Bright Sword: Infinite Logistics

Chapter 10 Ambushed

The ravine shown on the map is nearly eighty miles away from Zhangzhuang, and a normal march would take about two days.Hu Sheng took the fifth company, the most elite of the second battalion, and carried dry food, and it took only more than 20 hours to lead the team to the outside of the ravine.

"Chief of Staff, the first and third platoons are here." The instructor of the fifth company reported the situation in a low voice.

Hu Sheng did not let the entire company act together.After greeting the supplementary group, he personally led the second platoon ahead and rushed to the vicinity of the ravine.The first and third rows will come back after a break.

This ravine runs east to west, with hillsides to the north and south. It is really a good terrain for an ambush.If there are enemies ambushing on both sides, the troops in the ravine will suffer disaster.

"Let the first and third platoons seize the commanding heights on both sides and ensure the safety of the surrounding area. Then the second platoon enters the ravine to search for medicines. The medicines should be covered under camouflage nets and pay more attention to the ground."

After Hu Sheng gave the instructions, he took out his rifle case and opened the big and small heads.The commanders of the Eighth Route Army have always fought on the front line.

Soon, one and three platoons each sent correspondents to confirm that they had occupied the hills on both sides.Hu Sheng then personally led the second platoon into the ravine to search for medicines.Dozens of people searched very quickly, but within a few minutes, Hu Sheng heard shouts.

"Chief of Staff, found it!"

I saw a soldier lift up the yellow-green camouflage net on the ground, revealing the densely packed glass bottles under the net.Hu Sheng hurried over, picked up one of the bottles and observed it carefully. He saw that it was no different from the sample bottle at the regiment headquarters. He was relieved and said, "Okay, hurry up and pack these medicines. They are all glass bottles. Remember to handle them with care." put."

"You have to move quickly, it's not safe here. We'll retreat as soon as possible after getting the medicine."

After Hu Sheng finished giving the instructions, he breathed a sigh of relief.Originally, the area near Yunzu was under the control of the New Group and the local group, and was a base area.However, after the First World War in Yuncu, the new regiment withdrew from Zhangzhuang, and the local regiment also moved to rest. Before the two battalions of the supplementary regiment had time to come over, this place had actually become a guerrilla zone.

The last bottle of medicine was put into the soldier's bag, and the camouflage net was rolled up and taken away. Hu Sheng nodded with satisfaction: "Let's go back to the replenishment regiment's station via the original route, take a rest before going to the brigade headquarters."

The fifth company began to march again.It was the same this time. Hu Sheng led the second row to go first, followed by the first and third rows.As long as they enter the control area of ​​​​the supplementary group, they will be safe.

However, Hu Sheng did not know that there were Japanese soldiers waiting for him on his way back.

This is a mountain road running from north to south, with hillsides on both sides. A squadron of Japanese soldiers is ambushing one side of it.Several machine gun groups were concealing machine gun positions, and some old Japanese were holding grenade launchers and gesticulating around the mountain road.

"Captain Zhong, you did a good job. The Imperial Army never treats its friends badly. Next time there is news about the Eighth Route Army, you must tell the Imperial Army!" Taro Yasui smiled and patted a man dressed as a civilian next to him.

"It should, it should." Zhong Yunhe kept smiling.

Taro Anjing nodded with satisfaction.When the commander ordered a retreat a few days ago, he was very angry. It was just two regiments of the Eighth Route Army. They had already beaten each other back. What did retreat mean?We should pursue the victory and eliminate the opponent!Will the well-equipped and fearless imperial army be afraid of those Tubal soldiers?
This made Taro Yasui drink alcohol all day long.

Fortunately, God gave him a chance to make up for his regrets. This bandit named Zhong Yunhe brought him good news: a platoon from the New Regiment of the Eighth Route Army came to look for something near Yuncuo.This news made Taro Yasui immediately excited. The new regiment had slipped away from the alliance and completely disappeared from the map of the imperial army.Now if we could capture this small force...

He immediately led his squadron to ambush on the road Hu Sheng came on, hoping that the Eighth Route Army would return the same way.He was so anxious that he forgot to call his superiors.

"Report, the ambush target has appeared, a total of 43 people." "Hello!" Taro Yasui nodded, and couldn't help but admire the speed of his soldiers.If it had been slower, this battle might have turned into a skirmish.

More than 100 Japanese soldiers quickly hid, with bullets loaded and bayonets loaded, waiting for the Eighth Route Army to enter an ambush position.

This little time passes by in an instant.

boom!
"Shoot!" Taro Yasui pulled the trigger of his gun, and with the sound of his gunshot, the squadron's nine machine guns fired almost simultaneously.Seven or eight Eighth Route Army troops on the mountain road fell immediately, and the other Eighth Route Army soldiers quickly spread out to find bunkers and disappeared from sight.

"Grenade! Fire two rounds first!" Taro Yasui waved his hand.

The top of the hillside is not far from the mountain road, about 100 meters.There is no need to use grenade grenades at this distance.Several Japanese shooters took out modified Type [-] grenades and fired two rapid rounds at the bunker where people might be hiding.

"There are more than seven machine guns on the east slope, at least a squadron!"

"Hygienists, please rescue the wounded! Count the casualties!"

"Grenade cover! Give me suppressive fire from the machine gun!"

A series of battle deployments were issued quickly, and the soldiers calmed down one after another.As dozens of grenades were thrown and exploded, dust and smoke filled the air. The only crooked grenade in the platoon also poured firepower towards the hillside, so that the Japanese in the gaps in the smoke did not dare to show their heads.

Several other soldiers also lay down behind the bunker and raised their guns to fight back. Other soldiers quickly changed bunkers and dragged the wounded, and the health workers began to bandage the wounds of the injured soldiers.Some soldiers also took advantage of the smoke to remove the engineering shovel from behind, quickly dug deep into the prone bunker, and reinforced the excavated soil in front of them.

This is probably the only benefit of homemade grenades. Because of the quality of the gunpowder and the excessive smoke, it can sometimes provide necessary cover.

Hu Sheng was lying behind a tree root, covering his left arm and looking at the Japs.He was lucky enough not to be hit by the first round of machine gun fire, but was only injured by the second round of grenade - a shrapnel cut a large gash in his left arm.

After the health worker bandaged the soldier next to him, he quickly jumped to Hu Sheng's side and checked Hu Sheng's injuries.Hu Sheng changed his posture: "Yang Chuanzong! How many bullets are left in the machine gun?"

"Seventy rounds!" the machine gunner not far away responded.

The three machine gun crew members were not far from Hu Sheng.Yang Chuanzong has finished shooting thirty rounds of bullets, and the ammunition hand is arranging bullets into the ammunition supply funnel in a row, while another person is lying on the ground and quickly digging for a machine gun position.

"No need to save bullets! Open up and hit me!" Hu Sheng roared.

The ammunition hand pressed down on the spring plate, and Yang Chuanzong immediately opened fire.His precise marksmanship was at its best at this moment. A machine gun bullet with a reduced charge knocked down an exposed Japanese soldier through the smoke that dissipated most of it.Then this machine gun suffered from an old problem - jamming.

"I do think so, but this bitch is crooked!" Yang Chuanzong scolded angrily.
