Chapter 353: The jungle war in Myanmar (4): The dense forest annihilates the British army
At about 3 pm, the 162 Division of the National Defense Forces finally arrived in Weilang County. The division commander Qi Xueqi personally directed the troops to enter the dense forest for deployment. According to the latest information received, there was no change in the jungle siege. The 2 brigade still hung the British army dead.
"Where has the British army arrived?"
Qi Xueqi checked the topography of the dense forest and the nearby mountains to hand over the troops to ambush to the three commanders. The four battalions are arranged in fan-shaped pockets, and the bottom of the pockets are two battalions. The remaining three regiments serve as the general reserve and are used when the situation changes.
Although Qi Xueqi's division is not yet equipped to compete with the ace division of the 19th Army, which is now assembled near Mandalay, he has also changed the dress for xìng grounds. On the basis of combat effectiveness, Qi Xueqi has been fighting in Myanmar for two years. I think it is better than the d division and the division of the 19th Army that has just entered Myanmar. It is because Xue Yue ’s 2nd Army has two divisions that can compete with Qi Xueqi, the 162th Division.
The correspondent had just set up the communication equipment, and soon contacted the division of the d33 division. As soon as the correspondent asked a few words, he stood up and ran to Qi Xueqi, and said carefully, "Master, Liu Shuren said he wanted you. Go talk. "
"Hey, this willow scar."
There is a birthmark on the back of the willow tree. Qi Xueqi called him a willow scar. Of course, this is also because the willow tree called him cross-eyed. Both were born with small problems, but they were laughed at each other. For ten years.
"Hey, I'm Qi Xueqi. I said Liu Zizi, are you ready on the other side? Our pockets are set up, but don't end up, you guys have gotten out of the sheep. I told you that you want to be true Laxie, I personally called the old principal to sue you. "
Qi Xueqi laughed loudly. Seriously speaking, the two of them are the kind of age-old loss friends, and they are almost excellent. They are the most needle-pointed to Mai Mang in the same class, but no one knows that the two have a period of time. Life friendship, but that was a matter of fleeing the desert, it is said to be related to a piece of dried bread divided into two petals.
"You put a hundred hearts, I'm afraid that your cross-eyes are not good enough, let the English devil go, hahaha ..." On the radio side, the willow tree couldn't help laughing and refused to give in.
The two refused to give up to each other, and didn't say much. They said a few words about the fishing situation of d33 Division 2 Brigade, and then hung up.
In fact, Liu Shuren's resident was less than five kilometers away from Qi Xueqi, and he was about to enter the siege position. From a azimuth perspective, after Ling's 2nd brigade hung the British division into the ambush circle, the main force of the d33 division was set on fire from behind the butt, and eventually the British The army rushed into the ambush circle, and together with the main force of the 162 division, gathered the strength of the two divisions in this pre-ambush jungle to properly clean up the British division that had been greeted by greed.
Teams of soldiers, with various branches on their bodies, even camouflage firearms, mortars, and infantry cannons, were hurrying to ambush the night.
Simple infantry artillery does not even need a position. Push it into the woods, insert some branches, and it will not be abnormal until you walk a few meters.
The engineering unit was also not idle, and with the help of two company soldiers, an explosive package was being laid. These explosive packs arranged in a circle will be detonated 6 times after the British army enters this large siege circle, like firing guns to catch sheep.
This kind of jungle ambush training with brigades or divisions as a unit is familiar. Most of these original Burmese soldiers are mountain people. After modern military training, combined with their early survival instincts, in the jungle It's almost like a tiger.
There is no shortage of training, command, equipment, combat will, and fighters, waiting for British devils to catch up.
"Master, you listen, the sound of a Chinese gun."
Ten minutes later, a low gunshot came from the dense forest two or three kilometers away. Obviously, the second brigade was almost there.
"Hurry up and prepare for the fight by night. No fire will be allowed without my order. Offenders will be disposed of by military law."
The Willows watched nervously. Except for a few teams laying explosives, the other troops were already in an ambush. They looked up at the top of the dense forest. This forest is typically dense on both sides and sparse in the middle. The terrain clipped by the Dao Ridge is dominated by shrubs, but the dense forest on both sides is very high. When you look up, you can see big trees that are more than ten meters high. In some places, the leaves are dense or even airtight.
He clenched his fists tightly. This boy, Dao Lingling, had made a great contribution this time, but he really caught the British all the way to the ambush.
The dense forest is different from flat ground. The distance of two or three kilometers may be only the distance of two hills, but it is really necessary to go down. Counting the time of the firefighting will be night. There is no half an hour to walk.
Grabbing the telescope, the willow man followed the direction of the bird being frightened, and found the approximate position of the 2nd brigade. It was indeed less than 3 kilometers away from the mountain, just across the hill.
"Inform Chief Qi Xueqi of the 162 Division. The 2nd Brigade is 2 kilometers away from the pocket. The enemy is expected to arrive in minutes. In addition, contact the 2nd Brigade and tell him that we are ready."
Two well-trained mountain divisions soon laid out an ambush and opened their pockets to guard the rabbit.
