The preparations made by the Fourth Army Regiment and the Second Theater before departure were not in vain. The reconnaissance company of the Fourth Army Regiment, as the vanguard of the entire regiment, was the first to arrive at the war zone after marching rapidly in the mountains for four days.
Through reconnaissance, it was found that the Japanese divisions that had been stationed in this area had evacuated to the newly built defense line 15 kilometers away. However, there were still small groups of Japanese troops operating in this area.
Of course, this is obviously not a deployment for the Four Lines Regiment who want to pass through. Otherwise, there would have to be at least one division of Japanese troops here or even more.
Given the stubbornness of the Japanese army, they would tolerate the departure of a serious enemy who had been tormenting them in North China for many years.
A platoon of the reconnaissance company, that is, the 3rd platoon with Shen Laoliu as the platoon leader and Cao Yingchong as the deputy platoon leader, was forced to fight with a Japanese infantry squadron in this area.
Originally, according to the military orders of the regiment, the top priority was for the whole regiment to secretly pass through the combat zone. It was not necessary to engage in battle with the Japanese army as a last resort, which would arouse the vigilance of the main force of the Japanese army.
But after the 3rd platoon heard the gunshots and rushed to observe, Shen Laoliu issued the combat order without hesitation.
The reason was that their comrades were actually attacked by a group of Japanese troops. How could they endure it? Let alone an infantry squadron of Japanese troops, even an infantry brigade would have to fight this battle.
There were only two soldiers of the Four Lines Regiment surrounded by a group of Japanese soldiers on a small hill. They didn't even have guns. They were really awesome and not human.
But it’s true that these two guys are not human beings.
That's Hammer and Guaiguai!
"Damn it, who can tell me how the two of them are here?" The moment Shen Laoliu saw the hammer running wildly among the woods through the telescope, constantly dodging bullets, he immediately cursed.
.
The attention of more than a dozen Japanese infantrymen was obviously attracted by this big dog that could run extremely fast and dodge bullets tactically.
They didn't see a pig lurking in the bushes, a wild boar!
Then Shen Laoliu and other 3rd platoon officers and soldiers who were cursing angrily saw a scene that stunned them.
While shooting with rifles, the Japanese army advanced up the hill in an attempt to reduce the range of movement of this big Chinese dog in strange clothing, and was attacked.
A large wild boar, also wearing a camouflage vest, was hiding quietly in the bushes and suddenly rushed out.
With just one "savage collision", the huge pig's head suddenly lifted up, knocking the nearest Japanese soldier who didn't react at all, toppling five or six meters away.
Not to mention that Guaiguai's two 15-centimeter-long fangs were hung with strips that looked like blood dripping from the intestines. Just say that the impact was at least five to six hundred kilograms. With such a small Japanese body,
For grid, at least 17 or 18 bones must be broken.
The Japanese soldiers were frightened by the wild boar that suddenly jumped out and attacked, and they aimed their guns at this ferocious giant creature.
It stands to reason that with the Japanese army's marksmanship, it would be no problem to hit a two-meter-long wild boar at such a close distance.
But Guaiguai's IQ is definitely the ceiling in the wild boar world. Not only did this guy choose the perfect time for a sneak attack, but his position was also awesome, right next to two Japanese infantry.
No matter how accurate the Japanese are with their marksmanship, they can't just shoot at their own people without caring about them!
How to avoid one's own people and then shoot at that invincible wild boar, at least the Japanese infantry stopped for more than two seconds.
Guaiguai is a soldier who has been on the battlefield for two years, and has also been on missions with the reconnaissance company for a long time. He is no longer the guy who only relies on brute force to kill his opponents.
It knew how powerful the long stick held by the two-legged beast was, and its thick pigskin could not stop the small gadgets sprayed from it. After killing one Japanese soldier, it used its inertia to rush towards another Japanese soldier.
The Japanese infantry was also ferocious enough. When he saw a wild boar of several hundred kilograms rushing toward him, he pulled the trigger and fired a shot but missed. Instead, he did not run away in panic. Instead, he held a long gun, squatted slightly with his legs, and raised his upper body in front of his body.
Lean forward and make a forward stabbing attack posture.
Judging from this performance alone, this Japanese army can be called elite!
However, he was also facing veterans who had been baptized by blood and fire.
Facing the bayonet stabbing at Guaiguai at high speed, Guaiguai miraculously made a very small change of direction in the high-speed charge. The blade of the bayonet cut across Guaiguai's shoulder blade, leaving a bloody wound, but Guaiguai's huge pig head
But it hit the belly of the fierce Japanese soldier.
