Chapter 352 Burma's Jungle Battle "Three": The Jungle Pains the Battle of the British Army
After the Battle of Burma was first launched in the frontal battlefield between Chin State and Burma and India, Zhang Shusheng saw the mighty fighting power of the former Myanmar People's Army jungle field division.
"A group of sheep. If a lion leads a team, then even if they encounter a group of wolves, they can burst out like mountains and rivers."
This is Zhang Shusheng's evaluation of the initial war born in Chin State, Myanmar.
The Burmese People's Army is almost a complete set of the National Defense Army training system as a textbook. It is a modern army with advanced military equipment trained by the National Defense Army's outstanding military instructors.
For example, the former Mandalay Military Academy is actually just a military academy preparatory base, where military students study further Chinese and military studies before they can enter the Southwest Military Academy Ruili Branch of Ruili to learn modern military courses.
It can be said that even in the initial and most difficult stage of the Burmese People's Government led by Tuozhong, Zhang Shusheng did not hesitate to invest in the building of Myanmar's military power, under various banner including support, and advanced 20 years in advance. Myanmar has begun military modernization.
He was determined to expand his loyalty in Southeast Asia, train a loyal and reliable army in Southeast Asia, have outstanding combat skills, and have a strong combat against xìng troops.
China has no more subordinate nations, and has visited the neighboring countries several times. Only Southeast Asia can become China's second military base. Although the population of the big 6 natives is large, it also needs some excellent subordinates.
"Chairman, now allies in northern Burma and India borders also appear, but they are not as powerful as the allies in the direction of Chin and Rakhine states. In addition, the direction of Yangon, which was occupied by the allies, On a larger scale, there were at least two divisions and more supplies there, and several coalition divisions there have been able to ensure that Yangon, which is near the sea from the south of Myanmar, will be able to contain the offensive.
In Chin State, there is a highway leading to Mandalay. Like the scheduled Chinman highway defense battle, the initial offensive goal of the Allied forces should be to win this road and directly reach Mandalay. "
Su Yuren took a cup and sipped, and suspended his commentary.
In the hand of Zhang Shusheng, tap the simulation of the topographical sand table in Myanmar. In Chin State, there are already many black arrows representing the Allied forces, and correspondingly, the number of red arrows representing the National Defense Force is also quite large.
"Well, Chin State will be the most important point of contention in the first phase of the battle in Myanmar. We worked hard to build the highway. They did well and wanted to go all the way to Mandalay to subvert our newly established Southeast Asian provincial government. This is delusional. "
The painful memory of the British in Myanmar was very profound. The Burmese People ’s Army drove all the way from south to south, and then encountered people in the jungle, winning more and losing less, eating the big losses in the jungle and hills. At that time, the two British British and French hegemonies in Southeast Asia and the supreme colonial status, now one has become a Nazi servant, and the other has to exchange Indians to actively participate in the war on the condition that India is allowed to independence after the war.
High-quality strategic highways are naturally what the British and even the Allies need most.
In preparation for this, in addition to the 9th Army of Zhang Zhizhong ’s movement to the Chin State-Rakhine State Theater, a new 28th Army composed of Myanmar ’s elite jungle field divisions was also deployed. The 19th Army is an elite army in mountain jungle warfare commanded by Lieutenant General Wang Jun, who will soon be assembled. The 19th Army, which is being continuously transferred from the homeland, will deal with the possible attack by the Japanese in the direction of Thailand. At present, the deployment of the troops is not yet in place. The Thai and Southeast Asian provinces commanded by Guro are in charge of defense. For the time being, the 19th The existing forces of the group army exist as reserve mobile units.
Su Yuren smiled and said, "Let's take a look at how much this plan of attracting wolves into the forest can achieve."
