Zhou Changfeng was awakened in a dream, and he especially did not like to dream during rest during his mission, as this would significantly reduce the quality of his already small sleep.

He shook his head slightly, a little swollen, and then rubbed his eyes as he stepped out of his tent.

The contingent of the 1st Marine Regiment was now camped in the hills of Mori Town, Kakegawa City, and less than ten miles to the west was the boundary of Aichi Prefecture, the sphere of influence of the Americans.

Zhou Changfeng looked up, the night was still there, the eastern sky had just revealed the white of the fish's belly, because of the mist, the humidity was very high, and it felt like the tide was all over the body.

However, Kakegawa City has long hours of sunshine and a suitable climate, making it the largest producer of green tea in Japan. When the sun rises, the mist will soon dissipate.

In the big tent where the headquarters was located, Zhao Hanfeng handed a telegram to Zhou Changfeng, who opened the curtain and walked in.

"They telegraphed that they were ready to do it immediately, but they were not sure if it would go well."

"I wish them all the best, we need to do our own thing first." Zhou Changfeng stared at the map spread on the aluminum folding table, stretched out his index finger and nodded, "Breakfast will be prepared now, the reconnaissance team will set off at six o'clock, the main force will leave at seven o'clock, and the other deployments will come as planned." Got it? ”

"Understood!"

Zhao Hanfeng, Fan Qijin, Han Yi and others all responded with their fists in unison, and then dispersed to perform their duties.

As the sleeping soldiers were woken up one after another, the camp soon came alive, mingling with the sound of packing things, the crackling of the campfire, and the gurgling of boiling water.

And at this moment, in the straight line distance of Guanyin Mountain, which is only more than 20 miles......

From time to time, a few pleasant bird chirpings were heard in the mountains and forests, and the two Resistance soldiers who were standing guard on a ridge were listless, chatting without a word, in order to dispel the drowsiness for a while.

"Whoa—whoa—"

The slight sound of the bolts breaking through the air is so slight that it is almost completely masked by the background noise of the natural environment.

Several crossbow arrows flew out at high speed containing more than a hundred joules of kinetic energy, and the sharp crossbow arrows easily pierced the clothing and torso.

The arrows used for silent assassination are highly dangerous, with hollow heads and filled with a mixture of tetrodotoxin extract and Kaempfera sodium.

Under the action of the negative pressure principle, the highly toxic mixture is injected automatically. The first reaction of the two sentry guards was as if they had been hit by something, and then the pain hit, but as soon as they opened their mouths, they subconsciously shouted halfway, and quickly lost consciousness in the next second.

The limp body fell down from the ridge, lying on its stomach, and several figures who stepped forward quickly dragged it aside, and stabbed it neatly into the neck with a knife by the way.

In a few moments, a series of figures appeared from behind, one after another running briskly to the path ahead.

Cai Zhichen glanced at the two corpses, then looked up at the sky, and ordered: "There is more than a mile to the training ground, go around and go straight to the headquarters, the rest is not important." ”

Because it is arranged according to the terrain of the valley, the overall layout of the base area of the resistance army in Guanyin Mountain is an irregular acute triangle, and there are training grounds, warehouses for storing materials, and barracks for ordinary soldiers.

As is common sense, the perimeter around the latter two is tighter, while the training ground is more relaxed, making it the best route to go straight to the Yellow Dragon, albeit with a longer route.

As the main force continued to penetrate, the 30 or so officers of the 3rd Squadron broke away from the main force and ascended to a low mound on the right-hand side, where they were responsible for providing flank fire support for the entire operation.

Although it is not clear whether there are enemy troops here, it is common sense that there will definitely be a guard post at such a commanding height.

One hundred and four officers and men of the 1st and 2nd Teams, as well as the reconnaissance team, who were tasked with direct raids, began to venture through the open training ground.

This is undoubtedly quite bold, because once discovered, this empty flat ground is difficult to find even cover, which is equivalent to being exposed to the opponent's fire.

And here, the officers and men of the third team quickly ascended to the mound.

Except for the encounter with two enemy soldiers carrying wooden barrels down to fetch water, the "mountaineering trip" of several minutes was particularly smooth.

There wasn't even a serious sentry on the top, the three regiments sat on the ground dozing, and the rest of the dozen or so enemy soldiers were resting, snoring one after another.

After all, they are located at the back of the side of the base area, and there are several sentry posts on the periphery, so there is no need to worry that someone will come to this place quietly.

