Chapter 106: Mid-ambush
As the first and only fully mechanized unit in the brigade, the reconnaissance battalion has always regarded itself as the trump card of the 145th Brigade, and the source of the reconnaissance troops is also the elite selected from various units. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
In order to recruit talents from all over the world, Li Yong often went to other troops to dig corners, how could such an excellent team composed of excellent soldiers be burdened with such a big black cauldron for no reason.
"Of course I didn't mean that, isn't it a little impatient to wait, and I ask Camp Commander Li not to think too much."
Sun Dabiao regretted that he wanted to slap his mouth, why did he owe it so much, knowing that Li Yong was domineering and an old qualification, and he still spoke like this in front of him.
Although the troops under the command of the two are units directly under the brigade headquarters, the cavalry battalion is a unit that has just been promoted, and there is still a gap between it and a unit like the reconnaissance battalion that has always grown up with the brigade commander.
Although both of them are major battalion commanders, Li Yong is an old qualification after all, and he is the brigade commander's fellow countryman, and he has a good relationship with several regiment commanders.
"Why, I can't hold my breath, just wait slowly, the devil will definitely go here."
Li Han said to the two battalion commanders with a smile, of course, although he said so, in fact, he didn't know the bottom in his heart, the only thing that was certain was that the Japanese army would definitely go here, because there was an official road here.
It would take at least two days to march from Guojiatun at a normal pace, but it only took a day and a half for Taro Hirata, which proved that he still cared about time, and he would definitely not choose another unfamiliar road on the return trip.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for the fighters of the reconnaissance battalion to report that the devil's baggage team had appeared, and the vanguard was less than a kilometer away from their position.
The devil came, Li Yong and Sun Dabiao consciously ignored the previous small unpleasant incident, the reason for this is that they will have these small contradictions, not all because the devil's baggage and heavy troops have been delayed, which makes the two battalion commanders who are eager to fight impatient.
In fact, there are not many more than 500 people, and there is a long line of more than 100 people in the marching column, but the marching line of 500 people of the Japanese baggage soldiers is at least more than a mile long.
In the middle, there are seventy or eighty carts drawn by mules alone, and there are more than ten of them, and I don't know what the devil is transporting, and why he needs so many carts.
Since the devil is here, Li Han is ready to let Li Yong and Sun Dabiao do it, this time he doesn't plan to sneak attack, these are the devil's baggage soldiers, and they are put together temporarily.
If the two most mobile main forces in his hands can't even win the baggage troops improvised by the devils, then Li Han has no choice but to let Li Yong and Sun Dabiao go back and be a big soldier.
Taro Hirata was very happy, His Excellency the General gave him five days, but he was able to complete the task in only three days.
The price is just that the consumption of heavy soldiers is a bit large, and they are all tired and staggering, and even many soldiers can't even open their eyes, and they rely entirely on mules and horses to drag them away.
Fortunately, the phrase "old horses know the way" knows no borders, and these mules and horses of the little devil are all trained, not only will they not collapse easily on the battlefield, but they also know the way back and forth from Duolun to the paddock.
For the performance of the baggage soldiers, Hirata Taro was very satisfied.
He had already decided that on the day when he really became the captain of the infantry group, he would apply to His Excellency the General to transfer these men of the baggage troops to his brigade. Just by virtue of the spirit of not being afraid of hardship or tiredness, the soldiers of the baggage troops are already stronger than the soldiers of the vast majority of field troops.
"Boom!"
Taro Hirata was planning his actions after becoming an infantry brigade, when suddenly more than a dozen shells fell on the team without warning, blowing up the good imperial warriors that Shao Zuo had pretended.
"Kill!"
Before Hirata Shaosa Yaga could return the exit, another thunderous explosion of shouts and killings came from all around.
The first to rush out were the soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion, who drove out directly in military trucks, and more than 30 two-and-a-half-ton cars rumbled towards the devil's ranks.
Although the military truck is not as good as the armored car, it still has some protective ability, but as long as the bullet of the devil hits the vital point, the scene of rushing up is also quite scary, and more than 30 vehicles were dispatched at one time, and Taro Hirata already felt bad when the car appeared.
"Damn the Shina people, where did they come from?"
Rehe is already the territory of the imperial army, so a team of more than 1,000 people suddenly appeared in the territory of Weichang County, and the troops of the imperial army did not receive any news. Or is this army popping out of the ground?
Although Taro Hirata has always hoped to fight the Shina Army on the battlefield, at least he has to wait until he becomes the captain of the infantry brigade, and now he is not leading a combat unit.
Although the performance of these baggage soldiers was very good, they were still baggage soldiers after all, and in the face of the sudden appearance of the enemy, they lost their square inches in an instant.
Not only that, but there is also a huge gap between the equipment of the baggage troops and the combat units, especially since they are still improvised, which is even worse.
