The headquarters guards left, and Zhao Gang focused his attention on the battlefield.
Only then did he feel how much pressure Li Yunlong carried on his shoulders when he fought in the past.
He also admired his partner who had little education and liked to curse people more and more.
It is indeed not easy to make correct command decisions on the battlefield, inspire the morale of the soldiers, and destroy the enemy!
At least he, Zhao Gang, is still far behind!
Even just now, he was awakened from his sleep by the enemy's gunshots. After rushing out of the room, he failed to immediately order the soldiers to reinforce the cliff behind the village. However, deputy commander Xing Zhiguo reacted quickly and immediately mobilized two Heavy machine guns went to support, and then the battle situation was barely stabilized.
Now, Zhao Gang was hiding behind the earth wall, sticking half of his head out to observe the little Japs on the battlefield.
In front of the cliff, he saw that all the open and hidden sentries he had deployed here last night had been sacrificed. The soldiers who rushed over after hearing the gunshots lay down behind various earthen walls and big trees and fired at the enemy.
Two heavy machine guns were set up on two earthen walls, spitting tongues of fire at the enemy.
However, this group of little devils moved very quickly, constantly moving in a snake shape, and used various objects as bunkers to avoid heavy machine gun fire.
They also fired back from time to time.
It seems that there are only fifty or sixty little devils, but the threat they create is huge.
Zhao Gang saw Yamamoto Kazuki's special agent team coming with a shot, and a soldier on his side was shot in the head.
In less than a minute, four heavy machine gunners had been killed in succession!
But when the bullets from the soldiers of the Independent Regiment hit them, they only stopped their steps and groaned. It didn't seem to cause much damage to them. They suddenly became very angry and ordered loudly:
"Wang Chengzhu, set up your cannon and let me blast you!
I don’t believe it anymore, these gangsters are made of iron! "
He was originally a gentle and gentle Confucian general, but when he saw the sacrifice of the soldiers, he started to curse.
It can only be said that if you hang around with this guy Li Yunlong, you will inevitably be assimilated by him.
"Political Commissar, this place is so small, and the enemy is only a few dozen meters away from us. If we fire, we will inevitably injure one of our own!"
Wang Chengzhu was very hesitant.
"If you don't fire, your comrades will suffer even more casualties!
Li Yunlong said that you are a master artilleryman, I believe you! "
Zhao Gang gritted his teeth and said.
He believed that his comrades would understand his orders.
Facing an enemy with such terrifying marksmanship, only firing cannons can lead to a quick victory and reduce casualties!
"yes!"
Wang Chengzhu loudly accepted the order.
He felt the pressure on his shoulders was about to crush him.
His hands would really shake when he had to fire at a place where his comrades might be accidentally injured!
…
Seeing Wang Chengzhu going to set up artillery, Second Battalion Commander Shen Quan and Third Battalion Commander Wang Huaibao ran over and said to Zhao Gang:
"Political Commissar, these little devils are the same group that attacked our independent regiment before. We must not let them escape!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Gang suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
He and Li Yunlong had analyzed it before and knew the power of the little devils who attacked the independent regiment and their purpose of targeting the headquarters.
Now he suddenly understood that these little devils were determined to attack the headquarters!
When he thought that if this group of little devils were not eliminated, they would always be hiding in the dark like lurking poisonous snakes. They never knew when they would show their fangs and pose a huge threat to the headquarters. He immediately ordered:
"Wang Huaibao, you lead the third battalion to resist frontally. Shen Quan, you lead the second battalion from the village entrance to the back of these little devils and block them for me!
Don't let them get away, understand? "
"clear!"
The two hurriedly ran to deploy.
At this time, Zhang Dabiao also appeared and asked Zhao Gang:
"Political Commissar, where is our first battalion?"
“The terrain here is not wide enough to accommodate two battalions.
Your first battalion will be the general reserve team. Once the third battalion cannot hold it, your first battalion will take over! "
Reserve team?
