I am God of War in Snow Leopard

Chapter 196 Lure the enemy to go deep

With just a salvo, the nine devils were all shot to death, and the out-of-control motorcycle kept crashing into the woods or bushes on both sides.

Regardless of cleaning the battlefield, Xu Qingfeng ordered the soldiers to stop shooting, retreated about one kilometer in the direction they came, and continued to lurk.

The sudden attack naturally alarmed the main force of the Japanese army behind.

The Japanese reinforcements on the eastern front came from the direction of Chuzhou, with a total strength of more than [-] troops.

It was originally a supplementary force prepared by the 13th Division of the Central China Front Army as the main offensive task for the front line.

After learning that the Sakamoto detachment attacking Hefei was surrounded, the Japanese military headquarters immediately transferred them for reinforcements.

Because the commander of this supplementary force was named Shanchuan Hairen, the Japanese army temporarily called this force the Yamakawa Wing.

When his leading group was ambushed by a heavy army of Huben regiment.

Colonel Shanchuan Hairen, the captain of the regiment, was riding a maroon horse, leading the troops on a hasty march with several accompanying adjutants and guards.

Facing the sudden gunshot, Colonel Yamakawa and the rest of his entourage couldn't help being taken aback.

Unanimously, they reined in their horses and stopped, first ordering the troops to stop advancing and prepare for battle.

Then two infantry squads were sent out to investigate the situation quickly.

Not long after, some of the two infantry teams sent out turned back.

A Japanese sergeant ran up to Shanchuanhairen in a panic, stood at attention and saluted: "Report to the captain, the vanguard team was ambushed and the entire army has been wiped out."

"Baga, where's the Chinese army that ambushed them?" Shanchuan Hairen was startled and asked immediately.

"Based on the situation at the ambush scene, he should have escaped." the Japanese soldier replied.

"Bagaya Road." Shanchuan Hairen was furious: "So, how many enemies are there, and you don't know anything?"

Guizi Juncao lowered his head in shame: "Yes, sir."

"Baga." Colonel Yamakawa was about to give the order for the two teams to continue searching.

A major staff officer next to him suddenly said: "Sir, it seems that the enemy has discovered our whereabouts, so they sent troops to stop us.

To be on the safe side, I suggest sending more troops to search and advance, and the main force to wait in place. "

Shanchuan Hairen nodded slightly, and immediately ordered: "Order the first brigade to search and move forward, and the rest of the troops stand by."

Soon, an infantry brigade that received the order, about 600 devils, broke away from the main team and continued to advance alone.

However, the more than 600 devils no longer advanced in a four-column march as before.

Instead, they spread out, formed skirmish lines, and advanced in battle formation.

During the advancing process, all the devils were highly nervous and extremely cautious.

The distance of one kilometer is not long, but when the devils are advancing in a battle formation and fully alert, it is a bit far.

A mere 1000 meters, they walked for a full 15 minutes.

Just when the devils thought that the ambushes of their pioneers were just a small group of troops, and they had already fled.

The officers and soldiers of the Huben Regiment, who had been waiting in the woods on both sides for a long time, suddenly opened fire again at Xu Qingfeng's order.

Countless hot bullets roared out from the woods and grass on both sides of the road like raindrops.

In an instant, a large number of casualties were caused to the Japanese who had just relaxed their vigilance.

Those devils who walked in the front and approached both sides of the road were the first to bear the brunt, and they were all sieved by a large number of bullets.

"Baga! There's still an ambush!" Some devil officers who led the team roared in surprise and anger.

The remaining Japanese wanted to fight back, but were completely suppressed because the Tiger Regiment took the lead.

The two sides fought for about ten minutes, and the Japanese Lieutenant Colonel who led the team was shot dead by Xu Qingfeng.

The devils, who had lost their commander and suffered heavy losses, retreated in panic.

The defeated devils retreated less than 500 meters before encountering the main force led by Shanchuan Hairen.

Hearing the firing of guns and artillery in front, the people in the mountains and seas naturally couldn't hold their breath and led the main force to come over for reinforcements.

As soon as they met, Colonel Shanchuan grabbed a second lieutenant officer who stumbled and ran to him and asked, "What's the matter? Why did you retreat so quickly?"

In Yamakawa's view, his first brigade has more than 1 people.

Even if the ambush troops in front cannot be defeated, it should not be a problem to persist for a period of time.

As a result, they collapsed after only 10 minutes.

