I have to admit that the concealment effect of camouflage combat uniforms is really good. When the reconnaissance team of the little devils fired machine guns into the bamboo forest, they would never have thought that they were only about thirty meters away from them. , just lying on the ground were a whole company of Xuebing Army soldiers,
Still taking the three motorcycles as the leader, a group of Japs finally drove over. As the roar of the cars got closer and closer, the facial features of the Japs standing on the truck gradually came into view of the soldiers, and The two hanging butt curtains floating behind their helmets also became a joke used by the soldiers to relieve their tension.
A truck entered the shooting range, two, three... Zhou Jin silently counted, and when he counted to the tenth truck, he yelled loudly: "Hit." He jumped up, raised his hand to the sky, and fired.
"Pa." "Tat-tat-tat" "Uh-huh," gunshots and artillery fire started in an instant, "Boom." This was the loud noise caused by Larei, and more than a dozen mushroom clouds were scattered along the marching route of the little devil. It exploded one after another, swallowing up five trucks.
The Japs brigade that opened the way belonged to the 114th Regiment. The brigade leader was Major Uto Takehiko. Uto Takehiko was riding on a tall horse. While following the movement of the large army, he held up a telescope and looked around. I don't know why, but he always had something in his heart. I have a bad feeling. Although the slope where the bamboo forest is located in front is only two or three hundred meters above sea level, it is large enough. Behind it seems to be an endless sea of bamboo. It should not be a problem to hide tens of thousands of people in it, but given the surrounding They are all flat fields, and large troops cannot be hidden. Therefore, the Chinese can only use this slope to conduct small ambush battles. He analyzed this, but he didn't know why he couldn't calm down. Facts have proved that Yutu's The intuition is very accurate, of course, because I was still caught off guard, so this intuition seems to be very hindsight.
"Get out of the car and lie down." As expected of the commander of the elite Japanese army, Uto was not nervous when he encountered the surprise attack. Instead, he immediately made the correct tactical adjustment, "It's just an ambush. Fortunately, it's not a siege." Because. Only the sound of gunshots came from the bamboo forest in front, so Yutu could still keep calm enough. Later, when the chaotic Japanese army gradually restored order, he had time to think more about it, and added to his previous thoughts: What follows is Our large army, the Chinese want to surround us, it seems they have thrown themselves into a trap. The Chinese are not so stupid, right? Their top commander is Ouyang Yun, the empire's biggest enemy.
Ambush, raid, feint to retreat, lead the enemy into the Bamboo Sea, and then carry out cutting, encirclement or special attack operations according to the actual situation. This is the specific tactical arrangement of this unit that Zhang Minghua came up with after revising it according to the order of the general headquarters.
The headquarters' original intention was to conduct an ambush battle, but considering the limited strength of the 13th Brigade and the terrain restrictions of Guodaigou, Zhang Minghua decided to implement such a tactic after soliciting the opinions of other brigade personnel.
Zhou Jin, the leader of the 39th Regiment, faithfully carried out the brigade's order. When Zhang Minghua rushed to the front line with the guards, under the leadership of Zhou Jin, two battalions of soldiers from the 39th Regiment rushed down the mountain like tigers. Po, conducted a surprise attack on the Japanese army,
Amid the fire and thick smoke, a total of thirteen trucks of the Japanese army were beaten into scrap metal or disabled, and the trucks behind them had to stop because of the road obstruction. Under the first round of shelling, shooting, and landmines, a total of thirteen trucks were damaged. More than a hundred Japs confessed directly, and after experiencing the initial panic, the remaining Japs began to calm down under the command of some low-level officers, and began to jump out of the truck in an orderly and nervous manner, and build positions on the spot.
The 18th Division is one of the regular armored divisions of the Japanese army. Both the personal qualities of the soldiers and the overall tactical accomplishment are comparable to those of the cadet army. Although they were initially panicked due to the ambush, their combat effectiveness was reduced. There was a sharp decrease, but once they recovered, Zhou Jin and his brothers immediately felt the pressure.
One thing that has to be mentioned is that the little devils' marksmanship is very accurate. As long as they are given enough time, they can inflict heavy damage on the enemy. Fortunately, the 13th Brigade has all been equipped with the standard equipment of the Xuebing Army, and Because of its powerful firepower and disposable ammunition capacity of up to twenty rounds, the assault rifle also gave the little devil a chance to be suppressed by superior firepower.
Zhou Jin grasped the timing of the charge very well. Once the formation of the Japanese aircraft was disrupted, he immediately asked the sniper team to snipe the little Japanese officers who were holding pistols and even swords. At the same time, he asked them to focus on the machine gunners and the throwing weapons. cannon soldier,
After the first round of sniping, a dozen officers and machine gunners fell on the Japanese army's position. Next, the charge bugle of the 39th Regiment sounded. Zhou Jin took the lead, firing from time to time with a Wei Qing assault rifle. Sometimes a strafing shot would first pay attention to the Japanese soldiers who had chosen fortifications and were taking aim.
The reason why Zhang Minghua wanted to take a look in person was because he knew Zhou Jin's temper and was afraid that once he got addicted to playing and forgot to carry out the previous tactical orders, he did not follow the 39th Regiment to charge, but chose a relatively open place to stand. Picking up the telescope and carefully observing every corner of the battlefield,
A quarter of an hour after the ambush battle, a signal flare suddenly rose about five kilometers behind the battlefield. Seeing the flare, Zhang Minghua immediately issued an order for the 39th Regiment to leave the battlefield immediately.
