Words written at the front of the volume: The rise of the First Sino-Japanese War has to face an end, because the editor said that there can be no nihilistic history, and I personally think that there is no nihilistic history.Historically, it is the land of Huaguo, and it should be taken back, the vassal country is the land of Huaguo, and the monarch of the vassal country can only be regarded as the king of Huaguo, how is it not the land of Huaguo in the feudal era?
I was reluctant to end it like this, I originally planned to write 10,000 chapters, about 30 million words, and I had to say goodbye to everyone in advance at 3.8 million words, and then I would write the end of the Ming Dynasty farming text: the official career of the end of the Ming Dynasty, I hope you will continue to support.The combat effectiveness of the indigenous army in Afghanistan can be roughly equivalent to the elite of Li Hongzhang's Huai army, but the Anglo-Indian coalition army in the white-knuckle battle is obviously two grades lower, equivalent to the Manchu Eight Banners at the end of the Qing Dynasty.If it weren't for the outnumbered numbers, the Anglo-Indian coalition would have collapsed long ago."
Is this the combat effectiveness of the Anglo-Indian coalition army, not much better than the Manchu Eight Banners," Zhang Haobo asked Gao Yitong."
It doesn't feel as good, but the Afghans impress me, 2,000 people are not afraid of hundreds of thousands, just like Tsarist Russia, they are all fighting peoples, and they live up to their reputation."
Gao Yitong replied."
Well, Indians are good at fighting tailwinds.They're still quite brave, it's just that the Afghans are too ruthless.Luckily, we dragged on with them for a day and were a little tired of pinning them down, but the British were very good and their overall formation was pretty good.I thought that the British were only strong in the navy, but their army was not bad," Mahmoudi followed."
A modern army, otherwise why would Your Majesty always instruct the Chinese army to move towards military modernization."
Gao Yitong smiled, "Okay, let them withdraw, if they continue to fight, I'm afraid they won't be physically exhausted." ”"Okay."
Mahmoudi agreed, firing a signal flare for the entire army to retreat.Most of the Afghan indigenous troops were happy to fight and were reluctant to leave, but at the urging of the officers of the Chinese army and the agents of the statistical bureau distributed in various armies, more than half of them still began to attack back, and some people fought back, which would lead the brigade back.At dawn, the rest of the army withdrew to the city of Kabul.As the Anglo-Indian forces were also exhausted and unable to launch any more attacks, the two sides temporarily fell silent.After checking the losses, the Anglo-Indian coalition army suffered more than 10,000 casualties, and the Afghan indigenous army suffered more than 1,000 casualties."
It doesn't seem to be a way to fight like this, Yamrali's indigenous army is less than 100,000, and all of them are not as large as the number of Anglo-Indian coalition troops, not to mention, the Helmand River is blocked by the British army, and it is impossible to send them all over" Zhang Haobo reminded: "If the Anglo-Indian coalition army changes its tactics and fights a war of attrition and encirclement and annihilation with us in batches, you will definitely not be enough for a little person." ”"Yes, I have thought about these aspects, if I really can't do it, I can only withdraw from Kabul first, and fight guerrilla warfare around Kabul and Kashmir, as long as our armed force exists, it is the greatest deterrent to the British army, and can give confidence to the entire Afghan people, so that they will not surrender to the British army immediately."
Gao Yitong said to Zhang Haobo."
Yes, as long as we exist, it will be a strategic role for the entire Central Asian war situation, and it will be of high strategic significance, and our battle will have a role, and we must persist for the sake of Your Majesty and Huaguo."
Zhang Haobo echoed.The two men discussed at the command post of the joint Sino-Afghan army in Kabul, and the commanders of the British forces in India, Daniel Lewis and Abdul Rahman Khan, also discussed countermeasures at the command post of the British and Indian forces."
General, let the main force of the British army participate in the battle more, I suggest that the units divided into regimental level should not be rushed up, otherwise the effect will not be good."
Abdul Rahman Khan suggested to Daniel Lewis."
I naturally know what you said, but your Afghan indigenous army, if you don't stay with the British army, will you have a little combat effectiveness, can't you fight yet, run out first, do you want me to say it, the Indian coercion army is not much better, if it is not with the British army, they will definitely not take the initiative to advance."
Daniel Lewis said.Abdul Rahman Khan frowned, "General, the reward must be in place, didn't it be said before that killing an enemy soldier can reward one pound with a reward, everyone will work hard, one pound is equal to the income of an ordinary Indian family for a year." ”"What can I do to eat now, such a long distance to transport supplies, and to cross the great desert of India in the middle, should we also understand the difficulties of Mr.
