Chapter 54: The blood stains the red soil (8)
Although the fierce resistance of the British army caused heavy losses to the Japanese army, even though thousands of "prey" successfully escaped under the leadership of Lieutenant General Alishan, Colonel Konomi Shin's mood was still "a clear day". As the highest commander of the pursuit detachment, he knew very well what kind of achievements he had achieved. You should know that since the outbreak of the war in Myanmar, the Japanese army fought against the British army. Although they have won many battles and won a lot, they can be calculated carefully and they all "eat" Indian and Burmese "suburban" soldiers. But this time it is different. The six thousand annihilated British troops are all "authentic" British "produced", not to mention capturing a lieutenant general, a major general and a large number of colonels.
This also made the Domosun, who was determined to imitate Nogi Hinomi, believe that within twenty-four hours, he would wear a major general uniform!
With this kind of good mood of "a rare sight in a century", Nogi Nobu "given" the opportunity to meet Slem with "generously".
In order to demonstrate the power of the winner, Nogi also specially sent someone to collect his private collection that he never left for a moment. A small and delicate military tent that was said to have been used by a daimyo in the Warring States Period.
"Mr. Colonel, I protest! Your soldiers openly organized the despicable behavior of our injured officers and soldiers! Not only did they violate the agreement between the two sides, but they also trampled on the provisions of the sacred Geneva Convention signed by your country on the treatment of prisoners of war! I want to accuse your crimes from the entire "civilized world"!" After meeting in two seconds, the large amount of saliva sprayed out from Lieutenant General Srem in the mouth made Colonel Nogi rush to turn his face.
Given the "not friendly enough" attitude of the British Lieutenant General, the guards on both sides of the captain of the wing had to "work hard" teach him how to be a "guest" who "stays his composure"!
"Captain Nogi, who had learned from the adjutant of the place where he studied in the UK (that is the one who went to persuade him to surrender before), learned that Lieutenant General Slime, who had been "teached" to the ground with his knees, said calmly: "Lieutenant General, I am honored to discuss some "academic" issues with you with a friend. First of all, the agreement we signed only talks about protecting the lives of your military combatants, and those who have lost their combat effectiveness. Obviously, there is no such thing as guarantee. Our soldiers are only dealing with this matter according to the customs and habits of our country.
If there is any offense, please forgive me! Please rest assured that only your army officers and soldiers can obey our management, and this kind of thing will not happen again (the waste has been dealt with, and the rest of the land is a free labor force!). After all, if there was no strong support from your country for decades, there would be no big Japan today. Although the two countries are in a bad mood, this friendship is still something to be said! As for the Geneva Convention, that is the business of politicians. The Japanese Army has its own way of acting! By the way! This is also due to the special national conditions of the big Japan, please fully understand it!"
Nogi Nobu said, "A Japanese lieutenant behind him was recording the paper word by word.
Colonel Nogi took advantage of Inoue's translation of his words to Srime, and hurriedly sought the transcript from the second lieutenant and looked at it carefully. His permission for this book "Marching Pen Zha" was very high. Thinking about the "good story" of "smart subduing the Southern Barbarians" today, it would make the descendants of the Nogi family excited and their blood boiled, Nogi smiled. The Colonel smiled so "sweet", as if he was sitting in the red light district in Tokyo admiring the "national treasure" of Japan "Asakawa".
Only then did Lieutenant General Slime feel from the "small" "discomfort" of the abdomen of "hears" by the Japanese soldiers, it was impossible to have any similar feelings to his master. Even a fool could easily see from the general's "smooth" face, which was slimy and smooth, that this person was on the verge of madness! In fact, if five or six guards had not pressed their shoulders tightly, this hero who could not even say a word of Dunkirk's retreat would have long pounced on Nogi Daishi and fought for him to die together!
Just when the colonel who was satisfied with his desire to perform was trying to wave his hand and let someone raise the British lieutenant general who had lost his value as a foil, a Japanese lieutenant broke into the tent without even a report.
"What happened to Suhara Jun?" Nogi, who was still showing his joy a second ago, completed his "face change" in an instant. Colonels from a noble family have always been very concerned about the superiors and inferiors.
"Captain, the 146th Regiment called. Their convoy encountered a minefield twenty kilometers away from the valley and is being eliminated. Colonel Hatano reminds you to be vigilant!" When Suhara, who looked like a slut, said this, he did it in one go, which shows how panic and anxious he was.
