Chapter 1159 The Battle of Ban Hong (4)
In this battle, the number of Chinese teams participating in the battle was 8,600, and the number of British troops was 2,700. The Chinese soldiers were fully prepared and strongly sought the war. With anger and a desire to prove their stubbornness, they attacked again in the middle of the night, which immediately caused the British team, who had always regarded themselves as gentlemen, and the Indian dogs who imitated their masters from head to toe, to collapse immediately.
The weakest resistance and the first one to be captured were the defenders of Manglai Village.
Hong Lingge, the commander of the 257th Regiment, led 1,300 people to launch a general attack on Manglai, and the Indian defenders were frightened by the Chinese's rapid attack and lifeless charge. One and a half hours later, Manglai was captured. In the darkness of this battle, twenty-two Chinese soldiers were killed and seventy-eight were injured. Four of the dead soldiers were hit by the Chinese's own stray bullets...
There were not more than 500 Indians in Manglai Village, but two hundred, and only twenty-four British officials were under management. These British officials were unfortunately hit by grenades fired by the Chinese. They were swept by light machine guns just now, and the officers were killed in the first time. The reason why the Indians resisted for an hour and a half was that they always thought that the British master was still there and the main master was there, so they had confidence. Unfortunately, they did not see the British master until they were completely wiped out by the Chinese.
Forty-six of the Indian soldiers were killed, fifty-one was injured, and one hundred and seventeen soldiers were captured. However, these Indians were very dissatisfied. You Chinese were doing sneak attacks, but you actually did sneak attacks in the middle of the night. They were so ungenius!
After counting the number of soldiers' casualties, Honglinger said sadly: "It seems that night battles are also risky, fucking me. I have twenty-two brothers."
At this time, a non-commissioned officer reported that Indian prisoners demanded humane treatment and hoped that you could give priority to their prisoners.
"People who treat them first?" Honglinger was surprised. Has this Indian eaten too much curry? He was ruined by eating it? Or did he drink too much water from the Ganges and was stupid?
Yun Daihui, the battalion commander of the second battalion who had been killed the most under his command, immediately said: "Group, leave these people to me, and I will give them priority."
"How do you treat me?" Honglinger asked.
"Humanitarian treatment." Yun Daihui curled his lips and said with a malicious smile.
Hong Lingge looked at this kid. On weekdays, this kid was full of bad water. This kid was from Rehe. There is a proverb in the Republic of China that there are no good people in Rehe! By the way, during the Republic of China, the most cunning and worst thieves in China were from Rehe, which was really a nest of thieves. What good ideas can be come up with by the military officers from Rehe? It’s nothing but killing prisoners to vent their anger. Forget it, just pretend that they don’t know anything. After hesitating for a while, hesitating, “It’s all for you, and treat it humanely.”
"Yes! Ensure humanity!" Yun Daihui immediately ordered the captives to be tied up. He then took them to the woods, and then ordered the soldiers to use bayonets to pick them all. While the Shanxi soldiers and Shaanxi soldiers in the Second Battalion were still hesitating, the Yunnan soldiers and Guizhou soldiers immediately rushed up with a scream.
"Puchi!"
"Puchi!"
The bearded Baotou soldiers fell to the ground screaming and blood flowed into a river. When several northern soldiers wanted to reach out, the prisoners had already been killed by everyone. The hesitation of several northern soldiers made the southern soldiers laugh and joke. Several northern soldiers shook their heads and said that it was not that we were afraid, but that we had never heard of this order and were not adapted to it. When the northern warlords fought in the past, the prisoners were not killed. After the battle, they redeem them with money.
"**! So, the Yunnan Army is invincible." An Yunnan soldier laughed.
Yun Daihui was actually very impressed by the decisiveness of these southern soldiers in carrying out their orders. He laughed and praised: "The King of the Jungle, the Yunnan-Guizhou Army."
The battle that took place at the beginning of Ban Hong caught the British off guard. Then Xiao Yaonan's troops encountered tenacious resistance. It turned out that the British left the battalion composed entirely of the British in Ban Hong and transferred some Indian soldiers to Ban Ban Mountain to resist Li Shucheng's troops.
This army is not very skilled in terms of combat, but the pride of the British makes them extremely tenacious. They can lose to the Germans, French, and Americans, but they can lose to the Chinese - absolutely not. There are about 500 British people hiding in silver mines and relying on factories to resist.
Seeing the enemy hiding in Banhongyin Mine, Xiao Yaonan immediately ordered me to throw grenades and grenades kept firing. After a while, Liu Bin, the 3rd Battalion Commander of the 258th Regiment, rescued all the workers in the mine, and the workers immediately joined the siege of the British. One of the small Han people ran to Xiao Yaonan and said, "I know a small path to enter the mine."
"Who are you?"
