Rise from the sword

Chapter 177 Yamazaki is in danger... Yamazaki is gone!
"Why does the independent group have such a useless thing like you!"

"Fucking labor..."

Thunderous cursing came from the meeting room of the regiment headquarters, and wave after wave rushed to the surroundings.

Hearing the scolding, Monk Wei, who was walking towards the regiment headquarters, subconsciously stopped. Seeing Zhang Dabiao sitting on the threshold, he also patted his buttocks and sat on the threshold together.

Although the curses from both sides in the room were extremely loud, and the tone was full of anger, it sounded as if the two sides had a deep hatred that could not be resolved, and there was a feeling that they would fight in the next second...

But outside the regiment gate, there were two people sitting on the threshold—Zhang Dabiao, with his legs crossed, yawned and picked his ears.Monk Wei touched his cropped hair, and yawned as if infected.

The head of the regiment and the political commissar quarreled again.

There is nothing to be fuss about.

daily!

daily!

"What's going on this time?"

The monk who just arrived had a relaxed tone, as if he was asking some gossip.

"A brigade of devils has rushed into the base area. The headquarters has gathered troops to kill this brigade of devils."

Speaking of the reason, Zhang Dabiao frowned:
"This time, our brigade was in charge of the main attack. The political commissar went to the brigade headquarters to hold a combat meeting. The brigade headquarters asked our regiment to be the reserve team. It was our turn in the end. The regiment leader was unhappy."

He wasn't worried about the political commissar and head of the quarrel, there was nothing to worry about.

What he was worried about was whether the troops could take down the devils, and the casualties of this battle.

As far as he knew, the Yamazaki Battalion occupied the Guan family and built a defensive position condescendingly. The offensive passage there was narrow, and the troops could only go up one by one, which was almost a refueling tactic. great.

Coupled with the fact that several planes came to support Taiyuan, this battle was not easy to fight.

"No wonder!"

The monk suddenly realized.

How to make the leader angry?He was not allowed to fight some devils, and he was not allowed to participate in the charge.Baozhun was so angry that smoke rose from his seven orifices, and he jumped into a rage.

Look, like now.

"Then this battle is not for us?"

The monk licked his lips regretfully.

Counting with my fingers, I haven't fought a devil for almost a month!

One month!
The devils in Shouxian County can't live or die. They are still defending the independent regiment against the night and day. It's three steps, one post, five steps and one post. It's not easy for him to make trouble. The gun, if the position is not good, it can still kill him.

But this time, the headquarters gathered troops, at least a dozen regiments, to deal with a large group of devils. Not only could they not eat meat, they didn't even have soup.

No wonder the captain was angry.

"Not necessarily."

Zhang Dabiao narrowed his eyes.

The terrain of the Guan family's annoyance can't be regarded as one man's gate, but it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and after so many years of fighting, he knows the devil's ability to fight defensive battles, this battle.

difficult!
"You mean we'll have a chance at the end?"

The monk was surprised: "No way, the devils only have more than 500 people, half a brigade. We have a whole brigade as the main attack. How could we not win? Didn't our regiment easily solve the half brigade of devils last time?"

There are only five hundred devils.

In the past, one regiment of the independent regiment could solve it. Although the weapons and equipment of the independent regiment are much better than other regiments now, the main force of the entire brigade is not as good as an independent regiment?And recently added a large number of machine guns.

"It's different."

Zhang Dabiao rolled his eyes.

This monk is extremely capable of individual combat, one person in one squad.But this command ability and battlefield interpretation ability are only equivalent to one squad.

"What's the difference?"

The monk did not understand.

It's not a siege.

Moreover, the arsenal of the headquarters is located in the first-line sky. The terrain there has no flat land or gun towers at all. It is definitely the dominant territory of the Eighth Route Army.How could the devil still be arrogant?

"This group of devils is hiding in the Guan family camp. They rely on strong fortifications, and they are condescending to defend. There can only be a regiment of troops in that place. It is not so easy for us to attack."

Zhang Dabiao explained.

"Can only deploy the strength of one regiment?"

The monk frowned.

Although his commanding ability is seriously biased, and it is difficult to lead a platoon, but he has been with Li Yunlong for so long, and he still knows the basic commanding knowledge.The troops of the Eighth Route Army, except for the independent regiment, deal with one and a half brigades of devils, one regiment after another, that is a refueling tactic.

The two were chatting, jingling... suddenly the phone rang, and the scolding in the room suddenly stopped.

Immediately afterwards, Li Yunlong's loud voice with a flattering tone:

"Hello Brigadier! Hello Brigadier."

"How can it be? How is this possible? Don't frame me."

"Yes Yes Yes Yes··"

"Guaranteed to complete the task, if you can't take down the Yamazaki brigade, I, Li Yunlong, will give you my head as a chamber pot."

