When the Indian infantry of the British Empire began to bravely launch a reverse charge with their backs to the artillery fire, Saigo, the devil of the Aizu Domain, had already stopped the charge, not because he was afraid of death, but because he was blocked by a barbed wire.

It has to be said that these Indian infantry, who were charging backwards with their backs to the enemy, were still very skilled in digging trenches, repairing fortifications, pulling barbed wire, and laying mines. Moreover, the first emperor of India, William, was also willing to pay for the capital and gave a lot of good things to the British and Indian soldiers in Malaya, and Penang Island was a key point of defense of the Indian Empire in Malaya.

According to the plan, once the Indian Grand Fleet is defeated in the Strait of Malacca and the sea transportation between Masuek and Malacca City is locked, Penang Island will become the most important lifeline of the Anglo-Indian army in Malaya, so the British and Indian troops are still very concerned about the defense deployment of Penang Island. Everything you should have! In addition to the forward positions composed of trenches, barbed wire, minefields, and trenches, a fort was built on the Binglang Hill on the island, and 9.2-inch shore defense artillery was deployed. Although the forts on the island had already been bombed by carrier-based aircraft, the four battle patrols of the Ming Navy still did not dare to get too close, and only dared to fire their guns 10 kilometers away from the beachhead in the western part of Penang Island.

Because the shelling distance was too long, the accuracy of the shooting was not high, although the beachhead was plowed and most of the mines on the beachhead were detonated, but the damage effect on the three barbed wire fences blocking the front of the Anglo-Indian trench line was not ideal. So this Aizu Saigo had to loudly summon two devil infantry with big iron pincers, and wait for them to cut the barbed wire before continuing to charge.

And before the barbed wire was cut, Aizu Saigo and the officers and soldiers of the White Tiger Brigade under him were all live targets for the enemy army on the opposite side!

Although Saigo had already crouched down to reduce the chance of being hit, he was still nervous and his face was covered with beads of sweat - at least a third of the White Tigers men were going to become gods this time, right? But it's worth it, for the sake of the liberation of India and the "liberation commission", it is quite bearable to die a little bit!

Saigo Jinyong even had the consciousness of becoming a god at this time.

But to his surprise, the Anglo-Indian troops in the trenches on the opposite side did not fire at them!

They had just rushed to the beachhead, but before they were within range of the defenders' rifles and machine guns, bullets were raining down on the opposite side. But now that they can fight, why don't they fight?

Just as he was feeling strange, the barbed wire that stood in his way had been cut. A Japanese soldier of the White Tigers shouted at him: "My lord, the barbed wire fence has been cut!" ”

"Mixi!" Saigo Konyong immediately stood up, pointed the sword forward, and yelled: "Kill to ......"

Just as Saigo Jinyong gave the order to charge, at several other breaches in the barbed wire line, the other three squadrons of the White Tigers also resumed the attack, and seven or eight hundred devil soldiers rushed into the first trench garrisoned by the British and Indian troops like a whirlwind. As far as the eye can see, there is a perfectly constructed trench, with wooden stakes nailed into the walls on both sides to prevent collapse, and at intervals, specially excavated rifle firing emplacements, machine-gun firing points, and anti-artillery holes. At most of the machine gun firing points, there is a brand-new Vickers water-cooled heavy machine gun, and the copper-shelled bullets on the ammunition supply chain are shining, which makes people feel creepy to look at - if these machine guns are fired when the officers and soldiers of the White Tigers cut the barbed wire, then it is difficult to say whether any of the hundreds of officers and soldiers of the White Tigers who rushed up in this wave will return alive!

But how could such a complete and strong defensive line, which had not suffered much damage from the previous shelling of the Ming warships, be abandoned? Could it be a fraud?

Thinking of this, the devils of the White Tiger Team all climbed up the straight and steep trench wall, and then poked their heads out and looked forward, and saw hundreds of figures, fleeing in the direction of the low Binglang Mountain in the distance! Among them, the fastest ones are about to drill into Binglang Mountain!

And behind them, dozens of corpses were left horizontally and vertically, which should have been killed by the 155-mm guns fired by the Ming destroyers on the sea when they fled in a panic! In addition, it is a new British bass rifle that has been lost to the ground......

