The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 905
The brigade commander of the Japanese army couldn't care less about waiting for a reply from his superiors. Now the bombers and powerful bombs of the Taohuashan guerrillas have helped them make a decision.

They immediately ordered the rear team to change to the front team, returned the same way, and ran into the forest.

The brigade commander of the Japanese army looked at the towering trees covering the sky and the sun around him, and felt relieved.At this moment, a telegram from the superior came, agreeing to change the marching route.

The 279th Brigade of the Japanese Army continued to march after a rest.They crossed the high mountains and walked slowly through the dense forest.

The reconnaissance team of the Taohuashan guerrillas still closely monitored their actions and reported to Gao Jiu at any time.

According to the report of the reconnaissance team, Gao Jiu checked the map and determined the marching route of the Japanese reinforcements.

The marching routes chosen by the Japanese army are basically dense forests. It is very difficult to carry out air strikes on them here, but it is not impossible.

After carefully checking the map, he returned a telegram to the scouting team.

For two full days, the 279th Brigade of the Japanese Army was not bombed by enemy planes, and the brigade leader finally relaxed.At this time, the vanguard troops in front reported that they had to pass through the Pava River Valley ahead, where the river was deep and the current was swift.There is no way to cross the river without building a bridge.

If you want to wade across the river, you must march 33 kilometers downstream, where there is a shoal where troops can cross the river.

The chief of staff checked the map carefully and found that there was an open area of ​​more than 3 kilometers in the shallows.The Japanese army wanted to cross the river, and it would take at least two hours to pass through this open area here.

He said with some concern: "Your Excellency, brigade commander, crossing the river from the lower reaches, our troops will still be exposed to open areas. If the enemy comes to bomb again, it will definitely cause serious losses."

The head of the brigade also took a closer look at the map, and said, "It can't be such a coincidence, can it?"

The Chief of Staff said: "Your Excellency, Commander of the Brigade, this is not a coincidence. I believe that our actions must have been under the surveillance of the enemy, otherwise, we would not have been bombed by the enemy last time. I am sure, As long as our troops appear at the wading point, they will definitely be attacked by enemy air."

The brigade leader thought for a while and said: "There is no other way now. The troops must cross the river from the downstream. We can use the method of crossing the river in batches. Even if the enemy planes come to bomb, the losses will be very small."

The chief of staff thought that the brigade commander made sense, and he said: "Your Excellency, the brigade commander, is wise. Let's arrange troops to cross the river this time, and only send one squadron-sized troop at a time. If a large number of enemy planes follow, it will not cause any serious problems." casualties. I believe that after this time, the enemy troops may not come to bomb again. I don’t believe how long they can continue to do this kind of loss-making business.”

Hearing the compliment from the chief of staff, the brigade commander smiled smugly, and said, "Immediately order the troops to move downstream."

After a difficult march in the dense forest, the Japanese army finally came to the trekking point downstream.The water surface here is wide, and the deepest part is only more than 40 centimeters.An infantry squadron, the vanguard of the Japanese army, first tentatively began to cross the river.

The officers and soldiers of the Japanese army held their guns and looked around carefully while crossing the river. There was dense vegetation in front of them, and they couldn't see anything.

Just as the officers and soldiers of the Japanese army walked to the middle of the river, dense bullets were suddenly fired from the dense grass on the other side of the river.A dozen Japanese soldiers fell into the river on the spot, and the rest of the Japanese officers and soldiers retreated to the other side of the river in a panic.

The head of the brigade took a telescope and carefully observed the other side of the river.He saw enemy troops in the bushes on the opposite side, and immediately ordered the artillery to bombard the opposite bank.

The artillerymen of the Japanese army set up the artillery and prepared to fire after calculating the shooting. However, they could no longer see the enemy at this time, so they could only blindly shell towards the place where the enemy appeared just now.

After the violent shelling, there was no visible effect, but the valley returned to tranquility.The brigade commander thought that the enemy might have been scared away, and again ordered a squadron of infantry to cross the river.

The officers and soldiers of the Japanese army looked around cautiously with their guns in hand, ready to fight back as soon as they found an enemy attack.

