Chapter 99: Under the island fight

"Squad leader, they are talking about fighting, but where this bird doesn't shit, don't you even see a rabbit?"
Ruili, Yunnan, Nongdao Town, Duzi Mountain Pass. Several soldiers wearing tree branches and wearing green camouflage military uniforms were lying behind thorn bushes, and looking down, they could see the border guard post on the island of China-Myanmar border that had just been established for six months.
The topography of the China-Myanmar border is much more complicated than that in the southwest. The continuous mountains, the large and small mountains that have continued from the Savage Mountains, have blocked the border between the two countries, and several main roads have become the garrison sites of the Southwest Army.
After receiving the first-level alert, all border guards, including the Nongdao Border Guard, have strengthened their guards. Each sentry card has been strictly guarded, and at least one platoon guard has been sent to assist in defense. After it was known exactly that Britain would launch an offensive against Southwest China from Myanmar, no one dared to put the hope of border guards on the checkpoints. Only when the army came forward could it be effective.
Behind the mountain at the island checkpoint is the second company garrison led by Dai Anlan.
Yu Cheng, a squad leader in two rows and three shifts, is a veteran of the reserve army. The reserve troops of that year are now the sergeant squad leader of the guard division. The Southwest Army's non-commissioned officer system consists of soldiers, corporal, sergeant, and sergeant.
Yu Cheng unconsciously reached for a handful of mud, smeared two more on his face, and whispered, "You are all settled. If you don't come, just forget it. In case you come, you'll hit it."
"Oh, squad leader, I just want to fight a few foreign devils, my hands are itchy." The soldiers who came from the reserve forces were talking, and like the reserve soldiers in the class, they were very wary, while the other former Yunnan Army The soldiers of the Gui Army were taciturn, and some mouths were still silent.
"Zhu Laoyu, what are you talking about?" Yu Cheng saw that Zhu Laoyu, who had been separated by two people, was talking to himself and asked in a low voice.
"Squad, squad leader, me, I have this old habit. It used to be like this when I was in the Dian Army. When I joined the army, my mother taught me. Saying that I read it, Niutou Mamen went around the road." It is the elderly of the Dian Army. Although it is only 20 years old, it is already a soldier with four or five years of military service, but he is very sincere.
"Be careful for me. If you come back to Dai Gang and find out, you will eat a board for Lao Tzu." Yu Cheng frightened a dozen subordinates, and then chewed a refreshing grass root and took out the company. The assigned binoculars stared at the sentry card below and the Myanmar village in the distance.
Yu Cheng's class has to be on the night shift. It's just late evening and it's still a long time. The checkpoint and the opposite Burmese village, until dark, nothing unusual happened.
With the haystack lying on the back of thorn bushes, the people on the third shift have fallen asleep. And it was Zhu Laojiu and another soldier who took the whistle.
"what?"
Zhu Laojiu was boring and silently chanting his life-saving tactics, but suddenly stopped, shouted to the recruits looking to his side, and looked up at the night sky above his head.
"One, two, three ... squad leader, squad leader, there is a situation !!!" Zhu Laoxi climbed over and gently woke Yu Cheng, and the vigilant Yu Cheng woke up as soon as he turned over, "It happened what's up?"
"Squad leader, six or seven birds flew over my head just now. I suspect someone has disturbed them in the woods opposite."
"Willn't it be a villager in Myanmar?" Yu Cheng came to the spirit, carefully discriminating. Looking ahead, the dark sky and the moon were hiding in the dark clouds, and the trees and villages across the road couldn't see clearly.
"No, this wild mountain and wild village, Myanmar villagers will not easily travel at night, so many night birds were frightened, someone must have entered the woods opposite." Zhu Laoyu analyzed according to his own experience Previously, when I was in the Dian Army, the condition was called a bitter, Zhu Laojiu from Orion who could survive in such an army, and his survival experience was very rich.
"Is it smuggled? I didn't see any troops entering the opposite village during the day. It shouldn't be the enemy's attack overnight. Is it the enemy's scout? But it's dark and you can't see anything ..." Yu Cheng Inadvertently seeing the lights of the sentry card, he suddenly understood, "Is the enemy at the reconnaissance post?"
Previously, the superior leaders issued the most stringent orders to remind the troops at all levels that the enemy may cross the China-Myanmar border at any time, so that the troops at all levels, especially the frontier guards, should be more vigilant.
