Rise from the sword

Chapter 119 Victory and Loss.

"airplane!"

"hidden!"

"The firepower companies of each battalion are assembled and prepared for air defense!"

Seeing two Japanese planes approaching at high speed in the distance, Li Yunlong roared loudly.

Following his order, the soldiers of the Independent Regiment reacted instantly, and the more than 1000 people who had gathered together suddenly dispersed. They quickly searched for rock walls, hillsides, bomb craters, etc. in units of squads, and crawled to avoid them.

Needless to say, the veterans, their expressions were calm and relaxed during the evasion and running, and the recruits did not panic much, and they found the bunkers in an orderly manner. Under the command and coordination of each squad leader, they all found the shelters, and there was no occurrence of several soldiers vying for cover. The situation of the location.

Regarding the concealment after the arrival of the Devil's plane, they have practiced this set of movements nearly a hundred times.

very mature.

At the same time, the five Bren type with anti-aircraft tripods of each battalion's firepower company quickly placed the high-level tripods in the corner, and the machine gunner set up the machine gun and pulled the trigger in the direction of the Devil's plane.

Da da da····

Amid the sound of a series of shots, a net made of bullets was laid in front of the dive route of the Devil's plane.

The skillful and smooth covert movements of more than 500 people in the regiment, as well as the smooth and silky air defense counterattacks of the three firepower companies, are the meaning of training.

If there hadn't been a month and a half of recruit training and hundreds of actual combat simulations to allow soldiers to master this set of evasion procedures, facing the plane's dive, loud noises and machine gun fire would inevitably cause chaos, and it would definitely not be like So organized now.

Unfortunately,
The Mauser 7.92mm bullets fired by the Bren style are seriously insufficient for air defense. Fortunately, the devil's plane is also notoriously thin-skinned. Facing the firepower net compiled by fifteen machine guns, two devil planes can't do anything. Do not increase the flight altitude.

Da da da·····

The machine guns on the two wings of the plane burst into flames, and the bullets fired splashed four half-meter-high dirt and gravel on the ground.

Among the four bullet marks, three new enlisted soldiers with bad positions were hit. The 7.7mm bullets used by the Devil's aircraft are far more powerful than the 6.5mm Arisaka rifle bullets used by the Sanba Dagai. Ordinary machine guns such as crooked handles, under the heavy rain of bullets, two of the three soldiers died on the spot, and one soldier was shot in the shoulder, bleeding profusely.

In this round of shooting by the devils, there were three casualties.

This is impossible.

Fighting at high altitude and at low altitude already had an advantage. Even if the soldiers of the independent regiment avoided them, and even with the cover of firepower formed by fifteen machine guns, they were still at an absolute disadvantage. Unless there was a perfect bunker, it would be difficult to completely avoid casualties.

Fortunately, the timely concealment reduced the casualties, otherwise, the devil's strafing at this wavelength would have caused more casualties.

"Hygienist!"

Seeing that a soldier in his class was shot, the veteran squad leader hurried to the soldier and pressed his hand on the wound. As he shouted, a hygienist carrying a medicine box ran to the wounded soldier and tied the shoulder with gauze to stop the bleeding. .

"The little devil of the dog day!"

After letting go, the squad leader cursed at the Devil plane behind him.

"Replace the magazine!"

"Get ready to fire!"

The assembled firepower company with fifteen machine guns was concealed beside the mountain wall. Li Yunlong squinted his eyes and looked at the Devil plane circling in the distance. His eyes were calm and unaffected at all.

At his command, fifteen Brens were replaced with a new full magazine, and the shooters aimed their circle sights at the two circling Japs, their fingers resting on the triggers, and they held their breath.

Beside them, there are dozens of Czech or Bren type mounted on the shoulders of the soldiers, with their guns pointed at the devils.

A round of strafing obviously couldn't satisfy the devils. After circling one left and one right, the two planes swooped down to the independent regiment again, and the four machine guns on both wings pulled out a series of bullets.

"Fire!"

At the same time, Li Yunlong roared angrily.

In an instant, dozens of Bren and Czech fighters weaved a denser bomb net against the two diving Devil planes.

In this round of shooting, the devils had to increase the altitude due to the power of the machine gun position. They fired at a height of close to 300 meters and [-] meters. In addition, the soldiers concealed better than before. Only one soldier was hit in the thigh if he did not evade in time .

But it is a pity that due to the poor organization of firepower, the difficulty of shooting into the air and the insufficient power of the bullets, the temporary air defense positions on the ground did not have any results.

There was a wave of head-on shots from both sides, and the Devil Aircraft had a slight advantage, but the advantage was very small.

"The firepower company continued to suppress the devil's plane, and the rest of the fighters quickly cleaned up the battlefield and retreated in 10 minutes!"

With the suppression of the firepower company, the two Type 7.7 fighters equipped with only four [-]mm machine guns obviously did not pose much threat to the independent regiment. Li Yunlong immediately ordered the soldiers to quickly clean up the battlefield and prepare to retreat.

