No one expected that the Siamese army did not passively troops in Chiang Mai and waited for the Anjia Army to come to the door.
Qinglai is located between the natural barrier of the Kokhe River and the three hills. The geographical location is dangerous, especially in Meishan, south of Michael. It was once built in the history of Siam and Myanmar.
Lin Li, the city is full, is a good place for defense.
At 8 am on the 20th, the fourth regiment of the First Mountain Division, as the pioneer of the entire army, destroyed several Siamese posts set up along the road.
Move forward in Qing Mei Village.
After occupying Qing Mei Village, it will enter Meishan. The Siamese's first line of defense is located there.
The November of Qinglai to February is a cool dry season. March to May is a wet and hot rainy season. The average annual temperature is about 24 degrees Celsius, about thirty -five degrees in summer, winter in winter, winter in winter, and winter.
Affected by the cold air south south of the mainland, the temperature decreased slightly, about twelve degrees. It can be said that level 4 evergreen.
The weather in late August was cool in the morning, and the green grass on the field was full of bright flowers everywhere. Due to the fog, the sky was dim, the green woods were like a piece of emerald, and it was stunned between the mountains.
Michard town south, light water is soaked in horseshoe, streams, winding, flowing out of the mountains in the distance, with yellow water stirred by the horseshoe, flowing to the dam behind you.
A tactical camouflage clothing and supporting camouflage helmet, the right waist across the engine shovel, the automatic rifle hangs on the right shoulder, the belt around the waist is tied with a bomb belt, behind the quilts wrapped in raincoats and clothes changing clothes, on the other side
Limb -crossing kettle and dry grain bags, this is the standard equipment of the Anjiajun Mountain Army.
The heavy fire and ammunition are loaded by a horse. A mountain group is belonged to more than 300 horses, the main mortars with the main ammunition box, 50, 60, and eight -one -alarm, 75mm mountain guns and 70mm infantry guns.
The Horse Horse team expanded to more than 1,500 horses, mainly responsible for transporting 105mm mountain howitzers and artillery artillery, 107mm mountain rocket launchers, and belonging to artillery shells.
The troops have been moving forward. More than 2,600 officers and soldiers lined up into four columns, flowing through a small river across the road, and disappeared behind a forest, leaving only a rotten river bank, and a front line.
The yellow river water.
Major An Shaohui, the head of the four regiment of the mountain, came from the Boyfun Military Academy, 24 years old, the national character face, wide eyebrows, and refined eyes in the eyes.
At this time, An Shaohui rode on the moment, raised the reins lightly, and went along with the political commissar An Ruoqi. In addition to the four or five hundred meters in front of them, one of the battalions was starting to evacuate the scattered team and search for progress.
An Shaohui and An Ruoqi are classmates of the Boy Military Academy. They have been admitted to the Syrian officer school together. After graduation, they are allocated to different troops.
When you get together, lead the troops together.
"Ruoqi, your former old troops, is it still in Syrian Prefecture for reorganization?" An Shaohui looked at the search forward in front of him, and said to An Ruoqi casually.
"Yes, I used to be the Tenth Group Army of the Tenth Army of the Terminal Army of the Terminal Army of the Terminal Army of the Terminal Army of the Tenth Army of the Tenth Group Army Instructor.
General Yang Guan's agent command. Our army and the army of Chiefs Zhang Chengzhu as the general reserve for the entire army.
All are enough, especially in Central Asia and Mongolia's replenishment difficulties, and no longer mobilize the new troops to go north, so that the chiefs are a little safe. "
An Ruoqi said, looking around, observing the surrounding terrain.
An Shaohui smiled slightly and said without showing off: "I am more lucky and allocate to Her Majesty Gu Changfeng. Now my old troops Wang Xunlun, the first group of the first group, the fourteenth of the Fourteen Infantry Regiment is currently.
