Chapter 54: The Yaziling Ambush (Part II)
After the two battles of exterminating the horse bandits and raiding Zhangzhuang, the number of weapons and ammunition of the Hutoushan guerrilla detachment is probably the most abundant among the company-level troops of the 772nd Regiment at present. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Even so, the detachment also handed over a lot of weapons to support other friendly troops.
Zhao Tiehu, who was going down the mountain this time to kill the little devil and return to the horse pistol, also deliberately ordered the soldiers to carry more weapons and ammunition when he went down the mountain. In Zhao Tiehu's opinion, if the number of people is not enough, then use ammunition to make up.
Liu Cheng, who led the ambush on the side of the valley, could only command about one platoon of troops. But he knew that the troops he commanded at the moment were only afraid that any company commander in the regiment would be blushing when he saw it.
Taking into account the need for the troops to move quickly, the partisan detachment that came down this time did not carry the captured heavy machine guns. But in the case of light machine guns, Zhao Tiehu brought four in one go. The number of machine guns alone, I'm afraid that the companies are not so generous.
In addition to the light machine gun, Zhao Tiehu also brought two grenadier canisters. Even many fighters think that this is a small hand cannon. But they all know that this kind of grenadier is also very powerful when it is ready.
While waiting for the little devil to enter the ambush circle, Liu Cheng was personally in charge of a light machine gun. In addition to this, the other two machine guns also opened fire. The crossfire formed by the three machine guns continued to shoot the Japanese puppet troops on the mountain road below.
It's just that compared to the threat of machine guns, the most terrifying thing for the Japanese puppet army at this moment is the grenades carried by the soldiers of the detachment. According to Liu Cheng's order, these fighters needed to throw three of the four grenades they were carrying in the shortest possible time.
Nearly thirty fighters, each throwing three is close to a hundred. In such a narrow valley passage, the lethality of a grenade volley can be imagined. In the face of this hail-like grenade attack, many little devils were also dumbfounded.
Even though Miyamoto Taro has experienced many life and death tests, but looking at the grenades and explosions falling from the sky, all he can do is to be pressed to the ground by the soldiers around him and dare not make any movements.
'Yaga! Damn, these dirt roads dare to set up an ambush, and when they go back, they must send heavy troops to surround and suppress them! ā
Feeling the sound of the explosion in his ears, Taro Miyamoto, who felt a trace of remorse in his heart, knew that he had made the mistake of making a rash mistake tonight. But he still believes that he will wash away this shame sooner or later.
The Japanese puppet army, who was chasing Zhao Tiehu and the others in front, heard the fierce gunfire and explosions behind them, and no matter how stupid they were, they knew that the main force was ambushed. Second Lieutenant Aida was even more shocked and said, "Retreat, retreat!" Hurry back! ā
After ordering the remaining little devils around him to retreat, the puppet army that was rushed to the front to attack by them naturally would not continue to move forward. What's more, as soon as the gunfire rang out on the mountain, Tie Dan also pulled the machine gun he was responsible for.
The sound of gunfire made the attacking puppet army lie down en masse again. Watching the little devil turn around and run, no matter how stupid they are, they know that if they don't run at this time, they will really die here.
The three rounds of grenade attacks ended, and the Japanese puppet troops who entered the ambush circle undoubtedly suffered heavy casualties. But even so, pushing away the corpse of the soldier who was blocking shrapnel for himself, Miyamoto Taro quickly ordered: "Launch a counterattack on the spot!" ā
Some of the surviving Japanese soldiers quickly found a good shooting spot in the valley and began to counterattack Liu Cheng and others who were ambushed on the mountain. The mortars and grenadiers carried by the Japanese army were also erected at the first time.
Seeing that the Japanese army under the mountain began to prepare for a counterattack, Liu Cheng also shouted at the right time: "Aim at the artillery of the little devils, kill them first, and don't let them set up the artillery." Concentrate your firepower and take them out! ā
In Liu Cheng's roar, the three machine guns all pointed their guns at the little devil artillery and grenadiers on the mountain road. And the machine gunners of the little devils also aimed their guns at the machine guns of the Eighth Route Army on the mountain, hoping to suppress the firepower of the Eighth Route Army.
Zhao Tiehu, who was originally acting as a lure in front, saw that the little devils could still launch a counterattack in an orderly manner in such a stunned situation, and felt that these little devils were difficult, so he naturally didn't want to let these little devils fight back smoothly.
After glancing at Li Hao and Tie Dan behind him, Zhao Tiehu said directly: "You two stay here, don't attack easily." I'll go ahead and take a look, these little devils are really tenacious! It's all like this, and they still refuse to retreat! ā
After saying this, Zhao Tiehu carried the bag that Li Hao had given him earlier, and ran quickly along the side of the valley. As for the rifle, he also threw it to Li Hao for safekeeping.
