Chapter 154: The Purgatory of the Okazaki Detachment (2)
Just after bypassing the trap, before they could breathe a sigh of relief. A sharp soldier near the left flank let out another scream, and a trap used to clamp the beast bit his little 'leg'. And when the beast clamp was closed, a grenade that exploded in the air caused the other Japanese soldiers behind him to fall.
Compared with a group of unlucky people on the left who died miserably, the team on the right enjoyed a much better treatment. Just as they had 'touched' the ridge, a dense burst of gunfire rang out on the flanks directly ahead, plus a rain of grenades that had chopped their heads and faces.
Two light machine guns, a dozen grenades, and an accurate platoon gun for a while, directly knocked down two-thirds of the infantry squad that was only paying attention to the soles of their feet and cautiously climbing up the mountain. Although they also achieved a certain amount of precautions, the distance of dozens of meters caught these Japanese troops a little unprepared. No one thought that these dirt roads would actually lie in ambush under their noses.
When the rest of the Japanese army reacted and wanted to fight back. The grenades fired by the two grenadiers landed exactly among them. Japanese soldiers who were bombed 'chickens' and flying dogs jumped. I could only watch as a group of dirt and eight roads were picked out from in front of him and quickly evacuated to the back mountain.
The spearheads sent by the two wings were killed and wounded, and the Japanese brigade under the mountain was also uncomfortable. The sappers who were transferred by Kenaga Okazaki to the front to open the way basically did not detect anything on the main road. On both sides of the road, there were traps around the fake minefield, and although one was not killed, it was basically blown up into a pile of cripples with missing arms and legs.
What did Li Ziyuan do, he was a super scholar in his previous life. And the burden of the courses that Chinese students learned in their previous lives is definitely super in the world. Based on his understanding of the tactics of the Japanese army, as well as the distance and speed of the Japanese army's marches, Li Ziyuan, who was at the level of a scholar, painstakingly set these traps and minefields for them, was it so easy to destroy?
This is what he made according to the terrain and after careful calculations. From the layout of minefields to the distribution of real and false minefields, Li Ziyuan used a lot of science knowledge in his previous life. These things had long been formed on paper, and when the action was launched, Li Ziyuan had come strictly according to the plan.
And for a student who rushed out of the Olympiad in mathematics, advanced mathematics, and a series of other perverted subjects in science and engineering in his previous life, it is not more difficult to calculate under what conditions one plus one equals three, and it is no more difficult than picking up a cabbage from the side of the road. In particular, the Japanese army is still the kind of army that implements the plan, is extremely rigid and absolutely not out of shape.
Although this Japanese army has been prepared for a long time, in the case of having a heart and a heart, it is obvious that Li Ziyuan's calculation is better. After all, the Japanese army has not 'touched' it clearly until now, how many hole cards Li Ziyuan has in his hand. After a few years of the main force, Li Ziyuan has long mastered the tactical use of the Japanese army on the battlefield, especially the ability to react after encountering ambushes in the mountains.
According to the Japanese army's marching columns, speed, and habitual 'sexual' spacing between marches, he used the mathematical knowledge he had learned to set up a set for the Japanese army, which was just a not difficult mathematical problem for Li Ziyuan. Who said minefields can only be laid on mountain roads? Who said that killing and wounding enemy troops can only be done on mountain roads?
When setting the trap, he considered every ambush site from the perspective of the Japanese army, rather than taking the ambush tactics used by the Eighth Route Army as the starting point. During the entire design of the combat plan, he searched his stomach and turned out all the knowledge of mathematics, physics and mechanics that he thought he had long ago.
In addition to the real and false minefields, he has arranged a lot of tricks in the real minefields. For example, around the fake mines, after 'fine' calculation, in addition to the mines, there are also nail mines made of locust wood, which can effectively avoid mine detectors, and traps made of sharpened wood.
Stepping mines made of wood that could not be detected by mine detectors were also planted around the false targets. These mines are all made of yellow 'colored' explosives allocated by the military sub-districts, and each wooden mine is only loaded with a maximum of half a kilogram of explosives. It may be worse to blow someone up, but there's nothing wrong with blowing up half of your foot.
When the Japanese sappers found out the fake mines he had set up, they either stepped on the nail mines, or were stabbed in the big 'thigh' or 'chest' by sharpened wood, or were crippled by those mines that were not very lethal and could only blow up one foot at most.
There were even some Japanese sappers who, when digging out real mines and preparing to detonate them, chose a large tree that had been cleared around the side of the mountain road as a cover in order to avoid the killing range of the mines. Unexpectedly, there were no mines planted under the tree, but someone dug a 'hole' in the tree and stuffed a small mine made of inkwells.
As soon as the unlucky sapper's body was attached to the tree, the one on the tree cut a piece of bark with a knife on the trunk and stuffed it into a 'hole' dug out. And the mine that he dug up was found to be a fake mine after inspection by other sappers.
