As soon as the guns rang out, the Takeda Brigade immediately stopped marching and prepared to fight, until the two Japanese soldiers who ran back reported the news, and did not dare to go out to the area where they were attacked.
Takeda stood beside the pile of broken corpses, two search soldiers with him were reporting the situation, on both sides of the road, the infantry of the Takeda Brigade was searching everywhere, just in case, most of the corpses on the road died under the blasting canisters of the engineer platoon, and it took less than a minute for the veterans to throw out the blasting canisters.
Under the suppression of machine gun and rifle fire, the Japanese search soldiers could not raise their heads at all, prostrate on the ground, lowered their heads, and a round of blasting canisters was thrown over, so to speak, the death is not clear, and the death is also very miserable, after the explosion of the blasting canister, the section of the road where the search soldiers are located is completely covered, and the broken cylinder beats the corpses of the Japanese search soldiers into a sieve.
"The enemy suddenly opened fire from the field, we didn't have time to react, we were knocked down several people, and then they suppressed it with fire, rifles and light machine guns, and then there was a burst of heavy artillery fire, and the detachment leader was also killed, so we withdrew the two of us."
A wounded Japanese soldier said to Takeda.
"Let's go down and bandage it."
It was an attack, a small attack, and it killed most of his own forward search soldiers, and after understanding the whole battle, this is how Takeda knew about this battle.
This is a small battle that cannot be smaller, Takeda only regarded it as a straggler attack, and did not take it to heart, the Miki detachment in the rear was ambushed and harassed, and his troops were closer to the battle site of Kunlun Pass, and it was normal to be ambushed.
At the moment, reinforcement of Kunlun Pass is the first priority, this round of attack, but make Takeda Masayuki's desire to move forward more vigorous, the more there is an attack, Takeda feels that it is one step closer to Kunlun Pass, if there is really no movement, Takeda only feels that something is wrong, of course, the urging telegram of the wing captain does not allow him to rub.
The stragglers' attacks were in common sense, and Zhang Wei's movement made Takeda move forward more confidently, which was more in line with the current battlefield situation.
"Captain, there is an attack by the enemy, should we search first and then move forward?"
asked the adjutant of the brigade.
"No, a bunch of stragglers, let them sneak attack once, everyone assemble the team, resend the forward search team, and move on," Takeda said.
The infantry of the Takeda Brigade, who were scattered on the side of the road to search, quickly returned to the road to assemble, removed the corpses, and the whole brigade continued to advance in the direction of Kunlun Pass with high momentum "Finally, I have to fight hard with the enemy army near Kunlun Pass" Takeda said secretly in his heart, inexplicably, but he felt uncomfortable, but soon, he dispersed with the troops.
In the short time when the Takeda Brigade stopped to clean up the corpses and prepare for battle, the engineer platoon of the Teaching Brigade returned to the ambush position at the same speed as when they came, and ran wildly all the way, and He Jinhai looked for Zhang Wei to recover his life with a sweat.
At this time, the teaching brigade had all entered the ambush position, and the transformation of the position had been completed, not only the teaching brigade, but also the troops of the friendly 65th regiment were all in place, and the ambush position of the teaching brigade relied on vegetation as a cover, as long as it was not attached to the side, the Japanese army would definitely not be able to find out.
In the process of transformation, the irrationality of the friendly construction position, as well as the useless ring fortifications were reconstructed, the ring fortifications were transformed into firing positions by the 82nd mortar platoon of the heavy fire squadron of the teaching brigade, the infantry of each squadron, and the heavy machine guns of the heavy fire squadron, all entered the trenches, and the soldiers further strengthened and camouflaged the positions, and quietly lurked in the ambush positions to stand by.
Zhang Wei looked at He Jinhai in front of him, thinking that this kid is really neat, he comes and goes quickly.
"Captain, less than three kilometers from here, there is a large group of Japanese troops, we opened fire and killed more than a dozen, and then we retreated."
He Jinhai was holding a kettle, he didn't have time to drink, panting, and explained the situation to Zhang Wei.
"Cheng, take your people into the position, prepare for battle" Zhang Wei said with some excitement, and the Takeda Brigade has been around for so long, waiting for this time, Zhang Wei copied the telescope, from the herald to ask for a flower mechanism, looking like he was going to go into battle in person, and then, Zhang Wei and the returning engineer platoon officers and soldiers entered the ambush position to prepare for the battle, the main event is coming, in addition to the radio, Zhang Wei's command is also three heralds, for the convenience of command, Zhang Wei simply put the headquarters in the front line.
The fortifications after the transformation of the teaching brigade are very complete, the trenches are deep enough, and they are reinforced with sandbags and vegetation, and they are hidden, so they should not be able to get out of the situation of being bombed off the command post, the heavy firepower of the Japanese army is also the infantry artillery, and the big war is coming, and Zhang Wei's appropriate forward movement of the command post has also greatly improved the morale of the soldiers.
"Herald, go and inform Regiment Commander Deng that the Japanese army is less than three kilometers away from the ambush position" Before entering the position, Zhang Wei sent a herald to report to Deng Junlin about the situation brought back by the engineer platoon.
The ambush force was not only a teaching brigade, but also a large number of people, and the three infantry battalions of the 65th Regiment also relied on the geographical advantages to arrange their positions, of which the two battalions on the right side of the road occupied the hills and small slopes, and the brothers of the 65th Regiment were also ready for battle, just like the teaching brigade.
