Chapter 842: Best Opponent!
On the road to Ringanqiang, a large number of British infantry were on foot, and most of their trucks were filled with old and weak women and children except for ammunition, which is why they threw away a large number of weapons and ammunition in Magway.
By the time the truck peeked out of the trail, it was already dark and the car was driving very slowly because there were no lights.
"Slow down."
It was Wang Ning who was on the front car, looking at the black truth, he panicked for no reason; Without much thought, he attributed it to the reason for not being familiar with the place.
"Look, sir!"
The driver pointed to the front of the road, and there was a sporadic fire in the woods.
"Stop!"
"Flameout!"
"Flashlight!"
Wang Ning frowned, asked the driver to stop, and with the help of the driver's flashlight, he looked at the map.
"It's close, it should be almost there."
Wang Ning muttered, opened the car door, and jumped off.
"What's wrong?"
Feng Ye poked his head out of the car window and asked Wang Ning, who was approaching.
"Commander, there's a fire in the forest ahead."
Wang Ning reported the situation.
"Let all the brethren get out of the car and turn off all the vehicles."
Feng Ye also looked at the map, it was already very close, he didn't know if the sound of the engine had revealed his location.
"Get everyone out of the car and be on alert."
Feng Ye opened the safety of the rifle, knelt on the side of the road, staring at the bushes next to him, the sound of insects chirping from time to time in the black bushes, his heart was inexplicably nervous, and he felt very uneasy.
"Fellow, the car is here, you can't drive any further, all of you stay together, and I will leave two shifts to protect you."
"Wang Ning, the brothers of the third battalion, the first company and the second company stayed."
"The rest of the people, in squads, search and advance."
After Feng Ye gave a low command, he bent down and looked forward......
"Yes, you have done a meritorious service, and our volunteer team is in need of a lot of ammunition."
In the woods, among a dozen torches, the Burmese Independence Volunteers had arrived, and behind them were Burmese people with backpacks, who were rushing into the cave to carry out the ammunition.
"Let them be careful, move out first, and when it is dawn, the convoy supported by the Yellow Army of Great Japan will arrive, and when the time comes, we will move the ammunition to the car, and we can pull it back."
The captain of the waking detachment admonished.
"Captain, what about these things?"
The team leader pointed to a few cannons in the cave and asked, this thing is a dead, narrow cave, and a few of them can't get it at all, but there are too many people to get through the hole, and they don't know how the British got this thing.
"The Japanese naturally have a way, let them move what they can first."
The captain of the detachment shook his head, he didn't know that in front of him was the 18-pounder field gun that the British shone on the battlefield of World War I, which was the first artillery in the world with an effective anti-recoil device, but now, this kind of artillery can no longer keep up with the needs of the times, and the heavy sound of the cannon is not convenient for the British to retreat, so it is still here.
Of course, these Burmese did not know that this kind of field artillery could be disassembled, and the British put it in after dismantling, and they thought that they would fight it back, and then there would be arsenals along the way, and they could use it when they took it out.
"Commander, someone found out the location of the arsenal."
As he got closer and closer to the arsenal, Feng asked the squads to move forward until they saw the flames.
"How many people? Is it a devil? ”
Feng Yi frowned and asked, if it was a devil, they would only have to return the same way, and this trip would be in vain.
"Dressed in the clothes of the Burmese locals, with the same weapons in their hands as us, they should be independent volunteers; There were many people, but there were only a hundred people with weapons, and the rest should be the locals they had found, who were carrying arms from the cave, no less than 300 people. ”
The squad leader who led the team reported in a low voice.
The Independent Volunteer Army is the guerrillas in Burma, Feng Yi is thinking, if the fight starts, the more than 100 people he brings will definitely be able to win, the key is whether there are devils nearby, he doesn't know.
"Commander, let's fight! So many arms, to these Burmese, blind. ”
The squad leader was eager to try.
"Let all the squad leaders come over."
Feng Ye whispered, and in the midst of the shrubs, ten squad leaders gathered around Feng Ng.
"Brethren, we are facing the Independent Volunteers, these people are the guerrillas of Burma, but we have never fought against them, their combat effectiveness is not clear, and their numbers are about the same as ours; And the important thing is that we don't know if there are devils nearby; If we start fighting, once the devils come to the rescue, we may all be here, and we have no friendly forces nearby; If we don't fight, our trip will be in vain. ”
Feng Ye whispered about the situation, hoping to explain what they were facing to the brothers.
"Commander, I just saw the mortar, which is placed outside the cave; It's a shame to let things go to the mouth like this. ”
"Commander, let's fight! These people can't do it, how can we fight the devils? ”
……
Several squad leaders were talking in a mess, and Feng Yi was also thinking, fighting the Burmese in the first battle was the best opponent for them, and the combat effectiveness of these people could not be stronger than the devils, otherwise they would not be suppressed by the fleeing British army and did not dare to raise their heads.
"Then fight!"
"You four squads are touching forward from this side, and you can't shoot until you have to, and wait for the gunshots on the other side of the road."
"All of you follow me, cross the avenue, you three squads, attack from this side; The rest of the brethren followed me and locked up the highway. ”
"Those who are outflanked on both sides of you must remember that you can't rush in one go, the first to shoot can only be a squad, to lure them to charge; When they are almost dead and don't rush, we will attack again, the old rule, attack slowly, there is an arsenal inside, to prevent them from blowing up the arsenal. ”
Feng Yi gestured on the ground, he decided to make a three-way copy, not because he didn't want to be surrounded on all sides, first, the troops in his hands were limited, and second, the back of the cave was full of forests, and the road conditions were unfamiliar, unlike these three sides, the shrubs were only half a person high, which just provided them with natural shelter.
"Let's go!"
Feng Yi waved his hand and quickly crossed the avenue in the dark, touching forward from the other side of the avenue.
The Burmese Independent Volunteers were attached to the Japanese, and the Japanese did not learn the good ways to oppress their own compatriots, but they learned a lot, they carried torches and rifles on their backs, and supervised the movement of arms from the caves to their compatriots.
The cave was not far from the avenue, and now there were a lot of wooden boxes piled up on the avenue, and Feng Ye led people to slowly approach the avenue from the other side, until he appeared at the edge of the firelight, gesturing, and letting the brothers hide in place.
"Whew!"
The muzzle of the black hole was pointed towards the bushes where the flames gathered, and Feng waited for the other brothers to outflank him.
