Anti-Japanese War: I have unlimited assistance

Chapter 304 Breaking the defense!
Taniguchi Motojiro did not call for air support.

There is no need to call for air support to deal with a group of Eighth Route Army guerrillas.

The Japanese also had very limited combat supplies.

Aerial bombs are strategic-level ammunition.

However, even if Taniguchi Motojiro called for air support, no planes came to support.

Because Taiyuan Airport was bombed again.

Wang Chengzhu first led the howitzer battalion to concentrate fire on the Japanese helicopter landing pad.

The runway was bombarded again using the Xu Jin barrage tactic.

The airport runway was dotted with huge bomb craters.

The Japanese suffered countless casualties and almost all their planes were destroyed.

This time the Japanese learned their lesson and set up ammunition and oil depots in underground warehouses.

This wave of artillery fire failed to destroy the Japanese aerial bombs and fuel.

However, the Japanese hangar was blown up like a rotten tree.

Although these hangars are concrete structures, they are built to specifications that can withstand 75mm artillery shells.

It consumed a large amount of strategic materials such as cement and steel bars from the Japanese.

But the new regiment used 105mm howitzers for artillery fire.

The newly built hangars of the Japanese devils simply couldn't bear the weight.

After the bombardment was completed, the artillery observation team and howitzer battalion quickly retreated with the support of the Blade Commando and the Cavalry Battalion.

By the time Yamamoto led the special forces team to Qinglong Town by car, the Eighth Route Army's howitzer battalion had already left.

Soon, Colonel Kuroshima Morita arrived with the cavalry regiment.

The short arms and legs and small stature of the Japanese cavalrymen looked somewhat out of place riding on the tall Japanese horses.

In addition, several thousand Japanese and puppet troops were rushing here.

"Colonel Yamamoto, where are the Eighth Route Army?"

Kuroshima Morita rode over and asked in a murderous tone.

During the defense of the Zhengtai Railway, the Hei Dao Cavalry Regiment encountered the Eighth Route Army who robbed military trains and attacked the important military town of Yangquan. More than half of the Hei Dao Cavalry Regiment was killed or wounded.

After replenishment, the Kuroshima Cavalry Regiment restored its strength, and Kuroshima Morita felt that he was back in shape.

He vowed to destroy the main force of the Eighth Route Army and avenge his defeat.

"Going that way."

Yamamoto's expression was expressionless, but he showed a hint of alertness, and he looked around from time to time.

He pointed to the end of the road.

Judging from some remaining shell boxes and traces of hoes, the Eighth Route Army built an artillery position here.

"Why didn't your special forces team chase them?"

Kuroshima Morita sounded dissatisfied.

The order he received was to reinforce the special forces team, which means that the special forces team was the main force.

Yamamoto ignored Kuroshima Morita, and two special agents came over carrying a frightened puppet soldier.

Yamamoto pulled out his pistol, pointed it at the puppet soldier's head, and asked sternly, "How many people are there in the Eighth Route Army? How many cannons do you have?"

The puppet soldier's legs went weak and he almost collapsed to the ground: "Several hundred people, more than a dozen cannons, dozens of cars, and cavalry."

Yamamoto's Chinese is quite good: "How long have the Eighth Route Army been gone?"

The puppet soldier's legs were shaking like sieves: "About, about, twenty minutes..."

"boom!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yamamoto pulled the trigger.

A bloody hole appeared on the puppet soldier's forehead, and he fell backwards with horror and disbelief on his face.

"Colonel Kuroshima, your cavalry regiment is fast. Please let your cavalry regiment pursue first, and the special forces will be here soon." Yamamoto still had some concerns, fearing that he would be ambushed by the Eighth Route Army Special Forces.

Today he was not wearing a colonel's uniform, but a special operations uniform like ordinary special agents, just for fear of being sniped by the Eighth Route Army.

The other side has a large-caliber sniper rifle, and the opponent's sniper is an expert who can smash the target's head from 1.5 kilometers away.

