Chapter 823: The First Shot
Sakai Yoshishi took the risk of giving up the search operation, commanding the whole squad to rush forward, this way to call, they fought too smoothly, the resistance of the Anglo-Burmese army and the Anglo-Indian army along the road did not cause much casualties to Sakai Yoshi's people, hit the bank of the Biaoguan River, after the entanglement and ideological struggle, Sakai Yoshishi finally chose a quick assault!
He wanted to occupy a bridgehead on the north bank of the Biaoguan River and plant the military flag on the bridgehead on the north bank.
Sakai had never led troops before attacking Burma, and his victory in Burma gave him his first taste of leading an officer, and with the poor performance of the Anglo-Burmese army as a catalyst, Sakai Yoshi's fighting spirit overshadowed the caution and reason in his mind.
In this way, the forward infantry squad of Sakai Yoshishi formed a battle formation and continued to assault at full speed along the road, and the Biaoguan River Bridge was getting closer and closer, and it was getting closer and closer to the position of the first battalion and one company of the second regiment......
……
"Platoon commander, someone is here!"
Lieutenant Li Xubin, the platoon leader of the first company lurking on the west side of the road, received a reminder from the platoon around him, and through the cracks in the grass, he also saw the figure of the Japanese army on the road that was gradually getting bigger and more numerous, Li Xubin spit out the grass roots in his mouth, and slowly picked up the Thomson submachine gun.
"Platoon, give the order to the whole platoon, prepare to fire!"
In the ambush position on the west side of the road, the grass and trees trembled, and the soldiers of the company and the platoon hidden under the camouflage raised their guns one after another, and moved with the Japanese troops on the road, and the company and the platoon were placed alone on the west side of the road by the commander of the company, Captain Zhang Xitong, who was closer to the Japanese army than the main force of the company, and in the predetermined tactics, the first shot would be fired by the company and the platoon.
"Platoon commander, it's all ready to open fire at any time."
Li Xubin nodded, put his shoulder against the butt of the gun, and whispered to the platoon.
"Platoon, tell the brethren that grenadiers and grenades are not allowed to fire, only rifles, light machine guns and submachine guns are used, and I will fire if I let them fire, and I will withdraw if I let them withdraw, and they are not allowed to fight."
The platoon attached the meeting and conveyed Li Xubin's supplementary order.
With the current strength of the first company, it is more than enough to eat the forward team of Sakai Yoshi, and it is very simple, but Zhang Wei's tactical purpose is not to kill them, and the current company is strong and strong, and it is in an ambush state, not to eat this Japanese squad, but it is a difficult job, not only to kill them, but also to attract them, the technical level is really not small.
As he spoke, the Japanese squad on the highway was less than 200 meters away from Li Xubin's platoon, which happened to be within Thomson's maximum effective range.
Li Xubin raised the muzzle of the gun again, in order to attract the Japanese army, he made the decision to fire in advance, in order to achieve Zhang Wei's tactical goal, Li Xubin thought that he must not let the fire in.
"Ready!"
"Hit!"
Li Xubin pulled the trigger, and a string of 11.43 mm rifle bullets flew out in response to the sound and flew towards the Japanese troops, and a row of companies on the west side of the road instantly burst out with fierce fire, and a row of 79-step machine gun bullets and 11.43 mm submachine gun bullets shot at Sakai Yoshi's team.
This is the first shot, a shot to supplement the second regiment, and the first shot after the Chinese army entered Burma!
Even though the fire was fired in advance, the sudden attack still caused considerable casualties to the Japanese squad.
The Japanese striker Wu Liu, who rushed in front, fell on the road at the moment of the gunshot, and was beaten into a sieve by the dense submachine gun bullets, and the 11.43 mm bullets smashed on the people, and the first hit was a bloody hole, and there were several Japanese soldiers who were hit in non-vital parts, and the ghosts cried wolves in pain on the road.
