"Captain, although climbing the cliff can shorten our ambush route, there seems to be Chinese soldiers guarding the cliff.”A soldier said,
"How many guards are there on the cliff?”Captain Yamamoto said,
"Captain, I've scouted carefully. There's at least a platoon of Chinese soldiers on the cliff.”
When Yamamoto Ichiki heard that there was a platoon of defenders, he thought for a moment and said,"Ono-kun, how are the defenses of the Chinese Army up there? Can we quietly kill them all?”
"Captain, the China Army is heavily guarded. Moreover, the China Army has set up machine gun fortifications and fortifications. It's daytime now, so I'm afraid it'll be difficult to quietly eliminate them.”
After hearing his subordinate's report, Yamamoto Ichiki cursed angrily.
"Baka, damn it!"
At this moment, a squad leader beside him suggested,""Captain, it's too dangerous to attack the cliff. Why don't we choose the second route?”
Yamamoto Ichiki shook his head helplessly and explained,"" If we had taken a detour, I'm afraid the observation group would have left the base of the Eighth Route Army long ago. Without the audience to witness our assault on the Eighth Route Army headquarters, it would be meaningless..."
"Ha Yi, captain is right."
The Japanese captain retreated behind Yamamoto Ichiki and asked,""Captain, what should we do now?”
Yamamoto Ichiki looked at the cliff not far away and calmly thought about whether to advance or retreat.
Giving up on a surprise attack like this was clearly not Yamamoto Ichiki's style of battle.
Moreover, before the operation, he had promised Shinozuka Yoshio that he would definitely be successful in the operation. Otherwise, he would cut open his stomach to apologize.
Since Commander Shinozuka Yoshio trusted him so much, Yamamoto Ichiki would not give up halfway.
After thinking carefully for a while, Yamamoto Ichiki ordered,""Team One, prepare to climb the cliff. Once you're on the cliff, quickly set up a fire position and cover Team Two as they climb!”
"Understood, Captain!"
The Japanese captain nodded and immediately led the first team of Japanese to the bottom of the cliff.
The cliff behind the independent regiment was a natural barrier. The cliff was more than ten meters high, and the mountain wall was very smooth and steep. There was almost no foothold.
It was very difficult for regular troops to climb up such a steep cliff barehanded without strict professional climbing training.
The special forces had undergone all kinds of training. The small cliff could not stop these special forces at all.
A few Japanese soldiers who were good at climbing walked to the bottom of the cliff. Then, they took out the short daggers they carried and inserted them into the cracks of the rocks. Then, they slowly climbed up the cliff like geckos.
The Japanese special forces trained by Yamamoto Ichiki were indeed extraordinary.
The soldiers of the Japanese Special Forces used only a dagger to successfully climb the steep cliff that was more than ten meters high in just a few minutes.
After the Japanese soldiers reached the top of the cliff, they quickly threw down the ropes they carried.
"Team one, quickly climb up the cliff!”The Japanese team leader ordered the soldiers behind him.
The Japanese soldiers of the special forces stepped forward and grabbed the rope, then climbed up to the top of the cliff one by one.
The Japanese special forces were well-trained. In a short while, more than a dozen Japanese easily reached the cliff.
Then, the Japanese soldiers quickly found a favorable terrain nearby to establish defensive positions and firing points.
The soldiers of the Independent Regiment guarding near the cliff were very vigilant.
However, the bushes around the cliff top were good at hiding, and there was also a grass that was more than a meter tall that blocked the view.
If someone climbed up from the bottom of the cliff, it would be difficult for the guards to detect the enemy at the first moment.
The Japanese firepower team had not yet set up a firing point. The Japanese soldiers in charge of the assault crouched down and used the cover to quietly approach the position of the Independent Regiment.
The soldiers of the Independent Regiment patrolled back and forth. The Japanese assault troops moved very carefully. The soldiers had long discovered the enemies hidden in the grass.
The Japanese soldiers quietly sneaked to the side of the Independent Regiment's position. At this moment, the two sides were less than a hundred meters apart.
The Japanese soldiers hid in the grass like a pack of wolves hiding in the dark.
Their cold gazes pierced through the gaps in the grass and stared at the patrolling sentries.
This distance was already within the attack range of the Japanese assault team.
The leader of the Japanese team scouted the situation at the camp, then raised his hand and gestured to the Japanese soldiers beside him.
The dozen or so Japanese soldiers around them immediately followed the team leader's sign language instructions. They had not reached the attack point yet.
While the Japanese soldiers were moving, one of them accidentally fell, causing the gun to go off.
"Pa…"
A crisp sound of a submachine gun came from the grass
Although the soldiers of the Independent Regiment did not discover the enemy, they immediately became alert when they heard the gunshots.
The company commander of the Independent Regiment guarding the cliff was a veteran who had experienced the battle of Yang Village. They could clearly distinguish that it was the sound of a submachine gun.
There were not many troops that could use submachine guns. Other than a few elite national troops, those were the Japanese.
Soon, the company commander shouted, reminding the soldiers around him.
