The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 238 What is this tactic?

"Boom, boom, boom, boom."

The high-explosive explosive exploded violently, and clusters of huge fireballs rose from the road. These fireballs were connected to form a bright long dragon.This burning dragon devoured the black dragon formed by the Devils convoy.

After the explosion, many cars were blown to pieces and ignited a raging fire.

The power of the high-explosives was so violent that the directly hit car and the devils on it were directly destroyed.

The only pity is that the high explosives carried by Gao Jiu and the others are limited, and the time to bury the explosives is too short.The load capacity of cars in this era was generally very small, and the military trucks equipped by the Japanese army at this time had a load capacity of only one and a half tons.A truck can carry up to 20 people.Therefore, the devil's motorcade lined up very long, and this violent explosion was only a few hundred meters long, swallowing 1/3 of the long queue of devil's cars.
Even so, more than 500 devils were killed or injured.

As the explosion sounded, Wang Zhankui and others fired violently at the devil engineers who had filled the trenches.

Wang Zhankui's cavalry battalion is no longer the traditional cavalry fighting hand-to-hand with sabers, they are now a mobile firepower point.

This reinforced platoon brought by Wang Zhankui is his most elite direct line unit, equipped with two mortars and eight light machine guns.With just a sweep of eight light machine guns, dozens of devil engineers and some devil soldiers in charge of guards, who were already panicked by the explosion, were immediately swept to the ground.

Also just after the explosion, the Taohuashan Special Forces launched a fierce attack on the devils on the road at the same time.

The 12 combat teams plus the brigade headed by Gao Jiu had a total of 18 light machine guns and 16 mortars, and they fired fiercely at the devils on the road!The ghosts caught off guard suffered heavy casualties.

Gao Jiu felt a little regretful, if Jiang Xiaomei's independent battalion was here at this time, they could definitely go all out and eat up all these devils.It's a pity that Jiang Xiaomei's independent battalion couldn't get here in time due to the rush of time.They could only go to the junction of Yu County and Pingyue County to intercept the devil's retreat.

Most of the devils in the 115th Wing of the Japanese Army are veterans with rich combat experience, and the leader of the [-]th Wing, Yazaki Setzo, is a battle-hardened fighter.After a brief panic, they immediately began to organize a counterattack.A large number of devils got out of the car, fired in the direction of the flames of the muzzles of the special forces, and at the same time charged forward, expanding the area controlled by the Japanese army.

Part of the devil's strengthened machine gun squadron jumped off the truck, and part of it opened fire directly on top of the truck.

The Devil Artillery Commander organized the artillery to set up artillery, ready to use artillery fire to hit the enemy severely.

The 115th Wing itself carried a lot of mortars, and this time it specially strengthened a mortar squadron.There is no such establishment as a special mortar squadron in the Japanese army.These mortars were drawn from other units, and their number of mortars and personnel was equivalent to the size of an artillery squadron of the Japanese army.

The devils were very well prepared this time, because they knew that the terrain inside Taohua Mountain was complicated, and large artillery could not enter the mountain at all, so they brought so many mortars.

However, when the devils set up their mortars, they realized that the surrounding fields were completely silent, and they couldn't see anything clearly because of the black holes.The enemy who had fired fiercely just now suddenly disappeared.

The devil's artillery commander didn't know what to do for a while, so he looked at the regimental captain Yazaki Setzo, waiting for his order.

Setzo Yazaki ordered to fire. He held up the binoculars and observed the shelling in the darkness.

The devil's artillery fired a row of shells "Tong, Tong, Tong" towards the place where the fire flashed in the darkness just now.

The explosion of the cannonballs flashed clusters of light in the distant darkness, and then went out.

Setzo Yazaki, not seeing the attackers, ordered the shelling to stop.He continued to observe with the telescope for a while, but still did not find any movement.

A few minutes later, there was a faint flicker of fire in the distance, and then there was the characteristic sharp whistling sound of mortar shells piercing the air in the sky.

