Chapter 293: Reinforcements

?“ Sir, the scout reported that a Japanese army was rushing over on our left side, and it was less than 2 miles away from here" The footman trotted over in the trench, which was the news sent back by Zhao Zhi on both wings of the alert scout, it seems that the Japanese army on the opposite side suddenly stopped attacking and was waiting for reinforcements, Zhao Zhi sneered and ordered the dog to call Changmao over. "Green"

"Long hair, the Japanese reinforcements are coming, bring your people to prepare to lay mines and explosives in the trenches, let's give them another big gift" Zhao Zhi, who had seen the power of explosives, couldn't help but use the trenches to make a big firework again. While the long-haired people were preparing explosives, Zhao Zhi took the soldiers in the trench with sapper shovels to build a ridge in front of the trench, and then paved a grass slope on the ridge. As long as the Japanese did not occupy the slopes on both sides of the trenches, they would not have known that behind the ridge was the trench, and from the Japanese side, it was just a small ridge overgrown with weeds on the plain.

Zhao Zhi dug several communication trenches behind the trench for retreat, if there was no cover of the ridge, the retreating soldiers would be very easy to be discovered by the Japanese army, so Zhao Zhi started the idea on the trench, using the ridge to affect the line of sight of the Japanese army and provide cover for the retreating soldiers. The firepower on the slopes on both sides was adjusted while the Japanese were not aware of it, and the submachine gunners were all transferred into the trenches, leaving only snipers and riflemen on the slopes, and then a few machine guns and gunners, their terrain was higher, and some long-range firepower was enough to suppress the Japanese troops.

The sun had already risen, the weather was starting to get hot, and the corpses of the dead Japanese soldiers on the battlefield were crawling with big-headed flies, as if a black and moving blanket had been covered with the corpses, and those who watched it wanted to gag. This is also unique to the jungles of Myanmar, as long as an animal dies, it will be crawling with this fly in less than half a day. The soldiers hiding in the trenches began to smoke cigarettes or stuff some tobacco into their noses to resist the smell of the battlefield, which they learned from the veterans of the battlefield, so that they would not be choked by the smell of the battlefield, which was very useful.

While Sakai was waiting, the Kojima squadron arrived in a hurry, a full infantry squadron of 300 people, and also carried 3 mortars and a large number of shells. Although Kojima and Sakai are both squadron leaders, Sakai is the commander of the reinforced squadron, and he is functionally at the level of Kojima, so Kojima chose to hand over the troops to Sakai's command. "Kojima-kun, you have worked hard, the Guanglian squadron is almost here, let's wait for them to come before attacking" Sakai, who knew that the opposite group of Zhina troops was not easy to deal with, chose to wait for the Guanglian squadron to act together, even if he relied on the numerical advantage, he could also take the opposite Zhina position.

Just looking at the tragic situation on the battlefield gave Kojima a preliminary understanding of the battle situation, so he agreed to Sakai's proposal. I'm just a young man from a heavy army.,In terms of tactical arrangement, it's definitely not as good as a guy like Sakai who was born in a combat army.,So Kojima chose to just come to make a decoration.,Everything is up to Sakai's arrangement.,I'm just following him and picking up some credit.。

The arrival of the Kojima squadron had long aroused the idea of snipers on the slopes, and although the distance was too far to guarantee that the bullets would kill them, it was still possible to see the situation of the Japanese troops from a distance with sniper scopes. "Sir, there is a group of Japanese troops who have arrived, probably about 300 people, it seems that there is heavy firepower such as mortars, the specific number is not clear, there should be no less than 2" The sniper on the slope used a walkie-talkie to pass on what he saw to Zhao Zhi in the trench one by one.

Since the Japanese reinforcements have arrived, why have they not made any moves after half an hour? The snipers on the slope didn't even see that the Japanese army had the intention of forming a whole team, did they want to wait until the evening and then fight at night? No, the Japanese army has suffered losses in night battles in a row, and they can't always keep fighting without remembering, it seems that the Japanese army should have other purposes. Zhao Zhi squatted in the trench and couldn't figure it out, until Yan Shijun sent someone to report that part of the supplies in the camp had been transferred, Zhao Zhi thought of why the Japanese army on the opposite side had no action, they still had reinforcements, and they were waiting for more reinforcements to come and converge.