Poetry combed the front line of fierce battle. I heard that this battle was played. The Siamese's five divisions were gone at once. In the next step, they will follow the Alan Mountain Exit, which is close to Bangkok City.
Down. "
An Ruoqi nodded, but lamented in his heart. When he graduated, he graduated with the third place in command majors.
Most of the chiefs and other chiefs have been sick. The general participants have never used the meaning of this unit. Instead, they frequently transferred the hand -to -hand to supplement the other brothers from their trained troops. Just An Ruoqi, he sent away four soldiers.
When An Ruoqi was assigned to the troops, it was the head of the army. Later, because of the constant chief officer, and his training soldiers excellent, he was promoted by training results.
The main officer who graduated from the steps promoted by the battle is not the same.
A short shot of gunfire interrupted An Shaohui's words, An Ruoqi raised his right hand and ordered: "All stop forward!"
"Stop all!"
A series of commands of the same command spit out from the heads of the battalions, and the company's mouth spit out. The long snake -like marching forces have been solidified and frozen in place.
The first head of the head of the first ordered soldiers ran, and immediately saluted:
"Report head, political commissar! One battalion and Siamese infantry with more than 20 Siamese infantry, the opponent fled behind the forest on the east after the fire was turned on.
Conspiracy, dare not make a decision, and ask the head of the regiment to instruction. "
"It is the Siam's reconnaissance team." An Ruoqi thought about it and immediately made his own judgment.
An Shaohui nodded and said to the commander: "Go back and tell you the company commander. Without my order, you must not attack without authorization. Let him send a small team to the forest to search for it.
If you encounter a small stock enemy, you can expel firepower. "
It is rumored that the soldiers follow the order of the horse.
"After that forest, you should see Qing Mei Village ... The head of the team, should you start a company team on each wing of the column?"
An Ruoqi took the telescope and carefully looked at the surrounding environment, and turned to suggest that he always felt that the nearby forests were too dense and were very suitable for hiding ambush. Once the Siamese had difficulty, it was urgent to welcome the enemy.
It will be very passive.
An Shaohui raised his hand: "No need. According to the Air Force investigation, the Siam's main force is gathered in the first line of Meishan. There are not many enemies nearby.
An Ruoqi nodded silently. An An Shaohui was not unreasonable. The establishment of the five battalions of the whole group (four mountain camps+one artillery camp) a total of more than 2,600 people.
Eighty doors, 60 mortarsal guns, twenty mortar mortars, 75mm mountain gun eight, 70mm infantry cannon eight, coupled with strong popularization to class -level general machine guns and rockets, their
The firepower is enough to effectively suppress the Siamese army of the same scale.
When the troops are marching in column, if the enemy attacks from the side, it only takes one or two minutes for the mortars to be put into use. Coupled with the powerful general-purpose machine gun firepower, the enemy's attack will suffer heavy losses. If it exceeds five
Minutes later, by the time the field artillery and infantry artillery were assembled, the Siamese army had no choice but to flee.
Sure enough, during the subsequent march, no Siamese troops tried to harass the Fourth Mountain Regiment from the side. It was not that the Siamese were indeed aware of the above situation, but that the Siamese troops stationed in Qingmei Village in front only had two battalions and one artillery unit.
Company, equipped with artillery
Eight gates, four Maxim heavy machine guns, commander Lieutenant Colonel Yangdala was ordered to use these thousand troops to block the Anjia army in Qingmei Village for at least one day, so that the defenders on the Meishan front line could build fortifications, and at the same time, Chiang Mai
The main force rushed north to help create time.
In the view of Lieutenant Colonel Yangdala, his force of about a thousand people has no other way out except digging trenches on several slopes around Qingmei Village. Any adventurous ideas such as taking the initiative to attack should be abandoned.
.
As a result, the Siamese troops stepped up their efforts to dig holes. By the time the leading company of the Fourth Mountain Regiment appeared at the foot of the hills two kilometers north of the village, Lieutenant Colonel Yangdala's troops were already closing in on the east and west sides of the north entrance of the village.