These Japanese officers and soldiers were very nervous. They were looking forward to the shelling just now, which would really drive away the enemy troops who came to attack. They hoped that Aunt Tian Zhao would bless them and prevent them from being attacked by the enemy again.

However, Aunt Tian Zhao didn't work. When the officers and soldiers of the Japanese army waded to the middle of the river, several Japanese soldiers lay silently lying in the middle of the river.

There was no gunfire, but the officers and soldiers of the Japanese army kept falling down.

The soldiers of the Japanese army were also very experienced. They shouted in horror: "There are enemy snipers."

They were right. The Taohuashan guerrillas had deliberately exposed their positions just now to lure the enemy to bombard them.

They had already dispersed to other places before the enemy's shelling, and each found a favorable terrain to hide.When the Japanese army crossed the river again, they fought on their own, reaping the lives of Japanese officers and soldiers with sniper rifles equipped with silencers.

The officers and soldiers of the Japanese army were inconvenient to move in the river, and they were purely living targets.The guerrilla snipers seized the time and fired continuously. In a very short period of time, half of an infantry squadron of the Japanese army was reimbursed.

The remaining Japanese soldiers ran back desperately, but no matter how fast they ran, they could not catch up with the bullets of the sniper rifles. By the time the Japanese officers and soldiers ran back to the river bank, there were less than 20 people left.

"Eight Yalu, eight Yalu." The brigade commander of the Japanese army roared angrily. After he roared, he raised his binoculars to look forward again, and all he saw were dense bushes and thatch, what? Can't see it either.

He has rich combat experience and knows that in this situation, he has nothing to do with the enemy's snipers. If he forces soldiers to cross the river, he doesn't know how many people will be killed or injured.

The chief of staff is also thinking about countermeasures. He suggested: "Your Excellency, brigade commander, you can no longer send troops to forcefully cross the river. I suggest sending two small troops to the upstream and downstream to find another place to cross the river, and then face the other side of the river. The enemy troops on the other side will start outflanking. After the enemy troops on the other side are wiped out or driven away, the large forces will cross the river."

The head of the brigade nodded and said: "I'm afraid that's the only way to go. Order the troops to rest in place, and order the Yamaguchi Regiment to send two infantry squadrons to detour across the river to eliminate the enemy snipers on the other side."

The Japanese army temporarily stopped crossing the river, but the Taohuashan guerrillas on the other side were not idle.They unloaded the 107mm rocket from the horseback, moved a few stones, erected the rocket on it, and fired it directly.

More than a dozen rockets flew over, causing a lot of casualties to the Japanese army.One of the rockets landed not far from the head of the Japanese brigade, killing his adjutant and several guards.

The head of the brigade had no choice but to order the troops to retreat again and entered the dense forest behind.

On the other side of the river, blocking the Japanese army was a detachment of the Taohuashan guerrilla team, with more than 40 members.

They guessed that the enemy would definitely send troops to attack them by detour, so they sent two squads of soldiers to serve as guards on both sides.

A squadron of Japanese soldiers crossed the river from the upstream where the water level was relatively shallow. The river here was still deep. The flow rate is fast, and people are a little unstable in the river.

In order to ensure that they would not be washed away by the river, the soldiers took off their leggings and tied them with ropes around their waists so that if someone fell, others could quickly pull him up.

In this way, the Japanese soldiers tied each other and walked into the river one by one.

The guerrillas ambushing on the river bank smiled contemptuously, and they attacked the Japanese army with sniper rifles again.

Soldiers of the Japanese army kept falling down. The Japanese soldiers were terrified and hurried to flee back to the other side of the river, but they were tied up with ropes. As the saying goes, no one can escape the grasshoppers on a rope. He was shot dead in the river by guerrilla snipers.

What happened to the Japanese infantry squadron downstream trying to cross the river was basically the same. In this way, apart from losing some troops, the Japanese army had no choice but to sigh in the face of the river.

The brigade commander of the Japanese army had no choice but to report the situation here to his superiors again, and then waited for his superiors' instructions.

