: Run away only when you see a ghost, India is brave! (Please subscribe, please vote)

When the Indian infantry of the British Empire began to bravely launch a reverse charge with their backs to the artillery fire, Saigo, the Japs of the Aizu Domain, had stopped charging. It was not because they were afraid of death that they dared not charge, but because they were blocked by a barbed wire fence.

.

It has to be said that these Indian infantrymen who charged against the enemy were very good at digging trenches, repairing fortifications, pulling barbed wire and laying landmines. Moreover, William, the first emperor of India, was also willing to spend money and gave a lot to the British and Indian soldiers in Malaya.

Good thing, and Penang Island is a defense focus of the Indian Empire in Malaya.

According to the plan, once the Indian Grand Fleet is defeated in the Strait of Malacca and the shipping of Temasek and Malacca City is blocked, Penang Island will become the most important lifeline of the British and Indian troops in Malaya. Therefore, the British and Indian troops’ defense deployment on Penang Island will still be

It’s very attentive. It has everything it needs! Not only does it have trenches, barbed wire, minefields, and trenches as a forward position, but it also builds a fort on Betel Nut Mountain on the island and deploys 9.2-inch coastal defense cannons. Although the island’s

The fort had already been bombed by carrier-based aircraft, but the four battle cruisers of the Ming Dynasty still did not dare to get too close. They only dared to fire artillery 10 kilometers away from the beachhead in the west of Penang Island.

Because the bombardment distance was too far, the shooting accuracy was not high. Although the beach was plowed and most of the mines on the beach were detonated, the damage effect on the three barbed wire fences blocking the trench line of the British and Indian troops was not ideal.

.So Aizu Saigo had no choice but to loudly summon two Japanese infantrymen with large iron pliers, and waited for them to cut the barbed wire fence before continuing the charge.

Before the barbed wire fence was cut, Aizu Saigo and the officers and soldiers of his White Tiger Brigade were all living targets for the enemy on the opposite side!

Although Xixiang had already crouched down to reduce the possibility of being hit, he was still nervous with beads of sweat on his head and face - at least one-third of the men in the White Tigers are going to become gods this time, right?

But it is worth it. In order to liberate India and "liberate the commission", it is completely acceptable to die a few people!

Saigo Jinyu even had the consciousness of becoming a god at this time.

But to his surprise, the British and Indian troops in the trench on the opposite side did not fire at them!

They had just rushed to the beach, but before they were within the range of the defenders' rifles and machine guns, bullets were raining down from the opposite side. But now that they can fight, why don't they stop fighting?

When he was feeling strange, the barbed wire fence blocking the road had been cut. A Japanese soldier from the White Tigers shouted to him: "My lord, the barbed wire fence has been cut!"

"Yaoxi!" Xixiang Jinyong immediately stood up, pointed his sword forward, and shouted: "Kill him!"

Just when Saigo Mingyong gave the charge order, the other three squadrons of the White Tigers also restarted the attack at several other breaches of the barbed wire line. Seven to eight hundred Japanese soldiers rushed into the British and Indian troops like a whirlwind.

The first trench to be garrisoned. The first thing you can see is a perfectly constructed trench. Wooden piles have been driven into the walls on both sides to prevent collapse. At regular intervals, there are specially dug trenches.

Rifle shooting positions, machine gun fire points and anti-gun holes. At most of the machine gun fire points, there is a brand new Vickers water-cooled heavy machine gun. The copper-cased bullets on the ammunition supply chain are shining brightly.

It's terrifying - if these machine guns were fired while the White Tiger officers and soldiers were cutting the barbed wire fence, it would be hard to say whether any of the hundreds of White Tiger officers and soldiers who rushed up in this wave would make it back alive!

But why did such a complete and strong defense line, which had not suffered much damage due to the previous bombardment by Ming warships, give up? Could it be a fraud?

Thinking of this, the Japs from the White Tigers climbed up the straight and steep trench walls one after another, then stuck their heads out and looked forward. They saw hundreds of figures, escaping in confusion toward the low Betel Mountain in the distance! Among them were running

The fastest ones are almost on the verge of entering Betel Nut Mountain!

And behind them, dozens of corpses were left scattered. They must have been killed by the 155mm cannon fired by the Ming army destroyer on the sea when they fled in a panic! In addition, a new British bass was lost on the ground.

rifle.

