Chapter 564: The Battle of the Southwest VIII
readx;?“ Yes, General. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" Colonel Mick replied respectfully and took the order.
MacArthur drank all the coffee in his cup, put it on the map, and said in a deep voice: "The Nu River is dangerous, I will definitely break it, definitely!" ”
…………
That night, more than 1,000 American paratroopers, a division of about 8,000 British troops, and about 20,000 Indian and Burmese servant troops rushed to Muang City one after another.
At this moment, neither the American nor the British army had the habit and energy to fight at night, so they marched all the way, and as soon as they arrived in Mangshi, they planned to rest on the spot and continue the march tomorrow.
&n~Pig~Pig~Island~Novel;Because the people of the county town have already fled or evacuated with the national army to the east bank of the Nu River.
The empty houses in the city became temporary barracks for American and British troops and servants.
The whole Mangshi is in chaos at night, and the hustle and bustle is like a lively vegetable market.
The senior soldier, who had complained about being caught by the commander, was also assigned a private house with his companions, but unfortunately, they were given a house used by the local people to raise sheep.
The house was filled with the smell of urine and feces, and the air was quite turbid.
As soon as the exhausted American soldier entered the house, he turned around and pushed away his companion who was following him and ran out, vomiting violently in a corner of the yard.
"What kind of place is this, the toilet?" Several other American GIs also retreated into the courtyard with their noses and mouths covered in pain, complaining.
Some shook their heads, others sighed.
The senior soldier vomited for a while before standing up with an ugly face: "Damn Chinese, I hate here, I hate all Chinese, I swear, I will kill every Chinese I see." ”
………………
In Longling City, the headquarters of the 34th Brigade. It's still brightly lit.
"Brigade seat, the unit sent out to reconnoiter is back." Adjutant Chen hurriedly walked in from outside.
"Oh? What is the situation and where is the US military now? The anecdotal anecdote, who had been waiting anxiously, immediately asked.
"They are now resting in Mangshi, and they arrived more than an hour ago." Adjutant Chen replied.
"The Yankees rested in Mangshi and didn't move on?" Cun Xingqi asked with some confusion.
Adjutant Chen shook his head and said, "No, they have traveled a long way from Lashio to here, and there is no need to mention that they have eaten and slept along the way, they must be very tired, and they plan to rest in Mangshi for one night." ”
Cun Xingqi nodded and said: "It makes sense, the Americans don't know the speed of soldiers. After a long march, we must be exhausted at this time, and our army will be able to wait for work, and if we can take advantage of the opportunity to attack at night, we may be able to achieve good results. ”
"Are you planning to reclaim Mangshi?" Adjutant Chen asked.
Cun Xingqi shook his head and said: "No, Mangshi has no value to recover, the people have already evacuated, it is already an empty city, and our army has abandoned it before." Now why should I waste my military strength to recover it?
It's just that the battle of the daytime alert troops damaged the morale of our army and made the morale of the army unstable.
I launched a night attack on the US troops, and I did not seek much success. I just want to be able to revive the morale of the army and boost morale! ”
After speaking, Cun Xingqi turned to look at the map and fell into deep thought. It didn't take long for him to point to the map and say: "We are about twenty kilometers away from Mangshi, and with the footsteps of our soldiers and their familiarity with the terrain, we can march at full speed." It should be there in just over an hour at the latest.
In terms of time, it's still too late. ”
Adjutant Chen couldn't help but nod his head at the strange analysis.
"How many men are you going to send to attack?"
"In this night attack, the number of people should not be too many, but it should not be too small, and it will be difficult to form an effective combat force if it is few."
I would like to select 800 brave fighters from the brigade headquarters and the 3rd and 2nd regiments to attack the US troops in Mangshi under my personal leadership. ”
"What, you have to lead the team yourself, isn't it too dangerous?" Adjutant Chen was taken aback.
Inch Xingqi said: "As a soldier, if you can sacrifice your life for the country, what a blessing, I have made up my mind, and I must persuade again."
The defense of each regiment is established, and even if I die, you must hold on. ”
Adjutant Chen saw that he was resolute, so he had to nod and say, "Yes, I will obey the military order." ”
An hour later, General Cun Xingqi dispatched 800 strong and resolute men from the whole brigade, carrying short guns, grenades, broadswords and spears, and some machine guns and submachine guns, and secretly set out from Longling, and marched towards Mangshi under the cover of night.
Compared with the American and British troops in the city, the treatment of more than 20,000 servant troops is much worse.
In addition to being responsible for guarding the perimeter of the city, they also have to sleep on the streets.
There was no way, because the houses were occupied by the officials and their American and British soldiers.
Therefore, on both sides of the main street of the county seat of Mangshi, almost all of them are full of Burmese servants and Indian Asan.
