Chapter 24 Siege? Aid?
The Dahan Mountain Fortress Group was carefully constructed by the British and stationed with an extremely strong base of 2,000 British troops, barbed wire, mines, solid fortifications, and the main peak position at an altitude of 2,185 meters. It was described by the British as "an angry stinger" and predicted with great confidence that if the National Liberation Army wants to conquer this place, it will definitely suffer an extremely heavy blow.
"The British are very imaginative." Wu Ming pursed his lips gently, his smile flashed on his face, and said seriously: "Although the impression that our army's offensive gave the outside world was to open up the connection between the two bases, for a strong fortress like Dahan Mountain, our army is not prepared to attack with the lack of heavy artillery. I will never allow all commanders to use the warriors and his flesh and blood to make unnecessary attacks with the fanaticism of martyrdom. Now is not the time for you to show your dedication to the fanaticism, even if this move can keep your name for eternity."
After seeing Wu Ming's gesture, Chief of Staff Liu Haotian added: "The siege is more false than real, and attacking aid is our ultimate goal. Mobilize the British troops one by one, let them climb out of the turtle shell in the heavy rain, and we try our best to eliminate them in the wild. This is a major battle of the whole country. All detachments and guerrilla squads have received orders to actively carry out feints to cooperate with the operation of the central base."
"The tasks of each unit have been explained clearly. When our army's overall strength is slightly insufficient, I hope that officers and soldiers at all levels will play a spirit of continuous combat, not afraid of hardship or fatigue." Wu Ming said in a deep voice: "Using quick action to make up for the shortcomings of our army's military strength will inevitably require officers and soldiers to work harder, especially in the case of inconvenience in the rainy season. The mobilization order has been issued long ago. If the overall situation is affected by slow movement at that time, I have no other ability, and I still have the ability to kill Ma Su with tears."
"The British insist on a stubborn position. If we can't get things on the negotiating table, we can get them on the battlefield!" Wu Ming waved his hand coldly, "The plan is just a piece of paper. The General Staff and I will temporarily change the situation according to the actual situation. I hope everyone will be mentally prepared. In more than two months, the rainy season will be over, and time will be gone. If we cannot form a favorable strategic situation at the end of the rainy season, the supply of food and food will become tense. If we are not defeated by the British, we will be hungry and lying down."
"I know my own affairs. Everyone should have a full understanding of our harsh situation. Although in the eyes of the outside world, we have always had a little advantage in the competition with the British." Wu Ming continued: "The influx of a large number of people can no longer meet the needs of the land we planted in the jungle and the capture of our battle. This battle is not only about eliminating the enemy's living forces, but also about expanding the living space. Without a relatively relaxed environment, how can we spend a long time with the British?"
"It is more important for us to be brave, tenacious, and ready to die. In this battle, it is more important that our army's excellent qualities and completely defeat the enemy's courage and fighting spirit psychologically. I have invited several brave war correspondents to follow the troops and show the cruelty of the war. Our army's courage is in front of the whole world, especially the British. Let them understand that even using atomic bombs cannot stop our determination and efforts to win." Wu Ming stood up suddenly and waved his hand imposingly, pushing the atmosphere to a climax.
"Brave, tenacious, and ready to die." All the commanders and soldiers stood up, waved their fists and shouted slogans.
The weather conditions were even worse, with lead-gray sky, pouring rain and muddy flowing everywhere. On July 28, the National People's Liberation Army, which had secretly reached its designated location, suddenly launched a fierce attack on Cameron. The sound of artillery was wrapped in rumbling landmines, which shocked the British troops stationed. They did not expect that the National People's Liberation Army could use amazing ability to deploy heavy weapons to steep, muddy jungle paths, and camouflaged them in a clever way of binding treetops, and even used human power to haul the artillery to the slopes near the front. The National People's Liberation Army dug bunkers to conceal the artillery, so that it could carry out direct aiming and shooting at the weak points of the British positions, especially the key British institutions.
On this day, the National People's Liberation Army's artillery fire continued and the surprise attacks achieved significant results. The artillery fire concentrated on the British local artillery positions and at the same time hit the center of the entire camp. Major Pego, who was commanding the battle, died because he was shot in the command post. Then, Colonel Gosher, the commander of the central fan-shaped defensive position, was killed. At 5:30 pm, the brave and tenacious National People's Liberation Army launched an attack on the Tris stronghold in Cameron with a scattered force. They were muddy all over the ground.
, shouting at the barrage that followed and extended, without fear of being killed or injured by the bomb, and rushed toward the barbed wire that had been torn through countless gaps. The fall of his companions could not affect their fierce offensive at all. By midnight, all the British troops in the Tris stronghold were wiped out, and the stronghold fell into the hands of the National People's Liberation Army. The Tris stronghold was a weak stronghold in Cameron's entire defense system. Its loss meant that other strongholds in Cameron were under the direct attack of the National People's Liberation Army's firepower.
On the same day, under the command of Liu Cheng, the East Coast Detachment launched an attack on Lan Zhang, which initially caused the attack situation of the two armies advancing together and joining Dahanshan. In the whole of Malaya, the armed forces of various national PLAs began military operations at the same time. Although most of them were attacking and harassment, it caused frequent alarms in the British command, making it impossible for them to judge the focus of the attack of the National PLAs within half a day.
Under the sudden and fierce attack of the National People's Liberation Army, Cameron's defenders were passive at the beginning of the war and frequently rushed to the British Command of Malaya. In addition, Lan Zhang was also attacked violently, which finally made the British Command make a judgment and urgently ordered the Sixth Armored Brigade of the Imperial Army stationed in Guaralippi to reinforce in the rain. Many British staff members believed that if Cameron's defenders could stick to the main force of the National People's Liberation Army that had finally assembled and did not fight guerrillas, it would be very likely that the National People's Liberation Army would be severely damaged by the attack of the powerful Sixth Armored Brigade, thereby changing the situation in the entire Malaya.
