Chapter 174: Ambush at Mangshan (Part 2)
After issuing the order, Li Guoyao ordered Lu Zhanwu to select 25 soldiers with good marksmanship from the guard battalion to form 5 sniper teams, and placed them in each battalion on the front line.
The main task of these temporarily formed sniper groups is to kill all exposed Japanese officers as soon as the battle begins, and then to kill any firepower points that the enemy may have set up to maximize the potential of the Japanese army to counterattack.
Following Li Guoyao¡¯s order, more than 8,000 national army officers and soldiers moved quickly. After more than two hours of hard work, they finally entered the preset positions.
In order to ensure that this battle can annihilate the invading Japanese troops in one fell swoop, and to preserve the precious five centimeters of his little brother, Li Guoyao personally visited the front line to check the deployment of each unit.
The first thing Li Guoyao checked was the ambush positions on both sides of the valley. According to Li Guoyao's request, the soldiers of the 1st Battalion of the Second Regiment and the Fire Support Battalion dug a one-meter-deep trench on the slopes on both sides of the valley. The main function of the trench In addition to being convenient for shooting, the most important thing is for concealment.
Although the hills on both sides of the canyon are covered with various grasses and trees, many weeds need to be dealt with in order not to affect shooting, so that people can easily find their traces.
Now Li Guoyao ordered people to dig the trenches, and then all the soldiers hid in the trenches, and arranged various vegetation camouflage on the trenches. If they didn't get closer, it would be impossible for the little devil to find out that there were still people hiding here.
Li Guoyao then checked the various sniper positions. Although the layout was not professional enough and no preparatory positions were built, after Li Guoyao's guidance, these temporary snipers quickly closed all the loopholes.
On the road leading to Mangshan, a group of Japanese troops were advancing rapidly. They were the 65th Japanese Regiment that was ordered to attack Quanjiao.
This morning they went all the way south from Chu County. Their goal was to capture Quanjiao County and then restore the railway transportation line that had been paralyzed for many days.
As the captain of the main force of the first-class division, Colonel Liangjiao Operations is still very proud. Especially according to the intelligence sent back by THT, the Chinese defenders in Quanjiao County only have one disabled infantry brigade, and Liangjiao Operations is even more proud. I feel that this battle is just killing a chicken with a knife.
Fortunately, one hundred and fifty kilometers east of Quanjiao is the important town of Hefei in Anhui, so his reinforced regiment equipped with engineers and artillery is not really useless.
What's more, their main task this time is not to siege the city, but to clear the traffic. Compared with the less challenging siege battle, this is more troublesome.
After all, not all railway lines are in the plains, and many of them have to pass through mountainous areas. Therefore, after occupying Quanjiao, they have to go deep into the mountainous areas to inspect these railway lines. It is very tiring and has no benefits.
As for whether they could conquer Quanjiao, Liangjiaojie had never thought about it. It was obvious that a no-name infantry brigade could be the opponent of their powerful 65th Regiment, not to mention that the brigade had been defeated in the previous battle. Crippled.
The fact is indeed as expected by Colonel Liangjiao. They have made very smooth progress along the way. Not to mention the Chinese army, even the common people are very few.
They passed a dozen towns and hundreds of villages along the way, but except for a few villages, almost all the villages were deserted. Obviously these cunning farmers knew that the imperial army was going to pass through these, so They all evacuated early.
But it doesn¡¯t matter. Although they couldn¡¯t kill many farmers, the warriors of the imperial army set fire to all the villages they saw. They wanted to see how these cunning farmers survived the winter in the cold winter!
Soon, the joint search team clearing the way ahead sent someone to report that they had reached a long and narrow canyon ahead!
"Yamamoto, what do you think?"
After listening to the report of the telegraph soldier, Ryojiao looked at Chief of Staff Yamamotojiro and asked.
Yamamoto Jiro thought for a while and said: "Sir, there is a record on the map of the canyon in front. It is about two kilometers long. The two sides are relatively dangerous. The bottom of the valley is flat but very narrow. It is not suitable for large troops to march and is also prone to ambushes. It is best It¡¯s a detour!¡±
"Can it be bypassed?" the two-cornered commander asked immediately.
