Chapter 27 The battle at the airport, the proud British guy
As night fell, the decoys stationed in front of the small slope were the old soldiers led by Xia Yuan. The combat effectiveness of the old soldiers was still very impressive. Xia Yuan also took this opportunity to hone them in the criss-crossing trenches.
Here, Meng was annoyed and they were sitting on the ground holding their guns, looking at the sky with somewhat dull eyes.
In my ears I heard the British artillery bombing the mountains and forests.
Milong was sitting in the trench holding a heavy machine gun. Sheep Danzi and Doubian were lying next to Milong and was sleeping. Meng Fangla felt a little irritable. He didn't know whether Long Wenwen commanded this battle or Xia Yuan took the lead.
All I know is that if the fight continues like this, all of them may be ruined by Long Wenwen.
"I can see that our regiment leader is not eager for fighting. What he desires is that we can be safe. The defeat of Burma has made the regiment commander see this war clearly. The appearance of Die La Die La is likely to convince us.
Head of the group."
Meng Fangli healed his leg injury, but what he was thinking about was his parents and Chanda's Xiaozui. He didn't want the defeated soldiers to stay here to fight against the Japanese. The failure of the Myanmar-Burma War was already doomed.
Well, even the 100,000-strong expeditionary force failed to save Burma. These people were left in the dead pool of Burma, with almost no waves to stir up.
Meng Fan didn't know when he saw clearly that Xia Yuan no longer wanted to lead them to continue fighting in Burma. Maybe it was the previous defeat that made Xia Yuan understand, and maybe it was the crash that made him see clearly.
During the war, he actually knew that Xia Yuan would take them back alive. That was Xia Yuan's promise to them.
And now the appearance of Long Wenwen is likely to change Xia Yuan's original thoughts. Meng Fangli hopes that Xia Yuan can stick to his heart, but Long Wenwen will make this trip to Burma too unstable, and he
It was obvious that Long Wenwen wanted to rally a regiment to defeat the defeated Japanese army.
Xia Yuan heard Meng Fanle's voice. In fact, he was quite conflicted about fighting the Japanese. War means sacrifice. It is very likely that these defeated soldiers will also sacrifice and die in the war. Previously, he had
He promised them that he would lead them to victory and bring them back.
The Burmese War was defeated as quickly as in the TV series. The addition of the defeated soldiers did not even bring much change to the war situation. A troop arrived in Burma and was dispersed by the ferocious Japanese army in less than two days. Yu Xiaoqing
A regiment he led entered Burma and was defeated by the Japanese army in less than a week. The army withdrew from Burma. The large Japanese army was chasing the fleeing British army and the defeated expeditionary force.
The airport where they were located had also fallen, and there were Japanese troops on all sides.
Vet Hao said: "Don't worry, you have a lot to worry about."
Meng Fangliao said: "The Burma War has failed. The Japanese have occupied Burma. Can't you see? The British are preparing to escape. If you don't believe me, ask the leader. He knows everything."
Veterinarian Hao and a group of broken soldiers were silent. Meng Fanlao looked up at the moonlit night sky and said, "The British are ready to escape. He left us here just to let us hold back the Japanese devils."
Bula asked Xia Yuan if Meng Fangliao was right. Xia Yuan nodded and did not hide anything. He said: "The Burmese War is doomed to fail. I will take you back to Zenda.
"
He glanced at a group of defeated soldiers and said, "Go back alive."
Veterinarian Hao said: "The regiment leader's biggest wish is to lead his troops back to Burma to avenge his dead subordinates, but now he is willing to take us back alive for our sake."
Veterinarian Hao's words made Meng Fangliao and the other soldiers fall into silence.
"Actually, it's not the leader's fault."
Meng Fangliao said: "It's not that I'm ignorant, I just know that Long Wenwen's ambitions are as high as the sky, and people who are too ambitious take human lives seriously. I used to be this kind of person, hanging around with the brothers, and I got into one thing.
Life is quite valuable. There is no price for your own life, but the lives of others are also valuable, but not in the way Long Wenwen uses it. He wants us to stop the Japanese army, but who will think about you and me?"
Milong asked: "How much?"
Meng Fan was silent for a while, then went straight to the topic, "He will kill us, but the regiment leader will not. I can see that the regiment leader is a very calm person, and he will not fight an uncertain battle, but
It's different than death. His heart is as high as the sky. He wants to lead us to trip up a regiment. Hehe, in the past, let alone a regiment, it was difficult for you to deal with a detachment of the Japanese army."