"Zhu Laoyu, go, and take a look across from me." Yu Cheng finally decided to take an adventure once. With this mountain pass, he should be able to touch the woods on the opposite side.
...
"Major Carmen, the sentry card opposite is heavily guarded."
On the China-Myanmar border, opposite the island checkpoint, in the jungle of Myanmar, five or six British military officers are observing the striking checkpoint across the night.
At dark, a British Indian battalion arrived at this small Burmese village on the China-Myanmar border. Due to the terrain of the mountains and forests, the troops were not stationed at the north of the village at night, but rather at the lower part of the village, just hiding. At dusk, the Chinese reconnaissance's last reconnaissance.
As the commander of this Indian battalion, Major Carmen has always felt aggrieved. He is an outstanding graduate of the British Imperial Army Military Academy, but he has himself commanded such a mixed Indian battalion, leaving him full of dissatisfaction and trying to fight. Click on the results and leave early for promotion. As an outstanding military academy student, he was extremely arrogant. After studying many cases of World War I, he was pleasantly surprised to find that there were too many examples of actual combat in his first game. Any actual combat case can be chosen as the action plan for this time.
The goal is to break through the border defense of a lagging country. After mastering accurate information, he can break through the opponent at a lightning speed, then capture the other side of the border and wait for reinforcements to arrive.
In this way, he can dazzle and complete this advanced combat task.
Therefore, when he arrived at this small village leading to China in the evening, he did not settle in hastily. Instead, he chose a hidden place. After settling down, he took the night and brought his subordinates to scout. Because the intelligence gathering was very successful, he learned from the mouth of the locals that there was a border guard post guarded by five people.
"The vigilance is no more than a small five-person checkpoint card. We will easily break through it tomorrow morning. This time, the first punishment will be fired by the executioner."
Major Carmen, a top military student who was looking forward to the future, did not notice that there were two people lying on the ground carefully behind the big fir tree not far away.
Halfway, waiting for Carmen and others to go away, Yu Chengcai and Zhu Laojiao got up carefully, touched all the way, and the whole face was bleeding with thorns and vines.
"Squad, what do they say?"
"I don't understand ..." Yu Cheng was also very depressed. He had just read books and learned literacy in the army. Where did he know what the other side said, "Dare you touch it?"
"I'm fine, you are the monitor ..."
"You can do it, be careful, don't be caught by foreign devils!"
When the two managed to touch them along the edge of the village, they finally saw the British army camp below the depression. Although the lights were controlled, they were close enough to hear a sound of machines and the lights exposed in several tents.
"Oh, obediently, it looks like there are at least two companies!" Yu Cheng pursed his lips and said in Zhu Lao's ears, "Go, hurry back,

Early morning
Dai Anlan, who got the news overnight, reported to the third regiment of the Second Division of the Guardian Division urgently and gathered the entire company overnight. At midnight, he touched the mountain to dig the trenches.
The complex terrain here has always worried Dai Anlan, who was afraid of being attacked by the other party in the event of a battle. In this way, even if he could block the enemy, he would lose a lot.
Fortunately, the fine tradition of the Southwest Army, the military style has always been very rigorous, any order will be strictly implemented. The third team in the night shift, Yu Cheng, was able to find the enemy.
"Dig a little deeper here and have breakfast after you dug !!!"
"Sandbags here, put them back in place."
"The bunkers of the machine gun squad are hardened with hard rock, and the three bunkers should be arranged in a cross."
"The sharpshooter was scattered to the left and right of the mountain and concealed, waiting for orders."
"The mortar team first moved to the hill next to it and waited for orders."
When Dai Anlan watched the watch at six o'clock, he could see the faint smoke from the distance through the telescope. If it is normal, he may be treated as smoke in the mountains, but at this time, it is very likely that the enemy is Eat breakfast. Then there will be a fierce battle.
The enemy forces of a battalion are okay if they are the Burmese army, if the Indian army or even the British army. It ’s not the main company that he leads, and he does n’t have that much time to build positions. One company faces one battalion attack, which is quite difficult.
"The company commander, the enemy is here!"
An observer who climbed to the tree first found the enemy ’s tracks. The two armies were too close, and Dai Anlan could not even send a reconnaissance unit. Instead, the observer who climbed to the tree first spotted the dispatched. British army.
"Can you tell what army is the other party?" Dai Anlan stood under the tree and asked, raising his head in a low voice.
