Chapter 105 Ruili Great Victory: All the Barbarians and Dies Are Killed Part 1(2/2)
The front commander had already issued an emergency order for the Second Division to reinforce its defense line. A fierce battle was imminent, with 1,126 casualties among the Second Division. If the Second Division did not seize the time to reinforce its new positions, casualties would be unavoidable.
The Southwest Army only relied on trench defense weapons such as heavy machine guns, grenades and various artillery to be able to withstand the low-intensity attack in the early stage. But now, not to mention the tens of thousands of British troops on the opposite side, it is just tens of thousands of pigs. Launching a charge from the position will also be a huge test.
Once the blockade fails, let alone making dumplings for the British, the entire Second Division may be defeated, and may even be turned into dumplings.
Therefore, we must not lose this time. Not only the triathletes, but also Zhuge Sheng personally ran to the front line.
"After the heavy artillery regiment has covered the Chinese forward positions with firepower and removed those damn heavy machine gun bunkers, the attack will officially begin. This frontal combat mission will be led by an independent Indian brigade, led by the 4th Division. The first regiment is responsible for following up the offensive mission, and the second regiment of the fourth division is responsible for being ready to support the follow-up. The Indian division attacks from the left wing, the Royal Gurkha breaks through the Chinese defense line from the right wing, and the third regiment will serve as the general reserve..."
In order to break through the Chinese defense line in one breath, General Knox no longer cared about the casualties. The combined casualties of the Indians and British in the past few days have exceeded the 4,000 mark. All he needs to do is rely on heavy artillery. Focus on suppressing the forward positions and break through the Chinese blocking position of only one division in one fell swoop.
"The Chinese will definitely be unstoppable." General Knox seems to have seen the light of day. What he is waiting for is the heavy artillery regiment. Once the heavy artillery regiment can effectively remove the densely packed heavy machine gun bunkers on the Chinese position, he will be able to accept the heavy artillery regiment. Low-level combat damage. "At 4:11 in the afternoon, the artillery regiment launched an artillery bombardment, targeting the Chinese forward positions. After ten minutes of artillery preparation, all units began to attack in an orderly manner."
However, what General Knox didn't know was that over Ruili, a J-1 two-seater reconnaissance aircraft modified from a J-1 fighter jet made a large circle and finally flew towards the rear of the British at a wide angle. He circled high above the ground to conduct reconnaissance.
Ten minutes later, when the fighter plane flew through a forest, it finally discovered a strange protrusion in the forest. His heart tightened for no reason. The specially trained scout rubbed his eyes and picked up the special weapon again. After carefully examining the telescope, he found that it was actually a cannon barrel. Then, he found more and more abrupt long tubes that did not belong to the jungle in the dense forest that passed quickly. Each cannon was pointed at Direction to Mengmao Town.
Holding back the huge surprise in his heart, the aerial scout tried his best to report to the radio station in the most solemn tone: "Front finger, front finger, I am Bird No. 1. I have discovered the French artillery regiment. I have discovered the French artillery regiment." position……"
The plane flew far away, and the British in the woods did not see it at all. In order to keep it secret, the artillery group in the jungle covered itself and blocked its view.
Only a British sergeant who ran to urinate in the distance looked up and saw a plane in the distance. Damn it, it took more than a week for him to crawl from the jungle of Myanmar to China. Fortunately for them, they could reach Myanmar in the blink of an eye. We flew to China. Unfortunately, the Chinese did not have an air force to give them a chance and lost the opportunity to show off their power. However, when I lowered my head and saw that I was covered in mud, I still felt unbalanced. The birds of the air force were flying high above to watch the show. He is also a gentleman, but he can only build artillery positions below. He couldn't help but cursed: "oh, **** you! ** you!!"
