"Chief of Staff, I didn't expect that our Commander Wang would also ask for reinforcements. Chief of Staff, what do you think?" Liu Hua, after reading the telegram, looked at the Chief of Staff in front of him with a smile and said...
After listening to Liu Hua's words, the Chief of Staff also smiled, "Yes, Commander, but the Third Regiment Commander fought really hard. After all, he was fighting with two battalions of troops against a large group of Japanese soldiers with heavy weapons. He was able to persist
It's not easy now. We have seized so much ammunition this time. I think we will just transport a batch there. The materials and ammunition on the road are being transferred now, and we still need at least four hours!" Staff Officer
Chang said.
"Haha, Chief of Staff, don't think about this batch of ammunition. I keep this batch of ammunition for useful purposes. However, Chief of Staff, you haven't noticed that so far, we still have two troops that have not been used!" Liu Hua
He reminded with a smile.
"Commander, you mean...that's right, Commander, if you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten that the cavalry battalion has been assembled at the mountain pass, and a squadron of the Special Forces Brigade has also been assembled... Commander, I
Now go give the order." After saying that, Liu Hua hurriedly walked towards the radio station without waiting for Liu Hua's reaction.
Soon an order from the headquarters was handed into the hands of the two commanders, "Order, the cavalry battalion conducts a covert attack on the Japanese reinforcements in Shexian County, and the First Squadron of the Special Forces Brigade will immediately conduct a covert attack on the artillery positions of the Japanese reinforcements..."
After receiving the order, the two troops quickly headed for their destination. Since this mission was the first mission since the establishment of the special brigade, Liu Xiaogang, the captain of the special brigade, was particularly concerned about ensuring the success of this mission.
In order to proceed, Liu Xiaogang personally came to the No. 1 Squadron to take command.
Liu Xiaogang took all the troops of a squadron and slowly moved towards the Japanese artillery position. Since the troops had been reorganized in Zhangjiazhuang, a squadron was now divided into three squads, and each squad was divided into three action groups.
Each action group has one heavy fireman, two riflemen, one warrior who is good at close combat, and one sniper, plus a team leader, a total of six warriors, each equipped with a short gun. Each action
The two formed a sharp triangle formation and slowly moved towards the Japanese artillery position...
With the help of the cover of the mountains, the First Squadron slowly approached the place less than 50 meters away from the Japanese artillery position. At this time, the composition of the Japanese position could be clearly seen. A total of six mountain artillery were neatly lined up on the position, and in
There are also 8 mortars standing on one side of the mountain cannon. All the shells are scattered and piled behind the cannon, and are constantly carried forward by the soldiers. Around the Japanese artillery position, shells fall from time to time, kicking up a piece of soil.
Needless to say, this must be the artillery fire suppressed by our own mountain artillery company against the Japanese artillery...
"Report to Captain Liu, after investigation, the Japanese left half a squad of infantry to protect the artillery position, including three light machine guns, and 36 combatants to attack. All the remaining personnel are artillery, and most of them are not equipped with infantry weapons.
There were more than 120 people in total..."
The captain of the No. 1 Squadron reported the details of the reconnaissance to the captain Liu Xiaogang next to him. "Well, there are still so many artillery shells. It would be a pity to explode them. I want to seize these cannons. Do you see if it is possible?" Liu Xiaogang looked at it.
He asked the squadron leader next to him.
"Captain, the enemy's strength is 3:1. Although the enemy has many troops, there are only a few dozen infantrymen with combat effectiveness. As long as the main force of the Japs does not reinforce them, we can completely eliminate these more than 100 infantrymen in a very short time.
"Japanese enemy." The squadron leader replied confidently.
"Okay, after the battle starts, all the snipers must shoot down the Japanese light machine guns when the first shot is fired, and then snipe all the dozens of Japanese infantrymen in the first time, all the soldiers in the squadron.
The light machine guns obey my orders. After the enemy's light machine guns are knocked out, they all fire. Kill and injure the enemy's artillery personnel as much as possible. The rifleman supplements the fire gap of the light machine gun and kills the missed enemy. Remember not to tangle with the enemy too much.
, If you can use a gun, use a gun, I don’t want a living Japanese..." After several years of experience, Liu Xiaogang has become more and more like an outstanding special operations commander.
At this moment, the cavalry battalion had quietly moved behind the Japanese brigade. The battalion commander Wang Hu and his guards quietly climbed to the top of the mountain to observe the troop deployment of the Japanese brigade. It turned out that the Japanese brigade captain wanted to cover himself
In the continuous charge of people, the captain of the brigade moved almost all the heavy machine guns to the front line to maintain the continuity of front-line firepower. However, this resulted in a shortage of heavy weapons at the brigade headquarters. You must know that there was only one heavy machine gun left behind the entire unit.
alert
Faced with such a good opportunity, Wang Hu, the commander of the cavalry battalion, would certainly not let it go. Wang Hu and Liu Xiaogang quickly got in touch. Together, they sent a telegram to Commander Wang Nanhu on the defensive position.
