In this battle, the number of participants in the squadron was 8,600, and the British army was 2,700, and the Chinese soldiers were well prepared, and the battle was strong, and with an angry mood and a stubborn mood to prove themselves, it was another midnight attack, which made the British ** team and the Indian dogs who imitated their masters from head to toe immediately fall into a collapse situation.

The resistance was the weakest, and the first to be captured were the defenders of Manglai Village.

Within an hour of the 257th Regiment commander Honlinger leading 1,300 men to launch a general attack on Manglai, the Indian defenders were frightened by the rapid attack and deadly charge of the Chinese, and an hour and a half later, Manglai was captured. In the darkness of the battle, 22 Chinese soldiers were killed and 78 wounded, and four of the dead soldiers were hit by Chinese own stray bullets......

The Indians in Manglai Village were not more than 500 people, but 200 people, and only 24 British ** officers were in charge, and these British ** officers were unfortunately hit by the grenades fired by the Chinese in the tent, and the head was swept by light machine guns just now, and the result was that the officers were killed in the first place. The reason why the Indians resisted for an hour and a half was because they always thought that the British master was still there, and the main master was there, so they had confidence, but unfortunately, this time they did not see the British master until they were completely annihilated by the Chinese.

Forty-six Indian soldiers were killed, fifty-one were wounded, and one hundred and seventeen were captured. But these Indians are very unconvinced, you Chinese carry out sneak attacks, you actually carry out sneak attacks, or in the middle of the night, it is really ungentlemanly!

Hun Linger counted the number of casualties among the soldiers. Sadly, he said, "It seems that night battles are also risky, damn it, my twenty-two brothers." ”

At this time, non-commissioned officers reported that Indian prisoners were demanding humane treatment. I hope you will be able to prioritize the treatment of their captives.

"Whoever treats them first?" Hung Linger was taken aback, did this Indian eat too much curry? Eat the brain? Or did you drink too much water from the Ganges and drink stupidly?

Yun Daihui, the commander of the second battalion, who had the most casualties among his subordinates, immediately said: "Tuanzuo, leave these people to me, and I will give priority to treating them." ”

"You? How is it treated? Hung Linger asked.

"Humane treatment." Yun Daihui pursed his lips and smiled maliciously.

Hong Linger looked at this kid, this kid has a bad stomach on weekdays, this kid is from Rehe. There is a proverb in the Republic of China called Rehe, there are no good people! It is said that during the Republic of China, the most cunning and worst thieves in China came from Rehe, which was really a den of thieves. What good ideas can this Rehe-born officer come up with. It's nothing more than killing prisoners to vent anger. Forget it, just act as if you don't know anything, hesitate for a while before saying, "It's all up to you, treat it humanely." ”

"Yes! Guaranteed humanity! Yun Daihui immediately ordered the captives to be tied up. Then take it to the woods. Then the soldiers were ordered to take bayonets and pick them all. When a few Shanxi soldiers and Shaanxi soldiers in the second battalion were still hesitating, those Yunnan soldiers and Guizhou soldiers immediately rushed forward with a shout.

"Poof!"

"Poof!"

The bearded soldiers fell to the ground screaming, bleeding profusely, and by the time a few northern soldiers tried to stretch out their hands, these captives had already been killed by everyone. The hesitation of a few northern soldiers made the southern soldiers laugh and joke sarcastically. A few northern soldiers shook their heads and said that it was not that we were afraid, but that this order had never been heard. Not adapting. In the past, when the northern warlords were fighting, they did not kill the captured soldiers. Redeem it with money when it's over.

“**！ So Suo (said), the Dian army is invincible. A Yunnan soldier laughed.

Yun Daihui admired the decisiveness of these southern soldiers in carrying out their orders, and laughed and boasted: "The king of the jungle, the Yunnan and Guizhou army." ”

The battle that took place in Banhong took the British by surprise at first, and then Xiao Yaonan's troops encountered stubborn resistance, and it turned out that the British left the battalion composed entirely of British in Banhong, and transferred some Indian soldiers to Banban Mountain to resist Li Shucheng's troops.

This force was not very skilled in terms of combat, but the pride of the British made them extremely tenacious, and they could lose to the Germans, the French, and the Americans, but they could lose to the Chinese - absolutely not. The British, with about 500 men, hid in the silver mines, relying on the factories to resist.

Xiao Yaonan saw that the enemy was hiding in the Banhong silver mine and resisting stubbornly, so he immediately ordered me to throw grenades, and the grenades kept fighting. After a while, Liu Bin, the commander of the third battalion of the 258th Regiment, rescued all the workers in the mine, and those workers immediately joined the siege of the British. One of the small Han men ran up to Xiao Yaonan and said, "I know a path into the mine. ”

"You are?"

"I'm the owner of the Banhong Silver Mine." The little man smiled wryly and said that since the British had entered Banhong, he, the owner, had been caught and thrown into the mine before he could leave.

