Chapter 287: The ambush failed
------------
? Zhao Zhi felt that the bones in his body were about to fall apart, not because of pain, but because of the steamed buns, they were upside down, there was no stretcher, and the steamed buns had to be carried by Zhao Zhi with a soft rope net attached to the belt, although Zhao Zhi repeatedly asked him to walk, but under the repeated insistence of the steamed buns, Zhao Zhi had to lie obediently in the net.
The sky has gradually brightened, since Zhao Zhi blocked the pursuers in sections, those guys like flies in the back didn't dare to chase so tightly anymore, only occasionally appeared in the goat's telescope, but it was only occasional, it was like a flash of surprise. "We're running out of bullets, tell the brethren to save some money" Goat distributed magazines to the submachine gunners in charge of the break, and the remaining bullets were only enough for everyone to have less than three magazines, and the goats gathered them together and gave priority to the submachine gunners who were in charge of the break, and the riflemen who were sent to be the spearheads of the team to act as scouts.
The morning sun shining warmly on the body, coupled with the green plains and meadows under the sky, this moment seemed to be more peaceful than ever, if there were no Japanese troops in hot pursuit, then all this would really be perfect. Zhao Zhi, who had been re-bandaged with his wounds, and Uncle Guo and Lao Pao were lying on the grass, chatting and enjoying the sunshine, and the steamed buns with binoculars were lying next to them with a depressed face, observing the surrounding situation.
It was already half an hour ago when they met with Uncle Guo and Lao Pao, seeing that Zhao Zhi was carried over again, Uncle Guo and Lao Pao were both panicked, and after Fang Tianyu carefully checked Zhao Zhi, everyone put their hearts in their stomachs, compared to his previous injuries, this time it was really a minor injury. Along the way, there are marks left by Yuan Qingqing and them to guide the direction, but this plain is too big, and they don't know when they will be able to go out or find Yuan Qingqing, because their radio soldiers have already been killed, and the radio station is damaged and cannot be used, they have lost contact with Yuan Qingqing, and can only follow the mark to search forward.
Tranquility is not suitable for now, this is just an illusion, the old cannon took people back to his old business and dug a trench here, and he planned to use Bazooka this time, he has been chased by the Japanese army, so that the grumpy old cannon has a belly of fire. In just one night, Zhao Zhi's 200 people lost more than 40 people, and they were all elite guys in the direct battalion, which were trained by Roger hard.
The Japanese troops pursuing behind did not retreat, but only hid their whereabouts, so Zhao Zhi did not object to teaching the Japanese a lesson here, it would be better if they could be completely solved. No one likes to risk their lives, it is obvious that it is indeed a very dangerous thing to be pursued all the time, so if you don't want to be killed by the enemy, then you can only take the initiative to kill your enemy first to eliminate hidden dangers, this is the rule of war, victory always belongs to the brave, obviously, Zhao Zhi understands this truth.
Only Zhao Zhi and some of the officers stayed in the trenches, as well as all the submachine gunners, the sniper of the uncle of the country was handed over to Da Niu to take to hide on the flank, and the rifleman was handed over to the dog to retreat 200 meters to establish a defensive line, and they wanted to provide fire cover for Zhao Zhi and others when they retreated. The plan is thorough, everything that should be prepared, just to see if the enemy will come, Zhao Zhi plans to wait until the afternoon, if the enemy still does not appear after lunch, his side will give up the ambush and take the initiative to retreat.
Zhao Zhi's men were well hidden, especially the submachine gunners who were hiding in the trenches of the main position, the top of the trenches was still covered with turf and bush branches, except for the officers and lookout posts, the submachine gunners were all nested in the shady trenches to seize the time to rest. But there are also those who don't want to sleep, just like Hao Yong, a Sichuan soldier who is called a mouse, Hao Yong is taking advantage of this moment to mend his pants. When encountering the Japanese army at night, Hao Yong accidentally fell to the ground, and his companions thought that he had been shot, so they dragged him for 100 meters until Hao Yong's pants were torn with two holes, revealing Bai Huahua's buttocks.
