How could the Japanese army's excavation of a large number of anti-tank trenches and the laying of a large number of mines in the forward positions be concealed from the reconnaissance planes of the Burmese army? The Burmese army has long made arrangements. The tank group had not yet entered the minefield, and the rear running group roared angrily and carried out a large-scale bombardment of the minefield, in which not only shells exploded, but also a large number of mines were detonated, and the ground trembled more than once because of the large number of explosions. After playing, the Japanese front-line commander saw through his telescope that the minefield was detonated by the Burmese army artillery in the command post, and he knew that the minefield was over, and now the tanks and infantry of the Burmese army can charge forward without hindrance.

"Call Air Force Support, Call Air Force Support!" The Japanese commander shouted. "Sir, the command said that there is no air support, and last night the Burmese Air Force blew up all our airports and planes in Kuantan and Singapore, and we have lost air supremacy!" The staff officer reminded. The Japanese commander said angrily: "Yaga, cunning Shina people! Order the soldiers to fight to the death, be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, and never retreat even to the last man! The defenders of the forward positions were ordered to prepare a large number of gasoline bottles and cluster grenades, and as soon as the tanks of the Chinese people fell into the anti-tank trenches, death squads were organized to destroy the tanks with gasoline incendiary bombs and cluster grenades".

The so-called cluster grenade is to bundle several grenades together, and the power of the explosion will increase many times, and the Japanese army can only use this method to deal with the tank charge of the Burmese State for the time being. "Hey!" The staff officer answered with a loud voice. The Burmese army had long since detected the forward positions of the Japanese army, and the tank cluster certainly did not rush into the anti-tank trenches in a daze, and the front row of tanks rushed to the vicinity of the anti-tank trenches and stopped, and the machine gunners on the tanks quickly pulled the trigger and began to suppress the Japanese fire, and the tank guns also began to fire to destroy the Japanese pillboxes and heavy machine guns.

After the tank cluster stopped, the engineer units, hiding behind, quickly rushed forward and ran into the anti-tank trenches, digging an inclined passage with a sapper shovel for the tanks to pass through. At this time, the Burmese artillery fire began to extend, countless shells fell on the Japanese position, and the Japanese troops who had just gotten up to shoot at the Burmese army engineer unit were suddenly subjected to large-scale shelling, and the Japanese position fell into a big explosion again, and countless Japanese soldiers were killed in the shelling.

In the past, the Japanese army faced the British army and the national army to launch an attack with excellent equipment and air superiority, and the national army and the British army could not resist at all, so they could only flee in embarrassment, but now it is their turn to lose air superiority, and there is no artillery support, and the heavy weapons were the first to be destroyed by the Burmese army, and the Japanese army is completely tragic! Where is the single-shot Type 38 rifle an opponent for the 95 assault rifle? The anti-tank trenches sniped the first line of defense of the Japanese army at a distance of only twenty or thirty meters, and at this distance, the powerful fire output of the automatic guns completely suppressed the Japanese single-shot Type 38 rifles.

The Burmese infantry hiding behind the tanks came out from time to time to fire frantically and strafed, and the Japanese army complained bitterly, and the mortars and grenadiers in the rear of the Burmese army fired wave after wave of shells at the first line of Japanese trenches, and the shells exploded in the Japanese trenches, and the Japanese troops immediately suffered heavy casualties. When the anti-tank trenches were finally pierced, the Burmese tanks quickly rushed down the trenches and then over the slope, with the soldiers behind closely following the tanks, providing infantry cover for the tanks while firing at the soldiers on the Japanese positions.

"Death squads, rush up and blow up the tanks of the China!" The Japanese squadron leader on the position shouted. Dozens of Japanese soldiers, shirtless and with a white filial piety cloth tied around their heads, carried bundles of grenades and rushed towards the Burmese army tanks. "Dadada....." The Burmese soldiers behind the tank dodged out and opened fire, and the Japanese soldiers who charged fell on the road one after another, some pulled the grenade lead, but they didn't have time to throw the grenade out, and some were shot and killed by the Burmese soldiers behind the tank before they could pull the lead, and the latter was killed by the machine gun fire on the tank.

