Vol 3 Chapter 351: Myanmar Jungle War (2)

Chapter 351 Burma Jungle War (2)
Mandalay, Myanmar.
As Burma ’s defense battle is about to explode, in order to decisively resist the attack by the Allies, Mandalay, a once-highly developed city, had to stop and build a large number of air defense bunkers and frequent air defense exercises, not just a large number of nearby field airports and air defenses. Troops participate in drills and are more targeted at ordinary people.
As the provincial capital of Southeast Asian provinces, Mandalay's political status will be the political center of Southeast Asia in the future. Today, it is the most populous city in Southeast Asia, with its factories, clusters of buildings, and the location of the provincial capital. After the Burma war goes on, it will inevitably be severely bombed by the Allies.
On November 21, General Zheng Zhinan, commander of the Southeast Asian Front of the National Defense Forces who traveled south with the army, arrived in Mandalay with Commander Zhang Zhizhong of the 9th Army to establish the Myanmar Campaign Command in the jungle as the command center for the entire campaign.
When Zheng Zhinan saw Tuo Zhong, the new governor was so dusty that he had to wipe it off.
"Commander Zheng, Commander Zhang, welcome."
After serving as the governor of the province, Tuozhong officially took off the Burmese People's Army uniform that had been worn for nearly two decades and replaced it with a southwestern one. The whole person is about forty years old, but has the calmness and wisdom of the official Fengjiang.
Although he is no longer in charge of commanding the army, he is also responsible for coordinating the military training of the province. He is in charge of national defense, recruiting, training, and militia organization.
When he received the news that Zheng Zhinan and Zhang Zhizhong arrived in Mandalay, he was still inspecting a large underground air defense center, and he conducted three drills on site, drilling and drilling in underground air defense shelters, and the whole man was gray.
"The governor of Tuozhong has worked hard. How is the situation in the city now?"
Zheng Zhinan admired this mandarin who was the most powerful leader of Southeast Asia, but he was fluent in Mandarin.
Tuozhong signaled to the staff after tea, and said simply, "The current situation in the city is very good. In terms of popular support, in accordance with our old habits, we mobilized to every street to unify publicity and understanding. At present, the mainstream of popular support is against the Allies. However, we do not require the people to stand on the ground and shout slogans to the Allied planes. They only require them to participate in some military industrial production in accordance with streets in peacetime, actively engage in military and civilian production during wartime, participate in logistics supply support, and be repaired , Care of the wounded, etc., in the face of an air raid, the fastest and orderly hiding in an underground air-raid shelter.
The people are still very supportive of the Big Six Central Government, all shouting to defend the newborn Southeast Asian provinces and surround Myanmar.
In wartime production, most of the military factories were moved into the mountains, and some simple detachable military workers were completed by the streets. In terms of war supplies, the 15 large-scale supplies centers currently built in the early years have been able to provide supplies for 24 hours, which can support our military's existing military forces for at least two months of high-intensity combat. Follow-up can only rely on self-production and the central government to allocate supplies.
Allied air strikes were launched at dawn yesterday. The Radar Center reported multiple Allied fighter jets and 15 bombers invading Chin State, and air scramble operations have begun.
Now, the rear areas such as Mandalay are still very safe. However, we have mobilized militia organizations in various places to strictly prevent the infiltration of enemy forces. When necessary, we can destroy small enemy reconnaissance and infiltration units in the form of small groups of guerrillas ... "
Most of the introductions by Tuozhong are the ones taught by the big 6 central government. The first is to mobilize the people and unify their understanding so that the people have a sense of belonging to the newly established provincial government. Secondly, on the basis of Myanmar's existing military, industrial and civilian industries, wartime production was actively launched to supplement 13 large-scale supply centers.
Of course, the most important point is to mobilize the people, form well-trained, at least moderately equipped militia units, and standardize the guerrillas.
Zhang Shusheng knows very well that in the history of Vietnam and the Americans, the Americans suffered the most from the Vietnam War. Tropical and jungle-shaped Myanmar also has this kind of universal warfare potential. Of course, he also does not want to increase the casualties of the people in Myanmar. After all, the so-called guerrillas are often an embarrassing complement to the lack of regular forces. But what he wanted to do was to use a well-trained militia to supplement the powerful regular army. In this way, not only a large number of Myanmar militarized troops have been trained, but also the people's ability to protect themselves can be strengthened. More often, the fundamental tasks of these militia organizations are to provide regular forces with enemy intelligence, reverse infiltration, and assist the main forces in combat.
