Chapter 188: Ambush Failed

The enemy definitely has reconnaissance troops, and they will definitely not obediently enter the ambush circle according to Takasaki's ideas, so a force is needed to lure the enemy deeper. So the first battle took place at a distance of about three thousand five hundred meters from the ambush circle.

1,800 soldiers of the 1st Fukuoka Guerrilla Brigade led by Major Danzo set up sniper positions on the road they had to pass, and soon the Japanese defense was discovered by scouts and reported back to Guzishan.

"Are there any little devils on the left and right sides of the enemy position?" Gu Zishan once tried to learn the crepe way of speaking of cultural people, but later he and others felt awkward, so he continued to use the traditional way, that is, vernacular, foul language and swearing.

"On the left side of the position is a small river about ten meters wide, which can be crossed on foot, but on the opposite bank there is a presence of the enemy, and no pre-constructed fortifications are found; On the right is a low hill, about five thousand meters long, on the slopes of which enemy fortifications were also found, but no heavy fire such as artillery was found. "The scout's debriefing was very detailed.

Gu Zishan touched his stubble, thinking to himself, damn it, the little devil's defense surface is ten kilometers long, although the troops are weak, but the mountains and forests cover the sight of the scouts, it is likely that there are still a large number of troops, time waits for no one, it is too late to test the defense strength on both sides, and break through directly from the middle!

He decided to abandon the tentative attack, judging from intelligence and past experience, the enemy should not have heavy firepower such as artillery and machine guns, and the special combat team was in urgent need of support, so it was too late to test the strength of the defensive position.

"The first battalion will attack, the artillery company will cover with fire, and the second battalion will be ready to attack, give me a breath to take that position!" Gu Zishan is straightforward, as the main division in the main force of the army. If the main regiment in the main division, a small guerrilla position, could not be captured, Gu Zishan would simply commit suicide.

The three regiments proved to have an absolute advantage, and under the cover of ten infantry guns, the first battalion launched a rapid offensive, and the main Japanese position immediately fell into an explosion. The strafing of light and heavy machine guns allowed the 1st Battalion to charge boldly with confidence. The troops advanced in a wedge pattern, starting from a distance of 200 meters to cover the advance alternately (the Japanese rifles had a short range and no machine guns), coupled with the cover of mortars and machine guns, they could also inflict a lot of damage on the Japanese in the charge.

The 1st Battalion and the 2nd Company attacked from the left flank, and after attracting most of the Japanese firepower from the front, the 2nd Company joined in the flank fire. The 1st Guerrilla Squadron was in charge of the rear.

What the Empress meant even to the partisans knew very well, and the 1st guerrilla squadron suffered heavy losses under the blows of the 1st battalion. The second company on the left flank was the first to rush into the Japanese positions and broke through to the positions of the 1st Guerrilla Squadron in the center, and finally the positions collapsed under the onslaught of grenades, and the partisans fled one after another, regardless of the orders of the rear.

At this time, the favorite moment of the army came, and Gu Zishan called the fighting style at this time "stabbing the ass", of course, some soldiers and officers who were civilized and liked to call it "picking chrysanthemums". Fleeing soldiers leave their backs to the enemy, which is one of the most irrational and unscientific acts on the battlefield.

"Report the head of the regiment. The Japanese army collapsed on all fronts and fled to the rear. A battalion was organizing a pursuit. ”

"See, poke your ass, aren't you having fun?" Gu Zishan stayed in the starting position of the first battalion, and immediately led people to the position after seeing the enemy collapse.

"Order a battalion to pursue, and also, the reconnaissance company don't forget to continue the reconnaissance. I'm afraid that the battalion will get carried away and suffer again! The carefulness that Gu Zishan learned when he was in business played a role, which doomed the Japanese ambush to failure.

The first battalion had noticed that something was wrong with the Japanese army, these little devils were very crazy in battle on weekdays, how could they collapse on the whole line with a little resistance this time? And they didn't panic when they ran away. The organized escape was faintly visible, and after fifteen minutes of pursuit, a narrow mountain pass appeared in front of the first battalion, and the Japanese troops fled into the mountain pass and turned around the protruding hill and disappeared.

"Come on in!" Takasaki anxiously looked at the lingering enemy with a telescope from the ambush position, and as the ten minutes passed, the enemy gathered more and more in the mountain pass, but he just didn't come in.

"It's broken, the enemy has found out that something is wrong! Takasaki vaguely sensed that the ambush had failed, and it seemed that the favorable terrain and the hundreds of mines in the valley were useless.