Except for Zhou Pu's first battalion and the Takeda brigade of the 65th Regiment, the rest of the troops had never fought with the Japanese army at all, and most of the soldiers belonged to the "white ding" who had never seen the devil, but the morale of the officers and men was very high, and most of them, especially the officers, had the mentality of giving the Japanese army a little color to taste, and they all wanted to have two tricks with the Japanese army.
Therefore, the desire of the friendly officers and men to fight is also very strong, and in terms of momentum, the ambush troops are not bad The battle situation brought back by the engineer platoon was quickly transmitted to the regimental headquarters of the 65th Regiment, and Deng Junlin immediately began to command after learning of the situation.
The ambush plan was proposed by Zhang Wei, and the teaching brigade was also the main force of the ambush force, but it was difficult to support it alone, and Deng Junlin's regiment had more numbers and firepower, as well as two baby pimple mountain cannons, so the first firing and command were in Deng Junlin's hands.
After getting along for so long, Zhang Wei also agrees with Deng Junlin's ability.
"Give orders to the troops, prepare for battle, and prepare the mountain artillery platoon to fire," Deng Junlin said viciously, and like Zhang Wei, he was also very excited.
Before the arrival of the Japanese troops, the 65th Regiment sent two heralds to inform the ambush troops on the right side of the road to prepare for battle.
Behind the regimental headquarters of the 65th Regiment, on the artillery position of the ambush unit, two 75-mm Bofors mountain guns were placed in the firing position, and a platoon of artillerymen, including officers, gunners, and soldiers of the ammunition team, guarded the artillery side.
Next to the two mountain guns, the artillery platoon commander wearing a regular uniform, a telescope on his chest, and a German-style 35 steel helmet on his head was using the artillery mirror to observe the situation on the road.
The soldiers in charge of observation and another officer in each artillery squad were also carefully observing with binoculars.
The leading firepower of the ambush force is these two 75 mountain guns, as powerful weapons, they naturally want to start the first cannon, Zhang Wei also agreed with Deng Junlin to let the mountain artillery platoon fire first, this thing is not the devil's 92 infantry cannon and the guy's 82 mortar, it is a serious mountain artillery.
They should have been bombarded before the infantry, and they should have blown him up on his back.
The commander of the artillery platoon in command did not leave the artillery mirror.
"Reload, prepare to shoot," shouted the platoon commander.
The platoon commander gave an order, and dozens of artillerymen quickly moved, and the gunners performed their duties and skillfully operated the guns according to one process after another.
With each step, the gunners had to shout out the name of the operation.
"Open the bolt" "Reloading" Before the battle, Deng Junlin asked the artillery platoon to divide the firing zone according to Zhang Wei's opinions and the information mentioned, and as soon as the vanguard of the Japanese army walked through the place, the artillery would immediately open fire.
Two shells were filled into the chamber, and the gunners were waiting for the gun, holding the gun ropes, ready to fire at any time.
The artillery platoon used Bofors 193075 mm mountain guns, which were manufactured and produced by the Bofors plant in Sweden.
The so-called Swedish Bofors factory is actually a subsidiary of the German Kluber Arms Industry, which is dressed in the skin of a Swedish company and acts as a German weapon.
This kind of artillery was introduced in large quantities by the national army before the war, and this type of mountain artillery assigned to the new 22nd Division had a total of four guns, and this gun was successfully developed in 1930 and was the latest mountain artillery at that time.
The barrel of the model purchased by the national army is 20 times the caliber, the total weight is 785 kilograms, there are 28 rifling wires in the breech, the winding degree is 7 degrees, 9 minutes and 45 seconds, and the maximum gas pressure of the combustion of the firing powder is 2600 atmospheres.

The weight of the shell is 65 kg, and the muzzle velocity is: charge 1 250 m s, charge 2 230 m s, charge 3 450 m s.
The maximum firing range is 9150 meters, the high and low firing range is 50 °, and the directional firing range is 3 °3 °.
It can be said that the performance of this cannon is quite good, and it is actually the fruit of the small amount of armament purchased by the national army before the war; except for the problems of gun mount and weight, it can be called a perfect artillery, and the large number of imported guns also provided considerable fire support for the Chinese army in the early stage, and survived the initial hand-to-hand combat.
"Report to the platoon commander, ready for launch" Two artillery squad leaders holding red flags ran to the artillery platoon commander and shouted loudly.
"Standby" "Yes" The commander of the vanguard of the ambush unit, the artillery platoon commander of the 75 Mountain Artillery, and the observers stared at the road.
The artillery platoon commander broke out in a cold sweat.
Time seemed surprisingly slow to the observing artillerymen, and it was unknown how long it took for a sharp-eyed artillery platoon sergeant to spot something unusual.
"Sir, there's someone on the road ahead" Hearing the warning, the rest of the observers and artillery platoon commanders quickly gathered their eyes to the front of the road, and several sneaky figures appeared in the telescope and the artillery team mirror.
As the distance closed, the condition and attire of the visitors were clearly seen by the artillerymen with binoculars and artillery mirrors.
Seven or eight Japanese soldiers, armed with guns, sometimes running in search form, sometimes looking left and right, sneakily advancing, were the search soldiers of the Takeda Brigade.
The artillery platoon commander was very experienced, and after determining that it was the Japanese army and the number of people coming, based on the common sense of the officer, he guessed that this must be the forward search unit.
Well, the main forces, not far from here.
"It's a devil, the whole platoon has it, aiming at the shelling zone, two rounds of seven or five grenades, ready to fire" Please remember that the first domain name of this book is:.
