439 Ambush is about to begin
"Woo...Dududu...Chalala..."
On a wide waterway on Baiyangdian, a fleet of Japanese transport ships was sailing on the water. This fleet was driven back from Tianjin, and the ship was filled with military supplies!
The importance of Baiyangdian can be seen here!
The Japanese only need to use freighters to transport supplies from their homeland to Tianjin Wharf, and then transport them directly from Tianjin to Baoding through the fleet through the Daqing River or Fu River. This realizes the material dispatch between the Jinpu Line and the Jinghan Line, and there is no need to go to Peking at all, saving the boss's time and transportation capacity.
This time, the Japanese used 4 motorboats, 2 steamers and a total of 20 wooden boats to transport supplies.
The four motorboats were equipped with heavy machine guns and light machine guns, and the front and back two cruised on both sides of the fleet. Each ship had two squads of Japanese soldiers. The two small steamer also had heavy machine guns on it, and there were only about a dozen Japanese soldiers on the ship.
Behind the steamer is a string of wooden boats filled with supplies, which can achieve speed.
This batch of supplies is quite a lot! There are dozens of tons of grain, ten nine-two machine guns, a ship of 38 rifles and bullets, and five brand new 92 infantry artillery and shells.
Therefore, for the safety of this batch of supplies, there are five escorted Japanese soldiers on each wooden boat, and a crooked sling is their main weapon! If an emergency occurs, the five infantry cannons can also be used!
Having said that, such a fleet and such weapon configuration are generally very safe, and no one has the courage to rob such a fleet!
But... there seems to be no class here...
Five kilometers away from the Liulin Town stronghold, Company Commander Zhong led his company, the newly established water guerrillas and 24 soldiers from the first company to ambush on both sides of a waterway.
This waterway is very wide, about 200 meters, and on both sides are shallow shallow water areas, with a large number of reeds growing. This waterway is the only way for the Japanese transport fleet.
Corps Zhong and his team chose to ambush the waterway, with a large turn and a narrow and shallow harbor from here to merge into the main waterway, forming a triangular waters.
This is simply a natural ambush terrain! I’m sorry if I don’t set up an ambush here!
Why do you say that? The ambush team only needs to arrange fire points on both sides of the curved channel, which is cross-fire! The advantage of cross-fire is that there are basically no blind spots...
In the reeds on one side of the waterway, Company Commander Zhong was in charge of command.
"Are you put things on the channel?" asked Company Commander Zhong.
"Put it on! Company Commander Xia said that the Japanese steamboats and steamer propellers are most afraid of water and grass entanglement, so we can find a way from here! So, we arranged a large amount of water and grass on the waterway, and we used thick hemp ropes for the reed mats and some thick iron wire!" The soldier in charge replied.
"Good!" said Captain Zhong.
After saying that, Company Commander Zhong turned his head to look at the soldiers who were ambushing on both sides, and was very worried about whether he could defeat the Japanese transport team today.
His family knows his family affairs. His company, which has less than 100 people, has a Czech light machine gun and 50 Hanyang-made rifles, 10 shotguns and 20 double-barrel hunting rifles. The light machine gun only has 200 rounds and the rifle has only five rounds. There are many shotguns, but they are too close.
However, when he saw the more than 40 large lifting poles, he felt a little relieved.
After the guidance of the security team soldiers, these large-scale gunpowder and iron sand were used to be equipped with the largest number of gunpowder and iron sand, and they were shot out!
On the side of the ambush, the soldiers of the security regiment were teaching the Eighth Route Army soldiers who were assigned to them.
"Put down your broken thing! At this distance, your double-barrel hunting rifle can't hit the Japanese! Come here, fight later, don't do anything, just hand me ammunition!" said a soldier in a row.
"Comrade, what's the name of this thing you use? Is it a little cannon?" asked the new recruit.
"This is called a heavy shot launcher, which is modified with a large lift pole! You will know when you hit it later! Thank you for practicing with them, otherwise no one will use this thing!"
The gunner of this heavy shotgun launcher is a temporary worker. He was originally an assault infantry, but now he has made a temporary guest appearance.
"How is it? Have you learned it? Change the barrel just like that! Don't worry about the barrel that falls on the ground, replace the replaced barrel first! Come on, let's try it!"
This is the heavy machine gunner, the original version!
There were 24 people in a row who were not seasick, three heavy machine gunners, two heavy shotgun launchers, and the rest were infantry.
However, in order to ensure the intensity of firepower, some soldiers who had received machine gunner training and heavy shotgun launcher operation training were pushed to become machine gunners and heavy shotgun launcher gunners.
Xia Tian had planned to find several machine gunners from Company Commander Zhong, but there was no suitable one here, so he could only send a few veterans who had fought a few battles and had not yet made a gun to help.
Machine guns like the slow version of MG are not professionally trained, and most people really can't play with them. Heavy shotgun launchers are easy to operate, but hand speed is very important.
With the help of the Eighth Route Army soldiers, the 24 people in a company were able to split 12 out to fight independently, which gave 12 more firepower points. Company Commander Zhong could calculate this account.
While these temporary machine gunners and gunners were teaching temporary matching deputy shooters, they also became familiar with the performance of the guns and knew it.
Well, there is actually good news, that is, two of the 24 people have entered the battle with two precision shooter rifles.
At the Great Wall, Xifengkou, the Japanese artillery fire fell on the Chinese defenders' positions like a scrubbing ground, exploding shallow and narrow trenches, turning a machine gun into various parts, and turning the machine gun into parts.
It is now the 22nd year of the Republic of China, and the Great Wall War of Resistance is in full swing.
The main body of the War of Resistance were the Northwest Army, the Jinsui Army and the Central Army. As for a young marshal who was stationed in Beiping, he was deprived of command because a certain Tomko lost Chengde without a single shot.
"Everyone enters the position! Hurry up! The Japanese are coming! Be sure to defend!"
At the mouth of Xifeng, a company commander waved the box cannon in his hand and loudly ordered his subordinates to enter the already dilapidated trenches.
And at the foot of the mountain opposite them, a squadron of the Japanese had already started the attacking rhythm.
The Japanese attack rhythm seems to have not changed. Generally, it is artillery bombing, infantry attacking, artillery bombing after infantry attacking, and artillery bombing after infantry attacking. If the division with better conditions is also equipped with aviation bombing formations to help.
They knew that in such a terrain, the Japanese would use firepower to reconnaise...
