Chapter 507: Change of identity (first update, please subscribe)
Pursuit!
After defeating the Indian army's attack on the left wing ten days ago, the blocking battle turned into a pursuit battle, chasing them all the way.
Now it has even penetrated into Indian territory. The Indian army retreated all the way.
The core of pursuit operations is not to chase, but to intercept from the side and behind.
In order to get ahead of the Indians, Tengtian and the others marched for dozens of kilometers in a car. It was not until the sunset that they came to a rice field. Birds in the rice fields were chirping and flying in the sky. You can also see some Indian women with fair skin looking at them from a distance, and there are some children next to them.
Such a peaceful and peaceful scenery will soon be broken by the sound of artillery and torn apart by artillery shells!
The sunset has completely set, and the stars are shining brightly.
"The troops are deployed concealed in the fields. Everyone should be careful of the poisonous snakes in the fields. If you are bitten, it will be over."
Battal Commander Komatsu said this, and then stepped in fields.
"All troops prepare to fight!"
Fight!
As soon as the order was given, Tengtian forgot about fatigue and pain like everyone else, and suddenly became nervous.
"Hurry up, prepare to fight!"
They went directly into the fields on both sides of the road. There were only a few sparse trees on the roadside, and the visibility was good. It is a very suitable place to set up an ambush
After taking off their backpacks, they immediately began digging foxholes in the rice fields.
"The Ninth Regiment is attacking from the front. The enemies will definitely flee to our side. We must try our best to kill them!"
Battal Commander Komatsu gave everyone a brief introduction to the battlefield. Condition.
Although there are tens of thousands of enemy troops retreating, such pursuit and blocking will make the enemy troops exhausted and eventually fall into a complete collapse, whether in China or Southeast Asia. They have launched similar attacks time and time again.
This is their best style of play.
The night went on, but nothing happened.
Soon, it was dawn, but there was still nothing unusual. The only exception is that a few guys were bitten by cobras last night, and two of them died.
But compared to this, they are more concerned about when the Indians will come.
Did those Indians get the information and escape by other routes?
The birds chirped again at dawn. Teng Tian came out of the trench. Like everyone else, he opened the can and filled his stomach with lunch meat. While eating the lunch meat, Teng Tian thought about the lunch meat he had eaten in Japan, which was the occupation army camp. The leftovers thrown in include luncheon meat, rice, and vegetables. The slop mixed with cassava can be stewed into a delicious pot.
"I never thought that one day we would be able to eat boxes of luncheon meat!"
"Yes, there are also Nanyang camels. We can actually eat Nanyang camels in packs..."
While everyone was sighing and lighting cigarettes, fierce gunshots and cannon fire rang out in the distance, and the silence of the early morning was broken.
“Haha, the pursuit troops must have gotten involved with them.”
They were still smoking cigarettes easily, and the pursuit troops were sucking in the defeated troops like magnets, driving them into their pockets. Before the enemy entered this pocket, they were extremely leisurely.
The sun has fully risen, and the sound of gunfire has not stopped, but has become more intense.
“I saw the army!”
Suddenly such a cry came from a distance.
"What? Where is it?"
Battalion Commander Komatsu asked Lieutenant Yamashita who discovered the situation.
"Northeast! They are walking swaggering towards us along the road. We can't tell whether they are friends or foes."
Second Lieutenant Yamashita said while holding the telescope tightly to observe.
"Is it the enemy? To the northeast, that's the territory of the Indian army!" "It should be, but it's just a rout! It's four columns, maybe reinforcements of the Indian army."
"Wait for them to get close. Everyone needs to take cover. Light machine gun, load the bullet! Call for heavy machine gun."
Komatsu's voice was very stern, and the soldiers all picked up their rifles one after another.
The MG42 general machine gun was also placed in the field. Soon they were fully prepared to concentrate fire, waiting for the enemy to approach. The mighty four-column marched majestically on the road, including several M4 medium tanks and M3 light tanks, all of which were US aid supplies during World War II.
"It's an enemy, it's really an enemy! Do it well!"
Xiao Song's voice was trembling with excitement.
