Chapter 114: Head on Blow
"It's coming, it's coming," the scouts under Yan Jiuzhang shouted and slipped down from the trees, and the Japanese army's khaki uniforms were already faintly visible in the distance. Yanlong's sweeping team adhered to the characteristics of the mercenary troops and left after the fight, but the 56th Division, which suffered a big loss, would let go of Yan Jiuzhang and his gang so easily, and the Liuchuan Wing bit Yan Jiuzhang and they chased all the way, and the more than 2,000 Japanese troops in Wuyang opened the formation and looked menacing.
"Okay, let's give them some power when they come" Yan Jiuzhang, who was biting the straw pole in his mouth, lazily held the binoculars and looked ahead, in the open space behind him, more than a dozen Japanese-style mortars had already been prepared, and the sweepers who temporarily acted as gunners were holding shells and waiting for orders. "I'll fight again when I'm sure I'm right, I must tear these Japanese soldiers apart from the middle, don't be afraid of Lang Fei cannonballs" Yan Jiuzhang's arm waved down violently, and the artillery group that had been waiting for a long time "passed" "passed" "passed" and "passed" A white smoke rose up.
According to the requirements of the ninth chapter of the rock, the shells fired by the sweeping team were all intensive, and almost a dozen shells in each wave were smashed at one point, even if the Japanese soldiers were lying on the ground to avoid the bombardment, there were still those who were unlucky and were wounded or torn to pieces by shrapnel. "You losers, I really don't know how distressed I am" It was easy to capture mortars and shells, and half of the shells were consumed after only one hit, and looking at the less than half of the shells, Yan Jiuzhang's face twitched.
Like Yan Jiuzhang's slippery loach, Yanagawa Takeshi couldn't catch Yan Jiuzhang's movement trajectory at all, so he could only chase after him, but let Yan Jiuzhang's team members have the opportunity to practice mortar operation. The explosion of the shell landing sounded from time to time, and Yan Jiuzhang and his gang were always separated from the Yanagawa Wing by a distance of several hundred meters, coupled with the terrain, the long-range firepower of the Yanagawa Wing was all in the air. According to Yan Long's instructions on the walkie-talkie, Yan Jiuzhang took the Liuchuan United to go around in a big circle before slowly turning back to the original retreat route, running and blocking for 3 hours in a row, even a person like Yan Jiuzhang who grew up in the mountains was tired and out of breath.
"Look at the markers under your feet, be careful to step on the mines" Yan Long left the team members to wait for 3 hours, and finally waited for the stumbling Yan Jiuzhang and his gang, and hurriedly jumped out from the hiding place to show them the way. This grassy slope with a length of 200 meters and a width of 200 meters has been planted by Yan Long and his people, and they have been waiting for Yan Jiuzhang to attract Japanese troops here. "Go, go, hurry" Under the urging of the continuous voice, Yan Jiuzhang and they quickly passed through the minefield according to the guidance of the person who answered.
"Where's the captain? Why are you guys? Where are the others? After passing the minefield, Yan Jiuzhang found that there were only a few hidden sweepers of the second squadron, not only the captain Yan Long was not there, but even the squadron leader Sun Meng of the second squadron was nowhere to be seen. The anxious Yan Jiuzhang casually grabbed a member of the second squadron and shouted, Yanlong is his only relative, if something happens to Yanlong, he Yan Jiuzhang will become the only seedling of the Yan family.
"Captain Yan, don't worry, the captain and our squadron leader are very good" The team member who was grabbed by Yan Jiuzhang smiled and broke Yan Jiuzhang's hand, and stretched out his hand to point to the two wings of the minefield, "The captain is ambushed on the left flank, our squadron leader is on the right flank, the captain said that your first squadron will rest for a while, after the minefield is detonated, your first squadron will launch a frontal attack, and the two of them will assist you from the flank"
"That's okay, then we'll rest first" Yan Jiuzhang slowly withdrew his arm embarrassedly, and then took out the cigarettes captured from the Japanese army and threw them to the members of the second squadron. Behind the slope with a small angle, there were many sweepers under Yan Jiuzhang, and everyone picked the most comfortable position to defend themselves, so that they could recover their strength as soon as possible. Yan Jiuzhang didn't know why Yan Long set up a minefield here to ambush the Japanese army, but he had long been accustomed to obeying Yan Long's command, so he didn't react when he received the order, just recovering his strength and waiting for the arrival of the Japanese army like his team members.
There was only a distance of about 1 mile between the pursuer and the bait, and as soon as Yan Jiuzhang lay down and didn't take a few breaths, the Yanagawa Wing appeared on the outer edge of the minefield with a vicious breath. The terrain of almost a horse and Pingchuan made Yanagawa Takeshi not worry that there would be an ambush here, but the actual situation was that he lost the pursuit target, and the hundreds of Zhina troops who had been taking them around the mountains and forests were gone, looking at the green grass in front of him, Yanagawa Takeshi was a little stupid.
"Captain, I found it, they are there" He was obviously not the only one who was equally confused with Liu Chunwu, and an officer who was looking around with a telescope suddenly pointed to a depression in front of him and shouted. Dozens of people wearing variegated military uniforms and carrying weapons on their backs were running out of the depression covered in mud, and before they had time to think about why the number of bait was so small, the anxious Yanagawa Takeshi waved his hand, and the entire Yanagawa Wing rushed down the meadow and pounced on the dozens of guys who were flowing in the depression.
