The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 434 It's Impossible

When it was approaching dawn, just when the Japanese army breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed their vigilance, they were thinking that they could take the opportunity to counterattack after dawn.

Several loud noises exploded in a certain area of ​​the Japanese camp.

The devils around rushed to investigate, only to find that the artillery squad, that is, the only two infantry artillery accompanying the army, had been blown up.

Yamaguchi, the captain of the devil's battalion, was furious, and ordered the surrounding camp to be sealed off to dig out the sneak attacking enemies. As a result, the whole camp was in chaos, and no trace of the enemy was found.

Finally, the Japs found some special metal fragments around the infantry guns.

After speculation, the devil came to a conclusion: it was a time bomb!
All of a sudden, the entire Fourth Brigade's camp was in turmoil. Who would have thought that the methods of the Eighth Route Army would emerge so endlessly.

Even the ticking time bomb was blown out.

What's even more frightening is how did the enemy who placed the time bomb around the infantry artillery manage to sneak into the artillery squad's station in silence?
The corpses of twelve devil soldiers whose hearts had been accurately pierced by a dagger lay quietly on the cold ground.

No one can tell the little devil what happened.

Under the turmoil of the army, Shankou's headquarters seemed to be unsafe. Shankou quickly ordered to strengthen vigilance and guard against the infiltration of small groups of Eighth Route Army troops.

……

"Deputy team, the infantry artillery in the West Village has been touched, and I don't know how the situation in Zhangjiazhuang is."

Huo Hua, the leader of the commando group of the Independent Regiment Commando, said worriedly.

Vice-captain Ye Min said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mu Mu is smart, and he will lead the team without any problem."

The fact is indeed the case, all the way to Zhangjiazhuang, Mu Mu led another commando combat team, and successfully touched the devil's artillery team.

The magical effect of this time bomb was once again brought into full play by the commando's night attack and infiltration operations.

In the words of the Commandos:

The night belongs to our Eighth Route Army, and the moon belongs to our commandos!Due to the moonlight, there is no place that our commandos cannot reach, no targets that cannot be penetrated, no operations that cannot be completed...

……

the other side.

"Your Excellency, Captain, at the Xiaohuanggou mountain pass, the Eighth Route Army has built a large number of concrete bunkers, and there are machine gun fortifications everywhere. Cartridge fire."

"The front and both sides of the woods were all blocked by their firepower."

"The opponent is definitely the main combat force of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army. Their uniforms are uniform, and all they wear are combat boots."

"There are not a few troops, at least two battalions."

"Our department launched an attack tentatively. The strength of the two squads was defeated after a single encounter. In just a few minutes, more than [-] people were killed. If they hadn't retreated fast enough, the two squads would have confessed there. !"

Withdrew in embarrassment, the Japanese squadron leader Ichiro Tsuda, who returned to the brigade headquarters, gathered his mind and reported the situation to the brigade leader Hirakawa.

Listening to the report, Hirakawa frowned into the word Chuan:
"Baga, what's going on here? Isn't what we're facing a regiment of the Eighth Route Army? In a normal Eighth Route Army, a regiment only has more than a thousand troops, and the main combat regiment only has two to three thousand troops."

"Even if the independent regiment has more troops, according to intelligence, there are three to five thousand troops."

"According to the news from the direction of Yangquan, the troops who attacked the county were all wearing military boots. They should be the main combat troops of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army. There is almost a main force of the regular regiment of the Eighth Route Army there."

"At this moment, the two roads of Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang are blocked by troops from the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army."

"It's just a small yellow ditch right now, and this independent regiment actually directly deploys two battalions of troops?"

Hirakawa did not doubt Tsuda Ichiro's intelligence.

If the intelligence obtained in exchange for the lives of more than 80 elite elites of the empire goes wrong, Ichiro Tsuda can go to open his stomach to apologize to the emperor.

"Pause the attack, and make plans after I report the situation to His Excellency the brigade commander."

"Hi!"

The news quickly spread to the brigade headquarters.

Shubian Yamaguchi and Hideo Nakajima who heard the news also looked suspicious.

The two immediately started analyzing the map of the surrounding area.

"Xiaohuanggou has deployed two battalions of troops along the way, and it is the main combat force of the independent regiment wearing leather boots. What about the other nodes? You know, there are nine nodes in total near our West Village. If every If so many troops are deployed everywhere, even if there are two independent regiments, it may not be enough."

Chief of Staff Hideo Nakajima said.

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, in addition, there is also a news from Pingchuan that the Eighth Route Army has built a large number of concrete fortifications at these nodes. We know the characteristics of this concrete. Within a certain period of time, as time goes by, the strength will continue to increase. Once After the intensity reaches the highest point, even if we use artillery, we won't be able to blow it away easily."

"Our artillery squad was raided and the infantry artillery was blown up. Most likely the independent regiment was afraid that we would use infantry artillery to bombard their fortifications."

