Anti-Japanese War: I have unlimited assistance

"Bah!"

"Bah!"

The enemy work unit soldiers responded with two bullets. They heard the gunshots but couldn't see anyone. The tin loudspeaker was immediately riddled with two holes, and the enemy work unit soldiers were so shocked that their hands went numb.

The translator from the enemy work department was secretly alarmed. The Japanese soldier's marksmanship was too good. Luckily, he was hiding behind cover, otherwise the bullets would have hit him.

"Damn it, shameless!"

"Pass on my order: wipe out these Japanese devils!"

Kong Jie was furious.

If they could capture the commander of the Imperial Guard Division, it would be an absolute disgrace to the entire Japanese army, and Kong Jie and the Independent Regiment would become even more famous.

Unfortunately, units like the Imperial Guard Division are definitely die-hard fans of the Sky Locust.

After careful consideration, Kong Jie realized that in the battles between the troops in northwestern Shanxi and the Imperial Guard Division, they had indeed only captured a few living Japanese soldiers.

It is said that those Japanese soldiers were all die-hard elements.

"Yes!"

The battalion commander, who had been impatient for a long time, immediately shouted:
"Suppressive fire! Rocket launchers, aim and fire directly! Infantry cover flamethrower soldiers, charge!"

Kong Jie was watching the game from here, and the battalion commander naturally wanted to make a good impression. If he could get a commendation for the battalion, he would be very happy.

In the past few days, the battalion commander has also been busy and has come up with a set of combat plans.

As soon as the battalion headquarters gave the order, the soldiers of the First Battalion immediately emerged from behind their bunkers as if by magic.

Various light and heavy machine guns, rocket launchers, and semi-automatic rifles were aimed at the entrances of several Japanese air-raid shelters.

"Da da da……"

"Boom boom boom..."

In an instant, bullets and rockets rained down on the entrance of the air-raid shelter.

The air-raid shelters that the Japanese engineers dug within two days were of pretty good quality.

It did not collapse despite continuous bombardment by rockets.

The overwhelming firepower kept the Japanese soldiers at the cave entrance from raising their heads.

Under the cover of fire, flamethrower soldiers from the first battalion carried fuel canisters and arrived at the entrance of the air-raid shelter.

As the flamethrower soldier pulled the trigger, streams of fire immediately shot into the air-raid shelter.

"Ahhhhh!!"

From inside the air-raid shelter, heart-wrenching Japanese screams immediately rang out.

The terrifying heat of the flames seemed to ignite the very souls of the Japanese soldiers.

Compared to the incendiary bombs used by the Air Force, although both are napalm, the napalm bombs used by the Air Force can instantly burn people to ashes, but the flames shot out by the flamethrower will not burn the Japanese soldiers immediately. Instead, the burning process is a process that makes the Japanese soldiers feel pain.

Some Japanese soldiers, unable to bear it any longer, burst out of the air-raid shelter with flames erupting from their bodies and screaming in agony.

But he was quickly killed.

"Onboard!"

"Boom boom boom..."

"Bang bang bang..."

At that moment, bursts of frenzied screams, explosions, and gunshots rang out from inside the air-raid shelter.

"The Japanese committed suicide, which saved us some ammunition."

Kong Jie snorted coldly, seemingly still unsatisfied, and then said in a ruthless tone: "Iida Sadako committed suicide, but the main force of the Imperial Guard Division won't be able to escape either."

……

"Baka, is this never going to end?"

After being bombed by six waves of Eighth Route Army aircraft, Mutaguchi Renya couldn't help but swear.

The First Army now has only about 15,000 men left.

After six waves of bombing, the First Army suffered extremely heavy casualties.

Moreover, the Japanese soldiers couldn't take the wounded away.

After a full night of forced marching, coupled with continuous bombing by eight aircraft, the pursuing eight columns of troops were closing in from behind. The Japanese soldiers of the First Army were now in a very sorry state; they hadn't even had breakfast, and were hungry, tired, and sleepy.

But Mutaguchi and the Japanese soldiers dared not stop for a moment throughout the night.

They continued their frantic run northeastward into the northern Taihang Mountains.

One of the weaker Japanese soldiers was so exhausted that he vomited blood on the spot.

To stabilize morale, Mutaguchi Renya gritted his teeth and helped the exhausted Japanese soldier, who was coughing up blood, onto his horse.

