Chapter 54: The blood stains the red soil (9)
. "Coaster?" Lieutenant General Slime, who received no response, asked again.
The displeasure that the boss showed in his tone made Coaster suddenly wake up. He stammered with a bitter smile: "General, the Chinese major general had just been to Tonggu as the representative of the Chinese side! This..., this..., you know that we had a very unhappy time with the Chinese! General! I think we should leave here as soon as possible!"
Lieutenant General Srem was deeply aware of the inside story of the "Tonggu Fire", and of course he knew why Srem was afraid of being unpleasant. In fact, Srem had always been opposed to the activities of Coaster and others under the command of Wavell. If he hadn't felt that there was a shadow of "London" behind these things, he would have jumped out to stop them. But now all this is a fait accompli. Facing reality and getting the greatest benefits in reality is Srem's motto.
After weighing the pros and cons, Slem pointed at the British soldiers who were eager to try in a sure tone and said, "Major General Coaster, we need those cars, weapons, food, and even a victory to maintain the minimum morale. Otherwise, if we go to India, we will not be able to hold on even a hundred miles of itinerary! Besides, the Chinese have always been known for their "benevolence, forgiving and kindness". We are fighting side by side with them, and things will not go bad! You should organize the troops! Twenty minutes later, I will let both the Chinese and Japanese re-understand the British army!"
The lieutenant general's "bold words" did not make Coaster resonate even with a trace of resonance. This general who could not fall asleep without wearing Indian silk pajamas was not interested in the Chinese philosophy of dealing with things. He only cared about the sharp spirit like a blade that he "catched" from Cheng's eyes that day. He had already told Coaster a thousand times, ten thousand times that only the fierce and ruthless "carnivore" would have such a terrifying light! But he had always been timid at his superiors, but he did not have the courage to openly resist military orders. In desperation, he had to express his strict implementation of the lieutenant general's orders, while secretly thinking in his heart how to escape from the army smoothly. He led a few confidants to flee to Impal. In short, Coaster would rather deal with a man-eating crocodile than face the "Chinese-style revenge" that was about to fall on him.
It should be said that Slem's idea is good, but the British "allies" do not seem to want to give them this opportunity to regroup!
The British had not yet prepared the team, and the Japanese troops in the valley were already struggling to support the Japanese army. They collapsed one by one after another when Cheng Jiaji, the new team, attacked Cheng Jiaji's new team, and then broke down one by one.
What surprised Colonel Nogi was that the Chinese army did not kill them all. Instead, he "rotated" the Japanese army, which was almost scattered and roamed into a group of bosses, and squeezed them from three sides to drive the Japanese army toward the Tanikou. He drove the tigers and swallowed the wolf! Nogi was still a little capable after all. He quickly found the most reasonable annotation for this abnormal behavior of the Chinese.
Konoki knew that now, he and his troops wanted to escape, and there was no other choice except to crush the British corpses!
"Assault south with all your might and fight out!" Nobuki pulled out his chrysanthemum sword from his family and shouted loudly.
Under the threat of the sabers that could fall at any time in the hands of Japanese officers, the remaining five or six hundred Japanese soldiers who were panicked and panicked stumbled into a charge formation. Of course, the Japanese army was able to complete this "difficult action" in a panic escape, and the pursuits' intention to "release the water".
Seeing the hideous "short easter" who were about to "get out" near, the British officers and soldiers' eyes were focused on Lieutenant General Srem, waiting for him to make a decision. Srem was also in a dilemma under the gaze of everyone. He was facing regrets with the Japanese army who were eager to jump over the wall. This is not a fight against the Taiping Fist. Even if it can be stopped, the remaining manpower will inevitably suffer heavy losses. Withdraw from the valley and give way to the "wolf pack"? The Royal Army will "reputation" is the second, and the trouble will be in trouble. Doing so will inevitably cause the entire army to collapse. You must know that this area is already a Japanese-occupied area. If you want to gather the dispersed officers and soldiers back, Srem has no confidence.
After thinking about it again and again, Lieutenant General Slime still let the military band sound. Only by keeping the Scottish seedlings growing in the Japanese!
The melodious and ancient flute sounds made the British officers and soldiers suddenly feel excited as if they were given a shot of a cardiotonic agent.
"There are still a few British devils who have races!" Music is undoubtedly a "world language" that transcends races and countries. Even a rough man like Liu Tianlong could hear the passionate and high-pitched fighting spirit from the sound of the flute.
"If they were enemies, maybe I would be kinder to them, it would be a pity!" A little decisiveness appeared in Cheng Jiaji's words of compassion. "Brother Qi Tian, let the army press down on their steps! You must leave more hope for the Japanese, so that this live drama can be more majestic."
He said "magnificent and majestic" and was really "magnificent and majestic". Just as Cheng Jiaji finished speaking, two thousand British troops took neat steps and turned around to the Japanese army rushing towards the valley entrance with a "straight-up" force.
The "arrogance" of the defeated generals under his command was inexplicably surprised by the Japanese army. Before Nobuki could urge them again, the Japanese soldiers rushed forward to it. After two or three rounds of hits and extremely high close-range shooting, the two people collided directly, and then a chaotic battle opened the curtain.
To be honest, the British army is somewhat combat-effective. Although many of them are bare-handed, they fight with the Japanese with their tall figure, relatively sufficient physical strength and several times the number of people on the other side, but for a while, they are equally matched. However, the British are not fully equipped, and they do not pay much attention to hand-to-hand combat training. The casualties are inevitably a little bigger. Often, two back-to-back Japanese troops will fall, and three or even four British troops will "accompany them". Of course, this exchange ratio is not acceptable to Noki.