And this is even if the Chinese army does not take advantage of the situation to pursue it. Otherwise, will it lead to a rout of our own main force?

When Second Lieutenant Guizi saw his highest officer, he calmed down as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.

Regardless of saluting, he said: "Sir, it's not good, our team leader was shot and died."

"What?" Yamakawa Osamu was taken aback: "Matsumoto-kun was shot?"

"Yes, sir!"

"What is the approximate strength of the Chinese army that ambushed you?" Shan Chuan asked sharply.

"Judging from the opponent's firepower, it should be no less than two regiments!" Second Lieutenant Guizi replied.

"Two regiments?" Colonel Shanchuan was startled. Although he had a regiment, he was waiting for work at ease.

The Major Chief of Staff next to him also realized the seriousness of the problem and immediately advised the people in Shanchuanhai: "Liant Commander, the enemy has a lot of troops, and we don't know other specific enemy situations. Don't advance rashly."

Shanchuan Hairen nodded solemnly, and immediately ordered: "Order the troops to retreat three kilometers to seize the commanding heights and build a temporary offensive position.

At the same time, send two more squadrons to disperse and reconnaissance the enemy. It is necessary to grasp the detailed information of the enemy in front of you as soon as possible. "

"Also, reconnoiter the nearby terrain and see if there are any suitable routes for a roundabout attack."

On Shanchuan Hairen's side, they were busy arranging troops to respond.

On the Huben regiment's side, Xu Qingfeng also sent some officers and soldiers of the reconnaissance company to secretly monitor the movements of the Japanese army.

Not long after the meeting, Wang Changgui, commander of the reconnaissance company, ran through the dense forest on the roadside and ran back to Xu Qingfeng. He stood at attention and saluted: "Report to the regiment that the Japanese have retreated."

"Retired?" A guard platoon leader who was following Xu Qingfeng exclaimed in surprise.

"That's right, we retreated, a total of three or four kilometers." Wang Changgui said.

"Is the devil scared by us?" the guard platoon leader said.

"It can be considered." Xu Qingfeng said very firmly: "After all, to them, we belong to the unknown enemy. If we attack rashly and encounter a bigger ambush, it will be troublesome."

As he said that, Xu Qingfeng changed his voice: "However, the devils will soon find out the situation and launch a real attack on us.

This time will not be too long, half an hour at most. "

After saying this, Xu Qingfeng turned to Wang Changgui and said: "Send someone immediately to notify the chief of staff and ask them to speed up repairs and arrange the ambush position. The sooner the better."

"Yes!" Wang Changgui accepted the order happily and immediately sent a scout in the direction.

"Tuan Zuo, in fact, with the strength of our first battalion, guard company, and reconnaissance company, even if the devils attack in an all-out way, it shouldn't be a problem to block them for an hour or two, right?"

After sending someone to take orders to leave, Wang Changgui turned around and said to Xu Qingfeng.

Xu Qingfeng nodded and said: "That's right, we can block the devils for an hour or two, or even longer.

But this is bound to cause a lot of unnecessary casualties, after all, we don't have time to build a blocking position.

This is not in line with our original combat goal. We have only one purpose, to defeat the devil reinforcements one by one through ambush warfare, and at the same time temper the recruits at the smallest cost.

And most importantly, the pressure Lin Baoguo and Chen Qifeng faced must also be taken into consideration.

They only have 500 people, but they have to resist the attack of [-] Japanese troops. The pressure can be imagined.

Therefore, the sooner our side ends the battle, the sooner we can return to the division to reinforce the Western Front. "

Wang Changgui nodded again and again, so he didn't say any more.

Soon, the devils of the two squadrons got into the woods on the roadside, and spread out in a reconnaissance team of three or five people. With the cover of the woods and bushes, they launched an attack on the ambush troops of the Huben regiment and the surrounding terrain. Full reconnaissance.

Faced with this kind of penetrating reconnaissance by the Japanese, Xu Qingfeng had no other choice but to order the first battalion, the guard company, and the reconnaissance company to stop the attack with all their strength.

Although the devils did not have as many troops as before, they were well prepared, so it would be impossible for the ambush troops of the Huben Regiment led by Xu Qingfeng to cause a large number of casualties as they did before.

Through the exchange of fire, the devils quickly grasped the general situation of the ambush troops on the Huben regiment.

And sent someone back quickly, and reported the above to the commander of Shanchuan Hairen who had led the main force of more than 2000 Japanese troops and was ready to fight.

"General, the firepower of the ambush troops of the Chinese Army in front is indeed fierce, but they don't seem to have had time to build many defenses.

