Chapter 236: Battle of Nanchang (18)

In a short time, the marines of the 116th Division of the Japanese Army, which had landed in the waters near Zuoli, had already come over, taking the shortcut before Tiger Mountain and Shiling.

The commander of the Japanese army, who was also a chicken thief, suddenly ordered the team to stop about two kilometers away from the two mountains, and sent dozens of search teams to advance from both sides, trying to climb the high mountains to reconnoitre.

Bai Fei stood on a high place, using the telescope to see the devil's arrangement, slightly disappointed, and muttered in his heart, if the devil is allowed to go up the mountain to search, it will inevitably clash with the troops ambushed on the mountain, and as soon as the gunfire sounds, the ambush will be completely exposed.

Just when he was thinking about countermeasures like lightning, planning whether to strike first, he saw that the large army of devils had not waited for the search teams on both sides to go up the mountain, and suddenly accelerated the speed of the march and ran. It's just that it was originally a four-way column, but now it has become two columns, like a big snake, and the vanguard soon rushed to the vicinity of the mountain pass.

Bai Fei was confused by the Japanese army's move, and he couldn't figure out what moths they were playing. But it turned out that all this was related to Izunichi Murai, who was conducting a landing operation on Poyang Lake.

In order to attack Wucheng and Duchang at the same time, Murai Izunichi divided his team into two, thinking that it would be easy to capture Duchang and Wucheng, but he was unexpectedly met with fierce resistance from the defenders, not only did he suffer great losses on his own side, but even Matsui Taka, who attacked Wucheng, was struggling and made no progress.

At this time, Izumi Murai also knew that his decision to disperse his troops was a bit reckless, but he was unwilling to admit his mistake in front of Matsui Takashi, so he had no choice but to send a telegram to the 116th Division Marines, ordering them to immediately accelerate the march to Duchang at all costs, in an attempt to flank it and destroy the defenders of Duchang. After receiving the news, Sakata Neng, the captain of the Marine Corps of the 116th Division, naturally did not dare to slack off, so he could only rush forward regardless of the danger. This is why the Japanese army sent a search team, but did not wait for the search team to go up the mountain to search, and suddenly accelerated the speed of the march.

Not to mention that Bai Fei, who was observing the enemy situation on the mountain, saw the Japanese army suddenly rushing over again, although he couldn't understand the reason, he was very happy, and immediately asked Liu Zhen, the commander of the first battalion, to give an order to all units to prepare for battle through the radio.

As he spoke, a small half of the Japanese army had already passed through the pass between the two mountains, but hundreds of meters away, there were still about 400 people towed behind the team. In the middle of the crowd, more than 30 mules pulled more than a dozen artillery pieces, followed by several carts carrying ammunition. Walking in the middle of the crowd was an officer-like man, riding on a tall horse, looking ahead with a telescope.

Bai Fei said to Liu Zhen: "After firing for a while, ask the brothers to use RPG to greet those devil artillerymen, but pay attention to the ammunition transported behind the devils, if you can keep it, leave it." ”

Liu Zhen nodded.

After Bai Fei finished speaking, he beckoned to the side, took a German G3 sniper rifle from a guard, put it on the rock in front of him, and aimed at the devil officer.

At this time, the brothers of the third company of the 1st battalion ambushed on the south side of the mountain reported that the Japanese forward troops were about to arrive at their positions. Bai Fei saw that the time was almost up, so he decisively pulled the sniper rifle in his hand, and poor Sakata Noichi, the captain of the 116th Division Marine Corps, although he was 500 meters away, he didn't even see the face of the attacker, so he was shot through the head by the bullet and shot in the head.

With the sound of Bai Fei's gunshot, the soldiers who had been pressing for a long time opened fire one after another, and for a while, the gunfire of AK47 shook the four fields, and the bullets were sprinkled on the devil soldiers under the mountain without money. The Japanese were defenseless, caught off guard, screaming, and in just a few moments, I don't know how many were killed. There are devil soldiers with high combat literacy, and they have fallen on the spot and are ready to resist, but at this time they have been deeply encircled, and fierce blows are coming from all directions, and Bai Fei's troops are condescending, hidden in the mountains and rocks, so most of the Japanese troops just shoot indiscriminately, and they can't play a role in counterattacking at all.

Because there are a huge number of devils under the mountain, and most of the soldiers of the regiment directly under the regiment living on the mountain are veterans who have experienced many battles, after firing a shuttle of bullets, they immediately took out the "pearl" grenade on their bodies, pulled out the fuse, and threw it down the mountain without even looking at it. Condescendingly, it is a good time for the grenade to play a role, and the pearl grenade is very powerful, fragments kill the enemy, each one goes down, within a radius of more than ten meters, there are few live mouths. Seeing this, the rest of the people followed suit, and for a time hundreds of grenades were thrown down the mountain one after another, and for a time the overwhelming explosions came and went, and the devil soldiers in the valley were killed and wounded, and they didn't even have the courage to resist, and they rushed to both sides of the valley desperately, trying to escape from this hellish place.

However, the devil soldiers who ran back to the north were fine, but most of the Japanese soldiers ran south like flies without their heads. Before they could break out of the pass between the two mountains, they suddenly heard more intense firing from their faces. After receiving the order to attack, the soldiers of the 3rd Company, who had been lying in ambush on both sides of the road not far south of the valley, immediately moved out six Gatling heavy machine guns and began to attack the Japanese troops advancing south from the front.

Gatling's kind of big killer weapon is extremely ferocious, the bullet not only has a high rate of fire, but also is extremely powerful, six of them fire together, that is, the copper wall can't bear it, not to mention that there are several 107 rocket launchers in the rear of the third company. Therefore, in just a few moments, the Japanese forward troops and the nearly 1,000 Japanese soldiers who fled from the pass in a hurry were wiped out under the combined attack of six Gatlings, 107 rocket launchers, and three companies of soldiers, leaving only broken corpses all over the ground and some of the wounded and undead devil soldiers howling miserably.

The battle, starting with Bai Fei shooting and killing the Japanese commander, lasted about 4 minutes in total. This Japanese army of about 2,000 people, under the blow carefully arranged by Bai Fei, was wiped out about 1,500 people, and more than 400 people remained, most of whom belonged to the Japanese artillery unit and baggage troops. Because they were in the rear of the Japanese army, the battle began more than 300 meters away from the valley pass, after the battle was started, the Japanese artillery unit also planned to set up artillery to fight back, but the artillery was not yet erected, under the long-range attack of several RPGs under the personal command of Liu Zhen, not only several cannons and dozens of devil soldiers were blown up, but even the captain of the artillery team was killed.

Immediately afterwards, dozens of defeated devil soldiers fled north from the valley in a hurry, and Liu Zhendang led a company in ambush in Hushan to chase after him.

At this time, not only was the commander of the Japanese army killed, but even the main combat force was deeply encircled, and its life and death were uncertain. Seeing that the opponent's firepower was so fierce, and they were all about to catch up with him, the commander of the Japanese baggage army took a horse from the baggage cart on the side, jumped on the horse, turned around and ran. When Liu Zhen's company chased after him, the devil soldiers had fled hundreds of meters away, leaving only a place of baggage and six 75mm field guns.

He was about to give the order to continue the chase, but suddenly received an order from Bai Fei, ordering him to quickly gather all available supplies and return.
