Chapter 705: Majiahe Ambush
Wang Shoucheng, platoon commander of the reconnaissance platoon directly under the regiment, led a cavalry reconnaissance squad to go deep into the front line of the Japanese army besieging Yongji to reconnoiter according to Lei Yunfeng's deployment, and found that a squadron of Japanese troops was moving at full speed in the direction of the 46th Brigade of the Dongyuan Defense Line.
If the timing coincides, it is very likely that it will encounter the 54th Regiment returning to the base camp of the Western Route Army in the middle of the way.
In order to avoid encounters with the enemy at night and to disturb the 33rd Wing of the 108th Division of the Japanese Army, which was stationed in Kamigao, and the 77th Wing of the 20th Division of the Japanese Army, which was attacking Ushijima Island with all its might, Platoon Commander Wang immediately reported the information he had detected to Lei Yunfeng.
Lei Yunfeng did not expect that the Takeda Brigade would send a squadron to reinforce the Japanese army in Dongyuan, in order for the 54th Regiment to return safely to the base camp of the Western Route Army and to block this reinforcement of the Japanese army, he ordered the 54th Regiment to advance to Dongyuan at full speed, occupy Gumoling and prepare for battle.
The transport convoy was ordered to speed up and arrive at Gumo Ridge within 15 minutes after the main force of the 54th Regiment occupied Gumo Ridge and hide in the mountain col to stand by.
He led the 'Cheetah Commando' and the cavalry of the reconnaissance platoon to set up an ambush in the middle of the reinforcement of the Japanese squadron, and attacked the Japanese army reinforcing the Dongyuan defense line with the heaviest firepower, so as to relieve the pressure on the frontal battlefield of the 46th Brigade of the Western Route Army.
The 54th Regiment, which received the order, again accelerated its march to Gumoling, followed closely by the transport convoy, and it was expected to occupy Gumoling at 2:45 a.m.
Lei Yunfeng led a cavalry team composed of more than 60 people from the Cheetah Commando and the reconnaissance platoon directly under the regiment, and according to the reconnaissance information of the reconnaissance platoon commander Wang Shoucheng, he urged the horse to rush towards the Majia River in the southwest direction.
Majia River is the only way to Dongyuan in Shanggao City, and the highway is lined with hills, although the hills and ravines are vertical and horizontal, but not steep, it is the most ideal ambush place for concealed large troops and war horses.
The cavalry team that galloped all the way soon came to the hilly area 500 meters north of the Majia River, tied the war horse to the trunk of the tree, and immediately set up an ambush according to the deployment of Leiyun Peak, and used the favorable terrain to build simple fortifications.
At about one o'clock in the middle of the night, on the narrow road leading from Shanggao City to Dongyuan, a group of fast-moving black shadows appeared, Lei Yunfeng stood on the high post and looked into the distance, when he found the flag of this fast-moving figure, he not only sneered:
"Bastard, since you are a little devil who reinforces the Dongyuan defense line, it's good to come, I will let you die in Majiahe, and there will be no return."
Captain Ikawa, who was ordered to reinforce the Japanese army of the Sekiyama Hizhong Wing, led a squadron of Japanese troops to frantically pounce on the 46th Brigade of the Dongyuan Defense Line, and when they were approaching the Majiahe, the cunning Squadron Leader Ikawa ordered the troops to stop advancing and sent a sharp knife squad led by a military Cao to reconnoiter around the Majiahe River to the hilly area 500 meters ahead.
The Japanese army Cao led the sharp knife squad to quickly bypass the Majia River, and soon came to the cavalry team led by Lei Yunfeng to set up an ambush position, standing on the road below the ambush position, looking at the black hills on both sides of the road, as if the hills were ambushed by thousands of troops and horses.
In order to find out whether there were any ambushes in the hilly area, Jun Cao ordered the machine guns carried by the Jian[ www.biquwu.biz] knife squad to strafe the hilly areas on both sides of the road.
Suddenly, the Japanese machine gunner pulled the trigger and swept a shuttle of bullets into the hills on the east side of the road, and Lei Yunfeng shouted in a low voice: "Get down, no one is allowed to shoot and expose the target without my order."
