Chapter 260: Ambush and annihilate the British army

The Burmese expansion strategy was quickly formulated, and the Southwestern Front immediately sent a batch of weapons and ammunition enough to arm 100,000 indigenous soldiers to the Kokang Kingdom again.

At the same time, large quantities of grain and other items of life that were of little value and were indeed useful to the Burmese natives were brought to the Kokang Kingdom again in order to buy the hearts and minds of the natives.

After receiving the information that the British army was about to invade, the Kokang Kingdom soon entered a state of war mobilization, and 20,000 indigenous soldiers were mobilized.

Liu Bochen, commander-in-chief of the Kokang Defense Force, sent scouts to reconnoiter on the path of the British army.

Liu Bochen was full of confidence in this battle, the British army traveled a long way, or entered the mountains and jungles to fight, and although the Kokang Defense Army was only a newly established army, it had 3,000 mercenaries, and these mercenaries were the strongest soldiers in the Southwest Military Region.

There are not many opportunities for actual combat in the Southwest Military Region, so the military region sent the most elite soldiers to Kokang, and this army is actually a jungle combat special force subordinate to the military region, which is one of the actions of the military region to verify jungle operations.

The Kokang Wehrmacht is familiar with the terrain, and is good at jungle warfare, and has the advantage of individual weapons, as well as communication advantages, etc., which cannot win against the British army, so Liu Bochen feels that he has to collapse himself with a pistol.

…… On the Irrawaddy River, a group of British steamers are sailing in the river, and the ships are full of British and Burmese indigenous soldiers, these British soldiers look at the beautiful scenery along the river, one by one, as if they are on an outing, and they do not have the slightest sense of facing war.

Edward was the commander of the British army, and life in Burma was a little more uneventful than his colleagues in Europe, but at least he didn't have to go to the brutal battlefield for the sake of war.

These Burmese natives did not know how to fight at all, and even if there was a rebellion in northern Burma, Edward was absolutely sure that the rebellious natives would be put down.

Standing on the deck of the ship, Edward's mind was already dreaming of the vision of reaching northern Burma, and the natives would surely be beaten all over the mountain! Thinking that Edward also instructed the reporters on the side to take more pictures later, so that the battle he commanded would be recorded in the military history of the British Empire.

On the way, Edward changed boats once, all the way to Myitkyina, where the Irrawaddy River was no longer passable, nearly 15,000 British troops unloaded supplies and ammunition, found a few suitable indigenous guides, and held an incomplete map, Edward repaired in Myitkyina for three days before marching north with his troops, and drilled into the Myitkyina area.

However, the British army led by Edward entered the mountains for two days and was soon attacked by harassment.

On this day, the British army marched to a jungle area, and suddenly several gunshots were heard in the jungle, and several British officers fell to the ground and died.

The British troops in front of them suddenly panicked.

"There are snipers, there are snipers," shouted a knowledgeable British soldier, who had quickly become a common branch ......of the military in Europe. First of all, Germany invited a group of instructors from China, and then Germany trained a lot of snipers and sent them to the battlefield.

After discovering the existence of snipers, Britain and France bought a lot of sniper rifles from China at a high price.

As soon as the British army was attacked, they immediately lay on the ground en masse, and a jungle tiger mercenary sniper with stripes on his face in the jungle grinned, and the bullets in the sniper rifle were shot out in one go, these British soldiers were so stupid that they just lay on the ground, isn't it as simple as killing chickens?

The British, who reacted, began to shoot indiscriminately into the jungle.

"Shift positions."

"Yes."

The gunfire in the jungle soon stopped, and several snipers quickly shifted their positions, and the British soldiers poked their heads out, but some did not dare to burrow into the dense jungle.

Hell knows what's inside!

In the jungle, a sniper squad was sneaking, Yang Xueming was one of them, he was already the captain at this time, and he said to a soldier in the squad: "What were you doing just now with those little minions lying on the ground?" ”

"That...... I think they're so good ......."

", it's useful to kill a little minion, if you want to kill, kill those valuable targets." Yang Xueming said to the team member.

"Yes, Captain, I see."

"Let's go to the front and don't make a mistake for a while."

"Yes."

The British troops in front of them returned to order after a period of panic and began to move on, but soon after they dared to go, the gunfire in the jungle rang out again.

Several more officers were shot and fell to the ground, causing the British to fall to the ground in a burst of fright.

The British officers in Burma still wore the conspicuous uniform, which was very convenient for sniping.

Yang Xueming crawled on the ground, aimed his gun at the jungle, aimed at a British officer who looked not a small rank, pulled the trigger, and then immediately shrank his head and ran!

The sniper attack made the British commander Edward furious, and ordered his soldiers to rush into the woods to eliminate the vile natives.

However, as soon as a group of British troops rushed into the woods, the sound of submachine guns rang out in the woods, a kind of submachine gun gunfire that they had never heard before, and the sound was so special that it was impossible to tell which kind of submachine gun it was.

After about a few minutes, the woods were quiet again.

