Brigadier General Kakran stood in the headquarters and clearly saw this scene in the telescope on the front-line positions. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Info has been in the army for many years, and he immediately understands that this is a precursor to a major rout of the army.

"Order the reserves, take the bayonets, and take the attacking troops down!" At this moment when the machine guns and artillery were not very effective, Brigadier General Cakran immediately gave the only order that could be used. At this juncture, there is indeed nothing better than white-knuckle warfare to stop the offensive momentum of the Chinese, to buy time to organize the troops and re-establish the defense.

The retreating British attack troops were already exhausted, and the hard fighting had already exhausted their energy, and at this time, they were overwhelmed by the wolf-like Chinese army's counterattack, and many of them gasped and simply sat on the ground with their heads in their hands. Wei Jinxian was still in the lead, and the British soldiers sitting on the ground with their heads on their hands were clearly not his target, and the machine guns fired rapidly in his hands, pouring bullets wherever there was resistance. In the past two days, the officers and men of the reconnaissance company have been full of energy and held their breath, and as the commander of the first company, he is even more so.

A large group of British soldiers with bayonets greeted them, Wei Jinxian immediately turned the muzzle, and the machine gun began to fire violently, and the muzzle began to shoot new flames, and the officers and soldiers around him also followed suit, constantly pouring dense bullets at the oncoming British troops. The British reserve team mustered up the courage of white-knuckle combat and rushed forward, where did they think that they would receive such a heavy blow head-on. This is simply a one-sided massacre, in the face of a reconnaissance company equipped with a large number of light machine guns, submachine guns and other melee firepower weapons, the British soldiers often do not even have time to pull the bolt after firing a shot and are beaten into a hornet's nest, this kind of scene is as cruel as it is.

Watching the comrades in the front row fall to the ground one after another, the British troops who held on in the bloody wind and bullets couldn't stand it anymore, and the British soldiers in the back row turned around and ran away after letting out a ghost scream. Brigadier General Kachran, who had witnessed all this in the rear, no longer had the calmness and reserve of the past, and the two battalions in his hands collapsed like this, and the brigadier general's whole face began to turn pale and pale, and he quickly ordered the only battalion at hand, which was still fully formed, to arrange a defensive line on the periphery of his headquarters.

The confusion of the British army emboldened Wei Fakui, who was engaged in the attack later, and he led the second battalion to drive a large number of British troops backwards, and anyone who tried to stop and resist was met with his merciless blows, and they fought from left to right and from right to left, and slaughtered the fleeing British troops on the periphery of Brigadier General Cochran's headquarters. Brigadier General Kakran did not let or dare to let the rebels storm his new line of defense, and the commodore general simply carried out indiscriminate attacks on the retreating people, which inevitably injured many of his own soldiers, but at least he could be regarded as preventing the impact of the Chinese army.

As Coqueran gradually stabilized his position, the offensive of Wei Fakui and Wei Jinxian was quickly contained, and the situation gradually began to change in the direction of Coqueron's favor. After all, the number of Chinese troops participating in the counterattack was too small, and under the reaction and the desperate counterattack of the steady stream of British reinforcements, the Chinese army's offensive began to feel more and more difficult. The two commanders, Wei Fakui and Wei Jinxian, who were aware of the changes on the battlefield, decided to withdraw almost at the same time.

At this moment, a loud charge sounded behind him. The sudden sound of the charge horn shocked the British army, and the British army, which thought that the Chinese army would counterattack on a large scale, hurriedly reduced its forces and prepared to deal with the next wave of attacks by the Chinese army. Taking advantage of this gap, Wei Fakui and Wei Jinxian quickly withdrew to their positions with their troops.

After determining the withdrawal of the Chinese troops, Brigadier General Kakran, who had gathered his troops and counted the losses, had a gloomy and frightening face. This fierce battle caused him heavy losses, one battalion deployed to attack the front line was completely disabled, and the battalion that went to meet the attacking force lost more than half. After a day's attack, the direct loss of more than 2,000 soldiers, plus yesterday's losses, only one of the five infantry battalions was left at this time, which means that the loss of the entire brigade has been close to one-half.

This tragic battle devastated the vitality of the Cochran Brigade and disrupted the next offensive of the British army. After receiving the report that Brigadier General Cochran had been counterattacked, White launched a more fierce attack on the position in front of him while sending reinforcements, only to be beaten by Tao Zhen and Zheng Junlin, who were waiting for him. This made the morale of the British army more depressed, but also made Major General White more irritable, the current situation of the empire in Burma is becoming more and more erosive, but his troops are still blocked here, take a small Prome can do nothing, when did the Chinese become so able to fight? Could it really be that the revolution has changed them?

Compared with the gloomy gloom on the British side, the success of the counterattack made the Eighth Regiment very excited, and the battle was a great victory for the British Cochran Brigade at the cost of losing more than 100 men. Despite this, Huang Yuying, who was the commander of the regiment, was in a heavy mood at this time, and the two consecutive days of fighting had already caused him to lose thousands of soldiers, and he was really unsure about whether he could hold on until the reinforcements arrived. Putting aside the worries in her heart, Huang Yuying reported today's battle situation to the war zone.

