The night of February 7, 1938, racecourse!
At this time, the racecourse was filled with silence.
Due to the arrival of the Chaoxian Division, the entire racecourse now had nearly 40,000 people.
The Shiochen Division is a brigade, the Momotaro Division is a mixed brigade, and the Kudo Shinichi, Nikaidou Konan, Daigaido Minami, and other Kunisaki detachments are one detachment plus nearly two regiments of the Imperial Alliance Army , and coupled with the Songshan Regiment, if it is fully staffed, there will be 50,000 people.
Of course, there were not 50,000 people at this time, but less than 40,000.
But even so, the entire racecourse was overcrowded. This little devil has a house to live in, while the Chaoxian Division and the Imperial Alliance Army can only light fires outside.
Fortunately, it was February, and the weather wasn't that cold. In addition, there were enough fires, so the Japanese soldiers wouldn't freeze to death. Some even spread grass on the ground and slept next to the fires.
puff!
However, at this moment, a Japanese sentry located northeast of the racecourse was stabbed in the back.
The sharp steel knife penetrated his heart, and the Japs just wanted to scream, but a big hand covered his mouth.
The little Japanese struggled for a moment and then stopped moving. He was dragged away by a Chinese soldier wearing a uniform of the Central Army.
At the same time, a little old man, about fifty years old, appeared in the uniform of a major battalion commander.
He tilted his hat and looked into the racecourse with a telescope.
"How's Snoring?"
At this moment, another middle-aged man in his thirties, also with the rank of major battalion commander, appeared next to Lao Snoring. He was the best gunner in the supervisory corps - Sun Shiyu.
Sun Shiyu and Lao Shou were worried after receiving the order, so they brought the people here in person. And their actions were approved by Dragon Boat Festival. After all, when they come, it's not just a surprise attack, but they can also conduct reconnaissance.
Lao Shou was conducting reconnaissance at this time. He held a telescope and carefully observed every part of the racecourse.
After a while, Lao Snoring sighed: "Old Sun, there are a lot of Japs this time, probably much more than what the intelligence said. We are going to ambush them. Think about it, are we ambushing them, or are we going to kill them?" ah?"
Sun Shiyu had also been conducting investigations with binoculars before, so he also had a general understanding of the Japanese in the racecourse. He said to Lao Shou: "You are right. There are so many Japanese and puppet troops. If we want to ambush, it will probably turn into a chase. Even if we succeed in the ambush and eliminate thousands of the opponent's people, we will still be beaten by others." Tens of thousands of people were chased all over the mountain."
Lao Shou said: "Yes, everyone is still like a god. Let's take a look. Otherwise, if this battle starts, how much loss will we suffer?"
Sun Shiyu nodded and said: "Yes, then where should we bomb next?"
Lao Shou thought for a while and said: "We are bringing grenade launchers this time. Even if we find the little devil's arsenal, it will be useless. The grenade shells cannot penetrate the wall of the warehouse, so they can only scare the little devil." Devil.
What's more, the group leader said that wherever there are many people, shoot wherever there are. Look outside the racecourse. Aren’t they all people? Look, there are little devils over there. Let's blow them up and kill each one. Hahaha! "
"Yes, let's do it!"
Sun Shiyu responded, but little did they know that those little Japs were there. Even the Japs sentries they killed were also Chaoxian Japs.
But Sun Shiyu and Lao Shou didn't know, so they regarded each other as little devils.
And there were swarms of little devils staying in the wilderness.
Let's put it this way, with one shot, seven or eight little devils will definitely be killed.
What's more, there is Sun Shiyu, and this time he brings the elite of the artillery camp.
Each person has one grenade launcher, a total of sixteen grenade launchers, plus sixteen ammunition carriers, so let’s do it!
There was no test firing, because there was no need for it. There were little Japs everywhere, and any one of them could kill several of them.
So, everything! After several muffled blasts, the shells flew silently towards the Chaoxian Division in the racecourse.
Most of the Chaoxian division was sleeping.
Because there are more than 30,000 troops, as long as it is not the enemy's several divisions, who dares to stroke the tiger's beard?
But precisely, there was such a surprise attack team that penetrated through the gaps in the Japanese defense line.
In other words, the little devil has made preparations. With Momotaro here, why can't he be prepared for the enemy's sneak attack?
But Momotaro was guarding against large armies and did not pay attention to small groups at all. Because who is stupid? Use dozens of people to fight tens of thousands? Isn't this crazy?
But maybe Momotaro has forgotten that Dragon Boat Festival is crazy, and a very crazy kind. He will use a small force to poke the hornet's nest.
As a result, all of a sudden, the Chaoxian Division's headquarters suddenly exploded everywhere, and horrific explosions occurred one after another.
The two Chaoxian Japs were blown away one by one, and their screams could not be heard.
The Chao Xian Japanese officer shouted that the enemy was under attack, but he didn't even know where the enemy was.
Because the supervision team uses a grenade, the sound of this thing is extremely low when it is fired. And when it was released under the cover of the explosion, the sound was even less audible.
And this is why Duanwu chose to use grenades instead of mortars.
Mortars are not only heavy and inconvenient to carry, but also make a loud sound when fired, making it easy for the enemy to detect the firing position.
But the grenades are different. This small artillery makes almost no sound after being fired. So it’s a great tool to use at night.
During the Dragon Boat Festival, grenades were borrowed many times to surprise the enemy, and the Japanese were unable to even find the north.
The Chaoxian Division suffered more than two hundred casualties in an instant, and this number was still increasing.
Sun Shiyu used a rapid-fire method. After the first bombing, there was almost no need to re-adjust the muzzle, and he could just load the grenade.
This is also a common method of rapid fire. If the artillery does not move, the enemy position will be bombed continuously through the vibration of the artillery after firing and the amount of gunpowder in the shell without human intervention.
Therefore, veterans often say that two shells rarely fall into one crater.
Of course, this is not absolute, because no one can say clearly about probability.
But it is undeniable that the probability of two such shells falling into a crater is extremely low.
Therefore, Sun Shiyu's continuous rapid fire directly covered the area of nearly an infantry brigade of the Chaoxian Division.
All the two Japs were within Sun Shiyu's fire coverage.
At this time, the Chaoxian Division was completely panicked. No one could be found, but the shells continued to fall, and it looked like a whole brigade was about to be wiped out.
The two Japs in Chaoxian had no choice but to send people to find Prince Li Cheng and ask him to think of a solution.
But at this time, Prince Li Cheng was still admiring the pillow. He drank too much, and in his dream he was dreaming that he had wiped out the entire supervisory team and was awarded the General Medal of the Empire of Japan! .
