Section 189 Special Operations Forces

Sakuragi Ryota pondered for a while and then said, "The Shina army in the town is fiercely resisting, naturally it can't be because they feel that they can block our attack. They did this, presumably to cover the retreat of the officers in the command, and to buy more time for these people to evacuate here. ”

Tahara Saki couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "The people of Shina are like this, the bigger the official position, the more greedy they are for life and afraid of death." Unlike the soldiers of our empire, all of them have the courage to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor. Such a unit, no matter how powerful the soldiers below are, the overall combat power is not much stronger, and what is so terrible about a sheep commanding a group of lions? The commander is not bloody, where can these soldiers below have any combat effectiveness? ”

Sakuragi Ryota nodded, quite agreeing with his opinion, they have been fighting in China for several years, and they have a very thorough understanding of their enemies, and after so many battles, they all know what the advantages and disadvantages of the enemy on the other side are. What Tahara Saki said was naturally true, and Sakuragi Ryota immediately said: "Tahara-kun, we penetrated through the gap between the enemy's two positions, and ran all the way here, and the concealment was very good. This also bought us enough time for the battle in front of us. Now part of the enemy's troops are on the opposite side of Chunhua Mountain, and part of them are on the opposite side of the 6th Division, which is more than ten miles away from here, and it will take a long time to come here, and such a long time is enough for us to deal with the enemy here. As long as the senior commanders of these enemy forces are killed, where can the enemy army pose any threat to us in the chaos? So, Tahara-kun, you personally take 2 squadrons to make a detour to pursue the enemy high-ranking officials who are evacuated in the other direction of the town, and I will take a small team here to put pressure on the enemy troops in the town, and when the battle is resolved there, we will flank from both sides and completely eat all the enemy troops here. ”

"Hi" Tahara Saki responded, and then smiled: "Sakuragi-kun, before I come back, you must not finish the battle, just kill some escaped Shina people, it is not worth my risk to rush to such a deep place." ”

Sakuragi Ryota couldn't help but smile and said, "Tahara-kun, don't worry, since His Excellency the Commander let us attack this time, I naturally won't go back so early." After the battle here, if the enemy's reinforcements are disjointed, we will fight another ambush battle to annihilate as much of the enemy's living force as possible. ”

Tahara Saki couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "Every time I fight behind Sakuragi-kun, I can return with a full load, and this time is naturally no exception." Sakuragi-kun, in order to buy enough time for the battle that followed, I immediately sent it out, and after the pursuit was over, I would command the troops to attack from behind the town with the signal of three shells firing at the same time. ”

Almost at the same time, Shi Shi, who had just passed through Tang Village, received news from the scouts, and he couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard the report of the scout company's fierce fighting in the direction of Huanghua Town. Shi immediately ordered the troops to stop advancing, and at the same time sent people to invite the four battalion commanders to discuss the current battle situation together.

Liu Wenfeng, Gao Dazhui, Li Shijian, and Li Feng came very quickly, and in order to facilitate contact with each other, each battalion was equipped with several war horses, which could be used as officers' mounts, and second, it was also convenient to be able to respond in time when something happened. As soon as they received the news from the stone senders, they rushed to the scene, and stopped halfway through, knowing that something big must have happened without asking.

"There's a war going on there in Huanghua Town." As soon as he saw them, Stone was not polite, and immediately told the news of the scout's report. The four of them were taken aback, although they were mentally prepared and knew that something might have happened, but they didn't expect it to be such a thing, and the news was too shocking.

"Stone, Huanghua Town is the location of the military headquarters, and it is so far away from the front line, how can the devil kill here? Are we in the wrong place? Liu Wenfeng asked incredulously.

Shi shook his head and said: "There is a soldier from Changsha in the reconnaissance company, who knows the surrounding terrain well, besides, Brother Shen is the stationmaster of Changsha Station, and it is impossible for him not to know if he is in the wrong place." Shi Shi said while looking at Shen Qingyun on the side, he didn't expect that this military commander who felt like a plague god following him a few days ago would help him more and more as the battle deepened, although it didn't play any role on the frontal battlefield, but in terms of intelligence and terrain and other places, the people of the military commander were obviously more professional than them.

