"***You little devils, you are finally here. I am so tired of waiting." After a long wait, the Japanese helmets and the small flags on the rifles finally appeared in the telescope in the distance, and the Japanese soldiers crouched in the trenches.
Sun Dacai gestured to the machine gunners on the left and right. There was a sound of pulling the gun and loading the ammunition. The mercenary machine gunners hidden in the trenches were ready to fire at any time, and the ammunition handlers opened the spare ammunition boxes.
The cover ensures that you can supply ammunition at any time.
The Dongjiujiu ambush line is just a general term. In fact, it is not an ambush line in the true sense. In James’s words, the Dongjiujiu ambush line arranged by Zhao Zhi is not an ambush line, but a real ambush position with the characteristics of
It is a position of active attack and passive defense. How long will it take for this to happen?
All the Japanese civilians there have been driven away. The fields where crops were supposed to grow are full of ashes after fires. Just under some of the ash piles, Zhang Jinquan's elite snipers are hidden. As long as they are given a sniper rifle
With the addition of silencers, the soldiers of the 23rd Division could not detect them at all.
More than 300 meters away from the road is Thunder's machine gun position, behind it are grenade launchers, mortar positions, and finally the mountain artillery and 92nd infantry artillery positions operated by Zhao Zhihe's command staff. The entire ambush position already looks like a whole body.
It's sharp
The prickly hedgehog will hurt whoever touches it. Sun Dacai is the commander of the Thor minigun position. They have a range that exceeds that of the light machine gun and are placed behind and on both wings of the Japanese light machine gun position. However, there are still some Japanese weapons mixed among them.
92 heavy machine gun.
Since it was an ambush, there needed to be a bait. Ten minutes before the 23rd Division entered the ambush circle, Sun Dacai and the others waited for the bait. Zhao Zhi transferred a thousand-man mixed force from Kurume. American military uniforms, German style
Steel helmets and cowhide military shoes are the standard equipment for mercenaries and taxis in mixed units.
The soldiers have long been extremely envious of the mercenaries' equipment. Now the opportunity has come. Not only did the command give them the same equipment as the mercenaries, but the weapons are also the same. There is only one mission, along the command line.
They blocked the 23rd Division section by section on the route demarcated by the headquarters until the headquarters gave an order allowing them to retreat.
Garand rifles, Browning light machine guns, and American mortars made these guys who originally belonged to the Thai National Defense Force extremely rare. They had long seen the mercenary methods and had an inexplicable trust in American weapons. They thought that the Japanese army used
The 38 rifle is no match for American weapons, Huanran
But no one among the new mixed soldiers was worried about whether they would survive the pursuit of the 23rd Division. "As long as the main force of the 23rd Division can be defeated, it is cost-effective to give up some weapons and equipment." Seeing the weapons and equipment being distributed,
The staff officer had a look of pain on his face, and Zhao Zhi couldn't help but laugh.
According to the original ambush plan, 1,000 mixed soldiers who had changed their uniforms had to first establish two interception lines of defense in Dongdu. After exchanging fire with the forward troops of the 23rd Division, they had to persist for more than half an hour before heading towards Saga.
Retreat. In order to motivate these mixed soldiers to fight to the death with the Japanese army, Zhao Zhi promised that those mixed soldiers who could return to Saga alive would be promoted in rank, and the 30 with the highest military merit among them would be allowed to retire and go home early.
The temptation of rising in rank cannot be compared with being allowed to go home early. The mixed soldiers who landed on Kyushu Island all received varying amounts of property. If they want to enjoy the wealthy life brought by these spoils during their lifetime, the prerequisite is that they must return to their hometown alive.
Zhao Zhi believes that with this temptation, he can start from more than 300,000 mixed editors
This thousand-man team selected from the soldiers must be able to persist outside the ambush line for more than half an hour according to the ambush plan. The longer the decoy troops persist, the more Japanese troops will be intercepted by the interception line. When the decoy troops retreat,
, a large number of Japanese troops would swarm into the fire range of the ambush position.
Just like the original plan, the mixed soldiers who entered the interception position did not fire at first. After the vanguard team of the 23rd Division entered the fire range of the light machine gun, the concentrated fire of the three Browning light machine guns only lasted one round.
All the vanguard squads of the 23rd Division were left in the wilderness outside the interception position. By the time the follow-up troops of the 23rd Division launched a mortar bombardment, these mixed soldiers pretending to be mercenaries had already retreated into the artillery holes.
Tsukuihara, who commanded the 64th Regiment, had already surpassed the inexperienced division commander Hirota Ume and summoned the 71st and 72nd infantry regiments to move closer to the 64th Regiment in an attempt to attack Saga as a group. The new division commander of the 23rd Division was a reliable one.
close
He is a guy who has climbed to a high position. Compared with Tsukuihara, the senior commander of the regiment, division commander Hirota Ume seems to be much immature. Faced with the matter of Tsukiihara overstepping his authority to command the other two regiments, division commander Hirota Ume
I can only respond with a wry smile.
Even with Shakuihara's overreaching command, Zhao Zhi's ambush at Dongguan could have succeeded. Facing the swarming three Kwantung Army regiments, the mixed soldiers in the first line of interception defense could only hold out for ten minutes.
