Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 2141 The first battle was successful, the Japanese army was trapped!

While the three old Japanese soldiers Sato, Yamada, and Takahashi were still shocked by the explosive power of the mine array, a sudden burst of gunfire sounded like a heavy rain just to the west of them, behind the hillside that was not suitable for ambush.

It turned out that Long Qianyan, in accordance with Duanwu's command, decisively directed the reserve troops to carry out a second strike against the remaining Japanese soldiers in the mine array after the mines detonated.

These Japanese and puppet troops were either killed or injured in the explosion of the mine array, or they were turned into concussed pigs.

And such a bargain is nothing, not to mention that the purpose of the Dragon Boat Festival is not just that.

So in the moment of tranquility after the explosion, Long Qianyan led his troops to suddenly attack.

Although in the team, except for a few experienced veterans such as Long Qianyan and Dumb, most of the new recruits were still unfamiliar with their shooting skills and could hardly hit a target two hundred meters away.

But at this moment, their numbers became their biggest advantage. More than three hundred guerrillas opened fire at the same time, plus several machine guns in the hands of veterans. Even if they fired with their eyes closed, several Japanese and puppet soldiers would hit the bullets themselves.

The Japanese and puppet troops, who had not yet recovered from the explosion, seemed somewhat at a loss under the sudden attack. They tried to organize an effective counterattack, but their brains simply did not obey them.

The words about the concussed pig just now were not a mere irony, but after the huge explosion, even if the person is still alive, the brain at this time cannot think like a normal person.

They simply became live targets for the guerrilla recruits to practice their guns.

At the same time, grenade bombardments also joined the melee.

The guerrillas have trained a lot of artillery this time, and in addition to the artillery, many veterans or smarter recruits will use this thing.

Otherwise, the entire guerrilla force would not have been equipped with thirty grenades during the Dragon Boat Festival.

Grenades have advantages over mortars in jungle combat. The first is that it is portable. Second, its ammunition is relatively easy to obtain. If the little devil's 50mm artillery shells are used up, Type 91 grenades can be used to replace the artillery shells.

Therefore, in order to train the guerrillas to use grenades skillfully, Duanwu also took great pains.

But his painstaking efforts were not in vain. The eight grenade launchers were probably more powerful than the shooting of three hundred men.

With deafening explosions, the Japanese and puppet troops were in chaos.

And the three Japs Sato, Yamada, and Takahashi finally woke up from the shock.

Anger flashed in his eyes, but they finally understood that the guerrillas in front of them were not as weak as they had imagined before, just a group of stragglers, but a main force with strict organization and sophisticated equipment.

Their combat effectiveness and tactical literacy far exceeded his expectations. Although it seems that their marksmanship is still not very good.

Seeing this, Osaka Sato smiled, he found the enemy's weakness.

The enemy's marksmanship is very average, and it is difficult to cause much trouble to his troops at a distance of more than 200 meters.

At this time, the casualties of his forward troops were still increasing, entirely because of the explosion they had just encountered.

As long as you give them some time, this battle can be overturned at any time.

And they don't have as many enemies as they think.

Thinking of this, Sato immediately ordered: "Order an infantry squad to go to the front for reinforcements, and build fortifications for me on the spot, and stabilize the position first." An infantry squad quickly stepped forward, and they bowed and hurried towards the direction of the forward troops. They ran, bullets flying above their heads.

And it would be false to say that the little devils were not panicking at this time, they were also afraid.

But they had no choice. They would die if they disobeyed their commander's orders on the battlefield.

But it was too scary. The enemy's bullets seemed to be trying to avoid them, but just when they relaxed, the bullets either flew past their helmets or hit them in front of their footsteps.

Some Japanese were so frightened that they yelled: "Baga, if you want to hit me, hit me accurately. If you do this, you will scare people to death."

But in the next second, a bullet hit him squarely between the eyebrows.

Obviously, it was Long Qianyan who gave him a peanut.

Long Qianyan's shot scared the little devil so much that he didn't dare to scold him any more and went to dig fortifications obediently.

At the same time, Old Japanese Sato gave another order. He ordered the 3rd Infantry Squadron of Sato Battalion to make a detour to the south, trying to break through the guerrilla defense line from the flank; while Yamada 1st Squadron was ordered to wait for the opportunity and prepare to attack from the enemy's north. Outflank the side.

The Japanese messengers quickly conveyed Colonel Sato's orders to various ministries. All Japanese and puppet troops took action.

And at the same time, Colonel Sato looked at the empty escort team and decided to mobilize the other three squadrons of the Yamada Battalion from behind.

The enemy's sudden attack caused very heavy losses to his Sato brigade. At least nearly two squadrons suffered heavy casualties in the previous mine array explosion.

Moreover, he visually observed that the number of enemies seemed to be smaller than the intelligence indicated, and he was worried that the other party would suddenly launch a surprise attack on his temporary headquarters and carry out a beheading operation.

This is a very common tactic on the battlefield. When the enemy is strong and we are weak, it is the best choice to behead the enemy's commanders.

Therefore, after the Sato Brigade dispatched all the nearby Japanese troops, they were worried that their headquarters would be attacked by a sneak attack, so they dispatched the infantry of the Yamada Brigade to reinforce and protect his temporary headquarters.

Yamada and Takahashi, two old Japanese, also agreed very much. After all, their lives were more important. yes

Subsequently, Sato ordered Takahashi's artillery brigade to speed up their march, so that they could arrive quickly and launch artillery bombardments on the enemy positions.

However, the marching speed of artillery is obviously not comparable to that of infantry.

When the infantry had approached the temporary headquarters, the Japs' baggage troops and artillery troops were still far behind, at least one kilometer away from them.

Despite this, Colonel Sato was not worried about the safety of the baggage troops and artillery troops.

After all, they have a huge team - nearly 500 people in the artillery brigade, nearly 300 people in the baggage force, and are also equipped with 13 trucks of various types. Such strength is enough to deter any small group of enemies.

In Colonel Sato's view, the main force of the guerrillas was fighting fiercely with him, and it was impossible for them to have the energy to attack his baggage troops and artillery units.

After all, it was a team of eight hundred people! Even if they are all pigs, the guerrillas still have to kill them for a while, right?

Moreover, the distance between his main force and the baggage force was less than one kilometer at most.

In such a short distance, unless the guerrilla enemies are tired of living, they will never dare to easily ambush his baggage troops and artillery troops!
