Monk Wei and the others rode to the flank of the Japanese brigade. In order to let the British soldiers and Yuanzheng Army soldiers learn their guerrilla tactics, Monk Wei led the special forces members to take the lead in attacking the Japanese army.
Monk Wei and others rode towards the Japanese marching group. When the Japanese army discovered them, they detached some troops to meet them.
Monk Wei and the others did not rush directly towards the Japanese army. When they reached a place more than 200 meters away from the Japanese army, they jumped off their horses and set up mortars to bombard the Japanese marching brigade.
From a distance of more than 200 meters, the special operations team members used precise marksmanship to attack the oncoming Japanese troops.
The Japanese marching brigade encountered artillery fire and suffered many casualties. They saw that the small troops sent out could not charge forward, so they detached some people from the marching group to come to support.
Seeing a large group of Japanese troops rushing over, Monk Wei and others immediately mounted their horses and evacuated quickly.
The cavalrymen of the British Army and the Yuanzheng Army understood the fighting style of Wei Monk and others. Monk Wei asked for their opinions, and they said they understood.
So Monk Wei divided the special forces into two groups, leading soldiers from the British Army and Yuanzheng Army to attack the Japanese army in turn.
The captain of the Japanese army hated these attackers very much, but these guys came and went like the wind on horseback, which made him feel as if a cannon was beating mosquitoes and was unable to use up his strength.
He had to detach an infantry squadron to guard against the attack by Monk Wei and others, and he led the rest of the Japanese army to the village.
After careful observation, the Japanese commander did not surround the entire village, but placed his troops in the southwest directions.
He also saw clearly that the terrain around the village was flat, and if a forced attack was carried out, the troops would suffer heavy casualties.
He hoped to launch attacks from two directions in the southwest, drive the anti-Japanese armed forces who entered the village out of the village, and annihilate them in the field.
Seeing this situation, Xu Dalong also readjusted his combat deployment. In order to avoid Japanese artillery fire and cause heavy casualties, he hid the troops who had withdrawn from the northeast in the room, preparing to rotate with the troops currently holding on to the position, so that some troops could get a good rest at any time.
The Japanese infantry brigade brought two Type 92 infantry guns, and the mortar firepower far exceeded that of the coalition forces. The Japanese army first launched a round of artillery bombardment, and then dispatched an infantry squadron to attack the village.
During the Japanese shelling, Xu Dalong hid behind the wall. When the Japanese army stopped shelling, he also held a sniper rifle and fought with the soldiers.
He saw a Japanese commander waving his command knife and rushing over with a group of Japanese soldiers.
He raised his hand and fired a shot. The bullet hit the Japanese officer in the head. He fell to the ground and threw the command knife far away.
At this time, Xu Dalong was more than 250 meters away from the Japanese commander, and his accurate marksmanship won the applause of the coalition officers and soldiers.
Immediately afterwards, Xu Dalong fired two more shots, killing a Japanese machine gunner and the deputy shooter next to him.
The Japanese army encountered a sniper attack at such a long distance. Their morale suddenly dropped a lot and their formation became very chaotic. However, the morale of the coalition officers and soldiers increased a lot.
The Japanese army originally stopped only about 100 meters away from the enemy's position, spread out a skirmish line, and launched an attack.
Xu Dalong's long-range strike forced the Japanese army to disperse now and was forced to change their inherent offensive steps. For a while, they were really uncomfortable.
For Xu Dalong, the Japanese soldiers dispersed and had no impact on him at all.
He didn't care so much, and calmly shot at the Japanese soldiers one after another. With every shot, a Japanese soldier was killed.
In this way, Xu Dalong killed more than a dozen Japanese troops before they could launch a charge.
Although the Japanese were very brave, they were all frightened when they saw this situation. They simply lay down on the ground and fired their guns ping-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-the-charge).
Xu Dalong had excellent eyesight. He could still see the Japanese soldiers lying on the ground clearly. His sniper rifle was equipped with a scope, so it was no problem to hit the Japanese soldiers lying on the ground.
After a while, more than a dozen Japanese soldiers were killed by Xu Dalong.
The Japanese couldn't bear it anymore, so they got up and ran away.
