I rise from the sword

Chapter 70 Devil's sneak attack
"Yoxi! When death is imminent, these stupid Chinese people are still sleeping. They are like a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

I really don't know how the headquarters of the Sakata United was destroyed by such a group of Chinese, it's a waste! "

Gu Chuan had a cold smile like a wild wolf on the corner of his mouth, his eyes were full of undisguised murderous intent, and there was a mockery of Sakata United in his words.

At this time, a lieutenant staff officer next to him said cautiously: "Captain, we have already penetrated deep into the hinterland of Luotuo Ridge. Look at the surrounding terrain is complicated. Shall we send an infantry squadron as an advance team first to be sure?"

Keichi Gu Chuan said with a nonchalant smile: "Takeshita-kun, you are too cautious. I have all the information about the independent battalion of the Chinese Army under my control. It is still dark at this time, so we can use the cover of night to launch a surprise attack."

After a pause, Keiichi Gu Chuan said confidently again: "Also, even if the Chinese find us, the imperial army can completely defeat and eliminate them in a frontal battle!"

Guizi Captain's staff officer nodded: "The captain is justified, it seems that his humble position is too much to worry about."

Immediately, Furukawa ordered the subordinates behind him: "All squadrons listen to the order, and you immediately follow the plan I made, and divide your troops into four groups to encircle the independent battalion of the Chinese Army to destroy them all!"

"Remember! All ministries must march quietly, not those who shoot!"

"Reconnaissance team, you open the way ahead, you can remove the guard posts set up by the Chinese people along the way, and you can remove them if you can, and avoid them if you can't remove them!"

"Hai! The humble rank understands!"

The devil officers all nodded together, each with their own troops and horses, and according to the plan specified before, divided the troops into 4 routes and quietly moved towards the independent battalion station.

……

Yang Lin didn't know that the requirements for training troops were strict, and there were strict arrangements for guard posts everywhere.

He made his fortune through sneak attacks, so how could he not prevent the Japanese from using the same method to deal with him?
In addition to the clear sentry posts deployed on the main roads around Luotuoling, there are also many hidden secret sentry posts.

These sentries are on 24-hour shifts, staring at the surrounding situation unrelentingly, and any disturbances are under their surveillance.

Especially with the establishment of the reconnaissance company, the defense system of the independent battalion has been strengthened a lot.

It is less than 3 kilometers away from the Independence Camp, on an inconspicuous low hill.

Several sentries from the Independent Battalion were secretly hiding here. They wore a snow-white cloak that almost blended with the snow on the ground. It was almost impossible to find them without getting closer.

At this time, they seemed to find someone on the mountain road in front of them sneaking towards them.

After discovering that the situation was wrong, the sentries immediately cheered up.

"The people in front stop, who are you and what are you doing here?"

The leading sentinel squad leader questioned the suspicious person in front loudly, and several other sentries took up weapons and flashed out from the corner.

Their guns were pointed at the figure on the side of the road. Since the other party was wearing the clothes of ordinary people, the leader was carrying a basket on his back.

In addition, there were many people living here around Luotuoling, so they didn't open fire directly.

The ghost scout was startled at first, but quickly calmed down, and then responded in Chinese: "Don't misunderstand the military master on the opposite side, we are fellow villagers who go up the mountain to collect medicine."

"The fellow who went up the mountain to collect medicine?"

The squad leader of the sentinel kept his eyes open. He was wary of the other party and didn't fully believe it.

"You two, go and search!"

"Yes! Squad leader!"

Two of the sentries responded and walked down the hill with their guns in hand.

Although the ghost scouts carried baskets, hoes, and dressed as medicine farmers, they still carried weapons on their bodies for safety measures.

As long as the opponent stepped forward to search, the camouflage on their bodies would be torn off immediately, and the large troops behind would also be discovered.

In addition, the other party has already discovered them and raised their vigilance. At this time, it is almost impossible to kill the other party silently.

Several devil scouts exchanged glances with each other, suddenly pulled out the short guns around their waists, and shot at the oncoming sentries.

"Boom, boom boom boom!"

There was a burst of crackling gunshots, and the two sentries were caught off guard, screaming and falling to the ground one after another.

"Damn it! It's the enemy, shoot, brothers, shoot!"

The other two sentries heard the squad leader's words and rushed to shoot at the enemy under the hill.

"Crack, clap!—"

The gunshots continued to ring out, and the bullets pulled the line of fire, which was particularly eye-catching in the night.

Regrettably, there were only 5 sentries on duty here, and at this time there were only 3 left. Although they tried their best, they still failed to eliminate a few little devils.

Soon, they were knocked to the ground one after another by the devil scouts who rushed up.

However, the gunshots piercing the night sky quickly attracted the attention of the remaining sentries of the Independence Battalion.

After they realized that the situation was wrong, they quickly gathered here and reported the news of the enemy's attack to the battalion headquarters.

"What? A large number of devils are attacking?"

Yang Lin woke up from his sleep, although he was very puzzled, how did the army of devils infiltrate suddenly.

After all, this is the hinterland of one's own control zone. If the enemy wants to come here, he must pass through the defense zone of some friendly troops.

However, with the enemy at hand, Yang Lin didn't have time to think about it. After he got up, he immediately ordered the soldiers to gather urgently.

"gather!"

"Everyone gather urgently!"

"Hurry up!"

Soon, the trumpeters of the Independence Battalion puffed up their cheeks and blew the emergency assembly whistle.

After a period of training, the mental outlook of the soldiers has long since taken on a new look, and they are no longer the mob with loose military discipline.

The soldiers got up as quickly as possible, picked up their weapons and ran out of the barracks to assemble.

Yang Lin walked towards the open space at the gate of the station, and asked, "Ma Gan, what's the specific situation?"

Ma Gan said: "Our forward observation post has already exchanged fire with the devils. According to their report, the enemy has dispatched at least one brigade of troops, and they also carry a lot of heavy machine guns, artillery and other heavy fire weapons."

Hearing this, Yang Lin frowned. He didn't expect the devils to dispatch so many troops, and they came so suddenly that he had no defense at all.

Right now, at the battalion headquarters of the independent battalion, the combat troops only have the 1st company, artillery company and battalion directly under the guard platoon.

But now that the sky is not bright, the specific situation of the devils cannot be seen, and the role of the artillery company without cover is almost negligible.

As for the other main infantry companies and cavalry companies, they were stationed in several nearby villages. It would be difficult for Yang Lin to gather troops for combat deployment for a while.

This can't help but make Yang Lin feel very tricky.
