Chapter 80: Ambush of the Japanese Army
The troops of the two regiments were hidden in the valley on both sides, and Zhang Chong put these collected caps on the outskirts of the valley to confuse the Japanese air force, and sure enough, just after they were hiding for half an hour, two Japanese planes flew by, and after seeing the caps on the ground, they began to bomb as if the 60th Army was on the march to break through.

After the bombs were dropped, the Japanese army fired another fierce strafing fire, and the smoke and dust on the ground soared into the sky before flying away, but after the plane went away, Zhang Chong was not in a hurry to move forward, but let the troops lurk here.
You must know that the current Japanese army has formed an encirclement of the entire Xuzhou area, and the 60th Army and 10,000 troops have basically jumped out of the encirclement, but the 60th Army is still surrounded by the Japanese army, and if the Japanese army is slow to jump out of the encirclement, there will be more dangers, if the Japanese army's mouth is completely formed by then, then Zhang Chong's two regiments will be turned into ashes in the encirclement of the 250,000 Japanese army.
However, Zhang Chong has always led the troops to play cards according to common sense, but he has repeatedly achieved miraculous results, and the soldiers also have great admiration for him, although they don't know what medicine Zhang Chong sells in the gourd, but they also strictly guard their posts and wait for orders at all times.
After waiting for more than an hour, the sky was gradually falling, but I saw lights on the road in the distance, the sound of cars, tank tracks, and infantry motorcycles, which came from afar.
This is a pursuit unit of the Japanese army, with two tanks, four personnel carriers, and a brigade of more than 1,000 soldiers behind it.
"The division commander is going to fight the devil in an ambush"! Li Fan said with a smile.
At this time, Zhang Chong's order came, "All departments are not allowed to expose their firepower, and they are waiting for the signal flare to rise before firing!" ”
The Japanese troops also never thought that when the Chinese army began to retreat on all fronts, there were people who dared to stay in the war zone to ambush them, and the 700,000-strong army was defeated all the way, and they all wanted to throw out the Japanese army's pursuit range as soon as possible.
Therefore, there was no need for the Japanese army to reconnoitre, but they drove all the way to the valley, everyone quietly hid in the valley, waiting for Zhang Chong's order, just when the Japanese forward troops were about to walk out of the valley, and the follow-up troops had all entered the valley, Zhang Chong ordered: "Launch signal flares"!
Before the words fell, the signal flares that had been prepared rushed into the sky, and at this time, the soldiers hidden on both sides of the valley opened fire one after another, and the fierce fire of the two regiments instantly killed a large number of Japanese troops in the valley, and at this time, two battle defense guns also locked on the two tanks of the Japanese army and opened fire fiercely, and a moment later, the two tanks of the Japanese army were also hit and paralyzed in the field.
At this moment, the strength of the two battalions rushed out in an instant, blocked the valley and opened fierce fire, and the Japanese army was also elite, and after a large number of casualties, the living Japanese soldiers relied on the surrounding gravel and trees to form a fire point and stubbornly resisted.
For a while, the two sides formed a short-term stalemate, although the total annihilation of this group of Japanese troops was already a sure thing, but it would definitely take time to fight like this, and time was now invaluable to them even a minute and a second.
Lu Hai frowned and shouted: "Grenade"!
Everyone took off their grenades and threw them towards the Japanese positions below, and many Japanese soldiers were blown up in the dense explosions, even those Japanese soldiers hidden behind the trees and rubble were also killed and injured by shrapnel, and the soldiers in the rest of the places saw that this trick was effective, and they pulled the grenades and threw them down.
It is no exaggeration to say that thousands of grenades rained down on the Japanese army crowd below.
"Boom"!
"Boom"!
A series of violent explosions sounded in the valley, the entire valley was almost turned into a sea of fire, most of the Japanese troops were killed, and now there are only two or three hundred people left, at this moment, Zhang Chong ordered: "Blow the trumpet"!
A few soldiers stood up and blew the trumpet, and all the soldiers jumped out of cover and charged down the valley, a team of thousands of people, and heavy fire poured downward. The soldiers in front swept with machine guns, and the soldiers in the back threw grenades, and the powerful firepower suppressed the Japanese troops and couldn't raise their heads, rushing to the front, and many Japanese soldiers were stabbed to death with bayonets.
From the beginning to the end of this annihilation battle, it only lasted about ten minutes, and a brigade of the Japanese army was wiped out here, and its own casualties were only a few dozen people, after all, the current two regiments were fierce, and they couldn't help but have a large number of machine guns, plus the machine guns captured from the Japanese army, almost every squad of them had light machine guns, and their firepower of more than 4,000 people violently covered the Japanese troops in the valley in an instant, even if you are steel and iron, you can't escape the fate of being beaten into a hornet's nest.
