Chapter Forty-Eight: Fiction and Reality
"Eight Grid Tooth Road" hiding in the command post of the ghost and the ghost in the village looked at the fire in the distance, the anger almost did not go away, the thunder people are too cunning, far away, the ghost and the ghost can smell the smell of oil mixed in the flames, it must be the thunder people in the trench with the oil of Ding'an City set a trap, the ghost and the ghost village suddenly remembered a famous battle column in ancient China - burning Chibi.
Zhao Zhi, who was lying on his stomach at the downwind outlet, was also extremely uncomfortable at this time, and it was not only the hot Lang that drifted along with the wind, but also the disgusting smell of meat. If a person who doesn't know the details smells the smell of barbecue, he may not be able to help but salivate, but Zhao Zhi and the others know where this smell of meat comes from, and when they think of the Japanese puppet soldiers who were engulfed in the fire, the mercenaries lying next to Zhao Zhi couldn't help but want to spit it out.
Zhao Zhi did not react at all to the smell of the meat being cooked, in his previous life, when he was hired by the US government to go to Afghanistan to clean up the remnants of the Taliban, it happened to be just in time for the US military to launch incendiary bombs to clean up a training camp of the Taliban, and the sea of people who were killed by the fire went to the sea. In order to confirm the identity of those Taliban elements, Zhao Zhi's mercenary group needed to extract the DNA of those charred corpses back, and in one afternoon, Zhao Zhi alone rummaged through dozens of carbonized corpses, and the smell was even stronger than now, and Zhao Zhi had long been used to it.
After the initial panic, the Japanese began to organize the firefighting and treatment of the wounded, while the fire and smoke filled the trenches went unheeded. The attackers had all been pushed out of their positions, and the trenches full of smoke and flames separated the attackers from the Japanese troops, so that in the dark of night, no one was willing to give up their lives to pursue. "Let's go back" Zhao Zhi, who was lying on the ground, gestured, and sneaked back towards the Japanese army's position with 30 mercenaries equipped with submachine guns, since the Japanese army was unwilling to break this stalemate, Zhao Zhi didn't mind doing it himself.
"The enemy has retreated" The Japanese officers in the command post looked at the darkness outside, the gunfire had long stopped, and the Japanese puppet soldiers who were still alive were hiding in bunkers with their weapons tightly, for fear that they would be the next target to be attacked. The extremely annoyed ghost village also listened to the movement in front of the position, as if it was like this, except for the screams and groans of a few wounded soldiers, the ghost ghost village only heard the whirring sound of the flames, and it seemed that the enemy was really gone.
After waiting for a while, the ghost near the countryside hidden in the night gave the order to clean up the mess, and the Japanese puppet soldiers who suffered heavy casualties began to collect the corpses, dig up the soil and extinguish the fire, and they were a little busy, but the blood stains and stumps and broken arms on the ground on the battlefield reminded them that there had just been a bloody battle here. "This time the Japanese are miserable enough, I see that even that Kobayashi Shaozuo was killed," the officer of the Imperial Allied Army with a cigarette in his mouth muttered to the guy next to him, the most casualties in this attack were still the Japanese army, due to the timidity and fear of the Imperial Allied Army, the ghost and the countryside were at most transferred a few squads to the forward trenches to assist in the defense, which allowed most of the Imperial Allied troops to avoid heavy casualties.
When Zhao Zhi's flare hit the sky, the Imperial Allies in the position had already sensed that something was wrong, and when they were accustomed to shrinking turtles, their first reaction was not to meet the enemy, but to find cover to avoid possible incoming bullets. In the chaos, the ghost and the village didn't have the heart to deal with them, after Zhao Zhi and them withdrew from the battle group, the ghost and the village who were in a very bad mood called all the imperial alliance troops to clean up the mess, and the imperial alliance army who knew that it was not good would not have dragged their feet, there were already too many people who died tonight, if they really provoked the Japanese, then the end and taste would definitely not be good.
"Pap" "Pap" "Pap" "Pap" three flares were hit in the air, and the Japanese puppet soldiers who were collecting corpses and cleaning the mess on the battlefield were stunned and exposed to the miserable white light, and the sudden light made the Japanese puppet soldiers a little overwhelmed, and the Imperial Cooperative Army, who had always been slow to react, lay on the ground uncharacteristically, and crawled towards the nearest bunker regardless of the blood stains on the ground. "Boom" "Boom" "Boom" A burst of mortar shells smashed on the position, the flares provided a good sight for the artillery observers, plus during the day, Bob and the artillery observers had already marked the Japanese positions, as long as the number was casually reported, the shells could hit the corresponding area.
The panicked Japanese puppet soldiers scattered and fled from the shelling area, but the shells that hit their positions became more and more intense, "Report to Zuo, the enemy is attacking our right flank position, they have more than 15 heavy machine guns, we are almost unable to withstand it" In the rumble of artillery, a burst of intensive shooting suddenly came from the Japanese army's right flank position, and before the ghost sent someone to inquire about the situation, a soldier on the right flank position ran back with his rifle, and the news he brought made the ghost and the countryside stand up from the stool.
