Chapter 250 Cut off the back road

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The artillery soldiers who fought against Japan and rescued the country opened fire violently. One by one, they smashed the British positions hard toward the British positions. The British positions were originally even simpler. This made their troops suffer heavy losses under the fierce shelling of the anti-Japanese and rescued the country. British soldiers were constantly torn to pieces during the fierce shelling.

"Bastard!" Seeing this situation, Lieutenant General Slim gritted his teeth in hatred. However, he had no choice. Who made them at an absolute disadvantage now?

As a last resort, Lieutenant General Slim had to order the troops to continue to retreat and withdraw from the range of artillery fire that was used to fight against Japan and rescue. Otherwise, the fierce artillery fire of fight against Japan and rescue would cause them to suffer greater losses. At that time, the battle would be even more unsuccessful.

On the other hand, after the Anti-Japanese Rescue, the British army stopped shelling and no longer wasted shells.

"Send a telegram to the 3rd Infantry Division and let them act. At this time the day after tomorrow, you must arrive at Jagu and cut off the British's retreat. Whether the British can be wiped out depends on their." Qin Shou issued an order.

"Yes, commander." The correspondent immediately went to send a telegram.

The 3rd and 7th Infantry Regiments, hidden in Minwu's Anti-Japanese Rescue **, immediately set out from Minwu and began to cross the Rukai Mountains. Two infantry regiments, a total of more than 9,000 people, marched along the simple mountain road.

Although the transportation facilities were terrible, the soldiers still increased their speed as much as possible. From Minwu to Reinforcement, it was only more than 40 kilometers. However, it was difficult for them to cross the mountains. In order to increase their speed as soon as possible, they even trotted all the way.

The British army's attack was frustrated, which made them completely confused about what to do next. Some British generals advocated retreat, but others advocated attack. Even if their artillery suffered heavy losses, if they seized the opportunity to launch artillery attacks, it might not be possible to defeat the anti-Japanese and rescue of the **.

As the commander, Lieutenant General Slim was also undecided. This made the British army even more unaware of what to do.

"Damn yellow-skinned monkeys, how dare they treat us like this? We are the British Empire Army! They dare to bombard us with so many heavy artillery and dispatched a large number of fighter planes to bombard us. Aren't they afraid that this would destroy the anti-fascist alliance? Can they afford such a crime?" Lieutenant General Slim was very angry.

Perhaps because they have been the world overlord for hundreds of years, these British people always think that it is natural for them to attack others. Others should silently bear it, accept the fate of being killed and enslaved by them. Once they are attacked and suffer heavy losses, they cannot accept it. This is regarded by them as a provocation to them, an insult to the British Empire, a trampling on the anti-fascist alliance, etc.

In short, all the crimes they can think of are placed on the enemy's heads. However, this is of no benefit to them in defeating the enemy, or solving the current dilemma.

"Gentlemen, what should we do now? Should we attack or retreat?" At the military meeting, Lieutenant General Slim asked. The commanders of the four infantry divisions and the brigade commanders of the Tank Brigade attended the meeting. Unfortunately, there were big differences on this.

"General, our 254th Tank Brigade has less than 30 tanks that can continue to fight. Since the Chinese have such strong artillery fire, it can be foreseen that their armor strength must be not weak. If we launch an attack, we may not be able to tear open their defense line at all." Brigadier General Kagel, the commander of the 254th Tank Brigade, said.

His tank brigade originally had 156 tanks. However, after a few days, it was air strikes by the Anti-Japanese and Rescue Air Force, and suffered heavy losses. In the end, only such tanks were left. It can be said that this tank brigade has been killed in name only. The remaining tank soldiers can only be used as infantry for the time being.

"I also think that we should retreat. The strength of the Chinese is far beyond our expectations. We are a little too underestimating the enemy! If we had known that the Chinese were so powerful, we should have gathered more troops. In particular, we should have launched an attack while ensuring that we can obtain air supremacy." Major General Eric also said.

After seeing the power of fighting against Japan and rescuing **, he no longer had the courage to continue to launch an attack. However, he only had the power to suggest. The final decision was still in the hands of Lieutenant General Slim.

"General, maybe we should ask the Commander. If the Commander disagrees with our retreat, we can only continue to attack. Although, I don't think the attack can win." Major General Motley, commander of the 81st West African Division, suggested.

Lieutenant General Slim hesitated for a moment and finally nodded.

"Let's do this first, I will contact the commander immediately." Lieutenant General Slim said.

In such a situation, sending a telegram to ask General Weville and then acting according to his orders is undoubtedly the safest way. However, he did not know what the President Weville would decide.

More importantly, this will waste a lot of time. The Anti-Japanese and Rescue ** will not just wait like this and do not take military actions. Once the two infantry regiments of the 3rd Infantry Division of the Anti-Japanese and Rescue ** move to the back of the British army, their attack will begin.

General Wavell was very angry when he learned of the British army's defeat. However, he also knew that the British army, which had suffered heavy losses, had no strength to launch another attack. If he blindly launched an attack, there would probably be only one result in the end, that is, to pay greater losses.

As a last resort, General Weiville had to order the British army to retreat, retreat to India, and then find a way. This time, although they failed, it would be impossible for them to admit defeat like this.

However, it was not so easy for the British army to retreat. That afternoon, when the British army began to retreat, the anti-Japanese and rescue air force bombed the British army again, delaying their retreat. This greatly delayed their retreat speed.

The two regiments of the 3rd Infantry Division of the Anti-Japanese and Rescue ** were struggling to travel. In order to speed up, they even rushed to travel overnight.
