The captive brigade commander was not convinced, "You violate the tactical rules, if we unfold, you will sneak in; your cannons are used within 10 meters, which is also against the line. You are taking night attacks, and this kind of fighting style is irregular... Especially throwing out a precious tractor, it is even more contrary to the combat regulations."

"Haha, I'm not a soldier, Brigade Commander Daville, but I can tell you that close combat and night battles, artillery close-range shooting, and rushing hard without waiting for the enemy's firepower to unfold. This is the magic weapon for our army to defeat the enemy. These will not disappear because of our superior weapons and equipment. However, General, the battle regulations of your army should be directly copied from the British army," Liu Zhiwen asked with a smile. He interviewed a general from an enemy country with a condescending taste.

Brigade Commander Daville did not expect that at the beginning of China's self-defense counterattack, the entire brigade was killed and he was captured. So what he said just now was just to protect his face, talking about Liu Zhiwen, and he was like a defeated general (this is the case). He felt very strong in his heart and retorted:

"Yes, we trained according to the British soldiers' operating manual. The British army has been invincible since the Industrial Revolution and has been defeated. Although our army is limited to its military strength and is implicated by the stupidity of the top of the peak, it has been defeated. However, this does not mean that your army can still conduct a raid on the plain as usual. Our thousands of tanks can fragment 40% of your army that lacks heavy weapons, just like last year when it was against a Middle East unit."

Brigade Commander Daville said that Wang Jinxi was in 1916.+: The first one was unstoppable. However, due to the lack of heavy weapons, this army was wiped out under the attack of the superior British troops. Now it is imprisoned in a prisoner of war camp near New Delhi.

Although Wang Jinxi's legion involved the attention of the British army stationed in India, causing the center of gravity of the allies to move westward, and the thousands of miles of the raid fleet created convenient conditions, which can be said to be a great strategic success, at the battle level, this risky raid was completely failed and caused a subtle change in the psychology of both China and India.

Liu Zhiwen was speechless to respond to such a rebuttal. It is not uncommon to die in one battle, but it is unacceptable to the fact that 100,000 people were captured. Even the merits of the US Pacific Fleet, capturing millions of prisoners and exploding thousands of miles later were overshadowed in the face of such failures. In the face of repeated battles and repeated victory, the Chinese people's expectations have become higher and higher. Not only does it win, but it also requires a great victory, and it is best to have a thrilling victory.

They have forgotten that on the battlefield, a bullet will not turn around just because it is facing the Chinese. When facing a heavy machine gun, even if it has the advantage in numbers, it will not be able to equalize this disadvantage in number. Faced with a tank, warriors without anti-tank equipment can only use their lives to make a fortune. Every victory achieved by the Chinese Empire is achieved with a large number of lives, rather than by beautiful wishes.

However, Liu Zhiwen would not be questioned by Brigade Commander Daville.

"Well, we failed, but our troops lost at that time when we faced several times the superior force. And how did the British you believe in perform? I believe General Daville is also very clear. Just talk about the golden battle at the end of the last century, how many British people were and how many Boers were. How well the British fought, the general will not forget."

This time Daville was speechless. The Boer War was an indelible pain in the British Empire. India, which always claimed to be directly under the United Kingdom, was deeply ashamed of it. The Boer War lasted for five years, and both sides suffered heavy casualties. Almost all adult men in the Boer nationwide were mobilized to serve in the army, the land was lacking in manpower and livestock were on the verge of extinction.

Britain changed its commander three times, invested 450,000 troops, with nearly 10 casualties, and costing 223 million pounds. This heavy price has caused the anti-war sentiment of the people in the country to rise, and world public opinion has also strongly criticized Britain. The elderly Queen Victoria was anxious and worried about the war day and night, and coupled with domestic political struggles and her husband's premature death, the queen eventually died of illness in January 1901.

On 531, 1902, Britain knew that it could not kill the Boers, so it signed the "Frinihin Peace Treaty" with it, stipulating that the United Kingdom was the legal sovereign of the Boers, but recognized the freedom and property of the Boers, and allocated funds to assist the Boers in reorganizing their homes and establishing an autonomous government.

Although the Boer War ended with the victory of Britain, the British Empire was in an extremely unfavorable position. The European powers almost unanimously condemned Britain's policies in South Africa, believing that Britain bullied two small Boer countries in order to seek gold. They believed that the huge gold benefits Britain gained after defeating Boer would put them at a disadvantage. Therefore, France, Russia and Germany sought to unite and jointly fight against Britain. In 1900, taking advantage of Britain's in the war, France and Russia had no time to take care of it, and France and Russia secretly divided their spheres of influence in Turkey around Britain.

