Chapter Eighty-Two: Attracting Firepower
Lu Hai and the others did not sneak in, but carefully reconnoitred the perimeter of the entire Japanese blockade line. I saw that these fortresses were occupied by www.biquge.info the Japanese army and established a blockade line in this way, especially in many places, these fortresses were built on the peaks on both sides, and there were Japanese defense lines on the mountains on both sides of the fortress, and it was extremely difficult for them to pass through here, and even if they barely passed through, they would suffer heavy casualties, and what was even more troublesome was that once they were entangled with the Japanese army too much, they would be entangled by the Japanese army, and they would not be able to leave if they wanted to.
After reconnoitring for a long time, Lu Hai noticed that the east side of Wuyang was a flat place, although there were not a few fortresses, and the number of Japanese troops stationed here was obviously large, but they had heavy artillery and a field artillery battalion of the 16th Artillery Regiment that was taken in halfway, as well as a field artillery company of the 12th Artillery Regiment, plus they still had heavy artillery in their own hands, these fortresses were not to be feared.
After marking this information, Lu Hai led everyone back to the outer mountains and reported this information to Zhang Chong, Zhang Chong weighed it and said: "Just break through from the east side, we can't let the Japanese army contain it, but I still have to give you a task, but you can weigh it, if you don't go, I won't force you."
"Division, commander, what task, what kind of task"? Lu Hai said.
"We need a small unit to feint on Voryang and attract a large force of the Japanese army, this task is very dangerous, if you think about it carefully, if you don't want to go, I won't force you." Zhang Chong said.
Lu Hai smiled and said: "Division commander, let's go, we will definitely complete the task"!
At this moment, Hai Zhizhi and the others, who were standing behind them, also spoke: "Rest assured, division commander, we will definitely complete the task"!
"Good! It is worthy of my Zhang Chong's soldiers, after you lead the devil's army here, you will quickly make a detour, and we will meet you on the periphery of the eastern defense line!" Zhang Chong asked.
"Okay, when to attack"? Lu Hai asked.
"Without further ado, twenty minutes later, you will take the initiative to attack from the front of the vortex, and our large army will begin to forcibly break through on the east side of the detour, remember that you will quickly retreat when you lead the Japanese army here, in order to give you better cover, I will plant explosives on this mountain, and when the time comes, you will up after you bring the Japanese army here, and then quickly get rid of the Japanese army and turn to the east side"! Zhang Chong said.
"Yes! Guaranteed to complete the mission"!
Saying goodbye to Zhang Chong, Lu Hai transferred his soldiers out when he returned to the army, although he was the battalion commander, and there were several company commanders below, but his soldiers were all temporarily formed, in fact, there were only more than 300 people, and Li Fan was also injured in the previous battle and sent to the rear hospital, and after hurriedly explaining, he took the troops and went in the direction of Voryang City.
When the troops walked to a kilometer outside the city of Wuyang, Lu Hai ordered the artillery to stop and began to set up mortars, at this time Lu Hai had more than a dozen mortars in his hands, although half of them were captured Japanese mortars, but it was better than nothing.
After correcting the coordinates, Lu Hai glanced down at his watch and said to Sun Yang: "When we are only three hundred meters away from the Japanese army, we will open artillery bombardment, don't feel sorry for the shells, the maximum base"!
"Don't worry!" Sun Yang said.
When Lu Hai and the others quietly touched the outer side of the outer defense line, only three hundred meters away, Sun Yang also ordered on time: "Open the cannon"!
"Knock"
"Knock"
"Knock"
......
The crisp sound of disarming sounded again, and one shell after another whistled and smashed into the rapid defense line under the city wall of Vortex Yang City.
More than a dozen Japanese soldiers on the outer defense line were killed, but the mortar power was limited after all, and it was useless to explode on the city wall.
"Open fire"!
Another series of shells shot out, and the forward positions of the Japanese army suddenly turned into a sea of fire, and Lu Hai also ordered at this time: "Fight"!
For a time, there was a lot of gunfire, especially in Lu Hai's troops, in order to create the existence of a large force, a single battalion had dozens of light machine guns, and the number of machine guns was already the strength of a large brigade of the Japanese army, and some of the main Chinese regiments at that time could reach this amount of firepower.
More than 100 Japanese soldiers on the forward defense line were suppressed by the fierce machine gun fire, and at this time, Sun Yang's mortars also began to bombard this forward position, and with the infantry fire of Shangluhai, the Japanese army immediately suffered heavy casualties.
Just when the Japanese army suffered heavy casualties, Lu Hai suddenly stood up and shouted: "Kill the devil"!
"Kill"! Everyone shouted in unison to launch a charge towards the forward position of the Japanese army, and when Lu Hai was only a hundred meters away from the Japanese army, Sun Yang also extended the mortar range and began to bombard the Japanese troops on the city wall to cover Lu Hai and their charge.
Under the heavy firepower, the hundreds of Japanese troops could not resist at all, and the position was broken through in a short period of resistance, and about ten minutes later, the Japanese troops on the forward position were completely annihilated by Lu Hai and them.