Regardless of whether others are afraid or not, Yamamoto is a little afraid.

Kuroshima Morita cursed him inwardly as a piece of trash, then shouted loudly: "Cavalry Regiment, pursue!"

Then Kuroshima Morita led the cavalry regiment and rumbled along the road in pursuit.

As the horse's hooves rolled, smoke and dust quickly rose.

When the cavalry regiment disappeared from view, Yamamoto Ikki waved his hand coldly: "Chase!"

"Hi."

More than 80 fully armed special agents jumped onto the tarpaulin-covered trucks and followed closely behind the Black Island Cavalry Regiment.

Not long after, Yamamoto heard an explosion coming from the front.

"Colonel, it looks like an S mine."

In the cab, Yamamoto Kazuki was driving the Dodo truck, and Goro Kodo, who was sitting in the passenger seat, identified the weapon based on the sound of the explosion.

"A chain of mines. At least 15 S-mines exploded simultaneously. The Black Island Regiment's vanguard cavalry squad was wiped out."

After narrowing his eyes and thinking for a moment, Yamamoto gave a more precise number.

At the same time, Yamamoto's expression became more alert.

Those who can lay chain S mines are all experts, most likely from the Eighth Route Army Special Forces.

Although they have never fought against the Eighth Route Army Special Forces, the strength they showed was stronger than that of the special forces.

A few minutes later, the special forces' five small trucks caught up with the Black Island Cavalry Regiment.

As Yamamoto expected, more than 30 vanguard cavalrymen of the Kuroshima Cavalry Regiment entered the chain minefield.

The Japanese cavalry and Japanese horses fell to the ground.

Broken limbs and pieces of flesh were everywhere.

The S mine is extremely powerful. The projectile can jump to a height of one meter and explode, covering a large area.

"Colonel Yamamoto, the Eighth Route Army left less than half an hour ago and they've planted mines on the road. My cavalry can't get through." Kuroshima Morita's face turned grim. The Eighth Route Army was truly cunning, planting mines in unexpected locations.

Moreover, it is a chain mine, which is difficult to guard against.

"Please ask the engineers to clear the mines first."

Yamamoto glanced around with a vigilant look.

The Eighth Route Army also buried mines and booby traps on the artillery positions, but they did not hit the special forces team and were all eliminated by the special forces team.

Yamamoto knew that the Eighth Route Army must have laid mines on the road, so he asked the Kuroshima Cavalry Regiment to explore the way.

"Pfft!"

Suddenly, without any warning, a blood mist burst out from the two agents standing next to each other almost at the same time, and they fell in a pool of blood.

A group of Japanese special agents, including Yamamoto and Goro Kodoka, reacted immediately and rolled behind the cover in different postures.

The Japanese soldiers of the Kuroshima Cavalry Regiment reacted much slower. They dismounted from their horses and crawled to avoid the attack.

"boom!"

Just then, a loud and clear gunshot was heard.

"Hilltop at one o'clock, 1200 meters away, open fire!"

Yamamoto Ikki was tense all over and spoke sternly towards the Kuroshima Cavalry Regiment.

The special forces were equipped with MP38 submachine guns, which had an effective range of only 200 meters and could not reach the enemy snipers at all.

"Baga, fire!"

Under the command of Kuroshima Morita, the Japanese cavalry quickly set up the Type 44 rifle and Type 92 heavy machine gun and opened fire at the position mentioned by Yamamoto.

But at this distance, even the bullets from the Type 92 heavy machine gun would fly wildly.

What's more, the effective range of the Type 800 heavy machine gun is only meters, and the Japanese don't know the specific location of the Eighth Route Army sniper.

The Japanese riflemen and machine gunners fired indiscriminately and didn't even get close to the Eighth Route Army snipers.

Instead, several Japanese machine gunners were killed, and even several Type 92 heavy machine guns were damaged.

"Baga, have you had enough of the cavalry artillery squadron's show? Why don't you quickly set up the guns?"