No matter how closely the Burmese army cooperated, two tanks were still thrown by the Japanese soldiers, and the gasoline bombs made of wine bottles burst into flames after hitting the tanks, and the two tanks immediately burst into flames, and the soldiers in the tanks could only run out in a hurry, and then the two tanks exploded. This is just a small episode, it has nothing to do with the overall situation, the tank cluster has rushed to the Japanese position, the Japanese army resisted desperately, but it is still inevitable that all will be annihilated, the Burmese soldiers have long been informed, the Japanese massacre in Singapore has angered them, they have long been on fire, and the Japanese soldiers are not allowed to surrender at all, and all the Japanese soldiers who are ready to surrender will be killed.

An hour later, a position of the Japanese army on the eastern front battlefield was broken through by the Burmese army, the defenders were annihilated, and the Burmese army annihilated a wing of the Japanese army at a small price, and then the attacking troops began to take the tank cluster as the central axis, dividing and encircling the Japanese positions on both sides, and the front of the Burmese army marched rapidly to the border city of Brazil Maz in northeast Malaya.

Although the Allied air force carried out large-scale bombardment of the Japanese position, coupled with artillery shelling, the defenders on the Japanese position also suffered heavy casualties, but the British army lacked offensive weapons, and the Japanese army held the position, and the British army could only launch an infantry charge. In the forward joint command, An Zhen, commander of the 1st Regiment of the 8th Division of the Burmese Army, Resarridge, commander of the British Division, and Sean, commander of the Indian Division, were each observing the offensive with binoculars.

An Zhen was the commander of the 1st Regiment of the 8th Division who ordered the troops to storm the British barracks and disarm all British weapons. The attacking force opposite the headquarters was a company of the British army, and the British soldiers were still more military than the Indian division, at least these British soldiers knew to bend over and trot when attacking.

The troops rushed to a hundred meters in front of the Japanese position and did not see any movement on the Japanese position, and the British soldiers suddenly became bolder, thinking that the Japanese troops on the opposite position had already died in the bombing and artillery bombardment, which was just their delusion, and then the performance of the Japanese army made the British battalion suffer. When the British company rushed to a distance of 70 meters from the Japanese position, the Japanese position suddenly remembered the fierce gunfire, and the crooked handles, Type 92 heavy machine guns, grenadiers, etc., opened fire together, and the British soldiers who rushed to the front were immediately attacked fiercely, and one by one the British soldiers fell on the way to the charge and could not get up again.

After more than 20 people died, the British soldiers immediately turned around and ran, only hating their parents for giving them two legs, how fast did they run with four legs? The first attack of the British army was repulsed in this way, and the An Zhenjun in the command headquarters did not say anything, but just vigorously observed the situation on the Japanese position, and the first attack was only a tentative attack, and it did not explain how effective the British army was.

Fifteen minutes later, the British again organized a company to attack, first shelling the Japanese positions with artillery for five minutes, and then launching an infantry attack. "Toot-" A loud whistle sounded, which was the signal for the infantry to attack, and all the officers and soldiers standing in the trench who participated in the attack heard this signal and jumped out of the trench and rushed to the opposite side. The attack was much more formal, with machine guns on both flanks of the position and mortars in the rear ready to provide fire support at any time.

Many British soldiers were sweating profusely, and some British troops were gathered together, but this time the Japanese army was more patient, and when the British company rushed to 50 meters, there was no movement on the Japanese position. In fact, it is very dangerous to reach a distance, a short distance of fifty meters, it only takes a few seconds to rush, and the Japanese army began to charge. When the British soldiers at the front rushed to 30 meters, a large number of grenades were suddenly thrown from the Japanese position, "boom, boom, boom, boom.....

