Bright Sword: An eight-year-old boy led a group to fight the Japanese invaders

Chapter 96: The Japs accept their fate and hold on until help arrives

"Report, Commander, the special forces squadron of the independent brigade is here to see you!"

Li Yunlong turned around and looked. He had heard of this special forces squadron for a long time. It was the special operations squadron that saved the independent regiment in the battle of Yangcun.

Kong Jie had just returned from the battlefield. When he heard that the special forces squadron was coming, he immediately ran out of the command post.

"Where are the people from the special operations squadron?"

In the distance, Ling Hua, wearing camouflage combat uniform and covered with weapons, came over with his three platoon leaders.

"Hello, Commander. Ling Hua, the commander of the first company of the special operations squadron of the independent battalion, reports to you!"

Kong Jie looked at the four murderous young men in front of him and was so happy that he didn't know what to do.

"Hello, I am Kong Jie, deputy head of the independent regiment. Welcome!"

When Ding Wei and Li Yunlong came out, they saw Kong Jie holding Ling Hua tightly.

"Old Kong, pay attention to your image. You are the deputy head of the independent regiment after all!"

Li Yunlong couldn't stand Kong Jie's naive look.

Ding Wei asked, "What mission does Captain Ling have to come here at this time?"

"The Japanese have reached the ambush circle, and our independent battalion's troops are right behind them. It can be said that the encirclement has been formed.

The captain is worried that the Japanese will become desperate, so he asked us to help! "

"Help?" Li Yunlong was not happy, "We don't need help, aren't they just a group of devils?

I remember the time when I, Lao Li, led the New 1st Regiment to fight the Japanese Sakata Regiment and made them flee like crazy! "

When Ling Hua heard the change in the expression on Sakata's face, Ding Wei interrupted Li Yunlong before he could say anything.

"Old Li, don't talk about the past anymore. Besides, the situation here is different.

The Japs are trying to escape, and we don't have much experience in fighting desperate attacks, so it's just right that they come to help us!"

As they were talking, the artillery battalion that the Japanese had brought out with great difficulty came to fire.

The artillery battalion directly under the 39th Brigade was equipped with 12 75mm field guns. These guns were basically useless at Wujiaopo, otherwise they would have been smashed into pieces by the artillery battalion of the independent battalion.

The Japanese 75mm mountain gun is the Type 6 mountain gun, which fires 7.1kg grenades with a maximum range of km.

So after Sekigahara Roku gave the order, the 12 75mm mountain guns briefly tested firing and then began to attack the positions of the two regiments.

The 6-kilogram grenade made a 7-8 meter-wide pit when it landed on the battlefield, and the soil near the point where the shell landed was lifted up high.

Even though the strong shock wave was partially blocked by the curved trench, it still blew dirt all over the faces of the Eighth Route Army soldiers.

Fortunately, Ding Wei, Li Yunlong and others attached great importance to this operation and dug the trenches in place, otherwise the artillery bombardment alone would have killed many people.

When the Japanese artillery attacked, the infantry battalion had already prepared for the attack. The Japanese all over the mountains and plains quietly moved to 150 meters away from the Eighth Route Army position and stopped.

As soon as the bombardment ended, they would launch a charge.

Ding Wei and Li Yunlong were in a makeshift shack, watching the Japanese bombard the battlefield, and they couldn't help but mutter in their hearts,

What on earth did the independent battalion do to these devils that made them so scared?

In the past, the Japanese would bombard first and then attack, but they had never bombed for half an hour without stopping.

Just when the Japanese were about to stop, Wang Ye finally caught up with them.

"Liu Changjian, destroy the enemy's artillery positions. These devils can really help. They refused to use their artillery at Wujiapo.

"I finally got the chance this time, didn't I?"

The rocket artillery battalion of the independent brigade had a great time fighting today. Before Liu Changjian gave any orders, the soldiers had already started to set up positions.

In particular, the observer had already dragged the scouts to the front to find the Japanese artillery positions.

As soon as Liu Changjian returned to the rocket artillery battalion, the communicator found him with the coordinates.

"Battalion Commander, these are the coordinates of the enemy's artillery position. We need to speed up.

The observer in front said that the Japs have no intention of stopping and seem to want to use up all their shells!"

Liu Changjian's face straightened, and he got on the truck with the coordinates. Ten minutes later, all the coordinates were adjusted.

"emission!"

"Woooooooo..." The rocket launcher flew up into the sky from the slide rail, making a sharp whistling sound.

In an instant, 160 rockets were launched into the air, and the smoke left by the burning tails enveloped the entire rocket launcher position.

Dense rocket launchers in the sky flew towards the Japanese artillery positions in no particular order.

The first person to discover the incoming rockets was Guan Yuanluo, who was looking at the Eighth Route Army's position through a telescope.

Seeing the earth and wood flying everywhere in the opposite position and the occasional corpse flying out, his grim expression finally eased a little.

Then he looked up and saw countless artillery shells aimed at his artillery position. He took off his telescope and stared blankly at the rockets streaking across the sky.

"Your Majesty, what kind of devil is this?"

Even though he had seen this kind of scene in the morning, he was still frightened by the dense artillery shells and his legs went weak.

Japanese military lore states that the more powerful a weapon is, the more difficult it is to transport.

Why was the Eighth Route Army’s powerful artillery unit able to keep up with their escape?

No one answered Sekigahara Roku's question, because his artillery position was already covered by dense rockets.

"boom……."

A loud explosion was heard, and the Japanese soldiers who were waiting for the shelling to end turned back in confusion, just in time to see the artillery position turned into a sea of ​​fire.

Ding Wei, Li Yunlong, Kong Jie and others, who had better vision than the devils, were even more frightened by the hellish scene.

Even though Lijiaopo and his men had seen it once before, they were still shocked by the powerful firepower output this time.

Li Yunlong muttered, "If my troops had this kind of firepower, I would dare to attack Taiyuan."

Sekigahara Roku was in no mood to care about the situation at the artillery position. He immediately ordered all the Japanese soldiers who were preparing to charge to come back, and then issued an order to hold on and wait for reinforcements.

There are 10 miles between Luanyun Pass and Wangye Independent Battalion, and the Japanese need places to defend everywhere.

Then simply build some defensive fortifications and hope to get away with it.

Sekigahara Roku found Maekawa Iruma and Tomu Ryosuke and said, "Everyone, the enemy is more powerful than we imagined.

I originally thought that with our strong mobility, we could shake off the enemy's heavy firepower, but who knew their transport speed was so fast?

The troops have reached the most difficult moment. Maekawa-kun, you should immediately lead the staff to destroy all confidential information.

Mr. Tengshi, I will hand over the important task of holding the troops and waiting for reinforcements to you. I hope we can hold on!"

"Hey!" Tenmuro Ryosuke nodded and asked, "Sekigahara-kun, does the 77th Regiment's flag need to be burned?"

Guan Yuanliu did not hesitate, "Burn it. No matter what, we can't let the Eighth Route Army seize it. We have already lost many regiment flags.

I wonder how many regiments the Imperial Army will cancel this time?"