16 mortar shells exploded around the road, and then two rows of 16 shells flew in a row, exploding violently.

Although the devils were lying on the ground, these mortar shells still caused them a lot of casualties, and many vehicles and mortars of the devils were destroyed.

This time the enemy's shelling was hundreds of meters away, and the devil's machine guns and rifles couldn't reach them, so they had to use mortars to fight back.They fired another volley of shells in the direction where the enemy's muzzle flashed.

However, after the explosion of the shells, the ground was still dark and silent. Obviously, their counterattacks had no effect, and the enemy had already disappeared.

Not long after, 48 mortar shells flew over from different places.

This was a tactic that Gao Jiu and the others had researched in advance. It was easy to judge the location of the devils, they were near the highway.After each combat team fired three shells, they immediately moved their positions on horseback, without giving the Devils artillery any time to counterattack.

After they ran hundreds of meters, they continued to shoot at the devils, each time after three rapid fires, they shifted their positions again.

In this way, the devils were completely passively beaten, and their casualties continued to increase.

The brigade headed by Gao Jiu adopted the same tactics.The power of the four mortars they carried even surpassed the 12 mortars of the 12 combat teams.Because the platoon artillery of those combat teams can only judge the approximate position of the devil.Gao Jiu has the function of infrared night vision. He can see the place where the devils gather. He directs four mortars to hit that place accurately, causing a lot of damage to the devils.After firing three rapid-fire shots, they also immediately mounted their horses and moved their positions.

Where did Setzo Yazaki fight such a battle?They are being beaten here, and they don't even know where the enemy is.When the enemy hits them accurately, the shells seem to have eyes.

Setzo Yazaki was about to cry, he knew that going on like this was not an option, and he had to quickly change the situation of being passively beaten.

He is not familiar with the terrain ahead, nor does he know the specific situation of the enemy, so it is unrealistic to attack blindly.He decided to organize the troops to move in immediately, first to get rid of the enemy's attack.He ordered the convoy to turn around and return the same way.

The devil soldiers climbed into the car in a panic and started to turn around.The country roads here are very narrow, and it is not easy for cars to turn around.Fortunately, there are flat wheat fields beside the road, and the devil's cars are making U-turns in the wheat fields in a mess.

At this moment, more mortar shells flew over again.The special operators had already seen the devils' vehicles turning around and fleeing. At this time, the devil's artillery could not fight back.They simply stopped moving their positions and fired the shells with all their might.

Wang Zhankui and the others were not idle either, and their mortars also fired randomly at the middle of the devils' convoy. The devils' formation was so dense that it was not easy to miss them.

Shells kept exploding, and devils' cars were constantly being hit.Even if the shell explodes next to the car, it can cause damage to the car and cause casualties to the devils in the car.

Setsan Yazaki didn't care so much, his car was short and easy to turn around, and he took the lead and rushed out in the direction he came from.

Seeing that the devil had escaped, Gao Jiu's special forces and Wang Zhankui's cavalry mounted their horses and launched a pursuit.

After this stage of fighting, the casualties of the devils have reached more than [-] people, which is only half of the number left at the time of departure.

Yazaki Setzo had never fought such a useless battle. He kept cursing: "Bageya Road, Bageya Road. These damned bandits! They only conduct sneak attacks and have no samurai spirit at all. Bageya Road , a well-connected Bageya Road."

Hamada Yoshitoshi regrets it very much now, it seems that Sakai Toichiro's suspicion is justified, Gao Jiu really got the news.Hamada Yoshito also thought of this, but he didn't expect that Gao Jiu and the others not only did not escape after receiving the news, but instead ran so far to attack them.

Yoshito Hamada's eyelids twitched wildly, this time he became alert.He seemed to realize that there was some danger in his mind, and it was gradually approaching.However, Setzo Yazaki kept cursing beside him, always interrupting his train of thought.

Hamada Yoshihito said impatiently: "Yazaki-kun, you are the supreme commander, keep calm."

