Anti-Japanese War: I have unlimited assistance

Chapter 215: Holding a sniper!

In the evening, Li Yunlong led the 1st Battalion of the New 1st Regiment, plus the Guard Company and the 4th Company of the 2nd Battalion, on a rapid march towards Zhengtai Road.

They had to set up an ambush before the Japanese army column arrived at Songjia Village.

The Independent Regiment and the New Third Regiment also arrived at their designated locations under the cover of night.

After receiving the order, the Japanese soldiers who were ambushing at Gaocheng Mountain quickly moved from Gaocheng Mountain to Shuishen Mountain, five kilometers northeast of Mengxian County.

The Japanese's actions were discovered by scouts from the New 1st Regiment stationed near Gaocheng Mountain.

Based on the actions of the Japanese, Ding Wei rearranged the ambush plan, set up a pocket formation, and waited for the Japanese to get in.

Around 3 o'clock in the middle of the night.

Led by Xiong Shanglin, the Sharp Blade Commando reached the city wall and began to infiltrate.

It was still the warrior codenamed Monkey who used his unique skills to climb up the city wall, fixed the grappling rope tightly on the battlements, and threw the rope down.

The soldiers of the Blade Commando quickly climbed over the city wall, followed by the commandos of the reconnaissance platoon and the special forces company.

But something went wrong when the special forces company's commandos were climbing over the city wall.

The Japanese and puppet troops increased their patrols of the city walls at night. A small Japanese patrol team headed towards the climbing position.

Seeing that there was no escape, Wei Qiang, the special forces company commander who led the troops on alert, gave the order to open fire first. He who strikes first is the strongest, and those who strike later will suffer.

More than a dozen submachine guns rang out, and more than a dozen Japanese soldiers fell in a pool of blood, but the gunshots also exposed the commando team of the special forces company.

The Japanese and puppet troops on the city wall were awakened instantly, and the battle was about to break out. There were only a dozen soldiers from the New 1st Regiment's Special Forces Company on the city wall.

Many soldiers were still climbing when Wang Hongcai heard the gunshots. He immediately led the reconnaissance platoon to the city wall to support the special forces company.

As soon as the gunshots and explosions were heard, Kong Jie knew that the infiltration troops had been exposed and immediately issued the order to attack the city.

The soldiers of the New 1st Regiment launched a fierce attack on the Japanese and puppet troops in Mengxian County from all directions.

The battle is imminent!
Dense shells and bullets hit the city wall, and the shells and bullets of the Japanese and puppet troops on the wall flew out. Machine guns and artillery on both sides opened fire on each other, and the battle became fierce.

Water God Mountain.

When Major Ishii Takaharu, commander of the 3rd Infantry Battalion of the Japanese Army, heard the sound of gunfire coming from the direction of Mengxian County, he couldn't help but look happy:
"Yoshi, the Eighth Route Army finally attacked the city."

Around him, the Japanese officers and soldiers all showed joy on their faces.

The captain of the 7th Infantry Squadron asked, "Major, should we attack immediately and destroy the Chinese troops?"

"Not urgent."

Ishii Takaharu said coldly, "The Eighth Route Army won't be able to capture the county town anytime soon. Let the county's military police and the Locust Army fight them for a while. Radio operator, report the situation here to the regiment commander immediately."

Japanese radio operator: "Hi."

Soon, the sound of a telegraph ticking could be heard in the woods.

……

Yangquan.

The 77th Infantry Regiment of the Japanese Army.

The staff officer on duty received the telegram and woke up Colonel Li Dengxing who was sleeping soundly.

"Nani?"

"Did the Eighth Route Army attack Meng County?"

When Li Dengxingyi heard the news, he not only did not show an expression of disbelief, but was instead surprised.

"Hi."

The duty officer handed over the telegram in his hand and said affirmatively: "This is the telegram just sent by Major Ishii, the commander of the 3rd Infantry Battalion."

Li Dengxing took the telegram and read it, his face full of smiles:
"God bless my Li Deng Xingyi, and God bless the locust army."

"Immediately connect to the Meng County Locust Army Military Police Headquarters. I want to speak to Major Yan Cang."

"Hi."

The duty officer strode over to the phone, grabbed it, and cranked the handle rapidly:

"Meet the Meng County Military Police."

A moment later, the duty officer reported to Li Dengxing: "Colonel, the phone line is disconnected. It is very likely that the line has been cut off."

"Yoshi."

When Li Dengxing heard the news, he was not angry, but instead exclaimed "good".

When the Eighth Route Army attacked Mengxian County, they would inevitably cut off the telephone lines. It would be abnormal if they did not cut off the telephone lines.

"Everything makes sense now. The Eighth Route Army didn't monitor the Locust Army's phone calls, and the 3rd Infantry Battalion wasn't exposed."

Li Dengxing looked at the watch on his hand and the time was exactly 3: in the middle of the night.

"Immediately send a telegram to Major Ishii, ordering him to set out down the mountain and attack the Eighth Route Army at 4:00 in half an hour."

Duty Officer: "Hi."

Watching the back of the duty staff officer walking quickly towards the telegraph room.

The smile on Li Dengxing's face became more and more intense, and his face with a few wrinkles was almost broken by laughter.

When the Eighth Route Army was attacking the city, a locust army suddenly appeared from behind and attacked them.

At this time, the locust army and locust army in the city also rushed out of the city and launched a counterattack against the Eighth Route Army.

That scene...should be beautiful.

……

At the same time, about 10 kilometers west of Shouyang County.

Song Family Village.

Li Yunlong had led a battalion and two companies to the designated location and was ready for an ambush.