"Hey hey..."

After the phone was hung up, Li Yunlong's signature simple and honest smile followed.

Outside the door, the two looked at each other.

"As I said, we have a chance to play in this battle." Zhang Dabiao raised his head proudly.

"Really..."

The monk muttered, touched the two Desert Eagles on his waist, and then rubbed his hands with excitement.

A battle was fought, and devils were killed.

In the house, the situation suddenly turned to one side at this time, the original fierce quarrel was gone, Li Yunlong was full of laughter when he spoke, and the thick earthen walls could not conceal the joy of Chief Li.

"Hahaha····"

"Old Zhao, you come to organize the troops. I have to think carefully about how to fight this battle. It's not easy to fight this place." Leader Li patted Zhao Gang on the shoulder, his tone trembling with excitement.

"You do it yourself."

But at this time, Zhao Gang's tone was not kind: "I'm a useless thing, labor and capital can't do this."

Zhao Gang's words made Li Datuan's expression froze.

Outside the door, the monk and Zhang Dabiao held their mouths together and almost let out a pig cry from laughter.

······
The Guan family was annoyed.

On this small hillside.

Accompanied by the sound of hysterical charging, the dense rain of bullets from the offensive and defensive sides interweaved into a meteor light curtain, occasionally mixed with grenades from grenades, mortars, and mountain artillery, passing by like a comet.

One by one, the Eighth Route Army in earth-gray military uniforms lined up in a scattered but implicitly regular formation, carrying rifles with stuck bayonets, with their heads buried, in the rain of bullets and in the gap between shell explosions, zigzag towards the hillside Rush up.

On the hillside, the devils were not to be outdone. They hid behind bunkers and in cave dwellings, and shot at the Eighth Route Army charging down the hillside. Before the attacking troops approached, the devils would even organize a wave of counterattacks, and mobilize their superior firepower and artillery to suppress the intruding troops. The troops fought back.

In some areas, brutal hand-to-hand combat may even occur.

after a long time...
Due to the serious losses of the attacking Eighth Route Army and the decline in the physical strength and morale of the soldiers, the head of the rear had to order a retreat.At this point, the intertwined barrage finally stopped, and the explosion gradually died down.

Zhongzuo Yamazaki hid in a staggered bunker of different sizes, held up his binoculars, and watched the Eighth Route Army gradually receding in the distance.

Something is not right.

This is already the fifth attack launched by the Eighth Route Army.Although the opponent was repulsed every time they attacked, and every time they suffered heavy losses, they had to change troops to continue, but...

Similarly, every time, his team lost a lot.

Looking at the corpses of the Imperial Army and the Eighth Route Army all over the ground in front of the trench, Yamazaki was horrified.

Something is wrong with these Eighth Route Army!

This is not a beggar army.

This group of people has tenacious combat effectiveness, high morale, fearless and flexible movement when charging. They are definitely a well-trained elite force with rich practical experience.

In addition to inferior weapons and equipment, the gap with the imperial army may... really not that big.Far stronger than those imperial association troops, and much stronger than those guerrillas he had dealt with before.

Even with 1 reluctances in his heart, Yamazaki still had to admit that the group of Eighth Route Army in front of him seemed far stronger than he expected.

It's not as vulnerable as the imperial intelligence department advertises.

in addition···
It is said that each squadron of the Eighth Route Army has only one machine gun, and the bullets per capita are less than five rounds. But what he saw, the machine guns on the other side are not as rare as in the legend, and the bullets are not as rare as in the legend, and the mortar fire is also somewhat. The fire suppression of his position is not weak.

Even, the opponent has smoke bombs.

And the more serious problem is...
In just five attacks, most of his ammunition was consumed, and now it's only been a day. The reinforcements are still separated by tens of kilometers of mountain roads, and the Eighth Route Army is blocking them. It will take at least a day and a night to rush over.

He had asked for ammunition to be dropped by air, but there is no transport plane in Taiyuan now, and the original three transport planes were all blown up by Li Yunlong.Now there are only fighter jets and reconnaissance planes in the airport, and the number distributed throughout Shanxi is seriously insufficient. There are only seven planes supporting him, and there are fourteen sorties in total.

Insufficient air support, Yamazaki could only join the reserve team many times to launch a counter-charge to repel the enemy.

Play like this again.

He does not know whether the Eighth Route Army has bullets, but he is almost out of bullets.

As long as the Eighth Route Army is attacking in a few waves, he can only launch the long live bayonet charge.

At this time, an idea appeared in the heart of the beaten old devil Yamazaki.

