Chapter 644: The Water of the Min River (Part II)
Akagi was extremely cautious in his marches, and he even maintained a constant pace to ensure that his troops could immediately support each other in the event of an attack.
Yoshitomi Akagi himself commanded the middle of the team, and although he was excited to participate in the battle, he still maintained his basic sanity.
Outside Xiayang Village, the reconnaissance troops at the front were cautiously observing the movements around them - their cavalry troops of more than ten people had already stepped on mines and been shot cold. No one wants to be next.
It has to be said that this kind of guerrilla warfare in the red color has done great damage to the morale and morale of the army. It's easy to go crazy when you're attacked, but you can't find the target to attack, and this kind of war with an invisible opponent.
This tactic has caused great damage even in later generations. Even the United States in Iraq and Afghanistan has been driven almost insane by this pattern of attack.
A flurry of IED and suicide bombings made every patrol a life-or-death test. Even if the two areas were occupied, the U.S. military would have to face huge casualties one after another.
"Bang bang bang ......bang" There was a cold shot, and several of the cavalrymen who were riding on their horses fell over and dismounted with screams, and the infantry behind them screamed and fired back at the place ......where the fire flashed.
But they themselves know that this will not be effective. It is already customary for those who are ambushed there to withdraw directly after the shots are fired. They had already been attacked at least fifteen times along the way, and each time they returned fire and rushed to the attacking position, nothing was found.
These people obviously ran away after a single shot, and they also thought about chasing them directly. It's a pity that every time the opponent runs faster than a rabbit, and the endless mountains of Fujian are their best cover.
The Japanese army could not find any trace of these people, and in the face of such an attack, the Japanese army could only do to expand its reconnaissance area. But the result is that the patrolling soldiers will be attacked in place of the troops!
"Red deer!! Can't these damn China pigs fight head-on with my emperor?! Looking at the cavalry who were carried down and kept screaming, Akagi Yoshinari jumped like thunder. But there was nothing to be done.
This kind of attack, even the US military, which has a large number of spy satellites and secret service personnel in later generations, has no good way, let alone the Japanese army in this era?! Akagi Yoshinari scolded angrily for a while, and could only order: "Let everyone strengthen their vigilance, and at the same time expand the search area with the class as a group!" Heavy machine guns and grenadier units keep their distance and return fire as soon as they spot the attackers!! ”
"Hail!!" The adjutant on the side replied loudly. Then he turned and went down to deliver the order.
The Japanese march was even slower, and the squads scattered in all directions were extremely intimidating! It's like a hedgehog full of thorns, as long as they show the slightest threat, they will roll over with their whole body of thorns!
On a col surrounded by mountains on three sides, Zhao Cheng, the brigade commander of the red command, smiled! He said to the guards beside him: "Inform them and let them bring in the devils!" Remember, don't let the fish eat your bait! Inform the 2nd, 3rd and 4th regiments to prepare for battle! ”
"Yes!!" The guard replied softly, and then the cat ran down to find the herald. At this time, in this mountain col, the mountain trenches on three sides have been dug in concealment. The few light and heavy machine guns were also deployed to the forefront.
The grass on the mountain was their best cover, and the fact that the sky had not yet lit up made the whole mountain look no different at all. At this time, the establishment of Red was one division and two brigades, and each brigade had three regiments under its jurisdiction, totaling about 4,000 people.
Excluding the small forces blocking along the way and the decoy troops, there are at least 3,500 people in ambush here! What we are waiting for is for the Japanese army to fall in, and then launch a surprise attack!
Even if he was ambushed and blocked, Zhao Cheng thought that it would be better to be able to swallow the Japanese army! As for whether the teeth are good enough, that's another story.
"Hey...... This Zhao Cheng is still a little interesting! But Zhang Yan, who saw another mountain, said to the men around him: "Although the red equipment can't withstand the Japanese head-on, if you take it by surprise, you can achieve killing!" How dare this kid do it! ”
As he spoke, Zhang Yan raised the telescope again and muttered, "I don't know why." I always think that this red color is so similar to the commander-in-chief's mode of fighting......"
I have to say that Zhang Yan's observation is extremely accurate! What Tu Qianjun inherited was the essence of the combat habits of this army, and the martial cultivation became holy and read in all directions. No matter how many years have passed, how many generations have changed how many weapons. The combat habits of the entire army will not change much.
Although the strategy and tactics have changed because of the factors of weapons, the essence of combat that has penetrated into the bones will not change in the slightest.
Provoke the enemy, through great depth, interspersed encirclement, encirclement and reinforcement, and the combat method of encirclement and even complete annihilation by means of geographical advantage still infiltrated into the bone marrow of Tu Qianjun.
In particular, the practicability of this combat mode in underdeveloped Africa, South America and other places also made Tu Qianjun infiltrate this combat thinking mode in his bones.