Withdrew to the second line of defense. "Ignite" the mercenary officer commanding the second line of defense gave the command in a deep voice. Several bazooka rockets were driven out of the trenches by the mercenaries accompanying the team, dragging their tail flames and rushed into the first line of defense a hundred meters away.
In the defense trenches.
"Whew!" First some black smoke rose up, and then the sky was filled with fire. The Japanese troops who were about to invade the trenches were blocked by the fire from outside the first line of defense. "Click, click, click, click" and suddenly there were gunshots in the second line of defense.
The noise was loud, and the decoy troops not only poured oil on the first line of defense,
, and flammable materials were piled up, and the kilometer-long first line of defense was now completely engulfed by fire. As time passed, the Japanese soldiers who were blocked by the fire filled the trenches with the corpses of their companions, and finally rushed through with murderous intent.
The trenches of the first line of defense rushed towards the second line of defense.
"Fire!" the artillery commander of the 64th Regiment shouted, taking out his command knife and swinging it hard. The large and small caliber mortars of the three regiments all gathered together to bombard the machine gun fire points on the second line of defense. The smoke was splashed with the sound of the cannons.
The sun was almost covering the sky. The mixed soldiers in the trenches were squatting in the artillery holes with their heads held in their hands. The mercenaries accompanying the team had withdrawn, leaving behind only soldiers from the decoy unit. Before the order to retreat came, some of them
No one can retreat early.
The officer who led the command of these decoy soldiers was counting the time almost second by second. After repelling the attacking Japanese army with full firepower three times in a row, the order to retreat finally came. The thousand of them had intercepted more than half of the 23rd Division.
Hours. "Throw a grenade." Finally you can
After retreating, the more than 600 surviving decoy soldiers threw out all the grenades they brought, and then prepared to use the smoke after the explosion to withdraw from the battle. Unfortunately, the mixed soldiers were not soldiers of the regular army after all, and the grenades thrown out by them
Most of the grenades just fly out
At a distance of several meters, amidst the series of explosions, the Japanese soldiers charging towards the grenades were only 30 meters away from them.
Even bullets fired from pistols are lethal at a distance of 30 meters, not to mention the Type 38 rifle with increased accuracy. More than 600 people who had withdrawn from the position of the decoy troops only escaped a hundred meters away before they were shot from behind.
The bullets knocked down half of them. Seeing that the enemy troops were retreating in panic, before the search troops could start searching the two wings of the site, Tsukuihara ordered the follow-up troops to pursue them and rush forward. The anxious Tsukuihara planned to catch up to Sasa in one go.
Congratulations.
Watching the locust-like Japanese troops pass under his nose, Sun Dacai's palms in the middle of the ambush line were already sweating. He was not afraid, but he was excited before the war. The mercenaries who could be left by Zhao Zhi were all Baidu.
Selected elites,
Sun Dacai, who was selected to command the Thunder God Team, experienced almost all the battles of Thunder. During the Taiyuan offensive and defensive battle, Sun Dacai's mercenary team was the first to invade Taiyuan City. Sun Dacai shot the Japanese with a Japanese 92 heavy machine gun.
There are more than a hundred puppet troops.
The bullets had already been loaded, but Sun Dacai was not in the firing position and ready to fire. As the commander of the Thor team, Sun Dacai was squatting in the ditch at the moment. Zhao Zhi's officer in charge of logistics failed to bring the flare across the sea with him despite all the calculations.
.Without signal flares, the order to ambush and fire could only be given by walkie-talkie. At this time, Sun Dacai was holding a walkie-talkie and waiting for the order to fire.
The gunfire was still going on, but it was much sparser. The number of decoy soldiers being chased by the Japanese army had been reduced to 0. I don’t know what happened to the officer leading the team. After crossing a slope, he ran up
The out-of-breath decoy soldiers chose to turn around and resist. The only Browning light machine gun that had not been discarded was set up on a high point on the slope. The other soldiers using Garand were scattered around the machine gun.
The gunfire that burst out instantly from the 0 Garands smashed the arrow triangle in the Japanese formation into a flat angle.
"Da da da da da da" The Browning light machine gun was connected with two bullet belts, and the flat angle was beaten into a concave shape. The opponent's instant burst of combat power made the Japanese unable to resist and stopped the pursuit. I have always heard of Thunder
Takuihara was full of tricks, and he was also afraid of falling into Thunder's trick. However, after two consecutive attacks by the forward troops, it was already certain that the number of enemy troops on the other side would not exceed 0. Takuihara finally made a decision that he would regret for the rest of his life -
-----Ordered to bombard the high ground in front.
When the 23rd Division bombarded the interception position previously, Thunder's artillery observers did not lock on to the 23rd Division's artillery position, but now the 23rd Division had entered the ambush position, and Thunder's artillery observers immediately locked on the Takuihara's artillery position.
The coordinates of the artillery position have been sent back to the command headquarters. According to the flight speed of the fighter plane, in less than 2 minutes, the aerial bombs falling from the sky will blast the place marked by the observer into a crater.
Just by pressing the firing button of the machine gun, Sun Dacai's Thor machine gun can cover the mortar position of the 23rd Division. Unfortunately, he has not yet received the order to fire, so the anxious Sun Dacai can only do the same as other mercenaries in the trenches.
Acting as a bystander, watching the decoy soldiers on the top of the slope fall one after another under Japanese artillery fire.
