"Division Commander, you are right... The Independent Regiment is indeed playing a trick on us by attacking in the east and attacking in the west... Their troops lurking in the northwest two directions of the station have taken action!" the chief of staff said flatteringly.
"Our opponent is very smart!" Lieutenant General Sato said seriously.
"Not only did they hide a large number of artillery in the northwest and two directions, they also placed cavalry units there!"
"The cavalry has a fast assault speed and can quickly rush through the damage range of the poison gas bombs, minimizing the damage caused by the poison gas bombs!"
"Immediately transfer four infantry squadrons from the reserve, divide them into two, and march quickly to reinforce the northwest directions."
"Block them in front of the blocking position at all costs and create opportunities for poison gas bombs to destroy them!"
Lieutenant General Sato's attention shifted to two directions northwest of the station at the same time...
The artillery raid there lasted only two minutes... Before the explosion ended, hundreds of cavalrymen came out from their hiding spots at a very fast speed...
There was a burst of gunfire from the blocking position at the same time, but because the shooting distance was too far and the cavalry assault speed was too fast, their blocking effect was very poor...
If a bunch of bullets are swept out, you will be lucky if you can kill one or two cavalry!
But the little Japs in the blocking position also exposed their position by firing.
Mortars and grenades fired shells at them one after another, doing everything possible to weaken their firepower and kill their troops...
Even as they were fighting fiercely and evenly, the artillery fire from two directions in the southeast of the battlefield still did not stop.
More than fifty members of the special operations team, dressed in Japanese uniforms, were like more than fifty ghosts, slowly moving towards the blocking position.
Under the cover of darkness, it is difficult to spot them as long as you don't get too close.
The blocking position directly ahead was filled with flames and smoke. Almost all the surviving Japs were holding their heads and hiding in the trenches, completely unaware of the existence of the special forces.
When they reached thirty meters in front of the formation, the artillery shells falling from the sky seemed to have eyes, slowly extending towards the back of the blocking position...
Huang Yu threw out the grenade he had prepared without hesitation, followed by more than fifty team members.
Two infantry squads were stationed in the trench where the special forces attacked. Half of the squad had been lost due to artillery fire, and eighty or ninety Japanese soldiers were left. Just as they were about to get up from the trench and take a few breaths, more than fifty white-smoking bullets were fired.
Grenades and grenades appeared right above their heads...
"Boom boom boom..."
Some grenades exploded in the air, and some grenades exploded after landing...
The flying fragments quickly intertwined into a dense steel storm in the trenches. As long as any little Japs were affected, they would be killed or injured...
In the blink of an eye, more than half of the surviving Japanese soldiers in the trenches were killed or injured...
"Charge forward... use the submachine gun to deal with the remaining enemies and rush into the Japanese camp..." Huang Yu ordered as he rushed forward, the submachine gun in his arms spitting out tongues of flame as he moved forward.
As soon as the three Japanese soldiers in front showed their heads from the trench, the hail of bullets beat them into pieces...
In less than two minutes, more than fifty members of the special operations team crossed the blocking position and followed Huang Yu straight to the artillery position...
"Rumble..."
The artillery fire that had extended to the interior of the station once again covered the blocking position that Huang Yu had just broken through.
The two little Japs who wanted to reinforce the fighting point had to stop and stare.
Because we don’t know exactly what happened at the crossfire point and the troops couldn’t get through, we can only assume that the blocking force successfully repulsed the independent regiment’s attacking troops, thereby attracting a new round of artillery fire from the independent regiment.
Little did they know that this was just a small way for Huang Yu to hide his traces.
More than 50 special forces members formed an infantry squad, carrying their 38-meter caps on their backs, and hiding their submachine guns and pistols in their arms. They ran towards the artillery position openly and openly, holding crooked handles.
No Japanese would have thought that there were enemies in their camp, and the independent regiment was just pretending to attack the defense line. The camp was full of troops and patrols moving back and forth, it was a mess...
Undoubtedly, it created excellent conditions for Huang Yu to raid the artillery positions.
After running for five minutes, he crossed the Japanese internal defense line and more than ten mortars mounted 500 meters away came into Huang Yu's field of vision at the same time.
Dozens of Japanese gunners gathered around the mortars, ready to join the battle!
Under normal circumstances, a mortar squadron has at least eighty gunners and ammunition handlers.
However, in order to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the front-line troops, Lieutenant General Sato depleted all available ammunition handlers in the team, leaving only about forty gunners and ammunition handlers in the entire mortar squadron.
In addition, the artillery position is located in the middle of the station and is unlikely to be in danger. Sato did not even send them a guard force...
Looking around, dozens of gunners and ammunition carriers were equipped with less than ten self-defense rifles.
Huang Yu felt that God was helping him tonight, and he looked forward to the order: "Secure the artillery position as quickly as possible...try not to use the gun..."
The battle went very smoothly. The Japanese gunners never thought that the "friendly troops" coming towards them were enemies. They thought they were sent by their superiors to help them.
Without any precautions, they didn't realize the danger until the special forces showed their bayonets and daggers...
More than fifty special operations team members faced off against more than forty gunners with almost no combat effectiveness at close range, and the results can be imagined...
Many gunners equipped with self-defense weapons died without even touching their guns...
Huang Yu was not greedy for merit. After killing a Japanese soldier, he began to search for the targets of the special operations team.
The artillery squadron was on standby, ready to cover the independent regiment's attacking troops with poison gas at any time. There was a box of shells placed next to each mortar...
Huang Yu had never seen poison gas bombs and didn't know the difference between poison gas bombs and ordinary artillery shells, but he recognized the skull logo on the outside of the box.
Take another look at the cannonball in the box. Although it looks exactly like an ordinary cannonball, its fuse is painted red...
He immediately made a judgment: "This is the gas bomb we are looking for..."
"There are five poison gas bombs in a box. There are a total of twelve boxes of sixty bombs here...one box per person, take them all back..."
"Others, let's look around to see if there are any boxes with skulls painted on them, so hurry up!"
"The artillery shells of the heavy artillery battalion are limited and cannot last long..."
"Batalion Commander, there are still twenty boxes of poison gas bombs here..." Duan Peng shouted from a distance.
"Take them all back!" Huang Yu ordered without hesitation...
After taking a look at his watch, he continued the order: "Prepare to retreat...Give me the signal gun...Let the heavy artillery battalion and the assault battalion cover us to get out of the Japanese camp!"
After the Japanese artillery position due south was captured, the threat of poison gas bombs in this direction was gone.
The assault battalion can storm the Japanese defense line without gas masks, leaving other little Japs on the position with no time to reinforce the breach created by the assault battalion until the assault battalion successfully breaks out of the Japanese army station...
On the high ground next to the Japanese division headquarters, Lieutenant General Sato was particularly happy to see the cavalry battalion of the independent regiment being blocked by the troops.
But soon he noticed something was wrong.
The cavalry offensive looked particularly fierce, but this fierceness was more like an act.
