Rebirth of the Military Industrial Overlord

Chapter 120: Attack across the river

When Tan Zhenhua heard this, combined with the approximate place names and directions he had learned from his previous life when traveling to Burmese jade, he drew a few strokes on a piece of paper, and asked, "Is this your battlefield situation?"

Xie Li took the piece of paper, looked at it, and praised: "Student Xiao Tan has never been to Burma Yu, and is not familiar with the terrain there, but listening to what I said, he can give an indication of the battlefield situation at the time. It's so clear and not simple. Yes, yes, although the details are a bit misleading, but on the whole, it looks like this"

Tan Zhenhua smiled silently.

This is really too simple. The Chinese Army’s central strategy of interspersed plan is actually not a mystery.

Use two small units with strong combat effectiveness to intersect behind the enemy, one on the left and the other on the right. One of them pretends to mobilize the enemy to make the enemy's defense circle appear flawed in the movement. Contact, form a defensive position, and finally a large force advances and eats the main defensive force of the enemy at a local disadvantage. Nine out of ten military fans he knows in his previous life can easily formulate such a tactic.

It is not unusual for the Burmese Communist Party to be considered a student of Huaxia, who would develop such a tactic.

Xie Li finished reading Tan Zhenhua's picture, put it aside, paused, took another sip of water, and then continued:

"We chose the ferry for our group near Wanxin, upstream of the confluence of the Nantong River and the Salween River. The river is more than 150 meters wide and the flow rate is slow, and there are dense forests and tall grass on both sides, which is conducive to the concealment of the large forces. The ferry is located between two Burmese army strongholds on the west bank. The enemy cannot overlook the river from the top of the mountain. Due to the difficulty of mountain roads, the enemy patrols need to walk about three or four hours to the river. However, the Burmese army is relatively lazy. It doesn't patrol every day, and basically walks out of the stronghold every one or two days.

In this case, if we are fully prepared, have sufficient tools for crossing the river, act quickly, and unexpectedly, the team will be able to sneak across within a day.

The task of investigating has been completed, the next step is to prepare river crossing tools.

In the villages near the east bank, we recruited dozens of Yi tribe sailors. They are all very reliable people. Because the Burmese government promotes great Burmanism and oppresses other ethnic groups very hard, all these people are very Hate the Burmese jade government, it is easy to win support.

At this time, the other troops and brigades of the regiment had arrived, so we made a bamboo raft for crossing the river together.

Burmese jade is famous for its many mountains and forests. The mountains here are full of old moso bamboos with thick thighs. There are many people and quick hands. Simple bamboo rafts are produced immediately, stacked one by one in the forest on the river bank for backup.

However, after dozens of bamboo rafts were made, the brigadezhi brought bad news.

Although the Second Regiment that crossed the river in our upper reaches successfully crossed the Salween River, the enemy had clearly mastered our combat plan and specific action plan, and defended the enemy along the river without moving their troops, focusing on guarding against the main troops led by my previous instructions.

This situation is basically consistent with our judgment based on the investigation results. Therefore, within our brigade, two factions have diametrically opposed opinions.

One faction is more radical and feels that the combat effectiveness of the Burmese army has never been good. Even if the plan has been exposed, it can forcefully cross the river and implement the established tactical plan.

The other faction believes that since the enemy already knows our plan, crossing the river is very dangerous. It is possible that the enemy will wait for us to do this, and then attack halfway. Then we will suffer heavy casualties, even if the enemy allows us to cross the river smoothly. Jiang, we are also caught in the narrow zone between the Salween River and the Nanban River. If there is an ambush on the opposite bank, then we are like sheep entering the tiger’s mouth. At that time, we will be filled with dumplings.

After arguing for a long time, Brigadier Bao couldn't make up his mind. At this time, the military's order came and asked us to carry out the original plan.

Although many people feel that this order is inappropriate, the only thing that soldiers take to execute the order is to pin their heads to their waistbands.

Crossing the river started early the next morning. Because the surface of the Salween River is foggy all year round, it usually disappears until noon. Therefore, crossing the river early in the morning will help improve the concealment of our army.