Zhang Dabiao immediately became unhappy and hurriedly asked with saliva on his face:
“Political Commissar, why don’t you let the Third Battalion serve as a reserve team?
Our first battalion has strong combat effectiveness. Let us go, and our casualties will be smaller. "
Zhao Gang glared at him and said angrily:
"Ensuring the safety of the boss comes first! Do you understand?"
"clear!"
Zhang Dabiao understood what Zhao Gang meant. Even if the third battalion or even the entire independent regiment was wiped out, it would not be a big problem, but the headquarters must not be attacked by the Japs!
That's why he arranged his first battalion as a reserve team.
Just in case!
…
At this moment, on the little devil's side, Kazuki Yamamoto and more than twenty people were still waiting at the foot of the cliff.
Listening to the fierce gunshots on the cliff, Yamamoto Kazuki frowned.
There was a vague feeling in his heart.
At this time, a major officer quickly slipped down from the cliff with a rope and came to Yamamoto Kazuki to report:
"Your Majesty Colonel, the enemy has set up two sentry posts, light and dark, on the cliff. When we first went up, we were discovered before we had time to deploy, and we were forced to shoot and exchange fire.
The enemy's reaction speed was very fast. Although we killed dozens of people on the other side, now they have mobilized two heavy machine guns, which poses a great threat to us. "
The major's intention was obvious, that is, to ask Yamamoto Kazuki to decide whether to retreat or continue to fight.
Continuing to fight will be difficult and will inevitably lead to heavy casualties.
If you retreat, it means the mission has failed.
Yamamoto Kazuki was in a state of confusion, and thought to himself: Why is this group of Tubal Roadmen so much more difficult to deal with than the last time they met?
Could it be that what we encountered this time was the enemy's main force, while last time it was only the second-line troops?
He could never imagine that the two encounters were actually the same group!
But at this moment, the military situation was so urgent that he had no time to think carefully and immediately ordered:
"Continue the attack and use the grenade to knock out the enemy's heavy machine gun!"
"Hi!"
After the major received the order, he immediately turned around, pulled the rope, and climbed up the cliff.
Soon, the "boom" sound of a grenade launching a grenade was heard on the cliff.
With the explosion of several grenades, the heavy machine gun of the independent regiment, which was originally spitting out tongues of fire, went silent.
Yamamoto Kazuki knew that he had to seize the time now, so he immediately pulled out the command sword from his waist and ordered:
"Gentlemen, come with me! Kill me—"
As he said that, he also rushed towards the cliff, preparing to take the remaining twenty or so people as a new force to defeat the eight groups blocking the road in one fell swoop.
…
However, just when Yamamoto Kazuki climbed to the middle of the cliff, there was a sudden loud "boom" and the sound of a high-explosive grenade exploding. He was stunned and screamed involuntarily.
"Nani? There are mountain cannons on Tubal Road?"
Following this scream, screams also came from the cliff above:
"Ah! Baga..."
“&&***###……”
"Help!"
…
Yamamoto Kazuki instinctively wanted to retreat.
The enemy actually has mountain cannon!
There are dozens of people like him, no matter how accurate their marksmanship is, no matter how useful their body armor is, and no matter how powerful their helmets are, what's the use?
A few cannonballs can wipe out his entire army!
The only more powerful weapon in his hand is the grenade. You can use the grenade to shoot at the mountain cannon. Even fools know it is a joke!
However, before he could give the order to retreat, there was another loud "boom" on the cliff, and more screams came from the cliff.
Yamamoto Kazuki knew that his mission today was a 100% failure, his performance was a complete failure, and his dream of being a general was shattered.
He immediately gritted his two teeth and shouted:
"Quickly retreat!"
Then he loosened his grip and slid down the rope.
Yamamoto Kazuki gave the military order, and the members of Yamamoto's special agent team quickly retreated behind him.
