The protagonists tonight are naturally Li Baisha's German Arms Battalion and Liu Dazhu's Cavalry Company. Lao Wan's First Battalion and Tintin Mao'er's Second Battalion are both out to provide support.
They ambush at the designated place, just waiting for the two troops to lure the Japanese over. Just occupy the advantageous terrain and fight off the Japanese ambush.
Pangdun's reconnaissance company and Wang Mazi's communications company are the eyes of these two troops in the dark night, always watching the Japanese's every move and informing the combat troops of the latest situation. Of course, Wen San, the strongest 'intelligence collector', is also in the middle of the arrangement to avoid any mistakes.
In fact, the cooperation between them is quite tacit, and every move of the Japanese is in their hands, so each department executes the tactics accurately. Taking advantage of the darkness, the Japanese were beaten to a miserable state.
It was clear that the Japanese had a numerical advantage, but they were beaten into disgrace, their hands and feet were tied, and they did not show any signs of being an elite force.
The number of Japanese soldiers in this group lost more than one squadron sporadically along the way. Now at an absolute disadvantage, they were ambushed by Lao Wan's battalion. The Japanese fell one by one, losing a lot of troops.
What they didn't expect was that the two teams that had been playing with them before also blocked them from both ends and launched a fierce attack.
At this moment, the little devil realized that the harassment and blackmail before Daqing were all to anger them and lure them into taking the bait.
The Japanese were furious and lost their minds. It was too late to realize now. Falling into the heavy siege of Wen San's troops.
The firepower on the hilltop rushed towards them like waves, and the troops blocking both sides were also extremely strong. Especially the shoulder-mounted rocket launchers they have in their hands, their power makes the Japanese tremble with fear. Each shell was fired at the place where the Japs were most numerous, and the effective lethality was terrifying.
Even though the Japanese had hundreds of troops, under such circumstances, more than half of them were quickly consumed. The Japanese captain only had time to send out the rescue signal, but nothing happened.
In this dark night, the Xinye Brigade could not even figure out where the chasing group was. They could only make a consistent judgment based on the direction in which the gunshots came from.
With the strength of a brigade, the Japanese really didn't dare not save them. There are more than 8,000 people in their brigade and more than 1,000 people in each group, which is already one-eighth of their strength. If they were all killed, it would be like cutting off two of their fingers at once, and just ask the devil if it hurts!
"Because we don't know the specific number of enemies or how many troops are ambushed nearby, so this time the Japanese dispatched two brigade troops at once, and with all kinds of equipment, the total strength reached 2,500 people. And they also sent out the few remaining Doudin tanks to attract our firepower from the front."
As soon as these two brigades moved, Wen San got hold of the latest intelligence on the Japs. He immediately informed Zheng Xiaoyu, who was almost asleep, and asked his artillery to take action quickly.
In fact, Zheng Xiaoyu's artillery battalion had been on standby. When Wen San formulated the battle plan, they had already selected their positions and found the bombardment position.
When fighting at night, the Japanese troops would never dare to run around and would only maneuver back and forth along a few main marching routes. The surrounding terrain has already been mapped by Wen San, and the shooting range of any section of the road is in Zheng Xiaoyu's mind. The Japanese dispatched the troops of two brigades to go in the dark to rescue the Japanese brigade that was about to become a thing of the past. This was a typical fueling tactic.
It's just that this time a little more fuel was added, and it was almost close to the strength of a regiment.
This time, no small groups came to disturb them. The two groups of Japanese soldiers advanced smoothly. When they left the main camp for more than two kilometers and came to a relatively open area, swarms of artillery shells fell from above their heads. .
Zheng Xiaoyu, who was attacking in this wave, was basically going to the right place. Regardless of whether the Japs were there or not, he would always bomb this place.
Of course, Zheng Xiaoyu was by no means a blind shooter. After all, there were observation posts serving as eyes for him. There is no need to report any coordinates, as long as you know that the Japanese are on this road.
More than two thousand Japanese soldiers were bombed until they cried for their fathers and mothers! Although they wanted to fight back, they knew that these shells were long-range heavy artillery. With what they had on hand, they couldn't hit that far.
There was no other way, in order to speed up the march and support the brigade that was attacked as soon as possible. Your Majesty the Major General did not let them bring heavy equipment at all. Marching at night would have been very difficult. If they brought heavy weapons, when would their support arrive on the battlefield?
It is precisely because of this consideration that the Japanese can only be bombed and cannot hit the artillery positions that fire shells at them.
This time they also experienced the feeling of the national army in the past. Even though they had the superior strength of two brigades, they were still bombed so hard that they could not lift their heads. The casualties of soldiers were falling loudly, and it was unknown how many Japanese soldiers died in the bombardment of artillery shells.
"Go forward, go forward, rush through this area." The Japanese captain commanded his troops desperately. They also understood that they were entering an enemy artillery ambush position.
The opponent had already chosen the location for the bombardment, and was just waiting for them to come and die. As long as you run past this area, the bombardment will have no effect.
The Japs' execution was pretty good, and they finally rushed over despite the heavy artillery fire. But their losses were beyond expectations. At least five to six hundred Japs fell in this wave of attacks.
The tank in front was also blown to the ground and could no longer turn around. The Japanese inside were desperately trying to crawl out, crawling out of the stuffy gourd.
Although the number of Japs who died on the spot was only two to three hundred, the injured Japs were more troublesome. If they wanted to maintain high-speed movement, they had to keep this army of Japs behind. Otherwise they will use more troops to help these injured Japanese.
The two captains were cruel and decided to leave all the injured Japanese where they were, leaving only a small team to guard their safety. After all, supporting the Japanese army that was attacked was their top priority.
Wen San finally smiled when he heard the Japanese made such a decision. He had been holding down Liu Dazhu's cavalry company before, preventing them from easily entering the battle. Wouldn't the opportunity come now?
What can we do with these few soldiers to deal with hundreds of injured Japanese soldiers, plus a small Japanese army? Even if they were asked to carry the wounded soldiers, they wouldn't be able to carry them!
Liu Dazhu had been holding back his nerves for a long time. Seeing that the friendly troops were fighting fiercely, but his cavalry company was standing still, he felt anxious in his heart.
What about the promised treatment for the protagonist? Doesn't it mean that if you don't move all the time, you are worse than a supporting role?
