Chapter 4: The Transition to War (11)

Today's weather is very good, although the warm winter sun comes out a little late, it still comes out, hanging in the eastern sky, shining gold. Kita Tatsu sorted out his sword and walked out of the barracks, the warriors of more than a thousand empires were ready to stop, the mortars were lined up in a neat line, and the attack was about to begin.

The scouts came back to report that the Chinese army had set up a simple ambush position less than five kilometers away from Tianhuangping, and the purpose was very clear, they wanted to fight their own ambush. In that case, set the battlefield there. Kita Tashisan has a strong self-confidence in his troops, believing that he can do what he can do, and in the face of the strong offensive power of the imperial army, this small ambush will not have much effect, but can be gathered and annihilated. The day before yesterday, it was bombed twice in a row, and the explosion made many people angry and angry, and this was the biggest loss in China for most of the year. The most difficult thing for him to accept is that he was killed and wounded more than half, but he did not see a Chinese soldier, which is quite different from the Chinese army he knew, after the landing of Jinshanwei, in Jiashan, in Nanxun, in Wuxing, in Guangde, he fought with the Chinese army several times, although the Chinese army is backward in equipment, but dare to do it with his own real swords and guns, unlike this time, it has been two days, and he has not seen the shadow of the opponent, let alone who the opponent is.

Starting in battle formation, the target location is the ambush point of the Chinese army five kilometers away.

Soon, in the binoculars of the multi-three, there appeared a newly dug trench on the mountainside in front, which was indeed a good place for ambush, with steep mountains on both sides, and only a narrow passage remained, just fifty or sixty meters above the passage, which was the preset position of the Chinese army. "That's right!" Hi Duo said in his heart. In his opinion, the Chinese army likes to play ambushes, but they like to blatantly tell the other party that I am ambushed here. In Nanxun, he actually dug trenches on the flat ground, and planted the red flag of the blue sky and the white sun very ostentatiously, lest others not know that someone was ambushed here, and as a result, he was directly crushed by the imperial tanks.

The Japanese fought in a rigid and old-fashioned manner, and it was more standardized to say that it sounded good, but it was the same old way to say that it was not good, and if there were no tanks, they used artillery shells, and if there were no infantry guns, they used mortars, and one after another shells flew to the ambush points of the Chinese army, blowing up the mud, accompanied by mud, and some rags and rags.

"The shelling worked well!" Kitasa nodded and appreciated the effect of the shelling. Put down the binoculars, this thing is not light, and it is a little tiring to hold it in front of you for a long time.

When he was complacent, he only heard a burst of gunfire like fried beans from behind the troops, which was the familiar sound of the Arabaka rifle, and with the sound of gunfire, the Japanese baggage team that was behind was shot and fell to the ground.

"Enemy attack!" The Japanese immediately took aim at the mountainside on the left behind them. All the guns were fired in the general direction.

"The Japanese army's reaction ability is very fast, and the firepower is quite fierce." Liu Ke, who withdrew from the trench, had already said to Xu Le.

"It's just that they don't know that we will leave after two bullets, and we are not going to fight them in that place." Xu Le said: "Lao Liu, you estimate how many Japanese we were able to kill with our guns just now." ”

"It's too far, it is estimated that there will not be too many deaths, and there will be more injuries." Liu Ke is already a veteran of the Battle of Songhu and has rich experience, and he said with great admiration: "Your soldier has good marksmanship, and there is still a certain accuracy at a distance of about 300 meters." ”

Xu Le nodded and said: "First, the performance of the 38 rifle is good, and the second is that we have enough bullets to practice, our boss often says that instead of using ten bullets to eliminate an enemy on the battlefield, it is better to use these ten bullets to practice in peacetime, and on the battlefield, one bullet can destroy an enemy." ”

"Your boss is right, our Hunan army can't do it, we don't train soldiers in peacetime, some recruits haven't hit five bullets before they go into battle, and when they get to the battlefield, the bullets are flying all over the sky, dozens of bullets are shot out, and an enemy can't hit it, and there is no accuracy at all." Liu Keji said, "Where do we go next?" ”

"We're not going anywhere, let's find a safe place to rest, and when the Japanese retreat, we'll just kill a few more of them in the same place just now." Xu Le said.

"Hehehe, when I meet you unruly, the Japanese are considered to have fallen into blood mold!" Liu Ke had already laughed.

Xiduo fired three shots for a while, but did not see the other party shoot back, so the troops rushed forward, only to find that there was no one, and a lot of bullets were fired in vain. If you look at the position of the previous shelling, this is actually an empty position, and your own shells hit it, but it only blew down a lot of trees and turned up a lot of roots.

Kitasan knew that this time he had met an extremely cunning opponent, a hunter-type opponent, and he was his prey.

Counting the damage caused by the previous burst of gunfire, seventeen people were killed, more than sixty wounded, and eight pack horses were killed, and a small squad was arranged to send the wounded soldiers to the old barracks, while the others continued on their way.

After walking for almost two kilometers, he found that there was a new trench on the mountainside not far away. This time, he learned to be obedient, and let a squad of soldiers go around from the flanks with cats on their waists, and the others closely monitor the movements around him. As expected, it was still an empty position, and there was no one here.

Joy and Joy kicked the mud off his feet, glanced at the empty position with disdain, and at the same time despised his opponent in his heart, and ordered the troops to pass quickly, he believed that the opponent used this method only to delay the speed of his own march so that he could escape smoothly. He decided to speed up the pace of the attack and follow this road all the way to Lin'an.