What's more, relying on trees and rocks, they exchanged fire with us.

Moreover, we also found that this group of Chinese ambush troops did not seem to have heavy firepower. Therefore, as long as we attack with the main force, we should be able to defeat them quickly. "

After listening to the reports of his subordinates, Shanchuan Hairen immediately felt relieved.

Immediately ordered: "The second infantry brigade listened to the order and immediately launched an attack from the front, and the first and third infantry brigades served as reserve teams.

Artillery squadron for artillery cover! "

"Hai!" Several Japanese majors and captains present responded in unison.

About 5 minutes later, more than 2 Japanese infantrymen of the 600nd Infantry Brigade, led by a major captain, formed an offensive formation and launched an attack along the road and the woods on both sides toward the ambush position of the Tiger Regiment.

Behind them, six [-]-type infantry guns roared at the same time.

One after another, the shells were smashed into the area where the ambush troops led by Xu Qingfeng and Sun Kui were located.

Boom boom boom... There were explosions one after another, and one after another fell in the woods and exploded violently.

The raging explosion shock wave engulfed shrapnel, and some civil debris flew around, causing a lot of casualties to the blocking troops of the Huben regiment.

However, this situation did not last long.

As more than 2 Japanese troops from the 600nd Infantry Battalion rushed over, a fierce exchange of fire broke out between the two sides.

For fear of accidental injury, the devil's artillery fire stopped completely after extending for a while.

As mentioned before, the first battalion, guard company, and reconnaissance company together have a total strength of more than 640 people.

The first two firefights were mainly ambushes, and the devils suffered a lot of losses, but the Huben regiment suffered few casualties.

The only casualties mainly came from the Japanese shelling just now.

Therefore, when the two sides are really fighting fiercely with swords and guns.

In the hands of Xu Qingfeng and Sun Kui, there are still more than 600 people, not less than the devils in terms of strength.

The only shortcoming is that the new recruits lack combat experience and their shooting accuracy is not as good as that of the Japanese.

But fortunately, the Shanchuan Wing was not originally a front-line field force of the Japanese army, but a supplementary wing formed by mobilizing reserve personnel from the mainland.

Its combat capability is far inferior to the main ace troops of the first batch of Japanese troops who landed.

However, there are some veterans such as Xu Qingfeng and Sun Kui in the Huben Regiment, which has a great boosting effect on the morale of the new recruits.

In addition, Xu Qingfeng personally has a super strong sniper ability, and he can shoot every shot on the battlefield without missing a shot.

In a short time, they killed several Japs front-line commanders who were leading the charge, severely damaging the Japs' offensive momentum.

It also greatly increased the recruits' confidence and gradually adapted to the intensity of the battlefield.

Therefore, the battle between the two sides did not appear to be one-sided, but fought back and forth, gradually becoming anxious.

At this time, the benefits of Xu Qingfeng's dedicated shooting practice at all costs in the past two months were slowly manifested.

After the first battalion, reconnaissance company, and guard company recruits gradually adapted to the rhythm and intensity of the battle.

The shooting skills and various touches they had mastered in previous training began to gradually return.

The bullets are getting more and more accurate, and the hit rate is getting higher and higher.

We all know that good shooters are fed by bullets.

Over the past month or so, Xu Qingfeng had invested unstintingly in his new recruits, and at this moment he had reaped huge rewards.

The casualties of the Japs were increasing. When Xu Qingfeng once again killed the Major Captain led by the Japs.

The Japanese army, which had suffered heavy casualties, could no longer withstand the pressure, and began to flee back again.

Seeing his troops retreating again, Shan Chuan Hai was so angry that he almost vomited blood!

Before, it was because the enemy's situation was unknown, and the enemy was caught off guard, and the defeat was defeated.

Now that everything is clear, the two sides set up their battles and fought in a serious firefight, but they were still defeated?
It just doesn't make sense!Regardless of taking a rest, Shanchuan Hairen directly pulled out his saber, and ordered the 3rd Battalion and the 1st Battalion who were waiting behind him: "Your two brigades, attack all at once. This time, we must defeat the Chinese army in front and get through The way for our department to reinforce the Sakamoto detachment! Kill Gaga!"

"Hay!" Several devil officers bowed their heads at the same time to take orders, and immediately rushed forward with more than 1000 main troops.

"Kill Gaga!" The Japanese officers, who were almost avenged, waved their sabers and sternly ordered to urge the charge.
