Vanguards of the War of Resistance! Let's travel back in time together, classmates!

070 Reversal

At this time, the defense of the north gate of Songjiazhai was in dire straits due to the fierce offensive of the Japanese. After all, more than 300 Japanese soldiers could not defeat the wall defended by 100 men. Even if it meant attrition, Songjiazhai could not afford to lose lives.

The remaining 60 men in the company had suffered more than half casualties. The heavy machine gun company had replaced several gunners. There was no other way but to have the recruits and the logistics troops take their place. Even the women's special forces were armed and ready to provide support at any time.

The Japanese company commander, Sasaki, stood on a boulder about 1 kilometer from the stockade wall, his face contorted with rage. He wore his hat askew and leaned on his sword. Someone was serving him tea.

Sasaki, having put down his binoculars, sneered, "Hmph... Song Family Village... Shangguan Yun... Let's see who can save you this time... In less than an hour, my great island nation's locust army will occupy this mountain village, and then everything you have will be reduced to nothing, haha... Attack... Kill the chicken, come on..."

Amidst Sasaki's hysterical roar, the Japanese launched another full-scale attack.

"Reporting to Simas... Company Commander... Telegram from the Wulongkou Military Police..."

"Nani... Nian..."

A communications soldier took out a newly received telegram and read it aloud:

"Urgent telegram from Wulongkou: One hour ago, Wulongkou was attacked by an unknown force. The enemy is numerous and well-equipped. They have already captured several key locations and burned down a large number of buildings. They are currently launching a fierce attack on the military police platoon. Their momentum is overwhelming... Please provide support as appropriate, platoon leader..."

"Baka...where did this army come from? Wasn't the entire area within a hundred miles cleared out? Um...Wang-san, you...tell me...what's going on..."

Sasaki flew into a rage, smashing the teapot and teacups on the ground, and turned to ask.

"Um... well, Captain, apart from Daheishan and Songjiazhai, there aren't any other large-scale bandit groups around here... I can't guess which group they are..."

"What...that means this group is very likely a bandit group from Daheishan...how strong are these bandits...?" Sasaki asked.

Wang Yan's eyes darted around, and then he said seriously, "Squad Leader, if it really is the team from Daheishan, then we're in trouble."

According to our previous intelligence, Daheishan has recently received support from an unknown force, and the group has grown to more than 200 people with very sophisticated weapons and equipment.

If they take advantage of the situation to cause trouble, the situation will definitely be critical. I urge the squadron leader to make arrangements as soon as possible.

"Baka... I see... Order the troops to halt the attack, retreat one kilometer, rest and await further orders, and send a telegram to Wulongkou to inquire about the battle situation..." Enraged, Sasaki reluctantly issued the ceasefire order...

At this time, the battle was still raging at the south gate of Songjiazhai. The battlefield was fierce and filled with smoke. With the assistance of the artillery platoon, the Japanese attack by Nakamura was basically ineffective.

However, in order to coordinate with the battle in the north, the Japanese soldiers still refused to give up and desperately advanced under the cover of artillery fire.

On the command platform, Liu Ransong, holding binoculars, turned and smiled slightly at Tang Jian, the new recruit company commander, Gao Wei, the artillery platoon leader, and Shen Wuzhou, among others.

"Heh...it seems the Japanese have gone berserk; they've committed all their forces to the attack. It's time for us to execute the commander's strategy. Platoon Leader Gao, how's the artillery preparation going...?"

"No problem, we're ready to deliver a fatal blow to the Japanese at any time," Gao Wei nodded and smiled, then looked at Shen Wuzhou, who was fiddling with a self-propelled howitzer.

"Well, there should still be more than 100 men in Company Commander Tang's new recruit company who haven't been put into battle yet. The commander has prepared a batch of new weapons for us, and I just sent someone to the cave to transport them over."

Equip all your men and, according to the commander's plan, send them down the cliff path on the east side, bypass the mountain stream, and rush straight at the Japanese from the direction of Nan Dian. An hour later, use the sound of howitzers as a signal to encircle the Japanese general Nakamura Taro. You understand...

After speaking, he smiled and looked at Tang Jian and the others. The group exchanged glances, and a sinister smile appeared on their lips!

"Hmph...you little devils...just wait for your feast...haha..."

The distance between Longwang Temple and Songjiazhai and Taipingzhuang is about the same, about 10 kilometers. Half an hour ago, Shangguan Yun had already sent out scouts.

An hour later, the group hurried along and approached the valley fork in the road at the northeast corner of Songjia Village. There were a few Japanese sentries there, but after being dealt with by a few scouts, Shangguan Yun's men could hear sporadic gunfire coming from the direction of the north gate.

“Strange, the Japanese attack seems to have slowed down. According to the information I just gathered, there are quite a few Japanese soldiers. There are probably more than 400 people involved in the attack. If we exclude the 100 or so from the Dragon King Temple, there should be more than 300 people here. Could it be that the battle is over and the stronghold has been breached…” Liu Yong looked at Shangguan Yun with a worried expression.

In fact, Shangguan Yun had already scanned the area with radar. Although the enemy was powerful, Songjia Village had very strong firepower and could not be breached in a short time, so he was not in a hurry.

"No, it must be that the enemy has encountered some problem and has paused their attack. Everyone, approach stealthily. We're about 2 kilometers away. Don't expose yourselves. Try to get close enough to outflank the enemy..."

“Yes…” the group replied.

At this moment, Sasaki had just received the latest battle report from the direction of Wulongkou, and he was furious. Although the enemy was not many, they had surrounded the military police headquarters and set fire to the town. A lot of supplies had been set on fire by these bandits, which was the most intolerable thing for Sasaki.

Enraged, Sasaki glanced at the mountain stronghold and roared with resentment, "Baka yarou... All troops assemble!"

Stop the attack, all of you return to Wulongkou, quickly...

Five minutes later, with the Japanese soldiers in front and the Japanese soldiers behind, Sasaki got on his three-wheeled motorcycle, brandished his sword, and...

"open circuit..."

The troops slowly drove down the hillside, and after turning west, they were about to retreat back to Wulongkou.

Suddenly, "pitter-patter... boom boom... rattling rattling..."

Gunshots rang out from the mountain road on the east side, and a team of more than a hundred people sped towards them under the cover of heavy firepower. The front was clearly only a few hundred meters away.

Sasaki's eyes narrowed. "Baka... which team is this...?"

Wang Yan shouted, "Squad Leader, these are all men from Song Family Village. Look at their attire; the pale-faced one in front is Shangguan Yun. Let's retreat quickly..."

"Baka... retreat quickly... rat-a-tat-tat..."

The motorcycle sped away, leaving the Japanese soldiers and their collaborators with no will to fight. They followed behind, firing sporadically as they fled.
