Chapter 13: Datong Strategy (2)
The battle to ambush the cavalry of the Yue army lasted only eight minutes before it ended, and the five cavalry squadrons of the Yue army were completely annihilated, with no wounded or prisoners. Even the vanguard of Han Yunhua's ghost cavalry was annihilated by the heavy machine gun company that was ambushed in front. It is not that the combat effectiveness of the cavalry of the army is weak, but in the face of modern steel warfare, the cavalry has come to the end of the sunset, and the result can be imagined by using the cavalry to attack the machine gun position.
In front of the jet of steel flames, the huge and fragile horses and knights of the target could only be reduced to pieces of flesh and blood. The speed with which this battle ended and the disparity in the proportion of casualties between the enemy and us was beyond everyone's expectations, 659:19, I have to say that Han Yunhua inadvertently created another miracle.
Leaving a platoon of soldiers to collect the panicked war horses, the others immediately rushed to a valley two kilometers away, because the enemy to be ambushed this time was mechanized infantry and armored soldiers in trucks, so Han Yunhua adjusted his strategy this time. In the past, a large number of people had to be reserved to block the ambush, but now as long as the cars or armored vehicles in the front and rear rows are blown up, then this mechanized infantry will completely lose its strong mobility, and can only be reduced to ordinary infantry.
The valley where Han Yunhua ambushed is 2 kilometers long, and there are steep slopes more than ten meters high on both sides of the valley, and the valley is not very wide, only 7~8 meters wide, and two cars can drive side by side. Han Yunhua first laid out thousands of mines 400 meters away from the mouth of the valley, and arranged many controllable explosive packs on the cliffs on both sides. All the fighters were lying in ambush on both sides of the valley, each with 20 grenades, and all the grenades must be thrown out within 5 minutes of hearing the order to attack.
Since the reinforcements were about to come, Li Dayong was not acting there, so Han Yunhua ordered a battalion to take Tianzhen County in the shortest possible time.
As soon as the Eighth Route Army was ready, the vanguard convoy of the Yue Army had already driven into the valley, and in the distance, a song was heard in the convoy of the Yue Army: "Rush to the high mountains and let the corpses fill the ravines; Go to the sea and let the floating corpses float all over the ocean......" The song floats on the ancient road in the mountains of northern Shanxi in the harsh winter, but it also has a bit of majesty and generosity to die. People may not understand what the army is singing, but Han Yunhua, who is proficient in Chinese, Russian, and English, knows the meaning of this song, this is the military song of the army, and this is also an extremely rare military song with corpses and blood in the songs of various [***] brigades in the modern world? The same is true of military songs, and the same is true of slogans. Moreover, Han Yunhua, who has studied the military in depth, also knows that the mantra of the officers and men during the war is: "Let's meet again at the Yasukuni Shrine!" Han Yunhua secretly determined that he would definitely let these beasts with no surname drive them into their Bird Country Shrine.
Through the telescope, Han Yunhua had already seen the convoy of the top soldiers of the Yue Army. Holding the binoculars, Han Yunhua carefully counted one after another from near and far, a total of 5 armored vehicles in front of him opened the road without tanks, followed by 107 large trucks full of soldiers, and finally 5 armored vehicles broke off. Grenadier canisters and heavy machine guns were all placed with the vehicle. On each car, a light machine gun was mounted. Each vehicle carries about 20 infantrymen, which should be two standard elite brigades of the Japanese army.
After counting, Han Yunhua glanced at Shen Yuquan, who was full of worry, and said softly: "Old man, don't worry!" Without three thirds, how dare you go to Liangshan. I am fully sure that I will defeat this enemy, and if they don't know whether they are alive or dead, it will be no problem to wipe them all out.
More than 110 cars, armored vehicles drove on the mountain road, and the length of the front and rear was very long, about a kilometer.
"It's coming, it's coming!" The convoy of top soldiers of the army was in front, and the main force was behind, heading towards Han Yunhua's location, and the front convoy had already entered the ambush circle of the Eighth Route Army.
Since the entrance was a mountain beam, the speed of the enemy convoy naturally slowed down, the distance between the front and rear began to shorten, and the formation gradually became denser.
Seeing that the enemy's convoy was becoming more and more concentrated, Han Yunhua knew that the net was about to be closed. The only thing he hopes for now is to see all the devils enter the net. It didn't take long for Han Yunhua to finally see through the binoculars that all the troops of the Yue Army had entered the encirclement. Han Yunhua no longer hesitated and dropped the telescope. snatched the signal gun in Shen Yuquan's hand and "touched, touched" the sky twice, and the two green signal flares quickly rose into the air.
Seeing the attack signal, Wang Jian spit out the grass roots in his mouth, grabbed the shell gun, and shouted: "Fight!" The engineer platoon commander next to him pressed the detonator fiercely on the spot.
With a few loud bangs, the three armored vehicles of the enemy's top troops rolled down the hill. At the same time as the sappers detonated the explosive packets, the troops who had already been in ambush on both sides of the hillside pushed away the dead branches and grass that had been covered by their bodies, set up light and heavy machine guns, and sprayed angry bullets from the muzzles of the black holes towards the road, and nearly 30,000 grenades roared down with the call of death, and the grenades in the sky were like a rain of bullets.
