Chapter 135: God?

General Berke was somewhat desperate. *.*.*/*

The fierce offensive of the Chinese made him and his men feel broken, and the mountains roared and the tsunami, and the dense Chinese soldiers were almost like a flood to crush them.

Obviously, as long as they have not occupied this place, the Chinese will definitely not give up.

As for Montgomery, there was nothing but encouragement and consolation. For Berke now, what he needs is not comfort, but the most genuine support.

However, there were no reinforcements ̈

It was dark and dawn again, and then General Burke and his men had to face the most terrible shock from the squadron once again.

In addition to exhaustion, the despair of the whole brigade is the most disturbing.

The Tambia Valley was full of Chinese soldiers, and the St. Thomas. The confidence of the Meissen Infantry Brigade was rapidly faltering, and many of them doubted that they would be able to hold on.

Soon another bad news reached the ears of General Burke, and a company of troops was again dealt a terrible blow. Most of them were killed, and all the rest became prisoners.

Now, General Burke knew that the final moment had come.

He also knew the importance of his responsibility, if the Tambia Valley was lost, then the troops under the command of General Montgomery would be most directly exposed to the Chinese, and at the same time, the Germans would launch the most effective attack, so that the British army in Africa could collapse at any time.

General Burke gave up all illusions, and now the only thing he has to do is to fulfill the honor of a British ** official and stick to it here.

The valley of Tambia has been regarded by General Berk as his own grave. One

On March 5th, the first team of the squadron once again advanced the front. The Meissen Infantry Brigade was crumbled one after another, and the smell of death hung deep over the unit.

General Burke began to prepare for the worst. He ordered the destruction of classified information, which would never fall into the hands of the Chinese if it failed.

The sound of gunfire outside sounded very clear, maybe Chinese troops began to appear around their own brigade headquarters, right?

Requests for reinforcements kept coming from the front, but General Burke could only smile wryly and ask that they must hold on alone, without any troops sent to them.

His last request for support was Montgomery, and the good news was that General Montgomery had done everything he could, sending an infantry regiment and a tank company to the Tambia Valley for reinforcements. The bad news was that due to the bombing of the Luftwaffe, the reinforcements were moving slowly, and could not arrive until the 7th at the earliest.

Number 7? General Burke shook his head in annoyance. Will their own troops still be able to hold out until the 7th?

"General, a captain from the Chinese has come and asked to see you immediately."

"Captain of the Chinese?" General Berke was stunned, but then reacted: "You're here to persuade you to surrender, right?" Well, let him in. ”

As General Burke had judged, the captain, who spoke fluent English, had indeed come to persuade him to surrender. He and General Berke analyzed St. The current dire situation of the Meissen Infantry Brigade and the suggestion that for the safety of the soldiers, St. The Meissen Infantry Brigade should immediately lay down its arms, and the squadron will ensure their lives.

"I refuse," Burke replied firmly: "Even if the present situation on the battlefield is not very favorable for us, I will never order my soldiers to lay down their arms, and I will not tarnish the honor of the British Emperor!" ”

"That would be a pity." The Chinese captain said calmly: "General, you must consider what you and your men will face if you refuse our kindness, your troops will be attacked by us in retaliation, and at the same time, in St. After the defeat of the Meissen Infantry Brigade, we could not guarantee the safety of the British officers and men of the brigade. ”…,

"That's our responsibility, Captain!"

Burke was stubborn: "Thank you for your kindness, but my soldiers understand their responsibilities from the first minute they set foot on the battlefield. All their sacrifices are worth it in my opinion. ”

The Chinese captain did not get what he wanted and left here with some regret.

However, Burke understands very well that the Chinese are not there to intimidate themselves, they will destroy this place and destroy their troops at all costs. One

Fierce artillery retaliation began.

A large number of shells whizzed down on the positions of the British, and a large number of German planes appeared over the battlefield. The whole battlefield trembled, and the entire Tambia Valley trembled.

Saint. The British officers and men of the Meissen Infantry Brigade cowered in their own positions or General Burke's determination to resist, but his men were far less strong

Fierce resistance was determined.

The only thing they can do now is to pray, whether they lose or become prisoners of the Chinese, as long as this damned war can end soon, and they will not suffer this terrible torture again.

On the 5th of this day Berke and St. None of the soldiers of the Meissen Infantry Brigade knew how they had their time. They suffered too many and too many losses, and the positions were almost completely destroyed.

It is clear to everyone that they will not be able to hold out for another day...

At night, the positions of the British looked very bleak. The wounded soldiers let out a cry of mourning, and they waited in pain and despair for help. Their companions called out to the doctor, but the doctor did not come, it was the priest who came.

There were no doctors, and just a few hours earlier, the clinic had been bombed by German planes, and a bomb had landed on the clinic, as a result of which both the doctors and the wounded inside had died.

The ground is the Chinese troops, the sky is the German plane, and when the two German ** teams appear side by side on the battlefield, the power displayed is actually so terrifying.

What else can the British do? Pray under the leadership of a pastor? But prayer could not dispel the threat of death, and even less could it lead them away from this horrible place.

