The commander of the 358th Regiment of the Guomindang Army, Chu Yunfei, had just received a report. A small, secretive Japanese army unit drove into the Japanese army's western stronghold in four trucks. The insider intelligence officer found that the Japanese army unit had disappeared that night, and the truck was still in the western stronghold. What was particularly noteworthy was that this small Japanese army was equipped with automatic weapons, and their attire was strange. It was not the standard military uniform of the Japanese army, and there was no military rank on the clothing.
Colonel Chu Yunfei opened the military map in silence. He thought to himself," This is strange. What is the purpose of this well-equipped Japanese army?" They couldn't possibly be here to visit the West Gathering Stronghold, right? Since their whereabouts were mysterious, they must have made a big move. However, judging from the number of people, it didn't seem like they could do anything big.
He looked at the blank area between the Japanese strongholds on the map, where the red and blue arrows representing the enemy's and enemy's situation crisscrossed. The strongholds of the Japanese and puppet troops were distributed along the railway roads, and the base of the Eighth Route Army was in the mountains. The plains and hills were dotted with guerrilla zones, some belonging to the Kuomintangs and some belonging to the Eighth Route Army. His eyes fell on the area around the Xiji stronghold. He first ruled out the fact that the Japanese troops would not move along the railway to other strongholds. Otherwise, it would be taking off their pants and farting. He could just drive the truck there. Why would he store the truck in Xiji? If this small group of Japanese troops entered the plains or hilly areas, they would never lose their tracks. His intelligence network was not for nothing. There was only one possibility left. They had entered the mountains. He was shocked and used the slide rule to measure the straight-line distance. He understood in his heart that they were going for Li Yunlong. It was over. It was too late to inform him. He knew that Li Yunlong's regiment did not even have a radio station. Whether this kid lived or died depended on his luck. However, he believed that Li Yunlong was not to be trifled with. It would not be easy for the Japanese army, which had less than a hundred people, to take down Li Yunlong.
Chu Yunfei, who had gone to military school, had never heard of the theory of special operations. This was not his fault. He could only blame the military science of China at that time for being too backward. He didn't think much of this small Japanese army, but he still decided to help Li Yunlong. He called the Chief of Staff and ordered," Inform the mortar company to secretly move to the periphery of the West Gathering Stronghold tonight and fire the elemental artillery according to the previous measurement. Their target was the field in the stronghold. They had to blow up those trucks first. Second, order the 1st Battalion to prepare for battle and set up an ambush at the entrance of the mountain. Hehe, if Li Yunlong has a good appetite and swallows all these devils, I will have wasted my trip. If he can't swallow them all, I will buy the rest.”
He put on his belt, his gun, and the Zhongzheng sword that the chairman had given him. He thought,"Li Yunlong will never be willing to bow down to the chairman in the battle sequence of the" national army."After the war with Japan, this kid will definitely cause trouble. Sigh, perhaps in the near future, we brothers will meet on the battlefield."
Colonel Yamamoto was leading his special agent team on a rugged mountain road. His face was ashen as he observed the surrounding mountains as he walked. At this time, no one in the team dared to talk to him. The team members all knew him. When this officer was in a bad mood, he liked to vent his anger on others.
