Chapter 140: Shao Zuo's Battle Knife
"One meter five?" Not only Cao Bao was surprised, but even Liu Qi and Biao Zi looked at Gao Quan in surprise. Junzao is not a scholar who doesn't even know about fortifications, why dig such a big hole in the trenches? Wouldn't your own soldiers fall into the pit if they weren't careful? A one-meter-five pit, if you don't do it, it will kill you!
"Yes, one meter five, dig a few more, and after we finish digging, we will withdraw and retreat to the second trench!" The sappers dug deep fortifications, connected with three trenches, one after another, separated by more than a hundred meters, and it was very convenient to withdraw from one to the next, which was prepared to prevent the Japanese from attacking too fiercely and our troops were forced to retreat.
Seeing that the few people around him still didn't understand, Gao Quan had to patiently explain: "We retreat, of course the devils are going to rush over and occupy our position." With the height of the devil, if he accidentally falls into the pit, will he still be able to get out? ”
"I'll take someone to dig it!" Cao Bao was as excited as if he had discovered a rare treasure, screamed, turned around and ran.
Liu Qi looked at the puddle under his feet, and then at Gao Quan, laughed a few times and went to give orders to the troops. Only Biao Zi still can't figure out what kind of dumb riddles these people are fighting, but he doesn't plan to figure it out, Biao Zi's task is only to ensure the safety of the military seat, and the others have little to do with him.
Cao Bao already understood what Gao Quan meant, of course he wouldn't just dig one when creating traps in the trenches, but fortunately, the sappers under his command were sufficient, and even a construction team that could repair the dam on the river, what was the difficulty of digging a few pits in the trenches? Although the pit sounds a bit deep, and Cao Bao asks for a lot of digging, it is at most a small and inconspicuous project compared to the half of the embankment.
The sappers wielded sapper shovels and quickly excavated with dirt and mud, and the soldiers shot at the devils not far from the sappers. "Boom!" With a bang, a grenadier shell just fell into the trench, and even the muddy water and clods of earth flew wildly, and the sappers who were digging died several at that time! As soon as the explosion subsided, new sappers took the place of their fallen comrades and continued to dig, and the clods and dirt were raised again and thrown out of the trenches. The excavation was resumed after only half a minute of hiatus.
"Shoot!" The devil Shao Zuo howled as hard as he could, and the Japanese army lay on the ground and shot wildly at our troops.
Sasaki Shaosa is a Japanese officer with extremely rich combat experience, and after such a long battle, Shaosa has found that the Chinese army fighting with him is not as many as him! The engineer regiment did not go into battle, and the five companies brought out by Gao Quan and Liu Qi were the frontal defense on the battlefield, of course, there were not as many people as the devil's brigade.
The Japanese army has always been good at concentrating superior forces to block, encircle, and annihilate a certain unit of our army, and the reason why such battles without any new ideas have been able to succeed again and again is that in addition to relying on their advanced weapons and high quality soldiers, the most important thing is the high efficiency of the Japanese army's intelligence system. At that time, a large amount of military intelligence of the national army was stolen and intercepted by the Japanese army, and even which unit to transfer in the theater of operations, the Japanese army received it first before the unit received the information!
It's like playing cards, a person wears a pair of cheating glasses, and can always see the opponent's cards, so what can his opponent do except lose a fine light? At that time, most of the national army was like this, before each battle, the information of the operation was always known by the Japanese army in advance, this was not a traitor betrayal, it was just the reason why the technology of the Republic of China, which had just broken free from feudal society, was not as advanced as Japan.
And we don't know what kind of military action the Japanese army is going to take, how can such a battle be won? Even if we win a victory once in a while, it is completely achieved by our fighters with their brave and tenacious will, and with the spirit of not being afraid of sacrifice for the country and the nation! Every victory is won with countless lives! It is not an exaggeration to say that it is an inch of mountains and rivers and an inch of blood.
However, this battle was an exception. The Japanese army knew that it was the 86th Army and the 500th Army that were defending Quzhou, and this could be seen from the telegrams coming and going from the Third War Zone. But what the 500th Army was doing, and what defensive means the 86th Army was going to take, the Japanese army did not know at all. Gao Quan had already successfully upgraded his secret service, not only could the 500 Army's own telegraphs and devils not be able to eavesdrop, but even if the devils were sending military intelligence telegrams, Gao Quan would intercept them when he said that they would intercept them. In terms of intelligence warfare, the 500 Army has unconsciously occupied an absolute superiority.
Although I don't know whether it is the 500th Army or the 86th Army on the other side, the kind of tough donkey temper that the Japanese army is used to has always supported Sasaki Shaosa, making Shaosa full of danger and terror at all times, this guy is a standard terrorist!
Under Sasaki's frenzied urging, the devils fired ammunition at the Chinese army opposite them. Finally, the Chinese army seemed to be unable to hold on, and their firepower moved back! Sasaki Shaosa clearly saw from the telescope that the firepower points of the Chinese army began to move back one after another, and moved back some distance from the current position, about one or two hundred meters, right? There was another trench.
Finally, there was no more smoke rising from the first trench in front of me, and no bullets were shooting at the devils! Trench! To have trenches, of course, is to have security! No matter how crazy Sasaki is, he also knows the effect of the trenches on the soldiers, "Yo Sai, the people of Shina have been repelled by our army!" Charge the whole army! Occupy the trenches of the Chinese people! Shao Zuo raised his command knife.
"Ding!" With a crisp sound, Sasaki Shaosa, who has always been known for his strong strength, felt a huge force coming from the knife, and this force was not something he could resist at all, his right hand was numb, and the handle of the knife left his hand directly!
"Yikes! My knives! "Although the knife is not a precious and good knife, it is also a symbol of the status of His Excellency Shaozuo, and it is a junior officer in the Japanese army commanding the knife, how can this thing be lost casually? Sasaki hurriedly turned around to look, "Ahhh A terrible scream sounded not far away, Shao Zuo couldn't help but look at the sound, and saw that a military cao was holding his stomach and bowing his head and howling in pain, and this military cao had a saber inserted in his lower abdomen!
Is this guy going to commit suicide by caesarean section? Sure enough, he was a brave samurai! This was Sasaki's first impression, but he soon realized that something was wrong. The battle is not over yet, and Sasaki's troops have not encountered any irreversible defeat, so why would this army Cao commit suicide? Even if it's a suicide, then you should use your own saber, right? This military Cao's knife is obviously still hanging in his waist, whose knife is the knife stuck in this guy's stomach?
Familiar, very familiar! Hey? Isn't that your own command knife? Sasaki looked at the empty right hand, and then looked at the scabbard hanging from his waist, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his head, Shaozo immediately discovered the whereabouts of the command knife, it turned out that his command knife had arrived at Okamoto Juncao just now!
