Chapter 556 Paralysis, sneak attack
556 Paralysis, sneak attack
In the British military camp, many British officers were gathering together to play cards in a relaxed atmosphere.
With the division commander Hannibal taking the lead, one can imagine what the British officers below are like.
Except in the barracks, where you are not allowed to drink alcohol.
These British officers have many other ways to entertain themselves.
They had no idea that at this moment, a group of fierce elite Japanese soldiers were already approaching them a few hundred meters outside their military camp.
"Fuck, what bad luck."
An old British soldier angrily threw away the poker in his hand and cursed.
“Haha, Peter.
You've lost a month's salary.
Now you don’t even have money to find a woman.”
Someone laughed at the old British soldier.
"Ha ha!"
The other British officers and veterans nearby all laughed.
"Shit, I don't want to play anymore."
"Hey, don't go.
If you have no money, we can lend you some."
"Borrow your ass, I'm on patrol tonight."
Peter made an excuse and left quickly.
Then, Peter left the barracks with a patrol team for routine inspection.
It is called an inspection, but in fact it is just a show to deal with superiors.
Peter, like other British officers, believed that they were safest in Yenangyaung at this time.
Ten minutes later, Peter led his patrol team and met another patrol team outside the military camp.
"Hey!
Is that Chris?
Peter shone his flashlight at a distance.
"it's me!"
A familiar voice came from the other side.
It was the voice of another British squad leader that Peter was familiar with.
The two teams continued to get closer.
At this time, Peter suddenly discovered that the training team that Chris was leading tonight was a bit strange.
But he couldn't tell exactly what was strange about it.
Before Peter could figure it out, the two sides had already gotten close.
At this time, Chris, the British squad leader on the opposite side, finally couldn't help but want to shout for warning.
The next second, a saber pierced his chest.
"Kill them all, leave no one alive!"
A Japanese officer in British military uniform roared from behind Chris's body.
A dozen Japanese soldiers who had been prepared in the back, waving their sabers, rushed towards Peter's British patrol team.
"Enemy attack!"
Peter's face changed drastically and he immediately wanted to draw his gun.
puff!
Unfortunately, his wrist was cut off by a Japanese soldier's saber.
These devils attacked ruthlessly, quickly and accurately. The Indian soldiers behind Peter were all slaughtered before they could even react.
In less than a minute, the entire British patrol team fell down, with no one alive.
The main thing is that they didn't issue any warning.
The British troops in the barracks knew nothing about it.
Soon, the Japanese soldiers, dressed in British military uniforms, swaggered towards the Japanese military camp.
The reason why the Japs went to such great lengths to launch a sneak attack.
Apart from knowing that there is a British division with more than 10,000 men here, more importantly, they have no heavy weapons.
This Japanese regiment that came through the primitive jungle did not have any heavy weapons, not even heavy machine guns.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible for them to get out of that primitive jungle in just three days and three nights.
The Japanese commander Miki Yoshinosuke also knew that with just their 3,000 men and the Type 38 rifles in their hands, they would be defeated.
If we want to launch a surprise attack and kill the British division stationed in Yenangyaung, it will be a very difficult task and we must be careful.
So they made a detailed sneak attack plan.
The first step was to send some of the Japanese elite troops to sneak into the British military camp in batches to carry out a decapitation operation.
Then, they coordinated with the main force of the Japanese army outside to launch an attack.
And now, the devil's plan seems to be very successful.
It went much more smoothly than they had expected.
The British army's complacency became their best help.
At around eleven o'clock, gunshots suddenly rang out in the British military camp, and soon it seemed as if a chain reaction had occurred.
There was gunfire everywhere.
Boom boom boom!
"Kill him!"
One after another, the Japanese assault teams quickly broke into the British military camp.
At this time, many Indian soldiers in the military camp had just turned off the lights and went to sleep.
The sudden sound of gunfire woke them up.
They didn't even have time to put on their clothes before they rushed out of the barracks with their guns.
As a result, what we saw was that the Japanese invaders coming from all directions made these Indian soldiers in chaos.
They couldn't find their superior officers, the British officers.
Because these British officers would not sleep with these Indian soldiers.
These British officers all had their own sleeping rooms, but now they have been wiped out by the Japanese.
The Indian soldiers who lost their command, no matter how many there were, faced the Japanese assault teams who were well prepared and attacking in an orderly manner.
After many people were killed, they all raised their spears out of habit.
Surrender!
"Quick, use artillery to bombard the British military airport and don't let their fighter planes escape."
The Japanese regiment commander gave orders excitedly.
Tonight's sneak attack was so smooth that it was unbelievable.
Seeing that the situation in the British camp was already decided, Miki Yoshinosuke immediately ordered his Japanese soldiers to use the captured British artillery.
Bombard the British military airport more than ten miles away.
During this period, the British air force that took off from Yenangyaung provided great help to the hundreds of thousands of British troops on the front line.
The reason why the British troops defending the second line of defense were able to withstand the crazy attack of the Japanese 25th Army.
They relied entirely on the fierce firepower provided by the three artillery divisions and the British Air Force.
Without this firepower, the hundreds of thousands of British troops might not be a match for the Japanese 25th Army.
Boom boom boom!
Soon, the artillery of the British military camp fired shells at the British airport, destroying nearly 100 fighter planes of the British Air Force.
Ye Qingshan didn't sleep that night.
After all, tonight's early morning is when the expeditionary force will begin its general offensive to encircle and annihilate the Japanese 15th Army.
This order must be issued by him personally.
Ye Qingshan was also very excited at this moment.
It was almost twelve o'clock.
All units of the expeditionary force are ready and are waiting for Ye Qingshan's order.
As a result, Luo Zhuoying rushed into the headquarters and shouted to Ye Qingshan anxiously, "Commander, something big has happened."
"Ok?"
Ye Qingshan looked at Luo Zhuoying in confusion, and had a bad feeling in his heart.
Something that could make Chief of Staff Luo Zhuoying so frightened must not be a trivial matter.
Luo Zhuoying came up to Ye Qingshan, holding up a telegram in his hand, and said to Ye Qingshan: "An urgent telegram just sent from the British military airport in Yenangyaung.
The Japanese attacked the British military camp in Yenangyaung at night and bombarded the British airport.
The battle is not over yet.
We are temporarily unable to contact Hannibal, the commander of the 12th British Division stationed in Yenangyaung.
The specific battle situation is unknown.”
Ye Qingshan snatched the telegram from Luo Zhuoying's hand and scanned the contents with just a glance.
boom!
Then, Ye Qingshan slammed the telegram hard on the table.
Ye Qingshan's face looked very ugly, and he no longer had the joy he had just had.
