Rise from the sword

Chapter 200 Surprise on the cliff
"After going up, pass through the enemy's position as quickly as possible, don't shoot unless it is absolutely necessary, and use knives to solve problems."

Under the cliff, Yamamoto looked at a captain officer.

This is the acting leader of his first combat team, and he has only been in office for less than a month.

After the former captain Kazuo Ohno was killed by the special team of the independent regiment led by Zhang Dabiao when he snatched gold, Kazuki Yamamoto was heartbroken for the new first combat team leader of his secret service team.

He has a group of outstanding individual soldiers. Because of the support of Chief of Staff Miyano, the recruitment of new secret service reserve members is also in full swing. They have a certain ability to bear losses, but command talents who can understand his special operations concept, he It was never found.

Not even barely qualified.

Helpless, he just pulled out the general from among the dwarfs, and temporarily found an acting team leader who was barely bad, while training himself, and then commanded himself.

However, after a period of time, after changing several people in a row, he finally found a good seed, that is, the captain in front of him, who has outstanding personal ability and good command ability. powerful.

It is very suitable for the position of the leader of the combat team.

After a period of experience, he is a qualified team leader, second only to Lieutenant Ikeda Hisaichi, and better than those two dead trash.Yamamoto was looking forward to it.

"Hi."

The acting leader of the first combat team responded loudly, and at the same time gave a military salute, and looked at Yamamoto with admiration.

"Go."

Yamamoto pointed to the climbing rope.

At this time, a small part of his first combat team had already climbed the cliff. Generally speaking, the team leader should follow the center of the battle team and command the team to fight at any time.

The new team leader, who had high hopes from Yamamoto, tightened the submachine gun hanging around his neck, ran down the cliff, pulled the rope, and carried a whole body of equipment on his back, climbing up swiftly.

"Send a report to the observation group."

Yamamoto then looked at the radio operator beside him: "The show has begun, let them take their seats."

"Hi···"

As the operator responded, a series of tick-tock telegrams sounded.

After everything was arranged properly, Yamamoto looked confidently at the new group of acting team leaders who quickly climbed up.

In this battle, due to the loss of the Air Force Brigade, the Air Force support capability of the First Army was far inferior to before. In order to ensure the smooth progress of the battle, Lieutenant General Shinozuka deliberately pulled his face down and mobilized a lot of troops from other armies for support.

Coupled with the influence of Chief of Staff Miyano, the offensive force was even more sufficient than the previous sweep.

Such a huge force will inevitably lead to a large number of loopholes in the Eighth Route Army's defensive position. For example, on this cliff, the opponent did not send troops to guard at all. He has observed this before, and there are indeed no soldiers on guard at the edge of the cliff.

This time.

His secret service team must be able to easily penetrate the positions of the Eighth Route Army, go straight to its headquarters command post, and launch a standard, classic special operation to destroy its headquarters organs in one fell swoop, eliminate its supreme command, solve the security problem in North China, and serve Provide guidance for tactical innovation in the entire North China region.

For this battle, he has sufficient preparations, no matter what happens, it will not affect his plan.

at this time.

on the cliff

A platoon of the third battalion and a platoon of the cavalry battalion were in charge of guarding the cliff, with a total of 43 people, equipped with four machine guns, twenty shell guns, and seventeen Mauser rifles.

At this time, the two platoon leaders were staring at the distant cliff in a daze. Beside them, four Bren machine guns were pointed straight at the direction of the cliff.

"Is it meaningful for us to guard here?"

The platoon leader of the third battalion remained skeptical.

The cliff here is different from that in Yangcun. The slope is not as steep as in Yangcun. There are many branches and vines growing on the cliff, making it easier to climb, but it is higher than the cliff behind Yangcun, about twenty meters high.There is a pile of rocks on the edge of the cliff, the terrain is relatively complicated, it is not suitable for setting up a defensive position, and the line of sight is narrow and limited, so the two set up the position 70 meters away from the cliff and dig a civil bunker.

The bunker is a standard two trenches, one bright and one dark, which came from Li Yunlong's design.

The open position is only slightly hidden, and it is easy to spot at close range. The armed forces are exposed and the observation field of view is wide, while the dark position is hidden and cannot be directly observed. Can form crossfire.

Of course, more than a dozen warning mines were also buried on the edge of the cliff.

Under the strict requirements of Li Datuan, almost all the officers of the independent regiment are proficient in this skill. After all, the German-made big tumor grenade is very powerful, and it is very simple to transform it into a landmine, and it is also very simple to reinstall it afterwards.

People will be careless and distracted, but mines will not.

"The offensive of the devils on the front line was so fierce, and we two stayed here in a daze."

The platoon leader of the cavalry battalion also sighed:

"Hey, this battle was fought..."

Both of them were veteran officers, and they could hear the intensity of the battle from the voices on the front line. With such violent grenadier fire and the sound of Devil's machine guns, it was not difficult to guess that the front line was an unprecedentedly fierce and brutal battle.

Presumably after this battle, many people will never see each other again.

The comrades in arms were desperately trying their best, and they were in a daze here, which made them very uncomfortable.

boom boom boom

Suddenly, the artillery fire in the distance suddenly became violent, and the sound of explosions sounded like rain. The two platoon leaders moved their ears and turned their heads in unison, looking at the direction of the main position at the same time.

"This is the devil's mountain cannon."

One of the platoon leaders said.

