Bright Sword: Develop alone, bring back an artillery regiment

Chapter 37 The Independence Regiment with Heavy Losses
The secret service team is similar to the ancient assassins, who pay attention to missing a hit and fleeing immediately.Although its combat effectiveness is strong, it has never targeted large troops.

In the eyes of Kazuki Yamamoto, only the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army and Yan Laoxi's headquarters are his targets, so there is no need to head-to-head with the independent regiment.

Otherwise, once it is delayed until the main force of the Eighth Route Army arrives, at that time, no matter how strong the combat effectiveness of the secret service team is, it cannot be the opponent of the large forces of the Eighth Route Army.

After receiving the order from Captain Kazuki Yamamoto, the devil agents of the first team immediately changed their formation, alternately covering and retreating in groups.

The first battalion commander of the independent regiment saw that the Devil's secret service team wanted to retreat, so he naturally had to carry out the order of the commander Kong Jie, and wanted to hold back the devils, so they rushed to the Devil's secret service team one after another.

The marksmanship of the Devils agents was already extremely accurate, but now that the soldiers of the Independence Regiment had no cover, they became living targets.

"Tut, chug, chug, chug..."

The M3 submachine gun continuously sprayed out flames, pouring out a large rain of dense bullets, covering the battalion of soldiers rushing forward.

If these devil agents were using bolt-action rifles, the charge of the first battalion might have entangled them.

After all, every time a bolt-action rifle is shot, it is necessary to pull the bolt again to eject the shell, then push the bullet to load, aim and shoot. After a set of procedures, no matter how fast the gunner is, it will waste some time, which provides the possibility for the troops to charge .

But these ghost agents used M3 submachine guns, and they fired alternately. Before the bullets were used up, they could basically shoot uninterrupted.

As a result, the soldiers of the independent regiment who charged had no chance at all, and could only be reduced to living targets, falling in pieces in a pool of blood.

On the other side, the outflanking of the second and third battalions was also blocked by the second and third teams of the Yamamoto Special Forces.

In the end, not only did the First Battalion of the Independent Regiment fail to drag the Yamamoto Special Team, but under the counterattack of the Yamamoto Special Team, it caused huge casualties...

After the Yamamoto Special Forces retreated, Kong Jie came to the frontline battlefield.

Seeing that all the soldiers lying on the ground were soldiers from the Independence Regiment, but did not see a dead devil, only picked up a strange helmet, Kong Jie suddenly became furious: "Where are the devils? Why are the bodies of our soldiers all on the ground?" ? Didn’t you even kill a devil?”

After fighting for so long, with so many casualties on his own side, not only did he fail to kill a devil, but he didn't even know the identity of the opponent. This made Kong Jie very angry and aggrieved.

It's not that Kong Jie has never lost a battle, but this is the first time he has lost a battle like this.

The battalion commander next to him lowered his head and explained: "Regiment commander... this devil is completely different from the ones we encountered before. They all use submachine guns, not only accurate marksmanship, but also fierce firepower."

"Our first battalion tried to hold them back, but not only failed, it caused huge casualties anyway."

In less than half an hour of firefighting, the entire independent regiment lost more than 300 people. Among them, the first battalion, which launched an attack from the front and wanted to hold down the Yamamoto special team, suffered the most losses, and the organizational system was about to be disabled.

That's not what Kong Jie wanted to hear. He scolded with a sullen face, "No matter how fierce the devil's firepower is, he was raised by his father and mother. Can he still carry two heads on his shoulders?"

"Even if it's a blind cat, if he touches it, he will always meet a dead mouse, right?"

"It's good for you, a devil was not killed, so it's possible that he was shooting into the sky?"

The first battalion commander lowered his head, wishing he could find a crack in the ground and get in.

This battle was too aggrieved, shameful, shameful.

Even if I wanted to continue explaining, I couldn't find an excuse.

As a qualified commander, Kong Jie was not dazzled by the failure, he knew that the devil army that suddenly appeared in Yang Village was definitely not simple, so he immediately gave instructions: "I will punish you later! All battalions, immediately dispatch scouts to conduct reconnaissance within a 10-kilometer radius of the opponent! Find out the origin of this devil!"

"At the same time, report this matter immediately!"

Kong Jie knew that the Independence Regiment had suffered such a big defeat, and it was impossible to hide it. Moreover, he obviously couldn't do it by himself if he wanted to investigate the identity of this group of devils.

At the same time, it is also to serve as a warning to other friendly troops to strengthen their vigilance, so as not to let this group of devils take advantage of their loopholes.

It has to be said that officers of the Eighth Route Army are fundamentally different from officers of the National Army in this respect.

If it was another officer of the national army, he would definitely not report this matter, and maybe he would get a few fake corpses to claim credit from his superiors...

On the other side, after several hours of interspersed training, Wang Chengzhu finally led the Spike Special Forces to Maple Leaf Ridge.

It is located on the edge of the enemy-occupied area and the non-enemy-occupied area. Although the terrain is quite dangerous, it is not an important pass. Therefore, neither the enemy nor the enemy competes for it, and there is no garrison.

As the team gathered, Wang Chengzhu told the team members: "This afternoon, I received a secret message that a special force of devils will pass by Maple Leaf Ridge in the early hours of tonight."

"So, in addition to practicing interspersed infiltration this time, we also have to meet the devil's special forces for a while."

All the team members immediately cheered up. After half a month of training, their strength has improved significantly, so they are eager to prove themselves.

Through the faint moonlight, Wang Chengzhu saw the expressions on the faces of the team members, his face sank immediately, and he said seriously: "I must remind you that this Devil special forces team is also well-equipped, and their training time is also They are far longer than you, so their individual combat effectiveness is not worse than yours, and even stronger. Also, this devil special force has more people than you."

Upon hearing this, the team members immediately put away their contempt, and their expressions became serious.

Wang Chengzhu continued: "Of course, we are not without advantages, that is, the enemy is in the open, we are in the dark, and we can seize favorable terrain in advance!"

"Now, I order you to immediately find favorable terrain to build firepower points, and take cover! This is also one of your training assessments, and I will check it later!"

"In addition, since this is the first operation of our Spike Special Forces, I will personally carry out the task of scouting the enemy's situation!"

"Yes!"

All the station members agreed with a loud bang, and then immediately searched for a suitable ambush position with the team as a unit.

It is worth mentioning that, of course, Wang Chengzhu was not sure that the Yamamoto Special Forces would definitely pass by Maple Leaf Ridge.

Of course it's a good thing for them to come, if they don't come, it's a big deal that the information is wrong, and there is no loss for the Spike Special Forces and him.

A few minutes later, Wang Chengzhu checked the ambush positions selected by each team. Although Wang Chengzhu was not very satisfied with some places, it was not bad overall.

Then, Wang Chengzhu led Duan Peng to the direction of Mansion Bay, and personally acted as an outpost...
