Chapter 41: Ambush

The battle was about to start, and Zheng Weiguo said helplessly: "Pay attention to safety, don't do stupid things!" After saying that, he quickly ran to the forward position.

Zhilan didn't know what was going on, so she covered her mouth and cried. She had just helped dig trenches, and she had a little mud on her hands, but now she wiped it all on her face, and she became a little flower cat again. However, at this time, everyone was in no mood to make fun of her, and they all looked nervously at the official road in front of them.

The devil's cavalry suffered several losses in a row, but this time they didn't become a top soldier, and they responded in the middle instead. So now at the head of the line is a group of infantry. They seemed very careful, and the dozen or so people spread out, bending over one by one, looking around like thieves (they were thieves), their fingers on the trigger, and shooting at the slightest hint of trouble, regardless of whether there was an ambush or not.

Zhang Haiyan saw the devil's virtue, his mood was much more relaxed, and he laughed in a low voice: "The devil is also afraid of us." Look at their bear-like looks! ”

Zheng Weiguo thought that such a devil would be more difficult to fight, but in order to avoid affecting morale, he didn't say it.

The spearhead was followed by a squad of infantry, which also advanced in battle formation. There was also a search detachment on each side of the squad that searched along both sides of the official road.

Feng Kun said in a low voice: "It's not good, according to the devil's search, I'm afraid that our people will be exposed in advance." ”

Zheng Weiguo said calmly: "Don't worry, you notify the brothers, let the brothers close the insurance, no one is allowed to shoot without my order!" He was a little uneasy, and added, "Even if the devil fires first, or if he goes under his nose, he has to wait for my order!" "This is the experience gained from the last time I blocked the devil, and only in this way can we ensure the suddenness of the attack.

The terrain here is perfect for concealment, and as long as the fighters are calm, they can put the devil in the ambush area before firing. The only fear is that the fighters will lose their breath and be the first to open fire to expose the target. Zheng Weiguo looked at the position where the female soldiers were staying with some headaches, and was very worried that they couldn't control their hatred.

The devil also found the terrain here too dangerous, and began to shoot in all directions, and from time to time he fired a few grenades. Thanks to Zheng Weiguo's brutal training on weekdays, otherwise the soldiers would have been unable to bear it a long time ago.

There will always be many accidents on the battlefield, such as this time the women's team obviously defended inconsequentially, but a grenade still smashed over. Shrapnel cut the arm of the captain Chen Wanchun, and blood quickly flowed out.

A female soldier exclaimed: "Captain, you are wounded!" As he spoke, he was going to come and bandage her.

Chen Wanchun snorted and said, "Don't move while lying on your stomach!" This little injury is nothing, be careful to alarm the devil. "Probably because of revenge, the place where Chen Wanchun ambushed is very prominent. Such a position has a good line of sight, which is convenient for shooting, but it is also easy to be spotted by devils.

The female soldier was stunned for a moment, did not crawl forward, but covered her mouth and cried softly.

Chen Wanchun said: "Don't cry! Didn't we say that we were not allowed to cry in the future? ”

The female soldiers all choked up and snorted, but they couldn't hold back their tears.

After the devil tossed around, seeing that there was no reaction, he began to continue to move forward. After all, there is too much delay today, and if it continues like this, I am afraid that it will be dark before I reach Ping'an County.

At present, the two detachments that are most in danger to the security regiment are the two detachments that are searching forward along both sides of the official road, because as long as they keep moving forward, they can definitely see the preset position of the security regiment. The soldiers were panting nervously, but Zheng Weiguo did not give the order to attack. The reason is simple, the more devils enter the ambush circle, the greater the certainty of victory.

This ambush circle consisted of preset positions on both sides of the official road and several nearby hills. Due to the topography, the devil did not send troops to reconnoiter those hills, probably because he was troublesome or thought that the danger was not great. In fact, if you only occupy a few nearby hills, it is indeed difficult to inflict great damage on the devils, after all, the distance is farther. However, the preset position close to the official road is different, and the security regiment can rely on the high points on both sides to form a multi-level strangulation without dead ends.