Needless to say, the outcome was that the Japanese infantry was knocked six or seven meters away and fell into the bushes. As the angry Japanese gunshots rang out, Guaiguai jumped into the bushes through the position blocked by the Japanese infantry without stopping.
.
The first round of shooting by the Japanese army either hit the hard rock or caused the branches of the bushes to sway. Judging from the speed at which Guaiguai walked through the bushes, it was obvious that he was not injured at all.
At this time, the Japanese army may have finally realized that the dogs and pigs surrounded by them actually used tactics against them.
The big dog with golden fur attracted their attention in the light, but the big wild boar actually used the deep bushes to lurk in the dark and make a sneak attack on them.
No, a heavily armed infantry squad, without noticing, actually killed two of them. Even if they slaughtered the dogs and pigs later or even roasted them and ate them, they would still be beaten 1 at most.
A battle loss ratio of 1.
You can imagine the turbulent humiliation in the hearts of the Japanese infantrymen who had figured this out.
But perhaps the shy and angry Japanese infantry forgot one detail. The wild boar that relied on brute force to win was more cunning than they imagined.
A Japanese soldier who was running over from more than 10 meters away only glanced at his silent colleague in the grass and knew that his colleague, whose stomach was cut open by fangs more than ten centimeters long, was hopeless.
Not only were the organs exposed, but they were also covered in dust and dead leaves. The severe pain might have killed him, not to mention the terrible wound infection.
The angry Japanese infantry fired into the bushes where the wild boar had penetrated.
But he didn't notice that he was too close to the bush, which was more than one meter deep.
I saw the bushes surging like waves, and a huge black shadow jumped out of the bushes, biting the root of his thigh and dragging him desperately towards the bushes.
Guaiguai didn't run away as soon as it was hit as the Japanese infantrymen imagined. It actually escaped for a certain distance and then quietly returned, playing a trick of darkness under the light.
Then, waiting for the moment when the Japanese infantry lost vigilance due to anger, they launched another attack.
The bite force of an ordinary adult wild boar is about 300 kilograms, which is inferior to tigers and bears. But that is an ordinary wild boar, not Guaiguai.
The reconnaissance company once conducted a test on Guaguai. A wooden stick as thick as an adult's arm could be bitten into two pieces with one click. It was no weaker than an evolved hammer.
The long pig's mouth and its mouth full of sharp teeth are another important weapon for Guaiguai. Coupled with the exaggerated bite force, even the fragile thigh bones of humans can be broken in one bite without using all the strength.
The Japanese soldier who was dragged deep into the bushes howled loudly. By the time other Japanese soldiers rushed over and found him in the bushes, the Japanese infantry basically had no energy left to howl.
The roots of his descendants and more than half a kilogram of flesh on his thighs were bitten off, and the yellow-white arteries were exposed outside the body, and the spurting blood covered the branches and leaves of the bushes.
Not to mention the shock of the Japanese infantry, even the officers and soldiers of the reconnaissance company who were cleaning up the battlefield after the war shrank when they saw the corpse of a Japanese soldier who had lost two-thirds of its blood and turned pale.
Really, even the eunuchs in ancient China did not lose their balls so completely!
Perhaps as a male, you have an obsession with an organ like your balls that you cannot lose.
The battle between one pig and one dog basically ends here.
Shen Laoliu and his 3rd platoon, who were already ready for battle, opened fire.
The Japanese infantry were caught off guard, and seven or eight of them fell in succession, leaving only three people crawling in the forest, hiding behind bunkers and fighting hard.
But this is obviously of no use. Will the officers and soldiers of the reconnaissance company who have entered combat status tolerate them alive?
The rocks can block bullets, but they can block the direct-fire grenades equipped by the reconnaissance company!
Three consecutive rifle grenades were blasted over, and the debris from the rock explosion was enough to smash people into pieces.
Even though the Japanese infantry were hiding in a perfect position to avoid these fatal injuries, they were hit by the fierce firepower and did not dare to show their heads. They could only allow more than two dozen Chinese soldiers to rush into the hills to seize the perfect position.
, and then was killed by a grenade accurately thrown from more than 30 meters away.
In less than 3 minutes, Shen Laoliu led his men to kill all the Japanese troops in the area.
The reason why 30 soldiers had to occupy the commanding heights of the hill while killing this group of Japanese soldiers was because Shen Laoliu determined that there was definitely more than this small group of Japanese soldiers in this area.
His prediction was correct.
The sound of gunfire not only attracted his 3rd platoon, but a Japanese infantry squadron 800 meters away was also moving here.
