590 419 departed

Wingate calmly ordered to choose a favorable position to set up mortars and machine guns, and some Japanese troops saw them, but due to the confusion of command, they could not upload and issue an effective response.

The British had a platoon of 3-inch mortars firing in the rear, and the 10 infantry platoons in front also had a total of 8 51mm mortars, a support weapon that was somewhat superior to the Japanese grenadiers, except that it was slightly more powerful, and its rate of fire was also a little stronger than that of grenadiers fired from the handle. With only a cursory aim, the weapons began firing into the crowds of the enemy camp, quickly detonating the ammunition squad vehicles of the accompanying headquarters. Immediately after the Chinese army was gradually suppressed by enemy fire, the British launched a charge.

After the battle started, Wingate did not communicate with Xu Chong in any way, but he was confident that he had understood the situation. This is a high-ranking Japanese army headquarters, which should be a division and regimental headquarters. He was very strange, since the retreat in northern Burma, he was often led into battles that he did not want by Chu Tingchang's troops in a daze, but he did not suffer every time. This time it was even more absolute, and he realized that he was on the verge of great success. The position entered had a good firing range and there was no enemy blocking.

The British charge first rushed into a group of unarmed Japanese soldiers, who searched for weapons, including bayonets, shovels, crutches, and tent sticks...... They knew that the enemy was going to rush into position from behind, and they had to buy time for the rest of the troops.

In the face of this group of sick devils, the British army rarely broke out with the courage to see the red with bayonets, rushed towards the Japanese army far more than themselves, and divided the victory and defeat as soon as they joined the battle. The sick were knocked down in pieces by automatic weapons (the British still did not want to kill the enemy with bayonets).

The Wingate army, in order to adapt to jungle warfare, strengthened a large number of Stern*. The Japanese infantry was firmly pinned down by the Chinese army in front of them, and with no command, they fell into complete confusion, and no one saw that the catastrophe was about to befall them.

Xu Chong observed with a telescope and found that the vanguard of the British army was approaching the enemy headquarters, and he suddenly thought of a worst-case scenario, Maruyama's head was picked up by Wingate. And the trend became clear, which he didn't expect.

But he did not have artillery and enough troops to adjust his tactics, so he could only let the situation change.

Wingate's troops rushed to the vicinity of the headquarters tent and engaged the enemy there in hand-to-hand combat. Several soldiers burst into the tents, swept several staff officers with *, and then began to collect maps and documents of the Japanese army, completely ignoring the dead people lying on the ground, perhaps their army did not have a tradition of counting the first rank to calculate military merits. In fact, the Chinese army has long been without this kind of barbaric method, but considering the sinister hearts of the people, it is still important to have an enemy head as a necessary proof.

In fact, Zhao Xiaoli's troops found a fake corpse to impersonate because the body of Mutaguchi was too fragmented to be photographed, and as a result, Britain and the United States made a fuss, and so far they have not admitted that the Chinese army killed Mutaguchi. The British believed that Mutaguchi should have been killed by the British while directing the Indian army on the Western Front.

While the battle was raging here, 419 ended his vacation and quietly set sail towards the south. This time she will cross the Strait of Malacca to the East China Sea, judging from the water temperature conditions, it will soon enter the most suitable month for salvage, they have to see the progress of the traverser, especially since last year, the enemy has been in Kure Harbor, with a heavy cruiser to convert the salvage ship, it is estimated that it has been completed, this is a major threat, need to be solved as a priority.

In the three-person decision-making group of 419, it seems that Commander Chu Tingchang has become the commander of the army as he wishes, and the situation in India has stabilized. With the first major setback of the Japanese army and navy since the frenzied expansion of the war, the chances of victory for the Travelers through historical speculation were already slim, and the fear now was that the enemy was operating at the technical level.

Cheng Dayang still remembers the active sonar characteristics of the enemy* recorded by the sonar, the enemy is in action, and they are gradually aware of the existence of 419, so they must rely on one or two actions to solve the problem once and for all, as for the crossing technology on the Kasuga Maru, it can only be regarded as the most secondary target. In fact, it is necessary to devise a plan to completely destroy Kasugamaru in order to prevent future troubles, but even if you want to carry out this strategy, there are still huge technical difficulties ahead, and there is no nuclear* on 419 to carry out such an attack.

Commander Chu stood at the door of the headquarters in a daze, for him, the ultimate dream of becoming a military commander was almost over, and he personally never wanted a deputy army commander or something like that. But 419 left.

