On a halfway mountainside diagonally opposite Luohan Cave, Jiang Hong, head of the Dahongshan Guerrilla Independent Brigade, paid close attention to the movements of the Japanese special combat team, and from Wang Sanxi's shouting of "beware of poison gas bombs" and the sound of gunfire and violent explosions, he realized that after all the preparations, there was still an important link missing, that is, he had not made good preparations for anti-poisoning. He did not expect that the Japanese special combat team would openly violate international conventions and use poison gas bombs, which was simply dehumanizing. Besides, it was expected that the whole brigade did not have so many gas masks. Fortunately, he was worried in advance that he had been dumpled by the devil and had withdrawn all the people in the Luohan Cave, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. So he quickly ordered the squadrons to wet towels, hats, jacket sleeves with water or urine, and make improvised anti-poison equipment. When the Japanese special combat team slid down from the cliff and rushed into the Luohan Cave at a very fast speed, Jiang Hong personally fired a red signal flare.

When the red signal flare rose from the night sky, the machine gun squadron's A Dechun sealed the entrance of the Luohan Cave with powerful firepower, covering the second squadron to move closer to the entrance of the cave, intending to catch the devils who entered the cave in the urn. However, within three minutes of blockade, the machine-gun position was hit by the artillery fire of the devils who remained on the top of the mountain, and it was also attacked by poison gas shells.

Taking advantage of this moment, Masao Sato led the special combat team members to rush out. Instead of climbing the cliff to retreat, they conceitedly pounced on the opposite position. These special combat personnel were extremely high-quality, quick in action, not only good marksmanship, but also particularly accurate with grenadiers, coupled with the support of artillery fire from the top of the mountain, for a time caused a lot of casualties to the besieging 2nd Squadron.

Jiang Hong gave an order to the first squadron hidden behind Zhaigongyan through the intercom: "Jiang Tao, you must kill the devil artillery position Ge Laozi who stayed on the mountain ridge as soon as possible at all costs, repeat!" ”

"Yes! At all costs, kill the devil artillery position Ge Laozi who stayed on the mountain as soon as possible! After Jiang Tao answered, he immediately gave an order: "Action!" As soon as the words fell, all the soldiers of the first squadron rushed to the devil artillery position on the mountain like leopards descending from the mountain, and a duel between masters began.

According to the plan of the deputy commander Jiang Tao, the first squadron hidden on the mountain ridge should take advantage of the night to complete the encirclement of the devil's artillery position, and then destroy the devil's artillery position in one fell swoop. However, before they could get close to the devil's artillery position, they were discovered by the devils who were lying in ambush on the mountain, and a row of submachine gun bullets swept in, and the five or six fighters who rushed to the front fell to the ground, and the rest of the personnel lay on the spot.

Jiang Tao's eyes quickly shot a long shot towards the place where the flames were spewing out, and the two devils fell down in response. The rest of the devils reacted extremely quickly, and their bodies had already rolled out sideways at the same time as the gunshot rang out, and in the process of rolling, they did not forget to shoot again and again, and several soldiers were shot. Jiang Tao was furious, since the sneak attack failed, then attacked. He took out a grenade, pulled out the latch, slammed it on the ground, counted silently for three seconds, and then threw it violently, the grenade exploded in the air above the devils, and two more devils screamed and fell into the cliff on the left.

Jiang Tao saw that the grenade had an effect, and ordered in a low voice: "Don't save bullets for the machine gun team, suppress the devil's firepower for Lao Tzu, and the bomb throwing team will use grenades to blow up his turtle son's like me." ”

So two Czech light machine guns, plus more than a dozen submachine guns, roared angrily, even though the other devil had unique skills, but he couldn't raise his head in the face of powerful firepower. The bombing team struck, and more than 30 grenades exploded over the devils, and the scorching sharp shrapnel made the Japanese special combat members of a small group lying in ambush at the entrance to the wall-hung path that entered Tuanyuping have nowhere to hide, and the explosion caused them to cry wolves, and broken guns and limbs flew all over the sky. Taking advantage of the fact that the smoke of the explosion had not cleared, Jiang Tao led the soldiers of the first squadron to open the way with two light machine guns in front, and the soldiers in the back rushed towards the artillery position of the devils with all American-made M-3 submachine guns.

At this moment, the special combat personnel on the devil's artillery position were adjusting the muzzle of the gun and preparing to fire poison gas bombs on the mountain ridge, but it was already too late, with the wild fire of two light machine guns and more than a dozen submachine guns, the 10 devil's special combat personnel on the artillery position were suddenly beaten into a hornet's nest, and some soldiers with bayonets rushed forward, and each of the dead devil corpses made up a few knives, saying that it was to make the bayonets red, and the next time they fought with the devils with bayonets could increase their spirituality.

Someone asked Jiang Tao afterwards, why didn't you "bombard with grenades first, and then rush forward with machine guns" as usual in this attack on the devil's artillery position? Jiang Tao replied: "The devil's mortar is a good thing, it's a pity to blow it up with a grenade." Besides, fortunately I didn't use a grenade to blow it up this time, if I triggered the devil's poison gas bomb, and I didn't hurt myself! ”

Nearly 100 personnel of the Second Squadron were suppressed in a small river ditch on the side of the Pingnei Mountain, covering their mouths and noses with icy towels and not daring to raise their heads, let alone take a big breath.