Mi Long said again: "Then I will kill him!"
The torches on the machine gun positions were lit. Under the dark night sky, they looked like stars, which could be seen very clearly from deep in the forest.
The scream of artillery shells suddenly came from above the head. It was the sound of mortars. The sporadic sound of artillery was not something to be afraid of. Xia Yuan had experienced the baptism of Shangganling and was not afraid of such sound of artillery. He even felt like this for a moment.
The sporadic sound of gunfire is quite cute.
The smaller-caliber mortars fell on the soil slope, like a goddess scattering flowers, and the dust kept falling. The defeated soldiers hid under the anti-artillery fire points, listening to the sound of artillery overhead.
Meng Fan couldn't help complaining to Kang Ya:
"Little Japan has remained unchanged for ten thousand years. Artillery bombards, infantry charges, and artillery bombards when infantry charges. You rush out to fight, infantry retreats, and artillery bombards. You don't care. After artillery bombards infantry, infantry charges, and they are used up by you again and again. That's it.
This rigid style of play also ate up half of China, are you convinced?"
Kang Ya complained: "I shouldn't change my name. Our village teacher originally called me Kang Youcai, but the fortune teller said that I was actually the reincarnation of He Xiangu's maid, so they changed my name to Kang Ya."
Meng Fan said: "It sounds much better than having money. There are 40 million compatriots. I'm afraid if there are 40 million people who are called rich, no one will know about it even if they die."
Kang Ya was a little confused: "Really? But I don't think she is He Xiangu's maid. My grown man's name is Kang Ya, and he can live to be twenty-five years old."
Kang Ya was very obedient: "Bah, bah, bah! I'm only twenty-five years old this year, bah, bah, bah!"
The defeated soldiers were chatting under the artillery fire, and Bu La shouted: "Xiao Dongyang is coming up, Xiao Dongyang is coming up."
The defeated soldiers quickly abandoned the chatter, stood up one after another with their guns in hand, came to the gun sight, and looked ahead through the gun hole. Under the dark night, with the faint flickering light of the artillery fire, they saw the cat crouching carefully.
Xia Yuan's plan was successful for the Japanese who were close to the slope. The slope with torches became the brightest part of the airport. The Japanese thought that the defenders of the airport were stationed on that slope and they wanted to take advantage of it.
Artillery bombardment, sudden attack by the opponent, and infantry sent to attack the hilltop, taking advantage of the situation to capture the entire airport.
The Japanese army formed a dense mass of black soldiers. They attacked the slope in small groups. Under the cover of the artillery behind them, the mortars landed on the slope one after another. The soil rolled up was ten feet high.
The defeated soldiers in the firepower point only felt that the whole world was shaking, and the earth was falling in ropes above their heads.
"Milong, you little son of a bitch, why don't you quickly set up your machine gun?"
Kaname cursed.
Mi Long quickly directed Yang Danzi to set up the heavy machine gun, "What are you doing? Shoot or not."
Ayi shouted: "Wait, wait for the commander's order!"
Xia Yuan observed the Japanese troops in the distance at the No. 1 firepower point. It was almost the same as what Meng Fanliao said. Under the cover of artillery, the Japanese troops emerged from the forest like locusts. They were a dense mass of darkness and numbered at least two hundred people.
From left to right, they formed a fan shape and pressed towards the slope.
"Don't shoot yet, put it in and then shoot!"
Xia Yuan ordered that due to the lack of communication signals, the order for flank and Long Wenzhang was to directly form a double-team on the Japanese army ten minutes after the battle started.
At this moment, in the British position, the sudden artillery fire disturbed the British troops stationed at the airport on the right. The old gentleman observed with a telescope, "Crazy, they must be crazy, they actually lit torches on the position, they want to
Expose the fortifications on the position to the Japanese?"
In fact, because the bunker was built very concealed, and the visibility at night was not high, there were only trenches illuminated by the torches. It was difficult for the Japanese army to find the fire bunker built on the slope, and the way this fire bunker was built
, Xia Yuan learned it on Shangganling. The U.S. military adopted this construction method to quickly build fire bunkers on the shattered surface positions of Shangganling that were bombarded by artillery fire. Moreover, this fire bunker has a certain degree of defense.
Artillery capability.
