Traveling through 1937, starting from the Battle of Songhu

"Old Huang, you should change your habit of getting injured all the time." Lu Daya laughed.

Huang Zhengkui was already grimacing in pain, and upon hearing Lu Daya's ridicule, he said angrily:

"Lao Lu, you bastard, try it yourself under the bombing of the Japanese planes. I'm lucky to be able to come back alive this time."

"If you have the guts, wait until I recover and then we can fight one on one."

Lu Daya said disdainfully, "No! Now, I'll give you one hand and one foot."

Everyone present was so amused by the two bickering that the sad atmosphere was somewhat diluted.

Many soldiers were killed or wounded today. After counting the number, everyone felt a little uncomfortable.

"Okay, let's get down to business."

Gu Changfeng interrupted their jokes and started making arrangements.

"Lao Zhou will take his men away later. Leave the ambush of the Japanese to the special forces."

Zhou Qianli asked: "Why not bring the whole team over?"

"Yes, Changfeng, let's deal with the Japanese together again." Lu Daya became serious.

He had a great time today. Several Japanese mountain artillery pieces were destroyed under his leadership. He wanted to launch another attack.

Gu Changfeng replied: "I guess the Japanese will support at least one regiment this time. It will be difficult to escape with so many people. It will be troublesome if we get caught."

"Also, we've consumed a lot of ammunition this time, so let's conserve some strength."

This time, the 23st Battalion of the 47rd Regiment was severely damaged, the rd Battalion of the th Regiment was almost destroyed, and the st Battalion also suffered heavy losses.

So he estimated that if the Japanese sent support this time, it would be at least a regiment. If the entire team was sent, it would be easy for something to go wrong.

In fact, if the Japanese had not insisted on attacking the city at the beginning and sent their heads down one after another, Gu Changfeng would never have been able to achieve such a great victory.

We can't blame the Japanese for being careless. The main reason is that they were too successful on the Chinese battlefield, especially at a time when a single Japanese squadron could chase down an entire division of the Nationalist Army.

"Then I will lead the artillery company and go with you." Lu Daya said.

Gu Changfeng thought for a moment and said, "That's fine, but just bring mortars and rocket launchers. Our main goal is to ambush the devils, so we need a quick victory."

Zhou Qianli thought for a moment and nodded, "Let's arrange it this way. After the soldiers have something to eat, we will evacuate first."

.........

An hour later, it was ten o'clock in the evening.

Gu Changfeng and his group were already waiting on the road. They received news that a large Japanese army would pass by in twenty minutes.

This time he used the time bomb, TNT, and the minefield laid by Xiaowu. The power was likely to cause the Japanese to suffer a heavy loss again.

Zhao Ziqing said with some gloating, "The Japs will probably be mad again this time, haha."

"Be careful later, the Japanese react very quickly, don't get hurt."

Gu Changfeng acted calm and composed, he was not excited about the outcome of the battle.

Zhao Ziqing paused, nodded, and led people to find a seat.

The several people cooperated very well and there was no need to say much.

Everything is going on in an orderly manner, just waiting for the Japanese to enter the ambush circle.

A few miles away, on a not very wide road, a reorganized Japanese regiment was rushing towards Qingpu City.

The Japanese team was led by Major General Ichiro Sakai this time. He sat in the driver's cab of the middle vehicle, and next to him was the logistics staff officer Colonel Yoshio Kudo.

The two of them had been together for a short time. As they were both fanatical militarists, they felt like they had found a confidant and cooperated very well.

The defeat in the Qingpu City battle made those who belonged to the same brigade very angry. They believed that the regiment commander Masanori Hasegawa was a disgrace to the empire.

"Kudo-kun, I'd like to see what this guy Hase has to say after we take over Qingpu City."

There was a hint of disdain in Ichiro Sakai's words.

The empire won numerous victories on the Chinese battlefield, and there was never a single instance where a large group of troops were crippled.

If anyone said this, the navy would burst out laughing.

Kudo Yoshio laughed and said, "Colonel Hase does have some ability. Perhaps after coming to China and winning a few battles, he's become overconfident!"

His words seemed to be an explanation, but there was also a lot of mockery in them.

You must know that since the outbreak of the full-scale war, it has been rare for the Japanese to lose more than a battalion, let alone the 47th and 23rd Regiments being crippled.

Yoshio Kudo really couldn't understand it. Even if he was giving orders with his butt, the fight wouldn't turn out like this.

Of course, he couldn't say it openly, after all, the other person's military rank was higher than his.

The Japs' hierarchy left him cursing in his mind.

Ichiro Sakai is different. He has a higher rank than Hasegawa and is also the commander of a regiment. His regiment is fully staffed and he is not afraid of Hasegawa Masanori at all.

After listening to Kudo Yoshio's explanation, he said mockingly: "The ability to lose a battle?"

"Put the Imperial warriors in his hands, and this is how he fights?"

"He should have performed a disembowelment to thank His Majesty the Emperor, instead of sitting in the headquarters begging for help."

Yoshio Kudo smiled but didn't say anything.

Hasegawa Masanori's fate was already determined. There was no need for him to say anything at this time. The most important thing he should do was to focus on defeating the Chinese in Qingpu City.

The blood of the imperial warriors must be paid with the lives of the Chinese. This was what Yoshio Kudo was thinking at this time.

In the team, ten three-wheeled motorcycles led the way, followed by the Japanese's six "crispy" tanks, and behind the tanks were sixteen transport vehicles.

Behind them were the infantry of the Japanese Third Infantry Battalion and the Supply Company.

The artillery squadron was sitting in the carriage. Due to the failure of the attack on Qingpu City, the brigade reinforced them with six infantry guns. This time they vowed to capture Qingpu City and the Chinese inside.

On the other hand, Gu Changfeng looked at the convoy approaching from afar through the eight-fold scope, and couldn't help but feel a little frightened. He began to worry about Wang Yaowu in Qingpu City.

The Japanese invested so much money that Qingpu City could not be defended at all, and his mission this time was just an ambush.

He had no idea how many Japanese soldiers he could kill.

"We can only see how effective the minefield can be." Gu Changfeng muttered to himself.

Although I guessed that the Japanese would send a regiment, the feeling was different when I actually saw it.

"Send a message to Li Jie, and attack the Japanese's fragile tanks directly."

"Send a message to Captain Lu: two mortars will attack the enemy's baggage train, and the remaining two will attack the minefield."

"Give them only three minutes. Evacuate after the fight is over. Have them go directly to meet up with Battalion Commander Zhou."

Gu Changfeng whispered instructions to the soldier next to him. After receiving the order, the two soldiers quickly ran to notify him.

This time the Japanese came with great force, and he was still worried that Wang Yaowu could not hold on. Attacking the Japanese supplies could also buy Wang Yaowu more time.

"Boom!"

Several booby traps were triggered, instantly overturning several tricycles leading the charge.

This time Xiao Wu's deployment was more dense, and it was dark, so the Japanese had no time to react, and four or five of them died directly!

"Baga, there's an ambush." ​​The Japanese squad leader sitting on the motorcycle behind shouted.

"Da da da."

The machine gun on the motorcycle began to fire at the surrounding area.

The special forces team had already been arranged in the next ambush circle, and Gu Changfeng and his companions were quite far away, so the Japanese's shooting was completely useless.

"Reporting to the commander, there is a minefield laid by the Chinese ahead. Please give us your instructions."

A Japanese squadron leader ran to Ichiro Sakai's car to report.

"Let the engineers go. I thought the Chinese in Qingpu City were capable of some tricks, but it turns out they only have these little tricks."

Ichiro Sakai did not take it seriously and even showed disdain for the enemy he was about to face.

But he didn't know that Gu Changfeng's purpose was just to wait for TNT's time. If a chain reaction happened, the situation would be interesting.

Even if it doesn't work, once Lu Daya fires, those grenades buried shallowly underground will cause the Japanese to suffer heavy losses.

Within five miles below the Japanese convoy, Xiaowu led the special forces team to place hundreds of grenades.

The booby traps on the road are just a barrier...
