Chapter 249 British Surrender
Chapter 249 British Surrender
At night, on a high ground west of the airport, the Japanese set up their position.
Lu Cheng approached the position quietly and used the thermal sensing radar and the night vision goggles of the new sniper rifle in the cross-border backpack to get a clear picture of the situation in the entire position. He knew exactly how many Japanese soldiers were at that location, what weapons were deployed, the firing range of the machine guns, and so on.
There was about a squadron of Japanese soldiers deployed at this position, completely blocking the British's retreat route to India.
In order to prevent the British troops inside from escaping, most of the Japanese heavy machine guns were aimed towards the airport, and only two heavy machine guns were facing outside.
After understanding the situation, Lu Cheng drew a crude sketch on the ground and began to deploy the next battle: "There are about 160 Japanese soldiers, distributed in two trenches. There are several machine gun positions here..."
After Lu Cheng finished explaining the situation, the others didn't notice anything, but Long Wenjian was shocked. Did he know the enemy's position so well? It was like he was standing high in the sky and seeing the situation clearly.
"I'm in charge of the two mortars, the grenade launcher, the light machine gun..."
After assigning the tasks, Lu Cheng looked at Long Wenjian: "Captain Long, are you interested in taking people to throw grenades? I need to throw 500 grenades in the enemy's trenches..."
"That's a good idea. Let's get close under the cover of night and throw 500 grenades at them. That will definitely be enough to give the Japanese a hard time."
Afterwards, Lu Cheng asked Long Wenjian to lead a company and ordered them to carry five grenades. After the two machine gun positions outside were destroyed, they should immediately approach the positions and throw all the grenades as quickly as possible.
After arranging everything, Lu Cheng operated two mortars, aimed at the two machine gun positions, and a grenade launcher team assisted in the battle.
Following Lu Cheng's order, the two mortars adjusted their angles and fired immediately. The two shells landed accurately on the two machine gun positions, followed by ten grenade launchers.
Immediately afterwards, Long Wenjian led his men to advance quickly. After approaching the Japanese position, one grenades after another drew a graceful arc and landed on the Japanese position.
The sudden attack caught the Japanese off guard. Before they could react, the sound of grenades exploding continued. The entire Japanese position was filled with flying fragments and flames, which was truly a pleasing sight.
At the same time, Lu Cheng was constantly searching for the remaining Japanese soldiers through thermal sensing radar on the periphery, and sending them artillery shells one after another.
Even if the enemy squatted in the trenches without showing their heads, they could not escape the fate of mortar shells exploding under their feet.
Of the more than 160 Japanese soldiers, only a few were left, and many were lying on the ground wailing.
The remaining Japanese soldiers were no longer worth using mortars, so Lu Cheng simply rushed forward with two pistols in hand, and quickly cleared out the remaining Japanese soldiers with one shot each.
No living Japanese soldier can escape the scanning of thermal imaging radar.
The only drawback is that the body temperature of those Japanese soldiers who had just died had not completely dropped, and the thermal sensing radar was not enough to determine whether they were dead.
Just as Lu Cheng was thinking about this, a long-lost reminder suddenly came from the system:
"Congratulations to the host. You have led your soldiers to complete an annihilation war and obtained more than 500 war points. You can now exchange them for new functional modules or upgrade the thermal sensing radar.
The upgraded thermal sensing radar has a scanning range increased to 1000 meters, and a new vital signs detection function has been added to determine whether the enemy is alive..."
Lu Cheng didn't expect that the system would send him a pillow just as he fell asleep. It was really timely.
Lu Cheng was already familiar with the thermal sensing radar, so he did not choose any other functional modules. He directly spent 500 war points to upgrade the thermal sensing radar.
Soon, the soldiers cleaned up the battlefield and completed their defenses by relying on the favorable terrain.
This battle was different from the previous small-scale raids. It was a real positional battle, and almost all of the more than 200 soldiers under Lu Cheng's command participated in the battle and experienced the feeling of victory.
In fact, due to Lu Cheng's proper arrangement, there were only more than 20 soldiers injured, and no one was seriously injured or died. Even these more than 20 injured were basically because they tripped in the dark, or stepped on some sharp objects and stabbed their feet.
The soldiers were so excited by the overwhelming victory that they gathered together and enthusiastically discussed the battle that had just taken place.
"I killed at least two Japanese soldiers, but one of them was blown up by a grenade and was left half dead."
"I don't know how many people I killed, but I learned how to use mortars from the battalion commander."
"I can use a grenade launcher now."
"Alright, enough of that nonsense. The Japanese canned food tastes pretty good, why don't you fill your stomach quickly? If you're not enthusiastic about eating, there's something wrong with your brain."
"Yes! Battalion Commander!"
Just as Lu Cheng was sitting on an ammunition box eating canned sardines, Long Wenjian came over and said, "Captain Lu, you are good at fighting. Why haven't I heard of such a tough guy like you before? When did you join the army?"
"last year."
"You've only been in the army for a year? Then how come you're so awesome?"
"I went to military school in Germany before."
"No wonder, it turns out that you are a returned overseas student. Can I ask you a question? How did you do the investigation just now?"
"This is a special skill. You won't be able to learn it even if I tell you."
The thermal sensing radar granted by the system, plus the most advanced night vision goggles in later generations, are Lu Cheng's secret weapons, which of course he will not tell.
Just as everyone was eating, Lu Cheng suddenly discovered from the thermal sensing radar that a group of people were walking towards them from the direction of the airport.
Soon, everyone also discovered this small group of people and immediately became alert. They put down their food, picked up their guns, loaded bullets, and aimed them outside.
Then, everyone saw the small group of people holding white flags and beating drums, marching in an orderly manner. When they got closer, the leader shouted: "Gentlemen, we surrender, and we have decided to accept the protection of the Geneva Convention."
Lu Cheng waved his hand and said, "Relax, take your finger off the trigger, and don't fire accidentally. These British guys are going to surrender to us."
The soldiers below looked at each other in bewilderment, some of them speechless: "These British guys are not good at fighting, but they surrendered so quickly."
"That's right. They surrendered overnight without even understanding the situation."
Lu Cheng stood up, straightened his military uniform, walked out of the trench, put his right hand on the box gun at his waist, and walked over.
When he got closer, Lu Cheng was able to see the appearance and rank of the leader in the moonlight. From the crown and two stars on his epaulettes, he could tell that he was a colonel.
In the British Army's military ranks, major's shoulder strap has only one crown, lieutenant colonel has a crown plus a star, and colonel has a crown and two stars.
"Colonel, we may not be able to accept your surrender. Because we are the Chinese Expeditionary Force."
"Wat?" The British present were extremely embarrassed, especially the colonel, who wished he could find a hole in the ground to crawl into...