Hao Yong is not good at sewing and repairing, and there is no needle and thread yet, so Hao Yong used the simplest method, using adhesive tape to glue the two holes in his pants. The adhesive tape was obtained by Hao Yong from the ambulance soldier Fang Tianyu, and with the light that shot obliquely into the trench through the cracks in the turf, Hao Yong completed his grand repair work with little effort. Hao Yong used up a whole roll of adhesive tape, and what he got was a pair of pants that were a little thicker on his buttocks, so Hao Yong was very satisfied with his craft, at least he didn't have to show his ass to be laughed at by everyone.
"Mouse, you're *** good at it, but how can I look at your ass is a lot bigger, be careful to become the target of the little devil's gun" The big bag with a full face and beard sat in the trench and wiped his submachine gun, his military uniform jacket was spread on the ground, and it was full of submachine gun parts. Da Bao and Hao Yong have a good personal relationship, so he makes fun of Hao Yong's big ass while wiping his gun, and the other soldiers in the trenches know that they are good, so they all wait to see Hao Yong's counterattack.
Sure enough, Hao Yong, who was teased by Da Bao, spat on the dirt wall of the trench, slowly rubbed a mud egg with his saliva and dirt and pinched it in his hand, and then bounced the slimy mud egg out when Da Bao was not paying attention. This is something that Hao Yong and Da Bao often do, but Da Bao still sits on the ground casually and wipes the gun, the mud egg stuck to his ear is so conspicuous, but he is still a serious gun wipe. Because he knew that if he got the mud egg off his ear or spoke ill of Hao Yong, then there would be a second or third mud egg flying towards him.
Dabao's ignorance directly defeated Hao Yong, and in desperation, Hao Yong had no choice but to put his head to the lookout hole and look out of the trench boringly. There are many guys like Hao Yong who observe the movement outside through the lookout holes, and in order to block the Japanese army, the old artillery dug a total of three 100-meter-long trenches here. It's just that because of time, the trenches are not too deep and wide, and the three trenches are not connected together, but it is obviously safer in the trenches than lying on the ground to block the Japanese army.
"Coming, coming" Hao Yong turned around and looked for his steel helmet in the trench, and then woke up the sleeping guys one by one, the Japanese striker had already appeared, about a squad of Japanese soldiers. Zhao Zhi and they also saw these Japanese soldiers, but there were really few people like this, "Inform my uncle, let them put these guys down, and they can't run away from one" Zhao Zhi and Uncle Guo have walkie-talkies on both sides, and it is very convenient to connect, a few minutes later, only the gunshots rang out, and those Japanese soldiers were all left on the grassy slope, such a distance is as simple as playing for snipers.
After the gunshots rang out, several figures rushed up from Uncle Guo's side and ran desperately to the rear, which was a "rout" specially arranged by Uncle Guo, in order to make the pursuing Japanese soldiers think that they were the ones who shot just now. The bait has been released, and the next thing is to see if the Japanese army will be fooled into chasing, as long as they dare to come, they will definitely fall into the trap arranged by Zhao Zhi. This ambush was during the day, and Zhao Zhi's side was waiting for work, and he was ready to leave all the pursuing Japanese troops here.
With those snipers pretending to run away is the steamed bun, in order to pretend to be like that, the steamed bun even let the two snipers carry himself all the way, from a distance it seems that this guy should be injured and can't run fast. But half an hour has passed, and Zhao Zhi and the others still haven't seen any Japanese troops appear, and the steamed buns and their baits have already bypassed the trenches and run to the rear. Could it be that the Japanese discovered that there was an ambush here? Zhao Zhi's heart couldn't help but wonder, but his side entered the trench early, and also implemented sound control, so it shouldn't have been discovered by the Japanese army?
Zhao Zhi is depressed, there are people who are more depressed than him, Sakai is like this, when Zhao Zhi and they retreated, the goat in charge of the broken back after getting rid of the pursuit of the Japanese army, not only cleaned up the traces left, but also took a few scouts to disguise the traces of going in other directions, the Burmese under Sakai were hungry and thirsty and actually chased in the wrong direction, and when Tianming found out, they had deviated from Zhao Zhi and the direction they evacuated about 10 miles. The helpless Sakai trench ordered the troops to go back the same way and look for traces again, and the sharp soldiers they saw were just a flank guard sent by Sakai, and they were mistakenly taken as their sharp soldiers.
