Rise from the sword

Chapter 311: Pack of Wolves Hunting ([-])

"Captain, the Eighth Route Army did not catch up."

At a mountain depression, a devil with a shell gun reported to the devil officer at the front of the team.

"idiot···"

Hearing this good news, the devil officer yelled, his chest heaved violently, and his eyes were almost swollen with fire. If he wasn't still marching at high speed, and he didn't bring a samurai sword, he might have slashed randomly. .

Facing the scolding, the devil soldiers around lowered their heads in unison, their faces were full of frustration, and they all hurried on their way in silence.

They knew very well why the captain was so angry.

Those who can participate in the advance team are all elites, the real elite warriors of the Locust Army of the Great Japanese Empire. They have undergone the most rigorous military training and have at least two years of actual combat experience.

And it was this team of fifty elite top imperial warriors who suffered a big loss against a mere company-level unit of the Eighth Route Army in the previous battle.

In just a dozen seconds of firefighting, one of their first advancers was killed and two were injured.

Moreover, it is still under the condition of early preparation.

This is simply a disgrace to the empire. I am afraid that the entire army will laugh at it.

Frustrated, the marching speed of the group also slowed down, and everyone was thinking about the previous battle in their hearts.

Something seemed wrong... Everyone came to a conclusion.

Most of the devils in the advance team had been training and stationed around Beiping before, and they mainly participated in the battle on the front line. Some even came from the mainland and had never fought against the Eighth Route Army guerrillas.

However, according to past experience, the Eighth Route Army is just a group of beggar troops who lack weapons, lack training, and even fight with swords and spears. They are far inferior to the worst third-line divisions, even if some of them are equipped with a certain number of weapons. Most of them are outdated and inferior weapons, such as firearms produced in the last century.

But in the exchange of fire just now, the firepower displayed by the opponent is not inferior to the same size troops of the Imperial Type A Division, except for the lack of grenades. There are ten machine guns in a mere company of more than a hundred people. There were so many of them, and the pistols were also shell guns that could be fired in bursts, and the rest of the guerrillas also carried guns, and the firepower far exceeded their expectations.

It is precisely for this reason that the serious miscalculation of the enemy's firepower led to one death and two injuries to the advancing team in one encounter.

Moreover, the power of the opponent's grenade is ridiculously large, and the killing range is very wide, even more powerful than what they saw on the front line of the Central Army, the All-German Mechanic.In the advancing team, one of the wounded was injured by a grenade.

Although before departure, Yamamoto Dazuo reminded that the weapons and equipment of the Eighth Route Army have been improved recently.

But this is also too much improvement.

"Guerrillas, are they so powerful?"

"Or is it just a special case that we encountered this time?"

A series of doubts appeared in everyone's minds, and they couldn't figure it out.

"Continue to march at full speed."

Seeing the speed of the team gradually slowing down, the leading devil officer shouted sharply.

Immediately, the marching speed of the team became faster. After all, they were a group of elite devils with outstanding physical fitness. Under the night, 49 devils rushed along the mountain road to the distance.

At the front of the line, the devil officer who was hurrying with his head down also felt strange in his heart. What made him feel strange were two things.

First, the unexpected weapons and equipment of the Eighth Route Army.

According to intelligence, this is the new regiment, not Li Yunlong's independent regiment. The head of the regiment is called Ding Wei, but why do they have such powerful light weapons?Almost like an independent group.And judging from the previous battles, the soldiers are also very experienced.

Second, the village that was attacked before seemed to have been prepared for a long time. At the first attack, all the people in the village hid in tunnels or bunkers, and fired signal flares. He had to quickly order to retreat, with little success.

How is this going?

Has the information been leaked?
Or, this is the core area of ​​their base, and they have long been prepared for similar attacks?

Find a village on the edge tomorrow and try it out.

Captain Guizi thought to himself.

And after the devil left for a while, a company of Eighth Route Army troops followed along the mountain road.

······
Same night, around two o'clock in the morning.

Outside the city wall of Shou County, Zhang Dabiao looked up at the towering city wall with deep eyes.Behind him was the first battalion reconnaissance platoon and some elite fighters drawn from the first battalion and the cavalry battalion, totaling more than 60 people.

