After confirming the action, the special forces members immediately began to advance forward stealthily and secretly annihilate the Japanese's guard troops.

So, without the Japanese army's main force being aware of the situation, the Red Alert Force cut off the Japanese army's spies and eyes, and then began to deploy against the Japanese army's positions.

Ten tactical action teams sneaked up to the Japanese while they were completely unprepared, while the volunteers operated 82mm mortars in the rear to provide fire support.

Seeing that the troops at the front and the artillery in the rear were ready, the squadron leader of the special forces battalion immediately said to the commanders of the front and rear troops: "Check the clock! It is now 11:26:40 pm. Launch the attack at 11: pm!"

"understand!"

"All units should hurry up and make preparations!"

Afterwards, the infiltrated troops began to make final preparations for the Japanese attack.

According to the predetermined combat plan, the artillery unit in the rear will fire five rapid rounds, and then the ten tactical action teams on the front line will launch an attack.

After all, in the current situation, there is no need to worry about whether or not to attract the enemy. It is now clear that the other party is going to the eastern front, and troops have been arranged to block them. The Red Alert Force and the Volunteer Army no longer have to worry about whether the shelling will cause adverse consequences.

Anyway, it can't be worse than it is now.

At the same time, a Japanese-American tank company was about to reach the road near the blocking position.

The top brass of the Japanese army were well aware of how powerful the Chinese army was. In this situation, since a single battalion of Japanese troops could not stop the Chinese army, they also sent a tank company to the vanguard. If the blocking position was lost, they could still rely on the armored forces to hold the highway.

In fact, I was not sure whether the Chinese army would really go to the eastern front, so only half of the main force of the Japanese-American troops actually went, and not all of them went to the blocking area.

If the Chinese army had not gone to the Eastern Front, their entire brigade's efforts would have been in vain.

At this time, the commanders of the approaching troops at the front and the artillery units in the rear looked at their watches.

11 points.

"The artillery will fire in one minute, comrades, get ready!"

"understand!"

As the watch hands pointed to half past 11, the volunteer artillerymen in the rear slid the shells directly into the gun barrels.

“Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang.”

"Boom boom boom boom boom."

Under the rapid fire of five rounds by the Volunteer Army's artillery, the entire position of the Japanese was instantly covered by dense artillery shells. With the fierce explosions, the Japanese on the position could only wail in pain.

"Bakayaloo! It's the Chinese shelling!"

"My legs! Help me!"

"When did they sneak up here? Why is there no news at all?"

"Mom~"

"Where are the guard troops? They are all a bunch of idiots!"

"boom!"

Because the Japanese soldiers were not on guard at all, they had very little chance to hide when they were bombarded by the Chinese army.

After hearing the explosion, the Japanese tank company on the kilometer distance immediately moved forward towards the blocking position.

"What happened to the blocking troops?! Have they spotted the Chinese troops?"

"They haven't replied to the telegram yet!"

"Baga, order the troops to advance towards the blocking position! Contact the troops in the rear, the Chinese are indeed trying to escape to the east!"

"Hai!"

Looking at the time on the watch, the Japanese couldn't understand why the Chinese army had reached this position in such a short time. According to their assumptions, it would take at least 40 minutes for the enemy to arrive here.

The result of the Japanese mold's miscalculation was that they were ambushed by the Chinese army without any warning.

"Comrades, the artillery strike is over, attack!"

As the artillery stopped firing, the loud sound of a charge suddenly rang out in front of the Japanese blocking position.

Even though the Red Alert forces do not have heavy weapons, they can still give the impression of coordinated infantry and artillery.

Since the range of the Japanese blocking positions was not large, the 82 mortars in the rear stopped firing when the full-scale offensive was launched. However, there were still many mortar soldiers in the special forces battalion who could be called "god gunners". Not only did they not stop firing when the offensive was launched, but they began to attack more fiercely.

Not far behind the attacking force, several special forces members held the barrel of the 60mm mortar with one hand and began to aim and load with one hand. One after another, 60 mortar shells were fired from the barrel, heading straight for the various fixed firepower points and densely populated areas of the Japanese.

