Chapter 1195 Total Annihilation

The first line of defense is a narrow valley, the cliffs on both sides are like cutting, only a mountain road with a 45-degree oblique angle leads to the top, and at the end is a platform, which is full of rocks and rolling logs, and only needs to occupy a high place when the battle is about to move, pushing the stones and rolling logs, or bows and arrows like rain, then the men and horses attacking from the bottom up will inevitably suffer serious losses.

The second checkpoint is about 200 meters away from the first, which is a vertical cliff, with only a zigzag road carved by hand to accommodate pack horses. At every bend in the road, a bunker is piled up with sacks that can be fired from top to bottom. The Dazhai Gate at the end of the steep road is cast by pig iron, with a thickness of almost one foot, in addition, the parapet wall built on the cliff is condescending, and the wall is all made of rectangular stones, which is extremely solid.

If it weren't for the fact that it was now the era of machine guns and artillery, in the past, even if 100,000 troops came to attack, they might not have been able to capture the stockade. But now, the huge gap in weapons and equipment in Yaozhai is enough to make the advantageous terrain lose all barriers.

The Burmese Independence Army (Myanmar) is a military force formed by Burma's loose political alliance, the Burmese Association, whose main political appeal is to get rid of British colonial rule and fight for national independence. The Burmese Independence Army (MPA) was founded after World War I, and its current commander is Dechen Abe, who is the commander-in-chief of the coalition armed forces.

Due to the dual support of Soviet Russia and the Japanese military headquarters trying to open a gap from southwest China, the independent army has developed rapidly in recent years, and now has more than 20,000 people, active in the central, eastern and northern parts of Burma, and is the most troublesome armed force of the British army.

Since the opening of the Yunnan-Burma trade route, the convoys of transport between western Yunnan, southern Yunnan and Yangon have been attacked by the independence army many times, so not only the British colonial government and army are very disgusted with it, but also the Anjia army, whose interests have also been damaged, are also very angry with it. As long as the advancing team seizes the opportunity, they will also chase and beat it hard. Over the past year or so, there have been dozens of clashes between the two sides, and although the top leaders of the alliance suspect that the series of defeats are related to the An Jiajun, they have no choice but to find no evidence, so they can only knock out their teeth and swallow blood.

The Myanmar Independence Army has three divisions, each with more than 7,000 people. Each division has two brigades, each consisting of three regiments of 1,200 men each. The attack on Yao was carried out by the 5th Brigade and 14th Regiment of the 3rd Division, which was active in the border area between northeastern Burma and northern Thailand.

The equipment of the Independence Army was mixed, including Soviet-made "three-line Shuilianzhu" rifles, German Type 88 Mauser rifles, and Japanese Type 38 rifles, in addition, there were also Hanyang-made and old sleeves flowing from China, and Lee's rifles seized from the British colonial army. However, even so, there is no guarantee that each person will have one gun, and about twenty percent of the people still hold cold weapons such as pike darts and wooden bows.

In addition, the Independence Army was armed with grenadiers, a valuable weapon gifted by the Japanese, and each regiment had a so-called artillery company, whose main task was to handle five grenadiers. The grenadier is a killer weapon of the Japanese infantry, weighing only 2.7 kilograms, and the shells fired are grenades, which can form a fire strike at a range of 400 meters, which is extremely convenient for the high mountains and dense forests of Burma. It is a pity that the grenadier does not have a tripod, mainly relying on the shooter to adjust the angle of fire, and the requirements for the grenadier shooter are extremely high, and the source of the independence army is mostly people living at the bottom of society, uneducated, and does not like to be restrained, so ten shots may not be able to hit the target.

It was precisely because the equipment of a regiment of the Independent Army was so poor that Zhang Yu dared to take the initiative to attack with the strength of a small team.

However, at this moment, in the face of Yaozhai, the weapons of the 5th Brigade and 14th Regiment of the 3rd Division of the Independent Army still firmly have the upper hand, and the 38 Dagai has a very high accuracy rate within 400 meters, and hundreds of rifles are fired in unison, and the power is far from being able to withstand the Yaozhai equipped with old-fashioned earthen guns. In addition, even if the grenadier of the artillery company is thrown poorly, but the blind cat also touches the dead mouse, hundreds of grenades are fired, the first checkpoint of Yaozhai and the hidden fort on the zigzag mountain road have all been removed, and now the 14th Regiment has attacked the bottom of the cliff, covered with rifle fire, and continued to use grenadiers to fire grenades into Yaozhai.