These ordinary Eighth Route Army units are so powerful, so how powerful is the legendary elite Li Yunlong, the one who defeated the Sakata Alliance and bombarded Taiyuan?
Although he was ready to be loyal to the empire and the emperor at any time, he didn't want to be wiped out by the Eighth Route Army in this kind of place.

Just when Yamazaki felt bad about the situation, he found that the new Eighth Route Army seemed to be different from the previous ones. They did not directly charge, but buried themselves in digging a few hundred meters away.

"Is this digging a position?"

After observing for a while, Yamazaki didn't see what the group of Xinbalu wanted to do for a while?
The opponent dug a dozen deep trenches at about 500 meters from his position, resembling linear trenches during World War I, but they were not reinforced and machine gun shelters were not set up. The excavated soil was piled directly on both sides.

Could it be that he was unable to attack for a long time and planned to surround him and trap him to death?Then force him to attack?
Moreover, the technology of the Eighth Route Army in digging bunkers is simply not as good as that of elementary school students in the empire.

"It seems that the Eighth Route Army is nothing more than that! It's nothing but the courage of a man."

After watching for a while, Yamazaki sneered.

Although he only brought supplies for seven days, can you insist on besieging him for seven days?The support troops of the three wings outside are only tens of kilometers away. They can't arrive in one day, but they can arrive in two days at most.

"It seems that the Eighth Route Army has no strength to attack, and they have run out of weapons and ammunition."

A staff officer on the side speculated.

"Send a small team to be on guard, and the rest of the troops will rest in place."

Yamazaki held his head high, full of vigor: "My brigade will continue to stand firm here. When reinforcements arrive in two days, it will be time for us to counterattack. At that time, I will blossom in the center of the Eighth Route Army and completely defeat it in one fell swoop."

Yamazaki made up his mind that he would not take a single step until the reinforcements arrived.

But the old devil looked at it leisurely for a while, and vaguely felt that something was wrong. The trench dug by this group of people seemed to be extending towards his position, but because the other party was digging in a zigzag shape, it seemed that he was actually besieged.

"No, they are digging..."

He suddenly woke up.

Don't let the Eighth Route Army approach...
otherwise··
The old devil Yamazaki is very powerful. This group of Eighth Route Army is all ruthless people. Although the bayonet battle is a little worse than the imperial warriors, but the number of them is several times that of the empire. If they are approached by them, then all of his brigade must be explained here... ·

At that time, don't say that the center is blooming, I am afraid that his flower will be cut off before it blooms.

"fire····"

He drew his katana and howled, ordering the artillery to fire.

boom boom boom

On the rear position of the Guan family, grenade grenades and 75 mountain guns fired dozens of shells into the trenches in the distance, but the grenade grenades were too weak to cause any damage unless they hit the trench directly.Mountain cannons are very effective, but there are really not many shells in stock for 75 mountain cannons.

After the gunpowder smoke cleared, except for a few ditches that were blown down by the mountain artillery, the rest of the place was still flung out of the ditches, and the devils could only see the shovels waving...

"idiot!"

"Second Squadron, attack, attack."

The ineffectiveness of the artillery fire made Yamazaki furious, and he continued to howl and order the attack.

His orders were quickly carried out.

On the ground, the four heavy machine guns inside the fort opened fire rattlingly, and more than 100 devils armed with bayonets lined up in skirmish lines, rushing to the distance under the cover of the heavy machine gun firepower net.

However, Li Datuan had already prepared for this move.

As soon as the group of devils came out of the bunker, dozens of light machine guns rushed out from the deep trench in the distance, firing a round of intensive volleys at the devils. By the time the devils reacted with firepower, these light machine gunners would have finished fighting one The magazines hid in the trench, and the artillery company about one kilometer behind also fired according to the pre-order, and dozens of rounds of 82 mortars greeted them.

Without the cover of the solid bunker, facing the intensive firepower of more than 6 machine guns and [-] mortars, more than [-] devils were reimbursed for just one encounter, and the rest of the devils had to retreat to the bunker in a panic.

"how is this possible?"

Ignoring the soldiers around him who hastily retreated to the bunker, Yamazaki was in the civil engineering work, holding up the samurai sword that he forgot to put down, staring blankly at the gunpowder smoke that had not cleared in the distance, and the dozens of newly left imperial soldiers on the ground. The corpse, and several machine gunners who were carried out of the heavy machine gun fortress.

His eyes widened, and his whole body fell into a daze.

From his position, he could see the entire battlefield clearly.So, he just saw clearly.

This new eight-way machine gun pulled out more than fifty Czech machine guns at one time. The curved magazine seems to be able to hold more bullets. The unprecedented fierce firepower completely suppressed the second attack of the skirmish line. In the squadron, the soldiers could only find cover hastily.Those shooters were also all veterans of the battlefield. They shot accurately and moved quickly, leaving grenadiers and heavy machine guns too late to suppress them.

