squeak!
When a red signal flare rises into the sky, a fish intestine ambush will begin.
It was Duanwu who fired the signal bomb. He visually observed that the Takahashi regiment had all entered the ambush circle, and that the Japs' leading troops were less than 200 meters away from them and were spreading out their troops.
The Dragon Boat Festival cannot allow the vanguard of the Japs to spread out. Because once the Japs' vanguard troops are deployed, the machine guns on the Vickers 5 armored vehicles and Japs troop carriers will be fatal to the cavalry.
It can be said that this battle is somewhat based on luck. If the Japanese choose to spread out their troops when they are 500 to 300 meters away from the Dragon Boat Festival, then the Dragon Boat Festival will definitely hesitate to launch signal flares at this time.
Because at that time, the Japanese army had not completely entered the fish intestines. Launching a signal flare at Dragon Boat Festival would alert the enemy and ruin the entire ambush plan.
Of course, it can’t be said to be a failure, but there are too many variables in the fight.
However, although the Dragon Boat Festival involves a lot of gambling, in fact, from a practical point of view, it is not realistic for the Japanese to spread out their troops at a distance of 500 to 300 meters.
Because if the little devil is not a fool, he will also be afraid of exposing his intentions prematurely.
Although it seems that everyone knows it, the little devil is willing to take a gamble. What if the other party is close and distant?
This is the standard gambler's thinking, just like buying stocks. Although there is a 99.9% chance of losing money when buying stocks, some people still like to gamble on the 0.01% chance.
Of course, this is a bit exaggerated. But whether it's gambling or stock trading, the money-making effect is very low.
But there are people who do not believe in evil, but end up losing all their life savings.
People with a weak mentality jump off buildings or rivers, while people with a good mentality make money and pay off debts peacefully.
In other words, everyone has a gambler in their heart, but they just gamble in different ways.
The same goes for the little devils. They are actually gambling, but not as big as the Dragon Boat Festival.
Dragon Boat Festival was gambling with his life on the Japanese's two infantry brigades, plus an artillery squadron, and a baggage corps.
The little devil has learned his lesson and is afraid that he will run out of weapons and ammunition in a big battle. So Takahashi Kazukuma actually brought all his baggage troops.

The baggage troops were at the end of the entire team, and each cart was carrying weapons and ammunition, including some fast food.
The Dragon Boat Festival was waiting for the Japs' baggage troops to enter the encirclement, and then fired the signal bomb.
A red signal flare rose into the sky, followed by Master Chen's roar.
More than twenty artillery shells of various types roared out with Commander Chen's roar.
At this time, when the signal flare flew into the air, the little devil already felt that he might have been ambushed.
But they were a little puzzled because fish intestines were not suitable for ambushes. And that Duanwu is said to be a smart man, why would he issue such a stupid order?
So when the signal flare was launched into the sky, Takahashi Kazukuma and his forward commander even thought that Dan O was just bluffing. ….
But when they put their heads out of the window and heard the sound of shells piercing the air, they realized something was wrong.
Takahashi Kazuma quickly ordered the convoy to stop, but the Japanese forward commander gave the order, and the convoy quickly spread out and attacked the cavalry battalion.
The convoy of the Japanese vanguard quickly changed its formation.
But at this time, it was too late. Just as the Little Devil's truck and Vickers 5 armored vehicle were about to drive from the road into the field, a shell hit one of the Vickers 5 armored vehicles from the side.
There was a huge explosion, tearing a big hole directly from the Japs side armor. Immediately afterwards, the entire Vickers 5 armored vehicle was torn apart and overturned to the ground.
This is a 75mm caliber mountain cannon
If a bullet hits, 90% of it is a coincidence.
The location where the gun was fired was more than 800 meters away from the Japs' highway. The Japs' vehicles were changing formations. If the gun was aimed at the Japs' Vickers 5 armored vehicles, then even if the gun could hit 100%, it would still hit the Japs. The chariot moved and hit the open space.
Therefore, the Sichuan Army's artillery attack this time is mainly about fire coverage. How many Japanese can be annihilated depends on luck.
