Chapter 649 Flying Chains (14)
If the Japanese don’t treat the Chinese civil servants as human beings, we have to treat the civil servants as human beings, right? But if the Japanese dragged the wounded back, they were really unwilling to let them go. Zhan Ming rolled his eyes and was thinking about his ideas.
"Hey, I said." Zhan Ming pulled Xu Yang, "Do you think this is OK?"
Zhan Ming was speaking very quietly. Xu Yang hurriedly pricked up his ears and listened. After listening, he grinned and laughed out loud.
"If you really have it, just do that!"
After exploring deep, Guizhi saw that the method of using civil servants as hostages was indeed effective, and he also tilted his head and started to have dirty thoughts.
Ten minutes later, the Japanese wounded soldiers were taken back to their own formation. At the same time, a squadron of the Japanese Engineer Brigade drove dozens of donkeys to appear in front of the formation. There were about ten civilians in the middle of the donkey, responsible for traction and driving away the donkeys.
Shendiqiugui did not determine that the thing that exploded just now was a remote-controlled bomb. After all, this thing is "too high-end". The Japanese army who had never eaten such a bomb could not understand it for a while. Shendiqiugui believed that it was a landmine.
Because of his contempt for the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces, Guizhi did not expect to use engineers for the first attack. Now he was bombed and forced to send engineers to carry out mine clearance. The intelligence of engineers was enough to support them in the idea of using livestock to open the way. After some beating and scolding, the engineers snatched more than 40 old and weak donkeys from the civilians of the baggage team and prepared to sacrifice them to rush to minefields.
The donkey owner who was robbed could only squat on the ground and sighed. These donkey owners were all civil servants requisitioned by the Japanese. The local cooperative association and the baojia chief and other pseudo-government personnel had promised them that the Japanese army would only use donkeys, mules and horses, and would not confiscate or kill them to eat meat. After the war was over, the Japanese army would also give wage compensation.
It sounds nice, but everyone knows how there is no loss in war? Many people are reluctant to be requisitioned, but their arms cannot twist their thighs. Facing the traitors who are like wolves and tigers, honest farmers have no way to disobey.
The civilians who were selected by the Japanese to drive away the donkeys were even more unlucky. They were directly exposed to the guns of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces. They trembled and prayed that the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces would not hit them.
In order to dig deep into Guizhi, he also sent more Chinese civilians to take the lead. This plan is very vicious. If the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces fight, it will be of bad reputation for killing civilians. If it does not fight, the Japanese can then pounce on the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces.
But Yokoyama's husband disagreed with this. Yokoyama believed that in this way, the civilians without formations would definitely blow up the camp and wait for an opportunity to escape. Once the civilians resist or flee cleanly, the Japanese army itself would have to take on the work of transportation of supplies and would inevitably mobilize living forces to do these logistics work, thereby reducing the number of combatants.
Besides, there is another consequence that we have to consider. Using the Chinese as a shield. Even if this battle can be successful, it is a stupid practice that is not worth the loss in the long run. Once this tactic is spread, it will cause great psychological pressure on the Chinese people in the rear, destroy the "fame" that the empire has worked hard to establish in Manchuria, and then recruit livestock and manpower to participate in the transportation of supplies, which will encounter great resistance.
Moreover, if you do this, you will definitely have different opinions. After all, the stability of Manchukuo is the first priority and it will overwhelm the significance of a victory in a certain battle.
It is already the limit to assigning more than ten people to drive away the donkeys, so it would be hard to say that if there are more.
The soldiers of the Anti-Japanese United Army had already seen the tricks the Japanese played, and they were all scolding the Japanese in their hearts.
"It's so dark!"
"The turtle calf beat him up and let the people take the lead."
The stupidity of the Japanese comes from feeling good and the limitations of their own cognition. They often see the favorable aspects that can arise when doing something, but ignore other adverse conditions, which do exist.
Livestock are not like humans. People who have been strictly trained can ignore death and faithfully execute orders, but livestock do not have this awareness.