"The situation is also very urgent. Judging from the latest fighting situation, the Chin and Rakhine states bordering East India, Bangladesh, and the local Southeast Asian provinces have already engaged in an exchange of fire with the Allies. Governor Taku, now on the front line The army was once a 33 division under your control, how long do you think they can resist. Of course, I have ordered the 126 division to assist them with the fastest line of fire. "
Zhang Zhizhong is in charge of the direction of Chin State. Chief Zheng Zhinan commanded the relatives. The main combat direction of the 9th Army was Chin State, the border between Chin State and Rakhine State. This area is also directly opposite Bangladesh and is the main attack direction of the Allies. Zhang Zhizhong not only ordered the 126 Division's fire line under his jurisdiction to assist the Wendu area in Chin State, but also took the first battalion of the 126th Division's first regiment to Wendu by air. Wen Duo is the Allied Forces, and the small units of the Allied Forces have crossed the India-Myanmar border.
Tuozhong naturally understands his own army. "Although I trust them, frankly, I don't know how long they can resist. There are too many allies. The 33 Division is just a 10,000 ordinary Division, Wendu ’s brigade has only a lot of people, and it is very difficult to defend. There is a telephone to Wendu, which leads directly to the brigade Ling, please commander Zhang.
Tuozhong was not responsible for commanding the military forces of Southeast Asian provinces. Since then, he has focused on government affairs, and he has given Zhang Zhizhong the opportunity to make phone calls.
"Hey, I'm 2 Brigade."
The phone went through, not only the noise was strong, but also the sound of cannons.
Zhang Zhizhong naturally did not delay. He said directly, "Comrade Ling, I am the commander of the Ninth Army, Zhang Zhizhong. How is the situation on the front line?"
At the other end of the phone, after a moment's stun, he immediately replied: "Commander Zhang, we are still at the position and have just repelled a small-scale tentative attack by the Allied Forces, about the Indian Army of a battalion. Now they are here."
Zhang Zhizhong asked: "Comrade Ling, in the face of superior enemies, we cannot eat in one bite. Remember to act in accordance with the original plan."
"Yes, comrade Commander, please rest assured that we will resolutely implement the orders of the Frontier Command."
...
Ling just dropped the phone and was interrupted by a shout.
"Reports, the Allies started to attack again, and there was about one regiment of Indian troops."
The correspondent shouted.
Ling Mo remembered the outline of the entire army's operations in Myanmar under the Frontier Army, and the 33rd Division's order was also to retreat into the jungle, wait for the opportunity to annihilate the enemy, delay the Allied operations, and wait for the follow-up National Defense Forces to catch up.
Speaking of the allies opposite, Ling was not afraid, because there were many Burmese men under him.
The 33rd Division is not an ordinary Burmese division, but one of the Burmese divisions adapted to the jungle field division. The 33rd Division and other divisions have a common feature. In the early days of the establishment of the army, the backbone of the army was the Chinese and the Burmese among their closest relatives. They all had high cultural knowledge and received specialized militarized education and training, especially for the jungle. The battle was very good.
Moreover, the 33rd Division, like other divisions, grew from a platoon, a company, to a division. All divisions were established step by step from the platoon leader, company commander, battalion commander, regiment commander, brigade commander, and commander. Get up. As a result, the army's combat style is particularly sturdy, and it is not afraid of death. In the many years of fighting with the Allies, the snowballs have become bigger and bigger, and they have become more sturdy. Although there is a tendency to be small-headed, it does not hinder the overall situation, but instead guarantees a very strong combat effectiveness.
Weapons and equipment are also good, at least better than the Indian army on the opposite side, and not worse than the US army. The worse is the life enjoyment. For example, the Burmese army will not enjoy the battlefield luxury products such as cola and gum on the front line, but when it comes to hands Chinese rifles, semi-automatic rifles, machine guns, infantry cannons, mortars, anti-tank rocket launchers and flat artillery, and even some weird special equipment. As one of the Burmese elite divisions, the 33 division may be stronger than the Allies . With large-caliber artillery directly under the division, mountain tanks can also provide division-level offensive and defensive confrontation at critical moments.
