222. Battle of East Bengal 11

In the faint moonlight, thousands of American troops opened the way in front, and the flames of explosions continued to rise, and they were constantly killed and maimed.

But this situation made Xia Fei, Paul and others breathe a sigh of relief.

Their speculation was correct, the Chinese side did not have the ability or sufficient air power to deliver bombs, except for the first wave of explosions, during which there were only a few mines on the main road, and the power of the mines was far from being comparable to that of the artillery shells, and many of them were only wounded but not killed, advancing more than 10 kilometers, killing less than 100 people, but more than 300 people were injured.

Although it is embarrassing to lose these people without even touching a single hair of the Chinese, the level of casualties is within the range they can bear.

Xia Fei's face was expressionless, but Paul couldn't, because it was the American army who suffered casualties.

"With so many wounded, it will also slow down our progress."

Xia Fei sneered: "Wounded? Are you still going to take the wounded on the road? All the wounded were left with a certain number of military doctors, and when the Chinese army came, they were asked to surrender directly. As far as I know, the military discipline of the Chinese is still very good, and I believe that they can survive. ”

Paul looked at Xia Fei in a daze, and I have to say that Xia Fei is not only iron-blooded and ruthless, but also this idea is very shameless. But he had to admit that this was the only way now, you must know that they are now fleeing for their lives, and the army can support anything they lack, after all, there are millions of troops, but only lack of food is not good. However, the troops of the coalition army lacked nothing, but lacked food.

What's worse is that because of the Chinese leaflets scattered in the air, almost everyone knows that the troops are short of food. It is precisely because of this that the marching speed of the troops is very fast, otherwise it would be good to be able to walk twenty or thirty kilometers a day with the movement of a million troops. But because everyone knew that there was a shortage of food, on the night of the first day, they marched nearly eighty kilometers in a hurry.

In the dark, the officers and men of the paratrooper regiment on the Chinese side, who were monitoring the movements of the Western coalition forces, were stunned when they saw this scene. Escalate quickly.

"Actually taking human lives to fill in?"

Li Bufan frowned. He knew that the Western world valued the lives of their white people, but he did not expect to use this hand, which shows that war shows the ugliness of human nature to the fullest.

Li Songshan frowned and said, "If that's the case." We will not be able to delay the pace of the other side's advance. After all, we put only one airborne regiment and a forcibly airborne infantry regiment there. That adds up to less than six thousand. ”

Li Bufan said solemnly: "Order the troops to carry out a certain scale of blockade, and at the same time order the air force bombers to take off at night, and use the bombing guidance to block the troops from firing flares." Carpet bombing was carried out along the road to the east of the flares. ”

"Yes!" Zhang Xiaozhun was stunned for a moment, but quickly responded.

In this era, the Air Force is not suitable for night missions, but this is not absolute, night take-off and landing can be illuminated by searchlights, and as long as there is clear guidance for bombing targets, it can still be completed, but it is not possible to carry out accurate bombing.

Li Bufan would never allow Xiafei's Burmese Front to flee back to India, even if this time the air force used up all its bombs.

With Li Bufan's order issued, the U.S. troops began to advance again after a break.

Seeing the large number of casualties of their comrades-in-arms before, some of them had less arms and legs, the advancing American troops were extremely nervous, and in the faint moonlight, they could only vaguely distinguish the road, but they couldn't see the ground clearly, and they didn't know when they would step on the damn mine.

Suddenly, a gunshot rang out in the dark woods, followed by a dense burst of gunfire, and hundreds of tongues of fire intertwined into a rain of steel bullets.

The sudden blow caused dozens of troops to fall on the spot, even though the personnel of the US troops who opened the way were scattered.

Although the casualties were not large, the fear brought was deadly, and almost all the American troops lay down at the first time and fired frantically into the woods. In fact, the Chinese side only fired a magazine, and the troops in ambush all used assault rifles, and they quickly withdrew within half a minute of firing a magazine.

"Ambush, the Chinese have an ambush?" Cries of terror continued to sound in the darkness.

"Withdraw! Evacuate! Immediately, some people were shouting, some people were calling for retreat, and the American troops in the back quickly rushed back.

The officers of the coalition supervision team who followed the US army's road-opening force kept roaring, and even fired warning shots: "Damn, let me go back, go to attack, and don't retreat." "But no one listened to him in great fear, and even if he did, he didn't pay attention to it, after all, no one believed that the Overseer would dare to fire at their thousands of routs.

It's a pity that these American GIs don't understand the cruelty of the battlefield.

Seeing that they could not stop the retreat of the American troops, the overseer team ordered to open fire, and dozens of machine guns fired at the routed soldiers, and countless routed soldiers fell in pools of blood.

In a short period of time, hundreds of officers and soldiers were shot and killed, and the defeated US officers and soldiers were finally suppressed, and the fact of blood was placed in front of their eyes, and every rout was stunned by this scene.

