Chapter 82: Crossfire

According to Fu Zhiyong's previous assumption, the distance between the real duel with the Japanese army is about 150 meters to 50 meters, in order to resist the two rounds of attacks of the Japanese army, so the replenishment of ammunition is necessary, otherwise the amount of ammunition carried by the soldiers alone is simply not enough, and the Japanese army can consume them as long as a brigade-level charge.

The reason why Fu Zhiyong demarcated such an engagement area was mainly because the distance of 150 meters was probably the best distance for the Japanese army to find their camouflage position, and once the Japanese army reached this distance, Fu Zhiyong had to decisively order an attack immediately regardless of whether they found their camouflage position or not.

Because as long as the Japanese army discovers their camouflage position and shouts a warning, it will take less than five seconds for all the Japanese troops to lie down and hide, and it is impossible to give the Japanese army a surprise attack at that time, and the results of the battle will naturally be greatly reduced.

"Commander." At this time, a soldier who was previously in charge of reconnaissance ran back along the traffic trench, squatted beside Fu Zhiyong and shouted.

"What was the situation just now, why did you shoot? How many people have checked the little devil clearly? Fu Zhiyong reflexively sat in the trench and asked the soldier.

"I can see clearly, the devil probably has the appearance of a regiment, there are many people, and the vanguard is less than three miles away from us; We had just shot us, and we were going to return immediately after detecting the situation, but we had only retreated less than a mile before we collided with a small group of devil soldiers in the woods, and we had to shoot, damn, three brothers were killed at that time. The soldier picked up the important part and explained, and finally scolded a little unwillingly.

Originally, everything was carried out according to the standards that Zhao Hu had trained them before, and it could be completed smoothly from reconnaissance to retreat, but the Japanese army also sent a small team of reconnaissance soldiers, and they actually met on the way back from both sides.

"The devil has a wing...... This should be the vanguard of the devils, the rats pull the wooden shovel, it seems that the big head is still behind, by the way, what about the casualties of the brothers? Fu Zhiyong frowned and asked after thinking for a while.

"We went out in two classes, divided into four groups, and came back with a total of thirteen people, nine brothers...... Didn't come back. The soldier bit his lip after calculating in his mind, and said with a hard look bowed.

"Nine of them were sacrificed in one turn, hey...... It seems that the gap between us and the little devils is not only in weapons, but also in the quality of the soldiers. Fu Zhiyong said with a calm sigh.

"Captain! Head! One of the brothers crawled back...... Hurry up, let's get someone to help! Slow down......" Just as the soldier was about to say something, suddenly a soldier not far away exclaimed, and greeted loudly with joy.

"How! Where's the injury? When Fu Zhiyong heard that another soldier actually crawled back, he quickly stood up and ran over.

"Legs...... Fuck hit Lao Tzu on the thigh, ......hissed," the wounded soldier who was dragged into the trench immediately replied in pain holding a thigh that was constantly oozing blood.

"Are you sentient?" Fu Zhiyong immediately took a roll of bandages from a soldier's hand, casually removed his dirty hand that was pressed on the wound, covered it, and grabbed his foot and neck with one hand and gently moved it twice and asked.

"Yes! It fucking hurts, Commander......" the soldier replied, gritting his teeth.

"It's not a big deal, quick! Go and call the paramedics and the stretcher team, carry the person down first, you two hold down the wound for him, don't let him touch it with his hands! Fu Zhiyong saw that the person was not disabled, and his heart was half relieved, and he hurriedly commanded a few soldiers around him.

"Captain! Devil...... The devil is here! Just as the wounded soldier was being carried down, another sharp-eyed soldier suddenly screamed.

"Whoa......" With the soldier's shout, the soldiers who had been distracted and looked at this side immediately became alert again, and they all turned around and raised their guns to be vigilant against the Japanese vanguard in the distance who were walking out of the woods one after another.

Because the geographical environment of Xuancheng is more complicated, the mountains and forests are densely wooded, and the Japanese army from Guangde and Liyang only has a mountain road that is not spacious to travel heavy vehicles, and the Japanese army in order to prevent being ambushed by the Chinese army along the way, so there are three Japanese wings marching through the forest, because there is no need to detour, so one of the wings actually took the lead in reaching the periphery of Fu Zhiyong's defensive position.

"It's really fucking unresistant, ordering all ministries to carry out the predetermined plan, and no one is allowed to beat Lao Tzu nonsense." Fu Zhiyong raised his head and glanced out, then shouted and gave the order, and he immediately returned to his previous combat position.

"Regiment commander, look at the number of people, it should be the devil's reconnaissance unit!" At this time, Yu Hua ran over with his waist down, lay beside Fu Zhiyong, slowly looked up and observed.

