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

Li Yunlong noticed that Wang Meng was hesitating, so he just left him out.

"Mengzi, stop acting like a little wife. If you have something to say, say it now. If you have to fart, fart now!"

"Captain, according to my analysis, the Japanese brigade is feinting this time to tie up most of our forces and then take the opportunity to launch a surprise attack on our headquarters."

Chu Yunfei had a different opinion on Wang Meng's judgment. With such a large-scale operation and a feint of a brigade, what would be the scale of the protagonist?

"Captain Wang, forgive me for being blunt, but this judgment is basically not valid. A brigade directly attacked your army, which would be enough to make your army suffer. Why bother with a feint attack? Besides, what size of army was it that attacked the headquarters?"

"Captain Chu, our Eighth Route Army is good at mountain warfare, and the headquarters moves quickly. Once we enter the mountains, the enemy will be helpless. Therefore, his brigade will not be able to cope with it. As for the troops that attacked the headquarters, I guess it was Yamamoto's special forces!"

Hiss! Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang took a breath of cold air.

Only those who have witnessed the power of Yamamoto's special forces know how powerful ordinary troops and special forces are.

Seeing their expressions suddenly change, Chu Yunfei couldn't help but become curious. What exactly is this Yamamoto Special Forces?

Li Yunlong told Chu Yunfei about the defeat suffered by the Independent Regiment in Yangcun, and of course the casualty ratio of zero to two hundred.

"Hiss, your troops could be beaten like this? It seems like they are really hard to deal with!"

Li Yunlong fell into anxiety.

If the entire regiment goes to Chenjiayu to fight a positional battle and defend the headquarters, there will be almost no strategic depth. By then, the 9th Brigade will change the feint attack to a frontal attack. The enemy's artillery is not made of paper.

"I order Zhang Dabiao's First Battalion, the Reconnaissance Company, and the Artillery Training Class to follow me and move 20 miles forward to monitor the movements of the Japanese. Political Commissar Zhao will lead the rest of the Second Battalion, the Third Battalion, and the Special Operations Team to garrison Chenjiayu and protect the safety of the headquarters."

"Old Li, do you want to report your combat intentions to the head of the headquarters?"

"Don't worry, wait until we have confirmed the movements of the devils before reporting. Action!"

The artillery training class brought ten 75mm infantry guns, five 37mm anti-tank guns, ten 81mm mortars, and twenty 50mm mortars.

Based on the experience of the Dushan battle, the artillery training class built mortar positions on the reverse slope of Niutouling Mountain, a place where the Japanese must pass, and then built 75mm infantry gun positions and 37mm anti-tank gun positions on the ridge of the hillside.

Wang Chengzhu was already tired of firing mortars. Today, he squatted next to the infantry gun in the anti-artillery cave and vowed to fire a shot.

Monk Wei, wearing a camouflage net, rushed to Li Yunlong with his eyes wide open.

"Captain, where is our special forces company's position?"

Li Yunlong pointed to the foot of the mountain, which was less than a hundred meters away from the road.

"Monk, you've been with me for so long, you're my best friend. This is your reconnaissance company's first battle, don't waste your equipment, set up an ambush at the place closest to the enemy, and launch the attack first!"

"Captain, just wait and see!"

Monk Wei led more than 130 reconnaissance company soldiers and quickly maneuvered to the grass at the foot of the mountain to begin building positions and camouflage.

Chu Yunfei picked up the telescope and looked at the soldiers of the reconnaissance company who blended into the bushes. He couldn't help but sigh, these colorful clothes and camouflage nets are really good things.

"Brother Yunlong, is it dangerous for the reconnaissance company to be so far forward?"

"Dangerous? The mission of the reconnaissance company is to do the most dangerous work. If you are afraid of danger, go home and take care of your children. Don't even bother to serve in my independent regiment, let alone in the reconnaissance company."

"Well said! If civil officials don't love money and military officials don't fear death, why worry about the world not being peaceful?"

After getting to know each other, Li Yunlong discovered that this literary Chu Yunfei was really different from other Kuomintang officers and was really dedicated to fighting the Japanese.

"Brother Yunfei, if all the officers in your army were like you, the Nationalist government wouldn't have been defeated so quickly in Zhongtiao Mountain, right? I think it's because you, Jiang Guangtou, don't do your job and just think about infighting every day."

"Brother Yunlong! We soldiers just need to fight well. Talking about politics is what politicians do. By the way, I just saw that your artillery positions are well-built, and there are forty or fifty cannons. Brother Yunlong, are you willing to explain?"

Li Yunlong glanced at Chu Yunfei and despised him a hundred times in his heart. Do I have to tell you, Chu Yunfei, that I got the artillery with my personal charm?

Besides, even if I tell you Chu Yunfei, can you still learn the essence of our Old Li?

To sum it up in one sentence, you can’t learn my charm.

Li Yunlong was digging holes and digging holes, while Zhao Gang and Wang Meng were also busy.

Zhao Gang is a political cadre. His personal combat qualities and fighting will are beyond reproach, but in terms of commanding troops, he is still far behind Wang Meng, especially in special operations, so he basically handed over the command to Wang Meng.

Wang Meng arranged Shen Quan's Second Battalion in front of the cliff, and the Third Battalion and the Cavalry Company remained with the headquarters leaders as a reserve force, ready to provide support and evacuate at any time.

"Political Commissar Zhao, I'll leave a platoon of special forces with you to be in charge of liaison and mortars. I'll take the rest of the soldiers with me!"

"Okay, be careful!"

After Wang Meng finished speaking, the other two platoons of soldiers moved towards the hillside opposite the cliff. He originally wanted to eliminate Yamamoto's special forces on the way, but he didn't know Yamamoto's route, so he could only wait and see.

The special forces occupied the hillside more than 100 meters away diagonally opposite the cliff, built four 50mm mortar positions, and arranged a number of snipers, trying to eliminate Yamamoto Ikki directly on the cliff to prevent this old Japanese from having the blood of Chinese people on his hands again.

In Taiyuan City, Lieutenant General Yoshio Shinozuka, the highest commander of northwest Shanxi, was giving a speech to Yamamoto's special forces.

"Colonel Yamamoto, and the brave warriors of the Yamamoto Special Forces, you will make history today and open a precedent for the Empire's special operations. You must destroy the Eighth Route Army's command system! Please!"

After Lieutenant General Shinozuka finished speaking, he bowed formally.

Yamamoto Ikki, who was fully armed, also led his troops to bend down.

"Hi!"

Lieutenant General Shinozuka sent the special forces onto the truck and began to give instructions beside the vehicle.

"Mr. Yamamoto, in order to promote the spirit of special operations, I have invited the North China Front Army Observation Group to the Eighth Route Army Headquarters to watch the battle. As the protagonists of this play, you must present a perfect performance."

"General, please rest assured that Yamamoto's special forces will definitely perform well in this drama and let the Eighth Route Army make a perfect curtain call!"