Yoshito Hamada's reminder really made Yazaki Setzo stop cursing.He was full of anger at this time, because he believed that the reason why the 115th Regiment was in such a mess was all due to Hamada Yoshitoshi and their special high school. This shit plan they made made him brave and invincible. The 115th Wing suffered such a setback.

Just as he was about to curse Hamada Yoshito, he heard Hamada Yoshito say: "Quickly pull over and stop."

The driver suddenly stopped the car on the side of the road.

Setzo Yazaki was desperately running away, he wished he could run as fast as possible, when he saw Hamada Yoshito called to stop, his anger finally broke out.

"Eight pressures, Yoshito Hamada, what do you mean, do you want to stay here and seek death?" Setzo Yazaki cursed angrily.

Hamada Yoshihito ignored him, staring closely at the front.

Yazaki Setzo saw Hamada Yoshito's weird look, stopped cursing again, and followed his gaze to stare ahead.

After a while, I heard a loud explosion in front of me.It turned out that when the battle was raging just now, Zhang Quan took several special forces members to the back of the devil's convoy, planted some explosives on the road, and blew up the devil's leading trucks. Blocked the devil's way.

Yoshishi Hamada is a very calm person. The first violent explosion left a deep impression on him, and he felt that the vehicle running ahead was extremely dangerous.He thought that since the enemy was able to plant explosives on the way forward, it was very likely that they would also carry out the same ambush on the way they retreated.It was too much of a risk for him to see his car run to the front.So he parked the car on the side of the road and let the other cars go ahead.In case of an explosion, their car would not be able to be bombed.

Seeing the violent explosion ahead, Setzo Yazaki couldn't help but secretly rejoice.He glanced at Hamada Yoshito gratefully, and his anger towards him subsided temporarily.

The devil's convoy stopped on the road again, 12 special operations squads, plus the brigade headed by Gao Jiu and Wang Zhankui's cavalry, 14 teams surrounded and bombarded again.

The current devils have already been beaten into a fool. They are no longer the arrogant and invincible 115th Regiment, but a group of rabble who just want to escape.The devil's car, which was not destroyed by the bombing, rammed through the wheat field, turned onto the intact road ahead, and continued to flee forward.

The so-called darkness before dawn is the darkest time of the day. The devils can't see the road clearly, so they can only turn on the headlights and run forward at full speed.

The special operators could see clearly, they chased after the car on their horses, and kept shooting.

The devils also fought back from the truck, and the special forces members also began to suffer casualties.

A special forces member beside Gao Jiu was shot in the head and died on the spot.

Seeing this situation, Gao Jiu ordered the signal soldiers around him to fire a signal bomb into the sky according to the prior agreement.

Seeing the signal flare, all the special operations teams stopped shooting and just followed the devil's convoy.

Hamada Yoshihiro and Yazaki Setzo who were in the car didn't see the flare, they stopped when they heard the gunshots, and secretly rejoiced in their hearts, feeling that they had finally got rid of those hateful pursuers.

The fact that the special forces members and Wang Zhankui's cavalry stopped firing did not mean that Gao Jiu was also idle.

Gao Jiu rode a fast horse, followed the devil's convoy on the side of the road, galloping through the wheat fields.He came to a distance of 80 meters from Devil Seven, took out a grenade from his backpack, bumped the Browning pistol on his waist, and threw it towards the last truck in the Devil convoy.

The grenade flew silently in the night sky for a moment, then fell directly into the truck compartment.

With a "boom", the high temperature, powerful shock wave, shattered shrapnel and huge sound waves formed by the explosion of the grenade directly destroyed the devil's truck and all the people on it.

The devils on the military vehicle in front of the devil's car saw this situation, and they shot randomly into the darkness, not knowing where the attacker was.

Soon, another grenade flew over and flew into the compartment of what is now the last truck, and the devils in this truck were also reimbursed.

Gao Jiu followed the devil's convoy, constantly destroying the last car.

