Chapter 351: Myanmar Jungle War (2)(2/2)
While reporting the battle situation on the Wendo front line to the rear, he did not consider a strategic retreat until he learned that the battalion airlifted by the National Defense Force had arrived at the field airport less than 50 kilometers away from Wendo. The battalion's mission was to support Wendo. Instead of supporting the position, even according to the latest communication between Ling and the rear, the order from the headquarters was to induce the Allied elites to enter the jungle and give the Allies an appetizer since the beginning of the Burma Defense War.
So the battle lasted for a whole day, until dark, and the Indians finally used almost the entire division, but failed to break through the position.
An Indian division with 15,000 men failed to capture even a single hilltop position of the 2nd Brigade of the 33rd Division in one day. Instead, more than 400 people were wiped out and thousands of prisoners were taken. The prisoners were taken to the rear overnight and immediately It was strange to join the coolie labor camp. Along the way, the prisoner team was not particularly well guarded, but no Indian tried to escape.
Early the next morning, the Allied attack began.
"Hey, India's Asan seems to be much more powerful this time around."
Rubbing his blood-red eyes, Ling could tell from the gunshots that at least this morning, the Indians' guns were much more accurate, and the impact points within the circle of the position were more obvious. The mortars even Can have a good hit rate.
"It turns out it's the British who went into battle."
Sure enough, behind the Indian soldier Asan, followed the British regiment, and was urged by the British master who was like a supervising team. These Indians, who were like new recruits, actually began to learn to bend their waists and charge in a cat-like manner.
Even the most stupid people, after suffering a big loss yesterday and having several Indian army officers and some deserters shot dead by British and American officers, they all understood the order and remembered what they learned during training.
Danzi, a new recruit who has never been on the battlefield, finally looks like a soldier.
"Hit. Don't hit him too hard. Give the British some face."
Ling did receive intelligence. The Allied forces on the opposite side were no longer an Indian division and a British regiment, but a small broken Indian division, a British division, and an American regiment. In just one day, the Allied forces The speed is also very fast.
He knew that if he wanted to fish, today would be the best opportunity. If he stayed on the position, he would definitely suffer a loss. The jungle was the best place for the 2nd Brigade to deal with the enemy.
After the fighting stopped and the British regiment was pushed back, the Allied forces finally tried to outflank the group and were beaten back by Ling's regiment. However, the signs of the Allied forces using their superior strength to outflank were already clear.
"Brigadier Commander, the British division has moved. It has passed Forest No. 3 and is outflanking us."
It wasn't until Ling received the latest jungle reconnaissance report that he ordered a retreat. This British division had finally been fished out, and he wanted to treat it well when it acted alone.
