Chapter 35: Ling Chi
"Fujita Shaoza, Dazuo orders your squad to continue to serve as a striker." The expressionless Fujita Sabei took the cigarette handed by the herald, and before he could put it in his pocket, a strong uneasiness suddenly rose in his heart. "Pop" Fujita Zuobei has not completely crouched on the ground, he heard a soft sound in his ears, and then the back of his neck was covered with a piece of warmth, and he turned his head to see that the herald who was standing with him just now had fallen to the ground, and with the unconscious convulsions of his body, the head that had been cut off by the bullet was still sprayed with plasma.
"Vomit" The white substance in the blood puddle was steaming hot, and the forced Fujita Left Guard couldn't help but vomit out the rice balls that had just been eaten in his stomach, the red was blood, and the white was naturally the brain, could it still be a tofu brain. "Enemy attack, enemy attack." Fujita, who didn't have time to wipe his mouth, pulled his throat and began to shout as he pulled the trigger of the dropped rifle next to the herald. "Poof" and "poof" made two soft sounds, and Fujita Left Guard, whose fingers had been attached to the rifle trigger guard, flipped sideways.
The bullet hole in his neck was spewing blood arrows like a fountain, and the other bullet hole was in Fujita's right shoulder, and the bullet completely shattered his shoulder blade, and he couldn't pull the trigger. There were two people who were shot in the squad that stopped on the side of the road to rest, and the rest of the Kwantung Army soldiers also reacted, this was an attack, but the bullets fired by the other party could not hear the gunshots, and the other soldiers in Fujita's squad could only drag the body of their commander backwards.
"Poof", "Poof", "Poof", "Poof" The enemies hiding in the shadows did not seem to want to let them go, as if bullets appeared out of thin air one after another to knock the retreating soldiers to the ground, and the blood mist released from their bodies almost dyed the road red. After the three companions made cover with their own bodies, the light machine guns that had been replaced by four gunners finally fired, and the shooters operating the machine guns did not know where the enemy was hiding, so they had to follow the instructions of the soldiers to strafe suspicious locations on both sides of the road.
"When" the fifth machine gunner, who had only fired half of the magazine, fell to the ground on his back, and the bullet fired by the enemy hit the steel helmet of the machine gunner through the gap in the "bunker", and it was not known what weapon the enemy was using, anyway, the steel helmet on the machine gunner's head was pierced by the bullet. The soldiers of the Kwantung Army on the highway voluntarily gave up the light machine gun after losing the sixth machine gunner, and then the remaining 30 soldiers jumped directly off the road and hid themselves in the muddy water like leeches in the rice fields, fortunately it had rained last night, otherwise they would not have found the muddy water to hide themselves.
There were more than 30 corpses lying on the empty road, and the wounded who had not been killed by the bullets screamed or howled as their bodies writhed, perhaps for five minutes, or ten minutes later, and there were no more casualties among the soldiers lying in the muddy water. It wasn't until the rear team that heard the gunfire rushed up and roared, and the surviving soldiers who had made themselves like leeches got up and went onto the road, but unfortunately the four wounded on the road who could have been saved had died, and the cause of death was naturally caused by excessive blood loss.
"Yaga, you have disgraced the face of the Kwantung Army." Hearing the news, the captain of the brigade Fujita Hano, he couldn't wait to pull down all these guys standing in front of him and cut off his head, Fujita Sakei who commanded the team was his own nephew, and the nephew who had dinner with him before leaving in the morning would become a stiff corpse, Fujita Yuo didn't know how to tell his brother the bad news. The nephew is the only male in his and his brother's two families, and he is the hope for the revival of the Fujita family.
"Poof" was in full view of everyone, and the squatting figure of Fujita Hano suddenly fell, and blood sprayed on his head with a soft military hat. "Protect the Great Zo" "Enemy attack, concealment." "The highway was chaotic again, shouting and everything, but more people's first reaction was to lower their bodies and jump off the road or lie down next to the corpse. After the strange enemy hit Fujita Yuo in the head with a bullet, it disappeared as if it had never appeared, and hundreds of Kwantung Army soldiers lay on the ground stupidly for more than half an hour before finally being sure that the enemy had left.
"Motherfucker, they're all stupid." The motor with the camouflage net on his body has slowly withdrawn from the distance, and the three snipers who shot with him have also withdrawn safely, if it weren't for the fact that he wanted to cause the forward troops of the Kwantung Army to cause Sanfang Mountain, the motor they almost shot all these Kwantung Army directly on the road just now. Even if you can't kill the entire Kwantung Army, at least you can temporarily lose the combat effectiveness of this Kwantung Army brigade, and those officers and machine gunners will definitely not be able to escape.
According to Zhao Zhi's new order, Mada divided his 200 snipers into 50 teams in groups of 4 people, and there will be sniper teams on the way from Karatsu to Saga, and their task is to consume as much of the combat effectiveness of the Kwantung Army as possible while blocking the Kwantung Army layer by layer. Motors were the first group to shoot, and there was another group of snipers lurking two miles behind them, and after submitting the mission, the motors and the snipers in their own group would move towards the Matsumatsu Uragawa.
