readx;?“ Don't wait any longer, the battle of Assam will definitely be won, so send troops now! ”

There was no doubt about this, Zhu Guowei glanced left and right, his eyes turned around the conference room, and the word "pride" was clearly written on the faces of every officer present. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info```

This way was too smooth, from the Meimiao all the way forward, like a hurricane swept across the entire Upper Burma, all the way to the invincible, all the attack. not only defeated the tens of thousands of broken troops of the Burmese, but also defeated more than 40,000 British Indian Army troops north of the Guling Temple, which is really invincible!

As the king of Dali and one of the commanders of the allied army of Daming and Dali, Zhu Guowei now also found a little feeling of "Juan, the god of war" - of course, he didn't see that Juan, who was black and thin, with red and swollen eyes and a scruffy beard, commanded an army of 1.2 million to attack 1.8 million enemy troops, and the pressure was not a little heavy. How can there be such a light wind and clouds as Zhu Guowei who is like a bamboo to win the battle?

However, no matter how Zhu Guowei doesn't know how the sky is high and the earth is thick, he still won the battle, and he fought beautifully. At his age, Jujuan was still preoccupied with the war to encircle and suppress the Indians, and almost did not let US imperialism see the joke.

Wu Changqing, the commander of the three armies here in the Guling Temple, couldn't help but sigh secretly, this King of Dali is really a deputy general, the Burmese army was caught off guard by his fierce pursuit, and it happened that 30,000 people were attacked when they were most tired, and the whole army was directly annihilated! All the baggage and ammunition in the ancient spirit temple city were given to the king of Dali. Indian Ah San was a step late, he didn't save people, and he was beaten fat. In a hurry to retreat, he forgot to burn the military rations...... If you are lucky enough to be such a general, there are really not many in the history books!

'It's also time for Su Yanfa to lead the way. Now the morale of the army is high. Everyone wants to fight, just in time to carry out the plan of a surprise attack on Assam. Wu Changqing looked at Su Yanfa again. This dignified-looking prince of Assam, with a pair of eyes that look a little slender, is also wide open, and he looks eager to try.

Having said that, who here in the Guling Temple is not eager to try? The Anglo-Indian army has already competed -- it is stronger than the Burmese army, the Burmese army is tender tofu, the Anglo-Indian army is dried tofu at best, and there is also the internal response of the princely state of Assam. The princely princes of India themselves were also preparing to rebel. How could this battle not be won?

Thinking of this, Wu Changqing also nodded, and echoed: "What the king said is right, don't wait any longer, now there are 55,000 people, and there are more than 3,000 Assam soldiers to help, you can fight!" ”

The main generals in front of the Gulingmiao Army were Zhu Guowei, Wu Changqing and Luo Ange, according to the order of the Southwest Front Army, Wu Changqing was the commander of the three armies, and the person who made the last decision in the military. Zhu Guowei and Luo Ange were Wu Changqing's deputies. There is only the right to make suggestions and no right to decide -- of course, Zhu Guowei's actions have gone beyond the scope of "the right to make suggestions." is exercising the right to decide, if he loses the battle, Zhu Jishi is likely to beat his Dali king! But in the face of a big victory, who will hold him accountable for acting ultra regressively? The winner is always blameless.

Zhu Guowei heard Wu Changqing's opinion of supporting him, and immediately turned his head to him and said: "Commander Wu, it is better for this king and Commander Luo to lead the troops in a roundabout, how about you attack Imphal from the front?" ”

Wu Changqing hesitated and looked at Su Yanfa. Su Yanfa said: "There is no risk in sneaking through the Naga hills, the southern part of the Naga hills are mountains, and all the tribes living here are under the orders of my Su family princes, and marching in the Naga hills is like marching on your own territory. ”

Only 40 years after the British conquest of Assam, the foundations were far from being firmly established, and British rule was relatively effective in the Imphal and Brahmaputra valleys, and almost non-existent in the southern mountains. Su Yanfa's family still maintains a strong influence - the Su family is an old royal family of more than 600 years, which can be traced back to the Southern Song Dynasty, and has a longer history than the Zhu Ming Dynasty.

Wu Changqing nodded, and ordered His Excellency Luo An again: "Be sure to protect the safety of the king!" ”

"The subordinate obeys!"

