Chapter 197: The Great War is Coming
"This counts as a rope ......"
Camp Commander Xue of Shaanxi looked at the things in front of him and was stunned.
It was a rope made of bark, and in front of their one-man single-pit battle line, someone was speeding to lay mines.
Naturally, the thunder was a steel helmet mine that kept coming from behind, and the people who came to deliver the mine put down piles of mines that smelled so bad that they had to cover their noses, and then quickly picked up horse meat or something, and quickly ran towards the other side of the river.
There are a lot of things, and even Belarus drove a car a few times back and forth.
Calm returned to the battlefield, but this time Zhang Sixing began to build fortifications on this side of the river.
Disgusting and lacking in the humanitarian glow, the breastwork was made of Japanese corpses and earth and rocks. A company of infantry was placed behind those so-called "fortifications".
The company was armed with the rifles of the Japanese cavalry, and the victory that had just taken place had made the soldiers determined to fight.
"Can such a line of defense really stop the devil...... Moreover, how can there be a defense line built directly on the road, and there is not even a foxhole on both sides to dig anything. ”
Looking at the line of defense hastily piled up by Japanese corpses, dirt, and stones, the infantrymen who had been sent here muttered in their hearts one by one, and hurriedly got used to the Japanese carbines.
"I'm afraid of begging, and I don't expect us to really fight them, but we will lose if we lose. This is called the false and the real, the true and the false. Besides......"
Speaking of this, the company commander, who was also carrying a horse pistol, glanced back, skimming out the incomprehensible Cantonese,
"My Lao Pang just wants to let Chief Zhang see, it's not that the Guangde Mechanic can fight, and the 66th Army of our Guangdong Army is not ambiguous. This task of leading the devil into the ambush circle falls into our hands, let's complete it for him, and we will be paratroopers together in the future......"
"Company Commander Pang, what is a paratrooper ......?"
A company of people stood behind the wall of the corpses of the Japanese who had been built up like sandbags, and if it weren't for the mud and masonry behind the corpse wall, no one would have believed that this thin breastwork could stop bullets.
However, they didn't need to block for long, they fought and retreated, and then retreated all the way to the edge of the pontoon.
It was important for the Japanese to see that the breastwork formed by the corpses of their soldiers. It is better for the Japanese to be angry and take their soldiers lightly at the touch of a button.
Looking up at the sky, it was almost noon. Sitting on a sandbag in the trench, Jason. Raul opened his face armor and lit a cigarette, holding a walkie-talkie and chatting with Zhang Sixing.
"Sir, it's probably not too difficult for us to survive until the evening. It's noon now, let's just hold on for another afternoon, and besides, the main position you have built is so strong, with a little devil ......"
As he spoke, his heels slammed rhythmically against the chest wall of the battlefield.
"This is a field battle, and we are dealing with it...... It's okay to take advantage of it once, but you can't ......."
Thinking about the soldiers in his hands, Zhang Sixing didn't have much confidence in holding out until the night. There are only a few hundred people who can really be used as people in it, and they come out of the Sixing warehouse.
The others were just gathered routs, and he was confident that he didn't have the talent of a general, and he could let the soldiers know how to fight in the middle of the night.
The victory in the early morning was nothing more than a series of tricks that succeeded, but there are always times on the battlefield when it is necessary to fight hard.
This afternoon's battle depends on how well the Guangdong soldiers in front of them have completed their task of luring the enemy. If you really lure another group of enemies into the barrel formation......
Just keep watch until night......
According to the report of the old tobacco pouch, now that they have enough transportation, they can quickly evacuate under the noses of the Japanese.
After all, now Zhang Sixing has two more four-wheeled carts with a few more baggage trucks, more than 200 horses, and nearly 1,000 bicycles in addition to the original cars.
How can you go out seventy or eighty kilometers at night.
And with them in such a block, I don't know the other directions, at least it will be difficult for the devils in front of me to chase after them.
In addition, there are four walkie-talkies provided by the enemy's 101st Division, which is really a good thing, but unfortunately it is a little less.
"Hansen's side depends on you, and the back road must be stabilized for Lao Tzu."
Just finished chatting with Hanson Raul, and contacted again,
"Sir, I'm Zhang Changlin, the devil is here, and I ...... in three ways."
Zhang Sixing, who was lying on the river bank, found that the Japanese attack force had appeared.
Yes, apparently the Japanese cavalry officers who had fled back had brought back the situation here on the riverbank, which greatly reduced the possibility of another ambush.
During the phone call between Zhang Changlin and Zhang Sixing, the Cantonese army in front of them had already mingled with the Japanese "ping pong".
It has to be said that after the Japanese formed in the plains, the speed of the charge was very fast.
There were three brigades of the scale of the charge, which the company in front could never stop, and the only hope was that they would cause misunderstanding among the Japanese before retreating.
The Japanese pulled out the skirmishers, and the front row and the back row wanted to be about ten meters apart. A thousand men were enough to pull open the wide underneath and charge the Cantonese positions from three directions.
Before the Cantonese army fired two shots, the shells of the devils over there fell on the defense line of the Cantonese army.
Zhang Sixing saw with his own eyes that several soldiers behind a curved breastwork were lost in the smoke from the explosion of artillery shells.
At this time, he noticed that something was not good, originally he had attracted the attention of the Japanese with a company position, and then gradually lured the Japanese attack to the river.
It is a pity that the Japanese attack troops of the two brigades on both sides now only split one squadron to flank the Cantonese defense line, and the others approached the pistol teams that dug holes on the spot.
This is not the best expectation, nor is it the worst, but Zhang Sixing can't help but be a little disappointed.
Moreover, the Cantonese soldiers on the battlefield were ruthless enough, and they were hit by a few shots, but they still fought to the death on the battlefield.
The soldiers at the front breastwork had already begun to pull mines.
In front of each arc-shaped defensive line, there are ten steel helmet mines. As for how to pull, it all depends on what that Pang company commander thinks.
According to Zhang Xingxiang, pull two at a time to stop the enemy from charging, and then kill with rifle fire. In this way, it is only necessary to inflict as many casualties as possible on the enemy, and then quickly retreat.
Ten minutes into the battle, the first line of defense was already in jeopardy.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
A large amount of shrapnel was sprayed at the Japanese soldiers, who were quickly attacking by means of artillery bombardment.
It is a pity that at this time the Japanese were in an attack formation, and the skirmish line was quite open, so although five mines exploded, not many people were blown down.
The Japanese should have known by this time that they were encountering "crippler" mines, so they all fell down after the first row of mines.
With the violent explosion of the steel helmet mine, the soldiers of the Cantonese army who were in charge of luring the enemy in front took advantage of the explosion of the mine to retreat back from the defense line built by the corpses.
However, Zhang Sixing clearly saw that there were still a few people left behind, lying there like dead corpses.
"This surnamed Pang is a bit of a ghost in the war."
