"What? This is a victory? How long did it take? This time the British and Indian troops gathered fifty thousand troops, and Yuze only had more than twenty thousand troops. The reinforcements we sent just passed Ya'an.
We haven’t entered the plateau yet!” Wang Xiao was also shocked, this was simply beyond his expectation!
"Commander, I have confirmed that the information is correct. Last night, the British army gathered tens of thousands of elite troops to launch an attack on Volta Mountain. Yuze seized this opportunity and dispatched two other brigades of troops to attack the British and Indian troops.
The frontal defense line broke through the British and Indian army's defense line in less than half an hour. Then it quickly detoured back to the foot of Volta Mountain and attacked the British elite on Volta Mountain.
The troops were all surrounded. This morning, the surrounded British troops surrendered. In this battle, we captured more than 10,000 British troops, and there were also more than 20,000 Indian troops. It can be said to be a great victory!"
Xiong Wu sighed. If Wang Yuze's previous victory was due to luck, then this victory is undoubtedly real.
"Haha, okay! I knew that Yuze would not let me down. Unexpectedly, he exceeded my expectations!" Wang Xiao laughed, partly because the Western Sichuan Army won, but more
, is satisfied with Wang Yuze's performance. His health is getting worse and worse, and he has always been worried about whether Wang Yuze can master Western Sichuan. But now, Wang Yuze's outstanding performance has completely freed him from worries.
"What are the casualties of the troops?" Wang Xiao asked. The Western Sichuan Army achieved such a great victory, and its own casualties were probably not small.
"The casualties are relatively large. There are more than 8,000 people killed and seriously injured alone, which is equivalent to a brigade that has been wiped out. Especially the ninth brigade guarding the Volta Mountains has suffered more than half of its casualties and has been disabled!" Xiong
Wu said.
Wang Xiao nodded: "The General Staff Headquarters will quickly replenish these troops! In addition, all meritorious personnel will be rewarded, and they will be promoted when they deserve promotion. The General Staff Headquarters will come up with a specific plan!"
"Don't worry, Commander. The General Staff Headquarters will arrange these things. In addition, the war is over. Should we ask Yuze to return to Chengdu?" Xiong Wu asked. Wang Xiao's health is getting worse. Wang Yuze should return to Chengdu earlier.
, there is also a guarantee.
"Let him take care of the border affairs first! It's not urgent to come back. My old man can still hold on!" Wang Xiao said. Because he heard the news of the victory of the Western Sichuan Army, he was in a very good mood and his face was red.
, but no matter how you look at it, it gives people a feeling of returning to the past.
"Yes, Marshal!" Xiong Wu nodded. However, as Wang Xiao's in-laws and Wang Yuze's father-in-law, he still felt that he should make plans in advance. Especially now, there are still some people with evil intentions in the Western Sichuan Army.
Under this situation, the army must prepare early. Otherwise, if chaos breaks out, even if the rebellion can be eliminated in the end, Western Sichuan will definitely suffer heavy losses. Western Sichuan is now in a stage of rapid development and cannot be interrupted by these.
On the afternoon of the 21st, the cabinet members of Western Sichuan, the Chief of Staff, and the Deputy Chief of Staff all gathered in the conference room of the Ambassador's Office. Wang Xiao summoned everyone. Although everyone didn't know what happened, they still all
Came here.
"Chief of Staff Xiong, has something big happened? Why did the commander-in-chief decide to summon us at this time?" Prime Minister Liang Xingrong asked. Because the news of Wang Yuze's victory had only come out now, and the staff headquarters had kept it secret, the cabinet
The specific situation is not known yet.
"Something happened, but it's a good thing!" Xiong Wu said with a smile.
"Is it the border?" Liang Xingrong asked. But Xiong Wu smiled and said nothing. This made Liang Xingrong a little confused. Has the border won another battle? Didn't it just happen two days ago? Now the British
The Indian army is approaching, and the border should be in a bitter battle!
Many cabinet members are also confused. The General Staff Headquarters must know the specific information, but they just don't reveal anything about it, which makes many cabinet members hate it.
Soon, Wang Xiao appeared. After not seeing Wang Xiao for a few days, everyone felt that Wang Xiao's body seemed to be thinner, and he felt shaky even when he walked. If Wang Xiao's face was not still glowing,
They thought Wang Xiao was about to die. However, even so, it seemed that it would not last long.
.The cabinet members have some worries. Over the years, the rapid development of Western Sichuan is inseparable from Wang Xiao's helm. Once Wang Xiao is in trouble, can Western Sichuan still develop smoothly? Although Wang Yuze, as a young marshal, has shown outstanding performance.
He has great talent, but he is too young and has insufficient qualifications, which makes these cabinet members a little worried.
"Good afternoon, everyone!" Wang Xiao said. His voice was no longer as loud as before and seemed a little hoarse.
"Hello, Commander!" Everyone stood up and saluted Wang Xiao.