"Oops, we've been tricked" Ghost Shadow rushed out of his safe command post, holding a telescope and looking at his right flank position with the help of the light of the flares, the Imperial Allied Army, which had been stationed on the right flank position, had begun to retreat like a tide. In order to stabilize the position, when the ghost and the countryside were encamped, they chose to place half of the weak Imperial Alliance troops in the right flank position, and the front and left flank positions were Japanese and pseudo-mixed troops.
When the order was given to clean up the battlefield just now, in order to stabilize the position, the Ghost Ghost Near Country was the Imperial Association Army drawn from the right flank position, and the Thunder attacked his right flank position at this time, which could only show that the surprise attack they had just now was a trap and a trick to attack the west. The thunderous people suddenly launched a surprise attack, using their strong firepower with the tactics of fighting and leaving, causing a large number of casualties to their troops, and when they thought that the opponent's surprise attack had been repelled and idle soldiers were sent to organize their positions, they used the firepower they had already accumulated to attack the empty right flank position, which was obviously what the people of China were best at.
According to the weapon configuration of the Japanese infantry unit, the scale of 15 heavy machine guns can only be a unit-level unit, Ding'an is a small place, and the ghost and the countryside do not think that there will be a division-level thunder force here, it is likely that it is only a brigade-level unit, otherwise when he confronts them in the afternoon, the other party will never allow himself to camp with the possibility. "Abominable thunder, since you want to play the thirty-six tricks with me, then I'll have a good time with you" The ghost who was familiar with the thirty-six tricks was ruthless, and personally led half of the Japanese troops from the squad to press the right flank position.
"Bang" "Bang" The ghost ghost village took his southern pistol and fired the bow left and right, killing several soldiers of the Imperial Association Army who retreated without permission, "all go back to the position, and those who retreat will be killed" The two officers who came from the ghost and the countryside drew their swords and shouted murderously at those Imperial Alliance troops, and then brandished their war knives and drove the panicked retreating Imperial Alliance troops back into their right flank positions like ducks. "Kill to give" Ghost Ming Xiang brandished his southern pistol, commanding the light and heavy machine guns on the position to fire at each other with the opponent, and the two mortars that followed him also began to cooperate with the bombardment.
"Boom" "Boom" A few shells smashed over from the side of the Ghost Hell, and the Thunder Heavy Machine Gun was dumb several times, and the weakening of the opponent's firepower greatly excited the Ghost Hell, and even the Imperial Allies who shrank their heads when shooting dared to straighten up and shoot at the opposite side. The Japanese army's right flank position was very lively, and Zhao Zhi, who had been hiding on the periphery of the frontal position, was not idle, all equipped with submachine guns, carrying twice the amount of ammunition, they had already touched the edge of the outermost trench with blazing fire.
The ghost and the countryside guessed well, Zhao Zhi was playing the trick of attacking the west, but the ghost and the countryside would be wrong, he was just familiar with the thirty-six schemes, but he forgot that the Chinese's best strategy still has the trick of fiction and reality. Zhao Zhi's first raid on the Japanese position was indeed to disrupt their troop deployment by killing and injuring a large number of Japanese puppet troops, but the next heavy machine gun salvo on the right flank position was a real false move, which was to attract the attention and strength of the Japanese army, and win opportunities for Zhao Zhi and them, who were advancing in the front again.
Zhao Zhi was not afraid that the Japanese army would see through his own hypocrisy, and if the strong attack on the right flank could deceive the Japanese army, he would take the submachine gunners to take advantage of the weakness from the front to attack the Japanese position, and sweep the Japanese position again along the route of the last raid. Once the Japanese army saw through their own false plan, Zhao Zhi's side would immediately strengthen its firepower to take over the task of attracting Japanese firepower, and the two companies of Jewish soldiers who originally served as the strategy on the right flank would become the main force of the breakthrough, taking advantage of the entanglement between Zhao Zhi and the main force of the Japanese army, they would break through the Japanese army's right flank position in one fell swoop, and squeeze the Japanese puppet army on the position to the left flank with the strong firepower of heavy machine gun salvos.
Before Zhao Zhi launched, the two Jewish companies arranged on the right flank were false moves, and they were false moves to attract Japanese firepower and troops, but once the submachine gun team led by Zhao Zhi broke through the frontal defense line of the Japanese army, the two Jewish companies equipped with 15 heavy machine guns would cooperate with the three Jewish companies following Zhao Zhi and them to squeeze the Japanese puppet army on the position when the Japanese puppet army panicked, until they squeezed their space to the extreme, and then encircled and annihilated them.
"Let's start" The attention of the Japanese army was drawn to their right flank, and Zhao Zhi, who had already touched the outside of the first trench, gave the order, and his mercenaries pushed the excavated earth into the steaming trench with sapper shovels. Zhao Zhi didn't need to bury the entire trench, they only needed a 2-meter-wide path to enter the Japanese position, and the Japanese puppet army, who was completely attracted by the right flank, and almost all of their attention was gone, and they would never have thought that someone would break through the first trench that was still bubbling with flames.