Governor, you are from Calcutta, why didn't you raise these issues with the Governor at that time, and now tell me, what can I do" Daniel Lewis spread his hands."
In short, the British army must take on more offensive responsibilities, even if it can't separate the various armies, at least it must be divided into three or four large pieces, and use our absolute superior forces to drag down the Chinese army, and we can't slowly consume them like this, otherwise with their current tactics, they may only have 20,000 or 30,000 dead and wounded in a month, and the longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for us, and it will leave time for Yamrali to mobilize various tribes to fight in northern Afghanistan, and at the same time, our army is large in number and far away, It's also much more difficult to resupply than they are.When the time comes, we will have two or three hundred thousand dead and wounded, and we will definitely be defeated. ”Abdul Rahman Khan said.Daniel Lewis put his hands behind his back, walked a few steps back and forth, seriously thinking about Abdul Rahman Khan's suggestion, and then nodded: "Okay, according to what you said, starting tomorrow, the whole army will be divided into four parts, one main attack, two coercion, and one group will be left as a reserve, I don't believe it, the Sino-Albanian joint army has such a small number of troops, it can fight with us for a few more days" "The general is wise, congratulations to the general for winning a greater victory." ”Abdul Rahman Khan saw that Daniel Lewis had followed his advice, and hurriedly patted his ass.In the days that followed, the Anglo-Indian forces used correct tactics to force the Sino-Afghan forces out of Kabul step by step, making contact with northern Afghanistan even more difficult.The emperor learned about the situation in Afghanistan for the first time, carefully looked at it in front of the map, during this time the emperor was quite boring, for a week, all the nobles who came to him were German nobles, all kinds of dinners, all kinds of lunches, all kinds of balls, all kinds of concerts, it seems that Bismarck and Kaiser Wilhelm I, the emperor as a person who came to Berlin for a vacation.Emperor Hua secretly wondered: The British army really has two brushes, and in the original history, the British Army performed well in both World War I and World War II.The German Army is known to the whole world, but the German Army was only able to defeat the British Army in the early stage, but it could not achieve the final victory.In the end, it was because of the exhaustion of Britain's domestic national strength that it failed.The British Army still has strong combat effectiveness, at least in the world, it is the first-class army, the first group, and it has not been separated by the German army and the Chinese army.In fact, President Moe's impression of the current combat effectiveness of the German army is only from the Franco-Prussian War, the German army is out of the mainland, or whether the European continent can be as strong as the British army, President Meng is not clear, but President Meng respects the German Army very much in his heart.Although the British could not find evidence of the large-scale participation of the Chinese army in the war, various sources pointed out that there are now Chinese army officers in the indigenous army in Afghanistan, which is irrefutable.The Emperor's explanation to the outside world was that he had already agreed to help the Afghans train the army, and that the officer corps, which was less than 200 people, could shake the weakness of the British Emperor Hua, and the British were naturally high-minded, but it did not let the situation further expand, but the British cabinet had officially urged the Emperor to withdraw all the Chinese and military officers in Afghanistan as soon as possible, and the Emperor Hua asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to delay the main delay, and the matter dragged on.President Moe doesn't want to expand the scale of the war for the time being, as long as he can maintain the status quo, but President Moe doesn't have much confidence in the Afghans.In the original history, although Afghanistan defended its territorial integrity, it was only defended in the hands of Abdul Rahman Khan, and moreover, it was Abdul Rahman Khan who defected to the British and became a British protectorate, which is equivalent to saying that the history textbook wrote that the British army lost the war in Afghanistan, but in fact it won and fulfilled the purpose of the war, just because Afghanistan was too poor, and the British expanded too fast at that time, and the steps were too big.
I haven't run Afghanistan like I run India."
Your Majesty, rest early."
Princess Katrina Kafu saw that the Emperor Hua was still looking at the map, and persuaded softly.Hua Huang clenched his fists, "Hmm." ”Emperor Hua's heart is heavy, and he always likes to hide everything in his heart, but now he doesn't hide anything, Princess Katrina Kafu knows that His Majesty is because of too much pressure."
Your Majesty is still worried about the British," asked Princess Katrina Kaf.President Meng nodded, "It is very dangerous to pin your hopes on the British not to raise the strength of the whole country to confront us militarily. ”"Well, it's the first time Your Majesty has done this kind of thing with great certainty, and it does take a lot of courage to make this kind of decision, but I think we have a good chance of winning, as long as we can take the Suez Canal before Britain makes up its mind to fight a big war, it will not be easy for them to bite back at that time."
