Rise from the sword

Chapter 117 God assists!
Wolf Valley.

It is a canyon ninety miles north of Taiyuan, with a winding dirt road passing through the middle.

Near the canyon is the standard loess landform of Jindi. The mountains composed of exposed rocks and brown waste land rise and fall one after another, stretching as far as the eye can see.

In the early hours of the morning, Li Yunlong, who marched overnight, brought nearly 2000 people from his independent regiment and a new cavalry company to march here.

"This is Wild Wolf Valley."

Gathering several battalion and company commanders, with the help of the dim light in the early morning, Li Yunlong pointed to a canyon facing mountains on both sides in the distance, and the road in the middle of the canyon, and then drew a mark on the ground to represent the valley.

Without further ado, Li Yunlong pointed to the marks on the ground and began to describe the deployment of troops:
"The first battalion set up an ambush on the edge of the valley road on the left, and opened fire immediately after all the devils entered the predetermined ambush position. The artillery company set up a position behind the first battalion and followed the first battalion to fire at the same time."

"The second battalion set up an ambush at the corner of the valley exit to block the devil's way out of the valley."

"The third battalion is on the valley on the right. After the ambush starts, it is responsible for blocking the retreat of the devils. In addition, the third battalion distributes the firepower company to the first battalion to strengthen the first wave of firepower. The mortars of each battalion are also concentrated in the hands of the artillery company."

The first wave of attack was crucial. Li Yunlong not only arranged for the artillery company and the first battalion to attack at the same time, but also divided the firepower company of the third battalion into the first battalion to strengthen the first wave of firepower.And concentrated the artillery fire of the whole regiment.

Having said that, Li Yunlong looked at the commander of the cavalry company of the new regiment.He didn't know the commander of the cavalry company, and he never stopped, and he didn't know where Ding Wei got it:
"As for the cavalry company, wait here for the devils."

While speaking, Li Yunlong pointed to the exit corner of Wild Wolf Valley.

"Yes!"

The battalion and company commanders responded in unison.

"There are still about four hours before the arrival of the devils, and the ministries should seize the time to lay mines and build positions!"

Looking at the watch in his hand, Li Yunlong added something.

Although the information provided by Chen Fan contained the specific itinerary plan of this group of devils, Li Yunlong sent Wang Gensheng's investigation team to keep an eye on the movements of these devils at all times.

"Pity··"

Glancing at the valley on the right, Li Yunlong said it was a pity.

The valley on the right is not suitable for ambushes, otherwise the effect of pinching fire from two wings will be much better.

·····
At nine o'clock, the devils arrived as promised.

The Kwantung Army is also worthy of the title of the so-called 'Flower of the Imperial Army', with luxurious configuration.

A single squadron is equipped with six trucks, accompanied by three motorcycles with buckets to lead the charge. Unfortunately, the devil's trucks are too small, and six trucks can only make this squadron half a foot into mechanization. Most of the devils still had to travel on two feet, but all the devils had leather shoes with iron spikes on their feet, and their neat steps were stomping, stirring up dust along the way.

The godson "Iron Stone" puppet army in the back was much worse. Only the officers had a few horses to ride, and the rest traveled on two legs, and had to eat ashes behind the little devils.

"The devil is coming, pay attention to concealment!"

Li Yunlong was with the first battalion, lying in ambush in the ravine near the left side of the road, covered with dry grass, and he spotted the devil immediately with a binoculars.

The soldiers of the first battalion lowered their heads one after another, completely hiding their bodies in the ravine.

At the same time, the sound of a large group of gun bolts being pulled sounded.

Zhao Gang originally firmly disagreed with the regiment leader being on the front line directly, but he couldn't persuade him, so he ordered a rifle and stayed at the front line with Li Yunlong.

The devil team swaggered into the valley in a dense formation.

