Chapter 9: Behind Enemy Lines (34)

The Japanese army is indeed not a good material for feints, as soon as they charged, they laughed at the forward company of the Pengwu battalion, and they had never seen this kind of Japanese soldier, who shot from a distance of the sky, and performed some tactical actions by themselves, lying down, shooting, moving left and right, pulling back and forth, and no matter whether there were bullets in front of them, the soldiers of the forward company laughed forward and backwards. It wasn't until the Japanese troops who feinted to attack found that they had become a joke and fired a grenadier shell in annoyance, and the casualties caused by the accurate blow made the soldiers of the forward company shut up.

"Leave one platoon in the front, two platoons and three platoons, one left and one right, the flank is the focus of the enemy's attack, and we must hold out until the battalion commander arrives." The company commander shouted.

The two platoon commanders left in response.

The puppet army of the two companies came as promised, one on the left and one on the right, and these soldiers of the appeasement army were all veterans of the battlefield, and the attack was organized decently, with a cat waist, taking advantage of all the available terrain to get as close as possible to the position of the Pengwu battalion.

This attack was not easy, although the left and right sides were also flat, but there was a big difference between having a trench and not having a trench, the most obvious thing was that only a small half of the head was exposed to the outside with a trench, and the whole body without a trench was exposed to the line of sight of the strike. In the absence of heavy weapons, it is unwise to attack with flesh and blood. The captain of the Japanese pig-headed squad was a very thoughtful soldier, and he understood very well the difficulty of attacking in this situation, so he decided to still exist as a feint on the right side, and organized all the crooked handles and grenadiers to be placed on the left side, and after the attacking team entered 300 meters, the grenadiers began to fire, and the sound of machine guns also sounded. The Japanese army is very talented, they work in groups of three, a piece of wood crosses the feet of the crooked handle, fixes the wooden prison, and then the two of them lift the machine gun and run forward, and a main shooter behind controls the shooting of the crooked machine gun, six * thirty rounds of ammunition are loaded in the funnel, and three rounds of point fire can also be used to make a grand shot, and after the bullets are finished, the funnel cover is lifted, and the six * are pressed back in, and they can continue to shoot.

Hearing the sound of gunfire, the commander of the forward company had already understood that the enemy's front and right sides were feints, and the focus of the attack was on the left, so he gathered the machine guns on the front and right and moved them to the left.

"There are not many enemies, we have to fight with a success rate, as long as the first row of guns can take out ten enemies, the puppet army will retreat. The second row of guns focused on the Japanese, with crooked handles and hand cannons as the focus. The company commander shouted: "The machine gun should only sweep into crowded places." ”

Two hundred meters, the grenadier had a relatively accurate landing point, and the crooked bullets flew over the roof of the trench, making a whistling sound that tore through the air, and some bullets burrowed into the dirt in front of the trench, blowing up wisps of dust. The soldiers of the forward company buried their heads in the trenches, and when they looked up at this time, it was not a battle, but a search for death. Only one observer watched the situation from a small observation hole in a wooden bunker.

"One hundred meters." The observer shouted.

"Fifty meters." The footsteps of the puppet army can already be felt.

"Thirty meters." The observer shouted, "Drop the bomb." ”

As more than 30 guns* exploded in the position thirty meters ago, the dust raised by the explosion was like a wall of smoke, and at the moment when the wall of smoke rose, all the soldiers stretched out half their heads from the trench, and the muzzle of the rifle in the black hole sent out the first bullet. The fighters, who had fired the first bullet, quickly withdrew their heads from outside the trenches, and in their hands, with the second* in their hands, listened to the voices of the observers.

"Twenty meters." The observer shouted again: "Bomb dropping"

Another burst of *, this time the explosion was closer, the Japanese puppet army had obvious casualties, just at the moment when the Japanese puppet army paused in the explosion machine guns, the second row of gunfire rang out again, twenty meters, face-to-face shooting, this time the shooting effect was obviously better than the last time, several crooked handles fell to the ground, because the Japanese soldiers in front of them with wooden machine guns became targets, some were shot once, and some were actually shot five times.

