Chapter 109: What are you afraid of?
Taking the money handed over by Li Ziyuan, Qian Defu nodded. Turning around and leading a small group out of the hideaway, heading out of the mountain. Looking at Qian Defu's back, and then at the wounded people around him who had fallen into a coma due to high fever, Li Ziyuan shook his head slightly. After personally arranging the sentry, Li Ziyuan sat down against the trunk of the tree on the edge of the alert fire point.
However, Li Ziyuan, who was leaning on the trunk of the tree, seemed to be resting, but in fact, his head did not stop running all the time. The next transfer direction of the troops is also Li Ziyuan's biggest headache. Returning to the eastern mountains for recuperation, this is an inevitable choice. But how to go back, Li Ziyuan still has to think carefully and ponder.
Especially when the surrounding enemy situation is unknown, Li Ziyuan does not want to act rashly. He didn't want to get into the wolf's den not long after he got out of the tiger's mouth. He would not be naΓ―ve to think that the little devil had no defense against the traffic artery of Basongling.
Although most of the devil's troops are currently in the western plains of Hubei. However, the first line of Basongling is the Shangdang Basin, the traffic artery that enters the Jinzhong Basin in the north. After Basongling, where there is little room for maneuver, it is the boundary of Ludong, and the little devil will not fail to prepare in this direction.
Even if it has been highlighted, the next step is still to be cautious. Because Li Ziyuan clearly knew that entering Basongling did not mean that he was really out of danger. Perhaps, there may be more severe tests to come. Even if you don't, it doesn't hurt to estimate the changes in the enemy's situation more, at least for yourself.
Although he was very tired at this time, Li Ziyuan, who had no sleepiness at all, finally stood up. Carrying a telescope, I walked to the top of the hill and looked around. It's just a pity that the high-magnification telescope in his hand is still limited in the observation distance.
Although I could see the road not far away through the telescope, I couldn't see the road clearly because of the distance between the mountains. Although Li Ziyuan wanted to find out the specific situation not far ahead, on the road where they had to retreat eastward. But the terrain is limited, so he has never been able to do so.
After hesitating for a moment, Li Ziyuan turned his telescope and looked at the surrounding villages nearby. As long as the villages that could be swept in by his telescope, they were all within Li Ziyuan's observation range. Li Ziyuan, who had been observing for a long time and did not show anything abnormal, finally put down the telescope in his hand with some disappointment.
Li Ziyuan, who came down the mountain, looked at the soldiers who were sleeping crookedly. He could only cautiously walk around and walk to the wounded. Sitting down, while constantly cooling down the wounded with cold water, while patiently waiting for Qian Defu's return, while his mind was still turning rapidly, analyzing the possible next possible target after the Japanese puppet army continued to fight in the air.
He killed so many Japanese officers at once, and the little devil will definitely not give up, which is almost an inevitable result. And after the Japanese army is looking for its own revenge for successive defeats, what will be the next move of the Japanese puppet army? Whether to continue to sweep the mountains in the east, or whether it will be temporarily stopped for a few days, Li Ziyuan can't figure out for the time being.
It's just a pity that a small team followed Qian Defu to find a doctor. Otherwise, if you take a small team to the side of the highway and reconnoiter covertly to see the real state of the other side, this determination may be much better. But at the moment, Qian Defu is not there, if he is leaving the army, and the current army is mainly recruits, there must be a problem
After thinking about it, Li Ziyuan decided to wait until Qian Defu came back. Since the thirty-six bows have been bowed, it is not bad for this meeting. But that's not all. The most critical issue is to do a good job of vigilance. Don't be attacked by the little devils here, then you will really become a goose that has been beaten for a lifetime, and finally the goose pecked out the eyes.
It's just that a lot of the time, it's really just that I'm often afraid of something. Just when Li Ziyuan stood up and was about to straighten his waist. A gunshot rang out at the secret sentry position at the bottom of the mountain, which directly made Li Ziyuan want to stretch his waist, but quickly took out his pistol and went straight to the place where the gun sounded.
After arriving at the position, Li Ziyuan appeared at the foot of the mountain, about a Japanese army, with the cooperation of a group of plainclothes armed forces, and began to charge. The machine-gun firepower on duty was cooperating with several veterans who were constantly changing positions, and the veterans who had been sent out by him to serve as secret sentinels were desperately blocking with thin firepower.
Seeing that the Japanese puppet army at the foot of the mountain had already charged, Li Ziyuan immediately took out a grenade, pulled out the safety rope and threw it down on the ground. And quickly connected the fast and slow machine in his hand, put the holster on his shoulder, and a magazine of twenty bullets hit the flank of the Japanese puppet army that was charging.