"Uncle, the people with you quickly retreated to the camp to help carry the supplies, and the Japanese army and reinforcements are about to arrive. If we can't stop it, let's withdraw" Coaxed away Uncle Guo, Zhao Zhi asked the dog to take away half of the people in the trenches to help, and at this time, only 100 people led by Zhao Zhi and Lao Cannon were left in the trenches. There were 10 mortar squads, 50 submachine gunners, 10 snipers, 5 machine gunners, 15 riflemen, and the rest were Longhair and his sappers. There were so many people all at once, and the trenches seemed empty, so it was good, at least when retreating, not slowing down due to crowding.

Three hours later, after the camp materials were carried and Zhao Zhi and the old artillery hid in the anti-artillery hole and slept, the Guanglian squadron belatedly appeared on the battlefield. It seems that the Guanglian squadron did not go too smoothly on the way, only more than 200 troops lined up in a long column, everyone's military uniforms were soaked with sweat, especially the few soldiers carrying machine guns and ammunition boxes, their faces were even pale, and their steps were staggering, and it seemed that their situation was not very good.

"Water, give me some water" Squadron Leader Guanglian sat on the ground and shouted for water, and they rushed over the mountain to meet Sakai in order to hurry up. After marching for more than 6 hours without a break in the middle, not only the soldiers couldn't stand it, but even Guanglian, who was the squadron leader, couldn't hold it anymore. After pouring a few mouthfuls of water in one go, the exhausted Guanglian was relieved a little, and then he could take care of greeting Sakai and them.

"Guanglianjun, thank you for your hard work, the situation of the soldiers in your squadron is not very good, please watch the battle from the back first, and I will lead the team to attack once first, and see where the firepower points of the people are located. Kojima-kun, please let your artillery knock out the firepower points exposed by those Shina people" Sakai and the others Guanglian relieved his breath, got up and bowed to him and Kojima, Sakai was about to prepare to attack with his own troops in person. With the cover of mortars and machine guns from the Kojima squadron, Sakai was confident that this time he would take the positions of the people on the opposite side.

"Okay, Senior Sakai, we'll wait for your good news" Guanglian is an alumnus of Sakai Military Academy, but he is one level lower than Sakai, so he calls Sakai a senior. Fearing that Kojima's covering firepower was insufficient, Guanglian also handed over two machine guns and several grenadiers from his squadron to Kojima's squadron. After arranging his officer uniform, Sakai stood in front of the soldiers of his squadron with his polished command knife, looking at the more than 100 soldiers left in his squadron.

"The reinforcements have arrived, this is the shame of our Sakai squadron, the pursuit of such a small group of the army, in the end we still have to rely on reinforcements to provide us with fire support, this is a shame that I can never bear, so I will personally take everyone to attack together, only by taking the position of the opposite branch will we wash away the shame of our Sakai squadron, so, please take all your courage to charge with me" Sakai bent down deeply at the soldiers.

"Banzai" "Wanzai" The soldiers whose eyes were red and stimulated by Sakai's words shouted Banzai and took off their shirts, then tied their heads with a white strap with the words "Victory" written on them, and hung grenades on their bodies, preparing to charge with Sakai. The movements of the Japanese army were not small, and the snipers on Zhao Zhi's side could not see it very clearly with sniper scopes, but the madness of the Japanese soldiers was still seen by them. The 100th person was like a bare pig, and he couldn't see it there, although he didn't know what the Japanese army was, the sniper still reported the situation to Zhao Zhi.

"Get up and prepare, the Japanese army is going to work hard, cheer up Lao Tzu" Zhao Zhi took the binoculars and looked at it for a long time and didn't figure it out, what the Japanese army was going to do, but he had a hunch that the Japanese army was about to start a new round of attacks. "Snipers fire at will, riflemen fire at 100 meters, pay attention to changing the firing position, others wait for my order to fire again" Zhao Zhi pushed the machine gunners, submachine gunners and sappers into the anti-artillery hole, now is not the time for them to play, it is better to give the gunners the trench and let them change the firing position is more convenient.

When Sakai's soldiers entered within 200 meters, the remaining 10 snipers in the trench had already begun to shoot, and the empty trench made it more convenient for them to keep changing the design position, and the mortars on the island bombarded several times in a row, but they only blew up on both sides of the trench, and did not pose any threat to the snipers. "Old artillery, ask your people to measure their artillery positions, and kill them when they get the chance" Zhao Zhi ran back and forth in the shrapnel trench with his submachine gun, he was looking for a suitable place to set up the machine gun.

