I fought guerrilla warfare in the Yimeng Mountains during the Anti-Japanese War

A little after eight o'clock, the devils began to attack, first with artillery fire. Chen Feng saw through the telescope that the devil artillery began to prepare, so he called everyone into the ear holes to defend against artillery fire. Although the Sichuan Army soldiers did not know what these people were like, they still listened to the call and hid in the ear holes. Someone from above secretly gave an order to protect these people. The Sichuan Army soldiers were all wondering, where is this young master coming to gild! Don't you know that this is the frontier position with the highest casualty rate! However, this is the death order of the brigade commander. Everyone admires the brigade commander very much. There has never been any discount on the order. Seeing that several people came, they were busy and looked very professional. The most excessive one person had a telescope, and another person had two guns, one long gun with a mirror, and one short gun that no one had seen before. I couldn't help but wonder, what kind of young master is this! If the brigade commander didn't pay attention, I really wanted to use a strange short gun to test the firepower.

The Japanese opened fire. Chen Feng listened silently to the sound of the artillery. This was the Japanese he encountered on his way to Zou County the day before yesterday. They had no heavy artillery, no Type 92 artillery, only a few indirect-fire artillery, which went silent after firing ten rounds. Chen Feng stuck his head out, and the soldier in charge of the alert shouted:

The brothers came out and the Japs came up.

The Sichuan Army hiding in the ear holes quickly took up combat positions. Chen Feng saw from the sniper scope that the Japanese had entered the 400-meter line. He raised his hand and gestured to the team members, indicating that they could fire freely.

Bang, bang.

A burst of gunfire rang through the battlefield. The commander of the front line was furious. Who fired without his order? Such a long distance was a sheer waste of bullets. Usually, they would fire after getting within the 200-meter line. Seeing that it was Chen Feng and his party who fired, he was a little annoyed, but he didn't know what to say. Suddenly, the soldier next to him shouted:

Company commander, look!

The company commander looked forward and saw the squad's second round of free shooting just started. There was another burst of bangs, and several of the Japanese soldiers in the front fell backwards, causing chaos in the formation. The company commander was shocked. Who was leading the attack?

The squad had practiced their marksmanship to perfection, and today they had a chance to use it. They didn't even bother to shoot the commander and the sergeant first, they just aimed and shot. They had just advanced less than a hundred meters when dozens of Japanese soldiers fell, including the squad leader, the commander and several sergeants in the front. The Japanese soldiers did not retreat, but were aroused to ferocity, shouting "Ban Cai!" The speed of advance was increased, and the squad continued to shoot calmly. After advancing 200 meters, the company commander ordered the soldiers to start shooting. The Sichuan Army was really afraid of poverty, and never wasted bullets. They could hit even if they were 200 meters away, but the hit rate was too low, so they were reluctant to fire.

The Japanese Type 99 light machine guns came up and were set up about 400 meters away from the position. Although the Sichuan Army's weapons could reach them, they ignored the Type 99 light machine guns as they were too far away to hit accurately. The Japanese machine gunners shot very accurately. Their bullets suppressed the trenches and caused dust to fly in the high places. The commandos certainly could not give up this opportunity to show their faces. In the battle, the enemy's machine gunners were the first target of sniping. After a round of salvos, the Type 99 light machine guns collectively misfired. The auxiliary shooters hurried to make up for it, but before they could aim and fire, they were also shot in the head and killed.

The company commander saw it clearly. These were not young men who came to gild their reputation, but a group of gun gods. Each team member had superb shooting skills. The interval between shots was no more than five seconds, and the time for loading five bullets was no more than ten seconds. They were so calm when shooting that they did not even check whether they hit the target after shooting. They immediately aimed at the next target. They were so calm that it was terrifying. Their hit rates were all so high that the company commander found it more terrifying the more he watched.

The Japanese rushed another hundred meters. Only half of the more than two hundred Japanese were left. All those above the rank of sergeant were killed. Soldiers continued to fall. Looking at the trenches right in front of them, they felt powerless and turned around and retreated together. The national army immediately stopped shooting. It would be even more difficult to fight if they ran backwards, so they had to save bullets. The squad continued to kill. Even though there were only six rifles, they had to reload after five shots. Under such almost 100-percent killing, the Japanese also suffered heavy casualties. From running back from one hundred meters to five hundred meters, the gunfire behind was still continuing. The lagging teammates were still falling down. No one dared to look back. The gunfire stopped after they ran seven hundred meters. The surviving Japanese looked at each other. Only forty or fifty of the more than two hundred soldiers returned. Such casualties were too terrible.

