1081. Ambush Ganshu Ridge
Such terrain is very suitable for ambush warfare, but the three battalions lack troops, and they did not expect that the Japanese brigade headquarters would withdraw from the attack position of Mantou Mountain so quickly.
Now, after the ninth company and one platoon, the Japanese army has been delayed for a while, and the seventh company, which has climbed the mountain by taking a shortcut, has now crossed the Ganshu ridge and arrived at the ridge mouth.
The commander of the 7th Company heard the dense Czech-style machine gun sound in the middle of Ganshu Ridge, and immediately knew that the Japanese army had been bitten by the 9th Company, and this big fish was still in the ridge, and now he had to block this ridge mouth immediately in order to catch this big fish.
Xiucai did not simply set up obstacles at the mouth of the ridge, in addition to setting up a few blocking positions, he also set up ambushes on the mountains on both sides, and the position of this ambush was as far as possible.
Since the commander of the ninth company, Tie Nong, has never suffered such a big loss since he took this company into the battle, and a platoon is gone in an instant, what a pain.
Tienon didn't say anything, just took the lead himself, and then rushed behind the Japanese army, with two and three platoons, biting the Japanese infantry squadron to the death.
The Japanese army originally wanted to make a counter-charge and defeat the pursuing soldiers in the **, but now they don't dare to fight, this is always a counter-charge, although it will succeed, but it is getting farther and farther away from Fengxincheng, and they themselves will become more and more dangerous.
Therefore, the Japanese army only arranged an infantry squad to deal with the pursuit of the ninth company, and under the premise that the Japanese army was prepared and prepared, it was difficult for the Chinese army to eat them.
The Ninth Company is now completely relying on a breath to entangle the Japanese army, and everyone wants to avenge the brothers in a row, but they just can't gnaw at the Japanese army, the army behind the palace.
The two sides fought and chased each other like this, and the Japanese army fought and retreated, but they couldn't help each other, and the commander of the ninth company has calmed down now, and it was his improper command just now, which led to a row of fierce attacks before it was quickly eaten by the Japanese army.
Now the Ninth Company can't repeat the same mistakes, and it is necessary to remember the words of the battalion commander, as long as it bites most of the Japanese army, not how much it is in a hurry to eat.
The captain of the Japanese army, Harada, now knows that the pursuers of the ** are just like this, but they can't help them, and they don't want to go back to trouble and delay time, so they simply let the tail drag, don't stop, and continue to rush to Fengxincheng.
As long as you get to Fengxincheng, this nasty tail can be eaten all at once, but it is also expected that Zhong ** will not be so stupid, and will follow him to the base camp of the Japanese army.
Now that both sides have their own place, they pull each other forward together, but they don't go so fast, but after losing artillery units and transport units, the Japanese brigade headquarters and infantry squadrons are more relaxed, without burden, and quickly get up.
The Ninth Company only left a squad of people to clean the battlefield and guard the two infantry guns, these two guns are baby bumps, although the Ninth Company and even the third battalion can not be left, but they can be handed over to the real artillery battalion.
Even if this is a great contribution made by the Ninth Company and the Third Battalion, they can also receive a huge bonus of 20,000 yuan, and the troops have been notified that they can be rewarded with 10,000 yuan for capturing a complete cannon.
Compared with the bonus of tens of hundreds of dollars for capturing a few devils alive, the money for this cannon is very large, even if it is said above that this is only an infantry gun, it may be discounted, then there must be thousands of one cannons.
Therefore, these two cannons are the small treasury of the ninth company or even the third battalion, and it is necessary to leave a squad of men to guard them, firstly, to prevent the enemy from coming back to grab the artillery or destroy it, and secondly, to prevent the brother troops outside the third battalion from snatching it.
I used to hear that when Luo Zhicheng was in the Seventh Company, someone even had a few mortars to snatch, after all, these weapons were too tempting for the squadron, and everyone wanted them.
Now the Ninth Company dragged the Japanese Brigade Headquarters and gave the Seventh Company time to set up an ambush position, and the Seventh Company left a row of several layers at the ridge mouth to block the attack, and the first and second platoons were on the hills on both sides and secretly ambushed.
At the same time, the Eighth Company also rushed over, and the troops in front had already reached the middle and rear positions of Ganshulong, and even made contact with the Seventh Company, and quietly ambushed them, also waiting for the arrival of the main force.
The ambush battle was first fought by the Eighth Company, and by the time the main force of the Eighth Company arrived at the predetermined position, most of the Japanese army's forward troops were about to pass through the ambush area.
A few hundred meters behind, the Ninth Company was still dragging the troops behind the Devil's Palace, no matter how the enemy countercharged or alternately covered the retreat, the Ninth Company was like a piece of kraft candy, sticking to it.
At this time, the 8th Company took the lead in launching an ambush, and almost all the squad machine guns suddenly opened fire on the hills on both sides of the middle and rear sections of Ganshu Ridge.
** The Czech-style squad machine gun and the Soviet-style turntable light machine gun fired together, and the bullets really rained down like raindrops, intensively firing at the front of the Japanese army.
A squad of several dozen people in the front of the Japanese army was dealt a devastating blow at once, and more than 20 people were swept down at once.
The rest of the devils immediately lay on the ground and went into the ditch on the side of the road, even if they escaped this catastrophe, but they were also pressed in the ditch and did not dare to raise their heads.
The captain Harada in the back has the heart to die at the moment, and understands that this time it is estimated that he has fallen into the trap of the ** army.
But at this moment, he didn't hesitate, for the sake of his own life, he immediately began to organize a counterattack force, and if he wanted to survive, he must first pass through this mountain ridge quickly.
If you want to quickly pass through this mountain ridge, the only way is to defeat the ambush of the middle **, at least to suppress the opponent's firepower, so Harada reacted quickly and sent two troops to quickly climb up the mountains on both sides and seize the high ground.
Harada finally made a correct choice and command, and in the face of this complex and terrifying ambush scene, he was able to calm down and immediately command the troops to react and counterattack, which really showed the talent that a team leader should have.
It's just that he was born at the wrong time and ran into Luo Zhicheng's third battalion, and now Luo Zhicheng also rushed over with the mortar platoon of the battalion headquarters and the machine gun company.
Think differently, what should you do if your troops are ambushed by the enemy? There is no other way, there is only one way in Huashan, which is to quickly seize the high ground, use the high ground to suppress the opponent's firepower, and then rush out.
Thinking of this, Luo Zhicheng immediately ordered the mortar platoon to seize the highest point in the Ganshulong area, and at the same time let the Eighth Company divide a platoon to guard the safety of the mortars.
Just when the Japanese army began to seize the high ground, it was suddenly attacked by cross-attacks from both sides, and the devils who were climbing the mountain were unable to prevent it, and a large area was swept down.
All kinds of feasts in front of you have been served, and now it's time for a finale of hard dishes, and with Luo Zhicheng's order, the four mortars of the mortar platoon immediately fired mortar shells condescendingly.
At this time, there was no time and no need to carry out test firing and correction, as long as the shells were fired into the formation of the Japanese army, regardless of whether the Japanese army was hiding and hiding.
In fact, there are not many places to hide on the valley path of Ganshulong, and with the curving shells fired by mortars, there are almost no dead ends.
