Bright Sword: Conquer the monk at the beginning and take down Zhou Weiguo

For two whole days, the entire special forces brigade was in a state of high alert.

Cao Zhuang and Wang Chengzhu, who received the news of the action in advance, were even more eager and couldn't wait for the battle to begin.

At noon on the third day, when everything was ready, the Japanese cavalry was almost reaching the elm forest. Qin Cang gave an order and all the soldiers of Xuyang Village set out.

The elm forest at this moment.

The path was lined with soldiers from the special forces team lying in ambush.

The reconnaissance company led by Duan Peng was scattered in various locations in the elm forest, closely observing the movements of the Japanese cavalry.

Especially the telescopes in their hands, which were the Taisho 3-year type six-fold telescopes that Qin Cang personally gave to Duan Peng before the action.

On the other hand, inside the forest, soldiers from the special operations battalion and the guard battalion were lying on both sides of the road.

The sniper team led by Zhao Gang occupied various commanding heights, whether it was the treetops or the small mounds in the distance, and the muzzles of the sniper rifles were pointed at the direction where the Japanese were coming from.

"Captain..."

At this moment, Duan Peng trotted over to Qin Cang's side and said solemnly, "We've spotted a Japanese cavalry unit east of the elm forest. We estimate they have nearly 350 horses and about 400 soldiers. In addition, there are six Japanese commanders, all walking in the front!"

Listening to Duan Peng's report, Qin Cang smiled slightly and said softly, "Okay! Let the brothers get ready and wait for the moment when I fire the gun!"

After saying this, Qin Cang ran to Zhao Gang quickly with an M1 semi-automatic rifle.

"Old Zhao, the Japs are coming soon."

"According to the reconnaissance company's intelligence, the devils are led by six officers. You will be in charge of the left side, and I will be in charge of the right side!"

Hearing this, Zhao Gang said nothing but nodded slightly.

Then he took a deep breath, lay quietly on the ground, and looked in the direction of the Japanese advance through the scope above the sniper rifle.

rustling.

Soon, a noisy sound of footsteps was heard in the elm forest.

I saw a group of Japanese soldiers moving slowly towards the Xiji stronghold as if they were on a picnic.

Little did they know that they had already stepped into a trap.

"Don't be anxious, wait until the devils get closer!"

"Everyone hold still and wait for the gun to fire!"

"Old Zhao, do you see those two Japanese colonels up ahead? Let's start with them!"

The moment Qin Cang finished speaking, all the soldiers stared at the Japanese like tigers without blinking.

On the other hand, at this moment, each of the thirty soldiers in the sniper team slowed down their breathing rate, put their fingers on the trigger, and waited for Qin Cang's gunshot to sound.

Half a minute later.

Boom!

Two gunshots rang out one after another, completely breaking the silence of the elm forest.

puff!

Two muffled sounds.

The two Japanese colonels walking in the front had no idea what was happening. They just felt a pain in their hearts, and then their vision was dyed red by blood.

The change came too suddenly.

Before the Japanese cavalry could react to what was happening, they saw the bodies of their two officers falling from their horses.

next second.

"Brothers, kill!"

"Don't let any devil go!"

"Grandson, your grandpa is here!"

Suddenly, a large number of Eighth Route Army soldiers appeared in the ditches on both sides of the road, with guns in their hands spewing flames crazily, and countless bullets swarmed towards the Japanese.

At the same time, the sniper team occupying the commanding heights also began a frantic hunt.

After every shot, a Japanese soldier would be hit in the vitals and die instantly.

"idiot!"

"Your Excellency, Lieutenant Colonel, we have been ambushed by the Eighth Route Army!"

"Quick! Order everyone to mount their horses and charge!"

"No matter what, we must break out of the encirclement of the Eighth Route Army!"

It has to be said that the Japanese commander was also smart. He knew very well that in this situation, staying in place for any second would mean giving heads to the special forces.

In other words, the best way for the Japanese at the moment is to launch a charge, break out of the ambush of the special forces brigade, and break out of the elm forest.

However, the Japs overlooked the strength of the special forces brigade.

Bullets kept flying past the Japanese.

Under the precise hunting of the sniper team, the Japanese soldiers on their horses fell off frequently.

"Qin Cang, the devils are trying to escape!"

Looking at the Japanese soldiers who were riding their horses and starting to charge, Zhao Gang suddenly yelled in anxiety.

Hearing this, Qin Cang's eyes flashed with coldness. He gritted his teeth and said in a cold voice: "Notify everyone, no matter whether Zhan Ma is dead or alive, these devils must be left to me!"

After this order came out, the soldiers finally stopped caring.

Aren't the Japs planning to use their horses' speed to launch a charge? Then we'll just attack the horses and see how you can escape!

For a moment, the neighing of horses and the Japanese roars filled with despair and fear resounded throughout the elm forest.

Even if some of the Japanese soldiers managed to break out of the ambush circle, before they could run away for long, an extremely thick hemp rope appeared in front of them without warning.

In an instant, a large number of horses were tripped one after another, and the Japanese soldiers on horseback performed a flying trick under the influence of inertia.

Just imagine how terrifyingly fast these trained war horses are when they are moving at full speed!

When falling, what kind of force can the inertia exert on the devils achieve?

Therefore, those Japanese soldiers who were thrown out, if they were lucky, would just fall heavily to the ground and break their arms and legs;

The Japanese soldiers who were less lucky were hit hard by the tree, spurting out blood and losing consciousness.

Of course, good luck only allowed the Japanese to survive for a little longer, and soon the special forces soldiers would come up with rifles.

In just half an hour, the elm forest returned to its former tranquility.

However, at this time, the air in the elm forest was filled with the pungent smell of blood and horse manure.

The ground that was originally covered with snow has now turned into a sea of ​​blood. Wherever you look, there is scarlet blood everywhere.

"Captain!"

A moment later, Wei Dayong ran quickly to Qin Cang.

"We've already counted them. All 420 of the Japanese cavalry are here. No one survived. Of the original 350 war horses, there are now less than 100 left."

Listening to Wei Dayong's report, Qin Cang nodded slightly, then said in a deep voice: "What are our casualties?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Dayong's expression darkened. "Reporting to the regiment commander, one soldier from the guard battalion was killed, and the rest only had minor injuries."

One man exchanged for the lives of 420 Japanese devils. No matter how you look at it, this was a battle that will go down in history.

But Qin Cang felt extremely heavy in his heart.
