    Chapter 24: Second Ambush (Please read the new book)

    Following Li Guoyao¡¯s order, the soldiers instantly returned to their previous ambush position, returned to their combat posts, and waited for the little Japs to come!

    Although they all had no idea, after all, it was the first time they had heard of two ambush battles in the same place, but Li Guoyao's performance in the past two days completely conquered them, so everyone  They all subconsciously believed that he could do it.

    Unlike these people, Li Guoyao was not worried at all. He was just fighting two ambush battles in the same place. What's the point!

    In fact, someone has used this tactic before, and it happened more than ten days ago.  The commander of that battle was Commander Liu of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army. The battle he commanded was the very famous Qigen Village ambush battle in later generations.

    At that time, the 386th Brigade of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army arrived in the Pingding area of ??Shanxi Province. At that time, the Japanese army was storming Niangzi Pass.  In order to effectively control the parallel road south of Zhengtai Road, the Japs must step up the transportation of troops and food along the small road from Jingxing to Pingding.  In view of this, Liu Shuai planned to fight a battle in Qigen Village to contain the Japanese army's roundabout attack and cover Niangziguan's friendly forces.

    The reason why we chose Qigen Village is because it is the only place that the Jing (Xing) Ping (Ding) Trail passes through. From Qigen Village to the east to Shimen, there is exactly a 10-mile canyon. The depth of the valley is several 10 meters, and the bottom width is not enough.  3 meters, the terrain is very steep, making it the most ideal ambush battlefield.

    After on-the-spot investigation, Liu Shuai immediately ordered the 772nd Regiment to wait near Qigen Village. He wanted to teach the little devils a lesson here and teach them how to fight.

    At dawn on October 26, under the cover of more than 300 infantry troops, the Japanese army¡¯s supply troops in Chaiyu Town moved westward.  At about 9 o'clock, the little Japanese entered the ambush area.

    Cheng Xiazi¡¯s 3rd Battalion of the 772nd Regiment let go of the enemy¡¯s vanguard and launched a sudden fire attack on its own unit.  Because the terrain was chosen so conveniently, the machine guns and rifles on the top of the steep slope were pouring bullets into the crowd of Japanese soldiers. All the grenades had to do was open the safety cover and drop them vertically.  So the little devils suddenly bumped around like wasps that exploded their nest, dying and getting injured, and many of them were squeezed into the ditch.

    After a brief and fierce fire attack, the soldiers jumped into the enemy group with a cry of killing and started a hand-to-hand battle with the Japanese army.

    More than two hours later, the gunshots and shouts of death gradually fell silent.  Except for a few of the little Japanese who escaped back to Chaiyu Town, all the others were wiped out.  In this battle, more than 300 people from the Japanese 20th Division's baggage team were annihilated, and more than 300 mules and horses were seized, as well as a batch of military supplies. The results were quite fruitful.

    However, on the day of the ambush battle, the 129th Division once again received intelligence that the Japanese troops in the western section of Zhengtai Road were moving eastward, and the Japanese troops on the right wing of Niangziguan were also continuing to attack Jiuguan.  Liu Shuai knew very well that the Japanese army was eager to open up the Zhengtai Road and threaten Taiyuan from behind.  Based on this, he judged that Qigen Village would still be the only way for the Japanese army to advance, because there was no other way.

    Analyzing the current combat characteristics of the Japanese army, they are very arrogant after repeated victories. They usually develop a strong energy and stubbornly rush towards the predetermined target, ignoring some small losses.

    Moreover, according to the principle of "recovery after use of troops", they never expected that the Eighth Route Army would repeatedly set up ambushes at the same location.  Therefore, it was decisively decided to give the Japanese army a sudden blow in Qigen Village.

    In order to confuse the Japanese army, when the Japanese army sent troops to Qigen Village to collect the corpses on the 27th, Liu Bocheng asked the main force of the 772nd Regiment to pretend to retreat in front of the Japanese army, creating the illusion that Qigen Village was unguarded.  In fact, the third battalion of the 772nd Regiment went around in a circle and returned, gathering in the mountains on the south side of the Daomiao Road west of Qigen Village.

    A day later, the enemy's baggage troops came along the original route, with more than 100 cavalry and more than 300 infantry in front and behind as cover.  After all, they had suffered losses, so they stepped up search alerts along the way and launched artillery bombardments whenever they encountered suspicious areas.  When they arrived near Qigen Village, they became more cautious and carried out repeated shelling in and outside the village.  The commanders and fighters of the 3rd Battalion of the 772nd Regiment hid themselves in shrubs, grass and caves. They remained calm and did not fire a single shot.

