Bright Sword: From Northwest Shanxi to Shangganling

Chapter 235 Yamamoto Ikki: I'm leaving again. It's broken, I'm not leaving
Yamamoto Ikki, who had already followed to the cliff, heard the gunshots from above and immediately waved his hand to signal the troops to hide and wait.

"What's going on?!" Yamamoto Ikki said angrily as he looked at the soldier who retreated to report the news.

No matter what the reason, as long as the gunshots were heard, the Eighth Route Army headquarters would inevitably be on alert.

Without the ability of surprise, the special forces' ability to engage in frontal combat is not much better than that of an elite infantry squadron.

"Sir, the first team has been discovered by the enemy's sentry and is now exchanging fire with the Eighth Route Army!"

"Baka!" Yamamoto Ikki said gritting his teeth.

"Order the first team to retreat!"

"You mean the operation is canceled? The first team now has a huge advantage. As long as they have support, they can definitely defeat the enemy!" The signalman said in surprise.

"As soon as the gunfire sounded, the fighter plane disappeared! The special operations brigade is not designed to fight ordinary troops!"

"retreat!"

"Hai!"

After receiving the order, the first group of Japanese soldiers retreated immediately without any hesitation.

By the time Kong Jie and his guard platoon arrived at the second battalion's position, the battle was already over.

"Where is the second battalion commander? What's going on?!" Kong Jie asked anxiously.

The battle happened so suddenly and so quickly that the enemy disappeared in less than 5 minutes.

"Commander, the battalion commander has died." The commander of the 4th Company reported with a sad face.

"Then who can tell me what's going on?!"

When Kong Jie heard that the second battalion commander had died, he was a little bit unbelievable.

"Captain, the Japanese came up from the cliff, and the battle was so fast that most of the comrades didn't even have time to react before it was over."

"These devils are completely different from the ones we encountered before. Not only are they very quiet, but they also shoot very accurately. Most of the soldiers were shot in the head."

"Three people in a group, all with automatic weapons, they left after the fight. The comrades rushed out to fight with bayonets, but they couldn't find anyone."

The 4th Company Commander was about to cry as he spoke. He was a veteran Red Army soldier, and had never fought such a humiliating battle.

"Stop talking!" Kong Jie interrupted the 4th Company Captain immediately after hearing him talking about how powerful the Japanese were.

"How many casualties did we suffer? How many Japanese soldiers did we kill?" Kong Jie asked directly.

"68 people were killed and no one was injured. As for the situation of the Japanese, we don't know now."

"Don't know? It's impossible that no one was killed?" Kong Jie's eyes widened.

"We used heavy machine guns and mortars, and should have killed the Japs, but they dragged them away and no bodies were left," explained the commander of the 4th Company.

"But one of our heavy machine guns was also destroyed."

The Japanese reacted too quickly. The heavy machine gun was hit by two grenades shortly after it opened fire.

Not only were all the soldiers in the machine gun crew killed, but the heavy machine gun was also damaged and had to be sent to the arsenal for repair.

The other heavy machine gun would have been destroyed if it had not been moved after firing.

"TND! Where did these Japanese devils come from?" Kong Jie pulled off his hat, his face full of disbelief.

The independent regiment had fought against the Japanese's elite troops before, but there was no such pressure.

Just then a communicator hurried over.

"Captain, there's a call from headquarters asking what's going on!"

"Okay, I'll go answer it." Kong Jie sighed, knowing that he would be punished this time.

After evacuating Yang Village, Yamamoto Ikki left quickly without looking back.

However, because of Yang Village, they could not return by the same route, so Yamamoto Ikki chose to lead the special operations brigade to take a detour.

In Caoqing Gorge, Wei Dayong, who was lying on the ground, suddenly raised his head.

"Captain, some people are coming. There are quite a few of them, at least dozens of them!" Wei Dayong whispered in Chen Chengxing's ear.

Just now he was lying on the ground, with a lunch box on his head, listening to the sound.

"Get ready for battle!" Chen Chengxing pushed Sun Desheng next to him.

Sun Desheng was so impressed at this moment that he couldn't express it in words. There really were troops passing by!

After Sun Desheng conveyed the order lightly, the soldiers of the cavalry company almost dropped their jaws in shock.

After coming to their senses, they bowed down in worship to their leader and decided to fight this battle strictly according to the leader's wishes.

Because they were out of the battle, although Yamamoto's special forces were still divided into three parts: front, middle and rear, they did not deploy into combat formation.

Moreover, the distance between them is less than 200 meters, which is completely within the scope of Caoqing Gorge.

Chen Chengxing just watched the Japanese passing through the canyon quietly and did not rush to take action.

It was not until the number of people counted by Chen Chengxing matched the number in the system that he raised his pistol.

"boom!"

The moment he heard the gunshot, Yamamoto Kazuki fell to the side.

"Ready to fight!"

As soon as the various teams of Yamamoto's special forces deployed their battle formations, they saw that the originally dark environment suddenly became bright.

Looking up, I saw three flares hanging in the air.

"Bakayarō." Yamamoto Ikki knew he was in trouble when he saw the flares hanging in the sky.

The advantages of the special operations brigade lie in its concealment and suddenness. If their whereabouts are exposed, they will be immediately counterattacked.

Moreover, the submachine guns in the hands of the team members are also melee weapons.

If the field of vision of both sides is really not restricted, the advantage of the special operations brigade will be drastically reduced.