The soldiers of the 5th Division were indeed well-trained and heard the sound of explosives packets exploding. The main force of the devils in the back team was only slightly stunned for a while, and immediately began to act. As the cars braked, the ghost soldiers jumped out of the cars one after another. Look for cover and start shooting. The light machine guns mounted on the cars also began to turn their muzzles and suppress the fire on the slopes on both sides. It's a pity that they fell into Han Yunhua's trap, and their fate was already doomed from the moment they entered the net.
30,000 grenades exploded together, no matter what time it can be regarded as a big deal, I saw that the army could not even find a place to hide, the violent explosion threw cars, guns, and even the corpses of the soldiers into the air, gunshots, explosions, shouts of killing, screams of death, and groans of injuries became a .........
Basically all the cars burned and caught fire, and the devils who jumped out of the cars tried to seize the hillside and establish positions, but there were mines everywhere, and the explosions were accompanied by screams, and the ups and downs continued. Half of the devil's arms and legs are flying in the air, and he looks very good.
Han Yunhua's intention was obvious, that is, to take advantage of the eagerness of the army to quickly reinforce and use steel bullets to completely eliminate the devils of these two brigades. The first wave of grenade strikes did not completely destroy the devils. But only one of the surviving armored vehicles of the devils remained, and all the cars were blown up, and more than half of the soldiers were killed or wounded.
The commander of the 11th Wing of the 9th Infantry Brigade of the 5th Division, Yuichiro Nagano, was already cool and cool in his heart, and he knew that he had fallen into the trap carefully arranged by the [***] team. Looking at the posture, ambushing yourself is definitely the main force of the main force of the [***] team, the elite of the elite. It should be the most elite Central Army in the [***] team, judging by the number of automatic firepower, the strength should be 2 integrated divisions.
Yuichiro Nagano hurriedly asked the adjutant next to him to send a report to Seishiro Itagaki of the Fifth Division, the commander of the Fifth Division, asking for help. The adjutant searched left and right, only to find that the communicator and the radio had already been blown into a pile of flesh and blood.
Seeing that there was no hope for help, Yuichiro Nagano did not dare to delay a little, and immediately got up to collect troops to organize a counterattack. Finally gathered more than 500 people, Yuichiro Nagano immediately commanded these people to rush to the hilltop position where the Mengji anti-Japanese detachment was located.
It should be said that Yuichiro Nagano's disposition is correct, as long as one place is breached, then the ambush circle will be useless, and the surrounded troops will be able to break out of the encirclement. It's a pity that the opponent he met was Han Yunhua, a military genius from later generations, how could the wisdom and ability of a great Zuo be compared to the decades of combat philosophy in later generations.
What's more, the troops commanded by Han Yunhua are not as good as the Kwantung Army in terms of numbers, tactical literacy and warfare
The will to fight is only stronger than that of the Kwantung Army. Even in terms of weapons and ammunition, which has always been the weakness of the Eighth Route Army, Han Yunhua is only stronger than the army. Both sides have no heavy weapons, but Han Yunhua has an absolute advantage in automatic firepower, coupled with the favorable terrain, the possibility of Nishimura Riwen Daisa winning is very small.
Before the more than 500 troops who rushed up rushed up the hill could they be hit by hundreds of machine guns, and then they were attacked by explosives bags placed on the hillside, and more than 500 soldiers suffered heavy casualties.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Han Yunhua ordered the trumpeter to blow the trumpet. The Yue army thought that the Eighth Route Army was going to fight with them with bayonets, and rushed towards the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army in groups of three or five with bayonets, but they were greeted not by steel guns and bayonets, but by machine guns spraying steel flames.
The soldiers with sufficient ammunition greeted the stubborn resistance of the Japanese army with bullets and grenades. Han Yunhua would not let the soldiers give up shooting to fight the enemy hand-to-hand in order to save bullets.
After a while, the resistance of the army became weaker and weaker, and soon the gunfire on the battlefield stopped. Except for the occasional sporadic gunfire, the whole battle was basically over. After a while, the excited cheers of the soldiers came from the battlefield. Even Shen Yuquan, who had always been at the top of Mount Tai and did not change his face, couldn't help but say excitedly: "Win!" Win! Win! ”
The battle ended in two hours, which made Han Yunhua very satisfied. Overjoyed, Han Yunhua strictly ordered the troops to quickly clean up the battlefield and evacuate quickly, and at the same time immediately ordered Shen Yuquan to send a report to Li Dayong asking him to come to the round immediately, and the troops should be transferred as soon as possible.
As soon as Han Yunhua finished cleaning the battlefield, Li Dayong led his troops to come, along with more than 2,000 "[***]" dressed in tatters.
It turned out that after Li Dayong broke through the county seat of Tianzhen, he rescued a group of [***] prisoners in a concentration camp, and it happened that Li Dayong had captured a lot of things, so he brought these people over, and by the way, he also asked these people to help transport things.
Seeing these new forces, Han Yunhua was secretly happy. In Han Yunhua's eyes, these people are the living force of the Mengji Anti-Japanese Detachment. He didn't speak either, just let the people move with the big force.