Major General Fukuei Shinpei had been observing through the telescope. His predecessor Lai Guqi was recalled to the base camp, and his predecessor Akashiba Yaezō died in the artillery attack. He had been very careful, wearing the uniform of an ordinary soldier, and no more than three people were allowed to be with him. Through observation of one round of attack, he had a very clear understanding of the situation on the front line. He could not blame the soldiers for retreating without rushing to the position. There were snipers on the Chinese battlefield, and there was more than one. It was a pity that there were no heavy artillery, otherwise these hateful guys must be eliminated. As an excellent battlefield commander, Fukuei Shinpei understood the role of snipers or sharpshooters. Often two snipers could suppress a squad that dared not look up. In today's environment, snipers were simply life harvesters. Fukuei Shinpei ordered the troops to suspend the attack. If they could not find a suitable way, they would fall into the trap of the opponent's refueling tactics. His two thousand soldiers were not enough to consume.

The attacking troops were asked to retreat and rest, while the rest of the troops were on alert. Fukuei Shinpei ordered the communicator to send a telegram to the division, saying that his attacking troops had encountered many snipers and that without heavy firepower attacks, the casualties would be too great, and he hoped that the division headquarters would provide heavy firepower support.

When Isogai Lianjie received the telegram, he was secretly annoyed because of the repeated attacks by the Lone Wolf Commando. He was almost a joke now. Although Lai Guqi took the blame, no one could change the fact that Lai Guqi was under his command. Looking at the telegram sent by Fukuei Shinpei, he was a little angry. Has the Imperial Japanese Army reached this point? A few snipers stopped half of the brigade. Just as he was about to order the signalman to scold, a light suddenly flashed in his mind. The Sichuan Army has snipers? Even the ace troops of the National Army don't have many! Could it be? The more he thought about it, the more possible it seemed, and the more excited he became. Before Lai Guqi returned to China, he had had a long conversation with him. At the 150mm howitzer position, although the soldiers' limbs were blown everywhere, when Lai Guqi personally checked, he found that many bodies in the tent area had been shot in the eyebrows. The sneak attack team must have many sharpshooters. Isogai Liansuke felt excited. It must be them, it must be them, the Lone Wolf Commando, and they said it was a civilian organization. Now they have joined the Sichuan Army, right? He finally caught them.

Liansuke Isogai thought about it seriously for a while. Even if the enemy was really the Lone Wolf Commando, it might not be possible for them to charge forward with the two thousand men led by Shinpei Fukuei. Besides, they would run away if they charged forward. It would be best to have heavy artillery. Even with only a dozen shells, it would be able to cause damage to them. If it worked well, perhaps their entire army would be wiped out. However, he remembered that the Fukuei Brigade did not bring heavy artillery!

After being excited, Rensuke Isogai felt helpless. Without heavy artillery, there was no way to guarantee the killing of the Lone Wolf Commando. Unless he could mobilize tens of thousands of troops to surround the Longshan position as quickly as possible, he would have to catch the turtle in the jar. Oh, right, planes, bombers to cover the bombing. How could he have forgotten about the bombing? However, it was difficult to mobilize the air force without a suitable reason. Rensuke Isogai ordered the signalman:

Send a telegram to Fukuei Shinpei, ordering his troops to immediately launch an attack on the front line of Longshan, regardless of losses, and to withdraw after attacking 100 meters. Send more observation posts and make sure to confirm the number of Chinese snipers, and report immediately after confirmation.

The signalman went out, and Rensuke Isogai began to contact the commander of the North China Region, Hisaichi Terauchi, and asked him to let the air force at Nanyuan Airport be prepared. If there were really six or seven people on the opposite side, then they had to be bombed once no matter what. These members of the Lone Wolf Commando were now his nightmare. The huge cannons, artillery shells, trains, and warehouses. Just thinking about these gave Rensuke Isogai a headache. If this continued, he might be recalled to the headquarters!