Amid Kuroshima Morita's angry curses, the Japanese artillerymen of the cavalry artillery squadron quickly set up the Type 97 90mm mortar.

The Eighth Route Army sniper apparently also saw the Japanese artillerymen setting up the guns.

With every muffled groan, a blood mist shot out and a Japanese artilleryman fell in a pool of blood.

"Colonel Kuroshima, the enemy only has one sniper. When will your cavalry charge forward?" Yamamoto shouted while clinging to a rock, not daring to show his head.

"Yes, the enemy only has one gun, and it's not even a machine gun. What are we afraid of?"

At Kuroshima Morita's command, the Japanese cavalrymen jumped on their horses and rushed forward with their cavalry rifles raised.

……

"damn it!"

"If the Japanese cavalry doesn't charge, I can put two hundred of them down today!"

At the sniper position on the top of the mountain, Wang Xikui saw the Japanese cavalry rushing towards him, and the first thing he said was a traditional Chinese quintessence.

For this combat mission, Wang Xikui borrowed Li Yunlong's large-caliber sniper rifle.

Anyway, the large-caliber sniper rifle would just sit there and wouldn't lay eggs, so Li Yunlong lent it to Wang Xikui.

He originally wanted to hunt down Yamamoto Ikki, but Yamamoto Ikki and the guys from the special forces were too alert.

Even if they jumped out of the car, most of them stood behind the Douding truck, leaving him no chance.

Boss Lin has given the New 1st Regiment an intelligence document about the Yamamoto Special Forces.

Li Yunlong then gave the task of destroying Yamamoto's special forces to the Blade Commando.

Wang Xikui asked, "Xiao Wu, how many devils did I kill just now?"

Observer Zhang Xiaowu replied, "Twenty-one."

Wang Xikui said, "No, it should be twenty-three, and two of the shots hit two targets!"

Zhang Xiaowu said, "Deputy Captain, the Japanese cavalry are coming."

Wang Xikui said: "Retreat!"

The two men quickly stood up, put on homemade ghillie suits, and carried large-caliber sniper rifles to the reverse slope of the mountain.

"drive!"

First, he placed the large-caliber sniper rifle on the horse's back, then turned over and rode the captured Japanese horse. He grabbed the reins and whipped the horse whip hard, and the Japanese horse immediately ran wildly.

In the rear, the Japanese Type 97 mortar opened fire, and rumbling explosions rose on the top of the hill.

Soon Wang Xikui and Zhang Xiaowu met the instructor Yang Shaoqing who came to pick them up.

Yang Shaoqing asked, "Xizi, Xiaowu, are you two okay?"

Wang Xikui said, "No, the Japs' bullets and shells can't hurt us. Why are you here?"

Yang Shaoqing continued, "The captain was worried, so he sent me to lead the First Combat Squad to pick you up. Did you kill Yamamoto?"

Wang Xikui said: "Yamamoto was too vigilant. He had no chance and killed two Japanese special forces soldiers and 21 Japanese machine gunners and artillerymen."

The sound of Type 44 rifle gunfire came from the distance.

"The Japs are catching up." Yang Shaoqing said immediately, "The second combat team has buried mines on the road ahead. You two should follow us."

With the support of Yang Shaoqing and the first combat team, Wang Xikui and Xiao Wu retreated quickly.

A large force of Japanese cavalry came up with a rumbling sound.

Just after turning a corner, the Japanese horse's legs stepped on a chain of landmines.

After a deafening explosion, dozens of Japanese cavalrymen fell in a pool of blood.

The Japs didn't dare to chase them anymore.

Yamamoto and Kuroshima had no choice but to issue the order to retreat.

By the time the engineers slowly came over and finished removing the mines, the Eighth Route Army had already returned to their base.

"idiot…"

When Yoshio Shinozuka heard that the Eighth Route Army artillery unit had successfully escaped, his cavalry had lost nearly a hundred people, and the airport had suffered heavy losses, he was so angry that he broke through the defenses on the spot.
