Chapter 1085: Don’t pick up sesame seeds and throw away watermelon
On the battlefield where the Japanese troops were ambushed at the rear.
Captain Huang was nervous and looking forward to it, and he was also very busy.
While commanding the troops to outflank and close the net, he wanted the little Japanese in the pocket formation to launch a surprise attack, while observing the movements of the main force of the Japanese army.
As soon as they show signs of returning reinforcements, immediately order the troops to withdraw from the battlefield.
Little did he know that the Japanese commander was even more nervous and worried than him.
"Captain...the main force of the Japs has escaped. The strong men immediately cut off their wrists and abandoned the rear troops!" The scout rushed all the way to Captain Huang and reported excitedly.
"Well done, then we can quickly eliminate the little Japs in the pocket array!" Commander Huang's face immediately lit up with joy, and then he raised his binoculars to look at the battlefield.
The Japanese rear force is a reinforced squadron, with a heavy machine gun squad and a mortar squad under its command.
Commander Huang is very aware of the huge threat these heavy weapons may bring to the ambush troops.
Therefore, at the beginning of the ambush battle, most of the firepower was concentrated on the artillery squad and the heavy machine gun squad.
The effect is very good.
Dozens of gunners in the mortar squad were almost wiped out and lost their combat effectiveness.
The heavy machine gun squad also suffered heavy losses in the battle, with only a few machine gunners and one heavy machine gun left to continue fighting.
At this moment, there were less than a hundred Japs left on the battlefield, all gathered around the heavy machine guns, preparing to rely on the heavy machine guns and the remaining light machine guns and grenade launchers to hold on to the end.
Commander Huang's ultimate goal is not only to eliminate the Japanese rear troops, but also to do it quickly before he has a chance to take advantage of the main Japanese army.
He gritted his teeth and ordered: "Bring me the three mortars from the fire company and kill the remaining heavy machine gun and light machine gun fire points of the little devil."
"Heavy machine gun cover, prepare to launch a general attack..."
The political commissar glanced at the regimental leader in surprise.
The independent regiment's heavy equipment is limited, and the mortars equipped by the fire company have always been regarded as treasures by the regiment commander.
In addition, there were not many artillery shells, so every time the mortar was sent into battle, it was very difficult to let go of one more artillery shell.
It was like a different person today. He set up a mortar in front of a heavy machine gun. It was really abnormal.
I couldn't help but ask: "Captain..."
"You don't have a fever, do you?"
"The enemy only has a heavy machine gun. Using mortars would be overkill."
Captain Huang shook his head: "Quick victory..."
"It would be too slow without artillery and the casualties would be high. By the time we finish the battle, the main force of the Japs who had just broken off their arms would have long been gone."
"I don't want to throw away a whole watermelon for a sesame seed."
"Besides, the Japanese troops in the rear are equipped with three mortars. One gun with thirty rounds of shells is only ninety rounds of shells."
"Quickly destroy the Japanese troops in the rear. These mortars and artillery shells will all belong to us. The troops will not suffer any loss at all, and they can earn dozens more shells."
Having said this, Captain Huang showed a sly smile on his face.
"Boom boom boom..."
The three shells quickly hit the remnants of the Japanese army. Although they did not hit the Japanese heavy machine gun position, they killed and injured nearly ten young Japanese soldiers.
Captain Huang calmly stared at the battlefield, waiting for the second round of artillery shells from the fire company.
"Boom boom boom..."
The violent explosion soon reached Commander Huang's ears. After correction, the two shells in this round of artillery fire hit both sides of the heavy machine gun. The splashing fire simultaneously enveloped the Japanese heavy machine gun position, and the machine gunner was also in the explosion.
Was blown away.
The opportunity Captain Huang had been waiting for has arrived.
After a while, he got up from the ground, raised the box cannon in his hand, and rushed towards the Japanese army. At the same time, he ordered: "Blow the charge horn and start the general attack. Quickly eliminate the remaining little Japs. Kill them all with me..."
The encirclement and annihilation battle ended very quickly.
From the moment Commander Huang decided to use mortars, it was destined that the Japanese rear troops would have no chance of escaping.
Three rounds of nine artillery shells killed more than 20 Japs and destroyed the only remaining heavy machine gun and three light machine guns of the Japanese army.
The Independent Regiment used rifles and machine guns to kill twenty or thirty Japanese soldiers during the attack.
The remaining fifty or sixty Japs were directly submerged in the sea of people composed of the independent regiment's attacking troops. They did not make any waves, and they only lasted less than three minutes before being wiped out.
"Captain..." A battalion commander ran to Captain Huang with a smile on his face, carrying the crooked handle he had just captured.
"we won……"
"In a strengthened squadron, there were more than 200 little Japs. None of them slipped through the net. We killed them all. We captured three mortars, 150 rounds of artillery shells, two heavy machine guns, six boxes of 6,000 rounds of bullets, and four light machine guns.
, three grenade launchers, 126 rifles, and more than 10,000 rounds of rifle machine gun bullets..."
"We ourselves sacrificed 58 comrades and seriously injured 10 people..."
Captain Huang was very satisfied with the result, but he did not remain happy for long before he regained his composure. He stared at the first battalion commander and gave a serious order: "All the lightly wounded will be left behind to take care of the seriously wounded."
"Others replenished ammunition on the spot. The soldiers equipped with 79-caliber rifles all changed into 38-caliber rifles. Each of them carried 60 rounds of ammunition, three hand grenades and hand grenades."
"Bring all the captured mortars, heavy machine guns, light machine guns, grenade launchers, and supporting ammunition, and follow me on a quick march to chase down the Japanese retreating troops."
"There are local troops and ordinary people ahead of us to help us intercept the little devils. They can't run far."
"Try to pull out the tiger's teeth and eat one of their squadrons."
Hearing this, a battalion commander suddenly interrupted: "My dear..."
"Commander, political commissar, if you follow this strategy, when the Japanese invaders pass through our defense area, the independent regiment will be able to fight at least five surprise battles."
"If we kill a strengthened squadron in one battle, plus the kidnappers killed by local troops using guerrilla warfare and traps, the number of kidnappers who will die at the hands of our independent regiment will be more than 1,500."
Captain Huang answered confidently: "It's not impossible..."
"But we need to work closely with local troops to achieve this, and we must fully unleash the power of the people's war and completely plunge the Japanese army into the quagmire of the people's war. Only then will we have enough opportunity and time to raid them."
"Otherwise, no matter how big a piece of fat is placed in front of us, we won't be able to eat it."
"The troops will set off as soon as they are assembled. Time does not wait for me..."
"Where's the communications class? Send a few people immediately to notify the fourth, fifth, and sixth companies..."
"Since the Japanese reinforcements did not pass by them and it was impossible to detour to them in order to meet the deadline, all the original combat missions assigned to them by the regiment headquarters were cancelled."
"The three main companies immediately assembled and marched to the Beishan area to lie in wait."
"Our troops are limited, and we can only kill one reinforced squadron kid in one raid."
"With one more battalion, plus the light and heavy machine guns and mortars we just captured, we can ambush half the Japanese brigade in one raid."
"The correspondent will set off immediately, and the assembled troops will immediately follow me to hunt down the main force of the Japs..."