The barrage of sneak attacks and mines on the road had already made the entire Akagi brigade faintly carry a kind of anger, which grew stronger and stronger as they marched.
This is exactly the effect that Zhao Cheng wants, as long as the Japanese army is provoked, they will bite the bait! will come desperately and enter the red ambush encirclement!
"Bang bang ......" There was another burst of cold gunshots, and those enraged Japanese soldiers did not hesitate to kill the place where the gunshots came from!
I thought they would pounce on the air this time, but what I didn't expect was that they accidentally bit their tails!
"Da da da......" The Japanese light machine guns roared. And the infantry scattered towards the gunfire spot! The red on the opposite side seems to be bitten, constantly retreating and shooting back with a "bang, bang, bang......!"
"Your Excellency, Captain! There are two squads that have bitten the tail of the attacking troops, and they are asking for reinforcements! I hope that the brigade can attack and directly annihilate this damn Chinese army! A squadron leader ran out of breath in front of Yoshinari Akagi and said loudly.
Akagi Yoshinari slowly put down the binoculars and said in a deep voice: "You, and Mitsui's squadron will surround you first!" Don't let them run away, I'll take the follow-up team to support you! ”
"Hail!!" The squadron leader replied excitedly. Then he ran down and commanded the troops to attack. Akagi Yoshinari also knows that the entire brigade is holding its breath now, and if it doesn't explode, it will obviously not be possible.
And Akagi Kashi himself is also angry, and he finally bites the tail of this army! If you don't kill them all, how can you be worthy of yourself?! Akagi Yoshinari, who gritted his teeth, rushed over with his troops and the two guns!
The superiority of cavalry in the mountains and forests could not be brought into play at all, and it could only be infantry units. Four infantry squadrons. Akagi Yoshinari felt that he had sent two squadrons to surround and kill them, which was already a great way to save face for these people!
"Boom, boom...... "The sound of explosions and the roar of machine guns continued to sound, and the woods were blown up in dust!...... Detritus from trees, flowers and shrapnel are flying everywhere!
"Retreat! Don't give the devil a bite!! The red company commander who commanded the battle shouted with red eyes, he knew that the task on him was very heavy, and he wanted to lead the Japanese army over but don't lose himself!
This requirement is too high, and this is why Zhao Cheng values them and will issue this task. For this reason, Zhao Cheng also specially allocated four light machine guns for them!
You know, there are only ten light machine guns in the entire brigade! This importance made the company commander also know the hardships of his task.
"Tutu Tu Tu ...... Tong! Tong...... Rumble! Rumble! Boom ......" The heavy machine guns of the Japanese army were mixed with the fire of grenadiers, and the company that was used as a decoy could not lift its head!
"Company commander! Withdraw! Here I'll resist!! A platoon commander was red-eyed and said to the company commander.
"I'll withdraw a **!" The company commander also had red eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "The brigade commander's task is to lure the enemy!" It's not for you to fight to the death with devils! Execute the order!! Withdraw them all! Fast!! ”
The platoon leader had red eyes, and as soon as he gritted his teeth, he withdrew from this position with people!
The explosions of the "boom boom boom ......" grenadiers were continuous, but the Japanese were never able to surround the group of attackers. An attempt to encircle the past squadron turned into a pursuit.
But this also has benefits, at least the Japanese army has been biting the tail of this army! Without letting them break free, the two squadrons originally wanted to surround but in the end they could only continue to pursue.
When the news came back, Akagi Yoshinari was also angry, and ordered to the adjutant beside him: "Let Inoue's squadron go over to support immediately!" Tell them that we'll then make a detour and encircle the enemy army directly! They must not be allowed to run away! ”
"Hail!!" The lieutenant replied aloud, and then went down with the men to give the order.
The Japanese army did not notice that they were walking step by step towards an excellent ambush site surrounded by mountains on three sides! Now that their eyes are red, they plan to completely annihilate these troops who have been attacking them! Not to mention the soldiers below, even Akagi Yoshinari himself is a little red-eyed!
Although several telegrams were sent from the troops of the Red Chamber, they were all put aside by Akagi Yoshinari - if these troops who attacked him were not annihilated, they would undoubtedly be attacked again on the way through.
Rather than this, it is better to completely annihilate this army!
The artillery in the mountains and forests is not easy to travel, so Akagi Yoshinari left a squad as an escort force, continued to advance with the artillery, and then commanded the other troops to chase and kill all the way!
Fighting and running along the way, when he entered the ambush circle, the company commander who was responsible for luring the enemy was about to cry! Under the attack of a Japanese brigade, two of his three platoons were basically annihilated! The last platoon suffered more than half of the casualties.
Three of the light machine guns that were replenished were lost, and the last one was in their own hands. And the Japanese soldiers who captured three light machine guns were even more combative, and after fighting with the red, they knew that the troops that were basically equipped with so many light machine guns must be the main force!
Yes, the chase is even more ferocious!