Although the person who speaks is godless and has no master, the person who hears is also like being Thunder God. Nogi has a strong aura of a noble man, but after all, he is a competent military commander, and he can still understand the "severity" of the subsequent troops being blocked for no reason.
Could it be! There is another enemy army staring at the valley near the valley! This terrible "guessment" made Nomu sweat suddenly. After the tragic victory, his subordinates were either "tiring up" the piles of spoils, or guarding prisoners, searching for their own wounded people. Not only was the slack of warning, most of them were even in chaos. If a considerable number of enemy troops launched a sudden attack at this time, the consequences...!
No! If the enemy army had just fought fiercely, they would have come out! At the best time, they would not move their troops and wait until everything was settled before attacking. This would not make sense in logic! Just as Nogi was puzzled, he suddenly felt that the earth under his feet was trembling slightly, and then a muffled thunder sound came into the military tent!
"Yiyama, go and rectify the troops. The guard team and the corps are all with me!" At this moment, I knew that I had become a mantis stalking cicadas, and the oriole was behind. Nobuki, the mantis who was married to others in this Chinese proverb, had only one thought in my mind, and took these people around me, and then joined all the troops I could encounter along the way. Hurry up to the relatively narrow valley entrance. First, turn the enemy cavalry in the brigade of the land that was rushing towards the valley, and stop him again and again, as long as it can stop the other party for even a quarter or two, the situation will be another world.
From the heart, Nomudi's reaction is not unhappy, and his response is not accurate. However, since Cheng Jiaji has been in a state of shape for a long time, he will give him this opportunity!
What is the concept of charge of thousands of cavalry groups? People who have not experienced it personally cannot imagine it. Even if they can witness it with their own eyes, it is difficult to accurately describe the magnificent and unparalleled Haohan in words. Especially under the valley terrain, the magnificent impact formation formed by rows of cavalry, which is awe-inspiring formation that makes everyone who faces it feels frivolous and chill from the bottom of their hearts! This is nothing but. What made Colonel Nogi, who had just rushed out of the military tent, despair the opponent's forward. He had actually rushed to a place far away from him.
"Blow the trumpet! Move all the people in the north back! Hurry! Don't let the Chinese cut off the valley!" Colonel Nogi, who had recognized the attacking cavalry as an "old acquaintance", jumped and shouted. In fact, Nogi didn't know that the cavalry of the land had poured into the heart of the valley. No matter what order he ordered, he could not catch up with the war horses like a wind-chi electric engine. But apart from these, what could he do. The heart of the valley was so wide and flat, and the distance between the two miles was so close. Even if he was willing to put the only 100 people in his hand on his head, it would be just a death sentence.
Nogi is brave, but he still respects the unnecessary "sacrifice". After issuing the last military order, Nogi left the command center in the center of the southern section of the valley under the escort of a group of guards. In less than two minutes, the horses of the vanguard of the 45th Cavalry Brigade of China trampled on Nogi's treasure tent.
The reason why the attacks of Chinese cavalry have such shocking suddenness is that they are the result of personally leading the team to attack Liu Tianlong.
In order to win one blow, he not only ordered his subordinates to "carry a man and pick the bells", but also took the lead in hiking on the horse for half an hour. It was not until the entire army was within a thousand meters of the Japanese army that he suddenly exerted his strength and attacked with all his strength. This was thanks to the Japanese army in the valley who were all focused on enjoying the "results" after the "harvest". Otherwise, even if Liu Tianlong was thinking about it, no matter how good the soldiers of the cavalry brigade communicated with the horse, they might not have done the things to this point!"
The British prisoners of war in the southern section of the valley and the Japanese soldiers guarding him had already let the group of cavalry who were rushing towards him with the sound of wind and thunder, trembling legs and peeing. There was no reason not to dodge each other. Therefore, with the "joint efforts" between the previous massacres and the slaughtered people, a dedicated horse path with thousands of people on both sides was formed in the valley with "efficiency" that was difficult to achieve even if they had been specially rehearsed. As for the British and Japanese soldiers who were half a beat slower, they were first hit to the ground by high-speed horses, and then they were "treated equally" by horse hooves that flew up and down, and then they were bloody "human-shaped cloth bags" containing rotten flesh and bones were embedded in the center of the "road".
"Passing it down, firepower suppresses the two hatchbacks and breaks forward!" Liu Tianlong rushed to the front of the military formation with the shrapnel whistling above his head, who deserved to be an expert in the surprise attack. He gave priority to the "trophy" he had just dropped from his hands and was trying to gather to fight stubbornly. It was undoubtedly wise.
