Chapter 55: The Raid (3)

"Report, the latest reconnaissance results, the Japanese wing has arranged a squadron of soldiers in the front and rear of the unit, and a squad of troops has been arranged at intervals of 500 meters on both sides of the team to patrol at intervals of one kilometer, and the security is very tight, and we have almost no chance to sneak attack the main force of the Japanese army" Zhao Zhi When they were lying on the grassy slope talking and laughing, the mercenaries with walkie-talkies on their backs ran over and made a brief report on the situation detected by the scouts in front.

"Damn, this Japanese army is cunning enough, no wonder he dares to march like this, it turns out that he is prepared, if our people make a rash move, they may be surrounded by them" After listening to the words of the foot soldiers, Niu Dashan couldn't help but scolded loudly.

"The Japanese army is quite cunning, but he has his plan, I have my countermeasures, don't they arrange a lot of patrols on both sides of the team? Okay, let's take these patrol squads, now we are going to continue to attack the Japanese troops along the way, so that they will not be able to live in peace, drag them down, drag them down" Zhao Zhi put the cigar under his nose and smelled the smell, and said leisurely as if he didn't seem to care very much.

"As long as the speed of their march is slowed down, this Japanese wing from Jinzhong will eventually become a tired army, and if you want to completely annihilate such a Japanese army, I think it should be much easier" Zhao Zhi only has 2,000 Jewish soldiers around him, and counting the mercenaries and Niu Dashan, there are only just over 2,000 people, if the Wugang United is really dragged into a tired army, Zhao Zhi's idea of wanting to fight them is much simpler.

"Immediately convey the order, take the platoon as a unit, immediately disperse to both sides of the main marching brigade of the Japanese army, specially pack up the patrol squad of the Japanese army, do not ask for total annihilation, hit and run, and must not let them stick. Also, it is necessary to control the casualties of the troops. "Zhao Zhi's Jewish companies are all 300 people, each company has 3 platoons of 80 people, and it is easy to use 80 Jewish soldiers with Garand and submachine guns to deal with a Japanese patrol team of more than 30 people.

"Sneak attack devil's patrol team, well, this is indeed a good idea, since you want to sneak attack the devil's patrol team, then the devil's guard force will be handed over to me. I can't eat them in one bite, I'll eat them in several bites, I don't believe that a company of Lao Tzu can't eat a squadron of little devils" Niu Dashan still remembered the fact that the rear guard of the Japanese army seized weapons and ammunition, especially after the ambush of the ghost near the village on the cross slope, the Browning heavy machine guns that Zhao Zhi temporarily lent him were still in his company, and with such heavy firepower weapons, it was to let Niu Dashan go to war with a brigade of the Japanese army, and it was estimated that he would dare.

The foot soldiers who got the order told the news to the Jewish companies lurking nearby in the fastest time, and after listening to the order, the Jewish soldiers in the lurking immediately came to their senses, and they all sorted out their weapons and equipment with all their hands. According to what was taught in the Thunder training syllabus, the platoon commanders of each platoon made a decision to send two experienced fighters to form a sharp soldier to reconnoiter and advance 200 meters in front of the team, and all the remaining personnel formed an offensive triangle formation to search and advance. At the same time, it is also necessary to reconnoiter the nearby enemy situation and try to find fighters as much as possible.

Soon, the platoon led by Xiao Ziyun was the first to discover the enemy's situation, and the two Jewish soldiers who were at the forefront of the team came back with good news. They found a Japanese patrol two kilometers ahead, numbering about 30 people, but less than 500 meters on the other side of this Japanese patrol was the main force of the Japanese wing. "It seems that the Japanese march is still very tight, but we are not going to fight his main wing, we are fighting his patrol team, go, lean on, look for favorable terrain, let's fight and go, never love to fight" According to the news sent back by the top soldiers, Xiao Ziyun quickly made a decision.

Soon, the group increased the speed of the march, and the one-kilometer distance was not very far for the Jewish soldiers who often participated in special training, and soon, Xiao Ziyun's platoon and the two top soldiers who came out of the front converged. "Staff Officer Xiao, there is a hillside ahead, we can ambush the Japanese army there" A mercenary who had been following Xiao Ziyun looked at the surrounding terrain and made a suggestion to Xiao Ziyun. These personal mercenaries around Zhao Zhi were all trained and taught as reserve commanders, and it was their specialty to ambush and pick up sticks, and it was easy for them to find suitable ambush terrain while on the march.

Not long after rushing up the hill and lying on the ground, more than 30 Japanese soldiers came into view. I saw that this group of Japanese soldiers was moving forward in a search formation, and from time to time they inserted two knives into the grass around them. Looking at the formation and armament of this squad, a light machine gun, a grenadier canister, and the rest are all riflemen, and all the rifles are all bayonets, looking at their fingers that pull the trigger, Xiao Ziyun concluded that the bullets in their rifles have been loaded.

