    After leaving the Hukang River Valley, the eyes suddenly opened up. The great plains and shallow hilly landforms of eastern India were displayed in front of Tang Qiuli at a glance. Tang Qiuli patted the driver on the shoulder, and the armored command vehicle stopped suddenly and steadily.  Stopped on a high ground.  (Just read the novel.)

    The evening breeze blows slowly, and the brilliant sunset casts a layer of orange-red luster on the earth. It is different from the solid green in the Hukang River Valley, and even more different from the high mountains, low hills and clumps of shrubs in northern Myanmar.  , constitute the main scenery, with occasional large tracts of flat land. To be fair, the natural conditions here are much better than those in northern Myanmar.

    From a military perspective, such terrain conditions are most suitable for large-scale armored groups to conduct plain assaults. Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe said: "Division Commander, judging from the map, we have entered the East India region. Strangely.  Yes, I looked carefully and found no boundary markers."

    Tang Qiuli also carefully observed the surroundings, and sure enough, nothing was found. He couldn't help but feel strange. If he remembered correctly, two years ago, the 6th and 7th brigades of the Directly Affiliated Corps surrounded a village in the Hukang River Valley.  After the brigade of British-Indian troops, under pressure and being beaten to a pulp by the Japanese in Indochina, the British colonial authorities in India signed a border agreement with themselves. The relevant documents were signed by themselves.

    There should be boundary markers here. This is the simplest common sense issue. Our side will not ignore such an important matter. This route is the main passage through which Alexander commanded hundreds of thousands of troops to invade northern Myanmar.  , another cycle of history, and now, along this route, I have entered the East India region. For the British who have always been obsessed with Indochina, it is really a great irony!

    ¡°Could it be that the British pushed down the boundary marker, or rather?  It was intentional to confuse the border line. While he was thinking about it, Shan Hu said: "A few stone boundary markers are missing. What's so surprising. Maybe they were stolen away by that old guy Alexander?"

    Tang Qiuli and Zhao Yuhe were speechless at the same time. Shan Hu's words were as unreliable as they were. What could a dignified British-Indian commander who commanded hundreds of thousands of troops do if he couldn't get past a few stone boundary monuments?  Isn't he sick?  What's more, the boundary marker has been knocked down, are the documents still there?

    The rush of mountain tiger Shukai rivers.  You are indeed right. When Alexander's troops entered northern Myanmar, they ordered the soldiers to knock down a few boundary monuments in the Hukang River Valley and put them in their cars. As for whether they wanted to bury them there.  According to his idea, it is not just the Indochina Peninsula, but probably Yunnan in China.  Or even further away in Chongqing, with one defeat after another, his ambition became a complete laughing stock.

    It's okay to be ambitious, but you have to correctly estimate your own strength, starting from British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, to Alexander who was surrounded in Sido, and to the upcoming Lieutenant General Chelsea, commander of the British Army's Eastward March Corps in India.  , all overestimated the capabilities of the British.  They thought that the British Empire was still the empire on which the sun never set a hundred years ago, but on the contrary, they greatly underestimated Tang Qiuli's strength.

    Alexander, the only awakened man, and his chief of staff, Lieutenant General Adams, were surrounded by Sido, besieged on all sides and in constant panic.  Hold on to a glimmer of hope and wait for reinforcements to arrive.

    Regarding the topic of boundary monuments, Chen Feng, the communications director of the division commander, interrupted. Chen Feng took a telegram and said, "Commander, I received a telegram from the leader of the Chutian detachment of the special operations detachment. Please review it!"

    Tang Qiuli received the telegram, "Division Commander, I have ordered the detachment to go deep into the East India and Dongba areas. I will now report the detected situation as follows. Starting from the afternoon of May 15th, the detachment was scattered in the East India and Dongba areas.  The garrisoned British and Indian troops gradually gathered in the Imphal area. I led the special operations unit to sneak attack on a small British and Indian army. "

    "According to the prisoners' accounts, they received the order from the new commander of the Eastward March Corps, Lieutenant General Chelsea, to gather in Imphal and organize into a new combat unit. Their designation is, the 3rd Eastward March Corps of the British Empire in India.  The Third Regiment of the Sixth Division, due to the low status of the prisoners, cannot obtain more information. We will continue to conduct reconnaissance and report specific information at any time!"

    Tang Qiuli smiled truly happily. The war situation was developing according to his expectations. The British finally gathered together the last few troops and came to fight for him. Chutian's intelligence proved this. They came at just the right time. Look  Come on, Alexander is very cooperative!

    He handed the telegram to Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe and asked, "Yuhe, what do you think?"