If it hadn't been for the advance fire of the platoon, the casualties of the Sakai squad would have doubled, and the Japanese troops in the assault were suddenly attacked, and there was a brief confusion.
Sakai Yoshishi subconsciously crawled on the road, and more than ten meters in front, he witnessed the forward Wu Chang who had just reported to him falling in a pool of blood, Sakai Yoshi's heart suddenly remorseful, and he found that from the beginning of the war to the present, it seems that it is rare to encounter such a sharp ambush.
"There are enemy troops! Lie down and spread out to fight back! Yoshishi Sakai yelled.
After being attacked, the Japanese troops of the forward squad quickly dispersed, turned down the fields on both sides of the road, and after a short period of confusion, they rushed to the position of Li Xubin's platoon.
"Boom"
However, as soon as the assault of Sakai's infantry squad began, a dense stream of mortar shells fell on both sides of the road, covering Sakai's infantry squad.
"Put!"
On the main ambush position of the first company located in the east of the road, the squad leader of the 60 artillery squad directly under the first company and Xue Rong, the leader of the special service platoon on the Bren tracked car not far away, shouted the order to shoot at the same time, and four 60-millimeter mortar shells and three 82 mortar shells were discharged at the same time, and they landed on the attack path of the Sakai squad on the left and right sides of the road.
After Li Xubin's company and platoon fired, the main force of the company also opened fire.
Once again, Sakai lay on the ground beside the road, and this time, he was still unharmed, except for a mouthful of dirt and shrapnel shrapnel from mortars. During the shelling, his squad lost at least one more detachment.
"Yaga!" Yoshishi Sakai scolded.
However, this time he did not dare to continue to launch a counterattack.
"Defend in place, don't mess up, shoot!"
"Dadada"
The Sakai squad's crooked light machine guns began to fire, and the grenadiers were also preparing to fire, and a platoon of 65 machine gun shells hit the position of Li Xubin's platoon.
……
"Let's go! Stand back and get on the truck!"
Li Xubin, the leader of a platoon of a company, finished firing a shuttle of bullets, turned out of the single soldier pit, and ran towards the forest behind the side of the position, and the same was true for the platoon of soldiers, who left the fortifications of the ambush position one after another, and retreated to the rear under alternate cover, where Burmese trucks were on standby.
The Sakai squad stagnated in place, and the fire was fierce again, and Li Xubin's platoon quickly broke away from the battle and disappeared from the sight of the Sakai squad.
"A platoon withdraws, so do we! The 60 artillery and grenadiers fired a salvo, informing the platoon commander Xue to prepare for cover, and the whole company was ready to retreat! ”
Captain Zhang Xitong, the commander of the first company, said loudly.
"Retreat! Get on the truck! ”
"Gone! Stop it! ”
The infantry of the first company stopped firing one after another, and like the first platoon, retreated to the woods in the rear, leaving only the 60-gun squad.
……
"Four volleys, ready! Put! ”
After the infantry of the first company entered the forest, the squad leader of the 60 artillery squad waved the red flag, and the four 60 guns fired a salvo at the Japanese army.
The leader of the artillery squad looked at the barrage that exploded on the road in the distance with satisfaction.
"Let's go, carry the cannon, let's withdraw too!"
……
Two minutes later, the soldiers of Sakai's squad, who were firing at the main ambush position of the company, saw a scene that stunned them.
More than a dozen American-style trucks painted with the military insignia of the British and Burmese army rushed onto the road, driving at full speed, and at the end there were three British Bren tracked vehicles, and the long convoy drove along the road until the Biaoguan River Bridge, rampage, all the way back to the north bank.
Only the tracked vehicle at the end retreated, firing with mortars and light machine guns, and exploded a barrage on the road next to Sakai's team......
Less than ten minutes after the battle, silence returned to the south bank of the Biaoguan River, leaving only a group of grizzled and stunned Japanese soldiers......
