Chapter 175: Ambush at Mangshan (Part 2)
The moment the gunfire rang out, the snipers placed on both sides of the valley were the first to pull the trigger!
With a few crisp gunshots, the officers in the Japanese army were the first to suffer.
These Japs officers deserve their misfortune, because there is no formal sniper branch in the Chinese army, so these Japs officers are too rampant. All officers at the captain level are mounted on horses, and their targets are very obvious. .
Coupled with the obvious difference between the little devil¡¯s officer uniform and soldier uniform, he naturally became the first target of snipers!
Almost at the moment when the gunshots were fired, several Japanese military officers all fell down from their horses. Before those Japanese soldiers could react, 12 heavy machine guns and more than a dozen light machine guns placed on both sides of the valley opened fire. The fire net formed by these light and heavy machine guns swung like a sickle towards the middle of the Japanese marching team. He immediately cut the little devil's marching team into several sections.
Almost at the same time, the soldiers ambushing on both sides of the valley also dropped the grenades in their hands from high places. According to Li Guoyao's order, within two minutes of the sound of gunshots, the seven or eight hundred soldiers ambushing on both sides of the valley dropped their grenades. Throw down all the grenades in your hand.
Five for each person. All the grenades add up to more than 4,000. More than 4,000 grenades exploded at the same time in such a small valley. Just thinking about it makes my scalp numb.
More importantly, most of these soldiers in the independent brigade are veterans who have been removed from the battlefield. They have very rich combat literacy and combat experience. They know how to maximize the power of grenades, so many people choose to delay throwing. .
The so-called delayed throw is to throw the grenade out a few seconds after pulling the string, so that the grenade may explode before it hits the ground. After the explosion, the shrapnel of the grenade will fly everywhere from the air, with almost no dead ends, and it is extremely powerful. fear.
For a time, explosions occurred one after another throughout the valley, making the little devils cry and howl.
However, the reaction of the little Japanese was also quite fast. After the initial panic, the more powerful Japanese soldiers at the front of the team saw the entrance of the valley right in front of them. They thought that they could form a formation as long as they rushed out of the valley, so they immediately picked up their guns and moved forward. Rushing, trying to stand out.
Since the distance was not very far, many people rushed out quickly, and the other Japanese soldiers were unambiguous when they saw this, and followed suit. In less than ten minutes, all the surviving Japanese soldiers in the valley rushed out.
But in just these ten minutes, most of the more than 2,000 Japanese troops were killed or injured. Less than 1,000 people rushed out of the valley. The rest were either killed or injured and stayed in the valley.
However, the Japanese soldiers who rushed out of the valley did not really escape. When they just rushed to a large open space, before they could take a breath, they heard a dull "bang bang" sound, and then one by one with tail fins A cylindrical object fell from the sky, and then explodedexplodedexploded again
"Baga, it's a cannon fire, pay attention to the bombardment!"
"Bagaya Road, lie down, that person has artillery!"
"Lie down"
Just when the Japs were in chaos, the garrison positions on the gentle slopes on both sides of the open space and in three directions in front opened fire. A firepower network composed of light and heavy machine guns plus thousands of rifles enveloped the Japs soldiers like a god of death.
"There's an ambush, Baga!"
"Kill the enemy, fight back, fight back immediately!"
"Reporters, immediately send a message to the troops behind, asking them to quickly reinforce"
In fact, there was no need for them to send a report at this time. The Japanese soldiers behind also discovered something unusual. Although the distance between the two sides was more than ten kilometers, the vanguard had been lingering at the entrance of the valley for a long time, so the distance between the two teams was now only seven or eight. kilometers.
"After the battle started, Li Guoyao's troops, which were equipped with both light and heavy machine guns and mortars, made such a big noise that the Japanese soldiers behind him naturally heard it.
Originally, the commander of the Japanese rear team did not think it was a big deal at the beginning. He thought that the main force was blocked by the Chinese army here, and it would definitely not take long to be defeated.
