Chapter 689 Full of happiness!
Yes, when Ozawa Risheng, who was the pinnacle of the Japanese remnants of the sea, was blown into pieces by a sudden and magical cannon, the psychological bottom line of the Japanese army, whether on the mountain road or hidden in the stone peaks, had collapsed.
Almost no one cares about the baggage and ammunition anymore. Once it explodes, the Chinese will not be able to get it, but their last chance of survival will also be cut off.
Not all Japanese soldiers did not value their own lives and chose to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, especially after being attacked one after another by Chinese soldiers.
After the remaining Japanese troops on the mountain road were stunned for more than ten seconds, they no longer felt that the baggage trains could do what the damned Captain Ozawa Riso said. The Chinese did not dare to use artillery fire. Even he himself was killed by the crazy Chinese with one shot. Isn't it?
So, just after Zhao Daqiang's order was issued, while the precision shooters and grenade launchers were still in position, they ran into the stone peaks on the side of the road.
That would be easy, and it would be difficult for several Chinese officers not to be happy.
As a result, before even taking a breath, the mortar shells fell.
In this crack in the rocks where it is difficult to turn around, there is no way to hide. The explosion is accurate. Even if the stone above the head blocks the shell, the collapsed stone can still kill people if it falls like this!
The Japanese troops frantically drilled deeper into the various gaps that could allow people to pass through, but they didn't know that it would bring them closer to death.
Nearly thirty infantry mines were buried in an area more than 100 meters away from here, becoming a minefield of death.
The three infantry squads responsible for the detour have already been in place. One infantry squad detoured to the right side of the mountain road and was responsible for killing the Japanese soldiers who jumped over the wall and jumped into the deep ditch to escape. The other infantry squad and the infantry squad led by Qin Wulang carried out the attack on the end of the mountain road and the minefield. blockade.
After receiving the signal flare order, Qin Wulang took Tudou and others to quickly occupy the nearby commanding heights.
All Japanese soldiers exposed to their sight will be shot with rifles and machine guns, so that they dare not show their heads at all.
But for the dozens of Japanese soldiers in this area, the biggest threat to them is not the bullets coming from above, but under their feet.
Three consecutive explosions and the pitiful wails of their companions reminded them that there were actually landmines here.
The Chinese people are more vicious than they imagined. Leaving such an area unattacked and even using artillery to drive them into it are all purposeful. The so-called way out is actually more hopeless than the dead end.
It's not that the Japanese army didn't move forward bravely with the idea that the Chinese didn't have that much supplies, but they just wanted to scare people into staying here and be bombed by artillery shells and machine-gunned.
However, they didn't advance many meters, and the repeated screams of being blown up by infantry mines completely stopped the remaining Japanese troops from thinking about it.
The Chinese army in front of them is not the Chinese army in their inherent impression, whether in terms of equipment or tricks.
If you walk, you will step on a thunderbolt. If you don't walk, you will never get better. Going back is even more impossible.
The main force of the 4th company on the mountain ridge had seized this rare opportunity to descend the mountain. After all the baggage was under his control, Zhao Daqiang breathed a sigh of relief.
However, the battle is not completely over yet. The remaining Japanese troops in the stone forest are still resisting stubbornly. The minefield stopped the remaining Japanese troops from escaping, which means that there are still dozens of people alive.
After observation, Zhao Daqiang blocked all possible routes with six light machine guns, and then organized two mortars and all grenade launchers to blast violently at the edge of the minefield, causing the Japanese troops inside to howl like ghosts.
Then, all the soldiers armed with submachine guns and rifles were gathered into groups of three, a total of seven groups, followed by three infantry squads, with a total of 60 people fighting into the stone forest.
They don't have to worry about the tops of their heads. The two infantry squads control the commanding heights almost without blind spots, making it impossible for the Japanese army to climb higher.
There were indeed Japanese soldiers hiding under the stone forest in stone peaks or shallow caves who were lucky enough not to be killed. The seven search teams composed of short rifles still encountered strong resistance.
But in such a narrow space, even if the Japanese remnant army wants to make a sneak attack, it is extremely difficult. The 38-meter cover is really too long, especially since the Japanese army is still stupid enough to use a bayonet at this time. It was stuck on the rifle, and with a slight movement, the bayonet made a loud clang on the rocks.
It was just to point out the direction for the search team. First, they threw a few grenades, and then, without even showing their faces, they first poked out the muzzle of the rifle and fired a bunch of bullets at them. It didn't matter if they missed, but the sergeant squad leader holding a submachine gun behind him didn't give any The reaction time of the hurriedly evading Japanese army was followed by another round of bullets, and finally a shell gun. The three of them took turns to cover each other's advance.
Those who use submachine guns and shell guns are either sergeant squad leaders or platoon leader-level second lieutenants. Although they do not cooperate at the group level all year round, they are all promoted by veterans with rich combat experience, and their mutual cooperation is even better than that of their own infantry squads.
The Japanese soldiers holding Type 38 rifles could only fire one shot at most, and they were swept down in the stone forest by waves of bullets that advanced like waves with almost no resistance.
Different equipment and correct use of tactics basically guarantee the absolute advantage of the officers and soldiers of the 4th company in such a search operation.
