Chapter 85 The British are crazy too!
“What’s going on?”
The British carried a bunch of boxes out of the woods. Not only did Meng Fan feel confused, but the reorganization even made no sense of what the British guy was playing.
Driven by curiosity, the reorganization even came over.
When the oil cloth outside the box was torn off, revealing the wooden box with English written inside, Meng Fan and the reorganized company finally reacted.
These are actually weapons and ammunition boxes, and the number is enough to arm these more than 600 British men.
How come there are so many arms in the woods?
With this doubt, Meng Fuli found a British army to inquire. After the British army explained, he finally understood the general situation.
It turned out that during the preparations in the Sichuan Army, these British teams did not do anything.
Under the command of the boss Colonel Rutgers, they relied on their familiarity with the airport's terrain and the innate conditions of abundant weapons, ammunition and medicine.
He learned the method of setting up camouflage positions in the Sichuan Army and dug holes in the woods in advance to hide a large number of weapons and ammunition.
As for why Colonel Rutgers did this, the British soldier was not very clear. He just followed Colonel Rutgers' orders to do things.
Meng Fu looked back on what happened recently and guessed that it was very likely to be related to Isabella.
Because Isabella wanted to follow Feng Yuntian, no matter how Colonel Rutgers persuaded him, it was useless, which forced him to change his original idea.
He could lose the airport and surrender to the Japanese army, but Isabella could not have any trouble.
If Isabella died at the airport, Colonel Rutgers would not be able to bear the consequences.
With Lord Francis' status in Europe, he not only could not save his second half of his life, but he could even be in danger.
In order to ensure Isabella's life, and to avoid sudden death on the streets after returning to China.
Colonel Rutgers followed the example and hid a lot of equipment, and prepared for mutiny in advance, which was not impossible.
Once a person is confused about profit or desire for survival, he can do even abnormal things.
certainly!
Meng Fanle is not 100% sure whether it is this reason. After all, this is just his personal guess, not Colonel Rutgers said in his own words.
"Baobabababababa..."
Just as the British were distributing their equipment, the Japanese army was transferred over to launch an attack.
Obviously, I discovered the mutiny here!
"Let's go, find a bunker."
Meng Fan immediately warned and then ordered: "There are still fighting in the airport, so there shouldn't be many Japanese soldiers coming here.
Milong, Cui Yong, you two go to find a place to set up machine guns on both sides, cooperate with us to suppress the Japanese firepower and buy time for these British men."
The British took the initiative to bring out so many weapons, and they already understood the meaning.
Meng Fanle knew that he didn't need to say anything more, so he could cover the British to get the weapons and equipment, and when they joined the battle, they could completely break the deadlock at the airport.
When the British saw the Japanese coming, they accelerated the speed of receiving equipment.
A few minutes later!
Because the battle in the airport was too fierce, there were indeed not many Japanese troops who turned to suppress the prisoners, only one machine gun and about 10 rifles.
With more than 20 people from the reorganized company to help cover it, and the mountaintop is far away from the open space where the prisoners are located, the British successfully completed the armed forces.
The British army was trained in militarized and had a practical combat capability far exceeding that of the airport combat force.
It’s just a problem with my thoughts and not lack of combat effectiveness.
At this moment, the situation facing the British was completely different from before.
First, Meng Fan threatened that the Japanese army would massacre, but now Colonel Rutgers, who had changed his mind, issued a battle order personally.
In order to save his life, he also obeyed the commander's orders.
The British in the two battalions changed their previous cowardice and, led by veterans of the reorganized company, charged towards the eastern mountain position.
The Japanese army's marksmanship was indeed very accurate and their military qualities were excellent. However, facing dozens of times the enemy's attack, these advantages were all smeared.
What's more serious is that the Japanese ammunition squad has been wiped out in the ambush circle.
The battle has been going on for more than half an hour. Most of the ammunition carried by the Japanese army was fired. Without logistics ammunition supplies, they could only save money and dare not let go of their hands.
A small number of Japanese troops who could not form a firepower net could not suppress the British attack at all.
In less than 5 minutes, the British army successfully rushed to the top of the mountain, and rushed forward with the reorganized company again, forcing the Japanese squad of the Airport Sichuan Army to attack the Japanese squad, and had to turn the guns to fight the British army.
At this time, the remaining Japanese squads on the hill to the east had more than 40 living forces, which were enough to form an effective defense circle.
Faced with the intensive counterattack firepower of the Japanese army, the British army was suppressed. In order to ensure their safety, they had to indent the fortifications to confront the Japanese army.
The Japanese army thought they could breathe a sigh of relief, but they did not expect that after less than two minutes, the situation was completely disrupted again.
The British men who were originally huddled in the trenches and shot guns suddenly became unafraid of death, and hundreds of people launched a collective charge at them with a desperate attempt.
Seeing the British attacking like crazy, the Japanese troops in the trenches were stunned.
Can the British army be so powerful?
The Japanese army can't figure it out even if they scratched their heads!
The British army, which was less than 100 meters apart and was not afraid of death, launched a collective attack. Although dozens of people were killed and injured during the charge, they eventually rushed into the fortification where the Japanese army was located.
More than 500 people rushed to kill only more than 40 Japanese troops in the narrow trench fortifications, and the number was suppressed.
Coupled with the natural advantage of Europeans, they are a circle stronger than the short Japanese.
This trench hand-to-hand combat, which should have been extremely tragic, has completely turned into a one-sided battle under the influence of these two factors.
More than 40 Japanese devils were beaten up in a crazy group, and there was basically no room for defense.
In the end, the entire team died tragically, and no prisoner was captured.
