Chapter 104 Ruili Victory 4: Raid on the Supply Base(1/2)
,
spn "Mountain Weasel, how is the situation?"
At midnight, in the dense jungle on the China-Myanmar border, a ghostly figure flashed in the darkness and "touched" a hidden bush. The deep voice could not be heard from a few meters away unless someone with special training
I heard a dark figure lurking in the grass for a long time, also lowering his voice, "Captain! Nothing has changed. The careless British have gone to bed long ago. The remaining Burmese are keeping vigil."
The searchlight swept around the camp opposite from time to time. Whenever the light shone at a certain angle, the lurking mountain weasel suddenly picked up the telescope next to him and reconnoitred the British camp exposed to the light.
once.
"Mountain Weasel, keep watching. When the large force moves, be careful to cooperate with the God of Wealth and snipe the sentries." The captain of the small team warned again, and then moved back to the back vigorously.
"The enemy's camp strength is probably one British company and one Burmese company, with a large number of heavy machine guns. In addition, there are nearly a thousand Burmese civilians. Our two companies responsible for this dawn raid will
Arrive at about 4:30. The mission this time is to cooperate with the main force to completely destroy the British temporary logistics base. Don’t you understand!!” The captain of the action team spoke very simply, without any unnecessary emotion. Next to him
All four people nodded solemnly.[
"Now I will assign combat tasks. Mountain Weasel is responsible for reconnaissance. During the operation, we will cooperate with God of Wealth to deal with several sentries outside. Arhat, Panda and I are responsible for killing the enemy commander."
In fact, with the strength of the Southwest Army's special forces, this kind of combat mission only requires a team of more than a dozen people to complete it brilliantly. But the problem is that this border war, including the most elite Longya Special Forces Brigade, is all over the place.
The China-Myanmar border, the Ruili Mountains, the China-Vietnam border, and the coastal areas of Guangxi are all in urgent need of manpower.
Although there are not particularly many defenders here, there are many Burmese civilians, which greatly affects the efficiency of the operation. Moreover, the above operational requirement is to completely destroy the opponent's supply base, which cannot be completed by an action team of five people.
The captain raised his wrist, opened the watch cover, looked at the low-light watch, and saw that the hands were already pointing to 2:20 in the morning, and ordered, "Set the time, change clothes!!"
After checking the time, several people picked up the clothes on the ground and put them on one after another. An elite special forces soldier in jungle attire was instantly transformed into a Burmese soldier with torn clothes.
Ruili, former enemy headquarters of the Southwest Army
Although there are intelligence staff members who collect and analyze all aspects of intelligence, Zhang Shusheng is already a little overwhelmed. Although the Southwest Army's military system has matured and has the prototype of a later professional national army. In terms of command, intelligence, staff, and operations,
, logistics and other aspects, there are supporting one-stop rules. But
He was still worried. After all, this was the first time that the Southwest Army had fought against the British, and his plan was to make dumplings of them. At this time, the coordination of the various combat units, the cooperation of the army and the air force that was about to be dispatched,
If there is a problem in any aspect of the analysis and compilation of various intelligences, the combat plan will be ruined.
When it comes to understanding the British, French, and Japanese, at least for now, no one in the Southwest Army can catch up with him. Therefore, Zhang Shusheng must go to the front line in person to ensure that this border battle is not lost.
Now it is 1925, and the formulation of the third five-year plan has basically been completed. Once the war goes smoothly, the southwest will inevitably usher in a higher peak of development. After ten years of hard work, Zhang Shusheng not only climbed from a militia leader to the king of southwest
In this position, the industrial strength of the entire southwest has been greatly accumulated. Education, science and technology, and basic industries all have the foundation for a comprehensive preliminary industrial construction.
Compared with the powerful European and American countries with big businesses, the Southwest is still backward despite its vast territory. More factories need to be built, more extensive education plans need to be implemented, and more policies to benefit the people, especially land policies, need to be strong and broad.
Of course, there are more scientific and technological breakthroughs that need to be made, more sophisticated technologies that need to be developed. More weapons and equipment that need to be produced and developed, even submarines, aircraft carriers...
Zhang Shusheng only has ten years at most, provided that Japan, the evil beast, does not launch a full-scale war in advance.
