Rebirth of the Northern Giants

"Colonel Brand, you lead a thousand soldiers to cover the blasting warriors." Major General Macdonald did not change his face, and gave orders to his beloved general without being flattered or humiliated.
"Yes, General, even if the Chinese rush out of the city, my soldiers will not take a step back." Colonel Bland is a traditional British soldier. In his eyes, he does not see what it means to back down.
"My colonel, I wish you good luck, and may the Lord bless the victory of our first war." Major General MacDonald drew a cross on his chest sincerely.
On the other side, more than 100 British demolition personnel are mobilizing before the war.
The leader of their operation was a second lieutenant named Misher. He stood on a small mound and said solemnly: "Soldiers, it's time for the empire to need you. The Chinese have assembled a large number of troops in the city. , the general is wise, he cleverly avoided the ambush of the Chinese, and prepared to attack from the side wall. We may have some heroic sacrifices in this war, but his name will be recorded in the imperial archives forever, soldiers , do you have anything else to say?"
There was some commotion among more than 100 British soldiers.
"Second Lieutenant, if I die, please deliver this letter to my wife and tell her that I have always loved her in my heart."
"Second lieutenant, this is the only property I have. If I die unfortunately, please hand it over to my son."
For a while, most of the soldiers handed over some relics and suicide notes to Misher, and they were ready to die in battle.
Tears welled up in Mixianer's eyes, and he looked at these soldiers with great emotion, "May the Lord be with you." Mixianer wiped away his tears, and a reporter with the army next to him also recorded the touching scene with red eyes. With such soldiers, how could they not defeat the Chinese.
The reporter excitedly wrote on the small book: "There is such a group of people who don't ask for anything in return, but have been silently maintaining the dignity of the empire on which the sun never sets. At this moment, I hate that I can't be one of them In the next moment, maybe most of them will die in this city called Yadong City, but their spirit will always inspire me, Lord, praise them.”
The reporter closed the notebook and took another look at the city in the distance. The walls of this city are made of earth and are about two meters high. If you jump up hard, you should be able to jump in.
Major General MacDonald stood straight with a blank face, his eyes looked into the distance, and then he raised his wrist to look.
"It's time." He slowly ordered: "Brand, start preparing to attack."
"It's the general"
Ten minutes later, high-pitched military music resounded outside Yadong City.
More than 1000 British troops were divided into several columns and moved forward slowly.
"Shoot," roared Colonel Bland in his characteristically English accent.
bang bang
砰
Gunshots sounded like popping beans outside Yadong City.
Rows of bullets were fired continuously, and two of the Maxine machine guns pulled up strings of flames.
The bullets hit the wall of the earthen city, and the dust flew up, leaving bullet holes like a honeycomb.
More than 100 blasting team members took this opportunity, like tigers descending the mountain, half-bowed, and quickly ran towards the bottom of the city wall.
In the telescope of Major General MacDonald, the Chinese in the city finally made a movement, and they ran towards the street in panic.
"Hmph, Chinese, even if you have all kinds of tricks, you can't resist the brave soldiers of our British Empire." Major General Macdonald showed a smile.
The blasting team went through untold hardships, crawled forward, and rolled and climbed, and finally reached the bottom of the city wall after half an hour.
Second Lieutenant Mischer quickly took out the explosives, and roared an order: "Soldiers, now is the critical moment. As long as we ignite the explosives and blow up this section of the city wall, we will be able to swarm in, but the Chinese must have found out. Our actions, there may be Chinese soldiers behind the city walls who heard the news, so you have to protect yourselves.”
More than 100 people were lying half dead outside the city wall at the same time, pushing against it with force. The city wall was in disrepair for a long time, and a large piece of earth brick unexpectedly fell down.
"It's bad that the Chinese started attacking from inside. They want to bury us alive." A soldier screamed.
As soon as he finished speaking, the earthen wall above collapsed and fell right on top of him.
At this time, most of the soldiers had already placed explosives and were ready to explode.
"Leave me alone, my body is suppressed and I can't escape, detonate the explosives quickly." The soldier continued bravely.
The other soldiers looked at him with red eyes, but they had to grit their teeth, ignited the explosives quickly, and then retreated quickly.
Boom, boom, boom.
The huge explosion sounded soaring into the sky, and the mud was splashed, leaving a large passage on the city wall.Gunpowder smoke is everywhere, dust is flying, and the battlefield is shrouded in it, which looks gloomy and terrifying.
More than 1000 British cover soldiers pointed their guns at this area even with shouts and shouts, and fired straight at it.
Major General MacDonald breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself: "It seems that the firepower of the Chinese is completely inferior to ours, we have completely suppressed their firepower, and it is time to launch a general offensive. "
The British army drums grew louder.
The British soldiers who heard the sound of military music began to charge desperately.
Like locusts, they swarmed towards the gap in the city wall.
It didn't take long for more than 100 British soldiers to pass through the gap and enter the city.
Major General MacDonald had a tense expression on his face, success or failure was at stake, his palms were sweaty, and he couldn't help picking up the binoculars to look at it.
What's going on, why didn't the soldiers who attacked the city stop shooting and didn't make any sound. Could it be that they were surrounded by Chinese [奇书网·电书下载园—wWw.QiSuu.cOm] and didn't fire a single shot? surrendered.
Major General Macdonald felt as if a huge rock was pressing on his heart, and he became uneasy.
While Major General Macdonald was in a hurry, the British soldiers who rushed into the city stared blankly at the situation in front of them.
Inside the city, there was not a single Chinese soldier, and behind the city walls, there was nothing but a pile of rubbish.
They were astonished, and at the same time, they were also a little terrified. Could it be that the Chinese are hiding somewhere, and they are about to come out and bite us hard.
The soldiers who entered at the beginning quickly squatted on the ground, or found a hiding place, quietly looking at the surrounding environment.
The soldiers at the back followed suit, and did not dare to rush forward, so they climbed down on the spot.
Half an hour later, Major General MacDonald strutted into Yadong City in his beautiful military boots, and the Tibetan commander of Yadong City led the way.
Not long ago, the Chinese commander walked out of the city gates and offered to surrender to the British.
Major General MacDonald was overjoyed, thinking that after his hard work and the heroic fighting of the soldiers, the Chinese finally succumbed.
12月6日,麦克唐纳少将向印度总督寇松发去一封电报:于12月6日经过激烈枪战占领西藏亚东城,以一人伤亡的代价迫使西藏600军队投降。
Curzon, the Governor of India, replied: The general has won another victory for the British Empire that can be written into the textbook. I hope the general can occupy the whole of Tibet as soon as possible.
The second volume of the capital's situation
The British commander, Major General Macdonald, was overjoyed by the bloodless occupation of Yadong City. He decided to take a break before continuing to attack the next city in Tibet, Pali City.
A few days later, at a place about 10 miles from Yadong, the British army split into two groups.Major General Macdonald led the brigade to rest and reorganize, and once again Randall, a captain with rich military talents, led a small force to sneak into Parry City for reconnaissance.
At an altitude of 15000 feet, about 30 miles in front of the British garrison, Parry was, according to British intelligence, the highest city in the world at the time.The information returned by the small unit of the British army showed that there was a Tibetan army in Pali City, ready to meet the enemy.
Not only that, this small force of the British also brought news that the walls of Parry City were strong and easy to defend but difficult to attack.
