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

Chapter 25: By mistake, the Japanese and the 358th Regiment suffered an unexpected disaster, and Chu Yunfei was hated
"Toji Kai!"

“Taoci, change it!——”

The Japanese took advantage of the sharp decline in the firepower of the 358th Regiment and rushed over again across the mountains and fields, soon reaching within a range of 200 meters.

Some Japanese soldiers raised their guns and pulled the trigger from time to time. Their shooting skills were accurate, and almost every shot could accurately kill an officer or soldier of the 358th Regiment.

More Japanese soldiers continued to charge forward, attempting to break into the defensive positions of the 358th Regiment and engage in hand-to-hand combat with them.

Not only the Eighth Route Army and the National Army liked hand-to-hand combat, the Japanese were also very keen on it.

The Eighth Route Army and the National Army were poor, especially the Eighth Route Army. Even in the main regiment, each soldier could only get 5 bullets during war. Machine gunners had slightly more, but still far less than the Japanese machine gunners.

Therefore, in the battles between the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese, even if it was an ambush, once they had the upper hand, they would only fire three rounds at most, and then they would definitely blow the charge and launch an attack.

The Japanese were keen on hand-to-hand combat, also because they were poor. Japan was a country with few resources and was extremely dependent on imports for strategic materials such as steel, oil and rubber.

The Japanese headquarters allocated most of the resources to the navy, and the army only received a small portion, which led to irreconcilable conflicts between the army and navy.

Because the supplies they were allocated were limited, the Japanese high-ranking officials had to be thrifty and budgeted carefully, so that the infantry would strive to eliminate the most enemies with the least consumption, and thus they developed extremely accurate marksmanship.

It was precisely because of the poverty and lack of supplies that the Japanese officials and high-ranking officials used militarism and the spirit of Bushido to brainwash the Japanese.

Under the brainwashing of the Japanese soldiers and the top brass, the Japanese soldiers thought that a true warrior must dare to fight the enemy with a bayonet, and then they trained themselves to be good at bayonet fighting, arrogantly thinking that they were invincible in hand-to-hand combat...

On the battlefield.

Seeing that the Japanese were about to rush onto the position, Chu Yunfei finally led the more than 1000 people on the mountain and arrived in time.

"Brothers, beat him, beat him hard!"

Everyone rushed forward and kept firing. Dense bullets poured out in rows. The Japanese soldiers who rushed to the front screamed and fell down in rows.

The Japanese had no choice but to retreat.

The soldiers of the 358th Regiment took the opportunity to launch a counterattack, chasing the retreating Japanese and attacking them all the way.

They subconsciously thought that there were Japanese fleeing soldiers blocking their way, and the Japanese machine gunners in the rear did not dare to open fire rashly.

Unexpectedly, when the Japanese soldiers retreated 300 meters and were about 200 meters away from the machine gun position, they suddenly lay down on the ground together as if they had agreed. Then, the sound of gunfire like popping beans was heard in front of them, followed by dense bullets pouring down like a storm.

The whole process seems very fast, but in fact it is completed in just a few seconds.

The officers and soldiers of the 358th Regiment were caught off guard and became a group of sitting ducks. A large number of them fell down in the blink of an eye.

"Get down! Get down quickly!"

The well-trained soldiers of the 358th Regiment, under the command of some officers, immediately lay on the ground, and a positional shootout began between the enemy and our side.

"Whoosh whoosh!——"

Bullets rained down continuously between the enemy and us, and people were shot and fell to the ground from time to time. Some were Japanese soldiers, but more were soldiers from the 358th Regiment.

The Japs' well-trained marksmanship gave them the advantage at this moment.

Chu Yunfei was not keen on fighting. He quickly made adjustments, commanding his troops to fight and retreat, putting some distance between them and the Japanese, and then taking advantage of the terrain to engage in battle with them.

"Tu Tu Tu!"

"Da da da!--"

“Snap! Snap! Snap! —”

"Boom! Boom boom boom!—"

The sound of dense gunfire resounded throughout the foot of Black Cloud Mountain. Both the enemy and us were filled with anger, and we fought back and forth with full firepower.

