Chapter 167: Ambush One

Changshan Temple Bay. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

This small bay is about fifty miles away from Suizhong County, and the post road outside the Guanwai that exits the wolf's cave ditch comes from the northwest, and then near the bay, it turns southwest and goes to the southwest.

In the meantime, the middle part is a gentle coastal grassland, surrounded by mountains, and surrounded by two semi-rings of mountains that stretch into Liaodong Bay in the east, which is the anchorage place of the fishing boats of the mountain people of Langdonggou.

At this time, Liaodong Bay was already frozen, and more than a dozen fishing boats of different sizes were pulled onto the beach and quietly parked on the shore.

"Battalion commander, the Japanese search team is about to leave Houwolf's Cave Ditch, there are about thirty people."

In the ruined temple in the bay of Changshan Temple, Luo Minglei and Reinhard and a group of soldiers from the battalion department, trainee staff officers, were looking at the map of the area, and a scout ran back to report.

"Give the four detachments an order, you can attack, but don't fall in love with the battle, and don't get too close to the post road, now the main task is to hit the Japanese alert team."

Because the Japanese infantry chose to send a guard team to stand guard between the mountains in front of and behind the post road, the independent battalion could not lurk close and attack the Japanese artillery.

They could only attack the Japanese soldiers on the hills on both sides of the post road.

At this time, the Japanese advance team that had just walked out of the wolf's cave ditch immediately suffered the first round of attacks by the Carl detachment of the independent battalion.

"Bang, bang—"

Although the Japanese had been prepared for a long time, they were still shot by a volley of more than 30 rifles, knocking down three people.

"Lie down, shoot, shoot!"

Kawamura Dong, the second lieutenant of the Japanese infantry who led the team, hurriedly ordered his soldiers to lie down on the side of the road and shoot back at the independent battalion that was hiding in the mountains and forests 130 or 40 meters ahead.

"Surround them!"

Hearing the gunfire ahead, the Japanese troops who were on guard along the ridgeline on both sides of the post road, under the orders of their respective squad leaders, ran and rushed towards the gunfire.

"Retreat, a platoon retreats immediately!"

Seeing more than 30 Japanese soldiers at the intersection in front, all prostrate and hiding beside the mountain roads on both sides, Carter immediately ordered a platoon to retreat and evacuate.

"Baga, Qing Pig wants to escape, bow down and attack, catch up with them, don't let them escape!"

Seeing that the soldiers of the independent battalion in the mountains and forests in front wanted to escape, how could Kawamura Dong let them flee easily, and even before he had time to wait for reinforcements from behind, he ordered his Japanese troops to get up and pursue.

"Bang, bang—"

As a result, as soon as they pursued to the position where the anti-Japanese army had been hiding before, there was suddenly another gunfire 100 meters ahead, and the second platoon of Karl's department had been waiting for a long time in the back, and then took advantage of the situation to shoot.

Immediately, three or four Japanese soldiers were knocked over in the mountains and forests.

"Lie down, Baga, these pigs!"

The Japanese soldiers, who were dazed, lay down in the mountains and forests one after another, looking up for the traces of the anti-Japanese army.

"Retreat!"

Seeing that the Japanese troops were lying down and hiding, the second platoon of the independent battalion immediately began to withdraw from the hidden position, not giving the Japanese troops who were rushing from the mountains and forests on both sides any chance to outflank.

"Bang, bang—"

At this time, because the mountains on both sides of the Japanese artillery were transferred from two squads of Japanese infantry, there was a gap in the cordons on both sides of the Japanese army.

The detachments of the two independent battalions, which were lying in ambush not far from the two mountains, saw the opportunity and immediately took the opportunity to advance, rushed to the slopes on both sides of the post road, and fired at the Japanese troops on the post road down the mountain.

"The fourth squadron will attack the left mountain, and the fifth squadron will attack the right mountain, and all of them will kill these pigs!"

Tadazaburo Yamada, the captain of the Japanese infantry brigade at the post road at the foot of the mountain, shouted angrily 'Wow Wow' and ordered the infantry on guard on the post road to go up the mountain to attack.

