Chapter 588 Infantry Artillery Attracts Puppet Troops
Yuan Shuai pondered.
"The Japs have cannons, and we have cannons too!"
"But we only have two infantry guns, and we didn't bring any 90 mortars!"
"And the puppet army has six Type 6 mortars and six Type 90 infantry guns. Once our infantry guns start firing, all the puppet army's artillery will bombard the European and American artillery positions!"
Wang Shuncheng and Yu Daqing expressed their opinions with concerns on their faces.
Yuan Shuai nodded silently.
"Yes, they do have more artillery than us, but their artillery is concentrated in the middle and rear. If we move the artillery to the left wing or bomb them in an intentional direction, the puppet army's artillery shells will not be able to hit us! But our artillery shells can fall on the puppet army's positions. At this time, the puppet army will definitely send people out to find us, and we can use guerrilla tactics to kill them!"
"We have few people and many puppet soldiers. We can't kill them all at once. We can only find a way to break them up into small pieces and annihilate them step by step!"
"Okay, that's a good idea!"
"The boss is still wise!"...
Early the next morning, Yuan Shuai led his men to quickly move to the left wing and stopped behind a hillside more than 2,000 meters away from the puppet army's position.
However, General Yuan came to the hillside and looked at the puppet army's position in the distance ahead with his artillery telescope.
However, General Yuan did not rush to fire, but first found various heavy firepower points on the puppet army's positions.
These heavy firepower points are concentrated with light and heavy machine guns.
Soon, Yuan Shuai marked the heavy firepower points he could see, and then quickly calculated the coordinates. He asked Tie Xiaogang to notify the infantry artillery behind to bombard from the first marked firepower point.
At the same time, Tie Xiaogang made corrections based on the location of the first explosion, and notified Xiao Digu and Shanmao behind the mountain again to bomb them.
In this way, the puppet army's heavy firepower points were eliminated one by one by the infantry artillery.
The angry puppet soldiers gritted their teeth and cursed, and quickly called the artillery to ask them to provide them with artillery support.
Although the puppet army's artillery had also fired towards Yuan Shuai's artillery position.
But the range of the artillery shells was not far enough, and the artillery technology was not very good. The farthest shell only exploded on the hill in front of Yuan Shuai.
And Yuan Shuai's artillery shells were still bombarding the puppet army positions in front.
After clearing out the puppet army's heavy firepower points, artillery shells began to bombard the puppet army's trenches.
Many puppet soldiers in the trenches were killed or injured by shrapnel from artillery shells.
"Damn it, notify the troops on the right wing to rush out of the position and destroy their artillery!"
The puppet army was extremely angry.
Although he really didn't want his people to leave their position.
But if he continues to fight like this, his troops on the right wing will probably be wiped out.
In order to defend the right wing position, he also notified the artillery to transfer two infantry guns and two 90 mortars to the right wing position.
When Yuan Shuai's brothers saw the puppet troops rushing out of the position, they were all very happy.
"Come out, come out!"
"The puppet troops were finally lured out by our artillery shells!"
"Damn, there are so many puppet soldiers, probably a whole company!"
"withdraw!"
Yuan Shuai shouted and quickly led his men to retreat, while firing into the sky to attract the puppet troops to prevent them from getting lost.
The combat effectiveness of these puppet troops was not very good, and they did not have much combat experience.
When he heard the gunshots, he immediately ran towards the direction of the gunshots.
Yuan Shuai quickly found a place and set up the pocket formation.
When the puppet army company commander led his men into the pocket formation, the men in three directions quickly opened fire. The brothers in the other direction quickly closed the encirclement and surrounded all the puppet troops in the valley.
On the other side, Hami melon's team was having breakfast when they heard gunshots one after another. Everyone stood up and looked in the direction where the sound came from.
"Major, could it be that our reinforcements have been surrounded by puppet troops?"
One of the men looked at the cantaloupe with a worried look on his face.
Hami melon frowned and shook his head and said.
"Impossible. If reinforcements come, they will definitely contact me via radio!"
"Who could that be? Could it be Yuan Shuai and the others?"
"How is that possible? There are only a few of them. I'm afraid they have been killed by the Japanese and puppet troops long ago! It could be another Chinese unit! So, no matter who it is, send three scouts to check out the situation!"
Hamigua always felt that he had too few people, so he quickly sent people to scout. If he could find another Chinese army, they could help him and they could work together to find a way to break into the prisoner-of-war camp.
The three scouts quickly moved towards the direction of the gunshot.
Unfortunately, before they arrived, the surrounded puppet troops had been completely wiped out by Yuan Shuai and others.
Yuan Shuai left a sentry in each of the four directions, and the others went to collect the spoils.
A company of more than a hundred puppet soldiers were all lying in a pool of blood.
Although a large number of weapons and ammunition were seized, these puppet troops all came out from their positions.
When they ate on the battlefield, the food was delivered to them by the cooks in the rear who carried loads on their shoulders.
So they didn't carry any canned food or dry food.
"Damn it, there's not a single can of food, not even a grain of dry food!"
After cleaning up the battlefield, Wang Shuncheng ran to Yuan Shuai to complain in dissatisfaction.
"Boss, we are not short of ammunition now, and we can get ammunition supply every time we kill a puppet soldier, but food is a big problem. Although we still have a lot of food, if there is no food supply for a long time, the food will be eaten up sooner or later!"
Wang Shuncheng gave a serious reminder.
Yuan Shuai nodded helplessly.
"Yes, we should find a way to get some food. We can't just sit there and eat up all the food. But we can't stay here for long. We should retreat first!"
"withdraw!"
Wang Shuncheng had no other choice but to lead his team to evacuate quickly.
It didn't take long for them to withdraw.
Here come three scouts from Cantaloupe.
Seeing the corpses all over the ground, the three scouts opened their eyes and mouths wide.
"Damn it! More than a hundred puppet soldiers were killed!"
"Not one escaped!"
"Who the hell are these people?"
"Oh no, there are people over there, probably puppet troops coming, retreat quickly!"
A soldier saw some movement not far away and quickly evacuated with the other two scouts.
Behind them were the scouts sent by the puppet army.
They had also heard the sounds of fierce fighting here.
However, the puppet army did not send out many people, only sent out a squad of scouts to investigate the situation.
When they arrived here and saw that their entire company had been wiped out, the puppet soldiers in this squad were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they were covered in cold sweat.
"Damn, what kind of troops are these!"
"They wiped out an entire company!"
"Captain, why don't we retreat quickly? They are too powerful!"
One soldier was so frightened that the gun he was holding was shaking.
"Shut up, we're here to scout. They must have already retreated! Let's look for their footprints first!"
The puppet army squad leader was also very scared, but he knew that if he didn't find the direction, he would inevitably be beaten black and blue by his platoon leader when he returned.