The fierce battle lasted from noon to night. Even though Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment had the advantage of manpower and terrain, it was always at a disadvantage. It was not until nightfall that Chu Yunfei was finally able to lead his troops to get rid of the devils and escape from Heiyun Mountain in a panic by taking a small road.

……

Cangyun Town.

Fang Ligong, the chief of staff who stayed behind in the regiment headquarters, kept waiting, but by 12 o'clock in the morning, he still hadn't seen Chu Yunfei and the others return. A look of worry gradually appeared on his face, and he began to get restless, pacing back and forth, studying the defense map to pass the time, and drinking a cup of strong tea to refresh himself when he felt sleepy.

A staff officer from the regiment said, "Commander, please go back and have a rest. I will be watching over you here."

"Yes, Sir, you should go back and have a rest first. We will notify you immediately as soon as there is any news." Others also echoed.

Fang Ligong waved his hand and said, "I'm not sleepy. I feel uneasy until the commander comes back. I always feel that something bad will happen. If I had known earlier, I should have volunteered to go to Black Cloud Village."

Seeing that Fang Ligong had made up his mind, the others stopped trying to persuade him and could only stay up late with him.

After an unknown amount of time, a guard rushed in from outside. He stood up and saluted and reported: "Report, Commander, the front post called to report that the commander and his men are back."

"Oh, really?"

Fang Ligong was delighted, the sleepiness on his face disappeared, and he immediately stepped out to greet him.

We walked all the way to the town entrance and finally picked up Chu Yunfei and his friends who had returned.

Seeing Chu Yunfei and Qian Bojun looking embarrassed, with a large number of wounded soldiers following them, Fang Ligong quickly asked: "Commander, what happened? Are those bandits in Heiyun Village so difficult to deal with?"

Qian Bojun said dejectedly: "Sir, these are not the bandits from Heiyun Village, they are the devils."

Fang Ligong was even more confused: "Devils? Didn't you go to Black Cloud Mountain? How did you run into the devils?"

Qian Bojun sighed, "Oh! Don't mention it. When we led our troops to Black Cloud Mountain, the Eighth Route Army had already taken the lead, wiped out the bandits in Black Cloud Village, and seized our regiment's supplies."

"At this time, a group of Japanese soldiers suddenly appeared at the foot of Black Cloud Mountain. We had a fierce exchange of fire with them, and nearly a thousand of our brothers were killed or wounded. It was not until after dark that we were able to get rid of the Japanese soldiers under the cover of night."

Chu Yunfei waved his hand and said, "The Japanese casualties were not small. Compared with the last battle on the road and the field, our regiment's performance this time is already very good.

Moreover, our supplies did not fall into the hands of the Japanese invaders, which is good news for us. At least there is a possibility of getting them back. "

After a pause, Chu Yunfei instructed again: "Brother Ligong, you should immediately investigate and find out which unit of the Eighth Route Army attacked Heiyun Village."

"Yes!" Fang Ligong stepped forward and agreed.

……

Compared with Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong, the commander of the 22nd Infantry Regiment of the Japanese Army, Kasahara Koizumi, was also extremely depressed.

He led his troops to defeat the 358th Regiment and successfully occupied Heiyun Village, but all he got was the village reduced to ruins and the corpses of bandits all over the ground.

As for the supplies they lost, not a single hair was found.

The only consolation was that we seized hundreds of rifles while cleaning up the battlefield, so the trip was not in vain.

in the dark.

Chief of Staff Jiro Nojiri approached Kasahara Koizumi and reported, "Captain, the casualties have been counted. In this battle, the Imperial Army suffered a total of 580 casualties, including 376 killed, 204 wounded, and 92 seriously injured."

"In addition, through the enemy's soldier identification card, it has been confirmed that the number of this China-Jinsui Army is the 358th Regiment directly under the Second War Zone!"

"Baka!" Kasahara Koizumi cursed angrily, and then said, "Immediately find out where this unit is stationed."

Nojiri Jiro: "The 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army is currently stationed in Cangyun Town..."