The leader of the guerrilla team saw that the Japanese army had not moved for a long time, so he decided to take the initiative to attack and show some color to the little devils.He left most of the guerrillas on the other side of the river, and led a squad of guerrillas to the upper reaches of the river. They walked about 3 kilometers upstream and then crossed the river.

The guerrillas who crossed the river moved towards the direction of the large Japanese army. They were wearing camouflage uniforms and it was difficult to be found in the dense forest.The khaki military uniforms of the Japanese army were easy to distinguish. Soon after, the guerrillas discovered the traces of the Japanese army, and then they began to attack the Japanese army.

The Japanese army did not expect that the enemy would come here to attack them. They were caught off guard, and more than a dozen soldiers were killed or injured on the spot.

However, the commander of the Japanese army was very experienced, and he quickly judged that the enemy's strength was small, and it should be a small group of enemy snipers.Immediately they dispatched two infantry squadrons, and the soldiers dispersed and rushed in the direction of the guerrilla attack.

The commandos were hiding in the dense forest, wearing camouflage uniforms, and the sniper rifles in their hands were equipped with silencers. Their movements were almost silent, and it was difficult for the enemy to find them.However, it was difficult for the officers and soldiers of the Japanese army to hide their figures, and they were knocked to the ground one by one by the guerrillas.

The officers and soldiers of the Japanese army could not see the enemy or hear the gunshots, so they were knocked down one by one.In their eyes, the dense jungle in front of them seemed like a monster, with its bloody mouth wide open, ready to swallow them up at any time.

The soldiers were all terrified. Although they didn't retreat, they only dared to lie on the ground and didn't even dare to fire their guns, for fear that the enemy would find them.

Seeing this situation, the leader of the guerrilla team decided to drive the rabbits to get the devil soldiers to move.

So they used a mortar they brought to bombard the Japanese army in front.

Sure enough, many of the Japanese soldiers who encountered shelling panicked and began to flee backwards.Their figures were once again exposed to the sniper rifles of the Taohuashan guerrillas, and many soldiers were knocked down again.

The officers and soldiers of the Japanese army couldn't bear such a horrible and hopeless battle, and they began to retreat.But they didn't dare to stand up and run away, but slowly crawled back on the ground towards the direction they came from.

After driving away the enemy troops here, the team leader still felt unsatisfied, so he took the special forces and went around to attack the Japanese army in other places.

After walking through the dense forest for a period of time, the special forces team found traces of the enemy in the dense forest.The squad leader saw a large group of Japanese officers and soldiers sitting on the grass in front of him, and a radio station was set up on a rock, and several Japanese officers were sitting beside the radio station.

After he picked up the binoculars and observed carefully, he found that there was a major general officer of the Japanese army among those Japanese troops. There was no doubt that he was the brigade commander of the Japanese army, because there was only one major general in a brigade of the Japanese army.

The team leader was overjoyed when he saw such a prey.He raised his sniper rifle, held his breath, carefully aimed at the Japanese brigade commander, and gently pulled the trigger.

The brigade commander of the Japanese army was talking to the chief of staff. At this time, his back was facing the direction of the squad leader.In order to show respect to the brigade chief, the chief of staff always looked at the brigade chief when he was speaking.

After a long time, he felt that his eyes were a little tired and blinked from time to time.

When he blinked again, he found that the head of the brigade in front of him suddenly had a blood hole in his forehead. He was so shocked that he forgot to dodge for a while.

By the time he realized that it was an enemy sniper shooting and was about to lie on the ground to hide, it was too late, a bullet shot into his back and came out from his chest.He looked at the blood spurting from his chest in disbelief, rolled his eyes, and lay down on the ground.

The leader of the guerrilla team knew that this time he had stabbed a hornet's nest. After he shot, he immediately led the guerrillas to evacuate the same way without hesitation.

The head of the brigade and the chief of staff were killed one after another. The officers and soldiers of the Japanese army who served as cover missions went crazy. revenge.

The squad leader of the guerrilla team led the guerrillas to retreat while fighting, and the officers and soldiers of the Japanese army were shot and fell down continuously. The tragic scene finally made the crazy Japanese officers and soldiers wake up, and they knew that they were not those hateful enemies at all. sniper opponents, they were forced to fall back again.
