Chapter 22: The Ambush (6)

"Heavy machine gun preparation" Looking at the Japanese soldiers who were getting closer and closer, Allen's heart blossomed with happiness, when the guys in the 3rd platoon shot and shot, they always intentionally or unintentionally hit the bullets on the flanks of the Japanese forward, and the Japanese soldiers in the charge were piled up in the middle in order to avoid the bullets. This group charge formation happened to be a dish of heavy machine guns, and Allen could already foresee the scene of Japanese corpses lying in front of his position.

The menacing Japanese troops of "fire cover, fire cover" had already rushed to within 60 meters of the outside of the trench, and the second lieutenant officer who led the command commanded the light machine gun fire cover that came up with the team, and with the sound of the Japanese light machine gun "da-da-da" shooting, the Japanese soldiers with rifles slowed down slightly, and while taking out the grenades with one hand, they exposed the dozens of bare-chested Japanese soldiers with explosives bags on their backs.

Looking at the sudden change of formation of the Japanese army, Allen, who was holding the telescope, sneered a few times, the shirtless Japanese soldier was carrying the huge backpack, Alan had already seen it clearly in the telescope, and after staying with the mercenaries for a long time, Alan had already become a thoughtful person, although he didn't know what this bare-chested Japanese soldier was doing with a backpack, but he knew that the backpack would never be a good thing. "Boom" "Boom" "Boom" The grenades from the Japanese grenadiers began to bombard the trenches of the 1st Company, and Allen had to order the mortars and the Japanese grenadiers to bombard, but unfortunately the grenadiers were light and dexterous and easy to move, and the artillery under Allen had no way to take them for a while.

"Boom" "Boom" "Boom" made Allen even more unbelievable things happened, the Japanese soldiers with guns in one hand and grenades in the other hand threw out their grenades early, and when they were still 60 meters away from the trench of the 1st Company, pieces of grenades flew from the shock formation of the Japanese army. The oval grenade can never be thrown 60 meters away with only arm strength, but it can definitely throw a distance of 30 meters with the help of running, so the grenade that exploded on the ground just fell into the thunder array prepared by Allen for the Japanese army, and the rumbling explosion made Allen's heart suddenly cool by half, and the mines buried outside the position were really in vain.

"Heavy machine gun fire, fire" Allen, who secretly shouted bad food, immediately ordered the heavy machine gun that had been waiting for a long time to fire, and most of the mines outside the position were detonated by the grenades thrown by the Japanese army, and the rumbling tornado-like explosion was not caused by the Japanese army's point grenade. The Japanese army had already rushed to a distance of 60 meters from the position, and if the Japanese army reacted, there would be no more fleeting fighters, so Allen planned to strike first.

"Da da" Allen gave an order, and the raindrops of bullets flew through the smoke from the explosion and flew towards the Japanese troops in the impact, the strong fire whip of the Browning heavy machine gun whipped in the attack formation of the Japanese army, the Japanese soldiers who had just thrown the grenade and had no time to dodge twitched their bodies in the rain of bullets, and several bare-chested Japanese soldiers with explosive bags on their backs were even torn to pieces by the rain of bullets, and the explosives that were originally used to bombard the trenches of the 1st Company were also detonated by the bullets in advance, and the flames that rose into the sky made Alan secretly cry out in the trenches. If this group of Japanese soldiers really touched the front of their position, so many explosives were thrown over, and they would not blow up their own position.

The detonation of the mine and the explosives package revived the lively scene of Ma Jiawa, who was already weak in gunfire, and the heavy machine guns that fired concentrated on it broke out into an earth-shattering movement, whether it was the soldiers of the 1st Company lying in the trenches or the Japanese soldiers who were heavily damaged, the hearts of both sides of the confrontation were not easy. From the beginning of the ambush of the Hotan Brigade in Majiawa to the present is only less than an hour, the crazy Japanese army has launched several attacks on the position defended by the 1st Company, although relying on the support of heavy machine guns, mortars and other strong firepower, the position of the 1st Company is still as stable as a rock, but under the accurate shooting confrontation of the Japanese army, the casualties of Allen's soldiers are not small.

According to Kawada's arrangement and tactical adjustment, after the Japanese army that broke through in the middle was heavily damaged, the Japanese squadron outflanked from the flank became the main force of the attack, Kawada's arrangement was indeed correct, but it was a pity that he was not facing the national army or the Jin Sui army, and the Jewish troops who were confronted by Lei Ting for the first time in the Shanxi battlefield were confronted by him. After defeating the Japanese convoy in Xiangtangpu, Zhao Zhi immediately divided the Browning heavy machine guns arranged in the ambush position into two, and a full 50 Browning heavy machine guns were sent to Majiawa, and Kawada faced not only 300 well-equipped Jewish soldiers, but also more than 50 large-caliber heavy machine guns and more than 24 mortars, which was not something that Kawada's brigade could compete.

The bullets erupted from the large bushes on the two wings of the 1st Company's position hit the Japanese troops who were outflanked head-on, and the Japanese soldiers who were attacked by the rain of bullets hurriedly lay down and hidden, but the flanks of the 1st Company had already been cleared into white ground by the Jewish soldiers, and except for a few small dirt bags, the Japanese troops who flanked the enemy could no longer find a suitable hiding place. "Boom", "Boom", "Boom", "Boom", the small earthen bags that were used as life-saving straws by the Japanese army had already been calculated by the artillery under Allen, and a shell smashed over, and the Japanese soldiers who were hiding behind the small earthen bags turned over on their backs and suffered heavy casualties.

