It's night, and the breeze is blowing.
Zhang Tianhai led the two hundred or so people from the special agent company to move quickly through the dark night.
At this time, Zhang Tianhai was no longer wearing his woolen coat, but had a steel helmet on his head, and then came out wearing an officer's uniform.
Like everyone else, Zhang Tianhai also brought a weapon, but what was different from the others was that he still brought the 38-meter rifle with a sniper scope.
Looking at the officers and soldiers behind him, Zhang Tianhai was quite confident. Each squad had a light machine gun and two grenades. The secret service company was organized into four infantry platoons, each with three squads. In total, That is twelve light machine guns and twenty-four grenade launchers.
A company with such a huge supporting firepower is quite powerful, but don't forget that they also have an artillery battalion with twelve artillery pieces to help them. If they cooperate well, it is not difficult to defeat a battalion. .
In fact, the Japanese army did not blindly defend the isolated city. They also deployed a large number of troops to garrison outside Yixian County. It would be a great thing to be able to delay the Chinese army's offensive pace outside Yixian County.
After all, it is best to exchange space for time. Otherwise, by the time the army arrives at the city, it will be too late. The national army’s cannons have all been pushed to the city, and there will be no room for recovery!
Night fighting is the battle that the Japanese army dislikes fighting the most, but it is the battle that the Chinese army likes to fight the most.
Therefore, the Japanese army deployed a large number of observation posts on the periphery, and behind these observation posts were usually Japanese positions.
Precisely because the Chinese army often fought night battles and sneak attack battles with them, these Japanese observation posts were brightly lit.
Zhang Tianhai was lying behind the mound, which was a simple bunker. A 38-inch cover slowly stretched out from behind the mound. The sight on it had already been blocked by Zhang Tianhai with a blackout cloth.
Under the camera, Japanese sentries were looking around nervously. Of course, there were also many Japanese soldiers who were not on duty chatting.
"Yoshida-san, do you think we can hold this place?" A Japanese private was chatting with another private.
The Japanese soldier named Yoshida said: "Who can say for sure? Previously, the commander of the Isotani Division told us that as long as we hit Taierzhuang, we would be victorious. We forced the Chinese government to surrender. But what about now? We lost, our strategic goal was not achieved, we are going to be trapped here, unable to go back..."
"Yoshida-san, how can you be so decadent?! You have to believe in the division commander and Commander Juichi Terauchi will definitely come to save us!" A trace of panic flashed across the face of the Japanese soldier who was chatting with Yoshida. It seems that he is comforting himself.
"Kojima-san, recognize the reality! If the commander of the temple could really save us, he would have sent troops long ago. Now we are surrounded by the China Army, and we have been sent to the forward position to fight. The China Army The time to launch a general attack is coming soon, just watch! If a fight breaks out, we will definitely be the first to become cannon fodder!" Although Yoshida didn't want to admit that this was a fact, he had to admit that this was a fact!
While the two Japanese soldiers were sitting behind the bunker chatting, Zhang Tianhai was using tactical gestures to direct the troops to advance.
It has to be said that the secret service company trained by Zhang Tianhai himself has a solid foundation, and the secret service company has also performed relatively well in previous battles. In the battle in Tangtou Town, the special service company suffered considerable losses, but Overall, the basics are still there.
Because of this, Zhang Tianhai dared to lead his special agent company directly towards the Japanese positions on the outskirts of Yixian County.
This is not only a reflection of the recent training results of the special agent company, but also a new batch of recruits who have recently come in from the special agent company to see their blood.
Ever since, under Zhang Tianhai's order, the four secret agent companies began to advance separately towards the Japanese observation post, and were quietly setting up grenade launchers, light machine gun positions, etc.
"It seems that we are really going to be like the beasts in the cage. We can't run away even if we want to..." Xiaodao sighed, and then looked at the sentry who was still standing guard nearby.
At this moment, with the sound of a gunshot, the sentry fell to the ground with a trickle of blood flowing from his neck. The scene was very horrifying!
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!!!" As other Japanese sentries shouted shrilly and sharp whistles sounded, some of them became confused.
However, the Japanese army's combat literacy is still quite high. When the whistle sounded, they immediately lay down, and then quickly stepped into the combat position, ready to fight.
When they heard the direction of the Japanese whistle and the sound of movement, the grenadier soldiers of the special agent company immediately launched firepower in the direction of the whistle and the vicinity. The scene of twenty-four grenadiers firing in unison was still Quite powerful.
