Chapter 786 The devil is chasing me again

Yu Zecheng attached great importance to this attack! The first thing was that no soldiers could die! Even if they were injured, they could not do it. He immediately arranged for the soldiers to pile sacks on the ridge.

Those sacks were ready-made, and the soldiers carried them and piled them on the ridge, leaving a one-foot-square shooting hole underneath.

The artillery commanded by Sichuan Zhiyou also piled sacks on the ridge. He set up the artillery position on the west side of the ridge.

Seeing the soldiers busy, Yu Zecheng looked at his watch and saw that it was already half past six. He looked to the west; he knew that Wu Kuiyuan and others had already reached the other side, and he had no worries anymore.

At the same time, Yu Zecheng also knew that the team he led had become a lonely army. As for the 555th Regiment, he did not dare to get close. After all, the 555th Regiment once colluded with the 374th Regiment.

Half an hour later, the soldiers were ready for battle.

Yu Zecheng shouted: "Soldiers, take the opportunity to eat something now! You have been fighting and running from last night to now. Next, you will have more intense battles! Take the time to replenish some nutrition, physical fitness is combat effectiveness

!”

Li Zaitian laughed and said: "Master, you led us to fight such a beautiful battle of annihilation and ambush; you were able to kill so many Japanese, and we didn't even feel tired."

Sichuan Zhimail also came over and said: "Master, I really enjoy fighting with you. My talents have been fully utilized. I feel that I am still the top pick of the Tokyo Infantry School!"

Yu Zecheng understood Sichuan Zhimail very well; because he was unsuccessful in the Japanese army, and no Japanese army thought highly of him. But here, he is a real artillery company commander!

At this time, Qian Ping shouted: "Master, the Japanese are coming! They are two thousand meters away!"

Yu Zecheng immediately came to the sack position, raised his telescope and took a closer look. He saw that there were only about 200 Japanese soldiers. An idea immediately surged in his mind...

Yu Zecheng shouted: "The machine gun platoon and the first platoon of the special company will hit the Japs within 150 to 250 meters, and the second platoon of the special company will hit the Japs between 250 and 300 meters. There is no need to aim."

Jing's soldiers are to attack the Japanese three hundred meters away. The artillery company must kill the Japanese artillery and heavy machine guns in time. Do you understand?"

"Got it!" Several squad leaders shouted in unison.

Yu Zecheng shouted again: "Everyone, cheer up and shoot one Japanese at a time! If this ambush is fought well, these Japanese reinforcements will not even think about going back!"

Everyone laughed! It was the kind of smile full of confidence.

Guo Kunping was the most depressed in the previous ambush battles! He was arranged by Yu Zecheng to observe from the back and did not participate in the battle.

The reason given by Yu Zecheng is: each ambush operation lasts only two or three minutes, and the machine gun cannot play any role at all, and it is easy to expose the muzzle sparks, causing casualties.

Guo Kunping had no reason to refute.

Judging from the results of the observation, Guo Kunping admired Yu Zecheng even more: 'How could he come up with such a magical battle plan? It is not at the same level as the pot army. He annihilated the Japanese and so many field army soldiers without any casualties!

Awesome!'

This time, Guo Kunping finally took the opportunity to fight the Japanese! He shouted to the twelve Guo Army soldiers: "The opportunity for revenge has come! Look, he is a servant, and he can fight such a powerful enemy with only three or eight pieces in his hand.

The results of the battle. Our machine gun platoon cannot fall behind. We must display the momentum of the Thirty-Eighth Division!"

"Yes!" Twelve machine gunners shouted in unison.

The Japanese who came to reinforce Nanjinguan this time came with two complete squadrons, plus an artillery squad, totaling more than 430 Japanese. They were led by Japanese captain Kuroda.

In the opinion of the commander of the Japanese garrison in Yichang, even if the Guo Army comes with a regiment, this force can push the Guo Army back, and can even cooperate with the Nanjin Pass defenders to annihilate them.

When the Japanese troops rushed to Nanjinguan, they saw many Japanese soldiers lying naked in the trenches wearing only loincloths.

Some Japs were shot in the head, and some were stabbed in the neck; all were fatal injuries!

"Wow!" Lieutenant Commander Kuroda shouted hoarsely with sparks in his eyes: "All Chinese soldiers are dead! (Chinese soldiers are all fighting to the death!)"

Then, Kuroda drew out his command sword, waved it towards the west, and shouted: "Pursue me!"

In this way, Kuroda left a detachment at Nanjinguan to deal with the Japanese's funeral affairs, and accelerated the pursuit with the Japanese.

During the first ambush of Yu Zecheng's troops, eighteen artillery shells killed more than 20 Japanese and injured more than 30. Among them, Captain Kuroda's command structure was hit by the shells. He was very honored.

The man on the ground was hit in the abdomen and right chest by shrapnel from a mortar explosion, causing serious injuries!

In addition to the more than 30 Japanese who were killed by sharpshooters, this time the number of Japanese soldiers was reduced to more than 80!

Captain Yamasaki took over the command. He left more than thirty Japanese soldiers to take care of and transport the wounded, and ordered the rest of the army to continue the pursuit!

When encountering the second ambush, more than ten Japanese were killed and more than ten seriously injured by Sichuan direct mail artillery. In addition, more than fifty Japanese were killed by rifles, and the Japanese were reduced by more than seventy.

Captain Yamazaki was lucky enough to be shot directly in the head by a bullet, becoming the second highest casualty of the Japanese commander.

This time, Captain Sato took over the command of the troops. He almost went crazy! The Japs are the most vindictive race. He left another thirty Japs to take care of the wounded, and continued the pursuit with the Japs in their early 200s.

Yu Zecheng's troops.

This Sato is a bit smart. He carefully surveyed the scene of the ambush. He found that most of the Locust Army soldiers and Yamazaki were killed by headshots, indicating that the enemy had many snipers!

At the same time, he also discovered that the enemy's two ambushes were both in mountain cols. In this way, the ambushers on the opposite side could shoot from a high position, so they were very accurate.

Sato immediately asked the staff of the brigade headquarters to bring the map. After reading it carefully, he came up with a plan.

Then there was the shelling.

Sato knew that if this consumption continued, his entire army would be annihilated. He decided to wait until dawn before pursuing the pursuit. In this way, both sides would be on the same starting line and avoid being killed by the enemy in a one-way transparent manner in the dark.

Only then did the Japanese pursue them to the first line of defense at dawn.

More than two hundred Japanese soldiers pursued them in columns, widening the distance to about 400 meters.

~

When Sichuan Zhiyou saw that the Japanese had all descended from the mountain, he measured it with a rangefinder, then fiddled with a caliper and found that the Japanese team was about 400 meters long.

He knew that Yu Zecheng's order was for the Japanese forwards to shoot when they reached a distance of 150 meters. So, when the gun was fired, the Japanese rearguard was about 550 meters away from the ridge.

The strike range of a gunner with a scope is within 400 meters.
