Rise from the sword

Chapter 206 Do it again in place.

After four or ten minutes of rapid marching in the mountains, Zhang Dabiao brought the spy company to the vicinity of Cangyunling.

At this time, eleven months have passed since the battle of the Xinyi Regiment in Cangyunling, but there are still traces of the original war, bomb craters, trenches, machine gun positions, individual bunkers, and most of the traffic trenches have collapsed. But the whole is still clearly visible.

In less than a year, the traces of the war have not been completely erased.

Looking at the familiar bunkers in front of him, an inexplicable feeling emerged from Zhang Dabiao's heart.

To him, the Battle of Cangyun Ridge was just an inconspicuous battle in his more than ten years of war career. It was inconspicuous in scale, and the process was not very dangerous. big.

Fighting Li Yunlong in the Xinyi Regiment for more than a year, they killed many devils.

However, what makes Cang Yunling special to him is that the big boss, Chen Fan, they met here for the first time, and Sakata was also the beginning of their first business. Since then, they have grown rapidly, and now he alone A battalion under Zhang Dabiao, without relying on position and geographical advantages, can open up a stance with a brigade of devils for a head-to-head confrontation.

This was unimaginable before.

The fully independent regiment can even challenge the devils to a full formation.

Wang Gensheng, who arrived ahead of schedule, has completed a comprehensive investigation of Cangyunling. He reported to Zhang Dabiao: "I went to the peak to check, and there is no trace of the Devils convoy on the road."

Zhang Dabiao nodded, looked at the pocket watch in his hand, and said calmly: "According to the speed of the devil convoy, we should be here in less than half an hour. Let's wait here."

Afterwards, he looked around the nearby positions and frowned: "However, this place is really not easy to ambush."

Cangyun Ridge belongs to the high-slope terrain, suitable for occupying the commanding heights for defense, but it is almost impossible for the troops to hide in an ambush. Although there is the original position, the devils can find the ambush after a little investigation, and there is not enough time for them to expand the ambush position. .

Once the devils find out that there is an ambush, this group of devils will definitely turn around and leave.

Wang Gensheng spread out the map, looked at the surrounding terrain, and scratched his head: "There are flat slopes on both sides of the nearby road, which is not suitable for ambushes. Unfortunately, there is not enough time to plant bombs on the road."

Otherwise, bury some explosives on the road, bundle dozens of large tumors or shells together, and blow up all armored vehicles to pieces.

However, this trick also has certain requirements on the terrain. The Devils convoy is fast, and the requirements for detonation are relatively high. People must be nearby and use ropes to pull the detonation to ensure the effect.

Zhang Dabiao looked at the surrounding terrain again. When he saw the dirt slope in the distance, which was the place where the pillar shot and killed Sakata, and then looked at the new formation after the breakthrough, his eyes immediately showed thoughtfulness.

"Tell me." Zhang Dabiao said, "If that old devil Miyano Michiichi came, where would he go immediately?"

"It goes without saying."

Wang Gensheng replied without hesitation: "It must have been to Sakata's headquarters back then. Back then we even took away the body of little devil Sakata, and he didn't even have a place to sweep his grave."

"Correct."

Zhang Dabiao nodded, and his tone was affirmative: "The little devil will definitely go to the Sakata headquarters first, then, we will bombard them again according to the tactics of a year ago."

He pointed to the breakthrough in the distance, where Wang Chengzhu became famous in the first battle: "Let's let the artillery unit lurk behind the slope over there. Now there are two 82 mortars, and they are much more powerful than before. Wait for the devil convoy Here we come, hehehe..."

"Let's send this old devil and his beloved general Sakata to go to the west together in one place, and have a companion on the way to Huangquan."

"That's a good idea."

Wang Gensheng's eyes lit up.

"Walk."

Just do it, Zhang Dabiao immediately led the spy company to the slope.

"That's right here, the artillery will hide here later."

Standing on the soil slope, stepping on the position where the mortar was placed on the pillar, looking at the bottom of the slope behind him, Zhang Dabiao spoke with satisfaction.

Although this place was not concealed enough for a spy company, it was easy to ambush two artillery squads, and the distance from the target was only a little more than a kilometer, and the accuracy was guaranteed.

Although there is no top gunner like Zhu Zi, the gunners in the artillery squad brought this time are not bad. Besides, the mortars of the independent regiment are now much more accurate than the ones produced by the government back then, and their power is beyond comparison.

He found the artillery gunner accompanying him, and pointed to the Sakata Command Post, where there were still traces in the distance: "Here, how about shelling that earth depression over there, is it okay?"

The two gunners gave their thumbs up to measure the range for a moment, then nodded, their voices full of confidence:

"Definitely no problem."

