PFC Chapter 309: The Japanese Year-End Sweep 8
Chapter 309: The Japanese Year-End Sweep 8
Yang Zhenhua's plan went smoothly, but the patience of the brigade commander Tanaka had been completely exhausted.
The battle lasted for almost two hours. So many troops were mobilized, but the only news he received was to wait. This made him very annoyed.
Although he knew that the independent regiment was strong, Chida had a huge advantage in military strength, so even if it was three for one, it should be no problem, right?
"Moriya-kun, let's go to the front lines and check on that idiot Chida."
The division's flight squadron could have arrived an hour ago, and the division commander has asked about it several times. Tanaka must be under a lot of pressure.
Seeing this, Morimoto didn't dare to say anything for Chida, and bowed slightly in agreement.
Chida Sadao was not in a very good mood at the moment. He had prepared to send a message, but Iyama and Numakawa both said that the enemy was fleeing. How could he inform the brigade commander of this situation?
In fact, the puppet army lacked training, and it was impossible for it to catch up with the soldiers of the Second Battalion from the front. The Japanese could do it, but they also had great restrictions and were restricted in the pursuit.
Gu Changfeng's customized training covered all aspects. He was not a mechanized corps, so he could only work on his leg strength. In addition, the soldiers of the Second Battalion did not flee in a rout, but retreated in formation, so it was natural that it was difficult for the Japanese to pursue them.
"Captain, go to the pre-set ambush point immediately. The soldiers are ready."
A soldier said to the company commander.
The company commander nodded and shouted as he ran, "Brothers, execute the plan!"
"Haha, Captain, just watch!"
The soldier next to him laughed and said.
Everyone knew the plan. It was to wait for the explosives to explode, take advantage of the chaos among the Japanese and puppet troops, and kill them by surprise. It was very simple.
Not far away, a soldier stared at the front. After all the soldiers in his company had left, he waited for a while before speaking.
"The devils have entered the ambush point, brothers, get ready."
When a dozen soldiers heard the order, their expressions became nervous.
The soldier holding the telescope watched the Japanese and puppet troops enter and shouted loudly: "Detonate!"
As he finished speaking, the soldiers pressed the detonator hard, and in an instant, the whole place suddenly rang with violent explosions.
Boom boom boom!
The explosives made by this group of students were quite good. They had the high explosives exchanged by Gu Changfeng for them to research and experiment, and they had Wan Chenghai to cooperate with them in whatever they wanted, so the Japanese and puppet troops were in trouble.
In the area, one Japanese soldier after another was blown away and killed. The puppet soldiers and Japanese soldiers who were lucky enough to survive lay on the ground and dared not move. Those who were not in the area were so scared that they retreated directly.
The ordinary Japanese and puppet soldiers did not expect it, and the leader of the team, Lieutenant Colonel Iyama, did not expect it either, that the Chinese had actually placed a large amount of explosives in front of them, and their escape was just to lure them over.
"Damn it! These Chinese are so cunning!"
The angry Lieutenant Colonel Iyama lay on the ground with a changed face. There were at least a thousand people who had just entered, and at least one-third of them were killed in the explosion. Most of the survivors were probably wounded.
Without giving them time to react, the artillery company of the second battalion took action.
More than a dozen mortars fired at the same time, bombarding the lying Japanese and puppet troops.
Now, the Japanese and puppet troops were even more afraid to move. The surrounding area was flat and they had no chance to counterattack the artillery.
"Baga, evacuate quickly!"
Jingshan knew very well that if this continued, the Chinese would charge and he would not be able to get support from the regiment.
So they had no choice but to evacuate under the bombardment, otherwise, in this situation, there would be even greater casualties.
What he thought was indeed correct. As soon as he gave the order, the soldiers of the second battalion in front charged forward, targeting the Japanese and puppet troops who were ambushed by explosives.
Bang bang bang!
Da da da!
The soldiers of the Second Battalion had no intention of saving ammunition. They fired at the wounded Japanese and puppet soldiers lying on the ground and quickly sent them back to their homeland in Japan.
The puppet soldiers naturally followed along. After all, they were a group of people who betrayed their ancestors, so there was nothing wrong with them going along.
In the end, Jingshan was scared and evacuated the area with more than 2,000 people.
The soldiers didn't care and just picked up the guns and ammunition on the ground. Now that the war had started, although they had no shortage of ammunition, they would definitely take every grain of ammunition they could seize.
On the front battlefield, Shi Xiaoliu heard explosions a few miles away on both sides and immediately ordered: "Alternate cover and prepare to evacuate."
Since the plan was successful, they couldn't stay here any longer. What if the Japanese sent more troops or attacked them from the side?
The two companies will be in great trouble and it will be difficult for them to retreat.
"Baga, what's going on?" Chida Sadao shouted angrily.
The violent explosion made him feel that his subordinates must have been ambushed, but so many people were ambushed by a few Chinese people, how could this happen?
"Reporting to the commander, news has come from the front that the Iyama and Numagawa Battalions accidentally entered the enemy's minefield while pursuing."
"The Imperial Army lost a squadron, and the Imperial Affiliated Army lost over 700 men."
The situations of both parties are similar, and they are surprisingly sympathetic to each other.
Just as Chida Sadao was about to say something, Tanaka Shinichi opened the tent and walked in, his cold face covered with frost.
He heard the explosion and had a feeling that the plan seemed to have failed.
"Qiantian, you seem to have forgotten what I said to you before we left!"
Tanaka's words made the angry Chida Sadao's face turn pale, and beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead.
It was true. The brigade commander had warned him to be careful before he set off.
But looking back, he didn't seem to have done anything wrong in command. If he had anything to blame, he could only blame his subordinates and the Imperial Army for being so useless...
"Hey! Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, it's my fault!"
There is no way out. Qiantian, the captain of the team, must take responsibility for the failure of this mission.
Tanaka Shinichi was silent. To be honest, he knew Chida's abilities, and he didn't want to be too harsh on this subordinate who was good at flattering him.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "Since these Chinese have retreated, let the warriors and the imperial army retreat!"
He is actually in a difficult situation now. He has already received news that there are Chinese blocking the way ahead.
He now has to break through the blockade layer by layer before he can enter Gaojia Town.
But the problem is that the casualties in this ambush have far exceeded his expectations. If this continues, how many troops will he have left when he enters Gaojia Town?
"Your Excellency, the Chinese are very difficult to deal with. The Imperial Army cannot afford to waste time with them along the way."
"So I suggest concentrating our forces and cooperating with the Empire's flying squadrons."
"Once these Chinese suffer heavy casualties, they will naturally retreat."
Colonel Morimoto's words made Tanaka Shinichi fall into deep thought.
This time, there were only more than 2,000 people blocking the way, but they caused heavy casualties. If they continue, when will they be able to enter Gaojia Town?
Originally, he didn't want the brigade to suffer too much loss on the road, but now it seems that there is no other way.
Thinking of this, Tanaka Shinichi slowly said: "The artillery regiments will coordinate, the Imperial Army will charge first, and after one round, the Imperial Army warriors will go up."
If he didn't advance quickly, he would be scolded as the brigade commander.
"Hi!" Morimoto and others bowed in response.
The completely released Tanaka was a disaster for the soldiers of several battalions.
You know, even though their mission was not completed this time, it doesn’t mean they can’t continue to carry it out later.
