I rise from the sword

Chapter 352 Fighting wits and courage, the greedy Ikeda Squadron became cannon fodder
After leaving the temporary regiment headquarters underground, Yang Lin came directly to the tower of the east gate.

The city walls of the county seat are thick and solidly defended. Although they are all ancient masonry buildings with a history of hundreds of years, the city walls are completely capable of resisting ordinary mortar attacks.

Yang Lin came to the city gate and raised the binoculars in his hand to observe the enemy's situation ahead.

About 2000 meters outside the city, lightly armed troops of Zongzi appeared.

The strength of the devils, as well as the situation of weapons and equipment, are basically similar to those reported by the sentinels.

Although the little devils only dispatched more than 300 people, since these guys chose to play lanterns in the latrine, Yang Lin was naturally willing to be an adult.

"Third Battalion Commander, have you seen this devil army in front?"

Before the Third Battalion Commander Zhou Yun could speak, Yang Lin continued, "Since they want to seek death, let them be fulfilled!"

"My request is very simple, wipe out all the invading enemies, and don't invest too many troops to expose our target!"

"Yes, group seat!"

The commander of the third battalion, Zhou Yun, saluted, agreed, and then turned around to pass on the order.

According to Zhou Yun's instructions, the officers and soldiers of the third battalion set up an ambush around the east city gate in advance. They hid themselves in the streets of the city and used the surrounding houses and buildings as cover, waiting for the arrival of the little devil.

That's right, Yang Lin's plan is to lure the devils into the city, and then wipe them out.

In this way, Tokugawa Ichiro can be confused to a greater extent, making this old devil not clear about the specific reality of the Zhongrui regiment.

……

Ten minutes later, the vanguard of the Devils crossed the field position outside the city abandoned by the Zhongrui Regiment, and rushed to the east gate.

Looking at Fenyang County, which was close in front of them, the devil soldiers were very cautious and did not enter in a hurry.

The leader, Captain Guizi, watched vigilantly around the city tower, Dong Kai, the city gate to the east, and the street was in chaos. The ground was full of various building ruins and abandoned domestic garbage. There was no one in sight, just like a building A deserted dead city.

Captain Guizi withdrew his gaze and said with a smile: "The Chinese army in the city has already fled. Our Ikeda Squadron was the first to enter the city, so we will be the first to break through Fenyang County!"

Although the previous scouts had been blocked by the Zhongrui Regiment, in Captain Guizi's view, this was just a small group of troops left behind by the Zhongrui Regiment.

If the Zhongrui Regiment really hadn't evacuated, how could they have opened the city gate and let them break in easily?

Put them closer, put them in the city and fight again?
Captain Guizi didn't think so, because if the main force of the Zhongrui Regiment hadn't withdrawn from Fenyang County, with their strength, they were fully capable of defending the vanguard of their 27th Division outside the city gate, so there was no need to do that.

Otherwise, once they are allowed to enter the city, they can unite with the main force to respond internally and externally, and bring huge troubles to the elite regiment defending the city...

Of course, even if you go directly to the city now, there are still certain risks, but risks and opportunities often coexist.

As long as he is the first to rush into the city, he will become the first commander to defeat the Zhongrui Regiment head-on, and his success is just around the corner!

Captain Guizi was eager for success, and hurriedly waved to the subordinates behind him to signal to move forward.

"Everyone, keep going!"

"Quick, quick! Enter the city!"

Under the command of the captain, the devil soldiers entered the city gate mightily.

"The cowardly sharp regiment of the Chinese Army has abandoned the city and fled, hurry up and move forward! Our Ikeda Squadron will be responsible for the first attack!"

When the devil soldiers entered the city, they saw that the streets were deserted, not to mention living people, there was not even a shadow of ghosts, so they quickly relaxed their vigilance and marched on the streets swaggeringly.

Some devil soldiers have already started smashing the doors, breaking into the shops and houses on both sides of the street, trying to go in and loot.

When the devil troops entered the city, the officers and soldiers of the Third Battalion of the Zhongrui Regiment had already noticed them, and they had been watching them secretly.

"Brothers, the little devils have entered the city, get ready to fight!"

The officers and soldiers of the third battalion passed on the orders word of mouth, and quickly conveyed the orders one by one.

The officers and soldiers hiding around the streets checked their weapons and equipment again, pulled the bolts, set up their machine guns, and aimed at the oncoming enemies.

The officers and soldiers of the third battalion were waiting in line, waiting for the commander Yang Lin to give the order to attack.

