The northern border of Nepal. The rumbling of artillery constantly came from the front line. It has been five days since the war began.

Five days ago, the Chinese's foreign ministry officially declared war on Nepal, and then their Tibetan corps launched an artillery bombardment on Nepal on the same day. After that, airships were dispatched to carry out large-scale air strikes, and on the third day of the fire, Chinese troops poured into Nepal.

The Tibetan Corps is the weakest regiment in the Chinese National Defense Force, there is no heavy artillery of more than 120mm here, there is no too much steel torrent, and even the ratio of heavy machine guns and light machine guns is a grade lower than that of their friendly troops, all because of the difficult traffic environment of this plateau.

But compared with the small country of Nepal, this kind of armament is also the advantage of Mount Tai. In terms of firepower, it is absolutely superior, and the latter's armament is compared to the Wehrmacht, which is the eight-way locust army during the anti-Japanese war!

As the boss of Nepal, the British hurriedly mobilized a large number of military supplies to Nepal after receiving the news of China's declaration of war on Nepal, but this took time. In order to give Nepal confidence, the British colonial government in India sent hundreds of officers to Nepal urgently.

The entire Nepalese kingdom has less than 50,000 troops, and hundreds of British officers have been able to show themselves in the eyes of most of the Nepalese army. Although for many of these officers, Nepal is a completely alien land, where it is difficult for them to even survive on their own, if they lose their translators.

Brooks is one such person who even speaks a few words of Chinese, but for Nepali. Even though this thing belongs to the Indic family, the whole of India is spoken in English.

Where to find the second battalion of the 17th regiment? Brooks was confused. All he got from the command was an order. But I didn't give myself a clear direction to be indicated.

Just then, his diminutive interpreter came into view. was running towards him, and hurriedly shouted: "Hey! "May God willing, the interpreter can find the location of the second battalion of the 17th regiment.

The translator ran up to Brooks and gave a salute: "Lieutenant! "He's found a place. Looking at the smile on the face of the translator who was panting, Brooks also had a smile on his face for the first time today.

Brooks followed the interpreter and walked for ten minutes to find the second battalion of the 17th Regiment, and the overall atmosphere was still very relaxed, because the Chinese had the Nepalese army on the front line resisting, and they were at most reserve.

Besides, war, death. It's not a terrible thing for Nepalis with a strong personality. During the war, their salaries were twice as much as usual, and when they went to war, they doubled, and three times their salaries could make these Nepalis fearless!

Therefore, the whole British advisory group is very speechless, and this group of people living under the Himalayas can be described as 'fearless because of ignorance'.

The Chinese are the most feared enemies of the British Empire. Especially on land! They were a greater deterrent than the Germans.

"I don't know if these Nepalese will have such a relaxed mentality after they go to the battlefield!" But regardless of whether Brooks was angry or not, he still felt good about the atmosphere of the troops. It's better to take it easy. It's better than trembling, a good leader of a team that is about to fall apart at any time.

The commander of the 2nd Battalion, Madhav. Kumar welcomed Brooks with a very humble and respectful attitude. "Mr. Lieutenant, welcome." Madhav. Kumar also speaks fluent English. This greatly increased the joy in Brooks's heart. "Brooks salutes you, Mr. Major." Brooks doesn't feel like he's been so lucky. He doesn't even know it now. What was in front of them did nothing to help the Nepalese Army in two days' time, let alone know that there were only two good days left in 1911.

……

Two days later. The footsteps of the Wehrmacht did not stop, and the 17 regiment was pulled into position.

"Boom, boom, boom......" shells burst. The earth shook.

The deafening explosions seemed to never stop. Brooks is going crazy!

In this war, which has no question of justice or injustice, Nepalese soldiers have indeed shown their bravery in the face of death. The second battalion was in the battle for two hours into the war. Already attrition is up to 30%, a figure that is enough for the collapse of the troops. There were only three hundred and sixty-one people left in the battalion who could still fight. But the Nepalese are still suffering in silence, without panic and shouting. The soldiers of the second battalion were still very determined to fight, and the huge casualties did not seem to affect their high morale in the slightest.