If Zhao Zhi knew that it was the gunfire on his side that provided a place for Sakai, he would definitely vomit blood in anger, and when he heard the gunshots, Sakai's troops were still 5 miles away from Zhao Zhi's right, and they were rushing over at full speed. It's just that Sakai's people chased all night, both physically and mentally were very bad, and the soldiers were almost dragging their feet on the march, in such a state, they caught up with the Chinese army, and they were also unable to attack, so Sakai had to order the troops to rest 3 miles away from Zhao Zhi and them. And Sakai didn't know the truth at all, and his temporary soft-heartedness saved his name, but there were hundreds of ambushes in front of him.
"Do you want to send scouts up to take a look" Seeing Zhao Zhi's anxiety, the goat wanted to take the scouts to see what was going on, not that he was not worried about the scouts, but that after a few fierce battles with those scouts left behind at the time of the break, there were only a dozen left, and half of them were wounded. "No, let's take a look first, if it doesn't work, let's retreat, maybe the Japanese army took the initiative to retreat" Zhao Zhi lay on the trench and shook his head, he knew what the goat meant, but in the case that there were already Japanese soldiers, he couldn't joke with the lives of the brothers, who knows if the Japanese army wanted to be patient with himself and wanted to fight his own counter-ambush.
"Let the brothers be on guard, the gun will not leave the hand" Zhao Zhi had no choice, he was now the arrow was wound and could not let go. The old cannon and their people were better, and they had already exhausted their physical strength after running away with those people all night, and they had only rested for less than 2 hours, and their recovered physical strength could not support another long march. So Zhao Zhi had to wait, just wait here, while recovering the strength of the brothers, while being more patient with the Japanese army, he didn't believe that the guy on the other side could be so calm.
It was almost noon, Zhao Zhi and the others hid in the trenches and ate a few bites of compressed biscuits with cold water, except for a few guard lookouts, other people, including Zhao Zhi, were all crammed into the shady trenches to sleep and rest. Seize all the time to rest, this is the skill of veterans, and a little more physical strength will save their lives at a critical moment. Still didn't come, the noon sun was scorching, the weeds on the plains were a little withered, the lookouts looked at their eyes a little sore, and they still didn't see the expected Japanese army appear.
"These dogs chased so hard last night, why didn't they come?" The irritable Zhao Zhi couldn't sleep at all, and after turning over a few times in boredom, he simply sat up and shouted to the side, "Uncle, it seems that those Japanese soldiers will not come, so let's withdraw first, and after you withdraw to the dog's side, we will withdraw here" The sniper in Uncle Guo's hand can cover a distance of 300 meters, and even if he retreats to the dog, he can hit Zhao Zhi's side, so those who evacuate in advance can only be snipers.
The soldiers in the trenches were woken up again, but this time they were about to retreat, the Japanese army did not appear, and Zhao Zhi was unwilling to play with them anymore. Zhao Zhi still used the rolling evacuation taught by Roger this time, and when his part of the people withdrew to the dog, he asked the dog to retreat 500 meters with the riflemen and Uncle Guo, and then withdraw again. And so on, until Zhao Zhi and the others withdrew for 4.5 miles, that Zhao Zhi gathered his troops together and marched normally.
Compared with Zhao Zhi's frustration, Sakai was extremely happy, even a little ecstatic, at this time, because he was now standing in front of the trench dug by the old artillery. If he hadn't decided to rest his troops temporarily, he would have fallen into the trap of the Chinese people, looking at the location of these three trenches, this is to defeat himself here at one time, Sakai couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat while being excited, and he had a little more expectations for the commander of this Chinese army, looking forward to fighting the other party again.
After a night of pursuit, Sakai's troops also suffered a lot of casualties, but most of the dead were those Burmese who led the way, and the Japanese soldiers under his command did not suffer many casualties. But even so, Sakai lost the confidence to pursue alone, he needed reinforcements, otherwise it would be difficult to take this and that army with his own troops, and if he didn't make it, he would have to put himself in. "Send a report to the wing, just say that we have found a 500-strong Zhina army, which has been firmly entangled by us and needs immediate reinforcements" Sai stood on the edge of the trench with his legs on his command knife, looking full of confidence, and he had the intention of waving his army to take Zhao Zhi as soon as the reinforcements arrived. ~
