Age of Rebirth

Chapter 620

With the help of more than a dozen vehicles and the military uniforms of the Kwantung Army Major, Bai Lishan led more than 180 people from the Special Warfare Unit [-] to sneak into Licheng. The car broke down at the gate of the city, which was also part of the plan. Everyone relied on a Japanese soldier, even the Japanese shooter manipulating light and heavy machine guns on the tower, lighting cigarettes for fire, chatting with Japanese soldiers, everything was normal.

The second lieutenant of the Japanese army who was beaten felt that this was not in line with the rules. Just as he was about to speak out to remind him, he was pulled aside by the second lieutenant of the Kwantung Army who was at the same level as him. This is a good thing. It is not a front-line combat force. Usually there are only a very small number of quotas. The second lieutenant does not know how many days he has not tasted the taste of meat. An ordinary little second lieutenant can take out good things easily.

The leaders of the combat teams all gestured for readiness. Bai Lishan turned on the flashlight in his hand, and the dazzling light pierced the night sky. , The severe pain instantly overwhelmed him, his eyes lost their brilliance, and he looked in disbelief at the second lieutenant of the Kwantung Army who was as affectionate as a brother just now, smiled and put the bloody dagger back into its sheath, and fell heavily to the ground.

In just a few minutes, the fifty or so Japanese sentries near the city gate were all shot, and the whole process was straightforward without firing a single shot. Bai Lishan sent a signal to the outside of the city with a flashlight, and Sun Zhenbang punched excitedly. He hit the ground. In the past, he always thought that the legends about the special warfare detachment were a bit exaggerated. This time, he completely believed it. No wonder Tang Qiuquan was always full of confidence. With these treasures, what can't be done? [

Troops poured into Licheng, and from the mouth of a Japanese soldier Cao Zhang who deliberately left him alive, Bai Lishan had already understood the situation of the Japanese army's defense in Licheng, and the troops rushed towards the set target. The car arrived at the Japanese army supply station in Licheng. The unsuspecting Japanese guards had their throats cut with a dagger, and soldiers from the special warfare unit were immediately put on guard at the door.

Bai Lishan ordered the soldiers to fill the car with weapons and medicines as much as possible. The remaining supplies and medicines could not be taken away or left for the little devils. After pouring gasoline and installing explosives, Bai Lishan picked up a light machine gun and pointed at He fired a long burst into the sky, which was the signal to start the attack.

As the clear gunshots pierced the night sky, the peaceful Licheng boiled up in an instant. There were gunshots everywhere, and explosions of flames lit up the night from time to time. Licheng was already an empty city, except for the Japanese barracks. A living person can fight with peace of mind, and there is no need to worry about accidentally injuring civilians. The two squadrons of the scattered Japanese troops were wiped out. The fighting was mainly concentrated in the headquarters of the Japanese army.

After being attacked suddenly, the Japanese soldiers woke up from the initial panic. Under the command of the Japanese captain, they quickly used the existing terrain to fight back. The whole process took less than 5 minutes. The quality of the Japanese soldiers can be seen. The fierce gunfire outside The sound made the Japanese army captain realize the seriousness of the situation, and Licheng was attacked by the squadron.

He immediately used the radio to call the regiment headquarters stationed in She County, reported the critical situation in Licheng, and then organized soldiers to resist desperately. The Japanese soldiers of the two squadrons surrounded by the barracks, under the command of commanders at all levels, fought The shooting was quite methodical, the marksmanship of the Japanese soldiers was not bragging, they were very accurate, and within 10 minutes of the shooting, more than [-] soldiers of Sun Zhenbang's troops had already been killed or injured.

Sun Zhenbang was furious and ordered the correspondent to call the mortar company over immediately. In the place where the pigsty was big, I had more than 30 mortars and still couldn't flatten him. As soon as the correspondent left, there was a rumbling explosion in the direction of the Japanese supply station in the city. The sound rang out one after another, and the skyrocketing fire ignited in an instant, turning half of Licheng into red. Sun Zhenbang was relieved, the special operations team had also succeeded, and today's combat objective was half completed.

After Bai Lishan blew up the supply station, he drove a truck to join Sun Zhenbang, and the mortar company also arrived. Thirty mortars immediately bombarded the Japanese barracks violently. Bai Lishan was greedy enough, and a dozen trucks were filled with Not to mention the medicine, but also installed eight 200-type infantry guns. There are more than [-] boxes of guns alone, and more than [-] boxes of mortars.

Sun Zhenbang punched Bai Lishan hard, his joy was beyond words, he is really a clever guy, since he has enough cannons, why not be polite, they all hit the little devil's head, inside the Japanese barracks, the smoke and dust rose to the sky, The flames were shining, billowing thick smoke and flames shrouded the sky over the Japanese barracks, and the red-eyed Japanese soldiers broke through desperately.