"Well, the Air Force will complete combat preparations tomorrow, which is very good." Zhang Shusheng put down the first document and was in a good mood. The special forces' reconnaissance behind enemy lines was very successful. The British heavy artillery unit will arrive at the front line in the next two days. If it can
Of course it would be best to kill them all in this dawn raid, otherwise, the Air Force will bring them a different surprise.
Hi. You know, the poor British probably don’t even have a few anti-aircraft machine guns. Of course, even if they did, they wouldn’t bring them to China. In their original plan, the Chinese were still in the era of shotgun combat. As for
The vague information provided by the Japanese might have been thrown into a trash can by the British intelligence agency.
Then, Zhang Shusheng checked the progress of the combat troops. The main first and third divisions had already made detours from Kunming and the Yunnan-Guangxi border. The third division was faster and would be ready early tomorrow.
Arriving at the scheduled combat area, the 1st Division is the slowest and is expected to arrive at the scheduled combat area in the evening the day after tomorrow.
In other words, the Second Garrison Division will have to withstand the British's rapid attack for two or three days alone. You know, the British whose logistics is attacked, no matter how stupid they are, will choose to end the battle as soon as possible.
"Where did the second division's raid force arrive?" Zhang Shusheng originally thought that this raid mission was to be handed over to a special forces squadron called the Tigers in Mengmao Town. This force was formerly the Longya Special Forces Brigade.
After the expansion of the Southwest Army, the reserve team was reorganized into the Tiger Special Forces Brigade. The number was small, but they were all elite.
However, when he received intelligence from the scouts that the British Royal Gurkha Regiment was showing signs of flanking operations, he decisively ordered the Tiger Special Forces Squadron to prepare for battle and to give the opponent a severe blow.
"Reporting to 'Chairman', the operational troops will arrive at the outskirts of the British temporary supply base at 4:30 on time, and the attack is scheduled to be launched at 4:50." The combat staff put their feet together and saluted.
"Well, keep in touch with the operational troops at all times. Once the battle fails, immediately dispatch the air force and be sure to blow up this British only supply base."
Although he did not want to expose the news of the air force's arrival at the front line in advance, Zhang Shusheng still had to make preparations after weighing the importance.[
"Hey!! Everyone gathers and prepares for level one battle."
The empty field airport was hastily constructed on a suburban field. The Southwest Army's fighter planes have not been in combat in the past few days, which is also related to the fact that all preparations have not been fully completed. Just imagine, the plane has landed, but it still has to fly.
Just go up. Without the "medicine" and fuel transported at the same time, the fighter plane cannot go into battle with bare hands.
The few days the Second Garrison Division spent blocking the enemy also bought valuable time for the field airport. The temporary runway was reinforced, fuel and medicine were gradually delivered, and various supporting facilities gradually reached standards, and the Air Force became capable of actual combat.
.
At around 3:30 in the morning, groups of people quickly ran out of the airport. The ground crew quickly pulled off the oilcloth on the fighter plane, the pilot skillfully climbed onto the fighter plane, and the refueling truck quickly drove over and connected the oil pipe to the fighter plane.
Then the transport truck came over, and the ground crew used small trucks to mount the burning, aviation bombs, aircraft machine guns, and small-caliber cannons one by one on the fighter planes.
Before four o'clock, the combat aircraft needed to prepare the combat plan had already mounted all the required combat weapons. Just waiting for an order, this young air force would launch an early surprise attack on the British.
————————
At 4:50 in the morning, on the Myanmar side of the China-Myanmar border, the British supply base.
Chen Jiheng looked at his watch for the last time. When the hands reached 4:50, he shouted: "The attack begins!!"
"Puff puff puff..."
At the beginning of the operation, Mountain Weasel spat out the pepper dregs in his mouth, and with three quick shots in the morning light, he easily killed the sentries at the three sentry posts. Based on Mountain Weasel's qualifications in the Dragon Tooth Special Forces.
Look, he is good at lurking, reconnaissance and shooting. It was so easy for him to take down these Burmese soldiers who were almost asleep against the sentry post.
Almost at the moment the sentry fell, the action troops, under the command of Chen Jiheng, quickly broke through the outer barbed wire fence that had been destroyed by the special team, and took the lead in launching a surprise attack without even saying a word about the mortars.
At dawn, the most sleepy time, as soon as the sentries on the perimeter and at the sentry posts were eliminated, troops from the two companies poured into this simple logistics supply base, and even the mortar troops followed.