"Call the "Magic Dragon" immediately, we can't defeat this army."
"Do you want to shoot?"
"No, wait. Get closer, wait until they come in front of you, and then shoot together. Listen! Wait for my order."
Suppress Unable to control the excitement in his heart, Xiaosong's words were a little exciting.
I don’t know that there is an ambush of Indian troops ahead, but they are still marching forward.
Everyone was lying tightly on the ground, holding their guns firmly, and in a pleasant and tense atmosphere, they watched the enemy who was gradually approaching without knowing that death was coming.
The Indian troops gradually grew larger in people's sight, with the distance from three thousand meters to two thousand meters to eight hundred meters, five hundred meters...one hundred meters.
"Iron cannon... fight!"
Accompanied by the order of Battalion Commander Komatsu.
A storm-like salvo broke out instantly, and bullets were fired at the enemy like a mountain.
In the dense rain of bullets, this team of thousands of people suddenly fell into chaos and shouting. While the mortars roared down, the anti-tank man carrying the Gustav M1 recoilless rifle had already aimed at the tank and fired shells. Under the attack of the recoilless rifle, those tanks were very It was soon turned into scrap metal,
Seeing that the enemy fell to pieces, the marching column was in pieces, and the Indian soldiers who lost their command immediately fled in all directions, but the bullets around them still refused to give up chasing the fleeing enemy troops.
The machine gunner operating the MG42 machine gun fired without interruption. The sub-shooters kept pouring water on the hot gun body. The machine gun that continuously fired like the scythe of death roared like a chainsaw.
The Indian troops who encountered the ambush hardly put up much resistance and fell into complete chaos. They scurried back and forth on the battlefield like headless flies, and then were sent to the west by dense bullets.
At this moment, three C47 aircraft flew in from the sky. After they entered the battlefield, they immediately tilted their fuselage and hovered at low altitude. Suddenly, they were accompanied by red tracer ballistics, and the dense rain of bullets was like Raindrops fell from the sky.
This is a C47 gunship!
This gunship is unique to Nanyang. It is equipped with three 7.62mm six-barreled Gatling cannons, which fire through the two rear windows and the cargo door on the side. All weapons are installed on the left side of the aircraft.
When providing close air support to ground troops, it can fly around the target for several hours, suppress ground troops with fire, and can also launch illumination bombs. It was originally developed to combat the Japanese army, but as soon as it was successfully developed, the war ended.
Now there are only six gunships that have become the equipment of the Black Knight Company. One night a few days ago, when it went on the battlefield for the first time, it won the title of "Magic Dragon". That night, Black Knight The knights witnessed it pouring ammunition into the Indian army. The Gatling gun's ammunition supply system clips one tracer bullet for every five bullets, which means it fires 20 tracer bullets per second. The spectacular visual effect formed by the red tracer trajectory is called the dragon's breath, mixed with the roar of the machine gun. The roar of the plane echoed in the night sky, sounding like the roar of a dragon.
That night they fired more than 200,000 rounds of ammunition, killing more than 400 Indian soldiers and injuring thousands more.
It was from that day on that "Magic Dragon" and "Thunderstorm" became the most deadly stars in this war.
Although the sight of the "Magic Dragon" attacking during the day was ordinary, the dense bullets still caused waves of dust on the ground. Thousands of Indian soldiers fell in the dust, and a rain of bullets fell from the sky, covering everyone. in it.
Ten minutes later, the battle finally ended as groups of Indian soldiers raised their hands and surrendered.
Except for a few Indian soldiers who escaped in vehicles or tanks, most of the Indian soldiers stayed here, either as corpses or as prisoners. Several soldiers walking in front stepped forward and were about to stab the fallen enemy soldier to death when they were stopped by the officer.
"Baga, do you want to prevent all of us from getting bonuses?"
The act of killing prisoners on the battlefield not only fails to get bonuses, but may also lead to legal consequences. No one else can get the bonus, so other people will take the initiative to stop such behavior on the field. After all, it is related to their small money.
After the battle, enemy corpses were strewn on the battlefield, and the ground was stained red with blood.
