Chapter 263: Flying Explosives Pack
The maximum firing range of the flying thunder cannon is three hundred meters.
According to Zhang Ran's plan, he actually didn't think about directly bombarding the Japanese army with flying thunder cannons, or he didn't think that the Japanese army would actually use horse corpses to defend on the spot.
From beginning to end, Zhang Ran only guarded against the Japanese army at two points!
One is that the little devil will seize every height, seeking a breakthrough from both sides to seize the high ground on both sides of the Beihe Corridor, and the other is to rush up with the head iron and fight with the detachment!
His plan was that in case the little devils charged on both sides to occupy the high ground, he would lead the detachment and militia to take advantage of the little devils' efforts to kill and wound as much as possible, and it didn't matter how many remnants of the defeated soldiers escaped.
Half of them were killed in the pit, some were killed by mines, and some were killed by taking the opportunity to kill some, how many little devils can escape?
Not to mention that these devils are not a regular army, but a group of cavalry who have lost their horses.
Therefore, Zhang Ran is not afraid at all that if there are really little devils escaping from both sides, how big waves can be made.
And then there's the famous onboard charge of the little devils.
This is also what Zhang Ran is most worried about.
According to the nature of the little devil, once it is found that the front is not suitable for cavalry charge, and there are a large number of militia in the rear, they may jump off their horses and rush up to fight the detachment for their lives with a burst of roar!
Afraid of Zhang Ran, he is naturally not afraid.
After all, with the current strength of the detachment, it is absolutely no problem to fight head-on, regardless of the situation of artillery fire and air support.
But he didn't want the elite of the detachment to fight with such a group of disabled Japanese cavalry, so he arranged the artifact of the flying thunder cannon behind him!
His plan, in case the little devil really charged, the detachment rescued the little devil with the help of the trench for a while, and when the little devil got closer, there would be a wave of flying thunder cannon washing, so as to kill and injure the little devil's vital force as much as possible and reduce the casualties of the detachment.
But who knew that Ueno actually let the little devil defend on the spot with the help of horse corpses?
This is something that Zhang Ran never thought of at all, but it is the most beneficial to the detachment!
The only trouble is that the range of the flying thunder cannon is not enough!
Boom, boom......
Bang bang bang!
The grenadier exploded at a distance of about 200 meters, the bullets were whizzing and flying, rows of black powder were thrown out, and black smoke rose from 40 or 50 meters away......
"Baga, the pig is coming up, everyone prepare!"
Looking at the black smoke of the grenade that barely reached out and couldn't see his fingers, Ueno roared sharply, and at the same time sent a report to Okada to report the situation here!
In the past, those eight-way roads were basically this routine - a burst of gunfire with a bang, and then there were one, two, three grenades, and they got close to each other under the cover of the smoke of the grenades!
Behind the smoke, Zhang Ran and other soldiers of the detachment roared one after another, and the gunfire was loud......
"Dirt Eight Road, come on!"
When Ueno and the Japanese soldiers saw this series of familiar routines, they all looked excited and screamed, and seven or eight machine guns and hundreds of mounted guns fired wildly into the rising black smoke!
There were also gunshots in the black smoke, and all kinds of cries were all in one!
As a result, the Japanese army redoubled their excitement and strafed more ferocity......
The scene is lively like the New Year!
In the secret headquarters near Qingping, Okada Yoshino trembled with anger - he was slipped like a dog in the ice and snow by a group of non-slippery guerrillas for a full day, and it was difficult for them not to be angry.
"At most tomorrow, tomorrow we will be able to surround these pigs!"
Yoshino's teeth itched and assured, his teeth clenched loudly, and he felt that in the past two days, his teeth had been lowered by two inches!
"It's none of your business, I know you've done your best!"
Okada didn't want to be comforted, but he had to be so comforted, because he participated in the whole process of encircling this team composed of Lingjiang Cangshui guerrillas!
He was sure that this was not because he and others were incompetent, but because these two guerrillas were too familiar with the terrain - he was very suspicious that the reason why this team had escaped from the cracks of the outflanking team countless times in the past two days had all been calculated in advance, otherwise, the other party would never have had such a delicate grasp of the time to jump out!
"What I'm worried about now is not the guerrilla force in front of me at all, what I'm worried about is the situation in Song County, Lu County!"
Okada said: "Although there are not many troops in Lu County and Song County, even if these two counties are given to the Jindong detachment, it will be harmless to us - but I really can't swallow this bad breath of being fooled again and again by this damn Zhang Ran......"
Yoshino Shin said Your Excellency, Major General, why isn't this the case with I, Yoshino?
If you don't frustrate him, you won't be able to eliminate the hatred in your heart!
"The cavalry led by Ueno-kun has been invincible since the landing and only took the battlefield!"
Yoshino said: "The Jindong detachment has no cavalry, and there is no chance to compete with Ueno-kun and them, I think Ueno-kun and the cavalry team will definitely not disappoint you, Your Excellency the Major General!" β
"I hope so!"
Okada gritted his teeth and said: "As long as Ueno and they can bite the traces of the Jindong detachment, don't let them escape, why don't they immediately lead their troops to rush there, and when the time comes, they can uproot his Jindong detachment......"
