Volume 1 Chapter 024 I, Chu Yunfei, am here! (Part 2)
Chenjiayu is a place with overlapping hills and crisscrossing valleys.
The Japanese Yamamoto Special Forces soldiers were moving around in the valleys, and it was not easy for the soldiers of the Independent Regiment to discover them.
It was only when they were right in front of us that we discovered the enemy.
At this time, the Japanese had already climbed up from the bottom of the cliff, preparing to take the commanding heights in one fell swoop and eliminate the Eighth Route Army's defending soldiers.
It seems that this independent regiment has some ability to become a strong enemy of the Japanese army. I didn't expect that they had arranged secret sentries in this place and discovered our whereabouts.
Although it is commendable, it still cannot stop the special forces I trained.
Colonel Yamamoto Ikki shouted: "Hurry up and get rid of the enemy as soon as possible. We don't have much time to waste here!"
The Japanese special forces soldiers held on to the ropes and climbed up hard.
The independent regiment has two battalions with nearly a thousand people stationed here.
But the area that needed to be defended was too large, and the defense line was very long.
In order to prevent the enemy from getting through, we had to station a company of soldiers at each pass and important road.
The soldiers dispersed.
Even if the enemy only has a small team of forty or fifty people.
The independent regiment has no numerical advantage at all!
Shen Quan led the Second Battalion to build civil fortifications.
The battalion commander of the third battalion, Wang Huaibao, led a company of soldiers to the edge of the cliff. They were just about to stick their heads out to check the situation of the enemy .
Bang bang…
Yamamoto's special forces soldiers, armed with German MP28Ⅱ submachine guns, lay on the ground and fired at the independent team's position.
They are equipped with magazines with a capacity of 32 rounds.
Bang bang…
More than a dozen submachine guns fired a burst of fire, hitting the edge of the cliff, causing a burst of sand and gravel to fly.
Compared with the independent regiment's bolt-action rifle, the Yamamoto Special Forces' submachine gun has more powerful firepower.
With only a dozen submachine guns, they suppressed the firepower of an entire company of the independent regiment.
The soldiers of the independent regiment couldn't even stick their heads out to check the situation.
Just when Wang Huaibao was extremely anxious, he heard a familiar voice.
The sound of a grenade launcher launching a grenade!
“Run!”
The soldiers of the first company of the third battalion ran forward desperately.
Boom boom…
Explosions were heard in the 3rd Company, and many shrapnel hit the backs of the soldiers in the 1st Company.
Fortunately, the killing radius of the grenade shell is about 5 to 8 meters.
Three or four soldiers were injured in the explosion, but there were no casualties.
The firepower could not suppress the enemy, and the Japanese had grenade launchers, a weapon with strong short-range lethality.
Zhao Gang saw that he couldn't hold the cliff, so he immediately shouted, "Captain of the Third Battalion, retreat and establish a second line of defense!"
"yes!"
The independent regiment gave up the plan to stop the Japanese army on the cliff and prepared to use civil fortifications to stop them.
No one stopped them and the Japanese special forces climbed up the cliff smoothly.
Colonel Yamamoto Ikki was very satisfied with the performance of his men.
This independent regiment is vulnerable to a blow from his own hands!
As long as we defeat this defensive force, my men can charge towards the Eighth Route Army headquarters and capture their commander alive.
Rewrite the history and glory of the First Army!
By then, the special forces I promote will be promoted by the Imperial Japanese Army, and I will be valued by the Emperor.
Yamamoto Ikki thought that he could become a general in the future.
Some soldiers from Yamamoto's special forces have already climbed to the top of the cliff.
They held a rope in one hand and a submachine gun in the other and fired at the position of the Second Battalion of the Independent Regiment to provide covering fire.
Zhao Gang squatted in the tunnel, firing a burst of shots at the enemy who were rushing up the cliff with a submachine gun.
"Fight! Don't let any enemy pass!"
Bang bang…
The weapons used by Yamamoto's special forces soldiers are the best individual weapons in the Japanese army, including submachine guns, grenade launchers, melon grenades, and flamethrowers.
Especially the grenade launcher, which is the grenade launcher of this time and space.
Many Japanese soldiers were skilled in using grenade launchers.
Yamamoto's special forces soldiers set up their grenade launchers and fired grenades.
With one shot, the machine gunner on the independent regiment's position was killed.
In close-range combat, the machine gun is the independent regiment's best suppression weapon.
However, under the efforts of Yamamoto's special forces, the machine gunners of the independent regiment suffered heavy casualties.
Shen Quan crawled to the side of Political Commissar Zhao Gang and said, "Political Commissar, we have suffered heavy casualties. We should transfer some personnel from other places to strengthen the defense here!"
Zhao Gang now blamed Li Yunlong for his arbitrary behavior. If he hadn't taken the first battalion away, how could they have been defending it so hard now?
he shouted as he fired.
"No! If the Japanese attack from other places and raid our headquarters, the boss will be in danger! Fight hard, don't let a single Japanese get through here!"
"yes!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Quan gritted his teeth, picked up his machine gun and fired at the Japanese to suppress their charge.
The independent regiment tried its best, but due to the difference in firepower and shooting accuracy, they could not withstand the Japanese offensive.
It seemed that the Japanese Yamamoto special forces were about to completely climb the cliff and occupy the position.