Three jagged trenches more than one meter deep were dug on each high slope, and cannons were set up at the highest points of the slopes on both sides. Each cannon was protected by a sand bunker.
The leading troops of the Fourth Mountain Regiment, one battalion and one company, bypassed the dense pine trees in the northeast of the village and turned onto the road from Mae Sai on the border to Chiang Rai. The road ran straight through Chiang Mae Village, so this village had to be
It cannot be taken off.
Rows of shells roared in and exploded within twenty to fifty meters in front of the leading soldiers of the company. Seeing the fierce firepower of the defenders, the company had no choice but to retreat behind the woods, and the Siamese cannon blasted them in the back.
, but didn’t hurt anyone.
After receiving the report from the first company, regiment leader An Shaohui and An Ruoqi rode on horseback and approached the road along the edge of the forest. Under a tall and green South Asia pine, they used binoculars to carefully observe the Siamese positions.
An Shaohui looked at it for a while and nodded slightly: "It looks like the fortifications are well built. It will be difficult to break through from the front."
"Perhaps we can conduct a fire reconnaissance first to determine the enemy's defensive focus and wait for opportunities to break through." After reading, An Ruoqi turned around and suggested.
"Okay, that's it!" An Shaohui waved his hand and said loudly: "The messenger!"
"arrive!"
"Send word to the commanders of each battalion, the artillery battalion, and the machine gun company commander."
"As you command!"
Ten minutes later, according to the plan, the company once again bypassed the woods and turned onto the road due north. The Siamese artillerymen who had been paying attention to the movement on the road immediately opened fire, and the company hurriedly retreated behind the woods. After a few minutes, the company
The officers and soldiers lined up to evacuate the column again, rushed onto the road, and once again triggered a burst of artillery fire. Of course, the mountain soldiers of the Anjia Army were again on the slope of more than 30 degrees, walking as fast as flying, as if walking on the ground, and obediently hid behind the woods.
When the first company continued this action for the fifth time, the commander of the Siamese Army finally couldn't hold it anymore and sent an infantry company, under the cover of artillery fire, to attack the "retreating" company. The first company pretended to be panicked.
With a look of confusion, he retreated "awkwardly" along the edge of the forest and quickly disappeared from the sight of the Siamese gunner.
The Siamese infantry were condescending, and for a moment they were eager to kill. No matter what, they rushed down with a roar.
When the Siamese soldiers turned around a corner of the forest and completely separated from the defensive position behind them, what suddenly appeared in front of them was a row of dense, cold muzzles.
Three companies of general-purpose machine guns and mountain soldiers equipped with automatic rifles were concentrated, crawling on the ground and aiming at the pursuing Siamese infantry. On both sides of these mountain soldiers, a large number of mortars and artillery pieces supported by the brother battalions were arranged.
There is a deep darkness hidden in the mouth and muzzle of the gun.
"put!"
The arrogant look on the Siamese soldier's face suddenly disappeared, and he turned around and ran away. However, when he realized it, it was obviously too late. The mortar shells fell like hail, and the dense bullets formed a tight fire net. In just five years, it was too late.
Within minutes, almost all the Siamese soldiers of an entire company were killed. The mountain soldiers stopped shooting, rushed forward with automatic rifles with bayonets, and captured more than a dozen wounded Siamese soldiers.
The two or three Siamese officers who fell in the woods behind were lucky enough to escape the blow. They returned to the main position out of breath and reported the enemy situation to Lieutenant Colonel Yangdala.
Yangdala heard that the opponent's troops were small but the firepower was fierce, so he did not dare to send troops to fight at the moment. He strictly ordered all units to hold their positions, and especially ordered observation posts to pay close attention to the movements near the woods in the northeast of the village.
