Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 152 The Japanese Army Plan
After staying up for nearly an hour, the Japanese and puppet soldiers finally left the village and approached Yilian as if they were showing off their might.

"God has eyes, the devils didn't arrest people, we won't have so many scruples when we fight later!" Li Yunshan, the company commander, said very gratefully.

"You bastards, you've finally come out! Company Commander, are you going to kill them according to the old rules!" the first platoon leader asked with bright eyes.

Li Yunshan affirmed: "The old rule is to beat the devils and puppet army officers first, and then force the rest of the Imperial Association Army to surrender!"

"Papa..." Li Yunshan raised his pistol and fired the first shot of the entire ambush battle, followed by the sound of popping beans on the battlefield.

Under the attack of four crooked handles and more than 100 rifles, more than 20 people in devils' uniforms fell to the road on the spot and died.

After a round of guns, a company with sufficient ammunition immediately fired freely, focusing on the devils on the road.

But soon Li Yunshan realized something was wrong: "No, there is a problem with the puppet army on the road!"

"It's impossible for the puppet army to have such a fast reaction speed. It must be the little devil in disguise. Comrades, no matter whether the enemy is a puppet army or a little devil, kill them all!"

"Papa papa!" While speaking, more than 100 mixed Japanese and puppet troops had begun to fight back.

The real puppet army was slightly better. Although they fought back desperately, it was difficult for the whizzing bullets to hit the target.

The ghosts hiding in the middle of the team are different. Their precise marksmanship allows them to hit an Eighth Route Army with every bullet they shoot.

People around Li Yunshan were constantly headshot by devils, and then fell down on the mountain ridge screaming.

"Don't be afraid, shoot with all your strength. Machine gunner, suppress the machine guns of the Japanese and puppet troops. The small artillery squad will fire immediately. Whether it's puppet soldiers or devils, let me blow up where there are many people, disrupt them, and fire quickly!"

Fortunately, one of the mixed Japanese and puppet troops has not changed. No matter what military uniform they wear, machine gunners carrying machine guns and grenadiers carrying grenadiers are always the key targets of the independent regiment on the battlefield.

Therefore, even though many people were wearing the uniform of the Imperial Association Army, they were still killed immediately.

Then during the battle, all Japanese and puppet troops who wanted to get close to these heavy weapons were shot and killed regardless of their identities.

Without crooked handles and grenadiers to participate in the battle, the pressure on the company was much lower, but the casualties continued to increase under the counterattack of the Japanese riflemen.

The troops who were still full of confidence just now began to panic because of the increasing number of casualties.

Fortunately, the grenade fired at this time.

"Boom boom boom..." Three explosions sounded on the road, killing eight or nine Japanese and puppet troops on the spot.

"Good bombing, continue to fire, bombing places where there are many people!" Li Yunshan, the company commander, ordered loudly with red eyes.

After firing five rounds of fifteen grenades in a row, the situation on the battlefield began to develop in a direction favorable to the company at noon.

A company that lost nearly one platoon completely surrounded the remaining Japanese and puppet troops.

Of course, the remaining more than 60 Japanese and puppet troops were not without room to fight back. They were all scattered and hid in every corner of the encirclement, firing a bullet out from time to time to prevent Yilian from launching an attack and approaching him.

As a result, the enemy and us began to confront each other, and through shooting, the opponent's strength in the trenches was reduced a little.

Although the first company took advantage of the strong firepower in the confrontation, but because the Japanese and puppet troops were too hidden and scattered, it was impossible for Li Yunshan to eat them all within five or six minutes or even seven or eight minutes.

However, Li Yunshan was not reconciled to just end the battle and withdraw from the battlefield, letting go of the remaining Japanese and puppet troops on the road.

"Machine gunners, continue to suppress the enemy, and riflemen can shoot freely! A row of grenades is on top, find a way to get close to the enemy, and greet them with grenades! Cover with grenades, blow up wherever there are enemies, don't hack me to save ammunition!" Li Yunshan ordered with red eyes.

At this time, in the county town a few miles away, two squadrons of the Japanese army and the two battalions of the Imperial Association Army had rushed out of the city gate, and then rushed towards the battlefield one after the other.

Although they were known by the main force of the First Battalion of the Independent Regiment lurking outside as soon as they left the city, the actions of the remaining two companies of the First Battalion were also under the surveillance of the Japanese and puppet troops.

The battle of Yilian was at a stalemate. Regardless of whether Yilian could end the battle on time, the reinforcements from the Japanese army going out of the city would stop it.

Zhang Qing immediately pulled the troops to a mountain ridge suitable for blocking, and waited for the devils to reinforce the troops.

The battle started soon, and the mixed Japanese and puppet troops showed very strong combat effectiveness on the battlefield. In addition, they were strengthened with many heavy machine guns and mortars before they left the city.

Although the first battalion occupied a favorable defensive terrain, it was still beaten by the devils.

You must know that this is only half of the troops of the Japanese and puppet troops leaving the city. If the other half of the troops also press up, the first battalion will definitely not be able to stop the Japanese and puppet troops' attack regardless of consumption.

"Battalion Commander, the follow-up troops of the Japanese and puppet troops came up, but they did not launch an attack directly, but split into two and outflanked our two wings. The enemy must want to wipe us out here!" The monitor of the first battalion reconnaissance squad He hurried over to report.

"This battle is not right, it is not going in the direction we planned at all. The enemy is also not right. When did the Royal Association Army have such a strong combat effectiveness? And their firepower is not what an infantry squadron has at all. We must be I was tricked by devils!" Zhang Qing said with a sullen face.

Then there was an expression of sudden realization on his face, and he continued to shout: "No, we have been fooled. The devils not only want to use us for training, but also want to fight a war of attrition with us. They have good equipment and sufficient ammunition. The combat power is strong, we are definitely not opponents in a war of attrition, they want to wipe us out here, that must be the case!"

Although the independent regiment defeated the devils again and again, none of the cadres from top to bottom of the independent regiment dared to underestimate the powerful combat effectiveness and excellent equipment of the Japanese army.

As the head of the regiment, Wang Ping also kept emphasizing to everyone that the independent regiment's current combat method is best to focus on small-scale annihilation battles and ambush battles. While training troops, they can also replenish some equipment and ammunition to increase their own strength.Unless it is a last resort, you must not fight a war of attrition with the enemy, as it will not be worth the loss for the independent regiment!

Therefore, as soon as Zhang Qing finished speaking, the faces of the surrounding subordinates also became heavy.

Instructor Zhao Wenhua is a veteran of the Red Army. He has experienced many big battles and bloody battles, and he can judge the bad situation that the First Battalion is now facing at a glance.Then he directly suggested to Zhang Qing: "Battalion Commander, this battle can no longer be fought, maybe our first battalion will have to confess here!"

Retreat at the beginning of the battle, both the morale and morale of the army will be greatly affected.

Zhang Qing is well aware of this truth, but compared to the entire army being wiped out here, retreating is definitely the best choice.

Frowning, he immediately ordered: "Communications squad, contact Li Yunshan immediately, no matter whether the battle can be ended quickly, retreat as soon as you receive the order!"

"We will retreat for another 5 minutes, Lao Zhao, you must inform the instructors of each company and do a good job in the ideological work of the soldiers. If you retreat like this, the soldiers' thoughts must fluctuate greatly. You must ensure the stability of the first battalion!"
