When the Sikhs heard the words of the British officer, their anger slowly dissipated, and they continued to look at the approaching Chinese armored group.

Zhuo Shiliang saw that the enemy camp was getting closer and closer, grabbed the communicator and said loudly: "Tank group, prepare to open fire, target the enemy barracks." ”

Fifteen tanks then aimed at the enemy barracks, and then fired shells, and the sound of "boom" and "boom" explosions sounded in the barracks, and the wind from the explosions made the faces of the Sikhs ache.

The Sikh legion's base was originally a small village, and there were some houses in it, some of the Sikhs lived in these houses, others set up tents, some shells directly destroyed the houses, and some shells overturned the tents, the Sikhs had never seen such strong firepower, and they were afraid for a while.

At this moment, the deputy commander of the Sikh legion, the Englishman Colonel Madson, rushed out of the command post and personally came to the front line trenches.

Zhuo Shiliang's ZH-99 was slowly advancing, Zhuo Shiliang's upper body leaned out of the car, suddenly, he felt his body suddenly light, and involuntarily crashed into the heavy machine gun in front of him, Zhuo Shiliang hurriedly stretched out his hand to support, so that he did not hit the heavy machine gun.

Zhuo Shiliang stretched out his hand to support the gun when his head was lowered suddenly, only to find that the ground suddenly sank, and the front of the car also rushed to the ground, without waiting for him to react, he only heard a loud "bang", his body shook violently, and hit the front edge of the hatch hard, fortunately there are flexible pads here, so he was not injured.

Only then did Zhuo Shiliang react, it turned out that his armored command vehicle had encountered a trap, and the armored command vehicle fell into the trap!

Zhuo Shiliang got back into the car and saw that several staff officers were hit on the head and bleeding, but fortunately there was no danger to his life, he hurriedly asked the driver: "Can you drive the car out of the pit?" ”

The driver said helplessly: "Regiment commander, the enemy's pit is 'V'-shaped, the slope is extremely large, and it is impossible for us to climb it." ”

It turned out that this trap was a great gift from the mouth of the British officers, they were the masterpiece of the Sikh army, if the Sikhs were just carrying explosive bags and rushing to the tanks, then they would be no different from the Indians in Calcutta, they actively used their brains to come up with all kinds of ways to deal with tanks, and the "V" shaped trap was one of them.

The Sikhs originally wanted to bury mines under the pit, but the mines were too high-end, they didn't have them, and neither did the British, after all, Delhi was not a fortress that the British army had painstakingly managed, so there was no reserve mine, and the Sikhs thought of putting the explosives bag at the bottom of the pit and letting the tanks blow them up, but the British army's explosives were extremely stable TNT, and the probability of the tank crashing into it and exploding was extremely low, so the Sikhs could only give up this idea.

Zhuo Shiliang saw his armored command vehicle fall into the pit, he was so angry in his heart, secretly thinking that I was the head of a group, and now everyone else is fine, but I myself fell into the pit, and I will have no face to see people in the future!

As soon as this idea came to mind, it was replaced by another new idea, which was that if my car encountered a pitfall, would other cars also encounter a pitfall? Now the troops should be ordered to stop advancing!

Zhuo Shiliang took out the communicator while thinking and sent a message to suspend the advance, and the other tank groups stopped one after another, Zhuo Shiliang then sent a message for help, and the same group of tanks immediately drove over, stopped more than ten meters away from the pit, and several infantry took the towing rope on the tank and buckled it to the towing hook of the armored command vehicle.

Just as the tank was about to pull the armored command vehicle out of the pit, the British commander on the opposite side, Colonel Madson, shouted: "Charge me!" ”

The Sikhs roared angrily and rushed towards the armored command vehicle, and when the two "hedgehog groups" nearby saw it, they immediately approached the armored command vehicle that fell into the pit, and the machine guns and machine guns opened fire together, but there were too many Sikhs rushing up, and after the next group rushed up, another group rushed up, and the fire of the two hedgehog groups was unexpectedly unstoppable.

Zhuo Shiliang immediately ordered to shrink across the board and move closer to me! When the hedgehog group received this order, they immediately retracted their formation and moved closer to Zhuo Shiliang, and the firepower of the Sikhs instantly increased several times, and many bullets also burst the Sikhs' explosives packets, blowing them up to the ground.

As the Sikhs got closer, the infantry joined the band, each squad with a 7.62mm light machine gun, and five infantrymen armed with grenades, which opened fire together, blocking the Sikh charge. In the five minutes that the tank pulled the armoured command vehicle out of the pit, at least 1,000 Sikhs were killed on the spot.

The news that the armored command vehicle had fallen into the pit was also reported to Fang Xianyang, and when Fang Xianyang heard the news, he was immediately furious, and shouted directly in the command headquarters: "What? Our armored command vehicle fell into the enemy's trap? What does Zhuo Shiliang eat? The enemy laid a trap and they didn't even find out? ”

A staff officer whispered: "Division commander, it seems that you can't find the enemy's trap, don't blame Commander Zhuo Shiliang?" ”

Fang Xianyang said: "Didn't they report just now that the Sikhs were charging at them with explosives bags? How could the Sikhs not fall into the pit? ”

The staff officer said: "It may be that the Sikhs made a mark on the pit, or it may be that the pit is covered with a layer of something, and it is okay for people to step on it, but it will not work if the armored vehicle presses on it." ”

Fang Xianyang thought for a moment, grabbed the communicator and shouted, "Zhuo Shiliang? Give Lao Tzu a kilometer back! ”

Zhuo Shiliang in the communicator said aggrievedly: "Division commander, this time I let the infantry reconnoiter in front to ensure that I will not fall into the pit again!" Division commander, please, let's fight the main attack. ”

Fang Xianyang laughed and said: "The main attack is still your regiment, I asked you to retreat to give the enemy a big gift, you should retreat quickly, send me a message after the retreat." ”

Zhuo Shiliang agreed loudly, and at this time, the armored command vehicle had already come out of the pit, and Zhuo Shiliang gave an order, and the whole regiment immediately retreated.

The Sikhs on the opposite side saw the Chinese retreating and shouted excitedly: "The Chinese have retreated, we have won!" ”

In the midst of the cheers, the British commander Madson was extremely nervous, because he knew very well that a small trap would never stop the Chinese, and the Chinese retreated like this, there must be an ulterior secret behind it!

Zhuo Shiliang led his subordinates to retreat a kilometer, and behind him were several other regiments, Zhuo Shiliang joined forces with them, and then sent a message to Fang Xianyang, Fang Xianyang immediately picked up the phone when he received the news, and said in a deep voice: "Give me the self-propelled artillery regiment." ”

The phone was quickly connected, and Fang Xianyang said loudly: "Order your unit to launch a strike on the enemy army in accordance with the scheduled No. 6 battle plan!" ”