These 60 people were all in plain clothes, with newly acquired submachine guns hanging on their chests, and spare magazines and grenades on their waists and chests.A few fighters even held grenadiers captured from the devils.

In the case of 60 mortars, the demand for grenades from the independent regiment is very small, which is why he does not want the grenades produced by the headquarters, but this weapon is an excellent close-range support firepower after all. Some of the equipment troops were taken out of the weapons captured by the devils.

After a while, five ropes suddenly hung down from the city wall.

"superior."

Without the slightest surprise or hesitation, Zhang Dabiao gave the order softly with gestures.

In an instant, a battalion of more than 60 soldiers began to climb along the ropes. During this period, the soldiers moved softly and hardly made any loud noises. In less than ten minutes, all the soldiers climbed up the city wall.

The folding stock makes this firearm less susceptible to climbing.

At this time, the city wall was quiet, and the devil watchman on the attic of the city gate in the distance was only looking at the open space in front of the city gate in the distance, dozing off again and again, not paying attention to the situation here.

"Da Biao, are you here too?"

Seeing the person coming, Wang Gensheng, who came to meet him, was surprised.

He didn't expect that Zhang Dabiao would come here. Although the first battalion is responsible for the defense of the base area, unlike the second and third battalions, he went to the new first regiment and the new second regiment to support, but a battalion commander left the army and sneaked into the county to perform tasks. This is true. Incredible.

Moreover, the regiment will besiege Shou County in a few days, so leave the army at this time, okay?
"Hey, what can't I come over?"

Zhang Dabiao waved his hand: "Anyway, there is still the head of the regiment, so it's fine."

Although the first battalion will still need to participate in the siege of Shouxian County, the command can be done by the regiment leader, and there will be no tragic siege battle this time.Whether or not Shou County can be defeated in this battle depends on whether their special team and the people he leads can penetrate the inside of the devil's county. It has nothing to do with the troops outside.

So when Zhang Dabiao applied to enter the county seat, Li Yunlong only hesitated for a while before agreeing.

Although Wang Gensheng's command ability has improved, it is still much worse than Zhang Dabiao. With Zhang Dabiao participating in the command, the probability of success is much higher.

Whether he has confidence in this battle, the answer in Zhang Dabiao's heart at this time is very obvious——

Be confident.

There are only [-] devils in Shou County in total. After so many city walls are allocated, there will not be many devils in the county. The troops he leads this time are not only elite, but also have a new submachine gun.

Zhang Dabiao knew very well that this kind of submachine gun was a weapon for massacres in the city, much better than the little devil's [-]-gun, and sometimes even better than a machine gun.

"Hey, why didn't Sun Desheng come over?"

Looking around, Wang Gensheng asked suspiciously.

The cavalry battalion was dispersed and merged into the second and third battalions. As the battalion commander, Sun Desheng didn't need to follow the command. Naturally, he had nothing to do. He knew the character of that battalion commander Sun very well. He would definitely participate in this kind of battle, and that His hand skills are no worse than his.

"He, he took his three jumpers and went to the headquarters for training."

Zhang Dabiao replied with a smile.

"No wonder."

Wang Gensheng's tone was gloating.

He has a good relationship with Sun Desheng, and he also knows that Sun Desheng is tinkering with learning machinery recently and wants to become a tank soldier. Wang Gensheng is very supportive of this decision of his friend and comrade-in-arms.

Armor is the future of warfare.

And with Boss Chen, there will definitely be tanks in the future.

However, this did not prevent him from gloating at Sun Desheng.

It is extremely difficult to learn to read and read at the political commissar, and to learn mechanical knowledge. It can be foreseen that for a long time, Sun Desheng may be the first and the second.

Thinking of this scene, Wang Gensheng was very happy.

······
It's also tonight.

The base of the new second regiment.

The candidate for the first combat team of the Yamamoto Special Forces, the major officer, also had gloomy eyes.

Compared with the advance team in the base area of ​​the new regiment, he chose to launch the attack in the middle of the night, and the location was also the core area. Taking advantage of the night, he sneaked close to a village, intending to kill all the people in the village.

However, his luck was obviously even worse. Before entering the village, he stepped on a landmine at the entrance of the village, and a devil was killed on the spot.He searched a few rooms, but found no one was found even though the quilts were warm, and then the signal flare went up into the air, and he had to retreat in a hurry with the fruitless team.