However, just as the Japanese soldier mounted his horse, a bullet pierced his forehead, causing him to fall off the horse.

"Da da da…"

"Boom boom boom..."

In an instant, gunshots and explosions rang out all around like popping beans, and Japanese soldiers fell in droves like withered grass meeting a sickle.

Mutaguchi Renya was immediately filled with despair. Judging from the dense gunfire and artillery fire, the enemy was definitely the main force of the New First Regiment.

Is a future general about to fall in this Jinzhong region?
"There's a small path over there; it will cover the general's breakout from there!"

Just then, more than 20 members of Yamamoto's special forces quickly gathered around Mutaguchi Renya.

The sharp-eyed squad leader responsible for protecting Renya Mutaguchi spotted a small path amidst the smoke and fire.

These 20-plus team members were originally there to protect Yoshio Shinotsuka.

However, Yoshio Shinotsuka did not take them with him when he broke out from Guangyang Highway.

Yoshio Shinotsuka ordered them to make sure they protected Renya Mutaguchi.

"Da da da…"

These 20 special forces soldiers, armed with submachine guns and grenade launchers, cleared a path for Renya Mutaguchi and his guard squadron, creating an opening.

However, the Eighth Route Army's firepower was too strong. The artillery observer of the 4th Column of the New First Regiment discovered that the firepower here was extremely powerful.

They immediately called for artillery support.

Just as a dozen or so Japanese soldiers were covering Mutaguchi Renya as he broke out of the ambush, more than 20 special operations soldiers and guards behind them were hit by 120mm heavy mortar fire.

"idiot…"

Renya Mutaguchi glanced at the special forces soldiers and guard squadrons under heavy artillery fire, as well as the First Army troops surrounded and ambushed.

After cursing, Mutaguchi Renya led a dozen soldiers away without looking back.

……

A mountain peak lacking vegetation, split open from top to bottom, with a gap in the middle.

A narrow path winds through a gap, flanked by massive stone walls, with cold air howling between them.

Xie Baoqing, the leader of Black Cloud Village, and Liang Erhu, the second-in-command, patiently led a hundred henchmen to lie in ambush behind the rocks, waiting for their prey to appear.

Ever since Li Yunlong led his troops into northwestern Shanxi, the bandits have had a hard time.

The Eighth Route Army only allowed bandits to rob Japanese soldiers, but not civilians or Eighth Route Army soldiers, otherwise they would be surrounded and wiped out.

But the Japanese devils in northwestern Shanxi were all wiped out by the Eighth Route Army led by Li Yunlong, so where were the Japanese devils?
There were many Japanese soldiers when the Eighth Route Army fought against them, but they didn't dare to rob Black Cloud Village!

Xie Baoqing of Black Cloud Village came from a poor background. He became a bandit after killing Zhang Shanren, the rich man in his village.

Xie Baoqing earned a good reputation among the bandits for his excellent martial arts skills and generosity, and became the leader of Black Cloud Stronghold.

When he was in northwestern Shanxi, he wanted to lead the Black Cloud Village to surrender to Li Yunlong, but Li Yunlong looked down on bandits.

Therefore, Xie Baoqing and Liang Erhu had no choice but to lead their gang from northwestern Shanxi to central Shanxi.

Although this area to the north was also the territory of the Eighth Route Army, it was close to the Zhengtai Railway. Xie Baoqing would occasionally lead his men to ambush the Japanese soldiers on the Zhengtai Railway, just like the Eighth Route Army guerrillas.

Xie Baoqing did have some tactical thinking. At present, the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese were fighting on the Zhengtai Railway, and Niangziguan had already been captured by the Eighth Route Army.

Since the Japanese soldiers on the Zhengtai Road couldn't escape, they would definitely run into the Taihang Mountains. So he led a group of his men to ambush them on the only road leading to the Taihang Mountains.

The Eighth Route Army gets to eat meat, and Black Cloud Village gets to drink some soup. They're not allowed to rob the anti-Japanese forces or the common people, so Black Cloud Village can only rob the Japanese and their puppet troops.

The Japanese devils and puppet troops in Shanxi have all been wiped out by the Eighth Route Army, and Black Cloud Village will be left destitute.

Xie Baoqing was just worrying when he heard hurried footsteps on the path. A dozen or so disheveled Japanese soldiers came into view. Liang Erhu's spirits lifted: "Boss, the business is here!" (End of Chapter)
