Chapter 358: Just a Battalion of Japs
"There is currently at least one battalion of Japanese invaders in our border area, and there are also more than a thousand puppet troops. It's quite a large force."
Liu Yang reported the current situation of the Japanese in the border area to Li Yunlong.
After hearing this, Li Yunlong nodded and asked the guard behind him for the map.
"Bring me the map."
Then they tore open the map and everyone began to look at it.
"Our main task now is to open up a route for the large force in the rear, so that we can attack Ji City as soon as possible. Your border area happens to be on the route of our troops."
"In this way... I can help you get rid of this wave of devils."
Li Yunlong said this with a smile on his face, and at the same time clapped his hands vigorously, making a crisp sound.
He looked at Liu Yang standing behind him with his bright eyes, and a smug look unconsciously appeared on his face.
"This... is decided like this?" Liu Yang widened his eyes and looked at Li Yunlong in astonishment.
Obviously, he was very surprised and unbelievable that Li Yunlong could formulate a battle plan so quickly.
You know, this time we are not facing ordinary enemies, but a whole battalion of Japanese devils!
That’s a huge team of more than a thousand people!
What’s even more terrible is that in addition to these more than a thousand Japanese soldiers who are as fierce as wolves and tigers, there are actually more than a thousand puppet soldiers who are helping the evil and fighting together.
How can we just start fighting with such a strong lineup?
Liu Yang couldn't help but take a deep breath, and said with a slightly trembling voice: "Captain Li, they are a whole battalion of devils, and their weapons and equipment are very sophisticated.
The military proficiency of those soldiers is also top-notch, and they should not be underestimated!"
As he spoke, he rubbed his hands nervously, and a thin layer of sweat even appeared on his forehead.
However, in the face of Liu Yang's concerns and doubts, Li Yunlong appeared extremely calm.
He stretched out his strong and powerful hand, gently patted Liu Yang's shoulder, and comforted him, "Don't worry, Comrade Xiao Liu.
Our independent regiment is no pushover, dealing with these few Japanese devils is no problem at all.
Don't be fooled by their large numbers and advanced equipment, but in my eyes, they are just a group of paper tigers.
As long as we use our tactics properly, coupled with the bravery and fearlessness of our soldiers, it will only be a matter of time before we destroy them."
After saying this, Li Yunlong smiled confidently, as if he had seen the dawn of victory.
What's more, there is a combat group as large as the special operations brigade behind them, so crushing them is not a problem at all.
"Is this true?"
"Hey! Look at what you said! It's absolutely fine!"
……
Li Yunlong led the independent regiment to the vicinity of Liuzhuang border area.
The team that went to investigate had already determined the location of the Japanese troops and also investigated their deployment.
"Colonel! We've raided so many villages in succession, but why haven't we seen a single Eighth Route Army soldier?"
A Japanese soldier looked at the Japanese captain, touched his head and asked.
"Ah... there are only a few of these Tubalu, and they only exist as a small force. As long as they don't cause too much trouble, it's actually not a big deal."
The captain stood straight, his sharp eyes like a hawk, slowly scanning every corner of the village, not missing any clues.
His face was solemn, but his tone was unusually calm as he spoke: "Search carefully and don't miss any suspicious spots."
Time passed minute by minute, and soon the soldiers who had been searching the village came out one after another.
One of the soldiers quickly ran up to the captain, stopped, saluted with a standard military salute, and reported loudly.
"Report to the Colonel! After our thorough and detailed search, we have not yet found any traces of Eighth Route Army activity!"
After hearing the report, the captain nodded slightly, a look of satisfaction on his face, and said, "Yoshi! In that case, everyone, pack up!"
However, despite a thorough search, no trace of the Eighth Route Army could be found, which made the captain feel confused and annoyed.
At this moment, the captain seemed to suddenly remember something, turned to look at his subordinate Sato beside him, and gave cold orders.
"Oh, by the way, Sato, please completely wipe out this village. There's no need for us to stay here anyway."
After saying that, the captain made a decisive and cold gesture, as if he wanted to wipe the entire village off the map.
Sato nodded without hesitation after receiving the order, and then gave instructions to the soldiers behind him.
The Japanese soldiers who were originally preparing to evacuate quickly took action. They rushed into the village like hungry wolves and drove the villagers away from house to house.
In a short while, all the men, women, young and old in the village were forcibly gathered in an open space in the village.
At this time, the faces of these innocent people were filled with fear and despair. They hugged each other tightly, trembling as they looked at the ferocious Japanese soldiers in front of them.
The Japanese soldiers, holding weapons, formed a circle and trapped the civilians in the middle, waiting for the captain's order to launch a bloody and brutal massacre.
