Chapter 1112 This is not an ambush!
Kitashirakawa Sei received the information one step late, and all Yoshino Squadrons had entered a state of combat.
They relied on a ridge on the south side of the highway from Fengyang County to Bengbu as a bunker, and waited for the Dragon Boat Festival and others to pass the road in front of him, and then launched an ambush.
But Boat Festival knew the location of the Japanese in the morning, so he pretended to send a cavalry of more than 30 people to explore the way.
A Japanese soldier saw the cavalry coming, and asked for instructions: "Sir, let's fight?"
Captain Yoshino stretched out his index finger and shook it in front of the Japanese soldier, and said confidently: "No, no, no, this is just the Dragon Boat Festival's reconnaissance force. Let them go, what we want to kill is Dragon Boat Festival. Do you understand? That is even the Shanghai Expeditionary Army Headquarters has a headache. So as long as our ambush is successful, everyone's contribution will be great."
"Youhe!"
The Japanese soldiers were very happy because they finally had no time to get frozen in the mountains all night.
They let the scouts go and then waited for the battle.
But for some reason, the scouts never came back after they passed.
But Yoshino thought that perhaps the cavalry had gone further to investigate.
He ordered other Japanese devils to follow his orders, and no one would shoot without his orders.
As time passed by minute by minute, the Dragon Boat Festival team finally approached.
A young officer in the lead sat on the horse swaying like walking around the scenery. Yoshino sneered when he saw it and thought to himself: That's it? He has no sense of defense, and he doesn't know how he won the battles before. He is simply a raw melon seed, even the new recruits of the Great Japanese Imperial Army.
Yoshino was sneering in his heart, but he didn't expect that at this moment, the team that was originally swaying suddenly stopped and pulled out two 75mm mountain cannons from behind the team. The artillery of the Northeast Army also placed the mortars in front of the Yoshino Japanese positions.
Yoshino's eyes widened, very surprised, because what does the Chinese army mean? Have you discovered them?
But Yoshino thought it was impossible? He stayed in the mountains all night, how could the Chinese find them?
He didn't believe it, and even suspected that the Chinese were just intimidating them. Because the Japanese also had this habit, they would use machine guns to shoot them in a random manner during the march.
He felt that this must be the case. Their enemies were afraid that they would be ambushed and placed the cannon there and blasted it.
"Don't be afraid, this is the enemy's tentative shelling. They suspect there are ambushes here and cannot be confirmed at all. As long as we don't make a sound, they will walk over without any warning. Do you understand?"
Yoshino cheered the timid Japanese. Because anyone knows that as long as the cannon sounds, it will be time to bet on luck.
The shells came out of the chamber, and no one could guess where the shells would fall.
A veteran once said that if the enemy fires and you are not dead when the first round of shells falls, then you will lie in the crater after the first round of shells, so that the enemy's shells will never blow you up again.
Of course, this is just a probability.
It can be said that most of this theory works.
Because after the artillery is fired, the artillery itself will move due to recoil, which causes two shells to rarely hit a crater.
In addition, the amount of gunpowder in the shell is similar, which increases the probability that two shells will not fall into a crater.
However, people will win the lottery when buying lottery tickets, so sometimes when you bet on this probability, you will often die miserably.
In other words, when the enemy fires, no place is safe, even if you hide in a bullet crater, there is a chance that you will be buried alive.
But at this time the Japanese were betting that the Chinese did not know their specific location, and they were just tentative shelling.
But they didn't know where they were. The Dragon Boat Festival knew their location early. This shelling was to send them a funeral.
The first round of artillery attacks hit the Japanese positions. The Japanese had no trenches and all lay behind the hillside. When the soil on the hillside was blown up, the five Japanese flew out.
Next was the second one. Although this shell did not hit the mountain ridge, it was fired by a mortar. It fell behind the Japanese and exploded. The mud and splashed shrapnel shot three Japanese.
The Japanese soldier screamed and Yoshino scolded loudly. Because Yoshino was still thinking that the bombardment of Dragon Boat Festival was just a test, he was still thinking about how to ambush and assassinate Dragon Boat Festival.
He ordered all the Japanese to not move, even if they were bombed to death on the top of the mountain, they would be like a warrior.
The Japanese believed it and lay motionless behind the ridge, waiting to be bombed to death.
Why are you polite at Dragon Boat Festival? Order the artillery to blow up the mountain ridge first.
However, at this moment, Wang Tong frowned and said, "Commissioner, we are too wasteful of shells when fighting like this. There are not many Japanese soldiers. I will let one of my company rush up and resolve the battle."
Dragon Boat Festival turned around and asked with a smile: "Is your soldier's life not as valuable as a few shells?"
"this,......"
Wang Tong was suddenly asked by Dragon Boat Festival because he had never thought about this question. But he was stunned for a moment, but said, "Special Commissioner, the account is not settled like this. We don't have many shells. When we attack Bengbu, it would be a tough battle. If there was no artillery fire to suppress the enemy, I think it would be difficult for us to attack Bengbu City.
Yesterday, you brought back two mountain cannons. I was still thinking that there is a trap to attack Bengbu City. With these two mountain cannons, we will die at least half of the people. But now that we have all the shells, we may die more when we arrive at Bengbu City."
When the Dragon Boat Festival heard this, he nodded as if he had heard it, but he didn't say anything and did not mean to stop the shelling.
Wang Tong was really helpless because Dragon Boat Festival was the highest commander here, not to mention that they were famous for fighting, so he could only watch it.
But Wang Tong was watching at this time, but the Yoshino Japanese could not bear to see it anymore. This was not a tentative shelling, but someone had known their location for a long time, and it was to blow them to death.
Moreover, the shelling was less than five minutes long, and his squadron, including less than fifty people who died last night.
He could not stay here anymore and ordered: "Retreat, retreat, the enemy has discovered us. Baga, is this Dragon Boat Festival really a god? He has discovered such a secret that we have hidden."