Wild Wolf Valley is a standard ambush terrain, with mountains on both sides, a long and narrow middle, and a valley suitable for concealment on one side.However, the devils of the Kwantung Army are used to being arrogant, and this place is close to Taiyuan, so there is no warning or pre-investigation at all.

When the devil convoy had just entered the ambush area, Li Yunlong waved his hand, and Zhang Dabiao and several soldiers on the side immediately pulled the lead wire in his hand.

boom boom boom

In the devil team, ten huge explosive fireballs instantly rose from the beginning to the end.

The landmines composed of ten German-made large tumors and nearly ten kilograms of black powder are astonishingly powerful. In the first wave of landmine offensive, Li Yunlong spent all his money and prepared ten large landmines.

In the series of explosions, the little bean trucks of the two unlucky devils were directly blown to pieces, more than 20 devils on board were blown up to the sky, and dozens of devils and puppet soldiers were blown to pieces and scattered in all directions. The fragments even cut down a large area of ​​devils and puppet troops.

"Fire..."

All the withered grass on the left was lifted, and a total of 500 machine guns from the first battalion and the third battalion firepower companies fired. At the same time, the remaining more than [-] soldiers also pulled their tethered rifles in their hands. Under the command, a dense row of bullets was fired at the devil.

Da da da····

Papa Pa...

The dense rain of bullets swept across, and the devils and puppet soldiers who hadn't recovered from their senses suddenly fell down.

The devils of the Kwantung Army are indeed worthy of being elite.

As soon as the explosion appeared, the devils on the four trucks that escaped the explosion jumped out of the truck one after another, rolled over and crawled backwards to hide, avoiding the car parts and rubble stirred up by the explosion, as well as the bullets fired from the left.

On the contrary, the puppet army behind was stunned by the bombing. In the first wave of fire, [-]% of the casualties were these second devils.

"idiot!"

"Who dares to ambush the imperial army here?"

Kwantung Army squadron leader Sano Xiaoshi was sitting in the fourth truck, so he was lucky to escape the first wave of explosions.Seeing that two trucks were blown up, dozens of imperial warriors accompanying them were smashed to pieces, and both sides of the road were covered with shattered limbs and arms. He was furious, but his back was also covered with cold sweat.

Just a little bit, he was broken for the imperial jade.

"Taijun, it's the Eighth Route Army!"

On the side, a puppet army saw the identity of the ambushing person on the left position. At a distance of more than 100 meters, even without binoculars, you can clearly see the Eighth Route Army armbands on the shoulders of the First Battalion.

"The Eighth Route Army?"

Sano Xiaoshi was stunned for a moment, with an unbelievable tone.

"Hey, Taijun, their armbands and hats are the Eighth Route Army!"

The puppet army pointed to the hat and armbands in the distance and said.

Holding up the binoculars and looking at it, Sano Xiaoshi, who was still a little scared in his heart, immediately burst into anger, his eyes widened, and his face was even redder, as if he had been humiliated.

He really didn't expect that the one who ambushed him was the so-called Eighth Route Army, a peasant army that didn't even have enough guns.

How dare this group of beggars ambush the imperial army?And dare to ambush the Kwantung Army, the flower of their imperial army?How dare you ambush the Kwantung Army of your own squadron?He had already imagined in his mind, after arriving in Taiyuan, the ridicule from various squadrons.

Mr. Shi, I heard that you were beaten by the Eighth Route Army on the way?

idiot!

court death!

Anger overshadowed reason, and the furious Sano Koishi pulled out his samurai sword suddenly. He rushed out of the car bunker, pointed murderously at the ambush position of the first battalion on the left, and shouted hoarsely:
"attack."

"All attack!"

It's not about finding a place to hide, it's not about counterattack, it's not about retreating, it's about attacking.

In the eyes of Sano Xiaoshi, being ambushed by the Eighth Route Army is a disgrace that needs to be washed away with blood.

"Kill this group of people!"

