Chapter 682 The ancestors said that you can strike later!
Ozawa Risheng did not make a decision, but the Japanese infantry could not wait any longer.
There were only a dozen carriages in the baggage train, which could not hide so many people. Most of the Japanese infantry entered among the rock peaks. Only Ozawa Risheng and less than 20 people hid on the mountain road using the cart as a barrier. superior.
Even if a dozen large carts are loaded with infantry artillery shells, they can blow him to pieces if they explode.
Yes, Colonel Takeuchi Unzan must have been chilled by the Chinese. He still felt that the 50 rounds of shells for each gun carried by the infantry artillery team was not enough, and he also brought a truck with 200 rounds of shells for backup.
Even, an additional 30,000 rounds of machine rifle bullets and 1,000 rounds of grenades for grenade launchers were carried. For this reason, the carrying of military rations was also specially reduced.
On the battlefield, sufficient ammunition is more important than food. Takeuchi Yunshan's approach was highly recognized by the Japanese infantry.
Although he was next to a "explosive barrel" that could shatter him to pieces at any time, Ozawa was not afraid. He bet that the Chinese, who had already consumed a large amount of arms and supplies, wanted to seize these supplies.
What is the plan of the Chinese?
How can they ensure that while killing themselves and others, they can also ensure that they seize this batch of baggage that is extremely attractive to them?
The Japanese Army Captain could only think from the perspective of his opponent at this moment, and the expression on his face kept changing, representing constant overturning and denial.
Because, people who don't think hard may not be qualified to think.
Ozawa Risheng made the right bet.
Early before the battle started, Zhao Daqiang had already inspected the large baggage truck covered with green military tarpaulin several times through the telescope. He saw artillery shell boxes and bullet boxes through the gaps.
If these things had already made Zhao Daqiang salivate before the battle, they were even more necessary now.
He and the 4th Company have already consumed the large amount of ammunition they brought. If they just killed some Japanese without capturing them, it would be hard for him to explain to Tang Dao.
So, he is bound to get this batch of supplies.
It was impossible for the twenty-odd carts to move again after the battle began.
In order to prevent the pack horses from being frightened and dragging the baggage down the ravine, Zhao Daqiang originally asked each squad of precision shooters to shoot the pack horses. However, before they even fired their machine guns, the Japanese army took action themselves.
Compared to the officers and soldiers of the 4th Company on the mountain who were eager for supplies, the Japanese troops on the mountain road were more afraid of the pack horses being frightened. Once the frightened pack horses dragged the carts and ran wildly, many people would die.
What's even worse is that some carts are also loaded with artillery shells and grenades. If they break into a Chinese ambush area and are detonated by grenades, just thinking about it will make Ozawa's little head spin. Lieutenant, please pee in fear!
The Japanese captain did not even order a counterattack, but gave the order to shoot the pack horses first.
This decisive move reduced a lot of casualties. Otherwise, the packhorses, who were frightened by the sound of gunfire and artillery, could use heavy carts to help the 4th company eliminate at least dozens of Japanese troops, which indirectly reduced the number of casualties. Less ammunition consumption.
It is a pity that Captain Ozawa Risen, who has performed so well, is still surrounded and struggling in a desperate situation. It is not known whether there will be an opportunity to continue to show his excellence in the future.
On the mountains!
Except for the third platoon leader and an infantry platoon who had taken a shortcut to prevent the Japanese troops from running backwards, the other two infantry platoon leaders and the fire support platoon leader surrounded Zhao Daqiang.
Zhao Daqiang's telescope has taken turns passing by the hands of the three of them, and they can clearly see the current formation of the Japanese army.
“Company Commander, what should we do? The little devils seemed to sense that we wanted to seize the baggage, so they hid behind the cart and refused to run into the pile of rocks we specially left for them.”
The second platoon leader of the fourth company comes from the 67th Army. He was already a platoon leader when he followed Tang Dao in the Battle of Cangcheng. He is also considered a veteran. Northeastern people are inherently outspoken. They are anxious in their hearts and their faces are also anxious. They are more likely to ask questions. It's straightforward.
“Lao Jiang, what are you in a hurry for? We have basically achieved the tactical objectives required by the commander in this battle. The Japanese army has been crippled. The rest depends on **** them all bit by bit.
As for the supplies, the commander said that it would be best if the supplies could be captured. But if the Japanese army resisted and could not be captured, the safety of the officers and soldiers should be the first principle, and the total annihilation of the Japanese army should be the first goal. If you dare to disobey, I will blast you with a barrage of artillery fire and blow it to pieces. "The deputy company commander and platoon commander of the 4th company replied with a faint smile.
