Chapter 9: Behind Enemy Lines (30)
On the mountain road from Gongling to Mamiao, Luo Wei and the thin monkey led the team to trot all the way. There are not many people in this team, mainly the assault company of the thin monkey, in addition to Luo Wei with the battalion headquarters police squad and the mobile platoon of the special service company, a total of more than 160 people. Luo Wei knew that these two platoons were the last strength of the 526 Regiment in Mo Enemy's heart, as long as they did not move, it showed that the 526 Regiment still had the remaining strength, and once they moved them, it would be the last death, so Luo Wei easily did not dare to use these two platoons, and he trained them very strictly every day, but he never had the opportunity to practice.
The mobile platoon of the special service company is a unit that has been perfected after the withdrawal of the brigade and the establishment of the regiment, and it is mainly responsible for the vigilance task of the poison platoon and the arson platoon in peacetime; when marching, it acts as the leader for these two platoons, and when it retreats, it covers the two platoons and breaks the rear; therefore, the offensive and defensive strength of this platoon is not weak, and it can be said that it is second to none in the entire guard battalion. There are 42 people in the platoon, three squads under the platoon commander and deputy platoon commander, a pilot squad focusing on path-finding, a southern 16-day pistol equipped with a rate, and an interception squad mainly after breaking, equipped with an American-style 1936 M1 semi-automatic rifle produced by the Springfield Arsenal. This kind of gun, the steel drain* containing 8 rounds of ammunition is pressed into the magazine from the top of the receiver, which is very simple, and when the last bullet is fired, the gun hangs up, * will be automatically ejected from the magazine by the unclipper, and will make a sound to remind the soldier to reload the bullet. Compared with the Japanese army's 38 big gaila firing a big bolt once, the rate of fire is much faster, and the bullet firing density of a squad can be compared with using a platoon of 38 big gai. The only thing that is not ideal is that this gun uses 7.62X63 bullets, and it is difficult to supply, which is the arms purchased by the Nationalist Government from the United States in the spring of 1939, and can only be equipped with one squad per regiment, which is very precious. There is also a squad that uses the Soviet-made 1938 type of water beads, this weapon was distributed after the 526 brigade was withdrawn from the brigade and the regiment was established, and the 526 regiment got twenty pieces, so it can only be equipped with one squad, using 7.62x54mmR bullets, with a simpler structure, smaller size, and lighter weight PU (Russian ПУ) type 3.5x sight. The only problem is that there is a problem with the supply of bullets for domestic water beads, a water bead is only equipped with 100 bullets, and one shot is less.
The rapid march all the way saw the difference in various equipment, with the southern sixteen marches easily, the assault company equipped with the Mauser M712 to carry the shell gun on the back, but also with easy hands, the American Springfield M1 is only one meter and zero points long, obliquely on the back, it is also considered comfortable, only the back of the three eight big cover and the water beads are a little uncomfortable, the water bead gun is one meter two three long, the three eight big cover is as long as one meter 27, the tall can still run on their backs, and the shorter ones can only carry the run. Seeing those soldiers who were struggling to run, the thin monkey couldn't help but say to Luo Wei: "Old Luo, it's not strange that you say it's strange, the Japanese are the shortest, and they just got the longest guns, isn't this looking for abuse?" ”
Listening to the thin monkey's words, Luo Wei said with a smile: "When we were in the military academy, the firearms instructor once said that the Japanese specially made a long spear in order not to suffer because of their short arms and short arms when they were engaged in white-knuckle warfare. The so-called one inch long and one inch strong, the Japanese also invented the 30-type sword as a special bayonet on the 38 big cover, the 38 big cover with the bayonet is as long as 1.65 meters, which is longer than the height of most Japanese sergeants. "Thin Monkey then found out that he has been a soldier for a long time, and he has been promoted to the chief of staff of the major battalion, but he has not used the famous 38 big cover Arisaka rifle, when he was a soldier, he used Hanyang, and in the militia regiment, he used Longzhou Kuaili, and when he arrived at the anti-Japanese battlefield, he changed to the original German M712, and he had a lot of 38 big covers, but he had not used it seriously. Curiously asked, "Is the little devil's gun the longest with the spear?" Luo Wei shook his head and said: "No, although the gun of Shui Lianzhu is shorter than the 38 big cover, it can be loaded with spear stabs, and it is one centimeter longer than the 38 big cover. The thin monkey laughed: "These old hairy people, it is better to directly put a Zhangba snake spear on the rifle." ”
The two walked hurriedly and chatted all the way, and unconsciously passed the old building of the Ding family, and when they arrived at Dongjiawan, the thin monkey suddenly stopped and said to Luo Wei: "It's wrong for us to do this." ”
"What's wrong?" Luo Wei asked strangely.
"The enemy set off earlier than us, from Gaohebu to Mamiao is also closer than us, if we kill Mamiao directly, I am afraid that the enemy has already collected food and returned, we run like a dead dog, and the result is still an afterthought, playing in vain!" Skinny Monkey said.
"That's right!" Luo Wei immediately understood what the thin monkey meant: "You mean not to go to the Horse Temple?" ”
"Yes!" The thin monkey said: "We set up an ambush on the road back to Gaohebu in the horse temple, and beat this group of devils and two devils back to the horse gun." ”
"Good!" Luo Wei agreed: "Where to fight?" ”
"We are familiar with this road, we have followed Chief of Staff Huang Tianhua twice in Qipanling before, which ditch and ditch have not been walked, there is a small dirt mountain in the middle of the Jiang family's old house and the Li family's serpentine, and the road has a few bends when passing here, we will ambush there, and we will definitely be able to catch the other party off guard." Skinny Monkey said.
