Chapter 15 Battle of Yangcun (End)

"Fire."

At the heavy machine gun position in the center of Yangcun, Luo Youzhi, commander of the second company of the second battalion of the Independent Regiment, was the first to give the order to fire.

Luo Youzhi joined the army in early 1937 and has rich combat experience. What is more valuable is that his command level is also very good. After training at the headquarters, he was a candidate for the battalion commander of the independent regiment, so Kong Jie asked him to command the most important heavy machine gun position.

The heavy machine gun opened fire, and a surrounding light machine gun and rifle also opened fire. For a time, a fire net formed and fell on the first combat team of Yamamoto's special agent team.

When they met, one Japanese was killed and another was injured.

If it were other Japanese troops facing such firepower, they would inevitably retreat to defend, and then call in grenades to eliminate the enemy's firepower points. This process usually takes a few minutes, depending on the combat terrain and the type of troops involved.

"Fire lightly with the heavy machine gun, maintain suppressive fire, and the others will stop firing."

Based on his past experience in fighting the Japanese and the troops' shooting discipline that had to be introduced due to a serious lack of ammunition, Li Xin issued an order for the heavy machine gun to slow down its rate of fire and for the rest of the troops to cease fire.

But at this time, what they faced was not the second-rate division of the First Army, but the Yamamoto special agent team. In terms of average combat quality, this group of old Japanese soldiers were stronger than the Japanese soldiers of the Class A division, and much better.

At the moment when the gun fired, the remaining twenty Japanese in the first combat group showed their true fighting qualities as a special agent team.

While subconsciously looking for a bunker, the submachine guns in the hands of the six Japanese soldiers opened fire, suppressing the heavy machine gun a hundred meters away. Although they were in a hurry, they maintained a relative accuracy, and the heavy machine gun position made a popping sound.

The rest of the Japs were in groups of three, expanding to the two wings. During this period, they continued to fire with their submachine guns, suppressing the 2nd Battalion and 1st Company.

"So fast!"

The Japs' reaction speed, powerful firepower, and accuracy shocked Luo Youzhi, and he keenly realized that something was wrong:

"Everybody call me."

Faced with the rain of bullets, Luo Youzhi had no choice but to order the heavy machine gun to turn its muzzle to suppress the five Japanese. At the same time, he asked the others to fire together again, and the entire company opened fire.

After all, the firepower of a single heavy machine gun is too weak to form a crossfire to support each other. Even if there is a light machine gun and a rifle to supplement the firepower, it cannot maintain continuous fire suppression in a range.

Facing the spread of Yamamoto's No. 1 combat group, the heavy machine gun position was quickly suppressed by the Japanese. Casualties quickly occurred, and the heavy machine gun position had to be relocated and the defense position shrunk.

What Luo Youzhi didn't notice was that when the firepower of the heavy machine gun weakened for the first time and the others stopped shooting, on the left side of his heavy machine gun position, which was the right wing of the Japs, three Japs were lying low and had already broken through the fire net.

Make a detour in the dark and approach the heavy machine gun position from the flank.

The distance between the two sides was only over a hundred meters. Even though the three Japs took a detour, even on a battlefield filled with stray bullets, it only took them less than three minutes to approach the flank of the heavy machine gun position, which was thirty meters away.

"Grenade!"

"Lie down!"

On the heavy machine gun position, three Japanese grenades accurately flew into the bunker. Although the loader reacted quickly and threw one grenade back immediately, the remaining two still exploded in the position.

boom···

In the dazzling explosion fireball, a Type 92 heavy machine gun was blown up. Luo Youzhi was also blown away by the shock wave. His head hit the wall, blood flowed from his forehead, and he fainted.

Several soldiers from the 2nd Battalion and 1st Company hurriedly carried Luo Youzhi back to the rear of the position.

but,

Among the three Japanese special agent team members who were approaching, one of them was also shot down by an independent regiment soldier hiding in the trench who saw the opportunity.

····

After sending the signal, the Third Battalion, Second Battalion, and First Battalion of the Independent Regiment began to quickly compress the encirclement, but in less than three minutes, even the closest battalion had just arrived on the left side of Yangcun.

There is a huge gap between the two sides in terms of weapons and equipment and the quality of soldiers.

"What!"

On the right front side of Yangcun, Kong Jie, who was leading his troops to shrink the encirclement, was stunned when he saw the explosion on the heavy machine gun position, so much so that he almost stumbled and fell to the ground while running at high speed.

Less than three minutes after the battle started, the heavy machine gun position in the center of Yangcun was destroyed by the Japanese?

What kind of devil is this?

Cold sweat dripped down his back.

"Damn it!"

Then Kong Jie stared, holding the big blade in his hand:

"Come after me!"

No matter who the devil is, don't even think about leaving today. Commander Kong Da's eyes were wide open with murderous intent.

Although Leng Jin was at the forefront at this time, Kong Jie remained calm in his heart. He knew very well that the enemy's firepower was very strong, and his own heavy machine guns were destroyed, and the troops were seriously short of ammunition. He could only close the distance and rely on the large number of people to carry out night combat and hand-to-hand combat.

Just have a chance.

·····

"Baga!"

Yang Village, on the left edge, watching the heavy machine gun in the center of the village being destroyed, and listening to the gunshots coming from three sides, Yamamoto Kazuki's face turned livid, and he gritted his teeth and spit out a Baga.

At this time he saw it,

An encirclement was specially prepared here, and he was within this encirclement at this time.

The enemy knew in advance that he was coming!

But how is it possible?

"retreat."

Yamamoto, who was in the middle of the team, looked at this scene and gave the order to retreat with a livid face.

"Colonel."

A special agent team on the side reported to Yamamoto Guizi:

"There are a large number of enemy troops in the rear, left, and front. The third combat group has exchanged fire with the enemy in the rear, and our group has also exchanged fire with the enemy's troops on the left."

"There is also an enemy position on the cliff on the right."

This devil also specially reminded me at the end.

"Baga!"

Yamamoto Kazuki gritted his teeth again and spit out a Baga.

Yamamoto was not worried about his own safety. Although he was surrounded, with the poor firepower of these eight groups and the fighting qualities of the soldiers, it was easy for him to break through.

What makes him angry is,

The ambush circle here seems to indicate that his combat operation was leaked and the enemy was well prepared.

But how is this possible?

How could his combat operations, his actions that perfectly implemented confidentiality measures, be leaked?!

What went wrong in that link?

But apart from his team members, only the top brass of the First Army knew about this operation.

"Which way to retreat?"

The Japs team member who was delivering the order was stunned for a moment before asking.

"Towards····"

Yamamoto took a deep breath, suppressed the shock and anger in his heart, looked around the battlefield, and then pointed to the northeast:

"northeast."

At this time, Yamamoto was pointing at the location of Kong Jie and the Second Battalion of the Independent Regiment.

"Hi."

Subsequently, the Yamamoto Special Agent Team once again demonstrated its superb combat qualities. There were three combat teams. One team was the forward and broke through head-on. The other team either detoured or interspersed. The last team was to support and fill in positions. With the firepower advantage, it was a breeze.

It broke through Kong Jie's defense line.

Feeling the huge gap between the enemy and ourselves, Kong Jie rationally gave up the pursuit.

After the war, statistics showed that the Yamamoto special agent team left behind three corpses, while the independent regiment paid 150 sacrifices.

that night,

After Kong Jie gave the order to clean up the battlefield, he sat alone outside the regiment headquarters in a dazed and lonely manner... for a long, long time.
Chapter completed!
