Chapter 12: The Siege
Zhang Erxiao is also a veteran who participated in the battle of Luo Wenyu, and Wang Dazhu has long had a friendship, Wang Platoon Commander saw the miserable appearance of Erxiao, and immediately rushed into anger, threw Zhang Erxiao and others to the back of the company, and led the troops up, he wanted to avenge his second brother!
The devil's pursuit force only has more than 20 people, if it is too little, in the middle of the night, the commander of the devil is not very relieved, there are too many people, and he is afraid that the convoy will not have enough manpower and will be exploited by the opponent. These two dozen devils were led by a devil lieutenant named Guiben, and chased Zhang Erxiao and them unhurriedly behind. The second lieutenant felt a cool cry in his heart, as if he had returned to the scene at the beginning of the year when he led his troops to sweep a village. The feeling at the beginning was just like this, although there were not many soldiers under His Excellency the Second Lieutenant, he could still have that feeling of mastering everything, and the opponent was completely vulnerable in front of him!
When attacking the village, only a few of those stupid Shina villagers dared to resist with rudimentary farming tools, and the others were all obedient like sheep at their own disposal! On that occasion, after cutting off the head of the strongest man in the village, the second lieutenant enjoyed his beautiful and sexy wife, and when he left, he gently cut the woman's delicate neck with his sword, and the second lieutenant's nervous emotions that had become a little nervous because of the war were released in the most powerful way.
It's the same today, the soldiers in front of them just rushed to flee for their lives, and the few shots they occasionally turned around to shoot were also amateurish, and in terms of their accuracy, they were not worthy of being called qualified soldiers at all. But aren't all the armies in China like this? The current pursuit, in the eyes of the ensign, was like a hunter hunting, chasing his prey all over the mountain. Second Lieutenant Guiben chuckled softly.
"Bang bang! Bang Bang Bang! The gunfire suddenly intensified, and a loud shout of killing sounded in front, and the reinforcements of the people of the branch were coming!
By the time the second lieutenant reacted, five or six of the soldiers around him had already fallen! "Hidden! Hide! "Second Lieutenant Guiben shouted to his soldiers, and by the time all the members of his squad had found hidden positions, two more people had already fallen, and Guiben's squad was reduced by a third of its strength at once!
"Shoot! Shoot! Second Lieutenant Guiben loudly gave the order to attack, and the Japanese Type 38 rifles and crooked-handled light machine guns rang out regularly, and the three grenadiers in the squad also began to attack.
Wang Dazhu led his platoon to shoot a row of guns at the place where the devils put their guns, and after knocking down several devils, the devils' counterattack came, and the grenadiers also came to join in the fun. Although there are many people in a platoon, they have all been trained, but in the final analysis, the training time is too short, there are many recruits in the platoon, and the marksmanship of the soldiers is generally not very good. This is also understandable, there are not so many bullets for practice, and the soldiers who lack live-ammunition drills go to the battlefield, and their marksmanship is of course incomparable with the battle-hardened devils. Fortunately, there are more than twice as many people in Wang Dazhu's hands as devils, and more guns can make up for the target, and now on the surface, there is still a draw with the devil, and the two sides are shooting each other vividly.
After a few minutes, the devil couldn't resist. As soon as the two platoons on the left and right came up, and as soon as the machine guns in the three platoons were exerted, the Imperial soldiers of the second lieutenant were immediately unable to parry.
Qian Sixi's reconnaissance platoon also came up from behind, and Gao Quan directly ordered Qian Sixi's reconnaissance platoon and a dozen people from the company headquarters to form a fourth force, and bring the company's heavy machine guns to attract the devil's car team and prevent the devil from sending reinforcements again. Once a devil has a force surrounded, reinforcements from all directions are endless, which is the old tradition of devils. Although the number of this devil army surrounded by three platoons is not large, it is a classic battle of annihilation, and Gao Quan naturally hopes that his troops will use this battle to show confidence and kill all of these devils.
The devil squadron leader really sent reinforcements, and another squad of devils came up to reinforce. Gao Quan's three-in-a-row encirclement was not originally surrounded on all sides, and the squad reinforced by the devil smoothly plunged into the encirclement, and was suppressed into a narrow area along with the remaining half of Guiben Taijun's team. The devil's marksmanship is accurate, there are crooked machine guns, grenadiers, Gao Quan's three platoons are also equipped with three heavy machine guns, plus everyone has a grenade in their waists, the number of people is nearly twice as large as the devil, the devil has doubled the number of troops, and still has not gotten rid of the situation of being surrounded, and even due to the increase in personnel density, the casualties have increased a lot.
These soldiers under Gao Quan, there are few live ammunition shooting, inaccurate marksmanship, and when there are few devils, it is really not easy to stop people, but now there are suddenly so many devils, and the territory occupied has not expanded, and the soldiers still shoot in the original direction, and the probability of hitting people has naturally doubled! By the time Ensign Guiben figured out this truth, the nearly fifty people in their two squads had once again become the men of a squad, and the rest of them were led by Wang Dazhu to reduce the burden on the devils.
Devil Squadron Leader Yoshio Kameda is now angry and anxious. He had already sent out two squads, and the gunfire over there had not yet abated in the slightest, and the people who had sent them had not returned to deliver the letter, so he didn't know how the battle was going there. The road was blown up by several large craters by mines, and cars could not pass through at all, and it was still early in the morning, and it was impossible for reinforcements to come before dawn!
The most infuriating thing is the defenders in Yutian City, Captain Kameda killed people who didn't believe that Yutian County didn't know that their convoy had been ambushed! He has already asked His Excellency Wing Commander Dazuo for reinforcements, and Dazuo will definitely inform the nearest Yutian garrison, these damn guys, a small county town, have made them corrupt and degenerate and have no fighting spirit, so that they don't even have reinforcements for their own convoys, have they forgotten that their cars are all loaded with supplies from their Yutian garrison?
Of course, Captain Kameda wanted to send someone to pick up those two squads, but he now had less than two squads, and most of these people were not combat soldiers, they were all drivers, technicians, accountants, cooks and other logistics personnel, and his own squadron was not a combat unit in the first place. The Captain here doesn't even have enough soldiers who can really fight, so what do you ask him to use to rescue those two squads?
Those drivers and cooks also all fired guns, all of them gathered around the car, these people have practiced shooting before going to the battlefield, although the military technology is not very good, there is still a certain ability to protect themselves at critical moments, Captain Kameda now just hopes that the sky will light up soon, and the two squads can keep going, and keep the attention of the people on their side, and don't come to the idea of hitting the convoy.
It was in this situation that Gao Quan arrived with Qian Sixi and most of his reconnaissance platoon and dozens of people composed of the company. The devil's convoy was parked on the road, the lights were bright, and there were more than a dozen large potholes of different sizes on the road in front of it, and there were twenty or thirty devils lying next to the convoy. As soon as Gao Quan entered the firing range, he immediately used the woods next to the highway as a cover, and launched an attack on the devils with long and short guns, and the devils attached to the car as cover and stubbornly fought back.
