Chapter 275 A textbook-level ambush battle!
Five Japanese soldiers came to Guitou Ridge with rifles in hand.
The soldiers in ambush lay down twenty or thirty meters away from the road, not daring to breathe out for fear of being discovered by the Japanese.
Through the gaps in the grass, you can even clearly see the Japanese's rubber-soled shoes and their bright reflective Type 30 bayonets.
The heads of several main force regiments, Brigadier Chen and others suddenly felt their hearts in their throats.
At this time, if even one soldier in the two main regiments made a noise and was discovered by the Japanese, the ambush plan would be ruined.
Fortunately, the five Japanese soldiers walked to the road in Guitouling with their rifles in hand, took a casual look, and then walked back.
This road was often used by Japanese transport troops, and they were very familiar with the terrain here, so they thought it was impossible for someone to set up an ambush here.
The Japanese soldiers trotted all the way to Lieutenant Colonel Isotani's car, paused and said: "Report Lieutenant Colonel, no abnormalities were found ahead!"
Lieutenant Colonel Isotani said: "Tell Major Kudo that after passing Guitou Ridge, the cavalry squadron will go to Yushe County at full speed for reinforcements, and also order the infantry to speed up!"
"Hi!" The Japanese soldier paused, then trotted forward quickly.
About a minute later, the Japs resumed their march, obviously speeding up a bit. The cavalry jogged uphill in front, raising a large cloud of dust. The Japs in the rear were eating dust with their rifles on their shoulders. However, the Japs were extremely well-educated and kept pace.
, running out and making a neat sound of kicking, which could be heard from a distance.
Commander Shinozuka's order to Lieutenant Colonel Isotani was to rush to Yushe County as quickly as possible to reinforce the Kuroshima Cavalry Regiment at all costs, otherwise military law will be imposed!
Although I don’t know what kind of trouble the Black Island Regiment encountered in Yushe County, and what trouble Tuba Road could cause to the Cavalry Regiment, soldiers obey orders as their bounden duty. Isotani immediately assembled No. 2000 elite soldiers, carrying heavy weapons.
Go to Yushe County.
After passing Guitou Ridge, there is a smooth road. With the speed of the cavalry, you can reach Yushe County in less than two hours.
As long as the cavalry holds back the Eighth Route Army and waits for the arrival of the larger army, the Eighth Route Army's siege of Yushe County will naturally fall apart.
The Japanese jogged all the way up the road in Guitouling. They were so anxious to get on the road that they didn't even pay attention to the situation on the roadside.
When all the Japanese soldiers entered the ambush circle, a sudden gunshot sounded the horn of attack.
First, gunshots rang out from the cavalry of the Japs’ vanguard force, and then, gunshots sounded like exploding beans from the front, middle and rear sections of the Japs’ team.
The guns and cannons lying in ambush on both sides of the road spurted out tongues of fire. In an instant, the Japanese fell down like dry grass meeting a sharp blade.
The wooden-handled grenade fell from the Japs head like a dumpling, and immediately burst into a series of explosions.
The hand grenades made in the border area only exploded in two halves. They were not as good as the Japanese melon grenades, but they could not withstand the large number.
The artillery battalion of the 386th Brigade mounted its mortars and mountain artillery directly above the road, aiming at the Japanese and firing directly at them.
The sudden and violent attack stunned the Japanese. Some of the Japanese fled with their guns in hand, while others resisted under the command of the officers.
There was a Japanese commander standing there, drawing his command sword, roaring angrily, pointing the blade at the ambushed Eighth Route Army, and screaming wildly urging the soldiers to counterattack and suppress them.
The next moment, a shell hit the Japanese commander's body, and with an explosion, the Japanese commander's body immediately tore into pieces.
The exciting and urgent charge horn sounded!
Before the Japanese could react, countless soldiers from the 386th Brigade jumped up from the fortifications and ditches. Holding bayonets, broadswords and spears, they rushed into the enemy group and started hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese.
Immediately afterwards, the commanders and fighters lying in ambush rushed to the highway and fought with the Japanese!
A certain sage named Lu once said that when we meet on a narrow road, the one who strikes first is the strongest.
The Eighth Route Army soldiers' ambush position was only twenty or thirty meters away from the road. Fighting on the ridge, the Japanese heavy weapons could not be used, and they would not be given time to use them.
However, the Japanese's reaction was also extremely quick. When they saw the Eighth Route Army coming towards them and engaging in hand-to-hand combat, they came towards them with bayonets in their hands, howling and howling.
This was a head-to-head hand-to-hand battle, with both sides furious. The clang of weapons clashing, the muffled sound of gun butts hitting flesh, the screams of the dying, and the roars of the murderer all suddenly became audible.
At least half of the two main regiments are veterans of the Red Army. They have experienced hundreds of battles. In terms of will, courage and fighting skills, they are not inferior to Japanese soldiers.
The Japanese soldiers knew that there were few of them. Most of them were three people holding a regiment, holding bayonets back to back. They stared at the surroundings with gloomy eyes. Anyone who dared to come up to tease you would stab you directly.
However, the Eighth Route Army had a huge numerical advantage. More than a dozen people surrounded the three Japanese soldiers, stabbing them with bayonets, broadswords and spears at the same time. The three Japanese soldiers who were grouped together were instantly stabbed into a hornet's nest.
The reconnaissance company commander of the 772nd Regiment is named Wang Dashan. He is the one who led the recruit company of the 772nd Regiment to fight against a small Japanese team and was defeated.
At this time, Wang Dashan had been transformed, and the company of recruits he led has now become the reconnaissance company of the 772nd Regiment. The recruits who survived that battle are now veterans who have experienced hundreds of battles.
Captain Wang, holding a shell gun in one hand and a large blade in the other, was the first to rush onto the road. His first opponent was a Japanese second lieutenant holding a bayonet.
This Japs second lieutenant didn't scream like other Japs, and his eyes were cold. He turned a blind eye to the brutal hand-to-hand combat around him, and only stared at Company Commander Wang. He saw that the opponent should be an Eighth Route officer. Ordinary Eighth Route soldiers rarely have such things as shell guns.
of.
The two of them looked at each other and circled around like cockfights for several times. The Japanese second lieutenant couldn't help it. He shouted "Xinei" and stabbed Captain Wang with a bayonet.
Snapped--
Captain Wang held a broadsword in his right hand and prepared to block. He raised his wrist with his right hand, raised the muzzle of the gun and fired a shot, hitting the Japanese Second Lieutenant in the lower abdomen.
A bloody hole immediately appeared on the Japanese Second Lieutenant's stomach, and the Second Lieutenant's figure suddenly froze, showing an expression of disbelief.
Captain Wang blocked the bayonet with his knife, took a step forward and struck out with his wrist. The blade swept across and cut the Japanese Second Lieutenant's throat.
Then, Captain Wang took a shell gun and a machete and pounced on the next Japanese soldier.
The use of both swords and guns is a unique skill that Captain Wang has mastered in many hand-to-hand battles, and he is now very good at using it.
The Japs who advocated cold weapons and Bushido rarely faced him in a white ninja battle.
Some people also say that he does not have martial ethics.
Company Commander Wang was very disdainful. Talking about martial ethics to the Japanese was not a mental illness.
The battle lasted for nearly two hours, and all the Japs on the road were wiped out. The Japs at the rear, numbering about a hundred people, took advantage of the soldiers' detour and fled towards Licheng County.
Far away from the battlefield, just as the Japanese soldiers felt a sense of joy about surviving the disaster, they heard the dense and turbulent sound of horse hooves behind them.