Sure enough, the three regiments began to retreat slowly, and sent one to advance towards the mountains on the left. Takasaki immediately ordered the troops on the left to continue hiding, and the troops on the right quickly circled behind the three regiments in an attempt to reweave an encirclement.

Takasaki's reaction can be called fast, which shows that his tactical cultivation is good, but among the tens of thousands of soldiers and officers under his command, few can keep up with his rhythm. First, the soldiers on the left side of the position were the first to shoot because of nervousness, and the ambush position was missed, and then the troops on the right side moved too much when they went around, and they were easily captured by the three regiments.

Since the intentions of the Japanese army have been discovered, it is easy to deal with them. Gu Zishan immediately ordered the second battalion on the left to attack the Japanese position, and the rest of the troops were deployed on the spot to organize fortifications.

The three regiments were on a flat ground, which was not good for defense, but the mortars opened fire first at the Japanese troops moving to the right, and the infantry artillery was quickly deployed, which greatly delayed the pace of the Japanese advance and gave the soldiers of the three regiments time to build individual bunkers. The excellent sapper shovel played a huge role, and the softness of the ground also helped the soldiers to dig bunkers quickly, and when the Japanese troops on the right broke through the artillery fire barrier, a simple trench had been constructed, and the second line of defense in the rear not far away was under intense construction.

The Japanese fortifications on the left were served by low hillsides less than a hundred meters high, and they did not have any other bunkers. The machine gun at the heart of the tactics again became the decisive weapon for the outcome of the battle, and under the cover of a rain of bullets, the infantry of the 2nd Battalion quickly rushed up the low hillside and threw grenades.

The Japanese army at the front was less than 200 men, and the previous arrangement was to divide along the valley in a long strip, but now it has been changed to the top of the position, so that the Japanese troops in the rear did not have the first reinforcement. The first hill was quickly broken through, and the Japanese retreated, and the 2nd Battalion immediately occupied this hillside and sent 3 companies to advance to another small high ground to the left of the hill, trying to expand the defensive surface of the 3rd Regiment and provide favorable conditions for a detour in the battle.

The three regiments were armed with weapons that surpassed those of the Japanese in World War II, while most of the Japanese were armed with manual rifles, some of which were single-shot rifles with insufficient ammunition, and some of them wielded samurai swords like samurai.

The Japanese army on the right flank lived up to the name of madness, sacrificed the magic weapon of the Japanese army's tactics - Zhu Tu, and launched a tidal attack in the face of the simple defense of the three regiments, and soon, the Japanese attack made Gu Zishan discover the shortcomings of the three regiments, and the ammunition was too little, especially the rifle ammunition, and each soldier only had one base ammunition. The machine gun ammunition was a little better, as the tactical core, each infantry had to carry two machine gun magazines, which made Gu Zishan feel slightly relieved.

"Send a telegram to Fukuoka and find the main force of the Japanese guerrillas, numbering about 10,000, and request tactical reinforcements." Gu Zishan calmly said to the communicator, he still doesn't care about the tens of thousands of guerrillas, he is worried about the comfort of the special combat team, at present, it is difficult for the three regiments to quickly reinforce the first group through the battlefield, and the enemy gathered tens of thousands of people not only to prevent the reinforcements of the three regiments, or its original goal was the three regiments!

"There are still thirty rounds of ammunition left, how many more do you have yet, Song Hao?"

"Four magazines, Lao Tzu beat the machine gun out of the rifle accuracy, this time the number of kills and injuries will exceed yours!" Song Hao lowered his head and replaced it with a machine gun barrel, and said to Jiang Maosheng with a grin. The situation became more and more critical, the enemy's attack became fierce, Jiang Maosheng, who had been injured and rested for thirty minutes, had to rejoin the battlefield, looking at Song Hao, who was extremely optimistic at all times, Jiang Maosheng shook his head, and visually saw that more than 300 people had fallen in the open space between the mountain forest and the top of the mountain, but the Japanese attack was not affected by the casualties, and the attack was still fierce.

Five people in the first group, including Jiang Maosheng, were wounded, one of the machine gunners was seriously wounded, the bullet passed through his neck, and the part-time hygienist tried to stop the bleeding, but the injuries were too severe to survive. The feeling of being surrounded made the special combat members extremely depressed, and what they are good at is sneak attacks, ambushes, and shooting to change places, which is similar to the tactics of the guerrillas, and they hate this kind of positional warfare that would rather die than retreat.

Casualties are inevitable, it has been nearly two hours since the call for help was sent, reinforcements were far away, the signal corps received a telegram from the rear, and the three regiments that came to support were entangled by tens of thousands of guerrillas and fell into a bitter battle, that is, isolated and helpless!