When all the devil troops entered the city, Yang Lin picked up a rifle, the muzzle protruded from the arrow stack, and aimed at the devil captain who was the last to give the order.

This guy looked at the Fenyang county seat in front of him, his eyes were dazzled by the attack on the city, and he was completely unaware of the crisis lurking around him.

What's more, he didn't know that he had been targeted by Yang Lin, the god of death.

At this moment, a crisp rifle sound broke the surrounding silence.

"Boom!—"

The gunshot rang out, and a bullet came out of the chamber immediately, hitting the devil captain on the back of the head as if he had eyes.

The bullet carried a strong inertial force, and easily penetrated the back of the ghost captain's skull, but formed a cavity effect in his head, smashing the head into pieces.

The helmet on top of his head sprayed out from the top of his head together with blood and brains.

The devil officers and soldiers around heard the gunshots, and when they looked back, they saw that their captain had fallen to the ground like a dead dog, and they shouted in shock.

"Baga! There's an ambush, so we've fallen for it!"

Captain Guizi was shot dead, and after a short period of panic, a Lieutenant Guizi immediately took over command.

Lieutenant Guizi rolled over on the spot, dodged to the corner of the street next to him, found a hidden place to hide, and then opened his voice to issue combat instructions.

"Don't mess around, this is just a small group of enemies from the sharp regiment of the Chinese Army, pay attention to concealment!"

"The machine gun team quickly builds firepower and engages the enemy!"

When the devil soldiers heard the order, they quickly scattered around to find hiding spots nearby, or lay down on the ground.

Yang Lin was condescending and had a panoramic view of the actions of the little devils on the street downstairs. A sneer appeared on his face, he pulled the bolt of the gun, ejected the case and reloaded a bullet.

In less than 200 meters, Yang Lin does not need to use the aid of a scope at this distance.

He moved the muzzle of the gun, aimed at the ghost lieutenant half crouching on the ground, and pulled the trigger confidently.

"Boom!—"

There was another gunshot, and the bullet shot from the devil lieutenant's right temple and penetrated his head, and a bloody arrow shot out from his left temple...

Gunshots are orders.

As soon as the gunshots rang out from Yang Lin's side, the officers and soldiers of the third battalion hiding around came out of the bunker collectively and decisively opened fire on the little devils who invaded the city.

"Brothers, fire, hit, give me a hard hit! Not a single devil will be left behind!"

Suddenly, on the street where a needle could be heard a moment ago, there was a burst of gunshots like popping beans.

"Da da da, da da da da!"

"Tut, chug, chug, chug..."

"Crack, clap clap clap!—"

Although the commander of the third battalion, Zhou Yun, had tried his best to control the firepower and only invested a company of troops, which was smaller than that of the little devil, the equipment configuration of the Zhongrui Regiment in terms of light weapons was not comparable to that of the little devil.

Suddenly, more than a dozen light and heavy machine guns, plus more than 10 rifles fired at the same time, and countless bullets flew from all directions to the devil soldiers on the street like a torrential rain.

The dense bullets poured over them like free hailstones, and many devil soldiers fell to the ground screaming like leeks that were cut by knives before they could find cover.

"Uh, uh, uh..."

In an instant, dozens of little devils were shot into a hornet's nest, and the rest of the little devils lay on the ground, pulling the bolts of their guns to fight back in the direction of the bullets.

"Baga, the hateful Chinese people, ambushing among us, the machine gun team is suppressing fire, hurry, hurry!!!"

"Crack, clap clap..."

"Da da da, da da da da..."

Although this army of devils was not an elite force, they were well-trained and equipped with strong on-the-spot adaptability. They were not defeated all at once.

Instead, they quickly established a defensive position relying on the ruined walls on the street, and launched a firepower confrontation with the surrounding officers and soldiers of the Third Battalion of the Zhongrui Regiment.

The little devil only had two [-]-type heavy machine guns and five or six light machine guns with crooked handles. Although the number was superior, he did not have the slightest advantage in firepower.

The morale of both sides fired and fired, and the stray bullets flew around. The brick walls of the houses on the street were torn apart by the bullets, and all kinds of debris were scattered and scattered.

"Tut, chug, chug, chug..."

Just as the fierce battle between the two sides was in full swing, several light and heavy machine guns on the city wall followed the instructions of the commander Yang Lin and fired one after another.

They flanked back and forth with the machine gun team under the city tower, and beat the little devil to the point where he was powerless.

At the same time, the grenadiers of the third battalion also set up grenadiers to focus on attacking the enemy's machine gun firepower.

