Six Japanese Type 94 trucks, driving at full horsepower, carrying a squadron of Japanese troops, hurried down the Nanbin Highway.
The Japanese soldiers on the car kept a strict guard on both sides of the road, and the muzzles of their guns were all aimed outside the car, and the grenadiers were also set up on the carriages and aimed at both ends of the road.
The attack of the two field supplementary regiments of the Fifth Army forced them to guard against the attack.
While reinforcing the advancing Japanese troops, they used cars as vehicles and erected vertical sandbags on the edges of the rear compartments of the trucks as a defense.
Sure enough, less than ten miles after the trucks set off, they were attacked.
The six cars were moving at high speed on both sides of the usual field, when suddenly bullets flew and hit the compartment of the first car, and then hundreds of Chinese troops rushed out from both sides.
The Fifth Army, which was tasked with attacking and harassing the troops of the 1st Supplementary Regiment, was the main force of ambushing the Japanese army, and the ambush method was to use companies and battalions as units and distribute them on the Nanbin Highway to attack and harass the Japanese troops.
Now, it's the turn of this company to ambush.
A whole company of soldiers rushed out of the field shouting and began an attack on the Japanese convoy.
This battle was completely different from the attack on Miki's troops, which were mostly infantry, and now the officers and men of the supplementary regiment were facing six dynamic trucks.
The shooting skills of the soldiers of the supplementary regiment are not good, and in terms of the quality of the soldiers, many of the supplementary regiments have not been completed by the basic combat education instructors, and many people do not even know how to fight in advance, and when they encounter such high-speed moving targets, there is naturally no need to think much about the shooting effect.
For the soldiers who were ambushed by the supplementary regiment, they did not expect that the Japanese army would only have cars instead of the expected large groups of infantry.
A company of officers and men of the supplementary regiment besieging the Japanese convoy, more than 100 people, distributed on the left and right flanks of the road, after firing, got up from the field one after another and launched a charge on the road.
More than 100 soldiers of the Replenishment Regiment, covered in concealed vegetation, held a long Hanyang-made and charged and opened fire, and the few Czech light planes fired wildly at the road.
The soldiers of the Replenishment Regiment, who had launched the charge from the field, also tried to throw grenades to deter the six Japanese trucks with explosive fire.
A squadron of Japanese soldiers on the truck was indeed taken aback, and after the first shot of the ambush, all the Japanese soldiers in the car panicked.
These Japanese troops are all very elite infantry, but they have not used this tactic in ordinary trucks and assaulting deeply, so after being raided, they are still very panicked.
The ambush unit fired almost all of its empty guns in the first round of fire, and only a few bullets hit the first Japanese truck, and the bullets clanged into the compartment of the truck, injuring two Japanese infantrymen who were riding in the car.
"Fight back, fight back" The Japanese trucks in the middle were the first to hear the sound of gunfire and the unpleasant command voices of Japanese officers.
The Japanese soldiers in the car began to return fire, and the crooked handles and rifle machine guns on the trucks, and even the grenadier canisters all opened fire on the moving trucks.
Six trucks formed a network of firepower, and the soldiers of the 1st Supplementary Regiment of the Fifth Army, which rushed to the forefront, fell in a large platoon under the Japanese machine-gun fire, and the follow-up soldiers either continued to advance or fired on the spot, and the Japanese guns and grenades bombarded the combat organization of the ambush troops of the Supplementary Regiment.
However, the soldiers of the supplementary regiment also fired at the Japanese trucks as fiercely as possible, ambushing the mobile trucks, and ambushing the marching columns dominated by infantry, which were completely two ways of fighting, and the soldiers of the supplementary regiment exchanged their blood for a lesson.
The shrapnel produced by the grenade explosion was enough to cover half of the road, and the shrapnel of the grenade hit the truck, causing the Japanese army a lethal effect that the bullets could not hit, and once delayed the shooting rhythm of the Japanese soldiers on the truck.
More than a dozen soldiers of the Supplementary Regiment who were attacking rushed up from both sides of the road, grabbed their rifles, and shot at the Japanese trucks with Hanyang-made shots, and the sound of gunshots rubbing against steel and the screams of Japanese soldiers came from the Japanese trucks where the grenades exploded.
There were also several soldiers of the supplementary regiment who simply blocked in front of the Japanese car and fired desperately to drop bombs.
Japanese soldiers also began to throw grenades on trucks, and with grenadiers attacking the Chinese soldiers rushing up on both sides, the soldiers of the supplementary regiment who rushed to the road all fell in pools of blood.
Some of them were still changing the leaks of their rifles, and a single round of grenades was fired, and the sporadic few soldiers of the Supplementary Regiment who were firing in front of the convoy were also killed by the crooked light machine guns on the roof of the Japanese trucks.
On the left and right sides of the road, the battle situation is the same.
In the end, six wounded Japanese trucks ended the battle with a round of grenadier fire, and quickly left the battlefield under the fire of the soldiers of the replenishment regiment, leaving behind corpses in one place.
The battle of the infantry ambush truck was very short, the two sides only exchanged fire for two minutes, and the soldiers of a company of the supplementary regiment launched a surprise attack on the Japanese troops in a squadron, paying the price of more than 20 killed and more than 20 wounded, and failed to knock out a single Japanese truck.
And the Japanese troops were not unharmed, not wounded, more than a dozen people died in the ambush.
Two unlucky Japanese soldiers were hit by shrapnel from a long-handled grenade thrown by the soldiers of the Replenishment Regiment, fell from the truck, were shot again, broke the parts on their bodies, and rolled on the ground in pain.
The two were nailed to the road by the soldiers of the supplementary regiment with two bayonets made by Hanyang, and used as punching bags.
Six cars were ambushed and wounded all over their bodies.
For the officers and men of the ambushed supplementary regiment, the casualty ratio of the two sides was quite acceptable, after all, the Japanese army was only riding in a truck, and the 94-type truck did not have any bulletproof measures except for the sandbags put on by the Japanese army, and only threw off the Chinese army with its speed.
If today's Japanese vehicles were armored vehicles or armored vehicles modified from steel plates, I am afraid that the soldiers of the besieging Fifth Army Supplementary Regiment would have to pay more costs, and the casualties of the Japanese army would have been smaller.
The soldiers of the supplementary regiment are fighting the Japanese army with their flesh and blood.
The soldiers of the ambushed replenishment regiment looked regretfully at the Japanese trucks in the distance, and picked up the bodies and the mess.
A duel between infantry and automobiles ended hastily, and the Japanese with mechanized vehicles finally had the upper hand, and after only two minutes of contact, the six cars drove in the direction of the Takeda Brigade with tail smoke in their tails Read the URL:
