Chapter 974: Ambush at the mouth of Shinto

The Japanese search team quickly walked towards the highway where the machine gun company was ambushed. When the Japanese search team came to the highway in this dense forest and weedy area, the Japanese vanguards of the Japanese army stopped with their guns in fear.

The Japanese squad leader waved his command knife and pointed to the forest on the left and right sides of the highway, saying, "Increase firepower reconnaissance, and be sure to pay close attention to all movements."

The two machine gunners walking in front of the Japanese search team held the machine gun and fired a shuttle of bullets into the hilly woods on both sides of the road.

The bullet flew over the heads and sides of the soldiers lurking in the woods. Some soldiers were still alive when they were hit by bullets. The soldiers tortured by severe pain and sweat beads as big as beans, but in order not to expose the target, they gritted their teeth and didn't dare to say anything.

Some soldiers lost their lives in an instant when they were hit by bullets. When the soldiers around them saw this scene, they were so angry that they wanted to suddenly rush down the mountain with machine guns in their arms and kill these cruel Japanese devils.

The Japanese search team of soldiers fired randomly into the woods on both sides of the highway, disturbing the birds and beasts in the woods. They were frightened by the gunshots, and the birds hid and the beasts rushed into the woods behind to run around.

Birds and beasts made noises in the woods, scaring the Japanese so much that they swayed at the branches with guns and whistled at the grass. They concentrated their firepower and opened fire violently, causing casualties to the machine gun company soldiers lurking in the weeds in the woods.

Some soldiers roared in a low voice: "Will this bastard Hou Sheng lead troops to fight? If he takes the initiative to take the initiative and suddenly fires violent machine guns at the enemy with dozens of machine guns from the machine gun company, just a small team of Japanese soldiers will soon become ghosts under the gun, but this bastard was so scared that he was lying in the grass and did not dare to move.

The commander of the machine gun company Luo Jin was irritated by the angry insults of several soldiers around him. In fact, he didn't understand why Hou Sheng didn't take this opportunity to launch an attack suddenly and destroy the Japanese search team that was fighting in front of him.

The Japanese search team stood on the road and vented bullets into the weeds on both sides of the road. The birds and beasts that were disturbed at the beginning suddenly flew away from the woods, scaring the Japanese to lie on the ground to carry out fire attacks. When they found that it was the birds and beasts in the woods that were causing trouble, they stopped fire reconnaissance.

After a short period of fire reconnaissance, the Japanese army's search team leader returned to report.

Chief of Staff Kameda nodded and said with satisfaction: "Yao, after the fire reconnaissance of the search team, in the hilly area of ​​dense woods in the front of Shindokou, it seems that no Chinese troops set up an ambush here and ordered the troops to pass through Shindokou quickly."

Although Captain Guanshan Feizhong Regiment was still a little worried about the hilly area of ​​dense forests that stretched five or six kilometers in front of Shindokou, after the search team's firepower reconnaissance, he did not find ambushing the woods on both sides of the highway, so he ignored the order of Chief Kameda's "Quickly Passing Shindokou".

Seven tanks and artillery squadrons of the Japanese 77th Regiment passed through the Shindo intersection one after another. A tank that was marching at the end of the tank troops suddenly fired a shot into the woods on the right side of the highway, and the shells fell in the center of the machine gun ambush.

The sudden explosion brought out more than ten feet high dust fog. The dust fog was mixed with broken branches and leaves, stone shrapnel, the soldiers of the soldiers' limbs and flesh. The machine gun company hidden in the woods were cowardly attacked by two Japanese firepower.

But their commander Housheng was like a dead man. Not only did he not issue orders to fight back, he whispered: "Be careful not to be exposed, those who act without permission will be killed without mercy, and wait for the order to launch an attack on the enemy."

"Bastard, you are not killed by shells. Why are you still alive? If you die, we living soldiers can kill a few more Japanese soldiers."

Company Commander Luo Jin of the Machine Gun Company heard the soldiers whispering to curse Hou Sheng, and could not stand this cowardly fighting style. He crawled to Hou Sheng in a very hidden way and asked in a low voice: "Captain Hou, why don't you give orders to ambush the Japanese troops passing through the highway at the foot of Shindokou Mountain with the maximum firepower? Have you never commanded the battle?"

"Company Commander Luo, I don't want to explain too much to you now. I order you to return to your position immediately, take the soldiers around you, and execute the orders resolutely. If anyone dares to act without permission, I will still be the same as the saying goes."

"Hou Sheng, I am the commander of the machine gun company. You don't know how to command blindly and have the right to seize your command. This is also the need to kill more Japanese soldiers to protect the lives and safety of the soldiers around you. Please hand over the command of the machine gun company and stay aside."

"Luo Jin, do you want to rebel? I will tell you clearly that what I am now executing is entirely the order issued by Chief Lei Yunfeng before the machine gun company left. You can distrust my command ability. Do you also doubt Chief Lei's command ability?"

"Ah? You, you said that you did this to obey Chief Lei's command? Why didn't I believe it? Chief Lei was not in front of you and didn't understand the current enemy situation. How could he plan in advance when to shoot and when to ambush?"

"You Luo Jin, you usually worship Lei Yun Peak and want to be provoked. Why do you doubt him now? I warn you, you can doubt my command ability, but you must not doubt Lei Yun Peak's correct command."

"Hey, since you said it was Chief Lei's advance deployment, I have nothing to say, but I just don't understand why I gave up such an opportunity to fight assault and eliminate the enemy, and eventually caused us to passive casualties. I really avenge those soldiers who died inexplicably, and why did I make this ambush like this coward."

Luo Jin returned to his position, and the soldiers around him were dissatisfied with Yinshen Hou Sheng, who could not command. Luo Jin said angrily: "Shut up, these are all tactics that Chief Lei has deployed in advance, and Chief Hou is also ordered to act."

The soldiers heard that this was all the deployment of Leiyun Peak. These brothers who regarded Leiyun Peak as the god of war in the Anti-Japanese War immediately shut up and stopped talking or swearing privately, because in their eyes, Leiyun Peak was an amazing person, and he said that he would definitely not be wrong if he did it.

The heavy firepower troops of the Japanese 77th Regiment quickly passed through the road at the foot of Shindokou Mountain, followed by the Japanese infantry troops.

When the Japanese infantry troops were left with less than one squadron left behind and the hosting troops walked to the highway below the ambush position, Hou Sheng suddenly stood up and held a machine gun while pulling the trigger to shoot the Japanese on the road, shouting loudly.

"Brothers of the Machine Gun Company, have you been itchy and want to hit the enemy hard? Then show your real skills and destroy the enemy's squadron and avenge the sacrificed soldiers."

The soldiers finally waited until Hou Sheng was like a man, dared to boldly issue orders to attack the enemy, stood up from the dense woods and weeds, held machine guns to the Japanese marching on the road, and fired the broken rear troops of the 77th Regiment that were approaching Hanyang Town with the most fierce firepower.

The captain of the Iikawa Squadron, who was in charge of the rear, would never have thought that if he passed the Shintokou of the large army safely and successfully, a single elite unit with weapons and equipment was suddenly revealed in front of him.

This Ikawa Squadron, who withdrew from the Xianguding battlefield without authorization and left a squad behind, was actually attacked by powerful firepower at the Shindokou.

The captain of Iikawa was not so shocked that he lost his normal command ability in the face of the sudden heavy fire strike. Instead, he ordered the troops to use terrain cover to launch a fire counterattack against the China machine gunners who were frantically carrying out firepower shooting.