Masao Sato, who had already rushed out of the Luohan Cave, laughed wildly and led more than 50 special operators wearing gas masks to attack the machine gun position and command post on the opposite side of the cave. In his opinion, the command post of the Chinese army would definitely collapse after being hit by poison gas bombs, and now rushing over to destroy their command post and capture their commander alive is a matter of being captured. However, what he did not expect was that less than ten minutes later, there were dense gunfire and grenade explosions on the ridge, as well as the shouts of the Chinese army and the screams of their own special combat members, and the artillery fire supporting them became mute in a blink of an eye.

What Sato Masao did not expect was that although the poison gas bomb that had just been fired brought a devastating blow to the machine gun position of the Chinese army, the north wind was howling in the tsuba, and the wind direction was facing the direction of their attack.

At this moment, the sound of heavy machine gun fire and mortar fire sounded in the direction of the command post of the army in China, and the shells exploded in his ranks, and soon several special combat personnel flew into the sky, and the dust kicked up almost buried him. Just as he was getting up from the dirt, the mortar on the ridge rang out again, and he was overjoyed, but in the blink of an eye he was saddened, and the shell did not fly to the command post and artillery position of the Chinese army, but fell beside him, and he was once again buried by the dirt that was lifted.

"Yaga!" Annoyed, Masao Sato slammed out of the dirt, tore off the gas mask on his head, picked up the submachine gun in his hand and shot at the artillery position directly in front of him, shouting: "Pick Keyi!" Then he led his special forces to launch a decisive attack on an opponent who was several times their size.

At this moment, Jiang Hong was standing in the command post and observing the battle situation on the position with a telescope. As soon as the battle began, Jiang Hong felt that this was an unusual team, the response was too sensitive, all kinds of tactical movements were skillful, and the actual combat experience was rich, not only were all of them special marksmen, the grenadiers were very accurate and accurate, and their psychological quality was extremely stable; although they were attacked by artillery fire and surrounded by heavy troops, they were not afraid, as if they were in a no-man's land. Under the strafing fire of the heavy machine guns, I saw that they reacted almost synchronously, rolling from one crater to another in different postures, and in the rolling, they returned fire again and again, and several soldiers on the artillery position were shot and fell. In contrast, although the guerrilla independent brigade formed by itself has many capable people with a skill, there is a big gap between the two in terms of their overall quality and individual combat ability. In today's battle, if it is not to occupy the right time and place, lay a net in advance, fight more against less, wait for work at ease, and face this strong enemy armed to the teeth, everyone can be a strong enemy with one as ten, and it is really difficult to say whether it can win in the end.

Thinking of this, Jiang Hong ordered: "Bombard Lao Tzu fiercely and drive these turtle sons into the mine array and wild boar pit." ”

So there was another explosion of mortar shells, and while Sato Masao was agile in attacking forward, he looked left and right to observe the situation of his team, and he sadly found that there were fewer and fewer special combat personnel following him, and many of them were seriously wounded. However, the matter has not yet reached the last step, and he will not admit defeat, and experience has proved many times that as long as the special operations detachment is there and as long as he persists, there may be miracles.

Just when Masao Sato was expecting a miracle to happen again, another set of mortar shells fell behind him, he rolled forward with agility, and suddenly felt that there was no support where his body fell, and when he reacted, he had fallen into a trap several meters deep, and the long bamboo stick penetrated his legs, his abdomen, and his left arm, he almost fainted in pain, he shouted loudly, but no one around answered, but there was a dense sound of gunfire and shouting in the distance, outside the trap, At first, there were sporadic shots of return fire, and after a while, there was a deathly silence.

Sato Masaki finished thinking about it, did his life's work fall in such an unknown ravine? The shouts of killing around are getting closer and closer, and they are getting closer and closer, so do you become a prisoner of war for the people of China? No! Absolutely not! How could the Imperial Japanese Army become a prisoner of the Shina people! He looked at the starry night sky with infinite regret, then closed his eyes in pain, and with great difficulty, pulled the grenade on his body with his right hand......

Three days later, Naojiro Amaya, commander of the 40th Division of the Japanese Army, received a battle report: "The Japanese special operations detachment failed in the decapitation operation of the 5th Division of the New Fourth Army. After listening to the report, he sat down in his chair like a thousand arrows piercing his heart. He called Masao Kurokawa, the head of the Special High Division, and learned that Tuanyuping, where the headquarters of the 5th Division of the New Fourth Army was located, provided by two undercover agents, was actually not the headquarters of the 5th Division, but the base camp of the Dahongshan Guerrilla Independent Brigade. This time, Masao Sato did not listen to his suggestions and instructions, and insisted on carrying out a beheading operation against the 5th Division of the New Fourth Army, completely ignoring the Dahongshan Guerrilla Independent Brigade.

Annoyed is annoyed, this revenge must be avenged, because the formation of this special operations detachment made Major General Naojiro Amaya pay too much energy, and now he was easily defeated by a guerrilla force in China, and the whole army was wiped out, and he must return this great shame and humiliation.