"Everyone, sit down. I have called you all together today because I have something important to tell you. At noon today, the staff headquarters received news from the border. Our army has achieved significant results in the battle with the British and Indian troops.
Victory. The war is basically over!" Wang Yuze said with a smile.
"What? Won? Won so quickly?" the cabinet members exclaimed. Until the Western Sichuan Army was on the border, there were only more than 20,000 people, while the British and Indian Army had more than 50,000 people. It can be said that they are coming.
Fierce! Everyone was still unsure whether the Western Sichuan Army could withstand the attack of the British and Indian Army, but in the blink of an eye, the Western Sichuan Army had already won. This change was too big!
"Chief of Staff Xiong will tell you the specific situation!" Wang Xiao said.
"Yes, Marshal!" Xiong Wu nodded, and then said: "Everyone, last night, the British army mobilized tens of thousands of elite troops to launch an attack on Volta Mountain. The Marshal seized this opportunity and asked the Ninth Brigade to defend Volta Mountain.
The other 7th and 8th brigades stormed the British and Indian army's frontal defense line, and finally broke through the British and Indian army's defense line. Then they surrounded all the elite British troops who attacked the Volta Mountain. This morning, the surrounded British troops
Already surrendered. In this battle, we
We captured more than 10,000 British troops, and there were also more than 20,000 Indian troops. The commander of the British and Indian troops, Lieutenant General Henry Wellesley, the third Duke of Wellington, was also among our prisoners.
"There are also four British Army brigadiers!" Xiong Wu said excitedly. He knew that even after the Western Sichuan Army won the last victory, some people in the cabinet were not optimistic about this battle. But now, the Western Sichuan Army's
His performance undoubtedly taught these people a good lesson.
"Okay! We finally won. Now, everyone can focus all their attention on the development and construction of Western Sichuan!" Prime Minister Liang Xingrong said. Because Western Sichuan was at war with the British, various construction projects in Western Sichuan were more or less complicated.
They were all slightly affected. The news that the Western Sichuan Army had achieved a great victory would undoubtedly quickly calm people's hearts.
The rest of the cabinet members also nodded. Without external threats, Western Sichuan will undoubtedly be able to develop more rapidly.
"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs must immediately start negotiations with the British. Now, the British side does not know the news of their failure, so we must seize the time to negotiate with them. Now, we have tens of thousands of British prisoners of war in our hands, and there are 20,000 more
many Indian prisoners of war, as well as a lieutenant general Duke and
The four brigadiers should be able to give us the upper hand. I have only one request. During the negotiations with the British, we must ensure that our interests in western Sichuan are not harmed. At the same time, we have so many prisoners of war, and the British may draw some blood.
Only then can you redeem it!" Wang Xiao said.
"Don't worry, Commander, our Ministry of Foreign Affairs will do its best!" Foreign Minister Wu Tingfang replied. This time, the Western Sichuan Army achieved a great victory, which undoubtedly made his waist straighter. Before, Zhu Erdian also warned the Western Sichuan Army
I regret it, and now, the one who really regrets it should be the British side! This time, the British side is destined to be greatly embarrassed in the world.
"Well! Major newspapers can also announce this news to the people tomorrow, so that everyone can share our victory. Let the whole world know that we in Western Sichuan are strong!" Wang Xiao said.
"Yes, Marshal!" Now, all major newspapers are supervised by the cabinet. Naturally, the cabinet will notify all major newspapers of this news.
After the meeting, Wu Tingfang made an urgent appointment with the British Consul in Chengdu, Zhu Erdian. When Zhu Erdian came, he was still in high spirits. He thought that the Western Sichuan Army could not hold on any longer, so he wanted to compromise. In comparison, this time the British side was very powerful.
If you have a big advantage, you have a great chance of winning the battle.
However, he never expected that after meeting, Wu Tingfang directly told him the bad news that the British army had failed and even the commander was captured. Zhu Erdian immediately turned pale, and at the same time, said that he had not received such news.
He needed verification to be sure. Soon, Zhu Erdian left the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in western Sichuan in embarrassment. After returning to the consulate, Zhu Erdian immediately contacted the embassy in Beijing and asked them to verify the news.
The next day, major newspapers in western Sichuan reported the news that the western Sichuan army had achieved a great victory and captured tens of thousands of British and Indian troops.
Suddenly, Western Sichuan became a sea of joy. People from all over the country spontaneously organized to celebrate this victory. Before, when Western Sichuan fought with the world's most powerful country, everyone was still a little frightened. But now, they have actually won. This
Let everyone feel proud and proud.
At the same time, the news that Western Sichuan defeated the British and Indian troops and achieved a great victory spread quickly to the world, causing shock in various countries. If the last victory in Western Sichuan can be attributed to luck or other reasons, then this time
How to explain it? All countries have a certain understanding, that is, the British Empire has really declined.
