Chapter 25 Lure the enemy

The 6th Armored Brigade of the Imperial Army was sent out by the British Command under such circumstances. The top-down mood also affected Colonel Aguri, the commander of the Armored Brigade. He was eager to make contributions and immediately ordered the troops to advance towards Cameron at a speed of 35 to 40 kilometers per hour.

The National People's Liberation Army Command obtained the information that the Sixth Armored Brigade of the Imperial Army was dispatched by the thorn in his eyes. He immediately ordered the four battalions of troops to enter the preset position, build shooting bunkers, bury anti-tank mines modified from artillery shells, and sent one battalion's troops to block. The National People's Liberation Army's anti-tank weapons were mainly less than one hundred US-made Bazuka rocket launchers. This was part of the supply of the Allied forces before the Japanese surrendered, and secretly obtained through other channels after the war. This will be used as the backbone weapon to annihilate the armored brigades, other anti-tank grenades, mines, anti-tank grenades, mooring bottles, etc. This battle will be a gathering of all the weapons that can be used to fight tanks. It is determined and prepared.

In order to fight ambush, the National People's Liberation Army had already prepared for a long time in advance, selected ambush positions, and sent personnel to conduct secret inspections on the field many times. The location of each bunker and the weapons equipped were studied and determined, and many practical exercises were conducted on simulated terrain, and the best personnel configuration was found. That is, each anti-tank weapon squad consists of two anti-tank weapon groups and an assault blasting group. Each weapon group is composed of shooters and deputy shooters, and uses a rocket launcher to fight against enemy tanks. The assault blasting group mainly carries submachine guns, anti-tank grenades, molten bottles, explosive packs, etc., responsible for covering the weapon group operations, eliminating the escaped enemy in the tank, and seizing the favorable opportunity to blow up enemy tanks with anti-tank grenades, molten bottles, and explosive packs. In this way, each anti-tank weapon squad has firepower, blasting, and assault capabilities. Moreover, the movement and transfer of each weapon squad have very skillful cooperation.

The number of troops is not as good as the number of troops, but there is no martial arts advancement. No matter how high the training level it is or how advanced the equipment is, a force will probably not have any good results when it is not understood by the enemy situation. Especially when the other party is fully prepared and is waiting for work, the consequences of blindly advancing are quite terrible.

Colonel Aguri commanded the site of a first-class armored force. It is also the most powerful mobile force in the British army in Malaya. The National Liberation Army has long regarded it as a thorn in the eyes and a thorn in the flesh. However, the Royal Sixth Armored Brigade was accustomed to being arrogant because of its good equipment and strong combat effectiveness. It bullied the National Liberation Army without anti-armor weapons, so it was rash and underestimated the enemy and was eager to make contributions. It did not want to fall into the trap carefully set by Wu Ming. At this time, the various anti-tank weapons in the layout of the National Liberation Army were of different varieties, but compared with the 110 tanks of the Sixth Armored Brigade in terms of quantity, it was already in an advantage. In addition, it had a preset position as a support, so it was just waiting for the effort to annihilate the enemy.

The battle between the two sides first started in front of the first defensive formation set up by the National People's Liberation Army. The Sixth Armored Brigade encountered the National People's Liberation Army in a battalion. In order to make the illusion more realistic, the troops responsible for blocking and luring the enemy are the elite of the National People's Liberation Army, and hold fifteen rocket launchers. Inducing the enemy to penetrate deep, non-main forces are generally used, but this time, the National People's Liberation Army used elite troops. First, make the blocking more realistic to cover up the real purpose of luring the enemy; second, it is because the enemy's combat effectiveness is indeed very strong. On the one hand, the troops conducting the blocking must achieve the goal of luring the enemy into deep, and must be able to withstand the enemy's fierce attack and control the time well.

In the heavy rain, Colonel Yaguri launched three attacks from different directions, each time dispatching a tank company's troops. However, in front of the trap, tank trench and rocket launcher, they were all repelled, and thirty-two tanks were destroyed and injured. This battalion of the National People's Liberation Army also suffered heavy casualties.

At the same time, the National People's Liberation Army intentionally strengthened Cameron's offensive, and the telegrams for help made Colonel Aguri angry and assembled all the remaining tanks on the second front to launch a fierce attack on the positions of the National People's Liberation Army.

At this time, night fell, and after receiving the retreat order, the blocking troops resisted for a moment and looked exhausted, pretending to retreat, and retreated from their positions.

According to Wu Ming's understanding, strategy on the battlefield is psychological warfare. Thinking through the enemy's psychology and using various means and illusions to make the enemy's thinking develop in the direction of their predestined direction. Wishingly thinking, of course, is not enough. If you want to imagine yourself as the enemy side, what will I do if I encounter this situation? Will I be deceived? Wu Ming told the staff members in the staff department like this, and he taught them this way. This method of thinking from the perspective of others makes those staff members who think that they can plan their own strategy by reading a few military books. It can be said that the planning of this operation is no longer dominated by Wu Ming, but the crystallization of collective wisdom produced by Wu Ming's every attempt to pick.

Although Aguri occupied the blocking position of the National People's Liberation Army, thirty-two tanks were knocked out and it took several hours to delay. This angered Aguri. He saw red cloth like a bullfighting, and blood suddenly surged into his forehead and ordered the troops to set off overnight, vowing to severely injure the National People's Liberation Army in Cameron and avenge the arrow.

Yaguri was not without some reason. However, according to the guide, the road conditions ahead were different from those now. The roads were lined with low shrubs instead of dense jungles. It was very difficult for the enemy to set up an ambush. Moreover, he believed that the anti-armored forces of the National People's Liberation Army had been completely lost in the blocking war, and there was no way to threaten his armored brigade. Could it be that the suicide attack with explosives and a mobilizer bottle prevented his steel troops from rolling forward? In addition, Cameron's defenders sent a telegram from sending over to the reinforcements, and constantly asking about the progress of the reinforcements, which also prevented Colonel Aguri from adopting a steadily advancing tactic.

Night fell completely, and British tanks turned on the headlights, which made in the darkness hundreds of blinking snow lights - Yaguri completely exposed his troops to the night!

Historical coincidences are always so similar. In the Fourth Middle East War, the 2nd Infantry Division of Egypt wiped out the 190th Armored Brigade of the Israeli Army. The battle of the 2nd Infantry Division of Egypt was on the terrain of deserts on both sides of the road. The encirclement and annihilation of the National People's Liberation Army was also very similar, except that the desert was replaced by low shrubs, the day was replaced by night, and the sunny day turned into heavy rain. The results were amazingly the same. A person's anti-Japanese war, Longteng Nanyang, Chapter 25, luring the enemy
Chapter completed!