"Retreat!"

Seeing the Japanese infantry ascending the mountain, the soldiers of the independent battalion who were ambushed by the two mountains immediately retreated into the distance and disappeared into the reckless mountain forest.

In the afternoon of the same day, around the heavy artillery wing of the Japanese army, sniper cold guns came and went, and the Japanese soldiers could not move an inch without hesitation.

It was repeated until night, when the Japanese lost eleven soldiers and seriously wounded three, and the artillery wing staggered out of the wolf's cave ditch, set up a guard position in the grassland of Changshan Temple Bay, and temporarily set up camp.

However, before the Japanese could build camp and raise bonfires, the attack of the independent battalion came again.

"Bang!"

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

"Yu-"

"Aang, Aang—"

With the sound of cold guns in the mountains and forests, there was chaos in the Japanese camp, but fortunately, the Japanese army had already taken precautions and tied the coolies to ropes, otherwise I don't know how many coolies would escape from the chaos.

"Baga, these shameless pigs!"

Sakurai Kuzaburo and Yamada Tadazaburo's angry eyes breathed fire, but looking at the dark mountains and forests, they really didn't dare to order the troops to attack the camp again, for fear of being calculated by the independent battalion again.

"Strictly guard the camp, at such a distance, these pigs can't beat the soldiers of the empire!"

Tadazaburo Yamada had no choice but to yell to comfort the panicked soldiers in the camp.

"Bang, bang—"

As the bonfire in the camp was raised, the soldiers of the independent battalion who were ambushed in the surrounding mountains and forests immediately found an eye-catching shooting target.

Although they were more than three or four hundred meters away, they were condescending, and with the effective range of seven or eight hundred meters from their rifles, there were still unlucky Japanese soldiers who were shot from time to time.

Immediately, after eating a full meal, the Japanese camp, which had to keep the fire burning all night, had to light a small fire and block the dense pine branches around it before daring to sleep.

This night was a long night of humiliation and frightening for the 1st Brigade of the 4th Wing of the Japanese Army and the headquarters and 2nd Brigade of the Heavy Artillery Wing of the Japanese Army.

That night, for a whole night, the first and third platoons of the Bruce Division of the Independent Battalion were responsible for repeatedly shooting and harassing the Japanese camp all night.

Although only occasionally wounded some Japanese soldiers, a few mules and horses, and even unlucky coolies, the gunfire overnight made the Japanese soldiers miserable.

In the second half of the night, the third platoon even ran to a distance of several tens of meters outside the Japanese camp and opened fire, causing the Japanese army to misunderstand that the independent battalion was going to break the camp and attack, and the whole army rushed out of the camp with a shout of 'wow', causing a lot of commotion.

What's more, at dawn that night, the captured Qing civilians and captives broke free from the ropes and fled from the Japanese camp with a fierce impact.

Although they were discovered by the Japanese army and shot to stop them, the coolies, who were already worse than death, stiffened their chests and faced the Japanese rifles fiercely, and rushed to the outside of the camp.

Rush out, maybe you will be killed.

But if they don't rush out, they will freeze to death in a few days, and they will die of exhaustion and illness, and finally they will be abandoned in the mountains and forests and become food for wild beasts.

Seeing this change, the soldiers of the third platoon of the independent battalion, who were firing guns around, immediately went down the mountain to attack and stop the Japanese army.

A fierce shootout broke out between the two sides, and the three platoons of soldiers of the Bruce Division of the Independent Battalion narrowly broke out of the Japanese encirclement before the Japanese army surrounded the large number of soldiers.

Of the 35 soldiers in the platoon, 17 died heroically.

However, there were about 500 coolies who escaped from the Japanese barracks, and in addition to the 50 or 60 coolie corpses that were stopped and shot by the Japanese army, only 33 people were intercepted by the Japanese in the camp.

In the early morning of the next day, the mules and horses, who had been disturbed by the night's rest, fell ill in large numbers.

The artillery wing of the Japanese army suddenly fell into a great dilemma.
