Chapter 758 Head-On Attack
Ready to fight!
Following Luo Yao's order, all combatants entered combat positions. In addition to the necessary staff, the non-combatants were also ready to join the battle at any time.
"Team leader, look, the Japs have divided their forces. Over there, there is at least one combat squad heading towards the commanding heights of Baolin Temple. Over here, they have divided their forces into two parts..."
Luo Yao nodded. The old Japanese attack method was to attack from the front to attract firepower, then attack in a roundabout way from the other side, and then decide the victory in one battle. It was simple, effective, and tried and true.
This is a fresh trick that can be eaten all over the world.
If the people on the mountain didn't notice at all and were suddenly hit, they might not even be able to block a frontal attack.
But now we are fully prepared.
We have even figured out the Japanese tactics. We can't fight this battle however we want, but it depends on the quality of the soldiers.
Luo Yao hadn't fought much, so he was still a little nervous. The little devils he faced were all veterans of many battles.
It's not impossible that the boat could capsize in the gutter.
After discovering the traces of the Japanese, Luo Yao immediately sent a telegram for help to the headquarters of the Fifth Theater Commander.
However, it would take an hour for the nearest troops to arrive. Based on this time, they would have to wait at Baolin Temple for at least half an hour.
"Tell Platoon Leader Cheng that the enemy will shoot within two hundred meters, and the minimum should not exceed one hundred and fifty meters. Don't be greedy for credit." Luo Yao gave a serious order.
"Why?"
Wei Zhiming didn't understand. The closer the enemy was to the enemy, the easier it would be to hit them. The distance was so far, and the accuracy was much worse.
"Counsel Wei, our mission is not to eliminate this group of Japs, but to prevent them from going up the mountain. Don't think that we can eat these Japs in one go. If they can come through our blockade, they must have experienced many battles." Veterans, we may not be their opponents in a one-on-one confrontation." Luo Yao explained, "If we can delay it for a while until reinforcements arrive, we can attack them from above and below to keep them, do you understand?"
When Wei Zhiming heard this, he was instantly excited. He was a little too ambitious, but the young military commander in front of him always remained wise and calm, and he had no plans left.
Is this the difference between people?
The first to engage in battle was the first blocking position of Baolin Temple where Cheng Zian was stationed.
The gunshot sounded very suddenly.
No warning.
Second Lieutenant Kozuka, who directed the attack, was also surprised. The enemy was actually prepared and discovered their traces in advance.
This is never a good thing.
However, Kozuka did not immediately order a retreat. Instead, he attacked. He no longer concealed his identity and launched a fierce attack in a skirmish formation.
The little devil's individual soldier quality is really great. Luo Yao can see clearly through the telescope. In comparison, although his side is fighting very hard, if it were not for the advantage of geographical location and firepower, he would probably be attacked by one. , his first line of defense outside Baolin Temple was torn open.
Another group of Japanese troops, led by Yagyu Yoshizawa himself, heard that the fire was coming from Kozuka's side, with a fierce look in their eyes, and ordered to advance quickly, no longer covering up.
Do!
A mortar shell fell into the middle of the attacking Japs, and exploded with a bang. A Japs was blown up into the air by the air wave, and fell hard on the rocks. His eyes, ears, mouth and nose kept coming out. Braving blood, it looked like there was no way to save him.
Baolin Temple is actually equipped with mortars?
Yagyu Yoshizawa was startled. This really surprised him, but it also confirmed that the surveying and mapping team called 401 in Baolin Temple must be a particularly important department in the Fifth War Zone and an important target for him to lurk in this time.
"Quick, move forward!" Yagyu Yoshizawa was unwilling to be intimidated. Instead, he aroused his ferocity, pulled out his command sword, and ordered loudly.
"beat!"
Luo Yao was waiting for them here. When he saw that this group of Japanese soldiers were approaching, he didn't open fire yet.
Just raise your hand and shoot.
The machine gunner, who could no longer hold himself back, took off the camouflage on the gun, revealing the black muzzle, pulled the trigger, and fired.
There is an ambush!
A Japanese soldier next to Yagyu Yoshizawa was shot through the head and came down on him. He was frightened out of his wits. How could there be an ambush here? He had clearly gotten rid of the pursuing national army.
How did the Chinese know that they were preparing to kill someone?
Just when he was puzzled, the battle had already begun, and the two sides suddenly entered the stage of hand-to-hand combat.
Yagyu Yoshizawa is a smart man and calmed down instantly. Since the enemies on the mountain were already prepared, and the firepower was not inferior to his own.
Their goal has been failed. If they continue to fight, they are afraid that none of them will be able to escape until the opponent's reinforcements arrive.
Immediately order a retreat!
"No, team leader, the kid is trying to escape!" Yang Fan was the first to see the Japanese troops' cross-covering retreat and shouted immediately.
"I saw it, tiger, pursue it carefully, don't fall into the enemy's plan!" Luo Yao said in a deep voice. It's not that he is timid, but that anything can happen in battle. Sometimes retreating may not necessarily mean retreating, or even retreating. Just an action.
Lure your opponent into pursuing them, and then launch a counterattack.
After all, it is much easier to attack enemies in fortifications than to break away from strong fortifications and bunkers. Even counterattacking one by one and then covering them up can determine the outcome in one fell swoop.
Sure enough, Yang Fan led his men to pursue him, but only at the tail end and never in contact with him.
