Chapter 9: Behind Enemy Lines (48)

The battle curtain was opened in Qian Kun's wishful plan, and the vanguard shouted and rushed to Jiangdong along the pontoon bridge. What Qian Kun and Zhong Zenggen didn't expect was that the vanguard company stepped on the solid soil on the shore until the opposite bank, and did not attract a single bullet, not only did the troops waiting for the second wave of response stop not knowing whether to charge or not to charge next, but the vanguard company that was already standing on the opposite bank was also stunned, and the beachhead sniper half-crossing attack that should have appeared did not appear, and then I didn't know what to do, and the company commander also stood on the river bank stupidly, not knowing how to command, because this situation was something that the commanders had not explained before, He looked back at the other side of the river with expectant eyes, hoping to get the next instructions from the chief.

After Qian Kun shook for a moment, he beckoned, and the second echelon rushed onto the pontoon bridge as planned and rushed over.

At this time, an accident happened, and when the two companies of the second echelon rushed on the pontoon, they found that the end of the pontoon bridge staggered away from the river bank and swung towards the center of the river. The second echelon stopped at the head of the pontoon bridge, which was about ten meters away from the opposite bank, and looked at each other, unable to advance or retreat.

The last thing that should not have appeared appeared, and with a sharp whistle, a cannonball from a large forehand cannon fell on the east bank of the river, and landed in the crowd of the vanguard company that had already landed on the shore, and there was the first one, followed by the second and third ones.

"Immediately search the opponent's grenadier positions and attack with curved artillery." This is the cheerful cry of Nakazene.

"Immediately order the vanguard company to make concerted efforts to pull the pontoon bridge over." This was Qian Kun's angry cry.

However, the curved artillery did not make a sound, and in the sound of three, three, two, and two-handed cannons, the vanguard company in Jiangdong already had a warning of releasing ducks.

"Sir, our shells are missing!" The report of the commander of the artillery squad was in a state of frustration.

"What do you mean?" Nakazen suspected that there was something wrong with his ears, and pointed to the shell box in front of the gun emplacement, with a puzzled expression.

The leader of the artillery squad hugged the open shell box, rushed to Nakazenone, and shouted: "There is a problem with logistics support, and what is in the box is not shells, but stones." ”

"What, stones?" Nakazen was furious: "Logistics support, what does this mean!" He didn't think it was a drop, he just thought it was a logistical sabotage, and the boxes were shipped from Japan with stones instead of shells.

Qian Kun understood it and shouted: "The shell was dropped, fuck, I was fooled!" ”

When the interpreter told Zhong Zenggen about Qian Kun's words, Zhong Zenggen also understood that he had fallen into a bad deed, the stones in the shell box, and the pontoon bridge suddenly loosened, which was all premeditated and deliberately done by the Chinese army.

Then, they understood too late, and Jiangdong actually sounded a loud trumpet of charge, only to see a whole battalion appear on the river bank, surround the vanguard company that had already gone ashore, and the officers and men of the vanguard company who were still alive had already made the action of surrender, raising their hands high, and some even knelt on the ground.

Qian Kun was looking angry across the river, but he was frightened by the dense gunfire that followed. I saw that while Jiangdong's troops were cleaning up the vanguard company, several crutches sounded at the same time, aiming at the dense second echelon on the pontoon bridge. The effect of this blow was so good, there were two companies standing densely on the pontoon, one next to the other, a bullet could pierce several people, the rear army turned around and ran, the front army had no way out, and the hit fell into the long river, and those who were not hit also jumped into the long river like dumplings, and in less than a minute, there was no one standing on the pontoon bridge.

Zhong Zenggen shouted a few firepower attacks, but no one paid attention to him, because the vanguard company had become the opponent's human wall, and if the firepower attacked, I was afraid that the first person to die would be the one hundred and ten people of the pioneer company.

You can only fight me, but I can't hit people, Qian Kun has fought this kind of battle for a long time, the artillery has no bullets, the machine guns are ineffective, and it is completely chaotic. At this time, there was a sudden dense gunfire behind him, and a group of people rushed out of the streets and alleys of Jinxi, shouting and putting guns at the same time, rushing to the front were a few crutches, and several big men in the shape of a few men put the crutches in the cup and ran while shooting, the bullet casings jumped out and flew high.

"Flank!" Qian Kun's reaction was not slow, he didn't expect that a perfect attack he designed would completely fall into the opponent's calculations, first get rid of the shells, then untie the pontoon bridge, then hit the live target on the river, and finally attack from both sides. yelled, "Run!" Rushing out of cover, ignoring the bullets flying up and down from the opposite side, he took the lead and ran downstream along the long river.

Seeing Qian Kun running away, Zhong Zenggen was not far behind, and followed closely, and the Japanese puppet soldiers only hated their parents for having two legs less, and they also ran away with the commanders.

The Japanese puppet army ran fast, Ouyang Jin's people rushed faster, and after the slow puppet army was knocked over by a few bullets, they simply knelt on the ground and raised their hands, and gradually, there were more people who surrendered, and Ouyang Jin's pursuit slowed down.

Qian Kun and Zhong Zenggen crawled out of Jinxi with the remnants of the soldiers.