Their task was to serve as a defensive fulcrum, to defend the right flank of the base area, which meant that it was completely too late to move when the fighting broke out outside.

Seeing blood with a knife is not something that can make people nervous for the officers and soldiers of the Yiluan Division for a long time, and "killing people like numbness" in addition to the original intention, it seems to mean that people are numb?

The so-called practice makes perfect, the angle, direction, and strength of the knife are becoming more and more sophisticated - the backhand strangled the neck hard, and the knife stabbed into the sunken cartilage under the back of the opponent's head, and the sharp sharp blade went straight into the brain!

The eyes of the enemy soldier who were stabbed were wide to the extreme, his body twitched, and he even kicked his leg for a moment before he died.

Heart-piercing? Cut your throat? In fact, it can't kill instantly, it will leave the other party with a chance to struggle for the death ranging from a few seconds to tens of seconds, which is very troublesome.

Crushing the brain directly from the back of the head is far more deadly, safe, and fast than other operations, and it does not bleed much, so it is not easy to get your hands dirty.

While the first enemy soldier was defeated, the rest of the Ming soldiers also rushed forward with their swords.

The price of paralysis was the unexplained death, and the Resistance soldiers who had been attacked in the early hours of the morning had no chance to react, and more than a dozen corpses with body temperatures still left on the mound were scattered on the ground like abandoned dolls.

"Tut-tut, this concealment is quite in place," one of the second lieutenants exclaimed, "probably with the guidance of a former regular army officer on the spot." ”

In front of the officers and men was a fairly well-camouflaged position, with shelters, communication trenches, and machine-gun bunkers scattered and quite standard, which could be described as "beautiful."

In addition to a few Lewis light machine guns and Vickers heavy machine guns, there was an Erlikon Ms-cal.70 20mm anti-aircraft gun on the left and right sides of the position, which was a surprise.

The body barrel is 70 times the diameter, the rate of fire is 300 rounds per minute, the ammunition is fed with a 20×101mm magazine, and the total weight is 163kg including the tripod.

This was transferred with the remnants of the Resistance? Or did you buy it from a nearby merchant?

The officers and men did not have time to think about these inconsequential matters, and they directly used long-handled iron tongs to cut the iron seal of the wooden ammunition box and removed the ammunition from it.

Before the 34-type anti-aircraft guns were put into production and installed, the Ming army was equipped with many Erlikon cannons, and to this day, the Ming army still loves this kind of lightweight small-caliber cannon, and regards it as a panacea for "fighting aircraft with anti-aircraft shooting from above, and shooting everything from below".

The officers and men of the Yiluan Division operated the two cannons without any difficulty, inserted the magazines, loaded them with a rotary wrench, and shook the turntables of the high and low machines and the steering machine!

The slender barrel of the cannon, which had been pointed diagonally towards the sky, was flattened, and even tilted slightly in the direction of the enemy camp.

The other three Lewis light machine guns and one Vickers heavy machine gun were also plugged in and hung with canvas cartridges, and the muzzles of the black holes pointed straight into the distance.

Sniper rifles? Machine guns and machine guns, who's going to use those things?

More than 100 officers and soldiers below cautiously walked through the empty training ground, during which Cai Zhichen only felt scared, and he had never been so nervous.

When a piece of wooden barracks and brick houses came into view, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It was at this point that the battle broke out - six or seven patrolling enemy soldiers impartially bumped into the Yiluan Division's team as they approached the camp.

"Bang! Bang! Da Da Da -"

Short, dense gunfire erupted, and a barrage of 9.6mm pistol and 7.36mm rifle rounds killed the hapless enemy before they could even remove their rifles from behind.

"Do it! Left and right side by side, on! Cai Zhichen gave the order sharply, and at the same time took out the flare gun and pulled the trigger towards the sky.

A red flare dragged the tail smoke into the air, which was very conspicuous.

It just so happened that the sun jumped out of the horizon, and the first rays of morning light of the day were sprinkled on the earth.

At the headquarters of this camp, Hideo Inoue, who was half-asleep and half-awake, was also awakened.

Hideo Inoue, 64, is undoubtedly a veteran general, having fought in the Great War that decided the fate of the two countries more than 40 years ago, and has since risen through the ranks of the local army of the Anongtsu domain.

Before this, he had actually returned to his hometown for several years, but now that he was faced with such a situation, many people asked him to go out of the mountain, and he took over the mess after hesitation, and committed to organizing a resistance army that could coordinate all parties with the secret support of the Americans, and reverse the current situation of fighting separately.

