Chapter 382: Three people take down an entire battalion?

Stilwell lived a very comfortable life during this period.

There were even rumors that he would be promoted to commander of the Southeast Asia Theater.

So his days are very leisurely.

In addition, good news from the Nanyang Task Force continued to arrive.

It made him feel that the day when he would become the commander of the Southeast Asia Theater was not far away.

The result was that while he was having a great time, Admiral Wavell was having a hard time.

The moment he received the call, Stilwell's good mood disappeared instantly.

"What did you say? A group of indigenous Afghan rebels went south to attack India? They have occupied a large area of ​​territory?" Stilwell looked incredulous.

Didn’t they say before that they had stopped the Japanese attack?
Why are there rebels heading south again?

"Yes, Sir Stilwell, we need support." Admiral Wavell no longer had his previous arrogance, and his tone was very humble.

There is no need to explain the importance of Tianzhu, and both of them know it.

If the British Empire lost India, it would probably really decline.

Not only that, there were also problems in Persia.

You know, this is an important source of oil for the British Empire.

If we lose these two places, we will be really doomed.

More importantly, Germany and Italy are now discovering a large amount of oil in Libya, which is not good news.

Even Stilwell judged that the war might continue for a long time.

Because having the oil fields means they can continue to persevere.

For the Allied forces, what will happen next is probably endless attrition.

"Admiral Wavell, I'm afraid I am unable to support you. The war in Southeast Asia is at a critical juncture and we have no time to take care of other things. You can send a telegram to your Prime Minister Churchill and ask him to send reinforcements." Stilwell refused directly.

Are you kidding? He has a bright future ahead of him and he even wants to become a four-star general.

Asking him to withdraw reinforcements to India now, isn't that a joke?
There was no way he would agree to such a thing.

No need to think about it.

Hearing this, Admiral Wavell couldn't help but sigh. He also knew that there was little hope of sending reinforcements.

But he still wanted to try, maybe it would work?
"General Stilwell, you are the only one who can send reinforcements as quickly as possible right now," Admiral Wavell said again.

Who knows, Stilwell remained unmoved.

Are you kidding? He also holds a grudge.

The last time, the British army also caused him a lot of trouble.

How could I forget now?

"General Stilwell, we are in a very difficult situation now. If we lose India, I can't guarantee that Prime Minister Churchill will not choose to surrender." Admiral Wavell thought for a while and said again.

Hearing this, General Stilwell frowned slightly. This was a threat to him.

He didn't know much about Churchill, but Stilwell knew that the other side would never surrender easily.

If they really wanted to surrender, they would have done so long ago.

Why wait until now?

But since the other party said so, he had to express his opinion.

"I will urge the Chinese Expeditionary Force to increase its offensive strength. As for the rest, I really can't help. I suggest that you can report these issues to Downing Street. Maybe they will ask those people in the White House to send reinforcements." Stilwell thought for a moment and reminded him.

Now the focus of the US military has shifted to Europe. If reinforcements can be transferred from Europe, it will obviously be closer.

Sure enough, Admiral Wavell's eyes lit up when he heard this.

Yes!

The US military can send reinforcements.

In fact, the US military was also very troubled at this time.

Not only the British army needs assistance, but Australia is also seeking assistance.

Because the territory occupied by the Japanese army is getting larger and larger, and they are constantly increasing their troops and immigration.

It looks like they are going to move to Australia completely.

This made the Australian army completely panic, and they had no choice but to ask the US military for help.

…………

On the other side, Du Yuming received Stilwell's telegram without any surprise. With the resumption of aid, Du Yuming's 100,000 expeditionary forces also received supplies.

From the moment he received the supplies, he knew that the time to march westward was not far away.

After all, we have delayed for so long, we should have set off a long time ago.

"Let Yu Xiaoqing speed up the attack, and the rest of the troops should pack up their equipment and move out immediately." Du Yuming immediately gave the order.

"Yes."

After receiving the order, Yu Xiaoqing immediately sent out the vanguard to investigate the movements of the Japanese army.

However, due to logistical supply issues, Yu Xiaoqing did not ask them to speed up the pace of attack, but instead proceeded steadily.

