Chapter 114: Fighting Around the Battle
The old man's crow's mouth, as soon as he finished speaking, a shell fell around them, fortunately, the location of the machine gun fire point chosen by Xia Yuan was good, low in the middle and high on both sides, as long as the shells did not fall in the pit, on both sides of the pit, they would not be injured.
Xia Yuan was stunned, and did not forget to advise: "The bullets are gone, the gun is gone, just lose it, hurry up and find a place to hide." ”
He put the gun in an abandoned house more than ten meters away from the two stunned people, the roof was made of wood and tiles, most of them were broken, the tiles fell everywhere, stepping on a tile, making a crisp clicking sound, the windows were made of paper paste, and the living conditions of the family were obviously good.
After the raging artillery fire, the windows and the outer wall were basically blown up, the wall on the left was crooked outward, and the house became a dilapidated house.
Xia Yuan put the gun on the window, and in a gap, he found the grenadier of the Japanese devil, and only half of his body could be seen. The Japanese devil loaded, and this half of his body was also shaking constantly, flashing through this gap from time to time.
Xia Yuan took aim slightly, and without waiting for him to finish loading a shell, he pulled the trigger, searched for the bullets, passed through the window, the broken door, flew over the broken wall, and accurately hit the Japanese devils who loaded the ammunition, the battlefield was too noisy, and no one cared about the gunshots, not to mention, Xia Yuan's gunshots were very dull, and if he didn't listen carefully, he couldn't hear them at all.
A Japanese devil beside him tilted his head and looked at his fallen partner suspiciously, until the blood flowed on the ground, he was horrified to find that his companion died, and the death was very strange, their position was obviously close to the rear, and there were many Japanese soldiers around, but the others were fine, and he died.
Looking at the cannonball he was holding in his hand, the Japanese soldier seemed to understand, and looked around and found no figure of the Chinese man.
"Could it be the ghost!?"
The Japanese devil was shocked in his heart.
During the operation, the squad leader told them that they would face a very strong opponent in this mission.
Phantom.
The ghost appeared in the battle of Luodian, after the failure of the final counteroffensive organized by the national army, the situation in Luodian fell to the Japanese army, and the national army began to withdraw from Luodian, using the villages and towns around Luodian to defend and block, and the Japanese army also entered a state of rest.
However, a night raid squad suddenly appeared, breaking the quiet night, this night raid squad took more than a week, launched no less than ten night raids, caused huge casualties to the Japanese troops, caused great damage to their positions, more than three squadrons of troops in more than a week of events, was wiped out by this sudden appearance of the Chinese people.
Through intelligence personnel, the interception of intelligence from the national army showed that the name of this unit that suddenly appeared was Ghost, and it was a national army unit that had just appeared, and its combat capability was very strong.
Among them, the soldiers of the national army who led the ghost team are codenamed 'ghosts', he has strong combat capabilities, night attack capabilities, attack capabilities, and shooting capabilities, and he has never seen such a powerful combat ability in the division, and even alarmed the commander-in-chief of the national army, Commander Chen.
Once such a soldier is put into the Luodian battlefield, according to the current strength of the Japanese army, the Japanese army with a small force is not the opponent of this ghost, and the casualty figure of the entire defense line is quite stable at present, if the number of casualties in a certain place suddenly increases, either the national army has invested more troops and vitality configuration, or this ghost has appeared.
As the battle had been going on for a day, only the 3rd Brigade of the 11th Cavalry Regiment had suffered the most casualties, and careful investigation soon revealed the strangeness.
A few days ago, the 22nd Wing was defeated, and they swallowed up a lot of positions, but now it is unusual, not only holding the position, but also causing huge casualties to the Japanese army. According to the investigation, in the direction of Du's house, the national army neither reinforced nor transferred heavy firepower, and completely relied on the defenders here.
As the old Chinese saying goes, when things go wrong, there must be demons.
There must have been a reason for the sharp increase in casualties here, and sure enough, the Japanese soon discovered that the defenders here had changed, and their combat capability far exceeded that of any Nationalist army they had encountered before.
It is clear that this is the ghost who has come to the line of defense of the 51st Division.
In the ensuing battle, the units proved this with their own casualties, and those who survived said that they were attacked by a very strong marksman, very capable of fighting, and that an infantry squad was no match for him alone.
It can be seen that the ghost really appeared here.
