In December 1942, what worried the US, British and French allies, but which would happen sooner or later, finally inevitably happened:
The Chinese ** team enters Africa!
Although there is only one regiment of troops, this means that China has officially intervened in the war between European and American countries. ^//^
The world war has escalated again with China¡¯s full involvement.
Germany and Italy cheered for this.
This is something they have been waiting for for a long time, which means that they are still waiting for China's comprehensive reinforcements!
And this force that was the first to enter the Manimu region of Africa was commanded by Wang Ding, the son of President Wang Hengyue of the Republic of China.
The Germans are no stranger to Wang Ding. This young officer who once created miracles in Belgrade may create another legend on the African continent.
Wang Ding, who had just arrived in Africa, did not have time to rest before he received the task assigned to him by General Rommel:
A company of his troops penetrated behind the British, reconnoitring intelligence while looking for opportunities to deliver an offensive blow to the British.
8th company.
This time, the 8th Company walked a less traveled mountain road.
It is said to be a road, but in fact it is not a road at all. There is a steep hillside above, and a towering cliff below. There is only about a foot of narrow path that can accommodate your feet. The rain washed away the gravel on the path, and the path gradually turned into a slope, making it extremely smooth for your feet.
In order to prevent the enemy from penetrating into their rear, the British army not only laid a large number of mines on various roads, but also planted a large number of bamboo sticks at the foot of mountains, grass, shrubs, etc. Whether you are rolling down the mountain or stepping up from the ground, once you step on a bamboo stick, your feet will be stung with blood.
China, which had already taken precautions against this, had already produced a batch of stab-resistant shoes with steel plates before Wang Ding and his troops went abroad to fight, and followed them to Africa.
Before departure, the commander of the 8th company, Bai Yanchao, ordered everyone to put on shoes with steel plates. Wearing these shoes makes walking a little harder, but when you step into the grass, you feel less worried.
But as soon as we set foot on this mountain road, big trouble came. Due to the steel plate, the softness of the sole is almost gone. The anti-slip function is extremely weak. Although the soldiers walked carefully and supported each other, almost walking like three-inch golden lotus steps, many people still fell.
Sometimes it¡¯s not enough to go down alone, and you have to pull up one or two people around you. The team was made to scream in surprise.
Fortunately, these people who fell could always climb up from below shortly after falling. You can see how thick the wormwood is at the foot of the mountain. On the other hand, our soldiers are fully equipped with the experience of rolling down the hillside. When landing, you must not stretch your limbs, but curl up into a ball with your back first.
"If the British army knew that our army was passing through this area, they would really regret it. Why did you neglect to bury bamboo sticks in this area?
The 8th Company walked about five or six kilometers on such a mountain road in one go. Although the journey was not long, it took too long.
Bai Yanchao was so anxious in front that he kept urging those behind him to speed up the pace.
They were desperate, but the mountain road did not obey Bai Yanchao's command, and the soldiers still made their way stumbling and stopping.
Due to the particularity of the mission that Bai Yanchao led this reinforced company to complete, it was necessary to
When marching quickly on steep mountain roads, the infantry is okay, but the artillery will have difficulty.
An ammunition hand has to carry four rounds of artillery shells on his back, plus his own guns, ammunition and personal equipment. The total weight of the supplies he carries is almost 200 kilograms. Even if he wants to walk fast, he can't walk fast.
Seeing that it was getting dark again, the vanguard had to stop when they came out of the mountain and wait for the follow-up personnel to arrive one after another.
At this time, Bai Yanchao used his telescope to discover the junction between the mountain trail and the main road, and ordered Class 2 to be the sharp knife squad to go out and occupy the main road to act as a guard!
Gu Yuanyi, squad leader of Class 2, led Class 4 on a run to the intersection. As soon as everyone was arranged, I looked up and found that the road turned again not far away.
In order to find out the situation and just in case, we have to send people over to conduct reconnaissance.
"Cai Huachen, take your team and watch the situation on the other side of the road" Gu Yuanyu assigned Cai Huachen a task.
Cai Huachen agreed and took Zhou Zhen and another soldier to run towards the front of the road.
When I ran around the corner, I saw that the road was empty and there was nothing. So Cai Huachen sent another soldier back to report the situation to Gu Yuanyi, who then passed the situation on to Bai Yanchao.
Bai Yanchao is hereZhen was shouting and ran over following the sound, scolding him as soon as he came up.
"Why are you still here?"
"We are waiting for you."
Zhou Zhen and Jiang Duofu didn't take a few steps before they realized something was wrong. As members of the same combat team, how can we leave the team leader alone? So the two stopped and prepared to go back to help Cai Huachen.
At this moment, the shouts from the bottom of the mountain were getting closer and closer, bullets were flying, and several flashlights flashed over.
Zhou Zhen said to Jiang Duofu: "Let's not go over there. We will meet the team leader here."
So the two of them laid an ambush behind the tree, waiting for Cai Huachen to come over. Seeing Cai Huachen jumping around and running away, Zhou Zhen called Cai Huachen from behind the tree.
"Don't be here anymore, get out quickly." Cai Huachen ducked and ran forward.
As soon as Zhou Zhen got up, he saw several figures running towards him, so he raised his gun and shot
"Da da da!"
As soon as the gunshot rang out, the person on the opposite side fell down, and then returned the bullet.
¡°You¡¯re so damn stupid, aren¡¯t you reporting to the enemy?¡± Cai Huachen turned around and cursed, ¡°Run away quickly.¡±
The three of them didn¡¯t care how they fought behind them, they kept their heads down and bent over, but they kept running forward.
The enemy chasing Cai Huachen and the others was a platoon of British troops stationed here.
After the war started, the enemy reached the point where all the people were in the army, ready for war at all times, and everyone was on alert.
So when gunfire rang out on the mountain, the British platoon reacted very quickly. Almost the entire platoon mobilized and quickly outflanked the place from three directions.
The first ones to rush over were the enemies who came up directly from the mountain. The other two groups had already jumped up the mountain.
This enemy does not know how many troops we have. Cai Huachen didn't know how many enemies were chasing them.
No one on either side cares about the other. Anyway, if you have to run, you have to run. What needs to be chased should still be chased.
Cai Huachen's three-person team ran forward as hard as they could, in a panic. As I was running, I suddenly found that the mountain had reached the end.
At the bottom of the mountain is a short slope, and below the short slope is a large piece of empty flat land. Only by crossing this short slope and then crossing the flat land can we reach another mountain.
Going deep into the enemy's hinterland, Cai Huachen didn't want to walk in an open area without cover. Even if it was very smooth and 100% smooth, he would not take the risk. Who knows if the enemy is doing anything here.
But now I can¡¯t leave if I don¡¯t want to. If I want to go back again, there¡¯s no way.
The enemies pressing down from the ridge and mountainside are about to arrive. There were bursts of gunfire, bullets flying, and loud shouts.
"Look at Zhou Zhen, the troublemaker. How could this happen if he didn't shoot?" However, Zhou Zhen was right to shoot. If the prisoner is not killed, he may be exposed to even greater trouble when he runs back to the village. The entire 8th company, and even the plan for a battle will be thoroughly explained by him.
Why! Just die! Expose it! Expose it! The worst case scenario is that everything will be fought to the death.
When Cai Huachen thought about it, he had nothing to complain about. He glanced back at his two comrades who were following closely behind him. He thought to himself: "It's a pity that it doesn't matter if I die, you two will also be affected!"