Wu Changqing said to Zhu Guowei again: "Your Majesty, Xia Guan has allocated two regiments from the 18th Mountain Army to march with you. If this sneak operation goes well, you don't have to attack Imphal, you only need to occupy Nongba and Giribam behind LinkedIn Parr. ”

……

"Your Excellency, the Chinese army has left the Guling Temple and is heading towards Imphal, and its vanguard is less than 100 kilometers away from Imphal."

Will. Hemming got the news when he had just arrived at Dhaka's Bara. Katla Palace. Located on the west bank of the Jamuna River, Dhaka is the second largest city and third largest port in British Bengal. Will. Before leaving Calcutta, Hemming ordered the Indian Army Command to establish a former enemy command post in Dhaka as his own command of the Battle of Bengal. At the same time, Dhaka City has also become the logistical base camp for the upcoming Battle of Bengal. Huge quantities of supplies, including food, guns, ammunition, uniforms, vehicles, horses, tents, weapon parts, etc., were brought from all over India in the port area of Dhaka City, Lalebat Fort and Bara. There are piles all over the Katla Palace.

"Let Gordon burn two-thirds of the stockpile, destroy the defenses of the Imphal fortress, and then withdraw to Bengal, and the troops deployed in the Brahmaputra Valley valley will also immediately retreat, all to Bengal."

Will. Heming repeatedly addressed the Chief of Staff of the Indian Army, Evelyn. Wood gives orders to the Imphal cluster. The Indian servant serving at the Indian Army Command brought black tea and snacks, and Heming, who was busy on the road and had not eaten a good meal, grabbed a piece of pastry and took a bite, "By the way, has Lieutenant General Roberts of the Burmese cluster retreated to Chittagong?" ”

"It's here, the Burmese cluster is basically intact, and nearly 10,000 soldiers of the Annam Army have been gathered."

As he was talking, heavy footsteps approached from outside the corridor, and a British admiral walked in quickly with a few staff officers, with a solemn voice, "Will, I've finally waited for you, there is an urgent call from the Singapore Fortress, hurry back." ”

The person who came was Arthur, the commander of the Royal Navy's Eastern Fleet. Admiral Hood. According to the orders of the British Wartime Cabinet, the British were in the Eastern theater of war with Will. Hemming and this Arthur. Hood is honored. The battlefields of India and Burma go to Will. Helming Haming, the battlefields of Malacca, the South Sea Islands and Australia were attributed to Arthur. Hood commanded. This time Arthur. Hood came from Singapore to work with Will. Hemming discussed cooperation with the battle.

"What's wrong with Singapore? Are the Chinese going on the offensive? ”

"Yes, they have marched into Malaya from the south of the Kingdom of Siam!"

The Malacca offensive is actually contained, and it is not difficult to take most of the Malay Peninsula, but the Singapore fortress is not easy to defeat. The defenses there were too strong, and the main forces of the entire Eastern Fleet were stationed. The defenders on land also numbered as many as 150,000 and were quite well stocked.

"Nothing is wrong, is it?" Hemming took a sip of black tea and nibbled on another pastry, "Do you need reinforcements?" ”

"Will, can you get it?" Arthur. "There is no problem with Singapore's defense, but the islands of Java and Sumatra may need additional troops. ”

"The Dutch are ready to join the war?" Hemming put down the teacup and looked at Arthur. Hood.

Hood nodded, "The Netherlands are already at war!" The Navy has already received the message, and the Indian command will soon have the same message. In addition, the Republic of De Wasland and the Orange Free State also sided with the British Empire under Dutch influence. The Black Empire and the Zulu Kingdom declared war on the British Empire and got on the ship of the Chinese. ”

"That's not good news!" Hemming's face had sunk. Indeed, the defense of the Dutch East Indies was a great problem and required considerable troops. "Arthur, my troops here are also very tight, and the decisive battle with the Chinese is about to begin!" There are not too many troops to reinforce the Nanyang battlefield. It can squeeze out up to 30,000 people, and it is impossible to have more. ”

"With 30,000 men, we can hold a few forts in Sumatra." Arthur. Hood didn't make any further requests, just nodded slightly, "Will, the battle of Bengal is assured, if you lose, Singapore and Australia will be over!" ”

Will. Hai Ming smiled: "Don't worry, you won't lose this time." His tone suddenly sank, "But next time it's hard to say!" (To be continued.) )
