Chapter 3 Arrogant Sakata Nobutsu
"Nani? What did you say?"
Nobutsu Sakata's eyes opened wide, his face full of disbelief.
It was not until his subordinates repeated it again that he flew into a rage and shouted, "Baka! These damned Chinese actually dared to betray the Imperial Army. They are all dead!"
"Order the guard squadron to eliminate these damn Chinese at all costs!"
"Ha Yi!"
The Japanese officers in the command center suddenly nodded, then turned around and left, commanding the guard troops to resist the insurgents who were rushing over.
The two sides engaged in a fierce battle.
The Japanese Chief of Staff observed the battle situation and said, "Sir, to ensure safety, do you think we should call back the 2nd Battalion first, put down the rebellion, and then launch another attack?
After all, the Eighth Route Army has been besieged on the main peak of Cangyun Ridge and cannot escape!"
"Um!"
Nobutsu Sakata nodded and agreed to the chief of staff's proposal.
…
The main peak of Cangyunling.
Li Yunlong was leading his troops to break out, but the gap in strength between the enemy and us was too great, and they were once again surrounded by the enemy on a hill.
The Japanese infantry were closing in from all sides under the cover of fire from light and heavy machine guns and grenade launchers .
At this time, a soldier who was guarding nearby suddenly said, "Captain, look over there, it seems that the Imperial Army is fighting with the Japanese."
Li Yunlong shouted, "What did you say? You dare to lie about military intelligence? Believe it or not, I will tear your head off!"
The soldier was about to cry, "Captain, if you don't believe me, you can see for yourself. Even if I had the guts to do it, I wouldn't dare to joke with you at this critical moment!"
Li Yunlong picked up the telescope with half belief and half doubt, and looked in the direction of his finger.
But I saw that on the hillside with the antenna in the distance, a group of soldiers wearing the uniforms of the Imperial Army were rushing towards the Japanese command post like crazy.
Although the Japanese tried their best to resist, they were defeated due to the huge disparity in military strength.
Not only Li Yunlong, but Zhang Dabiao next to him was also confused. He raised his hands and rubbed his eyes hard, then he made sure that he was not seeing things.
He scratched his head and asked in confusion: "Captain, let alone these puppet troops are the running dogs of the Japanese devils!
Just considering their cowardly character of being afraid of death and greedy for life, how could they dare to fight the Japanese?"
"You ask me, who should I ask?"
Although Li Yunlong had no idea what was going on between the Imperial Army and the Japanese, he keenly realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to break out, and he couldn't help but grin and laugh out loud.
"Hahaha! God is really helping me!"
"Zhang Dabiao!"
"have!"
Zhang Dabiao suddenly stood up at attention.
"Pass my order, assemble the team, and continue the attack!"
"yes !"
Zhang Dabiao responded loudly and immediately passed on Li Yunlong's order.
"Everyone, put on your bayonets, and prepare to attack!"
The new regiment had a strong execution capability, and each company once again prepared for the counterattack as quickly as possible.
Some soldiers even unscrewed the back cover of the grenade, revealing the fuse inside.
In this way, the time for dropping bombs can be greatly shortened during the attack.
Li Yunlong raised a large iron knife and shouted at the top of his voice: "Brothers, a wolf travels a thousand miles to eat meat, and a dog travels a thousand miles to eat shit!"
"When two men meet on a narrow road, the brave one wins!"
"attack!"
Two buglers jumped out of the bunker, puffed out their cheeks, and blew the passionate and high-pitched charge horns.
“Beep, beep, beep!!!”
"Charge, kill!"
The soldiers of the New 1st Regiment, holding bayonets and swords, roared and snarled like tigers and rushed towards the Japanese invaders at the foot of the mountain.
The Japanese 3rd Infantry Battalion had just received an order to return to the rescue headquarters and had switched from offense to defense, but they did not expect that the Eighth Route Army on the mountain would suddenly rush down.
Therefore, the Japanese captain Tian Qiyilang immediately changed the strategic deployment and shouted at the top of his voice: "5th, 6th, and 7th squadrons, stop these damn Chinese troops and destroy them all!"
"8th Squadron, follow me and quickly return to the headquarters!"
"Hi!"
The three Japanese captains bowed their heads suddenly, then turned around with their sabers slung over their shoulders, leading hundreds of Japanese soldiers under their command, holding Type 38 rifles with bayonets, and rushed towards the soldiers of the New 1st Regiment.
In just a moment, the soldiers of both sides collided with each other like two torrents, engaging in a bloody and brutal hand-to-hand combat.
The shouts and cries of killing suddenly resounded throughout the main peak of Cangyun Ridge.
Tian Qiyilang led more than 100 people from the 8th Squadron and rushed quickly towards the command center.
…
On the other side, Yang Lin had led his troops to a position less than 200 meters away from the Sakata regiment headquarters.
"Da da da!"
Yang Lin fired a short burst of shots, accurately killing the machine gunner of the Japanese guard squadron, and shouted: "Brothers, do you see the tent with the antenna in front?"
"That's the headquarters of the Sakata Corps!"
After a pause, Yang Lin said to Ma Gan who was standing beside him: "Ma Gan, you lead the first squad to suppress the fire, fire as hard as you can, don't save bullets for me!
Remember, I don't need to kill a lot of the Japs, but one thing is for sure: I can't let their machine guns go off!"
"yes!"
Ma Gan responded immediately and led more than 30 brothers from the second team to pull the trigger.
Suddenly, gunshots rang out, and dense bullets poured down like raindrops on the Japanese soldiers in front.
Among them, the Japanese machine gun fire points became the focus of attention.
"Teams 1 and 3, follow me and kill that old devil Sakata!"
Taking advantage of the moment when the Japanese were suppressed, Yang Lin decisively led his troops to rush forward and launched a final charge against Sakata's command post.
…
Inside the command center.
The Japanese Chief of Staff said anxiously, "Sir, the 2nd Battalion's forward attack position is more than two kilometers away. The mountain road is difficult to travel. Even if we rush at full speed, it will take at least 10 minutes!"
"To ensure safety, I suggest you move to a safe location first, and then make other plans!"
Nobutsu Sakata had a gloomy face and did not even blink even when a stray bullet flew into the command center.
"These puppet troops are just a bunch of rabble, Pu Youjun, don't worry!"
"But… …"
The Japanese Chief of Staff was about to speak, but was interrupted by Sakata Nobutsu who raised his hand fiercely: "I have made up my mind, no buts! I want to see how big a storm these puppet troops can stir up!"
After a pause, Sakata Nobutsu's mouth slightly raised, revealing a wolf-like sinister smile, and shouted: "Machine gun team, blockade the fire, kill all these damn puppet soldiers!"
Nobutsu Sakata is not blindly arrogant, but is well prepared.
Upon receiving the order, several Japanese machine gunners hiding outside the command center immediately opened the cover of the Type 92 heavy machine gun.
They swung their machine guns left and right, firing fiercely at the insurgents rushing towards them.
