At the second ambush point of the reconnaissance company, Gao Tianshu had sent people to plant several land mines on the road. This time he wanted to change his approach. The ambush he chose was no longer close to the grove, but against a small hill in the south of the Yangtze River. The hill is not big, but it is definitely not a favorable terrain for the cavalry. He also ambush two platoons on the hill, with 6 light machine guns and no less than 50 MP28 submachine guns;
The reconnaissance company has the highest submachine gun deployment rate in the entire brigade. Now, in order to facilitate supply, a small half of the submachine guns of the original solitary regiment are concentrated in the reconnaissance company, and the rest are scattered among the various regiments. If it were not for the capture of a large amount of ammunition by the Japanese Marine Corps, their current ammunition The supply has long been out of stock.
There are at least more than 800 submachine guns in the whole brigade, but the existing ammunition cannot guarantee the consumption of so many submachine guns, nor can they be captured on the battlefield, so Luo Ying concentrated and equipped more than 80 of them to the reconnaissance company, which basically can A combat team is guaranteed to have two submachine guns and one infantryman, and each gun is equipped with 300 rounds of ammunition, which can barely survive a low-intensity battle.
If you still need it, you have to go to the brigade headquarters to collect it. The remaining 700 or so brigade headquarters security companies and other personnel have a total of 200 guns. Each person is equipped with 6 magazines. In addition, each regiment has 100 guns. The excess is kept in the brigade. Even if all of them are sealed, there won't be that much supply of bullets if they are issued. This is the case in an agricultural country, and submachine guns can't be used.
The reconnaissance company has three platoons, a communications squad, and a fire squad. The fire squad is equipped with a captured Japanese 90mm mortar. This shell is easy to replenish. The 82 gun has no shells, and they have all been sealed. Now the entire brigade The mortars in use are all captured Japanese 90mm mortars.
Gao Tianshu's ambush tactic was still to have one platoon in front to harass the Japanese, and the other two platoons to ambush;
A row of cavalry was responsible for harassing the Japanese cavalry. In order to lure the Japanese cavalry to the bait, Gao Tianshu even used a mortar this time. The gun was mounted on a hill, about 500 meters away from the road.
A row of ambush positions is about a hundred meters away from the road. At this distance, submachine guns can be effective. They are responsible for ambushing and luring the enemy, luring the Japanese cavalry to the vicinity of the hill, and then they can teach the Japanese a lesson. Liu Xiaowei, the platoon leader, is waiting patiently. The Japanese cavalry are coming.
In order to deal with the harassment of the reconnaissance company, the Japanese also released the top soldiers of a cavalry detachment. They rode tall horses to search in advance for all suspicious formations on both sides of the road. As long as they found suspicious targets, they would shoot them, regardless of soldiers or civilians.
Liu Xiaowei and the others had all been trained in camouflage and lurking, and the ambush they chose was very concealed. It was simply wishful thinking for the Japanese to rely on a dozen top soldiers to spot them. Even if they walked past them, they might not be able to spot them. Both sides of the road were full of miscellaneous things. The grass is overgrown, so even if you send a cavalry squadron, you may not be able to search them. It's more of a formality.
Liu Xiaowei, who was lurking, heard the sound of horses galloping, and saw a dozen Japanese soldiers divided into two groups, running along the road, stopping from time to time to fire a few shots;
November has entered winter, and the crops have been harvested. The entire land is desolate. Except for some weeds and shrubs, the rest are high and low small soil slopes and large and small ponds. People and livestock You can't even see it, who dares to come out even if the Japanese are here.
The Japs cavalry still had a wide field of vision on their horses, so they found nothing unusual and left;
Since they did not take the road, they did not step on the few landmines buried on the road. After everything was normal, the more than two hundred Japanese cavalrymen of the Tokugawa brigade responsible for opening the road drove over in a mighty manner, and their Behind them was the Japanese army, which was delayed for about a kilometer.
The 103rd Brigade dispatched tens of thousands of Japs this time. There was a brigade of 75mm mountain artillery alone, and hundreds of various vehicles, mules and carriages, carrying a large amount of combat supplies. Therefore, such a huge field force could only go It was impossible to hide their whereabouts on the highway, and they had no intention of hiding it;
Tens of thousands of Japs were in the field, and not one or two of the main forces dared to touch their tiger butts, so they were like walking on eight legs all the way, running rampant.
Lieutenant Colonel Tokugawa had a dark face all the way. He was full of anger and needed to find someone to vent. Unfortunately, there was not even a single common person in the place they passed, and they all hid far away. It made him want to kill a few common people to vent his anger. Without a chance, he could only hope to arrive at Kunshan City as soon as possible. This time, Kunshan City was going to be bloodbathed. Only by killing all the Chinese people in Kunshan City could the hatred be relieved.
"Boom boom boom...."
