Chapter 140: Crossfire
Adjutant Ono motioned for the penny to dock the boat.
Maeda Takeshi immediately led the war horse to the big ship.
Okawa Sanada said in an unkind tone: "Maeda-kun, what's going on with your Hayahara-squad?" ”
"Hello!" Maeda Yi paused, "Sir, at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, we had already started from Zujiahama and went to the assembly area to meet the 3rd Baggage Brigade, but when we arrived at the scheduled assembly point, we did not find the 3rd Baggage Brigade, so we immediately sent signal soldiers to search in all directions, but we never found it. ”
Okawa Sanada said with some embarrassment: "This blames me, we got lost halfway." ”
"Hello!" Maeda Yi paused again, "Later, our squadron leader also guessed that the 3rd Baggage Brigade should be lost, so he sent me to search east along the small river, and sure enough, I found it." ”
"Yo Si." Okawa Sanada said, "So now, where is your Hayahara's squadron?" ”
Maeda Takeshi stretched out his hand and pointed ahead, and said, "Just rest and wait by the river bank in front." ”
……
About a kilometer ahead.
The 367th Regiment is making final preparations.
More than 10 Type 92 heavy machine guns, plus more than 30 crooked-handled light machine guns, have been erected on both sides of the river, forming an ambush position with a length of more than 500 meters.
These more than 40 light and heavy machine guns were captured by the 367th Regiment in previous battles.
The fly in the ointment is that there is not much ammunition for each machine gun, just half a base!
Half a base ammunition reserve will last two minutes if the fire is at full power!
There is no way to do this, now the 367th Regiment is living a life of war after all, relying on capture to maintain it, such a situation is already very good.
Of course, if you can defeat the devil's baggage troops in front, the situation will be different immediately, and the days of the 367th Regiment will immediately become rich!
"Heavy machine gun crew, check the camouflage one last time!"
"Light machine gun crew, check if there is still oil in the oil pot!"
"All infantry groups, take out all the melon grenades!"
Zhong Yi kept reminding while inspecting the position.
Yang Chen said with some concern: "Ah Yi, is the machine gun position too far ahead?" ”
Zhong Yixuan's machine gun position was almost next to the river, at most more than ten meters apart!
He Ajiu also nodded and said, "Yes, it's too close, and it will be discovered by the devils on the ship!" ”
"Don't worry, you can't find it!" Zhong Yi waved his hand and said, "Haven't you heard that it's dark under the lamp?" ”
"It's dark under the lights?" Yang Chen and He Ajiu looked at each other blankly, what the hell?
Zhong Yi said: "The so-called darkness under the lamp means that when there is a strong light source in the dark, the human visual system will be affected by the strong light source, and the perception of the scenery around the light source will be significantly weakened. ”
After a pause, Zhong Yi pointed to the bonfires in front of him again, and said with a smile: "With these bonfires here, we are dancing on the bank of the river, and the devils on the boat may not be able to see it." ”
He Ajiu said: "As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens." ”
Yang Chen also said: "Yes, wouldn't it be a pity if it was exposed?" Why can't you go back fifty meters? ”
Zhong Yi was a little impatient, and immediately turned his head to Li Ruoxi and said, "Li Ruoxi, you told Battalion Commander He and Battalion Commander Yang, why can't you retreat fifty meters?" ”
"Because of the terrain!" Li Ruoxi said, "If the machine gun position retreats fifty meters, there is no way to condescend and form a crossfire network, and the devil can use the slope on the bank of the river to confront me!" Our army has insufficient ammunition reserves, and once it reaches a stalemate, defeat is inevitable! ”
Yang Chen and He Ajiu were immediately speechless.
Because there is indeed a slope on both sides of the river, although there is only a drop of less than two meters, it will still be used by the devils, and if the machine gun position is pressed to a close distance of less than ten meters from the shore, you can condescend and hit the slope on the opposite bank, so that you can form crossfire, and the devils on the ship will have nothing to hide!
At this moment, the fleet in front of it moved forward again.
Yang Chen said, "It seems that Instructor Zhu has already succeeded!" ”
Zhong Yi nodded, and said, "Instructor Zhu has already succeeded, and it's up to us next!" ”
Speaking of this, after a pause, Zhong Yi shouted again: "It's all there, according to the original plan, act!" ”
In addition to Liang Feng's 4th Company and Hu Qing's 5th Company, who disguised themselves as devils to rest on the shore, the 1st Battalion, the 3rd Battalion, and Guo Weiquan's 6th Company quickly entered the ambush positions on both sides of Xiaohebang, and the bolts of the Type 92 heavy machine gun and the crooked light machine were quietly pulled apart.
……
On the small river, the devil's fleet is getting closer and closer to the ambush position.
In the firelight, you can vaguely see the devil struggling to brace the penny.
At this time, it had not been long since the Tenth Army landed from Jinshanwei, so the divisions were still strictly implementing Yanagawa Heisuke's order: mountains, rivers, grass and trees, all enemies!
The implication is that all men and women, young and old, will be killed!
Because of this, the devil's baggage soldiers have to work hard to support the penny.
At the bow of the big boat, Okawa Sanada is chatting with Zhu Liangcheng, who is disguised as Takeshi Maeda.
But even if it is small talk, Okawa Sanada will habitually give Zhu Liangcheng a set.
"Maeda-kun, you're from Miyaki Prefecture, but why do I think you seem to have a Tokyo accent?"
"Is there one?" Zhu Liangcheng was stunned and said, "My mother was married in Kansai, and I grew up in my maternal grandparents' house when I was a child, so I can speak with a Kansai accent, but I didn't have time to go to Tokyo." ”
"Really? It seems that I misheard. Okawa Sanada no longer had any doubts in his heart.
As he spoke, the Hayahara squadron, which was resting by the river ahead, was clearly visible.
In the firelight, I saw more than 100 officers and men of the Hayahara squadron lined up in a neat queue and sat on the ground.
Zhu Liangcheng took the opportunity to say to Okawa Sanada: "Sir, I have to go back and report to our captain." ”
"Yo Xi!" Dachuan Sanada immediately signaled the penny to prop the boat to the shore, and before the big boat was completely docked, Zhu Liangcheng jumped onto the shore with the reins of the horse, and then turned around and raised his rifle at Okawa Sanada.
Seeing this, Okawa Sanada's brain crashed instantly, what is the situation?
The next moment, a red flame burst out from the muzzle of Zhu Liangcheng's gun!
Then, Okawa Sanada had an extra blood hole the size of a chopstick's head on his forehead, and he fell straight back.
"Yaga!" Adjutant Ono's pupils instantly contracted sharply, and he roared in a hissing voice, "Shina spy!" ”
However, before the words fell, the bewitching muzzle flames had already bloomed from both sides of the river, and with the second bloom of the muzzle flames, one dazzling ballistic trajectory after another had swept over! This dazzling and brilliant trajectory was instantly intertwined into a large net, enveloping more than a thousand little devils on the ship!
