Rise from the sword

Chapter 207 What happened to the devil?
"kill···"

"Kill it..."

On the broken Cangyun Ridge, more than [-] survivors of the Japanese army team rushed to Zhang Dabiao's position frantically.

Shout the loudest, shout the hardest, and rush the fastest.

Of course, the one who dies is also the fastest.

Not long after rushing out, he was smashed into a sieve by a series of bullets, and fell straight, and the samurai sword fell to the ground casually.

Beside him, the charging devils were like wheat cut by a sickle, and they fell down in pieces by an old farmer.

In the first wave of shelling, more than 20 people including Miyano Doichi were all killed on the spot. The 82kg shells of the 1 mortars are astonishingly powerful, with 40 minute of full-speed artillery coverage, and more than [-] shells, there is no possibility of surviving.

Afterwards, Zhang Dabiao commanded the artillery to shell the Devils convoy, and even sent a platoon of chicken thieves to go around and attack the Devils convoy. Not only did they kill the five devils guarding the convoy, they destroyed the Japanese radio station, and sent the Devils convoy Blow them all up.

When the devils in the garrison convoy saw their chief of staff being shot dead, they went crazy at that moment. They knew that going back would be a suicide, so they rushed up with the troops regardless.

However, in the face of the powerful firepower of the spy company, this group of devils caused so much trouble to Zhang Dabiao. In the end, the heavy casualties made the devils calm down, and the remaining dozen devils fled in desperation.

"Pity."

Zhang Dabiao was full of regrets when he picked up the blown-off general's knife from the ruins.

If the lieutenant general's chief of staff's general's sword hadn't been blown up, it would definitely be a good thing. The regiment leader would definitely like it very much, and he might be able to buy a lot of good cigarettes and wine from him.

"This mission really went smoothly."

Seeing the dozen or so devils fleeing in a hurry in the distance, Wang Gensheng sighed.

In the original plan, they were to ambush the devils on the way, to have a head-to-head confrontation with this convoy, and to kill the old devil Miyano Michiichi with superior force and firepower.

It is expected that this will be an uphill battle.

A reinforced squadron of more than 80 people, two armored vehicles, and a group of elite devil soldiers, the opponent's combat effectiveness is not much worse than that of a spy company.Even with superior artillery fire, it will take about an hour to resolve the battle.

During this period, regiment leader Ding is still needed to lead the team to contain the support of the garrison in Jiao County.

But after the devil came and made a lot of noise, things turned out to be much simpler than expected.

A round of sudden bombardment killed the target, and then the devils charged their prepared positions with a weak force. A full squad of devils was crippled, and only a dozen escaped alive.

If they had known it was going so smoothly, Captain Ding would not have to come. They would definitely lose a lot in a fight with the devils in Jiao County, which is not worth it.

"Our use of intelligence is almost meaningless."

Putting away the broken general's knife, Zhang Dabiao looked thoughtful.

There are many ways to carry out this mission. Before I came here, the regiment thought about dividing the two battalions into companies and first-level units to perform the mission separately, or directly ambush the whole army, but in the end it was decided to ambush the special agent company. It is the safest way to block reinforcements with two long battalions.

Two hundred mules made the independent regiment extra cautious.

"Special Operations..."

Taking one last look at the chief of staff of the Japanese Army's North China Front who had been mixed into the loess, Zhang Dabiao muttered to himself in a low voice.

Vaguely, Zhang Dabiao felt that he seemed to have grasped something, and he had a deeper understanding of this kind of lone army's deep-rooted operations in the enemy's rear, and he also understood why Yamamoto Kazuki only took his lone special agent team to attack Dabiao in the first place. Summer Bay.

"Let's go."

With a wave of his hand, Zhang Dabiao drove towards Yangcun with the spy company.

"You actually took this back?"

On the way, Wang Gensheng looked at the broken general officer's knife on Zhang Dabiao's waist.

"This must be brought back. After all, it's a general officer's sword. We haven't got this thing before. This is the first time."

Zhang Dabiao slapped the broken knife.

"If you give this to the team leader, he will definitely call you a prodigal." Wang Gen analyzed physiologically: "Don't call it cigarettes at that time, you might get beaten."

Zhang Dabiao's face froze immediately.

With the temper of his team leader, this is really possible.

······
Chi Yang.

Inside the Temporary Headquarters of the First Army.

"Lost contact with Chief of Staff Miyano?"