Moreover, the enemy's vision is not restricted, but we cannot see the enemy who is still hiding in the dark. This is even more troublesome.

"Da da da" "Da da da".
The moment they saw the Japanese in the canyon, the soldiers who had been prepared opened fire at full force.

Before the battle, Chen Chengxing had instructed that this operation should take advantage of firepower and suppress the enemy with machine guns and mortars.

Without Chen Chengxing's order, no one could launch a charge easily.

As long as you don't get close to the Japanese, their submachine guns will not be effective.

Looking at the suppressed special operations brigade, Yamamoto Ikki's face was frighteningly gloomy.

Now the enemy's attack directly hit the special operations brigade's weak spot.

"Attack forward and cooperate with the first group to break out of the canyon!" Yamamoto Kazuki ordered immediately.

Staying in the canyon was too disadvantageous, and the special operations brigade couldn't even launch a surprise attack.

Now the only way is to leave the canyon first and then use the terrain to counterattack.

As long as they can close the distance, the special forces can teach the other side a lesson.

Seeing that the Japs agreed with the regiment commander's judgment, the soldiers looked at each other and immediately carried their machine guns into the next preset position.

In order to completely wipe out Yamamoto's special forces this time, Chen Chengxing used all his abilities.

Chen Chengxing looked at every inch of land in Caoqingxia.

He also carefully recalled all of Yamamoto Ikki's plots in order to predict his opponent's moves.

After all the Yamamoto special forces arrived at the valley entrance, the two platoons responsible for blocking the valley entrance immediately felt tremendous pressure.

Although the heavy machine guns and light machine guns fired alternately through transfer, they avoided being destroyed by grenade launchers in a short period of time.

But the Japanese machine gunners were not made of clay, and the bullets fired from their light machine guns basically hit the target closely.

This put the soldiers under tremendous pressure.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, the Cavalry Reconnaissance Platoon came to support.

The cavalry reconnaissance platoon is equipped with grenade launchers because they fight independently most of the time.

With the attack of the grenade launchers of the Cavalry Reconnaissance Platoon, the Japanese machine gunners did not dare to stay in one place for too long.

"Boom!" "Boom!".
Looking at the machine gunner who was forced to move continuously, Yamamoto Ikki looked unhappy.

This group of enemies that suddenly appeared were more difficult to deal with than the Eighth Route Army they encountered in Yangcun before.

Not only must we fight to the death, but we must also have stronger technical and tactical levels.

"Let the first group of assaulters attack forward and try to suppress the enemy machine gunners!" ordered Yamamoto Ikki.

It's very dark now, so the sniper can't be very effective.

If you want to complete a breakthrough, you can only let the assaulters close the distance under the hail of bullets.

Then use the submachine gun's close-range firepower advantage to defeat the enemy.

Although the advance of the Japanese assaulters resulted in a lot of casualties among themselves, it also shortened the fighting distance between the two sides.

The casualties of the cavalry company soldiers on the position immediately increased sharply.

Chen Chengxing naturally also saw this scene.

"Mortar bombardment of area 3!"

Because Yamamoto Ikki and the special operations brigade rushed to the exit, the platoons that were originally responsible for blocking the entrance lost their target and are now moving forward.

And Chen Chengxing needs to buy some time for the troop transfer.

But now everything is still as expected, and there will be no problem as long as all the troops follow the procedures.

"Boom!" "Boom!".
With the rapid firing of mortars, the first group of Japanese devils was forced to stop the attack.

"Bakayaro!" Yamamoto Ikki's face turned pale when he saw that the other side had mortars joining the battlefield.

After the special operations brigade was exposed, what they feared most was institutional countermeasures.

Heavy machine guns and artillery are two weapons that have extremely strong suppressive power on them.

Thanks to the night, the heavy machine guns were able to counterattack with grenade launchers, but facing the mortars, the special operations brigade had no power to resist.

While Yamamoto Ikki was racking his brains to figure out how to break the impasse, the platoons of the cavalry company had already moved back into position.

Utilizing the positions that had been constructed long ago, the firepower from light and heavy machine guns suppressed the Japanese and made them unable to move.

"Well, the devil is now trapped!"

Seeing that the encirclement was completely completed, Chen Chengxing breathed a sigh of relief.

"Tell the artillery platoon to fire all the shells!"

The equipment of the cavalry company was the most luxurious in the entire New Second Regiment, and all the ammunition was equipped according to the standard.

Each person was allocated 60 rounds of ammunition, each light machine gun was allocated 400 rounds of ammunition, and each heavy machine gun was allocated 1000 rounds of ammunition.

The artillery platoon has three mortars, each with 3 rounds of ammunition. The total number of shells is more than twice the number of the Japanese.

If there weren't so much ammunition, Chen Chengxing wouldn't dare to bring the cavalry company to cause trouble for Yamamoto Ikki.

Following Chen Chengxing's order, the three mortars of the artillery platoon adjusted their firing angles and began to fire continuously.

Continuous shooting requires a large amount of ammunition, so the shooting frequency must be reduced to less than 8 rounds per minute, and a wet cloth must be used to cool the barrel.

However, even with the reduced rate of fire, the three mortars still caused great suffering to the Yamamoto Special Forces.

They are elite, but they are also human.

At this moment, the iron content in the circle with a diameter of less than 100 meters suddenly increased.