In general, the Burmese jungle field divisions that are divided into divisions are mainly based on mountain warfare, sports warfare, and jungle ambush warfare, but they are integrated into the division level, and they can conduct frontal offensive and defensive warfare. It is called the type of unit that can stop and fight, run after running, and drill into the forest into the forest.
For example, the division of the 33rd Division is a mountain tank battalion and a 5mm wild artillery regiment, stationed more than 20 kilometers behind Wenduo, waiting for the opportunity.
Therefore, although Ling knows that there will only be more and more allies on the opposite side, he is not afraid. He has his elite reconnaissance team on the flanks. As long as he is not to be copied by the allies, after he has won two small battles, Absolute time will retreat the night into the jungle.
"Hit, don't hit how to anger them." This is Ling's idea.
The position of Ling 2 Brigade was built on the mountain. The mountain is not high, but dense, similar to the shallow hilly terrain of his hometown of western Sichuan.
There are many hills, and the vision is wide. It is not convenient for the enemy ’s large army to deploy, but it is precisely the bones here. If the Burmese brigade is not pulled out, the Allied forces ’expansion in the frontal battlefield of Chin State will be greatly affected. influences.
The circuitous battle is more complicated, so when I learned that there was only one Burmese brigade on the opposite position, the order from the Allied Command was to make a big effort. An Indian division and a British regiment in the vanguard were responsible for winning. The time will be two days in the night. This is also the time for the breakthrough of several other Burmese military positions set by the Allies in Chin State.
"This brother San San is really crowded."
Ling held the telescope and couldn't help but sigh. In the lens, the mountains were full of Indian soldiers with turbans and heads. Assange's statement was passed down domestically. After Ling arrived in Myanmar, he always claimed to be Indian.
Just a few hundred Indian Asan brothers from a battalion had good equipment. They had guns and guns. They screamed for a long time, but were bombed by mortars here. They immediately lay there and hit machine guns, shelled, and could not survive. Already.
Later, Ling also blamed the heads of his men. They fired too early and scared the Indians away.
The frontal troops were 3 regiments. Ling personally entered the position and found the head of the 3 regiment Zhu Zhong.
"Brigadier, why are you here? It's too dangerous here." Zhu Zhong was watching the Indian army's attack, and saw Ling flutter to his side.
"What are you afraid of? It's dangerous here. The enemy's artillery can't be hit a few hundred meters behind." Ling took the binoculars handed over by the guards, looked at them, and said, "Don't fight early this time. ,listen to me."
From time to time, the cautious Indian army crawled across the mountain just like the sheep, and the Burmese army on the opposite side did not open fire, and the courage was a bit bolder. With the urging of British officials behind it, it began to prepare to climb the mountain.
"Boom ... boom ... boom ..."
At this time, the Allied artillery fired, and the target pointed directly at the hilltop position. It was estimated that there was an artillery battalion. The caliber of the artillery was not large. It was likely to be some mountain artillery and also mortars.
In the art of artillery bombardment, seeing that there was no fire on the ground, and seeing that it was less than a hundred meters away, the Indians began to stand up and start to charge.
When he saw the piece of white sè wrapped around his head, Ling raised his brigade commander with a gun, aimed at a nearest Indian soldier, and fired first: "hit!"
The three regiment thousand guns on the hill immediately rang, and the marksmanship of the Burmese soldiers was also very accurate. At least they were much stronger than the Indian soldiers in front of them, and they suddenly knocked down the hundred-thousand Indian Asan.
The Indian regiment has a large number of people. It seems to be a large regiment. At least some people were turned on by the violent firing on the hill, and turned a little dizzy. Then they were blasted by mortars and grenades that fell from the large curve. Dare to look up.
"Damn, these three are really cowardly. I just wanted to run when I started. The second American dad lost so much money to arm him. This time we organized a chargeback."
After all, the pistol had a limited range. After firing a few shots, killing one and injuring an Indian Asan, he took the gun and picked up the telescope to observe the situation. Such a person's firepower came down, and a group of Indians couldn't carry it, which made him feel a little unbelievable.