Brigadier Bao ordered the heavy firepower company to launch a position on the east bank. In fact, the so-called heavy firepower company, that is, several 54-type 12.7 mm heavy machine guns and several 67-type 82mm mortars, we strengthened reconnaissance At the beginning of the row, each unit crossed the river.

In order to ensure the continuous combat capability of the troops without logistical supplies after crossing the river, each soldier needs to carry as much ammunition as possible. At that time, the most basic weapon and ammunition carried by a soldier was: a 56-and-a-half or 56-stroke. 500 bullets, a few grenades, a few land mines, two pieces of "soap"; by the way, you don't understand, "soap" is TNT, because it is yellow, it is made into a square soap size, so we call it " soap bar".

Because it is fully armed, a bamboo raft can only cross the river to reach 4-5 soldiers at a time. Moreover, because there are only dozens of banter sailors who punt the boat, there are no replacements for rest. Smoke, poor physical strength, and often need to stop to get addicted to cigarettes. In this way, the efficiency of crossing the river is very low. The task of crossing the river that was originally scheduled to end in one day has not been completed by noon the next day.

We originally thought that by that time, the enemy hadn't reflected it and it should be basically safe, but the sound of guns at noon the next day completely broke our illusion.

Those who were crossing the river at that time were the last group of people, mainly the girls in the communications team, some confidential and logistics personnel, and the last guard platoon. These people have poor combat effectiveness. The brigade is worried about fighting on the other side of the river, so they arranged to cross the river last.

The Burmese army finally noticed our movements and began to strike. Most of the guns were directed at the bamboo raft crossing the river. I was on the west bank and watched several rafts get shots from shells and heavy machine guns.

Needless to say, the rafts were scattered all at once. People fell into the river and were washed by the river. There were no bones left. Those who were hit by heavy machine gun bullets were even more miserable. Don’t watch the movies in which people can still talk. You have to explain your last words before you close your eyes. In fact, it's all nonsense. The 12.7mm heavy machine gun bullet hit any part of the human body at random, and the person was shattered at once, **** torn apart.

My eyes were red at the time. If you know that Yan Lai is from the communications class, she is still on the raft!

There is no need to think about it. A few comrades in arms and I picked up the guys and ran to the enemy’s position. After we caught fire, we realized that the enemy was not only shrunk in the fortifications to operate heavy weapons, but also sent a company of about 100. People, they don’t get close to us, so they go around our position and put cold guns. Obviously, their purpose is to drag us with a small group of troops, delay our actions, and buy time for their subsequent arrangements.

After repelling the attack, I returned to the river bank, only to see Yan Lai and another girl who ran to Mianyu with blood, kneeling there and crying with headaches. After asking, I found out that their raft was. Fortunately, we were not hit by a shell, but we were hit by a few heavy machine guns. The two girls who ran with us to Myanmar Yu, one of them did not hide, so it was gone, not even a whole body was left. "

At this point, Xie Li was already choked with words, his eyes flushed. Tears slid down uncontrollably. Although the matter had passed for a long time, the pain at that moment obviously made him unforgettable.

He stretched out his hand and wiped his tears, and continued: "When we came, we were 13 people. Only a few days after we got here, one was missing, and the least of them was a big girl like a flower, which made us all Some can’t accept it, but this is war, it’s a **** war. It’s not the same as we chanted slogans to defeat this and defeat the other. In war, there must be sacrifices. Today is this girl, tomorrow it may be the rest of the people’s turn. We finally realized the cruelty of war.

However, all this is just the beginning of the nightmare.

We were forced to cross the river due to the early disclosure of the plan and the unwillingness of the headquarters. Although the sacrifice of crossing the river is not great, but now that the enemy has completely sealed off the river, we will definitely not be able to return in a short time.

The enemy’s positions are all built on the hills, and there are obviously a large number of heavy weapons. We need to attack, and it is very difficult to fight. Even if we can get it down, we will have to pay huge sacrifices. If there is no other way, we have to urgently contact the general manager. The headquarters, the general headquarters ordered us to continue forward and move towards the Nanban River.

At this time, there is actually no better way. Even if it is the Longtan Tiger Den in front of it, it can only be done. The brigade pointed out that they unified their opinions and attacked and advanced in the direction of Nanban River. "