The business has been completed, all five hundred devils and puppet soldiers have been killed, and five hundred barrels of canned pigs have been obtained.

Time to slip.

Otherwise, if the devil cavalry comes to support them, the independent regiment will have to explain here.

He didn't want to have a field battle with the devil cavalry in this wilderness.

"The devil's guns and ammunition are all picked up, and food supplies are also brought, and other things are not used."

"Be careful not to carry too much weight!"

Holding a big blade, Zhang Dabiao cursed and directed the soldiers to clean up the battlefield.

Although the six large trucks carrying supplies were all blown up by the artillery, there are still many good things left on the battlefield. The Kwantung Army devils are worthy of the title of the flower of the imperial army. This group of devils is far richer than the devils in the North China Plain. Not only were the luggage and supplies brought with them all high-quality goods, but the devils also hid a lot of good things on their bodies, including Japanese yen, oceans, cigarettes, watches, everything.

The soldiers picked it up with great joy.

As for the iron and stone puppet army, needless to say these guys, these desperadoes for money and enjoyment are full of belongings, with an average of twenty oceans per person, and there are many good things.

A group of new and veteran soldiers ran around the battlefield full of stumps, limbs and arms without changing their expressions...

After avoiding the shells and shooting of the devils, witnessing the cruelest bayonet battle, and bearing the strafing from the planes, after experiencing all these, even the nervous recruits can calmly walk through the battlefield where the corpses are flying, regardless of the broken body. mutilated corpses.

This is actual combat.

The best actual combat for the growth of recruits.

"Hurry up!"

"Choose something good!"

Zhang Dabiao, with quick eyesight and quick hands, took off the watch on a devil's wrist, and shouted loudly.

In fact, without his urging, the soldiers were more energetic than the previous battles.

Suddenly, Zhang Dabiao saw a soldier not only stripped off the clothes of a second devil who had been beaten into a sieve, but also put a bayonet on the second devil's mouth, and immediately cursed:
"What about you?"

"It's fine if it's intact. The coats of these two devils have been drilled with more than a dozen holes by machine guns, and they are covered in blood. What more? You don't think it's dirty? And you, are you planning to cut off his tongue? ?”

Having been robbed of several heads by the monk before, Zhang Dabiao was in a very upset mood now, and immediately scolded the soldier when he saw the soldier's stupid actions.

The soldier was not afraid, and continued to pry his mouth with the bayonet while smiling:
"Battalion Commander, this bastard's second devil is very rich! I found 30 yuan on him, two small gold bars, and there are several gold teeth in this kid's mouth!"

"Gold teeth?"

Zhang Dabiao was overjoyed: "Don't miss a single one, you know?"

Gold is a good thing.

"Yes!"

After stabbing it with a bayonet, it was found that it couldn't be pried open. This obviously novice soldier smashed down the butt of his gun, and happily took out three gold teeth.

The devil planes circled back and forth in the sky, but they never dared to dive and shoot. After all, the dozens of machine guns on the wings were not a small threat. If they lowered their altitude, they might be hit.As for the virtue of his own plane, the devil naturally knew very well, and the previous rounds of strafing had proved that strafing at high altitude was useless, so he could only worry about it in the sky.

Amidst the buzzing and circling sound, the soldiers of the independent regiment swiftly gathered the bodies of the fallen soldiers and collected the captured weapons and ammunition.

"withdraw!"

When 10 minutes were up, Li Yunlong immediately retreated with the whole regiment of soldiers, not caring about the unpacked supplies all over the floor.

Besides, all the good things have been looted by the soldiers, and all that is left is rubbish!

The ravines and ravines in the mountains of Jindi hide the whereabouts of the Independent Regiment. In the end, the two [-]-type fighter jets of the Devils could only watch the Independent Regiment disappear into the mountain valley. After shooting a pass, he shook his wings and flew back to Taiyuan.

More than an hour after the independent regiment left, the cavalry regiment from Taiyuan arrived late. Seeing the corpses all over the ground, the regiment leader got off his horse and slashed wildly with a knife.

"idiot!"

At the Taiyuan First Army Headquarters, Yoshio Shinozuka, who received the news, was shocked and speechless at first, then he tossed the documents all over the table, drew out his samurai sword and chopped the table into pieces.

What made him angry was that some troops openly ambushed a first-class Kwantung Army squadron within [-] kilometers of Taiyuan during the day.

Moreover, it was wiped out!
This is simply a great shame for the First Army.

"Check it out for me!"

"After Yamamoto came back, let him take charge of this matter!"

The red-eyed Shinozuka Yoshio called the intelligence department and ordered them to find the attackers. He wanted to find out who the attackers were, and then chopped off his head to restore the honor of the First Army.

"General, what about looking for Li Yunlong's independent regiment?"

The staff officer of the intelligence department said in a low voice.

The previous order was to give priority to the intelligence department and Osamu Yamamoto to find Li Yunlong's independent regiment resident, and postpone all other matters.

"Find the enemy who attacked the Kwantung Army squadron first, and delay other things later."

