Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 508 Unceasing Accidents (Third Update!)
Seeing that the political commissar and the chief of staff subconsciously wanted to persuade him, Brigadier Chen raised his hand and interrupted.

"We must fight this battle, Chief of Staff, how much ammunition do we have!"

"32 rounds of various ammunition, [-] grenades, and [-] rounds of shells. Of course, these ammunition is only in the brigade headquarters' inventory, not including the ammunition stored by the regiments below and the ammunition in the hands of the soldiers!"

"Enough!" Brigadier Chen became more confident.

Pointing to Wuxiang on the map, he ordered: "Take people to Wuxiang immediately and choose a favorable terrain to ambush the little devil. The terrain of Wuxiang is dangerous, with deep ditches and mountain ridges everywhere, which is very suitable for ambushes. You go to scout the battlefield yourself and find An ambush battlefield that can hold an infantry brigade of the Japanese army comes out!"

"Political commissar, gather your troops. This time I will use four regiments, two regiments for ambushes, two regiments for blocking, four for fighting devils and one for fighting. I will try to end the battle within an hour!"

Brigadier Chen finally chose the ambush battlefield in a deep ditch nearly four kilometers away from the road. The mountain road passed through the bottom of the ditch and stretched for nearly one kilometer.The ambush troops of the two regiments ambushed on the mountain beams on both sides of the deep ditch, condescendingly attacking the devils who entered the ambush circle.

As for Brigadier Chen himself, he directly set his headquarters on a mountain ridge less than 500 meters away from the battlefield.

Through the telescope, you can have a panoramic view of the entire battlefield!

"Bang bang bang... da da da..." Soon, a burst of gunfire came from the road a few kilometers away.

"Brigade Commander, the decoy troops have already started to move! The Japanese army sent an infantry brigade to chase after our decoy troops. In half an hour, they will be taken to the ambush circle we prepared for them!" The chief of staff went to Reported with a serious face next to him.

"All the ammunition has been sent out!" Brigadier Chen held up the binoculars and scanned the ambush battlefield back and forth to make sure that nothing was pulled.

"Not a single bullet left! The ambushes have [-] bullets per capita, the blocking troops have [-] bullets per capita, plus three grenades per person, and the mortars have an average of [-] shells per person. Our troops fight wars." I have never missed it so much!" the political commissar replied.

"Yes!" Brigadier Chen nodded to express his satisfaction, and then added: "Tell the battalion commander below, after the battle starts, the ambush troops should not save ammunition for me, but fight hard and end the battle in the shortest possible time. However, Take it easy for the blocking troops, no one can guarantee that there will be no accidents in the ambush battle, how long their blocking battle will take, and try to save ammunition for me!"

While speaking, the decoy troops and more than 800 devils had entered Brigadier Chen's field of vision.

"Brigade Commander, more than 800 devils have all entered the ambush circle!" The chief of staff reported with excitement in his eyes.

With nearly 4000 people against more than 800 devils, in the opinion of the chief of staff, as long as the blocking forces can buy enough time, it is definitely a sure thing.

"Send signal flares and start attacking!" The brigade commander ordered decisively, and then continued to stare at the battlefield with his binoculars.

A few seconds later, dense gunshots and explosions sounded in the deep ditch that was close at hand.

More than 50 light and heavy machine guns and more than 2000 rifles from the two regiments fired together. The swishing bullets were like rain, covering the entire mountain road in an instant.

"At least 300 devils were killed in the first round of fire attack, let the ambush troops continue to strengthen their firepower, and don't let the devils have a chance to fight back!" Brigadier Chen was very satisfied with the start of the entire ambush and ordered happily.

However, this good mood disappeared after less than 2 minutes.

"What's going on, how do the heavy machine guns of the two regiments stop and stop? Didn't I prepare enough ammunition for them?" The firepower of light and heavy machine guns is the key to the entire ambush battle.

At least half of the more than 300 devils killed at the beginning were the results of light and heavy machine guns.

But at this moment, the firepower of more than 50 light and heavy machine guns was suddenly weakened by at least [-]%, and many devils who were tightly suppressed on the mountain road had a chance to fight back.

Use the stones next to the mountain road, or directly use the corpses of the dead soldiers as a cover, set up a rifle and start to fight back.

As more and more devils began to fight back, the casualties of the two regiments also began to increase sharply!

"I don't know either, I'll call and ask right away!" The frowning chief of staff replied shaking his head.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and the situation that was originally very favorable to Brigadier Chen disappeared bit by bit.

The suddenly reduced machine gun firepower not only did not recover, but became weaker and weaker.

The casualties of the ambush troops continued to increase. On the battlefield, there was even a devil officer who assembled a small team to launch a counterattack against the ambush troops on the mountain ridge.

If the artillery hadn't blown up these devils with several volleys, the devils might have killed a gap in the ambush circle he carefully prepared.

"Brigade Commander, we've found out! The devils we ambushed had many sharpshooters, and the machine gunners were all killed by the devils sharpshooters. The heavy machine gunners on the battlefield have almost changed!" The chief of staff said to Chen Brigade as soon as he put down the phone long report.

"Boom, boom, boom!" Before Brigadier Chen could speak, a burst of gunfire came from the highway a few kilometers away.

"No, the devil's reinforcements and our blocking troops exchanged fire, and the cannons were dispatched. The explosion of the shells just now can only be made by infantry artillery!" The chief of staff reacted quickly and immediately reminded.

"The battle must end as soon as possible. The Japanese reinforcements are coming in menacingly. It is obvious that they want to block us here!" Brigadier Chen analyzed with his brows furrowed.

The chief of staff reminded: "However, the devils have a large number of sharpshooters. We have dozens of light and heavy machine guns, but we have no way to unleash their firepower and suppress them!"

Brigadier Chen hesitated for a few seconds before making a decision: "If you can't make full use of your superiority in firepower, then fight the devils in close combat and fight for superiority in strength."

"Order the artillery to shoot out all the shells, I can't do it!"

"As soon as the shelling was over, the infantry rushed out, divided and surrounded the little devils, and killed them with bayonets!"

"Order the blocking troops to block the Japanese army for an hour at all costs!"

Hundreds of shells smashed into the ambush circle, and the devils were killed and injured nearly a hundred people.

Not only were there less than four hundred devils left on the battlefield, but they spontaneously formed small groups to defend on the spot.

Just then, the charge horn sounded.

Nearly four thousand and eighth Route Army attacked the devils from all directions.

"Ten to one troops, the devils must be finished now!" The chief of staff said confidently, looking at the Eighth Route Army rushing towards the devils like a mountain in front of him.

"Not necessarily!" Brigadier Chen next to him said in surprise, his brows that were already frowning deepened now.

The chief of staff's eyes were also wide open, and he could hardly believe his own eyes.