"Brothers, there's an enemy in the grass.”
Get the grenades ready, let's shoot the rabbits and see what kind of animals are hiding in the grass!
All the machine gun teams set up their light machine guns and Type 92 heavy machine guns, aiming at the grass...
After the Japanese team leader knew that they had been exposed, he angrily scolded his subordinates.
"Baka, we've alerted the enemy. Which idiot fired the gun?”
" Reporting, Leader," a Japanese soldier replied." Kimura-Kun fell down just now. His gun accidentally went off."”
"Baka Yalu, what an idiot!"
While the Japanese were talking, suddenly, the sound of a machine gun rang out from a firing position of the Independent Regiment.
"Da da da, da!"
A wave of machine gun bullets flew into the grass, smashing the grass into pieces.
Stray bullets mixed with fire lines flew around the grass.
The machine gunners of the independent regiment didn't see where the enemy was. Their firepower didn't have much of a hit rate.
The Japanese soldiers were crawling on the ground, and stray bullets flew past their heads and sides.
The Japanese in the grass had been exposed. The Japanese team leader had no choice but to order a strong attack.
"Everyone, listen up. Prepare to throw the cantaloupes grenade given by the division chief!”The first battalion commander, Zhao Youde, said,
The Japanese soldiers responded and saw grenades explode above their heads.
The special forces advanced forward and killed the Chinese soldiers in front of them! The Japanese captain said,
The special forces were elite soldiers who were experienced in shooting. They followed the bullet line and fired back.
"Machine gun team, fire support! After shouting, I turned around and saw 200 grenades covering their position."
The Japanese soldiers got up, holding their weapons and using the cover around them as they fired while charging.
"Da da da, da!"
The sound of submachine guns rang out in the bushes.
In an instant, countless bullets flew out from the grass and headed towards the position of the Independent Regiment soldiers.
"Be careful of the enemy's firepower. Hide! Machine gun team, quickly change positions!”
The soldiers of the Independent Regiment were not to be trifled with. As soon as they exposed their firing point, the heavy machine guns shifted and began to fire at the Japanese.
The Japanese soldiers of the special forces were killed by the heavy machine guns of the independent regiment after a few shots.
Not long after, more than ten Japanese assault soldiers rushed out of the bushes without fear of death, wanting to charge at the camp aggressively.
The soldiers guarding the position opened fire with their heavy and light machine guns.
"Brothers, don't let the Japanese rush over. Beat them up, beat up these bastards! Second Battalion Commander Qian Dalong said as he threw a grenade!”
"Da da da, da!"
Boom! Boom!
The soldiers of the Independent Regiment engaged in a fierce exchange of fire with the attacking Japanese.
Heavy machine gun bullets and machine gun bullets flew back and forth between the two sides.
The moment the Independent Regiment soldiers exchanged fire with the Japanese assault troops, their firing points were completely exposed.
The Japanese assault soldiers formed a combat team of two to three people. They suppressed the enemy with their firepower while moving forward and firing.
There were 500 people in the Independent Regiment's position. The soldiers tried their best to fire and throw grenades at the enemy. Facing the attack of more than a dozen Japanese, the soldiers had a hard time dealing with it.
"Brothers, throw grenades! Don't let the Japanese get past the defense zone!”The first battalion commander said,
Boom! Boom!
"Machine Gunners, fire! Hit them hard!"
The soldiers of the Independent Regiment hid in their positions and aimed at the enemy.
Even if the soldiers of the Independent Regiment only exposed a small part of their bodies outside the cover, the Japanese assault soldiers could still hit the target from a distance.
The difference in weapons and equipment between the two sides was huge. In terms of firepower, it was obvious that the warriors of the independent regiment were at a disadvantage.
Within a few minutes of their exchange of fire, the Special Agent Team's firepower was suppressed by the Independent Regiment.
The two sides were 150 meters away from each other, fighting fiercely.
In fact, if the Japanese Special Forces attacked forcefully, it would be very difficult to break through the defense line of the Independent Regiment.
However, if they attacked forcefully like this, the enemy would suffer a lot of casualties.
There was another reason why the Japanese didn't rush to attack, which was to attract the firepower and expose the firing point of the independent regiment.
The Japanese assault troops were drawing fire from the front while waiting for the Japanese firepower team to set up small mortars.
"Mortar team, attack!”The second battalion commander ordered.
The soldiers of the Japanese fire team quickly operated the mortars and aimed at the firing points of the Independent Regiment.
"Bang!" A 60mm grenade flew towards the cliff.
Soon, the grenade accurately hit the special agent team's machine gun team.
"Boom!" The grenade exploded, sending the Japanese and their weapons flying out.
Regardless of whether it was weapons, equipment, or military training, the Japanese Special Forces were much stronger than the Independent Regiment.
The only fire support on the special agent team's position was gone.
Without the support of heavy firepower, the few of them would not be able to fight against the independent regiment.
"Pa, pa, pa!"
The soldiers stayed in their positions and continued to fight the Japanese.
