Since the introduction of bicycles, the Secret Service Battalion has been able to march much faster.
Artillery shells and small artillery can be carried on bicycles, and the Type 92 infantry gun can also be pulled by ropes and pulled by several bicycles, with strong soldiers taking turns riding and dragging.
It's so easy to use.
It can be called the human version of mechanization!
Nearly two thousand people were running at full speed on the mountain road. On the way, the correspondents sent out to contact the New Second Regiment kept bringing back news.
Knowing that the New Second Regiment had blocked the Japs in Changguang Village and was fighting fiercely, Yang Yuanshan immediately led the soldiers and ran in the direction of Changguang Village.
After spending several hours, Yang Yuanshan finally led his people to approach Changguang Village, and heard violent gunfire from the front.
The scouts sent earlier also came back and reported:
"Battal Commander, the comrades of the New Second Regiment are in front of Changguang Village, relying on their houses and earthen walls to fight fiercely with the Japs. Commander Kong told us not to worry about them, but they can still persist!"
"good!"
Yang Yuanshan asked the warriors who were out of breath to stop and rest first. He led Han Yang, He Yunfu and others to climb up the nearby hillside and use binoculars to observe the battle ahead.
When he saw the situation on the battlefield, he frowned.
Han Yang said:
"Battal Commander, these little devils are quite capable!
You see, they have established heavy machine gun positions at the commanding heights in the south and northwest to suppress fire. The infantry used the west as the front to attack and crawled forward. The two Type 92 infantry cannons dragged behind and continuously hit the firepower points of the New Second Regiment. This attack It was a very methodical fight! "
"Yes, the commander of this group of little devils is extraordinary."
Yang Yuanshan also nodded.
He Yunfu suggested:
"Battal Commander, Changguang Village is not big, and there are mountains not far to the east. I think we can set up our infantry artillery, mortar and machine gun positions directly on the east hillside, and the range will definitely be within reach.
Once ready, fire suddenly, giving priority to destroying the Japs' artillery positions and heavy machine gun fire points.
Of the four infantry companies, one company can be arranged to cut into the battlefield from the north to attract the attention of the Japs. The other three companies will go around the east path and back to the south of the village. After blocking the Japs' retreat, they can attack from the rear. When the time comes, we will attack from both sides and wipe out all these little devils! "
Yang Yuanshan thought He Yunfu's suggestion was quite good. He nodded immediately and deployed:
"Okay! In this way, the artillery will immediately implement Lao He's suggestion.
As for the infantry, the fourth company launched an attack from the north half an hour later. The second and third companies detoured back to the south and attacked the rear of the little devil. Lao He, you take the second and third companies.
One company was left in reserve. "
In the past, when the team was small, Yang Yuanshan never left a reserve team in battle.
When a lion fights a rabbit, he also uses all his strength.
But now, with more troops in hand, Yang Yuanshan can keep a reserve team in hand to prepare for special situations or to enter the battlefield at critical moments to seal the victory in one fell swoop.
Anyway, now he has three infantry companies plus one artillery company, with a force of more than a thousand people, to besiege the little Japanese with less than a thousand people, which should be enough.
Especially the thousands of people from the New Second Regiment who are also insisting on fighting!
When Wei Dayong heard that all companies had received tasks, but they were missing, he immediately jumped out and shouted:
"Battal Commander, what is the mission of our special operations company?"
"you?
The Japs' headquarters should be on the mountainside to the west. Take your people to find their headquarters and arrest him! "
Yang Yuanshan actually didn't know where the Japs' headquarters was, but now he was observing the terrain of the battlefield and thinking from his perspective, thinking that if he were the commander of the Japs, he would definitely build the headquarters on the mountainside to the west. After all, he has a good view. , convenient for command, and safe enough.
When Wei Dayong heard that the task he had received was so exciting, he immediately agreed excitedly:
"Yes! I will definitely chop off the little devil captain's head!"
…
After the military order was given, the company commanders immediately went into action.
Especially the artillery company, they had to push the artillery to the east hillside, and it was still difficult. Yang Yuanshan immediately asked the first company that stayed as a reserve to help them.
…
At this moment in Changguang Village, Kong Jie and Dou Guangjie were hiding behind an earthen wall, observing the battlefield situation with telescopes.