A large number of grenades exploded violently among the British stormtroopers, scattering the severed arms and flying flesh and blood. The British were stunned. As soon as the explosion was carried out, a large number of gunfire rang out on the Japanese position, and the remaining British soldiers went down as if they had been named one by one. Machine guns on both flanks of the British positions began to provide fire support, strafing the Japanese positions, and finally suppressed part of the Japanese firepower. But at this time, the company that the British attacked had lost its sharpness, and the large number of casualties made it impossible for the rest of the people to attack again, and they all turned around and ran, but the Japanese shot and killed them one by one in the back, and in the end less than 60 people could go back alive, and more than half of the casualties of a company were.

Although the second offensive of the British army failed, the Japanese also had some losses, the Japanese army had already suffered heavy losses in aircraft bombing and artillery bombing, and now it was even worse, not only the loss of weapons was serious, but also the casualties were also very large, and it is still unknown how long it can last. After the end of the second attack, the British army regained its strength after half an hour's rest, and prepared to launch a third attack on the Japanese position, but it is not known how the Japanese reacted this time. The Japanese army obviously had some support, otherwise the first two times would not have allowed the British to rush to such a close distance in front of the position.

Just as another British company was attacking, several commanders in the headquarters found that a large group of Japanese troops had entered the position to participate in the defense. Resarridge, the commander of the British division, immediately ordered: "Quickly order the troops to stop the attack!" "Yes, sir!"

An Zhen observed for a moment and said, "About two squads, more than a hundred people!" Rezarich thought for a moment and ordered: "The attacking force will increase its strength to one battalion, and this time it must attack the Japanese position in one fell swoop!" "Yes, sir!" Anzhen skimmed off, this is a typical refueling tactic, according to this style of play, it is estimated that it will not be able to break through the Japanese position within a few days, the Japanese army in the western front battlefield is obviously much more than the eastern front, not less than the Allied forces, the use of refueling tactics can only be a fight for attrition, and the attacker's casualty rate is much higher than the defender under normal circumstances, if it were not for the Allied forces to have air supremacy, and artillery groups to help, the British are afraid that they will be counterattacked by the Japanese army.

The British army finally launched a third attack, this time there was a battalion of troops, and the Japanese position plus the wounded, it is estimated that there is only a squadron, in terms of numbers, the British army is more than twice as large as the Japanese army, in this position, because of the limited space, the offensive force can only send one battalion at most, no matter how much it can not be used. After a whistle, several rows of British soldiers rushed out with rifles, and then they opened up to form a skirmish formation, and in a short distance of a few hundred meters, the British troops quickly rushed to a hundred meters in front of the Japanese position, and the entire forward position was full of corpses left by the British troops in the first two attacks.

The British soldiers didn't know what tricks the Japanese army would play this time, so they were all very careful, lest they be caught off guard by the Japanese again. To the surprise of the British army, this time the Japanese army did not play any tricks at all, only to see a team of nearly 200 people killed from the Japanese position, these Japanese soldiers were all holding rifles with bayonets, running and shouting to kill.

The two sides were only 100 meters apart, and they were charging quickly in each other's directions, and the British army had no time to react to what to do, and in just a few seconds, the Japanese army rushed up and started a bayonet battle with the British army in a group of two. The British army had never engaged in this kind of bayonet battle with white knives in red knives, and they were frightened as soon as they came into contact, and some British soldiers were so frightened that their hands and feet were cold when they saw the Japanese soldiers stabbing their bayonets into their stomachs.

At this moment, the British army collapsed instantly, and in addition to most of them turning around and fleeing, many people actually threw away their guns and knelt down to surrender. in European and American countries. In addition to the German army, other countries have basically not been trained in white-knuckle warfare after the war entered this era, and for hundreds of years, the armies of European and American countries have long been accustomed to the use of guns and forgot the method of cold weapon warfare.

