Chapter 507 British Concerns

The Gurkhas are not like the British. They cannot live without lying for a day. The British Empire has been scared by Germany. The Germans' blitzkrieg in Poland has already made the back of Britain and France's necks chill.

After the surviving Gurkhas of Grost Battalion returned, they reported the battle situation and damage to the fleet and the British commander of the British Army in Myanmar. The number of enemies was about thirty, which was very brave. One person could deal with about ten of us. Even if they were two-on-one in close combat, they still did not have the advantage. The troops had lost their combat effectiveness and could not perform the pursuit mission. We could defeat any opponent, but we could not fight with the demons.

This is the reply from the Gurkhas to Major General Combe. The two companies of the famous double-capped Gloucester Battalion were directly defeated? Moreover, the Gurkhas refused to fight with the devil. The C and D companies of Gloucester Battalion participated in the pursuit under the command of the two major company commanders, and they suffered a heavy blow in the mountain jungle where they were best. Together with the minor and serious wounded, Gloucester Battalion left 176 bodies, including seven British officers and six Gurkha officers, including the two company commanders of Major Maggue and Major Zirane. This loss was simply unacceptable to Gloucester Battalion.

Major General Combe is not sure how heavy the losses are, because the materials in the bank are absolutely confidential, and only the Imperial Congress and the Ministry of Finance have a list. One hundred and nineteen of his rifle were killed quietly. Then the Gloucester Battalion, which participated in the pursuit, suffered heavy losses. All British officers were killed in battle. The Gurkha soldiers, who were best at mountain forest combat, also refused to fight again. The small troops that could be severely damaged in the environment that the Gurkhas were best at? Major General Combe almost took a breath.

The joint investigation team immediately appointed the commander of the Far East Fleet Earl Hausen and Major General Combe as deputy team leader, and immediately launched an early investigation to lock in the identity of the attacker and retreat route. The Imperial Rear Admiral Lord Mountbatten was the head of the investigation team to coordinate all parties and actively contact the Chinese side, asking the Chinese army to block the border and search for this attacking force. The blood sacrifice of mountains and rivers of the Anti-Japanese War 507

Major General Combe didn't know much about Lord Mountbatten. He only knew that Mountbatten was born in a royal family in Windsor, England. He was a great-grandmother, Queen Victoria of England, and his father, Louis, Prince of Badenburg, was originally a member of the German royal family. He later gave up his German nationality and joined the Royal Navy. He was a lucky person who did not need to struggle.

In contrast, Earl Hausen, commander of the Far East Fleet, knew more about Mountbatten's personality and experience, because Mountbatten had just been ordered to go to France to take the Duke of Windsor and Duchess back to England. Before leaving, Churchill sent several telegrams, instructing Mountbatten to complete this mission and persuade the Duke to return to China. It can be said that Mountbatten completed this task well. Earl Hausen knew very well what the Admiralty and Congress meant, and he might have to act as a green leaf. This incident was both an opportunity and a crisis for Mountbatten. Earl Hausen shook the golden whiskey in his cup, but had no intention of drinking it.

For Earl Hausen, the commander of the Far East Fleet, he, was just a sideline in the Imperial Navy Department. According to the Imperial Navy regulations, the commander at the fleet level must at least be at the rank of admiral. Earl Hausen is just a lieutenant general, and is also a retired lieutenant general. Being involved in such a big incident made Earl Hausen involuntarily happy.

Perhaps it is also an opportunity for Mountbatten. Which one is more promising, a 30-year-old with a royal background or a lieutenant general with a sunset? This is naturally self-evident, but there are always unlucky people in the incident, such as Major General Combe, the commander of the Army in Myanmar. He is undoubtedly the unlucky person who needs to find enough. The loss of 18 tons of gold and hundreds of kilograms of gems has caused great losses to the Imperial Congress. You must know that this money cannot be put on the table and is a piece of secret welfare. Why is the British aristocratic privileged class dedicated to the colonies? Because there are many unspeakable secrets in the colonies, those members of the Imperial Congress can get a very considerable "black gold" from each colony every year.

Myanmar has been taken over by others now? More than a hundred British soldiers have been killed, and nearly two hundred Gurkha soldiers who were going to pursue have also suffered casualties. What kind of enemy is this? The Earl of Hausen has seen the courage of Gurkha soldiers, especially in the mountain jungle, and the opponent has given them unexpectedly severe damage in the mountain jungle?

Before Mountbatten arrived, Earl of Hausen and Major General Combe had already begun to investigate because the other party did not leave a corpse or weapon, only crossbow arrows and shells were left behind. After analysis by arms experts, these bullets were standard Japanese southern eight-mm pistol bullets? The crossbow arrows had small signs of Manchuria hunting, which were obviously all Japanese.

Earl Hausen didn't know much about the weapons used by the army, but Major General Combe was very clear that the Japanese had a submachine gun called the Hundred-style submachine gun. As a weapon that was only equipped for paratroopers and special commandos, combined with the frequent attacks on British and Burmese wealthy people some time ago, Major General Combe contacted the Japanese.

Regarding Major General Combe's analysis, Earl Hausen did not make any statement, because Earl Hausen is not the stupid Major General Combe. The empire has now begun to taste the consequences of appeasement in the country. Therefore, on many issues, Earl Hausen's principle is to never participate in politics. A misconductive statement makes him fall into a passive matter. Earl Hausen is absolutely unwilling to do it, and the matter also involves the Japanese side?

The Japanese's aggressive attitude in China now makes Congress very annoyed, but the empire has declared war on Germany and has no military strength or strength at all at the same time to deal with Japan, the world's largest naval power. In fact, since the day Japan announced its withdrawal from the Washington Treaty System, the Japanese Navy has become an international deterrent strategic force. In terms of international strategy, both the Americans and the French who watched the fire from the other side of the river hope that Germany would burn the fire to the Soviet Union. As a result, the Soviet and Germany signed a non-aggression treaty and jointly divided up the flesh bones that Poland had thrown out by Britain and France.