The captain of the Japanese army heard the explosion sound from the direction of the supply station and knew that it had been blown up by the squadron. He looked up and sighed. Pulling out the command saber, he was about to stab his abdomen. When a mortar shot fell, a shallow pit appeared on the ground, scattered limbs and broken arms, and a broken command saber lay dimly on the ground. Sun Zhenbang was ruthless enough. , Not even giving him a chance to commit suicide.

The bombardment lasted for 10 minutes, more than 1000 shells turned over several small Japanese barracks, and the soldiers rushed in. The diffuse smoke stimulated them to cough continuously. The corpses of Japanese soldiers were everywhere, and none of them was intact. Among the damaged houses, there was not a single Japanese soldier alive, not even seriously injured, and there was no need to clean up the battlefield. One of the guns of the Japanese soldiers was restored to the state of spare parts. In terms of firepower density, the small-scale battle just now was In the previous battles of the Independent Division, the firepower was the most intensive.

The progress of the battle was faster than Sun Zhenbang expected, and it was over in one hour, three and ten minutes. The troops withdrew from Licheng. The nearby buildings were burned and spread. Even if the little devils occupy Licheng again, they can only live in tents. If the burning continues like this, until dawn, Licheng will be full of ashes, rubble and ruins everywhere.

The shining flames reflected the excited faces of the soldiers. This battle was really enjoyable. At the cost of eight people were killed and a dozen people were injured, in more than an hour, they killed more than 1000 people in a brigade of little devils. All the medicines and supplies were destroyed, and quite a few were retrieved easily.

Explosions were faintly heard from the direction of Shexian County. Sun Zhenbang hurriedly walked to the walkie-talkie, responsible for blocking the company of the Japanese army in Shexian County, and exchanged fire with the reinforcements. Now that the battle in Licheng is over, there is no need to waste time with the reinforcements. Increased casualties, just as he was about to give the order to retreat, the words of the company commander in charge of the blocking force made his mind spin rapidly again.

The company commander reported that the Japanese army in Shexian County dispatched two squadrons to reinforce Licheng. The landmines and explosives laid in advance knocked people out of their wits. More than 40 minutes passed and they still hadn’t passed the minefield. The engineers were clearing mines , Ask Sun Zhenbang whether to fight and the troops will withdraw.

Sun Zhenbang looked at his watch, it was around eleven o'clock at night, and it was still early before dawn, so he decided to strike while the iron was hot, kill another guy, and eat up the two squadrons of Japanese reinforcements in Licheng. As soon as Bai Lishan said, the eyes of these two people immediately lit up. If the Japanese army of the two brigades were dispatched, we would not be able to defeat them. Only the two squadrons would eat the fat that was brought to our mouths.

The battle plan was determined in this way. Sun Zhenbang wanted to contact the security forces in the direction of Lucheng, and asked if there were any Japanese troops in Lucheng to reinforce the direction of Licheng. After receiving a definite answer, he was relieved. Fighting, the chosen fighting method is ambush, and the location is Xiangtangpu. This is the place where Tang Qiuli commanded troops to ambush the Second Army of the North China Japanese Army. It also attracted the Kwantung Army's Southward Corps, Sun Zhenbang Corps, to participate in that battle Fighting, he is very familiar with the terrain around Xiangtangpu.

Sun Zhenbang ordered the blocking troops to hold back the Japanese reinforcements for an hour and a half. After receiving his order, they moved out of the way to let the little devils pass, and then quickly returned to Jian to participate in the battle. The troops immediately went north, and more than a dozen trucks were full. The soldiers were unloaded, part of the medicine was unloaded, and carried by the troops behind. The mortar company and an infantry company set off first. Sun Zhenbang was not willing to leave the eight [-]-type infantry guns, and the car quickly headed towards Xiangtangpu. drive away.

The two Japanese squadrons that reinforced Licheng were bombed, killing and injuring nearly a hundred people, and were delayed for more than an hour by the densely covered minefield. , The Japanese army dropped dozens of corpses, and the chief of staff of the Japanese army regiment who led the team was so angry that he went crazy. If it weren't for the reinforcements in Licheng, these despicable Chinese soldiers who only shot secretly and dared not fight head-on would have to be torn to pieces.

Fortunately, the Chinese soldiers withdrew, and the Japanese army continued to march towards Licheng. After crossing the Qingzhang River and reaching Xiangtangpu, there was a small hill with low terrain, which was the only dangerous terrain. From the point of view, this kind of place is not suitable for the use of troops. First, there is no favorable terrain for the troops to use, and it is impossible to hide their forces. Moreover, it is easy to be counterattacked by the opponent. There are not many trees on the bare hills. , you can see the top of the mountain at a glance. [

However, Sun Zhenbang chose this place for the ambush. He wanted to take advantage of the Japanese army's eagerness to reinforce Licheng. Naturally, they would not be on guard against the terrain where troops were used like this. A few mortars, evenly deployed on both wings, and eight [-]-type infantry guns, plus dozens of light and heavy machine guns obtained by Bai Lishan, enough ammunition, the strength of the Japanese army surpassed that of the Japanese army. Not good, Sun Zhenbang would rather kill him head-on.
