Chapter 816: The Brigade Commander can't help it

The ambush was so simple that dozens of simple subordinates could barely believe their eyes. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

On the way of the devils, an ambush position was chosen that no one would choose, and five light machine guns were scattered along the side of the mountain road, and six or seven riflemen were placed around each machine gun for protection.

As for the two grenadiers, they were personally operated by the two squad leaders, facing the path that the devils had to pass, and there were two grenades next to each grenadier. As soon as the devils enter the ambush circle, a total of four grenades will definitely explode in the middle of the devil group in the shortest possible time.

Although this is not a place for ambushes, once the devils are ambushed, they can immediately retreat to the other side of the mountain road to fight back. However, it is very suitable for a transfer to the Takayama area.

Behind the bushes where dozens of people were hiding was the forest, and as long as they received the order to retreat, at most five seconds, dozens of people could disappear into the forest.

Watching the devils not far away slowly enter the field of vision, and firing a few bullets into the forests on both sides from time to time during the march, it was determined that both sides of the mountains and forests were safe through fire reconnaissance.

Gao Shan, who was afraid that his subordinates' rifles would misfire and destroy the entire ambush, reminded him again.

"Listen to everything, you can only shoot when you hear my gunshot, and no one can shoot in advance."

"Also, the five light machine guns will retreat after firing a shuttle of bullets, and leave nothing else, and shoot at the devil artillery and heavy machine gunners."

"Rifleman, shoot three bullets as fast as you can, and then retreat into the woods, and no one can fight. When I go back, if I let me know whose rifle chamber is a mountain of bullets, the training volume will be doubled for the next ten days. ”

It was rare for an open field to appear on the winding mountain road, and the Japanese troops, who had become very nervous since they had been attacked by a sneak attack, could not help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw that there was no suitable terrain for sneak attacks and ambushes around them, and their vigilance was reduced to a minimum.

At this moment, Gao Shan, who was holding a pistol, shouted directly: "Hit", and then pulled the trigger on the devil who was close at hand.

In an instant, five or six bullets fired from the pistol flew towards the devil in the shape of an umbrella.

As soon as Takayama fired, the machine gunners and riflemen next to him also fired.

A string of bean gunshots rang out in a bush close to the devil, and the unwary devils were like ripe wheat harvested by countless bullets, and they were knocked to the ground in patches.

At this time, the two grenadiers also spoke, and the grenades, with a slight screeching sound, accurately smashed in the middle of the group of devils and exploded, blowing up five or six devils who were caught off guard.

Although Gao Shan caught the devil by surprise and fired the most bullets at the devil in the shortest time, causing thirty or forty casualties to the devil in two or three seconds, the devil still reacted quickly, and immediately counterattacked under the command of their respective squad leaders and Jun Cao, and retreated into the forest behind while counterattacking.

And that's not all, the well-trained devils were able to divide thirty or forty people, divided into two, each under the cover of two light machine guns, and killed from the flanks to the bushes hiding in the high mountains.

Obviously, the devil wants to surround and attack his own mountain in a roundabout way.

At this time, if Gao Shan fought an ordinary ambush battle, even if he could bring great damage to the devils, he would be surrounded by the devils' counterattack troops, and then all the devils would be annihilated here.

However, Takayama is not an ordinary ambush battle, but a quick ambush battle.

The devil had just begun to fight back, and the Takayama Department had already dropped two corpses and quickly burrowed into the mountain behind him.

When the devil detoured and finally formed an encirclement around the bushes, and then quickly killed the bushes. In addition to the two corpses that had unfortunately died in battle, there was only one steaming bullet casing left in the small ambush position.

"Baga, the cunning independent regiment, was actually run away by them again!" After receiving the news, the squadron leader scolds loudly after cutting two small trees next to him in half in anger.

At this time, the deputy captain came over with a solemn face and reported: "Captain, we lost a total of the sneak attack of the independent regiment just now?" ”

"A sneak attack of more than ten seconds in total, how many people can be lost, if you have something to say, don't swallow and spit out!" The squadron leader shouted with a dissatisfied face.

"Hey!" The vice captain no longer hesitated, and replied with a solemn face: "After statistics, we have lost a total of 63 warriors, of which 42 warriors were killed in battle. Also, half of the more than sixty people lost were artillerymen and heavy machine gunners. ”

"Now, the heavy machine gun and mortar squad that His Excellency the Brigade Commander has reinforced to us is no longer manned."

"Nani?" The squadron leader asked rhetorically with a look of disbelief.

The deputy captain quickly explained: "According to observation, although there are not many enemies who attacked us just now, they are equipped with two grenadiers and five light machine guns, and these weapons are specially aimed at the places where we are crowded!" ”

"It was because the enemy's firepower was so fierce that we lost so many people in such a short period of time!"

"Also, not only were the artillery and heavy machine-gun squads almost completely wiped out, but our infantry squadrons also suffered heavy losses. The casualties inflicted on us by the first sneak attack of the reinforced Separate Regiment, the remaining combat strength of the entire squadron was less than an infantry squad. ”

The squadron leader's face instantly became gloomy, and he frowned and asked in a heavy tone: "That is to say, we lost nearly one hundred and fifty warriors in two consecutive attacks. And our enemy independent regiment only dropped the Japanese corpses before and after, and then used up some bullets and grenades. ”

"Hey!" The deputy captain was about to give an affirmative answer, but after seeing the squadron leader's increasingly gloomy face, he immediately retorted: "No, captain, we must have caused more than four casualties to the independent regiment. ”

"And our first squad that was completely annihilated, so many warriors, must have caused a lot of casualties to the independent regiment, I believe in the combat effectiveness of our subordinates."

The squadron leader's face finally looked a lot better, and after taking a deep breath, he said helplessly: "No matter what, it is an indisputable fact that our squadron has suffered heavy losses. Without artillery and heavy machine gun squads, and with only one squad left in the combat unit, if they continued to advance rashly, they were likely to be ambushed by the Separate Regiment and wiped out. After all, the Separate Regiment has already shown us what they are capable of completely annihilating one of our infantry squads in a short time. ”

"I decided that the troops would stop immediately, and when the main force of the brigade arrived, I asked the brigade commander to send a new unit as the vanguard."

The brigade commander who got the news was also very angry, but after seeing the forests on both sides of the mountain road, the brigade commander directly gave up the idea of going into the mountains to pursue the sneak attackers.

First of all, investors have the ability to quickly wipe out their own squad in the woods.

Secondly, the forest next to the mountain road is too big to be able to catch up even if you enter the pursuit. Moreover, once their own troops get into the forest, the combat effectiveness of the troops will instantly be reduced to sixty percent or even lower due to the influence of the terrain.

Since there is no way to catch the sneak attackers, the only way for the brigade commander to vent his anger is to order the troops to speed up the raid, quickly kill the secret camp of the independent regiment, find the main force of the independent regiment and fight them in a decisive battle.
