Chapter 547: The Japanese Lieutenant General Who Was Suffocated to Death
As soon as Li Guodong's words were finished, a rush of footsteps reached the ears of the two. Immediately after, the figure of the squadron leader of the reconnaissance squadron, who had been out for more than ten minutes, appeared in the eyes of the two of them..."Captain, I'm back...."Seeing the puzzled eyes of the two captains, the squadron leader quickly replied....
"Finally waiting for you to come back, Xiao Wang, quickly, report to us the specific situation detected by your reconnaissance squadron...."Wang Ping let out a long sigh of relief, and after putting down his heart, he asked..."Captain, according to our reconnaissance, the army has arranged a total of about a small team of light and dark sentinels around the entire barracks. In addition, there is about a squadron of devil soldiers who are responsible for patrolling around the entire command ... As for the forward headquarters of the army, if nothing else, it will be in the entire barracks, in the middle of a few tents...", the reconnaissance captain replied with a laugh, "Is there anything else?" After receiving a hand-drawn sketch from the reconnaissance squadron leader during the reconnaissance process, Wang Ping continued to ask..."Captain, according to observation, the army is here, here, and here,... On each of these heights, two heavy machine-gun emplacements and several light machine-gun emplacements configured with each other were arranged ... As for the other heavy weapons, because the patrol frequency of the little devil's patrol is too dense, we didn't dare to get too close for fear of startling the snake..."The scout captain pointed to a few points on the sketch and said..."Needless to say, other heavy weapons are definitely possessed, after all, the little devil is here, and he has hoarded a large number of troops. According to the standard configuration of the army, a brigade has at least one heavy machine gun squadron, an infantry artillery squad, and a certain number of mortars. And the forward command center they defend is related to the security of the command system of the 100,000 army, and the number of heavy weapons will only be strengthened, and there will be no reduction..."Wang Ping said thoughtfully..."Lao Li, there is only so much we can reconnoitre, you see, what should we do." You know, the little devil doesn't have much time left for us...."After a short period of contemplation, looking at the watch on his arm, Wang Ping asked Li Guodong beside him..."Old Wang, judging from the current situation, it is definitely not possible to attack. Not to mention anything else, with a dozen light and heavy machine guns arranged by the little devils around the defensive line, our two brigades will pay heavy casualties. You see, are we giving the little devil a way to lure the snake out of the hole, and outside the barracks, a large number of people will be killed and injured by the living force of the army. Then, according to the changes in the situation of the war, we will suddenly launch a general attack on their military camps and complete the tasks assigned to us by the commander with minimal casualties..."Li Guodong proposed....
"Good way, this can reduce the losses of the troops to the greatest extent... Xiao Wang, how many mortars did we carry in this sortie...."Wang Ping's eyes lit up, and he asked expectantly at the deputy captain behind him..."Captain, because of the commander's explanation, this time, all the mortars belonging to our two brigades were brought, a total of 24... In addition, a large number of cannonballs were brought, enough for the little devil to drink a pot...", the deputy captain replied affirmatively.
"Okay, immediately concentrate all the mortars and launch an artillery bombardment on the tent where the headquarters of the army in front of you is located. Remember, you must make sure that the first round of 24 shells, all of which fall around these tents, destroy their command posts at the first time... Is there any problem..."Wang Ping nodded, and ordered affirmatively..."Captain, you can rest assured, guarantee the completion of the task..."After speaking, the deputy captain left in a hurry and began to make specific arrangements..."Old Wang, you kid is really ruthless, the first time, blow up the commander of the little devil's front. The little devil commander is dead, and they, the infantry in charge of guards, are going to fight with you before they take up arms... However, what we want is for the little devils to launch a counter-charge and fight with us... Lao Wang, my third brigade, what is the task, don't be polite, just arrange...."Looking at Wang Ping in front of him, Li Guodong said with a sly smile..."If nothing else, after the enemy's headquarters is shelled, the little devil guard unit will definitely be divided into two parts. Some of them are in charge of the attack, wanting to eliminate our culprit and bury their commander... The other part is to rescue their command headquarters... Therefore, I intend to entrust to your 3rd Brigade the task of destroying the enemy sortie. How about it, Lao Li, is there any problem with the third brigade..."Wang Ping said with a smile..."No problem, isn't it just a little devil in the brigade, when the time comes, I will definitely let them go back to their Oriental hometown... Okay, I'll go and set it up, and I'll hand over the rest to your second brigade..."After saying that, Li Guodong hurriedly ran to the rear... In this way, a huge conspiracy specifically targeting the forward command of the Japanese army is slowly unfolding. In the forward headquarters of the Yue Army, which is more than ten kilometers away from Shimenling, they have no idea that there is an elite unit next to them that can wipe them out at any time. At the same time, they lost contact, and they did not know that at this moment, the nearly 10,000 imperial troops and Manchurian troops they had hoarded in the direction of Shimenling had become history....