The Japanese machine guns were dumbfounded, and the machine guns of the forward company found a chance to speak, and the Czech-style frame bunkers swept over like a splash of bullets.

The attacking Japanese puppet army was shot to all those who were standing, and those who were not shot were lying on the ground, however, the third* flew over.

In the smoke and dust of *, the attacking Japanese puppet army withdrew, running fast.

"Do we have casualties?" The company commander asked.

"Yes." The platoon commander replied: "Three dead and seven wounded, all of which were the scourge of the Japanese grenadiers." ”

"Fuck!" The company commander blurted out a national scolding. He also didn't want to think about it, there were 278 corpses of puppet soldiers on the position, and there were 78 Japanese soldiers, three of them were thrown with crooked handles, and two were thrown with grenadiers.

"It's very strong!" The captain of the Japanese pig-headed squad said.

"Report to the barracks, enemy reinforcements have come up." An appeasement soldier ran up to the pseudo-battalion commander and said.

The leader of the pig-headed squad raised the telescope in his hand and looked at the mountain pass to the west, and sure enough, an army had already left the mountain pass and had entered the Yellow Crane Pond position.

"I'm afraid there are as many as two companies, plus the previous one, this is a complete battalion. The number of people is the same, the weapons are equal, one attack and one defense, we are afraid that the odds of victory are not great. Said the pseudo-battalion commander.

"Hehehehehe! Do not worry. The captain of the pig-headed squad said: "I'm not afraid that there are many of them, but I'm afraid that there are few of them." ”

In the stunned gaze of the pseudo battalion commander, the pig-headed squad leader asked the correspondent to contact Anqing, and the pseudo battalion commander understood that this guy was actually calling the plane. The pseudo-battalion commander secretly scolded: Little Japan on dog days, there is no need for planes, I want Lao Tzu to charge, fuck your grandma!

Peng Wu came to the position, and was very satisfied with the left defense of the forward company, and asked the dead and wounded brothers to be transported to Qipan Town, and the old folks immediately took the wounded and set up a mourning hall for the dead.

The next situation made Peng Wu incomprehensible, the Japanese puppet army stopped attacking, did not retreat, hung far away on three sides, the Japanese army lay on the ground, the 38 rifle in his hand shot at a moment, the 38 cover hit 800 meters, the Japanese soldiers were well-trained, and the 800-meter shot would be accurate, although it could not kill people, it really had to get into the flesh, and it didn't hurt! The soldiers on the position of the Peng Wu battalion did not dare to be too careless, and their actions were all cat-waisted, and they could not expose their bodies to the trenches as much as possible.

"The Japanese army lost for a while, and they no longer attacked, but just hung from afar, I don't know what it means?" Peng Wu asked Wei Gaozhen for instructions. Wei Gaozhen was also puzzled, and immediately forwarded the telegram to Gongling's Mo Di.

"The Japanese army is waiting for reinforcements." Mo Di saw the trick at a glance, and after answering Wei Gaozhen's question, he also made a plan for the next step, since the Japanese puppet army wants to add fuel and fight a big battle on the chessboard, then cooperate well and make them satisfied. Order the southern part of Fenglin's Wang Hua and Zhong Liangbu to leave immediately, enter the position of Luo Wei's thin monkey ambush yesterday in the south of Mamiao Town, as long as the Japanese puppet army comes to reinforce the chessboard, let them have no return.

No one thought that the enemy's reinforcements would come so quickly, and in less than half an hour, five Mitsubishi Type 96 land attack planes appeared over the chessboard, dumbfounded Peng Wu, how could a small blocking battle provoke this thing, it was too exaggerated!