"Therefore, our follow-up attack should not be delayed for too long."

Yamaguchi nodded, with a ruthless look on his face, and said, "What is this independent regiment planning? Are they deploying a large number of troops at every node?

It's just that there are actually two battalions of troops in the Xiaohuanggou area, and we simultaneously launched attacks on various nodes such as the small mountain pass in the north, the mountain road in the east, and the dirt road in the south.

I want to see if his independent group can really surround us. "

nine o'clock in the morning.

The Japanese Independent Fourth Mixed Brigade launched an attack on as many as four nodes around the West Village at the same time.

Every way to attack the Japanese army is about the strength of a squadron.

Yamaguchi, the captain of the Devils, even personally led a reinforced squadron to advance south towards the dirt road.

……

When the devil's troops began to leave the camp, Huang Baiyang, the leader of the sniper platoon, and Su Zhengqiang, the deputy platoon leader, knew that the stage belonging to the sniper platoon had arrived.

The commando's flawless infiltration last night and the surprise attack on the Devil's artillery squad taught the soldiers of the sniper platoon a lesson.

The soldiers of the guard company in the platoon told Huang Baiyang that the commando represented the highest level of infantry combat in the Independence Regiment.

"Platoon leader, you don't know that those guys in the commando team are always coquettish in front of other troops."

"The head of the regiment is eccentric. The equipment, ammunition, supplies, and food in the regiment should be followed by the commandos first."

"As far as the rifles at hand are concerned, the 500-style rifles we have on hand are not bad, but you don't know, the commandos still have sniper rifles! The sniper rifle with a quadruple scope is a The devils can be easily knocked out at a distance of [-] meters."

As soon as these words came out, Huang Baiyang and his party were all moved.

Sniper rifle!

Good stuff!

The soldiers of the guard company continued: "But we can't be unconvinced. The commandos are powerful, armed to seize cash flow in the enemy-occupied area, and attack the Japanese army's Mingbao Airport at night...Everything is real. Get the record."

With two shoulders and one head, Huang Baiyang is naturally unwilling to admit that the sniper platoon is inferior to the commando.

"In the past, the commando team was the best. That's because we didn't have our sniper platoon. With our sniper platoon in the future, we can't let his commando steal all the limelight!"

"This time, we can't let the commandos compete. We have to show up. Then I can tell the head of the team and let's get some sniper rifles!"

The soldiers of the sniper platoon all nodded their heads, full of high morale and anticipation.

After the sky brightened slightly, Huang Baiyang gathered the members of the sniper platoon and said seriously: "If the moon belongs to their commando team, then the sun belongs to our sniper platoon."

"Old rules, divide into combat groups, snipe and hit the target."

"Devil officers, artillerymen, and machine gunners shoot when they find an opportunity. The observers cooperate with the snipers. They just agree to prepare the evacuation route in advance. The premise of shooting is to ensure their own safety."

"If one shot hits, move immediately. We just want to make the devils feel that danger is everywhere, so that they are always in fear."

"Yes--"

The ten sniper teams were immediately divided into two teams. One team had five sniper teams, respectively lurking in the forests around Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang, waiting for opportunities to strike targets.

……

The head of the devil brigade, Yamaguchi Shubian, led the team and set off towards the south towards the dirt road.

Halfway through the walk, the peace in the mountains and forests was broken by the sound of gunfire.

The bullet fired from more than 300 meters away hit a staff officer next to the mountain tree, and the staff officer fell down and died.

The chief of staff, Hideo Nakajima, was so bluffed that his face changed, and he quickly shouted: "No, there are snipers, protect the head of the brigade!"

The ghost guards quickly surrounded Yamaguchi behind him.

After judging the approximate location of the sniper, the devil fired grenades at the area for a while.

Huang Baiyang, who had retreated in time, looked happy.

"Big fish, it's definitely a big fish. I didn't expect that after hitting a small fish, I would startle a big fish. Xiao Li, you saw it. When our gunshot fired, a dozen devils surrounded the man. Around the old devil."

"It's too far away, and I can't see the devil's collar badge clearly. At least he's an officer, maybe he's a lieutenant officer, or even a senior officer!"

"Bring me the binoculars and see what kind of official it is."

After receiving the binoculars, Huang Baiyang stared in the direction of the mountain pass.

It's just that the old devil was surrounded too tightly, Huang Baiyang waited for a long time, but he couldn't see the military rank on Shankou's collar badge.

on the mountain road.

Hideo Nakajima, the devil's chief of staff, said with a look of fear: "Your Excellency, brigade commander, it's too dangerous. I didn't expect there to be snipers from the Eighth Route Army lurking here. No, it's too dangerous to go on like this."

"Right now, I don't know if the snipers lurking around here have been knocked out, and I don't know how many there are."

"I suggest an immediate order that all officers take off their collar badges, not salute the officer, not surround the officer, and the sentries rely on the bunker for guarding, and not expose their bodies outside the bunker for a long time."