Seeing this person speaking, the second platoon leader with a straightforward personality could only nod his head to suppress the anxiety in his heart.
This is a former platoon leader of the 43rd Army, named Cao Shubin. As his name suggests, he looks very elegant, like a scholar. But only those who are familiar with him know that this person is really a ruthless person. He is a desperate Saburo when he enters the battlefield. He carries a shell gun in one hand and a samurai sword captured from the Japanese army in the other, which are his standard equipment when standing in the front line trenches.
During the Battle of Cangcheng, Qian Dazhu's infantry platoon suffered a terrible defeat. There were only two people left in each platoon, but this infantry platoon also had less than ten people alive. There were hundreds of Japanese soldiers lying down in front of their platoon's position. corpse. If Zhao Daqiang hadn't been the guard squad leader of the 26th Division Commander, had good marksmanship, and had served as Tang Dao's guard platoon leader, several factors allowed him to beat out all competitors and be elected as the commander of the 4th company. The company commander is his.
In fact, even Tang Dao weighed between Zhao Daqiang and Cao Shubin for a long time, and in the end he chose Zhao Daqiang, who was more familiar and reliable. But he also had a plan in mind. If the army expanded again in the future, as long as the deputy company commander, who had been promoted to lieutenant, performed well in the subsequent battles, the position of an infantry company commander would definitely not be lost.
The number of army lieutenants included in the independent battalion's high-level assessment is just a handful.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he naturally shut up like the infantry platoon leader nicknamed "Chief Jiang".
"The company officer is right, but! We want the heads of the Japanese army, and we must also want this batch of supplies. Otherwise, if the commander sees us returning with empty guns, he will definitely say that our 4th company is a prodigal son. Yes." Zhao Daqiang nodded and concluded his speech.
When he said this, several lieutenants and second lieutenants who came over for the meeting, including Zhou Shubin, couldn't help grinning.
They could almost imagine the situation. After the Tang battalion commander asked about casualties, the number of enemies killed, and the consumption of ammunition, he would first scold others instead of praising them.
Twenty thousand rounds of ammunition! It used to be enough for an infantry battalion, but it was used up by an infantry company of the 4th company in less than half an hour. I guess they themselves would have been scolded.
However, it's really fun! A submachine gunner actually emptied five magazines on average. They, the platoon leaders, also fired nearly a hundred rounds of shell gun bullets. It was an extremely rare and refreshing experience.
Because of the ferocious fire coverage, casualties were unprecedentedly low.
Even if these chief officers are scolded for this, it will still be worth it!
"We're just afraid of the little devils trying to break the cauldron, so why don't we?" Zhou Shubin finished laughing, but his eyes showed a fierce light, and he lowered his hands to everything.
That means, should we take the initiative to kill the Japanese army?
At this time, the 80-man Japanese army who had lost all their heavy firepower would definitely have little ability to resist. It would only take about ten minutes to annihilate them.
For fighting, this white-faced scholar lieutenant company officer is a bit more eager than the pimple-faced and fierce-looking "Daochang Jiang".
"Mr. Company, believe me, the Japanese will make a choice, as long as they still want to live. In that case, our chance may come." Zhao Daqiang, who looked as simple as an old farmer and was far more mature than his own age, shook his head slightly. .
At this point in the battle, it would be unwise to lose any more soldiers. If that were the case, he would rather be scolded by Tang Dao.
You cannot have your cake and eat it too, so if he gives the Japanese time to choose, they may have the opportunity to eat the fish and take away the bear's paw.
What our ancestors said about striking later also contains the principles of life.
Because, Japanese people don't have many choices.
Or, escape along the way they came, which is what he wants to see most. An infantry platoon marching that way will completely kill them on the mountain road.
Either, enter the trap he left for them and stay away from that coveted batch of military supplies, whether it is artillery shells or military rations.
Zhao Daqiang also needs to use his performance on the battlefield to tell Tang Dao that he should be chosen as the commander of the 4th company. His background and reliability are only one of the factors, and his ability is the most important.
At least for now, his performance is no worse than that of the other three infantry company commanders.
Don't make a decision in a hurry, just take a moment and let him wait for the opportunity.
ps: I repeat, the title of the old book released by Fengyue has been changed to "Blooded Mountains and Rivers", with 4.07 million words!
