Rise from the sword

Chapter 378 Finally found you.

"The devils are still ten miles away from here. The force is about one brigade, about 550 devils, and about 70 puppet troops. These devils don't have any heavy weapons. They only carry three [-]mm mortars and four heavy machine guns. A Type [-] infantry artillery."

Xinzhuang, Wang Gensheng brought news of the devil.

As the battalion commander, Zhang Dabiao couldn't follow Li Yunlong personally, but in order to ensure the safety of the regimental commander's political commissar, he put all his brains into the company where Li Dawei was located. He originally planned to stuff all the special teams into it.

But then Captain Li frowned, and only stuffed in the special team including Wang Gensheng, and followed the company where the regiment headquarters was located.

At this time, Wang Gensheng personally led the investigation. As a veteran of the investigation for many years, as soon as he made a move, he got back an extremely detailed situation of the devil's mopping up brigade, including the number of people and weapons.

Hearing this news, the 120 people in the whole company were not at all nervous, and even a little impatient.

"70 mortar?"

Carefully took out the good cigarette that he got from the boss from his pocket, lit it, stuffed it into his mouth, took a sip, and swallowed the smoke, Li Datuan curled his lips in disdain:

"This thing, can it also be called a mortar?"

After fighting the little devil for so long, the independent regiment has become familiar with the little devil's weapons, ranging from the small 50 caliber grenadier to the large 240 super-heavy howitzer.

At the beginning of the war, the little devils were rarely equipped with mortars. After all, the Type 70 infantry guns could shoot directly and curved at a large angle. Small-caliber mortars. At that time, the devils were not interested in mortars. The only kind similar to mortars was this [-] mortar.

In Li Datuan's mind, this 70mm mortar is the most stupid weapon for a kid. It has an old-fashioned design, poor shooting range, low power, heavy weight, and poor mobility. It is simply rubbish.

However, after several years of fighting and being taught a lesson by the country, the devils also began to replace mortars. 90 caliber, the power is quite good, and it can also launch poison gas bombs.

"It seems that the ghost brigade chasing us is a second-tier brigade, and it's a relatively poor one."

Commissar Zhao's tone was very relaxed.

According to the information given by Boss Chen during several missions, the devils equipped with this kind of 70-caliber mortars are relatively inferior in the second-line brigade.

Although they only had 120 people, they were one battalion and one company here. In the independent regiment system, one battalion and one company represented the most elite company in the whole regiment, let alone half a special team.

Moreover, the weapons and ammunition are sufficient, the food is sufficient, and the morale is strong. After a period of repairs, the soldiers' physical strength has also recovered. Relying on this village position, it is still very easy to deal with a second-line devil brigade.

"Leader, do you want me to take the brothers around and fight later, and take the little devil's headquarters directly?"

Wang Gensheng was eager to try.

He has been the captain of the special team for more than a year. Although Zhang Dabiao is mainly in charge of commanding, after so long, he has also mastered some special operations concepts that the team leader picked up from Boss Chen.

In the frontline operations of special teams, they mainly engage in infiltration and attack key targets, such as the headquarters.

He also thought about the previous Shou County defense battle, but there was really no way. The [-] devils were fighting against the independent regiment. He couldn't possibly have the chance to infiltrate it. Now that he finally had the chance, Wang Gensheng couldn't wait.

"you're so dumb?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as he said it, Captain Li slapped him with a slap:

"Now in this plain, there are at least ten thousand devils. If you kill the captain of the devils here, the devils will know that our side is the main force. When the time comes, five or six devils will rush over in a swarm, and we will be dumped. ?”

Leader Li is very clear about how much the devil's commander, Yoshio Shinozuka, intends to kill him. Once the news spreads, with the attitude that he would rather kill by mistake than let it go, there must be five or six devils in the brigade. flocked.

"Then why don't I kill the radio station together?"

Wang Gensheng rolled his eyes again.

"No."

Unexpectedly, Captain Li still refused: "We don't have much capital this time, so don't force it."

"Ok."

Helpless, Wang Gensheng could only sigh.

While the two were chatting, after a while, Captain Li, holding a binoculars, had already seen the devil troops rushing towards him in the distance. In this open plain area, the field of vision could be seen several miles away.

The little devil obviously didn't know that there would be someone here, and he swaggered towards him.

"Hey hey..."

Looking back at Wang Gensheng who was full of displeasure, Captain Li suddenly smiled, then lowered his voice and said to Wang Gensheng:
"When we retreat at night, I will take the little devil's headquarters by the way."

"Yes."

Immediately, Wang Gensheng became energetic.

Political commissar Zhao glanced at the two of them, did not speak, but continued to wipe the sniper rifle in his hand.

After being excited for a while, Wang Gensheng suddenly thought of something. He went to the village, found a team member, and whispered something in his ear. After that, the team member disappeared outside Xinzhuang Village and ran towards Zhao Jiayu.

