Chapter 281: Song of the Sun and Moon (6)
Whoever discovers the opponent first will be able to take the initiative, and whoever hits the opponent first will have the advantage, and the battle will be fought again, and the aborigines in the Japanese squad will also begin to counterattack, and the two Japanese soldiers will stupidly hold their rifles and rush loudly in the direction of the bullet after the bullet has passed by, like a wild boar that has been disturbed.
With the courage of a wild boar assault, but without the thick fur of a wild boar, the two Japanese soldiers quickly fell to the ground, and Jiang Maosheng shouted: "Brother Ludao!" Then making a few gestures, Lu Dao and another aboriginal did not learn Chinese quickly, and their talent for understanding tactical gestures was very high, and the team quickly pursued the three Japanese aborigines according to the deployment.
The casualties of the aborigines are inevitable, and the enemy walks flexibly through the mountains and forests, hiding behind trees and shooting cold arrows, which will also pose a threat to Jiang Maosheng's team if they are too close. The team members armed with submachine guns had to shoot a shuttle of bullets to suppress the three men, and Lu Dao and the two appeared behind the enemy and shot the enemy three times in a row.
The first time they used firearms in actual combat, Lu Dao and the two performed very well, although they only shot three people with six bullets at a distance of more than ten meters and when the enemy was suppressed, they were still praised by Jiang Maosheng and others. Afterwards, Lu Dao said that if it was a bow and arrow, he could shoot the enemy at the first time, but he still affirmed the advantages of the firearm, especially after Jiang Maosheng joked that he took back the gun, Lu Dao hugged it tightly, looking like he was holding his wife.
Scattered on a front more than 10 kilometers long, gunfire continued to be heard from the top of the hill, and after more than an hour, the gunfire gradually stopped, and the Chinese army squad gained an overwhelming advantage, and later statistics showed that in the first contact, 65 enemy were killed, and this time it was 21 reconnaissance squads. The Chinese army suffered four casualties, including one aborigine. The battle site was about 17 kilometers away from the Japanese stronghold, and the scouts in charge of liaison climbed to the top of the hill and did not receive radio waves, so they could only walk quickly to relay messages between the reconnaissance team and the large unit.
After that, the battle became more intensive and complicated, and the Chinese reconnaissance team and the Japanese reconnaissance team launched a battle between the ambush and the ambushed within a radius of 15 kilometers and hundreds of kilometers. Knowing that he was not suitable for pig tactics in this big mountain, he began to learn from the aborigines and opponents.
The sound of gunfire from the south made Lieutenant General Noma even more nervous, and the latest gunfire was just a few kilometers outside the stronghold, indicating that the main force of the Chinese army was about to arrive. The pre-war information superiority will be the key factor in the outcome of the battle, and Noma did not hesitate to send a hundred reconnaissance teams and all the aborigines again, plus the first wave of one hundred reconnaissance teams, a total of 1,000 Japanese soldiers and 4,000 aborigines outside the stronghold.
The pressure is getting bigger and bigger, the physical exertion is still secondary, and the mental tension cannot be calmed. A deadly bullet or poison-laden arrow can be fired from behind a tree or in the grass at any time, and the aborigines do not need the flesh and fur of their prey to fight humans, so they can be confident in applying the most poisonous poisons.
Ten hours of intense fighting during the day made it impossible for Lu Dao to continue to hold on, and a team member who was hit by a cold arrow needed to recuperate in time, although Lu Dao found an antidote to the herb, but the team member still lost his combat effectiveness. Jiang Maosheng made a rough calculation, and in one day's battle, their squad encountered fifteen Japanese squads, and a total of seventy-five enemies were destroyed. The aborigines on the side of the Japanese army also seem to have killed red-eyed. Or in other words, indulging in the fun of battle, both sides ruthlessly resort to deadly moves.
Although ammunition, supplies are sufficient. But people are not machines after all. The tired Lu Dao squatted in the grass, the violent panting sound could be discovered by the enemy, the slightest abnormality on the tree branch could be the enemy in the ambush, there was no need to be surprised to stand up a clay figure in the dirt, the resurrected corpse was not a zombie, and both sides were taking advantage of every detail in the jungle. Try to destroy the enemy with the least possible cost. It is certain that the fighters who survive the battle will become the best jungle warfare experts and will take this battle to heart.
Jiang Maosheng's team and Song Hao's team were a little better, there were no soldiers killed in the day's battle, and the injured were all treated. The rest of the Chinese army squad has suffered more than 100 casualties. Although more than 400 Japanese troops have been wiped out, they are still under tremendous pressure. The number of Japanese troops does not seem to have decreased, which means that the proximity to the Japanese stronghold means that the fighting will be more intense.
