Bright Sword: Leading the Special Operations Squadron to Fight the Japs

The Japanese soldiers at Liujiazhai used binoculars to inform Yamazaki at Guanjianao of the First Battalion's civil engineering plan through flag signals.

In less than a minute, several mortars and grenade launchers were aimed at the soldiers who were digging in the earth.

It has to be said that the Japanese used the grenade launcher to the extreme. A trained Japanese soldier could hit a target within 100 meters with a grenade launcher with an accuracy rate of up to 90%.

With a few dull explosions of "bang bang bang", the soldiers of the digging battalion were blown to pieces by the Japanese grenade launchers.

Li Yunlong took a look through the telescope and waved his hand, and the soldiers of the first battalion filled in again. Yamazaki did the same thing, and half of the soldiers of the squad died again.

"Damn those Japs! Commander, I'll go after them myself!"

A battalion commander picked up a shovel and prepared to dig the soil.

But Li Yunlong stopped him. The Japanese were now in the dark and the independent regiment was in the light. If you made the slightest movement, the grenade launcher would immediately hit your head.

This method of civil engineering excavation is ineffective.

Li Yulong was in a dilemma. He thought he had come up with a good idea, but he didn't expect the Japanese grenade launchers and mortars to be so accurate.

Could it be that Li Yunlong was digging anti-artillery holes while digging?

Besides, if we really dig like this, it will take a long time to dig below 30 meters.

"Let the soldiers withdraw first and stay alert! Political Commissar, Kong Jie, Wang Meng, let's have a meeting!"

Wang Meng looked at the terrain of Guanjiazhai and Liujiazhai on the map again. His special forces team could indeed attack from the terraces on the east and west sides, but there would probably be some casualties.

The soldiers he brought were all carefully selected professional soldiers. Most of them had received training in military academies. They would be used to develop and expand the team, or even engage in military industry and production. They were rare talents, and he did not dare to waste them.

It would be great if I had a howitzer. I could just hit a base directly. If I can't kill you with the bomb, I'll at least shock you to death.

Wang Meng's brain raced. If the ground attack failed, then the only options were the sky and underground. The sky attack was definitely nonsense. How about digging a deeper tunnel under the Japanese's buttocks, burying TNT there, and blowing their buttocks apart directly?

"Captain, how about we attack from the north?"

Kong Jie poked his fingers, which were as thick as twigs, at the map with an incredible expression.

"Captain Wang, there is a cliff to the north. The 772nd Regiment tried to attack from there, but before they got halfway up, bullets hit their heads directly, and they lost an entire company."

"Deputy Captain Kong, let's change our tactics. Let's follow Captain Li's method and dig a tunnel directly under Yamazaki's buttocks, then fill it with high explosives and send them directly to the sky!"

The soil in Guanjiazhai is very suitable for digging holes, otherwise there would not be a cave there.

Li Yunlong thought for a while.

"Wang Meng, your method is theoretically feasible. But digging to the bottom of Guanjiazhai is not an easy task. Besides, the black powder in our border area is good for frying fish, but it is still a long way to go to overturn Guanjiazhai."

Wang Meng already had a countermeasure. Their special forces team has many experts in directional blasting. Wouldn't it be faster to use detonators and TNT than to use a shovel?

Moreover, there was only black powder in the border area, but what Wang Meng had was high explosives.

Wang Meng patted his chest so loudly that it shook the earth.

"Captain, if you give me half a day, I will blow the Japanese troops at Guanjiazhai and Liujiazhai to pieces!"

Li Yunlong knew Wang Meng. He was not the kind of person who liked to boast or make big promises. Since he said so, he must be 80% sure.

"Okay! You take charge of the north side, and we'll continue to think of a solution for the south side. If everyone has no objection, let's do it!"

"no!"

Li Yunlong looked at Zhao Gang's frown and asked.

"Commissar Zhao, if you have any opinions, please raise them."

"According to intelligence, there are more than 300 civilians in Liujiazhai, being forced by Yamazaki to dig fortifications. If Liujiazhai is blown up, the explosives have no eyes, won't the civilians be killed like the devils?"

Wang Meng took a breath of cold air. Fortunately, Zhao Gang reminded him, otherwise he would have become the murderer of ordinary people.

"Captain, Political Commissar, let's send our special forces to raid Liujiazhai tonight and rescue the civilians."

Liujiazhai has a squadron of Yamazaki, more than a hundred Japanese soldiers, who are no match for the special forces in terms of combat power. However, the Japanese soldiers have the advantage of terrain and may take civilians as hostages, so this battle is not easy to fight.

"Wang Meng, are you sure?"

"No problem, even if it's just a rehearsal for fighting the Japanese special forces. We will raid tonight, but I have a request."

Li Yunlong smacked his lips.

"Say!"

"Stop the attack tonight. We need to break in when the enemy is most relaxed. If we alarm the devil, the people will be in danger."

"Okay, I promise you!"

Wang Meng saluted and returned to the special forces team that was resting.

"Well, Captain, what is our mission?"

Zhang Xuan couldn't wait to ask before Wang Meng sat down.

These special forces, whose equipment is decades ahead of the ordinary soldiers of the independent regiment, have long been unable to hold back. Do they want to watch their predecessors sacrifice their lives while they hide behind with the best equipment?

Zhang Xuan couldn't do it, Lin Shubing couldn't do it, and none of the 111 special forces members could do it.

"Everyone, take a good rest. We will launch a surprise attack on Liujiazhai tonight. Instructor Lin, pick a soldier who is proficient in directional blasting and go find Captain Li. There is a mission!"

Wang Meng always does this, throwing the hot potato to Lin Shubing. Now that the war is imminent, it would be bad to let anyone leave the main force. It is better to give the task of selecting people to the instructor who is in charge of ideological work!

Lin Shubing shook his head.

At nightfall, except for a few observation posts, all other soldiers of the independent regiment withdrew to a place beyond the Japanese's firing range and began to rest.

Yamazaki looked at the Eighth Route Army withdrawing from their positions and couldn't help but smile on his dark face.

"The Eighth Route Army is nothing but this. Send a telegram to General Shinozuka. The Eighth Route Army has been defeated by us. The Yamazaki Battalion has decided to launch a general attack tomorrow morning!"

"Let the warriors of the empire have a good rest and counterattack tomorrow morning! Also, don't forget to tell the First Squadron at Liujiazhai."

"Hayi!"

As soon as Li Yunlong withdrew from the position, the headquarters immediately called him. Was Li Yunlong afraid of fighting? Why did he withdraw without firing a shot?

Brigade Commander Chen was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.

"Li Yunlong, what are you doing? I heard that you ran away without firing a shot? If you don't take Liujiazhai and Guanjiazhai before noon tomorrow, I'll take your head!"

"Master Brigadier, calm down. I know what's going on. Don't worry, I'll send you Yamazaki's head before noon tomorrow!"

"Humph! If you can't defeat me, I'll fire you!"

Li Yunlong listened to the busy tone on the phone and was stunned. Can he really take down this kid Wang Meng?

Damn it, if there is no other choice, I will just charge forward even if I have to use a big knife!

At three o'clock in the morning, when everyone was most sleepy, dozens of faces covered in oil paint appeared ten meters in front of the Japanese machine gun position in the Liujiazhai cave.
