Chapter 932 The Eighth Route Army has been fooled!
"Bang bang bang... bang bang... bang bang..."
Not long after, sporadic gunshots rang out around the Japanese camp.
Xiong Changhe knew that the security company and reconnaissance platoon directly under the battalion headquarters were in action.
Lieutenant General Ito, the commander of the Japanese division stationed at the station, did not look so good.
Only arranging more than 200 troops to escort the baggage troops to transport water was indeed a Japanese conspiracy, and it was also a temporary plot thought up by Lieutenant General Ito.
However, the troops had already transported drinking water back and forth twice, and the Eighth Route Army was still not fooled.
Not only that, gunshots rang out from other directions in the camp. As soon as they heard it, they knew that it must be the Eighth Route Army who had begun to use their best guerrilla warfare and night raids to sneak attack on the Imperial Army camp.
"Division commander, the troops have been out transporting water for almost two hours. It is impossible that the Eighth Route Army did not discover it. They left our water transport troops alone and continued to sneak attack on our base. They must have discovered our conspiracy!" said the division chief of staff wrinkled!
He frowned and analyzed.
"Compared with our heavily guarded garrison, the transport troops with only more than 200 people are obviously easy to fight, and they are still outside the military camp. Even if it is a sneak attack, the Eighth Route Army should also attack them by surprise. Moreover, the new regiment has strong combat effectiveness and powerful firepower. Even if it is a sneak attack,
It’s no problem to take off our water transport troops in one go!”
"However, the surrounding Eighth Route Army refused to attack our guerrillas... There is only one possibility. They have seen that the water transport troops we sent out are a bait, attracting them to be fooled, and then eating their bait!"
"It's possible~" Lieutenant General Ito replied calmly.
"However, we cannot rule out that this is the Eighth Route Army trying to confuse us... After we turn our attention to these sneak attack troops, they will attack the bait we put out and catch us off guard!"
"Therefore, the net-closing troops we have arranged cannot relax and must continue to be on alert... If this is not possible, we must ensure that half of the troops are on alert and reinforce our water transport troops at any time!"
"Hi!"
Time flew by, and at 9:10 p.m., more than 200 Japanese escorted ten cars back to the water point by the river.
Just like before, the infantry quickly deployed and surrounded the nearly two hundred meters of river bank around the water point.
The darkness and the sound of running water provided the best cover for the main force of the first battalion to approach the Japanese.
It wasn't until the troops reached a position fifty meters away from the Japanese guard post that a Japanese guard post discovered the danger.
"Baga...there is someone there...pop..."
The Japanese guard post subconsciously fired a shot at the suspicious target he saw.
The crisp shot was like setting off a gunpowder keg. The riverside, which was so quiet just now that the sound of running water could be heard, suddenly erupted with very dense gunshots.
The surroundings were pitch black, and at least twenty tongues of fire suddenly appeared in the deserted wasteland where one couldn't see anything at all.
Bullets intertwined with each other like a meteor shower, flying towards the little Japanese guarding the river.
"Baga...it's an enemy attack...quickly cover up and counterattack, stand firm and wait for reinforcements~ In eight minutes at most, our reinforcements will come over and surround the Eighth Route Army who ambushed us!" The leader of the Japanese squadron subconsciously fell to the ground.
, and then ordered.
The reaction speed of the three main companies of the first battalion is faster.
The mission given to them by the battalion commander Xiong Changhe is that in the first round of fire strikes, they must take advantage of the Japanese being caught off guard and kill half of the Japanese directly.
Therefore, light machine guns, rifles, submachine guns, pistols... all kinds of weapons, as long as the effective range exceeds fifty meters, will fire bullets at the enemy at the fastest speed at this moment.
In less than five seconds, there was no longer a Japs standing by the river.
Nearly three hundred people were either beaten to death by bullets or lying on the ground, hiding behind cars.
More and more Japs began to fight back, but their troops and firepower were far inferior to the Eighth Route Army that had surrounded them.
As soon as he fired a bullet, the opponent immediately fired back several, or even dozens of bullets in counterattack.
As for the machine guns, as soon as they fired, the Eighth Route Army attacking them deployed several light machine guns to stare at them.
As the fighting continued, more and more Japs were killed in the encirclement, and the Eighth Route Army attacking them also continued to approach them, shortening the assault distance...
In the Japanese temporary camp, the division commander Lieutenant General Ito, who was just about to take a rest, was suddenly awakened.
He got up from his seat, and then shouted an order: "Chief of Staff, order the reinforcements to set off immediately to reinforce the water transport troops!"
"Judging from the firepower, at least one battalion of the Eighth Route Army attacking our water transport... rushed over, surrounded them, and then attacked them from inside and outside to kill them!"
"This group of Eighth Route Army soldiers attacked us all day long, causing us to lose so many Imperial Army soldiers. Now that we have finally caught them, we must not let them escape again~ Kill them and avenge the Imperial Army who sacrificed their lives during the day!"
The chief of staff heard the order as soon as he rushed to the door of Lieutenant General Ito's tent. Then he did not go in. He agreed to the tent and rushed to the war room to give the order.
"Rumble..."
Amidst the roar of huge engines, three tanks and six armored vehicles rushed out of the station, spitting black smoke and cooperating with each other.
More than 500 Japanese cavalry and more than 1,000 Japanese infantry followed closely and rushed out of the military camp.
All the Japanese soldiers had only one idea at this moment: to rush to the river in the shortest possible time and kill the Eighth Route Army who dared to sneak attack on them.
"All tanks must maintain their formation... Since Tubal Road has the guts to raid our water transport unit, they must have sent troops to stop us. We cannot rule out the possibility that they have deployed electrically detonated mines on the road..." a major squadron leader of the tank brigade
The man in charge of commanding these nine tanks shouted to the communication device as soon as he rushed out of the station.
Then he very carefully ordered: "Each tank maintains its formation... One tank and two armored vehicles form an assault formation. Leave the road immediately. We will take the wasteland next to the road and quickly reinforce the water transport troops by the river..."
In less than five minutes after breaking out of the temporary camp, the engineer platoon appeared in front of the Japanese tanks in a minefield two kilometers away from the Japanese camp.
The confident Japanese did not know all this and continued to rush forward in tanks and armored vehicles.
As long as there are no powerful electrically detonated landmines on the road, tanks and armored vehicles with very strong protection and assault capabilities will kill the Eighth Route Army attacking water transport troops by the river like a massacre...
"boom……"
The violent explosion suddenly reached the ears of the squadron leader, and the chariot driver next to him subconsciously stepped on the brakes to stop the chariot.
Under the influence of huge inertia, the major squadron leader bumped into the armor of the tank.
"Sir, the No. 3 armored vehicle was hit by a mine. It seems to be an ordinary mine, but the wheels of the armored vehicle were blown off and it can't move forward!"
"It can't be an ordinary mine!" the squadron leader frowned and denied.
"Ordinary landmines are not so powerful. The cunning Tubalu must have added explosives or shells to the mines, otherwise the mines would not be so powerful!"
Then he ordered: "Leave the No. 3 tank for repairs, and the other tanks will continue to move forward. All tanks will move thirty meters to the left before advancing, and advance towards the river. The Eighth Route Army cannot possibly lay mines on the entire wasteland..."