Several explosions sounded, and Tokugawa's horse was frightened and almost threw him off the horse. He was so angry that he cursed:
"Ba Ge Ya Road, what kind of work?"
A platoon who was lying in ambush dozens of meters away answered the question with gunshots. This is the Chinese people's useful information to kill the Japanese.
As soon as the mines sounded, three machine guns in a row opened fire first, spraying rain of bullets on the Japanese, knocking down more than a dozen horsemen in an instant. The rifles and submachine guns continued to hide because they were too far away.
"When the enemy attacks, kill the chicken and give it to him!"
The Japs were not frightened by the attack, but instead screamed excitedly. Under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Tokugawa, the Japs of the First Cavalry Brigade quickly spread out, formed a standard cavalry attack formation, and charged towards the first row. , they were not afraid of the flying bullets, nor did they care about their fallen companions. They just wanted to rush in front of the attackers as quickly as possible, and then chop off their heads with a bloody saber.
Due to the previous explosion, the horses of the Japanese cavalry were slowed down. Only a few Japanese were killed and injured, but the impact on them was indeed huge, because the most important mobility of the cavalry was reduced.
It takes a certain distance for the cavalry to increase their speed, and the hidden row is only more than a hundred meters away from them. The cavalry quickly rushed over dozens of meters from this distance, but their current speed is completely different from when they sprinted. ;
The first platoon was fighting at this time difference. The Japanese cavalry had not yet picked up their speed, but they were only a few dozen meters away from the first platoon. Liu Wei seized the opportunity and decisively opened fire. The entire platoon fired more than 20 submachine guns. More than a dozen rifles were fired at the Japs wildly, and the submachine gun's trigger was pushed to the end, and a magazine was emptied in the blink of an eye.
The miserable Tokugawa brigade was once again ravaged by the Chinese. The cavalrymen fell off their horses like dumplings, and dozens of them were knocked down in an instant. Lieutenant Colonel Tokugawa's eyes were so angry that they were about to spit out fire. Come.
Again, these sneak attackers did not take these noble cavalry seriously. They are the kings on the battlefield. They have ruled the land battlefield for thousands of years. Dozens of infantry dare to challenge their anger. Lieutenant Colonel Tokugawa's anger can only Wash it with the blood of Chinese people;
Before he could explode, the sound of shells breaking through the air came from the air. The shells fell into the Japanese cavalry formation one after another, causing the Japanese soldiers to flip over...
"There are actually artillery pieces on Bageya Road! Kill the chicken and give it to me!"
Tokugawa shouted excitedly, and the blood in his whole body was boiling. Liu Wei immediately ordered a platoon to retreat as soon as he heard the sound of artillery. This was all agreed in advance to cover their retreat with artillery fire.
Before the Japs in the chaos could react, a platoon had already run back hundreds of meters at full speed. This distance only took twenty to thirty seconds, and they quickly ran out of the optimal shooting range of the Japs' lances;
The artillery shells in the air still fell one after another, with a total of more than ten rounds fired. Almost all the artillery shells they carried were fired at once, but the effect was also very obvious. The covering platoon quickly separated from the Japanese. There were two or three hundred distance.
This distance makes it difficult for ordinary people to hit a moving target, but it also gives the Japanese cavalry hope. It only takes a while for the cavalry to reach two or three hundred meters. Lieutenant Colonel Tokugawa's anger has been completely ignited, and the previous lessons have long been forgotten. He forgot about it and focused on leading his cavalry brigade to hunt down the fleeing Chinese.
It's so easy to run away wherever you want after taking advantage. Have you ever asked him if Tokugawa agrees?
Hundreds of cavalry screamed and chased them. Slowly, their speed increased, and they soon closed the distance to the first row. Some Japanese soldiers could no longer bear the loneliness and began to use their 44-style lances. The shooting began;
But it was still too difficult to hit a moving target at this distance, so only one unlucky soldier was hit in the thigh by a stray bullet and fell to the ground. The others also fell to the ground. This made Tokugawa almost scream in excitement. He thought If the Chinese people stop running, they have to stop and shoot at them. In a field situation, the Chinese people behave like this and are seeking death.
If the infantry were given at most a chance to fire a shot, the cavalry would have to rush in front of them and then harvest their heads with their sharp sabers.
"Kill the chicken and give it to me!"
Liu Wei and others lay on the ground and fired at the Japanese cavalry who were chasing at high speed. As expected by the Japanese, their firepower was too weak. Just when the Japanese cavalry raised their sabers and prepared to chop off people's heads, tragedy happened. .....
On the hilltop that they had not paid much attention to before, six machine guns, dozens of submachine guns and dozens of rifles suddenly opened fire at them. Thousands of bullets rushed towards them. The devils once again felt what it meant to be in a hail of bullets. , in front of the dense firepower network, the Japanese cavalry are living targets!
"Bagya Road, the Chinese are cunning and cunning, turn in quickly!"
