Chapter Twenty-Three: The Battle
"The devil convoy is coming"
On the ambush position of a battalion and a company, a soldier shouted loudly with a telescope.
At the exit of Luozhuang in the distance, a transport team composed of three large trucks and twelve horse-drawn tire carts drove along the road towards Yuan County, the body of the truck was full of grain bags, and the carriage was also full of grain.
These grains were all scavenged by the devils around Luozhuang.
In the front and rear of the transport convoy, there were dozens of devils guarding along the way, adding up to less than fifty devils.
"Be sound, don't scare the devil away"
The company commander slapped the slapping guard, snatched his telescope, raised the telescope to look at the devil, this kind of telescope from an independent group has a magnification of eight times, and you can see the devil's movement from afar.
"Pass the order down, wait for the devils who will hit the fire and hit the front and rear of the team, try not to hit the food, and transport the food back after the battle"
Looking at the full load of food on the vehicle, the company commander licked his lips and said in a cold tone.
I will take back everything that robbed me.
"Yes"
A soldier went to inform the troops.
Soon, the devil's convoy arrived at the ambush position of the first and second companies of the first battalion.
The 786 regiment almost did not engage in large-scale battles after being stationed here, and the devils did not know at this time that the originally scattered guerrillas with poor combat effectiveness here had become an Eighth Route Army, so the devils here were still very arrogant at this time, and the transport team did not have the slightest vigilance all the way, and the devil soldiers in front and behind were lazily marching, and they did not even send out the guard posts.
"Hmph"
The company commander snorted coldly, his finger was attached to the trigger of a three-eight big cover, and the erected photo hole was aimed at a devil driver.
Beside him, seventeen crooked machine guns were pointed at the devil convoy.
In order to strengthen the firepower, all the 34 crooked sub-machine guns of the original 786 regiment were concentrated in the first battalion and the first and second companies, while the other companies were equipped with Czech ones transported from the independent regiment.
Machine gun fire was strengthened, and two companies responsible for ambushing transports were not equipped with mortars.
Although the crooked handle is not as good as the Czech style, it is also a machine gun, and it is dense firepower, and a large number of devils will fall down with a single bullet.
Two companies with a total of 34 crooked handles, plus more than 200 38 big covers, ambushed the unsuspecting devil transport team, and there was no suspense in this battle.
"Fire"
As soon as the devil entered the ambush circle, the company commander gave the order to open fire.
Da Da Da ·
Bang Bang Bang ·
Intensive firing rang out.
In an instant, fifteen crooked handles and one hundred three-eight big covers shot at the devil together, and the dense bullets knocked the devil down, and the fierce shooting sound also made the horses and mules pulling the cart panic.
"Assault, assault, assault on the left"
"Keeping the horses in check"
"Stealth, Fight Back"
Although careless and arrogant, the captain of the devil quickly reacted, and after controlling the scurrying carriage, he organized his troops to counterattack the attackers on the left under the cover of cars and carriages.
The first round of intensive machine-gun fire killed about ten devils, and seven or eight devils were injured, so at this time there were more than thirty devils in the counterattack against a battalion and a company, although it was a third-line devil, but this group of devils was armed with the spirit of bushido, and the will to fight was not bad at all, and there were back and forth for a time and a succession, although the number was inferior, but there was no sign of being suppressed.
It's just that the company occupies the high ground and has a clear advantage, so the devils soon have new casualties, and the momentum of the counterattack is quickly suppressed.
"Lieutenant, the situation is not good, the guerrillas are very strong, we have to retreat, otherwise we will not be able to support the arrival of reinforcements"
A military officer brawn to the captain's side in dense fire.
"Yaga"
The command knife in his hand made a clattering sound, and the devil captain looked at the dense firepower of the ambush enemy in the distance, and his teeth chattered with anger.
Where did this enemy come from? Dare to ambush the imperial army at the gate of Luozhuang's station, and don't want to live?
"As long as we hold out here for half an hour, Luo Zhuang's large army will be able to arrive here and wipe out the ambushers."
Despite the danger of the situation and the risk of being wiped out at any time, the Devil Captain still tried to hold on, and he still fantasized about dragging the enemy and annihilating him in one fell swoop when the large army arrived.
Bang Bang Bang ·
Suddenly, a rain of bullets hit the muddy ground overhead, and the two of them hurriedly lowered their heads, and beside the two of them, a devil machine gunner fell straight backwards, and there were several bullet holes in the body of this devil machine gunner who were bleeding.
And the machine gun also fell to the ground due to the loss of the machine gunner.
"Bagaya Road"
Seeing the dead soldiers, the devil captain was furious, and he pulled out his katana and was about to rush up to pick up the machine gun and continue shooting, but fortunately, Jun Cao hurriedly suppressed his captain.
"Calm down, captain, rushing forward now can only give up your life in vain"
Above the heads of the two men, the dense bullets still hit the ground continuously, and the debris of dirt splashed on the top of the two heads from time to time.
Under the suppression of Jun Cao, the captain finally regained his composure, he glanced at the team, the driver of the transport team and other personnel had fled, only more than thirty imperial soldiers were still holding on, still using this bushido spirit to guard the imperial supplies.
But such a hold is obviously only in vain, the enemy's firepower is very strong, there are more than a dozen machine guns alone, and it seems that there are enough bullets, machine gun and rifle shooting has not stopped, although the marksmanship of the imperial soldiers is outstanding, but the numerical disadvantage is too obvious, regardless of the shooting technique, aiming is an essential process, but in the case of being suppressed by superior firepower, accurate shooting is simply impossible.
As soon as the head popped out, a bunch of bullets came from the opposite side.
Moreover, the car and carriage bunkers were very ineffective, and in just one moment of fighting, five soldiers had already been killed.
Damn, where did this guerrilla come from, with such fierce firepower?
When I go back, I must slaughter those rice buckets, so many enemies don't know about the station.
"Retreat"
Looking at the more and more fallen soldiers were transported, the devil captain gritted his teeth and gave the order to retreat.
Then the devil infantry team had just gathered on the other side of the road, and in an instant, a dense burst of gunfire rang out again overhead, and the second company opened fire.
Dadada····
Bang Bang Bang ·
Accompanied by a dense burst of gunfire, another hundred rifles and seventeen machine guns joined the battle.
Baga · ·
Before he could finish scolding, the Devil Captain was taken away by the first round of shooting, and red and white liquid flowed out of several huge bullet holes in his head.
The devils never expected that there were ambushes on both sides of the road, and the firepower was also very strong, plus the captain was killed, and finally until he was completely annihilated, they were unable to organize an effective counterattack.
At the same time as the devil convoy was violently beaten.
"The devils are out, all the devils in Luozhuang are out"
About a kilometer from the entrance of Luozhuang, an observer shouted excitedly.
