Chapter 356: War of attrition

"Loot the enemy's supplies and strike at the enemy's rear garrisons!" The seven cars seized were all fresh vegetables and polished rice noodles. There is also a whole car of beef and mutton.

Wen Liang was unceremonious and ordered all the troops behind enemy lines to act! Of course, the sniper mission went on as usual, which would have placed a great burden on the British army. In less than a day, the British commander at the front finally couldn't stand it anymore and sent heavy troops on the defensive.

"Hmph, don't think about it that way!" Wen Liang told the troops: "Shoot a shot and change places, and all groups should pay attention to cooperation, so that the British army will not dare to act rashly!" ”

"Yes!"

Burmese natives don't know how to fight, and when they hear the sound of artillery, they run around. Alexander, who came to Burma for the second time, believed that soon he would occupy the entire southeastern peninsula!

And yet he was wrong, very wrong. The sneak attack at the beginning gave him a little advantage. When Burma was facing the death of the new country and the need to be enslaved, the new Burmese government issued a very strict order: "Raise troops for a thousand days and use them for a while, and those who dare to retreat will be killed!" ”

Burma has two tank divisions, as well as rocket artillery regiments and a large number of anti-aircraft weapons. After Wen Liang arrived, these soldiers broke out with combat effectiveness that cannot be underestimated! The Prime Minister of Myanmar lamented: "What we lack is real commanders!" ”

"Not exactly!" The commander of the regiment looked at the chaotic Burmese soldiers and pointed to his troops: "The quality of the soldiers is very important, they are soldiers for food, not to protect the country!" ”

"The quality of a soldier?" Myanmar's prime minister pondered.

"An army without culture is the most stupid army!" The commander of the first regiment once again explained to the leader: "All the high-quality members of our army have graduated from universities, and ordinary troops must study hard for three years as long as they participate in it. In the end, all those who remained were high school diplomas or above.

And most of you in the Burmese army don't even know your own name. A small number of literate people do not systematically study military knowledge. Once you enter the battlefield, you will not quickly comprehend the combat intent, let alone seize the fighter to destroy the enemy! ”

"yes!" The Prime Minister of Myanmar sighed, these soldiers are idle people. I don't know how to do business, and I can't learn agricultural technology. They joined the army in order to make ends meet.

"Who is literate and wants to be a soldier? Don't you have an old saying in China: A good man is not a soldier, and a good iron is not a nail! "The Prime Minister of Myanmar was surprised, it seems that there is a big gap with the Chinese culture he understands!

"You're talking about the old yellow calendar!" The commander of the first regiment smiled slightly and pointed to his soldiers: "They can fly planes, tanks, automobiles, warships on the battlefield, and they can manufacture all weapons and equipment and machinery in the factory. Even when ammunition is scarce, they will use local resources to build some home-made bombs and mines to fight the enemy. ”

"Education for all, education for all!" The prime minister of Myanmar seems to understand that the quality of the nation must be changed in order to prevent the country from being invaded by foreign enemies.

At the command of the British army, Alexander had no choice but to send another telegram to the country, reporting the difficulties he was experiencing. There were not many dead and disabled, and most of them had their legs chopped off by rifles, and even if they were healed, they would be crippled!

"What's even more frightening is that we are facing constant harassment from the rear. The front line could not be replenished with food, and the soldiers were already war-weary! Alexander sent a message, fell into his chair and sighed: "The sun never sets, the empire has fallen!" ”

At this time, Wen Liang was shouting with the strength of a brigade of the British army. He occupied positions in the mountains and passes and first blew up the marching tanks. The junction was blocked, and the British could no longer move forward!

On both sides of the cliff, the cold guns ran cold and kept shooting. Wen Liang has mobilized his forces to trap this group of people here alive.

"Report, a battalion brought a division of the Burmese army to report for duty!"

"Report, the second battalion is here with rocket artillery and mortar units!"

"Report, the three battalions have concentrated one corps, which has blocked the retreat of the British army!"

"Good!" Wen Liang said to the commander of the first regiment: "Don't take the initiative to attack, ask the British army to come and reinforce!" ”

"Yes!" This is a siege tactic, mainly to strike at the reinforcements. The commander of the regiment looked at a brigade in the mountain road and smiled: "Destroy them, only use rocket artillery and one ammunition base." ”

"Blow up their tanks first, let's shoot the opposing machine gunners with sniper rifles!" Wen Liang will not keep the opponent's weapons, which will cause certain casualties to his troops.

"Yes!"

"Boom!" An incendiary grenade was dropped, and a tank burned rapidly. Immediately afterwards, a large number of grenades pounced on the British troops in the mountain road like locusts. Their tankmen, gunners and commanders all fled for their lives, forgetting to pick up their infantry weapons.

The scorching heat and the unpleasant smell of charred corpses, gunpowder, and diesel fuel came to their nostrils, and most of the people hid on the edge of the cliff retching. Fortunately, the attack seemed to have stopped.

"You can't fight anymore, fight again, these British, who are afraid of death, should raise their hands and surrender!" Wen Liang knew that there was no shame in the surrender of the British army, and the commander was allowed to automatically lay down his arms under certain circumstances.

"Report, the British armored division is coming!"

"Report, two other infantry brigades are coming!"

