Chapter 762 Unskilled ambush battle (two chapters in one!)
The secret camp prepared by the independent camp was in a ravine. Tan Fei followed Instructor Tang to turn left and right, and wandered around the mountains for two hours before reaching his final destination.
The guards blocked the mountain pass, and even when the king came, he could not notice that there were more than 700 national-savior troops hidden in the ravine.
Instructor Tang was very excited. When he led the way, he specifically learned about the situation of the National Salvation Army.
Not only is the military strength more than twice that of the independent battalion, but the weapons and equipment are even better.
Heavy machine guns, mortars, mountain cannons, what do you want?
The Independent Battalion has been in the Yuan family for more than half a year and has gradually developed from a company.
Although the total force has been expanded to more than 300, the equipment has not improved much, and many soldiers have also fought against the Japanese and puppet troops with earthy guns and cold weapons.
It is no longer the early days of the War of Resistance.
At that time, the Japanese did not understand the Eighth Route Army, and the focus of the attack was not on the Eighth Route Army. They even looked down on the Eighth Route Army a little bit, and often opposed some very low-level mistakes in underestimating the enemy in front of the Eighth Route Army. Although the Japanese at that time were veterans of a hundred battles and were very powerful, because of the existence of these mistakes, they created a large number of fighter jets for the Eighth Route Army.
Now that it is not possible, the focus of the Japanese army in North China has long shifted to the Eighth Route Army.
After hearing that there were some activities of the Eighth Route Army, they rushed over from all directions with hungry wolves who smelled blood, hoping to kill the Eighth Route Army in its bud and not give them a chance to grow.
The Independence Battalion faced this problem at the beginning of its establishment. After learning that the Eighth Route Army was going to develop a base in Yuanshi County, the Japanese and puppet troops in the county immediately built artillery towers and strongholds around the Independence Battalion to prevent the Eighth Route Army from expanding outward.
The independent battalion was not equipped with heavy weapons, and even light weapons were seriously insufficient. It was helpless in the face of the Japanese and puppet troops' stronger reinforcement and strong bases. It could only use guerrilla warfare to deal with the Japanese and puppet troops entering the base area, seizing one or two rifles and some bullets...
So in half a year, the equipment of the Independent Battalion only increased by less than one hundred rifles and two or three light machine guns.
Even these rifles may not be good. Almost half of them were third-hand goods seized from the puppet army, and the rifles of many rifles were almost smoothed.
As for heavy weapons, I was lucky to capture a thorn when I fought the Japanese, but there was no tripod.
Perhaps this is the reason that the Japanese army mistakenly believed that the machine gun had been blown up and was not taken away when retreating. In the end, the heavy machine gun could only be cheaper for the independent battalion.
However, the equipment level of the independent battalion has not been improved much by the addition of this heavy machine gun.
Although everyone made a temporary tripod with wood, the independent battalion did not have heavy machine gun bullets.
I finally got three or four hundred supporting bullets, but the battlefield was not heavy enough to shoot a machine gun for one minute.
Therefore, this heavy machine gun has always been hidden by the independent battalion as a treasure. To put it bluntly, it is a decoration and will never be used unless it is absolutely necessary.
Along the way, Instructor Tang was very jealous when he looked at the excellent equipment brought by the National Salvation Army.
I was already full of concerns about the arrival of the National Salvation Army, and felt that they could not conquer the Japanese and puppet army strongholds even if they came, and could not help them too much.
Now that my thoughts have changed, I wish I could take them to the vicinity of the Japanese and puppet army strongholds immediately.
After arranging the troops, instructor Tang quickly found a map of the deployment of Japanese and puppet troops in Yuanshi County!
"Captain Tan, there are several Japanese and puppet army strongholds within 20 kilometers around us. With your equipment level and combat effectiveness, it should be easy to take them down! Otherwise, we will use these strongholds tonight!" Instructor Tang pointed to several strongholds on the map to introduce them.
"Sir, the Eighth Route Army attacking us is equipped with at least three light machine guns and a local cannon. The main forces of the independent battalion should have come!" Seeing the garrison leader hurried over, Commander Cao on duty immediately expressed his judgment!
