Chapter five hundred and twentieth unexpected backhand
While all the soldiers of the new regiment in Gongli Village were suffering and waiting, ten minutes finally passed.
"Commander, the first company has suffered more than half of its casualties, and the ammunition is about to be exhausted. Do you want the second company to come up and replace the first company?" The commander of the first battalion commanding from the front bent over and ran over to report with a solemn expression.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Zhang frowned but before he could speak, the scream of the shells streaking across the sky reached his ears.
"No, it's a bombardment by the Japs. Everyone, please take cover!"
After lying on the ground, Captain Zhang's face changed from solemn to livid, and then he said to himself~
"It's over, the Japanese artillery has been dispatched, we definitely won't be able to get out!"
"Boom, boom, boom..." Then a violent explosion sounded on the battlefield.
"What's going on? Why did the artillery shells fall on the heads of the Japanese? How come they are attacking their own people?" The regiment chief of staff, who was the first to discover that the artillery shells did not hit him, shouted in shock and surprise.
The political commissar was the first to react: "This must be Captain Wang's back-up plan. They captured the Japanese artillery and used the Japanese artillery to blow up the Japanese!"
It wasn't until the second round of artillery shells hit the Japanese positions and exploded, and he saw with his own eyes that the two Japanese machine gun positions were blown up, that Captain Zhang believed what he saw.
He didn't know how Wang Ping did it, how he captured the Japanese artillery positions in such a short time, and how he was able to operate so many artillery pieces to bombard the Japanese positions together.
However, at this moment, Captain Zhang's dissatisfaction and anger towards Wang Ping disappeared all at once, and he was also full of admiration!
"Old Zhang, our chance to break out has come. No matter how many and strong the Japanese and puppet troops are in front of us, they can't withstand so many artillery bombs!" The political commissar's excited cry directly shook Commander Zhang out of shock.
Back to reality.
Then he quickly reacted: "When we break out, we must get to know Captain Wang well!"
"The guard company is here, and as soon as the shelling is over, they will rush into the Japanese position. They have killed so many of our comrades, and today I want to let the Japanese taste the feeling of being massacred!"
"The guard company is equipped with many automatic pistols. Let them use them, and they will definitely be able to kill the Japanese by surprise!"
On the Japanese army position, when the artillery shells hit, all the Japanese and puppet troops thought that the artillery shells would fly over everyone's heads towards the Eighth Route Army in the village. Therefore, no Japanese and puppet soldiers were hiding in the position. A total of nine artillery shells fell down, killing them instantly.
It injured dozens of Japanese and puppet troops who were caught off guard.
But until then, the Japanese who were bombed still did not realize that their artillery squadron had changed hands, and thought that the artillery had fired at the wrong position. So some Japanese raised their rifles and shouted in the direction of the artillery position.
It wasn't until the second round of artillery shells exploded next to them, taking dozens more lives, that the Japanese and puppet troops reacted, and then they all looked for bunkers to hide.
However, they were facing direct-fire artillery, and the shells fell from the sky. No matter how concealed they were, the shells might hit them or explode directly next to them.
The only benefit of concealment is that it reduces the damage caused by artillery shells to them!
The Japanese squadron leader was very unlucky. He escaped the first round of shelling but not the second round.
Although several guards threw him to the ground at the same time, the shells hit him directly, and the powerful explosive force still took his life instantly.
The leaderless Japanese and puppet troops could only hide in every corner of the position under the command of a squad leader, enduring increasingly fierce shelling.
Because the Japanese and puppet troops in other directions around Gongli Village lost contact with the headquarters, they were leaderless and could only fight on their own.
For the artillery bombardment that occurred in the south, they all believed that the artillery squadron was attacking the breakout troops of the Eighth Route Army. In addition, there was no order, so in order to prevent the Eighth Route Army from breaking through from the direction they were defending, they all stood still.
Wang Ping, who was at the artillery position outside the village, was keenly aware of this.
"Speed up the artillery fire. If there is no gun, fire ten rounds. Stop after firing!"
"Captain Yi, lead the second detachment to get behind the Japanese soldiers in the south. As soon as the bombardment stops, they will start attacking. Cover the new regiment and rush out and bring them here. By the way, tell Commander Zhang of the new regiment to bring the weapons that can be used on the position.
Bring out all the ammunition, we are going to do a big deal tonight!"
During the ambush battle in Wuxiang, a special forces team of the special forces was completely wiped out. The fundamental reason was that they did not expect that the Eighth Route Army special forces would suddenly appear.
However, Colonel Matsumoto also found another reason.
During the battle, the special operations team of more than 20 people was divided into five, unable to support each other, giving the Eighth Route Army special forces an excellent opportunity to defeat them one by one.
If the entire special operations team gathers together during the battle, cooperates with each other, and uses the special operations they are good at against the Eighth Route Army special operations team. Even if they are wiped out in the end, they will cause enough casualties to the Eighth Route Army special operations team during the battle.
.
Therefore, Colonel Matsumoto, who learned his lesson, directly gave an order to his subordinates.
"When operating in conjunction with local forces, special forces must form a separate army and cannot be mixed with field forces.
Therefore, despite the fierce fighting in the south of Gongli Village, more than 20 special forces attached to the Japanese Fourth Infantry Brigade were not attacked and were moving towards the attacked headquarters at a very fast speed."
The sound of gunfire first rang out from the direction of the headquarters, and among the gunfire was the familiar sound of submachine gun fire.
The Japanese squad leader immediately thought of the Eighth Route Army special forces.
Then he led people to rush towards the headquarters, hoping to have a showdown with the Eighth Route Army special forces and rescue the headquarters on the way.
As they got closer and closer to the headquarters, the gunshots and explosions coming from the headquarters became clearer and clearer, and the team leader became more certain that it was the Eighth Route Army special forces that attacked the headquarters.
However, when he was still a few hundred meters away from the headquarters, the gunfire slowly stopped.
"Captain, the headquarters has been occupied by the Eighth Route Army!" a squad leader next to him reminded as he rushed.
"I know, but it is the Eighth Route Army's special forces that occupy the headquarters. We must rush over, eliminate them, and retake the headquarters!" The squad leader affirmed very firmly without even a trace of hesitation.
Just when they rushed to be thirty or forty meters away from the headquarters, Zhang Guoding, who had already switched to defensive mode, discovered them.
Submachine guns, light machine guns, rifles, and pistols were fired at once, and bullets were all directed at them.
"Disperse into battle formation and attack!" the Japanese squad leader who quickly fell to the ground ordered loudly.
There were more than twenty Japanese soldiers, some lying on the ground holding submachine guns to fight back, and some covering the firemen in position, and then controlling the machine guns to suppress fire. The sniper at the end quickly ran to the nearby commanding heights, preparing to snipe the opponent.
Wang Ping, who was directing everyone to fire artillery at the Japanese artillery position, was immediately attracted by the sudden burst of gunfire from the direction of the headquarters.
Although the figures of the Japanese special forces were obscured, the flames constantly spraying from the muzzles of submachine guns and light machine guns exposed their positions and identities.
"No, it's the Japanese special forces. Zhang Guoding has few people and insufficient raw materials, so he will definitely suffer a big loss!" Wang Ping frowned and muttered to himself.