After three years of fighting in North China, the Japanese army also summed up an experience. When the Chinese fought guerrilla warfare with them in the occupied areas, they were basically small-scale troops, with dozens or hundreds of people. If they could win, they would fight. If they couldn't, they would fight.
If you win, you will head into the mountains. It is rare to use battalion-level troops or above to fight them to the death.
Especially in plain areas, they will not use their main force to fight the empire decisively.
Therefore, in areas slightly closer to the main force, marching in small groups can ensure safety. In areas slightly further away, an infantry squadron is enough, at least until the main force arrives for reinforcements.
Of course, the Si Xing Regiment was an exception, so in the areas where the Si Xing Regiment was active, the Japanese army would either not leave their positions, or they would have to send out at least three or two infantry squadrons, numbering hundreds of people.
Obviously, the Japanese troops on the front line of Zhongtiao Mountain did not encounter the concerns of the Four Lines Regiment. An infantry squadron was already the largest reconnaissance on the periphery of the battlefield.
As for Shen Laoliu's 3rd platoon, although the 60 well-equipped officers and soldiers will not be afraid of this Japanese infantry squadron with at least more than 180 people, it will be difficult to ensure the secrecy of the entire regiment's march.
Seeing hundreds of khaki objects moving quickly towards this side through the telescope, Shen Laoliu's expression became serious.
Over there, Cao Yingchong glared fiercely at Hammer and Guaiguai, who had just come over with sullen eyebrows.
However, he did not have the heart to scold these two comrades who left the station privately to track the main force of the regiment.
There were actually several children hiding in the grass on the hill.
Through the simple description of a child who was almost ten years old and turned pale with fear, the cause of this unexpected battle was already very clear.
It must be that the Japanese troops searching this area discovered several Chinese children fishing in a mountain stream. Naturally, they wanted to catch them leading the way or something. The children naturally ran as hard as they knew the terrain, and then they were smelled and buried.
Lao Liu and others tracked down Hammer here and met Guaiguai.
These dogs and pigs were the most disgusting to see the Japanese wearing khaki military uniforms. If they could bear it, they naturally stood up and acted as the protector of several children and confronted the Japanese.
When the Japanese saw that this dog was still wearing a vest, it might be a Chinese military dog. Naturally, they would not give up their goal, but they just started doing it!
Even if you want to leave at this time, it is too late. The only way to avoid alerting the main force of the Japanese army is to kill these Japanese soldiers and make them completely disappear from this world, leaving no one left.
It only took Shen Laoliu a few seconds to make a decision: "Ying Chong, take two squads to ambush at the No. 2 commanding heights two miles away!"
"Okay!" Cao Yingchong reached out and picked up a child, and left the hill with two classes, a pig and a dog.
The arriving Japanese infantry squadron leader saw the corpses of his own officers and soldiers lying in the mountains through his binoculars, and immediately angrily threw two infantry squads into attacking the hills.
The two reconnaissance squads deployed on the hill launched a counterattack under the leadership of Shen Laoliu.
Although the number is far inferior to that of the Japanese army, the semi-automatic rifles and submachine guns equipped by the reconnaissance squad are far more powerful than the Japanese army, especially because they have many precision shooters.
In less than 20 minutes of fighting, more than half of the 4 grenade launchers and 6 light machine guns invested by the infantry squadron were shot dead by precision shooters. More than 60 of the hundreds of Japanese soldiers fell, and the living ones were also killed.
Deadly suppression in the area 100 meters in front of the skirmisher line.
After observing the battlefield for 20 minutes, the Japanese commander discovered that the number of Chinese soldiers fighting on the hill would never exceed 30, and they did not have any heavy weapons.
However, the sufficiently sophisticated individual weapons revealed that they were definitely the elite of the Chinese side. In less than half an hour of fighting, one of his infantry squadrons suffered nearly one-third casualties.
The commander of this army captain belonging to the 35th Division was actually not surprised at that moment. As long as a few members of this small elite Chinese force were captured alive, they would surely be able to obtain information about this large-scale movement on the Chinese side.
From the Front Army Headquarters to the First Army Headquarters at Zhongtiao Mountain to the Division and Regiment Headquarters, everyone is extremely concerned about this unusual movement on the Chinese side that lasted for more than a month.
Commander Okamura Koji even judged that China must have a purpose and was definitely not fighting just for war.
Compared with the important information, the loss of dozens of casualties is simply not worth mentioning.
Therefore, under the temptation of military exploits, this Japanese army captain became greedy that he should not have.
If he admits now that he has encountered a tough situation and turns around and leaves, perhaps his superiors can give him more praise after the war.
