Chapter 341 Cold Winter, Warm Winter 17

Li Qinglin commanded his troops on a hill not far ahead. He had to launch an attack at this time. At present, this is not the best ambush site. The battlefield preset by Li Qinglin is actually about two miles away. It is a valley surrounded by mountains on three sides and only one entrance.

The Japanese generally have the mentality of revenge. According to pre-war estimates, the attacked Japanese usually follow their troops and attack them. In the end, they will enter the pockets of three ambushings.

However, war always happens when fighting between the two sides. It is not only a bloody battle between the soldiers face to face, but also a competition of intelligence between the commanders of both sides. Li Qinglin saw Matsui commanding troops in the telescope to organize their formation. Seeing that the Japanese were about to go back, Li Qinglin decisively ordered: At present, all troops that can contact the enemy will launch an attack, and the troops that ambushed in the predetermined position will immediately rush here, and the troops will annihilate the enemy on the spot.

Of course, the first wave of attacks were three cavalry squads and some militias that had been entangled with Matsui squad. This was a mountainous area, and the cavalry squad had already been out of war and became pure infantry. The militias were always on guard, transporting ammunition, rescued the wounded and guided the way, so they were also with the cavalry squad.

The attack of the cavalry squad and militia was quite hasty, and even launched an attack in a field state.

The three cavalry squads are mainly responsible for reconnaissance, commands and guards, so they are not equipped with light machine guns, and their combat power is very limited. Most of the militia's subordinates have only started training in recent months, and some people have even just fired fire, and their combat power is even more worth mentioning. However, in order to capture the enemy, the cavalry squad and militia still bit the bullet and launched an attack.

The cavalry squad and militia did not retreat to the mountain. In order to attract the enemy, they were always in front of the Inoue team. This time they launched a hasty attack and had to follow the road to rush here. The cavalry squad and militia had only rifles in their hands. Although there were fifty or sixty people, the firepower of Heriji puppet was actually very poor.

Seeing the opponent turning around and rushing over, Inoue was calm. He ordered the soldiers to defend on the spot. The machine gun and grenade launcher quickly entered their respective launch positions, and the infantry also found cover points. After some shooting, the cavalry squad and militia suffered heavy casualties, and the third brigade's Gulf Promotion Attack was stopped.

Matsui was not a very conservative subordinate commander. He never thought that passive defense could win the battle. After the opponent's attack stopped, Matsui immediately commanded his troops to counterattack Li Qinglin's cavalry squad and militia.

Faced with the superior forces of the Japanese and puppets, the cavalry squads and militia members with heavy casualties retreated step by step, and the battlefield situation was in danger.

The cavalry squad is naturally the main force of resistance. The soldiers of the cavalry squad were all killed in battle. Because the militia was mainly assisted in combat, they all retreated first, so several were injured, but so far, there were no personnel killed in battle.

The Japanese and puppets became more and more brave as they fought, and they pressed step by step, and were about to catch up with the retreating cavalry squad. At this moment, fierce gunfire came from the hillsides on both sides, and the main force of Li Qinglin's direct squadron finally arrived.

Motianling must leave a platoon to defend the baggage. Li Qinglin brought only more than 120 troops from Motianling this time, plus 100 militias who cooperated with the cooperation, a total of more than 200 people. These more than 200 people climbed up the hills on both sides, and they shot at the Japanese and puppet troops in the mountains from a high place.

Because of the emergency adjustment of the position, the direct squadron also rushed here. They did not have fortifications such as trenches. Now both sides are in field combat, but the forces of the three brigades are in an absolute advantage in the terrain.

There was gunfire on the mountains on both sides, which made Inoue's heart suddenly feel cold. He realized very clearly that the other party had made careful preparations and was waiting to fall into the trap.

Inoue, who had been through a long battle, did not lose his own position, so he immediately commanded the troops to defend and counterattack on the spot.

The Japanese soldiers were not panicked. Under the command of the squad leader Cao, they each found hidden objects and began to shoot against the three brigades. However, the puppet army who strengthened the platoon was really not good. When they felt that they were besieged from three sides, these people began to look around, looking ready to escape from the battlefield at any time.

Neither side had preset fortifications, and they were fighting temporarily based on the terrain, and they entered a stalemate. The cavalry squad and militia who were retreating just now finally took a breath and began to counterattack the pursuing Inoue troops.

Bullets were shot on all sides, and the number of machine guns on the other side was beyond Inoue's expectations, and his troops were at an absolute disadvantage in the terrain. If the opponent had the strength to block his origin, his small troops would be likely to be surrounded and annihilated. After a brief weighing, Inoue issued an order to his subordinates: "Retreat"

Once the retreat order was issued, the first one was the puppet army. They ignored the bullets flying in after their butts. They turned around and wanted to escape. But Inoue had already prepared. When the puppet army just started to want to run, the Japanese machine guns were aimed at these puppet soldiers. Under the threat of the black muzzle, the puppet army had to turn around obediently, lay on the ground and shoot at the three brigades.