"I can't see clearly, I can only see the rice-shaped flag. It is expected that there will be ten minutes into the visual distance." The observer slipped down the tree and briefly stated his observations: "Company leader, the other party There is a cannon! "
"Cannon? What kind? Heavy caliber?" Dai Anlan dug deep.
"It is more like a 24-year-old infantry gun equipped by the main force. The number is about five." The observer said.
Dai Anlan nodded. It should be the opposing team's battalion-supporting firepower. Although the guards had not equipped the main force's 24-year-old infantry cannon, he had seen the thing. The power is not great, but the trajectory is very special, the shot is accurate, and the firing angle is more advantageous than the mortar. Since the infantry battalion on the opposite side has five mountain cannons, its own strength arrangement is correct.
Only one platoon of troops was placed on the forefront of the mountain, and the main force was placed behind it, which could be supported at any time, and it was prevented from being bombarded by British artillery.
With no personnel advantage and no firepower advantage, Dai Anlan didn't even dare to pin his hopes on the old Yunnan Army and Old Gui Army who had only undergone six months of training. This battle was too ridiculous.
As soon as eight o'clock arrived, the soldiers who were sleeping in the trenches were woken up. One ate several steamed buns and pickles and warm water to replenish his strength and was caught up in the fire.
Because within a few hundred meters of visual distance, you can already see the British forces playing the front line.
"Fuck, the devil is here !!"
There was a commotion among the soldiers at the position, and they could not see what the British army was like in the simple trenches dug in the night. However, these soldiers are not unfamiliar with the war, let alone the veterans of the Dian Army and the Gui Army. They came from the reserve forces and experienced combat. Everyone hastily checked the Huaxia-style rifles, bayonet, and grenade around him without the command of the chief. These are all life-saving killing weapons in the next battle.
"Brothers, the British devils are coming soon. They are not here to visit, they are here to burn and plunder. Think of Nanjing Road in Shanghai, think of Yuanmingyuan. Think of them shooting at defenseless students, think about this The repeated invasions of British devils over the past 100 years, the terrible crimes they committed are simply beyond description.
As soldiers, we have a responsibility to block them. For nothing else, just for the folks who are still transferring, just to be worthy of this soldier's conscience, and just to be worthy of his military concubine.
The ugly word is ahead, dragging on the enemy and completing the task, I will take you to drink and eat meat, even loot, and you can take the lead by then. However, if anyone escapes and violates the military order, Lao Tzu first beat him. "
No one doubted Dai Anlan's order. On the first day of his arrival in the company, he sent two old Dian Army who harmed his neighbors to Xitian. Although these words of entitlement were extremely simple, at this time, the two people in the army-the reserve elders and the Yunnan and Guangxi veterans-were extremely useful and each found their own reasons for fighting.
Of course, the Southwest Army ’s excellent treatment, full troop strength, and excellent pension policies all make these new recruits and veterans less worried. The Southwest Army ’s disability pension is not just a talk. Every unit, every account, has a special ceremony every year: a pension for disabled, veteran and veteran soldiers.
It was this company of the guardian division, and everyone wrote down their beneficiaries. According to their information, no matter who they give their future pensions to, the Southwest Army will pay in full and on time.
"How is the mine buried?" Dai Anlan asked Zhang of the engineering squad around him.
"Relax, company commander. More than a hundred serial anti-infantry broadsword mines have been buried long ago. As soon as they step on them, they keep a large piece of bomb."
Anti-infantry mines are relatively cheap, and they are also one of the better equipment that Dai Anlan can obtain. Infantry mines placed near the 300-meter line of fire will make their first roar at the invaders.
Dai Anlan nodded, and then ordered: "Order the first row, and immediately prepare for the battle. As soon as the mine rang, fire immediately."
The British army moved fast, and after passing through the woods, they came straight to the sentry card.
When it was found that there was no one inside the sentry card, there was only one "Chinese Border Guard" sign written in three languages: Chinese, English, and Burmese. There was not even one sentry. This situation made Major Carmen vigilant.
"Major Carmen, the fortifications of the Chinese army were found on the hill opposite!"
Several Burmese-dressed soldiers were taken to the front of the facade to report the discovery of Chinese army fortifications on the hill ahead. Although these Burmese can not fight, they are the masters of the forest and are familiar with the investigation of the terrain.
"Order the first company and launch a tentative attack on the opposite mountain!" Carmen frowned, which was different from what he thought. The original plan was to rush into Yunnan, China in one breath, but he had a fight.
