Chapter 224 Soldiers are also deceitful
About fifteen minutes later, the Japanese noticed that there was no movement ahead and mistakenly thought that the day was over, so everyone stopped.
At this time, the people of the second company started the previous operation again. In any case, they would not let the Japanese have a moment's rest.
The Japanese had no choice but to continue with their previous actions, but they were worried that the last time was fake and this time was real.
After all, there is an old Chinese saying: "Warfare is the art of deception, false and real, real and false."
The rest of the Sichuan Army Corps, after having a delicious meal of compressed biscuits and canned beef, fell asleep one after another.
But the Japanese were in bad luck. They didn't dare to gamble whether the Sichuan Army would launch a feint attack or a real attack next time, so they could only passively defend every time.
At one o'clock in the morning, Kong Hao took advantage of the Second Company's attack and decisively raided the Japanese artillery positions in the rear, killing the Japanese garrison troops, blowing up all the artillery and then evacuating smoothly.
Compared to the Chinese army which has no experience in dealing with special operations, the Japanese army is the same. To some extent, both sides are at the same level in this regard.
Captain Jingguchi never imagined that their rear would be attacked by surprise, and the attack was carried out silently, killing all the defenders and then evacuating silently.
After all, this kind of combat method is extremely demanding on the individual qualities of soldiers. An infantry regiment may not even have one such person, and they have to undergo long-term and brutal training.
How could ordinary Japanese soldiers have imagined that there are such powerful troops in the world? In addition, Kong Hao made use of the night and the cover of friendly forces, which made it even easier for him to do so.
Silently attacking a position is the most common operation for the current special forces.
Captain Iguchi learned that the explosion in the artillery position in the rear had caused a fire, and then he realized that his rear had been attacked. When he arrived, he found that the entire artillery position had been destroyed, and the barrels of the two Type 92 infantry guns had been stuffed with grenades, and they were all scrapped.
Only then did he realize that the real target of the Sichuan Army tonight was here, and everything before was a feint.
I have to say that this move by the Sichuan Army was indeed quite ruthless. After losing the artillery, tomorrow's battle will be a bit difficult to fight.
Especially weapons like the Type 92 infantry gun, which are difficult to replenish in a short period of time. It seems that tomorrow's battle can only rely on the soldiers' desperate efforts.
Captain Long and Chief of Staff He had not gone to bed yet until they saw loud explosions and flames rising into the sky behind the Japanese.
When they saw that Kong Hao had succeeded, they immediately felt relieved and found a place to sleep.
In fact, the two of them haven't had a good night's sleep for a long time. The total sleep time in the past four or five days has not exceeded eight hours.
Facing an opponent of this level, if they were not careful the whole army would be wiped out, so these two had no choice but to be fully alert to deal with it.
When our weapons, equipment and personnel training are inferior to those of the enemy, we can only think of ways by taking advantage of the time, place and strategy.
This also led to Captain Long and Chief of Staff Guo thinking about ways to break the impasse day and night, and the mental exhaustion they put in can be imagined.
Today we finally saw the dawn of victory. We have enough ammunition, and the Japanese artillery has been destroyed. All we have to do tomorrow is to hold on.
When they thought of this, they began to feel sleepy. After giving a few instructions to the battalion commander on duty, they fell into a deep sleep.
At around eight o'clock the next morning, they were awakened by a burst of artillery fire. The two men hurriedly got up and wanted to check what was going on.
Captain Long ran out with his clothes on, shouting as he ran:
"Where are the artillery fires? Where are the artillery fires? Are the Japs attacking again?"
In his impression, the Japanese artillery should have been destroyed before he went to bed. Logically speaking, the enemy should not be able to bombard the Sichuan Army's positions anymore.
However, when he came out, he found that it was his own artillery that was conducting live ammunition shooting.
When Captain Gousheng saw his own regiment commander coming out, he hurried over to claim credit:
"Reporting to the regiment commander and the chief of staff, the Sichuan Army's artillery company is conducting live-fire shooting. Please give instructions."
"Gousheng, why did you do this so early in the morning? I thought the Japanese were going to attack again. You scared me so much."
Gou Sheng said with a joking face, "It's getting late. I saw through the telescope that the Japanese were eating breakfast. I remembered that I was bullied by their artillery in the past few days, so I wanted to give the enemy a hard dish."
After hearing this, Chief of Staff He immediately smiled and said, "Boy, you always come up with something new, but I like it."
"By the way, what was the result?"
"Reporting to the Chief of Staff, our unit consumed six rounds of artillery shells, destroyed three enemy cauldrons, killed eight enemies, and the number of injured is too numerous to count."
Captain Long was so happy to see that they had achieved such good results in one go that he couldn't stop smiling.
"Good, very good. Keep up the good work. We have no shortage of shells now. Whenever we see a large group of Japanese soldiers gathering together, we'll bomb them to death and give our Sichuan Army Corps a chance to vent their anger."
"Take advantage of his illness to kill him."
In the past few days, the Japanese relied on their equipment advantage to wantonly bombard the Sichuan Army's positions, and they had no means of counterattack.
This situation where they can only take beatings and cannot fight back makes everyone feel too aggrieved. They are holding their breath in their hearts, wondering why they can only be bombed.
Now the Sichuan Army Corps also has its own artillery company, and this time let the Japanese have a taste of what it feels like to be bombed.
After everyone was happy, they started to eat breakfast. Today they had white flour buns and porridge with sugar. These were all seized from the Japanese transport team. It was a hearty breakfast.
The Sichuan Army has had a hard life since leaving Sichuan. They rarely have a full meal. Today's breakfast is the most delicious thing in the world for them.
On the other hand, the Japanese were in a gloomy situation.
The supply convoy that was supposed to be delivered to them yesterday was snatched away by the Sichuan Army on the opposite side, resulting in not only a shortage of weapons and ammunition, but even food was in short supply.
In addition, many Japanese soldiers did not sleep well last night and were extremely nervous, fearing that if they were not careful, the Sichuan Army would rush up and kill them like chickens.
At dawn today, the Sichuan Army finally retreated, giving the Japanese a break.
Just when all the Japanese soldiers had dark circles under their eyes and wanted to eat something to comfort their wounded hearts and tired bodies.
Due to food shortage, the soldiers of the Jingkou Battalion had porridge for breakfast today. Only officers could eat rice balls and canned meat. This has caused dissatisfaction among many people.
But unexpectedly, when the Japanese were preparing to line up for dinner, a mortar shell fell from the sky and landed directly in the center of the rice pot.
Logically speaking, the Japanese infantry were well-trained, especially with their own weapons, which they were very familiar with.
When they saw the shells falling, they immediately threw away the lunch boxes in their hands and ran away to avoid them.
