Chapter 308: The Enemy Enters the Pocket Formation
Whether the little devil can draw reinforcements is a question, even if the enemy can send reinforcements, he will not be able to break through Beigu Town for a while.
This is one of the reasons why Li Hong must set up an ambush on Guanma Road, and the enemy will be a dead end if he enters Guanma Road.
The cavalry battalion and the first battalion of the security regiment remained in the town to defend, and the fourth and fifth battalions were responsible for cutting off the enemy's rear.
Half an hour later, Li Hong personally led the officers and men of the 4th and 5th Battalions to the entrance of the Guanmadao Mountain Road.
The route at the entrance to the Sekima Road is narrow and dangerous, only about two or three meters wide at the widest point, and on one side of the mountain road is a mountain forest, and on the other side is a large reservoir with water covering several kilometers long.
"The infantry occupies the mountains and forests in front to build fortifications, the artillery establishes positions, and the various machine gun fire teams seize the highest point, fast, everyone moves quickly!"
Li Hong commanded the soldiers loudly, and then he asked a squad of soldiers to lay a large number of mines 300 meters in front of the mountain road to defend.
With digging tools in their hands, the soldiers of the security regiment dug trenches, built trench fortifications, and set up command posts as fast as they could.
The signal soldier in the command post reported loudly to Li Hong: "Report to the regimental seat, the 103rd Division of the 47th Army, the 221st Brigade of the 85th Division of the 47th Army, and the 113th Division of the 51st Army, all departments have sent a telegram that the Japanese army has entered the ambush point. ”
The little devil troops in front of them all entered the pocket formation, and the two battalions of the security regiment were the most critical rope that tightened the pockets.
"Little devil, your end has come, and Guanma Road is your grave!"
Li Hong smiled confidently, then picked up a flare gun and fired several shots into the sky in succession.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!"
Three red flares flew into the sky, and the ambush battle began.
Suddenly, the noisy gunfire on the mountain road on the entire Guanma Road rang out.
"Tutu Tu Tu Tu—"
"Boom, boom—"
The Devil Kurosawa Brigade was ambushed by the 103rd Division, the 221st Brigade, and the 113th Division at the same time.
Li Hong stood on the highest point of the mountain forest, holding a telescope in his hand, looking at the situation of the several kilometers of mountain roads and passes in front of him.
In this ambush battle, the tactics of dividing and encircling and annihilating were also adopted, and the officers and men of the Third Group in front relied on the favorable terrain to launch strikes.
A number of machine guns were fired at full power, and the artillery fire was constantly suppressed, and the Kurosawa brigade on the mountain road was taken by surprise.
"There is an ambush, there is an ambush, quickly counterattack!!"
When the devil soldiers heard the commander's order, they panicked and picked up their weapons to find a hiding spot on the side of the ambushed mountain road.
Several devil communication soldiers ran to Kurosawa Harataro to report.
"Report to the general, the vanguard of the Shanban Wing was ambushed by the Chinese army at Huyaguan, and the road ahead was completely blocked!"
"Report to the general, the Duanmu Wing in the middle was ambushed by the Chinese army at Nianping Pass, and the Wing Leader Duanmu Tengzhi was seriously injured!"
"Report to the general, our artillery brigade and logistics brigade were ambushed by the Chinese army on the mountain road of Guanmadao!"
Hearing these reports, Kurosawa Harataro gritted his teeth angrily and scolded angrily.
"Baga Ya Road, how can this be, how can there be so many Chinese troops ambushed here?"
Kurosawahara Taro asked Shunji Ikeda next to him loudly in a questioning tone.
Shunji Ikeda thought for a while, and soon realized that Li Hong did not really surrender, and that all this might have been his doing.
"It's not good, general, we fell for Li Hong, this ambush, Li Hong and the Chinese army have already premeditated, this cunning and greedy guy ......" Ikeda Shunji is both helpless and angry, he really shouldn't believe Li Hong's untrustworthy bastard.
Then again, if you talk to the little devil about the principle of credit, it will not be Li Hong's style of doing things.
"Yaga, Ikeda-kun, you are known as the deadliest spy on the Chinese battlefield, and I think the spies of your intelligence agency are simply a bunch of rice buckets!" Kurosawa Hara Taro unceremoniously rebuked Shunji Ikeda.
In terms of military rank, Kurosawahara Taro is Ikeda's superior, but Ikeda Shunji is not the other party's subordinate, he was scolded and a little angry.
"Yaga, Kurosawa-kun, how can you blame all the blame on our secret service, the matter has come to this, we should think about how to break through, instead of scolding like a coward!"
"You ......"
Kurosawahara Taro was scolded and had nothing to say.
Bullets and shells were flying everywhere, and Shunji Ikeda and Kurosawahara scrambled to find a place to hide.
"Ikeda-kun, you once served as an operational staff officer, and now the whole brigade has completely fallen into the ambush circle of the Chinese army, how can we break through?" Kurosawa Hara Taro asked Shunji Ikeda in a soothing tone.
"There are many dangerous passes in the area of Guanmadao, and the terrain is favorable to the Chinese army, and our army cannot carry out an effective counterattack under such a terrain disadvantage, and the road ahead is blocked by the firepower of the Chinese army."
Shunji Ikeda continued: "Kurosawa-kun, if we want to break out of the siege at the moment, we can only rely on ourselves, and I suggest that there may be a glimmer of hope for the withdrawal of troops to Beigu Town, otherwise, my entire brigade will probably be wiped out here today......
Kurosawa Harataro thought for a moment, took Ikeda's suggestion, and then asked the communications corps to send a request for air support to the flying team.
Soon, Kurosawahara Taro gave the order to the ministries to retreat.
Even though the Devil's retreat order was given in time, most of the troops had already exchanged fire with the ambushed Chinese army.
Once the fire is exchanged, it is very difficult to evacuate the battlefield, otherwise, the whole army will be in chaos, and the casualties will be very large.
Thousands of little devils hurriedly withdrew from the battlefield and fled as fast as they could in the direction of Beigu Town.
The little devils fled all the way, and the mountain roads were full of dead and injured little devils, and nearly a thousand devils died.
Li Hong saw the little devil who had fled in the telescope, and a sneer of killing appeared on his face.
"Signal troops, order the artillery and the divisions to be ready for battle!"
"Yes, Tuanza!"
The communications corps immediately called all combat units.
Afterwards, Li Hong picked up the Mosin Nagant rifle and hid in the fortifications in the mountains and forests waiting for the devil to arrive.
After about twenty minutes, a platoon of devil vehicles drove over, and behind the convoy was a ghost infantry unit running in confusion.
Li Hong moved the rifle in his hand to find valuable sniper targets among the devil officers and soldiers.
Soon, he spotted a devil officer sitting in the co-pilot seat of the military card in the front row of his scope.
"At a distance of 1,000 meters, the car moves 5 meters per second, corrects twice to the left, and the bullet falls for two ......"
Li Hong's crosshair followed the target on the vehicle, silently calculated the shooting speed in his heart, and decisively pulled the trigger with his fingers.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, a muffled gunshot rang out first, and bullets spun out of the forest at high speed.
After a short flight, the warhead penetrated the windshield of the co-pilot of the military truck 1,000 meters away.
