Chapter 265: Night Exploration of the Enemy Camp
With the help of thermal sensing radar, Lu Cheng can completely command his soldiers to throw grenades towards the areas where the Japanese are most concentrated, causing the greatest casualties.
As a burst of intensive explosions sounded, the Japanese military camp was suddenly in chaos. As luck would have it, two or three of the grenades thrown by Lu Cheng happened to fall into the pile of Japanese mortar shells and grenades, immediately causing a series of explosions and causing greater casualties.
As soon as the explosion stopped, hundreds of commandos rushed out with submachine guns in their arms. The dense stream of bullets instantly put the confused Japanese soldiers into a miserable state.
Soon after, Long Wenjian led hundreds of soldiers, armed with Bren light machine guns and Type 99 light machine guns, and swooped down from above, attacking the Japs from both sides, causing even more complete confusion. Some of the Japs even began to flee.
After Lu Cheng used up all the bullets in a Thompson, he immediately switched to another Thompson, and then to the Sten submachine gun.
There are five or six submachine guns in the storage space, all loaded with bullets, for convenient use during a charge.
With Lu Cheng around, the Japanese heavy machine guns had basically no chance to fire, and our side's casualties were minimized.
At the same time, Lu Cheng also personally experienced the power of gun and artillery warning.
Whenever a Japanese soldier aimed at him or a soldier within a hundred meters of him, a red line would appear in Lu Cheng's field of vision, reminding Lu Cheng to react quickly, either to kill the enemy, to dodge, or to push away directly.
With this skill, Lu Cheng avoided at least a dozen casualties.
The sneak attack, coupled with fierce firepower, made this night attack extremely effective. More than half of the four to five hundred Japanese soldiers were killed or wounded, and the rest retreated in a hurry.
Lu Cheng did not order his men to pursue, as the Japanese's follow-up troops were about to arrive. Pursuing them further would not yield much results and might even result in considerable casualties on their side.
Afterwards, Lu Cheng immediately asked the soldiers to clean up the battlefield in a hurry and quickly returned to Nantianmen.
As soon as the troops here retreated, the Japanese who had just escaped joined the follow-up troops and immediately fought back. However, all that was left for the Japanese was a messy battlefield.
The Japanese commander was furious. He had just ordered the battlefield to be cleared when he heard explosions around him. There was no doubt that booby traps were placed under some of the Japanese corpses.
Due to the limited time, the number of booby traps deployed was limited, and did not cause too many casualties to the Japanese. However, this made the Japanese very sick, and the Japanese lieutenant colonel who came later almost lost his mind and ordered an attack overnight.
Fortunately, several Japanese officers nearby dissuaded and stopped the impulsive Japanese officer in time.
Another victory was won, and the soldiers on the battlefield were of course very excited, especially those commandos who joined later. They all gathered around Lu Cheng and said, "Battalion Commander, it's so fun to fight the Japanese with you. We won two battles today, and killed at least four or five hundred Japanese. In the past, our division fought for two years, but the soldiers were all scattered, and we didn't kill many Japanese in total."
"It's the same for us. We always felt that the Japanese were too difficult to kill before. We couldn't defeat them even with several times the number of troops. Now, we have only a hundred or so people and we dare to fight four or five hundred Japanese. If this gets out, people will definitely think we are bragging!"
Lu Cheng took this opportunity to divide the 1,500 soldiers on the position into three parts and let them take turns to rest.
The Japanese have lost so many troops in succession that they will definitely not launch a rash attack next time. In all likelihood, they will wait until heavy firepower arrives and then carry out a blanket bombing on Nantianmen.
Therefore, Lu Cheng directly moved most of the troops to the hillside behind Nantianmen, using the reverse slope to avoid enemy artillery fire.
Anyway, Lu Cheng has a thermal sensing radar, so he is not afraid of the enemy sneaking up on him. He can wait until the devils start charging before letting the soldiers enter the trenches. In this way, the casualties caused by artillery fire can be greatly reduced.