"The last tactic!" With Colonel Nogi who was surrounded by dozens of Japanese soldiers, a shrill howl like a wild wolf. Hundreds of Japanese officers and soldiers shouted long live the emperor and pulled the grenades on their bodies. Here, there were loud bangs, splattering shrapnel, blowing hundreds of British soldiers surrounding these hundred "exploding hearts" into blood and blood, crying for their parents.
Cheng Jiaji, who knew that the time had arrived, pointed to Nogi and others, shouted to Ma Sanbao: "Sanbao, you can take the two platoons in the guards to first dig the Japanese's nest, and then block the British's retreat. Remember to be strong when blocking the British!"
The rapid attack of the guards was actually no different from the military orders in the soldiers of the cavalry brigade, which had been red from the face and thick neck (even if it wasn't, it was also considered to be true!). So the Chinese cavalry from several directions both fought with all their strength to kill the Japanese army in front of them.
Nogi set up the "symbolical" blocking line with nearly 100 wounded soldiers. In front of thousands of cavalry rushing, they were not broken into the ground with one piece and one poke! After shooting one after another, they took out the wounded Japanese soldiers. They gathered together into dozens of small groups in the short-lived Mercedes-Benz. These small groups of cavalry shot towards the "chest" of the Japanese army like sharp arrows.
Facts have proved that Cheng Jiaji pinched the time very accurately. When the cavalry attacked from the previous place where the British and Japanese armies were mixed, the British army, which was psychologically overwhelmed by the complete Japanese army's "no fear of death" and "advance backwards" in large numbers, while the Japanese army that had just narrowly defeated for a while, were still unable to figure out the current situation. This means that the Chinese cavalry not only had a greater room for development, but even the "living targets" were "voluntarily" served as the "living targets".
The next second, the Chinese cavalry naturally used grenades and suffix bullets to "well" the Japanese officers and soldiers who were still secretly happy to "show politics".
After the fire assault, the saber should be on the stage. The cavalry soon discovered that the "outrageous" Japanese army, which had always been tenacious, turned into "old, weak, women and children". Although the Japanese army, who had been exhausted, were still struggling in vain, as long as they faced the Chinese cavalry, the Japanese resistance would collapse without the effort of the cavalry. Sometimes, even if three or five cavalry gathered together, they could rely on the rush of war horses to chase and rush more than a dozen or twenty Japanese soldiers.
Like "sharpening beans", they knocked down one by one and stepped on them to death. Later, the Chinese cavalry were too lazy to use sabers and showed off their riding skills. Not to mention, the cavalry trained by Liu Tianlong, who had been in the old forest of Guandong for more than ten years, were indeed elite. Although they had reached the legendary "unity of man and horse", they were also "played" in a variety of ways. Just because they were trampled on by the iron hooves of war horses, there were more than a dozen Japanese devils who could not die for a while.
The cruel way of playing the Chinese cavalry not only made the Japanese army "destroyed", but also scared the British army who had already been in power and wanted to come forward to get a share of the pie.
"Major General Coaster, how much do you know about that "Cheng"?" After seeing the Japanese army that had defeated his troops just now, being "slaughtered" by the Chinese cavalry while chatting and laughing, Lieutenant General Slem would certainly not believe the rumor that "the Chinese are a group of kind and can be bullied." This understanding prompted him to solemnly consider Coaster's earlier suggestions.
"General, I only know that he is the youngest, most stern, and most brilliant general in the Chinese army in recent years. Also, he has never lost a single battle in the battle against Japan! General, let's go!" In the battle just now, General Coaster, who was unable to escape because he was tightly tied to Lieutenant General Srem and could not escape, was obviously shrouded in extreme fear. While he couldn't help but tremble all over, he sent someone to send someone to the Chinese escort of the military delegation that day after being threatened by Cheng Jiaji that day, and truthfully provided the information he sent from the Chinese escorts of the military delegation to the Legion Commander.
After hearing this, Slime even kicked Coaster to death on the spot. This brainless Scottish idiot! Didn’t he know that the younger he was, the more successful he was, the more vengeful the person who was a person who was successful and had great military achievements, the more he would be revenge! If they didn’t do things so well that day, even if they left a small part of the supplies or remedy it from other aspects afterwards, the situation of the British army would be much better now!
"Get away!" Lieutenant General Slime said dejectedly.
Slem just wants to leave now, it's too late!
As soon as the British army retreated to the entrance of the valley, they faced them at some point, a row of Chinese cavalry holding sabers that had arrived first.
Slem looked at the murderous aura in front of him, hoping that he would have a "misunderstanding" meaning. Nearly a hundred cavalry of Chinese cavalry. He looked back and looked more than ten times more than the opponent, but was depressed and panicked. He also made a wise choice based on the battle he had witnessed just now, and after silently calculating the actual combat power ratio between the two sides, he knew that the British army was already the turtle in the jar, Slem made a wise choice.
Slem stepped forward and said calmly: "I am Slem, the Lieutenant General of the British Empire Army. What does your army mean?"
Qiu Erji, who was standing by, quickly translated the words of Lieutenant General into Chinese.
The response to Srem was the saber in Ma Sanbao's hand.
"Everyone sat down." Slime had a good understanding. He immediately understood the meaning of the Chinese major pointing his saber downward.
When Slem gave this order, he felt a sense of humiliation that was indescribable. When will majors from third-rate countries like China be able to treat a British lieutenant general so ruthlessly?
He didn't even bother to tell me a word! Just as the loss-ridden lieutenant general was feeling resentful, the ordinary British officers and soldiers were enjoying their "good times". It was no wonder that from afternoon to dusk, these people had been fighting intermittently for four or five hours. They were so tired that when they lay down, even the sabers that were slashing towards them could not be called up from the ground!