In a short time, Brooks became acquainted with most of the people in the 2nd Battalion headquarters.

Captain Nipal, a deputy battalion commander who couldn't even look at a military map; Ramsay. Lieutenant Balan, a brave company commander; Captain Yadav, a company commander who would not have a single point of fire, but he was just as brave. In hand-to-hand combat, there was no one in the entire second battalion who could defeat him, and his scimitar once harvested the lives of two wild leopards; Second Lieutenant Prachanda, the smartest man in the entire 2nd Battalion, and the staff officer of the battalion headquarters!

So, do you see the problem with the second battalion? The entire officer class, the military quality is seriously low, and what they have is only the courage of a horseman!

However, bravery is not a substitute for guns, nor can they resist guns!

These Nepalese soldiers in cloth hats have an indomitable patriotic passion, and regardless of the unpopular rule of the Rana family in Nepal, the current image of the Chinese is undoubtedly that of invaders. All the Nepalese soldiers had a positive attitude of resistance, just as they had resisted the British.

"Major, the enemy will soon launch a larger attack." Brooks didn't have any greetings and went straight to the battalion commander Maduff. "We've just been restocked with ammunition, but we're seriously understaffed, and I'm worried that we'll not have enough troops to defend if the enemy attacks," Kumar said. ”

"So, we need support!"

"Mr. Lieutenant, this is not what a British Empire officer should say." Madhav. Kumar rejected him with a serious expression, and his tone was more stern than ever. You have to know the mercenary-turned-madhav. Kumar's respect for the British is not ordinary, it is respect and reverence: "This is cowardice. Lieutenant. Your words like this will shake the morale of the army before the war. ”

"Yes, Major. I also don't think that's a good time to say. But I have to report back to you on the current dire situation. Brooks was a stubborn man and a man who feared death, but he still stuck to his opinion: "I think we must ask the regimental headquarters for reinforcements, at least to make up for our losses first." "There were only 360 men left in the second battalion, and when the Chinese came over again, they could not hold a 270-meter-long defensive line at all.

"Mr. Brooks, there are no reinforcements for the second battalion." Captain Nipal, the deputy battalion commander with gauze wrapped around his head, looked full of contempt: "It's just us. If you are cowardly, you can leave our ranks. "In Nipal's eyes, this military adviser is purely afraid of death! What is understaffed. There are not enough troops, all of them are excuses.

Swept away by Nipal's gaze, Brooks felt as if all the secrets had been exposed, and the shame in his heart turned into great anger in an instant, and he seemed to have been greatly insulted, and his face flushed: "You can't insult me like that, Captain. The soldiers of the British Empire are always willing to sacrifice their lives for their homeland, but the life of every soldier of the British Empire is a priceless treasure that cannot be sacrificed blindly. I believe that the same can be said for the Nepal Army. ”

"Any blind sacrifice is foolish. And not brave! ”

"If I said something wrong, I will apologize to you." Nipal was a rough man, and when he heard the interpreter's words, he immediately looked up at Brooks. Although there was still some hesitation in his eyes, he also took Brooks's words as true. Madhav. Kumar was different, having worked for many years as a mercenary in the Gurkha battalions of the British Empire. It is clear what kind of army the army of the British Empire was, if it was courage. He thought the Nepalese army would destroy the British. So Brooks is telling a lie, and it's an excuse he makes to hide his cowardice. But Madhav. Kumar can't debunk all this. This is not good for him at all, and it is not good for the current war. So he restrained his emotions and said to Brooks, "Lieutenant, you're quite right. But we have no reinforcements. I don't want to hear anything like that before the fight. ”

After speaking, he gathered everyone in the battalion headquarters together: "Brothers, soldiers, today is the first day of our battalion on the battlefield, and it may also be the last day of our battalion on this battlefield. The next attack of the Chinese will be even more ferocious, and they can crush our entire battalion to powder at any time. But we still have to stand firmly here, not flinching, not timid.

