No one doubted Dai Anlan's order. On the first day he came to the company, he sent two old Yunnan soldiers who had caused harm to their neighbors to the west. Although this combination of kindness and power was extremely simple, it had a profound impact on the people in the army at this time.

Both types of people - the old reservists and the veterans of Yunnan and Guangxi - were extremely useful, and each found their own reasons to fight.

Of course, the Southwest Army's generous treatment, full military pay, and excellent pension policy have all made these recruits and veterans less worried to a certain extent. The Southwest Army's disability and death pensions are not just talk. Every unit has

Each number has a special ceremony every year: distributing pensions to disabled, sick and deceased veterans.

Even in this garrison company, everyone has clearly written down their beneficiaries. According to their information, no matter who they give their future pensions to, the Southwest Army will pay them in full and on time.

"How are the mines being buried?" Dai Anlan asked the engineer squad leader beside him.

"Don't worry, company commander. More than a hundred serial anti-infantry broadsword mines have been laid for a long time. All you have to do is step on them and keep them safe to explode a large area."

Anti-infantry mines are relatively cheap and are one of the better equipments that Dai Anlan's department can obtain. Infantry mines placed near the firing line of more than 300 meters will send out the first roar against the invaders.

Dai Anlan nodded and immediately ordered: "Order the first platoon to prepare for battle immediately. When the mines sound, fire immediately."

The British army moved very quickly, and after passing through the woods, they headed straight for the checkpoint.

When he found that there was no one inside the checkpoint, there was only a "China Border Guard" sign written in Chinese, English and Burmese, and there was not even a sentry. This situation made Major Carmen a little vigilant.

"Major Carmen, the fortifications of the Chinese ** team were discovered on the opposite hill!!"

Several soldiers dressed as Burmese were brought to Carmen and reported the news that the fortifications of the Chinese Army had been discovered on the hilltop ahead. Although these Burmese were not good at fighting, they were the masters of the mountains and forests and were familiar with "feeling" the terrain for reconnaissance.

"Order the First Company to launch a tentative attack on the mountain opposite!" Carmen frowned. This was different from what she had thought. The original plan was to rush into Yunnan, China, but she didn't expect to have to fight a battle.

It must be some kind of border defense force from China that has set up temporary defenses above. Because when I arrived yesterday, the villagers said there was nothing unusual on the other side.

This Indian battalion is composed of Indians and British descendants. It is a unit with low combat effectiveness, but it is not slow in action. As soon as the first company received the order, the British commander rushed the troops towards the mountain.

According to the reports of Burmese soldiers, there should be a platoon to a company-sized Chinese unit on the opposite side. The British commander did not give it much thought. In his opinion, with the strength of the Chinese troops, it was absolutely impossible to defeat the Chinese troops commanded by the British.

Indian army with advanced weapons.

"boom!!"

When the first huge explosion sounded, the British company commander realized that his troops had stepped on a mine.

However, what surprised him was that after the first explosion, violent explosions also occurred in the hillside areas where the army had passed or was passing.

"Damn, why are there so many landmines?!" Carmen put down the telescope angrily. Nearly a thousand meters away, a company of Indian troops retreated in embarrassment from a brave charge at the beginning. In addition to leaving behind more than ten people who were killed by landmines,

He also brought back seven or eight wounded soldiers.

The furious Carmen couldn't believe that an ordinary charge resulted in more than twenty casualties in one company without firing a single shot. This was really a shame and a great humiliation.

"Order the artillery to shoot at the mountain front area and detonate landmines!!"

Carmen secretly said that it was lucky that he was a top student in the military academy. He just came up with a solution in a blink of an eye. With the firepower of an artillery battery of eight artillery pieces, it would be very easy to open a safe passage several hundred meters long.

Of course, he would not take into account the accidental incident of stepping on a landmine again after the shelling. War always requires death, just like landmines, there will always be people stepped on.

"boom!"

"boom!"

