The main force of the Japanese squadron quickly approached the gentle slope, preparing to build a grenade position in the rear and cover the main charge with artillery fire.
Kong Jie's information transmission through the forward observation post on the tree canopy was like having a pair of eyes hanging in the air, and he could clearly detect every move of the Japanese.
The howitzer and the forward observation post have discussed this before, so there is a tacit understanding.
The moving position of the Japanese was based on the crater made by the Japanese on the gentle slope.
It is really easy for an experienced gunner like a howitzer to send the shells to the crater area that the Japanese bombed before.
When the more than a hundred Japanese soldiers formed a line, the center of the line happened to pass by the previous bomb craters.
The forward observation post on the commando side quickly passed on the information.
"Fire!" the howitzer was ordered, and even the two backup personnel used it. The four grenade launchers fired simultaneously at the crater area where the Japanese squadron passed.
Moreover, it was a rapid firing method. In less than twenty seconds, the four grenade launchers fired more than a dozen shells.
The shells fell like swaying sparrows.
When the Japanese heard the all-too-familiar sound of shells being fired, it was too late.
More than a dozen shells hit the center of the Japanese squadron, which had no time to evacuate. In an earth-shattering explosion, the smoke was blown away by the wind, and only stumps and broken arms were seen on the ground. At a glance, three or four people were killed on the spot.
Ten Japs.
The canopy observation post reported the Japanese casualties with hand signals.
The howitzer slapped his thigh excitedly. This was the first time he had used artillery shells to kill so many Japanese.
"It's so happy, it's so happy, you damn little devils, come and die! Grandpa can't wait to give you dozens more cannonballs to try!"
Down the gentle slope.
After receiving the aftermath of the shell explosion, the Japanese who were knocked down but not dead stood up unsteadily and looked around, it was so tragic!
The Japanese captain looked even more horrified.
Who would have thought that the Eighth Route Army had such sharp weapons as grenades hidden in their hands? The most important thing is, these Eighth Route Army soldiers must have a pair of flying eyes. Why did they act like this when their main force had just approached the gentle slope?
Accurately fired artillery shells?
Angry, frightened, shocked, and even fearful, the Japanese captain did not dare to delay any longer and quickly ordered the remaining teams to quickly approach the gentle slope and use the blind spots on the gentle slope to avoid the opponent's artillery fire.
Gently sloping flanks.
Yamamoto, who led the team closer, also heard the violent explosion. Although he didn't know the specific situation, he could probably guess that the captain might have suffered a hidden loss.
Thinking of this, Yamamoto waved his hand again and ordered the team to speed up.
Yamamoto's idea was very good. As long as his team successfully detoured from the flanks and launched a surprise attack, even if it temporarily suppressed the Eighth Route Army's machine gun and grenade firepower behind the gentle slope, the captain could take advantage of this gap and rush up the gentle slope with the main force of the squadron.
.
The rapid pace will naturally make you less meticulous.
Yamamoto's anxiety affected the entire team, even if it was only a small point, it still doomed the operation to a disastrous failure.
The two special agent team members in the front row unknowingly exploded the booby trap that Cao Zheng and his men had planted on the right side of the gentle slope while quickly moving in.
Cao Zheng is a cautious person, and since he learned the craft of booby traps, his craft of laying mines has become more and more exquisite.
Exquisite arrangement, perfect disguise, when the enemy breaks the almost transparent cord of the booby trap, unless he is moving slowly and pays special attention to his steps, he will never notice it easily.
The two special agent team members who tripped the booby cord continued to move forward quickly, followed by the enemy soldiers behind them.
It wasn't until the grenade started to emit thick smoke that the special agent team soldiers who continued to follow behind were aware of it.
"Booby traps, hide!"
The Japs who noticed it shouted and fell down immediately. The other Japs fell down reflexively. The delay time for the grenade explosion also ran out. There was a loud bang and the weeds and dead trees where they were were exploded into powder.<
/p>
Fortunately, most of these grenades were left behind by the soldiers of Squad 7, and the ones made in the border area are indeed not very powerful.
Coupled with the fact that the Japanese special forces reacted extremely quickly and fell down early, no one died.
However, this booby trap may not be very harmful, but it is extremely insulting.
The shrapnel fragments scratched the faces of the two Japanese soldiers seven or eight meters away. There were no anti-fragment tactical vests on their faces.
And the name of one of these Japanese is Kazuki Yamamoto.
In Yamamoto's eyes, the murderous intent at this moment was extremely intense. He did not expect that the eight paths in front of him would be so difficult.
A roundabout sneak attack on the flank is based on concealment. From the moment the booby trap explodes, it means that the sneak attack plan has failed, at least it cannot take advantage of the surprise attack.
It's just that Yamamoto can't just lead his team back.
Yamamoto and the secret service team both want face.
The captain dispatched the main force of the squadron to charge without any haste to cover the sneak attack on the flanks. As a result, the flanks were defeated and retreated in disgrace. What do you want the captain to think?
Those who lose again and again are not called special agents, they are called failure teams.
Thinking of this, Yamamoto no longer hesitated. Since he was exposed in advance, he would simply attack head-on.
"Advance dispersedly, be careful of booby traps!" Yamamoto gave the order, and used a small shortwave radio to transmit the same order to the special forces attacking on the other side.
Right wing blocking position.
The explosion of booby traps from the right wing woke Cao Zheng up, and a smile quickly appeared on Cao Zheng's lips.
"The leader really knew what was going to happen. This little devil really found him from the flank!"
Two concealed light machine gun fortifications were quickly set up and ready to go. The other two team members each used trees to hide, waiting for the arrival of the Japanese who were attacking from the flank.
Time passes quietly.
In the right-wing position, the confrontation between the two sides quickly broke out.
The unique gunshot of the German-made MP38 submachine gun belonging to the Japanese army that attacked Yangcun sounded again.
Cao Zheng's expression changed slightly, "What a good family, it's those Japs again!"
Kong Jie, who directed the central firepower to suppress the Japanese charging troops on the gentle slope, also heard the sound of the submachine gun belonging to the special agent team.
The canopy observation post has not yet delivered the Japanese grenade.
It seems that when the Japanese were preparing to build the grenade, they were directly hit by the firepower of the howitzer and Lao Zheng. The Japanese learned the lesson and simply hid the grenade under the dead corner of the gentle slope.
Neither side can do anything to the other.
On the gentle slope, the sound of the commando attack was also heard. The Japanese squadron leader even launched a charge regardless of the cost of casualties in an attempt to cover the surprise attack of Yamamoto and his party.
However, under the firepower blockade of four light machine guns, and with the assistance of grenade firepower, the Japanese climbed up the gentle slope, and after leaving the blind spot, they could directly launch artillery fire.
The Japanese can only charge in rows, but they can't charge forward at all.
Kong Jie, who knew the combat effectiveness of the special agent team, immediately ordered: "Four light machine guns are enough on the gentle slope. Howitzers and Lao Zheng each have two grenade launchers to quickly support the defense of the left and right wings. Xizi, Lao Zhao, and Ye
People..."
After thinking about it, in the previous battle, the young student Wenjie also showed quite good marksmanship, shooting one enemy at a time.
Kong Jie added: "And Wenjie, the four of you are good at shooting. The Japanese in the middle line can't rush up. The four of you also divide into two teams and quickly support both sides!"
"Yes!" Ye Min and Wang Xikui responded quickly. They also recognized the special agent team and knew how terrifying this group of devils was.
As for Zhao Gang and Wenjie, although they were a little confused, they still carried out the order without hesitation...
