Chapter 9: Squadron Leader, It's a Flare!
Three or four minutes later, Li Yunlong and Zhang Dabiao were on the temporary mountain command headquarters and condescendingly saw a devil army galloping from the northwest under the darkness of the night.
"Sure enough, it's the strength of an infantry squadron, and the team is very long!"
Li Yunlong saw through the binoculars that a devil army was lining up to attack and advance towards Zhaojiayu.
However, due to the narrow mountain road from the West Village Pass to Zhaojiayu, the line of the Matsugami squadron will be stretched no matter what.
"Captain, look, the little devil has stopped."
Zhang Dabiao whispered and pointed to a place less than thirty meters west of the mouth of the West Village, and the Matsugami squadron suddenly stopped advancing.
"I guess it's going to be a fire reconnaissance."
Li Yunlong suddenly realized what the devil was doing, and sneered.
"Also to !!"
Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the first battalion, also nodded, the little devil faced the terrain of Zhaojiayu, and he would definitely not recklessly send troops in, and he would definitely conduct fire reconnaissance first.
Sure enough, after Matsugami Saburo ordered the devil squadron to stop advancing, he raised his binoculars to observe the dead Zhao Jiayu.
"Send someone to the front village entrance to have a look!"
Here at the mouth of Nishimuraguchi, who ambushed Yamamoto Kazuki's special forces, there was still some smell of gunsmoke, and Matsugami Saburo, who had fought a little bit, suddenly smelled the smell of ammunition and gunpowder in the air that had not completely dissipated.
"Hay! Quick, Scout on!! ”
Second Lieutenant Nonomiya Yu, the squadron adjutant on the side, paused, and then waved his hand to the scouts attached to the squadron on the side and whispered.
"Yes!!"
The devil scouts immediately dispatched, and the three devil scouts touched the cat's waist all the way to the entrance of Zhaojiayu West Village.
In the night, Li Yunlong and Zhang Dabiao, who were condescendingly observing the enemy's situation, both secretly sneered.
In such night conditions, the scouts of the devils want to discover the fighters of the independent regiment in ambush, dream!
Sure enough, the devil scout quickly came out of Zhaojiayu and withdrew all the way to Matsugami Saburo.
"Captain of the report, within twenty meters west of the mouth of the West Village, are the corpses of the warriors of the Imperial Army Special Forces who were killed, and the weapons and equipment on the corpses of the warriors of the Special Forces, even the steel helmets and shoes, were taken away by the Eighth Route Army."
Matsugami Saburo nodded when he heard the newspaper and said, "I'm not blind, I saw it." ”。
"Tell me, what's going on in Zhaojiayu?"
The devil scout shook his head and said, "There is not a single ordinary person in Zhaojiayu, all of them are empty. ”。
"Squadron leader, it seems that Li Yunlong has withdrawn."
Second Lieutenant Yuji Nonomiya, the lieutenant of the squadron, said in a low voice.
"Not necessarily!!"
I don't know why, Matsugami Saburo always felt a little uneasy, and said directly to the adjutant Nonomiya Yuji: "Order the machine gun to aim at the mountains on the north and south sides of the west village entrance of Zhaojiayu to conduct fire reconnaissance." ”。
"Grenadiers, aimed at the inside of Zhaojiayu, shelling."
Seeing this, the adjutant Yuji Nonomiya knew that Saburo Matsugami was going to reconnoiter with firepower to ensure that nothing went wrong, so as not to have ambushes.
"Hay! On the grenadiers, the machine gun squad fired at the hills on both sides of the West Village Entrance, killing the !! ”
Drawing his katana, Yuji Nonomiya roared.
Soon, the devil machine gun squad immediately stepped forward and set up light machine guns to fire at the entrance of Zhaojiayu West Village.
The devil grenadier attached to the squadron was also taken out by the devil soldiers, and after being erected at their feet, they began to shell the inside of Zhaojiayu.
"Dada, dada!!"
"Tom !!"
