Chapter 1240 The Savior (2)
Slim forgot the most important clue in his desperation, and he and the fat man communicated through the walkie-talkie, and there was no more gunfire in the earpiece. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
At this time, the fat man who ate the Sakuma troops, the recruit brigade leading Zhang Biaozi, Uncle Biao's logistics brigade and the veteran fighters of the two brigades had already appeared on the flank of Harada's troops.
Like the troops led by Zhang Liguo and Kong Ning, in order to avoid accidental injuries in the night, he took the troops to the other side of the Harada troops to lurk, and through walkie-talkies, he cooperated with the latent troops at the end of Zhang Liguo and Kong Ning, ready to give the little devil Harada troops a big surprise.
The news from the command headquarters caused the soldiers of the 17th British Division stationed on the front line to be driven to the trenches to perform duties by the commanders, and they were not allowed to sleep at night, so that this mixed unit of British and Indian Asan, complained that the officers had woken them up.
God, they'd rather surrender than even touch the bed at such a time.
Seeing the British officers and gendarmes standing behind them with loaded guns, they could only enter the trenches with grinding and chirping, and in order to show their obedience, whether they could see it in the dark night or not, all the machine guns in the machine gun fortifications were in a state of fire.
"Bang bang-" In any case, since the upper peak has a collar, despite the complaints of the soldiers, the officers still ordered the flares to be fired, whether it is really touched by the Japanese devils, or their high-ranking idle eggs, they must carry out the order.
More than a dozen flares were fired into the air, drawing dazzling arcs in the air and slowly rising and falling.
The light of the flare covered everything around, only the wind and grass swayed, the leaves and sand sloped, where did you see half a figure?
Could it be that General Slim was idle and used this way to fool them that the devils were coming, and to see their vigilance?
The soldiers and officers widened their eyes together, and then the light of the flares, looking at the calm fertile field in front of the position, they all thought to themselves, it seemed that they had been tricked by General Slim!
Both the officers and the soldiers scolded their mothers, of course, they did not dare to scold General Slim, they scolded the little devils, how ugly they were to listen to and how ugly they were, they scolded in English, and they also scolded in the Indian dialect, so as to count the resentment in their hearts that they could not sleep at night.
Since there is no Japanese devil, General Slim has another order, so the British troops stationed in Burma can no longer go back to the barracks to sleep, and they all begin to sleep on the trenches.
So the British troops were all in the trenches, each in position.
I don't know that the officer and the soldier were bored, and after the previous wave of flares fell, there was another sound of flare firing from the British position.
"Bang-"
Hearing the gunshots, the British troops on the position did not even want to raise their eyelids.
The flares shot straight into the sky with dazzling light and long tails of light, like shooting stars, brilliant and beautiful, and a large fertile field in front of the position shone under this light, and everything hidden in the darkness was revealed in this light.
Finally, the flare, with a long light tail, slowly flew into the distance and slowly fell.
"The day * this devil, it is the day * this devil!"
Just as the flares were about to fall to the ground, a shout suddenly erupted from the British position, as if the thunder in the spring had awakened everything.
"Shoot!"
"Flares, quick, quick!"
"Shoot quickly, the Japanese devil, it's the Japanese devil who touched it!"
On the "......" position, English shouts and Indian dialect shouts came and went.
The inexplicable flare had fallen, and darkness had returned to the front of the position.
"Da Da Da ......" Regardless of whether you can see the Japanese devil in this darkness or not, the machine guns on the British position are firing frantically ahead.
"Bang bang-" The British flares shot into the air again, and more than a dozen flares once again illuminated the fertile field in front of the position.
This time was different from the first time, this time under the light of the flares, I saw countless Japanese devils bending their waists and quickly rushing towards their positions.
"Hit ...... Fire...... Shooting ......"
On the position, the British officers in each section of the trench hurriedly ordered to open fire, and suddenly the gunfire rang out.
"Da Da Da ......"
"Bang ......"
Seeing that the sneak attack was exposed, and at a distance of more than 100 meters, the little devils had no time to dodge the strafing of the machine guns, and almost all of the little devils in front of them were spared, and they were killed by the strafing of the machine guns.
"Da ......" The crooked handle of the little devil and the neck of the pheasant began to shoot back, although they could not see each other in the night, but as long as there was gunfire in front, it was the target of the shooting.
The British army, which took the lead in launching the "boom, boom, boom", also had a first-mover advantage in artillery, whether it was artillery guns, howitzers, anti-tank guns, or cannons, facing the darkness in front of them, and the position of the little devil under the searchlight just now was bombarded.
The "boom" of artillery rang out, mixed with the gunfire at the scene.
Whether it is the headquarters of the British army or the headquarters of the little devils, at night, and at such a close distance, no one knows how many troops the other side has, and whether the other party is afraid of his own attack.
Everything is unknown, only the British troops on the position are sure that as long as they are in the trenches, they are their own people, and those outside the trenches are the enemy.
In the dark of night, the communication equipment of this era was backward, and it was common for officers to be unable to command their own soldiers, and once they were engaged, the soldiers would only carry out the orders before the mission, let them sneak attack, and let them shoot as soon as they were shot.
The battle, which lasted from the first half of the night until the early hours of the morning, ceased when the eastern sky had begun to light and it was dark.
In order not to suffer losses in the darkness before dawn, the British 17th Division held its position tightly, not seeking no merit, but no fault.
Soon, but the eastern sky was full of red clouds, and when the sun was about to rise, and the day was already bright, the British 17th Division in the trenches found that in front of their position, hundreds of corpses of Japanese devils had fallen, all of whom had been shot and killed by them last night.
And there were only a dozen or so dead and wounded on their side, this discovery made the British soldiers on the position excited, they all wanted to surrender, but they did not expect to get such great glory in such a battle that no one could see.
They were amazed that their leader, Lieutenant General Slim, was like a god, and let them teach them a hard lesson.
Last night, the war report was sent to the headquarters, and after staying up all night at the headquarters, he didn't sleep, drinking milk, eating breakfast, and Lieutenant General Slim saw the battle report, and almost dropped the milk cup in his hand...... (To be continued.) )
