Chapter 482: Yexi Ambush
It is more than ten miles to the north, and it enters the asphalt road that runs from east to west, which is very narrow.
The troops marched more than ten miles west, preparing for battle, digging fortifications on the side of the road.
People kept coming from the villages and towns of Yeo Prefecture in the east, asking to join the battle.
Most of them are militia groups, known as self-defense groups and maintenance associations, and they are the grassroots traitor forces of devils.
The devils are powerful, they are forced to fight with the devils, and in their bones, they don't want to.
Now, Hanfeng's troops are well-equipped, and they killed the devils twice in seconds, and they are all anyway!
Ye Zheng was worried that there were traitor spies mixed in and plotted against us, so he suggested refusing, Han Feng looked at it and incorporated them all.
In the process of digging fortifications, in a little more than a year, several militia groups came over, with a total strength of more than 120 people.
Han Feng organized them into an infantry company, appointed company commanders, platoon commanders, etc.
It is known as the Yewang Infantry Company.
Looking at the rows of mortars, a large number of shells, and the captured Japanese Type 38 field guns of the Hanfeng troops, everyone was chattering excitedly, "Steel cannon, steel cannon!" ”
Send a few officers over and give them rules and regulations, regularize regulations, and so on.
The troops were in direct ambushes on both sides of the asphalt road.
On the north side of the roadside, there is a river channel more than two zhang wide, and the embankment is more than two meters above the road surface.
Han Feng arranged the operational deployment.
On the front, there were direct interceptions by troops, and on both sides, infantry flanks.
There was a company hidden in the embankment, an artillery company and an infantry platoon on the front, and to the south, the terrain was open, leaving an infantry platoon and a cavalry platoon to lie there in ambush.
The infantry platoon dug individual pits, covered their heads with firewood and grass, and the cavalry hid in nearby villages.
The people in the village were not allowed to move, and Han Feng sent people to help them go east to safety.
The Yewang infantry company, which was considered a reserve unit, concealed itself in the village with the cavalry platoon.
The Wild King infantry company was poorly equipped, with an average of three men per rifle, and some were machetes and pikes.
Yes, since he joined in, Han Feng directly allocated all the captured Japanese-style equipment.
The broken guns of these soldiers were thrown away and replaced with Japanese-style, grenadiers and machine guns
These people jumped and jumped and jumped.
"I'm reliable with this unit, we're on the right track, hahaha!"
"If you buy a rifle, you can't buy it for dozens of dollars! Valuable! ”
At three o'clock in the afternoon, in the western part of Yewang County, in the plain area, thin asphalt roads crossed straight, and the bare poplars on both sides were densely packed.
Han Feng estimated that the enemy would draw troops back from the west.
Now, you can still hear the sound of artillery and gunfire in the west, and it is the battle of Nakajo Mountain.
Historically, the Japanese army besieged Nakajo Mountain, fought more than a dozen times, and was defeated, and finally, three years later, won a complete victory.
The infantry platoon attacking Yewang City called, and it had already taken the county seat, and after a few cannons, the devils and the puppet army abandoned the city and fled.
A Japanese reconnaissance team appeared, four cavalrymen.
Han Feng personally led several cavalry and met the enemy here.
They shot at the enemy with rifles from afar.
The devil cavalry fought back and retreated.
After a while, the Japanese army came from the west.
A whole two infantry squadrons, a cavalry team, an artillery team, plus a battalion of puppet troops, the total strength, more than eight hundred people!
The Japanese army operated in three ways, with a width of more than 2,000 meters!
This made the ambush of Hanfeng's troops seem nondescript.
The main forces of the Japanese army, on both sides, and the puppet army units in the middle.
It can be seen that the Japanese army was very cautious about returning to Yewang City, far exceeding Han Feng's expectations.
The 500 Han Feng troops, plus the newly formed Yewang Infantry Company, were only more than 600 people, which was less than the enemy's number.
The Japanese army's armament has an artillery team, including two infantry guns, two mountain guns, one field artillery, and two battle defense guns, and its strength is quite strong.
The Japanese artillery was in the middle of the road, pulled by horses and trucks, and in front of them was most of an infantry battalion of the puppet army, and there was also an infantry team guarding them.
At present, the enemy has more than 300 puppet troops and more than 90 Japanese troops in the middle road. The fire is ferocious.
On the left flank, 500 meters apart, there was an infantry squadron of Japanese troops, carrying one mountain artillery and three mortars for the rest.
The right flank, 800 meters away from the middle of the asphalt road, the farthest alert troops, deviated more than 600 meters, and the guard flank was behind.
The Japanese army on the right flank had one infantry squadron, one less infantry squadron, two infantry squadrons, and more than a hundred people.
However, there was an extra cavalry team here, about thirty people.
They carried two anti-aircraft guns and one mountain gun, and their firepower was quite good.
The three enemies marched in unison and headed east.
Han Feng saw it clearly in about fifteen miles, and immediately adjusted his troops.
An infantry squad was dispatched, plus an infantry squad of the Yeo Infantry Company, carrying two mortars, as the left flank troops, and the right flank as well.
Their task is to act as a decoy to attack the enemy's left and right flank troops, induce the enemy to pursue, pin down and disperse the enemy's two flanks, and create conditions for the main forces in the center to annihilate the enemy.
Han Feng is determined to take down the enemy.
To guarantee victory, he called out the system.
It's a pity that the system whispered to him that she was cultivating and couldn't be distracted, otherwise, she would go mad and lose all her efforts.
Yes, if you can't help, forget it.
Han Feng quickly stabilized his mood, observed the enemy, mobilized his own troops, and at the same time, sent heralds again and again to convey the order of adjustment to all troops.
The decoy troops set off.
They took the lead in attacking the Japanese forward reconnaissance units.
Mortars blazed, machine guns fired.
The middle lane also sent troops to attack.
Ten shells per shell,
They were about 500 meters away from the Japanese forward search team.
The Japanese searched with cavalry, and the infantry brigade was about 1000 meters behind the cavalry.
The decoy units of the Chinese army, one artillery bombarded the enemy's reconnaissance units, and one artillery shelled the enemy's subsequent infantry groups.
Basically, the three-way decoy troops are working at the same time, the sound of artillery is deafening, the firing is intensive, the power of light mortars is not great, and the density is still quite shocking.
Han Feng's special eyesight can clearly see the enemy situation within a radius of twenty miles, the number of enemies, and the equipment, even if you disguise yourself and hide behind houses and woods, you can't do it!
The battle was an uncertain battle for the Japanese army.
It is not known the origin, number, equipment, purpose of the Chinese army.
And Han Feng is clear to the Japanese army, as if looking at a phosphorus card, and the individual items are transparent.
The simultaneous raid of the three troops caused confusion in the Japanese army.
The Japanese army and the puppet army reacted very quickly, they were mainly professional veterans, quickly dispersed, formed a battle formation, looked for cover, and the forward scouts immediately shot.
The Japanese follow-up infantry, scattered on one side, mountain artillery and battle defense artillery, plus mortars, immediately set up and fired back.
The attack of the Hanfeng troops was still very effective.
They attacked in three directions, with six mortars, and suddenly attacked the enemy, and the results were good.