······
Close to Xinzhuang was a new devil brigade, which was not among the five regiments commanded by Yoshio Shinozuka.

This group of devils came from the original county town of Fuzhou. After approaching Xinzhuang, they did a long-distance investigation and muttered a few words with a telescope. Then a team of more than 40 devils and more than 30 puppet troops He rushed in swaggeringly.

Their goal is to clean up the common people that may remain inside.

Village entrance.

Li Yunlong set up a forward position here. With the help of broken and collapsed houses, the position is very hidden, and it is impossible to find it without approaching. At this time, Li Datuan led half of the soldiers and waited for the devils at the village entrance.

Looking at Lao Zhao who was holding a sniper rifle beside him, Li Yunlong also felt itchy. He took a Mauser rifle from a soldier beside him, raised the gauge, loaded the bullet, and aimed at the leader of the Devil squad who was already 400 meters away from the entrance of the village. .

"The leader of this devil squad belongs to me, and you are not allowed to rob me."

Leader Li's tone was very arrogant.

In terms of marksmanship, he is not bad either.

On the side, Zhao Gang curled his lips, he was too lazy to talk to this guy, he turned his gun slightly, and moved away from the head of the devil squad leader, Wang Xikui who was not far away also shrank his neck, and also quietly turned his gun.

Although the devils maintained their position, the formation showed a skirmish line, but their speed was very slow and their posture was very leisurely. It took a full minute for the forward to reach the position 1 meters outside the position, reaching the distance to fire.

"hit··"·

With a loud shout, Captain Li pulled the trigger in his hand at the same time.

Snapped···

There was a gunshot, and about 200 meters away, a bullet hole appeared in the forehead of the squad leader in the back section of the devil's team, and he fell straight from his horse with his head on the ground.

"Hey hey..."

A shot hit the devil's head, and Li Datuan suddenly laughed triumphantly.

The rest of the people also opened fire immediately. Half of the troops were on the forward position, that is, 60 people, six machine guns, more than a dozen submachine guns, more than 40 rifles, and two sniper rifles - Wang Xikui and Zhao Gang.

A dense firepower net sprinkled on the devil squad.

The little devil also showed the qualities he should have. Even if the commander was killed, he spread out in an orderly manner, quickly spread out, looked for cover on the spot, the machine gunner suppressed fire, and the grenadier was ready to counterattack.

On the other hand, the second devil, facing this kind of terrifying firepower for the first time, was in a mess, like a swarm of flies, and was really licked by the devil a lot.

Faced with the dense firepower and precise shooting in the open field, the devils' proficiency should not make much sense. The grenadiers and machine gunners were accurately killed at the beginning. After only a few minutes, dozens of devils and puppet troops were left. A dozen or so ran back.

It was found that there were people in the village, and their strength was not weak - after all, a small team, although not full of size, was more than 40 people, and it was almost completely wiped out in a few minutes. Obviously, the strength on the other side was very strong, at least a regiment of the Eighth Route Army.

Obviously, it was the first time this group of devils had encountered the Independent Regiment.

After finding out the strength of the troops in the village, the little devil didn't dare to be careless. He immediately opened the old-fashioned mortars and started bombarding them. Originally, the cannons were placed directly outside the village entrance. After the political commissar and Wang Xikui killed a few artillery devils, they had to retreat a few hundred meters and shelled one kilometer away.

After a crackling bombardment, looking at the villages billowing in smoke in the distance, the captain of the devils brandished a katana, and once again let a squadron plus more than 100 puppet troops pounce on it.

As the devils entered the village, dense gunshots and explosions sounded again in the village. Outside the village, the captain of the devil brigade confidently discussed with the accompanying second devil leader how long it would take to resolve the battle and drive the group of Eighth Route Army out.

How can a mere regiment in this kind of village withstand the attack of a full squadron of the imperial army?

However, about twenty minutes later, the two saw about a hundred imperial soldiers and two devils running out of the village in a hurry. In half an hour, nearly a hundred more were lost?

At this moment, the captain of the devil group outside also realized that something was wrong, and organized the shelling again, and even the [-]-type was pulled out to participate in the shelling.

After the bombardment, the devils from two squadrons, more than 100 puppet troops, totaling more than 400 people, launched an attack on the village again, and even the Type 100 followed suit, but again unexpectedly, it was still less than half an hour later. After being driven out, the returning troops were again less than [-] people.

Even the Type [-] infantry gun was damaged—the gun mantlet was punched with several large bullet holes, and the gunner was killed.

"idiot···"

The captain of the devil brigade turned pale with fright:
"This, is it really Tubalu?"

Looking at the squadron leader who was carried out - dead, with a bullet hole in his forehead, looking at the six bullet holes in the mantlet of the Type [-] infantry gun - directly penetrated the steel plate, and even damaged the gun Seat, the captain of the devil brigade can't speak fluently.

