I rise from the sword

Chapter 152

Time flies, and another week passes in a blink of an eye.

In mid-March, the Chinese defenders and the Japanese and puppet troops had been fighting fiercely at Wenshuiguan for nearly half a month.

With the continuous increase of troops invested by both sides, the battle of Wenshuiguan has entered a feverish stage.

Among them, the most important position on the battlefield is the highland hills a few kilometers away from Jiaocheng Mountain in the north of Wenshui Pass.

Jiaocheng Mountain Highland is the commanding height of the entire Wenshuiguan battlefield. The terrain here is peculiar, easy to defend but difficult to attack, and it is also the lifeblood of Wenshuiguan's defense line.

Moreover, unlike other places where the vegetation is sparse, the dense trees on Jiaocheng Mountain can provide cover for the defenders here, greatly reducing the threat of Japanese aviation.

General Fu Yisheng deployed a heavy artillery regiment on Jiaocheng Mountain according to local conditions, and its firepower could cover most of Wenshui Pass.

It can be said that as long as the Jiaochengshan position is not lost, the Chinese defenders can always hold the initiative in this battle.

Of course, General Fu Yisheng knew this, and the former Japanese enemy commander Hirata Kenkichi naturally knew it too.

In order to win the Jiaocheng Mountain position, he invested tens of thousands of troops and fought dozens of battles with the Chinese defenders.

In the meantime, the Japanese army also dispatched dozens of bombers to continuously bomb and bomb the Jiaochengshan position.

However, due to the high mountains and dense forests in Jiaocheng, the national army also took precautions in advance, and from time to time they would burn some damp thatch to create smoke, which hindered the sight of the Japanese aviation soldiers.

As a result, the Japanese aviation achieved little effect except for wasting aerial bombs.

With the passage of time, the Battle of Wenshuiguan has lasted for more than half a month, but it has not achieved results for a long time. This made Yoshio Shinozuka, commander of the Japanese First Army, have some doubts about Hirata Kenkichi's command ability.

Immediately, Yoshio Shinozuka issued an ultimatum to Kenkichi Hirata, if he could not conquer Wenshui Pass within 5 days, then he, the former commander in chief of the enemy, would not do it.

Hirata Ichiro was also a face-saving person. After receiving the order, he immediately sent two independent mixed brigades to Jiaocheng Mountain, plus the strength of two Imperial Association Army Divisions.

However, after a whole day, the Japanese army still failed to conquer Jiaocheng Mountain except for the loss of soldiers and generals.

Hirata Kenkichi couldn't help but flipped the table angrily.

"Baga! Idiots, what a bunch of useless idiots!"

The Chief of Staff Ishihara Dayong next to him glanced at the pen and ink documents scattered on the ground, and comforted him: "Your Excellency, Commander, calm down!"

"Ishihara-kun, Commander Yoshio Shinozuka is extremely dissatisfied with the imperial army's delay in conquering the highlands of Mount Jiaocheng. How can you let me appease my anger?"

Kenkichi Hirata seemed to have found an outlet, and turned his head to glare at his old partner Daiyu Ishihara.

Shi Yuan said bravely: "Actually, it is not difficult to conquer the highland of Jiaocheng Mountain. As long as we remove the artillery of the Chinese army on it, Jiaocheng Mountain and even the entire Wenshui Pass will be destroyed by itself."

Hirata Kenkichi was almost amused by Ishihara Dayu's words, that is, if someone else dared to make Hirata Kenkichi this joke, this old devil would draw his sword immediately.

He suppressed his anger, and said: "Mr. Shi Yuan, why don't I know that as long as the Chinese Army's artillery position on Jiaocheng Mountain is taken down, the entire Wenshui Pass will be destroyed by itself.

But the problem now is that the Jiaocheng Mountains are high and densely forested, and there are woods as cover. The bombers of the Imperial Army cannot accurately and effectively bomb the artillery positions of the Chinese Army.