"Your Excellency, the cavalry team is calling from the field!"
At this moment, the staff officer's exclamation sounded piercingly: "The cavalry team was attacked by Zhang Ran's troops in the Beihe Corridor, and as soon as Pu fought, more than half of it was lost, and the current situation is extremely critical......"
"What?"
Hearing this, Okada Yoshino and the others only jumped up anxiously: "Beihe Gorge, the terrain is flat, the cavalry is rushing like mountains and rivers, and the Jindong detachment doesn't even have cavalry, what trick did he Zhang Ran use, so that the cavalry team lost more than half of it in a fight?" β
"It should be a ......trap," the staff officer said with an ugly face.
"Trapped?"
Okada sneered: "The cavalry team is a thousand horses, how many people does his Jindong detachment have to use to dig such a huge trap pit!" β
"It's not one big pit, it's a small oneβthe one that can only fit a horse's hoof!" The staff officer replied without tears.
Hiss......
Hearing this, Okada Yoshino took a long breath, and they seemed to see the tragic scene of countless slender horse legs stepping into such a hole, and under the inertia of running at high speed, they were broken in pieces like a sugar cane......
"This damn Zhang Ran is actually as vicious as ......"
Okada gritted his teeth, and forced the cold palpitations on his back spine to say, "What about now, what is the situation on the Ueno side now?" β
"There are still more than 200 people left in the cavalry, and Ueno Shaoza ordered the surviving warriors to use the horse corpses as a cover and garrison them on the spot, hoping to use this to kill and inju......re the Jindong detachment as much as possible," the staff officer said.
"Standing put?"
Okada screamed, "Why are you standing still? Why not launch an offensive at the first time and break through as soon as possible? Hurry, send a report to Ueno, at all costs, break through immediately, you can't give that damn Zhang Ran a chance to continue to play tricks......"
North River Corridor!
The dense gunfire and all kinds of sounds have been going on for more than ten minutes!
The shouting and shouting on the opposite side were still very jubilant, and the gunfire was also extremely lively, but not a single member of the Jindong detachment rushed out of the black smoke of the grenades that kept exploding......
"Stop, stop, don't shoot yet!"
The Japanese staff officer screamed for those Japanese soldiers not to fire first, and turned back to Ueno and said: "Your Excellency Shaozuo, something is a little wrong - Zhang Ran is treacherous, I think he is delaying time now, he must have other plans, I suggest that our army must leave this place quickly, otherwise the consequences are unpredictable!" β
"I want to get out of here too, but I think you should have heard about the power of Zhang Ranbu's mines!"
Ueno, who had long felt that there was a bit of a problem, also nodded in agreement, but with an ugly face, he pointed to the peaks on both sides of the corridor that were seven or eight hundred meters away from here, gritted his teeth and said: "There is a strong enemy in front, and the chasing soldiers are chasing in the rear, but there is no defense on both sides, this Zhang Ran, it is clear that he wants to force me to move to both sides, if I don't expect, I am afraid that countless mines have been planted on both sides, waiting for us to go over - Zhang Ran, this person, is really vicious!" β
"But we can't stay here anymore anyway!"
The staff officer didn't know Ueno's worries, but now, every time he delayed here for a second longer, he was more frightened, as if there was a catastrophe, it would come at any time, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Otherwise, let's rush forward, it's better than waiting here to die!" β
There may be endless minefields on the left and right sides, and there are more than 2,000 people in the rear, and at a glance, there are only 500 people in front of them, which is the weakest point!
"No, the weakest point, never ahead!"
Ueno instead pointed to the militiamen with the largest number of people and said: "Even if we want to break through, we must break through from the rear - immediately give an order, concentrate all the intact war horses to open the way in front, and all the personnel of our army, follow the war horses, and break through from the rear......"
It's just that before the words fell, the shouts and gunshots of the Jindong detachment suddenly stopped!
The grenade that kept exploding and emitting billowing black smoke also stopped!
A small amount of black smoke was swept away, revealing a clear position, everyone could see at a glance Zhang Ran and the others looking at them with cruel faces, and at the same time, they also saw that within more than two hundred meters, most of the two dozen gasoline barrels were buried in the ground, and the sorrow of the black hole removed the opening at the top, and was pointing obliquely in the direction where they were, and there was a sizzling green smoke, from which gasoline barrels kept coming out......
"Gasoline drums?"
"What do they want to do with these dirt roads?"
Ueno and the other Japanese soldiers watched this scene, and they didn't know what Zhang Ran and the others meant.
Woowoo......
An Shi Jinzo is struggling desperately, wanting to remind Ueno and the others to let them run!
It's just the rag in his mouth, which can only make him let out a terrible whine!
With a dense burst of empty explosions, I watched as the gasoline drums erupted as if vomiting huge explosives packets in the violent tremors......
When An Jinsanyi, who was struggling fiercely, heard this empty sound, he trembled violently and then collapsed, because he knew that it was over!
Twenty or thirty explosive packs, like huge bricks, smashed fiercely on the heads of themselves and others......