But now, after the bombing just now, the overall deployment and command of the Japanese have become chaotic. The Japanese, who were already struggling to hold on under the attack of the tactical action team, can no longer withstand the mortar bombardment.

The Special Forces Battalion was originally defined as a special operations force within the Red Alert. Their offensive methods are very different from those of regular infantry. After all, special operations forces do not have as much heavy firepower as regular infantry, so they pay more attention to the accuracy of the attack and the coordination and cooperation between various units.
With a series of short bursts of fire, the Japanese's porous defense line was torn apart by the special forces. The Japanese who tried to organize a defense in front of the special forces were often no match for them, and many of them could not even fire a shot.

The Japanese had also thought about using corners to launch sneak attacks on the attacking special forces, but the Red Alert Force not only had artillery support, but also a lot of sniper support for precision strikes.

Almost every Japanese soldier who thought he was in a good hiding position was shot to death by a sniper from the Red Alert Force.

Near the commanding heights of the Japanese ambush position, several Japs were moving a 12.7mm Browning M2 heavy machine gun into a bunker they had just built. While the Japs were carrying the machine gun and ammunition, a Red Alert sniper also discovered them.

"Attention support troops, position: 153, 626, altitude: 584, enemy bunker, destroy!"

"understand!"

Before the attack, the Red Alert troops had anticipated the possibility of hidden firepower fortifications, so they deployed several Red Arrow 8 anti-tank missile launchers before launching the attack to prevent any accidents.

As an anti-tank missile developed by the Chinese Army, Chinese military workers never intended to use it only for anti-tank purposes. Starting with the Hongjian 73, China's anti-tank missiles have always been good at attacking fixed firepower points and fortifications!
The Red Alert soldier operating the anti-tank missile then aimed the crosshairs at the Japanese bunker and pulled the trigger.

"Whoosh~"

A Red Arrow 8 anti-tank missile, guided by a laser indicator, headed straight for the Japanese bunker.

While the Japanese soldiers in the bunker were still installing machine guns, the Red Arrow 8 of the Red Alert Force hit the bunker directly, causing a violent explosion. "Boom!"

As the explosion sounded, the Japanese bunker was directly blown into a big pit, and the M2 heavy machine gun that the Japanese had moved in with great effort was directly blown into the air in a state of parts.

"All units continue to attack! The Japanese must be completely wiped out within 5 minutes!"

After receiving the order, the Red Alert soldiers began to speed up their attack, and the Japanese also suffered accelerated casualties due to heavy casualties and the withdrawal of all their heavy firepower points.

On the road behind the mountain, the Japanese-American armored soldiers heard the sound of gunfire like frying beans on the top of the mountain and the occasional explosions, and immediately moved closer to the sniping position and aimed their guns in the direction of the sniping position.

As the gunfire on the mountain gradually decreased, the tank soldiers on the road began to stare at the sniping positions, and beads of sweat appeared on the palms of the Japanese gunner.

"Baga, we must hold the blocking position!"

While the Japanese were praying, the Red Alert soldiers were searching the position to see if there were any Japanese soldiers who were not completely dead, while the special forces members wearing ghillie suits reached the reverse slope of the Japanese position.

The first thing the Red Alert soldiers who had just crossed the ridge discovered was the M4 Sherman tank on the road.

"The Japs have armored forces on the road behind the mountain. I estimate there is a company of Shermans!"

"Fuck! The Shermans on the road, aren't they delivering food to us? Anti-tank missile team, 40mm fire team, go forward and kill them immediately!"

"understand!"

The special forces members who received the order took their equipment and moved forward secretly.

At this time, the Japanese-American tank company was still urging support troops. After all, if they could hold their positions, it would be fine. But once the Chinese army occupied their blocking positions, they didn't know whether they could rely on just one tank company to hold this kilometer.

Their unit now only has one tank company, and there is not even any accompanying infantry. If the Chinese army attacks them, even defense will be a problem!

However, after calling the rear, they soon received a response.