The stunned Yamaguchi nodded, "That's it!"

As Yamaguchi said, he immediately tore off his epaulettes.

Huang Baiyang, who was looking through the binoculars, finally saw the mountain pass through the crowd, but found that the collar of the old devil was missing his collar.

"Damn it, why did this old devil take off his collar badge?"

Xiao Li said: "Platoon leader, this devil is probably afraid of being attacked by us and recognized him as a high-ranking official, so he took off his collar badge."

Huang Baiyang nodded and said: "This old devil, don't think that I won't recognize him after taking off his collar badge."

"I have already written down the face of this old devil, Xiao Li, we will switch in a while, I will be your observer, and you will kill this old devil for me. If it is a devil official, you will make a great contribution .”

"How about it, the platoon leader will give you this opportunity to make meritorious deeds."

"Hey, thank you, platoon leader!" Xiao Li was almost overjoyed.

……boom--

A guard next to Yamaguchi fell to the ground.

Huang Baiyang saw that the devil immediately set up the grenadier, and hurriedly led Xiao Li to retreat. On the way, Xiao Li gasped in depression and said:
"Platoon leader, this... devil's guard is too annoying. He has been blocking that... old devil's surroundings. Just now, I was aiming at that... old devil's attack, but he was blocked by that devil's guard again."

Huang Baiyang said: "Don't worry, as long as this old devil doesn't run away, he will always find an opportunity."

On the mountain road, Yamaguchi was startled and angry at the moment, and the sniper was still there.

The previous bullet was definitely aimed at him.

Hideo Nakajima had a headache and said: "Brigade Commander, it seems that this secret enemy sniper is after you. If you go any further, it may be dangerous."

"Let the guards escort you back to the headquarters!"

"Yaoxi!" Yamaguchi nodded.

Then, the ghost guards kept vigilant against Huang Baiyang and Huang Baiyang in the woods all the way, escorted the mountain pass and Nakajima, quickly hid in the path on the back of the mountain, and returned to the temporary headquarters by detour.

"Damn it, let this old devil run away."

Huang Baiyang felt it was a pity, and then turned his anger on the remaining devils, "Xiao Li, don't rush to shoot, the devils are already eyeing our area, and the shells will hit us at any time."

"Wait patiently. After the devils exchange fire with the comrades on the southward dirt road, we will take action secretly."

"Yes!"

……

On the battlefield, the presence of snipers is undoubtedly terrifying, and when there are not many such snipers, it will be even more terrifying.

When Huang Baiyang and Xiao Li were eyeing the mountain pass, the other four sniper teams were also all idle.

The devils divided their forces to attack the teams at various nodes, and they were all attacked by the sniper team one after another.

After the observers locked on the target, the soldiers of the sniper team often retreated immediately after firing a shot. No matter how powerful the devil's artillery fire was, under the cover of the luxuriant forest, the shells had no time to follow up.

The comrades in the sniper team picked the devil officer to fight first, and the devil's officer was out of luck.

When the Yamaguchi Command was ordered to guard against sniping, no salute to the chief was given, and officers were not allowed to wear collar badges...

The news spread to all the troops, but it was only delayed for about ten minutes. The devil's officers were shot dead by the sniper team one after another.

Many of them were devil squad leaders, or even squadron leaders.

The casualties were reported to the headquarters, and Yamaguchi and Nakajima remained silent for a long time.

until ten o'clock in the morning.

News came from various nodes such as the small mountain pass in the north, the mountain road in the east, and the dirt road in the south. The offensive troops encountered fierce firepower from the Eighth Route Army, and all the attacks launched were repelled, and the troops suffered a lot of casualties.

According to the news passed back, at each node, there are at least 200 or more independent regiment main combat troops.

He independently formed the Fourth Brigade, and was completely besieged by the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment with the help of node fortifications.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. There are nine nodes around the West Village, each of which has at least 200 main combat troops. The Xiaohuanggou area even has two battalions of troops. Where did his independent regiment get so many soldiers?" ?”

No one could tell Yamaguchi the answer, and the various attacking troops returned in defeat.

Yamaguchi finally panicked, originally wanted to ask for help from the Ishii Regiment, but in the end... "Report to the commander, there is a message from the Ishii Regiment Command, requesting reinforcements from our department as soon as possible!"

Yamaguchi: "..."

Yamamoto, who finally realized that the battle situation had changed, didn't dare to delay any longer, and quickly sent a call for help to the surrounding mopping up troops.

"The independent regiment has come prepared, and the nodes are firmly guarded by danger. Continuing to attack will only increase casualties in vain. All troops are notified to retreat to the unnamed mountain outside Xicun Village, build fortifications on the spot, and wait for reinforcements!"

Yamaguchi, who failed to break through the defense of the independent regiment, had no choice but to give an order to defend...