"Mom...wuwuwu..."
"You bunch of damned little devils, I won't let you go even if I go to hell!"
"Let me go! You little Jap! I'll bite you to death!"
……
The Japanese army marched the civilians with bayonets at their command to a square.
The Japanese army had already taken over the area, and various machine guns were aimed at them.
Behind them was a huge deep pit.
Seeing this, everyone understood what kind of ending they would face.
Soon everyone at the scene stopped crying and shouting, and stared at the "devils" in front of them.
I wish I could rush up and bite them to death the next second.
"Ready! Load!"
"Crack!"
The sound of guns being loaded was like a demonic sound from hell, hanging over everyone's heads.
The Japanese captain stood aside, looking at his "work" with a smug look on his face as it was about to be completed.
The corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
"boom!"
At this critical moment, a gunshot broke the tense atmosphere.
A bullet came flying from a distance and hit one of the Japanese machine gunners directly in the head.
Blood spurted out instantly.
Everyone was stunned.
I didn't even react to what happened, it happened so quickly.
"Eighth Route Army! There are Eighth Route Army! Fight them!"
The first person to come to his senses immediately hid behind the cover and pointed his gun in the direction of the gunshot.
In an instant, the entire Japanese army was in chaos, and everyone hid behind shelters in panic.
But when some of the Japanese soldiers were about to raise their heads to look for targets, another gunshot was suddenly heard and the bullet hit the Japanese soldiers' heads directly.
"Sniper! Everyone, don't panic!"
The fear that comes from facing an enemy in the unknown is indescribable.
Everyone hid in the bunker and dared not show their heads, for fear that they would be the next target.
"Sasuke! Lead some soldiers to make a detour and go around!"
The Japanese captain immediately gave an order, and then one of the Japanese officers led his men to go around to the flank, attempting to attack the Eighth Route Army from the side.
But just as this group of Japanese soldiers were about to go around the rear, several mortar shells fell towards them at a rapid speed.
"Boom! Boom! Boom..."
Accompanied by several deafening explosions, shells fell like raindrops among the dense crowd, instantly triggering a series of earth-shaking explosions.
The huge shock wave, carrying with it scorching flames and thick smoke, rose into the sky, forming terrifying mushroom clouds.
In an instant, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and screams were heard. Before a large number of soldiers could react, they were blown away by the powerful force of the explosion, fell heavily to the ground, and were no longer able to make any sound.
Looking around, the battlefield was littered with mutilated limbs, broken weapons and equipment, and rivers of blood. The tragic scene was horrifying.
Witnessing this tragic scene, everyone was dumbfounded, their hearts filled with fear and disbelief.
Because in their impression, the Eighth Route Army has always been poorly equipped and rarely possesses advanced heavy weapons such as mortars.
Now, the fierce bombardment before them shattered their inherent cognition.
According to common sense, only the Eighth Route Army's troops at the battalion or regimental level or above could be equipped with mortars, and their number was extremely small.
It seems that the enemy forces coming to fight them this time are most likely regimental-level or even higher-level combat units of the Eighth Route Army!
"Not good! The situation is critical, we must report to headquarters immediately! We have encountered Eighth Route Army combat units at or above the regimental level! Requesting support!"
At this time, the Japanese captain woke up as if from a dream and quickly realized the seriousness of the situation.
His face was pale and his voice was trembling as he sent an urgent report to the Japanese headquarters via radio.
However, before he could finish his words, he heard "Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom..." and a series of more violent explosions rang out again.
Dozens of mortar shells streaked across the sky like meteors, roaring with death and pouring straight towards the Japanese positions.
Flames shot up into the sky, smoke filled the air, and the entire battlefield fell into chaos.
The continuous explosions made the Japanese troops here somewhat overwhelmed.
After all, judging by the current weapons and equipment, they must have encountered a unit above the regimental level, most likely at the division level!
"The intensity of this type of artillery shell use... is simply unbelievable. When did the Eighth Route Army become so wealthy?"
The Japanese captain was quite surprised at the density of the artillery fire and his understanding of the Eighth Route Army.
"Quick! Order the troops to retreat and defend! No unauthorized actions are allowed!"
"Yes!"
Soon, the Japanese troops began to gather together and concentrate their firepower to defend against the attack of the Eighth Route Army.
"Let the Imperial Army charge the Eighth Route Army first, and we'll follow closely to see what happens."
"Yes!"
At this time, the Japanese army immediately ordered the remaining puppet troops to attack the Eighth Route Army.
However, seeing the powerful firepower of the Eighth Route Army, they also felt a little hesitant.
"Damn it! These damned Japs don't dare to attack us themselves and ask us to?! Damn it!"
