At this time of the Dragon Boat Festival, there were only more than 1,100 troops left.
But there are more than 2,300 Japs entrenched in Luoxia Valley.
There is a huge disparity in the strength of the two sides. Logically speaking, no one will fight in such a battle. After all, this gives people the feeling of throwing an egg against a stone.
However, Duanwu was determined that the Japs in Luoxia Valley were lax in their defenses, and this was a very good opportunity to take action.
What's more, the battle is not purely based on numerical superiority.
Of course, it is undeniable that the more people there are, the greater the advantage. But quantity does not determine everything.
For example, when a group of wolves enters a flock of sheep, even if the sheep are hundreds or thousands of times larger than the wolves, they are of no use at all.
What's more, this is a group of wolves armed to the teeth.
After capturing Xintai County and seizing the weapons and ammunition there, the strength of the Supervision Corps was greatly increased. Otherwise, how could they have defeated two Japanese infantry brigades so easily at a fork in the road?
So this time, Doihara did prepare a good gift for Dragon Boat Festival, which brought the Dragon Boat Festival supervision team back to life.
At about 4:50 in the morning, Duanwu had already led his people to Luoxia Valley. At this time, above the Luoxia Valley, little devils were lying in a mess, and even the sentry's face was full of fatigue.
They were yawning and looking listless while standing guard.
Obviously at this time, no one among the little Japanese would have imagined that their enemy did not quickly break through to the third line of defense, but instead came to bring bad luck to them.
Duan Wu waved his hand gently, leading a battalion of several skilled scouts to quietly approach the Japanese sentry.
There were more sentries at the beginning, but Dragon Boat Festival did not let the soldiers take action. Although they were scouts of the first battalion, they were indeed not as good as those of the special agent battalion. If they were not quick enough to make any noise, then this surprise attack would probably be difficult.
success.
So Duanwu personally took action and killed seven or eight Japs' sentries before letting the scouts from the first battalion take action together to clear the way for the large army to attack.
At this time, on the top of the mountain, the little Japanese lying in various directions were very close. At this time, Zhu Shengzhong could not hold back the big knife in his hand.
On the east side of the cliff, there were no less than a thousand little devils, all lying there sleeping.
Although there were dozens of people who were awake and running to the edge of the cliff to get to the bottom of the cliff, most of the Japanese were fast asleep.
Someone once did a test and found that a person sleeps most soundly between four and six in the morning.
So the same goes for the little devils at this time. If they hadn't been woken up by peeing, I'm afraid they would still be sleeping at this time.
Zhu Shengzhong couldn't hold it any longer, but Duanwu stopped him because there were also Japs on the other side of the cliff. And the number of Japs was no less than that on the east side.
Therefore, once action is taken, the Japanese on the other side of the cliff will be awakened and immediately support the Japanese who are attacked on the east side.
Dragon Boat Festival must find a way to deal with the Japs on the other side of the cliff. The best way is to use artillery fire to suppress the Japs on the other side of the cliff. There are also many Japs on the other side of the cliff. After this wave of artillery attacks, there will definitely be a lot of Japs killed.
.
How to fight next depends on how the little devils react. But the devils on the east side of the cliff don't have this chance.
Dragon Boat Festival ordered the sword team to go in front and the machine gun team to follow.
Those with good marksmanship established several sniper positions along the forest. While the machine gun team opened fire, the artillerymen quickly came out of the forest to carry out carpet bombardment on the opposite side of the cliff.
When everything was ready, Duanwu took the lead and rushed out with the sword team.
The sleeping Japs were very close at hand, and with every movement of their hands, the heads of the little Japs were chopped off with the big sword.
A kid who was going to the convenience store discovered this scene, but at this time, dozens of the kid's heads were gone.
At this moment, some Japanese soldiers were frightened and others were shouting that the enemy was attacking.
But at this moment, hundreds of machine guns began to shoot at the Japanese soldiers who were rising and not rising.
Many of those little devils were pierced by bullets one after another before they even opened their eyes, and were killed on the spot.
At this time, it was really like a wolf entering a flock of sheep. More than a thousand little devils had no power to fight back.
Just imagine, when a group of people are still sleeping, even if someone shouts danger, how many of them can suddenly wake up from their sleep?
For example, some people wake up suddenly from a deep sleep and find that their body suddenly cannot move.
Some people say that this is ghost sleeping, but in fact, the scientific explanation is that you are indeed awake, but the functions of various parts of your body are still not working and are not under the command of the brain.
So at this time, there were not many Japs who could react, and even if they got up, they would be shot dead on the spot by machine gunners in the next second.
The dozens of sober Japanese soldiers were even more unlucky. When they sounded the warning, they were already beaten into pieces by machine guns.
At the same time, the Japanese on the other side of the cliff heard the gunshots and ran back to get their guns. But at this moment, the artillerymen had already begun to fire shells at them.
More and more little Japanese were awakened on the west side of the cliff by the explosion of artillery shells. But at this time, they were all covered by the artillery fire of the 1st Battalion and the 1st Special Battalion.
Although the artillery power of the two battalions was far inferior to that of the artillery battalion, they were still able to suppress the Japanese on the west side of the cliff in a short period of time.
But at this moment, another Japanese team rushed up from the bottom of the cliff. When they came up, they fired at several machine gunners.
The machine gunner couldn't dodge and was hit by the Japs. The two machine gunners fell to the ground one after another and vomited blood.
They were still pulling the trigger at the moment they fell, killing three little Japs. But the little Japs still rushed up.
But just when they were about to target the other machine gunners and kill them, a series of gunshots were heard, and the Japanese who rushed up the cliff fell to the ground one after another.
They are sharpshooters hiding in the woods. They keep an eye on the entire battlefield. If they find a new enemy, they will immediately shoot and kill them.
At the same time, the machine gunners also reacted and launched suppressive fire at the Japs emerging from the cliff.
The Japanese at the bottom of the cliff were beaten down several times when they tried to break through, and more than thirty people were killed or injured.
Seeing this, Duanwu smiled and said: "Kill all the Japs on the east side for me. The machine gunners will build a machine gun position along the cliff on the east side. The artillery will cover me until the machine gun position is completed. Let's compare our firepower with the Japs on the west cliff.
Let’s see if they have more people or we have more bullets!”
"Yes, Tuanzuo!"
Zhu Shengzhong accepted the order and immediately went to deliver the order, while Duanwu smiled and carried a bag of grenades and quietly reached for the entrance to the cliff leading to the top of the cliff.
The little devils under the cliff were all there, and Dragon Boat Festival prepared a big gift package for them.
The little Japs pulled out the safety pins on all the grenades, then knocked them on the cliff with a cloth bag, and then threw them all to the little Japs.
The distance between the Dragon Boat Festival and the entrance above the cliff was more than forty meters, but this throw, weighing more than ten kilograms, was thrown over by him like this.
When the little devils saw a cloth bag flying towards them, they felt something bad, because the cloth bag scattered in mid-air, and grenades appeared in their field of vision one after another.
"Grenade, get down!"
The Japanese officer shouted, but what's the use of lying down at this time? The grenade exploded in the head, and the broken shrapnel flew everywhere!
