Chapter 470: Helpless?

No one was more familiar with the terrain of his own defense zone than the Third Regiment. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Therefore, ten companies of nearly 2,000 Liaodong troops easily touched the forest 50 meters away from the official road, and even more, some bold companies directly touched the position less than 30 meters away from the official road.

As soon as the appointed time came, Li Zhilong ordered the guards to fire three flares into the sky.

Ten infantry companies, like wolves smelling blood, jumped up from the lurking point and immediately paved the official road with their weapons in hand.

Of these, the machine gunner is undoubtedly the fastest.

As soon as he stood up from the hiding point with a machine gun in his arms, he fired bullets at the official road.

In particular, where the Japanese troops stacked their weapons and ammunition, at least one light machine gun was staring.

As long as the Japanese army wants to recapture the weapons and equip themselves, they can immediately attract a fierce attack from machine gun bullets.

Taking advantage of the heavy losses of the Japanese army, there were no weapons to counterattack. The riflemen quickly rushed towards the official road.

As he rushed, he pulled out a grenade.

As soon as everyone rushed to a position thirty meters away from the official road, the grenade that was already in their hands was thrown out by them.

After throwing one grenade, he immediately took out the second grenade, pulled out the fuse, and threw it again at the official road......

After all the three grenades they were carrying were exhausted, they picked up their rifles again and pounced again on the official road, which had been completely enveloped in gunsmoke.

Nearly a hundred light machine guns fired wildly, and at least 5,000 grenades killed continuously.

The Japanese army, which did not even get their weapons, suffered heavy losses.

Although there were many Japanese soldiers who hid in the puddles and escaped. But without weapons, they were muddy and unable to move, so they could only watch the Liaodong Army rush in front of them.

"Papapa......" saw that there were still Japanese troops moving on the official road close at hand, and the riflemen with rifles also fired.

With a shooting distance of a few meters to more than ten meters, the recruits who have just left the recruit training camp can hit the target, not to mention that the three regiments are all veterans who have been in the army for half a year.

Every time a gunshot rang out, there must have been a moving Japanese soldier on the official road who was beaten out of a bloody hole.

Soon, the messy gunfire became sparse, and the excited riflemen rushed to the official road full of Japanese corpses.

"****, what are you still doing? Clean up the battlefield, take the weapons and ammunition of the Japanese army, and retreat immediately! The platoon commander of the army raised his pistol to search for possible remnants of the enemy, and at the same time spoke loudly and kindly.

Because the weapons and ammunition of the Japanese army, including grenades, were stacked together, which was just cheaper than the three regiments that had already rushed to the official road.

In less than two minutes, all the weapons and ammunition piled up were distributed over the shoulders of the riflemen.

"Retreat, immediately retreat to the forest for transfer!" The platoon commander of the company, who was scattered along the official road, immediately ordered.

At this time, the Japanese army, which had not been attacked, found their weapons one after another and launched an attack on the Liaodong Army with a roar.

However, he didn't expect that the regiment commander Li Jun was placed at the edge of the assault position with the most elite guard company in the whole regiment.

As soon as the 10 light machine guns reinforced by the guard company fired, the Japanese soldiers who were only armed with rifles were killed, no matter how many people rushed up.

Knowing that it was impossible for them to rush through, the riflemen who assisted the sappers in building the road immediately stopped the attack and waited for the main force of the division to send heavy machine guns.

But while the heavy machine guns they were waiting for were still on the road, the guard company had already received the order to retreat.

Under the cover of the powerful fire of ten light machine guns, the Japanese army, who was unwilling, could only watch as the Liaodong Army returned to the forest and disappeared without a trace.

The chief of staff of the Japanese army, who heard the gunshots, was just about to send someone to the front to see what was going on? The gunfire stopped.

Because the exchange of fire was too short, the Japanese chief of staff did not pay much attention to it, despite the violent grenade explosion in the middle.

