Bright Sword: I am an undercover agent in the puppet army

Nobuo Kameda said gloomily: "If we don't break through, we can only wait for death. We are doomed to die. The First Battalion is the best example.

The Chinese Eighth Route Army had sulfur incendiary bombs in their hands. The vegetation on the slopes would not only fail to serve as shelter for the locust army, but would instead become fuel to burn the locust army to death!
If we break out now, there may be heavy casualties, but at least there is still a possibility of breaking out.

But if you just sit there and wait for death, then the only way left is to wait for death!

Honda-kun, do you understand?"

"Hey! I'm the one who was stupid!" The Japanese chief of staff bowed his head quickly, scared to the point of breaking out in a cold sweat.

A few minutes later.

The mound where the 1st Battalion of the Kameda Regiment was located had completely turned into a sea of ​​fire. The smell of burnt pork was diffused everywhere and drifted away with the wind. The soldiers of the independent regiment could smell it from hundreds of meters away.

At the same time, the Japanese soldiers on several other hills had launched a full-scale breakout under the order of the regiment commander Nobuo Kameda.

Thousands of Japanese soldiers, under the cover of artillery and machine guns, holding Type 38 rifles with bayonets installed, rushed down the mountain like a wave.

Seeing this, Ding Wei immediately opened his voice and yelled, "They are anxious! The Japs are anxious. They want to fight to the death with us. They are dreaming!
Everyone, fire at full force immediately, and fire all your ammunition!"

"Tu Tu Tu!"

"Da da da!--"

“Pah, pah, pah, pah!——”

The soldiers of the New 1st Regiment used whatever they had, including light and heavy machine guns, rifles, submachine guns, and pistols, and opened fire at full capacity.

For a moment, dense rain of bullets came like a wave, blocking the Japanese army in front.

What followed was that countless Japanese soldiers were beaten into a hornet's nest, with blood and flesh flying everywhere, and they fell in a pool of blood screaming.

Among them, the heavy machine guns caused the greatest casualties to the Japanese.

The machine gunners were obviously very experienced. They constantly corrected the trajectory of the bullets through the light of the tracer bullets and continued to reap the lives of the Japanese.

massacre!

At this point in the battle, it had become a one-sided massacre.

In the open wilderness, it was difficult for the Japanese soldiers of Kameda's regiment to break through, let alone get within a hundred meters of the Eighth Route Army's position.

In addition to the New 772st Regiment, the soldiers of the New 771nd Regiment, 386nd Regiment, and st Regiment also opened fire at full strength. The Kameda Regiment was the mortal enemy of their entire th Brigade and even the entire Eighth Route Army. At this moment, they would not hide anything.

They don’t care even if the ammunition consumption exceeds the plan, and they will not reserve their strength and pass the pressure to the brother troops next to them.

This is the biggest difference between the Eighth Route Army and the National Army. The National Army has too many factions, including local troops and central troops. Even within the central army there are many factions.

Therefore, when fighting, they will be selfish and will tend to preserve their strength and not help others in need, thinking that it is better to let their friends die than to let themselves die.

It even brings disaster upon friendly forces.

The Eighth Route Army would not have such a problem. Even if some commanders had personal conflicts, they would definitely work together to resist foreign enemies...

"Baga! Damn it! Those idiots in the Kasahara Regiment really deserve to die! If they weren't incompetent, how could the Chinese Eighth Route Army have so many light and heavy machine guns!"

Looking at his subordinates who were being knocked down like grass, Nobuo Kameda's face was distorted with anger.

Judging from the sound of gunfire, he could clearly find that at least half of the light and heavy machine guns in the hands of the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side were the Type 92 heavy machine guns and Type 99 light machine guns of their Great Japanese Locust Army, as well as the Jin-made light and heavy machine guns in the hands of the Imperial Army.

These were originally weapons and equipment of the Kasahara Regiment and its Imperial Army, but now they became the death warrant of the Great Japanese Locust Army.

The chief of staff beside him said anxiously: "Captain, what should we do? What should we do now? The firepower of the Chinese Eighth Route Army is too strong, and the casualties of the Locust Army are too great!"

Nobuo Kameda gritted his teeth and said, "What should we do? What else can we do? Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. At this point, the locust army can only hold on to the end to have a chance of breaking through!
Otherwise, once we call off the breakout, the bloodshed and sacrifices made by the Locust Army will be in vain.

Not only that, if the locust army wants to continue to break out, they will have to experience bloodshed and sacrifice.

The current strength of the Locust Army is not enough to sustain another round of casualties, so, regardless of the cost and the casualties, they rushed to the attack position of the Chinese Eighth Route Army in one go! "

"Hi Yi!"

The Japanese chief of staff could only bow his head and accept the order.

Then, Kameda Nobuo drew out the officer's sword from his waist, swung it forward vigorously and shouted: "Your Majesty, the locust army of heaven, disembark! The Great Japanese locust army, disembark!
Warriors of the Empire, attack, attack, Taoci Gai Gai! "

After saying that, Nobuo Kameda rushed up immediately after.