Then, two of the Japs' troop carriers were hit, the Japs' vehicle caught fire, and the Japs on board flew out.
There were also two trucks that were damaged to varying degrees. A little Japanese was thrown out of the truck when the truck made a sharp turn, and was directly crushed to death by the Japanese truck that was unable to dodge.
"Attack! Attack!"
At this moment, the Japs forward commander kept shouting on the radio communication equipment, ordering all troops to continue the attack.
But in this case, stopping will make you die faster.
At this time, Dragon Boat Festival also ordered all cavalry to attack. Because the 125th Division's artillery fire was insufficient.
It can be said that Duanwu was helpless at this time. If his independent regiment were to be there, at least two-thirds of the vanguard troops that bombarded the little devil would be killed in this round, and he could just take the rest and go up to finish the job. .
But at this time, except for one Vickers 5 armored vehicle that was overturned and two personnel carriers that were blown up, the damage to the enemy was not serious. It didn't meet his expectations at all.
However, why did Dragon Boat Festival quickly order an attack?
Because he couldn't let the Japs' convoy spread out, nor could he wait for the second round of bombardment by the 125th Division.
If the Japanese convoy spreads out and sweeps forward, the cavalry battalion will suffer even greater casualties. If the 125th Division's second round of shelling were launched, it would be a hundred percent waste of shells.
Therefore, Dragon Boat Festival once again fired a signal flare southward, pointing out the direction of attack for the 125th Division.
At this time, Commander Chen saw this and said quickly: "Align the muzzle of the gun to attack the main force of the Japs, and then charge forward with all the troops. I, the special commissioner, all rushed forward. If anyone dares to embarrass our Sichuan Army, I will engage in military law."
"yes!"
The entire Sichuan army roared together, and then launched a group charge towards the main force of the Japanese the moment the artillery shells flew over their heads.
At this moment, people were like a surge, filling the mountains and plains, and they were all the charging figures of the Sichuan army.
There are two brigades of the Sichuan Army, plus an artillery battalion, with a total of more than 10,000 people. At this moment, even the cooking squad came up with kitchen knives.
This time, they once again explained what it means to be a desperate Saburo. ….
Their equipment is indeed not the best, but when it comes to desperate efforts, few troops can match the Sichuan army.
When the Japanese saw this battle, nine out of ten were frightened. This is simply a group of lunatics, running and charging on the plains. Aren't they afraid of machine guns shooting at them?
Indeed, in the plains, every machine gun is a sickle that harvests life.
If the commander hadn't lost his mind, he would never have issued such a stupid order.
However, Duanwu made two preparations for this. The first was the Sichuan Army's artillery camp. Although the artillery battalion may not be able to annihilate many Japanese in the process of firing. But he can act as a cover for the infantry.
The second one is the human sea tactic. The Japs have many machine guns, but under the cover of artillery fire, the effectiveness of the Japs' machine guns will be greatly reduced. The Japanese artillery had no chance to fire during such a short charge.
Just imagine, there are only 700 to 800 meters of road between the left and right.
Based on the running speed of an adult, at most one and a half minutes and less than two minutes, the Sichuan army would be able to break through the Japanese defense line and start a hand-to-hand battle with the Japanese.
And can even a well-trained enemy set up an artillery position and fire in less than two minutes?
And even if they were really sure of this, by the time they set up their cannons, their enemies would probably be less than two or three hundred meters away from them.
At such a time, I'm afraid to shoot with a gun
It's faster than cannon fire.
What's more, when the Sichuan army attacked the Japs' forward troops, they only fired a dozen or so shells, and the remaining shells fell on the heads of the Japs' large troops.
Terrifying explosions occurred one after another, and the Japanese who could not dodge were blown away one after another.
Seeing this, the old Japanese soldier Takahashi Kazuma quickly ordered his troops to attack along the highway from east to west.
Because fighting in plain areas is indeed disadvantageous for the charging Sichuan troops, but it is also disadvantageous for the Japanese defense! .......