The Japanese squadron leader felt very embarrassed and jumped up to stop the escaping Japanese soldiers. Xu Dalong discovered him and shot him in the head again.
When the Japanese soldiers saw that the squadron leader was dead, they ran away. Some even threw away their guns.
Xu Dalong still refused to let them go and continued to shoot them one after another. The Japanese soldiers ran 300 meters, but they still couldn't avoid his precise blow.
The coalition officers and soldiers guarding the position were a little nervous when they saw the Japanese attacking. When they saw Xu Dalong smashing the Japanese attack with just one man and one gun, they were all in admiration.
Li Fei said with admiration: "Sir Xu is indeed the God of War, he truly deserves his reputation!"
The British major also extended his thumb towards Xu Dalong and praised his good marksmanship.
The captain of the Japanese army was originally full of confidence, thinking that he would soon be able to invade the village and drive the anti-Japanese elements out of the village. Unexpectedly, he prepared artillery fire for such a long time and threw so many artillery shells. The infantry attack had not officially started before he was beaten back.
He had never encountered such a scene before, and coupled with the surprise attack launched by Monk Wei and others just now, he felt that the enemy force they faced was completely different from the ones he had encountered before, and it was a difficult character. .
After thinking about it, he ordered the artillery to fire again, replaced the infantry squadron just now with a new infantry squadron, and was ready to attack.
Xu Dalong and the others came out with a Type 92 infantry gun this time, and he brought this gun into the village. He saw that the Japanese army's biggest threat to the coalition forces was the artillery, and decided to teach them a lesson.
Xu Dalong asked a few soldiers to quietly push the Type 92 infantry cannon into a small alley near the village. He personally conducted observations, calculated the shooting points, and directed the gunners to fire shells at the Japanese artillery.
The coalition's Type 92 infantry cannon was so accurate that the first shell landed in front of a Japanese Type 92 infantry cannon, directly blowing away the Japanese Type 92 infantry cannon. Several artillerymen were all killed.
Xu Dalong directed the gunners to fire nine shells in one breath, directly destroying the Japanese artillery position.
The Japanese captain was stunned and didn't understand why the enemy's artillery fire was so accurate.
When he was depressed, Xu Dalong discovered him and immediately directed the gunner to fire a cannonball at him.
The artillery fire was so accurate that the shells hit the Japanese captain directly and blew him to pieces.
When the Japanese soldiers saw this scene, they were all terrified and didn't know what to do.
Seeing that the Japanese army had been shaken, Xu Dalong fired two more artillery shells, killing the Japanese squadron leader and heavy machine gunner who took over the command of the group leader.
The Japanese soldiers couldn't bear such a horrific blow, so they dropped the corpses on the ground and retreated in the direction they came from.
】
The officers and soldiers of the coalition forces really didn't expect that one man, one gun and one cannon could defeat an entire Japanese infantry brigade. Everyone couldn't help but cheer.
Seeing that morale was available, Xu Dalong decided to completely defeat the Japanese infantry brigade, so he ordered the coalition forces to leave the village and pursue the Japanese army.
Seeing the coalition forces chasing them out, the Japanese were good at field combat. They ran to a small slope and stopped, preparing to counterattack the coalition forces.
Upon seeing this, Monk Wei and others hurried over to attack. When he saw the Japanese commander waving his command knife, he picked up his sniper rifle and shot him dead at a distance of 240m.
The Japanese commanders were shot to death one after another, and the morale of the soldiers became increasingly low. They were unwilling to fight, got up and ran away, and the officers could not stop them even if they wanted to.
Xu Dalong led the coalition forces to pursue them all the way. The Japanese army just ran as hard as they could. In the end, everyone just wanted to escape, and no one cared about their formation, and they completely collapsed.
Xu Dalong led his troops in pursuit for a while. When he saw the Japanese troops fleeing in all directions, he couldn't pursue them anymore, so he withdrew his troops and returned to the camp.
In this battle, the coalition forces defeated an infantry brigade of the Japanese army and wiped out more than 600 Japanese soldiers. The total number of casualties of the coalition forces was less than 50. It can be said that they achieved a great victory.
All officers and soldiers of the coalition forces have weapons and sufficient ammunition, and their morale is getting higher and higher.
