Chapter 87: Ambush the Japanese army

At about 9 o'clock in the morning, the rain in the sky stopped a little, and the 3rd Infantry Brigade of the 11th Infantry Wing of the Japanese Army, which had set off from Lishui, finally arrived in an area three kilometers south of Dangtu City.

The road leading to Dangtu County became muddy due to heavy rain at this time, more than a thousand devils marched with difficulty, and there was a section running through the middle of a higher hilly highland, and the highlands on both sides were overgrown with all kinds of wild grasses and trees, and Liu Jianhua led his more than 200 veterans to ambush here at this time.

A few hours ago, Liu Jianhua was still skeptical about the total annihilation of more than 1,000 devils, but when Qiao Youhua proposed to equip his company with more than 100 crooked light machine guns and four Type 92 heavy machine guns, Liu Jianhua's confidence increased greatly, and he finally understood where Qiao Youhua got the confidence to go head-to-head with these more than 1,000 little devils.

And completely annihilated them, more than 100 light machine guns, four heavy machine guns, what a powerful firepower, even according to the equipment of the Japanese army, it would take a full formation to have such a large number of light and heavy machine guns.

With so many light and heavy machine guns, almost all of his more than 200 subordinates have been armed, and the powerful firepower built up will be a nightmare that more than a thousand little devils will never forget.

In addition, Qiao Youhua also provided them with more than 40 grenadiers and four 60-millimeter mortars, with which Liu Jianhua and his subordinates could no longer use their rifles, they only needed to manipulate these grenadiers, mortars, and light and heavy machine guns to give full play to their power.

Fortunately, Liu Jianhua's subordinates were the elite of the 67th Division of the Central Army, and after rigorous training and the baptism of the bloody battle in Songhu, they were not only proficient in using all kinds of light and heavy weapons, but also had a very strong will to fight.

Liu Jianhua was lying in the makeshift trench fortifications, holding a telescope to observe the situation on the road, the sky was drizzling, the cold wind was gusting, and he and the more than 200 veterans who had survived the bloody battle were excited at the moment.

Ambushing more than 1,000 devil elites with 200 remnants of soldiers was unthinkable before.

However, like Liu Jianhua, when the guys in their hands were replaced by formal rifles and even Hanyang-made light machine guns, grenadiers, and mortars, all that was left in their hearts was the excitement of expectation, eager to use so many automatic firearms in their hands to give the little devil a hot feast of bullets.

The hatred and humiliating anger they had accumulated over the past few days, the sacrifice of their comrades-in-arms, the death of their commanders, the weeping and wailing of countless compatriots under the iron hooves of the Japanese army, and the dignity and honor of soldiers have tormented their spirits all the time.

They longed for this battle from the bottom of their hearts, eager to kill every Japanese devil they saw with a scorching bullet, and they were ashamed! Settle an old score!

Suddenly, several muddy figures appeared in Liu Jianhua's telescope, and he quickly wiped the telescope lens covered by the rain, and raised it again.

This time, he saw clearly, it was a dozen Japanese soldiers with rifles, and it seemed that they should be the top soldiers of the devils.

"Brethren, cheer up, the little devils are coming, all ready to fight!" Liu Jianhua let out a low shout, and the soldiers who were already waiting for him came to their senses, clenched the machine guns in their hands one by one, and prepared for battle.

Hundreds of light and heavy machine guns in the hidden trenches on both sides of the highway were all in a state of readiness, and the muzzles of the black holes were aimed at the road about 100 meters away.

Behind the light and heavy machine gunners, more than 40 grenadiers and four mortars were also manipulated by the veterans, and the shells were held in their hands, and they could open fire just after their commander Liu Jianhua gave an order.

In order to concentrate firepower, more than 40 grenadiers and four mortars were not dispersed, but all of them were deployed on the right side of the road, that is, on Liu Jianhua's side.

As time passed, more than a dozen of the devil's sharp-edged soldiers swaggered across the highway with guns, and since the landing of Jinshanwei in Hangzhou Bay, this Japanese army has always been in the vanguard, because the Chinese army has been completely defeated, and they are almost invincible everywhere they go.

They had not been blocked by the Chinese army at all, so they were quite arrogant, and the carnival in Lishui and other places also made this Japanese army lose their minds, and all they wanted at the moment was to rush to Dangtu County and capture where to capture.

Then go to the city to rob the property, **** Chinese flower girls, completely forget their duty to find the way and be vigilant.

In fact, this kind of manic psychology has permeated the entire Japanese army in Central China, with the crushing defeat of the Chinese army in the Songhu battlefield, the Japanese army, which occupies the absolute superiority of land, sea and air, with the momentum of great victory, is really like a bamboo, everywhere it goes, the Chinese defeated army flees in despair, and it is only a matter of time to capture the national capital of China at this time.

These veterans under Liu Jianhua's command are all elites who have survived a hundred battles, and they don't need to deliberately instruct, they are very vigilant to hide themselves, and let more than a dozen devil soldiers walk in front of them with high spirits.

