When it is broken, it is broken; when it is continued, it is chaotic.
Colonel Yamamoto knew this truth well. After Zhu Ziming finished speaking, he began to issue orders: "The second assault team will stay and continue to pretend to attack the village entrance to disperse the Eighth Route Army forces..."
"Others follow me around to the east to raid Zhaojiayu... We must rush into Zhaojiayu tonight and cause trouble at the headquarters of the New Second Regiment..."
Li Yunlong personally defended the entrance to the village, thinking he could have a good fight with the Yamamoto special agent team.
As a result, the ambush he had arranged at the entrance of the village appeared. They just became cowards and stopped raiding the village entrance.
But Li Yunlong did not underestimate them.
Although Colonel Yamamoto only left one or twenty team members to pretend to attack the village entrance, their powerful assault capability was no less than that of two infantry squads of Japanese soldiers, so Li Yunlong could not help but be careless.
"Boom boom..."
The two grenade launchers equipped by Yamamoto's special agent team suddenly joined the battle and killed two nearby machine gun groups.
"Bang bang..."
Several rounds of gunfire suddenly sounded at the entrance to the village. Two machine gunners not far away fell to the ground with two bloody holes in their heads...
Li Yunlong originally thought that the Yamamoto special agent team was not equipped with rifles, but had strong close combat capabilities. Unexpectedly, they learned a lesson and equipped the troops with Sanba Gai.
This means that you can use rifles and heavy machine guns to suppress them from a distance, hit them, and render the submachine guns they are equipped with useless. They can also use rifles and grenade launchers to attack you from a distance.
Judging from the analysis of the previous confrontation, their marksmanship is very powerful. It is not an exaggeration to say that they can pierce an enemy with a hundred steps.
Li Yunfei immediately made targeted adjustments, raised his eyebrows and began to issue orders: "Our grenade launchers will counterattack immediately..."
"The enemy is hiding at the entrance of the village. Don't save me the grenades...blow them all into pieces..."
Yamamoto's team moved very quickly.
While Li Yunlong was fighting at the entrance of the village with his remaining troops, he had already taken a detour back to the east of the village with the remaining thirty or so team members.
Colonel Yamamoto glanced at the Eighth Route Army security position in front of him that was already under martial law and began to issue orders.
"As soon as the gunfire rings out here, the Eighth Route Army from other places will definitely send reinforcements here... The special team must rush to capture Zhaojiayu before the Eighth Route Army reinforcements encircle this place..."
"The third assault team directly attacks...the fire team provides fire cover...must attack Zhaojiayu in one assault..."
The east of the village is indeed not suitable for ambushing troops, but Li Yunlong planted dozens of landmines on the only way the Japs must pass...
An explosion accompanied by "Boom..." sounded outside the village, and various explosions sounded like thunder...
There were also some mines that exploded one after another. It was obvious that they had stepped on the series of mines carefully prepared by the New Second Regiment...
Watching the fireballs continue to sound in the middle of the assault team, each subordinate is like a paper toy, being blown away...
No matter how stupid Yamamoto was, he knew he had been fooled. He shouted with a heartbroken look on his face: "Retreat...the assault team will retreat immediately...This is a trap of the Eighth Route Army. We have fallen into the trap..."
After giving the order, he grabbed Zhu Ziming's collar again, raised a pair of red eyes, and said with a murderous look on his face: "Tell me... what's going on!"
"Didn't you tell me that the defense in the east of the village is very weak? Where did those mines come from?"
"Did you betray us...want to join forces with Li Yunlong to kill us!"
"Colonel, calm down... I really don't know what's going on... There are no mines here during the day..." Zhu Ziming didn't know what was going on. When he saw Colonel Yamamoto staring at him with murderous intent, he might be ready at any time. He ended his life with a knife, his face full of panic, and he begged for mercy with a look of fear.
"Bagya Road!"
Colonel Yamamoto really wanted to kill Zhu Ziming with a knife, but he held back at the last moment.
Judging from Zhu Ziming's reaction, he really didn't know about the landmines in the east of the village!
Perhaps the landmines here, like the ambush at the entrance of the village, were temporarily arranged by Li Yunlong to ensure the safety of his wedding.
And he didn’t completely fail…
Excluding the dozen team members who were killed by landmines just now, there are still nearly twenty subordinates around, plus the second detachment staying at the entrance of the village, the total force must be more than thirty people, and they are still capable of fighting.
As the officer of the Independent Regiment, Zhu Ziming stays in Zhaojiayu every day, so he must know the surrounding topography better than himself...
Keeping him is definitely more useful than killing him...
His mind was running rapidly, thinking quickly about ways to break the situation. After a while, a small mound in the northeast of the village came into view.
His eyes lit up and he said: "The Eighth Route Army ambush can block our special agent team members, but they cannot block the artillery shells we fire..."
"Immediately occupy the high ground in front, set up mortars, and destroy the headquarters of the New Second Regiment from a long distance..."
"Mr. Zhu Ziming, this is the last chance I give you...immediately direct mortars to destroy the headquarters of the New Second Regiment, and then lead us to evacuate the battlefield..."
"Use the radio to contact the garrison at the stronghold...and ask them to immediately go back to the northeast of the village to support our breakout..."