The mountains in the northwest of Shanxi were barren. There was almost no vegetation, only drought-resistant shrubs. The ashen rocks were exposed, and the weathered gravel on the mountain path rustled under their feet. If they were not careful, they might roll into the mountain stream. Such mountains were very boring. There were no grass, wildflowers, waterfalls, springs, birds, and beasts. There was no poetry at all. The mountain was unusually quiet and lifeless. Looking up, the dangerous rocks and cliffs on both sides seemed to be pressing down at any time. Yamamoto's mood became worse and worse. This long-distance raid seemed to be not going well at all. His originally well-thought-out battle plan was thwarted in actual combat. The battle at Zhao Jiayu had challenged his authority in the special agent team. Although the team members did not say anything, their expressions showed dissatisfaction. This was how war was. No matter if your tactical command was appropriate or not, as long as you won, you were a hero. On the contrary, you would be a piece of sh * t and become the target of public criticism. The Eighth Route Army only had a total of more than 70 people in a regiment and a guard platoon. Their equipment was not as good as the Japanese army's equipment during the Russo-Japanese War in the early 20th century. In the crossfire, Yamamoto clearly felt that the Eighth Route Army's firepower was sparse and lacked training. The tactical command was also very primitive. Logically speaking, such an army would not be able to withstand a single blow. On the other hand, the Imperial Army Special Agent Team had more than 80 well-trained special forces soldiers. Their equipment was excellent and their firepower was fierce. They were not on the same level as the Eighth Route Army at all. In addition, they had reliable insider information and the sudden nature of their tactics. They could have won. However, they had lost more than 20 members in the battle, and two of them had fallen off the cliff while climbing. Especially the dozen or so team members at the front village entrance, none of them survived. All of them died. Thinking of this, Yamamoto Ichiki's heart ached so much that he trembled. These special forces were the only capital he had in the army. Although the 8th Route Army also lost more than 50 people, without Li Yunlong, this operation was meaningless. As for Li Yunlong's newlywed wife, that country bumpkin, Yamamoto didn't think that she had much value at all. With his way of thinking as a Japanese man, a man as famous as Li Yunlong wouldn't lack women. It was unrealistic to capture his woman and use her as a bargaining chip to make him submit. He might laugh it off and change women the next day. In the war in the east, it was unwise to use women as leverage. Colonel Yamamoto had to use a lot of effort to restrain himself from killing that country bumpkin. Since the secret service team was dispatched once, they had to give Shinozuka an explanation. It was better to leave this woman to Lieutenant General Shinozuka to deal with. As for the small village called Zhao Jiayu, Yamamoto didn't even think about it. He wiped out all the villagers and burned the village to the ground. They should pay for their actions.
Suddenly, intense gunshots came from the front. Yamamoto was stunned. The Vanguard Squad he sent out always maintained a distance of two kilometers from his team. The Vanguard Squad must have encountered trouble.
Li Yuan, the leader of the Vanguards, shouted through the walkie-talkie,""Yamamoto, we were ambushed. It seems to be the Chinese government. We can still hold on.”
The former Eighth Route Army security officer, Zhu Ziming, came over and said,"Mr. Colonel, that is the territory of Chu Yunfei of the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army. His reinforced regiment has more than 5000 people and a cannon battalion.”
Yamamoto glanced at Zhu Ziming from the corner of his eyes and ignored him. He looked down on this traitor. How could a person who dared to betray his own country expect him to be loyal to the Imperial Army?
"Report, the West Gathering base is calling. They have been bombarded and all their cars have been destroyed.”an officer reported.
Yamamoto looked ahead with his binoculars and muttered to himself,""Mr. Chu, I've long heard of your name. If I didn't meet you today, wouldn't it be too rude?”
Zhu Ziming's face turned pale as he said," Mr. Colonel, we can't fight. With just a few dozen of us, how can we strengthen our regiment with them?"”
Yamamoto chuckled, looking a little ferocious."Mr. Zhu, I don't have such a big appetite to eat up his entire regiment, but I'm still interested in eating up his command center. By the way, Mr. Zhu, are you sincere in cooperating with the Imperial Army?”
Zhu Ziming quickly calmed down." Mr. Colonel, there's an old saying in the Celestial Empire. The cunning rabbit dies, the dog is cooked.'Is the colonel going to burn the bridge after crossing the river?”
Yamamoto, who was well-versed in Chinese culture, understood what Zhu Ziming meant. This was a threat. As an intelligence agent who had been hiding beside Li Yun Long, his value was confirmed by Commander Xiao Zhong. You, as a senior officer, have no right to do anything to me, but you are wrong. Your value has disappeared after the battle at Zhao Family Valley. How can Xiao Zhong Jun still remember a small figure like you?
