Chapter 178: Ambush
General Remus was in a good mood after training Nice, humming a little song from his hometown. Behind them, the British army and Indian soldiers marched at fairly neat steps, but the black African army behind the ranks dragged and weakly advanced.
Li Yunlong saw this situation, but he didn't reorganize the team, because General Remus told him that these chimpanzees in front of him were just cannon fodder of the British Empire, and even the status of Indian Ah San was inferior. In the end, Li Yunlong shook his head after seeing it, out of sight, out of mind, and returned to his team.
However, at this time, the command of the African People's Army was busy, and a soldier came to the headquarters and saluted Li Yunlong and said: "Comrade division commander, we learned of a situation during the interrogation of the prisoners, the defenders of Kandulu sent a telegram for help to the British troops in Magadini City before the city was breached, and the commander of the local defenders, Major General Remus, had already led about two and a half divisions to the rescue. At this point, I'm afraid I'm already halfway through the march. ”
As soon as Li Yunlong heard the soldier's words, he hurriedly stood up, bent down and began to browse the map with a magnifying glass, and finally hammered it on the table and said: "Hehe, there is a way in heaven for you not to go, and there is no door to hell for you to break into." With Lao Tzu, since you are here, don't plan to go back, so many people Lao Tzu doesn't eat you, how can you be worthy of yourself. ”
This is an officer cautiously reminded: "The division commander is two and a half divisions, close to 40,000 people. There are only about 15,800 of us, and some of us have just passed through a big war. Isn't it a bit hasty to meet each other? ”
Li Yunlong waved his hand and said: "It's okay, I never fight uncertain battles, first of all, we are a modern mechanical infantry division, and although the other party has more than 40,000 people, but among these 40,000 people, African blacks and Indian Ah San account for a large proportion. There are very few real Britons. We've just had a fight. But most of the troops did not go into the war. The other party has been running for a long distance, and it belongs to the labor division. We also have a Zhuang armored tank regiment as a killer feature. This battle will be won. Leave one battalion to garrison the city, and the rest of the men will be dispatched with my whole army, and the whole army will be notified to go out. ”
Under Li Yunlong's order, the entire First Division of the African People's Army acted nervously. Tang Zuo, who was far away at the base, noticed the movements of Li Yunlong's 1st Division through the big screen, and hurriedly sent a telegram to ask, and learned through the radio that the British 40,000 reinforcements were rushing towards Kandulu. Li Yunlong planned to ambush the other party.
When Tang Zuo learned the news, he was afraid that Li Yunlong would not be able to hold on, so he ordered all the armed mining trucks in his hands to be sent to Kandulu to rush the metal ore.
Soon, the First Division marched in a hurry, and attacked more than 50 kilometers in one go, and soon found a place where the ambush battle was good, and Li Yunlong commanded the troops to quickly build an ambush position.
Not long after Li Yunlong commanded everyone to build an ambush position, a scout came to Li Yunlong and said, "Division commander, that group of British troops is less than five kilometers away from us.
When Li Yunlong heard this, he hurriedly said to several regiment commanders around him: "Everyone hurry up and return to their positions to prepare, and Lao Tzu's pistol is not allowed to shoot if he does not shoot, whoever dares to shoot will be fined half a month's military expenses, and the tank regiment is ready to charge at any time." ”
Soon the whole team of British people appeared in everyone's field of vision, Li Yunlong held a pistol in his hand and stared at them intently, at this moment Li Yunlong said: "Order the artillery to bombard Lao Tzu fiercely." Don't stop without Lao Tzu's order. ”
After receiving the order, the artillery regiment, under the command of the regimental commander, sent one shell after another into the barrel, pulled the bolt, and one shell after another whistled into the crowd of British troops. "Boom", "boom", "boom", the other party who was blown up for a time turned on his back.
At this time, the British knew that they had encountered an enemy ambush and hurriedly looked for cover, but the quality of the Indian soldiers and the servant soldiers was a little flattering, and they ran back and forth on the road. Then it was shattered by a cannonball, and the air wave generated by the cannonball flew into the sky and fell to the ground and died. There were also a large number of soldiers who were wounded and lying on the ground wailing, and then trampled to death by the chaotic soldiers.
At this moment, Li Yunlong's pistol was shot at the enemy, "Bah", and when the soldiers saw him, the division commander fired and pulled the trigger of the gun in his hand one after another, and the bullets flew towards the enemy with a roar.
Just one minute into the battle, the 1st Division concentrated hundreds of light and heavy machine guns of the whole division and fired fiercely at the British troops, and at this moment the British paid the price of more than 5,000 casualties. The explosion of shells and the strafing of bullets were a series of reminders that kept harvesting the corpses of those British soldiers.
Although the British paid the price of nearly 10,000 casualties in an instant, the rest of the people, whether they were British, Indians, and black African servants, also learned from the British to find cover and shoot back at the ambushers. The battle entered a stalemate for a while.
Although the British were hit hard at the beginning and suffered heavy casualties. It was their chain of command that suffered greatly. However, the subsequent British army still restored the command system in the shortest possible time, and some low-ranking soldiers began to fight back against the African People's Army in an orderly manner under the command of high-ranking soldiers.
Even so, the casualties of the British army continued to increase, and the intensity of the counterattack from several sides continued to weaken. Despite this, however, the casualty figures of the 1st Division of the African People's Army (AFA) continue to mount.
At this time, a regimental commander came to Nibron with a face of gunpowder dust and said, "Division commander, the combat effectiveness of those turtle grandsons below is not weak. So far, there is no sign of collapse, and our regiment has suffered more than 200 casualties. ”
At this time, Li Yunlong said: "It's time for the armored regiment to dispatch." The Chief of Staff gave me an order to dispatch the tank and armored regiments. Also, after the armored regiment was dispatched, the various regiments also launched an attack on me. these dogs for me. ”
After receiving the order, the commander of the armored regiment ordered all the commanders and fighters of the regiment to board the tank, and after receiving the order, the soldiers of the tank regiment found their own tanks and climbed into the tank. Start the pilot, start the tank.
At this moment, the commanders in the ambush position said: "Comrades, give me a hard beating. The brothers of the tank regiment have come to our aid. Strive to eliminate these British colonial forces in the shortest possible time. ”
Because these commanders and fighters had already seen a scene of yellow sand and a large number of tanks emerging not far away, they knew that the killer tank regiment of the 1st Division had been thrown into battle.
Like tigers descending from the mountains, tanks soon rushed into the British army, and nearly 100 tank guns bombarded the British army, and the bunkers temporarily built by the British were destroyed one by one. Tank machine guns also began to strafe at a countryman.
At this moment, the AFP infantry from all over the country also attacked. Rifles lit up and the Mitsubishi army stabbed down.
At this time, the British were dumbfounded, they never thought that these rebels would have tanks of such a scale, especially Remus was even more surprised that he could put an egg in his mouth, and then cursed: "Who gave these black tanks." This is challenging the bottom line of 100 people.