The puppet army has actually become a cover force. The soldiers of Inoue Squad began to act. They covered each layer and gradually retreated. Some of them seemed so calm that even Li Qinglin, who was observing the battlefield situation on the top of the mountain, couldn't help but praise him.

Seeing that the Inoue team was about to withdraw from the range of the bullet, at this moment, a sound of "swish..., swish..." was made on the hillside. Then, there was an explosion of "bang, bang..." in the crowd of the Inoue team, and the mortars of the machine gun platoon were fired in time.

The enemy was coming in full force, and the ace in the machine cannon platoon was particularly important. Li Qinglin divided the machine cannon platoon into two, and there were fewer enemies on his side. Li Qinglin asked Deputy Platoon Commander Zhang Lixin to bring a mortar squad to follow him. Platoon Commander Deng Zhongxiang brought the rest of the troops, and brought another mortar and the crooked machine gun to join Feng Zheng's 10th Squadron.

The mortar was originally set up on the predetermined position in front, but now Inoue has not entered there as expected. After receiving Li Qinglin's order, Deng Zhongxiang immediately took the soldiers to quickly move the mortar position forward.

Artillery is a very technical group. It takes a certain amount of time to choose the positions and determine the shooting elements. Deng Zhongxiang's squad is well-trained. They rushed over in the shortest time and established a shooting position. After calculation, the shooting elements of the mortars were determined and the mortars began to fire.

Inoue's troops are less than the three troops and militias surrounding him who attacked him, and he is at a disadvantage in terrain. At present, he can tie the opponent with his three grenade tubes from a grenade tube squad in his hand.

Before Deng Zhongxiang's mortar was fired, these three grenade launchers kept firing at the firepower points of the three battalions and the places where soldiers gathered. The curved ballistics, flexible and variable launch methods and certain-effect surface killing ability of the grenade launchers did play a great role in combat. Even if the third battalion had the advantage of the terrain, the existence of these three grenade launchers was only tied with the troops in Inoue.

"Bang...", "Bang...", Deng Zhongxiang's mortars were constantly firing. Although the number of shots was much less than the three Japanese grenade launchers, the power of the mortar shells was incomparable to 50 mm grenade throws, and its range was beyond the reach of the grenade launchers.

The other party actually had a mortar in his hand, which surprised Inoue, and the Japanese and puppet soldiers under his command were even more shocked.

The 82mm mortar is a heavy firepower weapon only available to the regular barrack-level units of the National Army. According to this inference, the forces of a battalion will be surrounded by a battalion. On his side, there is only one Japanese squad and one reinforced platoon of the Imperial Army. There is only one hundred people in total. In addition, there are more than ten casualties in the blockade just now. In addition, Deng Zhongxiang's mortar shooting was very sudden, and the Japanese and puppets in the valley suffered heavy casualties, especially the Japanese and puppets who were the Japanese have become the key care of the mortars. After several shells exploded, the Japanese machine gun was stopped, and the main shooter with the other erratic hand was also killed. The Japanese firepower dropped sharply.

His small army is about to suffer a catastrophe. This is the first judgment Inoue made after his machine gun was stopped. The most urgent task at present is to take the troops out of this area as soon as possible. Inoue immediately issued an order: "Retreat, retreat quickly."

The Japanese were much faster than the puppet army. They took the wounded and quickly retreated. Seeing that the Japanese behind them had retreated, they were no longer willing to be cannon fodder for the Japanese, so they gave up on resisting and began to turn around and escape.

But they started too late. The cavalry of the third squad had already stepped on the war horses. Almost as the Japanese turned around and ran, the remaining cavalry of the three cavalry squads rushed over with their sabers.

The cavalry and horse skills are actually not very good. Seeing that the veterans of Dong Zhao's squadron are very majestic, they also have sabers. Not many of them can use sabers to slash and kill. They wave sabers to scare the enemy. Their real lethal weapon is the box cannon they hold in their left hand.

The puppet army had only two legs, and of course they could not run away from the cavalry riding on four-legged mules. Seeing that these puppet army could not escape, they simply stopped running away. The puppet army either sat or knelt on the ground, and surrendered with rifles raised in both hands.

The Inoue team retreated very quickly. They had escaped from the effective range of the rifle. They were about to escape from the machine gun range. Now only the firepower of the mortar can be blocked against them.

The Japanese began to escape, and the soldiers and militiamen directly under the squadron on both sides became bolder and began to rush down from the mountains on both sides.

As for the puppet army that surrendered, the cavalry squad of the cavalry threw them to the militia to deal with, and the cavalry riding on the horse began to chase the fleeing Japanese.

Seeing that the ambush troops on the hillside had already begun to pursue, the opponent's cavalry also began to accelerate their pursuit. If they ran slowly, they would be really devastated. In order to escape, Inoue immediately made a cruel decision...