After a while, a company of mountain soldiers from the Anjia Army came out from behind the forest again, holding the Siamese military cap they had just captured with their bayonets, and provoking the Siamese position above the hillside. Lieutenant Colonel Yangdala watched from the position.
Knowing clearly, he became angry and shouted: "Fire! Fire at those cunning Chinese! Blow them up to death!"
The eight field artillery pieces of the Siamese Army quickly fired again, and the shells exploded in front of the provocative mountain soldiers. The mountain soldiers did not continue to advance, but quickly disappeared behind the woods as before.
Lieutenant Colonel Yangdala was completely angered by these repeated provocations, but he did not dare to send out troops again. He knew the tasks he shouldered, and he also understood that with the pitiful troops he had, he must defend this place as much as possible.
place, rather than starting from here to attack an unknown number of enemy troops.
The attention of almost all the lower-level commanders under Lieutenant Colonel Yangdala was attracted by that company of Anjiajun mountain soldiers. Everyone was eager to go out and teach those "annoying little flies" a lesson.
, but Lieutenant Colonel Yangdala stopped them in time as a commander.
"Don't act rashly. They must be Chinese scouts, and there must be a large army behind them."
Lieutenant Colonel Yangdala said sternly. His judgment was undoubtedly very correct, but he did not think further about the movements of those large troops. His eyes were just confused by the mountain soldiers of that company.
"Enemies, there are enemies in the northwest of the village!"
When Lieutenant Colonel Yangdala heard the report, the second and third battalions of the Fourth Mountain Regiment had already bypassed the woods northwest of the village, forded a small river northwest of the village, and followed a string of small soil along the river.
Pack, an artillery firing position was established, eight 75mm mountain guns, eight 70mm infantry guns, and twenty August 1st mortars, all pointing at the Siamese defensive positions.
"No, the enemy is in the northwest, quickly turn the muzzle..."
Lieutenant Colonel Yangdala shouted loudly to the artillery company commander beside him. At this time, a dense string of artillery shells fell, and a piece of shrapnel just cut into his chest. Lieutenant Colonel Yangdala fell forward and vomited a large piece of food from the corner of his mouth.
The large pieces of blood foam passed away after struggling for a few times with the limbs.
"Come on!"
Before the Siamese army's artillery completed its turn, a red signal flare flew into the sky. As the charge horn sounded, the second battalion of the fourth mountain regiment took the lead in launching the charge. The three companies of the second battalion formed an evacuation line, carrying the
Automatic rifles with bayonets launched an assault on the Siamese positions on the west side. Behind the positions, general machine guns made the sound of tearing cloth, suppressing the Siamese machine gun firepower.
The bright red battle flags were flying, bullets were flying, and the blades were shining. In no time, the mountain soldiers had approached the main position in the northwest corner of the Siamese army.
Although the Siamese lost their top commander, under the instigation of grassroots officers, they acted quickly, organized rifle and machine gun fire, blocked the attack, and knocked down many charging Anjia Army mountain soldiers to the ground.
The Siamese gunners also worked hard to turn the cannon to the northwest, loaded the shells and fired, but the more than 500 officers and soldiers of the second battalion had already got into the blind spot of the artillery fire. A few relied on the firepower of automatic rifles to defeat the enemy blocking the front.
To defend themselves, they rushed towards the artillery position on the top of the western slope.
Major Phichai, the battalion commander of the Siamese Army, led a platoon of the reserve team and jumped into the third trench. A dense rain of bullets shot out, and several mountain soldiers of the Anjia Army who rushed at the front fell in a pool of blood.
"No, the enemy is coming from the north!"
Upon hearing this report, Major Phichai hurriedly looked north with his binoculars. Sure enough, hundreds of Chinese soldiers, guided by a red military flag, regarded bullets as nothing and rushed up with shouts - this was exactly what they were annihilating behind the woods.
An entire Siamese infantry company of officers and soldiers of the 1st Battalion of the 4th Mountain Regiment. Behind them were forty 50-0 mortars and twenty 60-0 mortars.