Because of his fast speed, he was not chased by the pursuing troops, and there was no battle. However, when leaving the village, a devil soldier stepped on a landmine at the entrance of the village because of carelessness, and was killed on the spot.

In this attack, if one result was not obtained, two team members would be lost.

"idiot···"

"From now on, we can no longer enter the village through the entrance of the village, and the Eighth Route Army here is so cunning that they set up landmines at the entrance of the village, and every household has a cellar to hide in."

Cursing bitterly, he quickly disappeared into the night with the advancing team.

At the same time, he was full of doubts.

In order to guard against the raids of the imperial locust army, it is reasonable to dig tunnels and cellars to hide in the house, but it is unreasonable to set up landmines at the entrance of the village. The locust army has not launched a sweep recently. Why set up mines at the entrance of the village?

Did the news leak out?
Or is this the usual vigilant style of the Eighth Route Army?

Find a village on the edge of the base tomorrow and give it a try.he thought to himself.

······
"Still nothing."

In the base area of ​​Xinyi Regiment, a soldier from a reconnaissance company crawled on the ground and searched for a while, and said helplessly.

Here is a mountain depression, with several mountain roads passing through here, and the surrounding hillsides are also flat, there are many roads to walk, it is not necessary to walk along the mountain roads, and it is almost impossible to chase after there are no traces.

This situation made the surrounding soldiers a little discouraged.

After chasing for most of the night, I didn't even catch up with Guizi Mao. Although I found a bunch of footprints, that's all.

"Forget it, retreat."

Looking at the watch in his hand, and looking at the exhausted soldiers around him, the commander of the reconnaissance company also sighed:

"It's not easy to leave footprints in this weather, and these devils are very careful, leaving almost no traces. It will only be a waste of time to chase them."

At this time, the Jin area was dry and rainless. It hadn't rained for a month, and the ground was dry. Under such circumstances, it was even more difficult to leave footprints, which brought great trouble to the pursuit.

"Take a good rest today. Tomorrow, these devils will definitely make trouble again. Let's continue tomorrow."

Taking a deep breath, the company commander exhaled loudly:
"Tomorrow, we must catch these devils."

"Yes."

The company commander's words lifted everyone's spirits.

The time is still very long, if you fail today, you will find it again tomorrow.

Back at Xinyi Regiment Headquarters, two oil lamps were flickering in the Regiment Headquarters. Ding Wei was lying on the table, with the help of the faint light, looking at the map of the base area and thinking.

"Captain, I didn't catch up with those devils and marched into the team, you..."

Walking into the regiment headquarters, the voice of the commander of the reconnaissance company was full of frustration.

"This is normal."

Ding Wei interrupted the company commander, and he could guess that he was to be punished later. He waved his hand, and he continued to persuade:

"This group of devils came under arrest. Although we have some information about them, it is unrealistic to catch them the first time. After all, these devils are well-trained elites."

"How? These devils?."

Ding Wei asked suddenly.

"Really great."

The commander of the reconnaissance company took a deep breath and said solemnly:
"This group of devils is really powerful. A company of the independent regiment fought against them before. When we met face to face, we suffered a dark loss. That group of devils also took advantage of the interval between troop adjustments and retreated directly. They were not entangled at all. Chance."

"Whether it is the commander or the ghost soldier, they are all masters."

"Facing this group of devils, we... are really close."

In the end he had to admit that the head of the group was telling the truth.

"That's normal."

Ding Wei shook his head:

"The strength gap between us and the little devils is too great. These devils are all professionally trained. It's normal if they can't compare. After all, the reconnaissance company has not even been established for a year."

"Unless we go through intensive combat training like the Special Forces of the Independent Regiment, but we don't have that chance."

"The Special Forces of the Independent Regiment is not..."

The commander of the reconnaissance company suddenly asked.

According to recent news, the base of the special team was bombed by devils and suffered heavy losses, but three devil planes were also shot down.

"Humph."

Ding Wei sneered, but didn't say anything.

The special team was bombed and suffered heavy losses. Can they still shoot down the three planes of the Devils?No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a disadvantage.

"You guys can wait at the edge of the base area tomorrow." Ding Wei finally said: "The little devil suffered a loss in our base area this time, and he will definitely choose to attack in the edge area."
