Chapter 160: Angry Kencho Okazaki
How many casualties the puppet army has, the Japanese army naturally doesn't care. Fastest update access: щщщ.79XS.сОΜ. But a squad of more than 30 people was defeated in half as soon as they 'fought', which was quite unacceptable for the Japanese army. Although there were heavy losses before, it was a 'yin' trick played by these dirt eight roads. If they face each other, they will easily destroy them like pinching a fly to death.
But now in the face-to-face battle, he still has artillery cover and has suffered such a big loss, which makes it difficult for the Japanese army from officers to soldiers to accept. For the Japanese army, who have always despised the squadron and thought that a small squadron could defeat the squadron and win a company, this result was undoubtedly a slap in their face.
The Japanese army was furious, and on the one hand, they raised a flag to Kencho Okazaki and asked for reinforcements, and on the other hand, they immediately seized the improvised trench that Li Ziyuan had abandoned. Prepare to suppress and bite this Dirt Eight Road before the reinforcements come up, and create fighters for the brigade to detour and outflank and finally destroy this Dirt Eight Road.
It was only when these Japanese puppet troops jumped into the trench dug by Li Ziyuan that was only half a person deep under the pressure of the light machine guns that constantly changed their "firing" positions in the depths, and the Tubalu "forced" who turned to the second-line position and continued to 'shoot' at the Japanese army with platoon guns, that a series of dense explosions blew up these Japanese puppet soldiers who jumped into the trenches.
They didn't expect that Li Ziyuan had also laid mines in this trench. When he was about to evacuate, he was actually under the blow of artillery fire, and he still had time to hang the mines in the trenches. At the same time, a large number of pressure mines were also buried in the trenches, so it is no wonder that the two rows of platoon guns were very scattered when they opened fire.
I didn't know that when Li Ziyuan was training in the troops, he specialized in planting mines on the battlefield, and as a 'gate', he had to be proficient in tactics, and the Japanese troops who had been specially trained suffered a great loss this time. The Japanese squad searching in the southeast, plus some puppet troops, were so messed up that there were only two or three kittens left.
And this scene all fell into the telescope of Ken Okazaki, who was watching carefully behind them at this moment. When Li Ziyuan returned to the front-line position with the retreating troops, it was like shopping, calmly replenishing the guns of the Japanese soldiers who were killed and wounded, and cleaning the battlefield with extremely skillful and fast movements, after appearing in his telescope.
In addition to the military hat on his head, Li Ziyuan's subordinates were dressed in civilian clothes all over their bodies, and there were soldiers behind them who were pouring firecracker crumbs into the foreign leather iron barrels. Kenaga Okazaki immediately understood that he had been fooled, what kind of old Eight Roads and Makqin were this, or the Eight Roads that haunted him like a ghost yesterday.
Those so-called Makqin heavy machine guns are firecrackers hanging in foreign leather iron barrels, and the relatively dull explosion sound after being ignited. These dirt roads actually use these dirt things to 'confuse' and 'confuse' themselves. Let them be their own old eight, and it can be described as extremely humiliating in front of their subordinates.
Completely 'provoked', he immediately adjusted his deployment, except for leaving a squadron of troops to protect the artillery positions and his own position. All the rest of the troops, plus all the puppet army, were all put into it to adopt the tactics of frontal attack and outflanking on both flanks. The finished product zigzag went to the hill where Li Ziyuan was located, and launched a battle of encirclement and attack.
At the same time, he concentrated the two 'doors' mountain guns in his hands, as well as all the light and heavy machine guns, to suppress the fire on the hill where Li Ziyuan was located. Although there was only one of the two 'strong' heavy machine guns he carried, among the reinforcements that came, the Japanese puppet army also carried one 'strong' heavy machine gun each. The firepower of the three 'Ting' heavy machine guns was enough to suppress those dirt roads.
Kencho Okazaki, who was so furious by Li Ziyuan's 'confused' and 'confused' methods, couldn't care about any tasks to 'intersperse' into Licheng at the moment. If he doesn't eliminate this Tubalu, which can only engage in sneak attacks, he won't be able to cleanse himself of the shame of being 'played' again and again.
Okazaki Qian's soldiers were divided into three ways to encircle him, but he happened to fall into Li Ziyuan's arms. He asked the soldiers to openly dump the firecracker crumbs in the foreign-skinned iron barrel that was originally used to "confuse" and "confuse" the Japanese army in a place where Okazaki's kencho telescope could see, just to completely "provoke" the Japanese army Zhongsa. Now that Kennaga Okazaki is out of the nest, Li Ziyuan has no scruples.
He took more than 30 soldiers who had returned to the front-line position, plus two 'Ting' light machine guns, and constantly suppressed the Japanese troops in front with firepower. A squadron commanded by Qian Defu also launched a block against the Japanese puppet army on the right flank. As for the Japanese puppet army on the left flank, Li Ziyuan left them to the artillery, well, it was the Shenwei general cannon and wooden cannon of the three 'gates' ancestors.
The front and right flanks fought unusually fiercely, while the left flank was always quiet. On the contrary, the Japanese puppet army outflanked from here was unusually cautious. But under the constant urging of Kenaga Okazaki behind him, more than 50 Japanese soldiers and 20 puppet soldiers, led by the puppet army, crashed headlong into the ambush circle set up by Li Ziyuan.
Because I suffered too much loss the day before, I was worried about what kind of 'yin' tricks these dirt eight roads were playing. The reinforcements sent by Kenaga Okazaki were mainly puppet troops on the front, and there were only more than 20 Japanese troops to supervise the battle. The forces of the two flanks were outflanked, but they were mainly Japanese troops.
