Chapter 112: Touching the Camp
"Captain, what does it mean that the gentleman transferred us? Is it to withdraw after contact with the Japanese army, or to teach these Japanese soldiers a lesson" Yan Jiuzhang, who was wearing a camouflage net, asked in a low voice, lying beside him, looking at the rock dragon in front of him with a telescope. Yan Long, the captain of the cleaning team, and Yan Jiuzhang, the captain of the first squadron, are brothers who have not come out of five suits, they were originally hunters in Shandong, and they simply threw thunder when they couldn't go on, and after a whole year of training, this was the first battle led by Yan Long.
"Sir said that he will not accept the order of the king outside, do you know what it means?" Yan Long squinted at his brother, "Sir is saying that the commander who leads the team has the right to adjust the action plan according to the changes on the battlefield, just like this time, Sir sent us to recruit this 56th Division." I think we can attack him at night, these Japanese battalions are not well guarded, there are too many loopholes"
Yanlong's words made the hearts of several members of the cleaning team lying beside him hot, knowing that they were about to face the 56th Division, which was known as the king of the jungle in the Japanese army, everyone's hearts were full of anger, and the captain said that he wanted to clean up these little devils, and this battle could be fought. Like the mercenary troops commanded by Yan Wudao, Yanlong's cleaning team also gets a salary, and the monthly salary is only enough for these energetic guys to smoke and drink to find women, and the big income still depends on the captured booty, and there are a lot of jade and gold in Burma, and the guys in the sweeping team have been waiting for the day to attack Burma.
"Xiao Jiu, you take the first squadron into the forest to prepare, Mengzi, you take the second squadron to follow me, let's go to the camp" The 1,200 people of the cleaning team were originally divided into 4 companies, and after Yanlong took command from Zhao Zhi, this hunter, who had only been in private school for a few years, divided the cleaning team into 2 squadrons and 12 squads according to the size of the mercenary establishment. Yan Jiuzhang and Sun Meng, the former platoon commander of the National Army, served as two squadron leaders respectively, and each of them had 6 squad leaders.
Yan Jiuzhang was a little dissatisfied with Yan Long's order to let him enter the forest to prepare for the interception, but Yan Long was the captain after all, and his squadron leader had to obey the order, and the somewhat frustrated Yan Jiuzhang had to move into a forest on the slope on the left with his first squadron. The 56th Division was not camped with the 22nd Division, and there was a mountain stream between the camps of the two divisions, perhaps because of the rain a few days ago, this mountain stream looked more than 3 meters wide, and the forest where Yan Jiuzhang went could overlook these two camps.
"Captain, you want to fish in troubled waters, right?" Sun Meng was born as a platoon commander of the national army, and before entering the thunder, he fought with the Japanese army, and he always liked to ponder the tactical battles of the thunder in the past. The 30-year-old Yanlong is not very literate, and he is not a talker, many members of the cleaning team, including Sun Meng, are a little unconvinced that Yanlong is in charge of the cleaning team, but now Sun Meng is somewhat convinced.
"It's not called fishing in troubled waters" The rock dragon who turned his face was still an expressionless face, "Sir said that when the number of troops is not equal, it is necessary to formulate a battle plan according to the terrain and your own advantages. Field warfare in the mountains and jungles is the strength of our sweeping team, but the number of Japanese troops is dozens of times that of us, what should we do? We're here to give these Japanese soldiers a war letter, we can't just see that they have more people and we will withdraw, and if we don't leave a lesson for these Japanese soldiers, won't our cleaning team come in vain this time?"
Yanlong's words were a little incompatible, Sun Mengleng didn't understand what Yanlong wanted to say, but the order had already come down, and he, the squadron leader, could only act according to the order like Yan Jiuzhang. "Now is not the time" Yan Long shook his head to stop Sun Meng, who wanted to sort out his equipment, "I heard that the brothers of the infiltrator unit said that the Japanese army was very vigilant at night, and told the brothers below to hurry up and eat and sleep, and start the operation at 4 o'clock in the morning"
Although he had doubts in his heart, Sun Meng still passed on Yan Long's order, and after night fell, news also came from Yan Jiuzhang's side that the two Japanese infantry squads hidden in the forest had been cleared up, and their flanks were safe. "Sleep, I'll call you when it's time" Yan Long pointed to a few members of the cleaning team as vigilant sentinels, and he took out a stick of incense from a box in his backpack and lit it between his fingers, and then rested with his eyes closed on his rucksack.
Sleeping with a lit incense stick is a habit that Yanlong has cultivated over many years of life in the mountains and forests, this homemade incense stick can repel insects, snakes and mosquitoes, and the same length of incense stick burns for two hours, and the incense stick burns out enough to burn his fingers enough to wake Yanlong from his deep sleep. The night breeze was blowing, and the two Japanese camps by the mountain stream were full of snoring, and the tents of both the 22nd Division and the 56th Division were not enough.