More importantly, due to the Boer War, Britain had to weaken its control over China, and the consequences of this laissez-faire were very terrible. Until now, Britain had to face its two former allies, Germany and China. Before the Boer War, Britain had once suppressed Germany and China while being strong. It can be said that Britain won the Boer War and then lost the whole world!

But then again, if the British Army had not been too bad, it would have been less than five years for Chinese people who had flexible and changeable combat operations. It only took 300,000 people to handle it. At this point, the world is generally recognized that after this battle, the British Army had basically plummeted after the great powers, and there was no longer the majesty of the army that could compete with Emperor Napoleon in the era of Duke of Iron.

"It has been a long time since the Boer War. The new British army has gotten rid of this rigid combat mode and has become more flexible..." After being inspired by Liu Zhiwen, Major General Daville immediately started talking endlessly. From tactics to individual equipment, he said clearly. Liu Zhiwen was full of joy. Unexpectedly, he could encounter such good things, so he hurriedly recorded them one by one. Finally, in order to prevent Daville from waking up, he even made a few polite words.

"Brig Commander Daville, we lost that battle, but I believe that we will be able to get them out soon. Now I hope you can cooperate with us and take some shots." Liu Zhiwen was a little angry, but it was a bit too much to use violent education for a prisoner. Liu Zhiwen was not that kind of person.

Daville was a little shy: "Now the clothes are not neat, the beard is very long, it's too embarrassing. Let's take a photo at the prisoner-of-war camp!"

"No, we need to shoot now, please cooperate with our shooting actions."

"Then please do not publish these shots in newspapers and magazines such as "People's China", "China Construction" and "Beijing Weekly". There are many people reading the English version of these newspapers in India, so as not to be difficult to deal with when returning home in the future." Seeing that his request was not met, Major General Daville made another request. Liu Zhiwen despised Major General Daville in his heart. He could not occupy favorable terrain before the war, and could not control the troops and lead his troops to counterattack after the war, and could not recognize the situation after the war. Such a general could still be called a long-time general. There was no one in India.

After filming the program, Liu Zhiwen walked a little longer, and the distance from Laze Mountain Pass to Wang was the southern slope of the Himalayas, with high mountains and deep valleys and steep slopes and narrow roads. Last time he used a helicopter, he arrived in just two hours, and the feeling of walking this time was very different.

Not only should we be wary of the scattered Indian soldiers hiding in the forest, but we also tasted the taste of "difficulty in walking". We often get cramps in our calves downhill, and we are so tired that we can't straighten our waists. After trekking for a day, we can also see the place we set off when we start sleeping. When we start sleeping in the open, we put on moisture-proof canvas, covered our coats, and slept on the hillside, but we don't want to wake up in the middle of the night and can't touch the "quilt". It turns out that my body is sliding down the slope and the coat is covered above my head.

When we go to bed at night, we have to pedal the roots or stones to prevent our bodies from sliding down. The waterfalls and streams in the mountains are cool and sweet, and we can drink and drink at any time, but we have to worry about eating every day, because when the self-defense counterattack war began, we all reduced the grain bags to lightly wear. When these "scattered soldiers" gathered together, there was no food, so we had to pick up the rice and canned food left by the Yin army, or ask for some from the left-behind personnel and line-finding soldiers we encountered. If we were not lucky and could not pick up things or meet people, we had to tighten our belts and endure it. We just walked and stopped and took 3 hours to reach Dawang, and the command center had already settled in 2 days.

Dawang is located on the hillside. The Dawang River flows southward. It is the capital of the southern part of Tibet. It has 37 villages and more than 1,000 households, and the residents are all Menba people. The climate here is mild, with snowy tops around the hillside, towering pine and fir pine and fir in the valleys on the hillside, and hundreds of barracks of the Indian invading army are scattered on dozens of hills. The 7th Brigade of the Indian Army is located here.

When we arrived in Dawang, residents who hid in the mountains and forests to escape the war and worry about being affected by the Indian invading army had returned to their hometowns. Border guards helped them harvest and sow seeds. Many people had just dried their freshly-killed millet and rice in front of their houses, and bright red peppers were drying on the roofs. Some village crops had been harvested. The soldiers and residents drove their cattle to turn over the ground and sow winter wheat.

The famous Dawang Temple, when the Indian army fled, the lama hid everywhere, leaving only an old man guarding the door. However, when Liu Zhiwen came to interview, the Buddhist lamps were brightly opened in the sutra hall, and the cigarettes were scattered, and the lamas were ringing bells and drums, chanting sutras. Due to the war, the residents living in the area north of the Dawang River were bombed and burned, and people and animals were killed and injured by shells. The mature crops could not be harvested, so they had to let the crops rot in the ground.
