Chapter 128: The Encirclement of the British Army

The attack of the Yan and Huang Army was imminent, and Johnson had no intention of thinking about anything else, so he immediately issued one order after another to strengthen the defense as much as possible in the weak links of the British defense, and to transfer as many troops as possible from some positions that were easy to defend and difficult to attack and those positions that were less important to be attacked, and fill them in other places, and further shrink the entire position to strengthen the defense, and at the same time report the current situation to the headquarters to see if it could get support, especially air support and heavy fire support.

At a little past six o'clock in the evening, more than 100 planes appeared in the sky, and began to bomb and strafe the British positions frantically, and the breath of death suddenly filled the entire British position, and the blood mist flew, reflecting the sunset on the horizon, but it seemed so bleak and gloomy, the panic before death, the helpless wail, and the sound of explosions that made the head dizzy...... It is a scene that looks like the end of the world.

As soon as the planes of the Yan and Huang troops withdrew, the British soldiers heard a rumbling sound before they could breathe. Ah, tanks, many people can't help but gasp.

The tankmen who had marched to the effective firing range of the "bombardment ......" finally fired their artillery, and shells were once again poured into the British positions, and more than 50 tanks finally attacked the British troops from the direction of Dongjiabao, followed by the overwhelming army units wearing green camouflage uniforms and majestic troops, full of a sense of murder.

"Da ......" followed closely behind the tank, and the soldiers of the Yanhuang Army began to charge. It was already getting dark, and the British soldiers were even more panicked, after all, they didn't like night battles, but they found that the soldiers of the Yan and Huang Army seemed to have deliberately chosen this time period to launch a general attack.

They guessed correctly, it was indeed the case, the Zhong [***] team itself was adapted to night battles, and the Yan and Huang troops had conducted special training, so why not pick on the weaknesses of the British. Therefore, in the afternoon, the Yan and Huang troops only carried out interference and tentative attacks, which not only undermined the enemy's confidence, but also made them exhausted, and then dragged the time into the evening.

Looking at the direction of the British position, Wu Dingbang's eyes shot a bloodthirsty light, and he shouted in a deep voice: "The general offensive begins."

Under an order, the two armies of the Yan and Huang Army, under the leadership of the tank, rushed to the British position from the direction of Dongjiabao and West Thirteen Lipu respectively, and they were naturally much more familiar with the terrain in this area than the British army, and the two armies had their own goals.

Without hesitation, the machine gunner in the "Da ......" tank pulled the trigger and fired wildly at the fleeing British troops. The tank went on a rampage, and then the ground troops of the Yanhuang Army arrived, all American M1903 rifles and German Mauser rifles, these two rifles should be regarded as the most advanced rifles in the world at present, Wei Chendong tried his best to buy and stock a lot through various ways. From the point of view of the two sides, the current Yan and Huang Army's individual equipment is no worse than this British army, plus it is a night battle that the British army is not suitable for, and the Yan and Huang Army are tired during the day, so the combat confidence is also greatly lost, coupled with the numerical advantage of the Yan and Huang Army, the British army can be said to be defeated like a mountain, many troops were scattered by the Yan and Huang Army, like headless flies, and even the British army itself tore each other apart strange incidents.

When the British army approached, he did not hesitate to draw out the big knife behind his back, and frantically slashed at the British soldiers, fighting face to face. For fighting bayonets, Wei Chendong also focused on training the soldiers of the Yan and Huang Army, after all, the enemy in the future, he himself is very fond of fighting bayonets, and the current training projects and tactical ideas of the Yan and Huang Army are mainly aimed at him, but the Western powers are generally used to the idea of heavy artillery, no matter what, a cannon bomb blows up so that you don't know what your grandmother's surname is, and then a large number of armored troops cover the infantry charge, so that the face-to-face stabbing of individual soldiers is far less tragic than that of the Asian army, so Western soldiers generally don't like it, is not suitable for this kind of frontal fighting, it seems too cruel, too bloody, so, one-on-one frontal fighting, the British soldiers are not the opponent of the Yan and Huang Army at all, coupled with the lack of confidence, the combat power continues to decline a little, many soldiers in the case of no way to escape, immediately put their guns above their heads, indicating surrender.