As for the strong attack, you have seen the effect.

With the threat of heavy artillery from the Chinese army, the imperial army would not attack at all! "

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, of course you know the humble positions you mentioned."

Ishihara Dayong explained: "There is an old saying in China that a stone from another mountain can be used to attack jade. Since neither a strong attack nor the deployment of air forces will work, we might as well change our attack method."

"Another attack method?"

Hirata Kenkichi's eyes lit up: "Ishihara-kun, let's see what you say."

Ishihara Dayong smiled slightly and said: "Since the strong attack will be threatened by the heavy artillery of the Chinese army, we can definitely send a small group of elite troops, pretending to be the lurking Chinese army, and infiltrate Jiaocheng Mountain.

At that time, it will be easy to destroy the heavy artillery positions of the Chinese Army! "

Hirata Kenkichi fell into deep thought, as if thinking about the possibility.

After a while, he frowned and said, "Mr. Shi Yuan, the plan you provided is indeed worth a try, but the question is, where can we find such a small group of elite troops?"

Ishihara Dayong smiled slightly and said, "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, you are such a noble person who forgets things too much. Don't we have such a small group of elite troops around us?"

Hirata Kenkichi reacted: "You mean the Yamamoto Secret Service?"

"Not bad!" Ishihara Dayong nodded.

Kenkichi Hirata frowned: "However, Kazuki Yamamoto's secret service team does not belong to our battle order. I'm afraid he may not obey my orders."

Ishihara Dayong said: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, Kazuki Yamamoto is really proud, but have you forgotten that he asked you to investigate the information about the independent battalion of the Chinese Army?"

"You mean, tell Kazuki Yamamoto that Yang Lin's independent camp is on Jiaocheng Mountain?"

"Yo Xi!"

"Hahaha!!!"

The two old devils coincided with each other, with sinister and cunning smiles on their faces.

……

Let's talk about Yang Lin.

During this period of time, Yang Lin has been conducting assault training for the special forces, and at the same time, equipped the special forces with the most advanced weapons and equipment.

Each team has a sniper, equipped with a Mauser 98k sniper rifle.

In addition, there is also a machine gun team, with a main shooter and a deputy shooter, equipped with a mg-42 general-purpose machine gun.

This machine gun has many epoch-making highlights. For example, it can be fed by a belt, and it can be replaced with a 75-drum drum. It can be used for both left and right sides, and it can be used in combination with two guns (can be used against aircraft).

The main components are easy to install and disassemble, and the operation is simple, and the position can be quickly transferred (the ability of the machine gun to quickly transfer the position is particularly important in actual combat).

The theoretical rate of fire of the gun is 800-900 rounds per minute, and it can reach 1500 rounds per minute at the fastest time, reaching the peak of a single-barreled machine gun. Overheated barrels can be quickly replaced.

The mg42 is a light machine gun when using a bipod, and a heavy machine gun when using a tripod.

When used as a light machine gun, the gun has an effective range of 800 meters; when used as a heavy machine gun, its effective range is 1000 meters.

The gun shined in the European battlefield, known as Hitler's chainsaw!
According to legend, during the Normandy landing battle, a 20-year-old German soldier Hein Severo in the German bunker on Omaha Beach used this machine gun to create an astonishing record.

In front of the WN62 bunker where he hid, a total of 4184 American soldiers were shot and fell, and at least half of the deaths should have been caused by Severo's MG-42 general-purpose machine gun.

Its lethality is evident!
As for the rest of the team members, in order to ensure the firepower and agility of the special forces, they are equipped with American M3A1 submachine guns.

This gun is an improved version of the M3 submachine gun, the standard weapon of the Yamamoto Special Forces, and it can also be said to be an enhanced version of the M3 submachine gun.

In addition, each team member is also equipped with individual equipment such as pistols, daggers, special helmets, and tactical vests.

It can be said that the Spike Special Forces has completely crushed the Yamamoto Special Forces in terms of weapons and equipment.