After carefully doing the sand table deduction, Zhao Zhi transferred the motor squadron that was supposed to be withdrawn to the Sanfang Mountain to set up an ambush to the Songpu River, which also has mountains, which is not only more suitable than the Sanfang Mountain to ambush the Kwantung Army troops, but also the Songpu River is the only way for the Kwantung Army to go from Karatsu to Saga. What's more, there is a road in Songpu River, which is suitable for Zhao Zhi to mobilize other mercenary troops to rush over to support the motor squadron, and if necessary, Zhao Zhi will also use the road along the road to prepare supplies for the motor in advance to prepare supplies captured from the Japanese army.
After a series of strange attacks, the 23rd Division of the Kwantung Army, which was the main force for landing in Karatsu Bay, suspended its advance, and this Kyushu Division, which was rebuilt after the Battle of Nomenhan, had 15,000 soldiers and the source of soldiers was from Kyushu Island, so their feelings for Kyushu were irreplaceable by other Kwantung Army units. After examining the bodies that died in the attack, the 23rd Division came to the conclusion that the enemy was ambushing itself with a large number of snipers, and if this was not intentional, then there was only one reason, the enemy was seriously underarmed, and they were only delaying the advance of the 23rd Division to the interior of Kyushu.
The 64th Infantry Wing, which had the strongest combat effectiveness, was placed first, at the suggestion of Wing Commander Mitsuo Hashimoto, and of the three infantry wings of the 23rd Division, only the 64th Wing had the most soldiers from Kurume, and they were far more familiar with Saga than the other two infantry wings. The 64th Wing was in the first place, followed by the 71st and 72nd Infantry Wings, followed by the 23rd Division's baggage wing and the 13th Field Artillery Wing, which was replaced with infantry weapons, and the search team belonging to the 23rd Division was placed on the flanks of the 64th Wing.
Relying on its familiarity with the terrain, the 23rd Division thought that its arrangement was seamless, and not only put the 64th Wing, which had the strongest combat effectiveness, at the forefront, but also arranged the search team on both flanks to coordinate, so that as long as it crossed Saga, the 64th Wing, which was familiar with the terrain, would use the terrain to defeat the enemy like a dragon entering the sea. In addition, behind the 64th Wing, there are two infantry wings of the 71st and 72nd Wings that are closely followed to provide support at any time, as long as the traces of the enemy are caught, victory will not escape.
Of course, Zhao Zhi didn't know about the arrangement of the 23rd Division, if he knew the plan of the 23rd Division, I am afraid that Zhao Zhi would laugh and couldn't sleep all night. There is also a division from Kyushu in the Kwantung Army, that is, the 24th Division that has been transferred to the Philippine battlefield, if it is the 24th Division, I am afraid that Zhao Zhi and their life will be much sader, but now it is the 23rd Division that was completely disabled in the Battle of Normenhan. The current 23rd Division is a reconstructed division like the 6th Division that fought in Asakura earlier, and the rebuilt 23rd Division is full of recruits, not to mention that there are not so many anti-union troops in the Northeast to train the 23rd Division, so the 23rd Division, which was transferred back to the mainland by relying on its familiarity with the terrain, is now at most a third-rate division.
There is a staffing equivalent to the first division, but the combat effectiveness is the strength of the third-rate division, which is the true portrayal of the 23rd Division, which is also the main reason why the 23rd Division has to call back the local battle against the thunder, because they need a big victory that is firmly remembered by the Kwantung Army Headquarters, only in this way can the 23rd Division wash away the shame of losing in the Battle of Nomenhan. After some hard work, the 23rd Division, which was supposed to honestly go south to the mountainous area of Shandong, transferred to North Korea day and night to Pusan, but the 23rd Division, which was across the sea, could not wait to mobilize more large ships, so it hurriedly boarded the ship and crossed Tsushima Island and landed in Dangjin Bay.
In order not to delay the march of the troops, the field artillery wing of the 23rd Division even left all the field artillery in the port of Busan, and all the artillery now only had grenadiers, rifles and mortars in exchange for field artillery, and the 13th field artillery wing has now become the fourth infantry wing of the 23rd Division, and if necessary, they will eventually be used as infantry charges.
Naturally, things were not as simple as the 23rd Division imagined, and after the reordering of the troops, the 64th Wing, which served as the vanguard of the division, was attacked one after another, and the search team that served as the two wings of the 64th Wing was even more casualties, and it seemed that the enemy's snipers were more interested in the search team. After several consecutive ambushes, sniper veterans with rich battlefield experience have already seen that something is wrong with this Kwantung Army division, and it seems that the combat effectiveness of this Kwantung Army division with the personnel of a division is not very strong, and many times the Kwantung Army soldiers who are suddenly ambushed will only look around stupidly, and they don't know how to react immediately.
"That's easy to do, contact Mr. immediately, just say that this group of Kwantung soldiers is stupid and cowardly, and ask for reinforcements immediately, and Lao Tzu wants to give this Kwantung Army troops a Ling Chi." The overjoyed motor immediately contacted Zhao Zhizeng to send reinforcements to help. The so-called Ling Chi is a term in mercenaries, that is, 24 hours of uninterrupted target attacks, like Ling Chi cut the target one by one, knowing that the target has been rotten in the stomach, and the last knife will kill him.