Even the most skilled Aboriginal hunters can't find their way through the trails, and the ubiquitous combat makes the trails blurry, complex, and unrecognizable, and they switch targets when they encounter any enemy without having to cling to the same enemy. However, Jiang Maosheng's team and Song Hao's team still became public enemies because they attracted a lot of hatred. After a brief exchange between many Japanese squads, they found that both sides had the same goal of revenge, and gradually, the enemies chasing Jiang Maosheng's squad and Song Hao's squad snowballed. When Jiang Maosheng's team finally shook off the enemy's pursuit, and when it was dark and found a hiding place, they killed fifteen enemies again, while three of the team were wounded, and there was little ammunition left, but fortunately, the large amount of ammunition carried by Lu Daotou was not much - he preferred to kill the enemy with a short knife after an ambush - which could be provided to other guns that used the same caliber ammunition.
Stuffing a few insects into his mouth, Jiang Maosheng took a few wild fruits handed over by Lu Dao, which were sour but enough to satisfy his stomach. The Burmese jungles allowed the special forces to survive, but the enemy was more cunning, more combative, and faster learners than the British in Burma.
Under the tutelage of Lieutenant General Noma, the morale of the Japanese soldiers was gradually restored, they humbly learned from their aboriginal companions in the battle, and learned from their opponents at the cost of blood, after nightfall, Lieutenant General Noma once again replenished the soldiers, ammunition and supplies for the scouts on the periphery, and brought back the wounded soldiers for treatment, and hyped the news of defeating the Chinese scouts in the barracks, even if this was not necessarily true, even if many wounded soldiers were crying, the Japanese soldiers still chose to believe it, and were proud of those wounded soldiers and proud of the battlefield death.
Instead of choosing empty slogans to boost morale, Lieutenant General Noma used false results of the battle, generous monetary and material rewards to boost morale, and promoted the ranks of several soldiers who had made meritorious contributions in battle. These real things make the Japanese soldiers crazy, they are all from poor Japanese families, look at those rewards, it is not difficult to improve their families after this war, and even become a rich family! At the same time, the wounded soldiers who came back also brought back the news that the Chinese army was not invincible, and they also had a lot of casualties in the daytime battles, in which they could not use those heavy artillery, could not use tanks, could not use airplanes and airships, and did not even encounter heavy machine guns that spilled bullets, although they still lagged behind in individual weapons, but the firepower of the Chinese army was still weakened to the minimum, which gave the Japanese army the capital to collide with the Chinese army.
The battle at night was temporarily suspended, but the 1st Mountain Brigade in the rear was marching in the night, and the intelligence from the reconnaissance team in the front showed that it was less than 10 kilometers away from the battlefield outside the Japanese stronghold, and the battle was very fierce, and the Japanese army sent thousands of squads to surround and suppress their own reconnaissance team, which means that the main force of the Japanese army was nearby.
The seventy-five infantry guns carried by the artillery battalion of the 1st Mountain Brigade slowed down the speed of the army, and LĂź Bei ordered the artillery battalion to march normally under the protection of Ami, while the rest of the troops increased their speed and advanced lightly. The units of the 1st Mountain Brigade showed no less speed of movement than the Alpine Division, especially the soldiers with heavy machine guns and mortars, who carried different parts of their weapons and changed their loads at regular intervals during the march. Heavy barrels, brackets, barrels, barrels, chassis and other parts will form a fire strike unit, which is the most important means of fire support for lightly armed troops. In addition, the soldier in charge of carrying ammunition endured severe pain in his shoulder, and also did not fall behind the large army, and the ammunition box was even heavier than the weapon parts.
Soldiers also had to be careful about the road under their feet, as the torches made of pine resin, pine branches, and cotton cloth were not enough to illuminate every inch of land under their feet, and soldiers who were not careful in passing through the valleys, halfway up the mountainside, etc., would be stabbed by the sharp rocks on the side of the road, or roll down into the valley on one side. At this time, the large army could not stop to help, so as not to cause a blockage on the narrow road, and they could only rely on themselves to save themselves. This is also the reason why the army cannot be rushed at night, there are too many problems, too many accidents, but these have to give way in front of the mission, perhaps the soldiers are also ready to sacrifice, the whole team has no sound except footsteps and wheezing.
Relying solely on the 1st Mountain Brigade and the three Alpine Regiments, the troops are not sufficient, and it is very likely that there will be large casualties in the case of insufficient firepower. However, Lu Bei really couldn't contact the 2nd Mountain Brigade attacking from the north, and the two sides could not cooperate in the battle under the condition of opaque information, so they could only take one step at a time.
At one o'clock in the morning at night, the main force of the tired 1st Mountain Brigade finally joined up with the reconnaissance team, and Lu Bei did not care about resting, lying on the map, while gathering information, and formulating a combat plan with the staff officers.
Within a radius of 70 kilometers where the reconnaissance teams of the two sides intersect, the reconnaissance teams of the Chinese army currently roughly occupy an area of about 30 kilometers on the south side, and the rest is occupied by the Japanese army.
The wounded of the scouts were able to receive better treatment because of the arrival of a large army, and the field hospital was soon set up in rudimentary conditions, and the medical staff, like many officers and soldiers, did not take a break and entered into the intense work of treating them. The most fortunate thing for the Chinese soldiers is that they have a lot of special drugs that can keep the wound from inflamed and ultimately save their lives, penicillin and other special drugs can only be produced in China, and a very small amount is supplied in the Western market, but it is used on a large scale in the Chinese army.
