The attackers were finally repulsed. When the losses were counted, Major Uchimura was going crazy.
The attack in just a few minutes came and went quickly. The other party did not take away a single cloud, only leaving damage on the ground.
One tank, two transport vehicles, two infantry guns, more than 10% of the ammunition and supplies, and more than 50 casualties were destroyed.
It was really a bad start. Only then did Uchimura remember Takeshita's reminder. He didn't take it seriously before, but now he finally knows it hurts.
"Kawashima-kun, send a search team to each side of the road. Search carefully. The 100-meter area on both sides is the top priority. Anyone who is suspicious will be shot!"
"Hey!"
Kawashima took the order and left. The Japanese who had suffered a heavy loss began to become cautious, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
The two search teams carefully searched every suspicious place to prevent a sneak attack by the Eighth Route Army.
The marching speed obviously slowed down, like a turtle crawling.
When Zhou Weiguo saw that it was difficult to find an opportunity to sneak attack on the Japanese army, he set his target on the Japanese search team. He planned to use it as a trick against the Japanese.
Second Lieutenant Soichiro Sato is leading two detachments of warriors to search along the periphery of the highway. The other two detachments are more than 200 meters away from them, which can not only support each other, but also expand the search range and improve search efficiency.
What he didn't know was that they were already being targeted, and it was Meng Jiaqi, the sniper of the Falcon Team, who was targeting him.
"Search carefully, the Eighth Route Army is cunning and cunning!"
Sato kept yelling at his men all the way, and he couldn't bear the responsibility if something happened.
Suddenly, he smelled a dangerous smell, just like the feeling of prey being targeted by a hunter. He reflexively wanted to lie down, but his speed was still not faster than Meng Jiaqi's bullet.
A 7.92mm sniper bullet rotated at high speed and penetrated into his big head. Before he could cry out in pain, his brain collapsed.
"Enemy attack!"
Bah!
Another Japs fell down after being shot, and the Japs sergeant finally discovered Meng Jiaqi's location.
"2 o'clock direction, chase me!"
The Japanese soldier fired three shots in the direction where Meng Jiaqi escaped, but unfortunately he hit nothing. It was a waste of bullets to shoot a target a hundred meters away with the southern pistol.
The Japanese sergeant led the two detachments around him and chased her. Meng Jiaqi turned around and fired while running. Almost every shot was successful, which made the Japanese crazy and not going to let her go.
Meng Jiaqi fought and retreated, allowing the Japanese to see but not catch her.
"Baga! Hurry up!"
The Japanese chased and fired, and soon chased him several hundred meters away.
Meng Jiaqi was counting the numbers in her mind while running away. She had already led the Japanese to the ambush area and was waiting for the captain and the others to take action!
"3-2-1"
To Meng Jiaqi's dismay, the gunfire did not sound as she expected. It was so uncooperative!
"It seems that not everyone can succeed in pretending."
Meng Jiaqi laughed at herself in her heart and continued to run away.
"Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta!"
The gunfire finally rang out, more than ten seconds late, but the effect was the same.
The Japs in pursuit were ambushed by Zhou Weiguo and others. Two teams of more than 20 people all fell in a pool of blood in less than two minutes. They formed a group to report to Amaterasu.
This is a very classic ambush tactic, very similar to guerrilla warfare, so it is no exaggeration to say that special operations is an upgraded version of guerrilla warfare.
"What are you still doing? Keep working!"
Meng Jiaqi was immediately unhappy when she heard this. This was a long-term worker!
"yes!"
After Meng Jiaqi protested in her heart, she continued to act as a bait honestly, who would let Zhou Weiguo's superior official crush people to death.
Zhou Weiguo's falcon agent team constantly harassed the Japanese search team, doing everything they could to prevent them from being left in peace.
This made the Japanese march as fast as a tortoise, but they couldn't come up with a good way to deal with it.
If there are too many people sent at one time, they will lead them around in circles. If there are too few people sent, they will seize the opportunity to sap them.
If they don't send out a search team, they will ambush the Japanese army.
Not willing to fight, he threw a few grenades and ran away, leaving the Japanese at a loss as to what to do, unable to catch them, and unable to drive them away.
"Bagayalu, what a bunch of nasty flies!"
Major Uchimura has finally suffered from the special operations, just like a candy.
The journey that could have been completed in one day took two days and more than 100 casualties before we finally got rid of these nasty flies!
After two days of stumbling march, the Neicun brigade finally arrived in embarrassment all the way to the outskirts of Chenjialing. Zhou Weiguo's Falcon Team completed the harassment mission beyond expectations.
"Captain, it's so exciting. These little devils have been invaded by us."
This time, Wang Han was satisfied with his addiction to fighting Japanese invaders. Rather than fighting with his own people, he felt more comfortable fighting Japanese soldiers.
"Tell the brothers to rest for a while and let the Eighth Route Army fight with them first. We will come back to cause trouble for them in the evening."
When Wang Han heard this, he immediately became happy and said loudly:
"It's necessary. If the devil can sleep well at night, then I lose!"
Meng Jiaqi couldn't stand instructor Wang's proud look, so she turned around and went to find a place to sleep.
She had to gather enough energy to deal with the Japanese at night and avenge the people who died in Jinling City!
Neicun, who had been beaten for two days, received another sap from the Eighth Route Army when they arrived outside Chenjialing. The defiant motorcycle detachment was directly wiped out by a few grenades from the Eighth Route Army.
This can also be regarded as a disincentive for the Japanese. Li Qing and others dug up Chenjialing beyond recognition. Naturally, they could not escape the eyes of the Japanese search team. The battle of Chenjialing could only be a head-to-head positional battle without any coincidences.
Fighting in a positional battle was what the Japanese were looking forward to. Uchimura finally had a place to vent his anger that he had been holding back for two days!
"Kawashima-kun, defeat the Eighth Route Army's blockade, and after entering Liu Town, you will be lifted from military discipline for three days!"
With a fierce look on his face, Uchimura gave the order to attack the First Squadron and engage in positional warfare. He really didn't take the Eighth Route Army seriously.
Being able to send out a squadron from a mere company of the Eighth Route Army was already a great honor to Li Qing and others.
Uchimura can be arrogant, but Kawashima, as the actual implementer, still needs to pay attention to tactics. This is fighting, not playing house.
The Japanese have their own fixed tactics for fighting. They do not use artillery bombardment as soon as they come up. Their common tactic is to launch a round of exploratory attacks to find out the opponent's troop strength and firepower configuration, then use heavy firepower to eliminate them at fixed points, and then attack again after that. Infantry charge.
"One trick can be used all over the world", which means bullying the Chinese army because its firepower cannot match theirs.
Before launching the attack, the Japanese brigade retreated a few hundred meters, found a flat land suitable for camping, and began to build defenses. This is a good tradition for the Japanese.
Even if they take the initiative on the battlefield, they still have to defend first.
The Japanese brigade was building simple fortifications, and the Kawashima Squadron's first tentative attack began.
This time they sent a small team of troops, which was considered a sign of respect for the Eighth Route Army.
In normal times, a tentative attack on a company's defensive position is usually carried out by a 13-man detachment.
Don't underestimate the Japs, they are very cunning. It is impossible to achieve the feat of charging with dozens or hundreds of people packed into a dense crowd like in the drama.
That's not heroic, that's stupid!