... After the intensive artillery fire from the artillery battery, the area several hundred meters in front of the mountain was swept away by artillery grass. Although the Indian battalion was not good, the artillery battery temporarily reinforced by the British was not a vegetarian and had stronger firepower.

, the shelling was also very accurate, and many mines were actually detonated by them.

"beat!!"

When Dai Anlan saw that the Indian company organized another attack, he finally ordered the platoon on the first hilltop to fire back.

"Bang! Bang! Bang..." The densely packed Chinese Type 1 rifle, which was improved from the Mauser rifle, inherited excellent mid-range shooting performance. At a distance of several hundred meters,

Compared with the Lee-Enfield rifles held by Indians and British descendants, it has slight advantages.

Although the Indians also received formal training from the British Army, the results were disappointing. As soon as the gunfire rang out on the hilltop, the Indians fell down together. However, because the training of the Southwest Army has always been known for its strictness,

The training for actual shooting is even more stringent. Even the garrison division has smashed countless bullets in six months, which has greatly improved the soldiers' shooting ability. Now he was

There were not a few Indian soldiers who were hit. Most of them were hit in the chest. The huge muzzle of the gun was bleeding profusely. They fell down immediately after being shot.

The unluckier Indian soldier was even hit in the head, causing a watermelon blossom.

"Bang bang bang!!!..." The Indians who lay down did not run away in a hurry this time. Instead, they lay on the ground amidst the roar of the British company commander, raised their heads and shot at the mountain. Unfortunately, "shoot"

』The problem of horns and the abundance of vegetation caused most of the seeds to fly away or fly into the weeds.

"asshole!!"

Carmen threw away the telescope again. She didn't even feel the telescope hit her chest. She waved her hand and said, "Order the artillery battery to fire! Target the top of the mountain and shoot rapidly in three minutes!!"

A small hilltop actually caused the Indian company to suffer consecutive losses. Carmen couldn't sit still, and didn't even bother to organize the company to charge again, and directly called for artillery support.

"No, if this continues, the casualties will become more and more serious." Dai Anlan saw through the telescope that the top of Yazi Mountain was shattered by artillery bombs, and he was really afraid that the first row would explain it there.

Fortunately, there was an individual soldier's artillery defense hole dug overnight. Although it was simply a small hole for hiding in the trench, it had a very good effect at this time. Otherwise, bombing a hilltop with eight mountain cannons would

It is estimated that when the artillery stops firing, a platoon will almost be able to withdraw from the battle.

"The mortar team will try to see if they can find the artillery on the opposite side. If they are sure to destroy some of the opponent's artillery, they will immediately focus on counterattack."

After being bombarded by artillery for three minutes, the Indian company got up from the ground again and crawled toward the mountain top.

"Quick, quick, the British devils are coming!!"

A platoon leader also suffered a loss in a simple artillery cave just now. A near-explosion of a mountain artillery shell caused him to vomit blood. With his internal organs injured, he climbed out of the cave and saw that he had not had time to hide in the cave just now.

The people in the shell hole had been blown away by this time. Although the casualties did not shake the foundation of the first platoon, they still numbered eight or nine people.

"Bang bang bang..."

Intensive firefights finally started again. Taking advantage of the favorable location, the first platoon was able to block the attack of a company of the other side. In fact, it was the Indian company that was too timid. No matter how much the British company commander urged, they just did not retreat and lay on the ground.

He shot upwards one after another, but he just refused to climb up.

"A bunch of idiots, a company of troops, can't attack a hilltop defended by a platoon! Even if you order Lieutenant Ron to use a gun, you have to force these idiots to attack. The artillery company continues to fire."

Carmen was a little crazy. What was originally expected to be a smooth "clearance" mission turned into a tough battle, and the opponent's platoon was actually able to rely on the terrain and marksmanship that was more accurate than the Indian army. It was well prepared and relied on the terrain to block the attack.

A company attack.

