There is a saying: "Recruits are afraid of cannons, veterans are afraid of machine guns."
For those who have just entered the battlefield, the earth-shattering sound when the shell explodes is truly shocking.
Although the power, range and other aspects of the grenade of the Little Devil are far inferior to the team-level support firepower of the European and American armies at the same time.
But it is still a 50mm caliber tube, and the grenade fired is nearly three times the charge of a hand grenade.
The power of the explosion, especially the power of the intensive explosion, is enough to destroy the psychological defenses of many recruits.
Fortunately, Lu Feng is a well-informed idiot. He was only stunned for a moment by the explosion at first, but he didn't react much after that.
Yu Manli, on the other hand, still seemed a little unresponsive, which made Lu Feng a little worried.
It's not like this girl has been strengthened. The shock wave of the explosion just now must not cause internal injuries to her.
So, after leaving the conspicuous position on the mountain, Lu Feng found a place and set up a simple tent using the cloak that was beaten into a hemp sieve.
Let Yu Manli rest for a while, and Lu Feng himself can relax a little and relax his nerves that were tense due to the continuous battles just now.
After washing his face with cold water, eating something, and replenishing his strength and water, Lu Feng began to organize his equipment.
In such a hurry just now, I didn't even have time to take care of the box of bullets for the Type 92 heavy machine gun, so that now there are only 37 rounds of 7.7 bullets left on the gun, and the two bullet plates Yu Manli is holding.
97 rounds in total.
There are still a lot of 6.5 Arisaka bullets. Lu Feng and Yu Manli each have a hundred rounds.
The shell gun had never been fired, and it had plenty of bullets. When I came out, I still had half a bag of grenades and explosives.
"call out"
Just as Lu Feng was sorting out his equipment, a signal flare with a red light and a long tail of smoke suddenly rose in the sky not far away.
Lu Feng looked and saw that the direction in which the signal flare was rising seemed to be the place where he had blocked the Japs just now.
After thinking about it, Lu Feng asked Yu Manli to rest here first, while he touched the area near the mountain path just now.
After finding a big tree, Lu Feng climbed to the top in twos and twos, looking at the mountain path through the gaps between the branches and the hanging snow.
I saw that the little devils who had just been stabbed in the butt were building fortifications on a hillside.
Several simple machine gun shooting positions and a small grenade shooting position have been sorted out.
It was obvious that these Japanese soldiers wanted to stay here and were not prepared to move forward.
Captain Watanabe really didn’t want to move forward anymore.
The strange sight he saw on the machine gun position just now made Captain Watanabe lose confidence in the next trip.
The enemy is a special being with extremely strong maneuverability and firepower. If you continue to march on the mountain road, it will be like sending yourself to the opponent's gun.
Before you can find out the details of the enemy, the right way is to stand firm and wait for reinforcements.
Otherwise, if the situation of losing nearly 30% of the personnel without even catching the enemy's hair happens again or twice, their hundred or so people will be wiped out.
As for the cavalry teams in front?
Captain Watanabe can only hope that they are protected by Amaterasu.
Of course, the intensive machine gun fire that he heard earlier made Captain Watanabe basically believe in his heart that the cavalry team in front should have returned to the command of Amaterasu.
He couldn't let people like him make the same mistakes again.
Captain Watanabe checked the corpses and found that the two heavy machine gun shooters had extremely high accuracy.
As a veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time, he knows very well how terrifying these two highly maneuverable and high-precision machine guns are on the battlefield.
As long as they have this will, the other party can completely block these people in this mountain forest.
Therefore, Captain Watanabe did not even send out communications troops, but chose a more reliable way to call for help: sending off flares.
Watching the signal flares slowly falling in the sky, Captain Watanabe's tense nerves relaxed a little.
I have sent a correspondent to report the situation before, and with the current signal flare, it must be able to attract the attention of my superiors.
Then, all we have to do is wait for the arrival of follow-up reinforcements.
"Hoo~"
The sudden strong wind rolled up the flare in mid-air without warning, drawing a spiral smoke ring in the air.
"The wind is picking up."
The road front on the top of the tree looked towards the mountains in the northwest, where a white line like a tide slowly but firmly covered the blue sky.
The sudden change in weather, the weapons and equipment on hand, and the Japs building positions in the distance.
The changing battlefield conditions forced Lu Feng to re-plan his next action plan.
The wind doesn't just blow in the mountains.
Near Sandaoguan Pass, Colonel Ye Lin and others who were riding on horseback were also hit by the sudden cold wind.
Blocked by the mountains and forests, Colonel Yebayashi could not see the signal flare fired by Squadron Leader Watanabe in the distance.
But the semaphore soldiers at the front can see it.
They quickly relayed the information to Colonel Ye Lin.
After Colonel Nobayashi received the message from the communications soldier, he looked at Lieutenant Colonel Iwata beside him.
"Tell me the situation you encountered in detail!"
Lieutenant Colonel Iwata ordered in a serious tone to the cavalryman who came back for help.
Seeing that the situation was not right, the cavalryman didn't care about his face and told them truthfully that they had fallen into a trap and then been tricked by the captain.
"You said you heard the sound of the Type 92 heavy machine gun when you came here?"
Colonel Yebayashi asked again the correspondent sent by Captain Watanabe.
"Hey, the gunshots are still very dense, it sounds like there are more than one."
The correspondent replied firmly.
Colonel Yebayashi nodded and looked at Lieutenant Colonel Iwata:
"You can be sure. The one in front of us is the main force of the Anti-Alliance. It should be their so-called Tenth Army."
"You can think so."
Lieutenant Colonel Iwata also agreed with Colonel Nobayashi's judgment.
Being able to possess multiple Type 92 heavy machine guns, he could also defeat one of their cavalry squads and two of their infantry squads until they called for reinforcements.
Definitely the main force of the Resistance Alliance!
When they thought of this, Colonel Nobayashi and Lieutenant Colonel Iwata's eyes gleamed.
For the Kwantung Army, the Resistance Alliance was a thorn in their side.
But in the same way, the Anti-Alliance is also the qualification for the current Kwantung Army.
Originally, in this operation, they just wanted to catch "White Night"'s team, but they didn't expect to get an unexpected harvest.
If this can wipe out a main force of the Anti-Union Forces, the previous mistakes of the Mudanjiang Gendarmerie Brigade can be completely wiped out.
Lieutenant Colonel Iwata can take this a step further.
"Order the troops to move closer to Captain Watanabe. The artillery team at the pass can also take action."
Lieutenant Colonel Iwata directly issued the order to use artillery.
He had already learned from Colonel Ye Lin that during this period, the Anti-Japanese Alliance had successively captured Shanlan Station and Jiapigou Gold Mine, and seized a batch of weapons and equipment from them.
There are light and heavy machine guns, grenades, mortars and more.
As the saying goes, be lenient when you anticipate the enemy. Now that you have confirmed that the enemy's main force is here, you must concentrate all your efforts.
Victory is determined in one stroke.
Soon, the flag soldiers issued orders to the temporary camp at the mountain pass behind them.
Two Type 92 infantry cannons pulled by pack horses, escorted by an artillery team of dozens of people, slowly marched towards the mountains.
After seeing the artillery team in action, Takashima Masao and others, who had been in the camp with no one paying attention, also asked for a carriage from the transport team and followed them carrying the box of poison gas bombs.