As early as when the Japanese army rushed out of the trenches, An Zhen in the joint command post of the Allied rear said: "It's over, this attack ended in nothing!" The British division commander Resarridge and the Indian division commander Sean were not convinced at first, but it took less than six seconds. The performance of the British army confirmed the words of An Zhenjun. The battalion's performance disgraced Resarridge and Sean. The two of them were still counting on this time to be able to break through the Japanese defense line, but they did not expect to rush to the Japanese position, but were launched by the Japanese army to launch a counter-charge.

The two division commanders were furious at the battalion's British performance, while An Zhenjun kept an eye on the battlefield. What had worried him finally happened. The Japanese did not stop after launching a counter-charge. Instead, the British soldiers who continued to follow the battalion were rushing towards the Allied positions. He immediately shouted, "Lieutenant Colonel Leng, come and take a look!" "At this time, in addition to the two division commanders plus An Zhenjun, there was also a lieutenant colonel officer with a higher rank than everyone else. Lieutenant Colonel Leng (first name is Indifferent), the highest commander of the Allied Joint Supervision Team on the Western Front.

Hearing the voice indifferently, he quickly walked over to the telescope to take a look, and after only one glance, he got up and shouted: "The second squadron of the Overseer immediately presses up to the forward position, and all the soldiers and officers who attack their own positions will be killed!" A British major saluted and shouted, "Yes, sir!" When the two British division commanders heard this, they were taken aback, and hurriedly went to the telescope to observe, and saw that the British battalion that was attacking was driven back by the Japanese army like a duck, and the Japanese army bit the back, depending on the situation, the Japanese army rushed into the Allied position after the British army, and once the Japanese army rushed up for bayonet fighting, the other British troops who had not experienced white-knuckle combat would also completely collapse.

Thinking of such a consequence, cold sweat broke out on the foreheads of the two British division commanders in an instant, now the Allies are counterattacking, if they are instead rushed to their positions by the Japanese army, Resarridge, the British division commander, has also done it.

Before Resaric could speak, he immediately gave an order: "Quickly order the second battalion to counterattack, and the Japanese army must not be brought to our position!" Resaric reacted and refused: "No, order the second battalion to split into two, withdraw from both flanks of the position to the rear of the position, order the first battalion on the position, and once the second battalion separates, immediately open fire on the pursuing Japanese troops!" In any case, Ressaridge was also the commander of this British division, and he had supreme command here, and the operational staff quickly agreed: "Yes, sir!" ”

The order was quickly conveyed, and the British troops in the position began to shout through loudspeakers to the British troops of the 1st Battalion, who were fleeing, to withdraw from both flanks to the rear of the position, and the British soldiers and officers of the 1st Battalion began to disperse after hearing the shouting. But the Japanese troops who were pursuing behind were not stupid, and the British ran away from both sides, leaving them in the middle to expose the empty door to the British troops in the position as live targets? The Japanese army then divided into two groups and continued to pursue the British army of the first battalion.

Seeing this situation, the two British division commanders in the command suddenly turned pale with earth, and Sean beat his chest and said in annoyance: "I said that the troops should be ordered to turn back and attack, now it's okay, how can the soldiers in the forward position block the impact of the Japanese army?" Only An Zhen and Indifferent didn't say a word, and continued to observe the situation in front of the position with binoculars, now the situation can be said to be extremely critical, once the Japanese army rushed into the position from both flanks, the British soldiers did not have the courage to fight with the Japanese bayonet at all, and it was strange not to collapse without a girl.

On the forward position, more than half of the British soldiers who were fleeing back had lost their weapons, and it was a burden to run away with their weapons. Seeing that the British soldiers who had fled back to the flanks were only less than a hundred meters away from the ends of the position, the Overseer appeared. The commander of the British Major of the Second Squadron of the "Bang Bang Bang" Supervision Team pulled out his pistol and fired three shots into the sky, took out a loudspeaker and shouted: "Listen, the people in front immediately stop retreating, turn around and fight the Japanese army, and those who take a step back will be killed!" ”

"Whoa, whoa, ......whoa," the Overseer soldiers behind the British Major all pulled the bolts of their automatic rifles and aimed them at the fleeing British soldiers. Although the British soldiers and officers who were fleeing back heard the shouts of the warlords, no one took it seriously, stopped retreating, and turned to fight the Japanese army? They had long been frightened, and they didn't have the courage to turn around and fight to the death with the Japanese army. Seeing that his shouting had no effect, the handsome major's face turned pale, and he raised his palm and waved forward, and the soldiers of the Overseer on his side immediately opened fire.