The dense tongues of fire fired by the strings of machine guns were very eye-catching in the night.
Although the cannonballs fired by the devil's grenadiers were not very powerful, they also blew up the houses in the village in Zhaojiayu.
"Boom, boom!!"
The cannonballs from the grenadiers were not large, but they also exploded loudly in Zhaojiayu, a village surrounded by mountains.
Although Li Yunlong already knew the devil's tactical routines, he didn't expect that the devil really had a grenadier for artillery reconnaissance.
"Watch for secrecy!!"
Li Yunlong gave the order, of course, the soldiers of the independent regiment had fought many battles with the devils, and it didn't take much to hear the screams of shells whistling in the sky, and they could quickly hide on the spot.
In the fire reconnaissance of the devils, it lasted at least half a minute.
"Commander, the little devil won't blow up like this, right?"
Seeing that the fire reconnaissance had been more than half a minute, Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the first battalion, whispered beside Li Yunlong.
"Think beautifully!"
Li Yunlong sneered: "The little devil is very expensive even if it is a grenadier shell, and it will definitely not take more than two minutes of firepower reconnaissance." ”。
"Tell the brothers, when all the devils enter Zhaojiayu, let the brothers who are in ambush on both sides of the West Village Pass block the West Village Entrance for me as soon as possible."
Zhang Dabiao smiled, and then said with a serious expression: "Don't worry, head of the group, the brothers are ready." ”。
"Hmm!!"
Li Yunlong answered, and then raised his binoculars to continue to observe the devil squadron.
Sure enough, the devils of the island country, even if it is a grenadier shell, are reluctant to use it for shelling all the time.
In less than a minute, the devils, who first used grenadiers, stopped shelling.
Less than two minutes later, the Devil Heavy stopped firing.
Matsugami Saburo saw that Zhao Jiayu was blown up by the grenadier in all directions, but there was no firepower to fight back.
"Yo Xi!!"
Matsugami Saburo was still secretly relieved in his heart, after all, Li Yunlong was already a person who was extremely feared by the imperial army.
The Yamazaki Brigade was finally annihilated by the Independent Regiment, and the Sakata Wing was surrounded by Li Yunlong, the commander of the new regiment at the time, and the fight was shocking.
It is conceivable that Matsukami Saburo has no contempt for Li Yunlong.
"The first squad collected the corpses of the imperial army agents who died in the battle at Xicunkou, and the second squad and the third squad entered Zhaojiayu to see what they had gained."
Matsugami Saburo waved his hand and said: "The machine gunner, the grenadier flanks follow up and cover, and everything that can be taken away in Zhao Jiayu will be taken away." ”。
"If you can't take it away, before you withdraw from Zhaojiayu, you will burn it all down and completely destroy Zhaojiayu."
When the squadron adjutant Yuji Nonomiya heard the order, he immediately said, "Yes, squadron leader." ”。
"Hurry up, act!!"
At the sound of an order, the devil soldiers of the Matsugami squadron immediately launched an operation.
A squad was responsible for cleaning up the devil special forces of the Yamamoto Secret Service Team who had been killed, and the other two squads began to enter Zhaojiayu from the West Village Entrance!
Saburo Matsugami and Yuji Nonomiya, the adjutant of the squadron, also followed the two squads into Zhaojiayu together, but after the two devil commanders entered Zhaojiayu, it was dark and silent inside.
"Whew!!"
Suddenly, a gust of cold wind from the east of Zhaojiayu Village blew from the east, blowing Matsukami Saburo coldly.
"Baga, the slight chill in the early hours of the morning is really not fake."
Matsugami Saburo scolded Hachiga.
Suddenly, from a mountain on the north side of Zhaojiayu, there was a sudden bang.
A signal flare was suddenly hit in the sky above Zhao Jiayu and exploded.
"Bang !!"
Nonomiya Yu, the adjutant of the Matsugami squadron, had sharp eyes and said in horror: "Squadron leader, it's a signal flare!" ”。
