Chapter 563: Fighting
First, ask for subscriptions, recommend collections
The regimental headquarters led by Qian Dagen consisted of only about 300 people, and under the leadership of local Dai hunters, they advanced from a jungle path -- a jungle path like this that non-senior hunters did not know about at all. And these trails are based on official roads. The farthest and only two or three kilometers away from the official road. If you go deeper, the old hunters are terrified!
Shortly after entering the jungle, Qian Dagen heard fierce gunfire from the side and behind.
"It's our heavy machine gun, the commissar did it. Let's hurry up and copy the back road of the Burmese division. Qian Dagen was very excited.
I have to say that Qian Dagen's luck is very good, he just rushed out of the dense forest, and happened to meet the retreating handsome. Compared to the panic of the British army, the Wehrmacht performed much better. The soldiers also had their weapons at hand, ready to attack. On the contrary, the English retreated from the encirclement, which itself suffered a great deal of morale, and then suddenly encountered the enemy on the back road, the shock of which can be imagined.
Therefore, in one photo, the British army lost nearly 100 men. You must know that both the 117th Regiment Special Service Company and the Guard Company are the elite of the 117th Regiment. The combat effectiveness is not weaker than that of the backbone company of the combat battalion, plus there is also a sniper squad at the regimental headquarters. Although there are only a dozen people in the entire sniper squad, its lethality is definitely no less than that of a company. And the handsome who was sniped by a sniper has no reason to survive.
"Enemy attack, defend on the spot." Lieutenant Colonel Gay's face was ugly. Nearly one-fifth of the troops were lost in a single photo. Fortunately, these officers were in the center, otherwise they might not have been able to escape just now.
"Chief of Staff, what's going on? Could it be that there is still an enemy ambush here? Colonel Chester said with some alarm. From the moment he decided to retreat, Colonel Chester had turned into a frightened bird. As soon as there was a gunshot in front of him, he lay on the ground regardless of his image, and did not dare to stand up until the end of this firefight. This is a very humiliating thing for a veteran. But Colonel Chester would rather lose face than a small life.
Lieutenant Colonel Guy looked dusty, his clothes were still stained with dry grass, and there was still a look of panic on his face, and there was still a look of panic on his face, where was there still a pretension before setting off - although he was disdainful of Colonel Chester's performance in his heart, Chester was his commander after all, and Lieutenant Colonel Guy could be his confidant, so it was naturally easy to hide the disdain in his eyes.
"Divisional commander, don't be in a hurry. Judging by the gunfire just now, this should be a small force of the enemy. The losses just now were due to the fact that we were caught off guard and were taken advantage of by the enemy. I immediately organized my forces to open the way. Lieutenant Colonel Guy said.
"Okay, hurry up, don't let the enemy's large forces catch up." Although Colonel Chester was in a hurry, he also knew that it would be difficult for them to evacuate safely without defeating the enemy in front of them.
Lieutenant Colonel Guy nodded, and quickly organized a company to launch a tentative attack. After all, Lieutenant Colonel Guy is from a professional class, and his military literacy is very good. And just facing a big defeat, it was the time when his mind was the most cautious and delicate. Otherwise, the British army before the war would never have been so cautious. Rush straight to it.
Smack!
A dull gunshot broke the silence of the primeval jungle. A captain and company commander of the British army fell to the ground limply without making a sound. The entire British army was in disarray.
Da-da-da-da!
Dense bullets shot out of the mountain forest. After the panicked British soldiers lost more than twenty people. Embarrassed, he fled back.
"Damn, the enemy turned out to have a dozen light machine guns blocking the road. A hard attack will definitely cost us a lot. Lieutenant Colonel Gay had an ugly face. Hiding in the rear, he didn't see the opening scene, so naturally he didn't know that there were snipers in the Wehrmacht, and he would be evaluated even higher. ..., "Chief of Staff, the gunfire just now must have attracted the attention of the large forces of the enemy in the rear. We must leave now as soon as possible. Colonel Chester said in a deep voice. Now that he had calmed down, he knew he couldn't delay any longer.
"Division commander, the enemy is responsible for blocking an elite army, although the number is not as good as ours, but it is not too much. If we attack hard, we will definitely lose a lot. And your safety can't be guaranteed either. Lieutenant Colonel Guy said embarrassedly. At this time, the British compatriots were still very conscious. The death and wounding of more than 100 people just now has already given Lieutenant Colonel Guy a headache, and if the losses continue, I am afraid that more than 500 of them will have to be explained here.
"Damn, the squadron is too cunning." Colonel Chester scolded. A staff officer was then ordered to use the only radio they were carrying to communicate with the rest of the British army in Burma.