Under the double cover of machine guns and artillery, the Indian platoon leaders, who were pointed at by pistols, finally pointed their guns at the squad leaders and launched a desperate attack. There was only a hilltop in front of them, and they needed to capture it as soon as possible.

"Order the two heavy machine guns to cross fire!" Dai Anlan saw that the enemy had almost climbed to a distance of less than 100 meters from the top of the mountain, and decisively ordered the two hidden heavy machine guns to fire.

"Thud, tut, tut..." The Maxim machine guns that had been eliminated by the main force once again exerted their residual heat in the garrison. Two cross-configured Maxim machine guns immediately stopped the attack momentum of the Indian company, and many Indian soldiers hid in the grass.

Behind the rocks, he was also killed by heavy machine gun fire.

"The second company joined the first company's attack sequence. The third company went around the hill and attacked from the flank! The artillery company continued to fire."

Unwilling to be reconciled, Carmen changed his battle plan again and sent out all three companies in his hand, preparing to capture this small dumb mountain pass in one go. In his opinion, when would the barbarian army be able to stop the sun from setting?

The army of the empire? Even if these Indians are just dogs of the empire on which the sun never sets, they should not be stopped by the Chinese.

Seeing that the opponent had changed the battle plan again, Dai Anlan reached out to pick up a rifle from the trench and said to the instructor beside him: "Get ready to fight. It will be your and my turn soon. Either we persist until the order to retreat today or we must

Just die here!!”

Although the battles between small units are not as eye-catching as the big battles, you and I are going head-to-head, and every position will be the focus of defense and offense.

…

Throughout noon, the Yazi Mountain Pass was immersed in the sound of gunfire. Both sides were going back and forth, outflanking and counterattacking. The confrontation between a company and a battalion actually ended at noon and there was still no winner.

Of course, the defending side was badly damaged by artillery, but the attacking side suffered from poor terrain and poor training. After Dai Anlan put in the last reserve team, he finally defeated the most dangerous attack.

They really tried their best. A company fought to the end. In addition to using up their eggs and grenades, their physical strength was also greatly exhausted. However, the opponent still rushed up from all over the mountains and plains. Compared to a company and a battalion of Indian troops, it was really difficult.

There are too many. Moreover, the opponent also has a mountain cannon, a powerful weapon in close-range mountain warfare.

In the end, Dai Anlan and the company instructors all went into battle, holding guns and throwing grenades, and they managed to repulse the Indian battalion's attack.

"Company Commander, orders from superiors."

As if he was receiving an amnesty, Dai Anlan threw the last grenade in his hand down the mountain and exploded a burst of smoke. Then he wiped the smoke and mud all over his face with his sleeve. He felt a burning pain on his left cheek, and then he remembered that he had been wiped in the battle just now.

After a moment, he almost died from a headshot. I was glad that I didn't die, and I was also glad that I had completed the task and successfully delayed the Indian battalion's attack. Then I took the order with some fear and trembling.

Unexpectedly, his army became the first to fight a bloody battle with the British. Although it was only a battle between a company and a battalion, the surprise was no less than a major battle. The Indians were "forced" by the British officers.

He even rushed to the top of the hill several times. Fortunately, he was driven back down by the cooperation of the pistols equipped by the squad and platoon leaders and the two submachine guns from the company headquarters.

If the order to retreat is not received again, this company will become the first organic unit of the Southwest Army to be eliminated.

"The mass transfer has been completed, and your troops are allowed to immediately retreat to the regiment headquarters defense line to participate in the next phase of the battle."

When Carmen finally climbed Mazi Mountain, she almost jumped off the mountain in anger when she saw an empty mountain. After fighting for a long time, she was delayed in moving. Not to mention, the entire battalion suffered an astonishing 40% loss, and had lost all ability to pursue the unit.

The power of the mysterious squadron.

He didn't understand why the force on the opposite side, which was clearly only one company in size, could block the attack of a battalion of Indian troops.

Nor would he have thought that soon, he and the following British team would witness an "unequal battle between civilized people and barbaric countries"!!