There's no way, he suffered a great loss, so now he has become very steady.

Unless you can win with one strike, it is absolutely very stable.

So much so that many people feel unfamiliar with Yu Xiaoqing.

Because this was simply an unbelievable thing for Yu Xiaoqing before.

"Lao Wang, are we lost?" In a dense jungle, a scout of the expeditionary force looked at his teammates beside him and said helplessly.

"It seems so. This Tianzhu is too big. Alas..." The scout named Lao Wang sighed.

"Old Li, what should we do now?"

"What else can I do? I just keep going and see if I can run into other people."

"This place is so huge, you'll get lost if you're not careful."

Hearing his comrades' complaints, Lao Wang could only remain silent.

Because what he said makes a lot of sense. It is indeed too big and you will get lost if you are not careful.

And the maps they had were not accurate at all.

How do they investigate this?

The actual place name is completely different from what is on the map.

They followed the map, but they got lost after walking for a while.

"Who?" Just then, Xidou's voice came from the jungle ahead.

The scout who had just finished speaking raised his gun and shouted sternly.

"What's wrong? Lao Li?" Lao Wang asked hurriedly.

"It looks like there's someone here. Shoot immediately if anything goes wrong," Lao Li reminded.

"It's me, from the 7th Regiment's reconnaissance company." Just as he finished speaking, a man came out holding a Springfield rifle and said, "You two, I'm lost. Have you found the main force?" "It's you?" Lao Wang recognized the scout in front of him and said excitedly, "What's wrong? You're lost too."

"Lao Wang, who is he?" Lao Li asked puzzledly.

"My fellow villager, Sun Qi." Lao Wang explained quickly.

"Oh? It's Sun Qi, the one you and I peeked at the widow taking a bath together." Old Li suddenly realized.

Sun Qi's face turned red. This damn fellow villager actually told such an embarrassing thing.

"Damn it, you even said something like that?" Sun Qi glared at him.

"Okay, you haven't told me yet, why are you here? I remember that this shouldn't be the direction of your Seventh Regiment's reconnaissance, right?" Lao Wang asked curiously.

"Oh, don't say anything. I was just squatting in a pit, but there was a heavy fog and I couldn't find the team." Sun Qi was also helpless. He was in a bad mood at the time and was thinking of finding a place to solve the problem quickly and then chase the main force.

As a result, as soon as they squatted down, they encountered heavy fog, and by the time they finished solving the problem, the troops could not be found.

There was no other way, he could only follow the sun and move forward slowly.

I didn't expect to meet my fellow countryman here.

There is no perfect way for everyone.

"Are you also lost?" Sun Qi asked.

"Yeah." Lao Wang said embarrassedly.

"Since everyone is lost, then let's not laugh at the second brother and share any information we have," Lao Li suggested.

"Surname, no problem. When I was scouting just now, I found that there seemed to be an artillery battalion ahead. How about we go and take them down?"

Hearing this, Lao Wang and Lao Li looked at each other, a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes, and looked at Sun Qi: "Really?"

"Of course it's true, but I can't take it down by myself. So I'm thinking of finding a large army to see if I can take them down. Otherwise, how about we do something big?" Sun Qi's eyes were filled with raging fire of war.

If we can destroy the enemy's artillery battalion, it will definitely be a great achievement.

That's why Sun Qi was so excited.

The other two people were naturally very excited to hear the news.

"Just the three of us? Isn't the force too few?" Old Li was still a little worried. After all, it was really too exaggerated for the three of them to take on an entire battalion.

"What are you afraid of? These natives have no will to fight. We can just pretend to be the main force. Besides, this is a battalion. If we really capture them, at least one of the three of us will get a medal, which will bring honor to our family." Sun Qi said excitedly.

Old Wang was also persuaded. He looked at Sun Qi and nodded heavily: "That's right, let's do it."

"Okay, let's do it." Seeing that both people agreed, Lao Li no longer insisted.

Soon, under the leadership of Sun Qi, they arrived at the outskirts of the indigenous artillery camp.

"It's really an artillery battalion. Although there are a large number of people and luxurious equipment, these soldiers have no spirit and discipline." Old Wang could see at a glance that these natives seemed to have no will to fight.

