Chapter 365: Creating Conflict
On the battlefield of the Russo-Japanese war, which was completely shrouded in night, the special operations detachment of the Liaodong Army, which was scattered in squadrons, was all lurking in this battlefield intertwined with ravines. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
On a hill less than 500 meters away from the Japanese defense line, more than 100 special effects team members lurked here.
Their task is to constantly create as much friction as possible between Japan and Russia in front of them and allow them to exchange fire.
Over the past few days, although some successes have been achieved, several clashes at the battalion and company level have broken out between the Japanese and Russian troops.
However, squadron leader Wang Hong was very dissatisfied.
This kind of skirmish, with the best possible restraint on both sides, did not last long before it was stopped by the officers of the two armies.
Over the past few days, Japan and Russia have not only avoided major casualties, but have become more and more vigilant.
In the past few days, he has been lurking in the middle of the defense lines of the two armies, shooting at the Japanese and Russian armies separately, causing them to clash.
And now, as the Japanese and Russian armies become more and more cautious, such actions are becoming more and more difficult.
In this way, Wang Hong, who is not ambitious, can only think of other ways.
No, as soon as it gets dark, Wang Hong sends out all the team members who are good at reconnaissance.
When the next night came, night once again covered the entire battlefield.
These team members, who had been out for a day and a night, finally came back and reported to Wang Hong one by one what they had really investigated.
"Captain, I found a hole in the Russian defense line, where there is only one platoon of old Maozi on guard, and at night, there are even fewer old Maozi on alert......" A squad leader who led the team reported with a serious face.
"After I crossed the line and entered the hinterland of the Russian army, I found a mountain artillery battalion. Eighteen mountain artillery, in addition to artillery, only one platoon of infantry was on guard...... If it weren't for your strict order not to act, I really want to mess with him and destroy this artillery battalion......"
"A battalion of mountain artillery?" Wang Hong's brows furrowed, and he said to himself.
Then, Wang Hong's eyes lit up. He asked a few squad leaders around him: "You say, if we can take down Lao Maozi, a mountain artillery battalion, and use them to shell the Japanese position, what will happen?" ”
"Fight back. The Japanese will definitely counterattack......" affirmed the captain without thinking about it.
At Wang Hong's signal, the squad leader continued: "The artillery is not the rifle and light machine gun we are equipped with, even if the Japanese army hides in the trench, it can be killed by the artillery. ”
"If the Japanese don't want to be bombed, they can only counterattack with artillery......"
"Battalion-scale artillery battles are neither small nor small. If we are between the Japanese and Russian armies again. If you fan the flames with rifles, a military conflict between the Japanese and Russian armies will break out at least at the regimental level or above or above the brigade level......"
Hearing this, Wang Hong's eyes had already shot out two rays of scorching light.
Facing a few subordinates, he decisively decided: "Since this is the case, then we will do this......"
"Captain Zhang, you know the situation of the Russian mountain artillery battalion best, how many people you need to take it, and let all the artillery fire at the Japanese position......"
"Fifty people ......" Captain Zhang, who was named by Wang Hong, replied very affirmatively.
"Okay, I'll give you ...... You take your squad and draw two squads from the second squad. Go deep into the hinterland of the Russian army with you, and start shelling as soon as you take the Russian mountain artillery battalion, and you decide for yourself when to retreat. However, it is necessary to control the losses of the brothers. We don't have many people, it's hard to get replenishment, and if we lose one, we will lose one......" Wang Hong decisively ordered.
"The other brothers followed me and scattered in squads. As soon as the mountain artillery controlled by Captain Zhang went off, I fanned the flames on the Japanese-Russian defense line and forced them to attack each other. Expanding the scale of the conflict......"
Maybe because this is my own big rear, there can be no danger. After eating after dark, both the artillery and the vigilance troops retreated into warm tents.
Artillery positions of the Notda. Except for a dozen or so patrolmen, not a single superfluous old man could be seen.
At one o'clock in the morning, a dozen patrolmen of the artillery position, when the eyelids also began to fight.
Dozens of special combat personnel who had been detouring for a long time finally touched the Russian artillery position.
More than a dozen tired patrolmen were in front of the special effects team, and they didn't even have a chance to resist. They were touched one by one.
When it was over, more than 50 special combat members, like ghosts, holding bayonets or daggers, reached into the tent and began to hunt for themselves.
Because Lao Maozi was asleep, and it was the deepest sleep at night, and the weapons were not around.
The entire hunt was a massacre, and in less than ten minutes, more than 200 Russian troops were all wiped out of their necks.
Soon, dozens of special combat personnel who had completed the task were all gathered in front of Wang Hong. At the same time, a strong smell of blood also permeated from the direction of the Russian tent.
Seeing that there were dozens of team members, Wang Hong nodded with satisfaction.
Subsequently, he ordered very decisively: "If you know how to shoot artillery, choose a deputy and stand by the mountain artillery." The others, in pairs, stood guard around the position, don't be surrounded by Lao Maozi. ”
"Five minutes to check the artillery and shells, and five minutes later, to cover the Japanese positions with artillery fire. No one can stop without an order......"
Soon, the screech of shells across the sky sounded on the battlefield.
Before the Japanese and Russian armies understood where the shells were coming from, the sound of violent shell explosions sounded in the Japanese positions.
Subsequently, more and more shells began to explode on the Japanese positions.
Just as the Japanese positions were being covered by artillery fire little by little, the special operators lurking between the defensive lines of the two armies opened fire.
I saw that there were soldiers around me who were constantly hit by bullets, and the shells mixed with screaming sounds also continued to explode around me, taking the lives of one soldier after another.
The Japanese, who were guarding the front-line positions, subconsciously thought that the Russian army's offensive against them had begun.
In their opinion, this offensive may well be the real decisive battle. Otherwise, the Russian army would not even use artillery, and it would be a mountain artillery battalion.
Under the cover of night, the Japanese, who could not see the Russian positions clearly, subconsciously fought back at the Russian positions 100 meters away in order to avoid accidents and for their own safety.
At the same time, a field artillery brigade arranged in the back also fired retaliatory shells.
Artillery and infantry fire, seeing that the conflict between the Japanese and Russian armies has completely broken out, and the scale has become larger and larger.
The Liaodong Army, which created this conflict, quickly withdrew from the battlefield.
What Wang Hong didn't expect was that his retreat not only did not stop the conflict, but made it bigger and bigger.
The Russian army, who didn't know why the mountain artillery battalion suddenly opened fire, saw that the mountain artillery battalion was under the counterattack of the Japanese field artillery, and it didn't last long before all the fire was dumb. The old Maozi of several artillery positions around him immediately burst into flames.
With the idea of avenging their comrades-in-arms, these artillery units immediately joined the battle and bombarded the field artillery positions exposed by the Japanese army.
Soon, a field artillery brigade of the Japanese army was completely wiped out, and the news that the front-line defenders had suffered heavy losses under the Russian artillery bombardment was sent to the commander of a Japanese division.
As the attacking side, how could the division commander watch his troops being pressed and beaten.
If not, he ordered the field artillery wing into the battle, and sent two brigades to reinforce the battlefield...... (To be continued.) )
