Chu Yunfei asked: "Captain Li, you only arranged 200 people in Hanjia Village. More than 100 Japanese soldiers passed by before. Let the Japanese from these two squadrons pass. The Japanese soldiers have close to 500 troops. What about your army?"
Can 200 people withstand the attack of these 500 Japanese?"
Chu Yunfei's worry is not unreasonable. The combat effectiveness of 500 Japanese soldiers is not weak, and they can confront the Chinese army that is five or six times more powerful.
However, Li Yunlong was confident that the First Company and the Lijian Squadron could block the Japanese offensive.
"Captain Chu, put your heart back in your stomach." Li Yunlong said in a relaxed tone, "Everything is as expected by Old Li."
Chu Yunfei said no more, picked up the telescope and continued to look towards Dawangou.
Although you can clearly see the eight roads hidden in the canyon from a high place with a telescope.
But it is impossible to see the Japs on the canyon road.
The Japanese truck quickly entered Dawangou, then shuttled between the curves of Dawangou. After a few minutes, it drove out of Dawangou and headed towards Hanjiacun.
…
at the same time.
After a rapid march in the middle of the night, the Masuko advance team had arrived at Chenjiayu according to the guidance of the radio signal from the detection aircraft.
The marching formation of the advancing team followed the standards of a special agent team, with one combat group serving as the vanguard, one group in the center, and one group at the rear.
Masuko Tadao followed the middle combat group.
While they were marching, the radio communication machine that had been silent and had been carried by the communications soldier beside Tadao Masuko suddenly made a sound.
The communications soldier quickly picked up the microphone and receiver to receive the orders from the special agent team.
After a while, the Japanese communications soldier put down the microphone and receiver, nodded to Masuko Tadao and said:
"Reporting to the captain, Yamamoto Daizu ordered that our audience cannot reach their destination on time. Our department will behead the leaders of the Eighth Route Army as originally planned."
Masuko Tadao's face changed slightly, and he asked coldly: "How far is it from this place to the Eighth Route Headquarters?"
"According to the detected signal, there are about 5 kilometers left!" said the communications soldier, "We can arrive in less than an hour!"
"Yoshi!" Masuko Tadao narrowed his eyes, "Keep going!"
"Hi!"
Although the Mashiko advance team wore the uniforms of the Eighth Route Army and encountered ordinary people and militiamen after entering the base area, but did not encounter the regular Eighth Route Army, this group of Japanese soldiers remained on high alert.
After continuing forward for about 1.3 kilometers, the communications troops of the forward group came in a hurry, and Tadao Masuko signaled the troops to stop advancing.
"Report to the captain, we found the Eighth Route Sentinels 700 meters ahead. They appear to be regular Eighth Route Army troops."
The Japanese scouts in Eighth Route Army uniforms spoke in Chinese, but in a very low voice.
"What, there is an Eighth Route Army regular army?"
Masuko Tadao was suddenly startled and couldn't help but frown slightly.
At that moment, Tadao Masuko found a gentle slope with higher terrain, lay down on the gentle slope, raised his telescope and looked ahead.
Through the telescope, I saw the Eighth Route Army sentries on the cliff ahead, and there were more than one. Judging from their appearance, they were indeed the main force of the Eighth Route Army.
The main force of the Eighth Route Army and the militia are easy to distinguish. The main force generally wears military uniforms, while the militia generally wears non-military uniforms.
The Eighth Route Army in front of us were wearing gray woolen coats, and it was easy to tell that they were the main force of the Eighth Route Army.
The fact that the main force of the Eighth Route Army is guarding here shows that there is more than just what is visible on the surface. There is also an unknown amount of things that cannot be seen on the cliff.
Looking at the map, the village ahead is called Chenjiayu, which is only a few kilometers away from the Eighth Route Army headquarters.
The fact that the Eighth Route Army sentries actually appeared here was really beyond Masuko Tadao's expectation.
Vice-captain Nishimura Anichi came up from behind and asked in a low voice: "Captain, what should we do now, attack by force?"
Tadao Masuko looked thoughtful, shook his head and said: "We must not attack by force. Once gunshots are fired here, and then go to the Eighth Route Headquarters, the fighter plane will be lost."
"The Eighth Route Army has at most one company in Chenjiayu." Nishimura An said, "If you move quickly enough, you can still get there before the head of the Eighth Route Headquarters escapes. The Eighth Route Headquarters must have a large number of documents and high-power radio equipment, and they will not be able to escape so quickly."
The members of the Mashiko Advance Team are all the best among the best, and they have been trained by the special agents.