The Japanese machine gunners fired a shuttle at the hills west of the highway with their machine guns, and the other Japanese soldiers pulled the trigger with the 38 big cover and fired a few shots aimlessly, and for a while of fire reconnaissance, they did not find any movement in the hills on both sides of the road.
At one o'clock in the middle of the night, a terrifying gunfire suddenly sounded 500 meters north of the Majia River, and it spread far away in the silent wilderness, so that the officers and men of the 54th Regiment who were rapidly advancing towards Gumoling at this time could faintly hear it.
The Japanese Sharp Knife Squad carried out fire reconnaissance and found no accidents, and Jun Cao ordered a Japanese soldier to run to report to the Squadron Leader Ikawa, and the large army could continue to advance towards Dongyuan with complete confidence.
At this time, the Japanese sharp knife squad, which was the forward reconnaissance, did not find that there was an enemy ambush in the hilly area through fire reconnaissance, and they became emboldened, not only lighting fire and smoking, waiting for the large army to follow, and then continuing to search forward.
Lei Yunfeng, a guy whose eyesight is many times higher than that of ordinary people, although it is at night, he sees things like day, and he can clearly see the movements of a few little devils standing loosely on the road.
He asked Li Guiyong beside him in a low voice, "Captain Li, each of your Cheetah Commandos has locked on a little devil on the road, can you eliminate them all in an instant?" Don't talk big, I'm going to listen to your ....... ”
"Tuanza, please rest assured, just like these nine little devils who are smoking and relaxing their vigilance at this time, as long as I lead eight team members to attack suddenly, I guarantee that they will be sent back to the island country in minutes."
"Don't be careless, tell the soldiers to make a lethal move, and definitely not cause a shootout and disturb the main force of the Japanese army that is following behind."
"No, Tuanza, this kind of small action of sneaking up on the enemy, the brothers of the Cheetah Commando have done it a lot, you just wait to see a good show."
Li Guiyong beckoned, and led nine team members to sneak out from behind the hills, with the help of the cover of night, his feet moved extremely carefully, and when he was about to approach the road, he suddenly flew out and pounced on the little devil.
Some of the little devils who were smoking had not yet lit them, and they were suddenly pounced up, and the fierce man like a tiger quickly took out a knife and fell to the ground with his throat cut.
The Japanese soldier Cao Chang took a puff of the cigarette that was lit on fire, and suddenly felt a strong hurricane rushing up behind him, and this cunning veteran didn't have time to pull the trigger to resist, so he leaned forward and rushed out, narrowly avoiding the fatal knife of the cheetah commando who pounced on him from behind.
This team member failed in a move and did not slack off, suddenly rose up in the air and kicked his legs violently at the bow waist and ran out, the desperate rush out of the army Cao heard a strong leg wind behind him again, his body moved to the side smartly, dodged a fierce blow again, and ran back with his legs.
Li Guiyong, who had already solved the target, found that the soldier Xiao Sun had dodged the Japanese army Cao when he launched two fierce attacks, and at this time he desperately fled to the large army, thanks to the bastard who was frightened by the surprise attack and forgot to shout.
If this bastard screams loudly while fleeing, it will definitely disturb Squadron Leader Ikawa, who is advancing towards the ambush position, and it is likely that the ambush battle will turn into a face-to-face offensive and defensive battle.
The Japanese Ikawa Reinforcement Squadron is an elite force of more than 200 people, and is equipped with an artillery squad, a machine gun squad, and a grenadier squad.
Although the cavalry team temporarily formed by Lei Yunfeng was well armed and equipped, the enemy was outnumbered, and if he wanted to start a fierce battle with a small force of more than 60 people and the Japanese squadron armed to the teeth, it must be his own people who were defeated.
Li Guiyong's thoughts and analysis were only in a few thousandths of a second, in order to kill the fleeing Japanese soldier Cao and not alarm the Ikawa squadron, which was rapidly marching here, he suddenly jumped and pounced.
At the same time, he threw the dagger in his hand at the fleeing Japanese soldier Cao, but because of the error in locking the target in the night, the dagger flew over the left ear of the military Cao, pulling out a blood groove, and the painful military Cao opened his mouth to shout.