There were also more than 30 mortar shells, although not many, but they were fired quickly and accurately. All the shells hit the formation of the second squadron, causing serious casualties to the second squadron that could not avoid it.This shows that the opponent not only has excellent artillery, but also elite gunners.

In addition, he also noticed that in the thick earthworks that can prevent the bombardment of mountain artillery, and in the machine gun fortress with only one narrow shooting hole that even people cannot pass through, several machine gunners were shot to the head and died.

Although the Eighth Route Army dug in to only a little more than 100 meters away from him, the firing position was almost 300 meters away from his position.From such a long distance, the machine gunner was hit continuously and accurately through the firing holes.This is the top elite shooter.

This group of people, this army, may not be weaker than the elite brigade of the permanent division.

Yamazaki thought subconsciously.

"Your Excellency, what should we do?" asked the staff officer on the side.

Yamazaki did not answer the staff officer's question, but just put down his samurai sword and sat in the civil bunker with a blank expression.

Strong firepower, elite soldiers, proper tactics...
Although Yamazaki is irritable and irritable, he is still very capable to become the team leader. After destroying the opponent's tunneling failure, he clearly knew that their team might not be able to hold on this time...
but.

He suddenly held the samurai sword tightly, his eyes were ferocious.

Even if he died, he would have to pay the price in blood from the Eighth Route Army. If he wanted to kill an imperial warrior, he would have to pay several times the price.

At this time, the trench outside had been dug to a distance of tens of meters, and in the battlefield that suddenly became silent, a tin horn protruded...

"Li Yunlong, head of our independent regiment..."

"Independence Corps?"

Hearing the translator's words, Yamazaki's eyes suddenly widened.

Independence Corps.

That independent regiment that even Lieutenant General Shinozuka had a headache.

The top elite independent regiment of the Eighth Route Army.

No wonder it is so strong.

"Send a report to General Shinozuka..."

Yamazaki suddenly smelled a trace of life.

Although his loss is not small, he still has enough resistance power now. As long as the reinforcements come in time, his brigade can survive. If this is Li Yunlong, with General Xiaozuka's hatred for Li Yunlong, he will definitely order the troops to rush to the rescue. He will definitely be able to mobilize more aircraft support.

The telegraph operator on the side immediately began to send a message.

"Go, go to the forward position."

After the telegraph operator finished sending the telegram, Yamazaki got up and planned to go to the forward position to boost morale.

However, as soon as he stepped out of the bunker, his short and fat figure fell into the center of a crosshair that was magnified eight times...
Snapped····

After a gunshot, the observer Shunzi holding the binoculars exclaimed in surprise:

"Haha, this is the hundredth."

At the same time, Li Yunlong's scolding came from a distance: "Wang Xikui, you son of a bitch, who told you to beat Yamazaki, labor and management have to fight him!"

······
Taiyuan.

"Commander Yamazaki calls urgently."

The staff officer's tone was also hasty.

"read."

Yoshio Shinozuka was in a good mood at this moment.

The Yamazaki Brigade destroyed the arsenal of the Eighth Route Army, attracted the encirclement and suppression of the Eighth Route Army, and built a solid position to withstand waves of attacks. This is a great thing.In the eyes of Yoshio Shinozuka, the Yamazaki Brigade was like a bait, catching the main force of the Eighth Route Army and giving him the opportunity to wipe out the main force of the Eighth Route Army.

As long as the main force of the Eighth Route Army entrenched in Shanxi is completely wiped out, the security problem in the area under the jurisdiction of his First Army can be completely resolved.

For this reason, in the face of Yamazaki's pleading telegram for weapons and ammunition, he deliberately lowered his face and asked for help from the headquarters of the North China Front Army, and dispatched five transport planes to transport supplies for Yamazaki.

"Telegram from Lieutenant Commander Yamazaki: Our brigade has repulsed the enemy's five attacks, but its own strength has suffered a large loss. At present, the enemy Li Yunlong's independent regiment is launching a fierce attack on our position and requests support."

"Li Yunlong?"

Yoshio Shinozuka stood up abruptly.

If it was Li Yunlong, Yamazaki might not last long...
Without any reason, the thought popped into his mind.

No, we have to send troops to support immediately. Regardless of other battlefields, all fighter planes will go to support Yamazaki, and the rest of the support troops must speed up.

However, before Yoshio Shinozuka could act, another urgent telegram flew over.

"Captain Yamazaki is broken, the enemy has already invaded the center of our position, and our troops are currently engaged in a desperate battle with the enemy..."

Yoshio Shinozuka, who hadn't spoken the order yet, fell into a long period of sluggishness.

Is it that fast?

　　I still have 999 points, one point short of redeeming a leave slip...
