Bright Sword: From Northwest Shanxi to Shangganling

Chapter 233 Yamamoto Ikki: Here I come

After Chen Chengxing sent Dongshan Lingtaro to Daxia Bay, he did not go to Yixiantian, but went to Yangcun.

"What a rare guest, what a rare guest, Chen Chengxing, why are you here in my little temple instead of being the king of Dayun Mountain?" Kong Jie said with a smile.

"I went to the headquarters and passed by Yangcun. I heard that the independent regiment moved here, so I came to see you."

After all, there are many people here and they all have different opinions, so Chen Chengxing did not tell anyone about Toyama Ryotaro.

When Kong Jie was walking towards the regiment headquarters with Chen Chengxing, he curled his lips towards the back.

"Is this the cavalry from your new Second Regiment?"

"It's just a minor incident, not worth mentioning."

Chen Chengxing waved his hands, as if he didn't care, but the upturned corners of his mouth clearly revealed his pretentious mood.

Seeing Chen Chengxing pretending to be cool, Kong Jie said with a smile: "Everyone says that you, Old Chen, are a landlord. I don't think it's an exaggeration at all! This must be a cavalry battalion, right?"

"Small scene, small scene."
"But Lao Kong, I have something else to tell you this time."

After arriving at the regiment headquarters and sitting down, Chen Chengxing was ready to talk about the Japanese special forces.

"You say." Kong Jie said casually while pouring water.

"I received news that a group of devils with extremely special equipment came to Taiyuan. There are about 80 of them, and they fight very fiercely."

“And it’s gone now.”

"The independent regiment is responsible for the guarding of the headquarters, so we must be careful," Chen Chengxing reminded.

"Do I need you to teach me this?"

Since the independent regiment was transferred to Yangcun, it has built a complete defense system in this area.

Even if a regiment of the Japanese invaders came, Kong Jie was confident that he could make it to the headquarters and evacuate safely.

No matter how special the Japanese equipment in Taiyuan is, it is just the strength of a reinforced squad. Can they really defeat the independent regiment?
"Haha...Old Kong, don't be dissatisfied." Chen Chengxing said seriously.

Special operations and the frontal battlefield are two completely different situations.

Even though Li Yunlong knew about this group of Japanese devils, the regiment headquarters was still ambushed in Zhaojiayu.

This is also the reason why Chen Chengxing led the cavalry company to ambush Yamamoto Ikki.

The threat posed by a special operations brigade is very great. In the event of a sneak attack, Yamamoto Ikki can catch anyone off guard.

Now that there is a chance to completely wipe out Yamamoto's special forces, Chen Chengxing is willing to sacrifice his cavalry company.

If it wasn't impossible to explain, Chen Chengxing would have brought two main battalions here long ago.

"I saw it when I entered the village just now. Your positions are all built facing forward, right? What if the Japanese attack from behind?" Chen Chengxing asked.

"There's a cliff behind," Kong Jie explained.

"The Japs don't care whether it's a cliff or not!" Chen Chengxing said seriously.

In the plot, Yamamoto Ikki came up from behind and caught the independent regiment off guard.

Special forces are not a frontal attack force.

Seeing Chen Chengxing's serious expression, Kong Jie also became serious.

Indeed, although the cliff is straight up and down, its height is only about ten meters, so you can definitely climb it if you want to.

In the Japanese's previous battles, many flank attacks were launched after climbing cliffs.

"Old Chen, what you said makes sense. This matter really cannot be ignored."

Kong Jie decided to strengthen the defense, but because Yangcun was a residential area with constant coming and going, mines could not be laid casually.

Therefore, Kong Jie could only ask the Second Battalion to dig a new trench in the direction of the cliff and then build a firepower point.

Chen Chengxing walked around Yangcun again and saw that there was indeed no problem with Kong Jie's defensive arrangements, so he asked to leave.

"Let's go now? It would be great if we could have dinner and then have a night's rest, and then set off tomorrow morning." Kong Jie looked at the sky. It was already past four o'clock in the afternoon.

"No, it's not convenient for cavalry to stay in the village." Chen Chengxing waved his hand.

Yamamoto Ikki is coming tonight, and I have to ambush him. If I stay in the village, I won’t be able to ambush him.

Kong Jie tried to persuade him again, but seeing that Chen Chengxing was determined to leave, he didn't say anything more.

After leaving Yangcun, Chen Chengxing led the cavalry company to make a circle, avoiding the Japanese's route of movement along the way.

Until they stopped in a canyon.

According to the system's intelligence, this is the enemy's retreat route.

This canyon is called Caoqing Gorge, which is about 1 kilometer long, just enough to trap Yamamoto's entire special operations team in the valley.

When Yamamoto's Special Operations Battalion is marching, it will be divided into three parts: front, middle and rear. If the area is small, it will not be possible to ambush all the Japanese.

Looking at Chen Chengxing who was riding on a horse and observing the terrain, Sun Desheng was a little confused.

"Captain, shall we take a rest here?"

It was not dark yet, so the cavalry company could advance a little further.

"Rest? I plan to set up an ambush here." Chen Chengxing put down the telescope and pointed to the canyon below.

"Ambush position? Ambush who? There are no devils here?"