"It's over, another group of enemies is coming from the west!"
In surprise, Phichai turned around and looked again, but he happened to be hit by a machine gun bullet. The bullet entered from the forehead and penetrated through the back of the head. Major Phichai fell to the ground and died immediately.
The 2nd Battalion of the 4th Mountain Regiment took advantage of the situation and rushed to the top of the western slope. There were five Meiji 150mm field howitzers purchased by Siam from Japan. The gunners knew that they could not defeat the mountain soldiers rushing up, so they dispersed in a hurry.
However, the Siamese infantry still refused to give up their position. They emerged from the trenches behind and fired continuously at the mountain soldiers of the Anjia Army. Captain Jin Hanchou, commander of the fifth company of the second battalion, was killed in the melee.
The third battalion, which surrounded the west side, quickly rushed up and, together with the officers and soldiers of the second battalion, cleared the Siamese soldiers on the top of the western slope.
At this time, the 1st Battalion had occupied the due north position and launched an attack directly to the top of the east slope. However, it was repulsed by the Siamese's concentrated machine gun, rifle and artillery fire, causing more than 30 casualties, and then retreated to the back of the west slope.
Major An Shaohui, commander of the 4th Mountain Regiment, led the 4th Battalion as a reserve team and rushed to the top of the west slope. The mortars also followed in time. The gunners set up mortars on the top of the slope and fired towards Siam on the top of the east slope.
The Luo artillery position fired continuously. At the same time, two
A platoon of the battalion, under the command of Captain Li Changchuan, commander of the artillery battalion directly under the regiment, turned the muzzles of the five captured field howitzers and fired fiercely at the top of the east slope until all the 150mm artillery shells that could be found on the position were fired.
Eight 75mm mountain guns, eight 70mm infantry guns, and twenty August 1st mortars of the Fourth Mountain Regiment also assembled in the area north of the western slope. These artillery pieces cooperated with the general-purpose machine guns and easily suppressed the Siamese attacks on the eastern slope.
Maxim machine gun.
After the fierce bombardment, the Second and Third Battalions simultaneously launched a fierce charge to the top of the east slope. The Siamese army resisted tenaciously, and no one escaped - perhaps because they realized that human legs could not compete with the speed of bullets after all.
After a fierce hand-to-hand encounter, a large number of corpses lay on the slope. What is surprising is that not a single Siamese surrendered from the beginning to the end.
A company and baggage troops of the Siamese army stationed in Qingmei Village still maintained a high morale and did not choose to retreat. They relied on houses and hastily constructed roadblocks as cover to repel an attack from the second battalion. The commander of the sixth company
Captain Chen Qingyu was shot and killed.
"These Siamese people do have some backbone. No matter how you look at it, they should know that this place cannot be defended, right? The French would have surrendered at this time."
An Shaohui, who had participated in the battle against French Annan, was stationed in Ma Xipo and sighed to the political commissar An Ruoqi beside him.
An Ruoqi nodded: "Westerners have different education. They are allowed to surrender when their forces are inferior to their opponents and their troops are in dire straits. They do not take it as a shame. In comparison, the Soviet Union and the Japanese are relatively tenacious.
It is not uncommon for the Soviets to fight to the last soldier. The Soviets are driven by their faith, while the Japanese are driven by the combination of Bushido and Shinto. The Siamese use Japan as their teacher, so it is not surprising that they have such tenacious performance."
An Shaohui frowned: "Speaking of which, we are enemies of Japan and the Soviet Union at the same time, and now we have added Siam. Each of them is a tough nut to crack."
“Siamese don’t count!”
An Ruoqi said with relief: "The Siamese people do not have their own industrial base, cannot produce guns, ammunition and cannons on their own. Their equipment is backward and their tactical literacy is poor. Commander, you said that today's battle will be defended by our people.
, can you reach the high ground so easily?"
"That's true!"
