393 Still Miscalculated
"There is a pit there, let's hide there!" In the corner of the battlefield, Cao Chang's eyes kept sweeping around, and soon stared at a depression, and immediately called his subordinates around him to run towards it.
Two Japanese soldiers ran to the depression and jumped in. Chief Cao also jumped in. Just as he was about to lie down, the landmine buried here by the National Rescue Army exploded.
The land under her feet was instantly exploded, the soil flew into the sky, flames spewed out from the crack, dozens of fragments flew out, and then the goddess scattered like flowers.
Cao Chang was standing next to the mine. The moment the powerful air wave overturned him, three pieces of fragments penetrated into his body, and the severe pain quickly spread throughout his body. Then he felt his whole body collapse on the ground without control.
The two soldiers in front died even worse. One of them had their thighs blown away, revealing bright red flesh and white bones.
One landmine reimbursement of three Japanese devils, which is definitely a good result.
The soldiers behind him lay on the ground when they heard the explosion and avoided the oncoming mine fragments.
Looking at the bodies of three colleagues lying in the depression, when they looked at the craters that had been burned in the middle of the corpse, the remaining Japanese all looked at each other with expressions of looking at each other, and a trace of inexplicable panic flashed in the eyes of several soldiers.
There were shells above his head and mines under his feet. He was killed without even seeing the shadow of his opponent. The Japanese were not afraid of death, but they were afraid that they would die inexplicably.
At this moment, unless the superior man forced everyone to hide in the depression, he would never run forward, and he would all sit on the ground with his head in his arms and motionless.
The same picture appears in every corner of the battlefield, and a large number of Japanese devils are killed and injured at every moment.
The artillery squad that had just set up the artillery was the worst, and they were targeted by four mortars.
The shooting officers at their location had long been measured by the National Rescue Army. Although the shells fired had not yet reached the point of hitting 100 shots, it was still possible to hit two of the four shells.
When four shells hit them in the first round, the Japanese in the two gun positions were hit.
The gunner was half-squatting next to the mortar, ready to provide artillery support to the infantry at any time. Flying shells scattered everywhere, just in time to cause them the maximum damage.
This was true, with only two shells causing nearly ten casualties to the artillery squad.
Until then, the remaining gunners lay on the ground.
Although doing this can reduce the damage caused by mortar shells to them, it cannot withstand the number of shells that hit the top of their heads.
A shell can only kill one person, and dozens of shells can be smashed down in a row can also reimburse the artillery squad.
When the artillery fire ended in two minutes, the ambush and the frontal blocking troops were like they were injected with chicken blood, yelling and rushing towards the battlefield full of bullet craters and corpses...
At three o'clock in the morning, the Japanese Pacification Guard Command was still brightly lit.
The two captains were all waiting for news, and their anxious expressions became stronger and stronger.
The reinforcements left at 10 o'clock in the evening to pacify. According to the principle, they could march in a hurry in less than three hours to fight the battlefield with the national rescue army.
Before the reinforcements set off, the two of them repeatedly reminded the squadron leader to report the situation to the county town as soon as possible no matter the result of the fight.
In order to facilitate contact, Major Fang Jing also gave the only radio station of the brigade command to the reinforcements.
Now five hours have passed, and the command has not received any telegrams from reinforcements.
What is even more heartbreaking is that since an hour ago, the command center called them every twenty minutes, and has called them four times in a row, but there is still no response.
This is too abnormal.
Major Asakawa had thought that they had an accident outside the city, but as soon as this idea appeared in his mind, he rejected it himself.
The reinforcements had more than 400 people, and they needed guns and heavy machine guns, and they had very strong strength.
Even if they are attacked by a regiment of Chinese troops, they can hold on for a long time, and it is impossible for them to not even have time to send and receive telegrams.
"Did the radio station that the command strengthened for them was broken or destroyed in the battle!" Major Fang Jing guessed.
This is the only explanation he can think of at the moment.
But as soon as he said that, Asakawa rejected it: "It shouldn't be!"
"The radio station must follow the commander during the operation, and the possibility of danger is very low. Moreover, the reinforcements will definitely try their best to protect the radio station and radio operators, and the chances of accidents will be even smaller."
"I can't wait?" Master Fang Jing became even more anxious after hearing this.
After replenishing the 250 new recruits and fifty veterans transferred by the brigade commander, although the Fangjing Brigade has not yet recovered its full force, its total force has exceeded 900.
If you train well, Fangjing Team will sooner or later return to its peak state.
However, the plan could not keep up with the changes. As soon as I integrated the new recruits into the army, the combat mission came and I didn't even give myself time to train the troops.
Master Fang Jing was originally trying to find a reason to refuse, but when he heard that his target was his old opponent's National Salvation Army, and this time he was moved by the fight head-on confrontation.