It turns out that the British and Indian soldiers guarding the position were all brave enough to run away when they saw the enemy, and most of them were brave enough to run very fast!

The Japanese soldiers, who were not tall enough to stand in the trenches dug by the Indians and could not even show the hair on their heads, found that the Indians had run away, so they became more brave. They all climbed out of the trenches and were well trained.

Su Ji put up a battle formation and waited for the Xixiang family elder to give the order to launch a pursuit!

Saigo Jinyu also climbed out, holding his sword in the air. He hesitated for a moment, as if he was judging whether there was an ambush on the low Betel Nut Mountain in front of him. In the end, he pointed his sword forward and shouted loudly: "The first squadron, the first

The second squadron pursues the enemy and enters the mountains!

The third squadron and the fourth squadron cleaned the battlefield and consolidated their positions.

Signalman, signal to the sea, I have landed, the landing site is safe, the enemy is fleeing to the mountains!"

On board the Shu Zhongwang, the flagship of the first aviation battle, Zhuge Weidao was holding a telescope to watch the scene of Ssangyong aircraft circling and dropping bombs over Pinang Mountain - Penang Island was an important stronghold operated by the British and Indian authorities in Malaya for many years, because

It is located in the west of the Malay Peninsula and is not easily attacked by the Ming army. Therefore, the defense facilities on the island are not as good as those of Temasek, but they still have something to offer. The most interesting one is the Pinang Hill Fort! This fort is 100 years old.

Construction started a few years ago, and over the next hundred years, construction continued without interruption. Not long ago, the British transported 9.2-inch coastal defense cannons from India and set them up on the fort on Pinang Mountain.

And as long as this fort is captured, the Penang Island landing battle will be considered a victory!

Penang Island is close to the Malay Peninsula, and is only a little more than 2 kilometers away from the nearest point. The land of the Malay Peninsula close to Penang Island is not very fortified, so once Penang Island is captured, it is equivalent to boarding.

The land of the Malay Peninsula.

"Military gate, the Aizu division commander called. The first wave of land landing has been successful. The landing site is under the control of the White Tigers. The White Tigers have sent two squadrons to pursue Betel nut mountain! The Aizu division commander has sent Qinglong and Xuanwu.

The two teams followed up and landed, and asked us to use 300mm artillery to bombard the Pinangshan Fort to support the White Tigers' exploratory attack!"

"What? We are about to attack the Pinlang Mountain Fort? Isn't it too soon?"

Before Zhuge Weidao could say anything, Ma Xuchen beside him had already exclaimed.

"It's not a scam, right?" Guo Xiaobao also felt something was wrong!

"Let's fight!" Zhuge Weidao said, "Give General Chen an order to fire half a base of high-explosive shells from each of the 32 main guns of the Zhongwang class, targeting the Betel Mountain fort! Wang Wen, send out two more squadrons

The Ssangyong aircraft went to bomb the ferry east of Penang Island!”

"Bombing the ferry?" Wang Wen was stunned, "Military Gate, according to intelligence, the main force of the British and Indian troops in Penang are on Penang Island, so there will be no British and Indian military reinforcements from the Malay Peninsula to Penang Island in a short time.

of."

"I know!" Zhuge Weidao nodded, "But the Indian soldiers on Penang Island will escape. They may have already started to escape!"

"Already started to run away? Isn't this too weak?" Wang Wen was doubtful.

"Hurry up and send planes to blow up!" Zhuge Weidao said with a smile, "If you are late, it will be too late!"

"Yes, Junmen!"

Zhuge Weidao underestimated the enemy a little this time. Although the British Indian soldiers stationed on Penang Island were weak, they were not so weak that they only fled when they saw a "ghost". They were still brave Indian soldiers who only fled after seeing "ghosts".

So when the Ming Dynasty's Ssangyong aircraft went to bomb the ferry, these Indian soldiers were still firing randomly with their new Bess rifles on the Betel Mountain fort!

But that's all they could do. When they found that their only escape route was being bombed, and a large number of "Japanese soldiers" had already landed on land, reinforcements would soon come to the forefront of the "Japanese soldiers"

When the troops arrived, a brigade of garrison troops decisively collapsed. Most of them bravely raised their arms.