In Zhao Tiehu's view, in this case of poor vision, it is easier to expose the position when shooting. In contrast, if you can reach a throwing grenade, it is easier to hide where you are.
After all, it is difficult to judge the trajectory of the grenade's flight, and when you see a grenade in general, you can only roughly judge where the grenade was thrown. If it's night, it's even more difficult to tell.
The Japanese puppet army, which had already launched a counterattack, was somewhat relieved to see that the Eighth Route Army had only set up an ambush on the side of the valley. This also means that at least one of them is still safe, and they can also form a confrontation with the ambushed Eighth Route Army.
Most importantly, as the two sides began to shoot at each other, Miyamoto Taro keenly noticed that there did not seem to be many troops of the Eighth Route Army ambushing them. That gave them a great opportunity to fight back.
Even if this ambush caused them heavy losses, as long as they could annihilate these ambushed Eighth Route Army, I believe it would still be a great credit to him. It was with the mentality of atonement for his sins that Miyamoto Taro still refused to order a retreat.
With the little devil's mortar, it was finally successfully erected, and a little devil stuffed the shell into the barrel. After a whistling, a cannonball also landed precisely on the ambush unit.
An explosion sounded, and a soldier lying on the explosion site was directly killed on the spot. The two fighters beside him were also dizzy from the explosion, and one of them even suffered a piece of shrapnel.
Just when Liu Cheng felt that the speed of these little devils' counterattack was so fast, Zhao Tiehu, who had already bypassed from the other side, also saw the scene of the little devils' artillery and began to shell his own troops.
'Damn, these little devils are really accurate! ā
While speaking, Zhao Tiehu took out a grenade from his pocket, removed the latch and snorted lightly, and threw it hard towards the place where the little devil artillery was. Even though it was nearly a hundred meters away from the artillery position, the grenade still hit accurately.
An explosion sounded, and the little devil who was about to throw a cannonball into the barrel immediately fell to the ground with a scream. The other two little devils who cooperated also suffered varying degrees of damage.
Liu Cheng, who was also a little anxious, was worried about not being able to destroy the little devil's artillery position. As a result, I saw the artillery of the little devil, and after receiving a grenade, he lost his combat effectiveness.
Seeing this scene, Liu Cheng couldn't help laughing and said, "Okay! The captain has finally made a move, comrades, work harder and fight devils! The captain has already come, and the little devil is going to be finished! ā
Even if he has not been partnered with Zhao Tiehu for a long time, Liu Cheng also admires the captain's combat ability very much. Although Liu Cheng didn't see where Zhao Tiehu was, he knew that as long as Zhao Tiehu made a move, there would still be a fight in this battle.
Sure enough, as the little devil's artillery position was destroyed, Miyamoto Taro also roared: "Quick, continue to rack up the cannon." Machine gunners, riflemen, fire cover! Grenadier, keep dropping bombs! ā
Taro Miyamoto was undoubtedly very angry that the artillery position was destroyed by a grenade. He just looked around, but he didn't know where the grenade came from. So much so that all he could do was to send additional troops to protect the artillery positions.
And Zhao Tiehu, who threw a grenade at this moment to solve the little devil's artillery position, naturally did not stop moving. In the process of moving, Zhao Tiehu took out grenades and grenades from his pocket as he ran.
Almost at a speed of several meters, throw it to the location of the little devil. This series of precise strikes made the Japanese puppet army preparing to counterattack equally miserable. What frightened them the most was that the grenade was thrown too accurately.
Looking at the troops who were blown up by the grenade and did not dare to raise their heads, as well as the attack that could not be organized at all, a lieutenant who stayed by Taro Miyamoto's side could only persuade: "Shaozuo, let's withdraw quickly!" It's too dangerous here! ā
'Can't be withdrawn!' If we continue to fight, I don't believe that these dirt roads can really wipe us all out here! ā
'Shaozuo, you can't fight anymore. If you continue to fight, I am afraid that Zhang Zhuang will be in danger again. More than half of the troops we brought with us have already been lost. If you don't withdraw now, you really won't be able to withdraw later! ā
The Japanese lieutenant who had tried so hard to persuade him knew very well that they had failed tonight. If the battle continues here, I am afraid that the troops that enter the valley tonight may really be wiped out here.
If such a thing really happens, it will also be a big problem for the Japanese army's deployment in Yushe. After all, their squadron went to Zhangzhuang to stabilize Zhangzhuang and the surrounding situation.
If this squadron is annihilated, then what is broken may be the Japanese army's deployment of the entire territory of Yushe. For this consequence, he believes that Miyamoto Taro should also be aware of it. At this time, you should also act on the opportunity!