In the suffocating waiting, more than 1,000 main forces of the 3rd Brigade of the Japanese Army finally appeared, and Liu Jianhua had already put down his binoculars and personally operated a crooked light machine gun to wait for him.

At the same time, in the wilderness, about three or four kilometers away from Liu Jianhua's ambush site, Qiao Youhua rode his horse and stood in the wind and rain, and more than 400 dragon tooth warriors behind him were all riding on war horses, waiting for his orders.

Jiang Haidong and Qiao Youhua stood side by side, staring ahead and said, "I really sweated for them, that's more than a thousand devil elites." ”

"Bullshit elite, the current Japanese army invading China is all arrogant and invincible, they have been numbed by too many victories, and they would never have thought that at this time, there would be Chinese troops who dared to ambush them, so our ambush was completely unexpected, it was a real surprise attack!

More than 100 light and heavy machine guns, more than 40 grenadier mortars, such powerful firepower, not to mention a group of arrogant soldiers whose vigilance has dropped to the extreme, even if the old devil Noboru Kunisaki comes in person, he can't bear it!

At that time, we will suddenly fight again, and this battle will be won! Qiao Youhua said with a grim face.

Jiang Haidong nodded slightly in agreement, and asked: "All along, you haven't told us how to fight in this defense of Nanjing, how can we turn things around, turn the tide, and rewrite the tragedy of history, I am really curious and confused." ”

"What do you think?" Qiao Youhua looked at one of his strongest subordinates.

"I think that the strength in our hands is still too small, and we don't even have the strength of a regiment, even if we are all engaged in the battle of Nanjing, it will be difficult to play a big role." Jiang Haidong voiced his worries.

Qiao Youhua nodded with satisfaction: "That's right, I don't understand this, if you just blindly trap the lonely city of Nanjing, not to mention the hundreds of us, even if you put in another 100,000 troops, the outcome will be the same."

Because strategically speaking, Nanjing at this time is a strategic dead land, once the Japanese army breaks through the Yangtze River and detours back to Pukou on the north bank of the Yangtze River, the entire Nanjing city will become a turtle in an urn.

Therefore, if we want to rewrite the historical tragedy of the Nanjing Massacre, the only way to win is by surprise, and what we are now taking is an extremely dangerous road of surprise soldiers, that is, to take the initiative to attack and advance to the rear of the Japanese army.

Attack as much as possible to destroy the logistics support of the Japanese army from all walks of life, delay the offensive edge of the Japanese army in the front, and at the same time send a correction telegram, ordering the defenders of Nanjing to stick to the end, swear to defend Nanjing City, and live and die with Nanjing City! The battle was fought to the last soldier, and all the people of Nanjing were evacuated.

As long as the 120,000 garrison troops in Nanjing City are determined to hold out to the end, and we continue to create threats in the rear of the Japanese army, we will certainly be able to win enough time for the evacuation of the people of Nanjing.

It's just that before we do a qiē, we first need a victory, a victory that the entire Nationalist Government and the entire Nanjing garrison army desperately need, in order to boost the morale of the army.

At that time, we will be famous all over the world again, and at the same time, we will also have the qualifications to issue corrections on behalf of Chairman Jiang! ”

Jiang Haidong was stunned by Qiao Youhua's amazing battle plan, and said: "In this way, we can offend Chairman Jiang to death, as long as the correction comes out, the last elite of the hundreds of thousands of Central Army under Nanjing can only fight to the end until the moment when the whole army is killed." ”

Qiao Youhua said coldly: "Even if we don't send electricity, they are not the same as the whole army will be wiped out, I just gave them a different way to die, and I also saved hundreds of thousands of Nanjing compatriots."

I think that if they knew that after laying down their arms and surrendering, they would be slaughtered by 300,000 little devils, and no soldier would take a step back even if he would rather die in battle.

Instead of becoming a captive and being wantonly slaughtered by devils like a mustard, it is better to fight for the country and the nation until the last moment and shed the last drop of blood like a man!

As a soldier, you should have the consciousness and bloodiness that you would rather die in battle than kneel down! ”

"That's right, instead of putting down the gun and becoming a defenseless lamb to the slaughter, it's better to fight to the death and pull a few little devils on their backs! However, we ourselves will face the greatest danger ever, and if we win this battle, we will surely be the target of public criticism.

It is very likely that the devils will mobilize heavy troops to encircle us, and we are in greater danger than Nanjing! Jiang Haidong said.

Qiao Youhua suddenly smiled and said, "It is dangerous to go deep behind enemy lines, but for us, isn't that battle full of danger?" ”

"That's right, I'm a little too emotional." Jiang Haidong recalled the scene when they followed Qiao Youhua to death before the crossing, that time was not full of dangers, and that time was not a desperate situation and returned with a big victory?

"What's more, we now have a dragon tooth iron horse with good combat power in our hands, with the war horse to travel our mobility will be greatly improved, with the current weather and road conditions, it is the most beneficial for us!" Qiao Youhua said.

Jiang Haidong nodded, said no more, looked ahead and said, "The ambush over there should also start." ”
