Captain Suzuki just inferred from common sense that if there were Chinese soldiers ambushing or resisting, the location of the town entrance of Zhoujing Lane must be very good, because the ambushers could effectively protect themselves with the buildings, and at the same time use the open terrain at the town entrance to open fire to the Japanese army.
To cause greater damage.
Therefore, when Hashimoto Squadron reported that there was no ambush or resistance, Captain Suzuki was completely relieved of his worries.
However, how can the special operations of the National Defense Forces be treated with common sense?
Although good ambush terrain is beneficial to the ambush party, the enemy will also be on guard. An ambush in a place that seems unsuitable for an ambush can surprise the enemy. If in a large-scale offensive and defensive battle, the enemy will be advantageous.
Terrain is definitely the first choice, but in this kind of ambush battle with dozens of people, it will be more effective to catch someone by surprise than to occupy a favorable terrain.
"Da, da da..."
"Boom boom boom..."
Captain Suzuki didn't feel relaxed for five minutes. The continuous gunshots and grenade explosions in Zhoujing Lane suddenly exploded like festive firecrackers.
"Baga, what's going on?" Suzuki lifted the telescope that had been put down again.
"Ding-ding-ding-ding..." The phone at the temporary command post rang.
"Report, Suzuki-kun, Hashimoto and Matsushita squadrons were ambushed in the town!" the signal soldier reported immediately.
"Despicable China Army! Tell Hashimoto and Matsushita to stand up! Black Mountain Squadron, immediately outflank Zhoujing Lane! Heavy Machine Gun Squadron, immediately provide fire support to Hashimoto!" Suzuki issued orders continuously.
Generally speaking, Japanese military officers all graduated from regular military academies, and their military quality was quite high, at least much higher than that of the Chinese army at the same time in history. However, in this war in parallel time and space, what they encountered was the special situation eighty years later.
Super-age troops trained by combat experts. Only the Japanese army who directly fought against the Lightning Troops could understand the power of these super-era troops.
The two Japanese squadrons that entered the alley faced a sudden attack. No matter what methods they adopted, they could not avoid the fate of being beaten.
Comparing marksmanship? The marksmanship of these ambushers is basically a headshot at a distance of about a hundred meters!
Comparing weapons? The main weapon of the Japanese army is the 38-gun. This single-shot rifle has a long range and stable performance. It has certain advantages in field operations. However, the opponent has a flower machine and a weapon similar to the flower machine.
A continuous-fire rifle; the Japanese fired one bullet, and the opponent could fire five or more bullets.
Comparing tactics? The Japanese army followed a step-by-step approach and fought effectively; while the attackers were elusive and moved from place to place. A half-opened and half-closed window could suddenly shoot out a string of bullets; a wall with a height of two people could suddenly shoot out a string of bullets.
A grenade flew out!
Lieutenant Hashimoto was very lucky. When he was ambushed, he happened to encounter a small Jiangnan courtyard. He led a small team to hide in the courtyard, preparing to fight a protracted battle with the attackers. Hashimoto entered the courtyard before he could see clearly what the courtyard was like.
Suddenly, five grenades flew out from a room. Hashimoto was so frightened that he quickly fell down. "Boom..." the Japanese troops who had no time to hide were blown up until they howled like ghosts!
However, before Hashimoto raised his head from the explosion of grenades, he saw five Chinese soldiers wearing strange military uniforms, each with a flower trap in their hands, sweeping toward the staggering Japanese troops in a fan-like pattern! And Hashimoto,
He could only watch helplessly as the soldiers of this team were annihilated, because Hashimoto was shot first, and he was shot in the chest. Although he was not dead for the time being, the short time was only enough for him to clearly see the situation in front of him.
Compared with Hashimoto who saw the face of the attacker clearly, Lieutenant Matsushita's luck seemed to be even worse. Because, in the first wave of attacks, his head was blown off by a sniper. Fortunately, this way of death was not possible.
any pain.