Just as the Japanese army was out of combat mode and back on the road, a soldier stumbled and ran from behind, shouting: "Enemy attack, enemy attack." ”

Kido three greeted him and asked the out-of-breath soldier, "What enemy attack?" ”

The soldier breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The enemy attacked the old barracks and was engaged in a fierce battle with our squad, and the squad leader asked me to ask for reinforcements. ”

Angry with his guts, he immediately ordered a squadron of Japanese troops to run for reinforcements, while the others continued to advance as planned.

It was not Xu Ping and Liu Keji who attacked the old barracks, but a company of Liu Bolong's first battalion, and they did not fight seriously with 800, but threw grenadiers into the old barracks with grenadiers, the purpose of which was to reinforce the three divisions of troops.

Xu Ping and Liu Ke had returned to the position where they had fired black guns, and in the trenches that were shelled by the Japanese for the first time, there were the other two companies of Liu Bolong of the 1st Battalion.

The Japanese troops who returned to the reinforcements felt that the situation was critical, although their legs were short, they ran fast, and they were determined to run to the old barracks as soon as possible to rescue the trapped soldiers there, and they could also attack inside and outside to clean up the attacking Chinese troops.

Soon, they entered Liu Bolong's ambush circle.

The sound of gunfire, this time it was all made in Hanyang, mixed with the sound of Czech machine guns, and the explosion of wooden handles made in Guangxi. The Japanese squadron leader knew that he had fallen into the legendary ambush, and in a hurry, he could not organize an attack with the enemy, and only by running out of this area quickly was to survive, and shouted: "Run, run out of this place." ”

The Japanese who could run used their greatest strength to escape as fast as possible, but more than half of the Japanese could never run out of this area, and Liu Bolong's battalion of dense fire nets left them on this land.

The Japanese, who were still alive, finally escaped from the death zone, bending over with their tongues outstretched and gasping loudly, their eyes darkened and their heads swollen with too intense movement. Xu Le said to Liu Keji: "This kind of devil, if you can run out of one, it will be our shame." ”

Liu Ke nodded and said, "It's almost like a dead dog, wait a little longer, let them gather together, it's too scattered to fight, and it's easy to herd sheep." ”

When the slower Japanese caught up, sixty or seventy devils gathered together, the 38 rifle in Xu Le's hand rang out, followed by the concentrated shooting of more than 200 people, this kind of target like a fixed target for Xu Le's people, there was not too much difficulty, after two shots, the remaining devils were lying on the ground.

Soon, Liu Bolong's battalion finished cleaning the battlefield and rushed up from behind, and by the way, after cleaning the battlefield here, he took off all the devils' shoes and left the bullets for Xu Le as a supplement. Seeing that Xu Le and Liu Ke had come down, Liu Bolong said with a smile: "I'll go to the old barracks and clean up the wounded soldiers there, do you leave or continue to fish here?" ”

"Let's keep fishing here." Xu Le said: "I estimate that at this time, the Japanese have entered the ambush circle of the second and third battalions, where the largest strength of our regiment is concentrated, the engineer company is buried*, and the artillery company has used all the mortars and hand guns, this time it will definitely hurt the Japanese, if they go forward regardless of it, we can only watch them, if they retreat, I can kill a few more." ”

"Okay, if you slipped through the net, I'll find a way to clean up in the old barracks." After Liu Bolong finished speaking, he left with the soldiers.

Xu Le's estimate was good, at this time, Xiduo San was dancing in the rain of bullets from the second battalion and the third battalion of the 1056th regiment.

Kita Tatsusan sent off the reinforced squadron and continued to move forward, walking about a kilometer, and saw a trench appear in the middle of the mountain, Kita Tatsusan had experience, and knew that this kind of trench was a trick for the opponent, and no one would exist at all, so he ignored the trench anymore, but swaggered across the road below the trench. When the first * sounded, Kita knew that he was wrong again, this was the serious ambush point of the eight hundred, and the real ambush of the opponent was here. A storm of bullets, mixed with 70* and forehand guns, was enveloped in smoke in less than a minute. The well-trained Japanese troops immediately dispersed, looked for a suitable place and began to return fire on the Chinese army on their own. The Chinese army occupied the advantageous position, as well as trenches and bunkers, and the Japanese army completely exposed their bodies to the Chinese army, bullets on both sides were flying wildly, and only Huang Tianhua was heard shouting: "Kill them, kill them." ”

Seeing that his troops were in too passive situations, he ordered them to retreat, and the seven or eight hundred Japanese soldiers who were still able to move around threw away their mortars and other heavy weapons and ran away.

Huang Tianhua won a big victory.

The Japanese army retreated in front of Xu Le, seeing that although the Japanese army retreated, there were still a lot of troops, far beyond their sniper ability, Xu Le stopped Liu Keji, who was about to move, did not attack, but let the Japanese army retreat smoothly, looking at the Japanese army disappearing in front of the mountain pass, Xu Lecai said: "The enemy army is large, not our two hundred or so people can eat, it will be troublesome to be entangled by them, the coming day is long, and next time I will find a chance to kill them." Liu Ke nodded in agreement.

It is worthy of being brought out by a master, Liu Bolong's thoughts are exactly the same as Xu Le's, seeing that the retreating Japanese army is strong, he left the old barracks with the troops, and did not forget to take away all the devil's leather shoes and bullets when he left.

Looking at the corpses in the old barracks, Xi Duo shouted sadly: "If you are a warrior, you will come out to fight for three hundred rounds, and you will specialize in these unsightly conspiracies and tricks, which is obscene and despicable!" ”

Unfortunately, his opponents could not hear his call, let alone accept his challenge.