"Open the artillery...", the 24 mortars that had already been marked to shoot at the personnel were already marked, and at the same time there was a dull sound of shelling and running guns. In an instant, 24 shells, after drawing a perfect arc in the sky, accurately smashed into several tents in the middle of the military camp..."Boom, boom, boom..." A dense explosion sounded, and in the dark night, the huge fireballs produced by the explosion of the shells immediately rose into the air, illuminating the entire barracks of the little devils. At the same time, several tents that had just been erected in the middle of the barracks were completely in flames at this moment. In an instant, the entire area was completely enveloped in smoke from the explosion of artillery shells..."Enemy attack... Eight Tooth Road... The troops immediately assembled to protect His Excellency the Division Commander... Don't panic, don't panic... Yes... Baga, my legs..."With the explosion of the shells, under the reflection of the firelight, the military camp, which had just been in order, immediately fell into chaos. One by one, the little devils, dragging their weapons, began to run frantically towards the command headquarters, which had become a sea of fire, amid the roars of commanders at all levels, ready to rescue the commanders who might survive in the midst of artillery fire....
However, their actions, not only did they not be able to rescue their commander from the fire, but they also had to take their own surname... Because, just when the groups of little devil soldiers who were not afraid of death were screaming and rushing towards the sea of fire, the second round of shells fired by the artillery cluster had already flown above their heads... Another dense explosion sounded in an area of nearly 100 meters with the headquarters as the center. Before the large number of devil soldiers who had already rushed into the headquarters or approached the headquarters could make any reaction, they turned into corpses in the dense explosion..." Quickly, the troops will assemble immediately, and today I must make these cunning sneak attackers pay a huge price..."Seeing that nearly a hundred soldiers were drowning in the sea of fire in an instant, they were preparing to command the troops and rescue the commander of the division, and the captain of the army guard brigade immediately changed his order... Because he knew that if it was not possible to eliminate the attackers outside the barracks in the shortest possible time, to deal with their artillery units ... Then, no matter how hard you try, it is impossible to rescue Your Excellency the division commander, but you will have to pay heavy casualties for this..."Your Excellency the Captain, the headquarters has been shelled, and the life and death of the division commander are uncertain. What's more, the cunning enemy, hiding outside the barracks, constantly firing shells, depleting the strength of our imperial army... Your Excellency, what should we do now? Just as the chaos in the entire barracks had just ended, the deputy captain rushed over and asked with an anxious face.
"Kuwatian-kun, I order, now we will immediately divide into two ways. It is up to you, personally to lead the strength of a squadron, His Excellency the Commander of the Rescue Division. I took the rest of my troops and immediately went into a sortie. No matter what, we're going to eliminate these cunning sneak attackers. Otherwise, the result that awaits the two of us will either go to a military court or directly apologize to His Majesty the Emperor... How, are there any problems? Looking at the command behind him, which had been caught in a sea of fire and explosions were constantly occurring, the captain also ordered with an anxious face.
"Hi, Your Excellency Captain, I promise to complete the mission, please rest assured... The first squadron, rush with me, no matter what, you must rescue His Excellency the division commander... Kill to..."As he spoke, the deputy captain Kuwata Nakasa quickly drew his command knife and commanded loudly at the first pair of more than a hundred devil soldiers in front of him..."Warriors, today, I will take you to eliminate the cunning sneak attackers and avenge the fallen comrades. Now I order, the troops will immediately attack, destroy the cunning sneak attackers, and kill them..." The captain quickly chopped off his command knife, and gave the order to attack the troops behind him..."Kill to..."In addition to the first squadron, the remaining three infantry squadrons, more than 500 devil soldiers, immediately under the command of their respective squad leaders and squadron leaders, raised their rifles with bayonets in their hands, and launched an attack outside the barracks, where the artillery positions were located..."Captain, the little devils attacked, they took the bait, and the total strength was about 500 people..." At the first time, the news of the attack of the Yue army was reported to Li Guodong, who was in charge of ambushing the attack of the Yue army..."Okay, the little devil has finally come out, inform the troops, and prepare for battle... Listen to my order, all of them will fire at me, and no little devil can let go..."The corner of Li Guodong's mouth showed a sneer, and he ordered loudly..."Kill to..."In the blink of an eye, more than 500 screaming little devil soldiers had already rushed in front of all the commanders and fighters of the Third Brigade. Seeing the little devils, without any hesitation, they broke into their own ambush circle. Almost every warrior had a smile of victory on his face. Then, he slowly raised all kinds of weapons in his hand and aimed at the little devil who was charging quickly in the encirclement....
"Comrades, give me a hard beating...", with the sound of Li Guodong's order, began to echo on the battlefield, more than a thousand soldiers, at the same time, pulled the triggers of various weapons in their hands... Suddenly, a dense burst of machine-gun fire, grenade explosions, and rifle fire completely covered up the shouts of the army....
