Wen San looked at the sketch on the ground and thought about it alone, "A brigade has more than a thousand troops. If evenly distributed, the number of troops stationed at the intersection should be two squadrons. I heard what Old Japanese Tengyuan said before. It was arranged. A squadron of soldiers is stationed. Then there are only half a brigade of Japanese soldiers at the three intersections, and the other half of the brigade must be around Teng Yuan. They are probably about a kilometer directly in front of him. "
"Send sentries over immediately. I want to determine the coordinates of the main force of the Japs." Wen San pondered for a while and ordered to explore the details of the Japs.
"Company commander, shouldn't we take a detour to avoid it? What are we going to do by letting the sentry take the risk to investigate?" Li Baisha asked with some confusion.
This company's combat effectiveness is indeed very strong, but it is not so large that it can fight a large group of Japanese soldiers head-on. Even if the night can weaken the enemy's firepower, their own firepower will also be weakened, and they will basically have no advantage.
"Now that we have met, of course we have to do it! Today I will let you see what mobile warfare is. Just like a cow, leading the enemy by the nose." The plan in Wen San's mind has already come out. So what if it's a brigade? I won't fight you head-on.
Wouldn't it be useful to use the mobile warfare created by the great man? Concentrating superior forces to attack one unit is the essence of mobile warfare.
"Company Commander, do you have a military textbook in your head? How do you know so many things?" Li Baisha was really convinced. Wen San used different tactics in these battles with the Japanese. Each time, they achieved amazing results, and Wen San launched a novel three-three-system tactic. It can be said that all the soldiers in the company had a blind admiration for Wen San.
"Hey, don't worry, there's enough for you to learn. Once you all master these things, you can basically fight independently." Wen San smiled. He really wanted to instill these things into the minds of the commanders of each squad and platoon. .
He still has many ideas on how to build a team, but without a stable base, many plans cannot be implemented. This is indeed a very headache.
More than ten minutes later, the sentry who went out to investigate had returned.
"Report to the company commander, most of the Japs are stationed on both sides of the road. There are Japs patrolling back and forth on the main routes, and there are indeed a lot of them."
"Can you estimate the accurate distance between us and the main force of the Japanese?" Wen asked carefully. In fact, he knew most of the Japanese's troop deployment, and he just sent people to confirm it.
"It's almost what Zhao Wenzheng said. It looks like two miles away. There are fires in the Japanese camp. As long as we go to the open area, we can see it." The sentry pointed to the left side of the road. Just walk to the left for twenty or thirty meters. I can see the bright light in the distance.
"Very good! Except for the artillery platoon, all platoons are ready for battle. Walk forward three hundred meters and ambush on both sides of the road. After repelling a wave of Japanese pursuit, immediately evacuate alternately in platoon units!"
After Wen San gave the order, all platoons began to move quickly.
"Ma Yinchu, come with me. Can you use the Type 92 infantry artillery to hit the Japanese camp here?" Wen San called the people from the artillery platoon over.
The Type 92 infantry gun has a range of nearly three kilometers, and the Japanese are one kilometer away. This is definitely within the best range. It was just operating at night, and it was Ma Yinchu's first time firing, so it might not have an immediate effect.
"Don't worry, company commander, there are Japanese fire pits as coordinate guidance. If I can't hit them, I won't have to mess around anymore." Ma Yinchu was very confident, even though he had never actually used the Type 92 infantry gun once. But his basic skills are quite solid, and through an afternoon of operation, he truly understood the various attributes of this artillery.
"Very good. Now I'll give you three to five rounds of shelling time. After the firing, evacuate immediately and get back to the road." Wen San did not expect Ma Yinchu's shelling to cause much casualties to the Japanese.
After several consecutive shellings, the Japanese artillery must have reacted and would inevitably launch a counterattack. If you don't run, you'll be bombed.
His purpose was to lure the Japanese over and set up an ambush for the other platoons.
"Make sure to complete the mission."
The two men immediately called on the soldiers to move over the various parts of the Type 92 infantry gun. After one quick operation, it was back in place.
Three minutes later, Ma Yinchu had adjusted the shooting angle in place, and only waited for Wen San's order to start shelling the Japanese camp.
At this time, the ambush of the previous rows was also completed.
"Fire!" Wen San ordered!
With a whoosh, a shell with a scarlet tail flame rushed towards the Japanese camp.
In the station, many Japanese soldiers were sitting on the ground. They had been running for a day and were actually very tired. Now we can only stay in the wasteland, which is really helpless. The command headquarters has given them a death order, and this unit must be found and eliminated on the spot.
If due to their negligence, this troop escaped from the encirclement designated by the headquarters, I am afraid that everyone would be stigmatized.
"Look, there is a strange star in the sky." Some Japanese pointed at the bright light in the sky and talked nonsense.
"Baga, that's a cannonball!" Some Japanese soldiers reacted and quickly ran away.
Unfortunately, the speed of the cannonball was not slow either. By the time they saw it, it had almost reached their heads!
Boom!
A high-explosive bomb landed in the middle of the camp, and several Japanese who failed to react were immediately torn apart by shrapnel and died without even screaming.
"Damn it, we're under bombardment! Hide and hide!" a Japanese sergeant shouted.
"You don't even know where the artillery shells come from and where they are hidden? Hurry up and let the artillery calculate the trajectory and fight back immediately!" A captain commander responded in time.
As soon as he finished speaking, a second shell flew over, scaring the Japanese in the camp into a panic. The first reaction of most of the Japanese was to lie down on the ground and survive first.
This time, Ma Yinchu extended the distance a little, and the shells landed on a box of grenades, which immediately caused a series of explosions. Although the number of Japs killed was not as many as the first shot, the number of wounded Japs increased a lot.
"BaGeYa Road! The damn China Battalion actually dared to sneak attack on us. All units took action immediately. This unit must be wiped out tonight!" Major Teng Yuan emerged from the tent, waving his command knife and roaring.
For a large group of Japanese soldiers, these casualties were not worth mentioning. What he was most worried about was that this force would not be able to hide. Unexpectedly, they actually launched an attack.
This matter cannot be tolerated! I can't bear to die!
The Japanese troops formed quickly, and despite the shells falling overhead, they moved very quickly. There was only one artillery piece on Wen San's side, and its coverage was limited. With the Japanese's rich combat experience, they quickly avoided the range of the shelling.
The Japanese artillery also quickly calculated the ballistic trajectory. When the fourth shell fell, they had already launched a counterattack. It's just that this time the bullet point of the counterattack was slightly off, still twenty or thirty meters away from Ma Yinchu's position.
It seems that the night fighting ability of the Japanese artillery is not as strong as imagined.
In view of this situation, Wen San did not let Ma Yinchu use the fifth shell. All members of the artillery platoon took action and dragged the infantry gun away from the bombardment position.