"Boom, boom, boom..." The Japanese heavy machine gun squadron finally came up. After a burst of blind shooting, Zhoujing Lane became silent again, without even the shadow of a bird.
"Baga, what on earth is going on?" Suzuki, escorted by the last squadron, finally stepped into the land of Zhoujing Lane. However, what he saw was blood and blood covering a distance of 300 meters between the two streets.
Corpse.
Of course, both blood and corpses were left behind by his men. For the Greater East Asia Holy War, two squadrons of Japanese troops stayed on the land of Zhoujing Lane.
"..." No one could answer Suzuki's question. Because everyone alive heard the gunshots in Zhoujing Lane and the fierce battle between the two sides, but no one even saw the heavy machine gun squadron that arrived first.
Any trace of a Chinese soldier.
In fact, when the Japanese heavy machine gun squadron moved up, the Japanese infantry of the two squadrons had been completely wiped out. If Zhu Xian didn't lead his men to evacuate Zhoujing Lane at this time, would he still have to fight with the Japanese heavy machine gun?
"Report, our squadron entered the town from the side and found no trace of the Chinese Army." At this time, the Black Mountain Squadron finally completed the "outflank".
"Order: Kasahara Koji Squadron and Montenegro Squadron search forward in the direction of Wuxi. The search distance is three kilometers. The heavy machine gun squadron and the artillery reinforcement team are responsible for the defense of Zhoujing Alley! Correspondent, quickly send a message to Captain Watanabe Ichiro and request tactical guidance!"
, Suzuki had no better idea. From the beginning of Abbot Bay to the occupation of Zhoujing Lane, two complete squadrons had been lost. It was inevitable to be insulted or punished by the commander of the company. Suzuki could only hold his nose and admit it.
Because two Japanese squadrons had been completely wiped out in Fangzhang Bay, Zhoujing Lane and other places, after withdrawing from the village, Zhu Xian did not fully follow the pre-arrangement to conduct a comprehensive ambush on the Japanese army.
led to the countryside farther away, but Montenegro and Kasahara Koji performed quite well and did not pursue too far. In this way, Zhu Xian's harassment only caused the loss of more than ten people to the Japanese army, and because they were in the suburbs,
The sight distance was good. Zhu Xian's fourth brigade also lost one soldier and two other soldiers were injured.
Fortunately, all these actions have achieved the expected goals. Zhu Xian believes that the Japanese army will feel very at ease when they live in Zhoujing Lane.
Half an hour after Suzuki occupied Zhoujing Lane, Ichiro Watanabe led the regiment to Zhoujing Lane. At the same time, he deployed two brigades to the left and right of Zhoujing Lane to prevent the attack of the Chinese army.
Suzuki was slapped and turned into a pig's head by Ichiro Watanabe, which was just an episode.
As soon as the Japanese troops deployed to both sides of Zhoujing Lane, Zhu Xian laughed. Because the Japanese army's vigilance showed that they would use Zhoujing Lane as a temporary military station or headquarters.
At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, Tsunetaro Yamada, commander of the 63rd Brigade of the 32nd Division, arrived at Zhoujing Lane with the 126th Regiment, and at the same time sent another brigade out to the direction of Wuxi to warn the Chinese army.
After 6 o'clock in the evening, the commander of the 32nd Division, Lieutenant General Tomidi Fourth Floor, led the division headquarters to Zhoujing Alley. After listening to Yamada's report, he decided to stay one night in Zhoujing Alley and report to the National People's Congress in Wuxi on time at 6 o'clock tomorrow morning.
Launch an attack on military positions.
At this time, plumes of smoke rose from the Zhoujing Lane occupied by the Japanese army. It was the Japanese soldiers who had arrived first and were cooking. They had to go to bed early after the meal because the attacking troops would leave in the direction of Wuxi at 4 o'clock in the morning.