"Ground troops are expected to arrive in 30 minutes, but air support will be here in about five minutes!"

"Yoshi! With air support, we can fully utilize our firepower advantage!"

The Japanese tank soldiers breathed a sigh of relief when they learned that air support would arrive in 5 minutes.

However, by this time the Red Alert had already arrived near the highway and had set up their equipment.

"Fire!"

"Swish swish swish~"

After preparations were complete, the Red Alert's anti-tank missiles and rocket launchers began firing at the Japanese-American armored forces. The anti-tank missiles first "cut off the head and tail" of the tank column on the road, and the remaining 40 missiles began to carry out precision strikes on the Sherman tanks on the road.

The anti-tank missile Hongjian-1, which can penetrate even the later M2A4, is like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut when attacking the M Sherman of World War II.

After the Japanese tanks were cut off from the head and tail, the entire tank group and the remaining tanks were trapped in the middle of the road by the wreckage of the tanks. The remaining 40 guns began to specifically destroy these Sherman tanks.

Under the sudden attack, the Japanese American tanks couldn't even find where the Chinese army's firepower points were. And because the Red Alert soldiers were using light weapons, they moved directly after firing a shot, which made it impossible for all the Japanese members hiding in the tanks to find the enemy's position.

The observation angle of the periscope used inside the tank is originally small. In this case, it would be extremely difficult to find the firing point of the hidden special forces members!

As for popping out the hatch to observe
Four Japanese tank commanders had already been targeted and killed by snipers from the Red Alert force while they were observing.

But at this moment, the Japanese tank soldiers who had been beaten into despair suddenly heard the sound of airplane engines coming from the sky.

"The air force is here! Air support is here!"

"Onboard!"

Seeing the planes coming to support them, the Japanese soldiers in the tanks began to cheer.

The first batch of air strike forces sent by Fungus this time were four F4U piston propeller fighters. However, in front of the Red Alert force, four propeller fighters flew over their heads. What the hell is the difference between this and committing suicide?
"Attention, air defense team! Shoot down those planes in the sky!"

"understand!"

After determining the location of the fungus plane, several Red Alert soldiers put down their Type 85 submachine guns, replaced them with the Hongying 5 individual air defense missiles behind them and took aim.

As the locking system beeped, the Red Alert fighter of the air defense group immediately pulled the trigger, and the F4U fighter that was preparing to dive was shot down and crashed within a few seconds.

The Japanese tank soldiers watched helplessly as their air support was killed by the Chinese army without even firing a shot.

The Japanese pilots could parachute after their plane was shot down, but the Japanese tank soldiers on the ground broke through the defense immediately after seeing the plane crash.

Damn it! Without air support they’re dead!
And this is indeed the case. Less than 5 minutes after the Fungal Air Force was completely killed, all the Sherman tanks turned into burning iron shells.

"Hurry up and move forward! There should be no enemies ahead now. We must reunite with the 167th Division as quickly as possible!"

At this time, on the road leading to the blocking position, a regiment of Japanese troops was marching quickly towards the blocking position, fearing that if they slowed down, the Chinese would escape. Now there had been no call back from the blocking position and the tank company for ten minutes, and I'm afraid the entire blocking operation was in danger.

By the time the Japanese support troops arrived, the Red Alert and Volunteer Army soldiers had already continued to rush towards the eastern front.

Looking at the battlefield with only ruins left on the ground, the Japanese regiment commander frowned and ordered the surrounding troops: "Look for traces of the Chinese escaping and chase them immediately!"

"Hai!"

It didn't take long before the Japanese discovered traces of the Chinese army. So they didn't even check the wounded or deal with the bodies on the battlefield, but directly pursued the Chinese army in the direction of retreat.

"Captain, the Japanese are chasing us, and they are only 3 kilometers away from us!"

"How far are we from reaching the 167th Division's position?"

“Seven kilometers to go!”

Upon hearing this, the commander of the infiltrated troops immediately ordered: "Mark the firing points along the way, and contact the 167th Division to prepare for the artillery attack!"

"Yes!" (End of this chapter)