Some of them slept well, but the hardest thing in the Japanese camp was the patrols and sentries who patrolled back and forth with guns in their hands, as was the case with the 13th Wing of the 6th Division and the Sasaki Wing of the 22nd Division. Both of these wings have suffered night attacks, especially the 22nd Division's Sasaki Wing will be attacked by the opponent twice in a row on the same night, if it weren't for the last trench holding, perhaps the Sasaki Wing, which is known as the strongest combat force in the 22nd Division, will also be removed like the 13th Wing.
Time passed little by little, and the patrols and sentries who were on guard were all wide-eyed, but unfortunately the expected night attack did not appear, it was already past 4 o'clock in the morning, and in less than an hour the sky would light up, and everyone relaxed, it seemed that there would be no night attack. The two secret sentinels lurking on the outskirts of the camp endured sleepiness and smoked together and talked quietly, Tianma Mountain was about to be light, tonight was safe, and their mission was about to end.
With a soft sound of "poof", a black featherless crossbow arrow directly pierced the heads of the two people who were leaning together and talking into a sugar gourd, and the mouth holding the cigarette only twitched twice, and the Japanese army secret sentry pierced by the crossbow arrow lost its last consciousness. A piece of turf on the ground slowly bulged, revealing a painted colorful face from below, and the distance of 20 meters made the rock dragon who infiltrated with the help of a camouflage net give up using a silencer pistol, it was still dark, the gun flame was too conspicuous, and it was safer to use a crossbow.
The Japanese secret posts on the periphery of the camp were uprooted one by one, and the sky would light up in another half an hour, and Yanlong and 300 cleaning team members finally entered the camp of the 56th Division on the east side of Shanxi. "Mengzi, you take a squad to set up bombs, the second squad is ready to take over tactically, and the third squad follows me first" Yan Long took out a silencer and began to twist the pistol, the third squad followed him was the same, the number of silencers assembled by the cleaning team was much higher than that of other troops, almost one person.
"Let's go" The rock dragon waved his hand, biting a spare magazine into his mouth, and rushed forward with two guns in hand. "Pap", "Pap", "Pap", "Pap", "Pap" "Pap" were almost shooting at the head of the sleeping Japanese soldiers, and the two guns in Yanlong's hands still had the effect of sniper rapid fire. Yan Long took 100 sweepers into the camp of the 56th Division like a gust of wind, and shot the soldiers of the 56th Division in the darkness before the light came.
After installing a silencer, the pistol only emitted a very small sound when it was fired, and the speed of their movement was very fast, and by the time the patrol team in the camp came up with the idea of this abnormality, the rock dragon had already emptied four pistol magazines, and the soldiers of the 56th Division who were shot and killed by the cleaning team at night had exceeded 1,000. "Bang" found Yanlong because he was holding his urine, and their Japanese patrol pulled the trigger in a daze, "Retreat, retreat" The gunfire rang out suddenly, Yanlong's face changed, and he took out a grenade and threw it out.
"Boom" The grenade thrown by the rock dragon exploded into a fireball with a radius of 3 meters, which is the mercenary's favorite hand-thrown incendiary grenade, which will form a fireball after the explosion, and the rock dragon uses it as a signal to command the sweeper team to retreat. "Retreat, retreat" The fireball that suddenly bloomed in the darkness was very conspicuous, and Sun Meng, who was planting a bomb with his subordinates, hurriedly ran out with his life when he saw this, once the soldiers of the 56th Division regained their strength, none of them could escape.
Seeing that his team members had almost withdrawn, Yan Long, who had changed his submachine gun, and several team members around him fired at the pursuing Japanese soldiers. The sound of gunfire and explosions woke up the sleeping Japanese troops, and even the camp of the 22nd Division on the other side of the stream was a chaotic commotion of people on their backs. "Boom" "Boom" "Boom" "Boom" Several fire balls suddenly broke out in the camp of the 56th Division, and the bombs planted by Sun Meng and others were triggered by the pursuing Japanese soldiers, and the rising fire balls were mixed with the stumps and broken arms of the Japanese soldiers, which made the mercenaries of the cleaning team let out a burst of cheers.
"Let's go, you go first" The 10 snipers in the sweeping team used the fire in the Japanese camp to keep firing to cover the retreat of their comrades, and after installing a silencer, the snipers could only ensure that they could hit 100 shots within 400 meters, but now it was a night battle, and 400 meters was enough to deter the Japanese army. "Boom" "Boom" "Da Da" The camp of the 56th Division burst out a series of bullets, mixed with grenades and mortar shells from grenadiers, but unfortunately they could not hear the sniper's gunfire, so they could only rely on their intuition to bombard the outside of the camp with artillery fire.