Many of the three servants even used their headscarves as pillows.
Ah San is the most unreliable country in the 21st world, and their army, whether it is the navy or air force, will always have all kinds of strange incidents.
For example, a submarine exploded, sank, such as a plane crash, such as a missile test, and disappeared, all kinds of seemingly incredible things are common in Ah San's country.
And the three of them didn't think so, they fell today and bought it tomorrow, and then they fell again and bought it again.
It can be seen from this that the character of the three is so loose.
It is impossible for such an army to be in the city climate.
Coupled with the dissatisfaction with the arrangements of their uncles, a large number of Asan soldiers who were on duty outside the city were particularly negative.
There was not even a single person standing guard, but they gathered around the fire in twos and threes, and began to chatter in Indian bird language, and I don't know if they will scold their master army again.
Some Ah San took out the curry he carried with him and roasted all kinds of wild dishes caught from the nearby mountains and forests.
At about ten o'clock in the evening, except for a few high-spirited Ah San, who were still staying up all night around the fire, most of the American and British soldiers, both inside and outside the city, basically fell asleep.
When Cun Xingqi arrived with eight hundred tiger and wolf soldiers, the first thing he found was seven or eight Indian servants sleeping around the fire.
"The Yankees are too wary, but it just so happens that it gives us a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." General Cun Xingqi whispered in his heart, turned his head and whispered to an accompanying guard captain: "You bring a few people, deal with these Yankees, remember, don't use guns." ”
"Yes!" The captain of the guard has followed the inch for many years, has experienced hundreds of battles, large and small, and is an elite iron-blooded veteran with considerable skills.
Immediately after receiving the order, he led seven soldiers with short knives and quietly reached for several Indian servants.
When they were all close to within three or five meters, they found that the group of Yankees in front of them had no idea except for the constant snoring.
Immediately, they quickened their pace and rushed forward, almost in an arrow step, and they rushed to the surroundings of the Indian Asan, one target for each person.
Gao raised the short blade in his hand and slammed it into the heart and other vital places.
The sound of "poof, poof, poof" is endless.
These Ah San, who were covered in their mouths, could not even scream, and their filthy and tragic lives were ended.
After dealing with a few Yankees, he immediately waved his hand and rushed forward with eight hundred soldiers.
There was a guard captain with seven skilled soldiers to open the way in front, and they easily broke through the outer guard of the three soldiers.
It wasn't until the grenades were thrown into the city that there was a violent explosion that the sleeping Americans, British, and a large number of Indian and Burmese soldiers woke up.
The entire street was filled with servants who had suddenly stood up.
And when the teams of American and British troops rushed out of the large and small courtyards in disheveled clothes and panicked, they were blocked by the large number of servant troops who were also in chaos.
"Damn it, get out of the way, bastards, you stupid pigs!" The angry scolding and roaring of the British and American military officers who led the team one by one were endless.
At this time, there were loud gunshots in the east of the city, and the shouts of killing were endless.
General Cun Xingqi took the lead in carrying a Czech light machine gun and rushed into the city first, sweeping the servants who had just woken up and did not know what to do.
In the darkness, I don't know how many Indian servants and Burmese servants were knocked to the ground by the scorching bullets, and let out a miserable scream.
Eight hundred soldiers swarmed in, swearing to the death, all kinds of long and short guns were fired, and grenades were also thrown out with a whizz.
The sudden and fierce attack, coupled with the darkness of the night, although thousands of servants and hundreds of British and American troops gathered in the eastern area of the city, were defeated and retreated for a while.
Especially the British and Indian servants, when they heard the gunshots, their first reaction was to flee into the city.
Some of the American troops and Burmese servants who dared to resist were also disrupted by the crowd and had to retreat with them towards the center of the city.
And the servant army in the center of the city was also affected, and they turned around and ran away without knowing the reality.
The whole city was in chaos, and the American soldier and his comrades, who were clamoring to kill all the Chinese they saw, had just rushed out of the courtyard when they were dispersed by the crowd of fleeing and retreating servants.
It's like some branches in a flood that can only go downstream.
The elites of Cun Xingqi and the eight hundred tigers and wolves did not expect the US army to be so vulnerable and launched a fierce pursuit.
Along the way, there were many wounded or slow-running servants, and once the British and American troops caught up, they would be hacked to death by the red-eyed soldiers of the Dian army, and stabbed to death with spears.
"It's so fucking enjoyable, Lao Tzu has never fought such a happy battle, and those boys in the afternoon also said how powerful the Americans are, what's the difference between this fucking and mud?" A sturdy soldier of the Dian army shouted happily while slashing down one enemy soldier after another with a machete.
ps: There is one more more. (To be continued......)
