The 252nd Regiment marched to the 365 Heights under the leadership of the regiment commander Sun Siming, the highlands on both sides of the old Siam Highway are densely populated, and the jungles here are all tropical jungles, there are many winding plants in the tropical jungles, these plants are mostly rattans, which are wound on the Wangtian trees that are more than 50 meters high, and the rattans hang down and block the road.

In order to achieve the purpose of the surprise attack, the 252nd Regiment chose to touch the tropical forest from the inaccessible track, so the soldiers held machetes in their hands and opened a way in the tropical forest, and from time to time they would encounter a few turbulent streams, and the soldiers swam across.

After marching for more than three hours, the 365 heights finally appeared in front of him, but at this moment, a soldier suddenly fell down with a scream, and the regiment commander Sun Siming was nearby, hurriedly came over, only to see a steel beast clamped dead on the soldier's calf, the steel teeth bit into the flesh, and the blood flowed.

Sun Siming hurriedly beckoned someone to open the trap, the trap was very tight, and the four of them worked together to break it open, and the medical guard bandaged the wounded soldier, and the wounded soldier endured the pain and said: "Regiment commander, that trap must have been put by the war elephant army in Siam." ”

Sun Siming asked, "How can you be sure that it wasn't put by a hunter?" ”

The warrior said, "You can see that trap, it is painted green, how can a hunter paint a trap?" It must have been the people of the War Elephant Legion who were worried that someone would see the traps, so they painted them. ”

Sun Siming's heart moved, and he thought: "This soldier is right, this trap is indeed not put by hunters, it is deserted here, and the War Elephant Legion actually put traps here, obviously worried that someone is approaching the 365 heights, which shows that their vigilance is very high." ”

Sun Siming was thinking about it, when the injured soldier suddenly had convulsions all over his body, foaming at the mouth, and soon fell into a coma, Sun Siming hurriedly asked the military doctor: "What's the matter?" ”

"I'm not sure what's going on, but I think it's most likely that the trap has some kind of poison on it, and there are a lot of poisonous animals and plants in the rainforest, and we can't be sure of the species," said the medic. ”

Sun Siming asked, "Is this warrior in danger?" ”

The military doctor shook his head again and said that he didn't know, Sun Siming thought for a while and said, "Send two soldiers and send him back to the rear field hospital." The military doctor then sent two soldiers to evacuate the wounded soldiers, Sun Siming couldn't help but be a little worried: "There are countless ways to set traps in the tropical rainforest, and we are about to reach the 365 heights ahead, I don't know what the War Elephant Legion has prepared for us, and if we go further, we will definitely suffer heavy casualties." ”

Sun Siming waved his hand when he thought of this, and said to everyone: "Let's go back first!" ”

A battalion commander passed by and said, "Regiment commander? Are we really going back? It's taken us a while to get here. ”

Sun Siming frowned and said, "The War Elephant Legion has set a trap array for us, if we break into it, we will be fools!" Let's withdraw first. ”

The battalion commander then led everyone to return to the camp according to the original way, on the way back, two more soldiers triggered the trap and died on the spot, Sun Siming returned to the camp and learned: the soldier who was caught by the beast died in ten minutes after arriving at the camp hospital, and the camp doctor did not know what kind of poison the Siamese army used, and the two escorted soldiers were very excited to see the sacrifice of their comrades, and made a big fuss in the hospital.

Sun Siming reprimanded the two fighters and asked them to go to the hospital to apologize to the doctors and nurses, and the two soldiers came back and told Sun Siming: "The 251st Regiment and the 250th Regiment have sent more people, and our regiment is right to withdraw!" ”

At about ten o'clock in the evening, the 251st Regiment and the 250th Regiment also withdrew one after another, because they were also intercepted by the trap of the War Elephant Legion, the two regiments killed more than 40 soldiers and wounded more than 70 people, and the three regiments reported the results of the battle to the division commander Yun Tiangang, Yun Tiangang slapped the table as soon as he heard the battle report, and scolded: "Look at the 29th Division, the Beijiang River was pacified without much shooting, look at the 60th Division, the encirclement of Vientiane was relieved in one battle, our 28th Division is good, More than 100 casualties were killed and wounded without even seeing the faces of the Siamese! Sue Sun Siming and them, take down the highland group for me within 24 hours, and if you can't take it down, you will all take off your military uniform and go to the Yunnan Wildlife Park to raise elephants! ”

As soon as Yun Tian finished scolding the three regiment commanders, he called Lin Yuan and reported the losses, Lin Yuan thought about it and said: "You might as well change your way of thinking to attack the highland group, it is good for you to use the method of infiltration and sneak attack, but there is one thing: you are good at infiltrating and sneaking attack, the War Elephant Legion is also good at infiltrating and sneaking attack, you know how to set traps, and the War Elephant Legion also understands." ”

"So, your current way of playing is to hit the enemy's blade with the blade, even if you cut off the opponent's knife, our knife will collapse, why don't we cut the blade at the enemy's soft stomach and neck?"

Yun Tiangang heard Lin Yuan say this, and immediately said: "Lin Shuai, you are asking us to use our strengths to attack the opponent's shortcomings, I understand, I will do it." ”

Yun Tiangang immediately ordered: the 250th Regiment attacked Dayang Town to block the Siamese reinforcements, and the 251st Regiment and the 252nd Regiment pushed along the road line between the highland groups, opened the road with tanks, followed by self-propelled mortars, and threw a base number of shells first when they met the war elephant regiment on the high ground!

The first to ignite the fire of war was Dayang Town, which was an important transit point for Siamese military supplies, and the 250th Regiment transferred the light 105mm howitzer battalions of the three regiments and bombarded Dayang Town.

The Siamese army, despite the support of the British, was still very weak, they had no concrete to build fortifications, only earth and mud, and a single cannonball could lift a bunker away, and the shelling lasted for ten hours, bombing the entire town of Dayang into an empty city. The artillery fire of Lin Yuan's troops was unparalleled in the world, and the Siamese army had never seen such an artillery bombardment - the shells were barely spaced, and the explosions barely stopped.

So the army and residents of Dayang Town fled one after another, only hating their father and mother for giving birth to two legs! At the same time as the town of Dayang was being shelled, the highland group was also undergoing a baptism of fire, and the newly formed Air Third Division flew over the highland group again and again, throwing tons and tons of black ladder mixed explosives on the heads of the Siamese army.

Sun Siming looked at the fire balls that erupted from time to time on the highland group and thought to himself: "Isn't the War Elephant Legion good at jungle warfare? That's good, we don't fight with you in the jungle, we compare firepower with you, in short, under the leadership of Lin Shuai, we will compare with you which one of you is weak! ”