.
The reason why Chen Jiheng was able to win this dawn raid mission was because the Second Battalion's combat performance was so outstanding. Of course, Dai Anlan played an even greater role in this. The company he led has repeatedly made meritorious deeds, which can be regarded as a card for the Second Battalion.
Face. Many staff members of the general staff did not expect that a company of a garrison division could actually perform better than a company of the main force. This obviously shows the ability of Dai Anlan, a top student of the Chinese Military Academy.
The supply base is quite large. The entire camp is divided into two groups: the front is the Burmese barracks, and the back is the British barracks. When the Southwest Army broke into the Burmese barracks and disarmed the sleeping Burmese, the ones behind were
The British finally woke up.
"Guard the prisoners on the spot and shoot them if they resist!!"
The arrangements of the British and Burmese were already explained in the intelligence Dai Anlan received from the Longya Squadron. This was also a last resort, to capture the Burmese and then launch an attack on the British.
However, when Dai Anlan saw the situation on the other side through the specially issued low-light telescope, he almost burst into laughter.
"Hahaha... The British were so scared that they crawled out without even having time to put on their pants." Dai Anlan saw clearly from the telescope that the British did not build heavy machine gun fortifications in the barracks at all.
The heavy machine gun fortifications had long been destroyed by sharpshooters. The panicked British were so frightened that they didn't even have time to put on their pants. They carried their old heavy machine guns, lay down outside the barracks, and casually found a bunker.
He started shooting randomly towards the opposite side.
"One row and two rows detour from the left and right sides, and three rows hold the enemy frontally. The heavy machine gun team is responsible for suppressing fire, and the rocket launcher team clears the opponent's heavy machine guns." Dai Anlan quickly gave the order. At this time, the British panicked, although
People kept running out of the barracks, either wearing trousers and forgetting their clothes, or only wearing clothes but no trousers. Some even held up their trousers because they couldn't find their belts.
This was the best time to outflank. As long as the front was fierce, the British would not have time to pay attention to the two wings. They were already stunned.
As soon as the order was given, the heavy machine gun team quickly set up several newly added H24 machine guns. This type of machine gun is based on the German mg42. It is easy to carry and has a very advantageous rate of fire. It will die as soon as it is launched.
He tightly suppressed the machine gun shooter on the opposite side.
"Hiss..."[
Amidst the scalp-numbing sound of tearing cloth, the H24 machine gun fired at a rate of 1,600 rounds, crushing the Maxim machine gun, which had a theoretical rate of fire of only 600 rounds, to the point where it was impossible to raise its head.
The British never came to their senses. As a British person who had just experienced World War I, the fact that a division had only a few dozen machine guns before the war to a division with hundreds of machine guns after the war was enough to show that the sun never sets on the empire.
The importance attached to machine guns, the barbed wire fences and trench warfare at one stop have proven the great value of machine guns. However, at this time, it was not the British who used machine guns to suppress the barbaric and backward Chinese, but the barbaric and backward Chinese who were severely beaten by machine guns.
The ground suppressed him, and he was beaten so hard that he couldn't even lift his head.
"What is that!!!"
A British soldier looked through a crack in the house and saw two soldiers suddenly appearing on the opposite side, carrying a strangely shaped long barrel. Then he saw a fiery snake-like thing, moving rapidly and fiercely in a strangely strange posture.
The ground flew towards the barracks.
"boom……"
Several consecutive rounds of rocket launchers blew up several simple barracks into the sky in an instant. The British who were hiding in front of and behind the houses suffered heavy casualties. The unlucky ones were even buried by the houses.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
Then, the mortars actually approached and spoke. The low sound of the cannons flew over a very short distance and washed the area around the barracks with blood again.
When the British who were stunned by the bombing were about to get up and fight back, what they saw when they raised their heads was not only the devastation, but also the black holes of gun muzzles. Of course, there were also groups of yellow-skinned soldiers dressed in weird clothes.
Just as they were about to subconsciously reach out to "touch" the rifle shaft that had been blown into parts next to them, the British gentlemen were hit head-on by the yellow-skinned soldiers with their rifle butts, making their heads sparkle with stars.
"**, white-skinned monkey, try moving again, move again, and I will send your son to meet your God!" It has long been spread among the soldiers of the Southwest Army that these white-skinned monkeys are the favorite.
Just leave everything to God.
