Zhitra.

Seven or eight kilometers from the city in the mountains.

A battalion-sized APA fighter makes final preparations.

"Brethren. Today will be our first counterattack for independence. I, Feng Baojun, as your commander, am here to assure my brethren that I will be the first to rush at the enemy who has invaded our homeland, to fire the first shot, and at the same time to be the last to withdraw from the battle! If I Feng Baojun can't do this, any brother has the right to shoot me first and then kill the enemy!"

Feng Baojun, the battalion commander of the assault battalion of the 67th Garrison Regiment, said to the officers and soldiers of the battalion.

"If there are still brothers who are afraid of this counterattack, as long as they stand up now, take off their military uniforms, hand over their guns, and leave quietly, I, Feng Baojun, promise not to stop them. Now I'm going to give you 10 seconds to think about it, and if someone comes forward before I count to ten, I won't ask anything of him.

」

「1！」

「2！」

「3！」

After Feng Baojun finished speaking, he did not hesitate to start counting, and nearly 1,000 officers and soldiers in the battalion heard Feng Baojun's counting, and one by one stood silently in place, and no one moved.

Wang Shugen, who was wearing the same military uniform as Feng Baojun next to him, stared at these officers and soldiers and did not speak.

As the most junior adviser in the army, Wang Shugen generally did not interfere with Feng Baojun's management, he would only issue his own suggestions when training and making battle plans.

At this moment, he looked at this strange army, and he actually didn't have much confidence in his heart.

Although there were only more than 300 people at a military station on the outskirts of Daiying that they were going to attack today, it was a bit of a knife to use this assault battalion, which was equipped with Type 43 assault rifles.

But in order to fire the first shot of the counterattack, they let the assault battalion set off as a whole, not to mention, and also prepared a 107 rocket artillery to fire the first shot at the long-range aiming station!

It was only after the artillery fire had gone off that the well-equipped assault battalion came up.

They also had six 40 rocket launchers in their hands as forward support firepower for the attack, as well as three Gaoping dual-purpose heavy machine guns.

If it was Wang Shugen's own old troops, he would be able to eat the opponent with only one company of this kind of equipment, and he would not need to prepare any 107 rocket artillery firepower.

However, before he came, the brigade commander had gathered all the advisers for intensive training, and the first thing he said was that he should never underestimate the enemy, don't look at them being beaten badly by the little devils, but some things are for a reason, and their performance in the Southeast Asian battlefield cannot be used as an operational assumption, which may cause heavy losses.

The second content is not to overestimate the combat effectiveness of the troops you participated in commanding, still less to look at them in terms of the combat effectiveness and fighting will of the old main forces.

There were also some other precautions, and the brigade commander trained them for three days.

Wang Shugen didn't take anything else to heart, but the two articles of the brigade commander were written down in his notebook, and they were also engraved in his heart.

...

In Wang Shugen's distraction, Feng Baojun counted to 10, and no one left!

「10！ It is very well that no brother has forsaken us, and we will win this battle today." Feng Baojun said with satisfaction.

"Victory!"

"Victory!"

The originally somewhat suppressed troops burst into angry roars together.

Some people are actually scared in their hearts.

But no one stepped forward and let them go on their own, and they couldn't do it.

Their assault battalion was originally the top of the whole regiment, the elite of the best!

The weapons in his hands were also the best in the regiment, and it was said to be one of the most advanced individual weapons in the world, far surpassing the Enfield rifles in the hands of British soldiers.

They have been trained, and it is true that they are no less powerful than light machine guns in terms of firepower, and even because of this, the assault battalion has removed light machine guns and added a platoon of heavy machine guns with Gao Ping.

If not to be afraid of

With a strong navy and air force, everyone is actually a little eager to take the British Army soldiers and want to fight high and low.

After all, this group of troops they faced with the British was still mainly colonial. The real local main force with the British is less than 3 divisions.

Feng Baojun completed the final mental preparation before the battle in his own way.