In addition to a sergeant holding a submachine gun, he was stabbed in the arm by a very cunning Japanese soldier who was hiding next to a stone pillar with a bayonet in his hand. However, with this blow, the sergeant squad leader who reacted quickly abandoned his gun and locked his arm with his hands. The comrades The absolute trust between them gave the Japanese army no chance. The two sergeants who quickly followed up from the rear smashed the Japanese soldiers to death with their rifle butts. Apart from this, the rest of the officers and soldiers who participated in the stone forest search operation were basically intact, and the result was the killing of nearly 30 remaining Japanese troops.
As for the other Japanese troops, they were either killed by mortars and grenade launchers, or they jumped into the minefield in a panic and were killed and injured.
Being injured in a minefield is actually worse than death, because no one can save him, and he can only wait until he bleeds out and dies.
So for such Japanese troops, Zhao Daqiang would naturally not order his soldiers to risk entering the minefield to kill them.
After nearly 30 minutes of search operations, the number of Japanese corpses reported by each search team was as high as 64. Including those who were killed by the magical cannon on the mountain road, the total number of people reached more than 70, and they basically escaped into this area. The number of Japanese troops in the area matched. Zhao Daqiang announced the end of the search operation, and the entire company began to engage in operations to block the Japanese troops' back roads in the valley.
As for the baggage, it can't go anywhere anyway. If the battle in the river valley is lost, the baggage will be useless.
However, the mountain cannon that was accidentally captured by Qin Wulang's infantry squad was treated as a treasure by Zhao Daqiang and ordered them to carry it over.
To this end, although the 4th company that was undergoing short-term repairs was given a can of beef cans to each two people as a supplement to their physical strength, Qin Wulang's infantry squad had a full quota of 45 cans as a reward, with an average of three cans per person.
Even if it's just a quota, it makes the other infantry squads turn blue with envy. Everyone has been nauseated from eating baked potatoes in the past two days, but Qin Wulang's infantry squad can eat potatoes and beef for at least a week. This is a lot. What a happy thing!
But this can only be envied, who asked others to kill a Japanese artillery squad! A mountain cannon was also captured.
The most awesome thing is that the person who fired the magic shot to kill the Japanese commander was Xiao Nippon himself, although the main reason was because of a grenade thrown by Xiao Tudou.
After Qin Wulang's careful investigation and comparison with the battle results here, although it is very mysterious, all officers have to admit Qin Wulang's judgment.
The grenade thrown by Tudou in desperation overturned the mountain cannon and killed the Japanese artillery squad leader who was about to fire. Before he died, he pulled the breech of the gun to allow the mountain cannon to fire smoothly.
It's just that the gun body had been completely tilted at that time, and the muzzle was not facing the sky but tilted slightly downward. In addition, the recoil force originally used by the gun to relieve it was missing. The combined force of several forces actually resulted in the shell not being fired like this. It flies according to the normal curved trajectory as usual, but hits straight in the direction pointed by the muzzle.
But this is not the most miraculous thing. The most miraculous thing is that there are two hills between the muzzle and the baggage train where the Japanese captain is hiding. Even if there is direct space and sight, there will never be any More than two fists wide.
But this shot happened so miraculously. It happened to pass by the top of two consecutive mountains. One shot hit a heavy baggage vehicle on the mountain road nearly 400 meters away. The accuracy of its ballistic trajectory can only be said to be the manifestation of the Three Purities.
The little potato who created this miracle did not receive many extra rewards, but everyone knew that it was not that Company Commander Zhao was reluctant to give it, but that his contribution was too great, and it was no longer someone at the level of Company Commander Zhao who could make the decision, so Commander Tang would have to come in person. .
But Tudou was already very satisfied. He received a pack of Japanese cigarettes from Zhao Daqiang, although the cigarette pack was still stained with Japanese blood.
That was just seized from the corpses of Japanese soldiers. According to the rules of the independent battalion, 60% of all property seized from killing Japanese troops will be turned over to the battalion headquarters, 20% will be retained at the company headquarters, 10% will be reserved for the infantry platoon, and 10% will be given to the infantry squad. However, shortages of materials such as tobacco, food, equipment and ammunition , then all will be turned over, and even the company headquarters cannot withhold it privately.
The pack of cigarettes that Zhao Daqiang gave him actually violated military discipline and deducted military pay.
In the words of Zhao Daqiang: I don't have the money now, nor the power to promote you to the military rank, so I can only deduct one month's military pay and reward your child with a pack of cigarettes. However, your child, don't smoke too fast, I don't have any cigarettes. I may have to find you when the time comes.
The reward was small, but Tudou was extremely happy. The two company commanders Wei Donglai and Cai Yongguan, who had woken up from coma, had begged him for cigarettes several times. He could only shamelessly go to the veterans for half a cigarette each time. Borrowed.
For example, Li Jiujin, that uncle was not forgiving, but he always cared for him.
Now, not only can he pay off the debt, but he can also use his own ability to give the two officers freedom of tobacco.
He is also an elite soldier who can obtain military exploits based on his own ability. He is no longer the little soldier protected by two infantry companies with his life.
The happiness that a pack of cigarettes brings to a soldier is difficult for those who have not experienced war to understand.
