Located at the eastern foot of Taihang Mountain, Shexian is the junction of Shanxi, Hebei and Henan provinces. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Such geographical advantages made the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese army attach great importance to the control here. But at present, the mountains and forests are basically under the control of the Eighth Route Army.

Most of the main transportation routes to and from the counties were under the control of the Japanese army. It's just that the Japanese army's control of these transportation arteries is more symbolic. When necessary, they will send heavy troops to guard it.

In peacetime, if troops were stationed on these major transportation routes, it would only give the Eighth Route Army an opportunity to take advantage of. As a result, there was nothing major about it, and most of the Japanese troops stationed in Shexian were hidden in the city and did not come out much, and the so-called township clean-up operation was basically suspended.

Every time their troops had not yet driven outside the city, the village was already empty when they wanted to clear it. So much so that every time the Qingxiang encirclement and suppression was formed, the result was a loss of troops, which made the Japanese troops stationed in the city also feel helpless.

In particular, Shexian County has become the location of the headquarters of the 129th Division, and the main force of the Eighth Route Army stationed here is undoubtedly very strong. With only a Japanese infantry brigade in the city, it is already very good to be able to hold the county seat.

As for those puppet soldiers, the Japanese troops in the city also didn't trust them very much. In many cases, these puppet armies have become the help of the Eighth Route Army. But if you want to hold a large city, the strength of the Japanese army alone is undoubtedly not enough.

When the Sakura special attack team set off from Licheng to Shexian, the Japanese troops in Licheng and Shexian were ready to fight. Regardless of whether the Sakura Raiders succeed in their mission, they need to be ready to take on them.

Even several Japanese garrisons near Shexian County secretly dispatched nearly a brigade of troops to Shexian County. For such a troop movement, it is naturally impossible to hide from the intelligence network of the Eighth Route Army.

While He Zhengdao and the others were resting peacefully, the troops of the Eighth Route Army around the division headquarters received an order to assemble urgently. In accordance with the operational instructions issued by the division headquarters, all units quickly assembled to change their defenses in villages.

Originally, some troops were not stationed, but at this time, there were suddenly troops stationed. The villages, which were originally garrisoned by troops, also retained only a few militia units and guerrilla units. A large net has been opened towards the Sakura Special Attack Team.

Even if the Japanese army is in the Eighth Route Army, they should also provide them with information. But with such a sudden transfer of garrison, those who were bribed did not have time to transmit the information in time.

Just as the Saber Special Operations Team and the 129th Division's Guard Regiment began to search for the Sakura Special Attack Team's possible attack route. Yamamoto Suzuki and his entourage also broke through to a village less than ten kilometers away from the location of the 129th Division.

Just when the team that was on the assault mission of the special attack team quietly planned to bypass the entrance of the village. Suddenly, a scolding voice sounded: "What person? Enemy attack! ”

Without giving the Japanese special attackers who were attacking a chance to react, the sentries of the Eighth Route Army, who had just arrived in the village, had already discovered the clothes these people were wearing, which they had never seen before, and immediately opened fire when they shouted about the whereabouts of the other party.

'Baga, assault! ’

The assault team leader who cursed secretly dodged the shooting of the sentry of the Eighth Route Army and quickly pulled the trigger in his hand. The gunfire at the entrance of the village caused a company of the Eighth Route Army that had just moved to the village to immediately blow the whistle for an emergency assembly.

The sentry who shouted through the whereabouts of the Sakura special attack team fired only two shots and failed to kill a single Japanese special combat member, and was shot and killed by a little devil with a submachine gun. Just as the assault team launched an assault, the lurking post at the entrance of the village also opened fire.

The clatter of machine guns caused the advancing Japanese assault team to quickly lie on the ground. After serving as the squad leader of the assault and making a gesture to one of the team members behind him. The commando quickly ripped an offensive grenade from his body.

After throwing it with force, the explosion sounded, and the machine gunner, who was hiding in the shadows, also lost its combat effectiveness. It's just that what makes Yamamoto Suzuki angry is that there seem to be more and more troops of the Eighth Route Army pouring out of the village.

Seeing this situation, Yamamoto Suzuki said angrily: "Yaga, didn't you say that there are no troops stationed in this village tonight?" So where did these people come from? They are clearly the regular troops of the Eighth Route Army! ”

The Japanese intelligence officer who served as the guide was also very aggrieved: "Your Excellency Dazuo, we can know very well about the transfer of the Eighth Route Army. Sometimes they move their defenses, but they do it very suddenly. As far as I've learned, there shouldn't be any troops here tonight! ”

So how did they come about? Eight Geya Road, if there is a dozen here, I am afraid that it will alarm the high-level of the Eighth Route Army. If this operation fails, you will also be jointly and severally liable. ’

Knowing that Yamamoto Suzuki has a lot of background, the intelligence officer in charge of leading the way also felt speechless. Even if you want to find a scapegoat, you won't be so straightforward. After all, it is really not easy to find out the deployment of the Eighth Route Army!