"Well, the little devil is not a idiot, the strength of a wing actually only sent a squadron to fight the front station, even if we eat all of them, the little devil is only a little bit damaged, it doesn't help in big things, hum ......" Fu Zhiyong nodded and snorted coldly after speaking, and his gloomy face was about to drip water.

"So what are we going to do?" Yu Hua asked at a loss at this time.

Although Yu Hua is also the elite of the Central Military Police Teaching Corps, fighting is his strength, but it is too bad to say that commanding the troops to fight, after all, he turned out to be a corporal non-commissioned officer, and he was at the level of a squad leader. In other words, in this new regiment, only Fu Zhiyong, who graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy, was able to participate in the command department knowledge training of the German instructor system.

Although Yu Hua has now been directly promoted to the level of battalion commander by Fu Zhiyong, commanding the troops to fight is not something that can be made up in a moment and a half, and this has to be learned and honed in the process of combat, and now Fu Zhiyong does not have the energy to train them systematically.

"Yu Hua, you send someone to inform you, as long as the little devils do not approach a distance of 150 meters, the whole battalion is not allowed to open fire, even if they are close to the 150-meter cordon, they can only use rifles, light machine guns must not fire, to avoid prematurely exposing our full strength, in addition, you send someone to inform Chen San's sniper platoon, give me full firepower, kill these little devils who are sent to death, kill as many as I can." Fu Zhiyong put away the binoculars and turned his head to explain to Hua.

"But...... You can't kill a few little devils like this, do you want to see them run back? Yu Hua did not immediately greet his soldiers to convey Fu Zhiyong's order, but asked puzzledly.

"What's the use of these little devils just slaughtering them all, our goal is the big army behind, as long as there are our soldiers here to attack them, then they only have two choices, either because of Chen San's sparse firepower and directly press over, or just go back and wait for the big army to assemble and launch a full-scale attack, no matter which choice the little devil is, the initiative in this battle is in our hands, okay, don't delay the time, convey the order." Fu Zhiyong quickly and briefly explained, and then urged Yu Hua again, asking him to convey the order immediately.

After all, there is a serious lack of communication equipment in Fu Zhiyong's troops, and the transmission of information back and forth still has to rely on soldiers to run with their legs to convey, so it is much slower in speed, and now the Japanese army's vanguard squadron is only more than 400 meters away from Fu Zhiyong's front-line position, and it is estimated that when the messengers convey the order to the troops, the Japanese army's elite squadron is estimated to reach a distance of about 300 meters, plus a distance of 100 meters from the second line of defense, a total of about 400 meters. It happens to be the effective range of the Arisaka-style 38 rifle and the Zhongguan 79 rifle used by Chen San, although the ballistic error at this distance will be very large, and it is very difficult to hit the first shot, but as long as it hits, it will still be one shot and two holes, ensuring that the other party will lose its combat effectiveness, which is also Fu Zhiyong will give the attack order at this time when he takes this into account.

"Yes, Captain." After Yu Hua agreed, he turned around and explained to the surrounding soldiers, and then several soldiers ran out separately to convey Fu Zhiyong's order.

In less than three minutes, the sniper platoon located in the second line of defense opened fire scatteredly, and the bullets fired angrily flew straight towards the Japanese spear squadron that was searching for Fu Zhiyong in the distance.

"Puff...... Poof...... "After a round of fire from a sniper platoon of more than 30 people, eight or nine people from the Japanese spearhead squadron in the distance were immediately shot and fell to the ground.

Although the Japanese soldiers were ready to lie down and hide when they heard the gunshots, the bullet took less than two seconds to reach the front, and eight or nine slow-moving Japanese soldiers were immediately hit, screaming and falling to the ground and wailing, because the distance was too far, Fu Zhiyong and they couldn't see how many were killed and how many were injured.

"There is an ambush of the Chinese army! The troops all dispersed, ready to fight......" A Japanese squadron leader with the rank of captain immediately pulled out the command knife on his waist, lay on the ground, brandished the saber while directing the troops to disperse and hide, and began to organize the soldiers to prepare for a counterattack.

"I'm grass! Chen San: How did they fight? It took one round of shooting to defeat such a few little devils, and this little devil has learned well! Yu Hua stretched out his head and looked at it for a while, then scolded in a low voice.

"This result is no wonder Chen San's marksmanship, the alertness of the little devils is too high, as soon as the gunshot sounded, most of the soldiers of the little devils lay on the ground, it is already good to have such a result, after all, the Japanese army is deep in the open area, and the alertness is already very high, plus there was a skirmish just now, if the reaction is not fast, then they are not little devils, but a group of dead ghosts." Fu Zhiyong didn't even raise his head, while listening to the screams of the Japanese soldiers faintly coming from in the distance, he carefully checked the Chinese 79 rifle in his hand, and explained to Hua casually.
