Chapter 120: Improper Command

Zhai Li led more than 30 people to chase more than 20 Japanese soldiers, and he was in an advantage in numbers, and what made people feel somewhat reassuring was that Zhai Li and his platoon were definitely stronger than the Japanese army in terms of weapons.

Japan's artillery was basically a weapon of self-defense, at most the 38 rifle and the southern style pistol, and there were no other heavy weapons.

But even so, after a few guns had been in front of me for a while, I immediately followed with a platoon of guards to reinforce me at any time.

After all, I haven't seen Zhai Li's combat ability with my own eyes, he is a bandit in Damangshan, at most he fights guerrilla warfare, which cannot be compared with the combat method of the regular army.

The Japanese army did not have the burden of artillery trucks, so they naturally ran much faster, and they had been stationed in this area for a long time, and they were very familiar with the terrain and landforms.

Zhai Li snorted and gasped, and scolded: "little devil, you still play this game with Lao Tzu!" Lao Tzu can chase wolves in Damang Mountain, not to mention you kings who are beaten! ”

Lai San, who had been following him, came over and said, "Big boss, let's stop chasing, the little devil is in the dark, we are in the light, and the one who takes advantage must be the one who shoots the black gun." ”

Zhai Li said angrily: "How many times have I told you, Lao Tzu is now a platoon leader, and you are also a fucking squad leader, why are you still a big boss?" We are not bandits in Damangshan now, we are an expeditionary force! Got it! ”

Lai San: "I understand, can I not understand, I'm not in a hurry to talk about it." Platoon commander, I think we'll wait for the battalion commander to come up, the little devil can't tell where to hide, it's not cost-effective for us to take a gun on the top of the head like this! ”

Zhai Li: "When the battalion commander comes up, the little devils have all gone to grandma's house!" If you kid are afraid, go back, Lao Tzu can destroy these turtle grandsons single-handedly! ”

Lai San didn't dare to talk back again, according to his previous experience, if he talked back again, it must be a big mouth to serve, so he had to follow Zhai Li forward.

This area is full of high and low mountains, and although there are no large mountains, these small slopes are continuous, making them the most suitable places for ambush warfare, and there are suitable places for ambush warfare almost every other section.

These Japanese artillerymen found that there were not many Chinese soldiers chasing them, so they stopped running, and they wanted to eat this group of pursuers who did not know whether they were alive or dead.

This is a small road, and this Japanese artillery team does not have to take this road at all if they are in a hurry to return to the large army. They set up ambushes at multiple vantage points around the path, preparing to fight an ambush here.

Zhai Li was not blindly reckless, and the Japanese soldiers suddenly disappeared, which made him a little suspicious. Zhai Li waved his hand and ordered: "Brothers, the bullets are loaded and scattered!" ”

Zhai Li didn't do anything wrong, but he chose the wrong place, in such a narrow path, even if he scattered the formation, where could he go? More than thirty hills and eight hills, squeezing and rubbing on this sheep intestine road.

Halfway through their journey, suddenly, boom! A gunshot rang out, and one of the soldiers at the forefront was shot and fell.

"Heavy, shoot back! Suppress the devil's firepower! Zhai Li shouted, bang bang first! of continuous fire.

If it is in an ordinary plain terrain, these firepower configurations of the Japanese army, this style of play will not be able to occupy much advantage at all, and it will not be able to compete with Zhai Li for long.

But the current situation is different, the Japanese army is hiding behind the cover, and occupying the commanding heights and defending the danger, Zhai Li and his 30 or so people can't do it if they want to attack.

The most terrible thing is that more than 30 people are crowded on the sheep intestine path, and the Japanese army may be blinded to a target even if they have their eyes closed.

Bang! Bang! Bang! The Japanese army's Type 38 rifle continued to fire at a point, and someone around Zhai Li kept getting shot. Seeing such a situation, Zhai Li panicked a little and shouted: "Withdraw!" Remove! ”

Such a retreat opened their doors widely, and the Japanese no longer even needed to hide, so they stood up directly with their rifles, and kept shooting and hitting the running Chinese soldiers as they usually practice shooting.

Zhai Li heard Lai San shouting behind him: "Platoon leader, help me!" ”

When he looked back, it was Lai San who had been shot in the leg and fell to the ground. Zhai Li was just about to turn around and drag him, but he was immediately covered by several bullets from the 38 rifle.

By the time I took the guard platoon to Zhai Li, one of Zhai Li's platoons had already lost half of its strength, and several wounded on the ground had also been taken away by the Japanese army.

I looked at the dead and wounded brothers, loaded the bullet with a bang, and put it on Zhai Li's head: "You are such a bastard! Attack lightly! In this kind of terrain, you dare to attack? I should have shot you on the spot! ”

Tan Weimin, who was behind him, said: "Battalion commander, are we still chasing after us?" They didn't go very far, either. ”

Zhai Li: "I have caused the brothers to lose their lives, and I am willing to accept the punishment, but, battalion commander, if we don't chase after them, those captured brothers will have no lives!" ”

I said angrily, "What are you chasing? If you chase it again, you will catch up with the base camp of the Japanese army! Remove! ”

This battle was fought to the extreme, and I thought that I would be able to pull back for a while, but I didn't expect that in addition to getting a few guns that were about to be scrapped, I lost half a platoon of troops instead, and I was also captured by others A few wounded.

Of course I didn't collapse Zhai Li, this is not a platoon commander's fault, it is my fault. It was my miscommand that made what should have been a war of annihilation almost turn into a war of annihilation.

We returned to my 1st battalion dejectedly, and the 1st battalion was now a depressing sight, not counting the dead, and full of wounded soldiers wounded by shells. Because when the shelling came, the whole battalion was in a mess.

Our ambulances were the busiest people at this time, because this battle left us with too many seriously injured soldiers to be treated, and it was a luxury for those who were hit by shrapnel to want a minor injury.

Geng Huaiqi was not too embarrassed, because when the shell blew up, he was laughing at the Japanese army just like Cao Cao laughed at Zhuge Liang in Huarong Dao, but he was beaten by the Japanese army's surprise attack a second later.

Geng Huaiqi: "Camp Commander An, if you need anything, just mention it, as long as I can help." ”

Me: "Master Geng, thank you, we ......"

I stopped talking, because a group of people were walking towards this side, and it was Huang Wenlie, Wang Tingyue, and the guards of the regiment headquarters who were hugging each other.

"Master Geng, don't come unharmed." Wang Tingyue showed his enthusiasm at this time.

Geng Huaiqi: "Thank you Commander Huang, Supervisor Wang led the troops to relieve the siege, thank you Geng!" ”

Huang Wenlie looked at the mess everywhere, his face was very ugly, and said: "Master Geng doesn't have to be polite, my regiment is the unit responsible for the follow-up reinforcements, and the responsibilities are all internal affairs. ”

Wang Tingyue: "What's going on with Commander An's troops?" Fought with the main force of the Japanese army? ”

Me: "Our army was ambushed by the Japanese ......"

Wang Tingyue interrupted me and said, "What happened in that battle just now? On the way here, I heard that the battalion commander took the lead in pursuing the remnants of the Japanese army! But the results don't seem to be ideal. ”

Me: "Tuanzao, Supervisor Wang, it's my fault. It was my underestimation of the situation that resulted in more than a dozen of our brothers killed in the battle, and a few more ...... captured."
