Chapter 375 The lesson is coming
Pingding City welcomed a Japanese devil from a field infantry brigade last night.
Unlike the garrison, the field troops not only have four infantry squadrons with nearly 200 people, but also include a heavy machine gun squadron, a mortar squadron, a cavalry squadron, a baggage squadron, an engineer squadron, a guard squadron, and a reconnaissance squadron. The total force reaches an astonishing 1,300 people.
After such a strong army entered pacification, Major Asakawa's confidence was much greater than that of the previous few days.
Immediately inform the captain of the field infantry brigade of the enemy situation he has grasped without missing a word, hoping that he can help him solve these major problems and completely control the occupied areas.
The field troops were dispatched as soon as the sky was dawn.
A Japanese army with nearly 300 Japanese soldiers, equipped with three mortars and three heavy machine guns, rushed out of Pingding East Gate and headed straight for a village between Donghui Town and the county town.
Major Asakawa had received information before that about a company of the National Salvation Army was operating there. The task of this strengthening squadron was to find these National Salvation Army and kill him.
The squadron leader, like Major General Honda, led the team, and he has been in the field troops since he entered China with the Japanese invading China.
When Honda was promoted from corps captain to brigade commander, he was promoted from lieutenant squadron captain to captain squadron captain.
This was the first time he led his troops to fight independently after becoming the squadron leader. He still learned as he had learned on the front line. Except for the vanguard troops who explored the way one kilometer in front, all the main troops marched in a regiment.
The target village is about twelve kilometers away from the county town, and you can arrive in a marching force for more than two hours.
In the squadron leader's plan: the troops left the city at 8 o'clock in the morning, rushed to the village at 10 o'clock, and after resting for half an hour, they launched an attack on the National Savior Army, and then retreated, and could return to the county town to have a celebration wine at 1 o'clock in the afternoon.
But the real battle was very different. The National Salvation Army directly used bullets and artillery shells to teach them a lesson that would never be forgotten for life.
After leaving the county town for five or six kilometers, the Japanese with high fighting spirit gradually became tired, and the vanguard troops one kilometer away were no exception.
The vigilance of more than 30 Japanese detachments in the two combat squads was getting worse and worse.
There is not even a small hill on both sides of the pipeline, and there is a wasteland where food has been collected within the field of view, and there is not even a place for Tibetans. There is definitely no danger.
With this idea in mind, more than 30 Japanese soldiers gathered on the pipeline as they walked, and they gathered together like the main force, chatting about something while walking, and laughter came from time to time in the team.
Suddenly, a pile of straw piles less than 30 meters away from the official road scattered like flowers in a celestial girl. The location of the straw pile was inexplicably turned into a position, and five or six soldiers stretched their heads out of the position.
Someone was holding a light machine gun? One shot at the position and shot at the Japanese on the official road.
The remaining soldiers were holding a rifle? They raised it and pulled the trigger.
After the bullets in the gun chamber were fired out, throw the rifle to the side? Grab a grenade? Pull the strings and wait until the grenade is short and white smoke comes out? Throw it out with force.
Two of the soldiers were obviously more sophisticated. They didn't throw the grenade out immediately after pulling the string? They held it in their hands for two seconds before throwing it out...
At the same time? Five identical positions emerged around the Japanese vanguard troops. The closest one was only twenty meters away, and the farthest one was no more than forty meters.
Each position is equipped with a light machine gun and four riflemen.
It is equivalent to more than 30 Japanese soldiers being fired at once by six light machine guns.
These Japanese are worthy of being elite from the field troops. Although they are very vigilant, the various tactical movements they usually train have been integrated into their bones. As soon as the gunfire sounded, all of them lay on the ground. Less than ten Japanese Japanese were killed by sudden fire.
After lying down, the Japanese reacted more quickly, like war machines, raising their rifles quickly? They shot at the position of the guns, and they were extremely accurate. Two machine guns were silent on the spot.
But no matter how strong the Japanese are in combat, they are still flesh and blood.
Faced with the pocket formation carefully prepared by the National Salvation Army for them, the strong combat power could only show their momentary power? The grenades and grenades thrown at them were immediately blown down by the National Salvation Army.
"Boom..." More than twenty grenades and grenades exploded at the same time, and the black smoke instantly enveloped the surviving Japanese devils.
Grenades exploded in the air? Grenades hit the Japanese side and exploded? Flying fragments directly formed a steel storm above the Japanese heads? They did everything possible to reap their lives.
The explosion of the first round of grenades has not ended yet, and the second round of grenades has arrived one after another, continuing to hit the Japanese and explode, and then the third round...
As soon as the grenades and grenades were used, the soldiers grabbed their rifles and crawled out of the bunker, and quickly retreated away from the official road.
