At this time, there were only more than 1,100 troops left in the Dragon Boat Festival.
But there are more than 2,300 Japs entrenched in Luoxia Valley.
There is a huge disparity in the strength of the two sides. Logically speaking, no one will fight such a battle. After all, this feels like an egg striking a stone.
But Duanwu was determined that the Japs in Luoxia Valley were lax in their defenses, which was a very good opportunity to take action.
What's more, the battle is not purely based on numerical superiority.
Of course, it is undeniable that the more people there are, the greater the advantage. But quantity doesn't determine everything.
For example, when a group of wolves enters a flock of sheep, it is of no use even if the sheep are hundreds or thousands of times larger than the wolves.
What's more, this is a group of wolves armed to the teeth.
After capturing Xintai County and seizing the weapons and ammunition there, the strength of the supervision corps was greatly increased. Otherwise, how could they have defeated two Japanese infantry brigades so easily at a fork in the road?
So this time, Doihara did prepare a good gift for Dragon Boat Festival, which brought Dragon Boat Festival's supervision team back to life.
At about 4:50 in the morning, Duanwu had already led people to Luoxia Valley. At this time, above the Luoxia Valley canyon, little devils were lying in a mess, and even the sentry's face was full of fatigue.
They yawned and looked listless while standing guard.
Obviously, none of the little devils at this time would have thought that their enemies did not quickly break through to the third line of defense, but instead came to bring bad luck to them.
Duan Wu waved his hand gently, leading a battalion of several skilled scouts to quietly approach the Japanese sentry.
There were more sentries at first, but Dragon Boat Festival did not let the soldiers take action. Although they are scouts from the first battalion, they are indeed not as good as those from the special agent battalion. If the attack was not quick enough and a sound was made, then this surprise attack would probably be difficult to succeed.
So Duanwu personally took action and killed seven or eight Japs' sentries before letting the scouts from the first battalion take action together to clear the way for the large army to attack.
At this time, on the top of the mountain, a patchwork of little devils lying in various directions were already close at hand. At this time, Zhu Shengzhong couldn't bear the sword in his hand.
On the east side of the cliff, there were no less than a thousand little devils, all lying there sleeping.
Although there were dozens of people who were awake and running to the edge of the cliff to get to the bottom of the cliff, most of the Japanese were fast asleep.
Someone once did a test and found that a person sleeps most soundly between four and six in the morning.
So the same goes for the little devils at this time. If they hadn't been woken up by peeing, I'm afraid they would still be sleeping at this time.
Zhu Shengzhong couldn't hold it anymore, but Duanwu stopped him. Because there are also Japs on the other side of the cliff. And the number of little devils is no less than that of the little devils on the east side.
Therefore, once action is taken, the Japanese on the other side of the cliff will be awakened and immediately support the Japanese who are attacked on the east side.
Dragon Boat Festival must find a way to deal with the Japanese on the other side of the cliff. The best way is to use artillery fire to suppress the Japs on the other side of the cliff, and there are many Japs on the other side of the cliff. After this wave of artillery attacks, there will definitely be a lot of Japs killed.
As for how to fight next, it depends on how the little devil will react. But these devils on the east side of the cliff don't have this chance.
Dragon Boat Festival ordered the machete team in front and the machine gun team in the back.
Those with good marksmanship will establish several sniper positions along the woods. While the machine gun team was firing, the artillery quickly came out of the woods and launched a carpet bombardment on the opposite side of the cliff.
With everything ready, Duanwu took the lead in rushing out with the sword team.
The sleeping Japs were very close at hand, and with every move of their hands, the heads of the little Japs were chopped off with the big sword.
A little devil who went to the convenience store discovered this scene, but at this time, dozens of the little devil's heads were gone.
At this moment, some Japanese soldiers were frightened, while others were shouting that the enemy was attacking.
But at this moment, hundreds of machine guns began to shoot at the Japanese who were up and down.
Many of those little devils were pierced by bullets before they even opened their eyes, and were killed on the spot.
At this time, it is really like a wolf entering a flock of sheep. More than a thousand little devils had no power to fight back.
Just imagine, when a group of people are still sleeping, even if someone shouts danger, how many of them can suddenly wake up in their sleep?
For example, some people wake up suddenly from a deep sleep and find that their body suddenly cannot move.
Some people say that this is ghost sleeping, but in fact, the scientific explanation is that you are indeed awake, but the functions of various parts of your body are still not working and are not under the command of the brain.
Therefore, at this time, there were not many Japs who could react, and even if they got up, they would be shot dead on the spot by machine gunners in the next second.
The dozens of sober Japanese soldiers were even more unlucky. When they made warning sounds, they were already beaten into pieces by machine guns.
At the same time, the Japanese on the other side of the cliff heard the gunshots and ran back to get their guns. But at this moment, the artillery had already begun to fire shells at them.
More and more little devils were awakened on the west side of the cliff by the explosion of shells. But at this time, they were all covered by the artillery fire of the 1st Battalion and the 1st Special Battalion.
Although the artillery power of the two battalions was far inferior to that of the artillery battalion, they were still able to suppress the Japanese on the west side of the cliff in a short period of time.
But at this moment, another Japanese team rushed up from the bottom of the cliff. They came up and fired at several machine gunners.
The machine gunner couldn't dodge and was hit by the Japs. The two machine gunners fell to the ground one after another and vomited blood.
They were still pulling the trigger at the moment they fell, killing three little devils. But the little devil still rushed forward.
But just when they wanted to target the other machine gunners and kill them, a series of gunshots were heard, and the Japanese who rushed up the cliff fell to the ground.
They are sharpshooters hiding in the woods. They keep an eye on the entire battlefield. If they find a new enemy, they will immediately shoot and kill them.
At the same time, the machine gunners also reacted and launched fire suppression targeting the Japs emerging from the cliff.
The Japanese at the bottom of the cliff were beaten down several times when they tried to break through, and more than thirty people were killed or injured.
Seeing this, Duanwu smiled and said: "Kill all the Japs on the east side for me. The machine gunners will build a machine gun position along the cliff on the east side. The artillery will cover me until the machine gun position is completed. Let's compare firepower with the Japs on the west cliff. Let’s see if they have more people or we have more bullets!”
"Yes, Danzao!"
Zhu Shengzhong took the order and immediately went to deliver the order, while Duanwu smiled and carried a bag of grenades and quietly reached for the cliff entrance leading to the top of the cliff.
The little devils under the cliff were all there, and Duanwu prepared a big gift package for them.
The little devil pulled out the safety pins of all the grenades, and then knocked them on the cliff with a cloth bag, then threw them all to the little devil.
The distance between the Dragon Boat Festival and the entrance above the cliff was more than forty meters, but this throw, weighing more than ten kilograms, was thrown over by him like this.
When the little devils saw a cloth bag flying towards them, they felt bad, because the cloth bag scattered in mid-air, and grenades appeared in their sight one after another.
"Grenade, get down!"
The Japanese officer shouted, but what's the use of lying down at this time? The grenade exploded in the head, and shrapnel flew everywhere! .
