Chapter 34: Killing on a Rainy Night (3)

"Quick, hurry up and contact the K18 artillery group to bombard the camp of the 15th Division." As soon as he ran out of the defense line of the 15th Division, Tang Lei ordered the operator to contact the K18 heavy artillery group in the rear. Before Tang Lei planned to attack at night, he had already contacted the K18 artillery group, and after Tang Lei and they attacked, the K18 artillery group was ready to open fire at any time, in order to cover up the fact of the captured Japanese code book, Tang Lei had to use the K18 artillery group to help at this time.

"Tell them that we will correct the landing point of their shelling at any time, and tell Donner not to be stingy with those shells, and to give me a hard beating." Tang Lei did not provide the K18 artillery group with the coordinates of the shelling now, he was waiting for the Japanese ammunition depot to explode. The telecommunications room they raided was only a trench away from the ammunition depot, and Tang Lei believed that with the super destructive power of the K18 artillery group, the Japanese army who cleaned up the mess would never have thought that their codebook had fallen into the hands of Thunder.

"Damn, this little devil is slow enough, why hasn't it exploded yet?" Just when Tang Lei was standing on a dirt hill in the rain and chanting words, a huge explosion suddenly sounded in the Japanese camp a mile away, and a fireball suddenly rose in the Japanese camp. "It's done" Tang Lei clenched his fists with some excitement, and hurriedly ordered the walkie-talkers around him to tell the K18 artillery group the coordinates and location of the fireball, and asked the K18 artillery group to fight according to this position.

The 15th Division should have been unlucky, when Tang Lei's signal flare rose from the Japanese camp, the 15th Division, which reacted quickly, began to gather troops to count the number of people and check the inside of the camp while dividing the pursuing troops to pursue Tang Lei and them. Taking advantage of the rain, as many as 2,000 mercenaries entered the camp of the 15th Division from four directions, and after several hours of killing, the 15th Division counted a total of more than 4,000 missing soldiers, especially the soldiers on their outer defense line were killed or wounded by more than two-thirds.

Yamauchi Masamune, who was thunderous, pondered that the troops who came to attack at night would never just kill some ordinary soldiers, if it wasn't just to kill people, then their purpose might be for the weapons, ammunition and materials of the 15th Division, wouldn't the Chinese army be very good at destroying the rear supply line of the imperial army? Yamauchi was inspired by the thunderbolts triggered by the Japanese soldiers in the trenches from time to time, and he immediately ordered the officers around him to separate to check whether the ammunition and supplies hoarded by the 15th Division were safe.

The results of the inspection were just as Tang Lei saw, their ammunition depot with a large number of mines was unfortunately detonated by the officers who came to inspect it, and the movement of the ammunition depot full of Japanese-style grenades and shells when it exploded was terrifying. Not to mention what happened to the officers and soldiers who entered the ammunition depot, even the Japanese soldiers who were standing within a radius of 100 meters outside the ammunition depot were pushed by the explosion, and the soldiers within 50 meters were shocked and vomited blood unconscious, and the Japanese soldiers within 20 meters had already been reduced to ashes along with the ammunition depot.

Less than two minutes after the explosion of the ammunition depot, the large-caliber shells falling from mid-air plowed the place again, and with the continuous correction of the shell landing point, even one of the shells fell in the trench no more than 100 meters away from the headquarters of the main body of the mountain.

The Japanese army also immediately organized their field artillery wing to counterattack, but it is a pity that the range of the Japanese mountain artillery and field artillery is really not the opponent of K18, K18 can hit them, but he can't reach K18, so in the rumble of artillery, the 15th Division can only wait to be beaten. "Head, the Japanese look like they are going to retreat, and while the rain hasn't stopped, let's just do them again, maybe we can drive them back to Rangoon." Seeing that the situation was very good, Tang Lei's mercenaries began to strike while the iron was hot, saying that this was a good time to beat the water dogs.

"Tell my brothers to all travel lightly, don't bring Bazooka, just small arms, mortars, and grenadiers, and let's go and kill them again." Tang Lei handed over the captured code book to a mercenary who he was at ease to take back to the Donghu position, and he himself took the regrouped mercenary troops towards the camp of the 15th Division. "It's 2 o'clock in the morning, and there are still 3 hours to dawn at most, no matter what the results are, you must retreat before dawn, otherwise don't blame Lao Tzu for cleaning up your leaders."

The 2,000-person troop is scattered into a dozen mercenary squads in the rainy night, and the squad cooperation is the most commonly used formation in mercenary training, and the 15-person squad configuration can better play the combat power of the mercenaries, so as long as the mercenaries do not participate in positional warfare, most of them will choose the formation of the squad to fight. Tang Lei, who commanded the night attack, didn't care what kind of organization the mercenaries used to carry out the night attack, the result he wanted was only to reduce a large number of combat personnel of the 15th Division, and as for what means the mercenaries would use, it was completely out of his consideration.

