"Boom boom boom!"
Yoshino's convoy was once again attacked by bombs, and two more baggage trucks were blown up, resulting in the loss of two trucks of food;
This time Chen Yan took a heavy hand and used all the remaining bombs. The huge explosion set the transport truck on fire, and two whole trucks of food were burned. The personnel losses were not big, just two drivers and four The escort in the passenger seat.
Seven trucks of supplies have been blown up, and four trucks have been destroyed. The key is that the attacks are endless, like candy that cannot be shaken off, giving Yoshino a headache;
If a search team is sent, they will attack the search team, and a whole team of warriors will be broken. If no search team is sent, they will attack the convoy; if troops are sent to pursue, they will run away, and maybe they will be ambushed, which will make the Japanese of Yoshino Brigade quick. Nervous!
The security machine gun on the roof of the car would fire whenever there was any sign of trouble. Sometimes the movement of a rabbit in the bushes would cause the Japanese to consume a bucket of bullets. It was really pitiful for the flowers, plants and small animals along the way.
Yoshino decided to send out a search team anyway. The convoy could no longer withstand bomb attacks. There were only 3 trucks of supplies left and they couldn't afford to lose them;
In order to prevent the search team from being attacked, they were strictly ordered not to leave 30 meters away from both sides of the road, and they searched carefully along the road to prevent another bomb attack. However, at such a traveling speed, they did not know how many days it would take to reach Liu Town.
Chen Yanjin adjusted the protection and strengthened the vigilance. He also changed the strategy of the attack and changed the attack to harassment. To put it bluntly, it was a cold gun operation!
Use snipers to hit the Japanese search party from a distance, provoke them to pursue them, and then ambush them.
It's a pity that the Japanese have already suffered a big loss and won't come up at all. If you attack his search team, he will probably lose two or three people. He will only use machine gun fire on the roof to drive them away. He will never pursue them. Chen Yan is not very good either. The solution, after all, they only have about twenty people, they can only harass along the way and slow down the speed of the convoy.
The attack by the special forces caused the baggage team to travel less than ten kilometers in one day. Don't even think about it within three or five days of arriving at Liuzhen. Their goal was achieved!
In Chenjialing, Yan Haoyu's Sixth Company and Artillery Battery have been staying around to look for opportunities. He believes that there will always be Japanese soldiers coming in and out;
They blew up more than half of the Japanese baggage. The Japanese would definitely have to bring the baggage in from outside. They were two companies!
Although the artillery company no longer has explosive packs, they can still attack the Japanese with their guns. More than 400 people are a considerable force, and there is no problem in dealing with the Japanese baggage train.
Yan Haoyu remembered that the battalion commander told him that modern warfare is about logistics. When the Japanese go to the base area to sweep up, how much food and ammunition will thousands of troops consume in a day?
Without food and ammunition, the more troops there are, the greater the burden. The task Chu Xiong gave them before was to cut off the Japanese food routes, and he had to decide what to do.
"Old Yan, we have been lying in wait here for several days, and we haven't seen a single ghost. Do you think the ghosts will come?"
Liu Zhe, the commander of the artillery company, lost his temper and asked about Yan Haoyu.
"Liu Company Commander, you have to be patient when fighting an ambush. This is the only way in and out of Liu Town. We blew up most of the Japs' baggage. If they don't rely on outside transportation, what will they eat?"
Even if you can grab food, where is the ammunition? "
"Don't worry, wait patiently, you will always be rewarded!"
Yan Haoyu once again comforted Liu Zhe and encouraged himself. After waiting for four or five days in the cold weather, Liu Zhe, not to mention the inexperienced Liu Zhe, was also a little anxious. The opinions of the soldiers Quite a few.
After a while, there was movement from the direction of Liuzhen, which made Yan Haoyu immediately excited and reminded everyone to lay in wait, a big fish was coming...
The squad leader in charge of peripheral security rushed over and reported to Yan Haoyu:
"Company Commander, a large number of cavalry are coming, and they are going very fast!"
Yan Haoyu remembered that the large Japanese army entering the town had a cavalry. Now they were leaving the town in a hurry. There was definitely something urgent, either for rescue or to pick up the baggage train!
"Old Yan, do you want to be beaten?"
Liu Zhe asked excitedly.
Yan Haoyu thought for a while and said:
"Liu Company Commander, I think it's better to let them pass. The cavalry is fast and the formation is scattered. During the ambush, they won't be able to kill many people. Instead, they will expose themselves."
"Old Yan, no matter how few mosquito legs there are, they are still meat. Just kill the few you count! This is the cavalry, they are precious!"
"Company Commander Liu, I suspect that this group of cavalry has other intentions. Maybe they are going to pick up their baggage troops. If our whereabouts are exposed at this time, we will suffer a big loss."
Liu Zhe is also a top student who graduated from Kangda University. Compared with Yan Haoyu, he lacks practical experience and his vision is not bad. After Yan Haoyu reminded him, he figured it out in an instant.
Compared with the Japanese baggage, destroying a few cavalry is indeed not enough.
"Old Yan, since that's the case, I agree with your idea, so I won't fight for now and continue to wait for a good opportunity!"
After the two company commanders reached a consensus, they decided to continue lurking.
A few minutes later, the Japanese cavalry galloped over, very arrogantly. They didn't even slow down and just flew past. They didn't take Yan Haoyu and others seriously at all. They were not ordinary arrogance.
"Damn it, you've made me feel like a mouthful of dust. I'll deal with you later!"
After Yan Haoyu finished scolding, he spat hard. Like Chu Xiong, he was very narrow-minded and always had to retaliate against the Japanese!
Lieutenant Colonel Kuroda, captain of the Japanese cavalry brigade, really didn’t take the Eighth Route Army’s ambush seriously. Among the various major military branches of the Japanese army, the cavalry is an aristocratic branch. Most of the officers are noble aristocrats, not the miners, fishermen and soldiers of the army. A farmer's son can compare.
Kuroda is a man with a title. Although his ancestors have been ruined for hundreds of years, he is a genuine baron!
The lowest-ranking nobles were still nobles, and no matter how ruined they were, their morale was not lost. In his eyes, Major General Ushijima was just a descendant of a samurai who had been assigned to the Kuroda family to expand their territory hundreds of years ago.
The beggars are even more incapable of his discernment. As long as they dare to ambush the noble Kuroda brigade, Kuroda will definitely let these bumpkins know what a noble cavalry is!
"Bagaya Road, these lowly fishermen are getting worse and worse, and they still need noble cavalry to protect them!"
Kuroda felt angry. The baggage train had a lower status than the army. They were all fishermen.
Kuroda kept scolding him. He did not dare to neglect the tasks entrusted to him by Major General Ushijima. Although he was a baron, this title was an empty title and was nothing to the Major General!
An hour later, the Kuroda brigade finally connected with Yoshino's convoy and quickly took over the protection;
A cavalry brigade was not something that Chen Yan and his special operations team could afford to offend, so as soon as the Japanese cavalry arrived, Chen Yan gave up the harassment.
Four of the seven baggage trucks were blown up. The "Siberian Tiger" team had overfulfilled their mission. They decided to return to the vicinity of Anping City and prepare to harass the new transport team, but there were no bombs, which was a little regretful.
The words were divided into two parts. With the arrival of the cavalry brigade, the nightmare of Yoshino Squadron was finally over. They also accelerated their marching speed. Under normal circumstances, they would be able to reach Liuzhen before dark.