Shinozuka Yoshio squinted his eyes and spoke coldly.

A Kwantung Army squadron was wiped out near his Taiyuan, and he had nothing to do with the ambush troops. This was obviously much more serious than the defeat of the Sakata Regiment, the killing of Sakata Dazuo, and the attack on Shuangfeng Town.

If this matter is not handled properly, it will definitely affect the next North China Front Army meeting.

"Hi!"

The staff officer bowed his head and retreated.

Shinozuka Yoshio looked at the map of Taiyuan surroundings hanging on the wall, lost in thought.

According to the information sent by the pilot, judging from the military uniforms, the attacking troops were the Eighth Route Army, with a number of about 500 people, equipped with a large number of machine guns, and even equipped with special anti-aircraft machine gun mounts. According to the establishment of the Republic of China troops, this is already a main force. regiment strength.

According to the cavalry regiment's on-the-spot survey of the battlefield, it was concluded that the attacking troops had strong firepower and were equipped with a large number of mortars, which were stronger than the light artillery fire of a brigade of the imperial army.The group used all German ammunition, and there was plenty of ammunition, leaving a lot of fresh shell craters and fresh shell casings at the scene.

The German firepower has a large number of machine guns, even anti-aircraft machine guns, and mortar fire that is stronger than the imperial army brigade...
Is this really the Eighth Route Army?
In addition, where did this so-called regiment of the Eighth Route Army come from?Where did you get such accurate information?

A series of doubts emerged in Shinozuka Yoshio's mind.

Having dealt with the Eighth Route Army for so long, Shinozuka Yoshio naturally knew what equipment the Eighth Route Army was.

The average number of bullets per capita is no more than a dozen rounds. Even the main force group can’t have one gun per person, and most of them are old goods. The main force of firearms is even made in Hanyang in the last century. Many rifled guns have been ground into smoothbores. gun.Suddenly, a regiment of the Eighth Route Army equipped with a large number of mortars and dozens of machine guns jumped out, which made him unbelievable anyway.

After three years, he has seen the Eighth Route Army with strong combat effectiveness, such as the regiment led by Li Yunlong, but he has never seen the Eighth Route Army with good weapons and sufficient ammunition.

Moreover, although the news that the Kwantung Army squadron went to Taiyuan was not kept secret, no one knew about it, and the time and route of departure were random, chosen by the Kwantung Army squadron leader freely, but judging from the traces on the scene, the Eighth Route Army The unknown regiment obviously came prepared and ambushed Xiaoshi Squadron with a purpose.So, where did they get such accurate information?

A series of doubts made Yoshio Shinozuka almost frowned.

"idiot!"

In the end, he couldn't think of a clue and could only curse bitterly.

······
"Our regiment captured a lot in this battle!"

In the independent group, Zhao Gang smiled all over his face:

"270 1-type rifles and bayonets each, five submachine guns, more than 53 rounds of Arisaka rifle ammunition, [-] grenades, two grenade grenades, and [-] grenade grenades."

"There are also five devil sabers, five bastard box pistols and some bullets."

Zhao Gang put the bastard box behind the devil's saber and reported it.

This kind of pistol with short range, high firepower, weak power, and easy to break down, no one in the independent regiment cares about it at all. There are more than two hundred shell guns in the regiment, and the quality is good. Why do you need this kind of garbage gun? ?Bullets are also particularly difficult to replenish.

"In addition, we also seized a lot of property, including more than 3000 pieces of ocean, more than 7000 yen, 25 small gold bars and some fragmented gold nuggets totaling more than two kilograms, seven watches, and some silverware. They have not been weighed. "

Speaking of this, Zhao Gang suddenly cursed, expressing his inner feelings:
"These dogs are really rich."

Usually, the devils and puppet soldiers rarely carry their belongings with them, but this time the devils and puppet soldiers marched a long distance and looted a lot of property along the way. To seize so much property.

This property is really a lot, especially the two kilograms of gold.

"How many casualties?"

With [-] tons of weapons and ammunition and [-] barrels of canned meat, Li Yunlong has no interest in these yellow and white things, nor is he interested in the devil's weapons and ammunition.

"Casualties are within an acceptable range!"

Zhao Gang continued: "One hundred and seven soldiers were killed and 52 were injured, including 19 seriously injured."

After a pause, Zhao Gang said with emotion: "The devils of the Kwantung Army are really powerful!"

"Hmm! These devils are very tenacious!"

Uncommonly, Li Yunlong did not swear or despise devils, but spoke solemnly:

"These devils react quickly, have accurate marksmanship, and have a tenacious will to fight, especially their grenadiers. Half of our regiment's casualties were caused by devils' grenadiers. I'm afraid our casualties will be half as many!"

"but···"

Li Yunlong's tone suddenly improved: "After this battle, our regiment's combat effectiveness will have a qualitative improvement!"

"Correct!"

Zhao Gang nodded: "Actual combat is the best training!"

After a pause, Zhao Gang changed the subject:
"Should we hand over all these weapons, ammunition and property to the superior?"
