French sat by the river, nibbling on a piece of dry bread. His face was a little not good, and the road was more difficult than he imagined. From 7 a.m. to now, they have been marching for more than six hours, but they have only walked less than 25 kilometers. Moreover, the soldiers are already very tired, and if they continue like this, they will have to walk the whole way, and I am afraid they will have to wait until tomorrow night.

For this battle plan, French himself has a lot of confidence. He is confident that with more than 5,000 British ** teams in his hands, it is enough to inflict a sharp blow on the Western Sichuan Army. When the time comes, there will be Henry? With Wellesley's frontal cooperation, they will definitely be able to tear through the defense line of the Western Sichuan Army. In that case, it would not be impossible to defeat the Western Sichuan Army. As long as he wins, what awaits him will undoubtedly be flowers, applause and promotion. He will be the pride of the British Army. However, now, the reality seems to be a little different from what he expected!

In addition, French did not expect at all that the Western Sichuan Army, which arrived in Mara, was not two brigades at all, but three. Moreover, there is already a brigade of troops with the same purpose as him, and they are already about to meet him. At that time, he should no longer think about victory, but how to escape the attack of the Western Sichuan Army.

Jack was an ordinary senior soldier in the British Army, and because of his family's poor background, he chose to come to India to serve. In this way, you can pay a pound more per month than you would in your home country. In addition, in the colony, he can still enjoy very good treatment, and he can also have some foreign water, so that he can retire and return to China after a few years in India. After returning home after retiring from the army, Henry had already thought that the retirement money plus the salary he praised would be enough for him to buy a piece of land in the countryside, and it would be a very good plan to be a small farmer. When the time comes, he will also be able to complete a beautiful encounter with an English country girl, and then form a family under God's witness. Give birth to your own child. What a wonderful thing that is!

That's Jack's dream. Now, however, his dreams seem to be shattered. Because of the orders of those damned generals, they had to leave the garrison barracks. Go to the plateau to fight. Jack swears he's never been so scared. After the comrades around him fell one by one, he didn't know when it would be his turn. He found that the yellow-skinned monkeys were completely different from what he had heard. In his cognition. Those yellow-skinned monkeys dragged long pig tails behind their heads, and as soon as the guns of the British ** team rang out, they were scared to the core. And now, what happened on the battlefield completely turned Jack's perception upside down. The combat effectiveness of those squadrons is not weaker than them at all. Even tougher. This makes Jack very worried about whether he will be able to survive and return to his homeland.

This morning, the troops began to march, and this hellish road is very difficult to follow. Jack once saw two unlucky ghosts who were walking ahead of him, and because they had accidentally fallen off a mountain road and into a rushing river. In the blink of an eye, it was gone. It made his legs and stomach tremble with fright. If it weren't for the officer's reprimand, he would have run away a long time ago. However, this also left a lot of shadows in Jack's heart.

Now that the troops were resting, Jack found his legs as if they had been filled with lead. He sat on a large rock by the river and rubbed his stiff legs. Then he took a loaf of bread out of his pocket and ate it with the cool water that he had brought from the river.

At a distance of less than four hundred meters from Jack. Du Qizheng, the commander of the 9th Brigade of the Western Sichuan Army, led the thousands of soldiers of the 1st Battalion. They take cover with the help of grass and rocks. Heavy machine guns, mortars and the only two Type 2 infantry guns in the battalion have been erected. The British on the opposite side. Their arrival was not noticed. Therefore, Du Qi was preparing to launch a surprise attack on them, and then enter the British army, and after the follow-up troops arrived, the British army would be completely defeated and eaten. Of course, he did not forget and asked the signal corps to report their encounter with the British to Wang Yuze.

"Ready, fire!" At 2:20 p.m. on April 6, Du Qizheng gave the order to start the attack.

"Boom!" All the artillery of the Western Sichuan Army opened fire. One by one, the shells smashed the heads of the Britons who were resting by the river and eating lunch.

"Boom!" The shell exploded in the British army, blowing the British soldiers straight away. Shrapnel flies sideways, wantonly harvesting lives.

"Da Da Da!" Twelve heavy machine guns of the 1st Battalion of the 9th Brigade also opened fire, and a large number of bullets swept towards the panicked British soldiers, knocking them to the ground.

"Enemy attack! Get ready for battle! At this time, the British army sounded a terrible order. Private Jack immediately lay down behind the boulder at the moment when the cannonball was guaranteed, buried his head low, and prayed for God to bless him. As for letting him pick up a rifle and fight with the Western Sichuan Army, to hell with it, how is that possible? He didn't want to die!