If the Fifth Division, which is 40 kilometers away from this area, encounters so many semi-automatic rifle attacks, it will definitely think of the old rival Si Xing Regiment. Besides them, there is another Chinese army equipped with so many semi-automatic rifles.
rifle?
It's a pity that the 35th Division was deployed to the front line of Zhongtiao Mountain less than a year after being transferred to North China. The opponents it faced were mainly the 4th and 5th Group Armies. Who would have thought that here they would encounter troops who were feared by many permanent divisions?
The Four Elements Group?
So, 25 minutes later, when the two reconnaissance squads of the 3rd Platoon took turns covering the retreat under the leadership of Shen Laoliu, the Japanese Army Captain ordered: "The Chinese's ammunition is almost exhausted, pursue!"
The more than 100 Japanese troops who still had sufficient combat effectiveness clung to the two reconnaissance squads like brown candy, chasing one and fleeing to a mile away.
It was an open land with only one hilltop no more than 20 meters high, which was also the highest point on the land.
The Japanese army, which had separated an infantry squad and planned to occupy the high ground and flank dozens of fleeing Chinese soldiers, encountered a head-on attack.
The two MG42 machine guns from the top roared and used fiery red whips to sweep down the Japanese soldiers in the open field to the ground.
Faced with this terrifying continuous firepower, the two Type 96 light machine guns possessed by the Japanese army were powerless to fight back.
Until this moment, the stunned Japanese army captain had not yet realized his opponent's plan, and screamed desperately for his subordinates to counterattack on the spot.
Then, the retreating Chinese soldiers came around from both wings and launched two more terrifying MG42 machine guns into the battle.
In addition to machine guns, there are also grenades and 60-guns!
When the last two light machine guns and grenade launchers of the Japanese army were blown to pieces together with the shooters, the Japanese army captain realized that the Chinese were trying to encircle and annihilate him.
But now it was too late to run away.
In such an open environment, the shooters of the reconnaissance company have a shooting range of 300 meters to 400 meters, which is enough to kill any prey that dares to reveal their bodies.
The Japanese infantry were tenacious enough. Even though their firepower was weaker than their opponents and the terrain was extremely unfavorable, they still resisted for a full hour before the battlefield was completely silent.
A total of 186 Japanese soldiers, including the Japanese army captain, were all killed.
The backward communication methods of the Japanese army were evident at this moment. It was not until two days later that the 35th Division regiment headquarters discovered that an infantry squadron had lost contact.
But no matter how they searched in this hilly area with a radius of more than 20 kilometers and was close to the mountains, even if they used military dogs, they could not find anything about this infantry squadron.
As the saying goes, 'It's easier to kill than to hide the body!', but the officers and soldiers of the reconnaissance company who have been trained on the cruel battlefield are experts at it.
Not only did they dig a 10-meter-deep pit to bury the Japanese corpses with the help of the engineer battalion that arrived, they even buried the blood-stained soil and shrubs together, and even picked up the bullet casings.
A heavy rain the next day washed away all traces of the battle. This "scout" consisting of 186 Japanese soldiers just disappeared on the battlefield. It was not until many years later that the Japanese were informed of the disappearance when it was declassified.
of 186 people went there.
In this way, the main force of the Four Lines Regiment, which arrived that night and marched through the area overnight, was not exposed.
As for the two gangsters who showed up to run away from the station in defiance of military orders and caught up with the reconnaissance company in one fell swoop, because the two guys often wandered together in the mountains and forests around the station, it was common for them not to come back for a week, and the station did not take them seriously at all.
The thing is, I didn't know that these two guys had actually escaped until the regimental headquarters issued an order.
If someone else had disobeyed military orders, they would have received at least thirty horse whips. However, Shen Laoliu looked at his skin being cut open by a bayonet and was bandaged. He also imitated the hammer, grinned like a pig and stuck out his tongue in a cute manner, and helped him plead with Tang Dao.
Tang Dao then gave the order: the whip can be waived, but the punishment cannot be waived.
The two beasts were punished not to eat meat for a week. Rice porridge and steamed buns were their staple food! Moreover, the officers and soldiers in the third platoon responsible for leading them had to eat meat in front of them.
Good guy, what poor Guaiguai sheds the most this week is not tears, but saliva!
If given a choice, I'm afraid Guaiguai would choose to be whipped instead of not being able to eat meat without hesitation.
It is said that wild boar is an omnivore, but it has nothing to eat. Who would eat bark and grass roots when there is meat to eat? Pigs are fat, not stupid!