The ghost soldiers on the truck at the end of the line saw this scene, and they were also anxious. They beat the driver's cab desperately to let the driver rush through the wheat field, so as to avoid being at the end of the line and being killed by the attackers.

Gao Jiu is a very principled person, he doesn't care so much, he just keeps hitting the devil on the last car.

The devil's long convoy was like a long centipede, cut by Gao Jiu one by one.

It was too dark, Gao Jiu had excellent eyesight at night, he controlled the horse, and was able to cross the complex terrain in the wheat field with ease.The other special forces members couldn't keep up, and they gradually distanced themselves from Gao Jiu.

Gao Jiu chased the devil's convoy alone, attacking the devil's vehicle at the end of the convoy.Soon, the grenades he brought ran out.

Gao Jiu reined in the horse and waited for the special forces members behind to come up.Not long after, several special forces members chased after them. Gao Jiu took a lot of grenades from them, put them into the backpack on his back, and continued to chase towards the devil's convoy.

The car that Yazaki Setzo and Hamada Yoshito were riding in was driving slightly in front of the convoy. They heard the constant explosions behind them and couldn't figure out the situation.Perhaps the communication soldier was dead, and without the communication soldier coming to report, they did not dare to stop to observe, and continued to flee forward with their heads covered.

5:30. The sky turned pale, and the sight was slightly better.

Setzo Yazaki and Yoshito Hamada calmed down a bit. They knew that the number of attackers was small, but it was only at night, and they could not deal with them.As long as it is dawn, they can clearly see where the attackers are, and they can deal them a heavy blow.

During this period of time, it happened that Gao Jiu had no more grenades in his hands, Yazaki Setzo and Hamada Yoshimi could no longer hear the explosion, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief, they thought they should have thrown off the attackers.

It makes sense for them to think so. Cars burn oil and are not afraid of fatigue.The attackers rode war horses, which could not withstand long runs.

Sure enough, after running forward for about 20 minutes, Setzo Yazaki and Yoshito Hamada never heard gunshots or explosions again.

Yazaki Setzo thought he was right and ordered a stop on the side of the road.

As the visibility outside became higher and higher, Setzo Yazaki picked up the binoculars and first looked at the rear of the convoy.Seeing this, he was terrified—less than 1/3 of the original long convoy was left.It is not necessary to count the casualties, but one can know that out of the mighty more than 500 people who came out of Jinan, there are only about 500 left.

He really did not expect that the casualties would be so large.These officers and soldiers followed him to fight in the north and south, and established a deep relationship with each other. Such heavy casualties made Setzo Yazaki's distressed eyes darken.

Yoshito Hamada also held up his binoculars to observe, he didn't care about the casualties of these devils, he didn't know these people, and he had no relationship with them.He looked back and saw many people riding horses chasing him in the distance.

He hurriedly said: "Go! The enemy is chasing us." After speaking, Hamada Yoshito jumped into the car.

Yazaki Setzo also saw the figure of the pursuer, and he was not in the mood to be emotional anymore. He immediately climbed into the car, urged the driver to drive, and drove forward quickly.

The soldiers of the Independence Battalion led by Jiang Xiaomei and Yang Jiong finally entered the ambush position after more than three hours of rapid march.They waited in the position for about half an hour, and the sky was getting brighter, but there were still no traces of the devils ahead.

The Chief of Staff of the Independent Battalion, Huang Shuigen, had never directly fought with Gao Jiu. Although he had heard of Gao Jiu's many legendary achievements, he still had doubts about Gao Jiu letting the Independent Battalion set up an ambush here.

He believes that the devils are a strengthened brigade of more than 1500 people, and Gao Jiu and others are only one hundred and ten people. It is unlikely that the devils can be forced to return along the same route.However, seeing Jiang Xiaomei, Yang Jiong, and the soldiers of the Independence Battalion full of confidence, he couldn't say anything.

He picked up the binoculars and looked hard, his eyes were sore, but he still couldn't see the ghost.He finally couldn't help asking: "Battle Commander, Political Commissar. Will the devils pass by here?"