The original Burmese 33 Division 2 brigade was preparing to penetrate the enemy. While seeking support, it was ready to hunt down the enemy in the jungle. The plan has arrived at the base camp. For this plan, Zhang Shusheng is also very supportive, and the British may be frightened. In addition, the mountains and the wild fields ran away like sheep, but when the fight was over, the first victory was just around the corner.
According to the reorganization plan, the jungle field division in Myanmar will uniformly add a letter d as a prefix, which symbolizes the provinces of Southeast Asia, and distinguishes whether it is elite or not, that is, the 33 division will become the d33 division. The ordinary Southeast Asian provinces are db divisions.
Zhang Shusheng was also looking forward to this battle. After all, he was not played by the National Defense Force himself, but by the Division D. He was somewhat uneasy, so he waited and watched the changes. According to his orders, Major General Qi Xueqi's 162 Division of the 9th Army under the command of Zhang Zhizhong will participate in the dense forest encirclement.
...
Inmabin, which is more than a kilometer away from Wenduo, is driving a large number of convoys on the Chinman Highway. The main force of the 162 Division of the 9th Army of the National Defense Forces is urgently supporting Chin State. This is not far from Chin State. With the average degree of the team, it can be reached in an hour or two without considering the seriousness.
A jeep stopped slowly and a Wehrmacht stepped out of the car.
"Wang Staff, how far is it from Weilang County?"
The task of Division 162 was to garrison in Weilang County, which was less than kilometers away from Wenduo, which means that it was only kilometers away from Division d33.
In this plan of the U-an British Royal 17th Infantry Division, Wendo was only an enemy of U. The real u-an battlefield was in Weilang County, kilometers behind him. There are many mountains in Weilang County, and troops march through mountains and rivers. The most important thing is that it is still in the Chin State of the Chinman Highway.
The next staff member calculated it slightly, confirmed the position, and said, "Master, we have just arrived in Inmabin, and there are kilometers from Wendu and kilometers from Weilang County."
"Well, keep the order down, speed up, the heavy troops can catch up slowly. In addition, order to reach the battalion of Wendu in advance and let them join the 2nd brigade of the d33 division to help them strengthen their strength."
Qi Xueqi looked at the road map handed over by Staff Staff Wang. The heart road kilometer was just over an hour and it was still not easy to go by the Chinman Highway. If it was domestic, it might take less than an hour.
As the first division-built unit in the 9th Army, Qi Xueqi had considerable ambitions, and how to fight this first battle and give the British a gift to the Republic, which had just added a new area, was his thinking. center.
At the same time, Wenduo's jungle.
In the jungle, a group of soldiers in grass green military uniforms were retreating towards the rear under the path of a machete.
Looking up at the sky between the treetops above his head, he looked at his watch again. It was now more than one noon, the sun was a bit big, and the dense forest was very hot.
"Dididi ..."
The individual soldier rang, and the two signal soldiers quickly manipulated the radio station. After a short snoring, the signal soldier dropped his headset and reported to Ling, "Brigade commander, commander Liu."
This one-man radio is a good commodity. In China, it is also the standard communication equipment of the National Defense Forces. It performs very well in short- and medium-range communications, especially in the face of complex terrain like Myanmar.
"Master, I'm Ling."
On the other end of the phone, a strong man's voice came. It was the d33 division commander, the former southwestern officer, and the willow man.
"Ah, don't run too fast for your troops. Just now the division has already packed up two other small Indian troops. Now the British division of the Allies has chased you crazy, don't be caught up. Don't lose them, either. I will punish you. "
The willow man's voice was filled with a kind of smoothness after the battle. Just now, two inexplicably small Indian units that ran to Wenduo got into the main defense line of the d33 division and were easily cleaned up. According to the return of the scout At present, only 2 brigades are followed by a large ticket of British troops.
The defeat on the hilltop position, a division plus a British legion did not win the position, completely angry with the Allies, according to the latest information, the British Royal 17th Infantry Division, led by division commander Brown, rushed to the 2nd brigade.