As the Eighth Route Army had more and more radio stations, some battalion-level combat units were issued radios. In this way, the divisional headquarters can sometimes send orders to the combat battalions through the radio.

Except for a few people in the headquarters, it is equally difficult for outsiders to know the specific deployment plan of the Eighth Route Army at all times. As long as the order of the division headquarters is issued, all units need to unconditionally carry out the order to move and change defenses.

Originally, this village had just been stationed with a unit two days ago. According to the rules of the Eighth Route Army's garrison in the past, the Eighth Route Army could not be stationed in a village, which would also increase the burden on the people.

Except for the villages where the division headquarters is currently located, most of the rest of the fortress villages on the periphery will implement such regulations. But no one expected that the village, where troops had just been stationed two days ago, would move in tonight.

The guide, who had been trained for a while, did not dare to argue with anything. He could only say: "Your Excellency Dazuo, what should we do next?" Is it to cancel tonight's operation, or to open a way from here to rush through? ”

'Baga, we can't give the Eighth Route Army time to react. Order the assault squad to stop those Eighth Route Army troops. The rest of the combat team continued to advance towards the destination in a detour. Rush to the mountains where you want to go, and then make plans! ’

In Yamamoto Suzuki's view, although a war breaks out here, it will inevitably alarm the surrounding Eighth Route Army troops. But there are many terrains here that are suitable for his small army to hide and hide, and it is not easy for the Eighth Route Army to find them.

It is even possible that Yamamoto Suzuki intends to send one or two combat teams to act as a lure in the next operation to distract the troops of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army on the periphery of the division headquarters.

And he himself personally led the remaining special combat team members to find an appropriate time to launch a surprise attack on the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army. As long as things go as expected, revealing your whereabouts isn't necessarily a bad thing.

What Yamamoto Suzuki has to do now is to turn this bad thing into a good thing!

Yamamoto Suzuki, who felt that there was still a chance to carry out the decapitation operation, was naturally unwilling to retreat. Along the way, in fact, they fought several times with the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army, and they often did not hesitate.

Although the village in front of me is suddenly garrisoned, it is a bit unexpected. But think about it, this is already close to the location of the headquarters of the 129th Division. It is also normal for the troops to strengthen their security vigilance.

Suzuki Yamamoto, who quickly made the decision to move on, put the assault team in charge of blocking the Eighth Route Army troops coming out of the village. The rest of the operation team quickly detoured from the entrance of the village until all of them passed the village safely.

The assault team responsible for blocking also left the village entrance after fighting and retreating. When the company commander stationed in the village looked at the enemy who had disappeared without a trace, the whole person fell into a state of panic and madness.

'What kind of enemy is this?' Why did we fight them for so long, and not a single corpse of the enemy remained, and our third company suffered almost half of the casualties. What the hell is going on? Chase, be sure to catch up with those dogs! ’

Looking at the somewhat crazy company commander, the other soldiers of the third company who participated also felt incredulous. Before, almost all of their three companies were dispatched, but they forced more than a dozen people to block the village and couldn't get out.

Just as they set up the mortar, the other party didn't give them too much entanglement, and quickly slipped away from the entrance of the village. This is the first time they have encountered such an enemy as soldiers. But such an enemy is indeed too unexpected for them.

Just when everyone was immersed in this sudden and vicious battle, the instructor of the company said in a timely manner: "Communicator, take the horse out and report to the battalion headquarters as soon as possible what we have encountered."

At the same time, it was conveyed to other friendly and neighboring forces to closely monitor the movements of this enemy force. also told the battalion commander that this little devil was only afraid that the comer would not be good. It is very likely that they are heading for the division headquarters and inform the chiefs to be careful. ”

As the instructor of the company, the instructor must also stabilize the morale of the company when the morale of the company is scattered. As the instructor gave instructions, the previous atmosphere of sadness and solemnity was quickly dispelled.

The surviving officers and men of the Third Company also began to rescue those wounded comrades-in-arms and collect the bodies of those who sacrificed their comrades. The signal corps of the third company was all immediately sent out and rode on horseback to inform all the friendly and neighboring troops in the vicinity.

It's just that what the third company didn't expect was that before the signal corps returned, the guard unit of the division headquarters arrived in the village. Looking at the bodies that had been gathered on the ground, the officers and soldiers of the guard regiment were equally angry and shocked.

From the position of the guns in these remains, it can be seen that these soldiers are all on the way to attack. And most of the muzzles of the guns are vital parts of the people, and this kind of marksmanship is only afraid that ordinary troops will not be able to do it at all.

Just when the company commander of the third company couldn't understand what kind of unit this was, the saber special combat team members who came with the guard regiment said very directly: "Okay, just leave the rest to us." ”

The traces of the Sakura Special Attack Team have been discovered, and for the Saber Special Combat Team who are searching for them, they will definitely not be able to escape the saber tracking. Even the terrain here is not suitable for tracking special combat teams that are good at mountain warfare.

But Sabre believes that this is their home field, and it should be certain that the special forces of this little devil will be annihilated! (To be continued.) )