Xu Dalong interrogated a Japanese prisoner and learned that a Japanese infantry brigade was stationed in this area. He was worried that the Japanese army would come to retaliate, so he ordered the troops to seize the time to clean the battlefield and evacuate immediately.
The coalition troops marched quickly and already saw the mountainous forest area.
Xu Dalong estimated that at most 5 kilometers of troops could enter the mountainous area. Regardless of the fatigue of the troops, he ordered the troops to march quickly.
After a long and rapid march, the officers and soldiers of the coalition forces were very tired. The special operations team members have undergone intensive training, and their physical strength can support them. However, the British soldiers and Yuanzheng Army soldiers could not walk no matter what, and everyone asked to stop and rest.
Some soldiers simply sat on the ground without waiting for orders.
Xu Dalong had nothing to do about it. He had to order the troops to rest where they were and sent special forces members to serve as guards around them.
Ten minutes later, Xu Dalong began to urge the officers and soldiers of the coalition forces to hurry up, but everyone felt that they had not rested yet and asked for another 20 minutes of rest.
Xu Dalong became a little annoyed and ordered the officers and soldiers to get up quickly.
Although Xu Dalong had a high prestige in this unit, those British soldiers and Yuanzheng Army soldiers were not members of the underground party's anti-Japanese armed forces after all. They were dawdling and very reluctant.
At this moment, a large number of Japanese troops appeared on the road they had just come from. Obviously, the Japanese soldiers who escaped reported to their superiors, and the Japanese army mobilized a large group of troops to retaliate.
This time, no one among the officers and soldiers of the coalition army dared to be lazy anymore. They jumped up from the ground one by one. Without Xu Dalong's urging, everyone ran forward desperately.
Xu Dalong was marching with his team when he saw a shining river in front of him.
His head was confused. He didn't know the condition of the river and whether the troops could wade alone. If the water is too deep to cross, they will have no way out. If the Japanese army catches up, everyone will still have no choice but to die.
Monk Wei also knew that the situation was serious. He hurriedly ran to the river in front of him.
He saw that the width of the river was more than 30 meters, and he didn't know the depth of the water. Mashawen, who served as the guide, had never been here before and didn't know how deep the river was.
Monk Wei couldn't care less, so he took the risk and went down into the river with his horse. The further he walked, the deeper the river became. At first it was below his calves, then gradually below his thighs, and finally it reached his waist.
He gritted his teeth and continued to move forward. The water got deeper and deeper, reaching his chest. Monk Wei put his arms around the horse's neck and continued to move forward cautiously.
Fortunately, as one wishes, it was already the deepest part of the water just now. The further he went, the more of his body was exposed. He shouted to the special forces team members waiting on the shore: "Go and report to Mr. Long that this river can be wade on foot."
After hearing the good news, Xu Dalong felt much relieved.
At this time, he no longer needed to urge his soldiers to speed up. Seeing the Japs chasing after them, the officers and soldiers of the coalition troops ran away and soon arrived at the river.
They saw that Monk Wei had crossed the river and heard that the river could be wade on foot, so they all jumped into the river together.
Xu Dalong was the last one to enter the water. He stayed on the river bank to monitor the Japanese troops behind.
Seeing the Japanese troops getting closer, he fired at the Japanese troops from a distance of 300 meters.
The precise marksmanship hit the few Japanese soldiers running at the front. The Japanese soldiers were startled and stopped immediately.
The coalition soldiers who entered the river encountered a big trouble when they reached the middle of the river, and many of them almost drowned.
This is all the fault of Monk Wei. When he was crossing the river, the deepest part of the river reached his chest. For him, crossing the river was easy.
But he forgot that he was a big man, half a head taller than the average person. Those short soldiers suffered a disaster. When they reached the middle of the river, the water directly covered their noses.
Fortunately, everyone gathered together and the taller people pulled them across the river.
Xu Dalong saw that most of the coalition soldiers had crossed the river, and that the Japanese pursuers had begun to set up cannons. He hurriedly jumped into the river and walked towards the other side. When the water reached waist deep, he simply threw himself into the water. He swam right over.
After crossing the river, the coalition troops climbed onto the embankment and continued on their way.
Xu Dalong did not leave immediately. He observed carefully and then called Monk Wei and asked him to lead a special forces unit to ambush on the river embankment.