It turned out that the British and Indian soldiers guarding the position were all brave enough to flee when they saw the enemy, and most of them were brave enough to run fast!

The Japanese soldiers who were not tall enough, and who could not even show their hair in the trenches dug by the Indians, found that the Indians had already run, so they became more courageous, and climbed out of the trenches one by one, and also put up a well-trained battle formation, just waiting for the order of the old man of the Saigo family, and they were going to launch a pursuit!

Saigo Jinyong also climbed out, holding the sword in the air, and hesitated for a moment, as if judging whether there was an ambush on the low betel nut mountain in front of him? In the end, he pointed the sword forward and shouted: "The first squadron and the second squadron pursue the enemy and enter the mountains!"

The 3rd and 4th squadrons cleaned up the battlefield and consolidated their positions.

Signal man, flag the sea, I have landed, the landing ground is safe, the enemy is fleeing to the mountains! ”

On the Shuzhong Wang, the flagship of the First Voyage Battle, Zhuge Weidao was holding a telescope to watch the scene of Ssangyong planes hovering and dropping bombs over Binglang Mountain - Penang Island is an important stronghold of the British and Indian authorities in Malaya for many years, because its location is in the west of the Malay Peninsula and is not easy to be attacked by the Ming army, so the island's defense facilities are not as good as those of the Malay River, but there is still something. One of the most interesting is the Binglang Hill Fort! The construction of this fort began 100 years ago, and the construction of this fort has not been interrupted for 100 years, and not long ago the British brought in 9.2-inch coastal defense cannons from India and erected them on the batteries in Binglang Hill.

And as long as this fort is taken, the Penang Island landing battle will be considered a victory!

Penang Island is close to the Malay Peninsula, and is only a little over 2 kilometers away from the nearest point of the Malay Peninsula. The Malay Peninsula near Penang Island is not very well defended, so once you seize Penang Island, it is equivalent to landing on the land of the Malay Peninsula......

"Junmen, the commander of the Aizu Division has called, the first wave of landing has been successful, the landing field is already under the control of the White Tigers, and the White Tigers have sent two squadrons to pursue and advance towards Binglang Mountain! The commander of the Aizu Division has sent two teams of Qinglong and Xuanwu to follow up on the land, and asked our side to bombard the Binglang Mountain Fort with 300 mm cannons to support the tentative attack of the White Tigers! ”

"What? This is about to attack the Binglang Hill Fort? Too fast, right? ”

Before Zhuge Weidao could speak, Ma Xuchen on the side had already exclaimed.

"There's no going to be a fraud, is it?" Guo Xiaobao also thinks it's wrong!

"Let's fight!" Zhuge Weidao said, "Give Chen Zongzhen an order, 4 Zhongwang-level 32 main guns each fire half a base of high-explosive shells, and target Binglang Mountain Fort!" Wang Wen, send 2 more squadrons of Ssangyong planes to bomb the ferry port east of Penang Island! ”

"Bombing the ferry?" Wang Wen was stunned, "Junmen, according to intelligence, the main forces of the British and Indian troops in the Penang area are on Penang Island, so there will be no British and Indian reinforcements from the Malay Peninsula to Penang Island in a short period of time." ”

"I know!" Zhuge nodded for Dao, "But the Indian soldiers on Penang Island will escape...... They've probably already started to flee! ”

"Already on the run? That's too weak, isn't it? Wang Wen will be skeptical.

"Hurry up and send a plane to bomb it!" Zhuge Weidao smiled, "It's too late!" ”

"Yes, Junmen!"

Zhuge Weidao is a little light on the enemy this time, although the British and Indian soldiers stationed on Penang Island are weak, but they are not so weak that they can only flee when they see the wind, they can be regarded as the brave Indian soldiers who fled when they saw the "ghost".

So when the Ming Dynasty's Ssangyong planes went to bomb the ferry, these Indian soldiers were still firing indiscriminately with their new bass rifles on the Binglang Hill Fort!

But that's all they could do, when they found that their only retreat was being bombed, and that a large number of "devil soldiers" had already landed and would soon come to reinforce the vanguard of the "devil soldiers", the defenders of a brigade decisively collapsed. Most of them bravely raised their arms ......
