Age of Rebirth

Chapter 640 Breakthrough blocked

Tang Qiuli led a force of more than 800 troops. When he was about to walk out of the Taihang Mountains and reached the border of Henan, the only exit was tightly guarded by two regiments of Japanese troops. , You followed the marching route of the troops and caught up, the situation was a bit critical.

Seeing everyone's worried eyes, Tang Qiuli forced himself to calm down. He knew very well that Shanhu and Sun Zhenbang were not worried about their own safety, but themselves, the protected object. If they were careless at this time, they would be arrested. The Japanese army attacked back and forth, even if they managed to get out, the troops would suffer heavy losses. He did not doubt the bravery of the soldiers, but this kind of unnecessary sacrifice was not a last resort. He must not put all his eggs in one basket and exchange the lives of the soldiers for himself Tang Qiuli's safety is absolutely impossible.

In the current situation, we can’t wait until it gets dark to chase up the Japanese army. When they find that the troops suddenly disappear, they will start searching immediately. After an encounter, anything can happen. Only the Japanese army who blocked the exit in front has not yet strengthened. When on guard, take a sudden attack and fight out.

He called Shan Hu, Sun Zhenbang, Company Commander Wu, and Instructor Li of the Eighth Route Army together, and told them the plan, which drew unanimous objections from several people. It was too risky to take risks with the safety of the division commander. The plan is that the troops are divided into two parts, one part is to attack the Japanese army at the mountain pass, the other part is to block the Japanese army that is chasing after them. The special guards and the fifth special warfare unit of the guard brigade are responsible for protecting the division commander from the flank to Linzhou, Henan. [

When Shanhu and the others announced their plan, Tang Qiuli knew in his heart that these people had no intention of going out of the Taihang Mountains at all, and used their lives to attract the Japanese troops before and after, and create all the conditions for themselves to break through smoothly. Of course, Tang Qiuli disagreed. , the opinions of several people were at a stalemate. At this time, the soldiers on alert came to report that the Japanese army at the mountain pass had changed. As if they had received some orders, they entered the position one after another, and the obstacles on the mountain pass were also piled up.

Obviously, the Japanese army here must have received a notification from the chasing Japanese army, and they wanted to go out of the mountain pass without delay. Before the Japanese army was deployed, they immediately started to attack. Tang Qiuli stopped discussing and immediately issued an order , concentrated all the mortars and light and heavy machine guns of the troops, and dealt the most violent blow to the Japanese army on the opposite side.

Sun Zhenbang's troops attacked from the front, and the Guard Brigade and the Eighth Route Army's reconnaissance company attached to the Fifth Special Warfare Detachment seized the commanding heights on both sides, and the covering troops protruded. Six miles away, chasing after them was a regiment of Japanese troops.

Neiji Okamura received a report that in the southern part of the Taihang Mountains, for two days, small-scale battles had occurred continuously. There should be a group of Chinese soldiers in action. The location was connected into a line on the map, and he understood that the purpose of this group of Chinese soldiers was to head towards Henan.

Dare to fight all the way through his own heavy troops, either because he has a special mission or to protect an important person. Otherwise, he will not risk being exposed and can completely hide it. What, it's not that easy to leave. He immediately ordered a regiment to follow their trail and wipe out all the Chinese armed forces before they walked out of the Taihang Mountains. It's best to catch them alive. He wants to see if What kind of character dares to fight all the way.

Order the border area adjacent to Henan to strengthen the police, and don't let anyone suspicious, especially in the Shuzhanggou area, where is the only way for them to go to Henan. Since entering the Taihang Mountains, they have not really fought against the independent division. In the first battle, those Chinese soldiers were as slippery as loaches, and they would go away with one blow, and they couldn't catch them.

Okamura Neiji would not let it go easily, but in his opinion, it was an extremely trivial matter. After giving the order, he devoted all his energy to it. In the upcoming siege of Huangya Cave, if he finds out in the future that the one he spared was Tang Qiuli, the devil of China, it must be Neji Okamura who regrets committing suicide, right?

Since Tang Qiuli's decision cannot be changed, the troops quickly entered the combat state, lying among the withered grass and behind the rocks, watching the panic-stricken Japanese soldiers establish a firepower point there, the guard brigade turned on the guy, and sent two companies of the Eighth Route Army The officer was taken aback. Is this just a divisional guard?

My God, there are more than [-] mortars, dozens of light and heavy machine guns, and four [-]-type infantry guns. Even field troops cannot have so many heavy weapons. Over and over again, they can't show so many good guys. The independent teachers are so rich that they can only envy them.

This is the standard equipment required by Shan Hu for the guard brigade. He is equipped with weapons in accordance with the requirements of being surrounded by large-scale Japanese troops at any time. Even the amount of medicine carried exceeds that of field infantry. In addition to submachine guns and shell guns, you also need to carry four mortars or two Type [-] infantry guns.