And the fighters who were awakened behind him also pulled out their guns and opened fire down the mountain. Looking at the chaotic soldiers, Li Ziyuan hurried to change the magazine, and shouted to the soldiers behind him: "All the recruits, let Lao Tzu withdraw to the back mountain." The veterans and the brothers anyway, stay behind to block these Japanese troops. β
"Other soldiers who have been in the army for a month don't waste bullets, greet them with grenades to Lao Tzu. Lao He, you don't need your old boy here. Take a machine gun and your grenadier canister, go to the flank and hit Lao Tzu hard, go and knock out those two machine guns for Lao Tzu. β
Hearing Li Ziyuan's shout calmed down the chaotic troops. All the recruits, led by a squad leader, withdrew to a col in the back mountain. As for the other fighters, they put down their guns and took out grenades, and threw them desperately down the mountain.
And He Huizhang received Li Ziyuan's order, under the cover of a light machine gun beside him, and also took a machine gun to brave the fire of the Japanese counterattack under the mountain, and detoured to the flank. And the fast and slow machine in Li Ziyuan's hand kept firing, cleaning up the Japanese troops who were charging towards the mountain.
Fight the Japanese army as the backbone first, as long as we find a way to contain the momentum of the Japanese army's charge, the next step will be much easier. If you can't contain the momentum of the Japanese charge at the foot of the mountain, then your temporary defense line is likely to be broken by a small Japanese team.
This point is not that Li Ziyuan is alarmist. On the battlefield, there are many examples of a Japanese squad defeating a company position of the squadron. Especially if there is preparation in advance, it can even be said that in the current small battlefield, the squad that has the initiative, as long as they are close together, even if they take a company of the old unit, they may not be able to eat it.
The Japanese army, which is at its peak at the moment, is too strong in combat. As long as the other side is prepared, and the gap between the strength and firepower is not large, it will definitely be a hard bone. If you don't find a way to defeat this Japanese squad first, the situation you face will be really dangerous.
Especially at the moment, the number of veterans in his hands is even inferior to this Japanese squad in the absence of a small team. And this Japanese squad under the mountain, from the perspective of tactical movements, is definitely a veteran who has participated in the war for at least one year on the Chinese battlefield. The two crooked handles hit accurately and ruthlessly, and even suppressed their own light machine guns.
Therefore, Li Ziyuan put the focus of the firepower attack on the heads of the Japanese army. The troops in the rear, according to his request, threw pieces of grenades on the heads of the Japanese soldiers as long as the Japanese attacked together. At this time, Li Ziyuan couldn't care about saving ammunition.
If this temporary structure had been formed against the mountain, even the simplest fortifications would have been breached. Let this Japanese squad rush into their own position, and their entire position will collapse. At that time, even if there is more ammunition, it will not be of any use.
As for the plainclothes armed forces that cooperated with the Japanese army, Li Ziyuan only deployed one machine gun to suppress it. Because each of these is a plainclothes armed with a long and short gun, although the equipment can be said to be excellent, but at this moment in his eyes there is not even a threat from a Japanese rifle group.
From the tactical movements, Li Ziyuan can see it at a glance. Those plainclothes armed forces who charged towards the mountain in a mess were definitely not the plainclothes armed forces made up by the Japanese soldiers they encountered before. The plainclothes armed forces that he encountered in the eastern mountains before were typical Japanese tactical moves as soon as they pulled away.
Not only is the shooting accurate and ruthless, but the tactical coordination is also unusually tight. But these plainclothes armed forces in front of him, although they are not much different from the plainclothes armed forces in terms of equipment. However, the tactical literacy is too poor, and even a considerable number of people have not received basic infantry tactical training at first glance.
When he charged, he was a mess, and he relied on courage to rush upward. Once encountering fire resistance, no matter whether the location is suitable for concealment, he will immediately lie down. When shooting, except for a few people, most of the marksmanship can only be said to be ordinary.
This plainclothes armed force that cooperated with the Japanese squad should be part of the plainclothes special service team of Pseudo-Hubei County. Therefore, Li Ziyuan did not focus on their firepower strikes. For them, the more means is the use of fire deterrence. As long as you are fighting the Japanese army, these guys don't come over and make trouble.
But the change in the battle situation was not transferred by Li Ziyuan's will. Although he stopped the Japanese charge at the first time, it can only be said that he contained the Japanese charge. The gap between new and veteran soldiers is definitely not only in military literacy and marksmanship. The experience on the battlefield is incomparable to that of a veteran.
Although the recruits on the battlefield at the moment have already completed part of their training, it can even be said that they have fought two battles. But those two ambush battles are still too different from this kind of face-to-face confrontation. These half-old recruits, in this kind of hard-fought battle, the gap is completely revealed.
Although the number of grenades thrown was large, the scene looked hot, but that was the end of it. The grenades thrown often follow the veterans around them. Veterans threw grenades in that direction, and their grenades landed in that direction.
It is not a mistake to say that this tactic is against a dense enemy. However, what kind of unit is the Japanese army, and the strength of individual combat quality far exceeds that of almost all Chinese armies. On many occasions, with the strength of an infantry brigade, the strength of a squadron and a division has been defeated.
Even an infantry brigade dares to intersperse behind hundreds of thousands of squadrons. For Li Ziyuan, who can only sneak attack and beat the stuffy stick from behind, naturally he will not have too many scruples. After the sneak attack failed and changed to a strong attack, a squad dared to divide into several tactical groups and attack in multiple directions.