"Quickly clean up the battlefield and prepare to retreat"!
Twenty minutes later, Zhang Chong's troops set off again, a large Japanese army, only there were dozens of machine guns, and there were thousands of rifles, Zhang Chong took away everything that could be taken away, and all those that could not be taken away were burned in a concentrated manner, and then the large army quickly retreated towards the hook station by taking advantage of the already dark night.
This time, I didn't meet the Japanese army's pursuit troops, after all, the Japanese army had limited strength, how could there be so many pursuit troops, but most of the Chinese troops at that time were all rumors, and the grass and trees were all soldiers.
At one o'clock in the morning, Zhang Chong and his two regiments arrived at the Jingpu Road Jiagou Station, and it was only then that the people found that they had finally encountered a northern unit and some fleeing civilians.
Zhang Chong looked at the people in front of him who fled in a hurry with the old and the young, sighed and said: "We have to help them, otherwise we will go, the Japanese army will catch up with these people, none of these people will survive, pass the order, help these people, quickly withdraw from here, if anyone dares to take the people's property without authorization, they will all be shot"!
After a while, everyone put their guns on their backs and began to take the initiative to help these people, at this time, Lu Hai saw an old man with an injured leg staggering, and hurriedly stepped forward to carry the old man without saying a word, and strode forward with the team, and the rest of the soldiers were like this, the injured ones were carried, and those who could move around quickly walked towards the periphery of the hook station.
Everyone walked not far, only to hear the sound of a plane whistling through the sky, Zhang Chong's face changed and shouted: "Hide"!
Before the words fell, the Japanese planes that flew in the follow-up dropped bombs on the retreating soldiers and civilians below!
"Boom"!
"Boom"!
The violent explosion instantly tore apart the entire night, and many people who were running in the field were killed by Japanese bombs, and as soon as the bombers left, two fighters swooped down and strafed with machine guns.
Both the soldiers and the people suffered heavy casualties at this time, and these soldiers could not retreat in time in order to take care of the people, and the scene became extremely chaotic for a while.
For a while, the soldiers on the ground set up their Czech-style crooked handles and opened heavy fire on the two Japanese fighters in the sky, and at the same time, several Hatch Chase heavy machine guns were also hurriedly replaced with anti-aircraft tripods and fired into the air.
Dozens of machine guns turned into dozens of tongues of fire to shoot at high altitudes, especially the Hatch Chase heavy machine gun equipped by the 60th Army, which was used as an anti-aircraft machine gun before, and was more powerful after loading armor-piercing shells, and the Japanese planes were not fired by many machine guns when they strafed the Chinese army in the past, but now dozens of light and heavy machine guns are indeed firing at them, especially the Hatch Chase armor-piercing bullets, which can drill a thumb-sized hole without hitting a position.
The Japanese planes were threatened by the powerful firepower and had to start pulling upwards to escape, and at this moment, the fire of the two Hatch Keys was aimed at the Japanese Zero, which had retreated a little later, and opened heavy fire.
Two tongues of fire sparkled the plane, and just as the Japanese plane was about to pull up, a series of bullets flew up from the side and hit the nose of the plane.
The armor-piercing bullet instantly tore through the armor of the plane and shot into the pilot's body, and then the plane shook in the air and slammed directly into the wasteland in the distance.
"Boom!"
The Japanese plane, which had been flaunting its might and wantonly strafing just now, suddenly turned into a ball of fire, while the other plane dared to turn back and fled with bullet holes all over its body.
"Quick, take the wounded and retreat at full speed"!
Just as they were withdrawing from the station with the wounded and civilians, the Japanese artillery rang out violently, and heavy artillery shells whistled into the station, and in the violent explosion, the entire station was almost razed to the ground.
Zhang Chong then ordered to check the casualties, and after some inspection, they lost more than 400 people and more than 100 wounded in this bombing, and the northern army in the chaos also suffered heavy casualties.
"Take the wounded and take care of the people and retreat at full speed"! After Zhang Chong's order was handed down, the soldiers of the whole army retreated, but at this time, there was a riot in the front.
Zhang Chong frowned, took out the pistol on his body and walked up directly, but saw that the situation in the field was that the officers and soldiers of the northern army were robbing the people just now, and snatched the donkey that the people used to carry things.
The one who took the lead in the robbery was a lieutenant and a few soldiers, this lieutenant is now riding on a donkey, and he scolded at the same time: "Lao Tzu is bleeding in front, and now Lao Tzu can't walk, and you are still unwilling to requisition your donkey, and I will shoot you in the name of sabotaging the War of Resistance while pestering Lao Tzu!"
