Chapter 32: Change
While the recruits were digging trenches under the guidance of veterans, Lehi and his company commander were admonishing the gunners who were in charge of operating the two mortars.
Lehi, in particular, knew the power of the gas bombs, so he asked these artillerymen to wear devil's chemical suits and gas masks.
The explosion of a poison gas bomb does not kill people, but kills by poison gas.
Unfortunately, gas masks were not enough, but Lehi was soaked in snow water by the soldiers with towels or strips of cloth, and then covered their noses to avoid being accidentally injured by gas bombs during the charge.
But that's not enough, because the devil's gas bomb is mustard gas, which is not only transmitted by the respiratory tract, but also by skin-to-skin contact.
Therefore, it is best not to use poison gas bombs unless absolutely necessary, so as not to harm others and yourself, especially in this kind of terrain.
After telling him, Lehi went to the cemetery on the east side of the road, because the second platoon was responsible for ambushing here.
The number of people in the second platoon is not the largest among the four platoons of the sixth company, the largest is the first platoon, but the equipment of the second platoon is the best, so it is naturally more suitable for the task of preventing the Japanese army from retreating to the woods in the woods on the east side of the East Road.
To be honest, Lehi was used to corpses.
However, he is still a little panicked about the grave, unlike others, he has watched all kinds of horror movies in a mess, who knows if a zombie wearing a Qing Dynasty official uniform will jump out of it.
Although it was a little weird, he didn't feel it at all when he saw the people under him, so he suppressed the discomfort in his heart. About forty meters from the road, he found a grave where he could hide himself, then lay on the ground, and made a straw ring out of withered yellow grass and put it on his head.
"I'll hear it later, you can't shoot without my orders. As long as the devils retreat to our side, we will sound the mines and greet them well!
Got it! ”
"Understood!"
Just as Lehi checked the bullets for his submachine gun and rifle, and was about to pull out a few grenades and put them aside as backups, there was a 'rumbling' sound in the distance, and a faint black smoke rose in the distance, and a devil's motorcycle appeared in view.
"Prepare for battle!"
As soon as Lehi gave the order, dozens of soldiers hiding in the grave pushed the bolts of their guns and loaded their bullets, staring at the devil in the distance. Of course, he was still staring at Lehi, after all, he still needed to give orders.
For a while, there was a dead silence in the woods and on the western slope, only the white air that was not coming out of Ha proved that there were still many living people in this dead environment.
As the first devil motorcycle appeared in sight, more and more devil cars appeared in the field of vision.
When he saw the iron-clad guy behind the motorcycle, Lehi thought something bad was going to happen, but now he couldn't advise the company commander to cancel the ambush.
Lehi didn't expect that this convoy actually had tanks, although it was only a Type 94 Douding tank, but it was not something that the Eighth Route Army could deal with, unless it was carrying an explosive bag or a bundle of grenades to blow up at close range.
"Li Da Niu!" Lehi approached Li Da Niu's head and whispered, "Did you see that iron guy behind the devil's motorcycle?" ”
Li Daniu took the binoculars and looked at it, and nodded, "See!" ”
"After the fight starts, if you can't solve it without a conscience cannon, you rush to it with a few people and blow its wheels or ass with a dynamite pack or a bundle of grenades."
Li Daniu nodded.
Although he also asked the soldiers who operated the conscienceless cannon to give priority to blowing up the devil's Douding tank, he still had no bottom in his heart, after all, the conscienceless cannon was not accurate. And once the position is revealed, it is definitely the first target of the devil's grenadier.
As the entire convoy appeared in the telescope's line of sight, Lehi's heart sank to the bottom, and the Japanese army actually had two Douding tanks, one in front and one behind the convoy.
The entire convoy consisted of 1 motorcycle, 2 Type 94 Peatian tanks and 15 trucks, 20 horse-drawn carriages and more than 30 cavalrymen.
Two of the trucks were pulled by soldiers, who were supposed to be escorts from the previous Japanese stronghold.
As for what was on the other 11 trucks and 12 wagons, Lehi couldn't see it because it was so tightly covered.
However, the fact that the Japanese army was able to dispatch the Douding tank shows that what this convoy is pulling is not an ordinary thing.
On the face of it, this Japanese army had about a small squad of troops, plus dozens of baggage soldiers, and there should be more than a hundred people. If you don't have those two tanks, with the strength of 6 companies, you can eat it at a little price, after all, it is an ambush.
Just when Lehi was worried, the vanguard of the Japanese convoy had already driven into the ambush position, and when he saw that the motorcycles had already driven out of the ambush position, Lehi thought that the company commander had given up the operation, and he was still a little glad in his heart.
But who would have thought that with a sudden 'bang', the entire ambush position would blow up.
How could Lehi not be familiar with that 'bang', that is, the sound of the cannon firing without conscience.
"Boom!"
A violent explosion sounded in the Japanese convoy, and I saw a burst of fire from the truck that was pulling more than a dozen devils, and when an invisible wave of air took away a dozen devils on the car, several cavalrymen around also fell off their horses.
"Baga, enemy attack, enemy attack!"
For a while, the entire convoy of Japanese troops stopped at once, and the devils on the car got out of the car one after another, but at this time, a large number of grenades and a dense rain of bullets flew on the hillside on the left.
Hearing the dense gunfire and the loud noise from before, the Japanese thought that they had been attacked by a large Chinese army.
"Call for support, call for support. We were attacked by a large army of China, at least one regiment, and heavy artillery! ”
"Call for support, call for support!"
As soon as the battle began, the Japanese army reacted, but they were still defeated, and in the first round of attacks alone, the Japanese lost more than 30 people, about one-fifth of their troops.
Of course, the main thing was that a truck with soldiers happened to be hit by a conscienceless cannon.
"Baga, kill it! Give me offense! ”
。。。。。。
Just when the ambush battlefield was raging, the Daquan detachment in Shanyin County was confused.
"What? The convoy was attacked by which regiment? And there is also heavy artillery? ”
Hearing this news, Oizumi Shaozo felt very ridiculous.
At this time, near Shanyin County to Datong, there was a Chinese army, but it was the Eighth Route Army with very poor equipment, but where did the Eighth Route Army have heavy artillery.
"Your Excellency, but it is true that the convoy was attacked. If the above things are obtained by the Shina people, it is not good news for the empire. ”
The deputy of the brigade had a solemn face.
Naturally, what they transported in this transport convoy was all weapons and ammunition, of course, not from the Japanese army, but some better rifles, machine guns and other weapons captured on the Xinkou front, as well as weapons and ammunition, were transported to Datong.
That's a thousand guns!
The Japanese army naturally doesn't need these, but the puppet army wants it.
The reason why two armored vehicles were specially dispatched to accompany them was because there were guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army on this road, so the escort force was strengthened, and the strongholds along the way were also asked to send people to escort them.
If these weapons were obtained by the Eighth Route Army, the logistical pressure on the front-line army would become even greater.
"Call Team Ito immediately and ask them to reinforce as soon as possible. Also, Yoshida-kun, you rush to reinforcements with a squadron, just in case! ”
"Hey!"
