Chapter 42: Fishing
"Open the artillery, open the artillery, suppress them with artillery fire" The Japanese side also opened fire, but unfortunately after the three rounds of shells, the mercenaries had already withdrawn with their own things, and the shells from the Japanese army were at most for the people in Ding'an City to help turn over the farmland or fields, and the whistling shrapnel did not cause any casualties.
"This dog's little devil is really fierce enough, as if we have something to do with them" Tang Lei, who was squatting in the anti-artillery hole and smoking, covered his ears impatiently, and kept nagging in his mouth while smoking. After a submachine gun squad lurking on the flank of the Japanese puppet army swept away the top soldiers of the people, the Japanese puppet army on the opposite side was like crazy, first shelling the submachine gun team's lurking point, and then began to extend the artillery fire, fortunately he obeyed the order of the gentleman early and dug a trench here, otherwise these brothers who followed him to block the enemy outside the city might have to go to see God.
Tang Lei's trench where they hid was 500 meters away from the gate of Ding'an, the terrain here was slightly higher, and there was a forest not far behind them, even if Tang Lei and they couldn't withstand the attack of the Japanese puppet army, they could hide in the forest and escape. "Boom" With the last cannon sound, the extended artillery fire of the Japanese army finally stopped, and before the smoke dissipated, Tang Lei poked his head out of the trench, "Oh, why didn't the little devil charge?" "The Japanese have been firing for a while, not to mention continuing to send out sharp soldiers, and even their formation is beginning to shrink backwards.
"Contact the city immediately, pull out the 92-step cannon and fight again, if you don't beat the fire of the Japanese army, the 92-step cannon will not be withdrawn" Zhao Zhi, who stayed outside the city, got Tang Lei's feedback on the situation, pondered for a while, and then came up with a countermeasure. The Japanese army had just experienced a long journey that lasted 5 days, and it was impossible to launch an attack on Ding'an City immediately, but such an unusually shrinking front was somewhat unexpected by Zhao Zhi.
There are only two possibilities for the Wuxiang Japanese puppet army to do this, either they are recuperating and recovering their vitality and launching an attack, or they are waiting for the follow-up reinforcements from other directions to attack Ding'an City before and after. Such a reaction of the Wuxiang Japanese puppet army is not a situation that Zhao Zhi wants to see, Zhao Zhi's strength and the Wuxiang Japanese puppet army are currently in a ratio of one to two, if the Japanese puppet army troops come from other directions to form a flanking situation on Ding'an City, Zhao Zhi and these 4,000 Jewish soldiers are likely to be in danger.
"Tang Lei, let our snipers and artillery squads out, as long as the Japanese puppet army troops from Wuxiang have been shrinking and closing the defensive line, let the brothers under them let go, the 92 step cannon has little effect on us, even if the shells are gone, it doesn't matter" The motor gang insisted on fire in the mountains and forests, if it wasn't for the walkie-talkie message in the city, these guys were still ready to play with the Japanese puppet army in Wuxiang outside the city for a while. Zhao Zhi, who would listen to this, asked them to let go of their hands to fight, and the motors were desperately loaded with ammunition one by one, if it weren't for the inconvenience of carrying the Browning heavy machine gun, the motors would have the heart to carry the heavy machine gun out of the city to teach the Japanese puppet army in Wuxiang a lesson.
"The old rule, let's still play fishing this time, mortars and grenadiers muddy the water first, the 92 rifle is staring at their artillery position, as long as their artillery dares to fight back, the 92 rifle will try to knock them out, the sniper 10 people in a group with walkie-talkies spread out to take advantage of the chaos to go down to the river to fish" Tang Lei's bullet bag is also stuffed and bulging, always staying in the trenches to be bombed, Tang Lei's stomach is also holding a belly of fire, he plans to follow the sniper to touch it this time.
Touching fish is the internal jargon of the mercenaries, it is a tactic for them to encircle and annihilate the opponent in the form of long-distance sniping, there is no such content in the training plan of the mercenaries, this is still a new tactic that Ye Kong and Zhang Jinquan took the snipers up the mountain for training, and the novices of the motor in order to fight against the instructors. "Let's go" Tang Lei was the first to climb out of the trench, and his body was still covered with a camouflage net of the same color as the blades of grass, and even the body of the sniper rifle was wrapped with grass-green strips of cloth.
The 92 rifles were pushed out of the hidden exit of the trenches, and the artillery squads carrying mortars and grenadiers began to move forward, compared to the 92 rifles, the mortars and grenadiers they carried had a shorter range, and they had to move their positions forward if they wanted to bombard the Japanese puppet army troops in the distance. After the snipers in camouflage nets came out of the trenches, they first moved quickly to the flank with small steps, and then suddenly turned towards the flank that went straight into the gathering place of the Japanese puppet army in Wuxiang.