After another moment, the devil got closer and closer, and its sharp soldiers had already penetrated more than 100 meters into the ambush circle, and there were nearly 300 devils who entered the ambush circle (after the hill controlled by the security group, but not yet the preset position close to the official road).

Zhang Haiyan wiped his sweat and said, "Tuanzuo, let's fight!" ”

Zheng Weiguo shook his head and said, "Don't worry, wait!" ”

As he was talking, a devil suddenly screamed and fell down the hillside next to the official road. This time it was too sudden, and it startled the soldiers and devils of the security regiment. The devils opened fire everywhere without saying a word, and the soldiers also subconsciously pulled the trigger. However, the insurance is closed on the side of the security team, and no personnel are exposed.

The devil quickly realized that it was just an accident and stopped shooting indiscriminately. An officer stepped forward and gave them a shout and ordered them to move on. Since the slopes on both sides of the official road were indeed difficult to walk, the search detachments on both wings did not climb as high as before. At their current height, they would have crawled under the preset position.

Zheng Weiguo sighed and said, "I knew that Lu Dao would be like this, and that thing could be buried a little later!" ”

Zhang Haiyan was also a little annoyed and said: "The main thing is that there are not enough explosives, otherwise it would be enough to set up a few more places." ”

As he spoke, the devil advanced a lot, and Zheng Weiguo finally gave the order to attack. With a quick and sharp trumpet, the impatient warriors quickly opened the safety and launched a fierce attack like an enemy.

During this time, the security regiment practiced marksmanship at the expense of bullets, and finally had an effect. The few spearhead troops in front of the devil were swept away in a few breaths, and the devils who were a little further away soon suffered heavy casualties.

The devil who was lucky enough not to die shouted frantically: "Enemy attack! "And try to find a place to hide. It's a pity that the sides of the official road here are bare, and the security team occupies all the high points on both sides, and there are no dead corners at all. No matter where the devil hides, he can't escape the bullet of revenge.

However, Commander Yamamoto of the devil reacted quickly and had a high level of tactical literacy. As soon as the front army was attacked, he commanded several squads to rush to the hills on both sides, and at the same time ordered artillery and machine guns to attack the positions of the security regiment to cover the tactical maneuvers of the infantry.

Yamamoto's arrangement is excellent, and it can be said that it is a textbook conductor. Don't be surprised, in the era of the Anti-Japanese War, such things often happen. Both the Eighth Route Army and the Kuomintang Army had an ambush against devils and suffered heavy losses. Devils are hateful and hateful, and beasts are beasts, but we have to admit that their officers' tactical command ability is very strong, and the soldiers' execution ability and combat awareness are far superior to those of Chinese soldiers. After all, on one side are professional killing machines, and on the other side are mostly farmers who have just put down their hoes.

You may say that you can't send troops to grab a mountain, what's so strange? This brings us to the characteristics of mountain warfare. In mountain warfare, the attribution of the high point is particularly important. It can be said that whoever controls the high point will win half of it, so if you look at the history of the war, you will find that when the Eighth Route Army ambushed the Japanese army, it often fought repeatedly for several hills. It is more typical like the battle of Changle Village, the 689th Regiment under the leadership of the 129th Division fought with the Japanese invaders for the Daijianao Heights under the leadership of Han Xianc.

Getting back to the point, the devils began to attack the high points on both sides of the official road under the cover of artillery and machine guns. Don't look at the devils are all small turnips (well, I accidentally insulted the turnips), but the people are short and have a low center of gravity, and they don't suffer at all when they climb up the slopes (you can refer to those mountain tanks with strong climbing ability). Their marksmanship was good, and two steps up the wall was one shot, and after one shot, they quickly took two steps up the gun, and soon approached a small hill in the outermost part.

Zhang Haiyan observed for a moment and said, "The troops there are too weak, why don't you let the third company send a platoon over!" "The Third Company and the Central Guerrilla Brigade are now used as reserves.

