The troops rushing to the mountain road were very smooth at first, and soon divided the nearly four hundred devils into five or six pieces and scattered them in a ravine that stretched for nearly a kilometer.

However, when they launched a final attack on dozens of devils in the encirclement, an accident happened.

Although there are only a few dozen people, the devils are equipped with a lot of automatic firepower.

"Brigade commander, how can the devil have so many automatic weapons, dozens of people are equipped with seven or eight, or even a dozen machine guns!" Seeing a large number of tongues of fire that suddenly appeared on the battlefield, the chief of staff exclaimed with an expression of shock and disbelief.

According to his knowledge of the Japanese army, a standard infantry brigade of the Japanese army was equipped with 7 light machine guns and 8 to 12 heavy machine guns.

In the battle just now, not to mention too much, two regiments took out at least half of the automatic fire of the Japanese army.

There should only be one or twenty light and heavy machine guns left on the battlefield to continue fighting.

However, the automatic firepower that suddenly appeared on the battlefield all added up, and there were forty of them.

Under the frantic strafing of so many automatic weapons, the attacking troops paid a lot of casualties and did not rush into the devil's position.

"That's not a light or heavy machine gun, it's a submachine gun!" The brigade commander's brows also wrinkled into a big Sichuan character, and then he didn't understand.

"What the hell is this, how can you still have so many submachine guns. Aren't the devils short of resources, and the field troops are not equipped with submachine guns? Who the hell are they? ”

Because the devil special forces appeared in the Taiyue area for the first time, and they fought with the main force. Until now, Brigade Commander Chen did not know about their existence.

In the nearly 10 days of fighting in the past, the fundamental reason why the troops and guerrillas under Brigade Commander Chen suffered heavy losses in guerrilla warfare and movement warfare was the existence of devil special forces.

They are not good at field warfare, but they are very good at sneak attacks, tracking, and mountain warfare.

Dealing with small units of the Eighth Route Army and local guerrillas was a matter of complete hand-to-hand capture.

The atmosphere in the tense command headquarters, no one can answer the brigade commander's questions, everyone is staring at the battlefield, hoping that the front-line troops will make a breakthrough.

At this moment, a team of men and horses suddenly appeared on the edge of the battlefield.

There are not many troops, fifty or sixty people.

With a gun, he rushed to the battlefield, and directly killed the first encirclement.

Since they arrived, the automatic weapons equipped by the devils have not been so arrogant, and they have been constantly muted.

In less than two minutes, the light machine gun and submachine gun fire in the encirclement was weakened by more than half. And the rest of the firepower is also intermittent.

A multi-battalion unit around took the opportunity to rush forward and strangle with the remaining remnants of the devil.

At this time, dozens of people appeared in Brigade Commander Chen's field of vision again.

Instead of attacking with the troops, they rushed to the next encirclement with their guns in hand.

From the time they joined the battle to the time the attacking troops began to attack, in less than three minutes, the automatic firepower in the hands of the devils was reduced by half.

"Who are they? Chief of Staff, do we have such troops in our brigade? There are only a few dozen people, and the combat effectiveness is so strong! If he hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes, Brigade Commander Chen could hardly believe his eyes, and asked the chief of staff while staring at the battlefield.

The chief of staff was also shocked, and replied to himself: "There is definitely no such unit in our brigade!" ”

"Brigade commander, their combat effectiveness is too strong, and only a few dozen people have changed the stalemate on the battlefield. If they hadn't suddenly joined the battle and knocked out the devil's automatic fire, our attacking troops would definitely not have been able to rush up and strangle with the devil. ”

"No matter, you'll know who they are when the battle is over!" The battlefield is changing rapidly, and even if the squad plays a very big role, it is impossible for Brigade Commander Chen to keep an eye on them all the time.

Seeing that there were already two encirclements on the battlefield, the devils and the attacking troops were strangled together and fought with bayonets.

Brigade Commander Chen immediately ordered: "Inform the troops, end the battle as soon as possible, and then quickly clean up the battlefield and retreat!" ”

"Every minute more we delay here, the more casualties the blocking force will have. The devils have strong troops and plenty of ammunition, and we will definitely not be able to win against them! ”

In the next twenty minutes, the squad suppressed the devils in the remaining three encirclements on the battlefield, and then together with ordinary soldiers, they directly strangled the devils.

At this time, Brigade Commander Chen was shocked again.

Dozens of fighters, each armed with a Mauser pistol, were named after the devils who were fighting with bayonets.

On the battlefield, whenever they participated in white-knuckle battles, many devils were killed by bullets flying from nowhere before they could react from the shock.

"These people are all double-gun configurations, brigade commanders, one long and one short, does our Eighth Route Army have such a well-equipped unit?" Before Brigade Commander Chen could speak, the political commissar on the other side couldn't help but exclaim.

"Report!" At this moment, the voice of the guard company commander suddenly sounded at the entrance of the command headquarters.

"Chief, there have been troops outside the headquarters, it is a battalion of the headquarters guard regiment, and their battalion commander Zhang is already outside, I want to see you!"

"It must be the reinforcements sent to us by the headquarters! Only the headquarters has that much to do to form that force on the battlefield! The chief of staff immediately reacted and shouted.

Brigade Commander Chen was also very curious, and immediately ordered, "Let him in!" ”

"Report to the chief, the commander of the first battalion of the headquarters guard regiment has been ordered to report! We were ordered to bring in a consignment of weapons and ammunition, which is now hidden in a valley two kilometres from the battlefield. In addition, the headquarters ordered that the first battalion should not be rebuilt, and that it should be commanded by the chiefs! ”

"The reinforcements from the headquarters are too timely, Battalion Commander Zhang, the battle is not over yet, you will report the specific situation after the battle is over. Let me ask you if you brought the dozens of comrades who suddenly joined the battle just now! The happy Brigade Commander Chen did not forget his business, stared at Battalion Commander Zhang and asked.

"Report to the chief, they were brought by me, but they don't belong to the headquarters guard regiment!" Battalion Commander Zhang reacted immediately.

"They are a special combat team secretly set up by the headquarters, with only more than 50 troops. As soon as they arrived at the edge of the battlefield, they Captain Zhang found that among the devils you ambushed were the newly formed special forces of the Japanese army. ”

"Because the combat effectiveness of the special forces is very strong, if the general troops are not familiar with them, they will definitely suffer a big loss or even be defeated!"

"Captain Wang saw that the attacking troops and the devils had been in a stalemate, so he joined the battle without an order!"

Speaking of this, Battalion Commander Zhang, who mistakenly thought that the special combat team was in trouble, hurriedly asked: "Chief, did the special combat team suddenly join the battle and disrupt your battle plan!" ”

Brigade Commander Chen hurriedly shook his head and replied, "No, not only did they not cause trouble, but they also helped us a lot. After the battle, I will personally ask the headquarters for credit to them! ”

At this time, the chief of staff suddenly patted his head: "Brigade commander, I understand!" ”

"The headquarters has informed us about the special forces, and on the battlefield, especially at night, the combat effectiveness of a special operations squad of the devil is equal to that of one of our battalions, and both the headquarters and the division headquarters have suffered big losses. Unexpectedly, they also participated in this sweep. No wonder our guerrilla warfare and movement warfare seem to have lost their role in this anti-encirclement and suppression battle, it turns out that all this is done by the devil special forces! ”