"Surrender the gun and don't kill the ......", the soldiers of the Yan and Huang Army immediately shouted in English, this English sentence was Wei Chendong's temporary cramming, so that every soldier could say it, at this time it was used at the right time, many British soldiers understood, in order to survive, they immediately raised the gun obediently and squatted down.

The Yan and Huang troops left a part of their troops to guard the surrendered British troops, and the remaining troops continued to pursue.

After several hours of fighting, the entire British position has been opened by the two units of the Yan and Huang Army, so that the British army was divided into three by the Yan and Huang Army, which was deliberately done by the Yan and Huang Army, that is, to divide and surround it, and the strength of the three British troops was not much different, all tens of thousands of people.

After cutting off the British troops, troops from several other directions immediately entered the predetermined location and completely surrounded the three British forces.

After one night's battle, the purpose of the Yan and Huang army had been achieved, and the British army had been surrounded by the Yan and Huang army, and had become a turtle in an urn, and it was difficult to fly with wings.

"Hah...... Look where you white-skinned pigs are fleeing, you are used to being arrogant and arrogant in China, this will taste the bitterness", to achieve the expected goal, Wu Dingbang also showed an excited smile, he is not in a hurry to launch the final general attack, first surround a few days and then say, after all, a lot of supplies of the British army have been lost, and they will not be replenished later, or it will not be long before the morale of the army will be dissipated, and it will be easier to fight.

Johnson sat in a newly built temporary headquarters with a dejected face, as if he had suddenly aged a lot, and the spirit when he came was gone, some were just dejected, trembling, and the telegram to the headquarters for help had already been sent, but he did not get any response, and he himself knew that there was little hope, after all, this was a long way away, and it was not his own country, even if the outside world had the intention to rescue, by the time they came, I was afraid that his army would have already ended.

"Haven't you been in touch with the other two troops?" Johnson asked expressionlessly.

"No, our contact with them has been completely cut off by the Yan and Huang Army, and any information from them cannot be transmitted to us, several teams of scouts have been sent to break through the blockade of the Yan and Huang Army and contact them, but there has been no news so far, there must be something wrong", the chief of staff said in a low voice.

"Hey......" Johnson sighed, knowing that this failure was due to his own command mistakes, the British army was too aggressive, and arrogant, neither mastered the enemy's intelligence, nor did he understand the local terrain, so he rushed in indiscriminately, and thought that the Yan and Huang Army, like other troops, would give way or negotiate when they encountered foreign troops, and did not dare to do it casually. First of all, he lost a chip, one wrong step, one wrong step, I thought that with 100,000 troops, I could intimidate the Yan and Huang Army, so I didn't think that the Yan and Huang Army would take the initiative to attack.

At the same time as the British artillery was terminated, several other troops of the Yan and Huang Army were transferred from Gandong, Ganbei, and Ganzhong, and made a big detour, successfully went around the back of the British army, cut off its retreat, and then surrounded the British army, and then compressed the British army on this relatively flat position, so as to facilitate the charge and attack of the Yan and Huang army.

The Yan and Huang Army can be described as a battalion step by step, carefully calculated, and did not even leave the last bit of geographical advantage to the British army, on this flat terrain, the Yan and Huang Army had armored troops in front of the road, and the effect of the attack could be described as half the effort, coupled with the lack of preparation of the British army, and the rush to respond to the battle, the result could have been imagined a long time ago.

After besieging the British army for a day, Wu Dingbang is still not in a hurry to launch the final annihilation war, anyway, the fish are in the net, and they are no longer afraid of them running away, if the British come to the rescue, it is best to come to the encirclement point to help, but Wu Dingbang also feels that this may not be a big surname, and when the rescue force comes, the daylily is cold.

Just when Wu Dingbang was thinking about the gains and losses of this battle, he received an urgent telegram, took it to his hand and looked at it, his eyes widened, and he suddenly bounced up from his seat in disbelief, and the good mood just now immediately went to most of it, twisting his eyebrows and thinking about the intention of this information, but before he could figure it out, several similar telegrams arrived one after another, and when he received the eighth such telegram, Wu Dingbang sighed and issued an order to attack.
