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

Li Yunlong saw Wang Meng and Wang Chengzhu at the artillery command post more than 300 meters away from the artillery position.

They were tinkering with radios and walkie-talkies, testing communications with the various infantry companies on the front line.

Before setting off, Wang Chengzhu had sent ten artillery liaison officers with walkie-talkies to each company.

At that time, if the front-line troops need fire support, they can directly contact the artillery command for point-to-point support strikes.

Li Yunlong exclaimed, "Wow!" The infantry company's own mortars can hit small targets, but they are not strong enough to hit large targets. Once the infantry can call for artillery support, all targets, big and small, will be fully covered.

"Mengzi, how do you plan to arrange your special forces? Do you have any ideas?"

"Captain, the Japanese don't know we are equipped with heavy artillery yet. When they find out, I'm afraid they will raid our artillery positions. So, I want to bring the special forces to support the artillery positions."

Wang Meng was not only considering preventing the Japanese infantry from launching a sneak attack, but also assisting the anti-aircraft artillery company in shooting down the Japanese planes, and at the same time testing Wang Chengzhu's infantry and artillery coordination to prevent the howitzers from falling on his own people.

"Okay, then you guys stay here, but don't let my beloved baby suffer any harm!"

"Yes!"

"Captain, why don't you see the reconnaissance company?"

"Hey, I'll ask Monk Wei to lead the reconnaissance company to serve some appetizers to the Japanese!"

Monk Wei was leading the special forces team on a motorcycle on a mountain path, and in less than an hour they arrived at Xigaoping Village, which is close to Anyang County.

The road next to Xigaoping Village is the only way from Anyang to Linzhou. Monk Wei is preparing to whet the appetite of the Japanese here.

After sending out an observation post, Monk Wei led the special forces team to lay down a lot of wires and iron boxes on the road.

"Captain, why do we have such fake booby traps? Why don't we just make some real ones? We can make them, too."

"What do you know? This is called deception in war. Just wait and see."

After completing the arrangements in Xigaoping Village, Monk Wei left three fast soldiers with walkie-talkies to monitor the situation, and he led the main force back to Beizhangwu Village, five miles away, and set up fake booby traps in the same way.

When they arrived, they still left three soldiers behind to continue monitoring.

Finally they arrived at Jiulongshan Village. All the soldiers of the reconnaissance company got off their vehicles and hid their motorcycles on Jiulong Mountain. Some soldiers built positions on Jiulong Mountain, and some soldiers set up real booby traps on the road.

Six Broadsword mines were placed in a row beside the road, without even any camouflage.

Dozens of homemade trip-detonated bombs were also carelessly thrown on the roadside, but the homemade bombs at the west end of the road were also fake.

After setting the booby trap, Wei Dayong went up to the Jiulong Mountain position, overlooking the road more than a hundred meters away, and smiled sinisterly.

"Hey, these appetizers are enough to feed the devils!"

Monk Wei began to invite the soldiers of the reconnaissance company to start eating, preparing to teach the Japanese a lesson.

Because the special forces company had a lot of tasks to do and killed a lot of Japanese devils, they exchanged a large amount of instant noodles, compressed biscuits and egg powder.

So the soldiers took out the compressed biscuits and started chewing them.

"Report to the company commander, the Japs are moving out!"

Monk Wei pressed the walkie-talkie.

"Got it. Keep an eye on the situation. Once the little devils are done, quickly head to Beizhangwu Village to join us."

The Japanese Yoshino Battalion guarding Anyang set out from Anyang City in a mighty manner and headed towards Linzhou County.

The battalion commander, Lieutenant Colonel Yoshino, led a reinforced battalion of more than 1500 people and two Type infantry guns, and was determined to capture Linzhou County.

"Mr. Yoshino, according to reliable intelligence, a battalion of the Eighth Route Army is deploying on the Huan River, trying to stop us."

"Don't overestimate your capabilities. We are just a battalion. We must break through quickly and capture Linzhou County faster than the Tada Battalion in Ping'an County!"

"Hayi!"

When the Yoshino Battalion advanced to Xigaoping Village, the scouts ahead brought news: a large number of booby traps had been laid on the road by the Eighth Route Army and they needed to be removed!

"Baga, have the engineers clear the mines quickly. The other troops should rest where they are and speed up the march later!"

Six engineers took their equipment and moved forward step by step to dismantle the booby traps one by one. But after a long time, they found that what they dismantled was just an iron box?

"Baga, why are they all fake? So cunning!"

"Be careful, don't take it lightly, the Eighth Route Army is very cunning!"

It took the Japanese an hour to clear the more than 100-meter-long booby trap field.

An angry Yoshino jumped off the truck and kicked the empty tin away.

"Baga, we've fallen into the Eighth Route Army's trap again. Speed ​​up the march!"

The three soldiers who stayed in Xigaoping Village munched on compressed biscuits and watched the Japanese soldiers being defeated. They couldn't help laughing and turned on the walkie-talkie.

"Reporting to the company commander, the Japs have spent an hour and are so angry that they are now on their way to Wangbei Zhangwu Village!"

"Received, retreat!"

Ten minutes later, the Yoshino Battalion encountered another minefield.

"Baga! Clear the mines quickly!"

Yoshino sent out six more engineers to dismantle the booby trap.

After dismantling the first few, he found that they were booby traps. He lost his patience and ran to report to Yoshino with the iron can.

"Captain Yoshino, we have just dismantled more than a dozen booby traps. They are all fake! From what I can judge, the Eighth Route Army is short of supplies and it is impossible for them to set up such a long minefield. It may be just to slow down our march!"

Yoshino thought so too, but for the lives of the imperial warriors, he did not dare to take the risk.

"Yes, but for safety's sake, please continue to remove the booby traps!"

"Hayi!"

The Yoshino Squadron spent an hour in Beizhangwu Village. They didn't dismantle a single booby trap, but they did collect hundreds of iron cans!

"Baga! I got fooled again!"

Yoshino jumped off the truck, drew his command knife, and split the tin in half.

"Kill them, full speed ahead!"

The remaining soldiers of the reconnaissance company watched the show and quickly returned to their base.

When Monk Wei saw that the soldiers had eaten and drunk their fill, he wiped his mouth.

"Brothers, now that you've had enough to eat and drink, cheer up! Whether or not we can have instant noodles depends on how many devils we kill today!"

At Wei Heshang's command, the soldiers all entered their positions, silently waiting for the Japanese to take the bait.

The Yoshino Battalion marched quickly to the foot of Jiulong Mountain and could faintly hear the sound of artillery coming from the direction of Ping'an.

"Baga, it looks like the Tada Battalion has already started the attack! Full speed ahead!"

The truck braked suddenly and was stopped by the scouts.

"Captain Yoshino, we have discovered another enemy booby trap ahead!"

"Baka! This must be the delaying policy of the Tubalu. I'll go and see for myself!"

Holding his command knife, Yoshino carefully approached the booby trap area, squatted down, gently cut the trip rope of the booby trap, then picked up the light iron can and threw it aside.

Yoshino opened several cans in succession and found that they were all empty tin cans. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up, and he looked confident.

"Look, these booby traps are randomly thrown on the roadside. Would the Eighth Route Army be so stupid? There is an old Chinese saying, delaying the enemy's attack! Everyone get in the car and march quickly!"

Yoshino was the first to board the truck and drove towards Linzhou at full speed.