On the cliff, except for the more than 20 people who had just been killed and injured by Wang Chengzhu's two cannons, the fifty or sixty little Japs were covering each other and began to retreat.
Zhao Gang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this situation.
This time the crisis has been overcome.
Although the casualties were heavy, compared to the last time, the independent regiment did not leave even a single corpse of the enemy, which was still much stronger.
He immediately ordered:
"Wang Chengzhu, continue bombarding with mortars! Fire another ten rounds - no, five rounds!"
He knew that cannonballs were precious, but he still couldn't bear to waste them.
If it were Yang Yuanshan, he would probably give a direct order to use the mountain cannon to extend the shooting, and hit directly beyond the range!
Wang Chengzhu had just made two successful shots and did not accidentally injure the soldiers of the independent regiment. He was very excited at this moment.
After hearing Zhao Gang's order to continue firing five shells with mortars, he quickly accepted the order excitedly, and then asked his soldiers to carry the Jin-made 82mm mortar sent by Yang Yuanshan, and began to adjust the angle. The bombardment was running away in panic. little devil.
Anyway, political commissar Zhao only said to use mortars. He used 82mm mortars instead of 60mm mortars. There is nothing wrong with that, right?
Zhao Gang didn't know what Wang Chengzhu was planning, so he turned around and called the cavalry company commander Sun Desheng:
"Sun Desheng, lead the cavalry company in pursuit! I must keep all these little devils!"
"yes!"
Sun Desheng agreed excitedly, ran outside the livestock shed in the village, and shouted:
"Cavalry Company, assemble!"
…
At the deputy boss's headquarters, the guard who had just inquired about the situation came back and reported what Zhao Gang had said, and the deputy boss immediately waved him off.
Then he said to Mr. Liu:
"Listen to the gunfire, the battle is fierce, it seems that Zhao Gang is in trouble.
If this kid Li Yunlong is here, maybe he can be more stable. That kid's tactical command skills are very good. "
Mr. Liu nodded and comforted him:
"Boss, I just learned about it. Except for Yang Yuanshan's special agent company, the entire independent regiment is here. There are more than 1,500 people. No matter how poor Zhao Gang's commanding skills are, with so many people, he can kill those little devils. ”
At this time, they suddenly heard the sound of a grenade exploding. The vice president couldn't help but asked in surprise:
"Are these the two mountain cannons of the Independent Regiment?"
"Probably. But to provoke Zhao Gang into using mountain cannons, it seems that this little devil is indeed difficult to deal with.
He is not that guy Li Yunlong who doesn’t cherish cannonballs! "
The deputy chief of staff answered.
“Good guy, this little devil is extraordinary!
I think they must be coming for me!
It seems that the little devil knows our location? "
The vice president was a little angry.
He led the headquarters organization to move here from Daxia Bay. Less than 10 days later, he was discovered by the Japs. This really surprised him.
He couldn't help but wonder if there was a traitor in the headquarters!
The deputy chief of staff also understood what he meant and said quickly:
"I will immediately arrange for people from the security department to check the recent whereabouts of everyone in the headquarters to see if there are any clues."
At this time, Master Liu suddenly said:
"Boss, I think it may not be one of our own who leaked the secret, maybe it was Yan Laoxi's tour group!
You know, if you expect the Jinsui Army and the Central Army to keep secrets, you might as well expect pigs to fly! "
"Hahaha, you old Liu, where will Yan Laoxi and Lao Chang turn their faces when they hear this!"
The vice president laughed. He also felt that the staff at the headquarters today are all experienced and should not be traitors.
And if it was Yan Laoxi's tour group that leaked the secret, it would be very reasonable.
After laughing, Mr. Liu said again:
"Boss, it seems that the purpose of those two brigades is also ours. I think, how about we avoid the edge first?"
"Don't worry, there is still nearly a hundred miles of mountain road from Huting stronghold to here, so don't worry about the transfer.
