Chapter 57: Ambush at Dawn
After taking a turret so smoothly, the guerrillas who were called over by Huzi all showed expressions of disbelief. But the few soldiers of the Imperial Association Army in front of them, who were standing trembling outside the turret with their faces in their hands, proved everything, and the turret in front of them had indeed surrendered. "After collecting their weapons, everything in the turret that could be seen and taken away was loaded into a truck, and then set fire to the turret." Lu Yuan was quick to speak, and immediately gave an order, and these guerrillas happily rushed into the turret.
The turret looked like it was three stories high, but the area inside was not very large, so the loot was quickly cleaned up, and the carts were full of things that were found in the cavity. Lu Yuan quietly walked around the cart, and saw that the guerrillas had also loaded the bedding of those Japanese puppet soldiers into the cart, Lu Yuan nodded and praised, but when he saw that someone actually loaded a few pairs of old military shoes on the cart, Lu Yuan laughed.
"I said you stupid, how dare you pick up these shoes? What if the owner of the shoe has athlete's foot? If you have athlete's foot, you won't be able to walk far. In the face of Lu Yuan's ridicule, these guerrillas complained to each other, and then hurriedly threw down the old military shoes from the cart. Smoke soon rose from the empty Japanese artillery tower, and then the smoke turned into flames under the reflection of the setting sun, and at this time, Lu Yuan and others had already escorted the captives to appear a few miles away.
From the mouths of these prisoners of war of the Imperial Cooperative Army, he learned that there were only a dozen people guarding the other turret, and there were only three Japanese soldiers among these dozen people, so Lu Yuan decided to destroy the other turret, not to mention that in that turret, there were carts and horses that Lu Yuan needed. An hour later, the battle ended simply and quickly, as Lu Yuan had predicted. The guerrillas who had an extra cart were very busy, and they were able to load the troop from the turret onto the cart, which filled the two carts with trophies, and the faces of the guerrillas were full of smiles.
After knocking out the two Japanese strongholds outside the county seat, Lu Yuan and the others returned to the county seat before dark, but they just in time for Xiao Haishan to come out of the county with people. Seeing Lu Yuan bring people back, the anxious look on Xiao Haishan's face instantly turned to nothing, "God, you are finally back." Xiao Haishan stretched out his hand to pull Lu Yuan aside, and then whispered, "The Japanese have a garrison in Zhaojiaji, which is more than 40 miles away from the county seat, and Battalion Commander Wang feels that we should immediately withdraw to the mountain, once the Japanese army in Zhaojiaji kills us, we may..."
Lu Yuan paused for a moment when he heard this, then nodded at Xiao Haishan, and then beckoned Huzi to his side. He made a few gestures with Huzi, and after Huzi shook his head at himself, Lu Yuan turned around and smiled at Xiao Haishan. "Captain Xiao, that's okay, you still continue to carry the loot, and I'll take Huzi to Zhao Jiaji to take a look. Before dawn, I promise that there will be nothing on the county side, but you have to speed up. ”
Xiao Haishan wanted to arrange for some of his team members to follow Lu Yuan, but Lu Yuan directly refused, and he and Huzi only drove a big car in the direction of Zhao Jiaji. Lu Yuan and the two slowly traveled along the highway in the dark, and when the car was fifteen or sixteen miles away from the county seat, they beckoned Huzi to stop the car. Lu Yuan, who jumped out of the cart, walked down the roadbed first, looked around the bushes in the west, and then returned to the highway to search forward, and finally nodded with satisfaction.
"Easy to defend and difficult to attack, the terrain is narrow, hehe, it's you." Lu Yuan was obviously very satisfied with this terrain, and he had a little more grasp of the ambush. Raised his hand to look at the time, it was not yet early in the morning, Lu Yuan immediately took Huzi to drive the cart off the roadbed, found a suitable place behind the bushes he had seen, and hid the cart. "You go to sleep first, there's a situation, I'll call you." After taking out a military blanket from the storage space and throwing it to Huzi, signaling the other party to sleep first, Lu Yuan surveyed the terrain around this section of the road.
In addition to this bush, the grass around this section of the road is only about 1 meter high, this height can not cover the cart, Lu Yuan took a machete to cut and carry it around, it took more than an hour, and finally completed the camouflage of the cart. At first glance, there is little difference between the cart covered by countless shrubs and trees and the bushes that can be found everywhere in the open field. Unobtrusive, unobtrusive, but extremely camouflaged!
Lu Yuan, who was covered with all kinds of leaves and grass clippings, and was already soaked with sweat, not only was he not tired, but he had a weird smile on his face. Lu Yuan, who was sitting next to the cart, took out a cigarette and lit it, then turned his head to look in the direction of Zhao Jiaji. Lu Yuan didn't know when Zhao Jiaji's Japanese army would appear, but Lu Yuan's expression was very calm, because he was almost ready to deal with it, and now Lu Yuan was not short of patience, whether it was physical or will.