An Shaohui smiled: "If it were our Anjia Army, the Little Japanese Army, or the Siamese Army, without more than three regiments of troops, we would never be able to attack the position at all." At this point, he pointed down the slope: "Three Roads
The trenches were not built professionally at all,
Although the trenches were intertwined, they were not deep enough and there were no machine gun bunkers, so they were easily suppressed by artillery fire. There were no communication ditches between the trenches, so after the west slope was breached, the east slope could not organize rescue in time, resulting in a passive overall situation."
"This is the difference!"
An Ruoqi said: "Our firepower is stronger than the Siamese, and our tactics are more advanced than the Siamese. Coupled with the hard training of the officers and soldiers, the quality of our individual soldiers is far higher than that of the enemy. The Siamese are not our opponents at all. In addition,
, Commander, don’t forget that we still have two army groups that have not been used. If they are thrown into Siam together, the Siamese people will collapse sooner or later. "
An Shaohui became more confident, held his head high, and called the artillery battalion commander, Captain Li Changchuan: "Batalion Commander Li, now I want you to use cannon to level that village."
Li Changchuan hesitated, thought for a while and said: "Captain, the number of artillery shells is limited... We may encounter the enemy in Meishan behind Qingmei Village, so it is necessary to leave the artillery shells just in case...
....”
"In this way, finish the artillery shells seized by Dongpo, and then use our artillery to attack, at least ignite each house."
"This is easy!"
Li Yichuan respected a gift happily, immediately rode on the horse, and greeted the gunners.
After five minutes, the dense rain rain covered the entire Qing Mei Village. Each wooden house in the village burned a fire. A Buddhist temple in the village was shot by the fire of artillery because of blocking the sight of the artillery.
It soon collapsed.
After the shells stopped, the first and third battalions launched an attack from the two directions of the northwest and northeast, respectively. In the village, they fought with the remaining Siamese troops in the village. In the end, only twenty -one captives were captured.
An Shaohui, An Ruoqi, led the staff of the Youth League to the village. From the time of noon, the cooks of the Youth League set up a pot stove on a open space in the south of the village and started cooking.
It was sent to collect firewood, and everyone naturally pulled out the broken wooden boards from the burning houses.
One of the soldiers dragged a huge Buddhist man and walked across the political commissar An Ruoqi. He was called by him.
"Where did this thing come from?" An Ruoqi asked seriously.
"Pick it there ..." The soldier pointed to the old site of the temple that was still smoking.
An Ruoqi waved his hand: "Forget what our guidelines say? We must respect the beliefs of others and put this thing back immediately."
The soldiers were hesitant a bit, but they still followed the order.
An Shaohui happened to be next to him. When he saw the soldier dragged a huge Buddha's altar, he walked over and asked.
"That's something in the temple. According to the regulations, we should put it back." An Ruoqi explained softly.
An Shaohui smiled slightly: "Where is the temple?"
"It has been destroyed, and now there is only this Buddhist." An Ruoqi was a little bit inexplicable.
"Then you should burn this Buddhist altar together to destroy the corpse." An Shaohui said with a smile, and then instructed the soldier to let him pull the Buddha's cricket to the pot.
"this--"
An Ruoqi couldn't help shaking his head and smiled.
An Shaohui said: "If you feel that you don't want to go, we will ask the superiors to build a Buddhist temple on the original site on the grounds of respect for national beliefs, but now it is not enough.
This Buddha's altar may not be stimulated, and opposite us. On the contrary, if they come back and see everything, they must not think of others. When we build a temple for them, they will be grateful to our government Dade, so
Gattering the hearts of the people will be fast. "
An Ruoqi couldn't help but find out that the actual work experience was really important. Although he and An Shaohui graduated from the non -commissioned officer school during the same period, because the assigned troops were different, the vision was different.
An Shaohui has too many. He can't help but secretly decide, learn more from An Shaohui, and quickly improve himself.