"These people are not here to fight at all. They seem to be here for fun and to collect military merits."

"Then let's go and try it?" Sun Qi was very brave and asked immediately.

It's not that the three of them were arrogant, it's because they simply looked down on the fighting capabilities of these indigenous soldiers.

They are a reconnaissance company, and those who can serve in the reconnaissance company these days are all elite.

Of course, the three of them are not saying that they are gods of war and can wipe out these hundreds of indigenous people. After all, that is nonsense.

Two fists are no match for four hands. If so many natives suddenly attack, they might be the ones in trouble.

"Let's go and do it!" Just do it!
The three of them immediately reached over.

Until they reached the gate of the native army's artillery position, they were not discovered by the enemy's sentries, which made them speechless. They thought that the natives really had no will to fight.

"We are the expeditionary force. You won't be killed if you surrender your weapons!" Sun Qi spoke in broken English while firing wildly at the indigenous soldiers in the distance with his Springfield rifle.

"Kill..." The three men no longer cared and rushed into the indigenous army.

At the same time, he threw the grenade at his waist directly inside.

This scene directly frightened the natives on the opposite side. They had no idea why several expeditionary soldiers appeared here.

"Did the Japanese army lose?" This thought popped into the minds of many indigenous soldiers.

"Shit, the Japanese army on the front line was defeated, retreat..." The performance of the indigenous army that followed was beyond the expectations of the three of them. Basically no one resisted, and they all dropped their guns and ran away, which made Lao Li completely confused.

"This……"

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and kill their headquarters first."

At the command post of the artillery battalion of the indigenous army, a major was leisurely drinking coffee. They were in the rear and it was very safe.

Because he was of a high caste, he was an officer the moment he joined the army.

After making some contribution, he was promoted to major.

This time it is also for gilding, gaining some experience, and then I can reach the next level when I return.

Although these Japanese troops were a bit brutal, they were indeed very generous and promised them very rich conditions.

This is also the reason why these natives immediately defected to the Japanese army after betraying the British army.

"Major, Major, the enemy is coming." Before the native major finished his coffee, a soldier ran over and said breathlessly.

"Nonsense, how is it possible? We are in the rear, there can't be enemies here." The native major was very angry.

"It's true. The enemy has already entered the camp. There are gunshots everywhere. It looks like a battalion, not a regiment..."

"How is this possible? The enemy is clearly still confronting us at the front line, how could they possibly reach here?" The native major still didn't believe it, but the fierce gunfire sounds coming from afar completely stunned him.

"Damn it, why are there gunshots here? How is this possible?"

"Damn it, the Japanese army was defeated..."

"Major, what should we do now? Should we send someone to stop them?"

"Assholes, retreat immediately." The native major didn't even have time to pack his things and chose to run away.

What a joke! It is absolutely impossible for a noble upper caste person to die on a battlefield.

The leaders had all run away, not to mention the soldiers below who had much combat effectiveness. They dropped their weapons and began to flee.

"Lao Wang, something is wrong. Why haven't we had a decent counterattack along the way?" Lao Li muttered. They rushed in and attacked the natives wildly. They thought there would be a counterattack, but in the end, there was not even a decent counterattack. Instead, they started to run away.

"Stop! Hand over your guns and you won't be killed!"

Suddenly, Sun Qi saw a dozen natives running towards the distance and shouted.

As a result, when these dozen natives saw Sun Qi and the other three, they immediately wanted to fight back.

Then I saw Sun Qi throw a grenade directly over.

boom!
An explosion occurred above their heads, taking away a dozen natives.

"You are too fierce," Old Li clicked his lips.

"Humph, not only do these natives refuse to surrender, but they even dare to fight back. They are simply courting death." Sun Qi said proudly.

The rest of the indigenous soldiers were terrified when they saw this scene, especially the shooting skills of the soldier who killed one by one, which frightened them so much that they chose to surrender immediately.

"What should we do with these prisoners?" asked Lao Li.

"Watch over him first, and then find a way to contact the superiors." Lao Wang said as he was about to look for the command center. He wanted to find someone who could send a telegram.

As for the channels of his own radio station, he didn't know.

it's fine!
He can make people generate electricity in clear code!
