The two Japanese reinforcements, about 500 meters apart, were simply called Team A and Team B by Hu Yang. The one in front of them who was about to be shot was called Team B, and the one farther north was called Team A.
The place where Populus euphratica and the others were hiding was a sparse forest. All the soldiers lay down on the south side of the forest to avoid the firepower of the Japanese support troops who responded.
The distance here from the Japanese support team B, which is about to be attacked, is about 200 meters, and the distance from the rescue team A is about 500 meters. Seeing that it was almost time, Hu Yang patted the helmet of the machine gunner next to him.
"Fire..."
Then he raised his ph90 in his hand. Under the night, the long tongue of flames was particularly conspicuous.
Although the automatic block was set, Hu Yang still stared at the Japanese cavalry through the red dot sight, trying his best to prevent his bullets from emptying.
The HMG42 machine gun of the machine gunner next to him sprayed out a long muzzle flame, which was particularly eye-catching in the night. There seemed to be countless bullets, raining down on the tanks and cavalry of the B support team who were rushing forward.
The tracer egg that fell on the tank was controlled by invisible magic hands, drawing a beautiful arc and flying away in the dark night. The bullets that penetrated the flesh caused the wails of the war horses and the screams of the soldiers.
The Type 38 cavalry in the hands of the Japanese reinforcements who were stunned were unable to shoot at their attackers.
Although there were many of them, the difference between manual weapons and automatic weapons played a decisive role at this time. After all, the HMG42 machine gun has a rate of fire of one thousand rounds per minute, which is much faster than the rate of fire of ordinary machine guns.
To the north of the B support team, the A support team in front discovered the attack. They immediately stopped the troops and turned the direction of the tank muzzle. At the same time, the bullets had swept across the plain and flew to the vicinity of the shooting reconnaissance company.
.
But in terms of distance, Populus euphratica's reconnaissance company is three hundred meters away from the attacking troops, and the armor support troops in the chord position are more than five hundred meters away. Although there are lighting eggs, the shooting hit rate is greatly reduced.
The cavalrymen of Support Team B, who were suddenly attacked, panicked. In the blink of an eye, there were already Japanese soldiers lying on their horse corpses, and then they began to fire back at the reconnaissance company with their lances.
However, at this time, more than a dozen grenades thrown silently with slings exploded among the tanks and cavalry that were moving dozens of meters away, and screams rang out...
The machine gunner who acted as a timer had already fired through a hundred rounds of ammunition in less than half a minute.
This is an ammunition box made of fiberglass. The spare ammunition chain is kept in a paper bag, and a bullet can be connected to the tail of another ammunition chain at any time. This 100-round rectangular ammunition box is not like the one used by the German army that is arranged in
The ammunition drum on the side will cause the gun body to tilt due to the weight of the ammunition.
The ammunition box of the HMG42 machine gun was placed directly under the gun body. One hundred rounds of ammunition were fired at an extremely fast speed. According to Hu Yang's instructions in advance, he packed up the machine gun and roared.
"Walk"
"Retreat...retreat..."
Amid the roars of Populus euphratica and the platoon leaders, the soldiers of the reconnaissance company got up from the ground. The bullets flying around made a "chirp" sound as they flew past their bent figures.
But what made Hu Yang a little desperate was that he saw casualties.
Although casualties were almost unavoidable when luring the enemy, especially on this flat plain. He was full of self-blame for the casualties of his comrades.
"The squad leader carries the wounded and evacuates, evacuates quickly..."
With the illumination eggs fired into the sky by the Japanese, the soldiers of the reconnaissance company began to retreat as they had done during training.
Different from the sharp-angle formation during the attack, when retreating, they basically lined up three meters apart.
Retreating is also done in order, one person at a time. Everyone's actions are almost the same. Before retreating, they will tap the shoulders of their teammates around them to remind the next one that it is their turn to leave.
The advantage of this is that it can maintain uninterrupted firepower on the position. Moreover, such an orderly evacuation will also prevent the soldiers from being overly panicked during the evacuation.
As those who were evacuating in front took big steps with the help of the extremely fast speed of the ostrich boots, they were already a hundred meters away in a blink of an eye. Then there was another firepower close to the ground, and they were already hiding behind the tanks and armored vehicles and were shooting at them.
On the Japanese army.
As the firepower at the transferred temporary defense line increased, the firepower of the two Japanese reinforcements was attracted and moved similarly.
The last soldier of Hu Yang's reconnaissance company who stood firm ended his shooting and quickly ran towards the back. At this moment, he was the safest one during the retreat. All the firepower was attracted by the re-established fire line, and there was no trace of bullets flying around him.
.
As Hu Yang followed the instruction step by step and moved away from the two Japanese reinforcements A and B, the two Japanese reinforcements A and B who did not leave stopped in the field and seemed to be discussing countermeasures.
This reaction made Hu Yang a little strange. He knew clearly that ordinary Japanese troops did not have walkie-talkies. During the intense battle, the radio's impressive communication efficiency made it impossible for the two Japanese reinforcements to change their deployment.
Then there are only two possibilities. The two supporting armies use the radio communication equipment on the tanks to communicate with the rear. Or the cavalry unit responsible for assisting has a coordinated walkie-talkie.
While he was observing, Japanese support troops A and B fired illumination eggs in the direction where Populus euphratica and the others last disappeared. Unfortunately, because they did not understand the performance of the ostrich boots, they got closer and found nothing.
After a while, Hu Yang was surprised to find that from the camp where the reinforcements had just been sent, another mixed force of armor and cavalry drove out.
The biggest difference is that this force not only contains four tanks and two armored vehicles, but also seems to have a large group of infantry.
And their marching direction was not towards the place where the commander and the others were ambush, but towards the direction where Hu Yang and the others were hiding.
Good guy, it seems that the commander's repeated night raids really hurt the Japanese. Otherwise, why would there be such a big battle against the night raids on the paratrooper school?
So what should we do now?
While Hu Yang was still thinking about it, he was surprised to find that the two Japanese reinforcements, A and B, had converged and were running towards the position in front where gunshots were still ringing loudly.
It seems that cutting off the other party's communication is the most important priority. Next time I have the opportunity to lead a team to attack, I must not miss this important thing.
"You take three platoons back, and inform the commander that I will lead a platoon of reinforcements behind to hold them back. After the two reinforcements in front are defeated, I will lead this one."
As the order was conveyed to the deputy company commander, Hu Yang suddenly had another feeling.
That means that in the future, I will definitely be able to be used as an individual under the command of the commander. The only worry is that if I take away a platoon, what if the commander's ambush strength is not enough?
In fact, Hu Yang thought too much about this matter. After all, Zhang Sixing had a lot of troops around him. Although most of the people in the logistics battalion were carrying poles, their gasoline barrel cannons were really no joke.