"Yes, but you need to walk an extra 30 kilometers!" Chief of Staff Yamamoto replied.
"Baga, the warriors of the Imperial Army have been marching for a day. If they cannot reach Quanjiao before the end of the day, they will have to camp outside. If they walk another thirty kilometers, it is obviously impossible for the soldiers to invade Quanjiao City tonight. Got it!" Two charactersZuo said loudly.
"Sir, you are right. If we take a detour, the attack time may be postponed until tomorrow!"
"Baga, this is absolutely unacceptable!"
"But it's safer this way!" Major Yamamoto replied.
"No, our search team has searched all the nearby hills along the way today. Even the ditches and ditches have not been spared, but no information about the enemy has been found. Obviously, the person has been captured. I¡¯m scared out of my wits!¡±
¡°Sir, if that¡¯s the case, we need to keep our troops apart before crossing the canyon, so that even if they are ambushed, the losses will not be too great!¡± Major Yamamoto suggested.
However, I heard Colonel Liangjiao say loudly: "Baga, that army has even lost its capital and has become a homeless dog. How can it have the courage to ambush our reinforced regiment! Don't forget that army." The overall strength of the army is very poor, so what if it is an ambush? Could it be that with the strong combat effectiveness of our 65th Regiment, we cannot destroy that infantry brigade?"
Major Yamamoto thought it made sense. Let alone the crippled infantry brigade, it didn't matter even if there was a complete Chinese infantry division on the opposite side. The warriors of the 65th Regiment could easily defeat it. .
Soon, under the orders of Colonel Ryojiao, the two front brigades and the joint search team and more than 2,000 Japanese troops sped up and arrived at the entrance to the north of the valley.
Inside the canyon, Xie Baojun and others were extremely nervous. They entered the position more than an hour ago. Although the sun had not set yet, the soldiers were still shivering from the cold weather.
But even so, the soldiers could only endure it. Occasionally, some soldiers wanted to move their legs and feet, but the noise they made immediately attracted the stern eyes of the officers and cadres to stop them.
There is no other way. The key to ambush warfare is to be surprised. Once exposed, everything will be over!
After the main force of the Japanese army arrived at the entrance to the north of the valley, it stopped. Then a group of two hundred infantrymen quickly entered the valley, and then continued to shoot at the hills on both sides with machine guns as they advanced.
Some soldiers were about to fight back when they heard the gunshots, but were quickly stopped by the officers leading the team. Experienced people know that these Japanese soldiers did not find anyone, but were conducting fire reconnaissance because they were worried that someone would ambush them.
At this time, the courage and patience of the soldiers will be tested. Even if they are injured, they have to endure it. As long as they survive, the enemy will not be far away from death.
Ten minutes later, the little devil finally completed the short canyon, and the fire reconnaissance stopped immediately. After finding nothing abnormal, he immediately notified the troops behind to enter the valley.
After receiving the report, Colonel Ryoka and Major Yamamoto breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the army was not found, they did not need to take a detour, which saved them a lot of trouble!
Then, under the orders of Liangjiao Operation, the Japanese army immediately entered the valley.
On a hill a few kilometers away, Li Guoyao was half-lying on the top of the mountain, holding a telescope high in his hand, constantly observing the actions outside the valley.
Although limited by the magnification and distance of the telescope, the view was not very clear, but when the Japanese army walked towards the valley, the corners of Li Guoyao's mouth still raised slightly, revealing a cold smile.
Soon, the rear of the Japanese army also entered the ambush circle. Li Guoyao felt that it was time and waited for the attack signal from the Second Regiment.
And Xie Baojun did not keep Li Guoyao waiting. In less than half a minute, three consecutive signal bombs flew into the sky.
The signal flare is the signal of attack. When the flare flew into the sky, the soldiers ambushing on both sides of the valley immediately took off the camouflage nets on their bodies, set up light and heavy machine guns, loaded the bombs, opened the safety, and pulled the trigger!
In an instant, the valley was deafened by the sound of gunfire, various light and heavy weapons fired at the same time, and the battle began.