The Japanese weapons and equipment may not be ranked among the best in the world, but their fighting spirit is definitely among the top three.

The only ones that can be compared with it are the Soviet Red Army with political commissars and the Eighth Route Army facing the German Army in World War II.

As for the army that was 100% superior to the Japanese in terms of fighting will, it was probably the People's Volunteer Army during the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea!
Therefore, even though there were heavy casualties, and even though their companions around them were constantly shot and fell to the ground, the Japanese on the battlefield turned a blind eye to it.

They shouted the slogan "Board, Board" and were like cold-blooded war machines, only knowing how to charge forward.

Such an enemy is truly terrifying, worthy of being the elite of the Japanese army.

After suffering nearly 70% casualties, the Japanese soldiers at the forefront finally engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the Eighth Route Army in front of them.

For a while, the sound of shouting and killing was loud.

The sound of bayonets colliding, the sound of sharp blades cutting into flesh, the screams of those wounded by the knife, and the messy footsteps, the roars and curses of both sides intertwined together, composing a melody of death.

It has to be said that the Japanese were really strong in bayonet fighting. If three of them stood back to back with bayonets in hand, ten Eighth Route Army soldiers might not be able to take them down.

However, the reason why the Japanese were able to defeat many enemies alone was not only because they were well-trained, but also because they were well-fed, warmly dressed, well-nourished, and physically strong.

On the other hand, the Eighth Route Army had trouble getting enough food due to the shortage of supplies. They were all skinny and pale from hunger, so they were no match for the Japanese devils.

But with Xu Yang's travel through time, everything changed.

In the past few months, the Eighth Route Army, at least the various regiments of the 386th Brigade, no longer have to worry about supplies. In addition to greatly improved weapons and equipment, the soldiers' physique is also getting stronger at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In just a few months, we may still not be able to reach the physical fitness of the Japanese, but the gap has narrowed a lot.

As for the stabbing ability.

Because of the shortage of ammunition, the Eighth Route Army paid special attention to bayonet fighting and training never stopped.

In terms of bayonet fighting ability alone, they are not inferior to the Japanese.

Now, their physical fitness has caught up, and their military strength is more than ten times that of the Japanese.

This was the first time for the Eighth Route Army to fight such a lucrative battle, and it would be difficult for them to fail!
Then, the Japanese soldiers of Kameda's regiment discovered in despair that the bayonet tactics they were so proud of were completely ineffective at this moment.

Perhaps their individual bayonet fighting abilities still held the upper hand, but faced with an enemy that was ten times their number, the Japanese soldiers of Kameda's regiment were unable to focus on one thing while neglecting another, and were forced to defend, without even the chance to attack with their swords.

As long as he showed the slightest flaw, he would be stabbed with several bloody holes by the Eighth Route Army surrounding him.

Seeing that the situation was not right, the Japanese could only form a defensive formation with three or more people standing back to back.

As a result, although the Eighth Route Army that surrounded them had an absolute advantage in numbers, they really had no good way to deal with them for a while.

The Japanese defense was almost impenetrable. Some Eighth Route Army soldiers tried to launch an attack, but ended up suffering some losses.

However, the Eighth Route Army was clearly not without a solution. If knives didn't work, then they would use guns.

Seeing this, some grassroots cadres took out the pistols from their waists and fired at the Japanese soldiers who were formed in a turtle formation.

“Pah pah pah pah!——”

A burst of gunfire rang out, and the Japanese's turtle shell was instantly shattered into pieces.

The Japanese soldiers who had not been shot at immediately became anxious, because they knew that this formation could remain undefeated against bayonet attacks for a short period of time, but when facing pistols, they would be sitting ducks and could only wait to die.

So, after the surrounding Japanese soldiers communicated with each other in bird language, they launched a counterattack one after another.

As the turtle formation broke, the Japanese soldiers began to fight on their own and were soon divided and surrounded by the Eighth Route Army soldiers, and knocked to the ground one after another.

massacre!

At this point in the battle, it had completely turned into a one-sided massacre.

Many Eighth Route Army soldiers did not even get a single target, and all the Japanese soldiers from Kameda's regiment were wiped out.

The angry soldiers could only vent their anger on the corpses of the Japanese devils.

As a result, after a lot of random attacks, they actually found a few Japanese soldiers pretending to be dead, and then all the soldiers became interested.

Kong Jie used to be involved with Li Yunlong.

Having seen Li Yunlong's methods, this guy was very uncultured when cleaning the battlefield, even stripping off the Japanese's loincloths.

But he really liked it!

So Kong Jie quickly raised his voice to stop them, saying: "Comrades, you can repair the wounds, but please don't damage our uniforms, otherwise we will have to sew them again.

When finishing off the enemy, try to avoid their bodies and aim for their necks and heads instead."

At this time, Li Yunlong came over and just heard Kong Jie's voice. He smiled and joked, "Old Kong, you have learned well. You are almost as good as I was back then."