"God is with you." The priest powerlessly swiped a few strokes in front of the wounded soldiers, as if this would give them strength and take them away from death.

"Pastor, I miss my mother," said a wounded soldier who did not look very old.

The priest leaned down: "Son, your mother will hear your call, and if you sincerely pray to God, God will grant all your wishes."

The wounded soldier's mouth was moving, and the priest couldn't hear what he was saying, and then, he didn't move.

"He's dead, priest." Just as the priest didn't know what was happening, one of the sergeant majors said regretfully.

God didn't hear his voice. God likewise did not hear the voice of the British.

"Oh God," the priest sighed in pain, "come on, bury him." ”

"Pastor, no one." The sergeant major said numbly, "We're all going to die soon." ”

The priest stood up and looked at everything around him. There was death and gore everywhere, and the soldiers were dying one after another in despair, and they seemed so helpless and desolate.

What else can be expected? What else can be expected?

The flares fired by the Chinese glowed brightly in the sky, as if to tell the British here that when the sky was shining again, St. The end of the Meissen Infantry Brigade is near

Pray, British. Pray for one. When the machine of war is in motion, no one can stop it, not now, not again. One...

March 6, 1943.

It's sacred. A day that the Meissen Infantry Brigade will never forget.

Under the cover of German fighters in the sky, with the cooperation of tanks and artillery on the ground, a large number of Chinese soldiers threw themselves into the battle against St. In the battle of annihilation of the Meissen infantry!

This will be the last battle in the Tambia Valley

One by one, the British soldiers fell in pools of blood, and one by one the British soldiers died after exhausting the last of their strength.

Battlefield for the saint. The Meissen Infantry Brigade is getting smaller and smaller, and the shadow of defeat is fast approaching every British.

When Montgomery's telegram reached General Burke, the general gave him a cursory look and said to his men, "Tell Bernard that we have failed." Soldiers are dying in droves, and we can't live this day again. Reinforcements can be used without one."

Yes, the reinforcements can not be used, and when they come, they will be swallowed up by this terrible battlefield again.

The battle of annihilation, which had begun at 6 a.m., had become silent by 10 a.m. This means St. The massive resistance of the Meissen infantry brigade is crumbling, and the Chinese have taken control of the valley.

General Berk and his staff officers at the brigade headquarters were putting up the last resistance there, and now the general, who had once commanded a brigade, had only a hundred troops at his disposal.

The Chinese quickly noticed this. They sent about a platoon of troops to make a tentative assault on the area, and although the attack was quickly repulsed, more Chinese troops appeared in front of General Burke.

The Chinese apparently thought they had caught a large prey, and instead of using heavy weapons, they patiently built improvised fortifications on the periphery, and they wanted to catch it alive.

Looking at the Chinese soldiers on the opposite side of the nervous but orderly busy there, General Burke understood why he had failed.

Self? p>

The defeat was not unjust, General Berke thought to himself.

After careful preparation, the Chinese offensive began.

They advanced here from two directions, suppressing the British with machine-gun fire, and then the infantry controlled the situation here little by little ̈ General Berkeley was really unlikely to rely on his own guard troops and staff officers to resist the attack of the Chinese.

"General, I can't go any further."

As soon as a staff officer said this, he let out a muffled grunt and fell to the ground, and he was hit by the cold gun of the Chinese

yes, I can't go on any longer. General Berke thought sadly in his heart.

After stubborn resistance, the British here were still unable to stop the advance of the Chinese. They didn't have to wait for the general's order anymore, they took the initiative to put down their weapons.

At 1 p.m. on March 6, 1943, more than a dozen Chinese soldiers stood in front of General Burke, and one of the leading lieutenants said in non-standard English:

"Sir, you have been captured."

General Burke smiled with relief, then put down the weapon in his hand.

The battle in the Tambia Valley ended with the capture of General Burke, the door to the battlefield was opened, and now the squadron could attack the main force of the British army under the command of Montgomery with impunity.

When Montgomery learned that St. After the news that the Meissen Infantry Brigade had almost been annihilated, although he had been mentally prepared, the whole person was still stunned.

Saint. Meissen was an elite British unit that had performed extremely well in the African theater and was able to launch counterattacks even under Rommel's fierce offensive, but now this unit was overrun by the Chinese.

Now, the Chinese and German teams are about to launch the most direct attack on the Allied forces, and the situation in the entire African theater is already precarious for the Allied forces!

Montgomery couldn't think of any way to stop such an attack, originally he had successfully reversed the passive situation of the Allies in the African theater and blocked Rommel's sharp offensive, but when another enemy of the Allies: China appeared on the battlefield, all this changed most directly.

May God bless Britain. May God bless Britain?

Montgomery doubted that God was on the side of the Chinese.

"General, this is the last telegram that General Berk ever stook."

Montgomery's chief of staff put a telegram in front of him, and Montgomery did not go

Don't look at it, don't look at anything now.

"General, the Chinese are massively massing."

"General, the bombardment of the Germans has intensified!"

News after news reached Montgomery's ears, and he knew that the greatest attack on the African land was about to begin.

The formidable adversary he faced, his name was:

Liu Zhaocheng!
