Chapter 144 Outsmarting and destroying the enemy
After the war situation changed, Liang Moqing only left one squadron to siege the remaining enemies according to the command headquarters, and the rest went to meet the reinforcements to fight against the Japanese. Now, a squadron and newly recruited troops, with a total of more than 300 people, besieged the same number of enemies in the Dragon King Temple.
Guo Zhenru did not expect that he retreated to the Dragon King Temple, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Although he temporarily avoided the end of annihilation, he could not rush out again. A few machine guns could seal the only path of the wooden bridge, not to mention that there were several grenade launchers, who were prepared to blow up the bridge to block the enemy if they could not defend it.
Gao Rongli was silent for a while while touching his beard, and suddenly said, "Captain, listen, is this a firecracker in the distance?"
Lu Peng listened for a while, shook his head and said, "It's impossible that it's so fast, right?"
Lu Peng and Gao Rongli were obviously a little anxious. The sound of gunfire and explosions in the distance made the two of them restless. Lu Peng sent people to inquire about the situation of the battle several times, but resisted the impulse.
Suddenly, a fierce gunfire sounded on the position, mixed with trembling shouts. The enemies of the Dragon King Temple opened fire together to cover Zhang Sanyou and lead his troops to break through.
"Damn it, I'm just annoyed, and they're here to join in the fun again." Gao Rongli stomped his feet suddenly, pulled out his pistol, and said to Lu Peng: "I'll go and see, I have to beat the bastards back."
"If you don't have it, just blow up the bridge and don't fight them. Now the most important battlefield has become a secondary aspect." Lu Peng instructed worriedly.
…………
There was a loud sound of gunfire in the distance, and Mugu could hear it clearly. The enemy might be attacking Guo Zhenru's troops. He knew he would hurry up.
The mortars began to bombard, and a small team of Japanese men crawled forward with skilled tactical movements, and the light and heavy machine guns roared, providing cover.
There was no gun fire on the ground, no cannons fired, and even people could not see them. There were only shells, the soil and dust raised by the bullets, and bursts of gunpowder smoke.
Four hundred meters and three hundred meters, the grenade launcher of the offensive team also began to be launched, and bursts of smoke and dust rose behind the ground.
Two hundred meters and one hundred meters, the mortars stopped bombarding and the grenade launcher also stopped firing. The infantry continued to advance, fifty meters and thirty meters... Under the surprise gaze of Kitani, the infantry boarded the ground and occupied the enemy's positions.
The sound of gunfire in the distance was still dense, but this side unexpectedly became silent. The expected desperate attempt to block, or even resist, made Kitani confused and hesitated.
The Japanese team leader was also surprised to occupy the low-high and small hills. He held up his telescope and looked at it. There was a flat field on the front of the hill. In April, it had just turned green, and a shallow trench suddenly appeared, and the newly turned out soil formed a sharp contrast with the surroundings.
More than 300 meters to the left of the hill is a small woodland, and on the right is a small depression with weeds. Behind the trenches and in the woods, there are figures shaking, which should be the ambush of the enemy. Looking further, well, there is a mound beyond the distance between more than two miles and there is a denser figure on it.
Giving up this hill, the enemy wanted to lure the imperial army into the flat and open fields below, and the enemy in the trenches and the woods attacked each other. The Japanese squad leader quickly made a judgment, and felt ridiculous because of the enemy's pretending to be cunning and naive.
Dada dada... 时光, 时光... machine gun, rifle suddenly rang, bullets shot out from behind the trenches and in the woods, and fiercely shot at the Japanese on the hills.
The Japanese squad leader immediately lay down with his soldiers and lie down. While fighting back, he issued flag words to ask the brigade behind him to come up, or ask Kitani for instructions on how to act, or transfer mortars to attack the enemy.
Muya, who received the flag words, led a team to catch up with the Tugang, bombarded and occupied it. He believed that there were no traps like landmines on the Tugang. Moreover, he really had to observe it himself before he could decide the next action.
On the ground, the Japanese's firepower suddenly increased, making the soldiers behind the trench unable to raise their heads, and the shooting in the woods also stopped.
But this was just the beginning. In the depression that the Japanese did not really pay attention to, ten thunder cannons had already been loaded. The angle was adjusted, and under the cover of the weeds, they opened their mouths and pointed them at the ground.
I felt that there were enough Japanese on the ground, so the two lurking artillery soldiers twisted the medicine they twisted together, and squatted among the weeds with their ears covered.
Mugu observed and felt that the enemy's field deployment was really ridiculous. There were more favorable soil hills that did not guard and ran to the crops to guard the trenches? Or the enemy was thinking of delaying time and taking a step back. The mound in the distance might be another short-term blocking position?
A continuous muffled sound suddenly came from the depression, and more than a dozen shell-shaped explosive packs suddenly flew up in the air, drew an arc of death in the sky. In the surprised and puzzled eyes of the Japanese, they fell on the small hill.
The violent explosion was like a burst of thunder, the smoke of gunpowder rolled up wildly, the soil that soared up, and dust flooded the hills and blocked people's sight. The earth shook violently in the explosion, and the smoke spreading in the air made the surrounding sky darken.
The improved standard thunderbolt is thickened and lengthened, and the diameter is reduced to 150mm, but its performance is greatly improved. It can send five kilograms of explosives, shells, and ten kilograms to more than three hundred meters.
What is the concept of five kilograms of explosives and how powerful is it? Just imagine that the charge of a grenade is only about fifty grams, and it can basically be converted.
Even if the accuracy is not as accurate as that of a professional artillery, it can be compensated by the range of killing. Basically, within a radius of fifteen meters of the explosion, even if it is not hit by shrapnel, it will be killed by the shock wave. Within thirty or fifty meters, it is very common to be shocked and deaf.
The smoke gradually dissipated, and there were no Japanese active on the grounds of the football field. Even the Japanese who were moving towards the grounds and were slightly away from them, including artillery soldiers and ammunition operators who operated mortars, were dizzy and dumb by the continuous explosions.
The battlefield was short and completely quiet. Although the "Imperial Army" on the ground were killed by the bomb, most of them were shocked and buried by the soil, and most of them would never hear the sound!
The loud charge sounded, and the soldiers who were shocked by the big explosion woke up and shouted and rushed out of the woods behind the trenches, running towards the hills. Hundreds of meters away, many soldiers were still a little disgusting by the trembling of the explosion.
The battle was short but not intense. Even if the Japanese on the Tugang survived, they were weak, deaf and dizzy, and lost most of their combat effectiveness. They were killed like chopping melons and vegetables. More than 20 Japanese on the Tugang protected the artillery and fled in panic, but they were just living for a while.