The team leader looked outside through the shooting hole and made his own judgment: "Two days ago, I heard that the independent battalion was in short supply of ammunition and could hardly hold on."
"If I'm right, they should be eyeing our stronghold and plan to replenish some supplies and ammunition from us!"
"Dongdongdongdongdong..." As soon as the captain finished speaking, a dull sound of heavy machine gun shooting sounded outside the stronghold.
The captain raised his eyebrows and became more convinced of his judgment just now: "The Independent Battalion only has a heavy machine gun, and there are not many bullets. Tonight they even deployed heavy machine guns, and they must want to conquer our stronghold in one fell swoop."
"Notify all soldiers in the stronghold to participate in the battle, block the attack of the Independent Battalion at all costs, and drag them outside the stronghold."
"I will call the captain for help now. This is an excellent opportunity to annihilate the Independent Battalion. We dragged the main force of the Independent Battalion outside the stronghold. The captain sent troops to surround the outside. The two troops attacked inside and outside, and they would definitely kill all the Eighth Route Army in the Yuan family!"
The Dongmafang stronghold is the stronghold that Tan Wei will really attack tonight, and it is also the stronghold that the Japanese squad leader is about to ask for help.
At this moment, except for dozens of Japanese and puppet troops who were fighting to sleep and on duty in the stronghold, all the remaining Japanese and puppet troops fell asleep.
"Report to the commander, the Beiwang Village stronghold was attacked by the Independent Battalion, and request reinforcements!" The voice of the second lieutenant on duty suddenly sounded at the gate of the captain.
The captain reacted very quickly. He sat up from the bed, quickly put on his military uniform, opened the door and walked towards the war room not far away.
The second lieutenant on duty followed him closely, and while walking, he introduced: "Sir, the Beiwang Village stronghold has just called, and the main force of the independent battalion is attacking them, and even heavy machine guns and local cannons have been dispatched!"
"They hope that we will immediately send troops to encircle the rear of the Independent Battalion, attack the main force of the Independent Battalion inside and outside the stronghold garrison, and take the opportunity to eliminate them!"
The captain was very happy: "It's great. Since the Independent Battalion came to Yuanshi, our good days have never returned. Every time we go out to collect grain and carry out tasks, I am afraid that the Independent Battalion will be fired coldly."
"Although we sent troops to sweep them many times, these Eighth Route Army soldiers are too cunning. They always see their heads but not their tails. They can slip away before we surround them and let us pounce on them."
"This time they took the initiative to attack and hit us in the gun, saying that they could not let them escape again!"
"I'm sending my order: the first team of the Imperial Army, the second team, the mortar team, and the heavy machine gun team, and the first company of the Imperial Army, immediately set out with me to reinforce Beiwang Village!"
"The remaining troops stay at the stronghold. No matter what accidents they encounter, they cannot leave the stronghold. Be sure to wait for me to come back!"
"The attacking troops gathered immediately and brought enough weapons and ammunition!"
"The Eighth Route Army is too cunning and will slip away when the situation is not good. Maybe after the assault war is over, there will be a pursuit war. If the war is halfway through, it will be hit!"
The gate of the stronghold was quickly opened, and nearly 300 Japanese and puppet troops rushed out in a mighty manner and headed straight for Beiwang Village.
At the same moment, two figures suddenly flashed out in a bush less than 300 meters away from the gate of the stronghold, and soon disappeared into the vast night like a ghost.
An hour later, two people who were taking the path appeared on a deserted slope and panted and climbed up the top of the hill: "Captain, the Japanese have been dispatched. Except for a hundred puppet troops, the remaining nearly two hundred people are all Japanese. They are equipped with three mortars and two heavy machine guns. They marched quickly to Beiwangzhuang. They should be able to get here in twenty minutes!"
After hearing this, Tan Fei laughed: "The army is ready for combat, strive to kill the 300 Japanese and puppet troops who have come here for a while within ten minutes, then go straight to the Dongmafang stronghold, and continue to work hard to take it down together!"
Under the cover of the Independent Battalion, the Japanese army did not receive any news about the National Salvation Army entering Yuanshi County.