Cold sweat began to break out on the soldier's forehead, and after such a long distance, he shot the grenadier soldiers, and where the ghost was hiding, the Japanese soldier was crazy in his head, and he couldn't understand how he was going to do it.
Xia Yuan, who fired this shot, has already changed his firing position, and the Japanese army's forces have been completely dispersed, don't look at these Japanese devils who are cautious now, but when they shoot, they have to expose their heads and bodies, as long as they are exposed, he will have a chance.
Veteran, Niu Qian relied on the firepower brought by the second stunned man to suppress and shoot those Japanese soldiers who tried to advance, but the coverage of the four people was always limited, and the Japanese army was not a few, they could stretch the battle line very long, but Xia Yuan and they couldn't.
The Japanese army took advantage of this cleverly and surrounded Xia Yuan and them from all directions, forming a circle.
"Company commander, we're surrounded."
The veteran hurriedly retreated from behind, and he also found the figure of the Japanese army behind, and there were quite a few of them, and they had formed a situation of encirclement against them.
Niu Qian ran back, looking nervous: "Company commander, the Japanese devils are coming!" ”
Xia Yuan raised his head and said, "They want to catch us all." ”
"Company commander, the machine gun is running out of bullets." The second stunned man also retreated.
The three of them waited for Xia Yuan to make an idea, their strength was not much, only four people, while the Japanese army had a squad, almost five infantry squads, and the size of a grenadier squad was close to seventy people.
"Heh, if they concentrate their forces, I really won't be able to fight, but if they surround us, it means that their forces are scattered."
Xia Yuan smiled and said, "This little Japanese devil still wants to eat us in one bite, but as everyone knows, they will be broken by us one by one." ”
The veteran patted his head: "Yes, the troops attacked by the Japanese devils, if they want to surround us, their forces have to be dispersed, which gives us the opportunity to break them one by one." ”
The veteran fell into the inherent thinking, the Japanese devils have a very strong combat ability, and once they are surrounded, the probability of rushing out is very small.
But they forgot that their combat capabilities were far greater than those of the Japanese devils.
The strength of a squad is concentrated and difficult to deal with, but they are now scattered and can be broken one by one.
"Company commander, how are we going to fight!?"
Hearing Xia Yuan's words, Niu Qian and Er were stunned and calmed down and were not flustered. The two of them believed in Xia Yuan's combat ability very much, especially the second stunned, he was the first person to see Xia Yuan's combat ability, and he was even more convinced of Xia Yuan.
Next, it is to arrange the battle plan, in fact, it is very simple, Xia Yuan's combat ability is the strongest, that is, the other three people fight around Xia Yuan and provide fire support to Xia Yuan.
The direction of their attack is in the rear, which is due to the fact that when the Japanese army is moving, it is moving from the front to the rear, encircling, and their rear, which indirectly leads to the fact that the rear is the weak point of the Japanese encirclement, and the attack is launched from here, highlighting the encirclement as quickly as possible, once they break out of the encirclement and continue to advance, then the annular encirclement presented by the Japanese army in the rear will gradually be pulled into a straight line.
On the contrary, it is more conducive to them to fight.
Xia Yuan's plan is also quite simple, to break through ten thousand methods, the Japanese army's offensive mode has not changed since ancient times, coupled with the dispersion of their forces, it can be said that he knows the Japanese army very well, but the Japanese army does not know him very much, in this case, the Japanese army must not be his opponent.
The offensive officially began.
The Japanese troops blocking the rear are an infantry squad, relatively scattered all over the ruins, many Japanese troops are cautious to observe the ruins in front, and after determining the safety, they take the lead in sending a few soldiers to seize the ruins in front, and the soldiers in the rear are covering, in this gap, the Japanese army is exposing their bodies.
Bang!
Bang!
The gunshot rang out, Xia Yuan's shooting speed was very fast, the 38-type rifle was a bolt-type rifle, but in his hands, it felt like a semi-automatic rifle, the shooting speed was fast, and the Japanese devils didn't react at all, so they fell down four Japanese devils.
When the other Japanese devils saw it, they immediately shrank back nervously, not daring to expose their bodies, for fear of being shot by Xia Yuan.
They didn't expose their bodies, so they thought that Xia Yuan had no way to take them.