It is said that General Clark, at the Allied Indian-Myanmar Battlefield Headquarters in Chittagong, personally telephoned the unfavourable British Royal 17th Infantry Division, and ordered Brown to personally follow up this abominable squadron.
Although the other party is only the former Burmese army, since Myanmar claims to be a referendum to join the Chinese government, he has also unified them as a squadron.
As soon as Ling heard it, he immediately packed the ticket and said, "Master, you have ten thousand hearts. I'm fishing here and dragging them to run. They are running slowly, and I will go back and disturb them. Regarding the jungle march, where did they chase them? Come on us. "
"Well, don't take care, don't let Qi Xueqi of the 162 Division read the joke. This bastard, when he was at the Huaxia Military Academy, he and Lao Tzu were against Taiwan and refused to give in. This time, we will let They take a good look at our fists. "On the other side of the phone, there was a laughing laugh from Liu Shuren. Qi Xueqi was his old classmate, but they were two bad-tempered people. Deal with.
"Relax, Master, if this is not to wipe out the British devils, I also oppose having the 162 Division come up to share the credit, haha." Ling is very clear about Liu Shuren and Qi Xueqi's trivial fighting history. People are two late, one year late. I heard that he was mentioned as a division commander. The division commander was not good enough to be transferred to the Southeast Asian provinces. Ling also took a sigh of relief and wanted to open the door, both to serve the country and to promote himself as a division commander. More help.
Fighting is not about personal welfare, and personal gains and losses are second, but rising higher can command more troops. This is Ling's idea.
"Okay, you take care of it. Once you're done, your kid's road will be smoother, but don't pull the thin string."
After the call, Ling couldn't rest assured that the fishing camp behind him took the guard personally to the back to observe the situation. The 2 battalions and 3 battalions were firing at the British army on a hill, and the mines blew from time to time, and the British stepped on welfare again.
"Brigadier, you still run ahead, we have no problem."
The 3 battalion commander was a Burmese. During the promotion of Chinese surnames in his early years, he gave himself a Chinese name, Ran Jianguo.
Ran Jianguo held a 35-year-old assault rifle, which is much lighter than a Chinese automatic rifle. The cargo of the shooter's ammunition is relatively fierce at close range, and it performs well in the jungle.
In order to attract the British army, the 3 battalion concentrated a lot of semi-automatic weapons and automatic weapons. Many powerful soldiers even mentioned the ripper-type light machine gun. Once the British chased slowly, it was a fierce fire.
This effect is very good, even if you know that the road ahead is not safe, but still rely on many people, chasing aggressively. They are not afraid that the squadron is a strategic retreat, and it is best to be able to directly occupy the Chinman Highway in Wayland County.
After Ling and Ran Jianguo spoke, the British fired again with mortar. With a wave of Ran Jianguo's hand, he took the lead in the direction of the British and swept the shuttle, and the whole battalion began to run again.
As long as the British dare to chase, they will not mí road, a jungle traveled by, as long as it is not blind people can find a way to chase. Ling glanced back and did not need a telescope. The recent British army has even arrived outside Mikai, and it is time to run.
Here the squadron was playing and fishing while the British were overjoyed.
"General Brown, we just had a fierce battle with the squadron, killing and wounding a dozen enemy forces."
The british division behind the 2 brigade was chasing after it, and put on a wild pursuit. The 17th Division Chief of the British 6th Infantry Division Brown was wearing a gray-green field uniform and went into battle.
Brown raised his binoculars and looked at the situation ahead. Of course, he saw the crossfire just now, but he had great doubts about the actual results. The reason was simple. After playing for a long time, there was no body of a squadron. He did not believe that his troops had no success at all, and was convinced that the squadron took away the dead soldiers. Therefore, he also acquiesced that his men began to report the results rashly.
"Keep pursuing."