It must be some Chinese border guards who are temporarily deploying. Because when they arrived yesterday, the villagers said that there was no abnormality on the opposite side.
This Indian battalion is made up of Indians and British descendants. It is a low-combat force, but it is not slow. As soon as the first company received the order, the British commander rushed the troops towards the hill.
According to the report of the Myanmar soldiers, there should be a Chinese army of a company size on the opposite side, and the British commander did not give much consideration. In his view, the strength of Chinese soldiers can never defeat the advanced weapons commanded by the British. Indian army.
"boom!!"
When the first loud explosion sounded, the British company commander realized that the troops had stepped on a mine.
What surprised him, however, was that after the first explosion, the hillsides where the army had passed or was passing also experienced a violent explosion.
"Damn, why are there so many mines!" Carmen lowered his telescope angrily. Nearly a kilometer away, a company of Indian troops charged from the beginning to the retreat of the Wolverine. In addition to leaving more than ten people killed by the mines, Also brought back seven or eight wounded soldiers.
The furious Carmen couldn't believe an ordinary charge, without firing a single shot, and even a dozen people were killed or injured. This is really a shame.
"Order the artillery to shoot at the front of the mountain and detonate the mine !!!"
Fortunately, Carmen secretly said that he was a top student in the military academy, but in a blink of an eye, he came up with a way to open a safe passage of several hundred meters with an artillery with eight artillery and firepower.
Of course, he will not count the accidental incident of stepping on a landmine again after the bombardment. War always requires a dead person. Just like a landmine, there will always be stepping on it.
"boom!"
"boom!"
... After the artillery and dense artillery sounds, the area hundreds of meters in front of the mountain was swept away by cannonballs. Although this Indian battalion was not working, the artillery companies temporarily strengthened by the British were not vegetarian and had strong firepower. The shelling was accurate, and many mines were really detonated by them.
"hit!!"
When Dai Anlan saw the Indian company organizing the attack again, he finally ordered a line of fire on the first hill to fight back.
"Bang! Bang! Bang ..." The dense Chinese Xia type rifle, which is improved from the Mauser rifle, has inherited excellent mid-range shooting performance. Compared to Indians and British descendants, it has a distance of several hundred meters. The Lienfield rifle in his hand still had some advantages.
Although the Indians had also been formally trained by the British army, the effect was disappointing. As soon as the sound of gunshots on the hill rang, the Indians stumbled together. However, because the training of the Southwest Army has always been known for its strictness, the training for live ammunition is even more stringent and rigorous. Even the guards, they also smashed into countless bullets in six months, which improved the soldier's shooting skills A lot. The Indian soldiers who were hit at the moment were not a few either. Most of them were hit in the chest, with large muzzles and bleeds, and the middle shots immediately fell down.
The unfortunate Indian soldier was hit in the head and a watermelon blossomed.
"Bang, bang !!!!" The Indians who were lying down did not run away in a hurry this time, but lay on the ground in the roar of the British company commander, raised their heads and shot on the mountain. Unfortunately, the shooting angle problem and The numerous problems caused by vegetation caused most of the bullets to fly, or flew into the weeds.
"Asshole !!"
Carmen threw the telescope again, not even feeling that the telescope hit his chest. With a big wave of his hand, "Order the artillery to fire! The target hill position, fire in three minutes !!"
A small hill actually caused India to eat continuously. Carmen was unable to sit still, and he couldn't even organize the company to charge again. He called for artillery support.
"No, in this way, the casualties will become more and more serious." Dai Anlan saw from the telescope that the artillery bombing on the top of the Mt. Zishan was shocking, and I was really afraid that the first row would just explain there.
Fortunately, there was a single gun blast hole dug out overnight. Although it was simply a small hole that could be hidden in the trenches, this time it worked very well. Otherwise, a mountain is bombed with a Bamen Mountain artillery. It is estimated that when the artillery stops firing, a platoon can almost withdraw from the battle.
"Mortar squads can try to find the artillery on the opposite side. If they are sure to destroy some of the opponent's artillery, they will focus on returning immediately."
Three minutes after being bombarded by artillery, the Indian company rose again from the ground and crawled towards the mountain cat.
"Hurry, hurry up, the English devil is coming !!"
The platoon leader also suffered a loss in the simple gun blast hole. A near-explosive mountain cannonball shocked him to spit out blood directly. He injured the internal organs and climbed out of the gun blast hole. The people in the blasthole had already been blown up at this time. Although the casualties did not shake the fundamentals of the first row, they also reached the level of eight or nine people.
