Yang Zhihua was very excited to be able to join a unit like the New Regiment.
"It depends on whether you want to or not." Lin Zheng looked at Yang Zhihua and shrugged.
"Yes, of course I do." Yang Zhihua quickly replied,"I dreamed of joining such a strong Eighth Route Army team."”
When the other militiamen saw this, their eyes immediately revealed envious expressions.
Lin Zheng looked at the dozen militiamen who were in good physical condition. He pondered for a moment and said to them,"If you are willing, you can come together."”
After that, Lin Zheng's return team had more than ten militia members.
……
Zhengding County.
Xing Gang and Shen Quan had also rushed over early in the morning.
According to the interception route set by Lin Zheng, Xing Gang and Shen Quan set up an ambush at a mountain pass four to five kilometers away from Zhengding County.
If the Japanese troops in Zhengding County wanted to reinforce the Green Mountain Camp, they would have to pass through this mountain pass to reach the plains. Only then would they be able to rush to the Green Mountain Camp.
This mountain pass was in a special position. There were cliffs on both sides, and only a canyon about 15 to 16 meters wide in the middle could be passed through.
This kind of terrain was indeed a good place for sniping.
After Xing Gang and Shen Quan led the soldiers of the second and third battalions of the new regiment here, they immediately started digging trenches and building defensive sniper positions.
Their mission this time was crucial, and the enemy was unprecedentedly powerful.
The soldiers of the 2nd and 3rd Battalions added up to only 900.
And they were facing a troop of more than a thousand Japanese soldiers.
If the Japanese army were allowed to break through the blockade, the battle at the Green Mountain captive camp would be disrupted, and it was very likely that they would fail on the verge of success. Therefore, they could not take a step back.
Digging trenches, counting equipment, mobilizing before the battle…
After all the preparations were done, the soldiers of the 2nd and 3rd Battalions of the new regiment began to wait for the arrival of the enemy.
Half an hour after the Green Mountain prisoner-of-war camp sent out the message for help, the rumbling of marching echoed in the valley.
Because the canyon had a sound-absorbing function, the marching sound of the Japanese army was extremely loud, and the pressure was even more overwhelming.
Xing Gang and Shen Quan looked at each other and saw the determination in each other's eyes.
"Soldiers of the 2nd and 3rd Battalions, prepare for battle.”Xing Gang, as the temporary commander of the battlefield, shouted to all the soldiers present," Our battle this time is crucial to the main force attacking the Green Mountain Prison Camp. We must not let the Japanese cross our line of defense no matter what.”
"Iron-blooded battlefield, even if you die, you will still be honored!"
Xing Gang's last sentence was heard by every soldier of the Eighth Route Army.
"Iron-blooded battlefield, even if you die, you will still be honored!"
"Iron-blooded battlefield, even if you die, you will still be honored!"
"Iron-blooded battlefield, even if you die, you will still be honored!"
All the Eighth Route Army soldiers present shouted in unison, their voices shaking the sky.
For a moment, the momentum of the Eighth Route Army soared into the sky and rushed straight into the valley.
……
The Japanese troops marching in the canyon naturally heard this deafening sound.
The Japanese army's captain, Miyano Toshio, waved his hand and the Japanese army immediately stopped marching.
"It seems that the 8th Route Army is well prepared.”Miyano Toshio muttered to himself.
" But we have no other choice but to take this route." The vice-captain shook his head and said," If we take a detour, we'll be dead by the time we reach the Green Mountain Prison of War Camp."”
"Then let's charge over. I want to see how Tubo's lousy spears can stop us." Miyano Toshio snorted.”
After saying that, Miyano Toshio turned to look at the thousand soldiers behind him and said in a clear voice," All troops, get ready for battle. Advance at full speed and break through the blockade of the Eighth Route Army as quickly as possible.”
"Kill them!"
The two sides had yet to meet, but an incomparably dense battle intent had already begun to breed in the canyon.
"Kill!"
"Charge!"
The slightly chaotic sound of killing rang out. Soon, the Japanese soldiers rushed into the canyon and appeared in the sight of a new group of soldiers.
"Hit him!" Xing Gang immediately ordered.
The soldiers of the 2nd and 3rd Battalions raised their guns and started firing wildly.
"Bang bang bang…"
"Da da da…"
The chaotic gunshots instantly spread throughout the entire area, and dense bullets rushed into the canyon.
Seeing this, the Japanese also began to counterattack crazily.
For a moment, the entire canyon was filled with bullets and blood. From the beginning of the battle, the brutality of the war was vividly displayed.
The soldiers of the 2nd and 3rd battalions of the new regiment were mainly equipped with M1 Garand rifles, followed by a small number of Type 38 rifles.
The Japanese were all equipped with Type 38 rifles. The 2nd and 3rd Battalions of the new regiment had the upper hand in terms of firepower.
Facing the ferocious Japanese soldiers, the soldiers of the Second and Third Battalions did not retreat an inch and swore to defend their positions.
When the Japanese rushed up, they directly launched a hand-to-hand battle. The Japanese army wanted to end the battle quickly, but the new regiment, second battalion, and third battalion desperately resisted.
This battle was destined to end tragically.
In the end, the 2nd and 3rd battalions of the 8th Route Army had dragged the 1,000-strong Japanese army to their deaths in the canyon.
