Chapter 514: Catching the Fish (Page 1/1)
On the Nanbin Highway, the re-starting Takeda Brigade marched forward with high morale, infantry platoons, automobiles, baggage vehicles, and artillery, lined up in turn, and attacked in the direction of Kunlun Pass with great momentum.
After occupying the position of the Teaching Brigade, the Takeda Brigade continued the attack operation almost without rest, and re-embarked on the road to Kunlun Pass. Although the process of capturing the position of the Teaching Brigade was somewhat strange, it greatly boosted the morale of the Takeda Brigade, and it had the momentum of attacking Kunlun Pass in one breath and relieving the siege of friendly forces.
After a long morning, it was almost time for lunch, during which Takeda only let the troops rest for ten minutes, and the Japanese soldiers were on the march while munching on biscuits to satisfy their hunger.
"Captain, a telegram from Your Excellency Wing Commander!"
On the 94-style truck, the adjutant of the brigade handed the freshly baked telegram to Takeda Masayuki, Takeda picked up the telegram and read it quickly, this is a telegram from the 21st Wing Wing Captain Miki Yoshinosuke, Takeda finished reading, the content is still that little thing, and it is a telegram urging reinforcements, from the telegram, Takeda also learned that the brigade led by his immediate boss has been busy repairing the road since yesterday's road-breaking incident.
Wing Commander Miki Yoshinosuke suspected that there was an ambush by Chinese troops around, and also sent a large number of troops to search for the enemy nearby, and after a night and half a day of tossing, Miki's detachment finally repaired the road and turned over the surrounding fields, and found no trace of Chinese troops.
In fact, the road is very easy to repair, and the Miki detachment spent less than half a night to repair the gap blown up by the engineer platoon of the teaching brigade, and more time was spent on the search for the vicinity.
"The wing captain has been delayed for a lot of time in the back, and he is only setting off now, it seems that the task of reinforcing Kunlun Pass is still to be completed by the warriors of our brigade."
"Order the troops, speed up the march, send more search soldiers to take the lead, and probe the traces of the Chinese army!" Takeda said.
The performance of the Miki detachment can be described as grinding, but Takeda saw the caution of the wing captain, and he also had a little more heart, and he planned to send more search soldiers to take the lead.
"Yes!"
The Takeda Brigade was marching nervously, and there was another detachment of search soldiers, who, according to Takeda's orders, stepped over the main force of the marching brigade and ran to the front of the brigade, reinforcing the past as a forward............
"Hurry up, dig up all the fortifications!"
"Cover me with the weeds and remove the blasting canisters."
In front of the Takeda Brigade that had not yet arrived, the engineer platoon sent out by Zhang Wei to attack and harass had already hidden on the side of the road.
The task of harassment given to him by Zhang Wei is not a difficult task, it is to make the engineer platoon disgusting and disgusting Takeda Brigade, put two shots, kill a few of his people and run away, move, Zhang Wei and He Jinhai said that it doesn't matter if they make it bigger.
Since we want to lead people into the ambush position, we can't let Takeda's march process be too comfortable, which will cause suspicion, and it is normal to have attacks and gunshots.
The soldiers of the engineer platoon, after returning from the bombing mission, did not participate in the battle, they have been recuperating, the good food and drink of the cooking squad are open and supplied, and the attack and harassment task is dispatched, the soldiers are fierce and full of fighting spirit, replenish ammunition, bring blasting canisters, and rush to the ambush position at the speed of a forced march.
After being in place, the engineer platoon immediately built a simple position, using vegetation as a cover, and the soldiers of the engineer platoon carried nearly 30 blasting canisters, all of which were short and relatively light.
When this thing was manufactured, Zhang Wei took into account the function of throwing a large grenade.
Zhang Wei told He Jinhai that he could make the movement bigger, and all the soldiers in the engineer platoon chose to bring short blasters, why? These capable veterans were sturdy, well-fed and drunk, and all of them were dressed like oxen, and their physical fitness was much better than that of the three infantry squadrons of the teaching brigade.
For them, the short blasting canister can be thrown out as a grenade, full of strength, thrown outside, a throw, it is simply a cannon in the hand, this thing is thrown up, the explosion is much cooler than a grenade, and the power is greater, the veterans of the engineer platoon are quite fond of this blasting canister developed by Zhang Wei, and they all love to use it, and the refreshing feeling brought to the soldiers by using this weapon is indescribable.
"Platoon commander, the brothers have settled down, and two people have been sent out to investigate, and the other brothers are hiding in the fortifications."
The sergeant platoon of the engineer platoon said to He Jinhai.
"Well, tell the brothers to keep their eyes away, and report back immediately when they see the Japanese army!"
"Yes!"
The soldiers of the engineer platoon, lurking in the vegetation and individual pits on the left side of the road, waited for the arrival of the Japanese army.
The waiting of the engineer platoon lasted less than an hour, and the observation post sent out to lurk finally discovered the Japanese army, and more than a dozen forward search soldiers of the Takeda Brigade ran on the road, searching, and after getting the situation, He Jinhai immediately ordered the engineer platoon to prepare for battle.
Seventy-nine rifles, Czech light machine guns, and flower machine guns were all aimed at the road, and some soldiers grabbed the blaster canisters and began to hold their strength and prepare to throw them on the road.
The number of Japanese troops found was an infantry detachment, which belonged to a part of the forward, not all of the forward, but the top at the front, and at a distance behind, there was another group of forward search soldiers, which was also Takeda's strategy.
He was afraid that there would be a mistake in sending only one group of men, so he sent several groups of forwards, these search soldiers, sometimes running forward, sometimes observing the fields on both sides of the road, searching for traces of the Chinese army.
Of course, the traces of the engineer platoon, these leading forwards were not discovered, and the hidden work of the veterans was enough to hide from these searching Japanese troops.
Soon, the Japanese search troops of this detachment gradually approached the ambush area of the engineer platoon.
When the first few soldiers of the search team had just entered the firing range, He Jinhai decisively ordered to open fire in advance, and suddenly, the fierce fire from the left side of the road covered the heads of the Japanese forwards, and the Japanese soldiers walking in front had almost no time to react, and were knocked down by the rifles and light machine guns of the veterans of the engineer platoon.
"Hidden! There are enemy troops! ”
In the face of the attack, the Japanese troops who were not killed quickly fell down on the road and hidden, while the engineer platoon concentrated all the rifle and light machine gun fire, and pressed the Japanese forward on the road to death, so that they did not dare to raise their heads and make a decent return fire.
Under the suppression of the fire of machine guns and rifle platoons, the Japanese troops on the highway could not advance or retreat, and when they fell on the road, they did not dare to raise their heads to shoot, and they could not fire decent return fire at all.
Then, seven or eight sturdy engineer platoons of soldiers rushed out of the hiding place, each carrying a certain number of blasters, and the largest one carried a full four.
The veterans of the engineer platoon carrying the blaster rushed for dozens of meters, suddenly stopped, exerted all their strength, and quickly threw the blasting canister in their hands in the direction of the Japanese search soldiers.
"Boom Boom"
The violent explosion covered the ambushed Japanese troops, and only two wounded soldiers who were far away barely ran back, and the rest, all of them, were killed on the road......
The engineer platoon also quickly retreated, retreating in the direction of the ambush position......
The whole battle lasted less than eight minutes.
