Chapter 589: Tearing to Shreds

A glimmer of day, an ambush position. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Xu Ye ran back from the forward observation post like a gust of wind, and reported to He Guangming out of breath: "Battalion commander, the forward troops of the little devils have entered the front line, and they are not far from us. ā€

He Guangming suddenly perked up when he heard this, and said hesitantly: "Is the little devil finally here?" ā€

Xu Rui sat up from the stretcher and asked Xu Ye, "How many people are in the forward force of the little devils?" ā€

"There must be forty or fifty people." Xu Ye gasped and replied, "It's almost an infantry squad. ā€

"There is an infantry squad in the forward force, and there is also a brigade of little devils in the back, so to speak, the devils outside Shaqiaogang should all come." Xu Rui snorted and instructed He Guangming, "Old He, immediately let the communication team turn on and tell the wolf tooth squadron that now they can attack boldly with confidence." ā€

"Okay." He Guangming nodded, and then instructed Xu Ye, "Dog, go and tell Captain Dongmei that their communications squad no longer needs to keep the radio silent, and immediately contact the Wolf Tooth Squadron and tell them that they can attack." ā€

"Yes." Xu Ye agreed, bent over with the gun on his back, and hurried to the back.

After waiting for a long time, He Guangming looked into the valley and saw a team of devils striding in.

These devils are extremely vigilant, and every time they go forward, they will use machine guns to shoot indiscriminately on the mountains and cliffs on both sides of the canyon, this is in the fire reconnaissance, and the inexperienced troops, as soon as they see the devils shooting, they may not be able to hold their breath, so they will shoot with them, so that the devils' purpose will be achieved.

It's a pity that He Guangming's first battalion is an iron-clad army that has been tested by war for a long time, and this little trick is of course impossible to deceive them, but for the sake of safety, He Guangming still asked Xu Ye to quickly notify all companies and platoons that no one is allowed to shoot without his order, otherwise military law will be involved.

He Guangming's order was quickly conveyed.

As a result, no matter how the little devil's forward team reconnoitred, there was silence on both sides of the canyon.

After a few bullets, the devil's forward team marched forward again, and soon, the devil's forward team drove out of the front from the front.

Not long after the devil's forward team drove out of the first line, the devil's large army appeared.

He Guangming raised the telescope and searched in the devil's team, and suddenly, two tall Oriental horses appeared in the telescope's field of vision, and on the back of these two Oriental horses, the two officers who were riding the devil proudly, He Guangming carefully distinguished, but still couldn't tell what military rank.

At that moment, He Guangming said to Xu Rui: "Regiment commander, when I found two ghost officers on horseback, I don't know what rank they are. ā€

"A ghost officer on horseback?" Xu Rui said in a deep voice, "Little Japan has a well-developed horse administration, and there are a lot of military horses in its country, but according to the practice of the Japanese army, only officers at the rank of adjutant officer or above are qualified to ride horses, which means that these two devil officers are at least at the level of Shaozo, so the problem comes." ā€

He Guangming asked: "Commander, what's the problem?" ā€

Xu Rui said: "According to the practice of the Japanese army, the captain is generally Shaozuo, and this time the little devil who came to the front line of the sky has only one infantry brigade, which means that only one devil should be qualified to ride a horse, but now you see two devil officers on horseback, what does this mean?" ā€

He Guangming said: "It means that there are two captains in this devil brigade? A vice? ā€

Xu Rui said: "The little devil's brigade usually has a brigade deputy, but the military rank is usually one level lower than the captain, and the highest is the captain level, so it is said that he is not qualified to ride a horse." ā€

He Guangming said: "Then what's the matter with these two devils? ā€

Xu Rui said: "If I'm not mistaken, except for one of these two devils, one is the captain of the devil, and the other is probably the little devil of Higashikure." ā€

"What do you say?" He Guangming suddenly perked up, "Dongjiu Twist Hiko?!" ā€

"Mostly." Xu Rui said in a cruel voice, "Lao He, this opportunity is rare, strive to catch it alive!" ā€

"Understood." He Guangming rolled up his sleeves and said with a cruel smile, "Don't worry, the head of the regiment, he will definitely catch it alive!" ā€

"That's not right!" Xu Rui frowned, and suddenly said, "No, no, it's not like this." ā€

He Guangming was stunned for a moment, then turned around and asked, "Commander, what's wrong, what's wrong?" ā€

Xu Rui said: "You look at the front and back of these two little devil officers, and see if the devils who are following them are different from other devil soldiers, such as equipment or something?" As a prince, Higashikure Tsuruhiko is the same as Fushimi Palace, there should be his guards, and the equipment of the devil's guards is good, an American-made submachine gun. ā€

He Guangming held the telescope and looked at it for a long time, frowned and said, "No, it's all the same 38 big cover." ā€

"Didn't you?" Xu Rui sighed, shook his head and said, "It seems that the little devil of Dongjiu Twist did not come, and the devil of the other cavalry is probably the chief of staff of the devil's second army." ā€

"Didn't come?" He Guangming was disappointed when he heard this, "No, then we won't run in vain?" ā€

Xu Rui smiled and said in a cruel voice: "Don't worry, Dongjiu Eryan, this little devil can't escape, and Gangzi's cavalry battalion will be waiting for them in Pucheng." ā€

He Guangming slammed the ground in front of him heavily, looking annoyed.