Just when the Yao Village was in danger, and the men, women, and children in the village took out their big swords and spears, ready to fight to the death, the independent army under the mountain suddenly became chaotic - the commander of the 14th Regiment, Mobigan, who was standing at the rear of the team and commanding the battle, was shot in his vest, and fell to the ground before he had time to snort, and went to see the king of Hades with a few convulsions of his legs and feet.

Subsequently, cold shots broke out, and more than 10 soldiers of the Independent Army were killed in the blink of an eye, so frightened that almost all the officers and soldiers of the Independent Army fell to the ground and looked in horror.

The troops attacked on the flanks were suddenly in chaos, and the team responsible for attacking the cottage in front of them withdrew in a panic, and the three panicked battalion commanders hurriedly gathered together to sum up, identifying that it was the reinforcements invited by the cottage, calming down and carefully listening to the gunfire, and unanimously agreed that the number of attackers was not large, at best there were more than ten people. The three battalion commanders agreed that whoever first defeated the enemy and avenged the dead regiment commander would take over the post of regiment commander.

As a result, a group of rabble immediately took action, shooting back, and crawling towards the dense forest more than 100 meters in the distance, preparing to encircle the opponent.

After more than ten minutes of fierce firefighting, the independent army successfully approached the outside of the woods at the cost of more than 20 people, and the Burmese soldiers jumped up one after another and charged into the woods. Unfortunately, there was nothing to be gained in the woods, and when I walked through the woods, I saw that there were nine figures four hundred meters away, flickering and moving, and quickly escaping into the distance.

"Chase!"

If you let the opponent who killed your regiment commander escape from under your nose, don't say that you can't explain to Shangfeng when you go back, even if you feel faceless, so the three battalion commanders did not hesitate at all, continued to issue the pursuit order, temporarily gave up the attack on Yaozhai, drove a team of more than 1,000 people, and pursued at the tail.

After about a quarter of an hour, most of the 14th Regiment entered a narrow mountain road with dense jungles on both sides, and the middle was five or six meters lower than the high ground on both sides, but unfortunately there was no shadow of the opponent.

The three battalion commanders chased after him for another five or six minutes, hesitated in their hearts, and hurriedly restrained the team, preparing to climb the high ground on both sides to see what was going on.

At this moment, a violent explosion sounded, and dozens of high-power mines were detonated in an instant, and for a time the officers and men of the 14th Regiment of the Independent Army flew blood and flesh everywhere, and the stumps and broken arms flew everywhere, and they were killed and wounded in the sharp rocks and mine fragments that flew all over the sky. The three battalion commanders were lucky, there happened to be no mines nearby, and hurriedly organized men and horses to prepare for a counterattack, but unfortunately at this time a sharp voice sounded, and three mortar shells accurately fell into the crowd that had just gathered, one of the battalion commanders was killed on the spot, and the other two could no longer withstand the huge pressure, let out a frightened and helpless scream, and ran away, and then a dense gunfire rang out, and a huge network of fire intertwined by machine guns, submachine guns, automatic rifles, and semi-automatic rifles ruthlessly harvested lives.

Because Zhang Yu's squad was condescending and brought the power of all kinds of automatic weapons and semi-automatic weapons into full play, the independent army had almost no strength to fight back, and after about ten minutes, there were only more than 300 officers and men left of more than 1,000 independent officers and soldiers.