More than an hour ago, Boss Lin sent a telegram saying that the Japanese military train transporting equipment and raw materials had departed from Taiyuan and was expected to arrive at Shouyang Station around 4:20 in the middle of the night.

And Boss Lin and his helicopter team are on the way.

"Captain."

"All troops have arrived at their designated locations. The guard company is in ambush five kilometers from Shouyang County, ready to block any reinforcements from the Japanese puppet army."

"I've sent engineers to both Taiyuan and Yangquan to plant mines and explosives on the roads and railways, and to blow up the tracks at 4 o'clock sharp."

Next to Li Yunlong, Zhang Dabiao, carrying a machete on his back, reported to Li Yunlong.

"good."

Li Yunlong used a flashlight to check the watch on his wrist:

"It's 3:45 now. We still have about 15 minutes until the Japanese train arrives. Are the explosives buried on the tracks safe?"

Zhang Dabiao said: "No problem, the engineers have buried 30 kilograms of smokeless explosives on the rails, using wires to detonate them, ensuring that the Japanese armored vehicles and rails will be blown up immediately."

Li Yunlong nodded with satisfaction: "Okay."

"Captain."

Zhang Zhilian, the radio operator, walked up to Li Yunlong with a telegram in his hand:
"The special forces company was discovered by a Japanese patrol while infiltrating, and the independent regiment's siege began prematurely."

Li Yunlong's expression remained unchanged: "The battle in Meng County will not affect our ambush of the Japanese army column here."

After putting away the telegram, Li Yunlong bent down and came to Zhao Gang, who was holding his sniper rifle and preparing for battle.

Li Yunlong had the expression and tone of a profiteer: "Xiao Zhao, I want to discuss something with you."

Zhao Gang turned his head and asked in a low voice, "Captain, what are you discussing?"

Li Yunlong said, "How about letting me use your sniper rifle in this battle? I'll give you a Mauser 98K sniper rifle."

Li Yunlong read the battle report of the last time the Sharp Blade Commando ambushed the Japanese 39th Brigade Headquarters and the Guard Squadron in Shimen City.

Zhao Gang mentioned in the battle report that the bullet from this sniper rifle hit the Japanese's head and it exploded like a watermelon.

This made Li Yunlong itchy.

Although the power of 20mm machine gun can also achieve the same effect.

However, the 20mm machine gun is not as accurate as a large-caliber sniper rifle, so it is still difficult to hit the Japanese in the head.

"Captain, no, no."

Zhao Gang flatly refused, "After using this sniper rifle, I don't even want to touch the Mauser 98K sniper rifle."

Zhao Gang was speaking from his heart. Before Boss Lin gave him the sniper rifle, he thought the 98K sniper rifle was the best sniper rifle in the world.

It has a long effective range, great power, high accuracy, reliability and stability. Equipped with a 6x scope, it can accurately hit the target at a distance of 800 meters. It is much more powerful than the Japanese Type sniper rifle!
But since using this large-caliber sniper rifle, the Mauser 98K is nothing compared to it.

Seeing Zhao Gang's refusal, Li Yunlong couldn't help but spit out foul language: "Damn it, I'm not robbing your gun. Your sniper rifle is a gold ingot. If you won't borrow it, I'll put you in solitary confinement."

"I didn't violate any discipline," Zhao Gang muttered. "Why are you putting me in solitary confinement?"

"Because I'm your regiment commander," Li Yunlong said firmly, "You have to lend it to me today, whether you want to or not."

"A higher-ranking official can crush anyone. I can lend it to you, but I can only lend it to you this once."

Zhao Gang was speechless. This man was not a regimental commander at all, but a complete scoundrel. In his heart, this sniper rifle was more precious than gold ingots.

Just wait and see. If I become the political commissar of the new regiment one day, you will be in trouble.

"Haha, that's more like it."

"Huzi, give Staff Officer Zhao a 98K sniper rifle."

Zhao Gang gave up his position and Li Yunlong took the Barrett sniper position. Li Yunlong put the butt of the gun on his shoulder and aimed forward. All he saw was darkness and he could not see anything.

However, Li Yunlong had come here on horseback to conduct reconnaissance and knew that this location was one of the best sniping spots.

"This young scholar Zhao Gang is quite talented."

Zhao Gang took a 98K sniper rifle from Hu Zi, and when Li Yunlong crawled into the sniper position, he raised the 98K and pointed the muzzle towards the railway.

Zhao Gang said, "Captain, let's make a bet."

"Okay." Li Yunlong said, "How do we bet?"

Holding a sniper, Li Yunlong is full of confidence. Is he afraid of you, a new recruit?
Zhao Gang said, "Just like last time, let's see who kills more devils. If I lose, I'll buy you a drink."

Li Yunlong raised his eyebrows: "What if I lose? Will I buy you a drink?"

"No," Zhao Gang said, "If you lose, Captain, you have to give up drinking for six months. If I lose, not only can I buy you some drinks, you can drink as much as you want."

Li Yunlong said, "Zhao Gang, you really think you're the political commissar of the New 1st Regiment and are controlling my life?"

Zhao Gang asked, "Just tell me whether you dare to gamble or not?"

"Let's bet." Li Yunlong said confidently, "With this sniper rifle, I definitely won't lose. Come on, buy me a drink, kid."

It was almost four o'clock in the middle of the night. At this moment, a bright beam of light appeared in the distance in the sight of Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang on the slope. They both saw the headlights of the Japanese armored vehicles at the same time.

Li Yunlong turned the sniper rifle, looked through the sniper scope, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"coming."