"Tom, tom tom tom!!!"

Fiery grenades flew out from commanding heights such as city walls and roofs, and bombarded the crowd of devils.

"Boom, boom boom..."

The grenade landed precisely at the predetermined position, and exploded violently, blowing away the Devil's machine gunner with his gun.

Under such fierce firepower, the defensive position just established by the Ikeda Squadron did not play any role at all, and was destroyed by the Zhongrui Regiment.

For a while, the little devil was dizzy and disoriented by the powerful firepower of the third battalion and one company of the Zhongrui Regiment. He was defeated and could not form an effective resistance at all.

The battle lasted less than 10 minutes, and more than half of the little devils in the Ikeda Squadron were killed or injured. There were nearly [-] little devils' corpses lying in disorder on the street.

"Baga! These nasty Chinese soldiers are really cunning and insidious!"

"Don't be chaotic, prepare to turn in! Maintain a good battle formation, and the teams alternately cover each other and turn in!"

As soon as the ghost lieutenant officer finished speaking, a 7.92mm caliber medium-sized rifle bullet flew over and smashed his head.

According to the system rules, the higher the military rank and military position of the enemy Yang Lin killed, the higher the chance of receiving special rewards, and the better the reward items.

As for the enemies killed by his subordinates, he will only get merit points and experience points, and will not receive special rewards. This is the fundamental reason why he likes to fight in person.

After Yang Lin killed the ghost lieutenant, he quickly moved his gun and chose the next target.

None of the devil's officers were spared, and they were sniped by Yang Lin in one battle.

It is worth mentioning that killing devil officers, in addition to obtaining high merit and experience points, can also effectively disrupt the devil's command system, which is extremely beneficial to the entire battle situation.

"Ding! System prompt: Congratulations to the host, for killing one of the enemy's lieutenant officers, a special reward of one Type 1 light mortar and five boxes of shells; merit +97, experience +1."

"Ding! System prompt: Congratulations to the host, for killing one lieutenant officer of the enemy army, a special reward of 1 boxes of 7.62mm caliber general-purpose rifle ammunition; merit value +10, experience value +600."

"Ding! System prompt: Congratulations to the host, kill the enemy..."

……

With all the officers and officers killed, the remaining Japanese soldiers, not to mention organizing a counterattack, could no longer even maintain their retreating formation.

"No, the Chinese army's firepower is too fierce, and your Excellency, the captain, is also broken. Let's turn in and out of the city quickly!"

The devil soldiers of Ikeda Squadron only cared about escaping for their own lives. They ran towards the east gate of the cave in a panic. They didn't even care about the wounded and the corpse of the commander, and abandoned them all.

When Yang Lin saw that the little devil was about to run, he immediately gave an order to Zhou Yun, the commander of the third battalion beside him, "Old Zhou, if these little devils want to run, immediately block them with machine gun fire!"

"But remember, we must leave a few alive and let them run out!"

"Yes, group seat!"

Zhou Yun had been following Yang Lin for a while, and he understood Yang Lin's long-term plan to catch big fish. He promised, and then passed on the order.

The three battalions of machine gunners on the top of the tower received the order, turned their guns one after another, and shot at the little devils who fled downstairs.

"Tug, chug, chug!"

"Da da da, da da da da..."

It was the first time for the machine gunners to receive such an order. Although they seemed a little uncomfortable, they still tried their best to control the machine guns, trying not to kill all the fleeing little devils.

In the end, more than 300 little devils in Ikeda Squadron escaped with Yang Lin's deliberate attention.

……

the other side.

In order to grasp the situation of Ikeda Squadron for the first time, Tokugawa Ichiro moved his headquarters 5 kilometers forward and boarded a sounding balloon.

At this moment, the old devil was standing in the gondola of the sounding balloon, holding a telescope in his hand, condescendingly watching the battle.

Regrettably, due to the long distance, Tokugawa Ichiro could not see the situation inside the city. He could only see the remaining dozens of little devils from the Ikeda Squadron fleeing the city gate and being blocked by machine gun fire on the city wall. scene.

Tokugawa Ichiro showed no sadness or joy on his face, and there was no expression fluctuation on his face. It seemed that everything was under his control, and he was not angry because Ikeda Squadron was ambushed and almost wiped out.

When the 10 devil soldiers of the Ikeda Squadron escaped to the sky and ran out of the blockade of the machine gun, Tokugawa Ichiro also put down the sounding balloon and returned to the ground.
