Changyong put away the letter, walked out of the tent angrily, and asked sternly: "What's going on?"
Adjutant Bei Dao immediately came up to meet them, paused and replied: "Your Majesty Colonel, a group of Chinese cavalry just tried to sneak attack the imperial army's camp, but were pushed back by the imperial army's machine gun fire."
"Chinese cavalry? Sneak attack?" Chang Yong said angrily, "Baga, this is just harassment."
After a pause, Chang Yong ordered his adjutant Bei Dao: "Order, if the Chinese army does not come within fifty meters of the position, no shooting is allowed." Chang Yong still has some brains. He knows very well that if there is the slightest sign of trouble, he will use machine guns.
If they shoot, the ammunition reserves they carry will not be able to sustain them for long.
"Hai." Adjutant Bei Dao paused and turned around.
Changyong groaned and went back to the tent to read the letter.
However, less than a minute after he sat down, there was a loud bang outside, and then there was a burst of gunfire. Chang Yong was so angry that his face turned green for a moment.
He walked out of the tent angrily, but Adjutant Bei Dao hadn't returned yet.
Chang Yong did not wait, and directly led a few guards to the forward position.
"What happened just now?" Chang Yong asked angrily to the infantry squad leader who came forward to greet him.
The infantry squad leader paused and replied: "Your Excellency, Colonel, just now the Chinese artillery shelled our defensive position, causing two people to be broken into pieces and three people to be seriously injured."
"Nani? Chinese artillery?" Chang Yong was shocked when he heard this.
This was somewhat beyond Chang Yong's expectation. The Eighth Route Army actually had artillery?
Just when Chang Yong was secretly surprised, a faint sound of wind suddenly sounded above his head. When Chang Yong looked up, he could see a dark object falling from the sky through the cold moonlight.
Behind the object, fire was still shooting out. In the next moment, the object fell on the Japanese army's position.
"Baga, it's a cluster grenade!" Although Chang Yong didn't see it clearly, he still guessed it based on experience, and immediately roared at the top of his lungs, "Lie down, everyone, lie down, quickly..."
Before the last word was shouted out, the cluster grenade exploded with a loud bang.
Although the quality of the grenades produced in Yan'an was not very good, they could not withstand the large number of them. Six or seven grenades were bundled together and detonated at the same time. The sound of the explosion alone was very scary. This loud noise almost destroyed everyone within a hundred meters.
The Japanese's eardrums were all shattered, and Chang Yong only felt a buzzing in his head, and even his consciousness stopped.
After a long while, Chang Yong finally came to his senses and turned around to observe the explosion point, only to find that a huge crater had been blasted there. The scorched earth was still smoking outward, and he was lying on the edge of the crater.
There were two mutilated corpses of Japanese soldiers, and two people lay groaning sadly not far away.
"Baga Yalu!" Seeing this scene, he was so brave that his teeth were broken.
However, Chang Yong has figured it out. If the Chinese continue to throw cluster grenades like this, not only will they not be able to rest well, but they will also cause a large number of casualties. After all, these are cluster grenades, not fireworks explosions. Throwing them into a crowd will kill people!
It seems that we must find a way to drive away the Chinese outside.
At that moment, Chang Yong called the infantry team leader who was on duty over and ordered: "Ota-kun, you lead an infantry team to attack in the direction where the Chinese people were just now. Remember, don't go too far and don't exceed the range of the heavy machine gun, otherwise
In all likelihood, you will be ambushed by the Chinese army, do you understand?"
"Hai." Da Tian nodded heavily.
…
Five hundred meters away from the Japanese camp, there is a small dirt bag.
Behind the small bag of dirt, Bart was leading a platoon of cavalry to operate a "simplified version" of a trebuchet.
The main body of this simple version of the trebuchet is a metasequoia. The head, tail, branches and leaves of a metasequoia that is more than ten meters long are removed, and then erected on a hill. Then the metasequoia is bent by war horses and fixed with ropes.
Then tie a bundle of grenades on the bent tip, and then cut off the fixed rope. In this way, the metasequoia tree suddenly bounces upward and throws the entire bundle of grenades far away, five hundred meters away.
Go to the Japanese camp.
Just now, Bart and the others had successfully launched a rocket.
"Hurry up!" Bart motioned to the two soldiers to pull the war horse to bend the metasequoia tree, while holding a hemp rope and preparing to fix the bent metasequoia tree to the wooden stakes that had been driven into the ground again, but at this moment, hiding behind
A soldier on guard duty suddenly shouted, "Company commander, a group of Japanese soldiers have come out! They are coming towards us."
"Really?" Bart was not surprised but overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately rushed up to the bun in three steps at a time.
When they reached the top of the earthbag, Bart swooped down and lay down behind the earthbag. Then he raised his binoculars and saw that more than a dozen Japanese soldiers were carrying 38 big covers and rushing toward them.