...
At the same time, the 2nd Brigade was running wildly in the dense forest, carrying the injured and shot comrades with great strength, constantly searching for a place to hide, only to search and rescue after the siege was over, and the capable force was behind Continue to attract Britons. There were still some casualties in the army. After all, the British chaser had a lot of people. Even stray bullets could occasionally hit. After all, the two sides were less than meters in recent times.
"Report to the brigadier, the division informed us that the siege was ambush, only to wait for us to rush in with the British."
The telegrapher is a small Burmese. According to himself, he worked in a small emerald quarry before serving as a soldier, learned some knowledge from foreign engineers in the quarry, and actually caught up with the telegrapher after entering the army for a second education. The technology is still second, the key is that the kid moves quickly, runs faster than anyone with a radio, and can always get the temporary communication position right at night.
Ling couldn't help but cut a wound near An's mouth and was cut by the thorns and vines.
"Order the troops to enter the encirclement, sprinkle some more Indian blood, rocket launchers, mortars and fire me a few more shots."
Seeing that it was near the mouth of the bag, he naturally did not want to lose ground.
Grabbed the bazooka on the shoulder of the soldier next to him, Ling aimed at the jungle behind him, pulled the trigger without thinking, a rocket flew into the dense forest with a long tail flame.
Another dozen rocket launchers also fired the final rockets.
This maximum range has reached meters, and the effective range of the fire dragon rocket launcher is much better than the US military's Bazuka and the German iron fist.
The rocket flew crookedly into the dense forest, which did not cause any results, but once again angered the already exhausted British army.
With the mortars of the 2nd Brigade, the final shells were also fired. The soldiers also raised their guns and fired a random volley.
"Throw away some guns and mortars, bazookas, and rush forward with all your energy !!!"
Ling shouted, and gave the final sprint command.
The British army behind them seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood. It was already exhausted, but after being stabbed by this intensive gunfire, at least Major General Brown jumped up.
"God, these Burmese monkeys have no physical strength. It seems that they are almost out of motion, order, and charge with full force."
General Brown's journey has been mixed. Fortunately, I ran all the way down to Weilang, only a step away from the Qinman Highway.
The Indian garbage divisions did not take down the position. One division not only won the squadrons and jumped all the way, it even took advantage of Wendu. Seeing that Wei Lang was about to be occupied, this was a great achievement. That is to allow the Supreme Commander of the Theater, General Clark, to personally report the awards and use the excuse to promote himself on the battlefield.
The worries are that this way, the Royal Infantry Division, which has more than 15,000 people, lost a lot. The combat loss was too high, and the non-combat loss was actually many. Of course, this non-combatant should accurately say that thousands of people have fallen behind.
Running all the way, General Brown ’s 17th Infantry Division not only lost almost all of its heavy equipment, but also thousands of living people. The jungle was easy to mí Road, some British troops were Mí Road, and some were I left behind after bumping.
General Brown's own military cap was lost, his head was white, blood stains on his face, he was wiped by bullets, and he was cut several times by thatch and thorn vines. The whole man was gray-faced, and a spider was just méng. network.
So, when the stubborn squadron, who came from a well-known door and possessed the title of Baron Nobleman, continuously discarded guns and bazookas, even mortars, and continuously showed a lot of blood, he concluded that the squadron could not hold on for long. Panicking, they were chased by the brave British team.
He believes that as long as he is quicker and persists for another hour, he will be able to occupy Wayland and control the Chinman Highway before other squadrons support it.
And Major General Brown, who may soon be Lieutenant General Brown, a leading soldier, led the brave Royal Infantry Division in the jungle to track the squadron for most of the day, and finally wiped out this shameless squadron, in stark contrast to the cannon fodder Indian army.
"Damn Burmese jungle, I swear never to come to Asia after the war. There are too many woods here."
As a result, the British teams, who were all dirty and walked messily, had never had such a complicated and difficult pursuit in the jungle. They started the last fighting spirit of the whole body and chased wildly.
"Fuck, it's finally here !!"
Ling and the 2 brigades led many people to run down in the jungle chase that led sheep into xué. They also reduced the number of people, some were wounded and killed, and some were left behind. After all, Liangzhu is different. He can't require every soldier to be like a celestial soldier. Most people can complete the task to be successful.
"Hurry, hurry, brothers, run quickly, the British will arrive immediately. After the mountain pass in front, we can sit on the hill with tea and dry food to watch the show."
It is no longer possible for the British to turn around, and it is even more impossible to trace the ambush in the jungle. It is obvious that the 2nd brigade ran down for a while. The British must find the 2nd brigade as long as they do not give up chasing. Not too far away, the 2nd brigade has been deliberately letting the British bite it, and only some distance was opened until the last moment.
In the next battle, the 2nd Brigade did not need to participate anymore, and they ran dozens of kilometers of mountain and forest road for several hours.
"Master, Ling's 2nd brigade passed the cloth bag mouth smoothly."
"Put a banner and let them pass quickly. In addition, prepare the ministries to fight, and when the British get in their pockets, we will tie our mouths and give me a full punch into my pockets."