, hoping that the artillery company and all the infantry could provide certain cooperation. Less than a minute after the telegram was sent, Commander Wang’s reply arrived.
The order was very simple. The artillery company would bombard the enemy's artillery positions and group headquarters in five minutes. The infantry would launch a counterattack at any time based on the enemy's situation to gain a chance to completely repel the Japanese attack.
After receiving the telegram, the cavalry battalion and the No. 1 Special Forces Squadron immediately prepared for battle. The soldiers loaded their machine guns and rifles. The cavalrymen all sat on their horses, wiping their sabers and loading a bullet into the horse rifle.
.
Five minutes passed quickly. "Woo..." The roar of artillery shells across the sky reached the ears of the soldiers. In an instant, violent explosions sounded from the Japanese artillery position and the brigade headquarters.
Under the cover of the explosion, the nine snipers seized this favorable opportunity and fired the bullets from their rifles together. Under the cover of the explosion of artillery shells, the Japanese did not realize that nine of their own soldiers had fallen to the enemy.
Under the gun, he still continued to do his job nervously, patrolling back and forth.
As the second round of shells exploded, the soldiers fired nine bullets again. At this time, a Japanese finally noticed the abnormality behind him. He just picked up the rifle behind him and prepared to load the weapon, but it was already too late.
When the remaining infantrymen were about to fire warning shots, the snipers had already loaded their rifles in the shortest possible time.
"Bang bang..." A sparse gunshot sounded. Before the infantrymen who had just picked up their rifles could react, they fell to the guns of the soldiers unwillingly. At this time, the gunshots had completely alarmed the soldiers.
Liu Xiaogang saw the soldiers on the Japanese artillery position. Looking at the Japanese artillerymen who were looking for weapons to fight back, Liu Xiaogang no longer needed to hide himself.
"Hit" Liu Xiaogang shouted loudly to the soldiers around him. In an instant, nine soldiers with crooked light machine guns suddenly stood up in the grass behind the Japanese artillery position. The nine light machine guns spit out bullets happily, and
The riflemen and snipers knelt on one leg, looking for any enemy soldiers who might threaten the machine gunners on the battlefield, and fired one by one.
This sneak attack led by the No. 1 Squadron was won without any suspense. Facing the No. 1 Squadron, which was armed to the teeth and well-equipped, the Japs of more than a hundred people completely became the targets of massacre... After the soldiers sacrificed so much
After suffering minor injuries, the artillery position no longer saw a living Japanese soldier. In time, with only one breath left, the soldiers would give them a heart-warming blow with bayonets.
"Immediately seize the favorable terrain, build fortifications, and prevent the enemy from counterattack." Seeing the soldiers resolve the battle neatly, the captain Liu Xiaogang nodded, very satisfied with the performance of his soldiers. However, he thought that the Japanese still had another brigade of troops.
, you may want to counterattack from the artillery position at any time, react immediately, protect the artillery position, and place bombs on the artillery position to meet unexpected needs.
Just when the sneak attack of the first squadron started, the cavalry battalion also launched an attack. Under the cover of the explosion of artillery shells, the Japanese did not seem to notice the cavalry battalion getting closer and closer behind them. However, as the horse speed increased,
It came faster and faster, and the sound of horse hooves became louder and louder, gradually evolving into a roar like thunder. Finally, this roar attracted the attention of the Japanese.
The Japanese who noticed that the ground was shaking all looked behind the sound. They didn't know it, but they were startled. They saw a black line in the distance slowly trying to get closer. Without even thinking about it, they knew it was a cavalry, and
There were at least several hundred cavalrymen. Gradually some of the Japanese soldiers showed timid looks.
"Baga, they are cavalry. How can the Chinese army have cavalry? Quickly, quickly organize fortifications to block the Eighth Route Army's cavalry." The hands of the Japanese captain holding the telescope began to tremble with the constant shaking of the ground.
As a mid-level officer in the empire, the captain is very knowledgeable about cavalry. Especially in field battles, for infantry without heavy weapons, cavalry is simply the nemesis of infantry. Facing cavalry, infantry prepares lambs to be slaughtered.
However, as the captain of the elite imperial army, although he was panicking, he did not show it and remained calm and unaware of the defenses.
But when the captain saw the only heavy machine gun in the group headquarters, he immediately regretted why he didn't leave a few more heavy machine guns for defense? "Quick, quick, order the first squadron on the front line and the heavy machine gun squad to immediately
Return for reinforcements." The captain ordered anxiously, and a trace of cold sweat began to appear on his forehead.
The Japs' strategy of mobilizing troops was correct, but the cavalry battalion commander Wang Hu did not give the Japs much time. Just when the Japanese troops at the Japs' brigade began to gather to build fortifications, the cavalry battalion's speed had reached its maximum.
It’s fast, and the distance is less than 1,000 meters.