By 10 o'clock in the evening, all troops of the 32nd Division, including Major General Kuroshima Teiji of the 64th Brigade, artillery regiment, baggage regiment, engineer regiment, cavalry regiment, etc., all arrived at Zhoujing Lane.
Of course, Zhoujing Lane is just a small town, and it is impossible to house so many people at once. Among them, Kuroshima Teiji’s 64th Brigade lives in a large village called Dongnao Village about one kilometer away from Zhoujing Lane.
inside.
Dongnao Village was naturally one of the battlefields of Zhu Xian's mine warfare. However, his initial estimate was not sufficient. He thought that the Japanese army could at most occupy a brigade of troops in Dongnao Village for security purposes. Who would have thought that a brigade would actually be accommodated in Dongnao Village?
group.
Zhu Xian's mistake was mainly related to the fact that he had never led a large army and did not know much about the Japanese army's rules. Otherwise, he would never have taken it for granted that Zhou Jingxiang would live in a Japanese division.
In fact, in normal times, even if Zhoujing Lane is used as a temporary camp, only one brigade can be accommodated at most, and it will definitely not be filled with artillery, engineers, baggage, cavalry and other regiments.
When camping for combat troops, at least the baggage, ammunition and personnel must be separated, and a certain safe distance must be ensured in between. Otherwise, without the enemy attacking, even a spark from one's own people may wipe them all out.
Because of this, Zhu Xian's layout in Dongnao Village was designed to eliminate a Japanese army brigade. In many relatively minor places, no landmines were laid at all.
Of course, this kind of mine warfare is very passive. How many enemies can be eliminated in the end depends on God's will.
At 0 o'clock in the morning at the latest, the last light in Zhoujing Lane disappeared into the darkness.
In fact, the lights in Zhoujing Lane have not yet been extinguished. In a deep house in a compound, Lieutenant General Tommidi, the commander of the Japanese 32nd Division on the fourth floor, is still reading the day's telegrams, summaries and friendly force communications under a few candles.
.
As he watched, the fourth floor of Tommidi frowned at the loss of the 125th Regiment Suzuki Battalion this afternoon. The fourth floor of Tammidi frowned not because he lost hundreds of people in an ambush, but because he was ambushed four times.
, not even a single corpse of the Chinese army was left behind.
Thinking of the China Army intelligence provided by the Front Army Headquarters, the fourth floor of Tammidi couldn't sit still: Could it be that the special operations force of the China National Defense Force, which is far away in Fujian and Guangdong, has arrived at the Shanghai-Nanjing front line? If this force really has arrived, then it is not ours.
The division should be careful and report this information to the front army headquarters in a timely manner.
Thinking of this, the fourth floor of Tammidi immediately asked the chief of staff to inform Captain Watanabe and Captain Suzuki. If this situation is not implemented, how can the fourth floor of Tammidi sleep?
…
On the bank of a river about 5 kilometers away from Zhoujing Lane, Zhu Xian and several of his squadron leaders were sitting on a small boat. There were also no lights on the small boat. The other special forces members were either sleeping or on guard outside. In winter,
At night, not even a frog sounded, and the dark and quiet night was a bit depressing.
However, the people on the boat all had bright eyes open and were not sleepy at all. If you notice their breathing, you will feel that these people have a suppressed excitement.
"How long has it been?" Zhu Xian suddenly asked after a long time.
"1 o'clock in the morning." Correspondent Qiu Yimo turned on the miniature flashlight and quickly glanced at the watch on his wrist.
"Order: The detonation team will detonate in 10 minutes! Li Qiang's team outside Zhoujing Lane immediately withdrew to a safe distance and was responsible for observing the effects of the explosion!"
"Yes!" Not only Qiu Yimo, but also the other three squadron leaders immediately stood up and replied.
The fourth brigade of the Lightning Troops moved to the Kuomintang-controlled area. They worked hard for nearly ten days, just waiting for this shocking explosion!
