Chapter 848: Jin Yu Fengyun (II)
Takasaki was stunned for a moment, and when he took the telegram, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"It is feasible to block the attack, but the strength of the reconnaissance company should be used to attack the weakness of the Japanese army. Harassment, sneak attacks, snipers, mines, etc., must not be a head-to-head confrontation with the Japanese army. If you have any questions, you can call the division. Shang Yingyan, commander of the 5th Division of the 2nd Army of the 2nd Army of the Wehrmacht. ”
After reading the telegram, Takasaki could only smile bitterly, and he and Sheng Yong had walked into a dead end in their way of thinking. He only thought about stopping the Japanese army from advancing, but he did not think specifically of using harassment warfare.
"Order the knife platoon in front to lay mines in the path that the Japanese army must pass. Wait for them to detonate when they pass by, and then use a sniper rifle to shoot me at the Japanese soldiers! Remember, don't leave after a fight! ”
Sheng Yong sneered: "If you want to talk about this harassment, we are the ancestors of Little Japan!" If it weren't for the fear of startling the snake, Lao Tzu would have done it a long time ago......"
Unbeknownst to him, there were a bunch of death traps waiting for him on the road ahead. He was now excited about his imminent arrival in Anqing.
Especially after knowing that the Central China Front had occupied Anqing, he was completely relieved. I just wanted to hurry up and rush to Anqing.
The reconnaissance company of the 5th Division was a reinforced company with four platoons as the main support. The first to run ahead of the Japanese army was a platoon of sharp knives, who were lying in ambush several miles away from the Japanese army exploring the path, silently waiting for orders.
Whether the order was to keep them tracking, or to go straight to the barrage, no one in the platoon would hesitate. The men of the reconnaissance company believed that they were the most elite fighters of the Fifth Division.
The first platoon believes that he is the most elite fighter in the reconnaissance company. The most elite warriors are entitled to pride. These men with sharp knives in a row have always been the proudest.
Lu Hong, the platoon commander of the sharp knife, was silent in the grass and carefully watched the movements of those Japanese soldiers, not letting go of even the slightest detail. At this time, Deputy Platoon Commander He Jia slowly leaned over and crawled over.
handed a piece of paper to Lu Hong. Lu Hong was stunned. But then he took the paper and looked at it by the moonlight. This was the order of the company commander Sheng Yonglai, to plant mines and prepare to snipe these Japanese soldiers.
Lu Hong, who got the order, smiled silently, nodded to the deputy platoon commander He Jia, and the two slowly withdrew from the observation point. Back behind the meadow, He Jia took out a map without Lu Hong's eyes.
The terrain around here was clearly marked on it, and Lu Hong pondered for a while and nodded a few points. And He Jia frowned and drew a little, pointing to one of them.
After a few gestures, both of them pointed their fingers at one place. Then he saw He Jia waving his hand at a row of soldiers with sharp knives crawling in the meadow.
Then I saw a few men come out of the meadow, follow He Jia, who was gradually moving away, and then disappear into the night for a while. Lu Hong smiled slightly and made a gesture to a few soldiers.
Then I saw the addition of two groups of men with rifles with sniper scopes. The rest of the population evacuated the observation point.
The Japanese army on the march did not know that death was approaching step by step. Although they had been carefully scouting their way some time ago, there had been no attacks, which made them less vigilant.
Now it is only dozens of kilometers away from Anqing, and everyone wants to arrive in Anqing as soon as possible in order to ensure their own safety.
Unbeknownst to them, several figures with mountain puppets jumped a few times in the bright moonlight and pounced on a path. I didn't see how they moved. Then several large craters appeared in the ground.
Piles of things were unloaded from them and buried in thin holes. Then a shovel of dirt was put back, and a line was pulled into the meadow on the side.
There were also two ghostly figures left traces of constant sweeping, and when the Japanese army approached almost a mile, the two men finished their movements, jumped a few times and disappeared into the meadow.
After the two men disappeared, the Japanese finally appeared on the path. In all fairness, the co-captain of this unit was already careful enough. Although he and his subordinates were in a hurry to go to Anqing. But he did as requested.
However, I saw that several Japanese soldiers were constantly playing with the meadow with guns, and the soldiers behind were vigilantly watching the movements around them. Faintly, several Japanese troops who were manveraging the meadow formed an attack formation, and as long as there was an abnormality at any point, these people would immediately form an offensive formation and attack directly.
After fiddling with the meadow for a while, seeing that there was no response, the Japanese soldiers continued to walk along the path.
Sure enough, you are very careful! Lu Hong, the platoon leader of the sharp knife, smiled silently. It's a pity that you're meeting Lao Tzu. Lao Tzu has known this trick for a long time, so I will guard against you!
After the Japanese reconnaissance team left, they saw that the small road finally ushered in a large number of Japanese troops. These Japanese soldiers continued to march forward in the moonlight.