Finally, an American officer shouted in the rout: "If you retreat, you will be disciplined on the battlefield, it is better to rush over, and maybe you can still live." The officers and men of the US Army's road-opening force in despair were finally awakened by this sentence and raised a glimmer of hope.

The American rout finally turned its guns again, and with the faint hope of survival, they charged into the woods with all their might.

There is an old Chinese saying that "every forest is not entered". That's because it's too easy to be ambushed in the woods, too easy to be ambushed, plotted, especially at night.

The paratrooper regiment, which was expanded with a battalion of Huben as the main body, used the method of special operations, and there were constantly suspended mines and grenades in the forest that were detonated, and this kind of air explosion allowed the shrapnel to give full play, which made the US troops who were impacting almost fall one by one.

When the remaining American troops took control of the woods, they did not see half a figure, and only found a pile of shells on the ground.

Even the commanders of Xia Fei, Paul and other countries shuddered when they saw the wounded everywhere. The Western world has experienced the tragedy of the European War, no matter how heavy the battle, but in a battle like this, where even the opponent cannot be found, there is a feeling that they are fighting against the devil.

If the previous casualties were bearable, then the current casualties simply made everyone have the urge to vomit blood, and after counting the casualties, I learned that just now in a wave of attacks, the US army suffered nearly 2,000 casualties, in fact, several hundred were shot by the Inspector team, and the rest of the more than 1,000 and a half were lost in the battle just now, but the casualties were not too much, only two or three hundred, but there were more than 1,000 wounded soldiers, and the wailing of the wounded became more and more terrifying and terrifying in such a tragic and strange situation at night.

The commanders of many countries couldn't help but suggest to Xia Fei: "Why don't we wait for dawn to walk out of the jungle?" ”

Xia Fei said expressionlessly: "What if the jungle also has a block?" ”

The commanders of various countries looked at each other, of course, they understood the intentions of the Western high-level, and they also understood the importance of their armies to the Western coalition forces, and no one wanted to be taken prisoner. But they understand the strategic intentions of the top brass of the white world in the West, and the soldiers and even low-ranking officers in the underground can't understand it, they only know that the top brass has been sending them to death like mad dogs, and letting them go to the mines with human flesh.

Paul said bitterly: "If we keep going like this, I'm afraid that the troops will mutiny." ”

The mutiny of the troops and the bombing of the camp have been the most feared things of all officers throughout the ages.

For a moment, everyone fell silent, and the light of the torches danced, making every high-ranking member of the coalition force look hideous and weird, except for the ghost-like wails of the wounded, there was a dead silence. Every high-level soldier looked around, and they all felt as if they had a different feeling, even a sense of crisis.

"Woo" a roar of engines broke the silence in the sky.

From Xia Fei and the commanders of various countries, down to every soldier's face changed at this moment, and this voice they will never forget in their lives - the voice of the Chinese bomber.

Xia Fei jumped up and yelled like a burning buttocks: "Put out the torch!" ”

Just as he shouted, several flares suddenly fired from the darkness ahead. These flares were like signals, and soon the Chinese bomber group launched a fierce bombardment on the ground, countless bombs fell from the sky with a sharp roar, and the violent explosion almost stained the darkness.

Xia Fei and Paul and several other officers threw themselves directly into the ditch on the side of the road, and the area was full of rain, so wide and deep ditches were built on the side of the road, and as soon as they plunged into the ditch, a bomb fell on the side of their temporary headquarters, and the violent explosion instantly lifted the headquarters headquarters that was as simple as a few tents in freedom, and the radio station was blown to pieces.

Xia Fei and the others didn't dare to raise their heads, and there were continuous violent explosions in their ears, as if there was only the sound of explosions left in the heavens and the earth, and the invisible sound waves made him breathless, as if there were countless hammers hitting his organs, he tried to adjust his breathing according to his years of military experience and relieve the pressure on his internal organs, but the explosion of a nearby aerial bomb finally made him can't help but spurt out a mouthful of blood, and then he kept vomiting blood in the explosion.

It took more than twenty minutes for the Chinese bomber group to leave, and Xia Fei felt as if a century had passed, and he vomited hundreds of milliliters of blood, almost not being shocked to death.

When he was rescued from the ditch, he looked around and found that there was a mess at a glance, and in the burning fire, corpses could be faintly seen everywhere, and his heart was in unprecedented despair. At this moment, he felt very clearly in his heart China's strategic intentions, the Western world needs his troops, and the Chinese side obviously knows that then the Chinese side wants to destroy his troops at any cost.

In this wave of bombing, the Chinese side dispatched more than 200 bombers to bomb an area of 10 kilometers, dropping more than 500 tons of aerial bombs and bombs modified from artillery shells, causing more than 50,000 casualties to this unit. As a result, this great retreat is known in the West as a hellish march of death. (To be continued......)