Looking at the donkey and the civilians getting closer and closer, and the increasingly conspicuous Huang military-style Japanese devils, Xu Yang finally ordered.
"Shoot those bastards!"
I really don’t learn well, helping the Japanese to be accomplices, will it be a rebellious to be accomplices for the tiger?
"Cai'er", "Cai'er"... The hidden sharpshooter used a single shot to knock down several donkeys in front in one fell swoop. The wailing sound of the dying donkeys stimulated the donkeys behind and exploded the camp. The civilians leading the donkeys took the opportunity to let go of the reins, and some civilians even kicked the donkeys a few times to make them run away.
The donkey formation collapsed, and the donkey who turned around and ran down the mountain rushed to the Japanese engineers behind him, and the Japanese were suddenly in panic.
He was really smart but was mistaken for intelligence. He failed to use a donkey to rush to thunder, but was injured by a donkey. A few unlucky guys were even hit by the rolling donkey and flew far away.
After the engineers and donkeys dispersed, the first squadron of the Second Brigade flashed out. Nearly 200 Japanese soldiers followed the engineers and advanced about a hundred meters from the top of the mountain, and finally launched a charge like a little.
This distance is very close to the first trench of Xu Yang's squadron, only more than 40 meters.
The Japanese who were shouting and screaming bravely climbed the mountain, and the firepower was also established behind the scenes of Donkey Mountain. More than ten machine guns spit out flames to clear the fire points that appeared on the way forward of the Japanese on the hillside.
Finally, he entered the familiar offensive and defensive battle. The Japanese army, who was extremely annoyed by the joke, held their anger and rushed towards him wildly.
"Open fire!"
"Open fire!"
The commander of the first trench issued an order at the same time as Xu Yang, which made the gunshot sound loudly.
At close range, the power of the submachine gun was fully demonstrated. As many as 50 submachine guns fired at the same time, and the projectiles were poured on the Japanese army like raindrops. The Japanese army rushing in front fell down tremblingly. In just over a dozen seconds, the first line of Japanese soldiers collapsed, and more than 30 corpses were placed in front of the position.
The Japanese army, who were strictly ordered to retreat, continued to attack, although the captain no longer had any hope. Such firepower had never been seen in his life, and dozens of machine guns were fired together, and even thousands of troops could not escape without losing their body, let alone charging. The Anti-Japanese Allied Forces were so cunning that they always hid their strength. When they understood this, the squadron leader had already shot several bullets and breathed weakly.
The Japanese's cover firepower found the target and no longer blindly fired. After a slight adjustment, dozens of light and heavy machine guns began to shoot from far and near, throwing grenades and hitting the Anti-Japanese United Nations positions.
After one round, the firepower of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces was suppressed. The second line of the Japanese lying on the ground squirmed up, squirming and slugging, and began to move again in groups of three or three. The Japanese counterattack firepower was very strong, and the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces were forced to stop shooting and hide in the trenches.
Shendao Guizhi showed a smile on his face, thinking: No matter how cunning the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces are, the final battle results are determined by the power balance. The dozens of machine guns I deployed at the forefront will eventually gain an overwhelming advantage. As long as the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces dares to expose their firepower points, I will be sure to kill them one by one.
Wang Junxian, the captain of the First Team of the Anti-Japanese United Nations, leaned against the trench wall, raised his ears to listen to the Japanese movement, and was busy with work in his hands.
The grenades had been unscrewed, and the fuse extended outside the shank. Most of the soldiers squatted in the trenches, holding guns in their left hand and grenades in their right hand to get close to their faces, biting the pull ring with their mouths, waiting for a command.
The observer braved the Japanese bomb rain and shrapnel of grenades to observe the enemy's movements with a simple periscope.
"Please note." Wang Junxian didn't care whether the Japanese who were close to him could understand it, and shouted loudly to the left and right: "As soon as the Japanese machine gun stopped, the horse stood up and threw the bullets. Be careful not to throw it far, it would be about 10 meters."
A soldier was puzzled and asked the battle next to him quietly, "How did you know that the gunshots of the Japanese stopped? I can't hear it even if I'm so far?"