Just when everyone was about to rush forward, the Japanese troops who reacted also opened artillery bombardment, and the forward position instantly turned into a sea of fire, more than a dozen soldiers who had not been able to withdraw were covered by artillery fire, and Lu Haizhongren was also beaten back.
Lu Hai's face changed and he ordered: "Withdraw"!
Just when Lu Hai and the others turned around and retreated, as soon as the gate of Voryang City opened, the Japanese pursuing troops also followed closely and began to shoot, and at the same time, the Japanese troops in other places also thought that there were really heavy troops attacking Voryang City.
It was also at this time that Zhang Chong ordered the whole army to advance rapidly towards the east side of Voryang City under the cover of mountains and forests.
This time, the Japanese army chased out almost a brigade, and there were also mountain artillery to cooperate. The whole outside the city was full of cannon fire, and if you run a little slower, you may be swallowed up by the artillery fire.
After finally running out of the open field, Lu Hai ordered to suggest a defensive line on the hillside to attack the Japanese army, and when the Japanese army was only a hundred meters away from them, Lu Hai took the lead in raising the machine gun and shouted: "Fight"!
The soldiers hidden in various positions on the mountain opened fire one after another, and dozens of machine gun fire killed and wounded a large number of Japanese troops in the open field in various positions.
Just as the Japanese army was pushed back, Lu Hai ordered the whole army to quickly artillery in the mountains, and sure enough, not far from them, the Japanese artillery fire smashed on the position just now.
In order to prevent the Japanese from turning around, Lu Hai only ran out of the range of the artillery, and then began to block, but this time he ordered: "Don't resist too stubbornly, retreat while fighting"!
After the artillery bombardment, the large force of the Japanese army quickly went into the forest to pursue, in fact, to the mountains, the advantages of the Japanese army were not reflected, Yunnan is a mountainous place, most of the soldiers of the Yunnan army grew up in the mountains, and it was naturally handy to fight jungle and mountain warfare.
As a result, Lu Hai played hide and seek with the Japanese army in the jungle, with both the main force blocking and the attacking squad, which cooperated in an orderly manner, and the Japanese artillery could not accurately find the target in the jungle.
At this time, Lu Hai also led the Japanese army to the two mountain passes where they had rested before, where Zhang Chong had planted a large amount of explosives, once the Japanese army entered, it would turn into a melting pot, and there would be no scum left of the Japanese army who entered.
What Lu Hai didn't know was that the Japanese army completely regarded them as a main regiment, except for a squadron on the east side, and other places also successively transferred troops to participate in the encirclement and annihilation of them, and the total strength had reached two brigades, nearly 2,000 people!
And they only have one battalion, or an incomplete battalion, and 300 people are facing the encirclement and suppression of more than 2,000 Japanese troops, and I am afraid that they have also flown south.
After receiving reinforcements from various divisions, the Japanese pursued the previous brigade head-on, while the follow-up troops quietly surrounded them from behind Lu Hai.
Along the way, Lu Hai and the others fought and retreated, until they were pushed into the mountain col, and Lu Hai shouted: "Go find the detonator, and the rest of the people will fight me"!
Everyone formed a defensive line and shot fiercely, the Japanese soldiers who caught up killed a large number of people in the dense rain of bullets, and the undead also hurriedly hid behind the big trees, and the two sides formed a short stalemate for a while, and at this time, Lu Hai shouted again: "Grenade"!
Hundreds of grenades were slammed out, explosions were heard everywhere in the jungle, and the Japanese soldiers suffered heavy casualties and bombarded their lines with hand cannons.
"Boom"
"Boom"
Bullets fly, shrapnel flies,
After everyone threw out all the grenades, they began to retreat to the rear, and when they retreated to the valley on one side, Lu Hai opened his mouth and shouted: "The devils have all come in, have you found the detonator?"
"Found it"! Haijiji shouted.
"All retreat, ready to detonate"!
"Boom"
"Boom"
......
Before the words fell, a series of shells smashed into the middle of the crowd, and more than a dozen people died in the explosion for a while.
"Hit"!
With Lu Hai's roar full of anger, everyone fell down and started shooting, and several soldiers of the Japanese army with hand cannons were beaten into a sieve by machine guns.
After a fierce capture, dozens of people caught up by the Japanese army were suppressed to the death, and Lu Hai ordered to continue to retreat, because they were still in a minefield, and once they were detonated, they would not be able to escape the fate of being crushed.
And the Japanese army would not let them easily retreat and chase all the way up, and everyone fought and retreated, until the Japanese army of several hundred people had completely entered the minefield, and Lu Hai and they also ran to the edge of the minefield.
Lu Hai led everyone to run wildly and shouted: "Detonate"!
Kaiji slammed the detonator in his hand down.
"Boom"
The earth trembled violently, huge flames rose into the sky, and a violent roar sounded in the entire minefield, and the Japanese troops who had just rushed into the minefield were instantly overwhelmed by the violent blast wave, just to see that they who had escaped a long distance were also knocked to the ground by the aftermath of the explosion.
"Withdraw"!
"Battalion commander, there are devils behind us!
"There are also here"!
"There are brigades of devils all around, and we are surrounded"!