"Tum~" "Tum~" "Tum~"...
With the sound of impact at the bottom of the grenade, twenty-four small artillery shells densely covered the Japanese defensive position almost at the same time, and a burst of confidential and terrifying explosions suddenly erupted. Eighteen Japanese soldiers undoubtedly survived.
The Japanese army was stunned by this sudden attack. They never expected that the enemy had such powerful firepower.
The enemy with such powerful firepower must be the enemy's elite troops, and in this night, the surroundings were pitch black, and it was impossible to see how many enemies were coming!
Shooting one shot and then not firing another shot was much scarier than fighting them directly with real swords and guns. An invisible fear gradually enveloped their hearts.
"Duyo kata, what's going on?" A Japanese second lieutenant walked towards the explosion area. After all, he was responsible for defending this area.
"Your Majesty Second Lieutenant, we have been hit by enemy fire and close-range artillery fire!" A Japanese soldier stood up and lowered his head almost subconsciously.
It was this scene that made Zhang Tianhai focus on this area. If he guessed correctly, there must be a Japanese officer here, who might be the frontline commander of the Japanese army.
So, Zhang Tianhai aimed the sniper scope here.
"Nani, are our casualties serious? How many enemy soldiers are there?" the second lieutenant asked again.
"Your Excellency, Second Lieutenant, we have lost nineteen warriors here, but we don't know how many enemy soldiers there are." The soldier reported truthfully.
"In other words, we have lost nineteen people, but we still don't know how many enemies there are. We even say that we haven't killed even one enemy?!" the Japanese second lieutenant immediately grasped the key point and said.
"You can say that." The Japanese soldier said truthfully again.
"Baga!" The second lieutenant slapped the soldier on the face, and there was a "slap" sound, which was very clear and loud.
"Hai!" The Japanese soldier with a slap mark on his face immediately lowered his head and responded.
After the slap, the Japanese second lieutenant immediately picked up the telescope to observe the surrounding situation.
Unexpectedly, the moonlight was very bright that night. The moment the Japanese second lieutenant picked up the telescope, the reflection of the lens dazzled Zhang Tianhai's eyes in the sniper scope. He immediately aimed the lens at the Japanese second lieutenant.
To be more precise, he was targeting this officer. As for the military rank of this officer, he was not very clear. Anyway, he was a commander, so that's right!
When the Japanese second lieutenant just picked up the telescope and wanted to observe the surrounding situation, a 6.5 mm caliber bullet penetrated the lens of his telescope, hit him directly in the eye, and penetrated his head. He immediately died of anger.
Before these Japanese soldiers could react, shells from a regiment of artillery pierced the sky and bombarded the position behind them to pieces.
The death of the outpost commander, coupled with the fact that the enemy had such powerful firepower and dispatched artillery volleys, made the Japanese troops in Yixian County conclude that the Chinese troops to their west must be the main force of the national army!
Therefore, when Isotani Rensuke needed frontline battle reports to judge the enemy's situation, the intelligence inevitably went astray...
"Nani? The Chinese army in the west has launched a general offensive?!" After receiving the report from the front line positions in the west, Isotani Rensuke could hardly believe his ears. After all, according to his judgment, these Chinese troops The main force should be in the east and south, and especially Tang Enbo's army in the east has the strongest combat power. They conquered many of their peripheral positions in one day.
Could it be that there was an intelligence error? A suspicion flashed through Isotani Rensuke's head.
But there was a rumbling cannon on the western position. As far as he knew, these Chinese troops would not be so bored that they would stop attacking after firing a burst of artillery for them.
After all, the Chinese army is not the "rich and wealthy" Japanese army. Of course, this "rich and wealthy" is only relative. Compared with countries such as Britain, Germany, and the Soviet Union, Japan is undoubtedly a poor country, but for China, which is absolutely poor and backward, These Japanese troops are definitely wealthy!
Precisely because China is extremely poor, they simply do not have the conditions and confidence to launch a futile artillery salvo to attract the attention of the Japanese army!
It is precisely because of this that Isotani Rensuke directly defined this artillery attack as the artillery bombardment before the Chinese army was about to launch a general offensive!
"You must stick to your position. I will mobilize the troops and be ready to reinforce you at any time!" Isotani Rensuke said in a deep voice. Now he is absolutely ready.
