Sword of Light: Humanoid Self-Propelled Artillery

Chapter 70: Another Battle with Yamamoto's Special Forces

On the way to Chenjiayugou, Wang Gensheng's mind was not idle. He was thinking about how to inflict heavy damage or even annihilate the Yamamoto Special Forces while avoiding heavy casualties.

Although Wang Gensheng was very confident in the training of the cavalry company.

However, Wang Gensheng also understood the strength of Yamamoto's special forces. All members were equipped with submachine guns, so their firepower was strong and their shooting skills were very accurate. It was easy for them to shoot people in the head from a hundred meters away.

It can even effectively kill within the submachine gun range of 200 meters.

Therefore, engaging in close combat with the Yamamoto Special Forces, or even getting within 200 meters of the Yamamoto Special Forces, is an act of seeking death.

The only advantage the cavalry company armed with rifles and light machine guns had against the Yamamoto Special Forces was that they could use the range advantage of rifles and light machine guns, as well as the cavalry company's rapid mobility, to drag the enemy out.

Therefore, when they arrived at the cliff behind Chenjiay Village, Wang Gensheng did not rush to lead the cavalry company to meet up with Zhao Gang. Instead, he observed the surroundings and chose a hillside 500 meters away from the cliff. He directly brought the cavalry company here to arrange the position.

After everything was arranged, Wang Gensheng took a detour and climbed up the cliff, where he found Zhao Gang who was defending on the cliff.

When Zhao Gang saw that only Wang Gensheng came, he couldn't help but be stunned and said:

"Didn't you say you would bring a cavalry company to support us? Why are you here alone?"

In response to Zhao Gang's doubts, Wang Gensheng immediately explained:

"A cavalry battalion has arrived, but I don't plan to deploy them here. Zhao Zhengwei, you joined the independent regiment late and didn't experience the battle of Yangcun, but I did. Those little devils are the elite of the elite, all holding submachine guns and with very accurate marksmanship. So we can't deploy our positions too close together, otherwise we'll become sitting ducks for the little devils' special forces!"

Wang Gensheng said this while looking at the position Zhao Gang had set up on the cliff behind Chenjiayu Village. How should I put it! It was too close to the cliff, but it was too late to change it now.

Zhao Gang was not a stubborn person, so he said immediately:
"Then Comrade Wang Gensheng, how do you think I should arrange my position?"

After Wang Gensheng looked at the terrain, he replied:

"It's too late to change our position now, but we can place some booby traps in front of it to make it harder for the Japanese to attack! And don't worry, Zhao Zhengwei, I've deployed the cavalry company on the opposite hillside. If the Japanese dare to come over, they'll be able to form an angle with your position!"

After hearing what Wang Gensheng said, Zhao Gang began to make arrangements according to Wang Gensheng's requirements.

In fact, laying mines is very simple. If it is a grenade, take out the fuse rope and make it into a tripwire. If it is a Japanese Type 97 grenade, just pull out the safety pin and bury it in the ground.

Although the modified grenades and hand grenades have a delay of four or five seconds, it is difficult to kill if the reaction is fast enough, but it can delay the Japanese attack.

Wang Gensheng looked at the sky and didn't dare to stay in Zhao Gang's position any longer, so he returned to his own position. There was almost no position here, and everyone was hiding on the hillside covered with weeds.

···········
The waiting time was long. Just when Wang Gensheng was about to fall asleep, Li Xiu, who had been observing with a telescope beside him, suddenly whispered to Wang Gensheng:
"Deputy regimental commander, they're coming! They're coming! The Japs are coming!"

After Li Xiu's reminder, Wang Gensheng suddenly woke up, and then he realized that the sky had turned from black to slightly blue, so his vision had improved. So Wang Gensheng raised his binoculars to look. He then discovered that Yamamoto Ikki's special forces had already been transported to the cliff behind Chenjiayu Village. As long as they climbed up the cliff and went forward another 500 meters, they would be at the headquarters.

At this time, Yamamoto Ikki had already begun to command the special forces members to throw ropes and start climbing the cliff.

In response to this, Baili Xiu was a little impatient and asked Wang Gensheng:
"Deputy Commander, should we open fire now? Otherwise, it will be difficult to defeat the Japanese once they climb over the cliff!"

But Wang Gensheng was not in a hurry. He planned to wait until the first wave of attacking Japanese special forces climbed up the cliff before attacking, putting them in a dilemma.

However, what Yamamoto Ikki, who was commanding the special forces to climb the cliff, did not know was that the Japanese observation group who were preparing to observe his surprise attack and decapitation battle had suffered a disaster.

It just happened to drive into Li Yunlong's ambush circle, so Li Yunlong, who had been prepared, immediately responded.

The fierce attack caused heavy casualties among the observation group, especially the grenade-throwing team. You have to know that this was the team Wang Gensheng had trained when he was in the independent regiment.

Whether it is the bombing distance or the bombing accuracy, it is the best in the entire regiment.

In addition, they had no idea that Li Yunlong would lie in ambush here! Therefore, although the senior commanders of the Japanese observation group gathered, including a group leader, several wing commanders and battalion commanders, the squadron leaders were not qualified to appear in the observation group.

However, the observation group, who thought they were very safe, naturally did not bring many soldiers for protection. Therefore, after just one wave of attacks, only a few senior commanders of the observation group were left.

When Li Yunlong saw that the battle was already decided, he immediately became arrogant and shouted loudly:

"Stop fighting, stop shooting, don't kill that commander, I want to fight him, comrades, capture that little devil commander alive, charge!"

At this time, a Japanese soldier who knew Chinese said:
"Don't move! Our captain has something to say! Our captain has a proposal. To demonstrate the courage of our soldiers, we have decided to fight your army one on one until we die. I wonder if your army can accept the challenge!"

Li Yunlong agreed to the proposal of the little devil's captain without hesitation:
"Alright! Don't move, let's fight the devils alone! I can't let the devils laugh at our independent regiment for not daring to fight with bayonets! This will damage my honor, and I still have to stay in this area in the future!"

After saying that, Li Yunlong was ready to go himself, but at this time Wei Dayong, holding a red tassel spear, stopped Li Yunlong and signaled Li Yunlong that he could go.

Li Yunlong was naturally very happy to see Wei Dayong, a master of the independent regiment, going up. After all, Li Yunlong was not sure of defeating the Japanese commander, and it would be bad if he made a fool of himself. But it was different for Wei Dayong, a master of Shaolin Temple who could knock him down with one palm.

I have to say that this little Japanese captain is really good at fighting. He wields the samurai sword very well. If Li Yunlong faces him, he may not win, and there is even a greater possibility of failure. After Wei Dayong exchanged several moves with the captain using the red tassel spear, he understood the captain's moves.

Without hesitation, he shot and killed the Japanese commander when he attacked again.

The remaining Japanese soldiers were frightened by the fight with Zhang Dabiao and were ready to use grenades to fight to the death, but Li Yunlong saw through their plan and shot them dead.