The veteran, Niu Qian and the second stunned man, under the cover of Xia Yuan, quickly dispatched and quietly approached the hiding place of a Japanese soldier, the veteran held a gun and glanced at the second stunned man and Niu Qian, the two of them understood, looked left and right, and rushed in with a gun.
The forces of the Japanese devils are scattered, and Xia Yuan's shooting just now is intended to separate the Japanese devils, these Japanese devils quickly find cover to hide after hearing the gunshots, most of them are hiding alone, and this side is in Xia Yuan's plan.
Immediately take the method of breaking points one by one.
The Japanese devil's reaction speed was not satisfied, and when he saw the person who appeared on the left and right, he rushed to the shorter second stunned man with a gun.
Bang! The gun rang out in the rear, and it was the moment when the Japanese soldier's body was exposed.
Blood splattered in front of the two stunned men, and the Japanese soldier fell to the ground.
"What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and mend the knife!" The veteran rushed in, saw the stunned two, shouted, and caught a glimpse of the Japanese devil in the distance with the muzzle of the gun.
Before he could shoot, Xia Yuan in the rear fired, and the bullet hit the muzzle that poked out, which alarmed the Japanese soldier and retracted the muzzle again.
From the perspective of a veteran, you can see half of the body of the Japanese devil.
Niu Qian used a bayonet to mend the knife, and the second stunned man touched the grenade on the Japanese devil's body, pulled one and threw it over, and the smoke of gunpowder spread after the grenade exploded, and the three of them quickly leaned towards the position of the Japanese devil.
The Japanese devil was obviously not the opponent of the three, knowing that his location was exposed, he wanted to escape, and a fatal bullet penetrated his body.
The three veterans had already arrived, quickly approaching the Japanese devils.
Mending the knife of the knife, touching the equipment of the equipment, the vigilance is responsible for the vigilance, the infantry squad that came to encircle and suppress the three people is not the opponent of a few people at all, Xia Yuan uses a gun, keeps shooting, covering the charge of the three people, as long as the three of them do not leave their field of vision, with their own reaction speed, the Japanese devil does not want to lean out and shoot.
An infantry squad soon became the ghost of several people.
As they moved forward and cleaned up the battlefield, their ammunition and grenades increased instead of decreasing.
The Japanese troops who were pursuing from the rear soon found the corpses of the Japanese soldiers intercepted in the rear, and the squad leader who was responsible for leading the team scolded angrily, and immediately ordered that all the people in China must be killed.
As everyone knows, their nightmare has just begun.
301st Regiment Headquarters.
Hearing a huge roar from the front, Wang Yaowu quickly picked up the binoculars, came to the second floor, and looked up, but saw thick smoke billowing in the direction of Du's house, and the smoke of gunpowder rising, covering the sky and the sun.
There was an explosion, like thunder, that exploded throughout the room, spreading layer by layer, and the rumbling sound spread far and wide, echoing like a huge stone, falling into the calm surface of the lake, and the ripples produced when it spread, round and round.
"The Japanese devils have used artillery bombardment in the direction of Du's house!" The head of the 301st Regiment had a look of astonishment on his face.
"In the past, did the Japanese use artillery bombardment?" Wang Yaowu calmed his voice, put down the binoculars, and asked.
"I have never seen the Japanese use artillery bombardment." The commander of the 301st Regiment shook his head and said with a look of surprise: "And it still uses heavy artillery, at most mortars, and the most used is grenadiers, and it is the first time I have seen Japanese devils use heavy artillery." ”
The 301st Regiment has not confronted the Japanese army here for a day or two, and the Japanese army's offensive habits, all the veterans who survived, basically had a thorough understanding of the Japanese devils' offensive habits.
Later, as they retreated, the Japanese rarely used heavy artillery, at most mortars, and even mortars were not used much.
The Japanese army preferred to use grenadiers and cooperate with infantry to attack the positions of the national army, which was relatively easier for them.
This tactic is indeed brilliant.
Therefore, the Japanese troops on the front line used heavy artillery, which somewhat shocked them.
"How's the second line of defense going?" Wang Yaowu, who put down the binoculars, asked again.
The first line of defense was the area directly in front of them, but most of the position had been lost, and only a tiny part of the position was still in their hands.
With such a large-scale artillery bombardment by the Japanese army, Wang Yaowu's heart sank, and he no longer had any hope that Xia Yuan could hold on to the Du family's house.
