Chapter 54: Interception of the Springfield Squadron (2)

As night fell, and tonight was another windy and dark night, and in a dense forest a few miles southwest of the temporary camp of the Springfield Squadron, nearly a thousand Burmese guerrillas with live ammunition were assembled. It was only then that the mercenaries of the infiltrator team understood why Mr. had to do business with those Burmese Tusi leaders when he was in charge of Burma in the first place, and they would not have been able to assemble so many Burmese guerrillas without the large amount of money they had at the beginning.

These Burmese guerrillas came from the jurisdiction of several Tusi around Mandalay, and the guerrillas were given to them by Zhao Zhi. The infiltrator team only mentioned a few words in the territory of those toast heads, and some toasts picked out a positive response, compared with the Japanese, they naturally chose to be allies with Thunder, after all, Thunder gave real money, and the Japanese would only take it from them.

Lai San held a flashlight in his left hand and shone it on the ground, and in his right hand he held a branch on the ground and gestured, "This is the position of the Japanese army, this is us, according to the information that our people have reconnoitred, this group of Japanese soldiers has about 200 people, they blocked the four sides of the camp with military vehicles and tanks, and the people are hiding in the car formation, if we carry out a strong attack, we will inevitably meet their desperate resistance"

"The large Japanese army from Mandalay is behind, this Japanese army is only their forward force, tomorrow morning, the follow-up troops of the Japanese army will arrive here, we only have one chance to attack them tonight, this group of Japanese troops has been entangled by us for three days, and has already become a frightened bird, so I plan to carry out a night attack on them tonight. Your men sneak in from both sides, we will knock out their tanks to guide you and create chaos, the explosion is the signal of attack, don't worry about anything else, rush in and kill them when you see the fire starting"

"Understood" the two Burmese officers in charge of commanding these Burmese guerrilla forces nodded at the same time.

"Two, this is the first battle you have commanded the Burmese guerrillas, so you must win, do you want to live under the assignment of those toast masters for the rest of your life? As long as you have a gun in your hand, those toast chiefs will rush to slap you, send you money, food and women, and we will support you" The hesitation in the eyes of the two Burmese officers was seen by Lai San, in order to ensure the success of the night attack, Lai San, who was known as the first talent of the infiltrator troops, gave full play to his incorruptible tongue, and in a few words, the two Burmese officers were fooled into staunch supporters of Thunder.

"The booty obtained from this night raid, except for those intact military vehicles and fuel, the rest of the items, we don't want any of them, we will give them to you, including those weapons" Lai San's next promise is the main thing. If you want to expand the guerrilla army in your hands, you can't do it without weapons, the infiltrators won't give these Burmese automatic weapons, and as for those Japanese-style weapons and equipment, it doesn't matter if they give them all, they can't bring them back to Kunming anyway.

"The guerrillas will win"

"The guerrillas will win" The two Burmese officers who were flickered by Lai San's blood swelled up waved their right hands and howled in a low voice. Who doesn't want to live a good life, when Thunder was still in Myanmar, those Thunder soldiers who drove around in jeeps were the admiration of these Burmese mountain people. Look at the bamboo bow and earthen gun used for hunting in your hand, and then look at the fast guns and equipment in the hands of those soldiers in Thunder, it is simply a contrast between heaven and earth.

"You kid is really good enough to fool" Looking at the backs of the two Burmese officers who left to prepare, Zhuo Chen teased Lai San, who just smiled but didn't explain. The first task of the infiltrator forces entering Burma was to contact the Burmese Tusi leaders who were eager to thunder, and encourage them to form a Burmese guerrilla army to fight with the infiltrator forces. The more Burmese people die, the less resistance there will be to Thunder to take back Burma, and Thunder is to be the one who watches and profits, which is the eternal truth and law of war mercenaries.

Although Kazuo Haruta knew that he might be attacked again tonight, he still chose to camp and wait for the follow-up troops with a hint of luck in his heart, and of course he was ready to face the battle. The remaining trucks and tanks were assigned to serve as fortresses and bunkers around the camp, and a circle of trenches was dug in the inner circle of the camp, even if the Japanese troops themselves entered and exited the camp through the wooden bridge built on the trench, as long as the wooden bridge was removed, the trench 3 meters wide and 2 meters deep was the support of the Spring Field squadron.

Kazuo Haruta knew that he was gambling, although this gamble was extremely risky, but he had no choice, the number of soldiers in his squadron who could continue to fight was less than 150 people, and if he continued to hurry, Haruta's squadron would probably be on the way to Lashio. Therefore, Kazuo Haruta had to gamble, and if he could successfully wait for the follow-up Japanese troops, he would win the bet, and if he lost the bet, he would only commit suicide by seppuku.