Zheng Weiguo groaned for a moment and said, "No, you have to let the devil move forward." ”

Zhang Haiyan was a little surprised and said, "Then do you want to notify that unit to withdraw?" ”

Zheng Weiguo said with a gloomy face: "I'm afraid that I won't be able to withdraw now!" Once you retreat, you will expose your back to the devil, and the casualties will be greater. ”

If you don't let you withdraw or give support, you will have to sacrifice this force. Zhang Haiyan's face changed, but he didn't say anything. Because this is the cruel and cold-blooded side of war, everyone on the battlefield is a bargaining chip that can be sacrificed.

Just as Zheng Weiguo was about to abandon this unit, the women's team suddenly began to assault forward. They were originally on a hill behind, and this forward movement was just right to attack the flank of the devil (the general terrain here is two mountains and a valley, and the further west it goes, the narrower it becomes). But in doing so, they have abandoned the safer terrain. As long as the devils divide another army to attack from below, they will be in the predicament of being attacked on both sides.

Zhang Haiyan was taken aback when he saw this, and said, "Tuanzao, it's not good!" I'm afraid that the women's team will suffer, so let them withdraw quickly! ”

Zheng Weiguo said: "No! Don't you realize that if the devils attack them, they give us a chance to fight back? If you're lucky, we'll win this battle! ”

Zhang Haiyan hurriedly said: "But ......" But in this way, the women's team will be hit hard, and even the whole army will be wiped out!

Zheng Weiguo's heart contracted violently, as painful as when he learned that Sanluozi had been sacrificed. He hoped that those miserable girls could live well in this troubled world, but unfortunately he didn't have a choice, and the villagers in the occupied area didn't have a choice. Since the devil has no way to live, there is no other way but to work hard.

The devils soon discovered that it was a group of female soldiers who had been reinforced. One by one, they became furious and howled and launched a counterattack. The devils on the official road have also become highly motivated, like launching rounds of onslaught on both sides of the official road. They probably thought that the "China" army had sent even female soldiers, and victory was not far off.

Zheng Weiguo saw that the devil had launched a full-scale attack, and most of his troops were on the 100-meter-long official road and the slopes on both sides, and knew that the time had come. So he nodded to Zhang Haiyan and said, "It's okay!" ”

Zhang Haiyan hugged a hand-cranked telephone and shook it vigorously. After shaking for a few rounds, there was no response, and he shivered nervously.

Zheng Weiguo was also a little anxious, and was about to speak, when two earth-shattering noises came one after another. Both sides were startled, and most of those who hadn't jumped would have died in the explosion.

It turned out that Zheng Weiguo knew that there was likely to be a fierce battle when he came back from District 8, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly. Although the strength of the current security regiment has skyrocketed, it lacks heavy weapons, and it is difficult to fight against a large number of Japanese troops. He remembered that on the battlefield of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea, the 40th Army used the method of blowing up stones on the side of the highway to deal with the US troops, inflicting great casualties on the enemy. This method is simple and practical, so I copied it.

The volunteers used this method to destroy the tank detachment of the US army many times, and Zheng Weiguo did not have so many explosives, but it was not a problem to deal with the devil's infantry.

The explosives were buried in the rocks on both sides of the official road and detonated by electric cremation. Due to the small amount of explosives, they can only be arranged on both sides of the official road less than 100 meters long, and the core area is only about 50 meters. It is impossible to hit the large army of devils in such a short distance, unless the devils themselves are all squeezed into such a small area, but it is obviously impossible under normal circumstances.

Zheng Weiguo racked his brains for this, and finally decided on a plan to set up an ambush circle to induce the enemy to attack along the slopes of the mountain to the high ground on both sides.

At this time, most of the devil's troops were deployed on this section of the official road and its sides, which happened to be the core area of the explosives impact. These boulders on both sides of the official road leaned against the mountain on one side and the enemy on the other. Once these stones are exploded, the rubble will shoot at the enemy like a directional mine. If both sides explode at the same time, a huge three-dimensional fan will be formed, resulting in a noodle kill without dead ends!

Zheng Weiguo observed the results of the battle for a while, was very satisfied, and immediately gave the order for a general attack, saying: "Blow the trumpet!" All offense! ”

With the sound of the loud military trumpet, the soldiers on all positions jumped up and rushed towards the enemy with a loud shout!