The Western Sichuan Army recklessly harvested the lives of the British soldiers with their powerful firepower, and the sound of shelling, machine guns and rifles rang out. Almost every second, a British soldier loses his life.

"Artillery fires, heavy machine guns are set up, ready to counterattack!" After a brief moment of panic, French immediately calmed down. He hid behind a boulder, shouted loudly, and directed his troops to fight back.

"Your Excellency, the firepower of the Western Sichuan Army is too fierce, and our people are completely suppressed!" The commander of a colonel regiment reported to him. They did not expect to encounter the Western Sichuan Army here, let alone suffer a sudden attack by the Western Sichuan Army, and they suffered heavy losses in an unprepared situation.

"Retreat. Order all units to retreat in an orderly manner, and then launch a counterattack after exiting the fire strike range in western Sichuan! French immediately changed his order. Under the sudden blow of the Western Sichuan Army, these British soldiers were already panicked, and it seemed unlikely that they would fight back on the spot, braving the rain of bullets and bullets of the Western Sichuan Army. In addition, French found that although the fire of the Kawanishi Army was fierce, it seemed that there were not many personnel. In this case, they may not be without a chance.

The British soldiers carried out French orders very faithfully, and they retreated backwards with their waists bent. In the process, many British soldiers died at the gunpoint of the Western Sichuan Army. However, most of them escaped alive.

"Brigade commander, what to do? Are these foreign devils running away? The commander of the first battalion of the ninth brigade asked anxiously.

"Grandma's, fight. Brothers, get on the bayonet and get ready to charge! Du Qizheng ordered. Although this surprise attack caused considerable losses to the British, it did not hurt the other side's roots. If the other side reorganizes the army and even lays a defensive line, then in this narrow river valley, if they want to break through the British defense, I am afraid they will have to pay a huge price for casualties.

Under Du Qizheng's order, the soldiers of the Western Sichuan Army put bayonets into their rifles, and then jumped out of the trench and rushed towards the British ** team with a rainbow of momentum. Although, there are only more than 1,000 of them, and the British ** team is much more than them. And, in stature, they were also much shorter than the British soldiers. But they were not deterred by this, and they were convinced that the final victory would be theirs.

The western Sichuan army quickly caught up with the British ** team, and the two sides were strangled together. After the British ** team found that there were only more than 1,000 people in the western Sichuan army, and dared to rush up to fight with them with bayonets, they no longer ran away, and turned around and fought fiercely with the western Sichuan army.

The bull of British life is tall and powerful, and it is also a move to open and close when fighting bayonets. The Western Sichuan Army, on the other hand, suffered more in terms of strength, but they were more flexible, and even if the British soldiers were on top, they would not fall behind. However, they were much smaller than the British army in terms of troops, which made the situation of the western Sichuan army very bad. Soldiers of the Western Sichuan Army were constantly stabbed to death by British soldiers.

Fortunately, this situation did not last long, Zhang Ruifeng, the deputy commander of the Ninth Brigade, rushed to the battlefield with two battalions of troops, and after receiving the news from Du Qizheng and knowing that he had encountered the British army, he immediately ordered the troops below to give up their baggage and come quickly. Fortunately, it was not too late, and after the new force of the two battalions joined, the Western Sichuan Army suddenly stabilized its decline.

Brigadier General French sensed the crisis, and he knew that this time the battle plan had failed. Subsequently, he wanted to order a retreat, but now that the British army and the western Sichuan army had been strangled together, how could they retreat. Moreover, if you retreat now, there is a possibility that the collapse of the zhì army will be triggered.

Half an hour later, the chief of staff of the 9th Brigade, Qian Tailin, arrived with the remaining soldiers of the 9th Brigade. Suddenly, the situation on the battlefield developed in favor of the western Sichuan army. The British army was already completely suppressed.

By this time, French was powerless to recover, and he gave orders to the various units of the British army to break out. This shows that he has given up his command of the troops and has given up his efforts.

Next, the British soldiers who had already lost their fighting spirit and had already been oppressed by the Western Sichuan Army either chose to flee or surrender on the spot. And the Western Sichuan Army, for those British soldiers who fled, also sent pursuers to chase after them. They were not only trying to expand their gains, but also to keep their whereabouts so as not to expose their battle plans this time. However, the western Sichuan army was also very surprised by the narrow encounter with the British army here. Fortunately, they were victorious, otherwise it would not have been good to let such an army go around the back of the Western Sichuan Army. Although it may not be defeated, it will obviously be a bitter battle and will come at a great cost. Fortunately, it was the Sichuan West Army that won in the end, and luck seemed to be on their side!