Following Sano Xiaoshi's clamor, the devils who were still looking for cover and dodged the bullets reacted quickly. Light machine guns and grenades began to fight back, and the infantry rushed to the first battalion on the left with bayonets on their shoulders.

"Smoke bomb cover!"

As a major, Koishi Sano still has basic military skills and knows how to fire smoke bombs even though he has been dazed.

On the last truck, a few devils dragged down a mortar and fired a few smoke bombs into the distance, and the grenades also fired a few smoke bombs into the distance.

boom boom boom

Smoke spread, obscuring the [-]st Battalion's sight of firing.

Seeing the masters charge first, and the smoke began to spread, the iron and stone puppet army also gained a little courage. Under the command of the devil officer, these second devils, who are known as the second-line division of the devil, also carried bayonets and bent over their shoulders. The waist followed and launched a charge.

"Humph!"

Seeing that the devil dared to launch a counter-charge, Li Yunlong sneered, opened the shell gun in his hand, his eyes were full of coldness.

In the past, even the new regiment he had been running for a year, it would be extremely difficult to face the devil's counterattack during an ambush. charge.

However, today is different from the past.

"Keep shooting and focus on hitting the devils who charge up!"

Li Yunlong sneered at this and ordered the first battalion to focus on taking care of the devils who rushed up.

The devil's machine gunners and grenadiers are hiding in the car or at the bottom of the road ditch on the other side. It is difficult for machine guns to hit them, but these devils rushing up are completely targets. There is no shelter between their ambush and the road .

The middle is completely empty!

On the contrary, the devil's smoke bomb had a great impact on the shooter, but the canyon was windy, so the effect of the smoke would not last long.

Intensive machine gun bullets fired at the devils, and the charging devils and puppet troops fell one by one. Just when Sano Xiaoshi discovered that this group of Eighth Route Army obviously did not have the same weapons as the legendary Eighth Route Army.

boom boom boom

The battery of artillery in the rear of the [-]st Battalion opened fire.

"The distance is 800 meters, and it takes 2 minutes!"

On the artillery company position 800 meters behind, Yansheng ordered two 82 mortars and four 60 mortars on the position to fire at full speed.

Mortars without rifling, low initial velocity, parabolic trajectory, and stabilized by the tail are inherently less accurate than barrel guns. They can be used as infantry companion guns because of their rate of fire and portability.

Therefore, the full rate of fire of the 60 mortar is as high as 82 rounds per minute, and the 20 mortar is also as high as [-] rounds per minute.

The shooting elements have been measured and marked in advance, and the distance is very close, so this time, the artillery company not only fired fast, but also fired accurately.

boom boom boom

The dense explosions landed in the middle of the devil's charging team, completely separating the devil's charge from the first battalion's position. Some shells fell on the devil's convoy and the devil's temporary position on the other side of the road.

Even for a light 60mm mortar, the power of its shell is equivalent to two German-made large tumors. As for the 82 mortar, the power of one shell is equivalent to six grenades, and the mortar is more powerful than the fragments of a grenade. More, more lethal.

In just 2 minutes, nearly [-] shells landed in the devil's position. Some devils were directly hit by the shells and shattered directly, and some devils were swept by shrapnel. died.

The devil's charge was directly smashed by the cannon.

Cannons are worthy of being the soul of infantry!

"Eight roads have guns!"

"Run..."

The raindrops of intensive shelling fell, and the puppet army of the 'Iron Stone System' who had been terrified by the intensive machine gun fire was defeated in an instant. From being comparable to second-line devils to being inferior to devils and miscellaneous soldiers, they all retreated with oil on their feet. , completely disregarding the orders of the devil officer around him, even if the devil officer took out the bastard box and forced him, he could do nothing.

Just kidding, is the pistol scarier or the cannon scarier?Is this still worth thinking about?
The elite devils of the Kwantung Army were not much better.

