Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

The convoy arrived at the 11-kilometer straight river early, and then saw that the comrades of the special forces company were already ready for battle.

"Captain Qi, we have built a position at the mouth of the Nanming River in the south. If the convoy moves forward, the sound of the engine should be heard over there, so let's walk over there!" The comrades of the special forces company politely led the artillerymen to the river mouth south of Xiazhan Village, which was only two kilometers away from the center of Yangyi Town in a straight line.

By the time the artillerymen had selected the location of their positions, began digging battle pits, and sent out observers to observe the situation in Yangyi in the southeast, the main forces of the independent regiment also arrived here one after another.

"Where is your commander?" At 4 o'clock in the morning, Ding Wei hurried over to the western hilltop next to the river mouth and asked where Li Yunlong was.

"Old Ding, haha... I'm here! Come here quickly, I've brought your first battalion here, and I've also promised that guy Lian Sheng to let him take the main attack..." Li Yunlong said.

"You dare to make decisions for my troops? Forget it, your arrangement makes sense. Our regiment now only has one battalion that can be considered a fresh force! By the way, here are the comrades from the 2nd Core Regiment of the rd Division. Now that our three regiments are together, should we consider how to fight?" Ding Wei asked.

"How else can we fight? I've arranged everything for you!" Li Yunlong pointed to Yangyi in the east and said, "Yangyi is just a small town, with mountains to the south, north and northwest. Here, you, the New 1st Regiment, stay here and occupy the estuary of the Nanming River. The two mountains to the north are all yours. Comrades of the basic regiment, go south and occupy the hilltop positions south of Yangyi!"

"As for my independent regiment, we will cross this mountain to the east and launch an attack directly from Berlin!" said Li Yunlong.

"Haha, Li Yunlong, Li Yunlong, you want to be the brigade commander, right?" Ding Wei nodded at Li Yunlong with a smile, and then said, "Come on, our New 1st Regiment is late, so we are following your arrangement! However, we must have the right to lead the attack!"

"How about not only giving you the right to lead the attack, but also giving you command of the artillery? Look, the artillery position is on the mountain just north of Yangyi, overlooking the entire town! Lao Ding, this kind of battle is rich!"

"Okay, it's rare for you to be so generous! Then, when the battle starts, we'll do this..." Ding Wei clapped his hands, agreeing with Li Yunlong's opinion, and then continued to discuss. You mean the comrades in the basic regiment? How can the basic regiment have a say in front of the main regiment? They are all from the old army. The two old leaders are discussing the battle plan here, just listen.

Taking advantage of the dark sky, hundreds of soldiers from the basic regiment quickly moved south, occupied the hill next to the town, and established a position from a high position. At the same time, the main forces of the three battalions of the independent regiment directly crossed the hill north of the town and came to Berlin Village. Well, Berlin means cypress forest, not the capital of a certain country.

Maybe the Japanese didn't realize the threat, or maybe they were confident in their own strength... In short, the three regiments of troops have surrounded Yangyi, and the Japanese haven't reacted yet. You have to understand that Li Yunlong's deployment just arranged troops in the upper left, upper right, and south directions of Yangyi, which is a complete triangular attack formation.

Seeing that the troops were ready, the three regiments sent out attack teams in unison and approached the town from three directions.

"Okay, listen to me. Your company is the assault team of our battalion. Go south along the Nanming River, and then launch an attack in the northeast corner of the town! Remember, don't rush into the town when the fighting starts. We have artillery that can bomb at any time. There is no need to risk human lives! However, once three consecutive red flares are launched, rush into the town regardless of everything!"

"Okay, now is the time to sleep well, let's take action!" 1000 meters away from the town, Lian Sheng finished his pre-war speech, and the 1st Company broke away from the main force and set off.

This battle plan was discussed by the three regiment leaders, because they were not sure whether the Japanese had received the news in advance, and there was no need to sneak attack the Japanese, in case they were ambushed by the Japanese. Therefore, their plan was to attack openly, anyway, they had heavy troops to keep the situation under control, so there was no need to be stingy.

500 meters away from the town's outer wall, the 1st Company stopped, and then a platoon moved forward; 300 meters away, it stopped again, and a squad of soldiers served as the spearhead squad, deployed their formation, and continued to move forward.

At this time, it was the darkest time before dawn, and the soldiers of the spearhead squad also moved forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow, trying not to make any noise. If, if the devils were really unprepared, they could break into the town and launch an attack.

Boom... Suddenly, a ball of fire exploded in the darkness, illuminating the city wall of Yangyi and also illuminating the comrades who were marching.

"Oh no, that's Sicheng in that position, he stepped on a landmine!" The comrades in the spearhead squad all thought of this in their hearts.

"Shoot..." At this time, on the city wall of Yangyi Town, a Japanese second lieutenant officer pointed at the place where the explosion occurred and waved his command knife.

Ga, gaga, gaga... Ga, gaga... The unpleasant sound of the Type 92 heavy machine gun was heard, and strings of bullets flew out, forming a fire snake in the dark night.

"Sure enough, the devils are prepared!" In the back, on the mountain, Si Yong and his men sighed inwardly, and then felt relieved. Since the devils are prepared, we should fight as prepared!

"Use the grenade launcher to blow up the enemy's heavy machine gun!" In the dark night, Squad Leader Sun of the spearhead squad gave the order.

"Boom..." The grenade thrower of the spearhead squad put the grenade thrower on the ground and fired a grenade directly at the machine gun point. After firing the grenade, he turned over and rolled to the side while holding the grenade thrower.

Boom... The grenade hit the firing hole of the heavy machine gun on the city wall, and a ball of fire exploded, but it did not kill the heavy machine gun. However, this grenade also illuminated the position where Ji Qiang was, and people found that this machine gun position was actually set up in the open air in the notch of the city wall, and it was not a solid fortification with a roof on it.

What else can I say? At the moment when the light flashed, the soldiers of the sharp knife squad in the dark night opened fire collectively, focusing fire on the heavy machine gun squad.

In the darkness, there were flashes of muzzle flashes, which made the Japanese soldiers on the city wall happy, thinking that their work last night was not in vain.

At this moment, the roar of the Type 92 infantry gun was heard in Yangyi Town, followed by flares slowly falling from the sky.

"Hide! The little devils are really advanced, they even have flares!" Seeing the light shining, the comrades of the first battalion lay down on the ground one after another, without making any movements. Of course, the spearhead squad in front was not among them. They kept changing positions and firing at the city, clearly trying to attract the devil's target. (End of this chapter)