Now the main force of the independent camp is gathered at the Beiwangzhuang stronghold and wants to take it down in one battle. There is no other hostile armed forces in Yuanshi County that can threaten their own safety.
With this idea, the Japanese and puppet troops who reinforced Beiwangzhuang were not at all wary.
Not only did they not send scouts, they also marched all the way to kill Beiwangzhuang, fearing that the Independent Camp would retreat early after receiving news of reinforcements from the reinforcements.
The official road in Beiwangzhuang ahead walked along the foot of the mountain, and Tan Fei led his troops to ambush on the hillside on the side of the official road.
Nearly 300 Japanese and puppet troops rushed into the pocket formation without any preparation, and they must have been stormy bullets.
Ambush is the best way to fight the National Salvation Army. Any platoon leader who can find a platoon leader knows how to arrange firepower to cause maximum damage to the enemy.
As the captain of the National Salvation Army's garrison, Tan Fei was even more troublesome to ambush.
As soon as the 38th bulge in his hand sounded, the Japanese lieutenant who was walking in the front of the team fell down.
"Dongdongdongdongdong..." The dull strafing sound of heavy machine guns sounded halfway up the mountain at the same time.
Four heavy machine guns shot out four thick machine gun fire tongues together, and the bullet rain instantly covered the gunners and machine gunners in the middle of the team!
More than 20 light machine guns also joined the battle at this moment. Their shooting targets were more than 100 Japanese infantry, especially machine gunners, grenade launchers, officers hidden in the middle of the infantry... They were all killed in the first round of fire raids. When many people died, they didn't even know where the opponent was hiding, and they were directly beaten into sieves.
The captain was carrying a commanding knife on his waist, and followed four or five subordinates and guards, which was very conspicuous.
As soon as he entered the encirclement, he was targeted by two light machine guns at the same time!
After the attack began, they suffered no less than thirty bullets in just three seconds.
At first, the two guards wanted to use their bodies to block the bullets for the captain, but the bullets flying towards them were too dense. Before the person could move, they were beaten into a sieve with the captain!
"Crash! Kill all the Japanese, and the puppet army surrenders and don't kill..." The sound of the offensive troops shouting and killing quickly sounded on the battlefield.
Nearly two hundred Japanese, less than fifty Japanese survived the first round of fire raids, but were then suppressed to the ground by more than twenty light and heavy machine guns.
The puppet army suffered very little casualties, but they could not raise any courage to resist when facing the national-savior army that rushed towards them.
The National Salvation Army has too many light and heavy machine guns on the hillside, so its powerful firepower is not enough to kill if it is aimed at it.
The opponent concentrated his firepower to attack the Japanese and did not shoot at them, obviously trying to leave them a way out.
If you don't appreciate it and raise your gun to fight back, you will definitely be massacred...
No one wants to die, especially the traitor who works hard for the Japanese to survive.
Facing the opponent rushing out from the hillside, the puppet soldiers were just as they agreed, and they all hugged their heads and lay on the ground, throwing their rifles aside, and posing as if they were not threatening!
The battle went very smoothly. Looking at the messy battlefield in front of him, Tan Fei did not show too much smile on his face.
In his opinion, such an ambush battle has no level. As long as the ambush troops have strong firepower, no matter how strong the Japanese are, they will be beaten into sieves.
Looking at his subordinates who were immersed in the joy of victory, he calmly ordered: "The guards stayed to clean the battlefield and guard the prisoners. Others followed me to attack the Dongmafang stronghold. The correspondent immediately rode a horse to inform the Independent Battalion, let them evacuate the battle, and marched quickly to other strongholds in front to reinforce the Dongmafang stronghold. Set an ambush."
"When the Independent Battalion passed by here, it supplemented the captured 79-caliber weapons and bullets with the Independent Battalion, and gave them a heavy machine gun, three boxes of heavy machine gun bullets, five hundred grenades and grenades!"
"Even if the mortar is gone, they don't have artillery yet, so they will be a decoration if they give it. When there are artillerymen, they will be given two mortars and join the heavy machine guns to form a fire platoon!"