After understanding this scene, Bart's lips immediately turned into a sinister smile. Are you finally here? I was afraid you wouldn't come.
At that moment, Bart asked the cavalrymen in that platoon to stop operating the simple trebuchets and start an emergency assembly.
After a while, a platoon of more than 20 cavalrymen completed their assembly. Then Bart led the platoon, threw away the simple trebuchet and began to retreat. After retreating about two hundred meters, the attacking Japanese arrived at the small area just now.
Then the two sides started shooting at each other from a distance of a hundred meters, and the ping-ping-pong game was very lively.
But in fact, since it was night, the shooting rates of both sides were very low.
The heavy machine guns in the Japanese camp want to support, but due to the angle, they are unable to provide fire support. This is because every time the attacking Japanese infantry group changes positions, the Chinese on the opposite side will also change positions, causing the positions of both sides to be incompatible with the Japanese behind them.
The camp was always kept in a straight line, making it impossible for the Japanese heavy machine guns to fire.
Although the ballistic trajectory of the Japanese mountain artillery is not blocked, there is no way to measure the range at night. If the gun is fired rashly, not to mention the low hit rate, it may accidentally injure one's own people, so the Japanese on the position can only stare. Fortunately, the attacking infantry group has a total of
It carried two light machine guns with relatively strong firepower, which effectively suppressed the Chinese cavalry on the opposite side.
However, the Japs did not know that Bart and the others were only responsible for containment. Just as the Japs were fighting with them, another cavalry platoon had quietly approached within a thousand meters under the cover of night and launched a charge.
The horses' hooves had been wrapped in cotton cloth, and bits had been put on the horses' mouths, so the charge of more than 20 horses was silent, and no sound could be heard at least a hundred meters away.
After a while, a Japanese soldier accidentally turned around and saw a dark shadow approaching like a ghost.
"Baga, there is a cavalry behind us!" The Japanese soldier immediately shouted in horror.
However, it was discovered at this time that it was already too late, because the distance between the two sides was less than a hundred meters. For the cavalry sprinting at extremely high speed, the distance of one hundred meters was more than three seconds, which was how long it took for the Japanese infantry group to attack.
As soon as they turned around, the Chinese cavalry had already charged in front of them.
Immediately afterwards, there was a bloody killing.
Rustling, the crunching sound of sharp blades cutting flesh was endless. Under the night sky, the color of blood could not be discerned, only streams of black liquid were scattered. In less than a second, the battle was over, and the Chinese cavalry disappeared like ghosts.
, out of the fifteen Japanese who attacked, thirteen fell down, and the remaining two fled back in panic.
All this happened so fast that the Japanese machine gunners who stayed in the camp could not react at all, and they could not even talk about providing fire support.
After a while, the two Japanese soldiers who were lucky enough to save their lives fled back to the camp.
Among these two devils, one of them was Captain Da Tian.
"Your Excellency, Colonel, Sir!" Captain Datian stumbled to Chang Yong and said sadly, "The Chinese are too cunning. The Chinese are very cunning. They deliberately used an army to stay in the front to fight with us, and then sent
Another cavalry attacked us quietly from behind, leaving us unprepared..."
Before Captain Datian could finish speaking, he was rudely interrupted by Chang Yong.
"Baga Yalu!" Changyong roared angrily, "Why don't you die?"
Captain Ota's voice suddenly stopped, and then he walked to one side with a dull expression, knelt down on the ground and then unbuttoned his shirt, exposing his abdomen, then pulled out his saber and pointed it at his lower abdomen, but before cutting the knife,
He still took a long look, expecting Changyong to look away, but unfortunately Changyong just looked away.
Captain Ota clenched the saber with both hands and pulled it back hard. With a pop, the sharp saber easily cut through the flesh and pierced the entire abdomen. The tip of the knife penetrated his back. In pain, Captain Ota
He immediately started screaming, but he didn't scream twice before he fell to the ground and died.
Although Captain Ota committed seppuku and committed suicide, the Japs' plight did not ease.
Because less than two minutes after Captain Ota committed seppuku, another bundle of cluster grenades was brought into the camp, and this time it was even worse. This bundle of cluster grenades was thrown directly onto a tent, exploded in the air, and he slept in the big tent.
The eight Japanese soldiers were instantly shot into pieces by the debris generated by the explosion.
Changyong was really at his wits end now.
If we don't send troops to expel them, tonight will definitely be very difficult.
You can send troops to expel them. How many troops do you send? If you send fewer troops, the infantry group that just attacked is an example. But if you send a large force, how big a force is enough? Send an infantry brigade? Let’s not talk about the effectiveness of cannons to kill mosquitoes.
Will it be effective? Even if it is effective, the Chinese cavalry can still come back after leaving. Every time the Chinese come, the Japanese army sends an infantry brigade to drive them away? Do you still need to rest? One or two nights is no problem, three days and five days
And after that?
Changyong was really going crazy, he finally realized the power of the sparrow war.