His adjutant put away the telescope and said: "The stupid Chinese people actually light torches at night. No wonder they can't even protect their own country. We will retreat the day after tomorrow, so let them consume the Japanese army. This will be more beneficial."
We retreat."
"I'm really not willing to give up Burma like this." The old gentleman was a little annoyed, "Stupid Chinese, we gave them the best weapons and equipment, but they couldn't even defeat a group of Japanese monkeys, stupid."
"We can have a good rest tonight. The smart Chinese lit the torch and exposed their position. They should bear the consequences themselves. We have given them the help we can provide."
The adjutant put away his telescope, thinking that these Chinese people could not withstand the Japanese attack. He added: "Your Excellency, Commander, I suggest that when the battle is over, we take the initiative to rescue these stupid Chinese people.
Your name will appear in newspapers to save China's allies from danger, and you are their savior."
"Good idea, let them consume the Japanese power first!"
The two looked at each other and smiled, with no intention of helping them. Even the artillery did not help Xia Yuan and the others reduce the pressure. Their attitude of sitting back and watching on the right wing deeply stimulated Xia Yuan's heart. He scolded these British people in his heart.
guy.
Even if we don't send troops, we can just let the artillery bombard us for one round.
"You really think of yourself as a soft persimmon, damn it." Xia Yuan's eyes became ferocious. It would be difficult to understand the hatred in his heart unless he tricked these British guys.
Xia Yuan is a jealous person. He likes kind people and hates those who bully the weak. The British want to use them as stepping stones to use their strength to consume the Japanese army and then reap the benefits.
The defeated soldiers hiding in the bunker were not discovered by the Japanese army. After experiencing rounds of artillery bombardment, the Japanese army thought that all the enemies on the slope were killed by their artillery fire, and the torches that lit up the slope also disappeared.
Extinguished by mortar bombardment, the Japanese troops emerged from the woods like a swarm of locusts.
When he was more than 20 meters away from the forward position, Xia Yuan gave an order, pulled the trigger, and the bullet came out of the chamber. It accurately hit the body of a Japanese soldier hiding behind the Japanese army in the darkness, wearing the captain's military uniform.
He fell to the ground and let out a painful cry. The Japanese soldiers at the rear quickly lifted him down and hid him behind the bunker.
The defeated soldiers of the two squads who were guarding the slope came out, lay down in the trench and pulled the triggers on the Japanese troops who were rushing up. The heavy machine guns in the four machine gun bunker firepower points sprayed out angry tongues of flame.
‘Ta-da!’
"Ta-da!"
Shooting at the precise location of Milong, the Japanese troops who emerged from the jungle trails of Burma fell down, and the artillery shells also exploded on their positions. Two squads dealt with a reinforced company of Japanese troops. This was something that the defeated soldiers had never imagined.
, in fact, they did not want to win, because they knew that the regiment leader would not fight an unprepared battle, and their role was to attract the attention of the Japanese army.
The plan went very smoothly. The Japanese troops attacked the slope. As long as they captured the slope, they could capture the entire airport through the slope.
The Japanese had a very good calculation, and they once thought that the defenders stationed at the airport were just a group of defeated troops, and did not take them seriously. The situation on the entire Myanmar-Burma battlefield has undergone an earth-shaking reversal.
The expeditionary force was defeated after only a few battles, and retreated to Savage Mountain and towards India.
The coalition pursued the victory, and the main force had already pursued it to the Indian border. The Japanese thought they had won, and they were crazy about winning. The enemy had no fighting power. It was under such circumstances that the Japanese army dared to attack with all its troops, even the second echelon.
He did not stay, trying to capture the defeated troops stationed at the airport at once.
They were proud that they had won and the airport belonged to them.
As everyone knows, the opponent they encountered this time was extraordinary. Just as they were engaged in a fierce battle on the slope, Long Wenwen, who was hiding in the dark grass, was already in position with the main force. He was observing the time on his watch and typing.
The gesture ordered the troops to quickly arrive at the designated combat position. The troops Xia Yuan handed over to Long Wenwen included more than 280 people. Each of them held a submachine gun and a light machine gun in their hands. With such ferocious firepower, it was inevitable
Eat this Japanese army that attacked at night.
The confident Japanese army did not notice that a large number of enemies appeared on their flanks. At this moment, they were advancing towards the slope with a victorious attitude. As for the ferocious firepower on the slope, they regarded it as elite troops stationed at the airport and took down the slope.
Slope, isn't it equivalent to taking over the entire airport?
