Chapter 90: Waiting for the Guests to Serve the Food (Asking for Push and Return)
The 1st Brigade of the Japanese Army's Baggage Wing, which had been ordered to attack overnight, rushed along the highway in more than a dozen cars to the combat site designated by the wing commander earlier. Just as they were about to arrive, the marching First Brigade heard an explosion in the distance.
The sudden explosion made the first brigade instantly enter a state of alert combat. Just because he couldn't see the enemy, he knew that the place where the explosion was coming from at this moment should be the railway line located in the mountain range.
Thinking of the second brigade that searched along the railway overnight, the commander of the first brigade that drove from the road, also seemed a little worried in his heart. After ordering the troops to halt their advance, they tried to contact the 2nd Brigade by radio.
It turned out that the communications corps, who was carrying the radio on his back, happened to carry the radio through the railway blast zone. After the radio station was re-established, he learned that the captain of the wing was safe and sound, and the captain of the Japanese army of the first brigade also seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
Knowing that the 2nd Brigade had been ambushed on the railway line, the captain of the 1st Brigade also quickly received instructions from the Wing Commander Hirocho Mizuno. Let it send troops, block the surrounding roads, and check all suspicious people and vehicles.
Just about to give the order to disperse the troops and carry out the operational instructions of the wing commander. The captain saw a shocking scene that made his face change greatly. The vanguard and the vehicles were attacked by roadside bombs.
Looking at the yellow smoke rising from the explosion site, the captain screamed in horror: "It's a special bomb!" Quick, order all troops to retreat! Soldiers with gas masks should wear gas masks immediately. Fast! Retreat! ”
Through radio contact with the Wing Commander, the Group Leader had discovered that the two Brigades were relatively close to each other. It's just that one is on the road and the other is on the railroad, with a mountain in between.
Originally, it was planned to let the troops go over and find a mountain road to join the second brigade. Unexpectedly, their brigade was also ambushed by the attackers. Seeing the yellow smoke rising from the site of the explosion, the group leader also knew what caused it.
Under such circumstances, he did not dare to send troops to rescue the officers and soldiers in the explosion area. The only thing that can be done is to let the subordinates who escaped the disaster stay away from the yellow smoke spread area as soon as possible and wear the gas masks they carried.
Hu Biao, who was staying on the hillside near the explosion area, saw the little devil who had not yet entered the explosion area, and began to retreat frantically, and said with a little regret: "Sandao, let's also prepare to withdraw!" ”
"Captain, there are a lot of weapons and ammunition for little devils on the road, don't we want them too?"
"Pick it up! Wait until you get to the mountain pass to ambush you, then retreat to the second ambush circle. This is an explosion, and I believe that the little devils on the other side of the railway will also be very anxious. When the time comes, they should send troops out to inspect the situation. ”
"What's going on? Are we going to deal with these little devils, or are we going to deal with the little devils on the other side of the railway? ”
"Let's go to the mountain pass and see what is going on! If there are many little devils who come out, we will fight and retreat at the same time, and lead the little devils to the second ambush circle. If there are few little devils, we will strive to wipe out all those little devils in the shortest possible time. ”
"Got it!"
After listening to Hu Biao's combat instructions, Qin Tianyou, who had already finished the battle, waited for the day, wore a gas mask and came to the periphery of the explosion zone, picked up the weapons and ammunition of those little devils who died in battle, threw them into the ditch next to them to wash them, and then quickly retreated on his back.
From the railway to the road, there is a mountain road that is not very smooth. Hu Biao, who retreated to the intersection, hid directly in the hidden trench at the intersection. In the trenches, you can also observe the movement of Japanese troops on the road through binoculars.
At the same time, you can also find out in advance the situation of the little devils who may come from the railway. Taking advantage of this time, Hu Biao asked Chen Qiang to lead a platoon of soldiers to bury the captured weapons and ammunition in the pit dug earlier.
When Hu Biao finishes the battle and leaves, someone will dig up the captured weapons and ammunition and transport them away. Although the power of Hanyang is also good, many officers and soldiers in the anti-Japanese war troops of the national army are more fond of the weapons of the little devils.
Perhaps in the eyes of these fighters, it is also an honor to be able to use the weapons of the little devils. But for Hu Biao, the next time he trades with the military commander, he will buy a batch of Chinese formal rifles or German-made Mauser 98K rifles from the military commander.
The performance of these two rifles is also excellent, but the power is stronger than the little devil's three-eight big cover. Especially the latter, if he can get a batch of multiplier scopes, Hu Biao can also modify a batch of sniper rifles.
