The clouds were so thick tonight that the moonlight could not reach the earth at all, so it was pitch black the whole night.
It was still very cold in Shanxi in early March. In addition, it snowed two days ago, so there was still a layer of ankle-deep snow on the ground. In this cold weather, the independent regiment soldiers who had been training for a day in Yangcun, except
Except for a few sentries, almost all the soldiers fell asleep.
Less than a mile away from the entrance of Yangcun, a team of about eighty people was marching quietly along a path. Except for the crunching sound of footsteps on the snow, the whole team was moving.
No one made any sound.
What is particularly noteworthy is that in addition to all of this team carrying fully automatic weapons, even the helmets on their heads are coated with matte paint, which will not reflect light even in the moonlight.
This is a newly formed special forces unit belonging to the Japanese First Army in Shanxi and led by Colonel Yamamoto Kazuki.
Although there are only more than 80 people, the establishment is not small. It belongs to the Japanese army's regiment system, which is equivalent to the regiment-level organization of the Chinese army.
Although this small force was on foot, its speed was not slow at all. It soon reached the entrance of Xiaoyang Village. Kazuki Yamamoto, who had two grenades hanging on his chest like all the special attack team soldiers, signaled the team to stop.
He called several team leaders to him, "Please note that our current location is Yangcun, and Daxia Bay is still two kilometers away from here.
Now I order the first combat group to open the way in front, the second combat group to cover, and the third combat group to be the rearguard and sneak around here.
Target, the Eighth Route Army Headquarters in Daxia Bay... get ready for battle!"
"Hi!"
Several Japanese combat team leaders bowed, responded and left immediately.
The Japanese soldiers of the first combat group quietly reached the entrance of Yangcun and were about to go around it. Unexpectedly, they were discovered by the sentry posted at the entrance of the village and shouted: "Who... the password!"
But what answered him was a bullet.
"Da da da……"
With the sound of gunfire, the sentry fell to the ground, and soon the battle started suddenly amidst the loud gunfire.
At the beginning of the battle port, the Japanese first combat group immediately showed their skillful combat skills. With mutual cooperation, they fired and threw grenades. Several Eighth Route Army soldiers in charge of sentries soon fell into a pool of blood.
At this time, all the soldiers of the Independent Regiment were awakened by the sound of gunfire. The soldiers got up one after another, picked up their weapons, and rushed out of the house toward the place where the gunfire rang out.
But because they fought in a hurry, and because they didn't know the size and location of the incoming enemy in the dark, and because all the Japanese special agents were armed with automatic weapons, they suffered heavy losses once they exchanged fire.
This battle was so sudden that the soldiers of the Independent Regiment were shot and fell to the ground in the dense rain of bullets. Even the political commissar of the Independent Regiment was shot and sacrificed during the battle.
"what happened!"
With the sound of gunshots, Kazuki Yamamoto knew something was wrong.
At this time, a second lieutenant hurriedly came to report: "Your Excellency Colonel, the first combat group was discovered by China's sentries and is now exchanging fire with the Eighth Route Army!"
"Bagya Road!"
Yamamoto Kazuki was so angry that his teeth chattered, but he was also a decisive person and immediately ordered: "Order the first combat team to withdraw from the battle!"
The second lieutenant asked doubtfully: "Your Excellency Dazuo, is this combat mission going to be cancelled?"
Yamamoto Kazuki glared at him fiercely: "As a special operations team member, don't you know that in this case, the sound of a gunshot means that the fighter plane has disappeared? Since the Chinese know that we are coming, we are now
What’s the point of going to Daxia Bay?”
"Hi!"
The second lieutenant bowed and waved his hand back, and the special agents surrounding them immediately turned around and began to retreat towards the way they came.
According to the original trajectory, although Yamamoto Kazuki and his special agent team exposed their target in advance during this battle, they suffered almost no losses. They still escaped unscathed after causing nearly a hundred casualties to the independent regiment. But this time
But it was different, because there was a group of uninvited guests around them.
Gao Hongming was immediately awakened when the gunfire rang out in Yangcun.
It was extremely quiet in the middle of the night, and even a small sound could travel far. When he heard the sound of gunshots, Gao Hongming, who had not yet slept, almost jumped up and rushed out of the tent.
"Master..."
Dabao ran over panting.
"Where did the gunfire come from?"
Dabao shook his head: "I don't know either, but the gunfire came from the southwest."
At this time, Wu Chengfeng also rushed over, "Sir, there was gunfire from the southwest. I took a look and found that the place where the gunfire rang out should be a place called Yangcun."
"Yangcun? This name seems familiar." Gao Hongming thought for a while and stretched out his hand: "Map!"
"Sir, this is Yangcun." Gao Hongming quickly found the location of Yangcun, "This is Yangcun... This is Daxia Bay... No... Daxia Bay?"
Gao Hongming was shocked. He finally knew where the familiar feeling came from. Isn't this the location of the Independent Regiment?
He immediately remembered that Yamamoto Kazuki led the special agent team to attack Daxia Bay, but unexpectedly they collided with the independent group and exposed their target. Then this guy severely damaged the independent group and ran away with great arrogance.
"We must not let them escape like this." Gao Hongming punched the snow hard.
He looked back at everyone who still looked surprised, and ordered without thinking: "Wu Chengfeng!"
"arrive!"
Wu Chengfeng immediately puffed up his chest.
He stared at Wu Chengfeng and said: "According to the intelligence, an independent regiment of the Eighth Route Army is stationed in Yangcun. I guess they were attacked by the Japanese army. You should immediately lead the first battalion in a car and take the radio to Yangcun to support the Eighth Route Army. If necessary.
Please report any artillery support at any time!”
Although Wu Chengfeng didn't understand why his parents were so anxious, he still said loudly without hesitation: "I understand!"
A few minutes later, looking at the convoy of vehicles, all with their headlights turned on, like a long dragon heading towards Yangjiacun, Gao Hongming turned his head and said loudly: "Geng Changshun, immediately order the artillery battalion to deploy their positions and prepare artillery support at any time."
"yes!"
Soon, the entire militia group started to get busy.
It can be said that Yamamoto Kazuki's actions are not unpleasant. His special agent team also moved extremely quickly. Even during the battle, they could fight and retreat. They broke away from the battle with the independent group in less than twenty minutes, and they were defeated in less than ten minutes.
If he can disappear into the night, no matter how powerful the Independent Group is, they won't be able to find him.
But due to the appearance of Gao Hongming, his and his special agent team's retreat is destined to not be so smooth.
Just when they broke away from the independent group and were about to head to the place where they hid their cars, they discovered that the road on the right was accompanied by streaks of light and the roar of cars.
