Chapter 562: Defeated

During the heyday of the Central Plains, Myanmar was once a vassal state of China, paying tribute every year and receiving the canonization of zhōng yāngzhèng fǔ. However, since the British invaded Burma and turned Burma into a British colony, the suzerainty relationship between China and Burma has been completely lost. The official roads of the two countries have been in disrepair for a long time, and most of them have long been swallowed up by the primeval jungle. Later, with the prosperity of the smuggling trade, this kind of official road finally played some role, and it was not completely annihilated in history.

Less than ten miles away from Biyun Mountain, a large army was advancing. Although this unit was neatly uniformed, its morale was not very good. Whether it was the troops in front of the road or the troops behind the palace, they were a little unscrupulous. Only the most zhōng yāng has a force of about 500 people, and the momentum is good. And all of them were tall Caucasian soldiers. These were the regular troops of the British, with a battalion in full. This is also the greatest confidence of Colonel Chester to dare to make trouble for the Wehrmacht at this time.

"Ronayi, how far is it going?" Colonel Chester said. Although he was born in the British Royal Army, in the years of living comfortably in Burma, he was fully focused on how to maintain the smuggling route and obtain a lot of wealth, and he had almost forgotten about the ability of a soldier and his job. Spending all day drinking, his body was fattened earlier, and his protruding belly made him extremely uncomfortable to ride a horse. Thirty miles is not a long distance. However, this is a primeval dense forest, and the terrain is complex, even if they originally walked on the official road, but it was impossible to move in a straight line, and when the official road was established, the influence of the terrain had to be considered many times. Therefore, the straight-line distance between the Burmese division camp and Biyun Mountain is thirty miles, but if you really have to measure the past step by step, I am afraid that there are more than fifty miles if not sixty miles. And the road is not easy to follow, and the smugglers will not spend money to maintain the road in the dense forest.

"Commander, there are still seven or eight miles to go. You can see that snow-covered mountain in the distance is Biyun Mountain. Our Black Cloud Village is set up on the mountainside. Now that's where the squadron is stationed. Where should our lost heroin remain? I've had people inquire. In the past few days, there has been no army to escort things away from Biyun Mountain. Luo Nayi, the second master of Biyun Mountain Black Cloud Village, said in fluent English.

“mygod! And so far! Colonel Chester wiped the cold sweat from his head and looked at the Biyun Mountain in the distance with great confusion. Wangshan ran a dead horse, even if he saw Biyun Mountain, but he had to climb at least two hills to get there. The distance of seven or eight miles is still a conservative statement. Now Chester regretted that he should not have come in person this time, otherwise he would not have suffered this crime.

"Division commander, let the troops speed up their march! We had to get to Biyun Mountain before noon. Lieutenant Colonel Gay, Chief of Staff, suggested.

"Okay, let the troops speed up." Colonel Chester said helplessly. Now that he's here, he's too late to go back. Chester was, after all, a qualified officer, though corrupted by wealth. But his eyes were still there, and of course he knew how hot it was by noon. The soldiers simply could not sustain the battle.

At the same time, the 117th Regiment of the Wehrmacht also came down from Biyun Mountain. But as for how to act next, Qian Dagen and Ji Cong had a disagreement.

Qian Dagen wanted to fight a sports war, set up an encirclement, and eat the attacking Burmese division in one bite. But out of prudence, Ji Cong hoped that the troops could fight a sports war. The purpose is to defeat the Burmese division. After all, the Burmese division has nearly 5,000 men, almost twice as many as the 117th Regiment of the National Defense Forces. And the combat effectiveness of the Burmese division is also not clear to the IDF. A rash war of annihilation may result in the dispersion of the forces and the defeat of each by the enemy.

"Report to the regimental commander, the scouts have sent news that the enemy has approached Ertou Mountain. It takes us half an hour at most to reach Dalong Mountain in front of us. The Scout said.

"Have you ever seen the enemy?" Qian Dagen asked in a deep voice.

"See! The enemy's strength was about 4,500 men, divided into three levels: front, middle and rear. There were 2,000 Burmese soldiers in front and behind, and 500 British ** troops in the middle. ”

"What about the enemy's jǐng ring? How many scouts are sent? Ji Cong asked.

"The enemy did not send scouts, and the troops marched at a fast pace."

"What?" Ji Cong's face was stunned.

"Is the commander of the British army a pig? It's so bold that he didn't even send scouts. Qian Dagen's face sank. He really couldn't look at the performance of the Burmese division. In vain, he still regarded this Burmese division as an opponent and treated it so cautiously.

"No one can prove that this is not a deliberate trick to confuse us. Regiment commander, the situation is unknown, we have insufficient troops, and there are no reinforcements, so it is too difficult to fight a war of annihilation. Did we choose to ambush the enemy at Dalongshan. Hit them as hard as you can. Ji Cong suggested.

"What you say makes sense, but I will not give up the idea of fighting a war of annihilation. In this way, you set up an ambush at Dalongshan with three battalions. I took the regimental headquarters spy company and the jǐng guard company and the sniper squad to touch behind them. Give them a big pop chrysanthemum. Promise to keep them in memory for a lifetime. Qian Dagen said with a smile.

