Chapter 132: Flanking from both sides
"Room!" The fellow villager ran over in a hurry. After lying down beside Zhang Chi, he asked the same question in his heart in anger: "When did the Japanese go around behind us? They also brought our ammunition depot!"
After thinking about it, Zhang Chi shook his head and replied: "They were not going around, they were tunnels!"
"Oh!" After hearing this, the fellow villagers couldn't help but realize it.
Zhang Chi was right. The Japanese went around from the tunnel god to the rear of the Zhongzhang team without knowing it. You should know that the Japanese army built more than 100 kilometers of underground fortifications in Rabaul... Of course, this more than 100 kilometers includes the construction of fortifications to the airport.
However, these fortifications were not used for defense, but the Japanese army was worried that one day Rabaul would go into underground operations, so they left a passage for airport personnel to respond to emergency situations, but they did not expect it to come in handy at this time.
"Tongzhang, then we now..." The fellow villagers looked at Zhang Chi with some anxiety.
Although the fellow villagers did not say the novel. "The novel" is over, Zhang Chi understood the meaning of the fellow villagers.
First of all, the ammunition depot was occupied by the Japanese army, and the number of Japanese troops was also a squadron... One squadron had nearly two hundred people. This was not something that could be wiped out and taken back the ammunition depot in a short time.
Therefore, the Expeditionary Force faced a very serious problem. The machine gun ammunition was consumed very much, and the ammunition in the hands of the soldiers was not enough to defeat the Japanese charges several times, let alone persisting for half an hour.
To take a step back, even if the first battalion could hold on for half an hour and wait until the main force arrived, the main force would not have time to rescue the first force.
Secondly, a squadron of Japanese devils may just be the first wave.
Since the Japanese have the first wave of going from the tunnel to the back, there is a very likely second wave of going from the back and will launch an attack on the Chinese Expeditionary Force, and this kind of attack is still attacking both sides... the front and the rear attack are at the same time, and the Chinese Expeditionary Force has no time to build an attack such as fortification defense.
In other words, the first battalion suddenly fell to death because it was surrounded by the Japanese army.
At this time, Nakasa Watanabe heard that the Third Squadron occupied the airport ammunition depot, a smug smile appeared on his face.
The Chinese were indeed deceived. His move was exactly what the Chinese often said about "building a plank road openly and crossing Chencang secretly." On the surface, Watanabe launched wave after wave of nearly suicide attacks on the front, which was actually just attracting the attention of the Chinese troops. In secret, he sent two squadrons from underground fortifications to the rear of the Chinese.
Among them, the first task of the third squadron is to occupy the ammunition depot, and then distribute troops to protect the fighter jets, oil depots and rescue pilots... Of course, Nakasa Watanabe did not know that the hundreds of pilots in the airport had been solved by Zhang Chi long ago. Zhang Chi was not that stupid and would let the pilots not kill them waiting for the Japanese to rescue them. You must know that pilots are an important strategic resource of the Japanese army. The ones on the ground are like insects. If they were in the sky, it would be completely different. Zhang Chi didn't want to give them a chance to fly into the sky.
The task of the Fourth Squadron is to cooperate with the main Japanese troops to launch an attack on the Chinese people. Nakasa Watanabe didn't believe it. All the Chinese were three heads and six arms, and they could not take them off with two attacks!
As the Fourth Squadron sent a signal to prepare on the walkie-talkie, Nakasa Watanabe felt that the time had come. Then he drew out his saber majestic, waved towards the airport, and shouted: "Attack!"
The Japanese army roared, rushed towards the airport with a bayonet.
Watanabe almost saw his subordinates rushing into the Chinese defense line in groups, and then tied the Chinese who did not know how to fight against the Imperial Army one by one on the bayonets...
As expected, things were as Watanabe imagined. After throwing a wave of grenades, the troops rushed into the enemy's defense line and then started a hand-to-hand combat.
Although Watanabe did not see the fierce fighting between the enemy and us because of the smoke at the airport, his heart was relieved at this time... He was very confident in his subordinates' skills to fight for stings, which was determined by the Japanese army's long-term hard practice of stings. On the other hand, it was also because the Japanese have long believed in the spirit of Bushido and will play swordsmanship from time to time. Therefore, Watanabe believes that no unit can compete with the Imperial Army in stings.
Then the enemy and us fought in the smoke, still fighting, still fighting...
"Well! It seems that the Chinese people's thorn fighting skills are also good!" Nakasa Watanabe was a little surprised: "They can actually hold on for so long in hand-to-hand combat!"
After a while, Watanabe realized something was wrong because he heard someone shouting in the smoke: "Bastard, it's his own person!"
"We are from the second team!"
"We are from the third team!"
"Where are Chinese people? Where have Chinese people gone?!"
...
The Chinese have quietly withdrawn from the battlefield.
It was originally difficult to do during the day, but who had asked the Japanese army to fire so many smoke bombs at the airport? These smoke bombs enveloped the airport like thick fog. In addition, there was a Rabaul volcano that kept smoking nearby, and the air was filled with smoke and volcanic ash. In particular, Zhang Chi ordered the soldiers to secretly add a few smoke bombs to boost the fire, so the visibility at the defense line was only a few meters.
In fact, what's even more powerful is... When the Japanese army rushed into the range of grenades, they always habitually dropped a wave of grenades, and then launched a charge.
This is of course correct, because the smoke from the grenades can provide cover for them and temporarily make the opponent lose defense. The Japanese army can rush forward to kill the enemy before it can react.
But this time, the smoke from the grenade exploded further reduced visibility.
What's worse is... The chargers all know that the Chinese are disguising themselves as Japanese, so even if they face each other's face to face with the Japanese army, who are also wearing Japanese military uniforms, they will treat each other as enemies. They will even curse in their hearts:
"Bastard, dare to pretend to be an imperial army!"
"It's quite similar. Look at me digging out your heart with a bayonet!"
"This one can speak Japanese and speak so authentically?"
...
It was not until a very accidental situation that the commanders of both sides unknowingly fought together, and the two commanders knew each other that they suddenly realized... It turned out that they were all their own people who beat their own people!
"Stop, stop!" the Japanese commander shouted.
But it was too late, because both sides didn't know how many people had fallen.
And at this moment, the "da da da da" machine gun sounded suddenly on both wings... (To be continued.)