However, it didn't take long for the division commander, who had been ordered to assist the sappers to repair the road, rushed over with a solemn face.

"Chief of Staff, the troops were raided by the Liaodong Army, and the road repair troops suffered heavy losses!"

"Nani, heavy losses in the troops? It seems that the exchange of fire just now was less than three minutes, how much can the troops lose? The chief of staff asked rhetorically with a look of disbelief.

The division commander replied with a calm face: "The sappers lost one and a half companies, almost two thousand people, and the infantry lost one company and one infantry brigade, almost four thousand riflemen...... That's about 6,000 people in total! ”

"Impossible, absolutely impossible, no matter how powerful the enemy is, it is impossible to destroy so many of our soldiers in such a short time. Even if there are 6,000 pigs, it is impossible to kill them all in such a short time, let alone 6,000 well-equipped soldiers! "The chief of staff seemed to have heard a big joke, and he still had a look of disbelief.

The division commander who had no choice but to tell the battle he had just experienced.

At this time, the chief of staff had nothing but shock on his face.

After reacting, the whole person was like an angry lion, and scolded loudly: "Bage Yalu, cunning Liaodong Army, I want to kill you all and let you pay for your blood debts!" ”

"Miyamoto-kun, have you caught up with those sneak attacking Liaodong troops, I will kill them all......"

The division commander shook his head and replied: "The enemy is too cunning, he will retreat after fighting, and the whole raid will be over in less than five minutes." And the main force of the division is at least a kilometer away from the battlefield, and by the time the reinforcements arrive at the battlefield with heavy machine guns, the Liaodong Army, which attacked us, has disappeared without a trace! ”

"I was worried that if I continued to pursue, I might be conspired by the Liaodong Army, so I ordered the troops to stop the pursuit!"

"Baga, they must have seen that the troops were building roads without anyone to protect them, and there was no one to guard them, so they seized the opportunity to raid us. The Liaodong Army is indeed a group of cunning foxes. As long as you show a little flaw, you will be caught by them, eight checks! ”

At this time, the commander of another division on the side reminded very cautiously: "With yesterday's losses, we have lost tens of thousands of soldiers before we have taken Anshan County. Chief of staff, at such a rate of loss, before we reach Liaozhong, more than half of the 50,000 elites will be lost, which is not in line with our purpose of sending troops in the first place. How to fight next, please be cautious to the chief of staff! ”

"It's definitely going to be hit. The joint battle, which was finally organized, must not be so fruitless. ”

"However, in the next battle, we must control the casualties of the troops. The best way is not to give the Liaodong Army any flaws. ”

"Now the Liaodong Army is divided into two, and it is not our opponent in terms of strength or firepower. As long as we go hand in hand and don't give the Liaodong army a chance, they won't be able to help us. ”

"Miyamoto-kun, you continue to send people to build roads. This time, you must send no less than two wings of officers and men to patrol and guard the official road, set up all the heavy machine guns, and not give the Liaodong Army any opportunity to take advantage of it. ”

"In addition, order a field artillery wing to set up guns in place and provide artillery support to the infantry at any time."

"I want to see how his Liaodong Army can sneak attack us with such a careful arrangement!"

On the hill a few kilometers away, the regiment commander Li Jun had just returned from the battle when he saw the new layout of the Japanese army.

The smile on his face that had just been revealed because of the huge results of the battle was suddenly replaced by seriousness.

"Division commander, the Japanese army's reaction speed is too fast. This is such a big reaction to this raid, three kilometers of official roads, a heavy machine gun position every fifty meters, plus the infantry squads that are constantly patrolling, we want to repeat the old trick, it is almost impossible! ”

"Not only the infantry, but even the artillery moved. A wing of field artillery has been repaired and ready to cover us with artillery fire at any time. Li Zhilong also replied with a calm face.

At this time, in the face of the careful arrangement of the Japanese army, Li Zhilong and Li Jun both had a feeling of helplessness. (To be continued.) )
