Chapter 6 Ambush
"Chief of Staff! This is our opportunity! With our current strength, it is entirely possible to seize the opportunity and deal with a squadron of the Japanese. After destroying them, we can also rescue the captured brothers and strengthen our strength. We will never let go of such an opportunity." Qin Shou said firmly.
"Captain, now we will be fine if we fight a squadron of the Japanese. However, Sun Brabing also has a squadron of the Japanese. If we cannot eat them in the shortest time, once we are besieged by the Japanese from two squadrons, the consequences can be imagined." Liu Shiquan was a little worried.
The supplementary regiment now has more than 1,000 people, but its combat effectiveness is not strong, and although morale has improved, there is obviously a big gap between the fighter jets and the Japanese elite troops. The Japanese army of two squadrons has less than 500 people. However, it is by no means the supplementary regiment can handle it.
"I know. But I believe that as long as we deploy it properly, we can win. We can choose a place with favorable terrain and ambush a squadron of the Little RB. Then, use this as a trap to ambush the Japanese army attacking from Sun Brabing. After they are dealt with, we will send troops to Sun Brabing and defeat the place. In this way, we can not only reshape the confidence of the troops through several victories, but also use war to support the war and grow and grow in one fell swoop!" This is undoubtedly Qin Shou's overall plan.
Liu Shiquan hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded: "Captain, although it is a bit risky. However, now we have no way out, so we can only give it a try. Since the leader has decided, let's do it!"
"Haha, okay. We will definitely be able to win. Zhang Erniu, is there a place suitable for ambushing the Japanese nearby?" Qin Shou shouted loudly.
"Yes, the leader. Two kilometers away from this place is a valley, and the road is in the middle of the valley. It is also ten kilometers away from Sunburlap. If the Japanese set off from Sunburlap and want to arrive, it will take at least one hour. If one is sent to block them, they can get more time." Zhang Erniu directly marked it on the map.
"Okay, I'll send my orders, and the whole army will rush to the ambush site and fuck the Japanese hard once!"
The entire army of the supplementary regiment immediately rushed to the selected ambush site. It took the two-kilometer mountain road and the supplementary regiment to arrive for half an hour. When they arrived, the reconnaissance company had already begun to build ambush positions on both sides of the valley.
"The 1st and 2nd Battalions go to the left, and the 3rd Battalion and the reconnaissance company are on the right. The Guard Company immediately starts building a position, be careful to be hidden, and do not let the Japanese discover it. After the Japanese enter the ambush circle, they will first fight the head and tail, block them in the valley, and then find a way to kill them all!" Qin Shou issued an order.
This is the first battle after the reorganization of the supplementary regiment, and it must be won in one battle. In this way, the morale of the troops can be improved. At the same time, the Japanese troops entering the ambush circle must also be killed.
The supplementary regiment immediately began to build positions. The only four 60mm mortars, two 81mm mortars, and two 37mm mortars were all moved to the mountain. Four heavy machine guns and 12 light machine guns were also deployed on both sides of the valley to ensure that the Japanese army had its condescending firepower after entering the ambush circle, which could directly strike the Japanese army.
At the same time, a squad of the reconnaissance company was also paying attention to the movements of the Japanese army and reporting to the regiment headquarters at any time.
"Captain, the Japanese army is only half an hour away from us." Zhang Erniu reported with a nervous look on his face.
"Order all departments to stop building fortifications and be careful of concealment." Qin Shou immediately issued an order.
More than a thousand people in the supplementary regiment were all scattered in the dense forests on both sides of the valley. With the help of weeds and trees, they dug simple trenches and foxholes. They used sandbags to build machine gun fire points, and covered with weeds. Behind the trenches were mortar positions. Two 37mm war defense cannons were deployed at the beginning and end respectively. War defense cannons were direct fire cannons, used to strike vehicles and armored targets, with higher accuracy. Once Japanese vehicles entered the valley, war defense cannons could ensure that they were destroyed.
Outside the ambush circle of the supplementary regiment, a team of more than a thousand prisoners escorted by the Japanese army were walking on the road. At the front of the team were two tricycles and two trucks. On the roof of the truck, there were Japanese crooked machine guns, and the carriage was filled with Japanese soldiers.
In order to wait for the prisoners who were not escorted behind, the tricycles and trucks drove very slowly.
On the co-pilot of the second truck, Captain Yuichi Nishikawa, the squadron leader of the Japanese squadron. Their squadron is affiliated with the 2nd Battalion of the 46th Infantry Corps, the 23rd Brigade of the 18th Division of the Japanese Army. As a well-deserved main force on the battlefield in Myanmar, the 18th Division fought very bravely in this war. Whether it was the British colonial army or the Chinese Expeditionary Force, they were not their opponents.
The squadron of Nishikawa Yuichi also performed well on the front line. The entire squadron had more than 200 people, defeating enemies that were several times more than his own many times. Of course, it also caused great casualties and dozens of people to be killed. It is precisely because of this that the captain of the regiment, Colonel Tochigi, led his troops to retreat from the front line. On the one hand, he asked him to escort some of the prisoners to Sun Brabing, and on the other hand, he planned to let Nishikawa Yuichi's squadron rest and replenish his strength.
In addition, Colonel Tochigi Koichi also revealed that he had allowed Nishikawa Yuichi to take over as the captain of the 2nd Brigade who was killed, which made Nishikawa Yuichi's heart even more passionate.
If he could become the captain of the RB Army at the age of thirty, his future would definitely be bright.
"The martial arts fortune of the Great RB Empire has been long, and I can take this opportunity to make a name for myself!" Nishikawa Yuichi sweared secretly in his heart!
"Hurry, leave!"
An RB soldier, with a gun stock, hit the head of a captured Expeditionary Army soldier. Suddenly, the Expeditionary Army soldier's head was bleeding.
However, the soldiers of the Expeditionary Army did not dare to resist, and the other soldiers of the Expeditionary Army were also numb with their eyes, just like a walking corpse.
"Haha! These lowly Chinese people, even if they want to fight against the Great RB Empire, they are simply ignorant of their lives!"
The Japanese began to laugh at the expeditionary soldiers who dared not resist.
However, these Japanese devils did not expect that they were heading towards death step by step.
Qin Shou lay in the trench, poked his head out, and looked at the Japanese army step by step into the ambush circle with a telescope. He also clearly saw their abuse of prisoners of war in the expeditionary army.
"The Japanese devils will soon make you pay your blood debts and blood!
Soon, all the Japanese troops entered the ambush circle.
"Fight!" Qin Shou shouted loudly and issued an order to attack.
Chapter completed!