Yagyu Yoshizawa saw that his move of feigning defeat and retreat failed to lure Luo Yao to chase them all down, so he could only turn the fake retreat into a real retreat.
The same goes for the Japanese troops on Cheng Zian's side. Although they almost reached the mountain gate, they were still beaten down.
In addition, Yagyu Yoshizawa's sneak attack failed, so he could only leave seven or eight corpses and evacuate down the mountain.
Cheng Zian was not as smart as Luo Yao. Seeing the Japanese retreating, he naturally led his troops to pursue him. The result was obvious, and he was beaten back.
Cheng Zian lost nearly half of his squad at once. Fortunately, the Japanese received the order to retreat, and they only beat them briefly before retreating up and down.
However, they still suffered a lot during the retreat. The two sharpshooters arranged by Luo Yao shot and killed at least five Japanese during their retreat.
The Japanese knew that someone was plotting against them, but they didn't dare to stay. They knew that once they were detained, they would be surrounded and it would be difficult to leave.
The battle lasted less than twenty minutes. The people led by Luo Yao of Baolin Temple won the victory. The Japanese stole the chicken but lost the rice, leaving nearly twenty corpses behind and fled in panic again.
This battle was based on deliberate calculation and unintentional calculation, and the Japanese tactics were carefully planned in advance, and the Japanese were repelled in one fell swoop.
"How many casualties do we have?" Luo Yao asked in a deep voice after cleaning the battlefield.
Cheng Zian drooped his head and said in frustration: "Eight were killed, five were seriously injured, and eleven were slightly injured..."
"Where are the devils?"
"Nineteen people were killed or beaten to death."
This casualty ratio is still acceptable, but given the advantage, the enemy did not risk their lives to attack.
It was just one attack.
What would be the result if it happened a few more times, and most of the Japanese casualties were caused when the attack started and when they retreated.
The casualties in the fighting in the middle were not many.
The escort team of Luo Yao's 401 group did not suffer too many casualties, because Yagyu Yoshizawa saw the opportunity and retreated directly.
Yang Fan's pursuit was only superficial. Except for two injured by stray bullets, most of them were only minor injuries from collisions.
Victory, indeed, after all, they repelled the Japanese sneak attack and left nearly twenty corpses behind. This was also a rare small victory in the confrontation between the national army and the Japanese.
More importantly, saving the 401 group is more important than defeating this elite small force of the Japanese.
"Report, the commander of the first battalion of the special agent group personally led the first battalion and the first company to come to the rescue. He is now outside the mountain gate."
"Please."
Qin Hong, the commander of the first battalion, came up and was shocked to see almost twenty corpses on the ground, all wearing national army uniforms.
"Team Leader Fang!" Although Qin Hong has never met Luo Yao, Cheng Zian is his subordinate and has introduced him to him a long time ago.
"Hello, Battalion Commander Qin, you guys are not slow in coming." Luo Yao didn't mean to complain about the other party. He rushed over after receiving the order for rescue, and he probably didn't stop for a moment.
"After receiving the order, I gathered my team immediately, but we seem to be a little late?" Qin Hong asked uncertainly.
"The Japs failed to make a sneak attack and immediately retreated. We can only stick to Baolin Temple and dare not go down the mountain to pursue, lest we fall into the Japs' tricks." Luo Yao explained.
"Hey, hurry up and hurry up, it's still a step too late." Qin Hong regretted, and he rushed over without stopping. First, he was given a death order from above, and second, he also wanted to make meritorious deeds.
"Captain Qin, if you want to make meritorious deeds, you might as well stop chasing him in a hurry." Luo Yao saw that Qin Hong really wanted to compete with this group of devils.
After two failed sneak attacks, this group of Japanese soldiers have lost their fighting spirit and may have become real losers now.
More than half of the troops were lost, the ammunition was almost exhausted, and the identity was exposed. Even if the fifth theater was in difficulty, there would still be no problem in mobilizing troops to encircle and suppress these dozens of people.
"Leader Fang, what do you mean?"
"This group of Japs suffered a loss in Baolin Temple, and their deeds were completely exposed. What would you do if it were Battalion Commander Qin?" Luo Yao asked rhetorically.
"this……"
"There are troops from our national army around here. Now that his whereabouts have been exposed, it is no longer possible to disguise himself as a national army. They will definitely change their current attire. There are so many people, there are wounded, and they have to carry weapons. The best way is to find a coffin and disguise it as a funeral procession..." Luo Yao said.
"Will it definitely be a funeral procession?"
"Not necessarily, I'm just guessing. As for whether you believe it or not, it's up to you, Counselor Qin." Luo Yao said with a chuckle.
"Can I ask Team Leader Fang for advice, what should I do?" Qin Hong asked humbly.
"This group of Japanese soldiers is very capable of fighting alone, and they are very cunning. The leading commander is very clever. If there is any mistake, they will run away immediately. Therefore, if you want to keep them here, you must have enough strength. , Catch them all in one fell swoop, and there will never be any gap for them to take advantage of." Luo Yao said, "Once you discover their whereabouts, don't move yet, mobilize troops to surround them, at least five times more troops, and you must have heavy weapons. , I have sent people to follow and will send the information back at any time, Battalion Commander Qin, do you think so?"
"I'll mobilize the troops." Qin Hong did not hesitate. This was undoubtedly the safest way.