After hearing what Chen Chengxing said, Sun Desheng was even more confused. This area was the territory of the Eighth Route Army. Not to mention the Japanese, there was not even a single Guo Army soldier here.

"Do you think I was just talking nonsense in Yangcun? I did receive intelligence that a group of Japanese soldiers left Taiyuan. Although their whereabouts are lost, they should be heading in this direction."

"So I think we should try to ambush in this area. It doesn't matter even if we don't gain anything." Chen Chengxing said casually.

He couldn't directly present the system's information, so he could only say this.

After hearing what Chen Chengxing said, everyone around him didn't know what to say.

It may sound a bit crazy, but the team leader has actually done this several times before, and he gained something every time.

But if we really talk about the probability of a successful ambush, it is really not much higher than finding a needle in a haystack. However, although everyone has different thoughts, they still actively follow Chen Chengxing's instructions to set up positions.

After all, there is no result, it's just a waste of time and energy.

Because this time the opponent is an unprecedented elite group of Japanese devils.

Therefore, Chen Chengxing made careful adjustments to each firepower point and also instructed the soldiers to build a large number of reserve firepower points.

The cavalry company fought against Yamamoto's special forces, and the only things they could rely on were machine guns and mortars.

Therefore, we cannot allow our own firepower points to be destroyed easily.

After nightfall, Kong Jie became more concerned because of Chen Chengxing's reminder.

After all, the independent regiment is responsible for guarding the headquarters, and no mistakes can be made.

Therefore, in addition to increasing the number of visible sentries, Kong Jie also added a lot of hidden sentries.

"Captain!"

Kong Jie inspected along the way and the sentries saluted along the way.

"Well, be on high alert. The boss is behind us, and nothing can go wrong."

"If the command is wrong, just shoot."

Kong Jie gave careful instructions to each sentry.

Kong Jie returned to the regiment headquarters only after he had checked all the sentry posts and visited the positions of each battalion.

Late at night, a silent army appeared near Yangcun.

After looking at the map with a flashlight covered with a cloth, Yamamoto Ikki raised his head and whispered:

"Everyone, pay attention! We are now in Yang Village, and Daxia Bay is about two kilometers away."

"Now I order: Group One to open the way, Group Two to provide cover, and Group Three to provide rearguard support."

"We will bypass this place quietly. Our target: the Eighth Route Army Headquarters in Daxia Bay!"

"action!"

"Hai!"

The first group immediately dispersed and formed three-person combat teams to take turns to cover each other and advance.

If Chen Chengxing saw the actions of Yamamoto's special forces, he would definitely find them very familiar.

This already has the prototype of the three-three system, or it can be said to be a modified version of the three-three system that is more suitable for the weapons in the hands of the Japanese special forces.

The Japanese vanguard group did not choose to enter the village from the entrance of Yangcun. This was very dangerous. If they were seen by any night owl, an accident would most likely happen.

In order to ensure that everything would go smoothly, the Japanese vanguard group chose to climb up the cliff and then bypass Yang Village.

This also prevented the Japanese from noticing that there were already Eighth Route Army troops in Yangcun.

After climbing up the cliff silently, the vanguard team hurried along the path.

The sentry who was on guard at this time saw a long line of black shadows moving quickly in the darkness, and they were obviously an army.

"Who! Password?!" the sentry shouted.

The Japanese vanguard who were marching through were startled when they heard someone suddenly shouting.

They never thought that even though they were so careful, they were still discovered.

After a second, receiving no response, the sentry pulled the trigger without even aiming.

"boom!"

With the sound of a gunshot, the originally silent Yangcun suddenly became noisy.

At the same time, the Japanese in the vanguard group also reacted.

"Da Da Da" "Da Da Da"

With just two short bursts of shots, the sentry who fired the shot was hit by the Japanese and fell to the ground.

But at this time, the hidden sentry had already adjusted the muzzle of the light machine gun.

"Thump, thump, thump."
The Japanese soldiers holding submachine guns were immediately suppressed.

The submachine gun has a fast rate of fire, but its range is seriously insufficient.

The German-made MP38 submachine guns in the hands of the devils had an optimal engagement distance of only 50 meters, and in actual combat they could only barely suppress enemies within 100 meters.

And at 100 meters, the dispersion is already very large.

At this time, the distance between the Japanese and the secret sentry machine gun firing point had exceeded 80 meters, and the machine gunner was hiding behind the bunker, making it difficult for the Japanese to directly destroy the light machine gun with a submachine gun.

"Machine gunners, suppress the fire! Gunners, immediately destroy the enemy's machine gun firing points!" shouted the Japanese team leader.

As a systematic special operations brigade, it is naturally impossible for them to be equipped only with submachine guns.

In addition to submachine guns, Type 96 light machine guns, Type 97 sniper rifles, and Type 89 grenade launchers are also all equipped.

After hearing the order, a Japanese grenade thrower immediately pulled out the grenade thrower on his back and quickly adjusted the distance.

"boom!"

With just one shot, the independent regiment's machine gun fire point was destroyed.

However, in just less than half a minute, the soldiers who reacted had already come to support as quickly as possible.

"Suppressive fire! Attack!"

Seeing that more and more Eighth Route Army soldiers were on the battlefield, the Japanese team leader immediately ordered his subordinates to use several grenade launchers and light machine guns to suppress the fire.

Then he led the assaulters forward to attack.
