Chapter 56: Small Fish Eat Big Fish
The 225th Wing, which had lost its troops, was like a terminally ill and slow old man at this time, while Yu Dazhi and Ye Kong were young people who were quick and ghostly, and they only led a small group of mercenaries to play the tactics of the mercenary troops. Far away from the sniper, the Japanese army chased after him and turned around and ran, even if he killed a Japanese soldier, he immediately changed his position, not even for a moment. Looking at the small group of troops or the top soldiers who came out of the Japanese army, they immediately attacked with large firepower, and until the Japanese troops who came to help arrived, these guys would scatter and withdraw in groups, and the reinforcements didn't know who they should chase.
Wing Captain Takeda Dingzo had a very bad feeling in his heart from the moment he encountered a big explosion by the Shitan River, and he felt that this attack on Zhangwu County was very likely to be defeated, and if he didn't do it, he would take his own life and the entire 225th Wing. But this operation was snatched by the division commander himself from the Taiyuan Military Department, and if he returned in vain, the guy who ate on his neck might have to move. From the beginning of crossing the stone beach, with the march of the troops, the gunfire has not stopped, and the names on the list of Japanese soldiers on the hands of Takeda Dingzo are getting longer and longer, and before they see the city wall of Zhangwu County, his 225th Wing has suffered no less than three percent of casualties, which almost drives Takeda Dingzo crazy.
"Dasa, the wounded soldiers we left behind have just been attacked by the Shina people, and when the support troops rushed over, all the wounded soldiers had been shattered, and even the ambulance soldiers were all killed" Yano, the adjutant of Takeda Dingzo, wept silently, and his own brother who was injured in the lower limb was in that wounded soldier point. When Yano was saddened by the loss of his brother, he forgot that after entering the Chinese war zone, he took his younger brother to burn and loot in the Chinese villages, and Ye Kong and they did this just to recover a little blood debt for the people who died at their guns, of course, such debts are interest-bearing and very high.
Takeda Dingzo just waved his hand to signal Yano to leave, and there was no anger as Yano imagined, but he knew that Takeda Dingzo was already full of anger at this time, and his calm face was full of gloom. "Order the troops to speed up their advance and act arbitrarily for three days after breaking through Zhangwu County" Takeda Dingzo's order surprised the officers around him, and then there was a burst of cheers. This order of Takeda Dingsan undoubtedly loosened the control of the troops, as long as Zhangwu County was attacked, the troops could do whatever they wanted for three days, thinking of the silky skin and graceful body of the woman, the officers couldn't help but look at each other and smile, their eyes were full of bestiality.
It's just that Zhutian Dingsan underestimated Zhangwu County, he thought that Zhangwu County was a natural town like Madian, and there were no defense facilities at all, and when he stood on a small hill outside the county seat and looked at Zhangwu County, he was shocked by the high city wall of the county seat. His 225th Wing has lost most of its heavy weapons, and the rest is only some mortars and grenadiers, and there are only a few heavy machine guns that can shoot bullets.
Just as Takeda Daizo was pondering, a gunshot suddenly sounded from the rear of the 225th Wing, followed by an explosion. "What's going on? Where to shoot? Takeda looked behind him with a telescope, and what entered his line of sight were Japanese soldiers who were hiding in a panic, but the attackers who were causing panic could not even see a shadow. Baga, these fools have lost all the face of the empire" Looking at the panicked soldiers under his command, Takeda Dingsantetsu blushed, and sent two officers to rush over to gather the soldiers to stabilize the rear line.
"Boom" "Boom" Before the officers sent by Takeda Dingzo arrived at the rear line, they were bombarded in the air by two mortar shells, and they were accompanied by several soldiers who gathered around the officers. "Boom" and "Boom" were two more mortar shells that fell into the formation of the 225th Wing, although the lethality was not good, but the psychological pressure on the soldiers of the 25th Wing was extremely great. Without heavy weapons, they are like children who are defenseless, and the attackers hiding in the shadows can attack them at any time as long as they use these long-range firepower until they have used up all their shells.
As a wing commander, Takeda was naturally not an officer who could take a beating on his own, and he soon sent a search team in squadrons to start searching the surrounding terrain. Thousands of Japanese soldiers carried out a large search scene, and the snipers and scouts hiding around the Japanese had to start retreating with weapons and ammunition, and many of them, the Japanese took control of the situation and drove the mercenaries who wanted to attack them out of the range of their shelling. Takeda Dingsan didn't know that there were only a few hundred soldiers of the Eighth Route Army left in Zhangwu County, and the mercenaries who could still act under Zhao Zhi were all released from the city, and each team of 10 people was issued with 2 or two mortars or grenadiers, as well as snipers and submachine gunners, Zhao Zhi just wanted to use the method of eating big fish with small fish, and slowly consume the 225 Wing in one bite.
Zhao Zhi knew that with the existing strength of himself and the Eighth Route Army, he would not be able to really defeat the 225th Wing, even if he had tanks and ironclad vehicles in his hands. The mercenaries under him are best at running and ambush warfare, positional warfare and defensive warfare are not their strong points, if it weren't for the large amount of supplies hoarded in the county, Zhao Zhi was afraid that after ambushing the 225th Wing at Stone Beach, he retreated to Xi'an with the mercenaries. After using the casualty figures of Kessler's machine gunners, it can already be proved that Zhao Zhi was right, blindly guarding the county and commanding to weaken the combat power of the mercenaries, so Zhao Zhi released all the mercenaries out of the county seat.
"Sir, our people can't be relied on at all, the back line of the little devil is too tightly defended" The infiltration failed again, and Yan Wudao, who was almost shot, ran back. This is the third infiltration that Yan Wudao led the mercenaries, but he was still blocked back by the well-defended Japanese army, and the mercenaries under Yan Wudao were wounded several times by the Japanese army.
"Don't worry, let the snipers go up and play with them slowly, it's not time for us to really shoot" Zhao Zhi slowly put down the binoculars in his hand, Yan Wudao and their several infiltration actions, he saw them all in the binoculars. There are actually a lot of loopholes in the seemingly tight Japanese rear line, and Zhao Zhi is still waiting, waiting for the Japanese army to reveal bigger loopholes before launching that fatal blow.
