Under the surveillance of the Japanese soldiers, the soldiers of the 337th Regiment were all calm and did not reveal any flaws.
This made Xu Jinxi feel a lot more relieved. The soldiers under his command were really different.
If it was before, under such firepower, some soldiers would have already fired back, and then they would have been surrounded by the enemy's main force.
The 337th Regiment had encountered such a situation before, and it was a failed ambush.
History did not repeat itself. After the Japanese scouting team finished firing two magazines of bullets, they sent more than a dozen Japanese to pretend to rush into the wheat field. When they saw that there was no movement in the depths of the wheat field, they immediately retreated.
The scouting team continued to open up a path. About two minutes later, the 3,000 Japanese and puppet troops entered the camp.
After Xu Jinxi saw that the Japanese had all entered the ambush circle, he decisively fired a shot into the sky. With a bang, he blew the horn of the attack.
The squad leader of the demolition platoon, who was hiding beside Xu Jinxi, quickly detonated the minefield that had been set up on the road.
Although Li Yunfei said that he was very confident in his soldiers, he did not want his soldiers to fight to the death with the enemy.
While training the troops, Li Yunfei had formed a demolition platoon. The soldiers of this platoon mainly learned how to place mines.
As a former modern soldier king, he was a master of all kinds of mine ambushes and traps.
Moreover, not all modern weapons were locked in the system store. Advanced mines like anti-personnel mines could be purchased directly.
Although the price was not cheap, in order to make it easier to wipe out the Long Valley Brigade and more than 2,000 puppet troops, Li Yunfei also spent a lot of money.
At the moment the minefield was detonated, a large amount of dust could be seen rising from the road among the Japanese troops. Mines jumped up from the ground and exploded in the Japanese army.
The power of the explosion was not very strong, even worse than the earth mines of this era. However, the anti-infantry radar was a weapon that could inflict as much damage as possible on infantry, not the amount of explosives.
Each anti-infantry mine was filled with dense steel balls. At the moment of explosion, these steel balls shot in all directions, easily penetrating steel helmets, let alone human bodies.
For a moment, the entire Japanese army was in chaos.
When the soldiers of the demolition platoon saw the scene on the road in the distance, their eyes widened in shock.
Before they left, Li Yunfei had instructed them on how to install the mines, how many of them were placed, and how many were to be placed.
Since the target of the ambush was a fixed infantry brigade, the length of the standard marching formation could be calculated.
Then, they would plant mines in this length and mark a coordinate item that they could understand on the road. When the soldiers in front of the Japanese army walked to the coordinate mark, they would detonate the mines, causing the most effective damage.
In just an instant, the entire Japanese army was thrown into chaos.
The moving Japanese soldiers did not expect to be attacked by such advanced weapons. At the center of each explosion, the corpses of the Japanese soldiers were in a circle and fell to the ground in large numbers. Moreover, each corpse was almost penetrated by steel balls.
Even Xu Jinxi was shocked by the effect of the anti-infantry mine array. This was also the first time he had seen the terrifying lethality of a professional demolition team.
In just an instant, less than half of the thousands of Japanese soldiers could continue fighting. The road was filled with injured people.
At this time, the soldiers of the 1st Battalion in the wheat field started to fire at the Japanese in the ambush circle. The heavy machine guns opened fire, and the wheat straws in front of the muzzles were torn apart by the bullets.
The moment the gun was fired, the Japanese in the ambush circle were once again frightened. Gunshots rang out from both sides, and they saw their comrades beside them being hit by bullets one by one.
Although the 10 days of training did not make every soldier in the 1st Battalion a sharpshooter, it was not a problem for them to accurately hit the Japanese's chest from a distance of 100 to 200 meters.
Although the Japanese soldiers on the road reacted very quickly and crawled to both sides of the road, looking for cover to counterattack, the short confrontation and the attack still caused the Japanese soldiers to suffer huge losses.
The puppet soldiers behind were all scared silly.
Especially when the six Krupp Mountain Cannons of the Artillery Company also started firing, the entire road was thrown into chaos.
Most of the puppet soldiers only hated their parents for not having two legs.
The soldiers of the 1st Battalion, who were still hiding in the wheat field, began to fire calmly, especially with the firing speed of the semi-automatic rifles. The ambushing force of 500 people seemed to have a firepower density of 1,000 to 2,000 people.
Especially the heavy machine gun position that had been built in the wheat field, making the entire ambush easier.
The bullets from the heavy machine guns easily turned the Japanese soldiers on the trucks into mush. The panicked puppet soldiers fell in rows.
Even the Japanese who were lying on both sides and launching counterattacks were suppressed to the point that they could not raise their heads.
Many of the Japanese officers who tried to organize a counterattack were killed as soon as they appeared.
What made the Japanese most depressed was that the attackers seemed to have an endless supply of bullets. In the past, the Chinese army that they encountered would only charge after a few rounds of gunfire.
But now, the other party was still calmly shooting. What made the Japanese feel the most depressed was that the other party's marksmanship was simply too good. Many Japanese didn't dare to fight back.
A few minutes later, Xu Jinxi saw that there were not many enemies left on the road, so he decisively ordered the troops to start charging.
Under the cover of the machine gun fire, the hundreds of soldiers of the 1st Battalion quickly got up and shot from the side, quickly approaching the road.
The battle ended in less than ten minutes. When Xu Jinxi walked onto the road, all the Japanese soldiers were killed because Li Yunfei did not want Japanese prisoners.
More than a thousand puppet soldiers raised their weapons and knelt on the road, trembling.
