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

When Hu Lian told Dai Anlan about the battle to defend the stone tablet, Dai Anlan frowned.

Now Ochiai Jingulang's situation is similar to that of Hu Lian in the Battle of the Stone Stele, so if he wants to retake the left wing position of Taohuayu, he will most likely resort to hand-to-hand combat, sneaking up in the dark, and using his suicide attacks and bayonets to repel the independent column.

But now the Independent Column has deployed guard troops on the east side of the left wing position of Taohuayu. Can the Japanese sneak in without being noticed?

At this time, at the bridgehead of the Yellow River Iron Bridge, Ochiai Jinjiurō gathered together the remnants of the 1st Infantry Regiment of the Chinese Garrison who were originally stationed at the left wing position of Taohuayu.

Facing these defeated soldiers numbering over a thousand, Ochiai Jinjiurō was filled with passion:

"Warriors of the Empire, the Independent Column defeated us with its advanced weapons and drove us out of the left wing position of Taohuayu. This is your shame!

Since the positions were lost in your hands, if you still have a bit of shame as an imperial soldier, take them back with your own hands!"

Colonel Magoji Yago, commander of the 1st Infantry Regiment of the Chinese Garrison, tied a sanitary napkin on his forehead and took off his shirt.

"Soldiers of the 1st Regiment, if you still have a bit of blood in you, follow me and take back the position with your own hands!"

Then Sun Er picked up the command knife and raised it up with a ferocious look on his face.

The Japanese soldiers seemed to be infected. They took off their clothes one after another, and some picked up their rifles, some wrapped grenades around their bodies, and some carried Type 4 jet cannons on their backs.

"Kill him!"

The Japanese soldiers did not rush towards the left wing position of Taohuayu as if they were seeking death. Instead, they followed the piers of the Yellow River Iron Bridge, went down to the Yellow River embankment, and then stuck to the bank of the Yellow River, climbing the ropes tied in advance, and advanced one by one in the dark.

About an hour later, the Japanese gathered under the bank of the Yellow River.

After Shi Hou, Captain Sun of the Second Regiment estimated that they had almost reached the rear of the left wing position of Taohuayu, so he quietly gave the order.

"Get ready immediately. Climb up the river ladder in ten minutes and quietly approach the position of the independent column. Give priority to attacking the enemy's armored targets!"

The corner of Yahou Sun Er's mouth twitched slightly and he laughed triumphantly. He seemed to see the scene where the independent column was caught off guard and was completely annihilated by their group of suicide squads using four-type jet cannons, explosive packs and bayonets.

Ten minutes later, Yago Sunji couldn't wait to give the order:

"Kill him!"

The short Japanese soldier climbed up the river bank like a kappa and quietly climbed up to the river bank.

Yago Sunji showed his kappa-like head and looked at the silent position, feeling ecstatic in his heart.

"It's just as I thought. The independent column focused its defense on the east side of the position, thinking that the Yellow River is a natural barrier? Pass the order down, crawl forward, don't alarm the enemy, engage in hand-to-hand combat with them, and let them taste the bayonet skills of the imperial warriors!"

Using bayonets in combat was also a helpless move for Yahou Sunji. After all, those advanced weapons were reserved for the 2nd and 3rd Regiments, and their defeated army was not qualified to use them!

So, after firing the "Four-Type Jet Cannon", they only fought hand-to-hand!

About a thousand Japanese soldiers all went ashore, then crawled forward on the soft ground.

After walking about a hundred meters, Sun Er saw two soldiers standing guard in front of him, so he nodded to the captain beside him.

The Japanese captain also understood what he meant, and he led four or five Japanese soldiers forward. When they were three or five meters away from the sentry, he suddenly jumped up and pounced on him.

But when the Japanese inserted the bayonet into the boy's belly, they found something wrong. It was a "scarecrow"!

"Baga, I've been fooled!"

Just as the Japanese captain was about to jog back to report, there was suddenly a bright light in front of him. Countless armored vehicles turned on their headlights, illuminating the position where Sun Er was lying.

Yago Sunji turned pale and murmured:

"Baga! We fell into a trap!"

Then, hundreds of general-purpose machine guns roared, and bullets poured down on the Japanese like a heavy rain.

Some timid Japanese soldiers ran to the bank of the Yellow River, thinking that jumping into the river might give them a chance of survival. However, they found that no matter how fast they ran, they could not outrun the bullets.

Thus, a one-sided massacre began!

Ten minutes later, the banks of the Yellow River were flooded with blood.

Soldiers of the 119th Armored Division's Armored Infantry Regiment began to clear the battlefield with their rifles, and would shoot again if they saw anyone gasping for breath.

Dai Anlan, who was in the Third Army headquarters, was anxiously waiting by the phone.

"Ding-ling-ling! Ding-ling-ling!"

Dai Anlan's hand left an afterimage and grabbed the receiver.

"I'm Dai Anlan. What's the situation? Tell me quickly!"

"Reporting to Commander Dai, the Japanese invaders have indeed launched a surprise attack from the bank of the Yellow River! There were about a thousand of them, and they were all wiped out by our troops!"

"Hahaha, great! Be alert!"

Dai Anlan laughed heartily, walked outside the headquarters, and looked at Hu Lian who was also smiling.

"Junru, no wonder they call you a fox, you guessed it right! I owe you a favor. If you hadn't reminded me, I'm afraid the Japanese would have succeeded in their sneak attack!"

Dai Anlan was telling the truth. The 119th Armored Division did not originally set up a defense line on the banks of the Yellow River. After all, the Yellow River was turbulent, and it was unlikely that the Japanese would break through from the river.

Even if the 119th Armored Division arranged scattered outposts along the Yellow River, they might still be caught by the Japanese.

Even if the sentry tried his best to warn them, it might be too late. After all, their tanks and armored vehicles were parked over there. If the Japanese Type 4 jettisoned their guns, wouldn't they lose hundreds of them?

"Haha, then you owe me a drink!"

"Okay, okay! Junru, how did you come up with this idea?"

"It's very simple. We just take the beatings and gain experience. If we can't win head-on, we can only use unconventional tactics. It's not like you guys are so big and powerful that you can't just resort to carpet bombing or saturation attacks at any time!"

"Hehe, if you come to the independent column, I'm afraid you'll demand fire support more fiercely than anyone else!"

"Ahahaha! But this time, you have made the greatest contribution in annihilating the thousand or so Japanese soldiers. If you hadn't directly ordered the soldiers to dig a trench in the east to prevent the Japanese soldiers from attacking through the secret passage, I wouldn't be sure that they would land on the bank of the Yellow River."

Indeed, if the commander of this battle was not Hu Lian but an ordinary Central Army officer, he would probably regard Hu Lian's guess as a fantasy and would not have spent all his energy digging a long trench!

Some were happy while others were sad. Ochiai Jinjiurō heard the dense gunfire and knew that this special force was in great danger...