The importance of weapons to the troops is self-evident, especially for Hu Biao, who is behind enemy lines, he really needs a batch of sniper rifles with excellent performance. If the guard platoon is equipped with multiple snipers, it is more certain to deal with the little devils.
While Hu Biao waited for the Japanese army to appear again, Mizuno Hirocho, who was on the railway line, also heard the sound of explosions coming from this side of the road. Looking at the billowing smoke rising into the air, Mizuno Hirocho couldn't help but grit his teeth again.
Staring at the yellow smoke in the thick smoke, the wing captain said with a somewhat distorted expression: "Baga! Those damned attackers, they detonated special shells again. With such brutality, aren't they afraid of the consequences of accidentally injuring civilians? ”
Listening to what Mizuno said, the captain of the infantry group standing next to him wanted to say, 'There are no civilians nearby', but he finally swallowed it and said, "Captain, this should be where the first brigade is located, right?" ”
"It should be! Draw a squad and find your way to the highway in no time. Strive to join up with the 1st Brigade and then launch a search. In addition to recovering the supplies on the military column, I will wipe out all these attackers. ”
Although the idea is good, it is somewhat a fool's dream. After the previous explosion, as well as the explosion that sounded at this moment, this young captain already felt that the attacker was very difficult to deal with. The existence of special ammunition is always a time bomb.
If, in the course of the battle, the attacker again uses special ammunition, what will happen to the pursuing troops? The gas masks carried by the 2nd Brigade were only enough to supply one squadron. The remaining troops can only carry out improvised protection.
Once the troops are contaminated with mustard poison on a large scale, then the outcome of the second brigade will not be better than that of the third brigade, which has been completely wiped out. Other injuries can be cured, but there is no cure for this mustard gas.
At this time, near the derailed military column, the avant-garde unit of the little devils finally appeared. Looking at the military column that overturned on the flat area, the little devil in charge of the search finally couldn't help but say: "Quick, look, the military column is ahead!" ”
Compared with the excitement of the soldiers, the team leader said very cautiously: "Distance yourself and advance in battle formation." Send someone else to quickly inform the wing commander of the news. Let's go over there and see what the situation is like over there! ”
"Hey!"
The forward team quickly fanned forward, and finally approached the rear of the column safely. Looking at the mostly empty carriages, many little devils feel that something is wrong. It is very likely that the materials transported by the military train were diverted.
Along the overturned military train carriage, the little devil continued to search. When the little devil found out that there was a padlock carriage in this military train, the team leader who led the team said directly: "Go, open this section of the carriage and see what is inside!" ”
As the two little devils stepped forward, one left and one right, they began to pull the car door hard. The little devil who was just about to step into the carriage saw two grenades hanging on both sides of the carriage, smoking.
Seeing this scene, the little devil said with a shocked face: "Baga! There are grenades! ”
Before he could finish speaking, two grenades exploded. There was a bang, and the little devil who stayed near the carriage door was naturally blown up. The rest of the little devils were reflexive, and immediately staggered and fell down.
The little devil who entered the carriage was unfortunately blown into a hornet's nest. The little devil who stayed outside the carriage was lucky to escape. What really makes the captain of the devil squad happy is that the shells piled up in this carriage have not been detonated.
Looking at the heavy artillery shells that were still piled up inside, a lot of them, the team leader said with a happy face: "Baga! Fortunately! Fortunately! If we detonate these shells, we're really done. Be careful not to mess with what's inside. ”
Listening to the explosion from the side of the military column, Hu Minyi, who was lying in the single soldier trench, also said with a wicked smile: "That's a pre-dinner dish, a real big dish, wait for the guests to come together before serving!" ”
Only one squad of devils entered the explosion trap area, and Hu Minyi was naturally unwilling to detonate the shells that had been buried in advance. In Hu Minyi's opinion, there are still a large number of little devils who have not come, so continue to wait.
Hiding in the lone trenches, it is unlikely that they will be discovered by the little devils. As long as he waits patiently, Hu Minyi believes that there will be great gains. He knew very well that once those shells were detonated, the little devils who entered here would not end well.
Anyway, there is Hu Biao watching on the other side of the highway, and Hu Minyi doesn't have to worry about anything. If even Hu Biao can't solve the trouble, even if they rush over, I'm afraid they won't be able to help. After a few days of fighting, Hu Biao's command ability has already convinced everyone!