The wind in the canyon quickly blew away the smoke. The clothes of the devils were obviously higher than those of the puppet army, so they could be easily identified. Therefore, they were taken care of by the machine gunners of the second battalion. They were shot long and short, killing and wounding a large number of devils.

However, the devils of the Kwantung Army are indeed extraordinary. Even though they are at a disadvantage in all aspects of firepower and the officers make mistakes in command, they still caused a lot of casualties to the ambush, especially the grenadiers, more than 100 meters The distance is very suitable for this kind of weapon to play. In the short fighting time, four machine gun groups have been hit by the devil's grenade grenade, and there are as many as 20 casualties.

"Kill..."

Behind Wild Wolf Valley, Fang Yuanshan, the commander of the third battalion, led hundreds of people and entered the position while the devil was being violently beaten.

Some of the puppet troops who wanted to flee backwards had not yet left the canyon, but they encountered a burst of intensive shooting and volleys of guns, plus a stack of grenades. Dozens of puppet troops were killed instantly. The powerful firepower frightened the panicked and lost command puppet troops. , quickly turned around and fled forward.

At this time, the artillery company had already started to extend its artillery fire, and the artillery shells fell densely on the temporary position of the devils on the right side of the road.

Sudden.

Boom... A violent explosion wave exploded from the side of the Devil's car. An 82 mortar hit the Devil's mortar ammunition, wiped out the Devil's artillery unit, and even bombed the remaining trucks destroy.

"Is this the Eighth Route Army?"

"How could this be the Eighth Route Army!"

Crouching and hiding by the road, Sano Xiaoshi stared wide-eyed, looking at the ambushing enemy with fierce firepower in the distance, and the imperial warriors who fell one after another, it was incredible.

With such a powerful firepower, if this is the Eighth Route Army of beggars who lack weapons and ammunition, then what is the Imperial Army?
What is poorer than a beggar?

"Baga, why did the Taiyuan First Army let so many Republic of China troops ambush the imperial army here?"

"Breakout forward!"

"Send a report to Taiyuan asking for help!"

Although angry in his heart, Sano Xiaoshi was not angry anymore when he saw the defeated puppet army in the third battalion that was chasing after him.

If you don't retreat, you will be wiped out.

"Want to run?"

Seeing the devil retreat, Li Yunlong snorted coldly: "It's late!"

The battle went smoothly beyond imagination, and the development situation was far beyond Li Yunlong's expectations. Originally, he wanted to surround the devils in the canyon, and then rely on artillery to crush the devils.

But the devil's counterattack was a godly assist. At least the first wave of the first battalion's offensive killed more than 100 more than expected.

"Come on!"

Li Datuan started to fight, tore off his collar, raised his big blade and rushed towards the devil.

Seeing that his regiment leader moved, Zhang Dabiao also threw the Bren machine gun in his hand to the soldiers aside, raised the big blade and rushed forward.

"Come on..."

Accompanied by the loud charge, more than 600 soldiers from the Second Battalion descended like tigers, rushing towards the devils with machine guns and bayonets in their arms.

Wielding a big blade, Li Yunlong saw devils along the way, even if they fell to the ground, he would make a stab or shoot them to death without hesitation.After fighting for so long, everyone knows what the so-called elite devils are.

"You're the fucking head..."

"Monk, hurry up and protect the head!"

Li Yunlong took the lead in the charge too quickly, and before Zhao Gang could react, Li Yunlong had already rushed more than ten meters away, and he was so angry that he yelled.

Helpless, Zhao Gang could only call the monk to let him protect Li Yunlong.

"Yes!"

Picking up a red-tasseled pewter spear, Monk Wei rushed forward excitedly, but when he saw the direction the monk was charging, Zhao Gang was so angry that he jumped up immediately.

The monk didn't protect the leader at all, but rushed towards the devil, and his speed was so fast that he had already caught up with the front row, and the red-tasseled gun in his hand had already stabbed to death a slow-running devil.