For Xu Rui, in the end, it was the cavalry battalion that caught Dongjiu Er Twist Yan, or the first battalion that killed the prince of the devil, the result made no difference, but for He Guangming and the officers and soldiers of the first battalion, the difference was big, if in the end it was the cavalry battalion that caught Dong Jiu Er Twist Yan, then this great achievement was the cavalry battalion's, and it had nothing to do with them.

After thinking about it, He Guangming was still a little unwilling, and said in a deep voice: "No, I have to take the guard platoon to the front to take a look, maybe the little devil Higashikuru is hiding in front of the valley, but he doesn't dare to enter the valley because he is afraid of death." After saying that, he said to Uncle Xiao, the instructor of the first battalion, "Old Xiao, I'll leave it to you here." ā€

At that moment, He Guangming lit up the guard platoon and cut straight into the direction of the entrance of the first line of heaven from the path.

At this time, the devil's large army had completely entered the front line, and Uncle Xiao, the instructor of the first battalion under the acting command, immediately raised the mirror box and fired a shot at the canyon, and then ordered: "Fight!" ā€

Suddenly, a battalion of officers and men lying in ambush on both sides of the canyon opened fire.

The devil soldiers who were passing under the cliff were caught off guard, and they became a mess in an instant.

However, after all, Kato's brigade was still the elite of the 10th Division, and after a few minutes of chaos, it quickly calmed down and began to rely on the terrain on both sides of the canyon to carry out a counterattack.

More than a thousand grenades or grenades exploded intensively in the narrow canyon, and the whistling and splashing fragments caused heavy casualties to the devils who had nowhere to hide.

It's a classic ambush battle.

Although the devils occupy an absolute superiority in strength, the Kato brigade has more than 1,200 people, while He Guangming's battalion has only more than 500 people, which is not even half of the devil's strength, but under the first wave of firepower, nearly half of the Kato brigade was killed, and most of the remaining devils were injured.

Before launching the final charge, the first battalion threw two more rows of grenade grenades.

After the dense explosion, the remaining half of the devils were blown up by more than half.

Therefore, when the officers and men of the first battalion rushed down the hillside with bayonets and slaughtered into the canyon, there were less than 300 devils left who could still get up to meet them, and what was even worse was that the last remaining 300 devils were already frustrated.

In another time and space, there was an American veteran who participated in the Pacific War and the Korean War to evaluate the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army and the Chinese People's Volunteer Army, and the veteran said that although the Japanese army in the Pacific theater was fierce, it was only brainless fierce, and to a large extent, it was only hysteria before death, and in actual combat, American soldiers could easily kill these Japanese soldiers who were close to mental breakdown.

However, the Chinese People's Volunteers are not.

The fierceness shown by the Chinese People's Volunteers is by no means under the Japanese army, and the more terrible thing about the Chinese People's Volunteers than the Japanese army is that they are not only fierce, but also full of love for life, so in actual combat, the Chinese People's Volunteer Army soldiers will never charge as desperately as the Japanese army, they will always fiercely charge at the same time, try to protect themselves as much as possible, which makes it difficult for American soldiers to kill them.

That American veteran once lamented: In the face of the charge of the Chinese People's Volunteers, sometimes, they beat the barrel of the Browning air-cooled machine gun to the point that it was scrapped because of overheating, and they may not be able to kill a target, and those who think that the Chinese People's Volunteers will only have crowd tactics and will only rely on more to win, is simply the biggest lie.

To get back to the point, at this time, the devils who were stubbornly resisting in the corner of the sky were basically no different from the devils in the Pacific Theater, and they were already on the verge of mental breakdown, although they launched a fierce white-edged battle against the officers and soldiers of the first battalion of the Independent Regiment, but in fact, this seemingly fierce white-knuckle battle was just to send them to death.

In less than five or six minutes, including the forward squad that returned to support after hearing the gunshots, more than 1,200 devils of Kato's brigade had all fallen in a pool of blood, and this was war.

More than 2,000 years ago, the grandson of the soldier saint said that the soldier is treacherous, at the wrong time, in the wrong place, no matter how powerful the lion is, it will become a sheep, and it will be easily torn to pieces.
