Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 2142: Heavy damage to the Japanese army’s baggage!

Colonel Sato, Yamada, and Takahashi did not believe that the guerrillas had the ability and strength to attack their baggage and artillery units.

The Japanese baggage troops and artillery troops did not believe that anyone would ambush them. Except that their strength has almost caught up with a fully formed brigade, and they are less than one kilometer away from the main force. At such a distance, who dares to attack them? I simply don’t want to live anymore.

But Duanwu did exactly the opposite. He had already led more than two hundred elite members of the Chunjiang Hao guerrillas to get close to the Japanese baggage troops and artillery troops.

Duanwu personally set up the mortar on the hillside.

The key to this battle is to destroy the leading truck and block it on the road, making it impossible for the vehicles behind it to pass, and they can only passively be beaten on the mountain road.

At the same time, an artillery team of twenty-four people was also ready.

They had four mortars and eight grenades.

In addition, there were twenty machine gunners, and the rest all used the little Japanese's Type 38 rifles.

Although they still don't have much advantage in numbers, they have the special effect of an ambush.

This is like a BUFF in the game.

With this special effect, Dragon Boat Festival can take the lead. At least he will not suffer any loss in this battle.

So Duanwu silently calculated the flight distance and angle of the shell while slightly adjusting the muzzle of the mortar with his hands.

He knew very well that the accuracy of this shot would directly affect the outcome of the subsequent battle.

He had to knock out the lead car and block the way of the Japs in order to kill the Japs' baggage troops as much as possible.

Of course, the artillery attack distance of more than 100 meters is indeed too childish for the Dragon Boat Festival.

But even so, he was prepared to fire three quick shots first.

"Prepare!"

Duanwu gave the order, and the shell in his hand was already put into the barrel of the 80 mm caliber mortar.

The shell rushed out of the muzzle with a sharp whistling sound, piercing the silence in the jungle, and rushed towards the front of the Japanese convoy like a meteor!

At that moment, the entire battlefield seemed to be at a standstill, with only the sound of cannonballs piercing the sky echoing.

Boom!

A moment later, a deafening explosion sounded, and the shell accurately hit the target.

The fire and smoke instantly swallowed up the entire car, enveloping it in a sea of ​​orange-red flames.

The shock wave of the explosion was like a strong wind, knocking the nearby Japanese soldiers to the ground and instantly losing their combat effectiveness.

The car wreckage was scattered in all directions in the explosion, and some Japanese were even blown into the air, flying in the air like tattered garbage blown up by the strong wind.

And when they landed, they fell like dead dogs, and then fell silent.

At the same time, under Duanwu's order, the guerrilla artillery squad also followed.

They quickly loaded the artillery shells into the barrel and fired the artillery shells at the Japanese convoy, which was still in a state of confusion.

The shells hit the Japanese convoy with the roar of the wind.

The first shell accurately landed in the compartment of a truck. With a deafening explosion, the Japanese ammunition in the compartment was exploded, and the truck was instantly blown to pieces.

The truck's tires were blown off and it rolled a hundred meters away. The truck's body disintegrated on the spot and burst into flames.

Immediately afterwards, the second and third cannonballs fell one after another, each one hitting the target accurately. Even the Dragon Boat Festival felt a little incredible.

With such a hit rate, he even felt that the artilleryman he had just trained was already capable of taking charge on his own.

Of course, this might just be a coincidence.

But no matter what, these three accurately hit artillery shells not only established the success of this ambush, but also directly plunged the little Japanese convoy into chaos.

Black smoke emitted from the bombed-out vehicles, and burning flames illuminated the entire battlefield. The Japanese who were still alive ran around in panic.

"Enemy attack! Take cover!" the Japanese officer shouted loudly, but his voice seemed so weak amid the continuous explosions.

He waved the command knife in his hand and tried to organize an effective counterattack, but the entire convoy had been scattered by artillery fire, and the soldiers were fighting independently, unable to form an effective counterattack at all.

What's more, at this time, the guerrilla machine gunners and infantry cooperated with each other and also launched an attack on the Japanese.

The machine gun in the hands of the machine gunner roared like a roaring beast. The tongues of fire swallowed wildly, pouring rows of bullets into the Japs' bodies without mercy.

Bullets flew everywhere, and the hit Japanese soldiers' blood splattered everywhere. They could only struggle painfully in the rain of bullets, then fell down, and finally died in despair.

But this one-sided massacre only lasted less than thirty seconds.

The little devils are not a bunch of losers, let alone the elites known as the flowers of the imperial army.

After the sudden artillery attack and shooting, the Japanese officers finally organized several small teams to launch a counterattack against the guerrillas.

Chuchuchu! Chuchuchu!

The Japanese machine guns also began to get impatient, and dense bullets whizzed through the air, forming a criss-crossing fire net with the guerrilla bullets in the air.

This firepower network extended to both sides of the warring parties, and people were constantly injured and killed.

On the battlefield, gunshots and explosions occurred one after another, as if they would never stop.

The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder and gunpowder smoke, making vision blurry.

But under the command of Duanwu, the advantage of the battle is still on their side.

Dragon Boat Festival immediately ordered the artillery to provide full fire coverage. Don't begrudge the artillery shells and evacuate quickly after firing a base.

Dragon Boat Festival did not directly swallow the idea of ​​​​Japanese artillery and baggage troops. That is simply unrealistic.

Just as Colonel Sato thought, even if the artillery brigade and the baggage troops are just a bunch of pigs, the guerrillas still have to kill them for a while, right?

What's more, these are all Japs armed to the teeth.

Therefore, what Dragon Boat Festival wanted was heavy damage, an ambush in a very short period of time, and then quickly withdrew from the battle after reaching the intended target, leaving the Japanese alone with their helpless roars.

The goal of the Dragon Boat Festival was achieved. In the successive artillery attacks, as well as the shooting of machine guns and rifles, the number of Japanese casualties reached at least two hundred people. Six material vehicles were blown up, and four large-caliber mountain cannons were blown up.

Such a record has made Dragon Boat Festival very happy. It can be said that this battle can be described as a complete victory.

Of course, this also requires them to evacuate safely.

Sato, Yamada, and Takahashi, these three old devils, are not fools.

They realized they had been fooled when they heard an explosion behind them. The enemy fighting them head-on is most likely a decoy, and the enemy's real target is his baggage troops and artillery troops.

So Sato and other old devils rushed back with their people to support them, and they were less than a kilometer away in just a few words!
