The armies that participated in the world war were much stronger than ordinary armies in every aspect.
The troops composed of Indians were unable to attack the enemy, and the Indians did not have the courage, determination, or combat effectiveness to engage in a desperate decisive battle with their opponents. This is a common conclusion reached by various countries after the world war.
But if Indians are only engaged in logistical work, such as digging trenches to transport supplies or carrying stretchers, the Indians can still do it. Perhaps in terms of efficiency, the efficiency of Indians may indeed be low.
Yes, but Indians are very obedient and do what they are told without making any compromises. This makes the British happy.
Although the Indians sent millions of troops to Europe during the World War, none of them excelled on the battlefield where the two armies fought. However, in simple auxiliary work, the Indians were quite useful.
Therefore, in the British colonies, the policemen wearing red turbans were basically Indians.
In Sir Lauren Milne's army, there were quite a few Indian officers who were very experienced in exploration. After arriving at the Free Army ambush site, these Indians did not spend much effort and found the traces of those large vehicles.
Go to their camp.
Puchana and the others were really too careless. They just happily moved home after grabbing the things. They didn't even think about covering up their traces, nor did they expect that the Indians would arrive so quickly, so they were blocked.
Sir Laurent Milne also participated in the World War, so when fighting, it is still the same as the World War. No matter how large-scale the battle is, first set up the cannon and blast it for a while.
Sir Lauren Milne's troops are also equipped with mortars. This kind of artillery that showed its skills in the world war has now become the standard equipment of each team. In complex terrain such as mountains and hills, mortars are easy to carry.
With various advantages such as fierce firepower and wide strike area, it is no problem to use it to deal with the Chiang Mai Free Army.
In fact, among the supplies they grabbed in Puchana, there were several mortars. Unfortunately, the people in Puchana didn't know how to use these things, so in the face of the firepower of the mortars, the Chiang Mai Free Army could only
It's a passive beating.
When it comes to the use of artillery, the British have always been free to attack with as much artillery shells as they can. Problems that can be solved with artillery shells will never require an infantry charge. This is very similar to the wealth of the US military in the 21st century.
So under this level of firepower, the Chiang Mai Free Army really suffered heavy casualties.
Master, withdraw. We couldn't stand it anymore. A Free Army officer ran up to Puchana and begged. His shoulder was injured, and it was not bandaged carefully. It was just wrapped with a strip of cloth.
Suddenly, his face was full of panic and panic. His face was black and white with two traces of tears. He looked really miserable.
The Free Army established by Puchana has relatively free military ranks. Puchana did not say anything about giving himself an official title, so Puchana was called Lao Ye within the Free Army.
Not only did Pujana not object to this title, but he was a little complacent. Those who could be called lord were all wealthy people. Pujana was quite satisfied with being able to join this class.
It's a pity that after today, this patchwork Free Army will probably become history, and Puchana's heart is quite desolate.
Where to retreat? Puchana was a little blinded by the shell shock wave, his eyes were a little dull, and he was squeezing out every word he spoke.
Puchana is on the verge of tears right now. He just got a lot of pounds, and before he could count the amount, someone came to his door. Puchana has a death wish now. As for retreat, Puchana has no idea in his heart.
I haven't thought about this issue, so I naturally don't have a plan. Now I want to make a temporary decision, which is really a bit unprepared.
Don't worry about where to evacuate, just rush out first. Waiting here will lead to a dead end. The officer didn't have a specific route, but he still understood the principle of leaving green hills without fear of running out of firewood.
Yes, yes, yes, retreat, run separately, don't let anyone mess with you. Maybe the word "death" touched Puchana's nerves, and Puchana suddenly woke up, but the orders he gave were still confusing.
Master, we can't separate. If we separate, neither of us can run away. Let's rush out first, and then we can run separately. This officer is quite clever. At the moment of life and death, he can really unleash people's potential.
Yes, yes, yes, gather together and rush out. You go gather the people, and we'll rush out first. Puzha gave the order while stuffing pounds into his pocket.
There were too many pounds, and Puzha's two pockets couldn't be filled at all, but that didn't matter. He had reaped the full benefits, and Puzha still remembered to let others drink the soup.
Brothers, the situation is critical, so I won't say any more nonsense. Just rush out and I'll have a great reward for you. Master, waving a pound in one hand and holding his revolver in the other, he raised his arms and shouted in the middle of the camp.
As the saying goes, the first shot kills the bird. Before Pu Zha could finish his sentence, a mortar shell suddenly exploded at his feet. Pu Zha didn't even make a sound and was immediately blown into a rag doll.
The remaining Free Army soldiers suddenly let out a burst of exclamations, and the officer in charge of the assembly turned into an angry curse before he could finish his shout.
Come with me. If you don’t want to die, just follow me. If you still want to live, just fight with all your might. The officer yelled and led his team to rush deeper into the valley.
After withstanding the fierce shelling for more than ten minutes, only thirty or forty Free Army soldiers were still able to move. The rest were either dead or unable to walk independently. They could only stay in the camp and wait to die.
, no one can care about them at this time.
When people are cornered, they can really unleash a powerful fighting force. Knowing that their shooting skills are not very good, the officers do not force it. They only ask the soldiers to show their desperate determination, and all their bayonets are sharp, and they want to
Use your bayonet to fight your way out.
The so-called trapped beast still fights, the dog jumps over the wall when it is anxious, and there is still one missing in a circle. These are the people who are afraid.
In fact, the Indians are just like the Qing troops in the late Qing Dynasty. They can still shoot at long distances. As long as they charge with bayonets, the Indians don't have much courage. It doesn't take much effort for the remaining Free Army soldiers to break out of the Indian encirclement.
After running wildly for more than ten miles, the officer finally remembered that there were only 13 members of the Chiang Mai Free Army out of more than 100, and all of them were injured. It was really miserable.