What could be wrong with this?
The distance of only [-] kilometers is still fixed-point shelling. As a gunner who has fired more than [-] rounds of live ammunition in half a year, if he still can't hit it, then he doesn't need to be a gunner anymore. Go and fight the bayonet with the devil.

At this time, the soldiers responsible for the investigation in the distance sent a message waving signal flags.

"coming."

Wang Gensheng's tone was full of surprise, and he waved his fist fiercely: "The little devil's convoy is here, and it will arrive in 15 minutes."

"Haha."

Zhang Dabiao was also overjoyed, and the uneasiness in his heart was finally let go. At the beginning, he also had the idea of ​​taking a gamble: "Information is really easy to use. No wonder the little devil likes to send spies so much."

"It's up to you whether we succeed in this mission."

Zhang Dabiao patted the shoulders of the two gunners: "There is still 15 minutes of preparation time. You two should think about it carefully. It is best to kill the devils in the first round of shelling."

"As for the others, let's lurk in the original position. The devil will definitely rush over in a panic later, so we can rely on the original position to fight against them."

"Zhang Battalion Commander, don't worry."

The two gunners patted their chests: "This old devil, we guarantee that the first round of mortar bombing will kill him without leaving any corpses."

Then the two took out the map and coordinate ruler from their carry-on backpacks, and started ranging and positioning.

The gunners who came with the special agent company were the two most elite gunners in the artillery company. They had some cultural background. After more than half a year of training, they were already qualified and excellent gunners, and they were naturally proficient in the basic skills of gunners.

Compared with the thumb distance measurement, the distance measurement is much more accurate on the map that is accurate to the meter level, and there are on-the-spot corrections for errors. The shelling according to the various elements of the artillery table is also much higher than the visual shelling accuracy.

The rest of the artillery fighters also began to dig artillery bunkers.

During the period, other members of the secret service company brought the big mule to the position built by the original new regiment in Cangyunling.

After everything was ready, Wang Gensheng and Zhang Dabiao and two artillery squads were lying on the slope, and the buzzing sound could already be heard.

"You said."

Hearing the sound of the engine getting closer and closer, Zhang Dabiao suddenly said to Wang Gensheng: "If there was no boss Chen Fan, would our regiment leader break through the siege head-on and kill the old devil Sakata?"

"Is there even a need to say that?"

Wang Gensheng didn't even think about it: "Our regiment leader, he was beaten all day, would he turn around and leave without doing anything?"

"Hahaha····"

After speaking, the two laughed at the same time.

"coming."

Following Zhang Dabiao's low voice, the humming engine sound subsided, and a group of devils appeared on the mountain road in the distance, the most conspicuous of which was the bald devil in the middle.

As Zhang Dabiao speculated, this group of people went straight to Sakata's original command post.

"There's still a ghost boss, this time the harvest is not small."

Looking at the wave of devils in the distance with his binoculars held up, Zhang Dabiao licked his lips with a gloomy smile:

"Hey hey..."

"Prepare···"

With his low voice, down the hillside, the gunners of the two 82 mortars took out the shells from the ammunition box and unscrewed the fuze.

·····
Cangyunling, in the ranks of the Japanese army.

Rejecting the personal guard of the guard, Miyano Michiichi insisted on walking in front of the team, and went all the way to the headquarters of Sakata to ambush.

"right here."

The Colonel of the Intelligence Division pointed to a remnant civil bunker nearby.

Judging from the collapsed and decayed wooden beams, it was obvious that the place had been shelled.

"Did Sakata-kun die here?"

Miyano Michiichi's tone was low and sad.

He placed high hopes on Sakata, and originally planned to focus on training. When a new division is formed in the future, he will be promoted to the position of division commander. Even the road has been paved, and Sakata is also very good.

Unexpectedly, in this small Cangyun Ridge...
Fortunately, there is also a Major General Hattori Naotomi, so that he will not have no suitable excellent subordinates.

At this time, no one dared to answer Miyano Michiichi's words, all the devils bowed their heads, looking sad.

Just when he was about to say something, an intelligence staff officer ran over, his footsteps were flustered, and his tone was hasty: "Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, Lieutenant General Shinozuka's urgent call."

"Ok?"

Miyano Michiichi, who was immersed in sadness, frowned, and it was obvious that his dissatisfaction was interrupted:
"read."

Seeing the gloomy face of the chief of staff, the staff officer who came to report swallowed his saliva, feeling very regretful, and his back felt faintly cold.Why did I come here to report this very, very bad information?

