The Iron-Blooded Army of Beacon Fire

Chapter 224 Beheading 3

Amidst the rumbling sound of artillery, He Wei led his beheading team and the main force of the special agent battalion to the road to the 301st Regiment's position. Like the position near Tangshan, Chunhua also has a good combat readiness road, which is enough for the Japanese army. tanks, heavy equipment, cannons and tractors.

There is no doubt that the roads here were destroyed in advance by the 51st Division, and precisely because of their relative reliance on heavy equipment and vehicles, the 18th Brigade of the 9th Division that faced the 51st Division was also Therefore, roads were used to divide the combat areas of the two infantry regiments.

And now, He Wei will lead his beheading team along this road to penetrate through the joint between the 36th Infantry Regiment and the 19th Infantry Regiment.

In the fields on both sides of the road, He Wei led the beheading team to walk in the fields on the right side of the road. Behind them were the 1st Infantry Company and the 2nd Infantry Company of the Secret Service Battalion. On the left side of the road were the 3rd Infantry Company and the Artillery Company. and the communications platoon, seventeen No. 1 tanks of the tank company followed behind the secret service battalion, driving slowly through the field with the faintest lights on.

As the distance to the Japanese position continued to shorten, the sound of gunfire in the distance became louder and louder. Under the heavy attack of the 51st Division, the two infantry regiments under the 18th Brigade had concentrated all their firepower to counterattack. , the light and heavy machine guns, grenade launchers and infantry artillery equipped by each infantry brigade on the front line, and the wing artillery at the wing level all began to fire, firing fiercely in front of the position.

Signal bombs flew into the air one after another, illuminating the area where the two armies were engaging in firefights like daylight. The officers and soldiers of the marching secret service battalion could even see the trajectories of tracer machine guns flying into the air, becoming more and more violent. On the contrary, the sound of gunfire provided excellent cover for the march of the special agent battalion, and the roar of the engine when the tank drove in was also suppressed.

"Battal Commander, we've arrived, we've arrived."

The spy platoon leader Yang Biao trotted over carrying a 38-gai and several brothers wearing Japanese military uniforms, and nodded to He Wei.

He Wei immediately said to several officers of the special agent battalion around him: "Send it here. You can set up positions here, build fortifications, and keep a close watch on the surrounding areas. Once you see two red and one green flares, immediately move forward and attack." Meet us."

After He Wei finished speaking, Fu Chen, Fang Jing, and Hu Zhaowu did not respond immediately as in the past. Instead, they were thoughtful, worried, or hesitated to speak. They all lowered their heads, and no one spoke. The atmosphere was so tense. Something is very wrong.

He Wei also understood their mood very well. The beheading operation he carried out today was a reflection on those who before time travel were immersed in concepts such as special operations, airborne raids, precision strikes, and targeted killings every day, and were often exposed to battle examples such as the Volunteer Army's surprise attack on the White Tiger Regiment. For the military fans attracted by the story, it is really normal.

However, most of the officers under He Wei graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy or grew up in the army. The military education they received was the formal combat thinking of starting a battle and establishing a dignified formation. In their opinion, the beheading carried out by He Wei was too real. It's too deviant.

"Okay, don't worry, I'm sure if I dare to do it."

He Wei gave some words of persuasion, and after a brief formation, he finally led the fifty-two-man beheading team and cautiously moved forward.

Walking at the front was Kanjiro Nishi, disguised as a captain of the Japanese army. Kanjiro Nishi had previously been an infantry squad leader, so he got into the role very quickly. As soon as he walked away, the feeling of a captain of the Imperial Army suddenly came back to him. came back.

Behind him were He Wei, Yang Biao and several other team members, as well as Staff Officer Huang. He Wei, who was dressed as a team member with the rank of Commander Cao, besides the basic equipment, also brought a large briefcase with the military emblem of the Blue Sky and White Sun.

Of course, things like camouflage and latent penetration will not go smoothly all the way. According to the intelligence provided by Nishi Kanjiro, the Japanese army's maneuver is along this road, and there are also some sentry cordons and blockades along the way.

The beheading team was bound to be interrogated by Japanese security posts as they advanced. Therefore, this infantry team of more than fifty people could not appear here without any reason. There had to be a reason, so He Wei cleverly made up a name to do it. I got a big briefcase and some useless old documents and various official papers from the 51st Division.

