Chapter 291 Ambush in progress
Yes, the intelligence personnel of the Army Rabbits in Liao County have reported the latest trends of the Japanese. A large group of Japanese soldiers will advance along the valley of the west source of the Qingzhang River towards Matian this morning in an attempt to fight with the large group of the 16th Division.
Pincer attack on the defenders of Asada.
He originally planned to rely on his fortifications and firepower advantages to fight a positional battle with the Japanese! However, a rainstorm last night made Jiang Dajiang change his mind. He concentrated all his troops on both sides of the river valley about two kilometers away.
With the help of rainwater washing to cover up the traces, he decided to fight an ambush here!
That's right, blockade battles, positional battles, where can there be a surprise and relief in an ambush battle? It's raining to help, why don't you arrange it quickly?
As a result, the guard company and the combat platoon of the logistics support battalion that were originally hiding in the fortifications in the south were transferred to the fortifications of the 2nd and 3rd battalions in the north in the rain overnight.
In order to increase the effect of the ambush, he ordered the soldiers to place 100 directional mines in this section of the river valley despite the rain! 50 on each side of the river valley, just waiting for the little devils to come and give them a hard blow!
The directional mines wrapped in oil paper did not become ineffective due to the rain. The connected wires were in the hands of the soldiers in the trenches. All they had to do was wait for the Japanese to press the detonators when the enemy came.
"Brothers, let's drink a bowl of ginger soup each to warm ourselves up first. The hot water will arrive soon. You can eat some combat rations first. After we finish fighting the Japanese, let's eat steamed buns with meat and mutton!!"
In the trenches, the brothers in the cooking class used smokeless stoves to boil several pots of ginger soup in a hidden place to keep the soldiers away from the cold. They also boiled some hot water for the soldiers to drink.
This is the advantage of having fixed fortifications. The cooking squad and the rescue squad can shuttle in the trenches without worrying about being discovered by the Japanese. Even the soldiers can drink water and eat fried noodles in the trenches by leaning on the trench wall.
The little devil has already left the city, turned east into the Qingzhang River Xiyuan Valley, and is shuttling through the winding valley. If you want to get there, you can't do it in two hours!
Therefore, the soldiers should eat and drink, and by the way, they should wipe their guns and wipe off the water stains on the bullets.
After breakfast, the soldiers began to prepare for battle! Because they were using a general-purpose machine gun, there was no need to worry about the metal bullet belt getting wet and deformed due to rain. If this was Civilian 24, the bullet belt would have to be kept dry.
The machine gunners of the general-purpose heavy machine gun quietly shook the branches covering the machine gun to shake off the water droplets on it. The deputy shooter also put the ammunition chain in place, waiting for the Japanese to come.
"Quick, quick, move over here and see if you're wet!"
Because the heavy-duty shotgun launcher is made of paper shells, although there is a layer of waterproof grease on it, you still have to be careful. If it fails to fire, you will be in trouble!
Fortunately, these custom-loaded shotshells were placed in wooden boxes in the Zangbing Cave. The inside of the box was also wrapped several layers of oil paper, and it did not become damp due to the rain last night.
Now, the soldiers carried the boxes with fixed shotshells and placed them in front of the heavy shotgun launchers, waiting to be fired one by one.
"Kakakaka..." The back cover of the grenade was unscrewed, the pull ring inside was pulled out, and it was ready to be thrown...
On the top of the mountain, Sun Xiaobao and Xiao Mozi led 10 sniper trainees to hide here. Because they were so well disguised, most people couldn't find their traces at all.
In a mountain crevice, Sun Xiaobao lay motionless, with his Type 97 sniper rifle at hand. And within reach, his beloved semi-automatic rifle was there.
He kneaded a ball of combat rations in the rain, and Sun Xiaobao quickly swallowed it. He knew that this combat ration with added ginseng powder would bring him enough heat and warmth to prevent him from shooting later.
Poor condition.
Not far away from him, Song Lai also had similar equipment. At this moment, the child was observing the valley below the mountain with a telescope.
The waiting is long and boring! The soldiers who have prepared are waiting quietly for the Japanese to arrive! The only thing left on the battlefield is the rushing flow of the river at the foot of the mountain.
Occasionally, a whistling mountain breeze blows through the air with the fresh fragrance of flowers. Everything is very quiet, very quiet...
"Bump, bust, bust..." The leather boots stepped on the slippery road, and the kid stumbled from time to time. The mountain road that had just rained was not easy to walk!
A large group of Japanese soldiers were walking in the river valley carrying guns and cannons. It looked like they had been walking for a long time. Some of the Japanese soldiers had mud and water all over their bodies. It looked like they had fallen down.
The strength of this brigade is still very strong. There are more than a thousand people in the brigade, walking in two columns in the river valley, forming a long march.
"Baga! Such a road is really difficult to walk! I don't understand, why do we have to conquer this mountainous area? Is it just to occupy such a place?" A Japanese soldier looked at the surrounding mountains with dissatisfaction, wishing to turn around.
go back.
"Murakami-kun, calm down! We are just soldiers, we just need to obey orders! Maybe we can catch a few pretty girls on the way!" the Japanese soldiers on the side comforted him.
"Xingxi, the flower girl is so cute!" The grumbling Japanese soldier began to look forward to it.
Of course, the Japanese are looking forward to it, and so are the security guards hiding on both sides!
It's close, it's close! Hold it!
The leading team passed by, okay! The subsequent large forces followed... Why are there no mountain cannons? When did infantry cannons become carried by humans?
Okay, most of the large army has passed, and we are waiting for the subsequent troops to enter the ambush circle...
Haha, the last Japanese soldier has entered the ambush! Is it time to set off the flare?
"Chirp, chirp..." Just as the soldiers were observing the Japanese covertly and looking forward to the coming battle, the long-awaited signal flare finally rose into the air, drawing a beautiful arc...
"Hit!" Every time there is an ambush, someone with such a loud voice starts shouting. Could it be that your shooting can't be as loud as this?
Fortunately, no one paid attention to him! While the signal flares were still climbing into the sky, the soldiers who had been hiding in the trenches and had not shown their heads emerged one after another, picked up their guns and started shooting.
"Ta-ta-ta...ta-ta-ta..." The general-purpose machine gun began to spit out tongues of fire at the Japanese soldiers at the foot of the mountain.
"Tsk...swish..." Those who were close began to throw grenades.
"Bah bang bang..." The riflemen fired the first shot.
"Fire, one shot!" The gunners of the mortar company began to fire, shooting mortar shells into the sky one after another...
But these sounds were all covered up by the sound of directional mine explosions.
Also when the flare climbed up, the soldiers responsible for detonating the directional mines pressed the detonators in their hands one after another, allowing the current from the dry battery to detonate the detonator, and then detonated the TNT explosive.
Chapter completed!