In less than ten minutes, two mortars were set up...
Under Zhu Ziming's guidance, all the black muzzles were aimed at the regiment headquarters compound...
Colonel Yamamoto squatted nearby and ordered while observing the village: "First fire two rounds of high-explosive bombs...blow out all the Eighth Route Army troops in the house...and then fire gas bombs...inject all the gas bombs we brought into the village... …”
"This is our only chance to kill Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, and Kong Jie at the same time... fire..."
“Boom…”
Two cannonballs flew out of the barrel at the same time. In less than two seconds, two fireballs shot up in the middle of the yard that Zhu Ziming pointed out...
It took more than a second before the violent explosion reached everyone's ears...
Several Eighth Route Army soldiers rushed out of the room, and there were a few ordinary people among them...
"Boom boom..."
The shelling continued, and a second round of shells hit the crowd...
Several common people fell in the yard in response...
“Boom…”
The mortar continued to fire, but this time it fired poison gas bombs. Although there was no explosion as loud as the high-explosive bomb, its power was several times, even dozens of times, that of the high-explosive bomb...
After all ten poison gas bombs landed, the headquarters of the New Second Regiment and a dozen surrounding yards were completely enveloped in poison gas!
In Yamamoto's view, even if Li Yunlong wanted to run away, he could not outrun the speed of the poisonous gas...
Li Yunlong will undoubtedly die...
"Blow up the mortars... prepare to break out and retreat..." Colonel Yamamoto ordered again, without any hesitation at all...
But the goddess of luck did not always patronize him. He had just retreated less than a hundred meters with about 20 subordinates, when a series of gunshots suddenly rang out from the front.
"Da da da... bang bang bang..."
Colonel Yamamoto immediately fell down, but a few of his subordinates were still a little slow to react and fell to the ground without moving.
Zhu Ziming happened to fall next to Yamamoto. The bullet drilled a bloody hole in his body. It was a penetrating wound. The blood was like a fountain, pouring out from the muzzle of the gun behind him...
"Bagya Road...the reinforcements of the New Second Regiment are coming..." Colonel Yamamoto ordered while observing the enemy's situation.
"The opponent only has one company...covered by machine guns...the others go over and defeat them with submachine guns...kill them all..."
Blocking the road was the most powerful battalion of the New Second Regiment. They only had one company, but they had very strong firepower...
Including the light and heavy machine guns temporarily sent by the 23rd Battalion, the entire company is equipped with a total of six light machine guns and one heavy machine gun.
Although the Yamamoto Special Agent Team is very powerful, people are still being killed in the face of powerful firepower...
Colonel Yamamoto saw it in his eyes and felt pain in his heart...
These team members were all elite special operations personnel trained by himself. The death of one of them would make him heartbroken for a long time.
But he had no other choice. If he wanted to survive, he could only let these special forces members who were good at sneak attacks fight positional warfare.
"Da da da... bang bang bang..."
At the critical moment, a burst of gunfire suddenly rang out from the back of the Eighth Route Army, and the firepower of the machine guns intercepting them in front was suddenly weakened by half.
Colonel Yamamoto took a long breath and shouted with excitement: "The response troops are coming..."
"Machine gun cover, cooperate with the supporting troops to defeat the Eighth Route Army blocking troops...Leave the battle immediately, don't be reluctant to fight..."
At the entrance of Zhaojiayu Village, when he saw the Japanese who were feinting to attack and started to retreat, Li Yunlong certainly wouldn't just watch the cooked duck slip away from his mouth. He immediately rushed out of the bunker and chased after him with his guards.
"Don't follow too closely..." Li Yunlong ordered while chasing.
"The submachine guns equipped by Yamamoto's special agent team are not just for free... When they see the Japanese, they use rifles and grenade launchers to greet the enemy. We must not let them kill us with a carbine..."
"Commander..." Zhang Dabiao, chief of staff and commander of the first battalion, suddenly rushed over.
"The Yamamoto special agent team that took a detour to the northeast of the village has broken out!"
"Damn it...how did you do it...a main force camp can't even be surrounded by dozens of little Japs? It's a waste..."
Zhang Dabiao said aggrievedly: "In addition to the Yamamoto special agent team, more than 400 Japanese and puppet troops suddenly appeared behind us...attacked from front to back...The second company only lasted ten minutes and was defeated..."
Li Yunlong didn't care about that. He raised the box cannon and ordered: "I don't care about this... the cooked duck flew away from your mouth, and I must catch it back..."
"I'm chasing them all. We must kill the Yamamoto special agent team..."
"Yes, leader..." Zhang Dabiao loudly accepted the order...
When Li Yunlong led Zhang Dabiao to hunt down the Yamamoto special agent team, Zhaojiayu was already in chaos.
Ten poison gas bombs may sound like a small number, but they are extremely powerful.
With the regiment headquarters as the center, a radius of forty to fifty meters was shrouded in poisonous gas.
In order to avoid alerting the enemy, Li Yunlong was confident enough to block the attack of Yamamoto's special agent team and prevent them from entering the village, so he did not evacuate the people.
When Yamamoto's special agent team fired poison gas bombs, all the people stayed in their homes.
When the poison gas filled the air, the villagers were poisoned to death in their own homes before they could move.
