Bright Sword: I am an undercover agent in the puppet army

Chapter 24 The Japanese were also confused: Didn’t the Black Cloud Village rob our supplies? How did it become the Shanxi Suiyuan Army?

Chu Yunfei was stunned for a moment: "Xie Baoqing was hacked to death by the Eighth Route Army? What's going on?"

"Last night, the Eighth Route Army attacked our Black Cloud Village. Not only did they kill all of our leaders, they also stole all of our supplies, even our cotton-padded jackets and shoes.

Finally, they burned down our village.”

The bandit narrated the situation truthfully.

Chu Yunfei's face suddenly became strange: "I didn't expect to be a step late."

Qian Bojun, the battalion commander next to him, asked, "Commander, what should we do now?"

Chu Yunfei: "The Eighth Route Army is our friendly army. If they knew that the supplies seized in Heiyun Village belonged to us, they would definitely return them in full."

After a pause, he looked at the bandits and asked, "Do you know the specific number of the Eighth Route Army that attacked you yesterday?"

"I don't know, I just know they are from the Eighth Route Army."

The bandits all shook their heads.

Chu Yunfei frowned and said, "This is a bit difficult, but as long as we investigate it carefully, I believe we can still find out the number of this Eighth Route Army."

"Let's close the team."

Qian Bojun asked again: "Commander, what about these bandits?"

Chu Yunfei's face darkened and he said, "These bandits are usually troublemakers, but today, the enemy is fierce, the mountains and rivers are broken, and the country and nation are facing a critical moment of survival. As Chinese, they do not think about serving the country, but instead rob our supplies, hinder our efforts, and undermine the anti-Japanese war. They deserve to die!

The Eighth Route Army is merciful and only punishes the main culprits, so let the 358th Regiment be the executioner."

"Yes!"

Qian Bojun agreed and then waved his hand. The officers and soldiers of the surrounding battalion raised their rifles and pulled the bolts to load the bullets.

"Master, please spare your life, Master, please spare your life!"

The bandits of Heiyun Village knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, but what responded to them was a burst of gunfire.

Half a minute later, the gunfire stopped and the bandits all stopped begging for mercy.

At this moment, a violent explosion suddenly came from the foot of the mountain.

"Boom!"

"Boom, boom, boom!——"

Chu Yunfei's expression changed and he shouted, "Where did the explosion come from?"

The battalion commander Qian Bojun said urgently: "Commander, our artillery position is under attack from down the mountain."

The battalion commander Liang Guoping said with an unpleasant expression, "Could it be that the bandits on the mountain lied and that Xie Baoqing led the main force of the Black Cloud Village to bypass us and attack us?"

Chu Yunfei: "The bandits don't have such fierce artillery fire. Judging from the noise, it should be the Japanese Type 92 infantry gun and Type 97 light mortar!"

Liang Guoping was stunned: "Devils? Why are the devils here?"

Chu Yunfei shook his head: "That's not clear."

Qian Bojun had already raised his telescope: "Commander, it's really the Japs! We might be in trouble!"

Chu Yunfei: "Don't panic, in addition to the artillery camp, there are more than 1000 officers and soldiers from your battalion at the foot of the mountain. It won't be easy for the Japanese to take over the artillery camp!

Quickly go down the mountain, seize a favorable position, and engage the enemy in battle! "At the foot of the mountain, the remaining officers and soldiers of the 358th Regiment, under the leadership of the company commanders, quickly seized favorable positions around and launched a defense.

The gunners in the artillery battalion also turned their guns and launched artillery counterattacks against the Japanese.

The officers and soldiers of the two battalions remained calm in the face of danger and were well-trained, worthy of being Yan Laoxi's elite troops.

the other side.

The attack on the 358th Regiment was launched by the 22st Battalion of the nd Infantry Regiment led by Kasahara Koizumi.

Since Yangquan County is 10 kilometers farther from Heiyun Mountain than Cangyun Town, they arrived more than an hour late.

After Kasahara Koizumi led his troops to the foot of Heiyun Mountain, he immediately launched an attack on the officers and soldiers of the 358th Regiment who remained behind, and then the current battle took place.

Kasahara Koizumi looked ahead with a resentful expression, and said coldly: "Baka! It turns out that the Chinese Shanxi Suiyuan Army robbed the supplies of the Locust Army. I was wondering how these bandits from the Black Cloud Village could be so bold!"

"That's fine, let's destroy them all!"

The Chief of Staff Nojiri Jiro said, "Captain, this seems to be a strange thing. You see, the artillery of the Chinese Shanxi-Suiyuan Army seemed to be aimed at the Black Cloud Village on the mountain at the beginning, not at our Locust Army.

Moreover, before this, they did not even deploy sentries to guard the rear, which was really abnormal.

Also, this Jinsui Army actually possesses such a large-scale artillery force, and its identity is obviously not simple. "

"Soga! Mr. Nojiri's words make sense." Kasahara Koizumi nodded in agreement and said, "However, no matter why this Chinese Shanxi-Suiyuan Army appeared here, since they are blocking the way of my Great Japanese Locust Army, they deserve to die!
As for how complicated their identities are, I am not interested. Anyway, compared to my Great Japanese Locust Army, they are just a bunch of vulnerable chickens and dogs!"

"Hi!" Nojiri Jiro bowed heavily.

Kasahara Koizumi drew his command sword from his waist and swung it forward vigorously, ordering: "Warriors of the Empire, attack and annihilate the Chinese army in front!
Your Majesty the Heavenly Locust is on board, the Great Japanese Locust Army is on board!"

"Taoci change, Taoci change!——"

Thousands of Japanese soldiers immediately shouted the slogan "Load on board, load on board" and launched a frantic charge under the cover of artillery fire.

Soon they rushed to a place less than 358 meters away from the 500th Regiment's defense line.

The Japanese were well-trained, with each branch of the army cooperating well with each other. Light machine guns and grenade launchers were even equipped at the squad level.

At this time, the Type 358 heavy machine guns were roaring, pouring out a large amount of bullets, continuously suppressing the firepower of the th Regiment and providing fire cover for the infantry charge.

The Japanese infantrymen spread out in a relatively loose skirmish line, lowered their heads and bent their waists, and advanced forward quickly in an attempt to quickly advance to the 200-meter range.

That is the precise shooting range of their infantry, and it will also be the distance where the fighting between the two sides will be the most intense and the casualties will be the most tragic!
"Hit them, beat these damned Japanese to death!"

Naturally, the officers and soldiers of the 358th Regiment would not let the Japanese get their wish. They concentrated their firepower, and light and heavy machine guns and rifles opened fire at full capacity.

Dense rain of bullets poured down and swept down dozens of Japanese soldiers in a blink of an eye, and the Japanese offensive was suddenly thwarted!
But the good times did not last long. With the dull roar of "boom boom boom" from the grenade launchers, the light and heavy machine guns of the 358th Regiment immediately suffered a devastating disaster. Many machine gunners were blown away along with their weapons.

The firepower dropped sharply!

The quality of the Japanese grenadiers is really too high, and this thing is completely designed to counter light and heavy machine guns.

The reason why the Japanese were invincible on the battlefields in China was certainly because they were well-equipped and well-trained.

Both the equipment and the quality of the soldiers have an overwhelming advantage over China, but the grenade launcher, a weapon that is not very powerful and has a short range, also plays an important role!
Combined with the grenadiers' high quality, they could shoot almost anywhere within range. The Chinese army's machine guns would be counterattacked as soon as they were exposed. This battle was fought in the wild without permanent fortifications, so it was difficult to win...