Shinozuka Yoshio looked at a report staff officer, and his tone was full of doubts: "What's going on?"

"Chief of Staff Miyano sent back a telegram about the observation group and Li Yunlong, but..."

The staff officer was also very puzzled: "The transmission of the telegram stopped halfway through. Afterwards, we waited for more than ten minutes and made active contact, but no response was received."

"What did the first half of the telegram say?"

Yoshio Shinozuka asked.

"Let you and Mr. Yamamoto find Li Yunlong and kill him. There are still others who have not been received." The staff officer replied.

"Continue to take the initiative to contact and let me know as soon as you have a reply."

Shinozuka Yoshio didn't take this matter to heart again.

It's just that the radio station is out of contact. It's a very common thing. The quality of the radio stations produced by the empire is worse than that of Europe and the United States. It often breaks down. Don't be nervous. It doesn't take long to repair it, or replace it with another station.

When the chief of staff travels, he will definitely not only carry a transmitter.

"Has Mr. Yamamoto made contact?"

Shinozuka Yoshio rubbed his head.

Hearing Li Yunlong's name, his head hurt again.

"Contacted."

The staff officer paused for a moment, and then responded in a low voice: "The first combat team of Yamamoto's secret service team encountered an ambush, and the losses were relatively large. Only three people survived."

Shinozuka Yoshio frowned: "What's the specific situation?"

What's going on with this ambush?

Didn't it mean to covertly intersperse to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army?How could there be an ambush?Could it be that like the last time, they bumped into the station of a regiment of the Eighth Route Army?

"The Eighth Route Army set up a security force on the cliff, and Colonel Yamamoto's First Combat Team ambushed in the middle."

The staff officer explained: "Originally, General Yamamoto planned to lead the second combat team to move forward, but after learning that the observation group was attacked, he led the team to retreat. He is currently heading to Huting stronghold."

Although Kazuki Yamamoto failed, he still told Yoshio Shinozuka the truth.

"Let him come back."

The corners of his eyes twitched, Shinozuka Yoshio's tone was full of helplessness.

Combat always makes him feel weird, always bumping into other people's arms, exchanging the elite warriors of the empire and the Eighth Route Army for casualties, the training cost of each member of the secret service team
Comparable to an elite armored soldier.

One to fifty is also a loss.

"Hi."

The staff officer bowed his head in response.

Before the staff officer left, a staff officer ran over with a flustered tone: "Your Excellency Lieutenant General, please report to the county that Chief of Staff Miyano was attacked by guerrillas, and..."

Before the staff officer could finish speaking, Shinozuka Yoshio stood up abruptly, his eyes widened:
"Your Excellency the Chief of Staff was attacked?"

"How is it now?"

"Is the Chief of Staff safe?"

Recalling the missing telegram before, Yoshio Shinozuka followed up with a series of inquiries.

"It's not clear yet."

The staff officer replied: "The Jiaoxian garrison sent troops to support immediately after receiving the telegram, but encountered a surprise attack by about one regiment of the Eighth Route Army outside the city. It took an hour for the county troops to break through their blockade and they have not yet arrived at the chief of staff."

Miyano Michiichi died too quickly, and Zhang Dabiao sent people to attack the devil convoy, so the Japanese army did not send out a specific telegram. It's already cold.

"Ambush by a regiment of Eighth Route Army troops outside Jiao County?"

Shinozuka Yoshio suddenly felt bad.

Jiao County is inside the imperial occupation area, and it is nearly 100 miles away from the base of the Eighth Route Army in a straight line. How could there be a regiment of the Eighth Route Army here?How did they get here?
And this regiment is obviously specially used to stop the reinforcements from Jiao County.

The other party can mobilize a regiment of troops to stop Jiao County, so the chief of staff may be...
The intuition from the soldier made Yoshio Shinozuka feel that something was wrong.

"Order····"

Subconsciously, he planned to issue an order, but when he saw the positions of Jiao County and the Chief of Staff, Yoshio Shinozuka froze.All his current troops are on the front line, near Jiao County, and there is no one to move.

"Inform Command immediately."

The helpless Yoshio Shinozuka could only send the telegram to the headquarters of the North China Front Army.

Then, he turned around and looked at the map behind him, with a murderous look: "That Eighth Route Army regiment retreated from there?"

"Yangquan direction."

The staff responded quickly.