After using silencers and bayonets to cross the Japanese perimeter line, the 15th Division's camp finally rang out with the sound of Thomson submachine gun fire. Like Tang Lei's encounter, although the rain can cover up some movements, the gun flame when the submachine gun fires is the best target, and the mercenaries who broke into the Japanese camp were exposed by the submachine guns in their hands. "Pap" "Pap" Some Japanese soldiers began to shoot at the mercenaries, but how could the bolt-action rifle be Thomson's opponent, in the face of strong automatic fire, the Japanese army using the 38 rifle had to retreat again and again.

"Boom" "Boom" The Japanese mortars and grenadiers began to participate in the battle, but the mercenaries were fighting with the Japanese army in a small team situation, and they came and walked quickly, and when the Japanese shells or grenades fell, the mercenaries who exchanged fire with the Japanese army had already found cover or had already run to other places. It was a rainy night when the fierce firefighting became very lively, and the mercenaries fought bravely, but Yamauchi Masafumi, who commanded the 15th Division, was depressed, and he wanted to steal a lazy time with the order of the base camp, who would have thought that he would be attacked by two night attacks from Thunder in a row on the same night.

The rain is so heavy that it is impossible to choose to retreat at this time, unless the 15th Division can give up those ammunition and materials, the problem is that the 15th Division is impossible to give up those ammunition and materials, otherwise Yamauchi Masamumi would have retreated a long time ago. "Order the troops to immediately shrink the defensive line, the engineer wing immediately set mines on the periphery, and the 67th wing immediately organize a counterattack, and it must hold out until dawn." The 51st Wing under Masafumi Yamauchi has been disabled, and the 60th Wing has also suffered a lot of casualties, and the only thing he can count on now is the 67th Wing.

Because Xu had not yet engaged Thunder, Yanazawa Kanji, who commanded the 67th Wing, forgot the instructions of the division commander Yamauchi Masafumi, and led the hastily assembled 67th Wing to meet the mercenary troops. I have to say that the Japanese army is a strong force in Asia after all, and the Japanese army with a squad formation may be very easy to dismiss, but if the Japanese army fights in the form of a wing in a group, the overwhelming momentum looks interesting enough, and the mercenaries who attack in the form of a squad are obviously not the opponents of the 67th wing, and as soon as the two sides exchange fire, several mercenary squads have to withdraw from the battle directly because of casualties.

"Move, move, don't get entangled by the Japanese army." Watching the mercenary squads withdraw from the battle and be forced to retreat, Tang Lei's eyes were on fire and he shouted vigorously in the walkie-talkie. The mercenary unit is good at sports warfare and rush warfare, and fighting with the Japanese wing like this is not a tactic that mercenaries are good at, especially since the 67th Wing is now obviously using superior forces to play a game of big fish eating small fish with mercenaries. There are only 15 people in a mercenary team, but now they have to face hundreds or even thousands of Japanese soldiers, even if the mercenaries' weapons are good, they are not opponents when facing crowd tactics.

"Boom", "Boom", "Boom", "Boom" The 67th Wing, which was as powerful as Changhong, was suddenly shelled, and the mercenaries who were bitten by them took the opportunity to break away from the battle group under the command of Tang Lei, and the K18 artillery group came to the rescue at the critical moment. "Baga, don't stop, chase them and destroy them." Seeing that his prey was getting out of control, Yanagizawa, who had always been short-tempered, ordered the soldiers of the 67th Wing to continue to pursue the retreating mercenaries against the bombardment of the K18 artillery group.

"Damn, I'm afraid you won't come." Behind Tang Lei, the sappers from the First Jewish Army had assembled more than a dozen steel fortresses, and the steel plate armor with a thickness of 8 layers was not even afraid of the field artillery bombardment of the 15th Division. "Ready" waited for the last retreating mercenary to cross the steel fortress, the Jewish officer commanding the machine gun group held the intercom in his hand tightly and ordered the machine gunners to prepare for battle, the rain affected the commander's judgment, and when the flares rose into the air, the pursuing 67th Wing advance was less than 20 meters away from the steel fortress.

"Fire, fire, push them back." Seeing that the Japanese were so close, the Jewish officer commanding the machine-gun group shouted loudly. The large-caliber Browning heavy machine gun began to fire, and under the cold light of the flares, the soldiers of the 67th Wing, who were frantically pursuing, were swept away by the barrage in an instant, just like crops in the harvest season. The large-caliber Browning heavy machine gun with a rate of fire of 450-580 rounds per minute and an effective range of 1,800 meters taught the arrogant Yanagisawa a good lesson, and in less than a minute, the 67th Wing, which was originally within 100 meters of the steel fortress, was forced to a hundred meters away.

Yanagisawa didn't know that this was just the effect of a salvo of 30 large-caliber Browning heavy machine guns, and if it weren't for the rain and slippery roads, the First Army might have brought all 60 Browning heavy machine guns, and by that time, his 67th Wing might not even have many bones left.