At this time, all the surviving Japanese devils were lying on the ground, begging the grenades falling from the sky not to hit them. No one expected that the National Savior Army that attacked them had retreated.
After the explosion on the official road stopped, the smoke of gunpowder dissipated a lot, and the National Salvation Army had already run to seventy or eighty meters away.
They all bent over, carried guns, and continued to retreat further away.
"Bageya Road, the enemy is about to run, shoot immediately..." A surviving Chang Cao shouted.
While shouting, he raised his rifle to shoot. A gunshot of "Bow..." sounded on the official road, and a national rescue soldier who was retreating not far away fell to him.
"Baoba..." Two gunshots rang out in Cao Chang's ears, and two more retreating soldiers of the National Savior Army were knocked down, and then no other soldiers were shooting around him.
Confused, he subconsciously turned around and then saw a terrible bloody scene.
More than thirty soldiers fell on the official road, and the road surface was stained with blood from everyone's flow.
Many soldiers did not even have a complete body left, either the upper body was blown away or the lower body was blown away, bright red flesh, broken limbs and broken arms, internal organs...splattered everywhere.
Several soldiers were seriously injured by blowing, and blood was everywhere on their bodies, screaming and squirming. Every time they moved, a blood mark would be left on the ground!
The two soldiers who just shot were not much better, and one of them had their legs broken...
"Bageya Road, why are our casualties so great? Are there any moves? I will shoot me and keep all the enemies who attacked us just now!"
After giving orders, the Japanese Chief Cao fired another shot at the retreating troops.
The precise shooting technique allowed him to easily hit a national rescue army that had retreated more than 100 meters away.
When he quickly pulled the bolt and was about to continue shooting, the retreating troops suddenly hid behind a ridge and continued to retreat under the cover of the ridge.
Losing the shooting target, Chang Cao could only put down his rifle with unwilling expression.
One kilometer away, the sudden gunfire also scared the captain.
The whole person seemed to have chicken blood injected, and he pulled out the command knife with a "swish..." and waved forward and shouted.
"The vanguard troops were attacked, we will kill them immediately, reinforce the vanguard troops, kill the enemy... and give it to..."
An infantry squadron in front of the squadron leader immediately took the order, and quickly held the rifle on his back in his hand, and marched quickly to the battlefield to reinforce.
The squadron leader followed closely and didn't want to miss this good opportunity to destroy his opponent.
But things went against my wishes. The main force had just run forward less than two hundred meters when it heard the gunshots. The gunshot stopped after a burst of explosions.
The squadron leader's first reaction was that the vanguard troops had killed the sneak attack troops, and he was even more excited. He wanted to rush to the battlefield now and see what the first result of his entry into pacification was!
The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
When there were less than a hundred meters away from the battlefield, a strong and pungent smell of blood and smoke came to my face. Then I saw a large number of soldiers coming up on the official road, and a soldier was dragging something in the middle.
The squadron leader's heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition appeared in his mind.
If the enemy who attacked the vanguard troops was defeated, their bodies should also be on both sides of the official road, not on the official road.
Now all the bodies are on the official road, and only one soldier is seen walking around. The bodies lying on the official road are probably vanguard troops...
The squadron leader became even more anxious and took two steps at a time, wanting to rush to the battlefield as soon as possible.
The closer you are to the battlefield, the stronger the bad premonition in your heart.
When there were thirty or forty meters, the squadron leader could already see their military uniforms clearly... exactly the same as his subordinates, which meant that they were the vanguard troops.
"How could this happen? Who made the vanguard unit like this?" The squadron leader roared in his heart.
Then he stared at Cao Chang who had just stood in front of him and asked: "What's going on? Why did the vanguard troops fight like this? Who attacked you just now? It seems that less than a minute that the two sides exchanged fire, so many people in the vanguard troops were defeated."
President Cao lowered his head and reported: "Report to the commander, the enemy who attacked us was hiding in the pile of straw next to the official road."
"They dug up the ambush positions in advance, covered them with straw, and suddenly launched an attack after we entered the pocket array!"
"The enemy must be equipped very well. Six light machine guns fired at us at the same time, and then threw grenades and grenades at us. After the attack, they retreated without any dragging on the water."
"We fought back to death and killed seven or eight people on the other side, and the remaining enemies ran away!"
The squadron leader looked around and knew that Chief Cao was talking nonsense, and continued to ask: "How many people do they have? In which direction did they run?"
After hearing this question, Cao Chang bent his head lower than before because of shame, and replied in a low voice: "About thirty people, we are running towards the village where we are going to attack."
"Nani?" The squadron leader showed an expression of shock on his face when he heard this.
His eyes quickly widened, staring at Chang Cao, and cursed: "More than 30 Chinese people have wiped out the vanguard troops. How is this possible? Are you pigs? No matter how difficult the battle is on the front battlefield, we will not suffer such a big loss!"