"Retreat, retreat" After the second lieutenant who led the Japanese army outflanked from the left flank was killed, the soldier Cao who took over the command saw that the momentum was not right, and hurriedly began to retreat with the remaining Japanese troops. After the more than 100 Japanese troops on the left flank withdrew from the battle, there were less than 60 people left, which was considered to be a quick withdrawal, and the Japanese troops walking on the right flank did not have such good luck, and the second lieutenant who led the Japanese troops on the right flank reacted a little slower and only hesitated for a moment, and the concentrated artillery fire of the 1st company smashed down on them, and with the dense heavy machine gun bullets like rain, the Japanese troops walking on the right flank had no way to live at all.

"Yaga, Yaga" The angry Kawada brandished his command knife and cut down a large area of weeds on the side of the road, and sent out three soldiers, only half of the soldiers on the middle and left flanks who had suffered heavy casualties returned, and none of the 100 people on the right flank who he had high hopes for did not come back, and they were ambushed By this time, more than half of the troops of Kawada's brigade had been killed or wounded. Now there is only one way in front of Kawada, after the heavy loss of long-range firepower, the only way out for Kawada's brigade is to withdraw the troops, if he insists on taking the remaining half of the soldiers and 1 company to carry the blockade, waiting for them is not only defeated and killed, but there may also be the attacker who follows and pursues and thus loses the Dongyang Pass stronghold.

"I want to run, no way" spit out the dirt in his mouth, and found that the Japanese troops on the opposite side had the momentum to get out of the battlefield, and Allen called the foot talkers who were squatting in the anti-artillery hole. The reinforcements of the 1st Battalion rushed from Xiangtangpu had already arrived in Majiawa, but Allen thought that his 1st Company could hold the position on the one hand, and on the other hand, he also wanted to let the other companies that rushed over in a hurry take a breath, so after obtaining the consent of the battalion commander, the 1st Battalion rushed from Xiangtangpu was just hidden on the periphery of the battlefield. But now that the Japanese army is about to run away with the defeat of the battle, Allen Yan, who has been beaten out of anger, can let go of these guys, and now is the time for the 1st Battalion to make a move.

After allen used a walkie-talkie to contact the reinforcements of the 1st Battalion who were scattered on the periphery of the battlefield, he ordered the mortars of the 1st Company to consume as many troops as possible before the Japanese retreated, regardless of the consumption of artillery shells. The overwhelming shelling caused the already fragile Kawada to break the last of his slightly thick nerves, and Kawada, who was forced onto the horse by his adjutant, had lost the confidence to fight again, and even the order of the retreat of the troops was handled by his adjutant.

A good rescue was beaten into a rout, and Kawada even had the heart to die, but there were still hundreds of soldiers alive under him, and hundreds of wounded soldiers waiting for treatment, even if he had to apologize for his crimes, it couldn't be now, at least after bringing these imperial soldiers who had lost their fighting spirit back to the Dongyang Pass stronghold, Kawada could talk about apologies for his crimes. "Retreat, retreat" Braving the falling artillery fire, Kawada commanded the remaining soldiers to retreat towards Dongyang Pass, and his lieutenant, who was still still in the mood for war, volunteered to lead a squad to break off the rear and buy time for Kawada and their retreat.

The reinforcements of the 1st Battalion, which had been hidden on the periphery of the battlefield, finally opened fire, and the rain of bullets that extended was like an outstretched arm, blocking the route of Kawada's brigade to retreat back to Dongyang Pass, and the hope of surviving had been cut to pieces by the dense rain of bullets, and Kawada, who was riding on horseback, was shot down by a sniper who had been hidden for a long time at the first time, and the officer who temporarily took over the command was killed by snipers in a row, just ten minutes, The existing supreme commander of the struggling Kawada Brigade had become a soldier with no more than three years of military experience, and the squad that remained behind to intercept the 1st Company had suffered casualties.

"Shout, tell them to lay down their arms and surrender" followed the reinforcements of the 1st Battalion to Majiawa and a few mercenary scouts who could speak Japanese, Tang Lei, who temporarily commanded the scouts, was also among them, and the news had already come from the walkie-talkie, the 2nd Battalion, which was responsible for blocking the enemy from Shexian County in Chunshuling, had solved the battle, and Zhao Zhi, who stayed in Xiangtangpu to clean up the battlefield, asked if he needed to send additional manpower to support Majiawa. Tang Lei, who has a strong sense of self-esteem, doesn't think that this is his own husband is really asking about the battle situation, he thinks that this is Mr. expressing his dissatisfaction with the delay in the end of the war.

"Tang Tou, we don't want to be taken prisoner, especially this little devil" A scout under Tang Lei muttered in a low voice that didn't take advantage of the scene, this was an unintentional move, but in exchange for a roll of Tang Lei's eyes. "Oh, why hasn't anyone shouted yet, I'll take a look" The unintentional scout looked at the bad momentum, and ran away with a gun, and Tang Lei, who was amused, couldn't help laughing, and said in his heart, if you guess the central matter, then can I still command you?
