Chapter 548: Dandan Mountain
When Zhou Lin's team left Yangon, the spies had already reported the information out of Yangon.
Some of the smaller forces have adopted a strategy of evasion.
There are even people who come to visit the places where Zhou Lin's troops pass by.
Along the way, Zhou Lin collected several pieces of jade.
But Zhou Lin also gave a gift back: guns and ammunition prepared in advance.
These guns and ammunition were all brought by Chang Liang from China, and they were brought over by more than 10,000 people who were newly transferred to Chang Liang before leaving Mingzhu.
After arriving in Burma, the weapons and equipment of these people were all changed.
The remaining worn-out weapons were put in storage.
This time, when Zhou Lin came to Binma, Yamada asked Zhou Lin to bring a thousand as a gift to befriend the local warlords.
Those who received the guns and ammunition smiled, and they couldn't imagine that Zhou Lin was so generous.
Although it was only a few dozen guns, these dozens of guns increased their strength by 30 percent, so they took out food and medicine one after another and sent Zhou Lin's army out of the country.
But there were also some people's eyes on Zhou Lin, mainly on these thousands of guns.
In a camp in Pyinmana, three people sit at a tea table.
"Commander, that group of people has already entered the mouth of the Xitang River Valley, so they stopped and did not continue to advance." A man on the right said.
The man in the middle looked at the map on the table: "They didn't dare to enter, they were afraid of being attacked, and once they entered the valley, it would be difficult to retreat." ”
The man on the left said, "They must come in, and he will not dare to disobey the orders of the Japanese." Even if you know about the volcano, you have to cross the volcano. ”
"Commander, should we vote for him? That's a few thousand guns, and with these weapons, we're going to double our strength. The man on the right said.
The person on the left is worried: "If the Japanese know about it, then there will be no place for us to live in Burma." ”
The man in the middle sat and thought about it for a long time, but did not speak.
The person on the right saw that the person in the middle did not speak, and knew that he was embarrassed: "Commander, let's disguise ourselves as the Chinese Expeditionary Force and ambush them." When the battle was over, we said to the outside world that Zhou Lin had a fierce battle with the Chinese Expeditionary Force and the whole army was annihilated, and we rushed to the rescue when we heard the news, but we were one step late, and only killed thousands of Chinese Expeditionary Force. ”
The man in the middle seemed to have made up his mind: "Good! According to this idea, let the first division go to Dandanshan to set up an ambush, and only wait for Zhou Lin to enter the Dandanshan valley, and then attack them together. ”
The person on the left hurriedly said: "Commander, there are only 2,700 people in the first division, and I am worried that they will not be able to eat the next Zhou Lin." ”
The middleman pointed to the map and said: "There are no more troops on both sides of Dandan Mountain, and it is easy to be overwhelmed." Besides, as long as Zhou Lin's more than 2,000 people entered the valley, and the more than 2,700 people of the first division were condescending, killing them should be 80 percent sure. ”
The person on the left is still not at ease: "The disparity in strength is too small." There is not a great deal of certainty. ”
The man in the middle thought for a while: "Then transfer the two regiments of the second division over, and more than 4,000 people will have a better chance of winning against 2,000 people." ”
Such a decision was finally adopted, and the three of them immediately arranged the action.
Outside the mouth of the Xitang River Valley, Zhou Lin ordered his troops to set up camp.
Because it was too complicated inside, Zhou Lin didn't dare to go to the valley without knowing the depth.
Therefore, he sent Li 18 and Wu Yonglin to the valley to investigate the situation, while the large army stopped outside the valley and did not move.
When it was almost dark, Li 18 and Wu Yonglin came back.
"The rest of the place inside is normal, but in Dandanshan, there is an abnormality."
After listening to Li Shiba's words, Zhou Lin immediately took the map.
I soon found Dandan Mountain, which was a good place to lay an ambush.
"On both sides of the mountain, there are more than 3,000 people buried. There were about 500 people in ambush at the inside exit of Dandanshan, and there were also 500 people at the entrance of Dandanshan. Li 18 told the situation one by one.
"Who knows?" Zhou Lin asked.
"I don't know! They have several military flags, which are the flags of the Chinese Expeditionary Force. ”
"Is it a man of the 200th Division?" Long Chen didn't dare to expose it, but he was also excited.
Li 18 said: "No, they speak Burmese. They all speak Burmese. ”
Zhou Lin smiled: "This is someone who wants to eat us under the banner of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, and they have taken a fancy to our weapons and equipment." ”
Chen Long said: "Director Zhou, how to act, you give an order." ”
Zhou Lin pointed to the map and said: "Behind Dandanshan, there is a hilly land, but Dandanshan is a canyon mouth, but if you want to think of Pinmana, you must pass through Dandanshan Canyon." So we have no other way to go. ”
Everyone nodded, unless the troops retreated, they couldn't avoid Dandanshan.
Zhou Lin said: "When it gets dark, we will advance to the canyon." ”
Chen Long hurriedly said: "We don't have an advantage during the day, and you have to go in at night." ”
"During the day, the enemy will definitely be able to see how many of us there are. At night, they can't see clearly. We used a company of troops, dragging the formation, as if it were all our troops, to attract the enemy's attention. Then we used two battalions to eat the 500 enemies at the entrance to Dandanshan. Three more battalions were used to go around behind the large army of the enemy in ambush, concentrate their fire, and shoot downward. ”
Chen Long clapped his hands happily: "And the two battalions that ate the imported 500 people went into the valley to support that company, and in this way, one shot down from the mountain, and the other shot from the bottom up, destroying the enemy at Dandan Mountain." ”
"That's right! Concentrate artillery fire on the enemy in the mountains, and ask them to remember this lesson forever. Zhou Lin slammed his fist on the table.
Soon, Long Chen gave the battle order.
More than 2,000 people ate at half past five in the afternoon, after which they were ready for battle.
Zhou Lin planned to lure a company of the enemy in thirty cars, each of which had bunkers prepared to prevent attacks on both sides of the mountain.
"When you hear the gunshots, you immediately turn off the lights and organize a return fire." Zhou Lin told them to pay attention to their safety.
As soon as it was dark, Chen Long led three battalions to climb the back of Dandan Mountain from the left road, while the other two battalions, under the leadership of Zhou Lin, quietly surrounded the 500 people one mile outside the entrance of Dandanshan.
As soon as six o'clock in the evening passed, it was getting dark, and at this time, the company that had entered the valley to lure the enemy drove into the valley in a car.
When their follow-up convoy left the entrance fifty meters, three red flares lit up the mountain, which was the signal for the enemy to attack.
Seeing the flare go up, all the cars that entered the valley immediately turned off their ignitions, and all the lights went out.
At this time, bullets from both sides of the mountain were fired at the car.
Soon, however, the mountains lost their target, and they could not see the situation at the bottom.
"This week, Lin is better than a rabbit." The division commander of the attacker on the mountain was saying.
And after the shooting on the hill stopped, the muzzle of the gun outside the entrance to the valley rang out.
More than 700 people led by Zhou Lin started a massacre against the 500 people who were defenseless.