The National Salvation Army is the culprit that caused the Fangjing brigade to lose troops and generals. Their mobile warfare may not be their opponent, but if it is a head-on battle, Major Fangjing has full confidence in leading a strengthening squadron to eliminate the two battalions of the National Salvation Army.
Immediately, four infantry squads, one heavy machine gun squad, one mortar squad, and one infantry squad sent by the garrison to lead the way, gathering more than 430 troops to fight to the battlefield.
When the troops left the city, Major Fang Jing was full of confidence and felt that he could finally take revenge.
It was completely unexpected that this was a trap. The reinforcements disappeared as soon as they left the city, as if they had disappeared out of thin air.
Nearly 400 people in the reinforcement unit belonged to Fangjing Brigade. If something really happened to them, they would not only lose all their troops that had just replenished, but also sent another reinforcement team to reduce the total strength of the troops to more than 500, less than half of the full force.
This is too expensive, so Master Fang Jing can't accept it at all.
Major Asakawa also began to be anxious. Although most of the reinforcements were not subordinates, they were all imperial troops and garrisons in the Punishing County.
If the entire army was destroyed outside the city, as the captain of the pacification garrison, he would have to bear a considerable responsibility.
He immediately proposed: "Why should I send a few scouts to the battlefield to find them?"
Master Fang Jing nodded quickly: "Send now, the faster the better!"
At five o'clock in the morning, the reconnaissance cavalry sent by Major Asakawa came back.
After learning that the reinforcements were really unexpected outside the city, Master Fang Jing's reaction was the most violent. He grabbed the collar of the scout and shouted incredible face: "This is impossible. There are more than 400 imperial troops in the reinforcements. How could it be killed in such a short time!"
"The National Salvation Army only has one regiment of troops. I don't believe what they use to kill so many of our troops!"
Because the scout couldn't breathe, his face was quickly turned red. He gasped and reported: "Sir, what Bei Zhi said is true. The bodies of the reinforcements are outside the Dongzhuang stronghold. A large area of our bodies were densely packed, and many of them were blown up..."
"There are craters everywhere in the middle of the corpse, both big and small. We estimate that the National Salvation Army fired at least four hundred shells in the battle!"
"Hiss..." Master Asakawa was breathing a sigh of relief. Octavia realized that the destruction of the reinforcements had something to do with these craters.
Staring at the scout, he asked, "Tell me in detail about the crater you just mentioned!"
Major Fangjing also calmed down from his anger. As soon as he heard Major Asakawa's question, he knew that he had judged the key to the destruction of the reinforcements.
He quickly loosened the collar of the scout and waited for him to answer.
The scout took several deep breaths before he recovered.
"When we arrived at the Dongzhuang stronghold, there were all craters and there were dense corpses, which looked like there were more than corpses."
"We roughly checked the bodies of the soldiers who died in battle. Almost all of them were killed by shells. Many soldiers were blown up to blood and had seven or eight shells slashed on their bodies. Some soldiers even had their bodies broken, and their broken limbs and arms were splashed everywhere!"
"Most of the craters have similar specifications, and you can tell at a glance that they were blown up by mortar shells."
"There are dozens of craters that are particularly large. There are still many soldiers around the craters who were killed by shock waves. Bei Yi thinks that those craters were bombed out by mountain cannon shells and infantry cannon shells!"
"We also found the National Salvation Army blocking our positions and their artillery positions on the battlefield. The blocking positions were built according to the standards of a main battalion. The range of the artillery positions was large, and at least twenty different types of artillery can be set up."
After hearing this, Master Asakawa sighed: "I know how the reinforcements were eliminated by the National Rescue Army!"
Major Fang Jing also understood: "The National Salvation Army first sent troops to block the reinforcements head-on, and after our troops gathered together, then concentrated artillery to cover our troops, severely damaged us, and finally launched a counterattack."
"The reinforcements have strong combat power. If they face each other head-on, no matter how strong their combat power is, they will still be a flesh and blood body. They are still vulnerable in front of powerful artillery shells. As long as the opponent's artillery fire attacks us fierce enough, no matter how many of us are, they will be killed!"
"Bageya Road, the National Salvation Army is indeed very difficult. We calculated that they will block us head-on, but we did not calculate that they had the strength to concentrate dozens of artillery guns to deal with us."
Major Asakawa seemed to have been used to it for a long time, and his reaction was not as exaggerated as Master Fang Jing: "Kun Fang Jing, I have been used to this kind of thing for a long time. Whether it is the National Salvation Army or the Eighth Route Army, they like to attack us unexpectedly."
"When I attacked them several times before, I thought I was going to win, but they could always find a way to turn the defeat into victory!"