The combat effectiveness is not as good as that of Yamamoto's special agent team, but it is better than most of the Japanese elite. If half of them are equipped with automatic firepower, the combat effectiveness is even stronger.
In Nishimura Yasuichi's view, defeating the Eighth Route Army with more than 100 people was a piece of cake for Masuko's advancing team.
Masuko Tadao didn't speak for a while, he held up the telescope to observe the terrain of Chenjiayu and its surroundings, and suddenly the telescope froze.
Then increase the magnification of the telescope and look to the left wing of Chenjiayu.
"Look, Mr. Nishimura, there is the left-wing cliff of Chenjiayu. It seems that there is no Eighth Route Sentinel to defend it."
"You lead the first combat group to contact the Eighth Route Army from the front, and I will lead the second and third combat groups to climb up the cliff on the left wing."
"If your first combat group is not exposed, we will meet behind Chenjiayu."
"If the first combat group is unfortunately exposed, then you can hold off the Eighth Route Army from the front, and I will lead the second and third combat groups straight to the Eighth Route Army headquarters."
"Hi!" Nishimura An said after a pause, "The captain is wise, I admire you!"
Masuko Tadao waved his hand, and then said: "Nishimura-kun, take action!"
The two of them retreated from the slope. Nishimura Anichi and the communications soldier of the first combat team headed towards the first combat team.
When Nishimura An'ichi and the communications troops arrived at the position of the first combat group, Nishimura An'ichi made a gesture.
About 30 Japanese soldiers wearing Eighth Route Army uniforms who were hiding nearby appeared immediately. Nishimura Anichi gave a few instructions in a low voice, and then led a group of Japanese soldiers to walk towards the front of Chenjiayu.
After the first combat group moved forward, Masuko Tadao called the leaders of the second and third combat groups to come forward.
"Second, the third combat team used hooks and ropes to go up from the left cliff of Chenjiayu. They moved quietly and no one wanted to shoot!"
"Don't stop even if the first combat team is exposed. Go straight to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army and behead the leaders of the Eighth Route Army!"
Masuko Tadao speaks Chinese.
"yes!"
The two Japanese team leaders shouted lowly.
Then the leader of the second group moved forward with his right hand, and the Japs of the second combat group circled from the flank towards the cliff on the flank of Chenjiayu.
The third combat group followed behind at a distance of 200 meters.
Masuko Tadao was very cunning, or very cautious. He waited for the third combat group to advance before following behind and heading towards the flank.
The Japanese's first combat group, led by Nishimura Anichi, walked towards the front of Chenjiayu.
The terrain here in Chenjiayu is very strange. The front and sides are covered with earth cliffs 20 to 30 meters high. There is only a small road in the front that can go up. The terrain is dangerous and easy to defend but difficult to attack.
"Comrade, comrade!"
Under the earth cliff, Nishimura An waved to say hello to the new group of soldiers on the cliff from a long distance away.
The soldier on the cliff asked: "Which army are you from and what are you doing here?"
Behind the soldiers, Xu Yonghai led the soldiers of the Ninth Company up and looked at Nishimura Anichi and others under the cliff.
"We are from the 28th Regiment of the New 10th Brigade. We are here to deliver information to the headquarters. Is the headquarters here?"
The Japanese were well prepared before coming. The 129th Division did have the New 10th Brigade. The New 10th Brigade was under the jurisdiction of the 28th, 29th, and 30th Regiments. Moreover, the New 10th Brigade was fighting guerrillas in the North Taihang area, and this is in the South Taihang area.
So it is possible that the New 10th Brigade will send troops over.
Xu Yonghai looked at Nishimura Anichi coldly. A friendly smile appeared on the devil's face, showing his big white teeth, as if he had really seen his relatives.
"My acting skills are good. If I didn't have any information, I might have been deceived by these devils." Xu Yonghai snorted coldly.
According to information provided by the regimental leader's business partner, a group of Japanese soldiers wearing Eighth Route Army uniforms were passing by Chenjiayu.
Moreover, the commanders and fighters of the three regiments of the New 10th Brigade had long ago put on gray woolen coats, but none of these soldiers were wearing gray woolen coats.
Who else could it be if he wasn't a devil?
Without the slightest hesitation, Xu Yonghai loudly ordered: "Fire!"
Behind Xu Yonghai, a large group of soldiers from the Ninth Company rushed up with guns in hand. Without any explanation, they aimed at the Japs under the cliff and pulled the triggers.
Da da da…
The gunshots rang out like fried beans.
At the same time as the gunfire rang out, the Japs reacted almost simultaneously. Even though the Japs reacted quickly, more than a dozen of them were knocked down by the dense bullets at once.
To be continued...