Shanhu has his own reasons. The commander has a temper and often goes to the troops everywhere. Who knows what unexpected situations will happen. He would rather the soldiers suffer than be in danger of running out of food. With nearly [-] hairs, the captain set an example. What else can the soldiers say? After a long time, the soldiers will get used to the extra weight of twenty catties on their bodies. Without these, they will feel light on their bodies. Unexpectedly, the soldiers all practiced good leg skills, which came in handy today.

The security brigade and the fifth special warfare unit had already concealed their way to the commanding heights on both sides. Tang Qiuli watched them get in place and raised his gun. The head of a Japanese soldier appeared firmly in the front sight. Tang Long gun shot out a flame , The crisp sound of gunfire suddenly sounded in the silent valley. The gunfire was the signal of an attack. There was a hurricane on the flat ground, and mortars, light and heavy machine guns smashed at the Japanese army head-on.

The smoke was billowing, the fire was shining, the fortifications of the Japanese soldiers, the mud was flying, and the pieces were whistling. With such a sudden blow, the Japanese soldiers were stunned at that time. It was also the Japanese soldiers who had stayed in this wilderness for too long. It has been more than ten days since I was ordered to stay here. Except for the mountains connecting mountains and the grass next to the grass, I can't even see a ghost, let alone a flower girl. Everyone who is idle farts.

Occasionally, the wild animals that ran past in panic are also rare objects for these chatty Japanese soldiers. They bet to guess whether it is a male or a female child. Are the militants in Kushina?How many heads have grown, dare to rush to thousands of brave imperial army?

After receiving this fierce blow, while covering his head and turning around, he cursed the boss who reported the situation in his heart, went blind, and farted with his mouth full. Is this a small piece of Chinese armed forces?It is not a brigade of the Independent Division. There is not so much artillery fire. If you curse, you have to block it. Otherwise, there is no good fruit to eat. The fortifications of the Japanese army were bombed to pieces. , the dead and wounded.

Under the command of the officers, the Japanese soldiers on both sides quickly filled the gap in the valley passage. At the same time, the Japanese soldiers who camped behind also rushed to the forward positions. When the Japanese soldiers on both sides moved, the fifth special warfare unit and the guard brigade also rushed to the front. It moved, and the submachine gun shot flying sand and rocks, and it took no effort to occupy the commanding heights of the two wings. Tang Qiuli saw the opportunity coming, and immediately ordered the troops to pass quickly along the breakthrough.

Just after rushing to the Japanese fortifications, a large number of Japanese soldiers arrived. The Japanese troops of these two regiments guarded the mountain pass in rotation, every three days. The troops who were not on duty could rest freely. Forming a deep defense, Tang Qiuli commanded the troops to strike suddenly, only opening the first gap, and a regiment of Japanese troops behind pressed them.

The soldiers of Sun Zhenbang's army who rushed to the front fell down. The troops behind were crushed in the fortifications by the intensive firepower of the Japanese army and could not move forward. The guard soldiers around Tang Qiuli were hit two or three times. The son who whizzed past, followed by Mei Ting and Mei Xue, rushed over at the critical moment, otherwise, they would be made dumplings by the Japanese army.

He put a new clip on the Tang Long gun, got up and was about to charge forward, a dozen soldiers from the special guard rushed over, and tightly protected him, Mei Ting, and Mei Xue, forming a human bunker around him, rushing forward. Tang Qiuli cursed loudly, but was unable to break through the protection of more than a dozen soldiers. The gunshots from behind became louder and closer, and the pursuers also arrived. [

A mortar exploded nearby. Tang Qiuli tightly protected Mei Ting and Mei Xue under his body. Above him were seven or eight special guard soldiers. There was a roar in his ears. He smiled bitterly to himself. Want to explain here?Even if they can break through, the casualties of the troops will not be small. Whether they insist on going their own way has led to the current situation.

Shaking off the dirt from her body, Tang Qiuli saw blood oozing from the bodies of the soldiers of the special guard who were protecting her. Fortunately, they were not seriously injured. Mei Ting looked calm, straightened her messy hair, and smiled at him, Mei Xue His face was a little pale, and there was a look of panic in his eyes.

Shanhu has already dispatched a squadron of troops to stop the Japanese army from behind. Tang Qiuli looked at the situation and saw that a fierce battle was inevitable. He ordered a group of special guards to protect the safety of Mei Ting and Mei Xue, even if the sky fell. Tube, after finishing speaking, he got up and was about to fight, but was held down tightly by the soldiers of the special guard.

Tang Qiuli cursed with threats, such as shooting, dismissal, and confinement. Nothing worked. He struggled to raise his head, and saw two planes appearing in the sky. The roar of the engine came immediately, and he secretly groaned in his heart. He also called for planes to help in the battle. Today is a day of bad luck.