Beside him, the Erguizi's head and tongue were also curled up, and he faltered and didn't say a word.

It was the first time they saw such a ferocious Eighth Route Army, and they didn't know how to express their feelings for a while.

"Tai...Jun, we...how about..."

The second devil was overwhelmed, thinking of calling for support.

How long have you been fighting?He lost half of a regiment, and if he rushed forward, he might be wiped out by the entire army.

This village is simply a bottomless pit.

The devil's captain was extremely reluctant to call for support, but when the casualties were counted—three attacks, 160 and seven of his brigade were killed, and more than 70 people were injured, his complexion changed drastically.

His brigade had lost more than one-third. Judging from the casualty ratio, the Eighth Route Army inside was extremely powerful. Not only were they fiercely fired, but they were all elite shooters. As long as they were shot, they would be fatal.

There are also landmines. The Eighth Route Army planted a large number of mines, and the location was unexpected, making it hard to guard against.

"Telegram the commander of the regiment, our unit was blocked by a large group of enemy troops in Xinzhuang. The exact number of the enemy is currently unknown, but it is suspected to be a main force of the Eighth Route Army. Request tactical guidance."

Gritting his teeth, the captain of the Devils sent a telegram for help. After that, he ordered the troops to establish a defense line on the spot and surrounded the village with four heavy machine guns as the mainstay of firepower.

At this time, a devil intelligence officer of the First Army who was accompanying him found Huadian in the bullet hole on the Type [-] infantry gun, a bullet embedded in the gun mount. Suddenly, the devil's eyes lit up, and he also sent a bullet to the rear. telegram.

···
Inside Xinzhuang.

Li Yunlong looked at the ghosts outside, then at the dark sky above his head, and said:

"It seems that the little devil is not going to attack tonight."

Leader Li's tone was relaxed.

In the three blocking battles, the casualties of the first battalion and the first company were extremely small, and the consumption of ammunition was not much. Today, the combat effectiveness is still very strong.

"Let the soldiers rest for another three hours. We will retreat at night and pay attention to arrange security."

He continued.

Leader Li used retreat instead of breakout.

Zhao Gang also nodded.

Their main purpose this time is to repair, and then prepare to march at night. The nighttime concealment is high and it is not easy to be discovered by devils.Although they fought all day during the day, the soldiers were actually not tired, and even relaxed. The devils here are really not good at fighting.

"Damn..."

Beside Li Yunlong, the monk was full of displeasure.

In the last battle, he sneaked into the devil's Type [-]. He planned to kill the cannon, but the little devil dragged the cannon and ran away.

····
Seven o'clock at night.

The headquarters where Shinozuka Yoshio is.

Kazuki Yamamoto received a telegram from the front.

"Large caliber pistol bullets?"

"Yo Xi."

"Li Yunlong, I finally found you."

Kazuki Yamamoto's eyes lit up.

According to intelligence, Li Yunlong's guards used a 12.7 caliber pistol, which was so powerful that it could penetrate a steel plate after one centimeter.

After packing up the information, he walked to Yoshio Shinozuka's headquarters.

Just a few minutes later, several telegrams were sent from the headquarters, and half an hour later, the devil soldiers from the four brigades gathered towards Li Yunlong's location.

·····
It's about the same time.

Zhao Jiayu.

The transport team has arrived, and hundreds of big mules have brought a large amount of food and supplies. Before that, Yansheng's accompanying artillery company had also arrived. After they bombarded Taiyuan Airport, they made a detour from Taiyuan to Zhaojiayu.

"Captain Huang."

Seeing Huang Baowang, Yansheng's eyes lit up: "I've been waiting for you all the time!"

"wait for me?"

Huang Baowang was taken aback.

What he carried this time was mainly food, but no shells.

Moreover, most of the artillery shells in the regiment have been consumed in the battle of Shou County. Except for the last bit of shells in the secret ammunition depot near Xujia Village, the 82 mortar shells are almost exhausted, and some The 120 mortar shells were transported to Zhao Jiayu in advance for storage.

After deciding to consume devils in Shou County, the independent regiment transportation team transported supplies here, but because of the long distance, separated by the Great Plains, and the transportation force had to be transferred to other places, only part of the heavy artillery shells were transported.

"Correct."

Yansheng continued:

"You transport team to bring the remaining 120 heavy artillery shells. There are still [-] rounds here. Let's go to meet the regiment leader. Now that the troops are retreating, in the Great Plains, the little devils will definitely target the regiment leader. We have to go to meet them. .”

"Do you know the location?"

Huang Baowang was taken aback.

He also wanted to meet the head of the regiment, but the troops scattered to break through.

"I know."

After Wang Gensheng was slapped by Li Yunlong, he also realized that the head of the regiment was the main target of the devils, so he sent a team member to pass the news here.

　I will write more in the next chapter at six or seven in the morning.
