Chapter 18: Ambush (2)

The combat qualities of the Japanese veterans were tempered by the fires of war, and although the mountain roads were full of flying bullets, they still hid under the cars to fight back. The Japanese soldiers, who had escaped the first round of fire, slowly gathered together under the cover of their own men, and began to confront the Jewish soldiers on the mountain with the help of their cars. Their light and heavy machine guns were also slowly erected by the Japanese army using their own bodies as covers, intact grenadiers, mortars began to fire back, and Zhao Zhi's firepower was suppressed a lot at once.

Xiao Ziyun was in a hurry, but Zhao Zhi was still expressionless, and just decisively ordered the Bazooka team to fire. The Bazooka group, which received the order, no longer cared about it, and a group of dozens of rockets fell on the road together, and the "boom boom" improved Bazooka rockets really had different responses, but with the explosion of rockets one after another, the ammunition trucks on the road were also detonated.

Zhao Zhi didn't have the idea of seizing this batch of Japanese-style ammunition, when the first wave of explosives was detonated, the 200 military vehicles escorted by the Morimu Brigade were overturned a lot, and the reason why the ammunition trucks had not been martyred was because the thick quilts that Morimu had improvised at first played a certain role. The moment the rockets hit the truck, more than a dozen ammunition trucks responsible for carrying artillery shells were detonated, and the exploding ammunition trucks threw the shells that did not explode far away, and the shells that were thrown out exploded again, and then detonated the ammunition trucks next to them, so that more than 30 ammunition trucks exploded one after another, and the entire highway was instantly plunged into a sea of fire.

With the explosion of different ammunition trucks, the road was littered with bullets, grenades. Nearly a kilometer of the road was completely overwhelmed by the explosion of ammunition and a sea of fire, many Japanese soldiers hiding under the car were engulfed in flames before they could react, and those Japanese soldiers who even dodged the fire were killed alive by flying bullets and grenades in a very short time, and there was hardly a living person on the entire road. Perhaps the explosion of more than a dozen cars in a row was too shocking, and the blow to the Japanese army was too great, and the remaining Japanese troops quickly realized that the ammunition truck covered in quilts was not so safe, and maybe at any time a shell fell and sold themselves, all of these people would have to go back to see the emperor.

The Japanese soldiers who wanted to understand wanted to leave this dangerous area that would take their lives at any time, but the Jewish machine gunners on the mountain did not let them leave so easily. In the process of the transfer of Japanese troops one after another, nearly 100 devils fell under the machine guns of the independent brigade. In this way, the positions of the two sides slowly began to stabilize, the Jewish soldiers lay in the trenches between the mountains and forests, and the Japanese troops who moved to the foot of the mountain, relying on the blind spots of shooting one by one, with the help of the light and heavy machine guns they brought out from the fire to build fire points, temporarily began to confront Zhao Zhi.

At this time, Morita Nakasa, the captain of the devil, was also anxious, and when Morita heard the first explosion, he realized that he was surrounded by the Shina army, and such an attack with fire intensity would never be done by bandits and bandits. Originally, I was full of confidence and wanted to command the troops to eliminate these eight-way soldiers, but I didn't expect that after a round of explosions, I lost almost half of my troops, and seeing the terrible casualties, the captain Morita Nakasa, who was lying under the car to avoid the bullets, could no longer raise his confidence, and immediately sent a report for help to various places.

After sending a distress telegram, Moriki decided to use the terrain to confront the Shina army on the mountain, trying to hold out until reinforcements came to relieve the siege. It's a pity that his wish is about to be frustrated, because Zhao Zhi can no longer bear this kind of mutual shooting, most of the veterans in the Japanese army who survived are very accurate in marksmanship, and the Jewish soldiers under Zhao Zhi are not as good as the Japanese army when they first enter the battlefield, and the combat experience and shooting level are not as good as the Japanese army, and those machine gunners only care about holding the gun and spending all the ammunition, but they can't kill or injure many enemies, and the heavy machine gun bullets are not much, Zhao Zhi also expects to use the heavy machine gun to carry the Japanese reinforcements who come to help.

"Order, after 5 minutes of mortar bombardment, all the riflemen will charge, take advantage of the terrain here, and implement division and intersperse, be sure to divide the Japanese troops, slowly compress their positions, and destroy them one by one. Remember, in the face of a strong enemy, do not attack and cause unnecessary casualties. If the enemy has too many troops, surround me, and I will mobilize mortars to support you, and issue an order immediately" Zhao Zhi decisively made the decision to try a tactical charge.

Within a few minutes of the order, a cloud of smoke rose from the mountain and forest positions, and a large number of mortar shells rained down on the Japanese troops under the mountain road. As early as when the ambush plan was formulated, Xiao Ziyun and the others put all 20 mortars together and used them, and Zhao Zhi and the others came to carry more than 1,000 mortar shells this time, which was enough for those 20 mortars to have a good time. Each mortar had three shells in one round, and 60 shells fell on the Japanese joint in one wave, instantly tearing open more than a dozen openings in the already imtight Japanese defense line, and with the back and forth bombardment of mortars, these openings tended to grow larger and larger.