Yamamoto's expression softened as he said kindly,""What are you talking about? Mr. Zhu, don't misunderstand. I'm very willing to believe in your loyalty to the imperial army, but you should at least prove your loyalty. You won't object to joining the combat team now, right?”Yamamoto's expression changed as he ordered coldly,""Mr. Shixiong, Mr. Zhu will join your first combat team. He is not a guest, but a member of the special agent team. He has the same right as us to fight.”
Zhu Ziming helplessly took out his shell gun and said sarcastically,""Mr. Colonel, you've given me enough face. If I don't sell my life, I'll be a little ungrateful.”
Yamamoto ignored Zhu Ziming's sarcasm. At this moment, all the muscles in his body were tensed up, like a leopard pouncing on its prey for the last blow. The bloodthirsty desire and the passion of the battle made him almost happy. A set of battle plans to win by surprise had quickly formed in his mind.
"I will lead the first combat team to sneak attack this high point. The command center of the Chinese army must be located there. The second combat team sneaked up on the machine gun position. Inform the vanguard team to defend and wait for reinforcements to attract the firepower of the Chinese army. Everyone, please, attack!”
The murderous agents launched a deadly attack on opponents dozens of times more than them...
As soon as the battle started, Chu Yunfei and Li Yunlong had the same feeling that something was wrong. This small group of Japanese soldiers reacted too quickly. The Maxim heavy machine gun swept towards the defenseless Japanese soldiers. The group of Japanese soldiers reacted almost simultaneously. They rolled behind the rocks in different positions and fought back repeatedly. A few short shots took out two firing points. Only two Japanese soldiers were left on the mountain road, but the first battalion lost seven or eight brothers. Chu Yunfei had been fighting against the Japanese army since 1937. In the past six years, he was too familiar with the tactics of the Japanese infantry. He had never seen such a powerful opponent. Chu Yunfei ordered the mortars to open fire and kill these bastards. You think I can't do anything to you just because you're hiding behind a rock? "Boom!" "Boom!" The mortar shells blasted the two Japanese behind the rock into the sky. Chu Yunfei smiled with satisfaction.
"Boom!" "Boom!" Two more explosions. This time, it was not the Japanese that flew into the sky, but the mortars that had just been fired. Chu Yunfei broke out in cold sweat. Damn it, the grenade launcher of the Japanese seemed to have eyes. He became furious and shouted into the phone,"Battalion One, cover with light and heavy machine guns. Infantry, use your bayonet. Damn it, there are still seven or eight Japanese left. I will crush them to death even if I have to trample an entire battalion. Remember, leave one alive. I want to ask about the background of these Japanese.”
The machine guns roared wildly, and the brothers of the 1st Battalion charged forward with their bayonet. The gunshots behind the rock were very sparse. There was no continuous firing, only a scattered single shot. The soldiers fell one after another. A battalion commander was also killed. A bullet accurately passed through his heart. It was his major's badge and officer's uniform that killed him. A terrifying restlessness enveloped the attacking troops, and the soldiers retreated like a tide. The commanding officer waved his pistol and roared, ordering the troops to continue attacking. Before he could finish his sentence, a high-speed spinning bullet hit his head, and the huge impact sent him flying two meters backward.
In the command center, the regiment chief of staff, Lieutenant Colonel Lin Zhiqiang, wiped his cold sweat and said to Chu Yunfei,""Regimental commander, we can't fight this battle anymore. This is definitely not an ordinary Japanese army. Look, these Japanese soldiers are very experienced in actual combat. They dare to use a single shot to deal with a battalion-sized attack. They are all top-grade shooters, and their psychological quality is extremely stable. They can maximize the effectiveness of their limited ammunition.”