Then just wait for it to get dark.

They were to take advantage of the darkness of night and set out to fight.

...

At half past eight o'clock in the evening, at the British barracks on the outskirts of Jitra, Captain Sharma meticulously inspected the sentry post, and then went back satisfied, and sounded the rest horn on time at 9:00.

The whole team immediately turned off the lights and went to bed.

At this moment, there was a screaming sound of "Xiu Xiu Xiu" from the sky, and before anyone could react, a group of small black dots spewing flames fell from the sky and smashed into the camp with a bang!

The huge shock wave and debris destroyed the walls and sentry posts of the camp in an instant, and the civil barracks were also directly hit several rooms, blowing up the soldiers who had not yet fallen asleep to receive lunch boxes on the spot.

Captain Sharma was lucky that his barracks narrowly escaped the bombardment.

"Enemy attack! Get ready to fight!" Sharma scrambled to her pistol and ran out of the barracks shouting at the remnants of the troops.

However, the barracks were like a frying pan, full of headless flies, and they would no longer obey his commands.

At this time, an unfamiliar heavy machine gun sound sounded, and many of the soldiers scurrying in the camp were hit and torn apart on the spot.

This is a heavy machine gun!

Sharma's heart trembled, and he realized that he had been attacked by an organized enemy tonight.

Instead of doing useless work, he returned to the communications room of the camp and began to call the brigade headquarters to report the situation here.

Feng Baojun's assault battalion, which was lurking in place outside the camp, was divided into several assault queues at this moment and began to launch the final charge!

They didn't shout, one by one they gasped and followed Feng Baojun who rushed to the front!

Feng Baojun, who took the lead, really did not break his promise, he used his own actions to fulfill his promise before the war, looking at the military camp in front of him had caught fire, the wall outside the barracks had also collapsed, and there were countless black fields running around.

Wang Shugen, who followed Feng Baojun to charge, observed the surrounding situation a little and knew that the bombardment of the 107 rocket artillery had a miraculous effect, and the enemy's barracks had already blown up!

Today's battle is secure!

At a distance of more than 500 meters, it takes about 5 minutes for normal people to walk, and it takes about 1 minute and 30 seconds for ordinary people to run on the track, and it takes more than 2 minutes for Feng Bao's military camp to charge between the grass and bushes at night.

By the time they rushed to the Sharma barracks, Captain Sharma had already finished making a phone call, and a team of more than 40 people had been organized to form the first line of blocking fire.

Two machine guns and more than 30 Enfield spewed tongues of fire from time to time in the night sky, and began to cause casualties to the Feng Bao barracks charging team.

"Bazooka! The bazooka knocks out the machine-gun fire!" Seeing that the enemy had some reactions, Wang Shugen shouted loudly.

If he is in the old unit, he does not need to be a commander at all, and the bazooka hand who follows the troops forward to charge will automatically aim at the enemy's machine gun fire to strike!

However, in the Feng Baojun assault battalion, which relied on a bloody charge, several bazooka players who were facing the battle formation for the first time were also nervous, and they only charged with their heads down.

"Fang Jiacheng! Fang Jiacheng hurriedly stopped, and immediately found some time to give the opponent's machine gun to the labor and management!" A company commander in the unit only woke up from a dream when he heard Wang Shugen's shouting, and scolded and intercepted a bazooka hand nearby.

At this moment, almost all the tactical movements of pre-war training are a little chaotic.

Fang Jiacheng, as a bazooka player, his task was supposed to follow the troops, and once he found the enemy's heavy firepower, he would stop and look for the firefighting point, but Feng Baojun took the lead in shouting and charging, and everyone rushed with him.

Fortunately, the front was okay, the enemy did not counterattack, everyone had the courage to rush for a while, and the mentality was a little relaxed, but when the enemy counterattacked together, and one or two comrades were knocked down by the bullets flying around, many soldiers who were killed and injured for the first time panicked, and rushed forward desperately like frightened rabbits!