There are more than 2,000 resistance troops in the base area of Guanyin Mountain, but there are only more than 1,300 troops excluding miscellaneous workers, which is the result of absorbing the remnants of more than a dozen resistance armies.

Although the number of troops is not small, because of the absorption of other forces, there will inevitably be power struggles and unconvinced, for example, some people think that they should at least serve as a squadron leader when they bring dozens of people, but they are only divided into squad leaders, so they are dissatisfied.

So Hideo Inoue was also very busy during this time, and he knew how serious the consequences of internal instability were.

At this time, the sound of gunfire from not far away rang out again, extremely dense, accompanied by explosions and shouts one after another.

"What's the situation?! Where is the enemy?! ”

He asked one of the guards aloud, but the latter didn't know and could only keep shaking his head.

Awakened by the loud noise, the Resistance soldiers crawled to the ground, grabbed their rifles, and ran out of the house.

The officers and officers shouted at the top of their throats, trying their best to make their terrified and dazed subordinates obey the command.

On the mound behind the camp, the tall lieutenant who led the group stood upright, he observed the situation in the distance with binoculars, and then ordered to concentrate fire in the direction of the barracks and block the enemy reinforcements.

"Knock-knock-knock-"

In the roar, a 20×101mm high-explosive bomb jumped out of the muzzle at a muzzle velocity of more than 800 meters per second, carrying more than 30,000 joules of kinetic energy and flying into the distance.

The two Erlikon anti-aircraft guns deployed on the flanks were supposed to be used to defend the base area, but now they have become a big killer weapon for the officers and men of the Yiluan Division to slaughter the resistance.

Any meaningful target was mercilessly bombarded, and tents, houses, stables, caves, storehouses, etc., were covered in a barrage of shells.

Dozens of panicked enemy soldiers were rushing to reinforce them, but they were suddenly enveloped in dense firepower, and 20mm high-explosive shells mixed with 6.5mm machine gun shells rained down like drops.

What is it like to be hit on the torso by a cannonball that contains a huge amount of kinetic energy?

The upper and lower bodies seemed to be torn in half by invisible hands, and the internal organs fell like a piece of rotten flesh, the broken clothes flew apart, and crimson blood and body fluids splattered on the ground.

A little farther away, two Resistance soldiers wielding a Lewis light machine gun were desperately firing at the approaching 100 Yiluan soldiers, but were soon rained down by seven or eight shells from an Erlikon anti-aircraft gun.

"Hahahaha, it's so painful!"

"Grass! It's so enjoyable! ”

"Oh my god, it's like a fucking dream!"

Such a condescending one-sided slaughter with more powerful weapons is too enjoyable, and this state of life and death in power makes people feel as if they have become the masters of the world.

The more than 30 officers and men who were red-eyed were extremely excited, completely forgetting that anti-aircraft guns in actual combat should not fire continuously for such a long time, because in order to control the weight, the light anti-aircraft guns of the army model will not use thickened barrels and water-cooled sleeves.

The base of the barrel had taken on a bewitching dark red, and the shells fired had gradually become chaotic and scattered.

One of the anti-aircraft guns had just fired two shots after replacing the previous magazine, and suddenly, the inside of the gun body exploded!

Several soldiers who were intoxicated by the "killing spree" were thrown to the ground, their bodies scarred by broken parts and fragments, and the barrels of the bombed guns twisted and distorted.

Because the Erlikon anti-aircraft gun adopts a special automatic principle of "forward shock fire", the shell fed into the chamber will first move forward for a certain distance before firing, thereby canceling out part of the recoil, while the barrel in a red-hot state makes the safety mechanism of the shell deformed and fails.

Despite the small surprises, the big picture is decided.

Most of the resistance forces were at a loss, and the chaos made coordination even more difficult. Several groups of people who came to help in a hurry were hit by heavy fire, and they suffered heavy casualties.

On the front, more than 100 officers and men of the Yiluan Division acted quickly and decisively, and the combination of light weapons such as Type 34 submachine guns, Type 20 automatic guns, and Type 36 semi-automatic rifles made the resistance soldiers who hurriedly blocked them powerless.

After throwing a grenade, one corporal rolled forward to the half-collapsed low wall for cover, and then rushed into a brick house in front of him with two other soldiers.

Four or five Resistance officers who looked like staff officers were arguing fiercely, and when they saw someone breaking in, they were shocked and immediately drew their pistols.

It was just a fan of "dada", and in the blink of an eye, these people were all knocked to the ground.