And don’t you still have the idea of Li Yunlong attacking the Huting stronghold?
Now I want to see how these two brigades will react after Li Yunlong pokes a hornet's nest in the Huting stronghold. "
The deputy CEO had a commanding look on his face.
Master Liu also knew that he was strong-willed and not easily persuaded. He considered that with the independent regiment by his side, even if the two brigades approached, there would still be time to move, so he stopped persuading him.
Instead he agreed:
"I'm going to call Xiao Chen now and ask him to send someone to keep an eye on the Huting stronghold. If there is any news, report it as soon as possible!"
"Okay, let's do it!"
…
On the cliff behind Chenjiayu Village, the body of the Yamamoto special agent team abandoned on the ground fled down the cliff in embarrassment. Zhao Gang immediately ordered Zhang Dabiao:
"Zhang Dabiao, lead the first battalion of soldiers to catch up!"
"yes!"
Finally it was his turn, Zhang Dabiao agreed excitedly, with a bloodthirsty smile on his face.
His ghost-headed sword wants to drink the blood of the little devil again!
Seeing Zhang Dabiao leading his men, Zhao Gang quickly ordered Wang Huaibao:
"Wang Huaibao, treat the wounded quickly, rectify the team, and prevent the little devil from trying to counterattack!"
"yes!"
Wang Huaibao couldn't help but have tears in his eyes when he looked at the tragic situation on the battlefield.
In this exchange of fire that lasted less than half an hour, in addition to the sacrifice of more than a dozen soldiers who originally guarded the place, including the overt and covert sentry, his third battalion also suffered tremendous pressure, with at least more than a hundred casualties!
And most of them were shot in the head by the little devil, and there was no way to save them.
Those are all comrades he brought up one by one!
…
After making some arrangements, Zhao Gang ignored Zhang Dabiao and others as they hunted down these little devils, and immediately ran to the headquarters to report to the deputy boss.
"Boss, the enemy has been defeated."
"Oh, what is the origin of the enemy?"
The vice president asked curiously.
"The same kid who attacked us in Yangcun last time.
There were probably less than a hundred people, but everyone was an elite, wearing non-reflective steel helmets and body armor, holding submachine guns, and all of them had excellent marksmanship. Many of our soldiers were shot in the forehead. "
Thinking of those soldiers who sacrificed their lives, Zhao Gang's heart bleeds.
To deal with dozens of little devils, more than a hundred people were sacrificed!
Li Yunlong will definitely call him a useless political commissar later.
"Is this the same group from last time? They are really evil and are here for me!"
The vice president sighed.
"Zhao Gang, what are your casualties? How many of them were killed?
I heard you fired a few shots. Don't do it like last time. Not a single kid was left behind. Just give the boss a helmet, right? "
the deputy chief of staff asked.
Zhao Gang was immediately embarrassed when he heard this.
Although he had not joined the Independent Group at that time, it was an embarrassing incident for the Independent Group after all.
He quickly replied:
"The specific results have not been counted yet, but I took a quick look and found that there should be at least thirty corpses left behind!
Now I have arranged for the 1st Battalion, 2nd Battalion and the Cavalry Company to continue the pursuit, trying to keep all these little devils behind!
As for ourselves, we have lost more than a hundred comrades! "
"Good guy!
There are less than a hundred people attacking your group, but you can still cause more than a hundred casualties, and they also use mountain artillery. This group of little devils is indeed extraordinary!
Take us to the battlefield. I want to see if these little devils have three heads and six arms! "
The vice president became more and more curious.
"Boss, if the enemy strikes back, I'm afraid it will be dangerous.
And the battlefield hasn't been cleaned yet, why not wait half an hour? "
Zhao Gang hesitated.
"What are you afraid of?
If you as a team can't protect me as the deputy boss, then you, Zhao Gang, as the political commissar, don't do it! "
The vice president waved his hand proudly.
"yes!"