Chu Yunfei was using binoculars to observe the heavy machine gun position on the opposite high ground. A few " Maxim " heavy machine guns and a few " Azeroth " light machine guns were shooting at the rocks from above. Suddenly, the sound of machine guns on the opposite high ground stopped, and was replaced by the sound of submachine guns. Japanese soldiers wearing helmets and combat suits appeared in the telescope, shooting at the machine gunners with various skillful tactical movements. In the rain of bullets, the bodies of the brothers twitched as if they had been electrocuted…
As a professional soldier, Chu Yunfei's reaction was not slower than those special forces soldiers. He threw away his binoculars, turned around, picked up an American M3 submachine gun, and shouted,"The Japanese are climbing up from the cliff behind. Guard platoon, prepare for battle.”
Chu Yunfei's alertness saved his life. The mountain in the command center was more than ten meters higher than the machine gun position on the opposite side. Yamamoto, who always required precise timing, missed a trick this time. The two combat teams climbed at the same time, but because the height difference between the two mountains was more than ten meters, they were half a beat slower. If they met a commander with a slower brain, they might be able to make up for it. However, they happened to catch up with the agile Chu Yunfei, and Yamamoto failed on the verge of success.
Even so, half of the combat team led by Yamamoto Ichiki came up, while the rest were still climbing the cliff. The 358th Regiment Guard Platoon, equipped with all kinds of American submachine guns, rushed forward. The submachine guns of both sides hit the sand and stones. Half of the Japanese agents fell, and the Kuomingtang army also lay down. The two sides immediately used the rocks as cover to start a gun battle. The battle entered a confrontation. The most unfortunate ones were the Japanese soldiers who were climbing. They couldn't go up or down. As long as they showed their heads, they were beaten down. Zhu Ziming, who had just been honored to be accepted into the special agent team, was also hanging in the air.
The shrewd Chu Yunfei thought of something. He grabbed a grenade, pulled the matchlock, and waited for three to four seconds before throwing it out. The grenade exploded in the air at the edge of the cliff. The hot and sharp shrapnel hit two agents, and they screamed and fell into the mountain stream.
Chu Yunfei was happy and ordered,"Do it like this, blow him up."”More than a dozen grenades exploded on the edge of the cliff. Even the special forces soldiers with special skills were beaten up in the air. Another seven or eight people fell into the valley. Zhu Ziming did not touch the shrapnel. It's over, if I had known earlier…
Yamamoto was lying behind a rock, his muscles twitching in pain. He could only watch these seasoned special forces soldiers fall into the mountain stream. He had no choice. He wanted to catch Chu Yunfei and skin him alive, but his rationality told him that he could not let his emotions affect him. He shouted in pure Chinese,"Mr. Colonel, I have long heard of your name. Forgive me for being blunt, but there are not many officers in your army who can be called heroes, but Mr. Chu is an exception. Even our Commander Shinozuka thinks that Mr. Chu's head is worth a hundred thousand dollars. It is not a waste for a professional soldier to receive such an honor. I sincerely admire you. In today's battle, you really live up to your reputation. You were able to seize the opportunity to turn defeat into victory.”
"Oh, you're Yamamoto Ichiki. Nice to meet you, nice to meet you." Sir, you flatter me. I'm so ashamed that I don't have the face to meet my ancestors. Your small army of less than a hundred people almost took my head. If word gets out, I'll be laughed at by the heroes of the world.”
"No, no, Mr. Chu is too humble. I suggest we negotiate. You and I are both professional soldiers. We have no grudges against each other. When we meet on the battlefield, we serve our own masters and do our duty as soldiers. We really have no choice. If it weren't for the war, I would be willing to befriend a genius like Mister Chu.”
"Mr. Yamamoto, you must have the capital to negotiate. Your situation is worrying." Chu Yunfei smiled. I admit that your men took advantage of me at the foot of the mountain and took out my machine gun position, but I'm afraid you don't have such a big appetite to eat up my battalion. You know the situation on the mountain better than I do. Your Excellency is in a desperate situation unless you grow wings. Didn't Mr. Yamamoto want to be friends with me? Then put down your weapons and surrender. I guarantee your safety.”
Chief of Staff Lin Zhiqiang was a boorish man, and he was already impatient from listening. He scolded rudely,"Yamamoto, f * ck your ancestors. Give me a straight answer. Are you surrendering or not?”