    Zhao Yuhe thought for a while and replied: "Division Commander, I think that the emergence of the new designation of this so-called East March Corps, as you expected, was newly formed by the British to rescue Alexander's troops. I personally  It is believed that this should be the last strength of the British army stationed in India. Our troops are in western Dortmund.??Suddenly surrounded Alexander's troops, causing panic in the British.  [point]"

    "This eastward marching regiment should not be formed just to rescue Alexander's troops. I'm afraid it also has another purpose. Imphal is closest to the India-Myanmar border and has convenient transportation, which is conducive to the gathering of troops. It is the nearest main route to Xiduo.  The town should be the starting point for the attack of the British-Indian Army's eastward march. My judgment is that there are many, please correct me, division commander!"

    Tang Qiuli laughed and said: "Yuhe, how can you become humble? You have judged all the situations. What do you want me to correct? However, there is one thing that needs to be paid attention to. The British and Indian troops are in East India."  It is easy to assemble regional forces, and it may not take more than a day or two for the forces within the Indian mainland to reach Imphal.¡±

    "Therefore, if we want to fight the East India Campaign, we must be prepared on both sides, whether to attack all of them or part of them. If the Eastward March Corps is unable to assemble all its forces in time and uses its existing forces to attack Xiduo, our battle will certainly be  The fight was easy, but it could not achieve the main goal of annihilating the British troops stationed in India. No one could predict how long it would take if all the British and Indian troops were assembled. "

    "It is impossible for our seven infantry brigades and two artillery brigades, with more than 100,000 troops, to lurk in the Imphal area for a long time. What will happen if Chelsea, the commander of the British and Indian Army, becomes aware of our strategic intentions and retreats?  , these are all issues that your staff office needs to consider when formulating a combat plan."

    Zhao Yuhe wrote them down one by one, and Tang Qiuli said to Chen Feng: "Director Chen, call Chu Tian back. First, be sure to investigate clearly the equipment, strength, formation, departure time, etc. of the British-Indian Army's Eastward March Corps.  "In particular, it has no specific number of armored forces."

    "2. The scope of action of the special operations detachment can be expanded to the following areas. Imphal, Simpson, Saudi Arabia, Dinsukiya and other places can choose suitable targets to attack. However, the appearance of infiltration of small groups of troops must be created.  , to create panic for the British and accelerate their troop concentration. All attack plans must be reported to the division headquarters for approval before proceeding. "

    Then, he said to Chen Feng: "Send a telegram to Commander Tang of the fleet at Yangon Naval Base. The task force will set off in two days. Before that, collect intelligence on the following areas, the Nicobar Islands in the Andaman Sea.  , Andaman Islands, Chagos Islands, Sri Lanka Island, and Maldives Islands in the southern Indian Ocean. For specific channels to obtain information, please contact the Director of the Division¡¯s Intelligence Office. "

    Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe and Director of Communications Chen Feng looked at each other after listening to division commander Tang Qiuli's words. The British were in danger. The division commander was starting from both land and sea to remove all British assets in the Indian Ocean.  The islands are all listed as targets for attack. It is an astonishing feat to build a chain on the sea to contain any forces on the Indian mainland from reaching the Indian Ocean.

    However, neither of them dared to ask whether the division commander's next step would be to attack the South Asian subcontinent from the southern tip of the Indian continent. If so, the strength of the two corps would obviously not be enough. If troops were mobilized from the Malay Peninsula,  That means that the strategic focus of the Japanese Army has shifted from the Indochina Peninsula to the South Asian subcontinent. What should the Japanese do?

    In particular, Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe was slightly worried. Tang Qiuli saw the content in the eyes of his two subordinates. He smiled and said: "Don't worry, I'm not that arrogant. The vast Indian continent is not  What can be obtained at the moment can only be waited for the opportunity. The layout of the sea will contain any power that rises in the future on this continent. Imagine what big development can be achieved by regional powers that cannot get out of the Indian Ocean? "

    Zhao Yuhe and Yu Deshui smiled brightly, feeling a little uncomfortable because of their own nerves. In fact, neither of them could understand why Tang Qiuli, after his rebirth, wanted to fight against the British in the East India region.  In addition, they will also launch a large-scale war in the Indian Ocean and use all the islands surrounding the Indian mainland as targets for occupation. This is based on the memories brought by later generations.

    The neighbor who lives in the southwest of China is a restless man. He has a lot of messes in his house, but he always wants to be the leader in Asia. Naturally, he sees China as a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh, and he causes trouble from time to time.  Son, either hook up with the United States and contain China, or buy a few broken warships and clamor to get out of the Indian Ocean and drink from the Pacific Ocean.

    In their view, the Indian Ocean is India's inland sea. They compare prices with China all day long. They boast about cowhide, but they can't get the real thing. Their extremely manic hearts and the actual national power have led to the abnormal practices of those Asan brothers.  , Jealousy and hatred. In history, Brother Asan was doing something in southern Tibet. Mao Mao gave an order, and the Chinese slapped him with a big slap. At that time, Asan vomited blood and found teeth all over the ground.

    Since there is such an opportunity, Tang Qiuli will never miss it. If he makes arrangements in advance, Ah San will be ready.Only by staying in your own territory and being a law-abiding and obedient little brother can you live a more comfortable life!