"This ......," Ji Cong muttered.

"Alright, let's carry out the order!" Qian Dagen waved his hand and took the lead in breaking away from the large army with Jīng Rui, a direct subordinate to the regimental headquarters.

The battle began suddenly. The vanguard of the Burmese division plunged headlong into the IDF encirclement without reconnaissance. With its camouflage and advantageous terrain, the main force of the 117th Regiment inflicted heavy losses on the Burmese division. The heavy machine-gun shelling and intertwined fire stunned the Burmese division at once. Before the British ** officer could react, the 2,000 Burmese soldiers in the vanguard collapsed.

Colonel Chester's face changed dramatically. Jumped off the horse quickly. Use the body of a war horse to protect your slightly bloated body, and ride on a tall horse on the battlefield is looking for death. This tells the enemy that you are the commander. Once he was killed by a local sharpshooter, the whole situation of the war would be rewritten, and Colonel Chester knew this.

"Fight back, organize a fight back!" Colonel Chester yelled. In the face of this kind of ambush, the first thing to do is not to break through, but to stabilize the morale of the army. Otherwise, once the soldiers broke through indiscriminately, no matter how sharp the troops were, they would not be able to avoid the collapse.

"Rush!" Ji Cong roared and took the lead in rushing out of the camouflaged place. The three battalions of the 117th Regiment rushed out in a swarm.

"Ah——!h

"Mom, run!"

…… The quality of the Burmese soldiers was displayed at this moment, and the formation that had already been broken down became even more chaotic, and they fled to the rear under the leadership of a small number of people.

Bang Bang Bang!

The British soldier raised his rifle and opened fire on the fleeing Burma with a blank face. The British acted so ruthlessly to suppress many Burmese soldiers. Many Burmese soldiers are also single. As soon as he saw the current situation, he knew that it was impossible to escape, so he could only turn around and rush towards the squadron. If they can unscrew the head of a Chinese soldier, then they will not only be able to save their lives, but also get a great military merit reward.

Kill...... Chinese soldiers rushed into the Burmese army with shiny bayonets and fierce faces.

Poof, poof! Snowflakes flying!

The corpses of Burmese soldiers fall. Almost every eye's eyes widened. They don't believe what they're seeing. When did the Chinese soldiers become so powerful, and most of the people who fell to the ground at the sight of the face were Burmese soldiers. Colonel Chester also felt that something was wrong. The ferocity of the Chinese soldiers sent chills to him.

"Is this still a cowardly Chinese soldier? When did it become so tough? Seeing the Burmese soldiers who were about to collapse, Chester immediately pulled out the two thousand Burmese soldiers behind his palace at the same time. Under the pressure of the British gendarmerie, these Burmese soldiers had to rush to the forefront of the battlefield. They don't want to fight, and they don't want to die. But the orders of the British, they did not dare to disobey. Otherwise their families will be brutally retaliated against by the British. The British are known as gentlemen in the world, but in their colonies, the British are cruel devils. Countless people die every year under the colonial policy of the British. It's just that these are not found in newspapers and so on.

"Lieutenant Colonel Gay, we've got it. The Chinese have long been in ambush. Colonel Chester said with a pale face.

"Division commander, I suggest that you evacuate immediately. There is a saying in China that the green mountains are flowing in, and you are not afraid of no firewood! Guy glanced at the Burmese soldiers who were fighting, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes.

"Yes, yes, let's evacuate immediately!" Colonel Chester was eager to leave at once. He was now feeling a deadly crisis. Compared to the safety of his own life, the 4,000 Burmese soldiers were simply scum. It's just that as the commander of this force, if Colonel Chester fled, it would inevitably lead to the collapse of the Burmese army. He was hesitating just now, but now that Lieutenant Colonel Guy brought it up, Colonel Chester hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Under the mobilization of Lieutenant Colonel Gay, 500 British troops moved quickly to protect the British ** officers from the battlefield. Even the overseers who were in charge of monitoring the Burmese soldiers' operations were withdrawn.

"The British have fled. Do you still want to be stubborn? Ji Cong shouted in half-hung Burmese. Then shouted again in English. The Burmese have been ruled by the British for quite some time. Therefore, it is not unusual to speak some English.

"Ah......h The Burmese soldiers looked back and saw that the British, who had been fierce and vicious, had disappeared. By this time, if they still don't understand, it's pigs. The Burmese, although not smart, are definitely not fools.

Faced with this fate of abandonment, these Burmese soldiers completely collapsed. They then scattered into the jungle and tried to flee back into Burma. Despite their best efforts, the Wehrmacht soldiers were able to capture only a fraction of them, and the rest were able to return to Burma as long as they did not die in the dense forest. It's just that I don't know if these people who were abandoned by the British masters will still go to work for the British.

Just when Ji Cong ordered the troops to clean up the battlefield, gunshots suddenly sounded in the distance, and it became very intense in a short period of time.

Ji Cong's face changed greatly, and he knew that the regiment commander must have led the troops directly under the regimental headquarters to block the escape route of the British army. Ignoring anything else, Ji Cong immediately gathered his troops and rushed towards the gunshot.
