Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    At about four o'clock in the morning, the British and Indian army's attack on Xiduo stopped. It was not that the acting commander Adams did not want to fight, but that he could no longer organize an effective attack.

    Attacking again and again, being repelled again and again, one vigorous effort, then failing again, and three times exhausted. No matter how crazy the attack is, there will always be a time when exhaustion is reached. Wang Yiwu, commander of the 10th Brigade of the Sulu Mobile Corps of Xiduo Division  The major general put down the phone and said to the chief of staff: "Chief of staff, the commander of the second regiment just called. The British and Indian soldiers opposite them have stopped fighting. These bastards have only this ability. I  The four regiments of our army took turns to go into battle. After fighting all night, we still haven¡¯t had enough of it. This is the end of the matter. Forget it, we will report the situation to Deputy Commander Tang immediately."

    Then, he sighed and said: "The British and Indian soldiers are being advantaged. Unless the division commander has an order, we are not allowed to leave the position to counterattack. Otherwise, we will have our own brigade to counterattack across the board. No one of the British and Indian troops on the opposite side can even think of running away."  , just wait to be my prisoner!"

    Tang Qiuli received Tang Qiusheng's telegram, thought about it carefully, and said to Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe: "Yuhe, I judge that because Alexander failed to attack Xiduo and was afraid of being attacked from both sides, he should have found another way out.  I will not sit still and wait for death. I will call Deputy Commander Tang back and agree to the Xiduo Campaign Command's proposal to use two leading regiments to raid the rear flank of the British and Indian troops."

    "As for the specific method of fighting, it is up to them to decide. The purpose is to block Alexander in Xiduo. The remaining troops will be defeated and exhausted, and they will retreat and find another way out. It is interesting. I will use seventeen brigades with more than 200,000 people to block in front and pursue in the rear.  , I think highly of Alexander enough, I hope he can understand the current situation and ask for help as soon as possible, so that all my efforts will not be in vain."

    To the east of Xiduo, Major General Xiao Jinshan, commander of the 9th Brigade of the Directly Affiliated Corps, was running around in a hurry. For a while, he looked in the direction of Xiduo. For a while, he asked the communications staff around him, "Have Deputy Commander Tang come to give orders? I am really anxious."  ! Seeing that it¡¯s almost dawn, let me give you a happy word as to whether to fight or not!¡±

    A communications soldier carrying a walkie-talkie ran over quickly: "Report to the brigade commander, I have received a report from the commander of the reconnaissance battalion. The British and Indian troops are abandoning equipment and supplies, as well as wounded soldiers, and are gathering troops. It seems that  There are signs of turning around and coming back.¡±

    Xiao Jinshan slapped his thigh and said: "Oops, the British are going to find another way out and turn around. They will just happen to run into us. The raid turned into an encounter. Now we are passive."

    Then, he said to the Chief of Staff: "Chief of Staff, do you still remember the fork in the road we passed when we came here? We can bypass Xiduo, report this situation to the headquarters immediately, and order the troops to prepare for battle!  This battle is impossible if we don¡¯t fight it!¡±

    At this moment, Tang Qiusheng's order also arrived, "The forward commander ordered your troops to immediately raid the rear flank of the British and Indian troops and pin them firmly to Xiduo. In addition, the division commander judged that the British and Indian troops had turned around and returned.  The possibility of retreat through a detour and the tactical arrangements for this battle can be determined by your own department, with the sole purpose of preventing the British and Indian troops from retreating."