"Dadada....." The British soldiers who ran in the front were killed more than a dozen people in an instant, and the British soldiers behind immediately stopped when they saw this. "Oh my God, they really opened fire on their own people!" Seeing that the momentum of the rout and flight had stopped, the British major of the overseer team picked up the loudspeaker and shouted: "Those who lead the enemy into their own positions will be killed!" ”

The British soldiers cursed. "Sir, let us go, we don't want to die, God, save us!" Many British soldiers burst into tears. "Da ......" Another frenzied burst of bullets swept at the feet of the British soldiers, causing the soldiers to retreat more than once. The warriors of the British Empire, if you go back, you will die, it is better to turn around and fight the Japanese to the end, kill those dwarves, guys, follow me! "Finally, a British second lieutenant in the rout led the counterattack.

When the other British soldiers saw this, they also knew that if they retreated, they would definitely be mercilessly killed by the Overseers, who had no honor or pension at all, and who died fighting the Japanese army, at least there was honor, and their families could still receive a pension. "Guys, kill back, kill back!" "Kill!" Under the leadership of a small number of people, a battalion of British soldiers was immediately killed and returned to melee with the Japanese army, and the middle buffer zone on the two positions shouted for a while.

As soon as this bayonet battle began, the combat effectiveness of the two sides was revealed, and the Japanese army was clearly proficient in this way, while the British suffered a great loss for lack of training. In this kind of battle, there was no room for thinking at all, it was completely instinctive, and the trained Japanese soldiers were skillful in assassination, and the individual combat effectiveness prevailed, but the British were more than twice as numerous as the Japanese, and the two sides were temporarily evenly matched.

After killing for more than half an hour, the soldiers on the British position trembled when they saw it, and this kind of bayonet battle was the most barbaric in modern warfare, and it was also the most courageous method of warfare. British soldiers smashed with butts without bayonets, and when the guns were lost, they pounced on them and bit them with their teeth, and at the moment of life and death, the instinctive survival ** allowed the British soldiers to use all the means they could think of to hurt the enemy, and the Japanese soldiers were even more fierce, and the bayonets were broken and the British soldiers scuffled together.

In the end, there were very few people who could move, this time in a white-knuckle battle, a squadron of the Japanese army was nearly 200 people, and a British battalion of four or five hundred British troops was left with only more than 20 people, and the casualty ratio was close to 1:2.5, this is still because the soldiers of the fifth division of the Japanese army have replenished a lot of new recruits, and the combat effectiveness has decreased a lot, if the Japanese army is all veterans, the British army is not an opponent at all. Later, the British army characterized this battle as the most tragic battle of the British army in the entire World War II! Even in German battles, the British rarely fought such white-knuckle battles with the Germans, and this time, it was the largest and most tragic among the dead.

Until the end of the battle for a long time, the two British division commanders in the command post were still in a trance. More than 20 surviving British soldiers received timely medical treatment, and two British division commanders and four people, including An Zhen and Leng Mo, visited them in the field hospital. "I have to say that more than 20 of you are the most heroic army soldiers in the entire British army, I wish you a speedy recovery, return to the battlefield, salute!" After An Zhen finished speaking, he gave a military salute, and some other officers also saluted together.

The more than 20 British soldiers who were covered in wounds and bandages suddenly puffed up their chests, and they were very excited, the soldiers and officers of the Burmese army have always looked down on the British army, and they usually don't see birds on the road, but now An Zhen and others have affirmed their bravery and made them feel great glory.
