117 Katyusha rocket launcher debuts
"Matsumoto-kun, don't be so nervous.
I’m just stating my feelings.”
When the Japanese colonel saw his men becoming nervous, he hurried to explain.
"Hi!"
Then, the Japanese lieutenant colonel also looked around and spoke after a moment: "Sir, Captain, let me tell you.
I also feel like something is wrong, it’s too quiet around here.”
Just this one sentence instantly changed the expression of the Japanese regiment commander, who originally thought that he was overthinking.
Lu Lu Lu!
Immediately, the Japanese regiment commander reined in his horse.
"Stop the team."
Then, the Japanese regiment commander gave orders with a cold face.
"Huh? Hi!"
The Japanese lieutenant colonel next to him was puzzled for a moment, then immediately responded.
Soon, as the Japanese regiment commander gave the order, the long Japanese army stopped advancing.
"Damn it, what happened? Why did the Japanese troops stop?"
Ye Qingshan's heart, which had just been put at ease, was hanging again.
At this time, the Japanese army, which was several miles long, was only one section away from completely entering the ambush circle.
Ye Qingshan waited for the last small group of Japanese soldiers to enter the ambush circle, and then gave the attack order to Sun Mingxu's rocket artillery battalion.
As a result, at this last moment, the Japanese troops actually stopped.
At this time, the Japanese regiment commander was riding on his horse, scanning the surrounding mountains.
The more I looked at him, the more something seemed wrong.
"Send a few teams to explore the surrounding mountains."
The Japanese regiment commander gave the order.
"Hi!"
After a while, several Japanese squads opened fire on the mountains on both sides of the railway line.
Da da da!
Bullets hit Lu Dahai and others, who were hiding in an ambush position and did not dare to show their heads.
They have not received Ye Qingshan's attack signal yet.
"Damn it, these devils won't find us."
Lu Dahai and others were a little panicked.
When Ye Qingshan saw this scene, he immediately understood that the Japanese commander was becoming suspicious of his surroundings.
Although Ye Qingshan didn't know what made the Japanese captain suspicious.
But at this point, there was nothing that could be done.
We can only do it in advance.
Otherwise, if we give the Japanese a little more time, maybe the Japanese commander will really discover the situation.
At this moment, he was just suspicious. What if he really discovered the situation?
If the Japanese troops enter combat status, the effectiveness of their ambush will be greatly reduced.
Ye Qingshan made a prompt decision and issued an order: "Send flares, attack."
The Japanese captain Yamada looked at several Japanese squads who were using machine guns to continuously fire at the surrounding mountains.
In the end, he didn't see how many birds appeared.
This made his face change drastically, and he knew there was an ambush around.
"retreat!"
Immediately, the Japanese captain shouted loudly.
"what!"
The Japanese officer next to him was stunned.
"Baka, I said retreat immediately, there are..."
Whoosh!
At this moment, a red flare rose into the sky from a mountain far away in the southeast direction.
Whether it was Lu Dahai, Zhou Xinghai, Wang Dachuan and others, they were all waiting for Ye Qingshan's attack signal.
At this time, they finally waited for it.
"Commander Ye's signal."
"Attack, hit me hard!"
Lu Dahai roared, leaned out of the trench and opened fire at the Japanese near the railway line below.
At the same time, the Kuomintang soldiers in the trenches in other positions also stood up and started shooting.
Da da da!
Intensive gunfire instantly spread all around.
Boom!
Explosions were everywhere!
The Japanese soldiers near the railway line were also shocked by this sudden attack.
They immediately dispersed, some sought cover and some fired at the surroundings.
Some Japanese squads have quickly gathered together and prepared to counterattack.
Faced with such an ambush, the response of these Japanese soldiers was absolutely elite in that era.
"Damn it, those damn Chinese people knew our plan.
How dare they ambush us?
Organize a team immediately and fight back."
Even the commander of the 117th Regiment, Masashi Yamada, was furious after being ambushed.
The first reaction is to fight back.
They had encountered ambushes by the Kuomintang army before.
I'm already quite experienced in dealing with this.
The Japanese captain, Captain Yamada, was very confident, even though he was ambushed by the National Army.
We are also confident of breaking out.
After all, the Japs have an absolute advantage in heavy firepower.
Later, he only needed to use artillery fire to clear a path and he could completely tear a gap in the encirclement.
What's more, the place where they were ambushed was only four or five hours away from the headquarters of their Sixth Mixed Brigade in the north.
Their reinforcements will arrive soon.
In this situation, the Japanese captain was even less panicked.
He even felt that this might be a good opportunity to defeat the national army that ambushed them.
As long as they can hold each other back here.
When their brigade's support troops arrive, these Kuomintang troops that ambushed them will be destroyed.
And in this ambush, within a minute after the battle began.
The situation on the Kuomintang side was indeed not much different from the Kuomintang ambush they had encountered before.
The Japanese commander, Captain Yamada, has already figured out how to counterattack.
How to delay Ye Qingshan and his men, and how to annihilate Ye Qingshan's national army in the end.
There was no panic on the Japanese regiment commander's face, and he was still directing the battle.
At the same time, three kilometers away from Sun Mingxu, twelve rocket launcher vehicles were lined up in a row.
Whoosh whoosh!
As each rocket is fired from the launch rail, it makes a unique sound.
The rockets that were launched, with bright tail flames, headed straight for the Japanese in the ambush circle three kilometers away.
For these rockets, the distance of three kilometers can be reached in a flash.
Boom!
As the first rocket fell, there was a huge explosion.
Directly blow away all the Japanese within a few meters.
The rockets that fell one after another were as dense as raindrops.
Boom boom boom!
Violent explosions began to cover the Japanese in the ambush circle from the north.
When a 132mm caliber rocket fell, any Japanese soldiers within a radius of ten meters who survived were lucky.
The enemy's tanks and armored vehicles were hit and blown into pieces immediately.
"Nani?"
After seeing this scene, the Japanese captain Yamada was stunned.
Then, I finally saw fear on his face, and he no longer had the confidence he had before.
"The Chinese heavy artillery, they actually sent in heavy artillery to ambush us.
Damn it, why do the Chinese still have heavy artillery at this time? "
The Japanese regiment commander was going crazy and yelling hysterically.
He knew all too well what the consequences would be if he were covered and hit by the enemy's heavy artillery fire.
Their team is finished.
Even if they can break out in this battle, they are bound to suffer heavy losses.
