Chapter 29: The defeat is like a mountain

The National People's Liberation Army's rushing group did not divide its troops to defend the town, but adopted a strategy of rapid advancement, interspersing in depth, cooperating with each other, and circling around. This made the British army, who wanted to resist the delayed time, be at a loss. If they ran slowly, they might be surrounded and wiped out. Who would dare to stay in place? In addition, the large number of infiltration teams of three or five people sent, regardless of the situation, kept drilling forward, and when they saw the enemy, they would shoot and bury landmines to harass. Just when the British command was undecided, with several British foreign troops taking the lead in escape, the British troops north of the Kelantan River began to retreat one after another, and the British police and security forces in the town also fled in panic.

The establishment was chaotic and full of panic on his face. The defeat and escape were irreversible. The British no longer had the courage to stay. The broken-up and damaged vehicles could be seen everywhere on both sides of the road. Without the car, they could walk. In the heavy rain, they stepped on the mud, headed east, east, and then east, and fled to the beach.

From time to time in the woods on the roadside, the National People's Liberation Army infiltration teams hit car drivers, officers, and military policemen with bullets. Every time they were attacked, it caused chaos.

In the terrible rainy season of the subtropical region, thunderstorms enjoyed raging and showed its power! In the mud of storms, the thunderstorms were like the sound of artillery fire, and the downpour of rain and projectiles hit them like black clouds. Where did the fleeing British troops look for bamboo buildings to hide from the wind and rain? At night, they could only lie in the mud. Many people did not get up after lying down. Not only was his fellow travelers unable to bury him or not, but later members took off their military boots without hesitation. At the same time, they pulled off his ragged clothes for foot wraps, and people kept falling down along the way. Those people who fell from all over the world prayed that God would rule the world and let them suffer less of the trekking.

"It should be said that this is a tragic journey!" Captain John of the British army later said to reporters: "It is difficult to conquer the defeated troops. The two battalions in New Zealand and East Africa retreated without fighting, which allowed the National Liberation Army to quickly break through our defense line, just like an avalanche, panic and failure spread. At that time, the soldiers had lost the battle and were only thinking about escaping. If the officers forced them to stay and block the attack, they would mostly get black guns when they turned around."

"So do you think if the soldiers remain strong in fighting, they can stop the offensive of the National People's Liberation Army?" asked the reporter.

"At least it won't be so miserable." Captain John thought for a while and replied: "The National Liberation Army is also fighting long distances, with very few heavy weapons. We have more than 50,000 police and security forces north of the Kelantan River. If we defend one by one, they may have difficulties in defeating us one by one, and time will not be allowed. But we were still defeated, so it is meaningless to say these now. It is undeniable that the National Liberation Army is planning this battle organization and very clever. Moreover, the spirit of their soldiers is more commendable, perhaps because they have a great goal in their hearts and become extremely brave and tenacious! "This war is meaningless to the British soldiers, or it has a very different meaning, that is, there is no loss of nothing, only life. Do you understand that this is the case?"

"Yes, I agree with this statement. Warriors do not need war. They need not territorial wealth but honor." John nodded. "When British soldiers have lost their sense of honor, how can they expect foreign soldiers to throw blood and life? We may have an idea at that time to leave this damn war, this damn jungle, the damn rainy season, and return to Britain to reunite with our loved ones as soon as possible. This idea has been secretly encouraging me, allowing me to conquer fatigue, jungle, heat and humidity, and attacks that are beyond defense, and most importantly, conquer our own weakness and disappointment."

"Disappointed, I don't understand the meaning of this word, can you explain it?"

"How to say it? Disappointment with the government, disappointment with the headquarters, and disappointment with foreign soldiers should be the sentiment of various disappointments. The government and the politicians knew that they would give Malaya autonomy or independence sooner or later, but they still greedily wanted to squeeze out a while, and let the blood of British soldiers flow meaninglessly; the military plans formulated by the bastards who squatted high in the staff are nonsense, if you really know what jungle war is

You have to experience it yourself! They are arrogant at the beginning, and are timid after being frustrated. They always talk on paper, plan operations according to imagination, provide some unreliable data for the decision-making of the General Staff, and make the government and commanders make wrong decisions, and think they are extremely smart. So I really hope that these self-proclaimed strategists will suffer in the jungle, lose their arms and broken legs, and so that their heads will be clear."

The rapid changes in the war not only caught the British off guard, but also made the General Staff of the National People's Liberation Army a little unexpected.

"I didn't expect that the progress was so fast, and the British army no longer had the fighting spirit. It seems that we are expected to win." Chief of Staff Liu Haotian held the telegram from the front line in his hand, his face full of joy, and the others also looked the same.

"Avalanche?" Wu Ming looked at the staff officer marking the progress of the troops on the sand table with a small flag, and nodded, "The army was defeated like a mountain. I didn't expect that such a situation would happen."

"Do you want to increase your troops? Make victory come faster. The rainy season is about to end." Liu Haotian suggested.

Wu Ming stared at the sand table and didn't speak for a long time. After thinking, he raised his head and asked, "If you were the British commander, how should you deal with such a situation?"

"Me?" Liu Haotian was stunned for a moment, stared at the sand table for a while, and tried to calm himself down. "I can increase troops from the sea. Although according to the information, there are no warships stationed in Malaya at present, he can recruit merchant ships and civilian ships, land from Kota Balu, or go up the Kelantan River and arrive directly at Guaraji. However, this takes time. Whether it is gathering troops or recruiting ships, it cannot be completed in a few days. Or, I can transfer troops from Dahan Mountain to directly take Guaraji. This is the fastest way." After saying that, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Wu Ming, "This has to be guarded. After Cameron was captured, the British army successively increased troops from Dahan Mountain. At present, there should be five or six thousand people. Two or three thousand can be drawn out." One person's anti-Japanese war, Longteng Nanyang, Chapter 29, defeated like a mountain. The defeat of the mountain should be like a mountain.
Chapter completed!