Soon, more and more Japanese gathered at the foot of the mountain, and some trucks carrying heavy firepower arrived.
Afterwards, after the Japanese commander understood the general situation, he immediately ordered the artillery to deploy and prepare to launch a covering artillery attack on Nantianmen.
There are all kinds of artillery, including light and heavy mortars, 75 mountain guns, 105mm howitzers, and so on.
On a small earthen slope to the north of the Japanese position, Lu Cheng put down the telescope in his hand, turned around and instructed the fifty commandos behind him: "Later, I will disrupt the Japanese artillery position. At that time, a large group of Japanese will definitely come to chase me. You hide here, and each of you will retreat a distance after emptying a magazine. Don't fight.
The Japanese grenade launchers and mortars are very dangerous. If you stop for a moment, you may be killed. You must not be greedy for credit. It is better to kill fewer Japanese soldiers to save your life. "
"Yes, battalion commander!"
After giving the order, Lu Cheng went alone to a deserted place, quietly changed into the Japanese military uniform, and approached the edge of the Japanese military camp.
Because the Japanese had been ambushed by Lu Cheng and his men before, the Japanese were on high alert this time. There was a guard post every ten steps and a sentry every five steps around the military camp, and there were also small teams of Japanese patrolling around at all times.
After Lu Cheng got nearby, he first found a sentry post and lay in ambush. Soon, with his superb hearing, he heard the voices of the patrolling Japanese and the sentry exchanging commands.
Afterwards, Lu Cheng found a relatively secluded position and quietly followed a small group of patrolling Japanese soldiers. When they followed for fifty or sixty meters and were about to reach the next checkpoint, the Japanese soldiers discovered that there was someone following them.
The leading Japanese sergeant saw Lu Cheng's major uniform and immediately saluted respectfully: "Sir, Private First Class Kameda Kojiro salutes you. May I ask..."
Before the little devil could finish his words, Lu Cheng threw a big punch: "Baga, I've been following you for half a minute, and you didn't notice me, are you idiots?"
"Hi!"
The Japanese soldiers who had been taught a lesson did not dare to raise their heads, but just bent their bodies even lower.
After hitting him once, Lu Cheng still felt unsatisfied, so he slapped the Japanese sergeant left and right: "Be alert!"
"Hey! We must be vigilant..."
Lu Cheng controlled the strength of these two slaps just right, making the enemy stunned without causing any damage to their brains, and not arousing any suspicion from the Japanese.
Then, Lu Cheng raised his samurai sword and tapped each of the patrolmen on their helmets. "The enemy on the mountain is very cunning and may attack us at any time. You must be alert and listen carefully."
After the fight, Lu Cheng took out a large pack of the Japanese's cigarettes with added ingredients and threw them into the Japanese sergeant's arms: "You have worked hard on patrol, and this is a reward for you."
The Japanese sergeant took the cigarette from his arms and was actually a little moved: "Thank you, sir!"
"Okay, no smoking during patrol!"
"Hi!"
Afterwards, Lu Cheng swaggered past the sentry post and walked towards the Japanese army camp. The Japanese soldiers on guard did not dare to stop him and quickly lowered their heads to avoid being beaten.
After entering the military camp, Lu Cheng first looked around to confirm the distribution of the Japanese artillery and the location of the ammunition storage, and then found the location of the Japanese command headquarters.
However, the Japanese command post was more heavily guarded, and Lu Cheng, the fake major, would be more easily exposed, so he did not get close to observe.
Now inside the Japanese army camp, if the target is exposed, facing the close siege of hundreds or thousands of Japanese soldiers, even Lu Cheng would find it difficult to escape.
However, as long as you have a rough idea of the location, it is enough.
Seeing that the Japanese artillery had already deployed and was preparing to bombard Nantianmen, Lu Cheng did not stop and came to the vicinity of the artillery position...