The Type 96 land attack aircraft has a total width of 25.00, a total length of 16.45, a dead weight of 4,965kg, and a maximum speed of 373.2km/h. Not only is it loaded with 60kg*12 pieces, but it also has a 7.7mm gyratory cannon above the center of the fuselage and a 20mm gyratory cannon above the rear of the fuselage. There were not many planes at Anqing Airport, and after the occupation of Wuhan, most of them moved to Wuhan Airport to carry out the bombing mission on the Chongqing side. Since the beginning of the summer of 1939, with the graduation of the first batch of students of the Hengyang Traveling Cadre Class, and with Chiang Kai-shek's attention to the guerrilla struggle behind enemy lines, advance teams have been formed in various localities. While urging Wang Jingwei to seize the time to quickly establish a puppet regime in Nanjing, the base camp of the Japanese army also transferred some personnel back to the occupied areas to strengthen control over the occupied areas, and Major General Guan Yuan of the Third Flying Regiment of the Air Force, who stayed in Anqing, finally ceased to be an air force with nothing, but had a number of usable aircraft, some of which had become the main members of the 93 land attack wings and the old 88 wings, and the real main force was five 96 land attack planes, also called Mitsubishi G3M medium crit planes.

What appeared on the chessboard were these five ninety-six land attacks.

In the midst of the scolding, the soldiers of the Pengwu battalion began to look for cover, the ready-made trenches were covered in several places, and the fathers and elders of Qipan Town had barred their own big trees and erected them on the trenches, and they were also filled with bags of mud.

Some diligent soldiers also dug some earth-digging holes in the trenches, which became air-raid shelters. Seeing the brothers burrowing into the hole one by one without any image, Peng Wu couldn't help but scold: This dog's plane is really like a harrier, in front of him, Lao Tzu has become a rat with a hole!

When the plane arrived, the bombs were accurately dropped, * fell in the trenches, on the roof of the anti-artillery holes, the Pengwu battalion suffered casualties, and the brethren crowded in the anti-artillery holes, the outermost circle became the role of shrapnel. The Japanese puppet army was waiting for this opportunity, and with the landing of the aerial bomb, the Japanese puppet army on three sides began to attack, shouting all kinds of sounds, like wolves, like wild beasts.

The brethren of the Pengwu battalion moved away from the bodies of the brethren whose outer layers had been blown over by aerial bombs, rushed into the trenches, and waited for the battle.

Peng Wu didn't expect that after two years of fighting, the Japanese planes were also refined, unlike the Songhu War, which left after throwing bullets, but came back to the carbine. The general attack of the Japanese puppet soldiers had not yet arrived, and the planes drew a circle not far away, and rushed over again, their shells had all been dropped last time, and this time, using two machine guns in front of and behind the plane, the huge lethality knocked out a puff of gunpowder smoke from the trenches. Seeing such momentum, the defenders had the idea of retreating for the first time.

Peng Wu shouted: "The plane is the last move, resist this move, the blood shed by the brothers, let the Japanese puppet army on the ground repay!" ”

Sure enough, after a burst of bullets, the five planes flapped their wings and flew away.

Put the dead aside, organize the wounded to suppress the bullets, and put all the brothers who can fight on the front line, Peng Wu is going to fight, tell the three company commanders, prepare to charge after fighting one*, and see if this group of puppet troops will fight hand-to-hand.

Just as the two sides were getting closer and closer, Modi's telegram arrived: "Don't fight hard, drag the Japanese puppet army, reinforcements have arrived at the Wang family's old house." The next step is to surround this enemy without destroying it, draw out the reinforcements from Gaohebu, and then divide and annihilate it. ”

Peng Wu unexpectedly "ha", understood Mo Di's plan, immediately changed his mind, and shouted to the troops: "Defend tightly, reinforcements are coming, attack inside and outside, clean up this group of enemies." ”

There are even reinforcements! The brothers of the Peng Wu camp were happy, as if they had taken a shot in the arm, the Japanese puppet army in front of them suddenly became a local chicken and a dog, the gun in his hand became very light, and his eyes could see more clearly than usual.