He Wei planned that once he was interrogated by the Japanese guard post, he would say that he had found important documents from the corpses of the Chinese army, and he was ordered by his superiors to submit these confidential documents to his superiors. He would pull this tiger skin and think about this infiltration. It will be much smoother.

Behind He Wei and several other squad members was the main force of the infantry squad. Two light machine gun squads, two grenade squads and two infantry squads were arranged in sequence and moved forward in an orderly manner.

After advancing for three kilometers, fire finally appeared faintly in the distance. Nishi Kanjiro, who was walking at the front, saw the fire and immediately turned back and said to He Wei: "He Sang, the sentry line should be ahead."

"Well, you should be calm, adapt to circumstances, talk less, and try to minimize contact with them."

He Wei whispered to Kanjiro Nishi and winked at Yang Biao. Yang Biao reminded the dozens of brothers behind him in a low voice that after learning that they were about to encounter the Japanese army, he beheaded dozens of the brothers in the team. The Chinese officers and soldiers were all very energetic. The Type 38 rifles and Czech light machine guns carried on their shoulders were all loaded, and they were ready to fight the Japanese army at any time.

The four Japanese prisoners in the team were extremely anxious.

In the midst of various complicated emotions, the beheading team finally came into contact with the first Japanese sentry line. When the two sides were about three to four hundred meters apart, several flashlight lights came over, and then there was a burst of jabbering Japanese. ,

"Hey, who is this?"

"Don't move."

He Wei looked up and saw a lot of sandbags piled on the road. Probably a detachment of Japanese soldiers were guarding the area with flashlights. There were several Japanese soldiers hidden on both sides of the road, and there seemed to be two crooked handles. With sub-light machine guns, the Japanese troops on the road formed beheading squads. They all lay down and raised their guns in hostile actions.

"Stop moving forward."

Kanjiro Nishi raised his hand and shouted loudly in Japanese.

"Captain He, this guy asked us to stop advancing."

Officer Huang, who was following He Wei, whispered. He Wei also raised his hand and waved his fist back to signal the team to stop.

As soon as the team stopped advancing, Nishi Kanjiro suppressed the tension and panic in his heart and shouted to the front casually: "Hey, I am from the 36th Infantry Regiment, which section are you from?"

"I am also from the 36th Infantry Regiment. Please report the password."

When the Japanese sentries heard that they were from the 36th Regiment, their tone became much better and they obviously relaxed their vigilance.

"Sabae."

Kanjiro Nishi shouted. "mandarin duck."

The other side also gave a reply.

After Kanjiro Nishi shouted the command, the sentry on the opposite side completely relaxed his vigilance and waved in the direction of the beheading team. Kanjiro Nishi waved his hand carelessly and continued to move forward with the beheading team.

He Wei, Staff Officer Huang, Yang Biao, and everyone in the team carried their guns and quickened their pace, trying to avoid getting entangled with these Japanese sentries.

Everyone in the beheading team felt their hearts in their throats whenever they came into close contact with Japanese sentries.

The group of people speeded up and soon were about to completely pass the blockade of this outpost. Just as the following two rifle units were about to cross the blockade, the sergeant commander of the Japanese outpost suddenly shouted: "Wait a minute." "

Waiting in this life was like a thunder explosion. He Wei immediately grabbed the butt of the 38-meter gun on his shoulder, thinking that the Japanese had discovered something. He was about to turn around and go back, preparing to deal with the Japanese infantry that might attack at any time. When he was whistle-blowing, he suddenly heard the sound of dense footsteps.

"Etc., etc."

That day, the Japanese military sentry commander ran over panting, stopped near the machine gun team, and looked at the Czech light machine gun of the machine gun team with great interest. The person carrying the light machine gun was a light machine gun from the secret service platoon of the secret service battalion. Machine gun shooter.

He held the butt of the Czech advance rifle tightly and lowered his head, trying not to look directly at the Japanese sentry commander. Cold sweat broke out on his head. Fortunately, most of the soldiers in the secret service platoon were veterans. He would not panic immediately, but would be calm and observant. Therefore, when the Japanese sentry commander ran over, the machine gunner did not choose to fire immediately, but calmly stayed put and increased his alertness.

Of course, when the machine gun shooter made no big movements and was holding the butt of the Czech light machine gun with his left hand as usual, his other hand slowly moved to the bayonet scabbard on his waist and touched the bayonet handle.