Zhang Yu carefully observed the battlefield with a telescope, judged that the enemy did not surrender, immediately stood up with satisfaction, lowered his voice and ordered: "The first shift and the fourth squad will cover, and the second and third shifts will go down to clean up the battlefield and concentrate the prisoners, and then all shoot this group of beasts who rape and kill all kinds of evil, and never leave a living mouth, otherwise it will not only bring us unnecessary trouble, but the villagers will suffer even more after we leave." ”

Lying beside Zhang Yu, Wen Qi, who was hot from the AN-36 automatic rifle in his hand, turned his head and asked in a low voice: "Captain, this is not good, how can we all be righteous and have to abide by the Geneva Conventions, right?" ”

Zhang Yu glared at him: "The fart convention, we didn't declare war with the British and Burmese, this article does not apply." Wen Qi, I think you are stupid at reading, do you know how these independent armies deal with us overseas Chinese? After they broke through the villages, they often burned, killed, looted, and slaughtered the villages at every turn, how much blood debt they owed us! These bastards, they don't dare to fight the British, they only dare to take out their anger on the weak, even if they kill a hundred times, they can't solve their hatred! Also, have you thought about what would happen to the compatriots in the Yao village in front of you if the independent officers and soldiers of this regiment were left alive? ”

Wen Wei stuck out his tongue and stopped talking.

The whole battlefield was silent for a long time, and suddenly fierce gunfire rang out again, and after five or six minutes, the gunfire gradually stopped, and the soldiers of the second and third squads had already finished their work and began to carefully identify them.

Zhang Yu sighed slightly, and ordered to collect weapons and ammunition, carefully clean the battlefield, and replenish all the guns that were not dead. After a while, the soldiers who went out to guard came to report that someone had come to Yaozhai and wanted to meet with the highest commander of our army. Zhang Yu ordered the fourth squad to also join in cleaning up the battlefield, and then took the first squad of soldiers to meet the people of Yaozhai.

This time, on behalf of Yao Zhai, it was Pan Gui, the son of Pan Mo, the head of the village, and several sturdy Yao guys. When the explosion and gunfire rang out fiercely at the bottom of the mountain, the people in the Yao village thought it was a trick of the independent army, but after listening to it for a long time, it didn't look like it, after all, the dozens of corpses lying in front of the village were not lies. Besides, if the independent army continues to attack, Yiyaozhai's backward weapons are no opponent at all, and it is only a matter of time before it falls, so why bother?

Therefore, after pondering for a long time, he still sent his son to take a few young people out of the village to see what the situation was.

It is worthy of the same root and the same origin, although the words of Pan Gui are jerky and difficult to understand, but it is a Chinese system, which is somewhat similar to the words of Guangxi and Guizhou, and it is not difficult for the two sides to communicate. When he heard that he had defeated the Anjia Army brothers who had defeated the British in Burma, Pan Gui couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly sent someone back to the village to report the good news.

Subsequently, Zhang Yu took Pan Gui and a few other young people to walk around the battlefield, Zhang Yu introduced that the battle completely annihilated a regiment of the Burmese Independence Army 1,258 people, but no one was killed or wounded, and more than 400 long and short guns of various intact were captured, and hundreds of guns could be assembled after other broken rifles were repaired. After hearing this, Pan Gui's eyes lit up with stars, and his admiration for Zhang Yu and others could no longer be expressed in words.

That night, the bonfire of this Yao cottage in the deep mountains was blazing, and the long-lost music such as reeds, suona, horns, and copper drums sounded again, and thousands of fathers and villagers sang and danced to welcome their relatives from their hometowns.

The task of Zhang Yu's team was a complete success, and at the same time as the bonfire party was going on, Pan Gui, the head of Yaozhai, and the elders agreed to become brothers with An Jiajun from now on. Yaozhai will regard An Jiajun as his relatives and provide all the help he can for An Yi and An Jiajun.

Zhang Yu promised on behalf of An Jiajun that as long as the villagers were willing, An Jiajun could help Yaozhai set up a self-defense force of 200 people, and the weapons could be selected by the young people in the village from the trophies, and they only needed to help bury all the corpses. At the same time, An Jiajun is willing to help Yaozhai improve people's livelihood, suggesting that Yaozhai build roads, expand the reclamation area and improve the water conservancy and irrigation system, An Jiajun will also regard the villagers as his relatives, provide high-quality rice seeds free of charge, and try his best to solve the problem of difficulty in eating in Yaozhai.

For a time, the mountain people were ecstatic, and all the treasures of the water and wine mountains were held.
