Chapter 2468 The first battle was won, and the Japanese army entered the trap!
When Sato, Yamada and Takahashi were still shocked by the power of the mine formation, the three old Japanese devils were still shocked by the power of the explosion. On the west side of them, behind the hillside that was not suitable for ambush, there were suddenly sounds of gunfire like rain.
It turned out that Long Qianyan, following the command of Dragon Boat Festival, decisively commanded the reserve troops to launch a second strike on the remaining Japanese soldiers in the mine formation after the mine detonation.
These Japanese and puppet troops were either killed or injured in the mine formation explosion, or exploded into concussion pigs.
And if you don’t pick up such cheap things, you won’t pick up anything, not to mention that the Dragon Boat Festival is not just that.
So in the tranquility moment after the explosion, Long Qianyan led his troops to attack suddenly.
Although in the team, except for a few experienced veterans such as Long Qianyan and Mute, most of the new recruits are still unfamiliar in shooting skills and are almost unable to hit targets two hundred meters away.
But at this moment, their number became the biggest advantage. More than 300 guerrillas fired at the same time, and coupled with the machine guns in the hands of several veterans, even if they were closed, several Japanese and puppet troops would hit the bullets themselves.
The Japanese and puppet troops, who had not yet come back to their senses during the explosion, seemed a little helpless under the sudden attack. They tried to organize an effective counterattack, but their brains were not at all obedient.
The concussion pig just now said, is not a simple irony, but after the huge explosion sound, even if the person is still alive, his head cannot think like a normal person at this time.
They have become living targets for guerrilla recruits to practice guns.
At the same time, the bombing of the grenade launcher also joined the melee.
The guerrillas trained a lot of artillery this time, and apart from artillery, many veterans or smarter recruits would use this thing.
Otherwise, the entire guerrillas would not have been equipped with thirty grenade launchers.
Grenade launchers have more advantages in jungle combat than mortars. First, they are easy to carry. Second, they are easier to obtain ammunition. If the Japanese 50 mm shells are exhausted, they can use the Type 91 grenade instead of the shells.
Therefore, in order to train guerrillas to use grenade launchers skillfully, Dragon Boat Festival also took great pains to do so.
But his efforts were not in vain. Eight grenade launchers were probably more powerful than the shooting of three hundred people.
With the deafening explosions, the Japanese and puppet troops were in chaos.
Colonel Sato, Yamada and Takahashi finally woke up from their shock.
Anger flashed in his eyes, but they finally understood that the guerrillas in front of him were not as weak as they had imagined before. They were all a group of scattered soldiers, but a main force with strict organization and excellent equipment.
Their combat effectiveness and tactical qualities far exceeded his expectations. Although it seemed that their shooting skills were still not very good.
Seeing this, Colonel Sato laughed, and he found the enemy's weakness.
The enemy's marksmanship is very average, and it is difficult to cause too much trouble to his troops at a distance of more than 200 meters.
At this time, his vanguard troops were still suffering from the explosion they had just encountered.
Just give them some time and this battle can be turned around at any time.
And their enemies are not as many as they imagined.
Thinking of this, Sato immediately ordered: "Order an infantry team to reinforce in front of me, and build fortifications on the spot to stabilize the position first."
An infantry squad quickly stepped forward, and they bent and ran quickly towards the vanguard, and bullets flew around their heads.
And if it is false to say that the Japanese are not panic at this time, they are also afraid.
But they had no choice. They would die if they violated their superiors' orders on the battlefield.
But this was too scary. The enemy's bullets seemed to be avoiding them, but just when they felt relieved, the bullets either flew over their helmets or hit them in front of them.
Some of the Japanese even were frightened and cursed: "Baga, if you want to fight, just hit it right. This scary thing will scare people to death."
But the next second, a bullet hit his forehead unbiasedly.
It was obvious that Long Qianyan gave him a peanut.
Long Qianyan's shot scared the Japanese so much that they didn't dare to scold them anymore. They got out and dug fortifications.
At the same time, the old Sato Japanese devil ordered again, and he ordered the third infantry squadron of Sato's brigade to penetrate the south side, trying to break through the guerrilla defense line from the flank; while the first Yamada squadron was ordered to wait for the opportunity to prepare to encircle from the north side of the enemy.
The Japanese soldiers quickly passed the orders of Colonel Sato to all units. All the Japanese and puppet troops took action.
And at the same time, Colonel Sato looked at the empty guards and decided to draw the other three squadrons of Yamada's brigade from behind.
The enemy's sudden attack caused great losses to his Sato brigade, with at least nearly two squadrons suffering heavy casualties in the previous mine formation explosion.
Moreover, he observed that the number of enemies seemed to be less than those in intelligence, and was worried that the other party would suddenly launch a surprise attack on his temporary command center to launch a beheading operation.
This is a very common tactic on the battlefield. If the enemy is strong and we are weak, it is the best choice.
So after sending out all the nearby Japanese troops, Sato's brigade was worried that his command center would be attacked, so he drew infantry from Yamada's brigade to reinforce and protect his temporary command center.
The two old Japanese devils Yamada and Takahashi also agreed very much, after all, their lives are more important. Yes
Subsequently, Sato ordered Takahashi's artillery brigade to speed up the marching speed, allowing them to arrive quickly and launch artillery bombardment on enemy positions.
However, the marching speed of artillery is obviously not comparable to that of infantry.
When the infantry had approached the temporary command, the Japanese's baggage and artillery units were still far behind, at least one kilometer away from them.
Despite this, Colonel Sato was not worried about the safety of the baggage and artillery units.
After all, they have a huge team - nearly 500 artillery brigade, nearly 300 baggage troops, and thirteen trucks of various models. Such strength is enough to discourage any small enemy.
In Colonel Sato's view, the main force of the guerrillas was fighting fiercely with him, and they could not have the spare energy to attack his baggage and artillery units.
After all, it's a team of 800 people! Even if they are all pigs, the guerrillas will have to kill for a while, right?
Moreover, the distance between his main force and the baggage force is less than one kilometer at most.