More than 500 people were armed with only a dozen machine guns and a single slap of grenadiers, and there were no mortars, which directly made the automobile units of the reconnaissance battalion drive the prestige of tanks.
Moreover, due to the continuous march, many baggage soldiers have exhausted their physical strength to the limit, and even the end of the rifle is very difficult, how can they be expected to fight the enemy in such a state.
It was not until the reconnaissance battalion was about to rush into their ranks that Taro Hirata reluctantly organized two hundred soldiers who had changed to rifles and stepped forward to block the attack, and at the same time ordered the captain of the automobile squadron to continue to gather his troops and establish a second line of defense with carts and automobiles.
From the very beginning of the battle, Hirata Taro had no intention of breaking through, his soldiers were all infantry, but the enemy was cavalry and automobile soldiers.
Therefore, he made up his mind from the beginning to block the attack of the Chinese here, waiting for the support of the aviation and His Excellency the General, the baggage brigade has more than 500 people, there are so many imperial warriors, and with his military talent that is not weaker than a wing commander, it is very simple to block the attack of the Chinese people.
Moreover, at the speed of aviation, it will be possible to reach the battlefield in an hour at most, and at that time he will be able to take the opportunity to launch a counterattack and crush this bold Chinese army.
The devil's only few grenadiers continued to fire grenades at the attacking convoy, explosions kept ringing in the ears, and many grenades hit the cars.
However, the rest of the cars continued to move rapidly, not caring about the blows of the Japanese grenadiers.
At this time, the cavalry battalion also began to charge, the reconnaissance battalion in front had blocked most of the devil's firepower, the cavalry battalion soldiers drove the war horse to gallop wildly, and the cavalry that had been launched was like a torrent, and soon overtook the scout's car team and took the lead in the devil's team.
In normal times, Sun Dabiao may be more tolerant in view of Li Yong's strength, but once he arrives on the battlefield, he can't care so much, isn't it to kill the enemy when he goes to the battlefield, these are all war exploits, and whoever grabs it is whoever.
"Damn, Sun Dabiao, this kid looks honest, I didn't expect honest people to be more terrifying, can he take down so many devils with a cavalry battalion!"
Li Yong sat in the car and couldn't help cursing when he saw the soldiers of the cavalry battalion rushing to the front of their reconnaissance battalion.
Although he said that, Li Yong still unconsciously stepped on the accelerator, but he seemed to have forgotten that the accelerator had already been stepped on by him to the end.
Besides, although Sun Dabiao has not yet reached the realm of bearded tigers, he is at least five big and three thick, and his face is relatively fierce. Even in peacetime, if a person like Sun Dabiao did not join the army, he would definitely be a big brother in the underworld, and I don't know where Li Yong could see that Sun Dabiao was an honest person.
Even the devil, who is known for his brutality and brutality, when he sees Sun Dabiao's cavalry at this moment, he feels like an Asura from hell, fierce and bloodthirsty, looking at the momentum of the charge, he doesn't seem to want to give up until he is eaten alive, not to mention Sun Dabiao, the cavalry leader.
The neighing of horses, the sonorous sound of sabers!
Hundreds of cavalry went up to give the devil a pair, and they combed the devil's baggage with a huge comb.
It's just that Taro Hirata can't bear this price, and in just such a round of effort, his loss is more than a team.
When the cavalry battalion began the second wave of charge, the reconnaissance battalion finally arrived, they were much more bloody and ferocious than the cavalry, after putting the soldiers in the car out of the car, the driver drove the military card in the ranks of the devils and rampaged through the team, turning the entire battlefield into a car accident scene.
Not only were the devils killed and injured countless times, but even the mules and horses pulling the carts were hit by the car and killed more than a dozen horses. These trucks, which are usually only responsible for transporting supplies and soldiers, have become sharp weapons for killing people in the blink of an eye.
The soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion continued to shoot behind the military truck, and the grenadiers and mortars quickly set up positions and fired together.
Hirata Taro took more than 200 devils who could shake when he walked, and barely blocked it for a few minutes, and it was so bad that the cavalry battalion and the reconnaissance battalion were ravaged continuously, the cavalry's sabers were already stained with the blood of devils, and the front of the car was covered with pieces of meat with the smell of blood.
Not to mention the baggage soldiers, even the combat units of the Japanese army could not withstand such a blow, and the devils let out a scream of ghosts crying wolves, turned around, hugged their heads and scurried, and looked for carts as cover.
The devils, who moved a little slower, were either smashed to pieces by the rain of bullets from the reconnaissance battalion, or their heads were cut off by the cavalry's sabres, or they were crushed into meatloaf by cars.
The devil soldiers wanted to find cover to stop our army, but in the middle of this big road, where to find some cover, in the end, they could only rely on their own carts and cars to transport their baggage and shoot at our soldiers.