The soldiers of the surrounding special agent platoon also quietly prepared for battle. Some secretly obtained grenades, some were ready to take out the speed machines and submachine guns from their backpacks, and some soldiers were attacking the people mixed in the team. The Japanese prisoners issued threats to prevent these young men from taking the opportunity to do bad things. The entire beheading team's march was very quiet, and it was eerily quiet.

The battle seems to be about to break out.

Kanjiro Nishi, who was walking at the front of the team, was almost frightened and had a heart attack due to the Japanese sentry commander's annoyance. He pretended to be angry and walked towards the Japanese sentry commander. When he got up, he yelled, "What are you yelling at?" Baga, we have an important mission to perform, don’t interfere with our mission, get out of here.”

As he said that, he saw that the rank of the sentry commander was only Cao Commander, and he gave the sentry commander two more big mouths.

The sentry commander was slapped in the face and was about to argue, but when he saw the lieutenant rank on Nishi Kanjiro's shoulder, he immediately lost his temper and could only stand at attention and bow obediently.

"Hi, sir, I'm sorry. I just saw that you were using machine guns from the Chinese army, and I wanted to take a look. I saw that many troops were using machine guns from the Chinese army, and I have always wanted to use them."

"Damn it, if you want to use the Chinese army's light machine gun, go and shoot it yourself. Go and seize it on the battlefield. Get out of here."

Nishi Kanjiro cursed. He was feigning anger just now, but now he is really angry. The word "wait" shouted by the Japanese sentry commander just now frightened him so much that his legs went weak and his heart pounded. Jump.

Now that he learned that this guy was only interested in Czech light machine guns, Kanjiro Nishi was so angry that he was furious.

"keep going."

Nishi Kanjiro shouted and waved to He Wei. Staff Huang, who understood Japanese, also nodded to He Wei. He Wei then breathed a sigh of relief and continued to move forward with his rifle. The group passed the Japanese army's third pass. A level.

Subsequently, the beheading team passed several Japanese sentry blockades one after another. The beheading team's luck can be said to be very good. Nishi Kanjiro, who has been loyal to the Chinese army, and several Japanese prisoners all came from the 36th Japanese infantry. Alliance.

The Japanese sentries encountered along the way were all from the 36th Infantry Regiment, and no sentries from the 18th Regiment were encountered, which greatly increased the safety factor of the beheading team.

The soldiers of an infantry regiment of the Japanese army are almost all from the same place, and the same is true for the 36th Infantry Regiment. All its soldiers are from Sabae County, Japan. Whenever they are questioned, Nishi Kuan learns the lesson. Jiro deliberately showed off his accent to the Japanese sentry, and when the sentry heard the familiar accent, he naturally lowered his guard. Therefore, it can be said that the journey was smooth.

Even after passing a few sentries, Nishi Kanjiro, who was originally scared to death, relaxed. When passing the follow-up sentries, he could occasionally make some jokes unique to his hometown with the interrogating Japanese soldiers.

The 51st Division's fierce feint attack also played a lot of role. On the way, the beheading team encountered many Japanese heavy troops and horse-drawn carriages transporting supplies to the forward positions. These large and small baggage teams that were eager to transport ammunition and supplies to the forward positions were all Rushing to deliver ammunition, all attention was focused on the forward position. Who would have thought that the beheading team that passed them was actually a fake Chinese army?

The Japanese army's vigilance was also tight on the outside and loose on the inside. The deeper they went into the rear of the Japanese army, the worse the Japanese army's sentry and state strength became. Of course it was not clear why. The feint attack and harassment launched by the 51st Division had already made the Japanese army's third Jing Shuxuan, the commander of the 18th Brigade, had to go to the front line.

In order to prevent possible counterattacks by the Chinese army at night, the two Japanese infantry regiments on the front line also pulled all three infantry brigades under their respective positions into position to maintain tight defense against the former Chinese army.

This means that more troops are used in frontal positions, and naturally fewer troops are used for security and reserve forces.

The operation went surprisingly smoothly, beyond He Wei's expectation. He had originally prepared a fake identity for Kanjiro Nishi, and then prepared fake identities for the entire team, and even prepared a reason for being interrogated. alright.

But who would have thought that the operation would go so smoothly that none of the reasons prepared in advance would be used.

He Wei also adapted to the situation. After discovering that the Japanese army's security was not very tight, he also ordered the beheading team to speed up their advance, or even simply run forward, and the speed of their actions was greatly accelerated.

The headquarters of the 18th Brigade of the 9th Japanese Division and the campsite guarded by King Asaka Palace Hatohiko and his entourage quickly appeared within the sight of the beheading team.
