Chapter 93 Take a breath(1/2)
Hashimoto Okuo had been feeling uneasy since the phone call to the Haojiagou gun tower was cut off.
He had always suspected that there was a pair of big hands controlling both himself and the Haojiagou gun tower. He suspected that the rescue force he sent out, even if it was a night march, was expected by the other party.
But the personnel had already been dispatched, and even if he wanted to ask that team and the two companies of security forces to withdraw, it was impossible.
Portable radios are now only equipped to the brigade, and he is only a squadron, and the one he sends out is only a small team.
Even if he could contact the dispatched team, he could not ask his team to retreat and abandon the Haojiagou gun tower stronghold because it was under attack and had already called for help.
If the commander directly under him did not go to the rescue, he would bear a great responsibility.
But now he is worried that even if troops are sent out to rescue, the rescuers may not be able to save the strongholds as well as the rescuers.
Now he can only pray that the small team he sent out will be more cautious and not be ambushed, because their current enemy is a master of ambush.
However, Hashimoto Ohiro never worried that Oyu Township would be attacked by the enemy.
…
Zhang Dabiao had already assembled a battalion, but Li Yunlong didn't go this time. After all, a regiment leader couldn't lead one person out all day long.
So Zhang Dabiao had to go, and he led a battalion all the way to the Haojiagou gun tower stronghold.
However, he did not come here to take part in the night, but carefully waited for dawn from a distance. He was not sure who would recognize whom in the night battle.
"Battal Commander, something is wrong!"
Gu Wei, deputy battalion commander of the First Battalion of the New Regiment, came over and said to Zhang Dabiao: "Our place is less than two kilometers away from the Haojiagou gun tower, but it's not like we can't hear the sounds of fierce fighting here!
But when we first arrived, we could hear the sound of several machine gun rounds.
But this style of play is too weird!
And we have been waiting for this hour. Where are the Japanese soldiers who came out of Dayou Township?
Why didn't you get into trouble with the death camp?
It’s too quiet!”
Zhang Dabiao thought something was wrong: "Where is Zhou Qiang, the reconnaissance platoon leader?
Call him over to me!"
Zhou Qiang quickly ran over: "Batalion Commander!"
Zhang Dabiao frowned and asked him: "You have good eyesight. Let's take two people to touch it and see what's going on!"
Just when Zhang Dabiao asked the reconnaissance platoon leader to take people to check the situation, the person Chen Shanhe was waiting for finally arrived.
If it was daytime, the ambush might not be that easy.
But at night, everything becomes simpler.
You just need to know when he will arrive and what the formation will look like.
Yes, the Japanese and puppet troops also marched in formations.
If you are on a large highway, the distance between one car and another car is regulated. It is necessary to ensure that when one car is attacked, the other car will not be affected and there is still time to react.
On the mountain road.
The marching formations of the Japanese and puppet troops are also stipulated. The distance between their small squads is greater than the marching distance between squads.
As for the puppet army, the requirements are actually not that strict. After all, the Japanese don't really care whether they die or not.
Instead, the puppet troops were attacked. If you help them lure out the enemy, the situation may be better.
I was worried that there might be landmines or ambushes on the road.
The captain of the Japanese squad, Naoto Futo, ordered one company of the puppet army to open a road 50 meters in front, and the other company to cover the rear 50 meters behind the Japanese squad.
Since it was a rescue mission, they did not have time to be careful, so they marched by running.
Nito Naoto has been in the military for two years since he came out of school, and his position has been promoted from special agent commander to lieutenant officer. During this time, he has killed countless people.
In addition, he is the captain of the first squadron of Hashimoto Squadron and the deputy squadron commander of Hashimoto Squadron. He was promoted so quickly because of the battles he participated in. He has more battles and more experience than other officers.
This is why Hashimoto Ohiro felt relieved to let him lead the team, otherwise Hashimoto Ohiro, who has a keen sense, still can't decide whether to go for reinforcements.
Although Nito Naoto asked two companies of the security army to run forward as a small group with them in front of each other, he still felt uneasy.
Especially when he saw people at the front and end of his team holding flashlights, he realized where this uneasy feeling came from.
"Give all the flashlights to the security forces in front and tell them to be careful if they encounter an area where they are easily ambushed!"
Although the rescue mission was extremely urgent, Naoto Futo was extremely cautious.
After passing several terrains where he could easily be ambushed, he finally felt relaxed. He had been on duty at the Haojiagou gun tower several times and he still remembered the route.