Gao Guixuan asked people to use a big winch to pull the pontoon bridge back into place, and Ouyang Jin and Ouyang Jin converged, the total results of the battle were clear at a glance, one hundred and seventy people were captured, eighty-six people were killed in the river and Hexi, twenty-three people were killed in a row in the east of the river, and none of the others missed the net. The Japanese did not die much, under the impact of Ouyang Jin, only 30 or so corpses were thrown down, all of which were shot and killed indiscriminately in the course of pursuit, and several of them were wounded by stray bullets, and they would rather die than surrender, and committed suicide, which shows that the combat quality of the Japanese is quite not low. What is more satisfying is that the four curved guns were left in place, and they did not fire a single shot from beginning to end, and they were neatly arranged. Mo Di asked people to carry the curved guns across the river, threw the stones in the shell box, reloaded the shells, and the four guns had a killing machine again. With these four small cannons, can you get another curved artillery platoon! In the end, Mo Di still dispelled this idea, the shells of this kind of cannon are gone, there is no way to replenish, and the curved artillery will also become a burden, it is better to send it to Lu'an, which is regarded as a success, and it also makes the army commanders and division commanders happy.

Seeing that the pursuers did not continue to chase, Qian Kun stopped, and gathered with Zhong Zenggen to the people who were following him, and couldn't help but feel sad, everything in front of him was too unbearable. A squadron of 180 Japanese troops, left a dozen in Xuqiao, and more than 30 in Jinxi, went to almost a small team, the most troublesome thing is, because of the embarrassment, all the heavy weapons were lost, not only lost the curved artillery, but even the Taizheng grenadier and shells were thrown along the road, there was a squad, there was not even a crooked handle left, as for the ammunition box reserved by the baggage team, the rice flour and the big iron pot, when they ran, no one thought about it at all, and became the opponent's trophy. The puppet army is too few, so little that it makes people's hearts ache, even lame and wounded, less than 200 people, they are even more embarrassed than the Japanese army, some are not only empty-handed, they don't even have a big cover, and even the shoes under their feet have run away, and they are scratched out by small stones, and they are drenched in blood.

"Chief of Staff, I'm surprised, how do you know that the devils and the devils will choose to assemble in this place?" Zhao Shengan, the deputy commander of the assault company, looked at the thin monkey with adoring eyes.

The thin monkey smiled and said, "I estimate that Ouyang Jin will not chase after him for a kilometer at most, and he will never chase after him again, and he never does anything too tiring." After Ouyang Jin stopped, the devils definitely had to run for a while, and here, this small fork river just blocked their progress, and it happened to rest and assemble here. Then they will find a way to cross the fork of the river, and the little stone bridge in front of them will be ambushed here, just to make a profit. ”

While the thin monkey was talking, the Japanese puppet army had already begun to move towards them, and saw this small stone bridge from a distance, which was the best way to evacuate.

Soon, the Japanese puppet army entered the ambush circle of the thin monkey.

"Hit?" Zhao Shengan asked.

The thin monkey shook his head and said, "There are many of them, but I am afraid that there are more than three hundred people, and we have few people, but we can't be entangled by them, let them cross the bridge, and when there is still a third of the way after two-thirds, we will attack." The Japanese puppet army that has already crossed the bridge will definitely not come to the rescue, but will only speed up the pace and flee, and our pressure will not be too great, if we can leave about a hundred more people here, the pressure on Wang Xianlin's first battalion of Hao Wenbo in Jiangtang will be much less. Remember, we must always be clear about how much we have the ability to eat, eat as much as we can, and choke people if we eat too much, and we must not suffer unnecessary losses because of underestimating the enemy. ”

Zhao Shengan nodded, he knew that the reason why the thin monkey said so clearly was to teach himself, because sooner or later the thin monkey would hand over the entire assault company to himself, so he should mature quickly and take over the thin monkey's class as soon as possible.

The Japanese army was in front, followed by the Chinese army where Qian Kun and Zhong Zenggen were located. The Chinese army is mainly composed of some unarmed and wounded soldiers, they walk relatively slowly, some with their heads covered, some with crutches, and some supporting each other, as long as you see them, you can be completely sure that this is a group of guys who have lost the battle. Finally, there is a fairly neat puppet army company, responsible for the rear of the palace.

Thin Monkey and Zhao Shengan exchanged a look, and laughed in unison, their target was the puppet army of the last company.

When the last wounded soldier crossed the small stone bridge, and the rear army also moved over, just as they were about to go to the bridge, they saw a large area of grass suddenly fly in the ditch on the side of the road, and then nearly a hundred Japanese* birds flew over and landed in the marching ranks, followed by a deafening explosion.

Qian Kun, who had already reached the other side, was shocked, but he didn't dare to turn back, he just quickened his pace and left quickly in a way similar to trotting, as for what happened on the other side of the stone bridge, he didn't care about it at all.

The Mauser M712 assault pistol played its maximum function at this time, twenty bullets swept out, in front of a fan, with a shuttle finished, there was no standing puppet army at the head of the stone bridge, or dead or kneeling, or the body was tightly attached to the ground, trembling all over.

"Shoot and don't kill!" Hearing Zhao Sheng'an's voice from afar, the thin monkey smiled, he sat in the ditch and did not charge, charging is not his strength, in fact, it is not the strength of the assault company, the strength of the assault company is to bully people, bully desperate people. This gang of puppet soldiers is desperate, so they deserve to be bullied by the assault company.

Put away your Mauser M712, pick up the 38 big covers around the puppet army, untie the bullet box and knife on the puppet army's waist and carry it on your back, the assault company immediately became an ordinary infantry company, two platoons are responsible for guarding, one platoon concentrates the still alive puppet army, let them dig pits, bury the dead puppet army, the most important job in the war is not to storm the corpse wilderness, this is in our own land, it is our own people who cause the plague to suffer. The thin monkey said to Zhao Sheng'an that if this was a war in Japan, let Lao Tzu bury the dead, unless the sun came out of the west.