The signal flare was fired by soldiers from the reconnaissance company directly under the brigade, and according to the agreement, this meant that large Japanese troops were coming.
At that time, Zhou Jin was leading several guard platoons to attack several Japs who were protected by a burning truck. Suddenly, his adjutant pulled him and said: "The regiment, the brigade is retreating."
"Ball." Zhou Jin was having a great time playing, but he couldn't hear anything.
The adjutant had no choice but to drag him and look towards the slope. Following the direction the adjutant pointed, Zhou Jin saw Zhang Minghua standing in an open space with only two guards. He immediately knew that Guy had retreated.
He is Zhang Minghua's old subordinate and is familiar with everything about the old commander. For example, today's scene means: if there is still one person in the 39th regiment who does not retreat, then Zhang Minghua will always stand there, and Zhou Jin can underestimate his own life and death. , but could not ignore the danger the old officer faced. He muttered harshly: "The hostel is here again." Then he helplessly shouted: "Brothers, retreat first."
The 39th Regiment attacked and retreated quickly, but the casualties they inflicted on the Yutu Brigade were astonishing. From the beginning to the end of the battle, in just twenty-five minutes, more than 200 Japanese troops were wiped out and three were injured. More than a hundred people, and the 39th Regiment itself only paid less than 200 casualties. If this ambush is classified as a battle, there is no doubt that the 39th Regiment has achieved good results, and if you have to find some flaws, then The firepower output of the regiment's heavy weapons is slightly insufficient. Of course, the reason is that this is a sacrifice that has to be made in pursuit of speed.
At this time, Uto Takehiko had just unified the entire team with the help of junior officers, and was about to launch a counterattack, but saw the enemy running into the bamboo forest like a rabbit. The little devil was immediately furious and cursed: "Sick man of East Asia! A guy who only dares to commit petty theft."
"Your Excellency, Captain, do you want to pursue me?" Squadron Leader Mori Shige and Dawei came over and asked,
Although Uto Takehiko called Xuebingjun the sick man of East Asia, he didn't think so in his heart. This battle lasted only a short time, but the power displayed by Xuebingjun had attracted his enough attention. First of all, Xuebingjun's weapons , it turned out not to be the so-called "shoddy work" provided by the intelligence department, and the quality of its officers and soldiers was not what the intelligence said was the so-called "rabble and lack of formal training". This unit was no better than they had encountered before in terms of combat methods and morale. The national army that arrived was an elite division like the imperial army. With this awareness in his heart, Yutu did not dare to pursue lightly. He just said: "Let's wait until the large army comes up. The Chinese are very cunning and pursue alone." It’s a big taboo.”
Under the command of Zhang Minghua, the 39th Regiment quickly hid in the bamboo forest. However, what made him depressed was that the arrogant Japanese army did not launch a pursuit.
"Maybe it was too painful to beat the Japanese just now." Faced with the host's doubts, Zhou Jin speculated,
"No." Zhang Minghua denied his view. As a professional soldier from Whampoa Military Academy, he knew the Japanese very well. He said: "It seems that the Japanese captain below is a character. Old Zhou, do you have the confidence to fight again?" Raid.”
"Now."
"Yes, but I only give you five minutes. Once the five minutes are over, your troops must retreat immediately to prevent being bitten by the Japanese army. I will let the mortar battalion cover you."
"Okay, man, no, I just thought it was not enough." Zhou Jin responded and quickly gathered the troops. Soon, they returned to the previous ambush position.
On the Japanese army position, under the command of some officers, the little Japs were rescuing the wounded, carrying and counting the dead officers and soldiers. Suddenly, with the unique "empty, empty..." sound of the mortar, Uto Takehiko immediately shouted: " Lie down and take cover."
He just finished shouting, "Hey," the sound of grenades breaking through the air was heard. After a while, more than a dozen grenades landed at the place where the Japanese troops were concentrated just now, and then exploded with a "rumbling". Although the little Japs were able to carry out the attack in time, In order to evade, more than ten people were still unable to escape and were killed on the spot. As for the injured, more than 30 people were injured.
"Ba Ge, despicable Chinese people." Uto Takehiko saw that this round of shelling actually caused him to almost lose a squadron. He hated it so much that the Chinese people actually chose to make a surprise attack while our army was rescuing the wounded. This Not only did it violate the samurai spirit, but it also violated the Geneva Convention. It was really shameful. But he didn't want to think about it. When they did whatever they wanted on Chinese soil, burning, killing and looting, did they ever consider the so-called samurai spirit and the "Geneva Convention"? Geneva Convention,
After a round of rapid fire, the mortar battalion of the 13th Brigade quickly moved its position. Just after Takehiko Uto cursed the Xuebing Army viciously, Zhou Jin shouted again and led the team to rush towards the Japanese position.
Only then did Yu Tu know the real purpose of the Xuebing Army's round of shelling. The Xuebing Army dared to attack again after being repulsed once. It was really too much to bully others. Did they think the Imperial Army was a weak brigade that could be ravaged at will? , he was so angry that he shouted "eight grids" again, then waved his command sword and ordered the whole army to launch a counterattack. Considering that the large army was not far away from him, his specific order was: bite this Chinese army and must completely annihilate it. They were completely annihilated,
