Chapter Ninety-Seven: Ambush Warfare

However, Li Ziyuan didn't say that he didn't really give any training to these recruits, at least they were given a grenade. Fastest update access: щщщ.79XS.сОΜ. And taught these recruits how to use this Jin and Gong grenades. This time, more than 30 boxes of grenades were taken out from Gou Deyao's home, and the number of grenades in Li Ziyuan's hand was sufficient.

Moreover, thirty seventy-percent new Han-made seven-nine rifles, fifteen Gong-made ninety-eight rifles, plus fifteen formal rifles seized from his minions, as well as fifty thousand rifle bullets and two thousand shell bullets, enabled these recruits to receive weapons on the day they enlisted.

Although military training has not yet begun, at least the weapons in the hands of these recruits are adequate. At that time, when this batch of weapons had just been released, Li Ziyuan breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. Looking at these weapons marked as scrapped products, which are actually intact, Li Ziyuan vaguely felt that these weapons were not scattered products from a certain war.

That Gou Deyao didn't lie, these guns should have been exchanged for grain in the Zhongtiao Mountains. The barren people in the Zhongtiao Mountains are poor, the grain production is extremely low, and there are now more than 100,000 troops stationed at the moment. The food that these hundreds of thousands of troops need every day needs to be supplied from the outside world. Relying only on the central Henan region, not only the distance is long, but the output is also difficult to meet the demand.

Purchasing food from the outside world by all means to maintain the most basic survival of the troops has become the choice of those army commanders. Of course, for some generals, it is also a good choice to get a little extra spot in addition to food. After all, everyone likes the ocean and gold bars. In this era when there are grass kings everywhere, as long as the gun is made, it will not worry about sales.

Moreover, in eastern Henan and southern Jinnan, there are also many miscellaneous armed forces that were incorporated into the First War Zone and the Second War Zone. These armed forces are given only one number, and more or less maintenance funds are given every month. As for what other equipment, it may be given a point to open up the heaven and earth line. If you don't have a backstage or can't get through the world, then I'm sorry to find a way to raise it yourself.

Those armed forces are located behind enemy lines, and some of them have their own territories, and they all have their own ways of getting money. It is better to buy it with money than to ask grandpa, sue for 'milk' and 'milk', and go to someone to supplement and save money. At the very least, they can't afford to buy the 'medicine' of those supply weapons at a clear price. Instead of this, it is more cost-effective to buy some equipment like these second-hand dealers.

Li Ziyuan once heard a cadre of a former guerrilla army who was incorporated into the Eighth Route Army complain. Over there, the supplies were approved above, and when they got it at the military station, it was also clear and real. Who made you not a central army and who made you a miscellaneous card in a miscellaneous position? A gun, a bullet costs cash. It is better to use opium and grain to cover the account than to 'spend' cash.

And these 'sex' can be excellent, at least Li Ziyuan thinks that 'sex' can be better than the Chinese formal, and it is more suitable for the Gongzao 98 rifle on the Chinese battlefield. It has been produced for more than a year, and the output is still very limited, and the troops equipped are also limited. It is far from being comparable to the Hanyang-made rifle and the Jin-made rifle equipped by the miscellaneous army.

Even compared to imported rifles, the number is far from the same. At present, among the troops on the Chongqing side, it can be regarded as a miscellaneous rifle. The puppet army is generally unequipped, and it is estimated that there will be no inventory, and it should still be scattered from the active army. At that time, when he saw this batch of Gongzao Type 98 rifles, Li Ziyuan was still very emotional.

However, with this batch of rifles from Gou Deyao's house, Li Ziyuan no longer has to worry about the weapons of the recruits. You must know that even in the main army, it is very rare to shoot when you arrive at the troops. With the support of these weapons and ammunition, Li Ziyuan believes that as long as he gives himself three months, he is fully capable of making these recruits reborn.

It's just a pity that the situation is unlikely to give him so much time. Time was pressing, and Li Ziyuan only taught these recruits to use grenades. As for the somewhat difficult training of shooting and 'shooting', Li Ziyuan has not yet had time to start it. But this time, he just let these recruits watch the battle, and Li Ziyuan did not plan to put these recruits into battle.

So these recruits only learned how to pull fire and then throw grenades, which is not a 'problem'. Li Ziyuan's insistence made Liu Yanlai speechless, and at the same time, he could only use the limited time before the battle as much as possible to make a cameo appearance as a political cadre to educate these recruits in political ideology.

He was really worried that after a battle, these recruits would not be killed, but would be scared to run away. Liu Yanlai, who has also cooperated with the local armed forces to fight several battles, still has a certain impression of those bloody battlefields. Coupled with the folk customs of Shanxi, it is not so strong.

At that time, the Jin Sui Army, which had a strong arsenal to rely on, was equipped with the highest equipment among all warlords in China, but its combat effectiveness was only average. There are still two battles in defensive warfare, but in other aspects it is a little worse. In case these recruits are scared away, it will be difficult to mobilize back.

Liu Yanlai seized the time to give political education to the recruits, while Li Ziyuan patiently waited for the Japanese convoy to take over. The calm of the first day did not affect Li Ziyuan's mentality. And the next morning, there was still no movement, and Li Ziyuan was still very patient to appease the troops who were obviously somewhat impatient.

After surviving the scorching days at noon, there was finally movement in Hubei County in the afternoon. At two o'clock in the afternoon, a transport team of five trucks, guided by a motorcycle, drove into Li Ziyuan's telescope. Looking at the convoy of five trucks in the telescope, the corners of Li Ziyuan's mouth showed a slight smile.