There were still 600 meters away from the Japanese puppet army in Wuxiang, Tang Lei and the others dispersed, and a group of 10 people slowly lowered their figures and began to look for a suitable sniper position. A group with Tang Lei was a group of foot soldiers, who were also responsible for informing the 92 infantry guns behind them of the location of the Japanese artillery positions, "firing the artillery" lying on the sniper position and observing the positions of the Japanese puppet army with binoculars for a while, and Tang Lei used the walkie-talkie to inform the 92 infantry guns behind of the coordinates of the bombardment.
The 92-step guns that were arranged behind the "boom" opened fire, and a cloud of smoke rose from the position of the Japanese puppet army, the sound of the cannon was the order, and the smoke was the coordinates, and the mortar squad cruising to the front heard the sound of the 92-step guns, and immediately adjusted the position of the gun mount and poured the shells they carried towards the column of smoke. Zhao Zhichai was right, the Ghost Soul Township shrank its position in order to recover its vitality, it was noon when people were hungry and tired, he planned to launch an offensive against Ding'an City after lunch, and when the shells of the 92 Infantry Cannon fell, it was just when the Ghost Soul Township had just picked up the lunch box.
Although the Japanese puppet soldiers under his command had long been lying on the ground or found cover, the other side's shelling did not cause many casualties, but the explosion of the gas Lang overturned most of the hard-earned lunch of the firehead soldiers, and it seemed that many soldiers would not be able to eat hot food at this lunchtime. "Bage Yalu, the people of China are too bad" A military cao covered in rice soup slapped the Imperial Alliance Army officer standing beside him to the ground, and the annoyance and depression in his heart made this military cao regard all the Chinese as his enemies.
"Damn, I don't have the courage to fight with other people's thunderous people, what kind of anger do you have with Lao Tzu" The officer of the Imperial Association Army who was slapped covered his red and swollen face and left with hatred, and several officers and intimate soldiers of the Imperial Association Army who had a deep friendship with him surrounded him and persuaded him. From the day of departure, they have not been smooth, first encountered an attack on the mountain road, the Japanese sent out a lot of casualties, and then for several days in a row were constantly shot and shelled, the most exaggerated is that in the morning, a 40-member Japanese spearhead squad was shot in front of them, this Japanese heart is a little angry, no wonder.
"The Japanese on this dog day are too fucking not things, those corpses in the morning are still our people to clean up, this will not take us as people in a blink of an eye" The officer of the Imperial Association Army who was slapped hated threw his military hat on the ground, and scolded with his hands on his waist, all around him were people from their Imperial Army, he was not afraid of being listened to by the Japanese soldiers, there were not many Japanese soldiers in Wuxiang who could speak Chinese, even if his voice was loud and listened to by the Japanese soldiers, they didn't know what they were talking about.
The officer of the Imperial Association Army who was slapped happened to be the squadron leader in the Wuxiang Imperial Association Army, and there were more than 400 soldiers of the Imperial Association Army under his hands, and when the shell of the 92-step gun fell just now, this squadron leader was smoking together with the Japanese army's military Cao, which was originally a very common act of patting, but who would have thought that because the shell overturned the cauldron of porridge, he would be slapped by the military Cao's mouth for no reason.
"Damn, what kind of warriors of the Japanese Empire, this is not just a few small soldiers who are thundered by others are scared and dare not attack, Thunder has not yet shot, if it is really hit by the thunder people, this guy may run faster than us, if it is not good, it will pull us as a cushion to go up and send it to death" Seeing that the officers around him were a little reluctant and did not dare to cater to their own words, the squadron leader who was beaten took another fierce drug, and repeatedly claimed that the Japanese were frightened by the thunder people.
The Imperial Allied Army is not only not treated well by the people, but even the Japanese army that has incorporated them does not look down on them very much, mainly because the Imperial Allied Army has low combat effectiveness, and it will often be defeated with one blow when it encounters a strong enemy. In the Imperial Army, there were not only the local troops of the former National Government who had no choice but to surrender after being abandoned by the Nationalist Government, but also a large number of ruffians and bullies recruited by the Japanese army, and the only purpose of these people joining the Imperial Army was to make a living.
The beating squadron leader's fan still worked, and the faces of the officers of the Imperial Allied Army who had a good relationship with him were a little unsightly, the defeat of the Japanese army was obvious to them, and the attacks for several days in a row caused a lot of casualties among the Japanese troops in Wuxiang, although there were also casualties in the Imperial Allied Army, but now in this mixed unit of the Japanese puppet army, the number of the Imperial Allied Army is far more than that of the Japanese army. According to the Japanese army's previous tactics, when launching an attack on Ding'an City, it was indispensable for them to send people to the Imperial Allied Army to fight the vanguard or follow the attack, and the officers knew very well what the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Allied Army soldiers under their command was.