Lieutenant Colonel Guy organized several more attacks, but without exception, they were all beaten back by the Wehrmacht. The large number of casualties among the officers finally made Lieutenant Colonel Guy realize that there were a large number of sharpshooters or snipers in the enemy army. This made the idea of Lieutenant Colonel Guy personally leading the charge to be immediately abandoned. Joking, although he is not as greedy for life and afraid of death as Colonel Chester, he is definitely not a character who spares his life. And in recent years, he has reaped a lot of benefits with Colonel Chester. I bought a small manor in the UK, even if I can't go further in the army in the future, I can retire and go home without worrying about food and clothing for the rest of my life. In this case, who is willing to fight to the death.
"Colonel, there are snipers in the enemy army, and our officers who participated in the attack were sniped and suffered no small losses. And traces of the enemy's pursuing troops have already been found in the rear. Now our only chance of survival is to go into the primeval jungle. Take advantage of the primeval jungle and escape from enemy pursuits. Lieutenant Colonel Guy said with a solemn face. Now the English ** team is still very proud of the strong ** team. If you don't reach the end of your rope, you won't surrender.
"Into the primordial inside? Absolutely not, we'll get lost in it. "When he heard that he was about to enter the primeval forest, Colonel Chester's head shook like a rattle. You must know that although the primeval jungle contains abundant resources, it is also pregnant with endless crises. Poisonous insects and beasts, miasma quicksand. These are things that can easily devour human lives. Even the most experienced hunters around this primeval jungle rarely penetrate into it. Once you lose yourself, even if you can survive, you can only be a savage. The territory of Myanmar is a place where the primeval jungle makes up, and there are definitely many people who die in the dense forest every year, and even many caravans disappear into it, turning into the nourishment of the life of the primeval jungle.
"Colonel, in addition to entering the dense forest, there is still a glimmer of life, and the rest is to die in battle, that is, to enter the Chinese prisoner of war camp. Mr. Colonel, you are the commander of this unit, and it is up to you to decide how to choose. Lieutenant Colonel Guy said in a deep voice.
"Chief of Staff, I have contacted the 7th Brigade of the Burmese Garrison, which has been redeployed. They are still more than a hundred miles away from us. If we can hold out for one day, they can do it. Do you think we're looking for a suitable place around here? "Colonel Chester has a deep fear of the verdant virgin forest. A few years ago, a friend of his, who likes to hunt, has a lot of experience in living in the mountains and forests, and he went into the primeval jungle alone despite the dissuasion of the locals, and has not been seen since. The local British once organized Burmese locals to go into the jungle to search, but they did not find any clues for a long time. In the end, the matter was over. But the first Britons to arrive in Burma had a little more awe of the untouched primeval jungle.
"Commander, I know where there is a suitable place." Following in the middle of the line, Ronayi, the only Burmese who had not been abandoned by the British, spoke. ..., Colonel Chester and Lieutenant Colonel Guy were both eye-catching. How did they forget the second leader of this Black Cloud Village, this guy is an authentic Burmese, and he has lived in this Black Cloud Village for several years, so he is naturally clear about the geographical environment of this area.
"Great. Ronayi, if you can bring us back safely, I will be rewarded. You will also be awarded medals and your status will be enhanced. Colonel Chester was overjoyed. Unsparing promises. Colonel Chester had been in the Far East for several years, and he had already grown old. He knew what it took to win the hearts of these colonial pariahs.
"Really? Thank you, Colonel. I promise to get you out unscathed, and you come with me. "Ronayi was overjoyed, and if he could receive the medal of the British, he would be of the superior rank in Burma, and although his status was inferior to that of the British, it was not much better. Even the British can't beat and scold them wantonly. You know, these medals were awarded in the name of the British Emperor, and they were themselves a symbol of status and status. Although the British royal family is not in power in the UK, it is very influential. The Emperor's Honour is considered the highest honour in the United Kingdom.
The second leader of this area, Ronayi, did know about it, but it was only not far from the vicinity of this official road. No matter how deep it goes. After all, he is surviving here as the second leader of Heiyun Village, and he is considered a high-ranking power, and he can understand the surrounding terrain conditions because he has been trained in espionage, otherwise where would he have a chance to perform today.
"Commander, the enemy has entered the dense forest." The sniper squad leader said.
"Well, since you want to go around in circles with us. Tell the troops, follow the Dai guides, and we'll go in! "Qian Dagen doesn't want to let go of the opportunity to annihilate the enemy. And the fight just now also allowed him to judge the combat effectiveness of the British ** team. To tell the truth, the combat effectiveness of this British unit is really rubbish, and the weaponry and equipment are not much superior to those of the Wehrmacht.
Knowing the combat effectiveness of the British army, Qian Dagen naturally wanted to wipe it out. Now that you have done it, you must be clean and neat, cutting the grass and eradicating the roots. It's always a danger that the enemy has fled.
"Leave a few people to look after the wounded and wait for the commissars, and the others will follow me in. ***。 I don't believe they can escape in this primeval jungle. Qian Dagen said ruthlessly. In his hometown in the Northeast, Qian Dagen also made a cameo appearance as a hunter, and now he has entered the mountains and forests again, and he does not have much psychological burden.
