At 2:20 in the afternoon, the sun had risen high, the scorching sun was in the sky, and Yang Chenghu, who was lying on the ground, was very irritable. Seeing the figure of the head of the regiment in the glasses gradually disappearing on the opposite hillside, Yang Chenghu's hanging heart finally fell to the ground.

Feeling the slight vibration coming from the ground, Yang Chenghu estimated that the devil's convoy was about to arrive. When Commander Lei suddenly appeared beside him just now, Yang Chenghu's whole body was blinded, and he thought that something had happened to the mission.

Just as Yang Chenghu opened his mouth to ask, Commander Lei picked up a photo and threw it directly into Yang Chenghu's arms, and then immediately asked all the platoon commanders of the spy company to gather here for a meeting.

After everyone arrived, the head of the regiment, Lei Wancheng, let everyone take a look at the people in the photo, and then bluntly stated the purpose of the trip.

After listening to the regiment commander's explanation, the officers of the special service company couldn't help but change their faces, this task seems simple, but it is not easy to carry out. As soon as the battle starts, it is a life-and-death contest. When bullets fly on the skin of the brain and grenades are carried in the crotch of the pants, who can guarantee that they can remember what they can and can't hit. What's more, the opponent is a devil of a squadron, and if he doesn't kill him, if he gives the other party a chance to breathe, he will have to pay a double price.

However, in the face of the strict orders of the division headquarters, although Yang Chenghu and the others complained, they had to grit their teeth and carry out the order.

After conveying the order, Regiment Commander Lei didn't care that the Japanese army was already close at hand, so he hurriedly took a soldier and walked down the mountain, heading straight for the position of the first battalion opposite.

……

Ten minutes later, with a piercing roar, a Japanese convoy consisting of 21 military vehicles finally appeared in Yang Chenghu's field of vision in the billowing dust.

"Convey it, all ready for battle! Stay hidden, wait for my order before firing! ”

With a low roar, Yang Chenghu picked up a formal rifle that had followed him for many years, skillfully opened the safe, and adjusted the ruler to a position of 100 meters.

"Everyone, calm down, don't panic! ……”

As the Japanese convoy approached, Yang Chenghu's brows suddenly twisted.

It turned out that at the front of the Japanese convoy with plaster flags, a strange military vehicle with the Japanese Rising Sun Flag painted on its body appeared. In the equipment of the Japanese army, the vehicles painted with such flags are special vehicles. Definitely not your average transport truck.

Sure enough, although the distance was very far, Yang Chenghu could see at a glance that this was a six-wheeled Japanese iron car!

When he was recuperating from his injuries in the rear, Yang Chenghu attended a crash course for officers for a period of time. He learned the difference between the types of armored vehicles of the Japanese army from an instructor at the time.

After a closer look with his glasses, he immediately recognized the model of this combat vehicle commonly used by the Japanese army - the Japanese army's Type 91 armored car.

Yang Chenghu couldn't remember the specific performance parameters of this kind of car, but he knew that this kind of iron car could hold 8 devil soldiers and had three light machine guns on it. They are one on the right side of the cab in the front body, and one in the front and one in the front and one in the raised machine gun tower above the body!

This thing is not afraid of rifle bullets at all, and ordinary grenades are not much of a threat to him. Unless it is at close range, the steel core bullets of the heavy machine gun can penetrate the weak points of this iron car.

Seeing that the Japanese army had iron cars, the wheezing sound of the soldiers beside Yang Chenghu couldn't help but become heavy. The anti-armor capability of the Chinese army is too weak, and the Japanese army's iron cars are weapons of mass destruction everywhere in the national army, let alone the Eighth Route Army, which has even worse weapons. Behind enemy lines, the prestige of the Japanese armored vehicles was not small, and even the main forces of the Eighth Route Army did not dare to attack the Japanese armored vehicles easily.

Seeing that the iron car with the head was about to drive into the minefield, Yang Chenghu's heartbeat couldn't help but accelerate. Although he knew that the power of the mines in the border area was average, Yang Chenghu still hoped that the mines could paralyze the iron truck, so that his troops could greatly reduce casualties.

Thundered......

The Type 91 armored car spewed black smoke and squeaked across the bare sandy floor. A devil sat on a machine gun tower, looking at the surrounding mountains and rivers arrogantly with half of his body exposed.

Behind the armored body, two trucks full of ghost soldiers followed, followed by two trucks full of puppet soldiers. At the back of the line, there were also three trucks full of Japanese puppet troops. The rest were thirteen trucks full of cargo and a field ambulance, protected in the middle.

Seeing that the Japanese army was about to enter the minefield, Yang Chenghu picked up his rifle and aimed at the devil soldier who was leaking half of his body from the machine gun tower of the armored vehicle.

The moment out of the corner of his eye saw the marker before the armored car drove into the minefield, Yang Chenghu decisively pulled the trigger.

Bang!

A crisp gunshot rang out in the mountains, and the devil soldiers on the machine gun tower went limp, slumped on the armored car.

Boom! Boom ......!

Almost at the same time, with two loud bangs in a row, the entire body of the Type 91 armored car was jumped twice in a row under the action of the explosion of the mine, and then it was shrouded in a large puff of smoke and dust, and the sound of the engine also stopped abruptly.

"Hit ......!"

Da da da ......, bang bang ......!

