I want to ruin the country

Chapter 551: Laying an Ambush

Cai Hemin said,

"Yes, compared to the lives of the soldiers, nothing else is so important!"

Laichuan and his men came to work on the Royal Navy's warships. This fleet has more than 30 warships and more than 50 transport ships.

The commander of the Royal Navy was Takahashi. He had already been on high alert and had arranged his warships into battle formation, ready to open fire as soon as the Chinese warships came within range.

However, he saw that the enemy fleet had stopped and thought, "If you don't move forward, my cannons can't reach you!"

Just when he was hesitant, Deng Yongchang gave the order to fire.

Following a cannon shot and a puff of smoke in the distance, the sharp and piercing whistling sound of shells tearing through the air was heard in the sky, and then a string of shells exploded in his fleet!

"Boom boom boom!"

Takahashi was stunned. Could the enemy's artillery fire so far?

Boom boom boom boom!

With the sharp whistling sound of artillery shells, more and more ships were hit, and suddenly the entire dock was filled with smoke and flames.

The squash on the boat was blown into the sea, with ghosts howling and blood flying everywhere.

When Takahashi saw this, he was terrified. If this continued, all his men would be killed.

He immediately ordered,

"Abandon ship and go ashore, abandon ship and go ashore!"

After receiving the order, the Japanese soldiers rushed to the dock to load the guns, but the ship's side was narrow and the Japanese soldiers were eager to escape, so they pushed each other and many of them fell into the water.

Now is the time to escape, who cares about who else? If you fall, you'll be on your own.

After landing, Takahashi ordered,

"Hurry and chase General Laichuan and tell him that the enemy has landed!"

Takahashi knew that his two thousand plus men were definitely no match for the Chinese army.

Since we can't defeat you at sea, we will join forces with General Laichuan to destroy you on land. There's no way you can move your cannons to land!

After a burst of artillery fire, Deng Yongchang looked through the telescope at the dock, where thick smoke blocked out the sky and he could not see anything clearly.

But it felt like there was no resistance at all, and I gave the order.

"Attack forward."

Deng Yongchang's fleet advanced while firing cannons, and only when they reached the shore did they see clearly that there was not a single soldier on any of the ships.

Looking at the less than half of the ships left, Deng Yongchang regretted it deeply. Damn it, it was a sin to waste both ammunition and money.

Once the enemy landed, it was Cai Hemin's job. He gave the order:

"Attack forward as a battalion unit! Everyone else, unload supplies quickly!"

The battalion commander of the first battalion of the first regiment of the first combined brigade is Qin Zizhong.

His injury had healed long ago, and he was promoted to the commander of the first battalion of the first regiment of the first brigade of the army group.

Moreover, his original company was named Steel Company 1.

Being named the battalion commander of this battalion itself means that you are the most capable battalion in the entire army.

When you have a task to tackle, you must take it on and it is your job. Others will generally not be able to compete for it.

The last time they attacked Tsushima Island, Qin Ziqiang felt that he didn't have to do anything at all and the pirates were wiped out, which made him feel very unsatisfied.

Let’s see how grandpa will deal with you this time.

"First, second, and third companies will follow me in the attack. Fourth company will serve as the reserve and provide logistical support!"

After saying that, he led more than 400 people from the 1st, 2nd and 3rd companies and rushed north.

The company commander of the fourth company quickly ordered the soldiers to unload the supplies and tricycles from the transport ship, and followed closely behind with the supplies and ammunition.

Now with tricycles, soldiers no longer have to carry ammunition on their backs while marching.

A tricycle can pull 2,000 kilograms, which is equivalent to the transportation capacity of 20 to 30 soldiers.

A battalion has more than 20 tricycles, which greatly improve the mechanization level of the troops whether they are used to transport ammunition or wounded soldiers.

Qin Zizhong heard that his comrades in the Eastern Theater Command were having a great time fighting in Sulu and Luzon, and their heavy machine guns and 128 mortars were simply invincible.

This time, I can show my skills.

Each squad has a machine gun, a rocket launcher, and a flamethrower.

一个连有三门60轻型迫击炮、一门PBP172型120毫米迫击炮和两挺89式12.7毫米重机枪。

He was like a child who got a new and interesting toy. He always wanted to find an opportunity to play with it, show off his skills and have fun. Now the opportunity finally came.

Qin Zizhong's battalion chased for more than twenty miles, but was blocked by a mountain in front.

Qin Zizhong looked at the map and saw that the mountain was called Matou Mountain, with an altitude of more than 2,000 meters and towering majestically.

If the enemy ambushes here, it will be a natural and perfect blocking position.

Qin Zizhong called the four company commanders over and held a brief combat meeting.

Next, the Gang Company deployed a dispersed formation and attacked up the mountain to find out the situation first.

Led by the company commander Yue Longgang, the soldiers groped their way forward.

Some soldiers underestimated the enemy and were stopped by Yue Longgang.

Fighting a war is not just about not being afraid and being brave, it also requires your brain.

Lai Chuan really set up a huge pocket formation on the horse's head.

Takahashi left the dock and hurriedly chased after Laichuan's troops.

When they arrived at Matou Mountain, Lai Chuan had already stopped his troops and was waiting for him.

Takahashi explained the situation, but Laichuan didn't believe it. He said that the terrain of Matou Mountain was dangerous, and setting up an ambush here would cause the Chinese army to suffer a great loss.

Fortunately, setting up an ambush on the top of the mountain does not require digging too large fortifications, nor does it take time, so the soldiers just need to find their own cover.

Lai Chuan arranged five battalions, totaling 2,400 people, on the top of the mountain.

He thought that the enemy was making a feint attack and that there was no way to capture the hill without a five-to-one force ratio.

If the enemy sends out more than 10,000 people to attack, it is not clear whether there are that many people. If that is the case, people will be crowded and close to each other.

The soldiers on the mountain don't even need to aim. Even a blind man who can shoot can shoot the bullet into the enemy.

It’s coming, it’s coming!

Lai Chuan saw through the telescope that the Chinese army was chasing them.

However, when they reached the foot of the mountain, they did not attack the mountain immediately, but dawdled for a long time.

This made Lai Chuan very uncomfortable. Damn it, what are you dawdling for?

It wasn't long before the Chinese began to attack the mountain, but they were spread out and very cautious.

It seems that the enemy is very experienced!

Lai Chuan asked the soldiers to prepare for shooting.

However, when they were still more than 300 meters away from the top of the mountain, the Chinese stopped, took down some things from their backs and started fiddling with them.

After a while, a man waved his hand, as if giving an order, and then several soldiers put something into the iron pipe.

"Boom, boom, boom"

I saw some smoke coming out of the iron pipe, and three black iron lumps flew over from the top of the mountain.

Ah, what is this?

Just when the squashes were stunned, three iron lumps fell to the ground.

"Boom boom boom!"

exploded.

"Cannonball!"

Laichuan and Takahashi were so scared that they fell to the ground.