A voice sounded from behind.
"Brother Zhao, don't be alarmed! I, Chu Yunfei, am here!"
Just when the independent regiment was struggling to defend itself, Chu Yunfei arrived with his guard company.
In order to reassure the Communist troops, the major generals and colonels of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army's observation group only brought a few guards.
However, when going to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army was not completely confident about the Communist Army.
Their guard companies and guard battalions were placed outside the Eighth Route Army's headquarters.
As soon as the situation seemed to be amiss, they rushed in to rescue their leader.
Upon hearing that the Japanese special forces had attacked the independent regiment's defensive positions, Chu Yunfei hurried back to the guard company's base with Sun Ming and called on others to come over.
The guard company consists of one man and one horse.
This speed is certainly not slow.
Just when the Japanese special forces were about to rush to the cliff, Chu Yunfei arrived with the guard company.
He dismounted, took the submachine gun thrown by Sun Ming, and shouted, "Shoot! Drive these devils away!"
"Yes! Commander!"
Each Japanese special forces member was equipped with a submachine gun.
The guard company of the 358th team also has one submachine gun per person.
It also has a geographical advantage.
Bang, bang, bang…
A series of bullets formed a line and swept over!
Three or five of the Japanese soldiers who were at the front were killed immediately!
Five machine gunners lay on the ground, raised their Czech light machine guns, supported the gun handles with their shoulders, and pulled the triggers.
Bang, bang, bang…
Submachine guns and machine guns opened fire at full capacity. In an instant, the cliff was filled with the sound of gunfire, and it never stopped.
Under such fierce firepower, the momentum of the Japanese special forces was directly suppressed.
They didn't dare to stand up and launch an attack. They just lay on the ground and fired at the independent regiment.
Suddenly, rapid gunfire was heard on the mountain, and what was important was that it was obviously not the sound of the submachine guns in the hands of Yamamoto's special forces.
Colonel Yamamoto Ikki, the leader of the Yamamoto Special Forces, shouted angrily, "What happened up there?"
Deputy Captain Kanno Masayasu lowered his head and said, "Colonel! The Eighth Route Army above suddenly got help from the Nationalist Army. The firepower of these Nationalist troops is very strong, and we are suppressed by them!"
Hearing that the enemy had only added one company to resist the attack of his men , and even showed signs of counterattack, Colonel Yamamoto Ikki was furious.
His special forces are the strongest.
Even if it is just a small team, it can defeat a Chinese regiment or even a brigade.
There is absolutely no way we can lose to a company.
Colonel Yamamoto Ikki shouted, "Baga! My Yamamoto Special Forces are the strongest. Send a squad up from the side and attack them!"
"yes!"
On the front, there was a squadron, two companies of the independent regiment, and a guard company of the 358th regiment facing each other.
Yamamoto's special forces sent a squad to climb up another cliff and attack .
As long as a gap is opened, Yamamoto's special forces will rush in, attack the enemy directly and attack the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.
Yamamoto’s plan was good, but how could Chu Yunfei, who was well prepared, let the Japanese get what they wanted?
Lying on the sandbags on the battlefield, Chu Yunfei shouted, "Take out the grenades and follow my orders. After pulling the safety ring, don't throw it out right away. Wait for 3 seconds! Do you hear me?"
"Yes!" shouted the guard company soldier.
"Go, one, two, three! Throw!"
The soldiers of the guard company threw the grenades in their hands.
After flying for twenty or thirty meters, many grenades landed on the heads of the Japanese and exploded.
Boom boom boom…
The grenade exploded in the air, expanding the area where the shrapnel spread.
ah……
Seven or eight Japanese soldiers were killed instantly, and more had dozens of shrapnel stuck in their bodies and bleeding profusely.
There was wailing in the Japanese position.
Seeing that many of the Japanese soldiers who climbed up the cliff had been killed or wounded, the sound of their gunfire also weakened a lot.
Zhao Gang seized the opportunity and shouted, "Mount bayonets and attack!"
The soldiers of the independent regiment pulled out their bayonets and installed them on the muzzles of their guns, climbed out of their positions, and launched an attack on the Japanese positions.
Chu Yunfei saw that the explosion of the grenade was very effective and was just about to launch another wave.
But before he could even utter a word, he saw the soldiers of the independent regiment rushing out and engaging in hand-to-hand combat.
He had no choice but to give up the second wave of grenade tactics and pulled out his Browning pistol. "Brothers, charge forward. Don't lose to the independent regiment. It will bring shame to our 358th Regiment. Kill!"
"kill!"
The guard company was composed of the best soldiers selected from the 358th team. They climbed up from the position with submachine guns in hand and rushed towards the enemy's position.
As for Chu Yunfei?
He stayed where he was, holding a Zhongzheng rifle, and when he saw the Japanese soldier showing his head, he shot him.
Chu Yunfei had just seen a Japanese soldier and was about to shoot him.
boom!
The Japanese soldier fell down, but he was not the one who killed him.
Chu Yunfei tried to look over and saw Zhao Gang holding a Type 38 rifle with white smoke coming out of the muzzle.
After killing one Japanese soldier, Zhao Gang went to find another one.
Chu Yunfei thought to himself.
Zhao Gang looks honest, but surprisingly, he is also a good shooter!
like me!