Lu Hong also had to sigh that these Japanese soldiers were indeed worthy of the word elite. Although these elites are made up of a group of brutes. But it cannot be denied that they are strong in combat.
Seeing the Japanese army slowly walking into the minefield, Lu Hong's eyes narrowed. And when the middle units of the Japanese army entered the minefield. No one noticed the slight twitching underneath the meadow.
"Boom! Rumble!! Boom ...... "This is a chain of mines, more than five mines exploded in the crowd of Japanese soldiers!" Suddenly, the whole team turned on their backs, and the screams rang out.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Counterattack!! "The squadron leader in the team gave the order at the first time, but this order brought him death.
"Bang!" , but seeing that the squadron leader didn't even scream, his head exploded like a watermelon that had been slammed with a killing stick!
The brain spew all over the ground, and only half of the head was left, and the corpse fell to the ground with a pop, and its legs twitched.
"The squadron leader is dead! The squadron leader is dead! There was a terrible howl from the Japanese soldiers, followed by the roar of heavy machine guns.
The Japanese began to fire with light and heavy machine guns at any nearby location they thought might be hiding, trying to force out the attackers. Unfortunately, their actions don't seem to have any effect at all.
After sweeping for a long time, there was no response. It was the Japanese army who could only stop strafing and send people to investigate in the meadows. But there is nothing there.
The unwilling commander of the Japanese wing ordered his subordinates to search everywhere, and at the same time informed Otaka Kamizo of the attack.
Soon, he got orders from Ogaka Kamezo. Otaka Kamezo's troops were also attacked, and the casualties were even worse than the casualties of this wing.
But this is undoubtedly also to tell Odaka Kamizo: they have been discovered. Therefore, Ozaka Kamizo directly gave an order to the front pathfinder wing: no matter what attack it encounters, just rush over.
This order was a bit unreasonable, but when he thought about it, the wing captain understood what it meant. The whereabouts of the Twelfth Army have been revealed, and it is likely that the Wehrmacht troops are now attacking them.
If they don't fight themselves head-on, then it means that they don't catch up with enough people to eat the entire Twelfth Army. But once their whereabouts are discovered, it becomes easy to intercept.
If you fight with each other, then the Wehrmacht who catch up will undoubtedly put yourself in a bitter battle. Now all the 12th Army has to do is to rush to Anqing as soon as possible.
Preferably before dawn, it is now dark that the planes of the Wehrmacht are not good to sortie. But once the Wehrmacht fighters were dispatched at dawn, it would be disastrous for the Twelfth Army.
"Order everyone, don't stop and go straight ahead!" The wing commander commanded with a calm face: "This is a trick of the Chinese people! They want to delay our march so that they can surround us! Tell the soldiers that as long as they arrive in Anqing, they can't do anything about us! ”
"Hay!" The adjutant replied loudly, then hesitated for a moment and said to the wing commander: "Those wounded soldiers ......"
The co-captain's face changed suddenly, and he looked directly at the adjutant without speaking. The adjutant was furious, and he couldn't say a word.
"I see......" The lieutenant bowed to the Wing Captain and turned to walk down.
Then, the sound of "......bang-bang-bang" gunshots could be heard from the rear. After the gunshot, the faces of the Japanese soldiers in the wing showed a hint of nervousness at first, and then relief.
After that, the Japanese army continued to think about marching ahead. Scouting teams began to increase, expanding the scope of the search. The Japanese troops, on the other hand, only slowly advanced after the search. This led to a decrease in the speed of the Japanese army's march.
As the search range of the Japanese army expanded, Lu Hong, the platoon commander of the first platoon of sharp knives, could only grit his teeth and let the soldiers under his command withdraw. It was only a sniper attack on the Japanese from a distance, and no more mine-laying was carried out.
The harassment tactics of the reconnaissance company were successful, but not entirely successful.
They did kill and wound the Japanese soldiers and caused the Japanese to slow down their march. However, the Japanese army also sensed the exposure of their whereabouts, and the various units were no longer marching intermittently, but directly converging together.
At the same time, Odaka Kamezo also called Ankei in the hope that they would send a team to meet him.
While lamenting that Odaka Kamezo was frightened by the Wehrmacht, Matsui Ishine could only order Anqing's troops to split up a wing to meet Otaka Kamizo.
"Bang! Bang! Two gunshots rang out, but two Japanese soldiers were knocked to the ground. However, the Japanese soldiers who kept searching did not care about the life and death of these two people, and they kept shooting back with their judgment of ballistics.
Behind them, a group of Japanese soldiers walked by silently, and the two Japanese soldiers who were lying on the ground picked up their guns with difficulty and pressed them against their heads, "Bang!" A shot was fired.
"Damn...... These dead people are really not easy to handle......" Lu Hong, the platoon commander of the first row of sharp knives, gritted his teeth and said secretly in his heart, I'm afraid I won't be able to stop these miscellaneous pieces if I continue to do this!