Yamamoto was not angry at all. He said with a slight reproach,"Mr. Chu, your subordinates are too uneducated. This is not good. There is an old saying in your country that goes,'A soldier can be killed but not humiliated.' You and I are both officers, and officers have their own way of talking. Mr. Chu, I admit that I'm at a disadvantage, but there's one thing that you may not know. My soldiers have all received special training, and I'm sure you've already experienced their combat skills. If we insist on fighting, it will only be a life-and-death struggle and increase unnecessary bloodshed. Moreover, the terrain on the top of the mountain is narrow. No matter how many people Mr. Chu has, he will not be able to spread them out. Moreover, my special forces are all special shooters. Does Mr. Chu think it is worth it to continue fighting like this? Mr. Chu is a smart man. Why can't he consider negotiating? Both sides have their own victories and defeats in today's battle. At most, it will be a draw. If we retreat and end the battle with dignity, I believe it will be beneficial for both sides.”
A communications staff officer hurried over. Handing Chu Yunfei a telegram: According to reliable information, this enemy is the Japanese First Army in Shanxi directly under the special agent team, captain Yamamoto Ichiki Daisuke, the target of this sneak attack is the Eighth Route Army Li Yunlong's Zhaojiayu village, Li Yunlong led the troops to break out after the fierce battle, the Japanese army out of revenge, massacred the villagers, set fire to the village, hundreds of villagers in Zhaojiayu village did not survive.
The muscles on Chu Yunfei's face twitched a few times, but he soon regained his composure. With a wave of his hand, two flamethrowers with flamethrowers and fuel bottles on their backs moved forward. "Commander Yamamoto, you have no choice but to surrender unconditionally. Otherwise, I'll let you experience the taste of an American flamethrower." Chu Yunfei said loudly.”
It was quiet behind the rock. No one answered. "Attack!" Chu Yunfei ordered.
The light machine gun opened fire. This was a feint. In order to attract the Japanese firepower, there was a counterattack from behind the rock. The machine gunner was immediately shot. A few bullets hit the rock next to Chu Yunfei, causing stone powder to fly and gravel to splash on his face. The two flamethrowers had already chosen their positions. The Japanese soldiers did not stop firing. Two fire dragons rushed out. Two sticky napalm hit the side of the rock and splashed. The flames burned the blind spots behind the rock, and then the Japanese soldiers screamed in pain.
The 358th regiment guard platoon leader, under the leadership of Lieutenant Colonel Lin Zhiqiang, the chief of staff, rushed forward bravely. The submachine gun spewed fire, and the grenade flew past. After an explosion, the soldiers occupied the Japanese position. Lieutenant Colonel Lin Zhiqiang was surprised to find that there were only two Japanese corpses burned to charcoal behind the rock, and the rest were gone.
A sharp-eyed soldier noticed a rope hanging down the cliff. The rope was moving and tightening. He shouted," The Japanese are sliding down the rope..." He quickly cut the rope with a knife. A desperate scream came from the air, and a Japanese agent who finally slipped down the cliff fell into the mountain stream. The three Japanese soldiers responsible for the cover exchanged their lives for Yamamoto and the other agents to break through. In fact, when Yamamoto was negotiating, most of his soldiers had used this time to slide down the cliff. The always shrewd Chu Yunfei also missed a trick.
In this battle, the 358th regiment of the Kuomingtang army suffered more than 80 casualties, and the Japanese special agent team lost more than 30 people. Out of the 5000 men in the 358th Regiment, more than 80 of them had suffered casualties. And the Japanese special agent team in Li Yunlong and Chu Yunfei two strikes, more than 50 people died, the special agent team was greatly damaged. Yamamoto gritted his teeth and led the remaining troops to hide in Pingan County with Li Yunlong's new wife, Xiuqin.
Chu Yunfei, who was also gnashing his teeth, had failed on the verge of success. He swore to kill the Japanese special agent team and use Yamamoto's head to pay homage to his fallen brothers.