Liu Tianlong's order ejected a string of flame tongues from the hands of the Chinese cavalry holding automatic firearms on both sides of the queue. The flame tongues were like sharp arrows, nailing hundreds of Japanese soldiers who were shooting at the cavalry to the ground. Of course, the British troops who were regarded as "human shields" by these Japanese troops fell more. The fierce and indiscriminate revengeful attacks of the Chinese cavalry not only suppressed most of the Japanese troops on both sides and could not raise their heads, but also caused the Japanese army to completely lose control of British prisoners.
Except for those old-minded officers who were holding on to the "honour of the British Army" and lying on the ground indifferently, waiting for the victory or defeat of the Sino-Japanese War that was fighting, almost all the British soldiers took action. These British people who were eager to take their destiny back into their hands, flew up and bit them with a few Japanese troops guarding them. The British soldiers' behavior of rising up to save themselves objectively and powerfully supported the actions of the Chinese cavalry to penetrate deep into the valley.
The threatened cavalry from both wings were eliminated and they once again urged their horses to accelerate. From the sabers, grenades and bullets that were mostly Japanese-born, poured down from the deep valley, the Japanese officers and soldiers who were still acting as porters not long ago!
The Japanese army, scattered all over the valley, had to deal with a larger cavalry assault group that was more than they had combined. Is there any suspense in this kind of battle?
Accompanied by the heads, they flew into the sky with bloody rain. The Chinese cavalry, who had strong penetration, quickly broke into the small hills that had made the British army "die their eyes open".
"TuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTu
"Sun Laoliu, bring two companies to dismount and block me. Use the fireworks to light up this small mountain bag. Let's see how the Japanese got down!" Liu Tianlong, the Japanese army used a Brown-style light machine gun to wipe off his right thumb, and held the saber with his left hand and shouted at the top of his throat, "Brothers, follow me to kill the dog god!"
Thousands of officers and soldiers responded with a loud bang: "Kill the dog and you will be able to fight back!" The rolling iron stream with a rainbow turned south!
At this time, the Japanese army in the southern section of the valley was not so easy to deal with. Facing the remnants of Japanese troops who had formed several large groups, the cavalry brigade would have a group charge again. It would be a loss to be worth it. Fortunately, the Japanese army also hurriedly merged. Not only was the personnel composition and weapon ratio extremely unreasonable. It was also a tired division that was repeatedly hurt, and there were less than a thousand soldiers who could fight. But that was it. The sudden increase in resistance still forced Liu Tianlong to let half of the cavalry dismount.
The Japanese army from all walks of life tried desperately to form a group, but was blocked by their opponents. However, the cavalry did not carry heavy weapons and could not separate themselves from the fierce battle. They "borrowed" British artillery of all sizes and were thrown all over the mountains and fields. Although they had the upper hand on the scene, they could not eat these hundreds of fish swimming under the cauldron for a while.
When the entangled Chinese and Japanese armies were fighting desperately, the more than 2,000 piled at the entrance of the valley, relying on the guns that were snatched from the Japanese and "picked" on the ground, the British army had some self-protection power, but they sat on the mountain to watch the tiger fight!
As an integral part of the Allied forces, even if the Japanese slaughtered the wounded British army, the British army should have a clear stand. In fact, although the British army was accidentally injured by China in the battle just now, British soldiers and most of the middle and low-level officers still advocated rushing forward to fight side by side with the Chinese cavalry. But the problem lies in the senior British officers who lowered their heads and wanted to disappear in the air, and the situation changed and became arrogant.
"Gentlemen, I solemnly remind you that our mission is to withdraw to Inpal and defend the "jewel" in the crown of the Queen! The battle here has nothing to do with us and the British Empire, and it is not worth our bloodshed!" Major General Coaster, the commander of the First Division of the British and Burmese Army, who had met several times with Cheng Jiaji, explained such a "truth" in an imperative tone. The blood of the British people will always be for the most personal interests of Britain. If someone is willing to bleed for the British, it is asking for it!
"Major General, our vehicles were either bombed by the Japanese or parked in the area where the two armies were fighting. Without transportation and sufficient food, we would not have been able to reach India. Besides, with these guns alone, the ubiquitous independent army can clean up us. So everyone thinks that only by assisting the Chinese to defeat the Japanese can we get these things we urgently need!" The army intelligence officer Qiu Erji had many opportunities to deal with the middle and low-level officers of the entire army due to his position, and his mind and eloquence were quite good. It was natural to be recommended as spokesperson by these people at this time. Moreover, he is very confident now. behind Qiu Erji, dozens of British military lieutenants who "specially made" to cheer him.