"I am the owner of Banhong Yin Mine." The little man said with a wry smile. Since the British entered Banhong, he, the owner, was caught and thrown into the mine before he had time to withdraw.
The owner's path surprised Xiao Yaonan. After he introduced that the silver mine also had an underground passage that led to the owner's bedroom. However, the owner was caught before he had time to escape into the bedroom...
At this moment, Liu Bin took the initiative to lead the soldiers into the mine and defeat the British inside and outside.
Xiao Yaonan patted Liu Bin on the shoulder and said, "You guys, be careful, we have to drink celebration wine tomorrow."
"Yes, I'll be there! But Hubei guys can't drink us Shandong people." Liu Bin said with a smile.
Xiao Yaonan put his foot on Liu Bin's butt. Liu Bin ran away with a smile, picked a company of suicide squads, and used a submachine gun and light machine gun grenade gun, with extremely powerful firepower. Under Liu Bin's leadership, the suicide squad immediately crawled into the hole and crawled towards the owner's bedroom.
The troops attacking the outside world were transferred to the submachine gun and some light machine guns, and their firepower was greatly weakened. They were afraid of hurting their brothers, so they did not dare to release the grenade gun at will. This time, the confidence of the British increased greatly. It turned out that the Chinese only had this ability, and they were in awe...
About an hour later, a violent exchange of fire suddenly broke out inside the silver mine. Liu Bin's suicide squad rushed out of the core of the silver mine with automatic weapons. Three soldiers climbed up to the tall building and started firing at the British with light machine guns.
At this time, the sky gradually became brighter.
Xiao Yaonan ordered a cooperation in the offense, and more than 2,000 people started a new round of attacks against the silver mine defended by the British. At the same time, more than 1,000 mining workers also joined the offense.
The attack at Banbanshan was also extremely smooth, because in addition to infantry artillery, Li Shucheng also had ten 75 mountain cannons. At the beginning of the general attack at twelve o'clock at night, Li Shucheng immediately ordered the artillery soldiers who had already aimed at bombard the British positions and hills.
The shelling lasted for nearly an hour, and the British Indian army, which had low fighting will, began to show signs of defeat. Several British officials shouted with guns: "We are condescending, they can't beat them!" British officials did not expect that the Chinese team would use shelling. In their concept, the Chinese at most had machine guns and grenades, but they did not expect that the enemy had mortars, infantry cannons, and mountain cannons, which gave the British and Indians a headache.
However, the Chinese team was also very troubled. After all, the British army occupied the pass and the top of the mountain. The British officials had all participated in the European war officers, had rich practical experience and occupied all favorable positions. During the temptations in the past few days, the Chinese team found that although the Indian soldiers on the opposite side were strangely worn, their marksmanship was better than those of the Chinese soldiers.
But the Chinese have guns!
Ten 75 mountain cannons, ten 70 infantry cannons, ten 65 mortars, and four 85 mortars.
Amid the sound of cannons, Indian soldiers and British officials hid in hiding one after another. Seeing this, Li Shucheng immediately called Confucius, the commander of the 260th Regiment, and asked him to capture a mountain about 80 meters in the middle of the mountain. This mountain is said to be high or low, and its location is on the edge, which is not an important place. However, one advantage is that there is a relatively large flat land on the top of the peak. If the mortar is transported to it after the attack is taken, the range of the artillery of the Zhongxun Team can be expanded by two kilometers.
Confucius immediately executed the order and ordered the Third Battalion of the 260th Regiment to attack. The Third Battalion sent four platoons, two platoons to feint, and two platoons secretly touched. At this time, the benefits of the Yunnan soldiers were reflected. They were thin but more flexible, especially the unyielding spirit in their bodies was really admirable. After falling down during the climbing process, they did not say a word, and would rather die than speak.
Twenty minutes later, two attacking platoons rushed up and took weapons to kill more than 20 Indian soldiers and two British officials on the mountain.
After the 80th peak was captured, Li Shucheng transferred the cannon to the top of the mountain and blasted another cannon at the pass and other peaks.
In the dark night, the Indian soldiers soon collapsed, and they all retreated while firing. Several British officials took their weapons and shouted: "The Chinese cannot beat us!"
But this time the Indian soldiers did not listen to the officers anymore and ran backwards.
During the artillery fire, the Zhong** team immediately stopped the artillery and fire. Cao Lucao, the battalion commander of the 259th Regiment, yelled: "The British are defeated! Kill!" He rushed over first, and more than 4,600 people from the two regiments shouted "kill" at the same time, which scared several Indian soldiers who were holding their feet immediately turned around and ran away.
In the dark night, everyone didn't know where to go, and they ran to the Chinese.
These Indians are very easy to identify because they always use white cloth to wrap their heads into big bags. As long as they see white shadows, they must be Indians.