"Bang bang ..."
The intensive crossfire finally sounded again. Depending on the location, the first row was worthy of blocking the other company's offensive. In fact, even the Indian company was too timid. No matter how the British company urged it, it just didn't step back. Lie on the ground and put it up with a shot, just refused to climb up.
"A bunch of idiots, a company's strength, can't even attack a defensive hill! Ordering Lieutenant Ron to take a gun must also force these idiots to attack. The artillery company continues to fire."
Carmen was a bit mad, and the original mission of "passing the border" smoothly, but turned into an offensive battle, and the other side was able to rely on the terrain and the more accurate marksmanship than the Indian army, and was well prepared to rely on the terrain. An offensive company.
Under the double cover of machine guns and cannons, Indian platoon commanders pointed at pistols finally launched a desperate offensive with guns pointed at squad leaders. There is only a hill in front of them, and they need to win it as soon as possible.
"Order the two heavy machine guns to cross fire!" Dai Anlan saw that the enemy had already climbed to a distance of less than 100 meters from the top of the mountain, and decisively ordered the two hidden heavy machine guns to fire.
"Suddenly ..." Mark Qin's machine gun, which was eliminated by the main force, once again played a role in the security forces. Two cross-configured Mark Qin machine guns instantly attacked the Indian company. Many Indian soldiers hid behind grass and rocks and were killed by a series of heavy machine gun bullets.
"The second company added to the first company's attack sequence, and the third company bypassed the hill and attacked from the flank! The gun company continued to fire."
Unwilling Carmen changed his battle plan again, sending all three companies in his hand, ready to win this little dumb mountain pass at a stretch. In his opinion, when will the barbarians' army be able to stop the army of the Sunless Empire? Even if these Indians are just a dog in the empire, they should not be stopped by the Chinese.
Dai Anlan saw the other party change the battle plan again, reached out and picked up a rifle from the trenches, and said to the instructor around him, "Ready to fight, it's your turn and me soon. If you insist on ordering retreat today, Don't die here !!! "
The battle between small troops, although there is no eye-catching battle, but you come and go to the point of Mai Mang, every position will be the focus of defense and offense.
...
Throughout noon, the Mutzi Pass was immersed in the sound of gunfire. You and I came and went, and we fought the flanks and the backlash. Between the company and the battalion, we still had no victory or defeat at noon.
Of course, the defensive side was badly bombed by artillery, but the offensive side suffered from poor terrain and poor training. After Dai Anlan joined the last reserve team, he finally beat the most dangerous attack.
It's really a best effort. One hit to the end, in addition to the exhaustion of bullets and grenades, the physical strength is also very great. The other side, however, still rushed up the mountains. Compared to a company, a battalion of Indian troops is too much. In addition, the opponent also has a cannon, a weapon for close mountain warfare.
In the end, Dai Anlan and even the instructors all went into battle, holding guns and guns, and grenade throwing grenades, and then reluctantly repelled the Indian camp attack.
"The company commander, the superior ordered."
Dai Anlan, like every amnesty, threw the last grenade in his hand down the mountain to blow up a burst of smoke. Then he wiped the smoke and dirt on his face with his sleeve, and felt the hot pain on his left cheek. Then he remembered the stray bullet in the battle just now. After a while, it almost became a headshot. Not only was he glad he hadn't died, he was also glad to have completed the mission and successfully delayed the Indian battalion's attack, and then he took the order in fear.
Unexpectedly, his own army became the first army to fight the British bloody. Although it was only a battle between a company and a battalion, it turned out to be not bad. The Indians were forced even by the British officers to rush up the mountain. Fortunately, the pistols and the company's two pistols were deployed by the squad leader. The submachine gun cooperated to catch up.
If no withdrawal order can be received, this company will become the first army of the Southwest Army to be destroyed ~ EbookFREE.me ~ The masses have been transferred, allowing your ministry to immediately retreat to the regiment line of defense. Participate in the next phase of operations. "
When Carmen finally ascended the Mt. Zishan, he almost jumped out of breath when he saw the empty mountain. After fighting for a long time, the operation was delayed, and the loss of the entire battalion reached an astonishing 40%. The power to pursue this mysterious Chinese army has been lost.
He did not understand why the opposing army, which had only one company size, could block the attack of the Indian army in a battalion.
He didn't even think that he would soon witness a "unequal battle between civilized people and barbaric nations" with the British army that followed up! !!