"Major Qiuerji, I would like to pay attention. Before Lieutenant General Srem came back, I was the highest-ranking officer in this army. According to the relevant regulations of the Royal Army, all officers and soldiers must obey, otherwise it will be a "mutine". You are also a school-level officer. The consequences that those who organize "mutinees" will bear should be clear! I now officially order you to line up and withdraw from this valley!" General Coaster, who made Qiuerji feel a little rude, did not care whether he would really inspire a "mutinees" and sacrificed the last magic weapon of the "regulation". In fact, in addition to wanting to escape back to India, Coaster also had a reason to "help" the Chinese army, but it was really inconvenient to say it. In the Japanese army,
Before invading Myanmar, the Indian Governor General Wavell came to Yangon for inspection. During a "chat", he had been operating in Asia for many years and had mixed forces. General Wavell once told Coaster and other close friends that Myanmar could not be saved and the Chinese army would definitely come. Your task is to not lose to the Japanese on the battlefield, and at least not let the Chinese defeat the Japanese. It was a big mistake for Britain to fatten up Japan, which was specialized in biting the evil dogs of its owner. Fortunately, after this war, Japan will inevitably decline. China, which is many times stronger than Japan's comprehensive national strength. If it is replaced by Japan, it will be a greater disaster for the British Empire, a colonial country with a wide range of interests and tens of millions of square kilometers in Asia!
When Coaster was thinking about it, this trump card that had been tried and done all the time, the other party would obey the orders. But this man was appreciated by General Wewell by pushing a good hand. He did not go through several decent battles after all, and the psychological mutations of the subordinates on the battlefield were not enough!
The abnormal toughness of Qiu Erji and others made Major General Coaster, who could not command a few people, still had no choice but to do anything. However, out of habitual fear of "military law", Qiu Erji and others did not dare to bypass Coaster and do their own thing. After all, their refusal to execute the order of Coaster, which was not directly under their command, was considered a "mutineering" and there was no way Coaster decided. However, without the command of the commander "privately" to participate in the battle, it would be confirmed.
In this way, the British army began to confront each other in the battlefield where flesh and blood were flying everywhere and shouting and killing sounds were only five or six hundred meters away.
This "lie" situation did not change until Lieutenant General Slem, who had climbed out of the valley with his hands and feet, had an "unexpected" appearance.
The lieutenant general, whose head and face were covered with mud and horse manure, was still a little brave. He resolutely rejected Major General Coaster's "suggestion" and ordered the British army to immediately launch an attack on the Japanese army. At this moment, a rapid sound of horse hooves came from outside the valley. Without the order from any commander, thousands of "well-trained" British troops immediately flashed to the sides and lay on the ground with a "lightning speed" moment.
This time, there were only two hundred cavalrymen above and over, and the lead was an incredibly young Chinese major general.
Without waving sabers, these Chinese soldiers were holding the latest American m1a1 submachine guns, commonly known as Tomsheng submachine guns, and each of them had a twenty-shot speed machine and a row of jagged grenades around their waists.
This kind of powerful and incredible firepower equipment that even Lieutenant General Srem, who is well-informed, is not the most shocking thing for British officers and soldiers.
What made the British officers who were highly regarded by the high-profile British army were the most unrestrained "newcomers". The look that projected when they rode their horses over them was so strong and obvious that even Major General Coaster, who was "recognized" with the most "gentlemanly temperament" among the British army blushed.
It is obvious that the Chinese did not want to say hello to the "friendly army" from beginning to end. In the blink of an eye, these solemn Chinese cavalry, silent and with a mountain of heavy Chinese cavalry, passed through the valley entrance under the "line welcome" of the British army.
"Coaster, what's wrong with you?" asked Srime, who noticed Coaster's expression was abnormal.
Coaster didn't hear the question from the commander of the Legion, and his mind was already full of unpleasant memories.
At that time, you and your subordinates will be prisoners of war for the Japanese, and I will be the winner of defeating the Japanese who captured you!...I will let the Japanese under my command continue to manage you for a period of time, depending on the attitude of your country!
Thinking of the "terror", Major General Coaster couldn't help but shivered.