This is our land, the land where our nation has lived for generations, and our dignity and glory. We can't back down!

Now I want to tell you that from now on, all the people in the battalion headquarters will enter the battlefield at any time, and I will lead you to fight with the soldiers in the trenches. If I die at the hands of the enemy, then Captain Nipal will take over the command, and then a company of Ram. Lieutenant Balan, Captain Yadav of the 2nd Company......"

"All of us, whether it is the battalion headquarters, the soldiers outside, all of us, we must be ready to sacrifice. We don't have reinforcements, we only have our own forces. Gather the courage to win, hold the belief that you will die, and fight bravely. For Nepal, for our home! ”

"For Nepal, for our home!" The entire battalion headquarters burst out with a neat and loud answer after a brief silence.

"For Nepal, for our home!" Slowly, the spark burned into the prairie and finally became a general trend, and the entire front line of the Nepal Army was resounding with this very uplifting slogan.

Of course, the Wehrmacht on the opposite side heard.

Zhu Daizhen, deputy captain of the 88th Integrated Division and the Ninth Mechanized Infantry Brigade of the Tibetan Corps, listened to the translator's translation, and snorted with disdain. The Chinese army is very advocating the spirit of bravery, but the Chinese army's bravery is built on the construction of strong armaments and is not afraid of sacrifice, for the Nepalese army, which is seriously backward in equipment, in Zhu Daizhen's view, Nepal's complex terrain is their greatest advantage.

-- Relying on geographical superiority to fight guerrilla warfare and small-scale engagement, at present, such a large corps fighting head-on is a pure failure!

Blind this group of brave Nepalese.

The "boom, boom, boom, boom" shelling has begun again, and this is a precursor to a new round ......of offensive by the Corps stationed in Tibet.

Fifteen minutes later, the shelling extended deep into the positions of the Nepalese, and then the sound of roaring machines sounded on the opposite side. More than 20 tanks and more than 10 armored vehicles rumbled towards the front-line positions of the Nepalese, and behind them were a large number of soldiers of the Tibetan Corps.

The Nepalese simply did not have enough anti-tank weapons in their hands. IDF artillery also weakened the firepower of the Nepalese, especially from the front, to the extreme. When dozens of armored tanks rumbled over, what did the Nepalese have to resist them? All they have are human lives and explosives packs!

"Dada...... Dadada......"

In the tongue of fire from the machine guns, a rain of bullets rushed in.

"Boom! Rumble! ”

In the roar of the artillery, one shell after another fell to the ground with a whistling sound, the explosion was deafening, shrapnel flew in all directions, and people continued to fall in the fire net formed by the rain of bullets and shrapnel, some died on the spot, and others let out a miserable howl, hitting the nerves of everyone.

No matter how tenacious the Nepalese people are, in the face of pure slaughter, in the face of repeated 'annihilation', it is impossible to be demoralized.

But the next wave of death squads rushed out.

Zhu Daizhen got out of the armored car, took a closer look, and shouted to the car: "Xiao Wang, help me suppress the opposite fire!" Old Ray, aim some! He turned over and jumped out of the armored car and shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Quick, grenades, you guys have grenades ready!" There was no time to make superfluous explanations, so Zhu Daizhen said loudly: "Brothers—"

"Pull the fuse, three seconds delay, I'll count to three and throw it out together!"

Zhu Daizhen held a 25-year-old long-handled grenade in his hand, "Pull the fuse!" The words fell, and the fuse was pulled out.

"One-two-three-throw!"

The grenades were thrown, and the explosion of 'boom-boom' filled the air, and the screams of the Nepalese were heard, and it was clear that their death squad had not been spared by the explosion of twenty or thirty grenades.

At this moment, Zhu Daizhen had a new move, and he took the opportunity of gunsmoke and dust to obscure the sight of the opposite side, and pulled the two light machine gunners beside him, and the three of them rushed into the gunsmoke.

A crisp shot rang out...... (To be continued.) )