Under the dense strafing of the crossfire composed of dozens of light and heavy machine guns around them, one by one the devil soldiers, before they could make any reaction, were beaten into a hornet's nest, and then fell heavily in a pool of blood... Looking at the dense network of firepower around them, although these little devils who have been exposed to the spirit of bushido for a long time are not afraid of death. However, in the blink of an eye, the scene of more than a hundred heroic soldiers of the Imperial Army being beaten to a bloody blur by the flying bullets still deeply shocked their hearts... As a squad leader was the first to lie on the ground, the remaining more than 300 devil soldiers immediately lay down on the spot, relying on the corpses of their comrades around them as a cover, and shooting at the surrounding soldiers....
However, although such a knee-jerk reaction can slow down the speed of their death, it cannot change the form of the entire battlefield. In the face of absolute superiority in firepower, superiority in troops, superiority in geography. There is only one result waiting for them, and that is to slowly drain the blood from their bodies, and eventually the whole army will be wiped out....
"If this continues, we will all be wiped out sooner or later, the eight Geya Road, the cunning Shina people, the cunning sneak attackers..." The captain couldn't help frowning, and said to himself, "Your Excellency, the people are too cunning, we are surrounded... Your Excellency, the captain, suggests that the troops should break through immediately, and withdraw as much as they can..."In the midst of the dense machine-gun fire, a squadron leader, facing the captain who was frowning beside him, loudly suggested..."Nani? Fall back... No, the division headquarters was attacked, and the life and death of His Excellency the division commander were uncertain. Even if we retreat safely, what awaits us is a trial by a military tribunal or a direct apology to His Majesty the Emperor. Now, we have only one chance to wash away this shame, and that is to rush through the enemy's lines, eliminate these cunning sneak attackers, and avenge the fallen warriors...", the captain refused without hesitation. Then, he shouted loudly to the soldiers beside him, "Warriors, retreating now is also death, and advancing is also death." We are all the most heroic samurai in the Great Empire, and even if we die, we must keep ourselves as a samurai... Warriors, the time has come to be loyal to the Great Empire and His Majesty the Emperor. Let's rush over and destroy the cunning sneak attackers, kill and give..."
As he spoke, the captain was the first to jump up from the ground, holding his command knife, stepping on the corpse of the fallen soldier, and rushed forward....
"Captain, there are less than three hundred little devils left in the entire barracks now. These little devils are now gathered around the headquarters to rescue their division commanders. As for the surroundings of the entire barracks, there is hardly a single devil soldier left..."Listening to the dense gunfire coming from the ambush battlefield of the Third Brigade not far away. A scout reported loudly to Wang Ping in front of him, "Okay, it's finally our second team's turn to shoot." Ordered all the commanders and fighters, with the squadron as the combat unit, to open the way with machine guns, and immediately launch a charge against the military camp... Tell a few squadron leaders, I don't want a single living mouth, just the corpse of the commander of the division... Of course, if you can grab some important documents, of course, it is the best. Trumpeter, blow the trumpet...."Wang Ping said..."Tick-tock... Tick-tock..."A loud charge horn sounded, and several squadrons and dozens of machine gunners who had already quietly moved to the surrounding barracks immediately pulled the trigger of the machine gun in their hands. Under the frantic strafing of more than a dozen machine guns on each side, one combat squadron after another, one by one, like tigers descending from the mountain, quickly rushed towards the command headquarters of the Yue Army, which had become a sea of fire in the military camp... In the face of the fierce attack of the soldiers, in the entire barracks, the remaining more than 300 devil soldiers can do their last stubborn resistance... However, their stubborn resistance had no effect other than temporarily hindering the speed of the fighters' attacks. In the end, under the cover of a large number of mortar fire, after a fierce attack for ten minutes, none of the more than 300 soldiers led by the deputy captain of the Yue Army Guard Brigade escaped the net, and all of them became corpses... As the gunfire slowly stopped, the fire around the headquarters was extinguished. Rushing into the headquarters that had become a ruin, the corpse of the Yue Army, which had been angry for a long time, appeared in everyone's eyes. As for the corpse of Lieutenant General Heiyan, the commander-in-chief of the front of the army, the commander of the 22nd Division, he fell in the rubble... However, what shocked people was that the division commander in front of him was not killed by his own artillery fire, but by his own guards... Turning over the corpse of a little devil who was pressed on the body of the Black Rock General, the corpse of Lieutenant General Black Smoke, who finally died of anger because of a long time of breath-holding, appeared in front of everyone....
"Hehe, I really didn't expect that the forward commander of the little devil was not killed by our shells, but was suffocated to death by his own guards... The operator, immediately report to the commander that the attack plan has been successfully completed, and the commander-in-chief of the front line of the army was suffocated to death by his own guards... In addition, my second and third brigades are cleaning up the battlefield and will immediately retreat with loot... Wang Ping..."Looking at the corpse of the lieutenant general and commander in front of him, Wang Ping smiled and ordered with a serious face to the newspaper operator behind him....