Now, he has only a handful of modern advantages left, including the reconnaissance capabilities of Ma Qiang and Xu Chong, and a few small drones. He had a bargain with Lin Xiuxuan and asked to keep Qin Xiaosu, but Lin Xiuxuan indifferently vetoed this request on the grounds that the task he was about to face was more arduous. Now he wants to independently lead this huge American Union force into the counteroffensive and become a pillar that will turn history around. He must rely more on the consciousness of modern warfare than on the technology of modern warfare to achieve this goal. Of course, at this moment, he is no longer Wuxia Amon, he has become the hottest commander of the entire Allied Army, with more than 20,000 elite troops under his command. Through victories in battles large and small, he proved himself to be the most suitable person to lead a counteroffensive throughout Burma, and even Vivier and Stilwell recognized this, with the only opposing being Chiang Kai-shek in Chongqing; After driving away the army commander sent from Chongqing, his relationship with Chongqing was bound to fall to the bottom, and he had replaced Sun Liren and became a big problem for Lao Jiang. He hoped that after Guo Rugui left, he could quickly start a new situation, but he didn't know if Lao Guo himself had restored contact with there.

Xu Chong's troops were still fighting with the Japanese army, and he watched the Japanese desperately resist their own attack like idiots, but ignored the British troops attacking from behind, of course, in essence, the Japanese were exhausted and unable to make such adjustments, and they could only shoot at their nearest opponent on the cramped battlefield. The Japanese troops, hastily plunged into battle, tried to launch a counter-charge against the attackers. There were still one or two full squads under unified command that went on the offensive. Under the dense fire of the Bren machine guns and *, there were almost no escapes that could rush in front of them to engage in bayonet battles.

Wingate's troops quickly swept over from the rear, compressing the entire fragile Japanese defense to the last area, and the Japanese lost 80% of the entire camp, making the British artillery fire more accurate.

Wingate, who was not far from the line, observed through his binoculars that the Chinese army was still making very little progress, while his own troops quickly eliminated at least 700 Japanese troops. It was an unprecedented victory for him, and although most of the Japanese soldiers shot were unarmed, the British had never been so confident in facing far more Japanese troops than they were. He and Slim had indeed miscalculated when he and Slim had been studying how to attack the Japanese with an overwhelming superiority of forces. The enemy is indeed very brave, even on crutches, he has to come and shout and fight, but under the right leadership, he still overwhelms his momentum.

There is no doubt that this was a battle dominated by the courage of the soldiers, and the British Army went into battle without resting for 18 hours through the jungle overnight, and after the reckless Chinese army completely misjudged the enemy's strength and fell into partial passivity, the British entered the battle without hesitation. That's where this battle really counts.

He already knew the pattern of the entire battlefield, as long as a few more machine guns occupied the commanding heights on the east side, then the remaining Japanese troops would have no barrier to rely on, and could only be slaughtered.

He ordered his deputy, Lieutenant Charleson, to lead a platoon to rush to the high ground and quickly end the battle. During this time, a large number of Japanese troops escaped from the loose Allied two-sided attacks and fled into the nearby forests, and the Chinese and British did not waste bullets on these people. They still fled.

Xu Chong used the radio to direct his troops to outflank the Japanese army from the side, but his own troops were also engaged in fighting the Japanese and could not be effectively dispatched. He watched as the British easily broke through from the enemy's weakest direction, like a hot knife cutting into butter, pressing the enemy in the rear of the Japanese army. In the end, after the British army suffered a small price, a machine gun platoon rushed to the commanding heights behind the Japanese army, erected two Vickers heavy machine guns there, and strafed the Japanese army's back from this one. The Japanese finally fell into a two-sided attack with a depth of less than 200 meters. The British army successively added several light machine guns to the fire, and a large number of Japanese troops were knocked down, so they still tried to recapture the high ground with a suicidal charge, and soon the corpses in front of the machine guns piled up into a hill, and the Japanese troops behind could not even cross over. The invincible enemy of the past is so vulnerable?

Taking advantage of the situation, Xu Chong could finally draw out a platoon and enter the enemy position in a roundabout way under his own leadership, and he needed to quickly seize the enemy headquarters and find the body. He had just confirmed that the British had only taken pictures of the corpses, but had not cut off their heads. He must not miss such an opportunity.

Two British intelligence officers and a U.S. liaison officer were gathering intelligence in the tent of the enemy headquarters, where there were seven or eight corpses, some of which had been killed by the British. The British did not care about the dead bodies on the ground, they paid more attention to the divisional documents and maps.

Suddenly, a dozen fierce creatures rushed into the tent. The first guy with a face painted on leaves came in, and completely ignored the British and American officers, and began to dictate his men. The lean, short, fierce-eyed men behind him, each with a * and a machete on their backs, rushed around the headquarters.

The British officer found that the group had made a mess of the documents that were lying on the ground for photo archiving, so they scolded them.

"Hey, what are you savages going to do?"

Without speaking, he was immediately put to his neck with a machete, and behind the machete, a pair of vicious eyes stared at him and forced him out of the tent. The Chinese soldier didn't know what the British were saying, but his intuition told him that this guy didn't say good words when he was scolding.
