Hearing the fierce sound of gunfire, Li Yunlong's heart felt like a cat scratching his head.
I wish I could join the battlefield immediately, but the situation is unclear and the battle is huge.
In the first round of attack alone, more than a dozen mortars were deployed for bombardment, followed by continuous attacks by more than a dozen light and heavy machine guns.
On Route 8, with this level of firepower, Li Yunlong knew that he had to at least gather the main force of the brigade. But he was definitely not the brigade, because the brigade would never bypass his nearest independent regiment!
Not long after, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang heard the counterattacks of the infantry cannons and small steel cannons that the little devils were familiar with, and the fierce battle between the 92 heavy machine guns and the crooked handles began.
"Old Li, listen to the sound. With such a battle ahead, the scale of the two warring parties will definitely not be small.
It seems that the original intelligence was wrong. This little devil is definitely not just a squad. It has infantry artillery, mortars, and heavy machine guns. This is at least a reinforced squadron. This is far beyond our capabilities. "
Although Zhao Gang hadn't seen the scene yet, he had already judged that the situation was a bit out of control just from the intensity of the artillery fire.
Now the enemy and us are unknown, and the independent regiment is obviously unable to cooperate with this family.
According to Zhao Gang, it's almost time to retreat now.
"Damn it, no matter it's a small team or a squadron, the labor and management are going to work today!" Li Yunlong spat out the grass in his mouth.
He got up and stretched his stiff limbs, "Everyone is here, attack!"
Having said that, rush towards the battlefield ahead!
No matter which friendly force was ambushing him, Li Yunlong rushed over now. Even if he couldn't eat the meat, he still wanted a share of the pie.
Although it was a bit disappointing to be preempted by someone in an ambush attack, Li Yunlong never returned empty-handed.
What's more, it has been freezing for several hours in the dead of winter, so we must not suffer this loss.
Whether it's the 358th group or another main force group, today Li Yunlong, who is talking about breaking the sky, wants to get something back.
One by one, the soldiers who were lying in ambush in the ditch trembled and climbed up. They also moved their hands and feet for a while, and then rushed forward without hesitation following the regiment leader.
They all heard violent explosions and gunfire. They had only encountered such fierce firepower during the bloody battle against Sakata United.
But no warrior was afraid.
Because the person rushing in front of them was the group leader.
"Captain! Commander!" Zhang Hu, the scout in front who was responsible for keeping an eye on the enemy, rushed down towards Li Yunlong's large team.
He was panting and shouting all the way.
...
The time goes back 10 minutes.
The Dagushan guerrillas who rushed to a hilltop 2 miles outside Yelangyu overnight to ambush took advantage of the darkness to build field fortifications under the command of Gao Jianwu. They dug out two tunnels on the hillside 300 meters away from the road. Trenches more than one meter deep.
Lu Fan's heavy machine gun squadron built a wooden raft roof as usual, and very carefully shoveled snowflakes on top to cover it. No trace of movement could be seen from dozens of meters away.
Six 92 heavy machine guns are distributed on the hillsides on both sides of the road, and they have built field anti-artillery fortifications that were effective last time.
The main mortar position was deployed on the reverse slope by Gao Jianwu, and the bombardment of Zhuyuan was set up according to accurate map data. At that time, the leading convoy would be blocked and the little Japanese would be blocked on the road in the middle of the valley.
The mortar team of the infantry detachment was deployed at the other end of the ambush, waiting to bombard the rear of the little Japanese convoy and beat the dog with a closed door.
According to Gao Jianwu's battle plan, when the Japs entered the ambush area, the mortar unit took the lead in launching an artillery bombardment to block the Japs. Then machine guns and grenade launchers were used as the main firepower to massacre and injure the Japs trapped in the middle of the road.
12 crooked light machine guns and 6 heavy machine guns were distributed on both sides of the valley, forming a crossfire. Grenades and sharpshooters targeted the Japs for mobile combat, while the rest of the soldiers remained silent in the trenches, waiting for the Japs to rush up the hillside before starting to harvest.
Now equipped with six 90mm small steel cannons and 12 81mm mortars, the mortar unit has locked down nearly 50 meters of the road.
Gao Jianwu was on the hilltop near the mortar position, staring closely at the arrival of the Japs' baggage convoy. When the Japs' lead truck entered the designated area in the telescope, Gao Jianwu shouted "Fire!"
Liu Shiqiang, who had been prepared for a long time on the position, gave an order, and the 12 guns of the mortar unit began to fire a wave of three rapid fires.
36 mortar shells of different calibers flew towards the Japanese convoy like death scythes.
boom!
boom!
boom!
In an unexpected series of explosions, the cars at the head of the Little Devils' convoy were hit by bullets. At least six cars were directly hit, instantly blowing the Little Devils on board to pieces!
At least dozens of little Japs were taken away directly by the bombardment and returned to Amaterasu's sacred toilet.
"azimuth 3-5, secret position 7-10, 3 rapid fires!" Gao Jianwu continued to order after observing the effect of the first wave of shelling.
"azimuth 3-5, secret position 7-10, prepare for 3 rapid fires!" Liu Shiqiang repeated, and the shooters began to nervously adjust the mortar elements. According to the element parameters provided by Gao Jianwu, the 12 mortars were set in sequence. Conduct a covering bombardment of the road nearly 100 meters in the middle of the Japanese transport team.
Soon another round of three rapid fire rounds was launched, and several cars in the center of the Japanese baggage train were hit and set on fire! Because the Japs jumped out of the car and fled, the number of Japs killed in this wave was much lower than in the first wave of shelling.
"Old Liu, evacuate the position immediately, be careful of the Japanese counterattack." Seeing that the head and center of the Japanese baggage convoy were completely paralyzed, Gao Jianwu ordered loudly.
"Old Liu, from now on the mortar unit will disperse and freely choose targets to shoot at. When the charge horn sounds, the bombardment will stop. Remember that each bombardment should not stay for more than 3 minutes!"
"Yes! Captain, Shi Qiang understands!"
As the mortar unit nervously evacuated, the guerrillas' 6 heavy machine guns and 12 light machine guns, which had already opened fire, sprayed out tongues of flame to mow down the little Japs who jumped out of the vehicle.
The bullets were pouring thickly, staring at the little devils one by one and calling them names.
The little Japs who luckily escaped the two rounds of shelling just now and had no time to find a bunker were hit by machine gun fire from both sides and couldn't even lift their heads!
The guerrilla sharpshooters who were lying in ambush in the trenches also secretly showed their heads at this moment and began to target and harvest the little devils.
It's just that at this moment, the kid is basically more than 200 meters away, and there are only a handful of sharpshooters who can hit the kid.
Most sharpshooters can hit two or three times out of ten, but they may not be able to kill them.
However, the effect of injuring the little devil is better than killing him.
Because the Kwantung Army at this time was still in its elite period of being arrogant and unwilling to give up on its comrades, injuring one little Japs would at least divert two or more little Japs for treatment.
One was ebbing and the other was ebbing, and for a while, the Dagushan guerrillas overwhelmed the Kwantung Army's baggage train.
The scattered machine guns and grenade launchers of the Japs were almost no threat to the guerrillas who had dug trenches. Only a handful of grenades from grenade launchers fell into the trenches, killing and injuring the guerrillas in small numbers.
And more grenade grenades aimed at heavy machine gun fire were no deterrent to Lu Fan and their fortifications!