Kong Jie said angrily: "Get lost!"

Soon, Ding Wei, Blind Cheng and Xu Shengji also rushed over.

Li Yunlong asked: "Everyone, do you want to expand the results of the battle?"

Ding Wei understood Li Yunlong's implication and asked, "Old Li, do you mean to attack Shouyang?"

Blind Cheng was stunned and said, "Attack Shouyang County? But the battle plan that the brigade commander made for us does not include this link?"

Li Yunlong: "Does the battle plan given to us by the brigade commander include the attack on Yangquan?"

Blind Cheng was stumped by the question.

Li Yunlong went on to say: "We still took Yangquan. Although Shouyang County is not as big as Yangquan, it is also an important county on the Zhengtai Railway. There are also Japanese arsenals in the city, and there are also many local tyrants and evil gentry.

The most important thing is that the Kameda regiment came out in full force, which means that Shouyang County is at its most empty, with at most one Japanese gendarmerie and a battalion of puppet troops. "

"Now, I plan to attack Shouyang County. All spoils will still be divided equally among the families. Who is in favor and who is against?"

If it were in the past, Blind Cheng would definitely not accept Li Yunlong's proposal.

However, he had just conquered Yangquan and tasted the sweetness of success.

The piece of fat meat of Shouyang is right in front of him, so how could Blind Cheng give it up to others?

"Okay! Count me in!" Blind Cheng gritted his teeth and was the first to agree.

Kong Jie hesitated and said, "Lao Li, don't you have a radio? Why don't you ask the brigade commander for instructions? Otherwise, if we are punished for disobeying orders on the battlefield, we won't be able to bear it."

Kong Jie's words immediately won unanimous agreement from everyone: "Yes, Lao Li, sending a telegram won't delay us for a few minutes. Besides, it's still early, so we still have time."

Li Yunlong said with a straight face: "The situation on the battlefield changes rapidly. If everything needs to be reported step by step and wait for the superiors to conduct deductions and then give instructions, it will be too late.

This is the reason why it is said that a general is not always subject to military orders when he is away from the battlefield.

The brigade commander did not punish us when we attacked Yangquan without authorization. Now that we continue to attack Shouyang, he will be even less likely to blame us.

And don't forget the character of the brigade commander. If he knew we were going to attack Shouyang, he would definitely send people to count the spoils in advance. By then, we would have no chance to hide any more."

After a pause, seeing that they were still hesitating, Li Yunlong changed the subject and continued, "How about this, if you are afraid of taking responsibility, then I will do it and continue to be the commander of the front line with great difficulty.

When the brigade commander blames you, you can put all the blame on me, saying that I was in charge."

Blind Cheng saw through Li Yunlong's tricks at a glance and said unhappily, "Come on, Lao Li, you said that the 3rd Infantry Regiment of the Japanese was your mortal enemy. I didn't compete with you for the position of commander of the front line this time, but you got addicted to being an official and even wanted to promote yourself."

"That's right, even if it's a rotation, it should be our turn." Xu Shengji immediately echoed.

Ding Wei and Kong Jie simply looked like they were enjoying a good show.

If Li Yunlong can convince Cheng Xiazi and Xu Shengji, then it would not be a big deal to let him command again. It won't cost him anything anyway.

Li Yunlong: "I'm just asking you guys, from what you said, you are willing to follow us, Old Li, to fight Shouyang, right?"

Blind Cheng: "We are willing to fight Shouyang, but we are not going with you, Old Li. We can still fight without you, Old Li. This point must be made clear."

"That's right." Xu Shengji immediately echoed.

Li Yunlong: "Hey! Old Cheng, from what you said, without us, Old Li, you can still capture Shouyang County? Just relying on the few broken Type 92 infantry guns in your hands?
You know, the city wall of Shouyang County is not shorter than that of Yangquan, and is even stronger."

Blind Cheng was speechless for a moment.

In other words, Li Yunlong was so rich that he dared to call the Type 92 infantry gun a broken gun.

You know, for the Eighth Route Army, it is no exaggeration to say that this thing is a strategic weapon.

Many regimental combat units of the Eighth Route Army did not even have a mortar, let alone the Type 92 infantry gun.

Even the New 60st Regiment during the Cangyunling period only had one mm mortar, which was scrapped after the battle of Cangyunling.

This shows how precious the Type 92 infantry gun is.

However, it was almost impossible to break through the city fortifications of Shouyang County with the Type 92 infantry gun.

But the 105mm caliber cannon in Li Yunlong's hand is different.

Li Yunlong said arrogantly: "As long as you have the ability to break through Shouyang's city defense, then it's fine for you to be the commander.

But if you don't have the ability, then just listen to my command and you will get all the spoils you deserve.

How about that? Think about it?
If you are not willing, we can take Shouyang with just our independent regiment.

And I believe that if I give the opportunity to the brothers of the new regiment, they will be very happy to accept the command of our Lao Li."