Half an hour later, Lu Yuan, who had recovered his strength, was busy again, only this time, Lu Yuan no longer chopped the grass with a knife, but carried a bag of * and * on his back, and began to lay out a minefield in the field on the other side of the road. More than 40 wooden handles* and a large number of them* were connected together by Lu Yuan to create a minefield more than 50 meters long and 30 meters wide, and in order to increase the killing effect, Lu Yuan also deliberately sprinkled a lot of gravel in this minefield.
When the sky was white, Lu Yuan, who had not slept all night, made all the preparations, not only camouflaged the minefield seamlessly, but also set up the Browning large-caliber heavy machine gun in a carefully selected place. After the last careful inspection, Lu Yuan, who was sitting behind the large-caliber heavy machine gun, slowly exhaled a breath, and now he was just waiting for the Japanese army to appear. About half an hour later, Lu Yuan, who seemed to be a little depressed, suddenly came to his senses and immediately went to wake up Huzi, who was sleeping heavily.
After another hour, the Japanese army that was locked by Lu Yuan with a full-view map finally appeared, and Huzi led the horse pulling the cart to quickly retreat according to Lu Yuan's instructions, and two kilometers away, a convoy was approaching quickly. The leader of the convoy was a three-wheeled motorcycle, followed by three military trucks, the compartments of which were crowded with Japanese soldiers, each with thirty or forty people, and behind the trucks, there were more than a dozen Japanese soldiers on horseback.
The entire convoy was about 50 meters away from the front and back, and the minimum speed was more than 40 yards, and it was soon at a distance of one kilometer. The distance is closer, the vision is clearer, and Lu Yuan, who squatted behind the heavy machine gun, moved the sniper rifle, locked on to the first truck with the scope, and looked in through its front windshield. The driver was an ordinary Japanese soldier, and sitting next to him was a Japanese officer with the rank of lieutenant.
Seeing that the truck had entered the minefield, Lu Yuan's pupils shrank, and he began to adjust his breathing and reduce the amplitude of the muzzle swimming, and at the same time began to calculate the speed, wind speed, and bullet speed, and finally Lu Yuan used the scope to lock the gap between the driver's heart and the door. In the cab of the truck, the Japanese soldiers who were accustomed to driving on such plain roads did not realize the danger at all, and they did not know that someone was really aiming at them with a gun.
Seeing that the last truck had also entered the minefield out of the corner of his eye, Lu Yuan, who had been aiming at the head car, immediately held his breath and hooked his fingers on the trigger slightly. "Smack!" There was a crisp sound, and a small hole appeared out of thin air on the front windshield of the Japanese truck more than 200 meters away. Almost at the same time...... "poof~" A large stream of blood spurted out of the right chest of the Japanese pilot. The Japanese lieutenant who was sitting in the co-pilot heard the strange noise, reacted immediately, and turned his head sharply to look to the left. I saw that the driver did not look at the road, but looked down at his right chest, where a bullet hole was spraying blood plasma.
"It's a gunshot wound, someone is in ambush!" The Japanese lieutenant officer's face turned pale in an instant, and he was shocked and was just about to pounce to control the vehicle. With a soft sound of "pop~", there was also an extra bullet hole in the head of the Japanese lieutenant officer, and the steering wheel that he had grabbed was violently deflected to the side, and the whole truck fell off the roadbed like a tiger. With a loud bang and a terrifying impact, the truck that had jumped off the roadbed jumped up sharply, and then stopped diagonally in the field under the roadbed. Then in Lu Yuan's eyes, the crumbling truck turned over directly with a swing.
The other trucks and cavalry that followed behind saw the situation in front of them, and they all subconsciously stopped without knowing what was happening in front of them. And at this moment, the anomaly reappeared, "Boom... Boom..."Two explosions, the two * bags buried by Lu Yuan on the road exploded instantly, and a large number of gravel was shot out in a fan-shaped direction, and the black pressure was overwhelming, covering the sky and the sun, and it was terrifying. "Nani? This is ......" The Japanese soldiers on the truck saw the darkness in front of them, and they were instantly frightened and stood on the spot.
Accompanied by the explosion of smoke columns, the gravel and shock waves flying in the air were fleeting, and the "whew~" wind blew in the face, and the whistling sound exploded. In the end, the body of the truck was hit by a large amount of gravel in an instant, and countless small holes were all over every corner of the truck, shaped like a large "leaky scoop". The steel body was still like this, and the Japanese soldiers on the car were even more tragic, and the Japanese soldiers at the back bore the brunt, being hit by dozens or even hundreds of gravel at the same time, and were instantly beaten into a sieve, and died of blood on the spot.
The other Japanese soldiers, although blocked by human walls, were too dense with gravel and penetrated. If you are lucky, you will scream again and again with a few shots, and if you are unlucky, you will be directly beaten down by more than a dozen shots and enter a state of serious injury. In less than a few seconds, the first car rolled and flew out, and the car behind it was killed and injured by more than half of the casualties, and the attrition was more than seventy percent.