They were so familiar with this sound, every time they fought with the devils, the sound almost kept ringing, and many were bombed, and they could tell it was just the mountain cannons of the devils from a long distance away.

"The devil is crazy..."

The dense explosion made the expressions of the two platoon leaders solemn.

They knew that there were more than 500 devils in the opposite position, more troops than the Independence Regiment, and there was an artillery squadron supporting them in the rear, and the artillery firepower was stronger than that of the Independence Regiment.

After all, the current artillery strength of the independent regiment is only the firepower companies of each battalion and two [-]-type infantry artillery.

The artillery of a squadron of Devils made such intensive noises, which showed that the Devils had gone crazy and were conducting a group charge.

The two of them knew very well how terrifying the fighting power of a crazy devil was.

"Get ready."

The platoon leader of the third battalion said: "Maybe the front will call us to join the battle."

Weakness in strength, disadvantage in artillery fire, facing the crazy charge of the devils, the independent regiment must go all out to block the attack of the devils, otherwise even if they block, the troops will not be able to face the next attack due to heavy losses.

"Platoon leader."

The machine gunner on the side suddenly said, "I don't think the political commissar will transfer us."

While speaking, the machine gunner kept his gaze fixed on the distant cliff without taking his eyes off it.

"Ok?"

The two platoon leaders looked puzzled and looked at the veteran machine gunner at the same time.

"Our independent regiment is on the cliff, but we have learned a lesson in blood."

The voice of the machine gunner who came all the way from Kong Jie's time was low.

"The Yamamoto Special Forces..."

The two platoon leaders also thought of the cemetery behind the cliff in Yangcun.

Although both of them were training officers who came from the brigade headquarters later, they also knew about the bloody defeat at the beginning of the year after coming to the independent regiment. After all, every time the whole regiment trains together, Li Yunlong will bring out the Yamamoto special team Name-calling.

At this time, the leader of the guard platoon rushed over from the front line.

Could it be that the two platoon leaders were looking forward to the security platoon leader who walked in.

Although it is the guard platoon, it actually does the most communication tasks. General combat tasks are communicated by the guard platoon.

The guard platoon leader walked in and said:
"The political commissar asked me to inform you that no matter what happens, you are not allowed to leave the position."

Having stayed with Commander Li for a long time, Zhao Gang always had a feeling of trepidation about acting privately, and knowing that the soldiers brought out by Li Yunlong were a group of militants, he deliberately photographed the guard platoon leader to warn the two platoon leaders.

"Yes."

Although there was some regret in their hearts, the two platoon leaders still responded loudly.

"How is the situation ahead?"

Seeing that the leader of the guard platoon was about to leave, someone asked.

"good."

The guard platoon leader said in a relaxed tone: "The devils are very aggressive, but we are not easy to bully. So far, the first position is still there, and the devils have suffered heavy losses."

"I looked at it before, and there are at least 100 corpses left by the devils on the front line, and our reserve team hasn't been fully recruited yet!"

This attack made the soldiers of the two platoons heave a sigh of relief.

The first position has not been lost, and the reserve team is still fully engaged, which shows that the situation has not reached the most dangerous time.

Just when the guard platoon leader turned around to leave again, suddenly, the machine gunner who spoke just now pointed to the distance, with a puzzled tone: "I think there seems to be movement over there?"

Everyone's eyes followed the machine gunner's fingers, including the guard platoon leader.

"It seems that there is someone over there?"

The guard platoon leader with keen eyesight looked at the looming shadow behind the woods in the distance, and raised the binoculars in his hand.

······
"Leader."

On the edge of the cliff, a ghost soldier from the Yamamoto Special Forces glanced at the position of the independent regiment in the distance. From his perspective, he could clearly see a long trench.

You can even see two extended machine guns.

"At a forward distance of about 70 meters, we found guarding soldiers. The exact number is unknown. Two Czech machine guns can be seen. The estimated number of people is two squads." The ghost reported to the team leader behind him.

"The other party has not found us so far."

"what happened?"

"Why didn't you find it before?"

The new team leader, who has not yet become a full-time member, frowned.

When he was under the cliff before, he organized manpower to observe and investigate behind the cliff. At that time, no abnormalities were found. Why did a warning position suddenly appear?
Although there are only two classes, his team can solve it with a wave of hands, but once they are exposed, half of their mission has failed.

"Their location is very hidden."

Guizibing explained: "Just now we were just observing from a distance, and here is a blind spot."

This ghost soldier was also responsible for the previous investigation, so he knew the whole story very well.

"Can you pass in secret?"

"Yes, there are many rocks around, which can block the other party's sight."

Looking at the position of the independent regiment in the distance with the probe, after thinking for a moment, the temporary team leader quickly made a judgment:
"Pay attention to concealment, we pass quietly, don't attract attention."

Afterwards, he pointed to the devil soldiers behind him: "You occupy a favorable terrain and keep vigilant. If you find something abnormal, you will be killed immediately, and another person will be sent to inform General Yamamoto of the situation."

"Hi."

Several devil soldiers under him quickly started to move.

Five devil soldiers climbed up from the cliff. Because of the cover of surrounding rocks and trees, the soldiers on the independent regiment did not notice them. Several devils leaned against the rock, held their guns, and stared vigilantly through the gaps in the leaves. To the distant position.

It's just that these devils don't know that what they see is only the open position of the independent regiment, and there is another dark position on their side...