Zhao Zhi's snipers kept shooting, but Sakai's soldiers lowered their heads as if they were crazy, and in the blink of an eye, they rushed to a place 100 meters away from the trench and lay down in unison. "Sir, you can let the riflemen fire, the Japanese soldiers are crawling on the ground, but our 10 guns can't stop them" Biaozi, whose face was cut by a piece of shrapnel, took the opportunity to change the bullet bridge and yelled at Zhao Zhi. Sakai came up more than 100 people at once this time, and it was true that he couldn't withstand such an impact with just 10 of his snipers.

The riflemen, who had been waiting for a long time, saw Zhao Zhi's gesture, and set up their Garand on the trench and began to shoot, automatic rifles are indeed the nemesis of bolt-action rifles, and the riflemen just emptied a bullet bridge each, and they steadily suppressed the impact speed of Sakai's squadron, blocking them 80 meters away and unable to continue to advance. "Tong", "Tong", "Tong" Kojima saw that the situation was unfavorable to Sai, so he ordered the mortars and all the grenadiers to open fire for cover, and in an instant, a grenade was fired straight into Zhao Zhi's trench.

"Concealment, shelling concealment" The old cannon crawled and dragged Zhao Zhi into the anti-artillery hole next to him, and the snipers and riflemen also turned around and drilled into the anti-artillery hole, holding their heads deadly. "Boom" "Boom" The continuous explosions filled the trenches with smoke and shrapnel flying wildly. Fortunately, Zhao Zhi's trench was a serpentine trench as Roger often said, which could effectively reduce the lethality of shrapnel, but even so, Zhao Zhi lost three snipers and two riflemen. Under the concentrated bombardment of the Japanese army, only the anti-artillery holes in the trenches were safe, and as long as the dodge action was a little slower, it would suffer a catastrophe.

"Wan Zai" "Wan Zai" saw that there was no longer a trench to continue shooting, the soldiers of the Saii squadron shouted again frantically and shouted Banzai to get up and rush up, and when the sniper rifles who had slowed down and fired, they were only 60 meters away from the trench, such a distance was enough for the Japanese veterans to compete with Zhao Zhi's snipers with 38 rifles. For a while, the snipers and the Japanese veterans in Sakai's squadron were playing back and forth, but after Garand joined, the Japanese army suffered a little, after all, the 38 rifle was still a bolt-action rifle, which was not as fast as Garand's rate of fire.

"Phew" "Phew" Zhao Zhi, who drilled out of the anti-artillery hole, kept spitting out the dirt in his mouth, this Japanese army is too strong, just covering the firepower is so fierce, do they think they will be able to defeat themselves? Thinking of this, Zhao Zhi couldn't help but feel angry, "Old artillery, let your people bombard them, don't save me shells, this time half of the shells will be fired" Pointing at the Japanese troops opposite, Zhao Zhi ordered the mortars and grenadiers of the old artillery to fire immediately. If you can't take out the Japanese artillery positions in time, it's good to curb their offensive. The camp has only finished transporting supplies, and the wounded have not been transferred, so Zhao Zhi still needs to stay and delay enough time. Anyway, it's still early now, and the fireworks have to be saved until the evening to look good, so Zhao Zhi has time to play slowly with them.

The old cannon was really not a worry-free guy, guessing that Zhao Zhitian retreated before dark, he not only smashed out half of the shells, but also swept through the Sakai squadron 60 meters away with rockets. It wasn't until the area where the soldiers of the Saii squadron were lying in a mess that the old cannon took his own artillery into the anti-artillery hole. Zhao Zhi didn't say anything about Lao Pao's behavior of inviting battle, but just glared at Lao Pao a few times with threatening eyes and then finished the matter.

In fact, the old artillery used rockets to clean up the Saii squadron did not play a big role, but the crater that appeared after the rocket explosion became a good place for Japanese veterans to hide. People simply hid in the crater and shot at Zhao Zhi's gunmen, and it was difficult to distinguish the winner for a while. "Boom" "Boom" A few mortar shells fell on the open space between the trenches and the Japanese attack troops, and a few clouds of fire and smoke were raised, damn, what is this for? The Japanese army has a lot of shells and has no place to use it? Zhao Zhi used the telescope to observe the situation on the battlefield suspiciously, and after he saw the movements of the Japanese soldiers clearly, his hands trembled in shock, and the telescope was about to fall. ~ To see the first ad-free, please go to "Green"