Xiao Yaonan was surprised by the owner's path, and after his introduction, it turned out that there was an underground passage in the silver mine that led to the owner's bedroom. It's just that the owner of the field was arrested before he had time to escape into the bedroom......

At that moment, Liu Bin took the initiative to personally lead the soldiers into the mine and kill the British.

Xiao Yaonan patted Liu Bin on the shoulder and said, "You kid pay attention to safety, we have to drink celebration wine tomorrow." ”

"Yes, Counselor! But the Hubei guys can't drink us Shandong. Liu Bin said with a smile.

Xiao Yaonan kicked Liu Bin's buttocks, Liu Bin ran away with a smile, picked a company of death squads, operated submachine guns, light machine guns, and grenades, and the firepower was extremely powerful. Under the leadership of Liu Bin, the death squad immediately burrowed into the hole and crawled to the owner's bedroom.

The troops attacking from the periphery were much weaker because their submachine guns and some light machine guns were removed, and because they were afraid of hurting their brothers, they did not dare to let go of their grenades at will. This time it gave the British a great boost of confidence, and it turned out that Chinese only had this ability, and they withered......

About an hour later, a violent exchange of fire erupted inside the silver mines, and Liu Bin's death squads rushed out of the core of the silver mines with automatic weapons, and three soldiers climbed the tall buildings and began to fire at the British with light machine guns.

By this time it was getting brighter.

Xiao Yaonan ordered the attack, and more than 2,000 people began a new attack on the silver mine defended by the British, and at the same time, more than 1,000 miners also joined the attack.

And the attack on Banbanshan was also unusually smooth, because in addition to the infantry artillery, Li Shucheng also had ten 75 mountain guns on hand. At 12 o'clock in the night, when the general offensive began, Li Shucheng immediately ordered the artillery that had already been aimed at the British positions and hills to bombard indiscriminately.

The shelling lasted for nearly an hour, and the British Indian army, which had a low will to fight, began to show signs of rout. "The British ** officers did not expect that the squadron ** would use artillery bombardment, in their concept, the Chinese are at most machine guns and grenades, but they did not expect that the enemy mortars, infantry artillery, mountain artillery have them, which makes the British and Indians very headaches.

However, the squadron is also very troublesome, after all, the British army occupies the pass and the top of the mountain in the middle of the mountain, and the British officers are all officers who have participated in the European war, have rich combat experience, and occupy all advantageous positions. In the past few days of testing, the squadron found that although the Indian soldiers on the opposite side were wearing strange clothes, their marksmanship was better than that of the Chinese soldiers.

But the Chinese have artillery!

Ten 75 mountain guns, ten 70 infantry guns, ten 65 mortars, four 85 mortars.

In the midst of the cannonball, the Indian soldiers and British ** officers hid one after another, and Li Shucheng immediately called Kong Qiu, the commander of the 260th Regiment, and asked him to capture a peak of about 80 meters in the middle of the mountain. But it has the advantage that there is a relatively large flat land on the summit, and if the mortars are transported to it after the attack, the artillery range of the squadron can be expanded by two kilometers.

Kong Qiu immediately carried out the order and ordered the three battalions of the 260 regiment to attack, and the three battalions sent four platoons, two platoons feinted, and two platoons secretly touched. At this time, the benefits of Yunnan soldiers are properly reflected, they are thin but more flexible, especially the strength in the body that does not admit defeat is really admirable. After falling down in the process of climbing, he did not say a word, and would rather fall to his death than speak.

Twenty minutes later, the two attacking platoons rushed up and killed more than 20 Indian soldiers and two British ** officers on the mountain peak.

After the 80 peaks were captured, Li Shucheng transferred the artillery to the top of the peak, and bombarded the pass and other peaks again.

In the darkness of the night, the Indian soldiers soon collapsed, and they retreated one after another, firing their guns. Several British **** officers raised their weapons and shouted: "The Chinese can't beat us!" ”

But this time the Indian soldiers did not listen to the officer, and ran backwards.

In the midst of the artillery fire, the squadron saw the collapse of the other side, and immediately stopped the shelling and shooting, and Cao Lu, the commander of the first battalion of the 259th Regiment, raised his bayonet and shouted: "The British are defeated!" Kill! The first horse rushed over, and more than 4,600 people from the two regiments shouted "kill" at the same time, which frightened several Indian soldiers who were holding on to it and immediately turned around and ran.

In the dark night, everyone didn't know where to run, and they ran to the Chinese.

These Indians are extremely easy to recognize, because they always wrap their heads with white cloth layer by layer like a big bun, as long as they see a white shadow, they must be Indians.

It took Li Shucheng's troops four hours to completely overcome the defenses of Banbanshan, and then he commanded the 260th Regiment to continue the attack on Banbanzhai, while the 257th Regiment was responsible for cleaning up the battlefield and capturing the routs who had fled into the forest, guarding the remaining British and Indian prisoners.
