Spy Wars: I can get rewards by being a bully!

At this time, the 26th Division headquarters in Dingxian was in complete chaos. The fate of Mizukawa Yoshifu was unknown. A violent explosion occurred outside, and the Eighth Route Army was still trying to break out in the Tanghe area!

The situation was beyond complicated; a colonel temporarily took command and, barely managing to contain his panic, issued three orders.

"Send people, send people to check the explosion site and find out what happened!"

"Don't send reinforcements to Tanghe for now. There might be Eighth Route Army troops around us. Be on full alert immediately to prevent the enemy from launching a surprise attack on the train station!"

"Call Shimen to report the situation and request backup! Request backup!"

The first two orders were basically nonsense. Send someone to check the explosion site? Who should be sent?

It was a Japanese company commander who volunteered to lead a search along the railway line, a stretch of dozens of kilometers. So let's search it out. We estimate we can finish by dawn.

As for full alert, the two battalions left behind by the 26th Division have already taken their positions in their respective garrison areas. They have neither received orders to launch an attack nor seen any Eighth Route Army troops, so they can only stare at each other and wait idly.

At this time, two other brigades were on their way to Tanghe and had not received any orders from headquarters. They heard a huge explosion behind them but did not know what had happened. They were filled with anxiety and could only grit their teeth and keep going, stopping from time to time to observe, fearing that the Eighth Route Army might suddenly appear from behind them.

When the phone is called to Shimen, the caller naturally describes the situation as extremely serious.

"Report! Report! The enemy has attacked the command post. Commander Mizukawa is wounded and his fate is unknown. A massive explosion has occurred along the railway line!"

Okamura was completely dumbfounded!

what is happening!

Wasn't it said that the main force of the Eighth Route Army was in Tanghe?

Even with a forced march, it would take two hours to get from Tanghe to the command post in Dingxian. Could the Eighth Route Army fly?

Moreover, Dingxian was entirely composed of soldiers from the 26th Division. How did they manage to attack Mizukawa Yoshio, and how did Mizukawa Yoshio lead the charge so bravely?

At this point, Okamura became anxious. He had made various contingency plans and considered many possibilities, but he never expected that something would happen to Mizukawa Yoshio.

What's the point of playing now? The commander is dead, how are we supposed to stop the Eighth Route Army from breaking out?

Okamura quickly issued the order.

"Do not send any more troops to Tanghe! The main force of the Eighth Route Army has likely split up and broken through. Let the two battalions that are about to arrive in Tanghe launch an attack to probe the strength of the Eighth Route Army!"

"Leave one battalion to garrison Xinle, and move the rest to Dingxian to strengthen the defenses along the railway line. Report immediately if you spot the main force of the Eighth Route Army!"

At the same time, he sent someone to find Lin Ze and inquire about the situation around Shimen.

The Eighth Route Army is known for its elusive nature. If they were truly prepared to fight to the death and launch a series of raids to get around to Shimen, things would get quite interesting.

Fortunately, Lin Ze said firmly, "Please rest assured, General, there is no suspicious situation found around Shimen. Our military police have already spread out as far as 30 kilometers away. Any movement in the surrounding area is under our control!"

Okamura breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the exhausted Lin Ze, and felt moved.

If everyone were as reliable as Lin Jun, how could they not succeed in their careers!

If only Lin Jun could command an army!

Now was not the time to think about these things. He told Lin Ze to go ahead and get busy, while he stayed in his office, dealing with the constant stream of information coming in from Ding County.

At 10 o'clock, the reinforcements of the 26th Division arrived at Tanghe.

After a brief exchange with the lieutenant who had escaped from the garrison, the Japanese battalion commander decided to launch a proactive attack on the Eighth Route Army as ordered by his superiors, to assess the situation.

Behind the garrison barracks, in the past three hours, the soldiers have used the collapsed mud bricks to build a simple fortification that intersects with the bunker built by the Japanese.

Several soldiers without night blindness stood on the earthen slope, gazing into the distance.

"The devils are coming!"

"The devils are coming!"

A battalion of Japanese soldiers arrived at a location about 300 meters west of the barracks and slowly came to a stop.

Five or six minutes later, the vanguard of the Japanese troops began to charge in skirmish lines, and then the Japanese artillery fire came crashing down!

"Boom! Boom!"

"Get down! Watch out for shells!"

Inside the bunker, Xiao Shuanzi was a little scared, but Uncle Luo comforted him, "Don't be afraid of the cannons. As long as there are bunkers and half-meter-wide tunnels, the cannons won't kill you. The cannons will only hit a small area, but the guns will sweep up a whole area. The real weapon is the machine gun!"

Xiao Shuanzi looked at Uncle Luo's arm.

Uncle Luo said helplessly, "I was just really unlucky. A shell landed right in my foxhole. I jumped out immediately, but my right arm was still braced against the ground near the pit, and that's how it was blown to pieces."

Xiao Shuanzi whispered, "I'm not afraid of the cannons, I'm afraid of the sound, boom boom boom, like thunder."

Chen Youdi lay prone beside the bunker, constantly trying to take aim.

Uncle Luo asked, "Youdi, are you blindfolded?"

Night blindness is also known as nymphomania.

Chen Youdi proudly declared, "No! My eyesight is excellent! Once the artillery fire stops, the Japanese will come up, right?"

Uncle Luo nodded. "Don't just be brave. Only by staying alive can you kill more Japanese soldiers. As soon as you hear the whooshing sound of bullets, immediately pull your head back. Got it?"

"remember!"

Sure enough, after a barrage of shells, the Japanese had already reached a position of 200 meters.

Zhang Kedi decisively ordered, "Closer! Closer!"

If weapons and ammunition are scarce, they will generally fire from a greater distance.

Because of insufficient firepower, if the Japanese were to sneak up, they could very well break into our position.

This time they brought a lot of weapons and ammunition, and even Chen Youdi was given twenty bullets, so they had to keep the enemy as close as possible so that they could use concentrated firepower to inflict greater casualties on the enemy.

When they reached about 150 meters, Zhang Kedi fired his gun!

"Strike! Strike hard!"

The two light machine guns opened fire simultaneously, and the machine gunners became more and more excited as they fired!

The battalion commander said he could use the bullets as he pleased; the higher-ups sent four large boxes at once!

He has never fought such a rich war before!

Perhaps the machine gun's indiscriminate firing caused the Japanese to misjudge the situation. The Japanese battalion commander thought to himself, "This really is the main force of the Eighth Route Army, or at least a part of it!"

Otherwise, with the strength of those poor, peasant-like people, would they dare to fire so recklessly, regardless of the number of bullets?

"Kill the chickens! Charge to the front!"

Facing the bullets, the Japanese soldiers crouched low and charged forward swiftly!

Uncle Luo, with his two "apprentices," fired! Fired! Fired!

Soon, the Japanese soldiers discovered that the bullets coming from this direction were incredibly accurate, so they began to suppress the enemy's bunkers with fire.

Chen Youdi wanted to fire back, but Uncle Luo pulled him down.

Xiao Shuanzi had already shrunk behind the sandbag, his body still trembling slightly.

"The bullet... grazed my ear!"

Chen Youdi put his arm around him and said, "Don't be afraid! This just means you're lucky. Otherwise, your head would have been smashed open long ago!"

Xiao Shuanzi's mouth was wide open, it was hard to tell whether he was laughing or crying.