"Let Yangquan's 33rd Regiment and Xiyang's Ida Brigade set out immediately to intercept this group of Eighth Route Army, and they must be wiped out." Shinozuka Yoshio slapped the table: "Order Taiyuan's Flying Brigade to take off immediately and look for this group of Eighth Route Army. "

"Hi."

The staff immediately went to issue orders.

Afterwards, Shinozuka Yoshio sat limply on the chair, trembling uncontrollably.

If something happens to the chief of staff, plus the matter of the observation group, then his position as the commander of the First Army may be...
But what was he afraid of? At this time, the third staff officer ran over again. He was holding the latest telegram of the Jiaoxian garrison in his hand.

Following Yoshio Shinozuka's order, and after the North China Front Army learned the news, the whole of Shanxi fell into chaos, and more than 1 troops assembled and headed towards Jiaoxian County.

····
In a forest north of Jiao County, Ding Wei counted the troops.

In the short one-hour battle with the devils, he sacrificed more than 70 people and injured more than 50 people. The total casualties were more than 120 people. The total strength of the two battalions was only nearly [-] people. .

One hour, with such casualties, can be called horror.

However, at this time, this army, which suffered one-tenth of the casualties in an hour, was all high-spirited at this time, and even the wounded were radiant without any depression.

"Haha, this battle is really exciting."

A company commander with gauze tied on his head shook his fist fiercely.

"Devils are nothing more than that."

"Young devils can't do it either."

"..."

The rest of the soldiers shouted.

Ding Wei couldn't help but smile too.

In the previous battle, the devils were eager to support the chief of staff who was ambushed. As soon as they came up, they launched a group charge. A full brigade and a full brigade, a total of [-] devils rushed up, and the artillery fired at full speed, which was rare. It entered a tragic white heat.

However, with sufficient weapons and ammunition, the two battalions, which were no longer restricted by firing orders, displayed terrifying combat effectiveness. Coupled with artillery support, they forcibly repelled the devil's two consecutive group charges.

In terms of casualties, the devils eager to attack are probably about twice as many as him.

No matter how you say it, it's not a loss.

Anyway, the ammunition consumed was replenished by Li Yunlong.

And after this battle, this army is probably even worse than before.

In a high-intensity battle, the training of the troops is dozens of times more efficient than training.

"Let's go back to the base."

With a wave of his hand, Ding Wei led the troops to a turning point, deviated from the previous marching direction, and walked towards the base.

······
Compared with the panic of the devils, the Eighth Route Army is also somewhat similar.

However, here is the confusion.

"First, 1 troops rushed to the Huting stronghold, and then more than [-] troops gathered in Jiao County."

"What the hell is the little devil doing?"

Staff Officer Luo and Staff Officer Mo, who had just arrived at the brigade headquarters, scolded their mothers collectively.

The two were still wondering why the devils stopped attacking. The follow-up plan had been arranged. After the devils came in, they would wait for a while before gathering troops to kill him and one or two troops of the devils so that they could learn some lessons.

As a result, the devil suddenly retreated when he was about to break through the position.

Then there was news from Yangquan, Shijiazhuang, and Xiyang that the devils were mobilized, and more than 1 devils rushed towards Jiaoxian County. I don't know why.

"Jiao County."

Pointing to the map on the table, Staff Officer Luo tapped heavily with his fingers: "The Huting stronghold may be the work of Li Yunlong, but isn't Jiao County occupied by the devils? What can happen here?"

Although Jiaoxian County had nothing to do with their base area, they had to figure out the reason for the [-]-strong army of the devils to dispatch with great fanfare.

At least you have to know whether you should be happy, worried, or watching a show on your side.

"I've sent someone to investigate."

Staff Officer Mo from the headquarters looked at the map on the table: "There should be results soon."

Staff Officer Mo also sighed.

The devils had a good siege, why did they suddenly develop into this way? Although things seemed to be developing for the better, this inexplicable change always made people panic.

"Should I wait for the result here, or..."

Staff Officer Luo asked.

The arrival of Staff Officer Mo interrupted the brigade commander's plan to go to the independent regiment's position.But now Li Yunlong has gone back to Yangcun, and Zhao Gang has also returned to Yangcun with his troops, and because of the battle, the brigade headquarters and the other side can't communicate on the phone for the time being.

Staff Officer Mo smiled: "Boss asked me to see what Li Yunlong did, let's go and see together."

　The typo will be corrected tomorrow...