Now it's pitch black, the enemy on the opposite side can't see clearly, everyone doesn't know how to counterattack, only the scorching rain of heavy machine gun platoons, still spitting, suppressing the intensity of Sharma's counterattack, dense fire suppression, people can't easily look up, Sharma's soldiers are also panicked like little hens in the nest.

Although Sharma, the commander, and the commander were still in the ranks, they fired indiscriminately in the direction of the enemy's heavy machine guns, but there was no aiming at all.

That is, to be courageous for yourself and your fellow travelers.

This was the first large-scale night offensive and defensive battle between the two sides since the start of the war, and the performance of both sides was weak. Since the beginning of the war, although the British side has encountered many attacks, most of them have been guerrilla artillery fire that shoots from a distance and runs away, and there has been no face-to-face confrontation with hundreds of people.

This night attack was the first large-scale infantry battle between the two sides in the true sense of the word.

On one side is the Indiana division with a spanning combat effectiveness, and on the other side is a rookie who is new to the real battlefield. The performance made Wang Shugen, who had been in a hundred battles on the field, feel a little spicy, but he also had to pinch his nose to check and fill in the gaps as much as possible, and guide the troops to carry out certain tactical development.

Bazooka player Fang Jiacheng hurriedly found a fulcrum, and the bazooka squad he was carrying also stopped and lay on the ground, and began to provide Fang Jiacheng with rocket artillery shells.

Fang Jiacheng aimed at the conspicuous target in the night sky that was spewing tongues of fire, gritted his teeth and pulled the trigger, and the rocket that spewed bright flames rushed towards the target, but it deflected from the left front of the opponent's machine gun, hit the barracks behind, and lit up the wooden structure to illuminate the piece.

Sharma: They're fighting back with a bunker made of sandbags!

The longer-range, high-level dual-purpose machine gunner, seeing the enemy more clearly, began to fire machine gun fire at the bunker, although the machine gun could not be aimed accurately due to the huge recoil.

But around that strafing fire, some of the dense heavy machines even penetrated the sandbags and knocked out several of the British and Indian soldiers hiding behind!

Immediately, it caused a commotion behind the bunker, and the counterattack fire suddenly weakened a lot, and Sharma roared wildly for a while with red eyes before recovering again.

And at this time, Fang Jiacheng, who calmed down his mood, the second rocket had been stimulated again!

This time he didn't miss again, only a distance of more than 300 meters, plus now the other party can see more clearly under the burning flames, Fang Jiacheng is bombarding the bunker in front of the machine gun fire point, and after the rocket bursts in the firelight, the fragments will fly wildly, taking the machine gunner and the nearby Indian soldiers away!

Fang Jiacheng took a big breath, wiped the sweat on his forehead with his hand, and finally relaxed his mentality a little, only then did he remember that after his bazooka squad rushed up, he didn't directly pounce on the position to fight with the other party!

Instead, stop at the right place to find a point, ready to pull out the enemy's counterattack fire at any moment!

The enemy still had a machine gun that kept counterattacking, Fang Jiacheng didn't have time to regret it, he took another rocket from the hand of his companion behind him, and he started a new round of aiming and excitation!

This time, Fang Jiacheng seemed to have found the secret of successful aiming, and with one shot, he knocked Sharma's hard-organized machine gun to the ground.

The counterattack fire suddenly lost most of its power, and Feng Baojun, who took the lead in the charge, saw this situation and shouted loudly with all his might, "Brothers! Victory is at hand, rush!"

There are dozens of meters ahead, and it can already be clear that the heads of the Indian soldiers are shaking under the firelight, Feng Baojun finished shouting, and picked up the Type 43 assault rifle and shot at the shaking head!

There was a burst of gunshots, and the head of an Indian soldier was hit by Feng Baojun's shuttle bullet, and he didn't have time to snort before he squirted red and white things and fell to the ground, and the steel helmet on his head couldn't block this critical attack at close range.