Especially on the left flank, the puppet army only sent more than 20 people to mine in front and replace the dead ghosts, and the main force of the battle was mainly the Japanese army. In addition to worrying about what 'tricks' Li Ziyuan played, there is also a trace of indescribable reason for this tactic put forward by Kenaga Okazaki, which is that this guy completely does not believe in the puppet army.
What are you kidding, these so-called Hubei County garrisons have been stationed in the same county with Eighth Road for so long, and they are mainly locals. If there was no connection with each other, with the superiority of the empire's tactics, soldiers, and equipment, how could the security of Hubei deteriorate to such an extent.
An officer at the junior rank was actually removed from his post by these dirty roads. Without these people who defected to the empire just to 'mix' food and news, how could those Tubalu, whose combat strength and equipment were third-rate, develop and even grow stronger in the mountainous areas in the eastern part of Hubei?
Kenaga Okazaki, who did not trust the puppet army, put these puppet troops in front of him in order to remove the obstacles to the attack of the Japanese army behind him and create conditions for the Japanese army to attack. As for how many casualties the puppet army will have, he doesn't care at all.
Although these puppet troops came here to reinforce his troops. But this Okazaki Kencho Nakasa is not appreciative at all. For him, as long as he can completely eliminate this dirt and eight roads, it doesn't matter if these puppet troops are dead. Anyway, as long as the imperial army has an advantage in the battlefield of China, these people who are willing to serve the imperial army have it.
Therefore, when reinforcing the battlefield in the southeast, Kennaga Okazaki specially dispatched a squadron and a half of garrisons, and the main force was placed on frontal attraction firepower. As for the roundabout outflanking of the two flanks, they all sent the Japanese army as the main assault force. He tried to take advantage of the superiority of his own troops in quality and firepower to solve this maggot like a tarsal bone in one go.
The two squadrons of garrisons that were brought in by the Japanese lieutenant to reinforce him were sent to the battlefield by him. And on his side, those who remained to protect the command and artillery were more reliable Japanese soldiers. Especially in the artillery position, Kencho Okazaki even put a squad of troops to protect it.
It's just that what Kencho Okazaki didn't expect was that his opponent would find out about his hand as early as his reinforcements were dispatched. Although the troops who detoured to the left flank were very careful to take advantage of the cover of the terrain. But since his opponent has chosen to put the battlefield in this area, he will definitely have made certain preparations a long time ago.
Indeed, in order to prevent the Japanese artillery from sweeping up, the number of mines on hand was already very small. His opponent did not lay mines on his own flank. But on a circuitous route that the Japanese could outflank, his opponent set him up with another feast of what he saw as a pile of rags.
When these Japanese puppet troops rushed into the ambush circle set up by Li Ziyuan in battle formation, mainly the Japanese army in the back, and no one to deal with the puppet army in front. He Huizhang, who was personally commanding here and concealed in the camouflage position that Li Ziyuan had personally selected and constructed, immediately sent out a bird's cry as a signal.
Hearing the bird's call from He Huizhang, the soldiers who 'operated' the big poles and earthen cannons immediately lit the fuse. The three 'gates' were left in the Qing Dynasty to form a 'cross' fork of the Shenwei cannons, plus a few 'doors' improvised wooden cannons, plus more than a dozen large lifting rods, although the shots were not standard bullets.
But at such a close distance, the overwhelming iron sand and bowl stubble that were punched out in a short period of time swept almost the entire battlefield. Coupled with a 'strong' light machine gun and grenades that kept flying over, and a salvo of more than 20 rifles, the Japanese puppet army who was trying to outflank Li Ziyuan's rear from the left flank had a good drink.
And at the same time that the Shenwei General of the three 'gates' ancestors was firing, He Huizhang's 'Ting' crooked machine gun that could only be fired with a single shot was also fired at the same time. It's just that He Huizhang may be a big man playing with grenadiers and mortars, but the crooked machine gun is still very new to him.
Although he has been working hard to aim and 'shoot', and the recoil of the crooked sub-machine gun itself is also small, and the 'precision' is quite high. But after more than a dozen bullets were fired by him, his results were still quite limited, and there were basically few targets hit by him. He Huizhang, who had a somewhat unbearable old face, threw the crooked handle in his hand to the soldiers next to him, and he still took out the grenadier himself.
It's just that at this time, the Japanese puppet army, which was outflanked from the left flank, was basically no longer available to him under the rain of iron sand that swept almost the entire battlefield, and the 'strong' light machine gun 'fire' on the flank. Although these guns are all ancestoral, both in terms of range and power, they are far from being comparable to modern artillery.
Those older ones, which can only be used to fight rabbits and pheasants, have a lethality that is far from comparable to that of modern rifles. But in a short period of time, the large amount of iron sand shot by so many old weapons is also quite amazing at close range.
Under the limited explosive power of the black fire 'medicine', these things like iron sand and bowl stubble can also kill. These dense iron sands swept across the battlefield, and their lethality in a relatively narrow space was just as amazing. When a round of 'shooting' is over. There are basically no two Japanese puppet troops who can still stand on the battlefield.
Of course, due to the power of these weapons, only half of the people were killed on the spot. But the other Japanese puppet soldiers were like falling into a group of hedgehogs, and they were beaten with holes all over their bodies. These Japanese puppet soldiers who couldn't die for a while but couldn't stand up and fight back were obviously more guilty than those who were directly killed.