In an instant, a dense burst of gunfire rang out through the valley. The five light machine guns of the special service company and several machine guns of the opposite battalion formed a dense network of fire, knocking down the Japanese puppet army on the truck who had no time to jump in panic. In the face of the ambush, although the Japanese suffered heavy casualties for a while, they still howled and jumped out of the military vehicle, and then launched a counterattack with their backs against the military vehicle as a team.

The Devil Heavy is smarter to duck under the carbine, dodging bullets and shooting at the same time.

Compared with the Japanese army, those puppet soldiers were far behind, after being knocked over by a dense number of bullets, most of the puppet soldiers jumped out of the car and lay directly on the ground and screamed, and even raised their guns to fight without aiming.

The vanguard regiment did not have much ammunition, and the light machine guns fired only two long bursts before starting short bursts. Seeing that the soldiers under his command have all finished firing five rounds with one magazine, the veteran has even finished firing two magazines. Seeing that the time was almost up, Yang Chenghu put his bayonet on the muzzle, grabbed a grenade beside him and shouted:

"Brothers, rush up with me and throw grenades! Come on......! ”

"Rush, ......!"

For a time, more than 100 soldiers of the special service company roared in unison, picked up their rifles and machine guns, and rushed down the mountain like fierce tigers.

Boom ......!

On the forward position less than 80 meters from the base road, veterans of dozens of special companies rushed to the front, and they rushed down the hill with a shout, and threw the grenades in their hands desperately down the mountain.

Due to the distance, most of the grenades fell twenty meters away from the Devil Army vehicle. Although it failed to kill and injure a few devils, the smoke screen from the explosion successfully disturbed the sight of the Japanese army.

According to the prior plan, the special service company and the fourth and sixth companies of the recruits of the first battalion were responsible for flanking the Japanese puppet army in front of the devil's convoy. The 5th and 2nd companies of the 1st Battalion were responsible for besieging the troops behind the Japanese Palace.

Seeing a large area of dirt rushing down the mountain, the Japanese soldiers on the road immediately screamed in shock. In front of the convoy were two Japanese squads of more than 100 devil soldiers and a company of puppet soldiers, although they were killed and wounded by a surprise attack at the beginning, but because the vanguard regiment did not have many bullets, the Japanese army quickly began a fierce counterattack after surviving the first wave of bullets.

Five or six crooked machine guns never stopped, and they kept hitting without stopping.

However, because Yang Chenghu led his people to quickly rush down from the mountain and fired a burst of grenades, the dense smoke and dust made the Japanese counterattack ineffective, and the Eighth Route Army that rushed down the mountain could not be suppressed, and the two sides were about to fall into a melee.

However, at this moment, the door of the Japanese Type 91 armored car that had been parked on the minefield was suddenly opened, and a Japanese officer wearing a captain's uniform staggered out of the car, wiped the blood on his face, and raised his command knife and shouted loudly.

"Machine gun cover! Fight back with your back to an armored vehicle! ”

Boom, ......, the armored car, which had been silent, suddenly started again. A few times poured out of the crater, creaking and reversing out of the minefield.

The front wheels of the Japanese tin car seemed to be damaged, and it stopped after a difficult reversal of the minefield.

Sudden ...... Da-da-da-da!

With the movement of the Japanese armored car, the three machine guns on the armored car suddenly erupted tongues of fire, and the armored car was parked diagonally on the road, so the front two machine guns fired at the hillside on the east side.

For a while, a dense rain of bullets immediately enveloped the soldiers of the special service company who had just broken out of the smoke screen, and more than a dozen soldiers were killed on the spot, and the rest were also suppressed more than 20 meters away from the road.

At this time, Yang Chenghu followed behind the first and second rows of soldiers who charged in the first wave. Seeing that the originally paralyzed armored car suddenly started, Yang Chenghu knew that something was going to happen. Sure enough, before the fighters could rush into the ranks of the Japanese troops, the machine guns on the armored vehicles swept over, and the charging fighters were immediately knocked over.

"Yards! Machine gun cover, throw me a grenade! ”

With a roar, Yang Chenghu pulled out the only two grenades left on his body and threw them directly towards the armored car.

Boom ......!

Successive explosions rang out from the ranks of both sides at the same time, and after discovering that the Eighth Route Army was suppressed by armored vehicles, the Japanese also threw several grenades.

A burst of smoke rose, and more than a dozen of the charging Eighth Route Army were blown to the ground in a blur, and at the same time, seven or eight devil soldiers around the armored vehicle were also killed on the spot.

Da Da Da ...... However, it was obviously difficult for the grenade to destroy the devil's iron car.

The Type 91 armored car was built using carburized steel plates of more than six millimeters. Ordinary bullets can't penetrate at all, let alone the poorly powerful border grenades.

Although the Japanese troops near the armored vehicle were suffering from casualties, the two tongues of fire spit out on the armored vehicle were so dead that Yang Chenghu and they fell to the ground.

And on the other side of the road, the attack of the 1st battalion also ran into big trouble. Due to the lack of ammunition, the first battalion had limited damage to the Japanese troops on the road. After the Japanese army reacted, the devils of the two detachments relied on the rear-firing machine guns of the armored vehicles and a few crooked handles, and forced the new fourth company to suffer heavy casualties as soon as they rushed down the mountain.

Although the new fourth company is a fully equipped company, there are too many recruits, and the training is not good, and even more than half of the soldiers have not seen much blood.