It turns out that the sniper squad of the Jungle Tiger Mercenaries is equipped with a combat unit that specializes in dealing with storming into the jungle, and there are two members of the team who are armed with submachine guns.

As soon as the British rushed into the jungle, they were immediately met with merciless strafing, but they were swept away with guns with extremely slow fire, and there was no room for a counterattack.

When the British soldiers outside saw that there was no sound in the jungle, their faces couldn't help but change.

Seeing this, Edward hurriedly asked the officer to take off his conspicuous military uniform and change into the uniform worn by ordinary soldiers, so as not to be taken care of by the enemy.

The British continued to advance, only to be harassed more and more often, and they found that there were no less than a hundred snipers around, and they could be harassed at any time of the year.

The entire British army fell into a state of fear, and many British soldiers even had the idea of retreating.

But Commander Edward gritted his teeth, thinking that the other party was using despicable means, and only waiting to kill the opponent's lair could wipe out this bold kingdom in one fell swoop, so he urged the soldiers all the way forward.

It is not possible to snipe anywhere, but under the disturbance, the British army is uneasy. Edward didn't take it to heart, anyway, he was in the safest position in the whole army, and he also took off his conspicuous military uniform, it was not his death that he would die, as long as the rebellion was eliminated, then he would have military merit, and if he retreated, he would become a laughing stock.

The British marched with no idea that they would face an incomparably formidable enemy, and after three days in the mountains, they were disturbed and marched unusually slowly.

On this day, the British army advanced to a canyon area, and just as the British army was about to move forward, suddenly gunfire rang out, and the ambush on the canyon was exhausted.

The sound of heavy machine guns resounded over the valley, and the relentless bullets shot straight down from above, and the British troops below were suddenly caught off guard, and more than 10,000 British soldiers were rushing around, not knowing how to fight back.

Looking up, he saw that the gorge was full of enemies, and to Edward's surprise, these natives were very well armed, all of them were Mauser guns, as well as many heavy machine guns.

"This is definitely not a military force that an indigenous tribe can have~!" Edward shouted in his heart, but there was no time to think about it, and in a panic, Edward withdrew from the canyon with the remnants of his soldiers in confusion.

The canyon was already full of corpses, and at least 5,000 British soldiers had fallen in the canyon, and the intensity of their fire could be imagined.

On the canyon, Liu Bochen laughed, it turned out to be!

The choice of this place as an ambush site is not very hopeful, because if you scout carefully, you will not be able to get caught.

However, there was no loss if he was not hit, so Liu Bochen set up an ambush here with 2,000 men and set up twelve heavy machine guns on the top of the mountain.

"The British army has been ambushed, has suffered heavy losses at the moment, has withdrawn from the valley and is ready to intercept." Liu Bochen took out the walkie-talkie and shouted.

"Understood."

A voice came over the walkie-talkie.

Just as Edward withdrew from the valley with the remnants of his army, another unit suddenly came out of the same road, and the defeated British army was immediately frightened.

"Boom, boom, boom......" A group of cannonballs flew from the sky, accurately smashed into the crowd of British troops, and immediately blew up a group of British troops.

A group of indigenous soldiers lined up in a firing formation in the distance, and fired at the defeated British troops, who were shot and fell to the ground.

"Rush! Kill all the British colonists, liberate the Burmese people, and liberate long live the liberation......" a cry, and then the trumpet of the charge sounded suddenly.

Then a deafening shout was heard, and thousands of native soldiers rushed forward with bayonets.

The two sides soon entered a close-quarters hand-to-hand battle, but soon the British discovered that the natives had a batch of submachine guns in their hands, and when they approached, they swept at them, invincible and invincible.

What submachine guns did the British army in Burma! Some submachine guns were also used in the European theater, and when it was their turn to equip them with submachine guns, they immediately ate a big stuffy stick.

The entire British army collapsed in an instant, some ran back to the canyon in disarray, and some dropped their weapons and threw themselves on the ground in surrender.

Some wanted to resist stubbornly, but their comrades-in-arms were too weak, and they had no choice but to run around or surrender directly.

The armies of these colonies have always been pampered, have no combat effectiveness at all, and are not able to resist when they are ambushed.

Soon the British army was completely annihilated!

The battle lasted less than half an hour, and 15,000 British soldiers were killed, wounded, and surrendered. Commander Edward was likewise captured.

Soon entered the steps of cleaning up the battlefield, the Kokang army took a group of prisoners down, and also captured a large number of British weapons, British rifles are actually very good, as far as the bolt rifle is concerned, the British rifle is the fastest rate of fire, and it is not too far behind in the face of semi-automatic rifles.

The losses were quickly counted, and the staff officer reported to Liu Bochen: "Report to the commander, our side has lost one hundred and thirty soldiers, all of whom are indigenous soldiers, and there are no other losses. ”

"Good!" Liu Bochen nodded, this time the annihilation of the British army, it was all indigenous soldiers who rushed to the front, and the British army did not resist much, so the losses were extremely small.
