Liang Jian: I have a canteen

Chapter 900 The attack begins

Due to distance reasons, the two teams attacking the Arsenal did not meet directly.

The plans were all made in advance, and Lieutenant Colonel Kazama on the other side only had to follow the plan.

The Japanese people's execution ability is still very strong. After receiving the order from Gang Qi, Kazama immediately deployed his team to surround the arsenal.

As the bird took off, Li Yunlong pulled the horse's head.

He covered his forehead with his hands, built a pergola with his hands and looked in the direction of the frightened birds.

After watching for a while, he shouted, "Zhang Fugui!"

"Have!"

After hearing Li Yunlong's call, a soldier immediately ran over, "Director!"

"Take two people to investigate in that direction. Two in the open and one in the dark. Be careful to stay hidden."

This direction made him feel uneasy. Although it was not a matter of life and death, it made him feel uncomfortable speaking out. If it wasn't for escorting supplies, he would definitely send someone over to take a look!

Instead of continuing to ride the war horse, he turned over and dismounted, "Everyone disperse, be careful!"

The forest was very quiet. Apart from the chirping of insects, there was not even a sound of birds.

The towering trees blocked the sky, leaving only dappled sunlight filtering through the gaps in the leaves and casting speckled light and shadow on the ground. In this dappled light and shadow, occasionally one or two mice would quietly run by. They seemed to be very busy. Panicked, he doesn't care even if he encounters a large group of humans.

Half an hour later, after Li Yunlong passed through an open space, the uneasiness that had been surrounding him suddenly disappeared.

The wind rustled the leaves.

Zhang Fugui accepted the order and found two clever soldiers who moved in the direction designated by Li Yunlong.

Although this is an inexplicable intuition, Li Yunlong relied on this inexplicable intuition to survive until now.

Li Yunlong took out the box cannon behind him and walked to the front of the team.

The escort team set off again. Perhaps because of uneasiness, Li Yunlong increased the marching speed and sent out a few more scouts.

Li Yunlong let out a breath, feeling that he might really be suspicious.

Not only the animals, but also Li Yunlong felt that something was about to happen.

About an hour later, Zhang Fugui returned to the team with two soldiers.

Everything seemed strange in this dark forest.

The war horse under his crotch snorted and scratched the ground uneasily.

"Yes!"

After a while the war horse settled down.

They didn't find anything unusual.

Li Yunlong held the reins with one hand and gently stroked the soft flesh on the horse's neck with the other to comfort him.

After receiving the order, the team escorting the supplies immediately dispersed. After a while, the team expanded into a ring. The outer circle was the guard company and soldiers with combat experience, and the inner circle was technical workers and female soldiers.

Li Yunlong raised his eyebrows slightly and urged the team to move forward faster.

The team moved very fast, and it didn't take long before they disappeared into the dense woods again.

In the distance, on a high cliff, Lieutenant Commander Kazama put down the telescope in his hand with a look of regret.

The adjutant next to him also said with regret, "Master Kazama, why did you let them go?"

Regarding the deputy's question, Kazama patiently answered, "From their formation and marching speed, we can judge that they are a well-trained force! If we take action, we will not be able to annihilate them all. As long as it is not annihilated, let them escape. , there will definitely be news. In this case, our plan to destroy the Eighth Route Army's arsenal will change. Although the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army in China is limited, don't forget that there is an arsenal, a place where weapons and ammunition are produced. There is no need to consider ammunition. It’s expendable! And the most important thing is that they are the defenders!” The deputy lowered his head and said, “Thank you for your guidance, Mr. Kazama!”

Kazama turned around and walked slowly, flanked by his adjutant and several staff officers.

They came to a simple tent together.

This is a temporary command post, the layout is very simple, except for a command with a map and a radio, there is nothing else.

There aren't even stools.

The sound of "Didi, Didi, Didi, Didi." came from the radio, very quickly, with a unique rhythm.

Not long after, the communications soldier finished collecting the telegram and handed a telegram in clear text to Kazama.

Kazama glanced at the message, walked to the command table and began to arrange combat tasks.

Kazama is responsible for the outer encirclement, and Okaki is responsible for the inner encirclement.

An hour later, Gang Qi's troops had surrounded the arsenal, but it was not completely surrounded.

Gang Qi adopted the tactic of surrounding three and one.

Encircling Sanque is one of the principles of fighting with bright front troops. It means that when the attacking party attacks, regardless of whether it has the ability to completely wipe out the enemy, it must leave a "way for survival" for the enemy.

For example, the city wall has four directions, and it is surrounded by three directions, leaving one direction for the enemy to escape, which is also called the besieging army.

The reason for encircling Sanque Yi is that if the enemy is surrounded on all sides, it may prompt the enemy commander to make up his mind to fight to the death.

On the contrary, if a gap is deliberately left, it may cause the enemy commander to waver between fleeing or fighting to the death, and at the same time, it will also cause the enemy soldiers to lose their fighting spirit.

However, leaving a gap is not just a matter of letting it go. First of all, the road must be bright and rugged, suitable for an ambush. The purpose of an ambush is to clear out the escaping troops.

Second, this road must ensure uniqueness and not allow enemy troops to scatter.

Gang Qi stood on the front line, glanced at his watch, and then listened to the information sent back by the scouts.

After hearing the information, a cold smile appeared on his cold face.

His troops had packed up the arsenal, but there didn't seem to be any reaction inside the arsenal, as if they hadn't been discovered at all.

The time pointed to two o'clock, and Gang Qi calmly gave the order: the attack began.

First of all, the first wave of attack is mortars.

After the artillery bombardment, the infantry charged.

This is a tactic used by the enemy. It seems simple, but it is really effective.

With the sound of artillery shells being fired, the mortars on the rear artillery position fired shells one after another.

"boom!"

"boom!"

The firepower, which was not considered intensive, fell sparsely on the fortifications outside the arsenal, killing and wounding many Eighth Route Army soldiers.

The artillery squads that Yoshio Shinozuka assigned to Okaki were all large-caliber. Although the firing density was not high, the killing radius was very large.

Just a few sparse shots in the first round basically destroyed half of my position on the outside.

Facing the enemy attack, Jin Yingrong, as the guard company commander, of course arrived at the front line of the battle as soon as possible.

However, the speed was still a little slow. When he arrived, the Japanese charge was already close at hand.
