Chapter 262: The British Army Enters the Trap

Mi Adam is so far from sarin! At least a thousand kilometers away, this is indeed a test of endurance, but the 1st Division will sail south, as long as the British army is lured to the predetermined battlefield.

Zhang Daoyi first ran north with the British army, and at this time a telegram came from the 06th Brigade of the Third Division that they had set up a pontoon bridge in Lijiang and could pass through at any time.

The 3rd Division was divided into two divisions, the 05th Brigade led by Zhang Daoyi was wandering on the west bank, while the 06th Brigade was wandering on the east bank.

After receiving the telegram, Zhang Daoyi rushed to the location of the pontoon bridge overnight, but the British troops behind could not withstand such a toss, and they were tired of chasing for two days.

Seeing that the British army was not chasing, Zhang Daoyi also fetched food on the spot to maintain military supplies, and there happened to be a small town in front of him.

After running for two days, there are still 10,000 people left in Zhang Daoyi's troops, in addition to the 5,000 natives brought out, there are also 5,000 natives who hold on, and they are all usable cannon fodder.

However, the consumption of so many people is also large, and there is no food at the moment.

At this time, it is already December, and the harvest season in Myanmar has just passed, and Myanmar is like spring all year round, and agricultural products are abundant, anyway, as long as there are people, there must be food.

When you enter the town, the first thing you have to rule out is whether there are Chinese in the local area.

If there are Chinese, they need to be taken care of and must not be disturbed. There are also some Chinese in Myanmar, but the number of Chinese is much smaller than that of countries such as Vietnam, and most of them are concentrated in the northern region, such as the central part of Myanmar. In recent years, Chinese businessmen have been running around, but they generally do not come to such a town.

After the investigation, there were no Chinese, and Zhang Daoyi ordered a large-scale killing.

Addiction to robbery in a foreign country is a problem that Zhang Daoyi is aware of, and it is also a problem that he personally experienced. However, the Führer had taught them that it was not wrong to use any means against aliens, and the only mistake was that they did not hide their behavior and damaged the international image of the army.

"Now that we are indigenous to Burma, it is not considered to be a destruction of the overall image." Zhang Daoyi thought about it and smiled, and ordered to rob.

Zhang Daoyi is no longer engaged in a snowball plan that does not refuse those who come and those who go, but wraps up those young and strong natives while distributing food, and allows them to forcibly join the so-called 'Burmese Anti-British People's Army'.

Now there is a shortage of bait for the British to gnaw!

Anyway, it doesn't matter if the Burmese natives die more, and when the Han people travel south again, there will be much more room for survival.

Because there was not too much time, when the British army came to chase again, Zhang Daoyi only coerced about 2,000 indigenous young men, and he originally wanted to coerce the natives of the whole town, but unfortunately there was not enough time.

The British army began to chase, and Zhang Daoyi also ran away again, always hanging twenty kilometers in front of the British army.

Out of the town, Zhang Daoyi ran for another day, and finally ran to the place where the pontoon bridge was, and more than 10,000 indigenous troops crossed the river safely from the pontoon bridge and ran from the west bank of the Lijiang River to the east bank of the Lijiang River.

Further north, there is a narrow corridor with Lijiang to the west and a mountain range to the east.

When the British army caught up behind, Zhang Daoyi's 05 Brigade happened to almost completely cross the pontoon bridge, and Zhang Daoyi let the following pretend to be panicked, as if he was so flustered that he even forgot to destroy the pontoon bridge.

The British troops behind saw that the pontoon bridge was not destroyed, and they couldn't help but be overjoyed, and the 05 Brigade chasing Zhang Daoyi also crossed the pontoon bridge behind it.

"Division commander, the 06 Brigade has already built a trench fifty kilometers away, and most of it has been repaired." The staff officer of the Third Division reported to Zhang Daoyi.

"What about the First Division! Did you go south? Zhang Daoyi asked.

"The 1st Division has already moved south, just ten kilometers upstream, just waiting for the British to cross the river and intercept their way." The staff officer said: "Our task now is to lead the British army north, and after converging with the 06th Brigade, we will give the British army a meat sandwich with the first division." ”

"Hehe, if you hit on both sides, you will hit on both sides, and what kind of meat sandwich bun." Zhang Daoyi laughed and ordered: "Throw out the two thousand natives who were held yesterday and let the puppies behind taste it." ”

"Yes."

…… The 23,000 British troops were in pursuit, and the commander Charlie was constantly urging the natives to pursue in front, these natives were too lazy and were not willing to speed up the pursuit at all, and the only thing that made Charlie very pleased was that the soldiers from the homeland were willing to pursue desperately, because it was rumored that the natives in front of them had looted a lot of property.

"Sir, look, there's a pontoon bridge ahead, and they're crossing the bridge." A British soldier shouted at Charlie.

