Chapter 184: Bloody Battle of Teng County (3)
When the order was issued, more than 1,000 Japanese troops quickly dispersed, and a small group of Japanese infantry began to disperse from the large army, lined up in a straggler formation, and quietly advanced towards the south gate of Tengxian County under the leadership of a Japanese second lieutenant officer.
Most of the officers and soldiers of the Dragon's Tooth were hiding in trench bunkers, motionless.
Qiao Youhua was lying in a single pit, holding a telescope and secretly observing.
"The devil is quite cautious, and sent a team to explore the way." Qiao Youhua held the binoculars and smiled.
Liu Yidao next to him asked: "Tuanzuo, are we fighting or not?" ”
"No need to fight, our purpose is to block the Seya detachment under the city of Fuji County, it is better to delay the time, anyway, we can afford it, let the little devil step on the thunder himself!" After Qiao Youhua finished speaking, he put away the binoculars, slid down, hid his body under the fortifications, took out only half a pack of cigarettes, took out two, and threw them to Liu Yidao.
I ordered one, took two sips and said, "Wait and see the show!" ”
Liu Yidao caught the cigarette, sniffed it on his nose, smiled, took out a match and lit it himself, and began to lean on the trench and smoke it beautifully.
Outside the position, about sixty devil infantry had already walked into the minefield arranged by the Dragon's Tooth Task Force without realizing it.
Because the Dragon's Tooth officers and soldiers covered up or removed the blood stains on the ground when they set up the minefield, the devil soldiers did not find out that there was a battle here.
Still holding a gun, he slowly approached forward with a vigilant expression.
Suddenly, a devil fell under his feet, his face changed greatly, and before he could exclaim, boom! A violent explosion engulfed him.
This unlucky devil soldier stepped on a chain of mines, and his side had just exploded, boom, boom, and several other mines exploded one after another.
No less than five or six devils died on the spot.
A series of explosions threw the other devil soldiers into chaos, and before the second lieutenant officer could react, they ran in all directions in fright, triggering other minefields.
"Boom, boom, boom......" Explosions burst out from the ground, and the flames and smoke soon filled the air.
When the sound of the explosion stopped and the smoke had not completely dissipated, the second lieutenant of the devil and the remaining twenty or thirty devils fled in a hurry.
Seeing this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch, and his angry face was iron-blue: "Yaga Yalu!" What's going on. ”
The captain of the devil next to him, Nakasa, immediately bowed his head and said: "General, it is obvious that this is a minefield set up by the people of China, which means that Fuji County has fallen into the hands of the people of China!" ”
Nagase Tani Kai's mood at the moment was like falling into an ice cave, pulling out the cold, but he didn't directly express himself in front of his subordinates.
Tengxian fell into the hands of the Chinese army, and needless to say, the garrison squadron and the cavalry squadron sent before must be all over, and now there is a strong enemy in front of his Seya detachment, and there are pursuers in the rear, it is really impossible to advance or retreat!
Taking a few deep breaths and forcing himself to calm down, Kai Nagase took the lead and walked towards the back of the troops, since Fuji Prefecture has been occupied by the Shina people, it can't be too far ahead, in case it is hit by a stray bullet, it will be more than worth the loss.
Returning to the rear of the position, the devil Nakazo asked with a somewhat anxious expression: "General, what should we do next?" Should they immediately organize troops to recapture Tengxian County and open up the way for retreat, or should they build fortifications on the spot and hold on to wait for reinforcements? ”
Kei Nagase was also in a dilemma, building a defensive line on the spot, and then asking the division commander for help was undoubtedly the wisest choice, so as to maintain valuable troops and combat effectiveness to the greatest extent.
to persist in waiting for help.
However, if you don't attack Teng County, if you only attack Teng County, you will miss a precious opportunity to break through?
After weighing it again and again, Nagase Tani Kei resolutely decided: "Immediately organize troops to attack, be sure to break through the blocking position of the Shina people, and open up the lifeline for the main force of the detachment to retreat north!" ”
"Hay!" After receiving the order, the devil Nakasa suddenly bowed his head and answered, and immediately strode away with his saber on his shoulder, and began to prepare for the attack.
The units of the Japanese army at the level of a brigade were not equipped with separate artillery units, at best they were a few mortars, and as for the grenadiers, they were equipped with quite a few, and each squad had one or two.
However, the effective range of this thing is less than 300 meters, and it belongs to the combat follow-up support fire, covering the attack of the troops, and it is impossible to launch artillery bombardment on the enemy before the offensive begins.
Therefore, the forward brigade of Kei Nagase only concentrated the only six 60mm mortars in the whole brigade and used them, and just now they tested the minefield and surrounding area where the team was attacked, and launched a not very fierce artillery bombardment.
Qiao Youhua and Liu Yidao were smoking in the trenches, when suddenly an explosion came from outside, and a lot of dust was blown up by the shock wave, fell into the trenches, and fell on top of their heads.
Liu Yidao hurriedly shook his head: "Bah, bah!" The little devil looks like he's going to attack! ”
"Don't panic, it's just a 60mm mortar, and we didn't show our heads to attack just now, the devils are mainly shelling the minefield where they were attacked, besides, with the characteristics of our ring fortifications, even if they shell our trench positions, it will be difficult to cause effective damage!
However, the devil is going to attack! Qiao Youhua spit out the cigarette that only had a cigarette butt left in his mouth, and said sharply: "Pass the order, everyone is not allowed to show their heads, and after the artillery bombardment with devils is over, immediately prepare for battle and prepare to attack!" ”
The six 60mm mortars of the "Boom Boom Boom Boom ......" devils had already carried out four rounds of shelling in the blink of an eye, and one after another the shells fell into the minefield and exploded, producing a great deal of gunsmoke.
Although it failed to cause substantial damage to the officers and soldiers hiding in the trenches, it destroyed many mines in the minefield, saving the trouble of mine clearance.
The devil's shelling finally lasted nine rounds, and before the smoke cleared, the devil Nakasa waved his command knife violently: "Kill Gaga!" ”
Those who had already been prepared, more than 200 devil infantry rushed up one after another, swarming towards the position of the Dragon's Tooth Task Force like a tide.
Several improvised Type 92 heavy machine guns also roared, providing fire cover for the attacking troops, although they did not find out where the target was.
In the minefield filled with gunpowder, more than 200 devil soldiers rushed in with guns in a hurry, and before they could rush out of this gunpowder smoke area, a roar of light and heavy machine guns suddenly sounded in front of them.
"Dada...... Da ......" A dense rain of hot bullets, through the thick smoke, shot head-on into the devil attacking crowd.
The devil soldiers who couldn't dodge were suddenly shot and fell down in groups like wheat harvesting, and the miserable howls began to resound.