When General Brown was old, his face was cut with mouths by thorns and vines, and he couldn't take care of it. General Clark's stern warnings made him understand that if he took the opportunity to destroy the Chinese brigade, or directly occupied Weilang, he would get an almost immediate promotion, but once he failed as a British Royal Infantry Division, he was waiting for himself. Dismissal.
"Now is the best time to destroy this Chinese brigade. The Chinese main force is still in the rear. As long as it can destroy this Chinese brigade or directly occupy Weilang to seize the highway, it will have a huge impact on the entire battle."
This is the original sentence of General Clark, and Brown agrees very well. The fighter jet is fleeting and he must grasp it.
Then, the resistance of General Clark's current squadron grew stronger.
"Bang ~"
A sudden gunshot blasted the head of a major staff officer about ten meters away from General Brown. The flesh and blood told the nearby British troops, especially the senior officers of the Royal 17th Infantry Division, who were close to Brown. For one thing, he may have been caught by snipers in the Chinese blocking forces.
"Be careful!"
As soon as General Brown lowered his head, he was pressed to the ground by the soldiers behind him. Coincidentally, General Brown was now less than a foot away from his nose. The soil was wet and had a strong smell.
"I !!!!"
General Brown instantly understood what he was trying to move away from, but was protected by the faithful soldier on his body. This is not just for the sake of making him more secure, the soldier on his body also grabbed General Brown's shoulder and fiercely Move hardly.
"!"
The self-proclaimed and honorable General Brown could not stand the anger anymore. No matter how dangerous he was, he pushed away the soldiers behind him, hiding behind a big tree next to him, and roaring loudly: "Speed ​​up, chase !!!"
So, along the way, General Brown witnessed the jungle's increasingly unscrupulous counterattack tactics in the jungle.
Snipers are lurking around. This squadron of Burmese is very good at climbing trees and hiding. They are wearing camouflage branches, or climbing trees, or hiding in the hairy fern grass, and they are constantly facing the British team behind. Fired a cold gun, and the British counterattacks mostly hit the woods indiscriminately.
Occasionally, there was a sound of machine guns and dense submachine guns, continuous firing sounds, and mortars. The British believed that this squadron had at least one human group. They will not only cover their brigade retreat, but also delay the British team's efforts to march toward Wayang. General Brown was convinced.
In Brown's eyes, the worst thing about this squadron is not cold guns, but ubiquitous traps.
The mines tied to the branches, the broadsword mines linked to the vines, the son-mother mines, and all kinds of landmines are mostly the broadsword mines. Although there are many trees in the jungle, one broad-sword mine at a time is enough for the nearby British troops to suffer heavy losses.
There are many other traps. Although some of the suggested trip traps don't look good, often after the British army falls, they will find their ng mouth position or even the abdomen, and they will be rightly stabbed with a knife, dagger or even Bamboo pegs, pierced by sharpened roots. There are many other traps. Some of the traps left by hunters have also been used by them to arrange various practical traps.
There are also some pitfalls that are inexplicable. For example, an inconspicuous grass vine was actually wrapped in a horse's honeycomb with a thin thread. As soon as a person touched it, a chicken fly jumped. That's not an ordinary mì bee ~ EbookFREE.me ~ but a real poison bee.
These little traps are very convenient to set up, but often very effective.
Chasing all the way down, one night in the morning, the British army lost more than a hundred combat and non-combatants, which made Brown angry and had no choice but to order to add again. He believes that the more the squadron obstructs its pursuit, the more afraid it will be to catch up.
He underestimated the capacity of the Chinman Highway, and underestimated the deployment of the squadron. When he reached Wenduo and continued to chase at Wayang, General Brown also believed that the Chinese were disrupted by his own powerful attack, and he himself As long as you catch up, you can seize this Chinese brigade, take a step back, and you can also occupy Weilang. In any case, as long as he pursues it, he can make a contribution.
"General, we seem to be catching up with the main force of the squadron."
When receiving the report, General Brown was overjoyed. It seemed that his time had come.