The heavy machine guns in the distance stopped firing, and now the enemy and us will soon be intertwined, and it is impossible to maintain the firepower

It's your own people who are hurt.

As Feng Baojun fired, the soldiers who followed him also began to aim ahead and fire!

The strafing of a dozen people formed a tight net of firepower, so that Sharma and the others could not raise their heads to fight back.

But the battle was still not over, and Sharma and the others quickly pulled out their grenades, and one by one they lay on the ground and threw them backwards with their heads on their backs.

Watching a group of smoking things fly out of the sandbags, Wang Shugen's heart jumped.

"Lie down! Lie down! There's a grenade!" Wang Shugen's shrill voice alarmed these soldiers who were charging in front, and Feng Baojun also subconsciously pounced forward after listening to the voice.

After a burst of explosions, fragments of the grenade splattered out in all directions.

Wang Shugen's command was at the right time, most of the soldiers in front of them were lying on the ground, and only two or three of them who reacted slowly were hit by the fragments, and they were lying on the ground rolling in pain.

These soldiers were cut on their arms, thighs, or bodies, and the blood began to flow out like money!

"Grenade! Grenade attack!" Feng Baojun also woke up from a dream and began to command the team, taking out their grenades one by one, knocking them on the butts of their guns and throwing them behind Sharma's sandbags.

After a burst of explosions, a wave of more than a dozen grenades blew up the remnants of the Indian soldiers inside.

Apparently killed and wounded quite a few enemies.

At close range, grenades are still indispensable for both offense and defense.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Feng Baojun jumped up, "Rush!"

"Rush!"

The soldiers of Feng Baojun's assault battalion were also beaten out of anger, and when it came to this point, everyone didn't have many superfluous ideas, just rushed over to kill the enemy in a hurry, and then finished the matter.

At this moment, Feng Baojun no longer needed to boost his morale, and began to really enter the combat state.

Sharma's more than 40 people were swept away by Feng Baojun in one fell swoop, and even Sharma was shot and killed indiscriminately, but they did not die in vain, in just a few minutes, the remaining more than 100 Indian soldiers finally found their weapons and began to rely on various terrain to launch counterattacks.

Although it is said that the firepower of Feng Baojun's assault battalion that rushed into the camp is not at the same level, and the entire counterattack is useless, it still causes casualties to Feng Baojun's assault.

Wait until the battle is over after half an hour, simply clean up the battlefield and retreat to the jungle. The British reinforcements arrived belatedly, leaving behind corpses all over the ground and a camp still burning.

After Feng Baojun, who returned to the temporary camp, briefly counted the number of people, he found that in this battle, there were more than 100 casualties on his side! Among them, more than 40 people were directly killed and more than 60 were injured.

Although the Sharma camp was completely annihilated, more than 300 people were killed and captured, and the first major victory since the beginning of the war began, it also paid a huge price.

The commando battalion rejoiced after a brief period of grief at this achievement, and they had overcome the great psychological obstacles of victory over the enemy, whom they had thought would be difficult to defeat before the battle, and at the same time began to realize their own strength.

This battle was a great encouragement for Huang Qingyuan and his troops, and Feng Baojun, who won the first battle, was notified that he was rated as a combat hero and received the "Courage" medal, one of the three combat hero medals that had just been formulated by the new homeland.

This is also the first person to receive the medal of the New Home Independent People's Army, for the Independent People's Army, Feng Baojun has set an example for them on how to achieve victory, and the tactics provided by the advisers have been verified to be indeed operable.

However, for the first time to cooperate with the Independent People's Army at close range, their performance made Wang Shugen can't help but shake his head, and also gave him the first intuitive understanding of the real combat effectiveness of the garrison regiment.

Wang Shugen described and summarized the battle in detail and summarized the battle briefing, on the one hand, the garrison regiment that was fighting in Feng Baojun's assault battalion and near him was exchanged and improved, and on the other hand, it was fed back to the headquarters of the advisory group.

This first-hand information is invaluable to the Advisory Panel.