Although I heard that some European servants were in a state of pitfalls when they fought against the Soviets, and that the Indians were always not good at fighting. In the years of the British-Burmese war, they had never lacked Indian cannon fodder troops. The Indian Army during the British-Burmese War three years ago was even worse, and it was comparable to the garbage British and French troops on the European battlefield, the African battlefield, and the Middle East battlefield.
"Organize a chargeback." Ling Pai was afraid of the three commanders next to Zhu Zhong.
Soon, the assault was organized. The soldiers of the three regiments, tǐng, rushed out of the trenches with the old Chinese-style rifle in their hands, and the frontmost were a few assault rifles and semi-automatic rifles.
"kill!!!"
In Qingyi sè Chinese, the murderous shouting and killing sound rang through the whole mountain, then the night even passed the sound of guns.
The Indian regiment, who has not experienced such a battle at all, turned around and ran, and some rolled directly down the mountain. The whole multi-person regiment was like a duck fleeing the wild road.
Poor Indian big brothers, most of them are farmers who just put down their farm tools. They were hurriedly trained to play. They have never seen such lethal battles. When they heard the roar of the mountains, they turned and ran.
The combat effectiveness is really bad, even to the situation that made Ling feel terrible.
Ling was born in the old southwest of the National Defense Forces. He didn't have no idea about his initial visit to Myanmar, but after training a perverted Myanmar Army, he actually felt a sense of accomplishment, and even looked down on the Indian cannon fodder army. Obviously, the quality of the Indian army has fallen again due to the large expansion.
On the one hand, he reported the situation of the front line of Wenduo to the rear. He didn't consider the strategic retreat until he learned that the defensive air battalion had arrived at a field airport less than kilometers away from Wenduo. The mission of that battalion was to support Wen Duo, not to support the position, and even in accordance with the latest communication between Ling and the rear, the command of the command was to lead the Allies into the jungle, giving the Allies an appetizer since the beginning of the Myanmar War. .
So the whole day of fighting, until it was dark, the Indians eventually used almost the entire division and failed to break through.
One person's Indian division, one night, did not even win a hilltop position of the second brigade of Myanmar's 33rd division. Instead, many people were destroyed and thousands of prisoners were captured. The captives were escorted to the rear overnight, and immediately joined the labor camp. It was strange to say that along the way, the captives who were not particularly rigorous in care of the way, none of them tried to escape.
Early the next morning, the Allied attack began.
"Well, this time, India's Asan, the combat effectiveness seems to be much stronger."
Rubbing some blood-red eyes, Ling heard from the sound of the gun. At least this morning, the Indians fired more guns, and there were significantly more bullets in the circle. Mortars can even be good. Hit rate.
"It turned out the Brit was on the battlefield."
Sure enough, behind the three Indian soldiers, followed by the British regiment, the British masters, like the warrior clan, urged them. The Indians, like the recruits, actually started to bend down and charged with cats.
Even a stupid person who suffered a big loss yesterday and shot a few Indian officers and some deserted soldiers by British and American officers understood the orders and remembered those learned during training.
Recruit eggs that have not been on the battlefield finally have some soldiers.
"Hit ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Don't fight too hard, give the English guy a face."
Ling received the information. The allies opposite were no longer an Indian division and a British regiment, but a small disabled Indian division and a British division, as well as an American regiment. It was only one night and the Allies were fast.
He knew that if he wanted to fish, today would be the best opportunity, and if he did n’t leave the position, he would have to suffer. The jungle is the best place for the 2 brigades to solve the enemy.
After stopping and stopping, after the British regiment was repelled, the Allied forces finally tried to fend off from the flanks and were beaten back by Ling's regiment, but the signs of the Allied forces using their superior forces to clear up were clear.
"Brigadier, the British division moved, and has passed through Lin No. 3 and besieged us."
It was not until Ling received the latest jungle reconnaissance report that he ordered the retreat. The Englishman's division managed to catch it out. When he acted alone, he would entertain him.
The British think that the Indians are useless and go to the battle to pack up their own trip, then they can't live up to the expectations of the British and let them suffer a big loss. a.
