Chapter 514: A Lesson to the Liaodong Army

The chief of staff did not dare to slack off, and immediately asked several wings to report on their losses. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

I don't know if I don't check, and I'm shocked when I check it.

By this time, the total losses of the various wings had exceeded three infantry brigades. Because these losses were scattered among the wings, they did not attract the attention of the wings. However, when all of them are added up, it directly means that their division and regiment will lose nearly one infantry wing of combat strength at once.

The chief of staff, who was taken aback, did not dare to slack off and immediately reported the situation to the division commander.

When the division commander got the news, the other two division commanders also heard it.

The commanders of the other two divisions, who also had a hint of bad premonition in their hearts, were also anxious, and immediately sent someone back to inform their chief of staff to confirm whether their division had also suffered heavy losses.

This time, Cha really scared the commanders of the three divisions. The other two divisions were no exception, one lost three infantry brigades, and one lost an entire infantry wing.

In other words, the three divisions and regiments blocking the door of the Liaodong Army lost nearly 30 percent of their troops before they had direct contact with the Liaodong Army, which can be described as heavy losses.

Now that the troops have already been lost, there is no point in pursuing responsibility.

Therefore, as soon as the commanders of the three divisions reacted from the shock, they gathered together with a frown and discussed solutions.

Half an hour later, the three division commanders hurriedly left here with complicated expressions.

The next day, the Japanese troops still began to drive out of the barracks, as usual, patrolling around the garrison in squadrons.

The Liaodong Army, which got the news, did not know that the Japanese army had prepared a big trap for them. More than a thousand people, still as usual, rushed to the long-chosen ambush position, ready to eat a squadron of opponents.

After an hour of hard waiting, the reinforced patrol squadron of the Japanese finally came into view.

The regiment commander, who personally operated a light machine gun, saw that nearly 200 Japanese troops had all entered the pocket formation, and the regiment commander gave the order to shoot.

Of course, the regimental commander's hand holding the handle of the light machine gun was not idle, and quickly pulled the trigger of the machine gun.

Shots rang out, and hot bullet casings quickly jumped out of the chambers. Bullets also flew out quickly along the barrel, forming a hot tongue of fire in the muzzle.

Dozens of light and heavy machine guns were fired together, and even if the Japanese were very vigilant, they fell nearly 100 people in just a few seconds.

At this time, the remaining Japanese troops were already lying on the ground, allowing machine gun bullets to fly overhead, and they did not raise their heads to counterattack. In this case, the Liaodong army that ambushed them could only suppress them to the death, and wait for the riflemen to get closer to them and greet them with grenades.

But at this moment, an accident happened, and there were less than a hundred Japanese troops left on the battlefield, and dozens of grenades were thrown around.

Although not a single grenade smashed around the Liaodong Army, the thick smoke from the grenade explosion separated the Liaodong Army from the Japanese army in the first place.

In this case, the Japanese army, which was suppressed by light and heavy machine guns, finally ushered in a chance to breathe.

While continuing to throw grenades around, they concentrated each other by crawling forward, and piled up the corpses of their comrades who fell to the ground, repairing temporary positions and blocking bullets for themselves.

The commander of the Liaodong Corps who led the team, although he didn't know what the Japanese army was doing behind the gunsmoke? But the sooner these Japanese troops were destroyed, the better, and he still knew this truth.

Therefore, as soon as the grenade thrown by the Japanese exploded, he hurriedly ordered: "Machine gun cover, immediately rush over and kill the remaining Japanese soldiers with the grenade."

While the Japanese were still throwing grenades around, dozens of riflemen finally rushed to a position less than fifty meters away from them.

Without saying a word, the riflemen quickly pulled out their grenades. While pulling the string, he continued to rush forward, and then, with the help of inertia, threw the grenade hard. ā€

The grenade exploded, and more than a dozen Japanese soldiers who were dragging the corpses to repair the position were immediately blown to the ground.

At this time, some Japanese soldiers who were already protected by a half-meter-high corpse wall were no longer passively beaten, some threw grenades in the direction of the Liaodong Army, and some set up their rifles and began to shoot.

Dozens of riflemen of the Liaodong Army were caught off guard, and more than a dozen of them fell at once.

When the remaining dozens of riflemen subconsciously lay on the ground, dozens of grenades were thrown out.

There were still dozens of Japanese positions left, and again a violent explosion sounded.

The Japanese army, which was already small, was killed and wounded by the bombing again, and more than a dozen were injured.

There were still more than thirty Japanese soldiers who quickly hid behind the corpses, throwing grenades and shooting to prevent the Liaodong Army from continuing to approach them.

"Today's Japanese army is too evil, more than the previous Japanese army!" The head of the regiment frowned and couldn't help but complain.

A few seconds after the words were finished, the regimental commander continued to order: "It can't be delayed any longer!" Light and heavy machine guns, intensify firepower, suppress them. There are not many people left in the Japanese army, kill them as soon as possible! ā€

In the opinion of the regiment commander, in two minutes at most, the battle will be over. And he can also withdraw from the battlefield with the capture and end the battle.

But at this moment, a burst of gunfire suddenly sounded behind him.

Before the regimental commander could react, a scream came from behind to his ears. Then, a company commander shouted.

"Commander, something happened! We have Japanese troops behind us! ā€

As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of gunfire rang out from the other direction, and an exclamation followed to the ears of the regiment commander.

"Not good, regiment commander, there are a large number of Japanese troops on our left flank, at least two squadrons!"

The regiment commander hurriedly raised the binoculars, and soon, the regiment commander's face became solemn, and he said to the two battalion commanders who hurried over beside him.

"We are surrounded! Can any of you tell me where all these Japanese troops around are coming from, at least two infantry brigades! ā€

Seeing that the two battalion commanders shook their heads one after another, the regiment commander continued: "It seems that this is a trap set for us by the Japanese army!" No wonder the encircled Japanese army is so difficult to fight today, it turns out that they want to surround us here! ā€

"Regiment commander, the encirclement of the Japanese army has not yet been formed, we can break through now and rush out, do you want to leave now!" A battalion commander hastened to remind! ā€œ

"It's too late! Didn't you see that the Japanese troops who surrounded us were armed with a large number of light and heavy machine guns? I've seen more than a hundred. Breaking through with such powerful firepower is not much different from sending to death! I can't let my brothers die here in vain! ā€

It turned out that as soon as the division commander came back yesterday, he began to plot how to give the Liaodong Army a counterattack on the battlefield.

It is certainly not possible to blatantly mobilize troops, and as soon as their own troops move, the Liaodong Army will know.

After some thought, the division commander finally came up with a way to take the troops and light and heavy machine guns out with the help of patrols.

A squadron of Japanese troops, five squads when they went out, and four squads when they returned, so that they could take out one squad and one heavy machine gun and two light machine guns.

At the end of the night, the Japanese army arranged more than two brigades of ambushes outside the barracks. (To be continued.) )