Both of them frowned tightly.
The little devil on the opposite side is well-trained, accurate in marksmanship, and well-commanded, making him very difficult to deal with.
And what about the new second group?
The ratio of new recruits is high, and they have never fought any tough or vicious battles. They are no match for the opponent at all.
We have been fighting with them for a long time now. Although they rely on houses and earthen walls for cover, the casualties have reached three to four hundred people, which can be said to be very heavy.
“These little devils are so damn difficult!
This fierce style reminds me of the Yamazaki Battalion in the Lijiapo battle! "
Kong Jie sighed.
"Team Yamazaki?
Is that the one who killed more than half of the 772nd regiment, and finally it was Captain Li's independent regiment that took action and bombarded them with seven flying thunder cannons? "
Dou Guangjie had seen the detailed process of this battle in the monthly "Battle" published internally by our army. Now that Kong Jie mentioned it, he remembered it.
"Yes, they are those old devils!
Those bastards are really powerful. Cheng Xiazi of the 772nd Regiment led the charge. They charged many times in a row but returned without success. The brigade commander almost became so angry that he wanted to kill him. "
Kong Jie remembered the scene when he personally fought with the Yamazaki Brigade, and he still felt lingering fear.
"It seems that what we are facing is also the most elite army of the little devils.
If they were also a brigade of the Third Brigade, was the brigade that was wiped out by the special agent battalion also so powerful?
If even such a fierce little devil can be easily annihilated, how strong is the secret service camp? "
Dou Guangjie is a little skeptical about life.
“Hmph, we can’t compare to the firepower of the secret service camp!
Although our equipment and bullets are pretty good, each soldier only has dozens of bullets on average, and only about a hundred artillery shells. How dare we compare with the wealthy secret service battalion!
You saw their firepower last time they attacked Shouxian County. They were just attacking the little devils! "
Kong Jie's face was filled with emotion.
"Yes, when you put it like that, I feel that this special agent battalion is too unlike our Eighth Route Army team.
More luxurious than a kid! "
Dou Guangjie was filled with emotion.
While the two were talking, suddenly a sentry from the security post, braving artillery fire and rain of bullets, ran over and reported:
"Report!
The regiment leader, political commissar, and comrades from the secret service battalion are here again! "
"here we go again?
Didn't I just tell them to leave us alone and defeat the enemy first?
Why did you send someone here again?
Where are people? take me! "
Kong Jie shouted in confusion.
"It's just behind that wall."
"Let's go! Go take a look!"
Kong Jie followed the sentry back. After a while, he came to an earth wall and saw a strange soldier standing there.
"Comrade, I am Kong Jie, commander of the New Second Regiment. Where is your camp?"
"Commander Kong, our battalion has reached the foot of the northern mountain. Our battalion commander asked me to inform you that our entire battalion will launch an attack in half an hour.
At that time, there will be an artillery company that will knock out the Japs' artillery and heavy machine gun positions. Then one company will attack from the north and two companies will intercept from the south. The battalion commander asks your regiment to pay attention to your cooperation at that time. "
"OK!
You actually have four companies here. Now, these little devils can't run away! "
Kong Jie was very excited.
When he attacked Shouxian County, he learned that each of Yang Yuanshan's main infantry companies had 350 people, and each company also had two Type 92 infantry cannons and a 60mm mortar, which was more than one of his battalions. powerful.
But who knew that when the correspondent heard what he said, he scratched his head and smiled honestly:
"Captain Kong, our battalion has five main companies, and the battalion commander has left one main company as a reserve."
"Good guys, there are 5 main companies, that's more than 1,700 people. It seems we can finish the battle and have dinner!"
Kong Jie said excitedly.
He immediately asked the correspondent to go back and report Yang Yuanshan immediately, and the New Second Regiment would actively cooperate.
Afterwards, Kong Jie quietly sent someone to encourage the soldiers of the New Second Regiment on the position, telling them that reinforcements would be arriving soon, and the little Japanese army would soon be annihilated.
Stimulated by this news, the morale of the soldiers of the New Second Regiment immediately increased greatly, and their shooting became much more accurate.
Another attack by the little devil was repelled.
