Eight hundred and fifty seventh chapter confrontation
Wang Huzi and others built deep positions along the highway, and he was at the front with a sharp knife.
The deputy battalion commander, Blacksmith, was like a bull at the moment, sticking his butt out and directing the 2nd and 3rd companies to dig a second blocking position 500 meters away.
"There is a Chinese army!"
This time Wang Huzi and the others did not plan an ambush. It was not because they did not want to attack, but because the Japanese already knew that a small team had been destroyed, so they increased their vigilance.
Moreover, several Japanese three-wheeled motorcycles were filled with vanguard soldiers who were using the accelerator to clear the way ahead. It was very difficult to deceive the Japanese vanguard soldiers into setting up an ambush.
Therefore, Wang Huzi worked hard and led his troops to build a blocking position on the low hills next to the highway, preparing to block the attack step by step to buy time for the evacuation of Qinghe Town.
Wang Huzi and the others were blatantly blocking the way the Japs must pass. The Japs' sharp soldiers had venomous eyes, so they braked and stopped all the way to warn the convoy behind them.
"Damn, it's still a little bit worse."
Captain Daozi of Jiandao Company looked past the scale and sight of the rifle, preparing to give the Japanese soldiers a showdown. Unexpectedly, outside the shooting range, the Japanese's three wheels braked, which made him itchy with anger.
Wang Huzi also lay down in the proposed trench and observed the little Japanese. Seeing the little Japanese's cars all coming to a stop with the harsh sound of brakes, he secretly cursed the little Japanese for being naughty.
Under the shouts of squadron leader Miyasaka, the Japanese jumped out of the car with quick movements. They did not dare to stay on the unobstructed road and ran to the wild fields beside the road to lie down.
Squadron leader Miyasaka also hid behind a mound of soil under the cover of several guards. He took out Cao's long mirror to observe and found a simple blocking position in front of him.
Although the position is very simple, it actually blocks the highway. If their convoy wants to pass by the highway, this position must be removed.
The brothers of the guerrillas were well hidden. In Miyazaka's Cao Changjing, he could only see a blue sky and white sun flag fluttering in the wind, and nothing else could be seen.
Miyasaka observed for a while, and the scouts who had been sent out also came back to report that there was no ambush nearby, only the blocking position in front. Judging from the size of the position, there were not many people in the ** team.
"Your fire reconnaissance!" Squadron Leader Miyasaka gave an order to a squad leader.
Soon, more than fifty little Japs, led by the squad leader, got up from the ground, opened up the skirmish line, and pushed towards Wang Huzi's blocking position.
"Tell the cannon company to seal off the Japanese's retreat when the time comes! I'm going to kill you today!"
Seeing more than fifty Japs pulling out three skirmish lines in a wave shape to press forward, Wang Huzi opened the safety of the shell gun, turned his head and shouted towards the back.
Fifty meters behind the position, the machine gun company directly under the battalion was deployed. Two Type 92 infantry cannons had been placed ten meters apart, and a mortar was also calibrating and shooting at Zhu Yuan.
After Yang Ling and the others captured Qinghe Town, they captured quite a lot. The machine gun battery in Wang Huzi's battalion was also reorganized as the heavy fire support for the battalion.
Nowadays, shotguns are replaced by cannons. Although the brothers in the machine gun company are very unfamiliar with the operation, with the artillery, even if they are just fancy and cannot show their strength, the brothers feel a lot more confident.
The brothers in the trenches on the front line were all calm. They loaded the ammunition one after another, adjusted the scale, and put the Japanese into the sight one by one.
"Fight again after following my order. If anyone fires without permission, I will not be merciful!"
The cold wind whistled at me, and Wang Beard's voice rang in the ears of the brothers, which invisibly dispersed the tense atmosphere.
In fact, the guerrilla officers and soldiers have now developed a strict sense of discipline. They don't need Wang Huzi's deliberate reminder, and they know what they are doing.
But Wang Huzi had to remind him that this was just a way for him to relieve the tension of his brothers. After all, hearing the commander's voice at this time was enough to stabilize the morale of the army.
The little devils were like wretched mice, crouching and leaping forward while covering each other alternately. The one in front took a few steps and then half-crouched down to cover the one behind.
Although these little devils were drawn from outside the customs, most of them were actually reservists and reservists. The real elites were fighting on the front lines against China's main force.
However, even if they are the reserve and reserve forces of the Japanese, these little Japanese have undergone rigorous training and should not be underestimated.
Now seeing their skillful tactical movements and coherent cooperation, even the main force of the well-trained Chinese troops cannot compare.
Miyasaka Squadron is a reinforced squadron. In addition to three regular infantry squads and a 19-man squadron headquarters, it is also equipped with an additional artillery squad.
This artillery team pulled two 70mm infantry guns, and now quickly set up a posture on the spot and began to cover the infantry attack.
"Boom!"
Two high-explosive bombs were fired rapidly, and with a harsh whistle, they landed on the guerrillas' blocking position and exploded. Several brothers were knocked away by the shock wave of the explosion.
However, Wang Huzi did not order a counterattack because he was worried about being exposed. His half-baked machine gun battery was no match for the opponent.
Another important reason is that the troops are short of weapons and ammunition, and they are reluctant to blow up the Japanese infantry artillery. If they capture it, they can increase their combat effectiveness.
The conditions for fighting behind enemy lines are very difficult. The guerrilla troops not only lack bullets, but also lack heavy weapons. Sometimes they are surrounded by Japanese soldiers. In order to cover a heavy machine gun breakout, they may even sacrifice many brothers.
"Kill Gai Gai!"
When the Japanese infantry squad leader saw the infantry cannon firing, he jumped up from the ground and roared like a wild beast.
The little devils who were alternately covering each other seemed to have suddenly received a boost of blood. They suddenly accelerated and launched into a fierce charge with roars.
The Japanese grenades and machine gun teams also opened fire one after another, and bullets and artillery shells continued to hit Wang Huzi and the others.
Because it was a temporary and simple position, facing such a fire attack from the Japanese, the brothers retreated their heads into the trenches one after another.
"Machine gun cover! The infantryman saves bullets and aims to hit. Get closer and use grenades to greet!"
While Wang Huzi was speaking, he had already pulled the trigger loudly. The range of the shell gun was not enough, so he just issued an order.
The six light machine guns belonging to the three platoons of the Sharp Knife Company opened fire one after another. Once the machine gun fire was suppressed, the brothers holding rifles were finally able to lift their heads from the trench.
The brothers opened fire one after another, bullets flew randomly, and the machine gun trajectories cut through, beating several Japanese soldiers into bloody gourds.
However, the brothers had just fired a few bullets, and only five or six of the Japs had been knocked down, before the Japs all retreated.
"Move the machine gun position and prepare for artillery defense!"
Wang Huzi had already gained experience in fighting the Japanese. When he saw the Japanese repelling them, he quickly made targeted arrangements.
This probing attack by the Japanese was just to test the firepower of Wang Huzhu and the others. As soon as their machine guns moved, the grenade launchers and infantry cannons smashed them in the head, creating a big crater, allowing the brothers in the machine gun team to retreat.