"Okay" Luo Wei nodded: "It must be fast here, it is very close to Gaohebu, if you attract reinforcements, it will only take an hour, you must fight quickly within half an hour, you can arrange it specifically." ”
Thin Monkey ordered the mobile platoon of the spy company to lead the squad and rush to the horse temple as fast as possible to understand the situation, and at the same time ordered all the others to rush to the Li family snake.
Rushed to the small earth mountain has not been hidden, the pilot team who rushed back from the horse temple also arrived here, out of breath to make a clear news, the devil and the two devils have set off from the horse temple to return, most of them carry food, some are still driving big cars, they can't go fast, but only six or seven miles away, how slow the Japanese puppet army goes, at most it is only an hour.
"We only had an hour to prepare." Luo Wei said: "Let's go, go and see the terrain first, if you can fight, don't be reluctant if you can't, there are many opportunities, and the little devil can't be beaten in a day or two." ”
The thin monkey smiled, he and Shi Chong Luo Wei were both company commanders of the guard battalion, but after Chen Zhengxin left, the boss brought Luo Wei up to be the battalion commander, and he and Shi Chong could only be under him, he and Shi Chong were very convinced, Luo Wei was stronger than himself in grasping the overall situation, he would make trade-offs, he would give up, judge the situation, would not be brutal, and would not fight uncertain battles.
This small dirt hill is really not a good place to fight, the mountain is not high, not big, there are some weeds on the mountain, a few trees are scattered and scattered, and the road leading from Gaohebu to Mamiao can be seen at a glance.
"Lao Luo, I think this battle can be fought." Skinny Monkey said.
"How?" Although Luo Wei felt that the terrain advantage of this place was not obvious, he was also a little unwilling to waste such a fighter in vain.
"Your Water Lianzhu squad will be the main attacker." The thin monkey said: "Your water lianzhu squad is ambushed in the middle, one person against one Japanese, one shot at a time, no problem." ”
Luo Wei "chuckled" in his heart, this guy was actually beating my sniper squad idea. Good idea! Fighting snakes and fighting seven inches, a squad of Japanese soldiers is the soul of this team, as long as this Japanese squad is defeated, I am afraid that the remaining puppet army squad will no longer have a trace of fighting spirit.
A water lianzhu with a springfield M1 as a combat unit, the water lianzhu is responsible for sniping, if the sniper fails, the enemy attack, the springfield M1 interception squad will have to take the responsibility of interception. The assault company's pike platoon blocked the road to Gao Hebu, and two M712 Mauser platoons were responsible for the charge.
Seeing that the thin monkey also took out the Mauser M712 on his waist and was eager to try, Luo Wei grabbed it and said: "The two of us go to the top of the mountain, where we can see the overall situation, and the pilot class will also rest there after coming back, so it will be regarded as a reserve." ”
The thin monkey smiled and said, "Still Lao Luo, you can calm down, I'm just a little impulsive." ”
Luo Wei and the thin monkey came to the top of the hill to find a place where the artemisia grass passed over the head and sat down, and looked through the crack in the grass at the road of the horse temple, and after a while, a group of marching troops like refugees appeared. As soon as he saw this team, Luo Wei couldn't help but smile dumbly, and said to the thin monkey: "It seems that we value them too much, just such a team of porters, all surrender in one charge, and we have solemnly made an offensive plan." ”
The thin monkey shook his head and said, "It's better to be prepared than not to be prepared, there are more than a dozen Japanese here, I don't dare to charge without killing them." ”
Luo Wei nodded, they have seen the tenacity of the Japanese, as long as there is a breath left, they will make an endless fight with you, the invincible boss said, the best enemy is the dead enemy, the best Japanese are also dead Japanese, only the dead Japanese will not make trouble again.
The team is gradually getting closer, this is a team that can no longer be called a team, all the puppet soldiers are either picking or carrying, either sacks or cloth pockets, the most talented, is to take off the outer pants, tie the trouser legs, tighten the trousers, it has become a very convenient and applicable rice jacket, riding on the neck, there are forty or fifty pounds. A squad of Japanese troops is very concentrated, they do not carry rice bags or burdens, they are responsible for two carts, the carts have no livestock to pull, the Japanese act as livestock, two in the front pull, two in the back push, and one left and one right two in the gang. There were only three people in the entire team who still had weapons in their hands, one was the squad leader of the Japanese army, and the other two were supposed to be Japanese soldiers in charge of guarding.
If such a group of unsuspecting grain carriers does not take it, Luo Wei will definitely not stop. The thin monkey shook his head and said, "Damn, I'm tired, I've killed this guy, leaving a lot of food behind, and we're tired of moving back." Luo Wei heard the thin monkey's broken thoughts, and couldn't help but laugh and said, "Thin monkey, you can't leave some puppet soldiers behind and let them be porters." The thin monkey shook his head and said, "Puppet army? No. Let them go back to Anqing, fight with the Japanese for food, and also tell other puppet troops about our Chinese attitude of not fighting Chinese, do less things that lack morality, and be careful to settle the general account in the future. ”
Gossiping, the grain convoy entered the ambush area, only to hear the crisp sound of the rifle of the water, and the ambush began.
