Chapter 403: Shifting Positions
After all, Takeda Masayuki was an officer with rich combat experience, and although he was startled by the tragic scene ahead, he quickly recovered from the shock.
He jumped out of the car and shouted left and right, and now the troops in front were ambushed, and the enemy fire was stronger than in any previous battle, and a whole squadron of more troops was caught in the fire.
It is no longer possible for them to get out on their own.
Takeda had all the infantry riding in the rear get off and prepare for battle, and in order to reduce losses, the troops in front must be rescued.
More importantly, it is necessary to hurry up and open the way, the Chinese army will not be so simple as just trying to ambush him.
Takeda ordered the nearest troops to lay down their baggage and prepare to relieve the siege, but the formation of his large marching group was itself very long, and the distance between squadrons and squadrons, squads and squads, and even detachments and detachments was very small, and it was not easy to assemble.
"Assemble! Drop something!"
"Prepare for battle!"
The Japanese troops in the rear, who had not been attacked, were affected by the front and were also confused, and they were ordered to abandon their work one after another.
It took Takeda ten minutes to assemble his troops.
A squadron of Japanese troops, recuperating on the road, panting, stood by cars and mules and horses.
Takeda decided to personally lead the team to clear the siege, and the sound of guns and cannons in the front melee gradually decreased, which was not a good thing for him, and he raised his binoculars and became less and less of his own men in the melee zone.
More often than not, corpses scattered around.
However, of course, Takeda will not attack directly in a stupid manner, but will observe first.
Based on the circumstances of the attack, he first judged that this group of Chinese troops was the main force, otherwise there would not be such strong firepower, automatic firearms and explosive firepower are readily available, and there would not be an ambush method like suddenly coming out of the ground.
Takeda is thinking about how to fight him, and how to probe the situation of the Chinese army.
"Boom" -- A 82 mortar shell landed on the road in front of the Japanese Teaching Brigade, and the 82 mortar shell equipped with charge zero exploded on the ground, blowing up two Japanese soldiers who were relying on the corpses of their comrades to resist stubbornly.
Under the ambush of the teaching brigade, the Japanese troops in the front line almost completely collapsed.
Thanks to the firepower of the teaching brigade, the concealment was done well, and the coordination of light and heavy machine guns and curved firearms blocked almost all the retreats of the Japanese troops.
The teaching brigade had rifles, light machine guns, and heavy machine guns for flat fire, and grenades, grenades, and 82 mortars for curved explosive weapons, plus explosives planted by the engineers, forming an all-round fire network at close range, and taking advantage of the surprise attacks at close range.
The sound of gunfire gradually extinguished, Zhang Wei and some officers and soldiers of the teaching brigade slowly raised their heads, and in the ambush fire area in front of them, corpses, dead horses, and blown up guns.
Most of the Japanese living forces within the range of ambush fire were knocked out.
The stumps of the Japanese soldiers were everywhere, there were also the corpses of Japanese soldiers who tried to break through and were killed on both sides of the road, and the engineer platoon laid black hands on the side of the road and buried explosives.
The 38 big cover and the crooked light machine gun in the hands of the Japanese soldiers, and the marching backpacks of the Japanese soldiers, were stained with blood and thrown on the ground indiscriminately.
The four Type 94 cars that were blown up were all torn and deformed with bullet holes from 79 bullets, mixed with the corpses and blood of the Japanese soldiers on the cars.
Some of the Japanese soldiers who did not die fell to the ground and let out a wail.
Zhang Wei roughly estimated that in this round of ambushes, the Japanese army suffered casualties of at least half of the squadron, and the number of killed was more than sixty or seventy, and the number of wounded was not less.
There were also a number of Japanese troops who escaped, mainly concentrated in the middle and rear of the ambush fire area, and this part of the Japanese army did not bear much firepower, and it was easy to escape.
In this round of ambushes, the Japanese marching team was blocked, the front of the marching column suffered heavy losses, the troops at the front were completely annihilated, and even the road was blocked.
And the casualties of the teaching brigade are almost negligible compared to the heavy losses of the Japanese army.
"Everyone, get into position!"
The ambush is basically over, it's time to act, Zhang Wei knows that the little devil is not stupid, and he dares to fight back when he says to fight back.
This vote has been won, and it is necessary to best prepare for the next counterattack.
Zhang Wei jumped out of the field and rushed out, the soldiers followed closely, and suddenly, hundreds of officers and soldiers of the teaching brigade came out of the ambush position and rushed to the fortifications dug in advance.
Zhang Wei and the brigade headquarters, the first squadron, stationed in the village, Zheng Yiqun's third squadron, held the preset fortifications on the left flank of the road next to the village, and Mu Chao's second squadron alone held the preset fortifications on the right side of the road.
The officers and squad leaders of the teaching brigade shouted one after another, and in the battle just now, many recruits patronized and shot guns, and now they have to move their positions and complete the transfer from ambush to blockade.
These students who have never been on the battlefield will be somewhat uncomfortable.
"Rush in, don't rub it in!"
"Classes on the ground!"
Hundreds of people stepped over the ambush positions just now, stepped over straw and fields, and rushed to the preset positions.
"Fast into the village!" Qiu Weiwei shouted, and the first squadron and the brigade headquarters led by Zhang Wei entered the village.
In accordance with Zhang Wei's order before the war, each unit entered its own combat position.
The first squadron and the engineer platoon, the baggage platoon are all assigned to the village, the first squadron is the main garrison force, the engineer platoon is the reserve team controlled by Zhang Wei, and the baggage platoon is used for the last life.
The soldiers who rushed into the village entered the houses and opened the firing ports on the walls, and the village had already dug communication trenches and fortifications to cooperate with the houses for defense.
The communication trenches, the firing positions and ammunition stations prepared for the 82 mortars, the spare foxholes, and the houses with the walls opened are all available, all of which were urgently prepared before the war.
In the blocking battle, Zhang Wei's plan was to cooperate with the village and the outside positions, and the village was to cooperate with the houses and trenches to construct a blocking system.
The direction of the fire of the whole brigade changed from a flanking highway to a direct direction of the highway.
Zhang Wei's brigade headquarters is still a house in the village, but it has been strengthened in advance, sandbags have been added inside and outside the house, and the beams of the house have been reinforced with wood to increase the support strength.
Zhang Wei looked out through the observation opening in the room of the command post, and the soldiers of Zheng Yiqun's 3rd Squadron next to the village had already entered the preset position outside the village, and there was a communication trench in the village.
Mu Chao's second squadron was the same on the right side of the road, entering the position, the whole squadron lined up, and the position also had heavy machine gun positions and communication trenches dug in advance, facing the open field in front of the preset position.
"Bang Bang"
During the process of entering the position, there were several muffled shots of Zhongzheng rifles, and the soldiers of the teaching brigade killed the wounded soldiers of the Japanese army who were not killed.
The war was cruel, and no one on the battlefield listened to the wails of the wounded soldiers of the Japanese army on the road, so they were simply solved with one person and one shot.
Zhang Wei was in command of the overall situation in the command post, and the second and third squadrons had all entered the position and completed their combat preparations.
Qiu Wei also soon came to the command post and reported to Zhang Wei that the deployment in the village had been completely done.
After his own preparations for the battle were completed, what Zhang Wei was waiting for was the Japanese army's attack, and a brigade-level unit of the Japanese army would definitely counterattack after being attacked, and the rest of the battle would be a vicious battle.