Gritting his teeth, the staff officer said in a decisive tone:

"Lieutenant General Shinozuka telegraphed that Major General Hattori and the observation group were ambushed by the Eighth Route Army, and all members died for the country with jade pieces."

"Nani?"

"What did you say?"

Miyano Michiichi's gloomy face suddenly turned pale, and he almost lost his balance.

The other devils also looked at the staff officer with incredulous eyes.

Something happened to the observation group?

And it's all jade fragments?
More than 120 lieutenant officers of the North China Front Army, and a major general, are all broken?
"Hi."

The staff officer lowered his head severely: "The observation group was ambushed by the Eighth Route Army on the highway near the Huting stronghold, and all members died for the country with jade pieces."

"idiot."

Miyano Michiichi finally came to his senses, kicked the staff officer and sent him flying several meters away, then shouted hoarsely: "What's going on? What's going on with Shinozuka Yoshio?"

"Who did it?"

"Kill him for me."

"Who did the security work? Let him commit seppuku."

Miyano Michiichi roared incoherently.

"At present, we only know that the Eighth Route Army did it."

The staff officer stood up with difficulty, bowed his head and replied: "However, Lieutenant General Xiaozuka speculated that it was Li Yunlong who did it. Judging from the traces left on the battlefield, this possibility is very high."

"Li Yunlong."

Taking a deep breath, Miyano Michiichi regained his composure: "The Li Yunlong who killed Chief Sakata here?"

After all, he is a lieutenant general, and it is impossible for a devil who can climb to this position to have a poor heart. He quickly controlled his emotions and suppressed his anger and killing intent in his heart.

"Hi."

The staff officer continued to bow his head and responded: "It is this person."

"Order Lieutenant General Yoshio Shinozuka, and Colonel Yamamoto Kazuki."

Miyano Michi's tone was cold, and he used his full name: "Be sure to kill this person, at all costs, and report to me every month, and I will let the Imperial Intelligence Department cooperate."

"Hi."

The staff officer breathed a sigh of relief.

After speaking, Miyano Michiichi looked at the final command post of Nobutetsu Sakata and the remaining corner of the imperial uniform, and suddenly narrowed his eyes and asked, "Do you know the specific situation at that time?"

"Hi."

The intelligence officer quickly responded:

"I have read the post-event combat investigation report of Sakata United."

"The Eighth Route Army suddenly rushed out of the position and rushed 500 meters into the position with superior forces. Originally, the imperial army had blocked the attack of the Eighth Route Army, but they did not expect that after they occupied the slope over there, they used it as an artillery position to bombard Sakata's command post. "

"As the supervisor of the battle, Sakata went too deep into the front line, so he was bombarded."

After all, he is a person who does intelligence, and his words are very appropriate, trying to beautify the actions of Sakata Shintetsu.

As he spoke, the Chief Intelligence Officer pointed his finger at the far slope.

Before he came, he purposely called up the information about the Cangyun Ridge battle at night, and wrote it down overnight, even the topographical map of the position, so that he could know what happened.

It's just that the intelligence officer just looked over, and saw behind the earth slope in the distance, accompanied by the burst of fire, two black objects suddenly rushed out, followed by two violent roars.

"Bombardment, mortar fire."

"Lie down and hide."

The intelligence chief was stunned, and the captain of the guard in charge of the devil changed his face when he heard the voice.

As a devil who survived on the front line, he was very familiar with the sound of mortars, and he reacted immediately when the sound came into his ears.

It's just too late.

With a distance of [-] kilometers, the reaction time left for the devils was too short. Just as the captain of the devils threw Lieutenant General Miyano Michiichi to the ground, a violent explosion wave spread around them. The Sakata command post ushered in the smoke of gunpowder again.

And this time more violently.

Down the slope in the distance, the gunner watched the explosion in the distance, and the sound was steady.

"Cannonball."

Behind him, the ammunition hand took out the prepared mortar shells from the ammunition box and handed them to the gunner.

boom boom boom

After a full minute of shelling, the original command post in Sakata was almost destroyed, and the dust spread hundreds of meters away to form a yellow cloud. Zhang Dabiao ordered the shelling to stop.

"Should he be dead?"

Wang Gensheng looked up, because they couldn't see the situation in the distance because of the dust.

After a long period of silence, the floating dust dissipated, and everyone saw that the devil guards rushed towards the artillery position as if they had gone mad.

This posture looks like a broken jade charge.

Facing the clamoring devil troops rushing towards him, Zhang Dabiao unhurriedly opened the barrel gun head, stretched out his white teeth, and smiled very happily:
"Hehehe, it seems that the old devil Miyano should be dead, otherwise the little devil wouldn't be so crazy."

Then, his tone changed, full of killing intent:
"Then send them on the road together."