Huang Yuying will transfer to him every day the battle situation of the Eighth Regiment in Prome, and after receiving the news of the counterattack victory of the Eighth Regiment today, he is more confident in holding Promei Cai Ye.

"Tell Huang Yuying that as long as I can keep Promei, I will personally ask for credit for him!" Cai Ye looked extremely excited, and hurriedly ordered the staff officers behind him: "Order Luo Peijin, speed up the intensity of the attack, and you must take Pinmana today!" ”

Breathing a sigh of relief, he only listened to Cai Ye continue: "Taking advantage of the fact that a large number of British troops are pinned down on the front line of Donghu and Prome, all units must step up their attacks. In addition, tell Li Hongxiang not only to bear the pressure of the British army one-sidedly, but also to learn to put proper pressure on the British army. ”

"Now that Donghu has the reinforcements of the 12th Division, he can provide effective support to Prome as much as possible."

"Commander, the pressure of the British army in the direction of Donghu is even greater than that of Prome, and the 12th Division is mostly recruited, and the combat effectiveness is probably very limited, and Division Commander Li is probably not easy." As soon as Cai Yi's words fell, the staff officer hesitated for a while before speaking.

"What you say is true, but what we have to do now in Donghu is to maintain a coercive posture, to make it look like it is going south at any time, and to force it not to increase its troops to Prome." Although Cai Ye can be regarded as a high-ranking position now, he has never been stingy with mentioning the young officers around him: "By the way, what is your name?" ”

"Report to the commander, Captain Staff Officer Zhu Peide." The staff officer said loudly.

"Captain Zhu Peide, go and deliver the order!"

"Yes!"

Cai's orders were soon issued to various places, and the battlefield in Burma was suddenly much more intense.

The artillery fire inside and outside the city of Binmana on the central line was scattered, and the soldiers of the regiments of the fourth division were bleeding the city. After receiving Cai Yi's order, Luo Peijin did not dare to slack off at all, and personally led the divisional reconnaissance battalion to join the assault on Pinmana. On the northern front of Mandalay, Lan Tianwei also came to the front-line position and commanded the two troops of the 2nd Division and the 10th Division to begin the siege of the city. The defenders of Mandalay were defeated and repeatedly asked for help, but at this time, the British army, which was blocked by the Chinese army and could not advance an inch on the front line with Donghu and Prome, was powerless against the war situation of the British Empire's army in the north.

On 24 August, the changes that had taken place on the battlefields on the northern and central fronts had long attracted the attention of General Charles, the commander-in-chief of the British army in Burma, who was greatly dissatisfied with Major General White's delay in taking Prome, and sent sternly worded telegrams urging him to take Prome as soon as possible and open the passage to the north.

After Huang Yuying's counterattack was won, the British army, which had suffered heavy casualties, was rarely stopped for a night. But the next day, General White, who received a telegram from General Charles, was in a hurry, and he was not sure which direction was the main attack and which direction was the assist, but attacked on all fronts, with only one purpose, to conquer Prome and completely annihilate the Chinese defenders.

At the same time, Huang Yuying, Du Zhongqi and others in the city couldn't sit still, and today the British army was attacking on all fronts like crazy. On the main position in the south of the city, Tao Zhen had repelled five attacks by the British army, but even so, the British army did not look like they wanted to stop at all, and each time they retreated, they immediately replaced a group of fresh troops to attack again, and the position was broken through several times and blocked several times.

"Report to the regiment commander, I am Tao Zhen, the enemy offensive is very fierce, my battalion has suffered heavy casualties, ask for reinforcements, ask for reinforcements." Tao Zhen's voice came from the walkie-talkie, and Huang Yuying knew that Chengnan was no longer good. He knew this battalion commander who he valued the most very well, and until the last moment, Tao Zhen would never take the initiative to ask for reinforcements.

"Order, one battalion and one company of the seventh regiment to reinforce the south of the city."

At this moment, Huang Yuying's face was pale, her beard was unshaven, her eye sockets were deep, and the military uniform on her body was wrinkled. Although the situation of the first battalion was critical, he was not very worried, and it was Chengbei that really disturbed him. As the first Abt Brigade to start fighting with the Eighth Regiment, although he was embarrassed by a night attack on the night of his arrival on the battlefield, it was precisely because of this that among the three British brigade commanders, he knew the strength of the Chinese army in front of him best. And this has been confirmed in the battles of the past few days, and the brigade under his command has fought the best and suffered the least casualties. Sure enough, not long after, just when Huang Yuying was worried, a voice came out of the current sound of the walkie-talkie.

"Report to the head of the regiment, the north of the city, the north of the city has been breached, the commander of the Zheng battalion has been killed, and the instructor has asked for reinforcements!"
