1967 The British army attacked
Lin Yuan continued: "Where did you get the news that the British army appeared in Lin Mengzhen? ”
Zhang Hua replied: "It was the Sultan of Brunei's subordinates who sued us." ”
Lin Yuan said: "Brunei is a small country that has not experienced a war for a long time, their reconnaissance ability cannot be overestimated, you immediately send our people to reconnoiter the enemy army on the opposite side, and I immediately order the 1st Amphibious Division to use helicopter transport troops to support you." ”
Zhang Hua agreed, brought Liu Wu over, and said: "I don't believe in the reconnaissance ability of the Brunei soldiers, you immediately lead your brothers to the border between Brunei and Malaya to reconnoiter Lin Mengzhen's troops." ”
Liu Wu said: "There are more than 20 kilometers from here to Lin Meng Town, should we find a way to find some modern means of transportation?" ”
"I'm going to ask Sudan to see if there are any cars in their country," Zhang said. Zhang Hua then came to the banquet, at this time the banquet was almost over, Zhang Hua asked the Sultan a question, and the Sultan immediately said: "A few months ago, the British gave me a car, and I used it a few times to store it. ”
Zhang Hua smiled: "That's right, the car will be lent to us." The Sultan then asked the car to be driven, and Liu Wu and his men inspected it, and found that the engine and gearbox were impressively printed with seven Chinese characters: designed and made in China.
Liu Wu took two warriors and found a Chinese as a guide, and drove to Lin Meng Town, where both sides of the road were full of green farmland and dense woods, a peaceful and peaceful scene.
After a while, the Chinese guide said: "A little further ahead is Lin Mengzhen." Liu Wu asked his subordinates to stop the car, took out his binoculars and looked into the distance, only to see a house at the end of the road, and asked, "Is that house in the distance Lin Mengzhen?" ”
The Chinese guide nodded, Liu Wu looked at both sides of Lin Mengzhen, and saw that there was a high slope in the east, and the top of the slope was a forest, the woods were very dense, and it was a good place for concealed reconnaissance, so Liu Wu said to his subordinates: "Drive the car to the woods on the side of the road and hide, let's go to the woods over there to reconnoitre." ”
Everyone hid the car, and then walked to the high slope, soon came to the high slope, from the top to look down, only to see a group of people in uniform, holding guns are sitting in the open space, the Chinese guide said to Liu Wu: "Their clothes are British military uniforms, we saw them when we went to Singapore." ”
At this time, another group of British soldiers came from a distance, and they also sat down in the open field, and Liu Wu understood: these people were gathering to rest, waiting for orders. Liu Wu asked the Chinese guide: "Where is the border guard post in Brunei?" ”
The Chinese pointed to the front with his hand and said, "Over there, the forest is blocking us, and we can't see it." Liu Wu thought for a while, waved his hand, and led a few people to the other side, and then saw three small houses standing on the road, in front of the small houses stood a few Brunei soldiers with Malay swords hanging from their waists, and opposite them, stood a group of British soldiers.
This place is relatively close to the British soldiers, so Liu Wu used a telescope to see clearly the equipment on the British soldiers: a Li? Enfield Type 3 rifle, this kind of gun did not appear in Lin Yuan's time, is an automatic rifle developed by Britain in this era, using the principle of gas conduction automatic, 7.8 mm caliber, thirty round magazine.
Each British soldier carried four magazines and a carrying bag around his waist, and the contents of the carrying bag could not be seen clearly, but a soldier took out a cylindrical thing from the carrying bag and put it under the barrel, Liu Wu could see that it was a grenade launcher.
Liu Wu looked at the faces of the British soldiers again, and found that everyone was white-skinned, blond, blue-eyed, and high-nosed, obviously British.
Liu Wu immediately contacted Zhang Hua and said: "Report to Commander Zhang, we have already reconnoitred the situation of the enemy army in Lin Mengzhen, the number is about two thousand, and it is still increasing, the soldiers are all blonde and blue-eyed, well-equipped, it should be a British regular army!" ”
Zhang Hua said: "Very good, you continue to reconnoitre. ”
Liu Wu turned off the communicator, and at this moment, a tall British soldier walked to the front of the sentry post, this tall man's combat uniform was no different from that of ordinary soldiers, the distance was too far, and Liu Wu couldn't see his rank clearly, but looking at the movements of this tall man, Liu Wu knew that he was an officer.
I saw the officer and the Brunei sentry talking something, suddenly, the officer reached out and took out his pistol and pointed it at the Brunei sentry, and then the sentry fell backwards, Liu Wu was taken aback and said, "The British have shot!" The sentry fell backwards, the other sentries drew their Malay swords one after another, and the British soldiers all raised their guns, although Liu Wu couldn't hear the gunshots, but when he saw the Brunei sentries falling to the ground, he knew: The British soldiers have fired!
The sentries fell to the ground and died, and several British soldiers went up to throw their bodies on the side of the road, and then the large army took to the road and went straight to the capital of Brunei: Brunei City! Liu Wu immediately contacted Zhang Hua: "Report to Commander Zhang, the British army has killed all the Brunei sentinels!" He has taken to the highway and attacked the city of Brunei. ”
Zhang Hua said: "You come back first, don't confront the British on the way." ”
Liu Wu agreed, and drove back to the palace from the path, at this time in the Brunei palace, the sultan was already in chaos, and everything was listening to Zhang Hua and Zhong Xinyuan's command, Zhang Hua said: "Brother Zhong, you command the troops to fight the British army, I will get in touch with Lin Shuai immediately." ”
After Zhang Hua finished speaking, he contacted Lin Yuan and reported that the British army had killed the Brunei sentries and invaded the Brunei border, and Lin Yuan immediately called the British Governor Staunder: "The Chinese religious visiting group is still in Brunei, and the British brazenly attacking Brunei is not targeting the Chinese religious visiting delegation?" Please ask the British side to explain. ”
Standy's reply shocked Lin Yuan, because the reply read: "The British side does not know that there are British troops entering Brunei, and if British troops enter Brunei, it will be a normal military visit, and it will never be aimed at a third party." ”
Lin Yuan received the telegram and scolded in his heart: "What a 'normal military visit', killing other people's sentries is also part of the military visit?" The British are pretending to be confused with us, and I have no choice but to let the front line beat this British army hard, otherwise the British will definitely not be honest! ”
Thinking of this, Lin Yuan sent a telegram to Zhang Hua: "Use a qiē method to annihilate the British troops attacking Brunei and deter the British army!" ”
Zhang Hua then forwarded the telegram to Zhong Xinyuan, and during this time, the helicopter successively transported more than 300 marines to Brunei City and handed them over to Zhong Xinyuan's command, Zhong Xinyuan called the commanders of the various units together, and said: "There are more than 2,000 British troops, and Lin Shuai instructed us to eliminate them all, so I decided: prepare an ambush for the British army!" ”