But a few minutes later, they discovered a problem. The sound of gunfire from the direction of the battlefield was very fierce. It was obvious that the enemy was more difficult to deal with than imagined. Immediately, the Japanese commander Major Aoki ordered the troops to speed up their march.
However, they had just walked less than two kilometers when they received a telegram from the troops in front, saying that they were ambushed by an army. The main force suffered heavy losses, and the company captain was also killed. Now they are surrounded. Near the valley, requesting reinforcements.
After receiving the telegram, Major Aoki was completely confused. What the hell is this? It had only been a short time since the war started, and it only took half an hour to fight. The two main brigades of the imperial army were beaten and asked for help. Moreover, the captain of the alliance was also killed. How strong is the opponent?
But thinking that the troops in front were in urgent need of reinforcements, Major Aoki immediately ordered the troops to abandon their baggage and dry food and move forward lightly. I arrived at the battlefield within half an hour.
Following Major Aoki¡¯s order, a brigade of infantry and a brigade of engineers from behind quickly ran forward, leaving only a brigade of artillery still slowly advancing.
It¡¯s not that these artillerymen are not anxious, but it¡¯s useless for them to be anxious. You must know that the 75mm caliber mountain cannon they are equipped with weighs more than a thousand kilograms and requires two horses to pull it. In addition, the road is rugged. The dirt road itself is as slow as a snail, and you can't go faster even if you want to.
At this time, the battle on the main battlefield has entered a fierce stage. Under the crazy attack of Li Guoyao's troops, the little Japanese suffered heavy losses!
The inverted triangle ambush array once again burst out with huge power. Although the current triangle is not an isosceles triangle due to terrain reasons, it can still achieve 360 ??degrees with no dead ends. No matter which direction the little devil breaks out from, he will be attacked in one direction. The blocking attack and the flanking attacks from the other two directions caused casualties to rise rapidly.
In less than half an hour, only three or four hundred of the more than a thousand Japanese soldiers who rushed out of the valley were left. And it had only been forty minutes since the war started, and the two infantry brigades of the Japanese soldiers, with more than 2,000 soldiers, were Four-fifths of the casualties have been lost, and only a few hundred people are left hanging on.
The surviving Japanese soldiers were desperate. The army on the opposite side was really terrifying. Bullets were coming from all directions, making it impossible for them to avoid it.
It is impossible to break out of the encirclement. They have charged twice just now, but they were all repelled in a very short period of time. It is impossible to retreat to the valley, so all they can do now is to stand firm and wait for help.
The only thing that keeps these Japanese soldiers fighting is that there are more than 2,000 troops behind them. They just need to hold on until reinforcements arrive. Although they may not be able to defeat the opponent, at least they can be rescued, and this is enough. .
The surrounded Japanese soldiers relied on the remains of the dead to carry out limited counterattacks, while urging the troops behind to speed up their march.
But Li Guoyao could only order the troops to adjust their firepower and try not to kill all the remaining several hundred Japanese soldiers, and even the artillery stopped.
There was no way, who could have made these Japanese soldiers be too careless, and they killed most of them immediately, and the remaining ones did not last too long. If they didn't "let go", the Japanese soldiers in the encirclement below would probably have ten consecutive attacks. I couldn't hold on for more than a minute.
" And Li Guoyao still needed them to be fishing bait, so he couldn't let them die like this, so he could only order the troops to weaken their firepower.
Under Li Guoyao's intentional release, the Japs finally took a breath, but they did not think too much. They thought that the Chinese army's ammunition consumption was serious, so the firepower dropped suddenly. This also intensified the Japs soldiers to urge the troops behind them. Speed ??up to prevent the Chinese army from giving them a hand-to-hand fight.
You must know that at this time, they only have more than 300 troops left, and the Chinese army on the opposite hillside has two to three thousand people. Once they rush down to engage in hand-to-hand combat, even if they are all masters of bayonet fighting, they will easily If we can't afford the siege by so many Chinese soldiers, it is completely foreseeable that we will be wiped out.