"Rush up and don't let them destroy the pontoon." Charlie shouted, and the British troops in front hurriedly rushed forward, and the indigenous rebels were really panicked, and the British troops rushing in front took control of the pontoon bridge without blowing a blow.

The native rebels fled, but not far, when suddenly the native rebels stopped, and some of the natives drove a group of natives with a mess of weapons at them.

"Are they dying?" Some British troops were puzzled.

"Damn, that's when they want to hold us down so they have time to escape, these indigenous rebels are so hateful." Charlie gritted his teeth, in his opinion, their pursuit speed was very fast, if it weren't for these indigenous rebels every time they resorted to this method to hinder their pursuit, they would have caught up with those indigenous rebels long ago.

"Sir, what should I do? It would take us at least two hours to cross the pontoon, which would have made them run far. The adjutant asked Charlie.

"It's okay, this time they did something stupid, the part that crossed the river first was for me to attack, anyway, it will take us at least two hours to cross the bridge, enough time to kill." Charlie said.

"Yes." The adjutant answered and hurriedly conveyed the order.

The British troops crossing the pontoon bridge had already lined up to shoot, and one of the British commanders shouted, "Ready...... Crazy Minute...... Shoot~! ”

The Enfield rifle has the largest ammunition capacity of any pull-bolt rifle, and the British army's crazy one-minute tactic can shoot thirty rounds in one minute, and the number of shooters can even achieve thirty-five rounds or more.

Gunfire began to ring out intensively, and the British fired a dense barrage.

The Burmese natives in the distance trembled on their feet, but they had to move forward, because there were people behind them who were coercing them, and if they dared to run around, they would shoot them, and they could only run forward.

However, when the British began this crazy one-minute tactic, hearing bullets flying around them and people falling to the ground and dying, the Burmese natives could no longer bear it anymore and began to run around the riverbank, and the scene looked very chaotic.

The soldiers who were coercing the Burmese natives to advance were at this time cat's waist and ran straight back.

The British troops in the distance were still firing bullets frantically, and this crazy one-minute tactic did not consider the accuracy of the surname, but shot indiscriminately at the crowded places.

In fact, this tactic is more chicken, although the rate of fire is very high, but the accuracy is not high, than the rate of fire is better than a machine gun to sweep, that is more efficient, the firepower is much more fierce.

As soon as the British army's crazy one-minute tactical time passed, all they saw was the Burmese natives running around.

Charlie took the binoculars and looked at the natives running around, spat and scolded: "These damn natives are really vulnerable, they are too good at escaping." ”

About two hours later, the British troops all crossed the pontoon bridge, and then pursued Zhang Daoyi's 05th Brigade without resting, but what the British did not know was that only an hour after they left the riverbank, a fleet of ships came from upstream, and these ships were all captured from Myitkyina and the banks of the river.

The 1st Division of the Kokang National Defense Force, the most elite 1st Division of the Kokang National Defense Force, landed on the ship, and there was no indigenous people in the whole division, it was composed of the children of the Han Chinese and the jungle tiger mercenaries.

The division not only has advanced individual weapons, but also machine guns and other heavy weapons. However, there is still a lack of heavy weapons compared to the regular army, for example, the artillery is composed of some outdated artillery, because it is impossible to transfer all the advanced artillery in the country, it will be too much.

If all the advanced artillery is transferred to Kokang, it is better to equip the Kokang Wehrmacht with tanks, which is basically tantamount to tearing up the face with Britain.

Although the Kokang National Defense Force has not been established for a long time, there are 3,000 jungle tiger mercenaries in the first division, which are the top soldiers in the three major military regions in the south.

After landing on the shore, the 1st Division made contact with the 3rd Division, and then followed the tail of the British army and advanced forward.

The 1st Division, with heavy weapons, did not march too fast, and the British were only concerned with chasing forward, not expecting a rebel army to appear behind them, and there were no scouts left.

As the pursuit continued, the British found themselves entering an increasingly narrow corridor along the riverbank, but the British were unfazed.

On the contrary, Charlie felt a burst of joy when he saw these rebels running here, this kind of terrain is too suitable for pursuit, as long as he catches up, he can wipe out the opponent here.

The 05th Brigade of the 3rd Division in front slowed down and ran, and the British were supposed to be two hours apart, but they almost caught up and only bit the 05th Brigade on the ass.

"Division commander, the first division has landed on the shore, and the 06th Brigade has dug trenches."

"Okay, give the order to speed up the march, get rid of the puppies behind, and we'll go into the trenches to stop the puppies." Zhang Daoyi laughed and ordered happily.

"Yes!"

Zhang Daoyi gave an order, and the 05 Brigade immediately accelerated its march.

Before the 05 travel army was not fast, the soldiers had sufficient physical strength, compared to the British army behind the fierce pursuit all the way, the physical consumption was very large, the 05 brigade in front suddenly accelerated the marching speed, the British army behind felt unbearable, and the distance between the two sides suddenly slowly widened.