"Order, the third battalion will open the intersection and let the British army meet!" Wen Liang said with a smile: "Remember, don't set up an ambush in the direction of the forest, force them inside!" ”

"Yes!"

"Report, the British armored division rushed into the mountain pass, ready to meet the evacuation of the British troops in the valley!"

"Detonate!"

"Yes! Initiation! ”

There was a loud bang, and the mountain collapsed halfway. The British were saddened to find that they had been besieged in a narrow mountain pass. The British commander sensed that something was wrong and ordered all the tanks to be abandoned and prepare to cross the mountains and forests to the territory of Thailand.

The two brigades trapped outside the mountains also thought of such a trick, and they looked at the heads of people all over the mountains, and could only choose weak places to flee for their lives. But they don't know that the dangers in the mountains and forests are also terrifying!

"Report, the British army threw away the armored car and has set off for the woodland!"

"Cheer them off from behind with the sound of gunfire!" Wen Liang is very serious, holding a telescope and constantly observing.

"Yes!"

"Report, two British brigades have converged with the armored division, request the next move!"

"Farewell with mortars, the troops stay outside and don't move!"

"Yes!"

"My troops! God, they're all finished! Alexander wailed incessantly in Rangoon. Three brigades and an armored division, almost all of his men. Once these people die, his military career will be completely over!

"I hope they can escape from the forest!" The adjutant kept scratching the cross on his chest as if in prayer.

Having lived in Burma for several years, Alexander knew of the dangers of the primeval forests. He did not expect that the Burmese army would dare to send all its men and horses to besiege his troops.

"Withdraw, we'll withdraw to the warship!" Having become a single commander, Alexander did not dare to stay here for a moment. He hurriedly took the staff and the troops defending the city, and ran towards the warship in a gray manner.

In the British government, William Slim was a very clever commander. He received a telegram from Alexander that he should withdraw from Burma. But the Queen of England disagreed, believing that Burma could no longer be lost as a colony.

"Send troops? Myanmar has hundreds of thousands of troops, how many troops can we send? "Slim has just reduced his troops, is he going to expand them now?

"Recruit those World War II veterans, as long as they are willing to go, they will be well paid." The queen seemed to have a plan in mind, and said to her commander.

At the end of World War II, a large number of soldiers left the battlefield and lost their jobs. William Slim thought carefully and said, "It can't be less than 300,000." ”

"No, we have to recruit 500,000 at a time, and only with heavy troops can we defend the vast land of Burma!"

β€œYES!”

The British in the woods, they followed the direction of the compass to the southeast. Although it is spring, the rainforest has a temperature of 378 degrees, the hot climate and a variety of mosquitoes are numerous.

The British army, which had no experience in surviving in the wild, soon ran out of water, and immediately afterwards, the grain and food were also consumed. They could only devour the leaves and weeds, and walked forward with heavy steps.

Finally, a light rain came, and everyone picked up their steel helmets, and then the rain was enjoyed to their heart's content. God seemed to have mercy on them, and it began to rain heavily. And these people who don't know what to do are scolded!

A flash flood broke out, and the beasts were frightened. The soldiers unceremoniously picked up their guns and shot the animals in the forest with their bullets! When it got dark, the rain finally stopped. The troops slowly closed their eyes as they watched the boiling river lean against the trunks of the trees.

"Dada-da-da!" A burst of gunfire woke them up, and they saw a few figures in the forest at night.

"Chase!" The British division commander knew that these sneak attackers were constantly sneaking up behind, and once they caused panic among the large troops, they were afraid that it would be even more difficult to escape from this vast forest.

At night, who would dare to pursue in the dark forest? The British division commander shouted for a long time, and all the troops were pretending to be deaf and dumb and standing still. He was furious and about to get angry, but countless lights began to flicker around him.

"Fire!" Everyone was surprised, such a fire, why don't they all burn to death here?

"Quick, if you cross the river, you will live!" This time, the words of the British division commander were very obedient, and everyone rushed to the river without stopping, and no one noticed that the first group of people had been swallowed up by a violent flash flood!

Since ancient times, water and fire have been ruthless, and the British army is really sad, with a monstrous fire behind them and a rolling torrent in front of them. They jumped into the water one after another, preferring to meet the Dragon King rather than deal with the Fire God!

The British division commander stood by the river in amazement, and for a while he pulled out his pistol and aimed it at his temple. None of his guards came to stop him, and they all thought miserably: "It's good to die, but it's even worse to be alive!" ”

"Phew!" The gun rang out, and the British division commander was surprised: "Why didn't I die?" Hey? Where is my gun? It hurts, why does your wrist hurt so much? ”

"There is a path to the north, remember, don't invade other people's countries in this life!" A clear English voice came from the forest, and there was silence in the forest where only the sound of water and fire could be heard.

"Quick, head north!" The British division commander knew that it was his enemy who did not let him commit suicide, but pointed out a way for him to escape for his life!

"Battalion commander, why save him!" When the British left, a force of blood wolves sprang out of the woods.

"He will tell the invaders that the only way to die on someone else's land is to die!" The commander of the second battalion of the first regiment said to the soldier with the walkie-talkie on his back: "Tell the regiment commander that the main force of the British army has been wiped out!" ”

"Yes!"
