Anti-Japanese War: I have unlimited assistance

Chapter 158 The only choice is to take a gamble!
The Sharp Blade Commando has been keeping an eye on the Zhengtai Railway for the past two days and has summarized some patterns.

Every two hours, a squad of Japanese cavalry would patrol and guard along the railway.

Every two to three hours a Japanese army train passed by.

But no one found the Japanese cavalry squad patrolling with military dogs.

At this critical moment today, the Japanese cavalry appeared with military dogs, which caused big trouble.

The military dog ​​had a collar around its neck with a leash attached, and was held by a Japanese squad leader with the rank of second lieutenant on his shoulder.

Needless to say, Li Yunlong knew that this Japanese soldier must be the squad leader of this cavalry unit.

Li Yunlong didn't know whether the dog was a traitor or a Japanese dog.

If the dog had detected the ambush or smelled the explosives buried under the railway, his ambush plan would have failed.

"We have to find a way to kill that beast."

Li Yunlong put down the eight-fold telescope with a scale in his hand, his expression solemn.

Through the scale of the telescope, Li Yunlong roughly calculated that the Japanese cavalry squad was about 800 meters away from the ambush position.

"Captain, leave it to me."

Zhao Gang beside him was holding a Mauser 98K sniper rifle wrapped with cloth strips, eager to try. He couldn't say that he could hit the dog % at this distance, but he was certain.

"no!"

Li Yunlong shook his head.

"I should be able to handle this distance!"

Zhao Gang thought that Li Yunlong didn't believe in his marksmanship.

Some time ago, although Zhao Gang and Li Yunlong both trained physically with the Blade Commando, Li Yunlong rarely went to the shooting range.

On the one hand, as the commander of the New 1st Regiment, Li Yunlong had a lot of things to do. In addition to training, he also had to find time to learn military and cultural knowledge.

On the other hand, Li Yunlong felt that his marksmanship was good enough. He was proficient in shooting and could skillfully use various long and short guns.

Li Yunlong muttered angrily, "If you open fire, the entire ambush force will be exposed. How can we ambush the Japanese army train?"

Zhao Gang thought about it and had to put down the sniper rifle in his hand.

It’s not that Zhao Gang wants to show off.

This was Zhao Gang's first time to participate in a serious battle. He was a little anxious and did not think things through.

"Commander, let our cavalry platoon lead the Japanese cavalry away."

Just as Li Yunlong was thinking about countermeasures, Sun Desheng came up to Li Yunlong with a pistol.

"Sun Desheng, how do you plan to lure away the Japanese cavalry?" Li Yunlong's expression changed and he asked in a low voice.

The Japanese military dogs and cavalry squad were approaching, and the dog was sniffing here and there on the railway.

Where the Japanese soldiers and military dogs passed, there were many bodies of civilians and prisoners of war lying around. Li Yunlong planned to send soldiers to bury them after avenging them.

"First, we'll start a round of shooting to kill the Japanese military dogs and a few Japanese cavalrymen, and then lure the Japanese cavalrymen away." Sun Desheng reported his plan.

Li Yunlong raised a question: "The Japanese are better at riding than our cavalry. What if they catch up with us?"

In terms of equipment, the cavalry platoon used the same equipment as the Japanese, both Type 32 cavalry swords and Type 44 cavalry rifles.

In terms of troop strength, including Sun Desheng, the cavalry platoon had only 38 cavalrymen in total, with a training time of less than two months, while the Japanese cavalry squad had a strength of about 50.

The Japanese had more troops, were better trained, and had better riding skills.

If the cavalry platoon was caught up by the Japanese cavalry squad, it would be completely wiped out, and Li Yunlong would be heartbroken. Sun Desheng looked thoughtful.

Although all the soldiers in the cavalry platoon were not afraid of death, they had only trained for less than two months, used the same equipment and weapons, and were outnumbered when fighting against the well-trained elite Japanese cavalry. The cavalry of the New 1st Regiment was bound to be no match for the Japanese cavalry.

Sun Desheng looked around and suddenly his eyes lit up.

"Captain, have the Guard Company distribute the 30 or so submachine guns to our cavalry platoon and return them to the Guard Company after this battle."

"I promise to complete the mission, lure away the Japanese cavalry, and destroy this group of Japanese from a distance!"

Since our troops and individual soldier quality are not as good as the Japanese cavalry, we can only increase our firepower!

"Row!"

Li Yunlong thought for a moment, nodded, and looked at Zhang Dabiao, "Dabiao, distribute your company to the cavalry platoon and give them more than 30 submachine guns."

"Yes!"

Zhang Dabiao always carried out Li Yunlong's orders to the letter and quickly ordered the soldiers of the guard company to distribute the submachine guns to the guard platoon.

During the last surprise attack on Taigu, Li Yunlong earned 230 submachine guns. After the guard platoon was expanded into a guard company, Li Yunlong equipped the guard company with 60 submachine guns, greatly enhancing its firepower.

Since the troops were lying in ambush on the reverse slope of the earthen slope, the Japanese could not see the situation on the reverse slope at all.

The cavalry platoon was in a small woods not far behind the ambush position, and Li Yunlong ordered the cavalry platoon not to participate in the battle.

Seeing the opportunity, Sun Desheng volunteered.

More than 30 soldiers from the guard platoon came to the grove carrying submachine guns and gave the submachine guns and bullets to the cavalry.

Sun Desheng summoned three squad leaders, quickly explained the enemy situation and mission, and issued orders.

At the ambush position, Zhong Zhicheng said with concern: "Eighth Route Army cavalry appeared near Zhengtai Road. What if the Japanese army column dare not come over?"

"We can only take a gamble now." Li Yunlong frowned slightly. Anything and any emergency may happen on the battlefield. It mainly depends on how the commander responds.

It is very easy to eliminate this group of Japanese cavalry. Once they enter the ambush circle, the ambush troops only need one round of shooting to wipe out all of them in less than a minute.

The powerful 20mm machine gun can destroy the Japanese cavalry.

but!

Once the firing starts here, the Japanese in the nearby station will definitely hear the gunshots and explosions, and the entire combat operation will inevitably fail.

In this situation, we have no choice but to take a gamble!
……

Goro Mitani led a cavalry squad from Xiapanshi Station and patrolled and guarded in the direction of Yangquan.

Leading the charge was the wolf-blue dog he had raised for three years. This military dog ​​was a search dog with high intelligence and loyalty. Goro Mitani liked it very much. It was dangerous to go out, so he didn't take it with him on patrol. Today, an order came from the superiors that an important military train would pass through in the afternoon, and he had to make sure that nothing could go wrong, so Goro Mitani took it out on patrol.

If something happens to this important military train in the defense zone they are responsible for, the person in charge will have to commit seppuku!
Goro Mitani ordered the wolfhound to search the railway carefully.

"Bang bang bang..."

Suddenly, a burst of gunfire was heard, and the wolf-blue dog and several Japanese cavalrymen fell in a pool of blood in an instant.

Goro Mitani and the Japanese cavalry were frightened and thought they were ambushed.

However, after seeing that there were only a small group of more than 30 Chinese cavalrymen on the slope, they raised their guns and fired back, but the Chinese cavalry quickly disappeared on the slope, leaving them in vain.

"idiot."

As a dog lover, Goro Mitani became furious when his beloved dog was shot dead by the other party.

He ordered a cavalryman to return to the station to wave the men, then drew his command knife and shouted angrily, "Chase!"
