Chapter 135 Infiltration
That night, a 500-strong battalion of the Indian National Army set off.
It should be said that setting off at night is a good time, but it cannot be considered a good time.
It is said that it is a good time because of infiltration wars. It can play a role with the cover of night. This refers not only to the Indian soldiers being more likely to get in... In fact, because Indian soldiers are Indians and have too many talkers during the day, they are more likely to get in during the day. But after getting in, they are spread out and shot guns to create chaos. It is obvious that if this chaos is more likely to be stopped during the day, but at night it will become more and more serious and even cause large-scale misunderstandings and chaos by the British and Indian troops. Therefore, Mutaguchi Ryo had to choose to act at night.
It is said that this is not a good time, but because the Japanese army is good at night wars and often launches attacks at night... This is determined by the weak Japanese equipment and supply. The Japanese army's air strength is not as good as the British and American coalition forces, and the artillery shells are not as abundant as the British army, so siege at night is naturally a good choice.
But the problem is that the excessive night battles have led to the vigilance of the British and Indian troops in Impal. Not to mention the open whistle, secret whistle and command, there will be a team of British and Indian troops waiting in the trenches at any time.
This made it difficult for Indian soldiers to infiltrate.
However, this did not stump Ryoma Mutaguchi. He sent a team of Japanese troops to the front line to grab a few "tongues".
The British and Indian soldiers were timid and had already explained the command, number and other information clearly before they were sentenced.
Perhaps these British and Indian soldiers thought... even if I gave you a command, it would be nothing important. Do you Japanese still want to get in?
But this time they were wrong.
The command gave the Indian soldiers of the Indian National Army great convenience. When the British and Indian troops saw that they were Indians, their military uniforms and rifles were all British, and the command was correct. They shouted the correct number as soon as they came up, so they gave them the green light without much checking.
According to the exercise, the Indian National Army did not launch an attack as soon as it entered the city, but instead scattered three, two, and two.
After everything was ready, Major Galaw, who was leading the charge, hid in the dark and fired three red signal flares into the sky.
As soon as the signal flare came out, the city of Impal became chaotic, with gunfire and fire everywhere. The Indian National Army was in chaos and killing, and sometimes even was not ruthless to the Indian people... This was also Mutaguchi Ryoya's vicious plan. This would not only cause misunderstandings within the British and Indian army, but even the Indian people in Impale would be afraid of the British and Indian army.
Originally, Ryoma Mudaguchi thought that these Indian soldiers would still be resistant to this point. After all, these Indian warriors were sincerely for India's independence, but after careful temptation, they found that they were not resistant at all, and they couldn't help but be both unexpected and surprised.
What Mudaguchi Ryokawa didn't know was that the Indian people living in Impal were yellow people from the Tohoku state. Although they were Indians, the Indians did not treat them as Indians, so naturally they did not have much sympathy for them.
However, Major Galaw was very clever and hid after firing a few shots... In the infiltration battle, his comrades were scattered between them, and no one knew what the others had done. Only fools would really believe in the Japanese's tricks and shoot guns everywhere outside.
Major Galava even thought: as long as the war passes, or the Japanese kill in, he can become one of the few surviving heroes in the Indian National Army and be promoted to the title.
But what Major Galaw didn't expect was that... the Japanese soldiers and Indian soldiers did not understand the language, and Major Galaw's dress was the same as the British and Indian troops. So after the Japanese army attacked the city, before Major Galaw could raise his hand and say a few words, he raised his gun and killed him.
In fact, what is more important is that Mudaguchi Ryokan did not explain to the Japanese army, asking them to be careful not to accidentally injure the Indian National Army that might survive... Mudaguchi Ryokan also felt that there was no need for this at all. The Indian National Army was just a pawn, and there was no need to let Japanese soldiers identify whether each Indian soldier was an enemy or a friend for a few pawns, which would undoubtedly increase the casualties of the Japanese army.
So, Major Galaw is actually not smart enough.
Of course, this is all a story.
Almost at the same time, the Japanese army, who had already prepared outside the city, launched an attack on Impal... Although Impal also fought back at this time, its firepower was obviously much weaker than before.
What's worse is that the British and Indian troops' combat steps and command soon arise under this kind of internal and external attack... Due to chaos and accidental injuries, the troops that should have been reinforced to the front line could not gather at all.
This is not to say that the Indian soldiers are timid. It is because no one knows whether the Indian soldiers around them are enemies or friends, nor do they know if there is a machine gun facing them in the secret. If the troops assemble, they will be afraid that a piece of bullet will turn into corpses after they come.
This is not to say that the command system of the British and Indian army is not good, but that there are not many troops in the British and Indian army that can still execute orders in full. The command was also in vain. There were even many British officers who were killed at the first time... They were the first target of the Indian National Army.
So there is no need to say more about the outcome of this battle. The Japanese army successfully broke through Impal's defense line and rushed into the city, killing and robbing. At this moment, they didn't care about the image of the "liberator"... The Japanese attack on Impal was like attacking Myanmar, and they were slogans of "drive away the British colonists and support Indian independence."
Therefore, the Japanese army should have done some superficial skills when invading Impal, such as not killing the people or stealing the people's things.
But these Japanese troops were Japanese troops who had been attacking Yingpail for a long time. Not only did they hate Yingpail to the core, but they were hungry because of insufficient supplies. At this moment, they finally attacked the city, just like a wealthy fan who broke into the vault, and they could not bear it. So they did all kinds of evil things.
This made Colonel Jill feel numb when he saw it. In fact, it was not just him. The Indians in the Indian National Army also questioned the question in their hearts... Although the Indians in Impali are yellow people, even if the Indians do not regard them as Indians, after seeing such a large-scale massacre and evil state of the Japanese army, the Indian soldiers would think in their hearts: If the Japanese were so cruel, how could they still really fight for independence for India? Think about the tragic situation of the Burmese people... Maybe they fought for India's independence by fighting for life and death, and the so-called independence is independence under Japan!
