Unlike ordinary Marines, the platoon led by Zhang Chengye was selected from a regiment of Marines. Although there are only more than 30 people, they are all the elites among the elites. Not only are they
They are proficient in vehicle driving, unarmed combat, armed swimming, and their shooting ability is the best among the best. All of them are accurate shooters.
And because they came to Chiang Mai to fight behind enemy lines and lacked material supplies, Zhang Chengye noticed this problem when selecting people. The selected naval members were not only accustomed to using B2-style rifles, but also used to using the bolt-action rifles equipped by the British team.
rifle.
It is not difficult to meet this requirement. Although the current Lanfang army has been changing its equipment for more than a year, due to insufficient production, the old rifles have not been completely withdrawn from active service. A considerable part of the army still uses 98a.
Although the Marine Corps is the first to switch to the B2 type, there is still a certain amount of 98a in stock, and the selected Marine Corps members are all veterans, so it is not difficult to switch to the Enfield now.
The same Enfield is completely different in the hands of the Chiang Mai Free Army and the hands of the Marine Corps.
The Chiang Mai Free Army has been fighting the Indians for more than an hour. After careful calculation, it is estimated that tens of thousands of bullets have been fired. Maybe several rifles have been damaged, but there have been very few casualties. According to Zhang Chengye's observation,
The Indians' attrition never exceeded ten men, and several were accidental casualties such as spraining their feet due to panic. This does not matter whether the battle was successful or not.
The Marines' attack began with the assignment of tasks. This was a tactic implemented in order to avoid repeated shooting and improve combat efficiency. Because the rights and responsibilities were clear and the targets were clear, the Indians were hit hard at the first opportunity.
Just after Zhang Chengye issued the attack order, the Marines began to attack. The gunfire was not intensive, intermittent and even a little weak, but with every gunshot, an Indian soldier would be directly named. This kind of
The attack method, similar to a cold gun, not only dealt a heavy blow to the Indians, but also had an even greater psychological impact on the Indian soldiers.
Think about it, first we fought for more than an hour, and nothing happened here. But now the gunfire has become sparse, and the casualties have suddenly increased. I watched each of my friends who had been together day and night falling to me silently.
Almost all the Indian soldiers who were still alive in front of them jumped up and ran away.
As for those injured companions, let it be their fate.
Not many of them could still jump up. Although it had been less than five minutes since Zhang Chengye ordered the attack, more than half of the Indian soldiers would never be able to stand up again.
As for the British officer who was clamoring for a counterattack just now, he was a priority. As soon as the attack was launched, the British officer was directly knocked down by a precision shooter. His body is probably already cold now.
The sudden and violent attack panicked the Indians. A small group of stunned Indian soldiers actually ran towards the Marine Corps' position. They did not launch a charge, but wanted to escape, but unfortunately they panicked and chose their own way.
After Zhang Chengye issued the order, he was completely idle and had no interest in paying attention to the battle situation. If the Marines could not defeat such a unit, then the Lanfang Military Headquarters would not have to think about confronting the British and would simply disband the entire army.
It's better to go home and hold the baby.
In fact, before Zhang Chengye ordered the attack, Puchana's ammunition was indeed about to run out. For a moment, Puchana thought about retreating, but before the order to retreat was given, Puchana discovered that those who were still on the position just now
The Indian soldiers who were on tight guard have collapsed.
Perhaps Puchana's military quality is indeed not very high, but based on this alone, he dared to ambush the British transport convoy. It is obvious that Puchana does not lack courage.
After discovering that the Indian soldiers had fallen into chaos, Puchana finally issued the only correct order so far: rush forward, those Indians have been defeated, rush forward and completely eliminate them
The phrase "the ignorant are fearless" is very suitable to describe the current Chiang Mai Free Army. The battle has been going on so far, and the single-digit casualties have given the Free Army enough confidence. Therefore, when they heard Puchana's order to charge, all the soldiers
The Free Army soldiers jumped up and charged.
It won't work if you don't rush. There are still bullets in Puchana's pistol. If someone dares to disobey the order, Puchana doesn't mind using those unlucky people to establish his authority.
The group charge was still very effective. Although many Free Army soldiers did not even take out their bayonets, this wave of charge still became the last straw for those Indian soldiers. With the collapse of the Indian roundabout force
, all the Indian soldiers fled to death and could no longer organize any form of counterattack.
Seeing the Indians fleeing, Puchana and the Free Army soldiers did not rush to clean up the battlefield. Instead, they hugged and celebrated beside the carriages and cheered heartily to celebrate this hard-won victory.
Well, so far, Puchana and the others have not found anyone helping them, which is really shameful.
I feel that we have made a mistake. It is probably unrealistic to use these people to drive away the British. Xu Zhongqing has to admit that some people are born with mud and cannot get on the wall no matter what.
It doesn't matter, what we need is their name. It doesn't matter how far they can go. Zhang Chengye doesn't care. After today's battle, Zhang Chengye has completely given up. The so-called Chiang Mai Free Army will let them do whatever they want.
Go freely. If they can survive until the British retreat, these people may be able to get certain rewards. If they die unfortunately in the process, they can only admit that they are unlucky. Zhang Chengye will not invest any more money in this army.
Pouchana, who was immersed in victory, did not realize that he had been abandoned. Like his soldiers, Pouchana was busy unloading the boxes from the carriage. Some people even couldn't help but started violently dismantling them, wanting to see their
What exactly is the gain?
Fortunately, the box that was abused was not filled with artillery shells, otherwise this would have become the most bizarre footnote to this farce. When the box was opened, all the Free Army soldiers involuntarily cheered, and some couldn't wait to start shooting at themselves.
When stuffing something in your pocket, no matter what you catch, stuff it into your own pocket first.
Fortunately, Puchana still had some sense. Under the threat of death, those Free Army soldiers who had forgotten everything had to restrain their behavior, put the boxes back on the carriage, and drove the carriage to their temporary camp.
Shall we evacuate? Seeing that the Free Army soldiers had disappeared on the official road, Xu Zhongqing finally couldn't help but ask questions.
Cleaning the battlefield and preparing for battle. Zhang Chengye took his time.
After such a long time, the Indians in Chiang Mai should crawl to the ground even if they crawl.
