Chapter 138 The reconnaissance company shows its power
On the road leading from Du Village Stronghold to Shidu Town.
The Tucun stronghold is in Choko County. Although it is near Shidu Town, it is not under the jurisdiction of Kamesaburo Kawada. After communicating with the garrison in Choko County, the enemies of the Tumun stronghold reluctantly sent reinforcements.
That's right, they are just reluctant. Although they are all little devils, they are not monolithic internally. Changzi County belongs to the defense area of the 108th Division, and Anze County belongs to another mixed brigade. The two sides are not in the same battle order.
The most important thing is that the Changzi County defense area is the area where the Eighth Route Army operates, and it is usually harassed by the Eighth Route Army. On the other hand, Anze County is the activity area of the Jinsui Army. You usually get along with the Jinsui Army. Look at my excitement.
This time it's your turn to have trouble in Anze County. I count on the garrison in Changzi County to actively provide reinforcements. Don't dream about it.
On the avenue, about a small group of Japanese troops lined up in four columns, led by more than two hundred puppet troops, who were walking leisurely.
The reinforcements were jointly dispatched from several strongholds around the Ducun stronghold. It took an hour to gather and the personnel arrived.
A three-wheeler was driving on one side of the team, and sitting behind it were two little devils with the rank of second lieutenant.
"Senior, don't we need to speed up the march?" Nagayama Kazuki frowned and asked, looking at the slow marching speed.
"Yongshan Jun, please be patient. You have only arrived in China not long ago. You don't understand the situation here, nor do you know the strength of the Eighth Route Army." Hisao Oyama glanced at this young man who was eager to make meritorious deeds.
Although the two of them are on the same level, Nagayama Kazuki always calls him senior and his attitude is very respectful. Hisao Oyama is still happy to give this young man a heads up.
"Since the Eighth Route Army had the guts to attack Shidu Town, it must have been carefully planned. With the Imperial Alliance Army in the town alone, Shidu Town is probably in danger." Hisao Oyama didn't show the slightest worry on his face, but was rather gloating about his misfortune.
What does the fire in your backyard have to do with me? It's enough that I don't laugh at you.
"Senior, what about our reinforcements this time?"
"If Anze's garrison reinforcements are timely, perhaps Shidu Town will not be captured by the Eighth Route Army. Even if Shidu Town is captured by the Eighth Route Army, the Eighth Route Army will withdraw after the battle. They will not occupy Shidu Town, otherwise it will cause a riot.
The counterattack of the Japanese Imperial Army was not worth the gain in the eyes of the Eighth Route Army, which was good at guerrilla warfare. They only looked at the weapons and equipment of the Imperial Army, and it happened that Shidu Town became a soft persimmon." Hisao Oyama analyzed clearly.
"There must be an Eighth Route Army ambush on the road leading to Anze!" Hisao Oyama said, pointing to the road ahead.
"Nani? Senior!" Yongshan Kazuki looked around in panic.
"Haha, don't panic, our warriors from the Japanese Empire can't be stopped by just Tubal Road!" Hisao Oyama said arrogantly.
In the three years since the war began, both the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese Army have figured out the tactics of both sides.
The words are divided into two parts.
"Are the group leaders and chiefs already in place?" Dong Jiang asked.
"We're all here, all we have left is the Japs." A soldier from a reconnaissance company reported.
"Great, this is the debut of our reconnaissance company. You are all elites selected from each company. I won't go into the specific details of the battle. I emphasize what I said before, don't fight to the death with the little devils.
, we must give full play to our advantages, hang them with kites, and take care of the little devils first." Dong Jiang said, looking at the soldiers of the reconnaissance company in front of him.
When Zhou Weihan of the New Second Regiment gave lessons to the key personnel many times, he emphasized that priority should be given to attacking artillery, machine gunners, and Japanese officers on the battlefield, especially on small battlefields.
The ones who charge at the front are usually high-level Japanese officers. For the entire battlefield, killing him is not of great value, but it will easily expose the position of the sharpshooter. If the artillery and machine gunners die, there will be one less fire support point.
The Japanese reinforcements from Changzi County had already arrived in Anze.
Hisao Oyama, who was sitting on the side three-wheeler, raised his arms and shouted: "Stop the march!"
The entire march suddenly stopped, and Wang Degui, the puppet battalion commander in front, ran over in a hurry: "Taijun, what are your orders?"
"Where is that place in front of you?" Hisao Oyama asked, pointing to the mountain ridges not far ahead on both sides of the avenue.
"Taijun, this is already in Anze County, and I'm not very familiar with it either!"
"Baga, you, take the people to the front to clear the way and see if there are any Eighth Route Army soldiers!"
Wang Degui's face turned pale after hearing this, thinking that the damn Japanese are asking us to fend for them first, and then said: "Taijun, the Eighth Route Army is attacking Shidu Town, how can there be any troops to ambush us?
!”
"Baga, are you going or not?" Hisao Oyama took out a Southern Type 14 pistol and put it against Wang Degui's head, and said sternly: "If you don't go, you're dead."
Hisao Oyama, who was chatting and laughing with Nagayama Kazuki not long ago, changed his previous amiable senior appearance, and his face was full of ferocity.
Wang Degui did not dare to look at Hisao Oyama at this time. He lowered his head and was still struggling in his heart. He only heard the sound of a gunshot.
Suddenly he felt a wet and hot liquid on his face. Wang Degui touched it with his hand and found that it was red with white, and his stomach was churning.
He looked up and saw that Hisao Oyama, who had just been forcing him to step forward to explore the way, now had half of his head missing. He did not dare to look directly at the bloody scene.
Yongshan Kazuki on the side seemed to be frightened, and there was some white liquid on the corner of his mouth.
Sooner or later, the clever Wang Degui pulled Yongshan Yimu down from the lower three wheels and shouted: "Taijun, there is an ambush!"
Nagayama Kazuki's face was full of panic and he was at a loss. He had not yet recovered from the attack just now. The commander of the Jaap reinforcements this time was Hisao Oyama. He was just here to increase his experience and experience.
The little Japanese sergeant on the side looked at Nagayama Kazuki with contempt, and directly issued an order: "The enemy is in the northwest direction. The first squadron leads the Imperial Army to attack from the front, and the second and third squadrons outflank them from both sides."
After hearing the order, the Japs immediately divided their troops into three groups. The three machine gun groups also set up their machine guns and fired a burst at the hilltop on the northwest side.
On the top of the hill, Dong Jiang glanced at Thief Jiu who fired the gun, but said nothing.
"Company Commander, this old devil must have discovered something. We won't lose if we kill him." Thief Nine said.
"Hit" Dong Jiang gave the order as he saw the little Japs approaching.
There was a burst of gunfire, and the machine gun that had been raging just now was picked up by the sharpshooters of the reconnaissance company and killed the machine gunner at the right time. Even several assistant shooters could not survive.
The three mortar teams mounted on the reverse slope also adjusted their muzzles at this time and fired three salvos, directly hitting the Japs' grenade position.
In just two or three minutes, in the first wave of competition between the two sides, the enemy's firepower was basically wiped out.
Not to mention the little devil, Dong Jiang was also shocked by this result. He knew that the reconnaissance company was not weak, but he didn't expect it to be so strong.
Think about it carefully and compare the number of people and equipment. The Japanese army has more than 50 people and the reconnaissance company has about 80 people. The Japanese army is equipped with three grenade launchers and three light machine guns. The reconnaissance company has three 60-meter mortars and the same three light machine guns.
Machine guns, and a large number of flower traps.
With superior numbers and equipment, the quality of the personnel is no worse than that of the Japs, so it is normal to achieve such results.