Morita Nakasa was stunned to see the attackers rushing down from the mountain forest, under the fierce strafing of more than 100 Browning heavy machine guns, the Japanese troops under the mountain were completely overwhelmed and unable to raise their heads, only a few machine guns and a few rifles provided limited fire suppression for the Japanese army, of course, these limited firepower could only cause painless casualties to the charging Jewish soldiers at most. "Baga, shrink your position immediately, shrink your position quickly, block their charge, fast, shoot, shoot" Morita waved the command knife in his hand and shouted loudly at the Japanese soldiers next to him.

Seeing the fierce counterattack fire of the Japanese army, the officers who commanded the charge shouted loudly for their soldiers to conceal the enemy, and the Japanese army's frantic counterattack suppressed the charging Jewish soldiers on the other side of the mountain road. In order to facilitate battlefield contact, Zhao Zhi equipped almost every main attack platoon with a walkie-talkie for calling for artillery support. Soon, the artillery observers, who followed behind the stormtroopering formation, reported the coordinates of the shelling to the artillery positions, and in less than a minute a whistling of mortar shells sounded in the sky.

"Boom, boom, boom......" Twenty shells fell on the Japanese position, and suddenly, a rain of blood was set off, and the position that Moriki had managed to organize was blown up at once. "Seeing that the Japanese positions were in confusion by shells, the Jewish officers immediately seized the opportunity and continued to launch a fierce charge. Hearing the order, the Jewish soldiers, who were lying on the ground, jumped to their feet and continued to charge. The part of the Browning heavy machine guns that had just been transferred down the mountain also swept towards the devil's position with a dense rain of bullets.

"Yaga, immediately shrink your defenses and seize the high ground" Morita saw the chaotic formation, immediately shouted and shouted, and moved to a nearby high ground with the guards, and the rest of the Japanese troops followed one after another, fighting back while transferring. As soon as Sen Mu retreated with his people, the defense line that participated in the hard support of the Japanese army finally collapsed, and the Jewish soldiers who poured down the mountains and forests like a flood rushed over the mountain road like a wolf, chasing the rampant Japanese army and holding on to it, and the Japanese army that retreated to the roadbed was finally divided into more than a dozen piles, and the battle situation began to tilt towards Zhao Zhi and his side.

"The 2nd Company outflanked the left flank, the 3rd Company outflanked the right, and the others followed me to make a feint attack on the front, attract enemy fire, and send a telegram to the hill asking for artillery support" Vincent, the commander of the 3rd Battalion, who was the main attacker of the charge, quickly gave the battle order. The two company commanders who received the order moved towards the flanks with their troops, while the other soldiers of the third battalion, led by Vincent, continued to charge. However, as soon as they came into contact with the devils, they immediately retreated, causing no casualties, but they succeeded in attracting most of the Japanese firepower, providing a favorable opportunity for the outflanking two companies.

The Japanese captain Morita lay behind a big rock and carefully observed the battle situation in front of the position, at this time, the devils trapped on this hill had nearly two squadrons of troops, almost all of them were elite veterans drawn from the front line, but Morita had too few heavy weapons in their hands, if they only faced the charge of the attackers, Morita believed that with the ammunition in his hands, it would definitely not be a problem to hold on to this hill for a day, but he was afraid that the attackers would use artillery fire to open the way.

"Nani? Aren't they chinensis? Moriki, who had been holding a telescope to observe the battle situation, jumped suddenly, and a golden-haired guy appeared in his binoculars, it was an ambulance soldier with a red cross logo on the sleeve of his military uniform, probably blinded by the splashed dust when he bandaged the wounds of his companions, and he was taking off his steel helmet and rubbing his eyes with the back of his hand, and the blonde hair of the ambulance soldier made Moriki's eyes full of shock.

"How so? How could this be? Moriki muttered to himself with some gasp, and as the telescope in his hand moved, Moriki found that among the attackers who were shooting at them, the Zhina people who couldn't see the face of the east wind at all, and their eyes were full of big-nosed foreigners with deep eye sockets and high nose bridges. Thunder, it must be Thunder Defense" As a captain of Nakasa who can command more than 1,000 soldiers, Moriki knows what Thunder Defense is.

What Thunder does, but Senmu and an officer of their level know very well. In the eyes of the high-ranking officers of the Japanese army, Thunder was almost the sworn enemy of the Japanese, and was the main culprit for the death of tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Japan and the hundreds of thousands of people becoming refugees. Not only that, since the appearance of Thunder in Shanxi, more than 5,000 Japanese soldiers and officers have died in their hands, and among the Chinese anti-Japanese forces, only Thunder Defense has a large number of foreigners.