Willow waved his hand and ordered the final preparations.
In the telescope, the nearest British soldier is less than a meter away. Behind a bush of fern grass, he saw an British soldier wearing a grass-green military uniform, jumping on a stone and looking around. The marching bag on his body almost dragged him down. It seems that the British army's physical strength Expensive.
Immediately after that, a series of British troops ran from the jungle into the gap corridor between the ridges.
Although the tens of thousands of British troops were struggling, it took twenty minutes to fully enter the ambush circle.
The dense forest about a kilometer ahead will be their burial place.
"Master, the 162 division's blocking position has opened fire."
You don't need to listen to the report, the willow can hear the dense gunfire coming from the front. The existence of the blocking positions is actually to give the British army a time to gather and not let them be too scattered.
Sure enough, until the last batch of British troops rushed into the ambush circle, there were only a few scattered British troops behind.
"General Brown, we were severely blocked by the Chinese! The enemy has about one battalion."
General Brown led the team in person, naturally it was the first time that the night was blocked by fire resistance.
"Shoot, shoot, they are the last struggle. The 1st Battalion, 1st Battalion attacked from the left wing, 2 Battalion attacked from the right wing, frontal fire containment, we want to break through soon!"
General Brown waved the pistol in his hand and opened fire on the ridge of the hill. Under his command, the British army organized how quickly to break through.
The masters on both sides were behind the position, and the encirclements of the left and right wings were already ready, waiting for Qi Xueqi to order.
"Master, d33 reports that it is time to close."
After receiving the report, Qi Xueqi looked at the stance of the British army. It was indeed the end of a strong crossbow. The two elite divisions of himself and the Willow Man need only show the momentum of the tigers going down the mountain, and it will not be difficult to eliminate them.
"Signal, the general offense begins!"
Qi Xueqi waved his hand and ordered, he was very clear that at this time, the British army had a problem walking even the march, and the combat effectiveness was just when it was the lowest.
‘噗 ~’
One or three signal flare fluttered into the air, and finally exploded.
"Blaster!"
"Tick Tick Tick ..."
"Rush!"
In the bright sound of the charge, two brigades of the d33 division, like the tigers in the mountains, rushed into the pockets of the ambush circle. The nearby explosives were also detonated. The mounted infantry and mortars were also calculated according to the previous calculations. And start shooting.
boom! !! ...
In the explosion, the British army was beaten inexplicably. The guns rang in front, but the roar of the sky was heard behind them. Although the British are very unaccustomed to the prestigious fighting method of the Chinese, they now have to be nervous and surrounded by the Chinese.
The sound of gunfire and the blast of dense surrounding sounds made Major General Brown a difficult decision.
"Charge, charge forward, occupy the highlands, and we clean up the squadrons behind them. There must not be a lot of them !!"
At the same time, Qi Xueqi of the 162 division also ordered the charge of the charge.
Suddenly, in the dense forest with a radius of more than one kilometer, all the squadrons yelled and killed. In the Chinese, the roar of the front direction should be rounded, the Chinese sound is more standard, and the Chinese sound of the d33 division Although equally rigid, it is a bit jerky.
But it doesn't matter, the troops of the two divisions began to clear the sheep that had entered the ambush.
The soldiers of the two divisions rushed into the British army as if the tigers were going down the mountain. The close-range fire was completely dominated by submachine guns and pistols. The dense forest was not open, and there were many trees. Artillery shells and remote-control / remote-control bombs continued to explode, and the British army suffered heavy losses before returning to the night.
Compared to automated weapons, although the 17th Division of the British Army can be regarded as the elite of the British Army, it is still not as good as the 162 Division and the level of automated weapons of the D33 Division.
The close-range automated weapon showed its prestige, and then was rushed forward by the squadron. The British army who had never encountered a white-bladed battle. Where did they have the courage to fight the bayonet? ~ Have chosen to surrender.
After all, in the British and American military systems, once surrounded, combat missions cannot be completed, and they can surrender by default.
From beginning to end, Lingdu held a telescope in one hand and a dry grain in one hand, and from time to time raised a kettle to drink two sips of water, sitting on a hill and watching the captive British army below.
"This 17th British Royal Infantry Division, a dry duck just transferred from India, didn't even understand what the jungle war was, and wanted to attack and advance. I really don't know how to write the dead words."
Ling Haha laughed, and seemed to see that the post was closer to him. Anyway, he had made a contribution again. According to the National Defense Army's combat performance points system, the two brigades had to make contributions from top to bottom.
The battle did not end completely until the evening. Cleaning the battlefield was a very difficult task. Except for nearly 2,000 British troops running away in chaos or having no time to enter the ambush circle to escape a robbery, the entire British division was nearly destroyed. Ten thousand British troops became captives below General Brown, and were wounded and wounded. Countless other firearms were seized, and ammunition was very small. This battle ended early when the British army was exhausted. The d33 and 162 divisions organized evacuation of prisoners of war while organizing defense in Weilang County. This time, it will no longer be a jungle war. Wellang will still have to defend the battle. a.