Shen Qingyun also said coldly at this time: "This is Tang Village, further ahead is Tangkou, and ten miles away is Huanghua Town." ”

Gao Sledgehammer asked on the side: "Stone, according to common sense, there will be no major military operations after the devils fall into the night, let alone fight deep into our heartland." And according to the information we have got, the first line of the Laodao River has not been broken through by the devils, and this battle is a bit strange, so it is best to send someone to investigate the situation there first. ”

Shi frowned and said: "The two places are ten miles apart, and if we confirm the news back and forth, if we delay for too long, it is likely that something big will happen, and at the moment we can only make a judgment immediately and come up with a plan to deal with it in the shortest possible time." Before you came, I had some discussions with Stationmaster Shen, and we also discussed the issue of Sledgehammer just now. Although the line of the Laodao River is still under our control, it is not difficult for the devil to come to the south bank with a thousand people. How can we take care of such a long river? The devils have collected a large number of fishing boats on the north shore, and there will be no problem with this. ”

Shen Qingyun also added: "The Japanese army will not have a major military operation at night, this is probably just the ordinary troops of the Japanese army, according to the news detected by our military commander." Each army of the Japanese army is equipped with special operations forces, which is generally a squadron, and in areas where operations are more frequent, it is a brigade, just like the 11th Army in front of us, which has a brigade. ”

"Special operations forces? What does this do? Liu Wenfeng asked puzzled.

Shen Qingyun said: "The special operations force is a unit composed of the most elite soldiers selected by the Japanese army from various divisions and regiments. Not only are the soldiers accurate in marksmanship and strong in martial arts, but they also cooperate with each other very tacitly. Our military commanders are operating behind enemy lines of the Japanese army, and the biggest threat is these people, and as long as there are places where these devils appear, the casualties will be very heavy. In addition, these special operations forces are also responsible for assassination and sabotage, and most often operate at night. You say that the Japanese troops do not move at night, it is because they do not fight with such troops, and they do not know their way of doing things. ”

Everyone couldn't help but be taken aback again, they all looked at each other, they had been fighting with the devil for several years, and it was the first time they knew that there was such an enemy army, and they couldn't help but be surprised, and according to Shen Qingyun, these enemy troops were obviously extremely strong in combat. The reason why the independent regiment's combat strength is amazing is that in addition to the amazing ability of the regiment commander to command operations, there is also a large number of veterans in the regiment, and they can give full play to their own strength on the battlefield. And what kind of special operations forces of the enemy army, every soldier is an elite selected from various divisions and regiments, and this alone shows how strong their strength is.

Shi Ye also asked: "Stationmaster Shen, is there a difference between the equipment of a unit like a devil and an ordinary army?" ”

Shen Qingyun also shook his head and said: "The number of brothers in our military command who survived after fighting with this kind of unit of the enemy army is very small, and they don't know much about them, and they often only face a squad or so, as for this kind of unit at the brigade level, it is not clear. However, there are only a few types of equipment for the Japanese army, and there should not be much difference from ordinary troops. ”

Hearing this, Shi couldn't help but groan and paced back and forth, although he also knew that time was urgent and could not withstand any waste, but at this moment he did not dare to have any carelessness, because every next order could lead to the death of many soldiers of the independent regiment, and it might even affect the survival of the military headquarters. In particular, when facing an enemy unit that has never been fought before, it is even more necessary to be cautious, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable if something goes wrong.

Everyone saw the stone act like this and held their breath one by one, in the past few years, they have been very familiar with the stone, seeing him such a move, it is to know that he is deducing the next development of the battle situation in his mind, imagining the direction of the situation, at this time must not disturb him to think.

Without letting them wait for a long time, Shi stopped in vain and looked up at everyone and said: "A few brothers, in other words, it is normal for the military headquarters to be attacked, but this time our communication was deciphered by the devils, and the devils know our platoon well, so send special operations forces to the hearts of the people, this tactic is quite effective." Once our military headquarters falls, the whole army falls into chaos, and the Laodao River gives up to each other, and whether the various departments can retreat in the strong attack of the devils is also a big question. ”

"However, the devil knows that the movements of our various divisions are very conducive to the war, but they are also greatly affected. In this battle, we are not without opportunities, and even if we fight well, we can inflict heavy losses on the devils or even wipe out this part of the devils, so that they can steal chickens and rice. After a pause, the stone immediately said quite confidently.