After nightfall, Kazuo Haruta made all his defensive equipment and waited for the attackers to come and die. The remaining more than 100 soldiers of the Chuntian squadron were all in the camp, lying on the inside of the trench in four directions, grenadiers, light and heavy machine guns, and mortars had already been prepared, and the wooden bridge over the trench had been withdrawn, as long as the attackers dared to come, the only thing waiting for them was bullets.

Time passed little by little, and it was 3 o'clock in the morning, and the attack that Kazuo Muratou had expected did not appear, which made him and his officers secretly breathe a sigh of relief in disappointment. Hold out for less than two hours before dawn, after which the enemy's attack will be unrefutable, and as soon as the follow-up troops are converged, the suffering of the Chuntian squadron will be over. As soon as the officers relaxed, the soldiers who had been tense naturally relaxed, and the sporadic fireworks and whispers began to appear on the defensive positions.

In the dark, the black-clad Burmese guerrillas had already touched the perimeter of the Japanese camp, they were waiting for the signal of the infiltrator team to attack, in order to send the wooden ladder up without being discovered by the Japanese army, they crawled for four hours in just a few hundred meters, and even Lai San, who planned the night attack, praised the patience of these Burmese people to the extreme. "Boom" "Boom" "Boom" With the appearance of three fires and explosions, the three chariots arranged by the Japanese army on the periphery of the camp turned into a large fireball, and the night attack officially began.

"Boom" "Boom" The mercenaries cruising outside the Japanese camp kept bombarding the east side of the camp with grenadiers and mortars, and the continuous bombardment and the overwhelming shouts made Kazuo Haruta think that the attackers took the east side of the camp as the main battlefield, and the Japanese began to return fire, and the gunfire shuttling back and forth pierced the night sky, and the infantry of the chariot squad as a reserve was transferred to the east side of the camp, but the attackers' firepower became more and more intense.

"Ready" Lai San, who was lying on the ground, slowly pulled the bolt of the submachine gun, and the Burmese lying beside him also began to unscrew the back cover of the grenade, revealing the pull ring. "Fight" With Lai San's loud shout, hundreds of Burmese who had been lurking under the noses of the Japanese army opened fire at the same time, and one after another dark red ballistics roared out and crossed the trench that Kazuo Haruta regarded as dependent, and the dense rain of bullets fanned towards the Japanese defense line guarding the south side of the camp.

"Grenade, bomb" Lai San grabbed a grenade next to him and threw it, and the Burmese, who had fired twice in a row, also threw their own grenades. "Boom", "boom", "boom" More than 100 grenades were thrown at a distance of 30 meters and fell into the Japanese camp, and the continuous and huge explosions tore the Japanese army's southern defense line to shreds, and the defense line guarded by more than 40 Japanese soldiers could withstand the bombardment of so many grenades. "Rush in" Lai San's muzzle swinged, and the Burmese carrying a wooden ladder behind him ran up quickly, and the Burmese with rifles walked across the trench and poured into the Japanese camp on the wooden ladder.

Under the powerful blow of 100 grenades, the southern defense line of the Japanese camp has been destroyed, and more than a dozen wounded soldiers are lying in a pool of blood wailing and unable to fight back, and the wolf-like Burmese have stepped on the ladder to attack. The wounded Japanese soldiers who survived the explosion saw a bright bayonet walking towards them in the firelight, and with the sound of several "poof" sharp blades piercing into the flesh, the wounded Japanese soldiers immediately went to see their sunshine god.

"The Burmese people in the dog day really dare to play with their lives if they give a little benefit" Lai San, who was lying on his stomach outside the Japanese camp, did not participate in the charge, in fact, it was not just him, none of the two infiltrator squads participating in the night attack made a move to rush into the Japanese camp. Lai San took out the cigarette and before he lit it, he heard the sound of heavy machine gun fire in the Japanese camp, and the Burmese who had just stepped on the ladder and rushed into the camp were beaten back by the Japanese heavy machine guns.

"Damn a bunch of fools, you deserve to be hit by heavy machine guns" Lai San snatched the sniper rifle in the hands of the mercenaries next to him and aimed at the heavy machine gun, and fired three shots in succession, and after three shots, the heavy machine guns in the Japanese camp stopped. The Burmese, who had suffered heavy casualties and were suppressed by the Japanese heavy machine guns, got up and charged again, this time they learned to be obedient, rounded their arms and threw grenades as if they didn't need money, and Kazuo Haruta's originally sturdy camp was a mess by this group of Burmese.

"Ba Ge Yalu, how did the damn Burmese get together with the thunder" The attackers who attacked from the camp on the south side were obviously Burmese, which made Kazuo Haruta particularly annoyed by the enemy. Knowing that these Burmese would help Thunder, the moment they set foot in Burma, they should have killed all the Burmese talents, Kazuo Haruta, who drew his command knife, personally rushed over with more than a dozen Japanese soldiers to meet the Burmese, and the southern defense line must be snatched back, otherwise the entire camp will collapse.