Li Ziyuan's settings were not enough to kill people, but they made the Japanese army add a group of wounded who could not move. In particular, his nail mine, the Japanese-style 77 caliber heavy machine gun bullets laid in it, were all modified with bayonets. As long as the Japanese soldiers stepped on it, it was not as simple as piercing a hole in the foot, but knocking off half of the soles of the feet.
Not a single real mine was dug up, and a bunch of fake mines were dug up, but Ken Okazaki Nakasa took almost all the sappers. At such a heavy price, only two conclusions were drawn. One is that there are almost no mines on the road, and the second is that the person who buried the mines is not an ordinary lack of morality.
The tactical intent of this mine-laying guy is very clear, not to kill as many Japanese soldiers as possible, but to blow up as many cripples as possible. After this battle, which basically did not face to face with the opponent, the Japanese suffered no more than 20 casualties, but the problem was that dozens of wounded appeared at once.
Compared with Li Ziyuan, who quickly evacuated and moved to the next ambush point to wait for the Japanese army to continue to take the bait. At the foot of the mountain, Okazaki Kencho Nakasa, but he looked at the lofty mountains in front of him, and the wounded soldiers in one place were a little overwhelmed. However, the order given to him by his superiors was to cooperate with the troops attacking from Liaoxian and other directions to encircle the headquarters of the 18th Group Army in Taihang Mountain.
If he just attacked, he retreated because of the 'commotion' of the Eighth Road, then his career in the army would come to an end. Gritting his teeth, he concentrated the three 'doors' mountain cannons he carried, and bombarded the mountain road in front of him and the mountains on both sides.
It's just that he fired dozens of shells, and there was not even a single sound of mines on the entire mountain road and on the mountains on both sides. The entire valley, except for the sound of the explosion of the cannonballs he fired, was silent. It's as if the mines that my subordinates stepped on before, and those traps don't exist at all.
Dumbfounded, Kennaga Okazaki gritted his teeth and left a squad of soldiers, here to protect the wounded and wait for the people he had transferred by telegram and came out of the Qiaokou stronghold. With the main force, he continued to forcibly penetrate the target in the depth of Taihang Mountain. He knew that if he changed course, God knows what else was waiting for him in those dirt roads.
Crucially, it was too late to change the route. If he made a detour, he would not be able to complete the encirclement of the headquarters of the 18th Army within the time specified by his superiors. In desperation, he could only choose to take this route and continue to 'intersperse' in the direction of Licheng.
However, for the current Okazaki Kenaga Nakasa, he did not dare to concentrate his forces on the mountain road. Instead, a reinforced squad was placed on the mountains on both sides of the mountain road to ensure the march of the middle brigade. That is, the two wings protrude and the middle is slightly rear.
It's just that the next thing made this Okazaki Nakasa know what is called Chinese cunning. What did Li Ziyuan do in his previous life? In addition to being a top student, there is also a profession that is a future lawyer. What does a lawyer do, although in the previous life, China's laws were different from those in foreign countries, and there were special requirements for lawyers' practice.
But on two basic points, Chinese lawyers are no different from foreign lawyers. That is to specialize in exploiting the loopholes of the law, as well as to capture the psychological weaknesses of the other party, so as to open certain gaps, so that he can be mitigated or even acquitted by the defender.
Although the situation in China in his previous life was different from that of foreign countries, the classic cases that Li Ziyuan learned made him absolutely first-class when he figured out the opponent's mentality and looked for the opponent's weaknesses. In particular, several professors in his previous life were world-class lawyers. When I was in college, I also studied with several world-class barristers.
What is called a world-class barrister, to put it bluntly, is more able to look for legal weaknesses, and more able to find the psychological weaknesses of opponents, in order to make the most fatal blow. Speaking of speculating about opponents, as well as the mentality of prosecutors and judges, these world-class barristers can all be called psychological warfare experts.
In addition, I have worked hard to study the Japanese in this era, mainly the mentality of the Japanese Army. What will this Kennaga Okazaki think after encountering the first round of attacks, as well as the adjustment of tactics, Li Ziyuan basically has a calculation in his heart.
Therefore, the next journey was like an endless nightmare for Kennaga Okazaki and his subordinates. Just after Kenaga Okazaki and his men were advancing east at full speed again. Before these Japanese troops had gone a thousand meters, the two reinforced squads that were moving along the mountains on both sides did not encounter any danger, but the troops along the mountain road suffered another misfortune.
After losing contact with the spearhead in front of him, the spearhead sent out again stepped on a super big trap. The three tactical groups in front of them, which were advancing with the typical mountain infantry tactics of the Japanese army, did not even have time to react, and fell directly into a trap.
And this trap was cleverly set up, in addition to making all the Japanese soldiers frightened. Even Kennaga Nakasa, who is a graduate of the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School, was amazed when he saw the trap in front of him: "Who the fuck designed such a thing that lacks morality and leads to a loser." ”
One person will not fall when he steps on it, and two people will not fall if he steps on it. When a three-person reconnaissance tactical team, in a typical reconnaissance tactical formation of the army, steps out at a certain distance, the three support points will collapse at the same time. The stress points of the three support points, the force degree and spacing between the center points are almost like a person designing in front of the Japanese army.
