Chapter 15: The Task of Luring the Enemy
If it was changed to before, when he was in the 45th Army, since Wang Jiantang led the soldiers with the superior number of soldiers, he must have rushed up against the devils, and used his big knife to cut down all the little devils to the ground one by one! It's the most enjoyable way to kill devils! However, since joining the 500 Division, Wang Jiantang's previous concept has changed. This unit is more focused on the lives of soldiers and more on putting people first. If you can solve it with bullets, you definitely don't need a bayonet!
Now he brought a regiment of nearly 2,000 people, and the devils seem to be less than a hundred, and this group of devils doesn't seem to be very obedient, and they don't go to the pit according to the way out they have designed, but rush up to their side! Ge Laozi! It's a big deal, Lao Tzu took the brothers, and threw you into the pit with his own hands!
"Hit!" Wang Jiantang rolled up his sleeves, flicked the box cannon, and fired a succession. Shizuo just didn't want to work hard, and wanted the devil to go into the pit by himself. Since the devils are disobedient, Lao Tzu is here to send all these little devils back to grandma's house! I'm willing to dig out this strength and lift the devil into the pit!
One or two thousand soldiers of the 504th Regiment pulled the formation apart and opened fire on the devils in a fan shape. For a time, machine guns, rifles, and grenades were fired together, and the roar of mortars and grenadiers shook the wilderness.
The Japanese captain with the remnants of the devils was halfway through a decisive charge against their opponent when they were hit by the fire of Wang Jiantang's entire regiment. Dense bullets, with the density of raindrops, overwhelmingly greeted the sky. The devils let out a ghost cry wolf howl, turned around, and ran around with their heads in their hands. The bunker where he was hiding just now was not too far away, and the devils with nimble legs and feet ran back behind the rocks with their lives, and those devils who moved a little slower were smashed to pieces by the rain of bullets on the spot. Of course, before they died, these guys also made one last contribution to the Great East Asian Holy War, blocking a few bullets for their fast-moving compatriots.
Since Wang Jiantang was already prepared to help this group of devils carry the corpses, he naturally would not let one go casually. After more than ten minutes of firing, there was no devil left standing in the place where the devils were standing just now. The sharp-eyed warrior saw the devil hiding behind the rocks, and while cleaning the battlefield, he threw a grenade at some suspicious stone.
This area has been surrounded by the 504 Regiment, and even if the devils want to flee in the wilderness, there is nowhere to escape. The devil, who feels that he is in a desperate situation, shoots out from his hiding place. Originally, those soldiers threw grenades behind the stones, which had already aroused the vigilance of the soldiers, and as soon as the devil shot again, of course our fighters would know what was going on. So, under the organization of the company platoon commanders, the soldiers of our army began to search the stones that could hide from people in squads.
Sporadic gunshots rang out from time to time, sometimes interspersed with the explosion of grenades and the howls of the devils before they died. This is a plain, not a mountainous area, and even if there are rocks, there are not too many, and this final battle did not take too long to end.
The battle in the depression ended faster, and after the stubborn devils who hid under the corpses of their kind in the end, Wang Dazhu decisively ordered his soldiers to throw grenades into the pit. Whether they were living or dead, they all turned them over with grenades. After dozens of grenades, only the shattered corpses remained in the pit. At this time, there was news from the front that Wang Jiantang had already packed up the original devils.
After the battle, watching the soldiers carry the corpses of the devils that had been carefully searched to the pit over there, Wang Jiantang remembered that these devils were not killed by his regiment! If you really want to talk about it, it should be the cavalry battalion that killed more! The cunning cavalry, after the fight, rode away on horseback, but threw the last of the dirty work to him!
"Search carefully, there can't be a single bullet left on the devil's body!" Wang Jiantang, who felt that he had suffered a big loss, viciously issued the last combat order. If it weren't for the shredded clothes on these devils, he really wanted to strip them all into naked pigs!
Xiaoshi brought intelligence, and a few miles away was the headquarters of the devil's baggage wing, and the gang of devils who were killed was just a squadron of the baggage wing. Baggage soldiers, as the name suggests, are to transport supplies and ammunition, but after this battle, in addition to feeling that these devils compared to the previous elite infantry squadrons to check the combat effectiveness, baggage materials, but they did not carry much, which inevitably made Gao Quan feel a bit of a fly in the ointment.
Was it the idea to fight that baggage wing? Do what you think! Gao Quan immediately brought Liu Qi and the cavalry battalion commander over, and the two of them had to cooperate in this work.
After a small military meeting, the two battalion adults went to the troops to assign tasks with smiles and satisfaction. Gao Quan looked at the backs of the two of them walking away, revealing a contemplative expression. It's a challenging task! He almost wanted to lead the team himself. It's just that now the troops are in the whirlpool of a big war, and they may encounter a strong enemy at any time, and he is the division commander, so it is impossible for him to leave his post without permission and leave the troops to go on adventures.
The troops were ordered to rest on the spot, and guard posts were set up around them, scouts were sent around, and the engineer battalions came to dig up the earth and bury the corpses of the devils. Gao Quan stared at the map of the border between Henan and Anhui and began to be in a daze.
The devil's attack to the north to the outskirts of Nanyang can be said to have reached the limit, with the southward movement of the Second Army and the return of the 31st Army, the retreat of the Japanese army is already a foregone conclusion. Even if Zhang Zizhong is intercepting in the south, it is impossible to leave the two divisions of the devil behind. The 500th Division has now entered the center of the war group, and now that the baggage of the 16th Division has been found, it is not too far from the main force of the 16th Division. Now Gao Quan must be prepared for a vicious battle at any time.
The 16th Division of the Japanese Army, it is not that it is enough to hate them, these devils are famous in the entire Japanese army for their strong combat effectiveness. Gao Quan didn't want to throw this little money he had worked so hard to save to Nakajima Imakago, the perverted killer king.
Gao Quan's task for the cavalry battalion and reconnaissance battalion was to lure the enemy. Since there is no way to fight head-on with the 16th Division of the Devils, it is better to simply have an ant gnaw the mountain and beat him piecemeal.
After the corpses of the devils in the pit were buried, and the soldiers had eaten, Gao Quan scattered the three brigades, made a semi-encirclement shape, set up an ambush position, and waited for the troops who lured the enemy to lure the people who should come.
The cavalry battalion was not particularly good at luring the enemy, but with Liu Qi following, everything became simple. The cavalry is fast, and after luring the enemy out, it can more easily attract the devils into our army's ambush circle, and Liu Qi and his scouts are just cooperating to make the devils more easily deceived.
