Chapter 1393: Driving the Sheep into the Ring

With the pursuers of the little devils behind, it was basically certain that their whereabouts had been exposed, and there was no need to hide from the enemy reconnaissance planes in the sky at night, and the soldiers simply lit torches, and the marching speed of the troops was significantly accelerated, but it only hurt the troops who opened the road in front.

But what is strange is that the little devil doesn't seem to be in a hurry, just follows behind the soldiers of the national army from a distance.

At first, Tang Enbo thought that they were afraid that the night was not suitable for a large-scale attack, but by the next morning, the little devil who followed behind still had no sign of attacking.

After a night and a morning of continuous marching, the men with iron nails could not bear it, and the soldiers began to stagger and stagger along.

Tang Enbo immediately felt that the situation was wrong, it was like a little devil driving sheep into the pen, and there was an ambush in front of him.

Although they entered the jungle, the little devils could take the road by car, and it was normal to catch up with them.

Tang Enbo immediately ordered the troops to stop, dispatched the Qing 226th Division to build a defensive position in the rear to block the enemy, and sent sharp soldiers to reconnoiter forward.

At the same time, he used the radio to contact Zhang Linghu in front of him and asked them about their current location.

After three days and three nights of rapid marching, at this time they have been interspersed with more than 100 miles to the south, and they have walked at least half the distance from the Sino-Vietnamese border, and it stands to reason that they should not be too far away from Zhang Linghu, as long as they are sure that they can rush over for reinforcements in a short time, even if there is an enemy ambush in front of them, they are not afraid.

But what is disappointing is that Zhang Linghu's radio station has been in a state of silence and cannot be contacted at all.

Zhang Linghu sent a telegram back to Wan Jianfan, saying that he had brought a group to the rescue, which must not be fake.

Tang Enbo quickly reacted, it must have been Zhang Linghu who was afraid that Jiang Haoran would send a message ordering him to go back again, so he simply turned off the radio. Of course, it is also possible that they want to be invisible in front of the enemy, after all, there are only more than 2,000 people in a regiment, and of course the chances of winning a surprise attack are higher.

Thinking about this, Tang Enbo was also calm, as long as he thought that Zhang Linghu was in front, he was fearless.

The defensive positions in the rear had not yet been built, the enemy had already caught up, and the battle soon began, and for a time there was a burst of artillery fire in the originally silent jungle.

When they broke through, they threw all the heavy guys, and of course the cannon was the enemy's.

Listening to the sound, the caliber of artillery fire is not large, but dense enough, which is undoubtedly a huge threat to the national army, the temporary fortifications can not effectively defend against artillery fire, and the small-caliber artillery fire is relatively flexible, and the artillery can be opened in a random corner, and the national army has almost no way to deal with them, bazookas, guns, * can not pose a threat to them because of the limited distance, they can only be passively bombed.

Fortunately, the enemy's artillery attack did not last long, presumably in the deep mountains and dense forests, they were also in a hurry, and the artillery shells they carried were also limited, and the battle soon entered the stage of hand-to-hand combat.

Although the AK47 in the hands of the soldiers of the national army has an absolute advantage in jungle combat, compared with the German weapons and Japanese submachine guns in the hands of the little devils, the light and heavy machine gun firepower of the island army is even more crazy, and the battle has become an all-round suppression momentum at the beginning, and the national army is simply unable to build an effective defensive firepower network, and the distance is shortened to hundreds of meters by a breakthrough of the little devils, and the situation is immediately unfavorable to the national army.

It is still Tang Enbo's tactics that have problems, he has not been with Jiang Haoran for a long time, and he is actually still the same old tactical thinking in his bones, fighting positional battles with the enemy at every turn.

There's nothing wrong with being in the middle of nowhere, but this is a jungle, and there are so many places to hide that there's no need to engage the enemy in positional warfare. As soon as a trench is dug, its own defense line is immediately exposed to the enemy, and when the firepower is clearly inferior to the enemy, it is certain that it will be bombed.

Not to mention the special operations division, even if it is handed over to any other division of the expeditionary force to fight, the situation is definitely not like this, and they will not easily give the enemy such a loophole.

There will definitely be no trenches that stretch for several miles, and they will take advantage of the mountainous terrain to form a straggler formation, set up ambush circles and traps, and wait for the enemy to touch it before firing, and set up a powerful firepower network in key parts, once they fire, they will inevitably bring a lot of casualties to the enemy.

At least the casualties of this artillery fire could have been avoided, and the enemy could not have entered a targeted attack so quickly.

However, it is too late to say anything now, because the enemy's reinforced wing is only a lot more than a remnant division of the current national army, and in the absence of superiority in troops and weapons, within half an hour of the start of the battle, the national army is in a state of lack of strength, the rear line of defense has almost been broken through by the enemy several times, and the casualties have also risen sharply.

Helpless, Tang Enbo could only increase his troops, and sent a regiment from the Qing 227th Division to support, the battle lasted less than an hour, and the rear needed support, which is not a good phenomenon, once there is really an enemy in front, they will immediately surround it, and the danger is self-evident.

And this worry is not unnecessary, in fact, less than ten miles ahead, the Yanagawa Wing of the 1st Guards Division of the Island Army is waiting in front.

They took the road, and it was a highly mechanized motorized wing, and the speed was naturally much faster than the two legs of the national army, and this morning they had already driven into the jungle, and they were waiting for the national army to send them to the door.

In the end, they are good at jungle warfare, they are not like Tang Enbo to build an obvious blocking position, all the blocking points are based on the mountains, with the help of the jungle mountain bags, bushes and even tall trees to build fire points, even a large number of foxholes are treated, there is no sign of groundbreaking outside, even if the national army officers and soldiers walk to the front, I am afraid it is difficult to find that there is an ambush in front, if Tang Enbo stupidly bumps into it, the result can be imagined.

It's a pity that Tang Enbo woke up at a critical moment and didn't continue to move forward, and the Yanagawa United team was basically busy in vain.

The jungle was extremely quiet, and the distance of ten miles was not too far, and although the gunfire in front was not very obvious, the rumbling cannon sound was faintly audible.

Yanagawa Nobuo walked out of the jungle bunker with a few staff guards, and was listening to the movement ahead with his ears sideways, when a telegraph soldier hurriedly came to report that the Kishimoto Wing sent an urgent telegram, and the army seemed to be aware of it and had stopped, and now the two armies had become a stalemate, and the Captain of the Kishimoto Wing asked the Yanagawa Wing to press up immediately and exterminate them on the spot.

Yanagawa Nobuo showed a sneering sneer on his face, even if Tang Enbo was a little clever, it was too late now, he slowly raised his right hand with white gloves, and said in a cruel voice: "Go, the target is ten miles ahead, pounce on them and tear them apart!" ”