Seeing that the Japanese convoy was getting closer and closer, Li Ziyuan waved his hand and asked Qian Defu to command the troops to immediately enter the ambush position. And he himself took Guo Xiaoshan and quickly buried a mine converted from five grenades on the road. The lead was camouflaged and placed all the way to the ambush position.

After the deployment, I saw that the Japanese convoy was still some distance away. Li Ziyuan held a telescope to carefully observe the Japanese convoy, and at the same time constantly estimated the speed of the Japanese convoy. In order to determine the time of pulling the mine, so that this mine, which was modified with a grenade, can be used to the fullest.

But as the Japanese convoy got closer and closer, Li Ziyuan sensed that something was wrong. The last time he observed a Japanese supply convoy passing on this road. Although the accompanying escort troops did not use puppet troops, but all Japanese troops, they were generally only a single rifle group.

But this time, one of the five trucks was all armed Japanese soldiers. On the motorcycle that opened the road in front, a 'strong' crooked machine gun was also eyeing the green gauze tents on both sides of the road. In other words, the strength of the Japanese escort this time far exceeded what he observed last time.

What surprised Li Ziyuan the most was that on the truck behind the escort troops, all the Japanese officers standing with pistols on their backs and sabers on their shoulders were actually standing. The convoy of the Japanese army entering the mountain this time was different from the past, which made Li Ziyuan very incomprehensible. But one thing he knew very well was that this convoy was definitely not as simple as simply transporting supplies.

The hostile situation is much more severe than expected. Although there was only one squad of the Japanese army, with the addition of those officers, Li Ziyuan was really not sure that he could solve the problem in a short time. The most important thing is that there are too many new recruits in the army, and their own troops also occupy an absolute advantage. When he was in the main force, a reinforced company could not necessarily solve a Japanese squad in a short time.

What's more, at present, the army has an absolute advantage, and the combat effectiveness of the second is not much different from that of the old army. Looking at the convoy that was getting closer and closer, the two thoughts of fighting or not fighting instantly turned back and forth in Li Ziyuan's mind. But at this moment, he opened the bow and had no turning back, and his hesitation was instantaneous.

Gritting his teeth, Li Ziyuan personally took the lead of the grenade converted into Lalei. At the same time, a death order was given, the grenade on his side did not explode, and it was absolutely not allowed to shoot. As long as the Larley on his side explodes, the other side can greet with grenades and machine guns, and all the machine guns will concentrate their fire on the escort car first.

As for the leading motorcycle, he 'handed over' Liu Lianming and Guo Xiaoshan. He told Liu Lianming to hit the machine gunner first, and then knock out the driver. If Li Ziyuan could, he would have liked Liu Lianming to directly blow up the fuel tank of that motorcycle with one shot. But this idea is also to think about it, if you want to really practice Liu Lianming, it is still a little bit hot. If Guo Laosan is here, there is still this possibility.

Perhaps it was during this period of time that the unusually calm on this road made the Japanese convoy very careless. Even from the time they appeared in Li Ziyuan's telescope, to the time they entered the ambush circle, they needed to turn two corners. And the green gauze tents on both sides of the highway also tightly blocked their view. However, the convoy of the Japanese puppet army did not slow down in any way.

Just when Li Ziyuan had just taken over Lalei's pull line, the motorcycle leading the Japanese convoy had already crashed headlong into his ambush circle. When the motorcycle appeared in Li Ziyuan's sight, Li Ziyuan did not rush to pull the fire, but estimated the speed of the Japanese convoy to make the most of the few pulles tied with five grenades.

When the truck full of Japanese escorts was still about three meters away from the lead in Li Ziyuan's hand, Li Ziyuan pulled the lead in his hand fiercely. At the same time, he grabbed the two Japanese-made grenades in front of him, pulled out the fuse and smashed them on the ground, and then paused for three seconds to throw the two grenades out directly.

In the end, he was born as a scholar in his previous life, and Li Ziyuan's calculations were quite 'fine'. When the grenade exploded, it exploded right under the site of the truck loaded with Japanese escorts. The cluster grenade bundled with five grenades exploded with great force that directly overturned the truck, killing and injuring the Japanese soldiers on the truck.

Before the Japanese soldiers who were killed or injured in the bombing could react, the two grenades in Li Ziyuan's hands also exploded directly on the heads of the Japanese soldiers. At the same time, on both sides of the road, pieces of grenades were thrown, and they also exploded on the heads of the Japanese convoys. And after throwing two grenades, the fast and slow machine in Li Ziyuan's hand quickly fired a sweeping 'shot'.

The three 'Ting' machine guns, deployed in 'cross' crosses on both sides of the road, also opened fire at almost the same time. It's just that these three 'strong' light machine guns are aimed at the truck full of Japanese officers in front. In an instant, the truck was turned into a hornet's nest, and a group of Japanese officers who were busy jumping out of the truck were killed and wounded.

The 'fine' and 'crossed' shots of the two rifles of Guo Xiaoshan and Liu Lianming also knocked over the motorcycle in front of the road directly into the roadside ditch on the side of the highway. Before the machine gunner in the car could shoot, Liu Lianming fired a bullet on the steel helmet and opened a skylight. And Guo Xiaoshan also hit the driver directly with a shot, and then eliminated another soldier behind the driver who wanted to drag the machine gun.
