The first thousand two hundred and seventy-eight chapters use the body as bait
In Xiaoqingshan, inside the headquarters of the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps, Yang Ling, Zhang Liechen and other senior officers looked solemn.
"They should be members of the Japanese Skeleton Special Forces."
Wei Qing, captain of the Lieyan Special Warfare Brigade, squatted down to identify the corpses and belongings of the Japanese brought back, and then came to this conclusion.
Yang Ling and the others have fought against this elite Japanese force with no head or tail on several occasions. Both sides have won and lost each other, so they can be said to be old rivals.
Back when they were in Gaoyou City, Wei Qing's Flame Special Forces Battalion fought against the Japanese Skeleton Special Forces for the first time, and they were almost wiped out. Only a dozen of the first batch of brothers survived.
It can be said that that battle was a defeat that Captain Wei Qing will never forget. The Skeleton Special Forces, who had always wanted to find the enemy, avenged the original blood revenge.
There was no place to look for after they had worn iron shoes, and it took no effort to get there. Before they could take the initiative to attack, the Japanese's skeleton special forces team came to their doorstep. Wei Qing naturally didn't want to let them go.
"What is this elite force of the Japanese doing in the mountains?"
Compared to Wei Qing's desire for revenge, deputy captain Zhang Liechen was thinking about the overall situation and the purpose of the little devil entering the mountain.
"Either they are targeting our headquarters, or they are serving as a front line for the large troops entering the mountains." Yang Ling didn't need to guess to know what the Japanese were looking for.
In this vast mountain, there are not many elite troops worthy of the Japs, and their Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps is one of their targets.
Now the main force of the Little Japanese Field Army is fighting fiercely with China's heavy military groups on the front line in Hunan. The vast occupied area in the rear has insufficient troops and can only control communication lines and some important towns.
Compared with the strategic position of Huaiyin and other places, in this barren Shandong mountainous area, the output of food is not much and transportation is inconvenient. There is no need for the Japanese to focus their attention here.
Now that the elite troops of the Japs appeared in the mountains, Yang Ling had a strong hunch that they were coming for him.
"Now that you are here, leave your life here!" Wei Qing asked Yang Ling for a fight with murderous intent: "Sir, our Lieyan Special Warfare Brigade requests that all of us mobilize to kill this enemy in the mountains."
The original blood feud had always made Wei Qing, the commander of the Lieyan Special Warfare Brigade, brood. Now that the enemy has arrived at his doorstep, he is naturally unwilling to be outdone.
Yang Ling nodded and said: "I approve your request, but this enemy is very strong, so don't underestimate it."
"Sir, don't worry, our brothers from the Lieyan Special Warfare Brigade will never embarrass you, nor will we embarrass the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps!" Wei Qing promised, patting his chest.
"Sir Yang, we also hope to participate in the operation to encircle and suppress this Japanese army." Second Battalion Commander Wu Changqing also stepped forward to ask for a fight.
But this time Yang Ling rejected Wu Changqing's request: "This is an elite group of Japs. Let the Lieyan Special Forces Group deal with it. Regular troops should not participate."
Yang Ling knew that the Japs were elite and had strong firepower. When conventional troops encountered them, they were bound to suffer heavy casualties.
"Besides, you have other tasks. Although we eliminated the bandits in Hutou Village in one fell swoop, there are still dozens of bandits, large and small, around us. We need you to go out and kill them one by one, and return the favor to the local elders.
A stable living environment for the villagers." Yang Ling added.
"yes!"
Although he was not able to participate in the operation to encircle and suppress the Japanese, there was still a battle to be fought, so Wu Changqing did not say anything.
Under Yang Ling's arrangement, although the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps was still busy encircling and suppressing bandits everywhere, the brothers of the Lieyan Special Warfare Brigade had already begun to keep an eye on the Japanese in the mountains.
The Lieyan Special Warfare Brigade has gone through a round of expansion training and now has more than a hundred people, all of whom are elite forces carefully selected from all over.
They are composed of twelve people into a tactical action team, and each action team is divided into two combat groups of six people. They are equipped with the best equipment of the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps. They are also a sharp knife in Yang Ling's hand.
Now, the more than a hundred Lieyan special operations officers and soldiers were divided into eight special operations teams, carrying a week's worth of dry food. Under the leadership of captain Wei Qing, centered on the creek where the Japanese were found, they moved towards the surrounding areas.
Spread out and search for traces of the Japanese in the vast mountains.
Their mission is very simple, that is to find out the little devils who have entered the mountain and then eliminate them.
While the brothers of the Flame Special Warfare Brigade were divided into several groups to search for traces of Japs in the mountains, the eighty Japs of the Japs Skeleton Special Forces, led by their commander Makino Kanan, were also searching for the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps.
information.
The Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps defeated the Japanese troops several times in Gaoyou, Baoying, Huaiyin and other places, killing several subordinate officers, which made the Japanese lose face.
The Japanese mobilized heavy troops to encircle and suppress the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps, which caused heavy losses to the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps and had to retreat into the mountains of southern Shandong to temporarily avoid the enemy.
But the little Japs were unwilling to give up and wanted to drive out all the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps before they gave up.
The traitor Xie Zhengxiang who surrendered to the enemy led a regiment of puppet troops into the mountains in an attempt to wipe out the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps. However, it was not only Xie Zhengxiang who was caught and shot, but also the puppet troops under his command.
It was a heavy loss.
After Liu Heitan, the deputy commander of the puppet army, fled back, he placed all the responsibility for the failure on Xie Zhengxiang and exaggerated the complex situation in the mountains.
This made the Japanese have doubts about sending troops into the mountains for encirclement and suppression. The terrain in the mountains is complex and the jungles are dense. It is difficult for large troops to enter the mountains and use their heavy firepower.
So the Japanese also changed their tactics and decided to send a small elite unit to sneak into the mountains and carry out beheading operations against Yang Ling and others.
After all, the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps had been severely weakened after the Huaiyin War. As long as their headquarters was destroyed, they would be leaderless.
If they don't need to be dispatched by then, I'm afraid the numerous bandits in the mountain will wipe them out, so they sent Major Makino Kanan to lead the elite Skeleton Special Forces into the mountain.
Although Major Makino Kanan and the soldiers of the Skeleton Special Forces under his command have undergone rigorous special training, they are still unfamiliar with the Lunan Mountains.
They have been wandering in the mountains for almost half a month. After arresting mountain residents and conducting various inquiries, they finally figured out the approximate location of the headquarters of the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps.
When the Japanese Skeleton Special Forces led by Makino Kanan approached the headquarters of the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps in Xiaoqingshan based on the information obtained.
The officers and soldiers of the Lieyan Special Operations Brigade who were responsible for dealing with them also discovered the little devil's intentions and promptly alerted Xiao Qingshan's headquarters.
All signs showed that these Japs were coming for him. Yang Ling asked Zhang Liechen to evacuate the people and most irrelevant personnel around the headquarters, preparing to use his body as bait to attract the Japs.
At the same time, the officers and soldiers of the Lieyan Special Warfare Brigade were ordered to outflank the enemy from the outside and try their best to eliminate the Japs in Xiaoqingshan.
Of course, the Japanese didn't know that their whereabouts had been exposed, so they still carried out their plan. They quickly arrived in the forest near Xiaoqingshan and hid themselves.
"Send the coordinates back and roar the Army Air Forces to bomb the enemy headquarters."
After the Japanese commander Makino Kanan figured out the subordinates surrounding the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps, he did not lead his own troops to attack directly, but prepared to call in the Army Air Forces for air support.
