Chapter 331: Two Wings
Seeing that the troops quickly eliminated the remnants of the battlefield and began to clean up the battlefield, Xiao Bing decisively ordered: "Retreat after the battlefield is cleaned...... Tell the soldiers not to rush and take their time. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info The main force of the Japanese army did not know that their attack troops were wiped out by us, and today we have time ......"
Xiao Bing led his troops to reap the results, and the Japanese army wing captain Sakai Osaku was anxiously waiting on the official road.
After more than ten hours of difficult waiting, the two infantry wings of the Japanese army reinforced Fengcheng finally entered the field of vision of Zhao Zhigang, the commander of the third division of the Liaodong Army.
Perhaps because there were two cavalry wings in front of them to open the way, and the news of the elimination of the cavalry wing was blocked by the Liaodong Army and had not yet reached their ears.
Two reinforcements and two teams of more than 7,000 Japanese troops did not have any vigilance.
There were four columns lined up, along the official road, as if conducting a military exercise, and marched towards Fengcheng.
Because the Japanese army had a large number of troops, and they were all replenishment, dozens or hundreds of heavy machine guns were scattered in various infantry brigades and were not used in a centralized manner. After the battle began, it was absolutely impossible to destroy the Japanese heavy machine gun unit at the first time.
Therefore, Zhao Zhigang did not concentrate on the use of light and heavy machine guns.
Sixty heavy machine guns and more than 100 Madsen light machine guns were scattered throughout the ambush position.
As for the ambush battlefield in front of him, in order to encompass all the 7,000 Japanese troops, it stretched for two kilometers.
As the steady stream of Japanese troops began to enter everyone's field of vision, all kinds of inhalation sounds caused by shock reached Zhao Zhigang's ears.
Zhao Zhigang is very clear about the nervousness in everyone's hearts.
Not only the subordinates around him, but even Zhao Zhigang himself was very nervous at this moment.
First of all, this is the first time that he has independently commanded such a big battle.
Secondly, in front of the seven thousand well-armed and well-trained Japanese troops, they did not have much advantage in terms of strength or firepower.
After the battle started, if you can't inflict a lot of casualties on the Japanese army in a short period of time. Hit them hard. With the combat effectiveness and well-trained training of the Japanese army, they will definitely take themselves by surprise with sharp counterattacks.
And once the entire ambush war comes to a stalemate, comparing the combat effectiveness and morale of the two armies, it will definitely be yourself who loses in the end.
Of course. Nervous is nervous, Zhao Zhigang also has his own killer feature, grenades.
To guarantee victory, three thousand grenades, all scattered in the hands of riflemen.
And in order to ensure that the grenades can be accurately smashed on the official road. Zhao Zhigang also had each rifleman make two test throws.
Take a deep breath and try to calm your nervous heart as slowly as possible.
Zhao Zhigang directly ordered the chief of staff beside him: "Inform all battalions and companies to prepare for battle immediately......
"Three flares were used as the order to fire. As soon as the flare sounded, the reinforcements threw the grenades. Light and heavy machine gunners, all the bullets greeted the Japanese officers......"
"In addition, the commander was assigned to a special operations squadron assigned to us, and their first target was a Japanese officer. After that, focus on striking the Japanese light and heavy machine gunners, and try not to let the Japanese heavy machine guns fire...... Otherwise, the casualties of the brothers would have been very large. ”
The chief of staff replied with a serious face: "Division commander, you have already given the same order twice...... You can rest assured. I will definitely inform every soldier in the whole division to ......"
"Three thousand grenades exploded together, plus more than one hundred and sixty light and heavy machine guns were fired together. The Japanese army on the official road is beaten with iron, and we can also inflict heavy losses on them in a short period of time, so that they lose the ability to fight back.
After twenty minutes of anxious waiting, the formation of 7,000 Japanese troops, which stretched for almost two kilometers, finally all entered the ambush circle of the Third Division.
When the three flares of "Bang Bang ......" were lifted into the air and exploded, the two Japanese wing commanders were walking together, boasting to each other about their past achievements.
In the face of the signal flare that suddenly appeared and exploded, although the brows of the two wing leaders subconsciously furrowed, they did not realize that the danger had befallen them.
And just when the two wing captains frowned. Look at the flare that exploded in the air, and think about it.
The dense and violent gunfire suddenly reached the ears of the two people.
The two wing captains have not yet reacted, and the guards around them have reacted as soon as possible.
Use your body to guard the two wing captains in the middle. Quickly move to a shooting dead spot next to the official road.
During the transfer, the two wing commanders saw with their own eyes that the dozens of guards who were protecting themselves were swept to the ground in sheets like ripe wheat under the harvest of several light and heavy machine gun tongues.
Of course. This is just the beginning.
As soon as the two wing commanders walked into the shooting corner, they began to observe the entire battlefield.
And at this moment, hundreds of grenades suddenly fell from the sky and entered the field of vision of the two wing commanders......
"Yaga, these iron lumps, does the enemy want to destroy us with these iron lumps?" A wing captain shouted with a look of shock on his face.
The other co-captain also had a look of incomprehension on his face.
And in the blink of an eye, the grenade that had entered their field of vision and had begun to land told them the specific power of the grenade with the sound of an explosion.
"Boom, boom, boom......" The violent sound of grenade explosions became more and more violent, and it continued to reach the ears of the two people.
When the explosion sounded, fireballs mixed with a large amount of black smoke also rose from the ground and entered their field of vision.
Of course, it wasn't the images that shocked them the most.
On the official road, the subordinates who showed the same incomprehension expressions as themselves were thrown directly into the sky in the grenade explosion. And many more of his subordinates were blown to the ground in the grenade explosion, and their lives and deaths are unknown......"
"Eight Tooth Road! This...... What kind of weapon is this, and how can it be so powerful......" One of the Wing Commanders shouted with his mouth open and an incredulous expression.
The wing captain next to him seemed to think of something, and said with a sudden realization: "I finally understand now why the Liaodong Army can destroy us on a large scale again and again, and the culprit must be this new weapon......
"On the ambush battlefield, as long as the ambush troops are equipped with enough of this kind of weapon, and they don't even need to charge, they can destroy all the opponents who enter the ambush circle......
The look of consternation on the face of the other wing captain still did not disappear.
It's just that behind this stunned expression, there is a little more fear and anxiety.
Because, at this moment, he actually felt death beckoning to him again.
Under the threat of death, the wing commander hurriedly asked, "Then what do we do now?" ”
"Break through, only by highlighting the encirclement of the Liaodong Army can we ...... safely"
"Immediately contact all the troops that can be contacted, cover with heavy machine guns, and the troops will immediately break through, regardless of direction, and break through as many as they can."
At this time, the Japanese army, baptized by light and heavy machine guns and grenades, suffered heavy losses.
However, because the encirclement is too large, there are places that are not suitable for ambushes. The remaining Japanese troops in the entire encirclement, 3,000 people, still have them.
The commander of the Japanese army ordered that if it was passed on smoothly, with the combat strength of the Japanese army, there would still be the strength to fight with the third division. (To be continued.) )