    At about 11 o'clock, the Japanese army entered the ambush area.  The machine guns and rifles of the 3rd Battalion of the 772nd Regiment rang out, forming a tight fire net.  This time the little devil was mentally prepared and organized resistance on the spot as soon as he encountered an attack.  Although the 3rd Battalion did not have an advantage in strength, it still attacked bravely and cut the Japanese army into two sections.  Because the 2nd Battalion in charge of reinforcements failed to arrive on time due to rain and slippery roads, the 3rd Battalion failed to completely wipe out the enemy.  When the battle reached dusk, the enemy took advantage of the darkness of night to break out of the encirclement. Some fled west to Pingding, and most returned east to Chaiyu Town.

    In this ambush, more than a hundred Japanese soldiers were killed and dozens of mules and horses were seized.  This battle contained the enemy and rescued more than 1,000 people from Zeng Wanzhong's tribe who were trapped south of Jiuguan from the enemy's siege.  At the same place, two ambushes were set up two days later.A complete victory was rare in the history of war.

    "Soldiers should not ambush" is originally the military principle of military strategists, but a higher level than this principle is "victory based on the enemy".  Compared with the Qigen Village ambush battle, the battlefield in front of them was more favorable to Li Guoyao and others. First of all, the little devils never imagined that Li Guoyao and others would continue to stay there and wait for them after ambushing the search squadron headquarters. In addition, there were  The corpses on the ground were used as bait, how could the little devil not take the bait?

    In addition, the little devil is now so close to them. Even if they retreat immediately, with the little devil's physical strength and persistence, he can catch up with them quickly. Instead of being beaten passively, it is better to fuck him right here!

    On the road two kilometers away, a group of 60 or 70 Japanese troops were rushing towards Sanjia Village. As the search squadron of the 47th Wing, they usually served as the vanguard of the wing, but they never wanted to be sent by the wing leader.  Come out and search for that abominable army/the remnants of the army.

    Looking for an unknown number of troops in the pitch-black night was like looking for a needle in a haystack. In desperation, Second Lieutenant Yamada and the squadron leader, Captain Sato, each led a small team to search separately.

    When Yamada¡¯s team searched Bajiaolou Village, they suddenly saw a signal from the squadron headquarters, asking them to move closer to the squadron headquarters immediately. Then Shan Tianyong ordered his troops to move closer to the squadron headquarters immediately.

    However, just halfway through the journey, I heard a fierce exchange of fire coming from here. I knew that the squadron headquarters might have found that abominable branch/that army. Considering that the squadron headquarters had less than fifty people, Second Lieutenant Yamada  Immediately ordered his soldiers to rush to the battlefield quickly.

    Soon, the Yamada team arrived in front of the ambush position at the entrance of Sanjia Village!

    As soon as he arrived here, Yamada Isamu noticed something was wrong. He had been fighting on the battlefield for many years and was extremely sensitive to the smell of blood. As soon as he arrived here, he smelled the strong smell of blood.

    Yamada Isamu immediately ordered the troops to stop advancing, and then looked at the entrance of the village with a flashlight!

    This photo was not important, but he saw a scene that he would never forget in his life. In a small area, dozens of imperial warriors were scattered in various directions. The breeze blew by, and the strong smell of blood hit his face.  At the same time, Lieutenant Yamada trembled all over.

    Although it was impossible to see clearly how many corpses there were on the battlefield, at a glance they were all there, at least dozens.

    There are less than fifty people in the squadron headquarters, which means that this may be the burial place of the entire search squadron headquarters!

    ??Emotions such as panic, anger, and doubt surged into my heart instantly. What on earth had the squadron headquarters gone through, so that it could be wiped out here in such a short period of time?

    How many people are there in that branch/that remnant? Is it a battalion or a regiment? To wipe out an infantry squad that was not full of members so quickly, I guess it is not a company.

    At this moment, a groan suddenly came from the center of the battlefield. Although it was not very high, it was real. Many people, including Yamada Isamu, heard it.

    Lieutenant Yamada was overjoyed and without thinking too much, he hurriedly ordered his soldiers to rush into the center of the battlefield and treat the wounded immediately.

    However, the moment they rushed into the battlefield, there was a crisp "bang" sound, and then a red signal flare rose into the sky again!

    At the same time, fierce gunshots rang out from the left, right and front three directions of the battlefield at the same time!

    The moment the signal flare took off, Second Lieutenant Yamada realized that it was over and immediately prepared to order his soldiers to withdraw from the battlefield immediately.

    However, before he could give the order, he felt a sharp pain in the center of his eyebrows, and then the strength in his body seemed to be drained, and he collapsed to the ground.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