The Japanese search team had already come to the front, and everyone picked up their guns and aimed at the Japanese troops at the bottom of the hillside, perhaps seeing the hillside in front of them, the Japanese team suddenly stopped at the foot of the mountain under the command of a military Cao, and this sudden change of situation suddenly disrupted Xiao Ziyun's plan to use the advantage of the terrain to sneak attack the Japanese patrol.

It turned out that the soldier in the Japanese patrol saw the hillside in front of him, and then looked at the route that his team was going to walk, and immediately became suspicious, for the safety of his team, the military cao had to be cautious, so the military cao took half of his soldiers, dangling bright bayonets and walked up the hillside, it seemed that they had to search the hillside to dispel their doubts.

"Fighting" Looking at the Japanese army that was getting closer and closer, Xiao Ziyun had to disrupt his plan and issued a combat order in advance. Of course, although the early attack affected the outcome of the attack, it could reduce your own casualties as much as possible. As soon as Xiao Ziyun's order came out, gunfire rang out on the hillside. Xiao Ziyun's snipers were the first to hit the Japanese soldier Cao, and at this moment, most of the Japanese soldiers who searched the hillside swept down with a sudden rain of bullets, including the Japanese soldier Cao and the machine gunner who were killed by the snipers.

Hearing the sound of gunshots, I saw that my companions who had gone up to the hillside to search had been shot and fell, and more than a dozen Japanese soldiers who had been left behind at the bottom of the hillside lay down one after another. The machine gunner died, and the secondary shooter hurriedly lay on the ground, and using the cover of the grass, he set up the machine gun and began to strafe the hill. At the same time, the main forces of the Japanese army marching along the foot of the mountain also reacted at the first time. A Japanese squad leader waved the command knife in his hand and led his Japanese soldiers to the reinforcements on the hillside.

"Retreat, go, go" Looking at the Japanese reinforcement team that was getting closer and closer, Xiao Ziyun quickly emptied the bullets in the chamber, and then wisely chose to retreat. Hearing the order, except for the snipers, who still kept firing their guns, maintaining their firepower and covering their comrades, the remaining Jewish soldiers put away their weapons and began to retreat, and arranged the mines with the grenades they carried in their hiding places.

Gradually, the gunfire on the hillside became weaker and weaker, and after a while, no movement was heard. The Japanese squad leader who rushed to reinforce from the avenue was very cautious, and did not let his soldiers rush up the hill at the first time, but only issued an order to attack the grenadier group that was ready. "Tong, Tong, Tong" three slight grenade chambers sounded, and three grenade grenades were thrown.

"Boom, boom, boom" three explosions sounded on the hillside, and the entire hillside was blown up to dust, and black-gray smoke rose up:. Perhaps the accuracy of the Japanese grenadiers was too good, a grenade happened to fall next to a mine set up by Xiao Ziyun and them when they evacuated, and the explosion of a grenade proved the wisdom of the decision made by the Japanese squad leader. Then three grenades exploded on the hillside, but this time there was no movement except for some dirt.

"Nani? You, lead your men to charge immediately," the Japanese squad leader looked at the silent hillside suspiciously, and shouted to a military officer beside him.

"Hi" Jun Cao, who received the order, commanded a dozen Japanese soldiers to get out of the invisible grass, holding rifles, under the cover of a light machine gun, bending over and searching and advancing towards the mountain. After a while, the top of the mountain was trampled under the feet of Juncao. After the squad leader saw all the signals of Juncao's safety, he was not happy to repel the attackers, but showed a frustrated face, and worked hard to prepare for the total annihilation of the attackers, but he didn't expect to let them escape, and he also spent 6 grenadier grenades in vain, and the patrol team also suffered nearly 20 casualties.

Just as the disappointed Japanese squad leader was about to announce his retreat, an accident happened, and a grenade explosion on the top of the mountain reached his ears, followed by several successive explosions. Soon, the lame soldier Cao took the remaining soldiers and carried two wounded men covered in blood to the front of the squad leader. "Baga, aren't there no enemies on the mountain? How so? Looking at Jun Cao, who was hit by two shrapnel in the leg, the angry Japanese squad leader did not have any pity, and gave the military Cao a few slaps with his hand.

"Report, there are indeed no people on the mountain, but the people of China have arranged mines with grenades on the mountain, and the soldiers are all injured by the mines," replied the slap-in Juncao, who endured the pain in his legs.

"Let's go down and clean up the wounds" was attacked twice in a row, a total of 28 imperial warriors were killed, and 3 seriously wounded lost their combat effectiveness, and on the other hand, on their side, in addition to consuming a certain amount of ammunition, in the end they didn't even see the shadow of the attacker, looking at the military cao who was standing in front of him whose wounds were bleeding, the Japanese squad leader exhaled depressedly.
