Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 2892 Night attack on Guizhong camp!

Duanwu brought the Mashan Cannon, and Long Qianyan and others waited at the ambush site behind the grain transport team for nearly three hours. Apart from the occasional bird calls and the rustling of leaves in the wind, there were no other strange sounds in the forest.

Ma Shanpao was impatient and could not stand the long silence. He came to Duanwu's side and said in a low voice, "Captain, why haven't these devils come yet? Could it be that they got lost along the way?"

Long Qianyan listened from the side and sneered, "Lost? You really dare to think so. I think the devils are afraid that we will ambush them, so they dare not chase them!"

Duanwu frowned and ignored the two people's teasing.

He knew in his heart that the Japs had suffered such a great loss this time that they would never give up chasing the grain transport team easily.

But they waited for so long, but the other party didn't catch up. There must be a reason for this.

Duanwu was wondering why the Japanese gave up chasing the grain transport team?

They must have more important things to do.

Suddenly, a light bulb went off in his head and he remembered the disappearance of Kujo Miyakita a few days ago.

According to intelligence, there is a high possibility that there is a problem within the Japanese ranks.

This is naturally good news for the Anti-Japanese Brigade. If he takes people back now, I'm afraid the journey will not be smooth.

But he had been waiting here for more than two hours, and he was reluctant to go back like this.

Thinking of this, Duanwu's eyes rolled. No matter whether there is a bird or not, he might as well grab it first. Anyway, the grain transport team is safe now.

So Duanwu immediately said, "Brother Ma, come here!"

"To!"

Ma Hu quickly shouted "Here", then quickly ran to Duanwu's side and lay down.

Long Qianyan also gave up a seat to Ma Hu.

At this time, Duanwu said to Ma Hu: "You should take the reconnaissance team immediately and look for traces of the devils along the route they may take. Once you find anything, report it via the radio immediately!"

"It's the captain!"

After receiving the order, Ma Hu quickly gathered the members of the reconnaissance team and searched for the traces of the Japanese along the way they came.

·············
An hour and a half later, the sky was just getting light and the earth was still covered with a thin layer of mist. The Japanese camp was immersed in silence.

However, the tranquility was soon broken by the sound of hurried footsteps.

Duanwu and the anti-Japanese soldiers have quietly reached the edge of Guizuka Youming's camp.

Duanwu discovered through the telescope that the enemy's defense was very tight, with a total strength of between six and seven infantry squadrons, totaling more than 1,500 people.

Moreover, the other party has arranged the outposts very carefully, and with the patrol teams, it is like an iron barrel.

Therefore, if you want to attack this kind of camp, there is only one possibility, that is to catch the enemy off guard with absolute superior firepower.

It was impossible to completely annihilate the enemy, as Duanwu had only more than 430 troops at that time, while the enemy had nearly 1,500.

Unless the Japs line up one by one for him to kill, it would be a joke to wipe them out completely.

Moreover, this battle cannot develop into a full-scale battle. The number of Japanese devils is large, and if the anti-Japanese brigade's forces are dispersed, they may be defeated one by one by the enemy.

Therefore, Duanwu prepared to use artillery bombardment to cause chaos in the Japanese army, and then the infantry would cut through the entire devil camp from the northwest to the southeast, making it impossible for the devil to finish off the rear.

Once the Japanese were cut off, they would have only one way to retreat.

In other words, the purpose of this battle was not to annihilate the enemy completely, but to defeat the enemy and seize another wave of their weapons and equipment. Duanwu didn't know why this group of enemy soldiers was so rich, and a large number of their weapons and equipment were scattered around the camp.

Duanwu certainly didn't know that before he arrived, the Japanese had killed each other and secretly executed nearly a thousand people.

So their weapons and equipment were naturally left in the camp.

Of course, Duanwu didn't care about that, all these weapons and equipment would be his. Especially the shells, Duanwu had almost used up all the shells after several battles. It was just the right time to replenish them.

Duanwu put away the telescope and ordered in a low voice: "Artillery squad, get ready. Listen to my command and fire at the enemy camp! First, concentrate your firepower on the ammunition depot near the largest military tent. The largest military tent should be the temporary headquarters of the enemy. We must cause chaos in their camp!"

"Yes, Captain!"

After receiving the order, the squad leader of the artillery squad immediately took action, skillfully adjusting the angle and direction of the artillery, ready to fire at any time.

At this time, Duanwu instructed Ma Shanpao and Long Qianyan: "When the artillery fires, you will find the right time to charge the enemy camp. Remember to cooperate with each other and split the enemy camp into two."

"Yes!"

Long Qianyan and Ma Shanpao also took the order and left.

At this time, Duanwu looked back and forth over the enemy camp, looking for the best time to fire.

The Japanese soldiers were very tired at this time. Although the sentry posts were well arranged, some of them were so tired that they fell asleep.

But it can be seen that their commander was very strict. The dozing Japanese soldiers woke up immediately after they found themselves asleep.

At this time, Duanwu even admired the commander of this camp.

Of course, admiration is admiration, and killing the Japanese is killing the Japanese. These are two different things.

After confirming that most of the Japanese soldiers were nodding their heads due to exhaustion and looking up, Duanwu suddenly shouted, "Fire!"

boom! boom! boom!
Following Duanwu's order, artillery shells pierced the darkness before dawn like meteors and whistled towards the Japanese camp.

In an instant, flames shot up into the sky and explosions were deafening in the Japanese camp.

The ammunition depot was hit, instantly triggering a violent chain explosion. A huge fireball rose into the air and instantly engulfed the surrounding Japanese soldiers.

The Japanese command post was not spared either. It was turned into ruins under the bombardment of artillery shells. The Japanese officers fled everywhere, screaming in agony.

The Japanese were panicked by the sudden artillery fire, and the originally tight defense began to show a brief chaos.

Duanwu seized the opportunity and immediately ordered: "Long Qianyan, Ma Shanpao, attack immediately, charge from the northwest to the southeast, and cut through the enemy's camp!"

"Yes!"

Long Qianyan and Ma Shanpao received the order at the same time and shouted, "Brothers, charge!"

"Come on!"

The Anti-Japanese Allied Forces fighters also roared and rushed towards the devil's camp!

Under the cover of artillery fire, the soldiers of the Anti-Japanese Brigade quickly approached the devil's camp.

Upon seeing this, the Japanese officers shouted loudly and ordered the Japanese soldiers who were hiding from the artillery fire to assemble.

But at this moment, the submachine guns and machine guns in the hands of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces fighters started firing, and a terrifying rain of bullets came, and the Japanese fell to the ground wherever they passed.

At this point, let alone organizing an effective resistance, it would be difficult for these little devils to survive the rain of bullets!
