Chu Yunfei was very satisfied with the result of the battle. The Japanese fell one by one on the way to the headquarters. It was estimated that there were at least thirty or forty of them.
Chu Yunfei believed that this had severely damaged the vitality of the Japanese advance team in mainland China, and even if there were a few left in the army, they would not be able to make any big waves.
On the other hand, news also came from the fighting in the highlands behind. A tunnel for the Japanese was found, and the Japanese were guarding the tunnel and resisting.
Needless to say what the outcome of this will be, the Japanese will be annihilated sooner or later.
Later, Chu Yunfei learned that they were not annihilated, but committed suicide by setting off grenades before being captured.
Chu Yunfei was a little proud.
I heard that these Japs also used the same method to attack the Eighth Route Army Headquarters and almost destroyed the Eighth Route Army Arsenal... Chu Yunfei thought these Japs were very capable, but now it seems that they are nothing more than that.
However, Chu Yunfei was happy too early.
Just when Chu Yunfei was focusing on the battle on the front line, Sun Ming, who was inspecting the corpses, ran back with his body crouched and reported in a panic: "Commander, the numbers of these Japanese soldiers are all the Seventh Battalion without exception!"
Chu Yunfei's expression changed and he secretly said something bad.
The Seventh Battalion was a supplementary force sent by the commander. Chu Yunfei was worried that assigning them to various ministries would disrupt the coordination of other units in the upcoming war, so he temporarily maintained the establishment.
It is said that the number of these Japs is quite large. Including the number of people lost in the previous sneak attack on the headquarters, there are at least forty people.
It doesn't make sense that so many Japanese were all mixed up in the Seventh Battalion but the Seventh Battalion knew nothing about it.
What's more, there is another Eighth Battalion as a supplementary force. Why are all the Japs in the Seventh Battalion and not one in the Eighth Battalion?
Does that mean...
Chu Yunfei's eyelids twitched hard and he asked Sun Ming: "Where is the Seventh Battalion now?"
Sun Ming replied: "We are behind the third battalion's defense line!"
This is the habit of the 358th Regiment. They usually place new recruits behind the veteran troops and let them observe the veteran troops fighting in order to boost morale and prepare for combat. They can also reinforce the veteran troops when necessary.
"Withdraw the Seventh Battalion immediately!" Chu Yunfei ordered.
"Yes!" Sun Ming responded and went to deliver the order.
But before Sun Ming could reach the phone, the communications soldier who answered the phone reported with a horrified look: "Regiment seat, the Seventh Battalion has rebelled, and they are attacking the Third Battalion from the rear... The Third Battalion's position will be undefendable.
!”
Chu Yunfei was so angry that he slammed the table and cursed: "These scum! Lackeys! Beasts! All of them, come with me to reinforce the third battalion! Order the rocket launcher battalion to prepare!"
Before he finished speaking, several artillery shells hit him hard.
The Seventh Battalion was an organized rebellion, and the battalion commander Lu Xueshan had been bribed by the Japanese before he was added to the 358th Regiment.
This is actually partly the responsibility of Yan Laoxi. As the commander, Yan Laoxi took the lead in negotiating with the Japanese. Of course, his subordinates also have to think about their own future.
So the Japs randomly sent someone to make some money and get an official position, and it was easy for Lu Xueshan to switch to the Japs camp.
For him, he has to vote sooner or later anyway, so he might as well get more benefits by voting early.
Lu Xueshan was assigned to Chu Yunfei not intentionally, but Yan Laoxi randomly transferred a troop and set him on fire.
The Japanese were very happy. They took full advantage of this opportunity and took two steps:
The first step is to organize the mainland advance team into Lu Xueshan's troops and then join them into the 358th Regiment. This force is mainly aimed at Chu Yunfei's headquarters.
The other step is to let Lu Xueshan act according to the situation and cooperate with the Japanese's frontal attack to tear open the defense line.
Lu Xueshan is quite capable.
He had long heard about Chu Yunfei and his 358th Regiment... He knew that this regiment had more than 5,000 men and that all of them were brave and good at fighting. He heard that they were also equipped with new equipment purchased from the Eighth Route Army.
If we only open a hole to attract the Japs, it may not be enough. If Chu Yunfei seals the hole, his life will be at risk.
So Lu Xueshan did nothing but leave one company to shoot behind the third battalion... One company was enough. After all, it was a two-sided attack. The third battalion was caught off guard and how could it withstand the Japanese attack.
On the other hand, he led the remaining two companies straight to the headquarters, intending to catch a big fish and offer it to the Japanese for reward.
The guard camp recognized people like Lu Xueshan, so they relaxed their vigilance and let them get closer.
Unexpectedly, the Jin-made submachine gun suddenly fired a burst of fire, followed by a burst of grenades.
The guard battalion, which was caught off guard, immediately fell into chaos. What was worse was that the enemy's and ours' uniforms were exactly the same. It was impossible to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy in close combat in the smoke. Lu Xueshan and others even rushed to the front, and uninformed people at the rear were still confused.
Treat them as one of your own.
As a result, the guard battalion was defeated with numerous casualties and casualties.
Chu Yunfei originally wanted to organize a defense line, but suddenly two grenades flew and landed next to him.
Sun Ming had quick eyes and quick hands. He threw Chu Yunfei to the ground with one flying move and rolled him twice. There were two "boom" explosions. When Sun Ming got up, he found that Chu Yunfei was hit by shrapnel in the back and could not get up.
"Hygienist!" Sun Ming shouted: "Stretcher, stretcher..."
"Don't call for a stretcher!" Chu Yunfei gritted his teeth and shouted: "We must fight back the Japanese! I can't withdraw! Once I withdraw, it will be over!"
Sun Ming was not willing to listen. He couldn't help but carry Chu Yunfei onto the stretcher with several guards, and said: "Commander, this is left to me! Don't worry, Commander, I won't let the enemy succeed!"
As he spoke, Sun Ming waved his hand and ordered: "Follow us and move the regiment seats to the rear immediately!"
So the command was transferred to Sun Ming.
The situation was very serious. The guard battalion had been beaten to the ground and lost its troops. At this time, a company was detached to protect Chu Yunfei's retreat, and the headquarters was even more dangerous.
But Sun Ming is also a ruthless person. He just hesitated for a moment, grabbed the phone and dialed the rocket launcher company: "First company, second company, fire at me! Third company, fire at the seventh battalion position!"
After putting down the phone, Sun Ming shouted to everyone around him: "Everyone is here, hide!"
Lu Xueshan led a group of rebels to kill him with a ferocious look on his face.
He was originally afraid of life and death, but now he had Japanese planes, artillery and tanks supporting him from behind. He was confident enough to fight, and he instantly looked down on these former comrades in front of him.
Lu Xueshan even laughed "haha" while killing, thinking that he finally no longer had to worry about being "sacrificially" as before.
What does it mean to be a traitor?
If people don't do it for themselves, they will be punished by heaven and earth. Who doesn't want to live longer these days?
Either you die or I die!
So of course you have to die!
While making excuses for himself, he fired wildly with a submachine gun.
At this moment, a "whooshing" sound suddenly came from the sky.
Lu Xueshan looked in the direction of the sound in surprise, and saw a stream of flaming things heading straight towards the hill.
Before he could react, with a loud "boom", Lu Xueshan and other rebels were instantly surrounded by fire and smoke.