Like Takeshi Yanagawa , Iwaku Zhang, who had recovered his strength a little, also thought of the guys who were walking in the depression, and it was right to see that they were dressed as members of the cleaning team, but their skills were not as good as the thundering militia. "Those are all fakes, not our people, it is the captain who arranged for dozens of Burmese guerrillas to pretend to be the ones you use to attract the Japanese army into the minefield" The solution of the second squadron sweeper made Yan Jiuzhang understand who those dozens of guys with skills comparable to the militia were.
"The mortar is ready, after the mine is detonated, three rounds of rapid fire hit their rear, and the others followed me after the second cannon was discharged, and they were caught off guard" Yan Jiuzhang looked at the Japanese soldiers who were entering the minefield, slowly loaded the submachine gun, curled up with his left leg and kicked the ground with his right leg tense, ready to attack at any time. "Pap" "Pap" "Pap" "Pap" Yan Jiuzhang's snipers began to shoot at the Japanese troops who were about to break out of the minefield, if they could not contain the impact of the Japanese army, the minefield carefully arranged by Yan Long would not have the desired effect.
As soon as the snipers on the side of "Boom" "Boom" and "Boom" Yan Jiuzhang opened fire, the sweepers arranged on both wings pressed the handle of the detonator, and streams of flames mixed with fragments rose from the ground and scattered in all directions. A sea of smoke several meters high rolled into the air, and the entire minefield was shrouded in smoke and flames in just a few seconds, and the gunners who wanted to lock the coordinates could not see the situation in the minefield at all, and they could only adjust the gun mount based on the position in their own memory.
"My dear, how much explosives are there?" The unexpected explosion scene brought Yan Jiuzhang's expected rapid attack to a halt, and the charging command, who couldn't even see the enemy's appearance clearly, increased the unnecessary casualties, so Yan Jiuzhang would not do such a stupid thing. "Open the artillery, then the rest of the shells will be smashed out" As soon as the smoke cleared a little, Yan Jiuzhang shouted that the mortar should fire immediately, it doesn't matter how many Japanese soldiers can be killed, as long as his squadron can play a covering role when he launches a charge.
"Up, up, let's go" Yan Jiuzhang grabbed his submachine gun and rushed forward first, followed by the other sweepers, including the members of the second squadron who were responsible for picking them up. At the forefront was the submachine gunner, and everyone bit a spare magazine in their mouths like Yan Jiuzhang, which not only facilitated the submachine gunners to quickly change the magazine in time, but also played a role in preventing the purpose of exposing themselves to the Japanese army because of shouting during the charge.
Before the people arrived, the bullets that burst out of the chamber of the gun had already shot into the smoke of the minefield, and the submachine gun in Yan Jiuzhang's hand kept spitting bullets, and he plunged into the Japanese formation with his men who pulled away the stragglers. In the face of more than 2,000 Japanese troops, Yan Jiuzhang's 600 people had to face several times the enemy army with him, but fortunately, with two bombardments from minefields and mortars, the Yanagawa Wing at this time was very similar to the national army rout that Yan Jiuzhang had seen in his hometown, and one by one they had no fighting spirit.
"Killing" Yan Long and Sun Meng, who were ambushed on both wings, saw that Yan Jiuzhang's squadron had been mixed up with the Japanese army, and immediately rushed out with the troops under their respective commands. 1,200 against more than 2,000 Japanese troops, almost a two-to-two ratio of numbers, filled this open field. "Let's die" Yan Jiuzhang, who replaced it with a spare magazine, fanned the Japanese army in front of him, but there were too many people crowded here, and Yan Jiuzhang had just cleared a few Japanese soldiers in front of him, and the vacated place was flooded by the crowd again.
"The whole team, the whole team, don't fight with the Japanese soldiers, keep a distance and greet them with bullets" Iwalong and several officers shouted at the surrounding sweepers while shooting at the Japanese soldiers. The weapons in the hands of the sweepers were far more effective than the Japanese army's 38 rifles, and they were obviously inferior to the Japanese army, and they could not exert the firepower of automatic weapons at all.
With the reminder of Yanlong and others, the sweepers in the melee gradually distanced themselves from the Japanese soldiers who survived the explosion, and then used the intensive strafing of submachine guns to compress the space of the Japanese army little by little. "Grenade" A member of the sweeper was surrounded by a Japanese soldier with a fierce face and a vicious face, and the Japanese soldier was still holding a grenade emitting white smoke in his hand.
A white light flashed in front of the sweeper's eyes, and Yan Long swung his knife and cut off the arm of the Japanese soldier holding the grenade, and the "boom" was exploded by the grenade that Yan Long slapped out with the blade of the knife, but fortunately, the distance was far enough, and Yan Long and the sweeper under him were unscathed. "Retreat, retreat, the enemy's reinforcements are coming" The scouts in charge of the vigilance blew the whistle in their mouths, and the follow-up troops of the 56th Division had already appeared in their binoculars, if they could not jump out of the battlefield in time, the more than 1,000 people of the sweeping team might fall into the siege of the Japanese army.