Except for these few terrains where it is easy to be ambushed, the other roads are quite wide and not so easy to be ambushed.
Therefore, after walking through several sections of road that he thought were more dangerous, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief. Since there were no ambush in these dangerous sections of road, it was almost safe.
But they didn't expect that there would be someone waiting for them on the flat roadside not far away from the dangerous section.
"The battalion commander really had the foresight. When the Japanese passed through those dangerous sections, they all walked in separate directions!
Obviously, there was no time to search to see if there was an ambush nearby, and I was worried about someone ambushing me, so I sent the people over in batches.
This is a good idea. If we don't gather together, if we ambush the attack, they will have time to react and abandon their soldiers to save the car, which will lose the meaning of the ambush!"
Sun Tiansheng felt that his battalion commander was a genius in fighting. Although he could not remember what happened in the past, it did not prevent him from being a genius in fighting.
If the young marshal hadn't entered the customs at the time, he would definitely be able to be reused by the young marshal's side, and he would also have some confidence in conflicts with the little devil.
It won't be like this situation now.
Of course he also knows that this is his wishful thinking!
He sighed, if only the old commander was still here!
"Keep your voice down, it's night now, there's no other sound in this valley except their footsteps, and the sound of shooting here can be heard two miles away!
When we talk here, believe it or not, even if we are relatively quiet, if their footsteps are not mixed in, our voices can still be heard 100 meters away!"
Chen Shanhe said in a low voice.
Sun Tiansheng also lowered his voice: "But the Japanese are too cunning to separate the queues like this!
The landmines we planted cannot completely cover them all!
We don’t know which ones are Japanese and which ones are puppet troops!”
Chen Shanhe was confident and whispered: "Listen to their footsteps!
The one who is messy and panting heavily is the puppet soldier. The one who is relatively neat and doesn't pant too loudly must be a Japanese soldier!
The Japs' physical fitness and training are much better than we imagined, so this kind of running forward is not too much of a burden for the Japs.
But for the puppet troops, it is quite uncomfortable!
So as long as you hear someone with messy and impetuous footsteps, and loud breathing and gasping, it must be the puppet army!
One person's breathing may not be loud, but if a company of puppet soldiers gasps loudly at the same time, the movement of the Japanese army will be much smaller than that of the puppet soldiers.
Therefore, our goal is to wait until the troops with little movement pass our mines before we pull the string!
I dare say that regardless of whether he is a Japanese soldier or not, his combat effectiveness is the most powerful among this group of people!"
He told Sun Tiansheng in a low voice, and then looked at the group of people running by from his camouflage position with burning eyes. He waited for the group of people in the middle of the queue to pass over the arranged mines before he pulled the string fiercely.
Amidst the explosion, other veterans of the death camp also suddenly pulled up the mine cables in their hands.
The brief firelight flashed away in the darkness, and what was shot away were the gravels specially laid above the mines.
Under the power of the explosion, there is not much difference between the fragments of a gun and an artillery shell!
"Flare!"
A pale light lit up in the sky, and the remaining puppet troops who had barely recovered from the big explosion in the middle of the road were all exposed to the pale light of the flares.
As for the Japanese army, a small group of fifty or sixty people were killed by the explosion. Those who were not killed and those who were too close were stunned by the tragic explosion.
If they were a little far away from the explosion point and were not hit or stunned by the explosion, they had quickly made tactical evasive actions due to the explosion and hid in the favorable terrain they could see.
However, all this was invisible under the illumination bombs. The illumination bombs in the sky were slowly falling. Everyone in the death camp, amidst the big explosion, began to shoot at all the remaining Japanese and puppet troops.
Chen Shanhe was holding a grenade in his hand, and Du Xinghua squatted next to him and handed him another grenade loaded with grenades.
Under the illumination bomb, any exposed Japanese and puppet soldiers who came close would have a grenade dropped in the crowd.
The battle was not difficult. After Chen Shanhe blew up all the Japanese and puppet troops who were close together, he put on his rifle.
It’s already the third flare.
After all, before the ambush, we had already predicted how the enemy would react after being attacked, and we finally made arrangements.
Finally, before the third illumination bomb went out, no Japanese soldier could still hold a gun, and no puppet soldier dared not lie down.
But in fact, there are not many puppet soldiers still alive, and the Japanese soldiers who are still alive are gone.
The battle started in the lightning and flint, and it also ended in the lightning and flint.
"Remember I taught you how to clean the battlefield without taking prisoners!
