Chapter 328 Bai Luo's Stolen Opportunity by His Own People
What Bai Luo didn't know was that this group of Japanese soldiers who had just left the city had already been targeted by another group.
At this moment, on a dirt slope beside a road about 10 kilometers southwest of Ershi City.
"Captain, the brothers are in position. The Japanese are less than 2 kilometers away from our ambush site."
After hearing the report from Captain Sun Jiahao, Zhang Yunhai pressed the walkie-talkie on his chest and spoke.
"Attention all squad leaders, 4th Squad, your mission is to keep an eye on the artillery and logistics troops at the rear of the Japanese lines."
When the battle begins, I don't want to hear the sound of the Japanese firing their cannons.
"Yes."
The voice of Xiang Qing, the captain of the fourth squad, came through the earpiece.
"Second squad, third squad. Your mission is the most important. You must inflict the greatest casualties on the Japanese as quickly as possible the moment the battle begins."
"Yes Yes."
Liu Ai, the second squad leader, was leading his team in setting up directional mines on the wasteland beside the dirt road.
And Tao Liqi, the third squad leader, who was hiding more than 100 meters away on the other side of the road and was now standing at the cat car shooting position, responded in unison.
"First squad, follow me and engage them head-on."
"Yes."
Sun Jiahao, who was standing next to Zhang Yunhai, responded.
More than 10 minutes later.
Finally, the figures of Japanese soldiers came into Zhang Yunhai's view.
At the same time, several squad leaders continuously relayed information about the Japanese battalion's troop deployment through the earpiece.
Leading the way were three Japanese trucks, each with a machine gun mounted on top, carrying what appeared to be a Japanese machine gun squadron of soldiers.
Because it was nighttime, the Japanese trucks weren't traveling very fast.
Closely following the truck were four companies of Japanese infantry.
Further on, there was also a Japanese artillery squad.
At the very back of the column was the Japanese logistics unit, consisting of a caravan of more than 10 mules and 2 transport trucks.
Each of the two trucks was towing a Type 92 infantry gun.
As the three squad leaders continued to report on the specific situation of the Japanese battalion in front of them.
For the first time, Zhang Yunhai realized that fighting could be so easy. First, there was the intelligence, which was provided by Zhang Qing, because during this period Zhang Yunhai was responsible for attacking Japanese squads that went out to capture laborers.
This requires the support of intelligence within the city, so Zhang Yunhai has been asking Zhang Qing for intelligence from time to time recently.
This time was no exception. Zhang Qing first told Bai Luo about the Japanese battalion leaving the city, and then habitually told Zhang Yunhai as well.
Secondly, there's the equipment.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yunhai immediately led his team in two trucks and more than ten sleds to take a shortcut to the front of the Japanese battalion, where they laid directional mines and concealed the sleds.
Finally, there's communication on the battlefield.
Zhang Yunhai watched as the three Japanese trucks led by Da Tou entered the minefield set up by the first squad.
He immediately pressed the communication button on his chest and shouted.
"beat!"
The moment Zhang Yunhai gave the order to attack, Sun Jiahao immediately pressed the detonation button for the minefield.
"Boom boom boom boom".
The violent explosion shattered the tranquility of the night sky.
The first three Japanese transport trucks were blown into three large fireballs.
The Japanese soldiers inside the carriage were instantly engulfed by the raging fire.
The desperate screams of the Japanese soldiers came from inside the carriage, but were quickly swallowed up by the fire and the explosions of ammunition inside the carriage.
The four Japanese infantry squadrons in the middle immediately dispersed and sought cover after discovering that the trucks ahead were under attack.
But as soon as the Japanese soldiers formed their formation, dozens of directional mines that the second squad had placed near the roadside were detonated.
In the instant dozens of directional mines exploded, tens of thousands of steel balls, carrying terrifying kinetic energy, rained down on the Japanese soldiers searching for cover on the dirt road.
In an instant, a large number of Japanese infantrymen in the middle of the formation fell.
Before the Japanese soldiers who had narrowly escaped the directional mine attack could even react...
On the other side of the dirt road, in the wasteland.
The distinctive hum of a Gatling gun could be heard.
“Buzz buzz buzz…”
The 7.62 Gatling guns on the 16 cat-themed cars simultaneously sounded the death knell.
Like a sickle harvesting wheat, they relentlessly reaped the Japanese infantrymen who had just escaped death on the dirt road.
In less than two minutes, not a single Japanese soldier in sight was still standing.
After the Gatling ceasefire,
The second and third squads immediately began to approach the Japanese soldiers on the dirt road in groups of three.
They launched a final attack on the Japanese infantry, who had already suffered two fatal blows.
The STG-44 assault rifle in his hand kept spitting out fire, sending the Japanese soldiers who were still alive on the ground back to their hometowns, while occasionally clearing out Lao Liu who was hiding in the pile of corpses.
As for the Japanese artillery squad and the Japanese logistics transport team at the very back.
They were blown away by the rocket launcher of the fourth squad at the very beginning of the battle.
Only two Japanese trucks were left.
At this moment, they had joined the mopping-up operation against the remaining Japanese infantry who were still barely clinging to life.
After 20 minute, the battle was completely over.
Looking at the Japanese corpses scattered all over the ground, Zhang Yunhai suddenly had the illusion that he was dreaming.
The battle ended too quickly. If only they were still the old 9th Army.
To wipe out such a large Japanese battalion, the battle would not end in less than a day or two.
Moreover, even if they could wipe out a battalion of Japanese soldiers, their own casualties would not be less than those of the Japanese.
The battle ended in less than half an hour, and they only had about 200 people on their side.
Only a few unlucky ones were hit in the arm or thigh by stray bullets.
However, he mainly relied on the bulletproof vest he was wearing.
Otherwise, the soldiers who were shot in the chest would have suffered more than just bruises on their chests.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yunhai touched the somewhat heavy vest he was wearing.
However, the only thing that gave Zhang Yunhai a headache was the terrifyingly high ammunition consumption.
In just two minutes, the 16 cat-themed cars fired nearly 30,000 bullets.
Thinking about this, Zhang Yunhai felt a little guilty.
I can only hope that the young manager will scold me less when he finds out.
Meanwhile, the young manager Zhang Yunhai mentioned was still lying in wait near the new base of the Red Party.
