Chapter 1160 Inviting Us to Hand-to-Hand Combat
At the Yellow River ferry, the Japanese Ono Regiment was crossing the river.
The first squadron had boarded the ferry and was heading for the right bank.
Captain Ono stood on the left bank of the Yellow River and laughed:
"The Chinese Eighth Route Army Special Operations Detachment is a bunch of fools. If they set an ambush here, our army will suffer heavy losses."
"Boom! Boom!"
Several artillery shells came like raindrops and landed in the pile of Japanese soldiers on the shore.
Ono, the regiment commander, quickly lay down on the spot and exclaimed:
"The Eighth Route Army still has Type 92 infantry guns?"
The chief of staff of the regiment said bitterly: "It must be the Eighth Route Army Special Operations Detachment. They robbed the Kaifeng arsenal."
Captain Ono slammed his fist on the ground and roared angrily: "Baka! The special operations team is so cunning."
"Da-da! Da-da-da!"
Dense machine gun bullets rained down here.
Countless Eighth Route Army soldiers rushed here in a fan shape.
Captain Ono climbed up, raised his command knife and shouted loudly:
"Fight back! Destroy the Eighth Route Army Special Operations Detachment."
The Japanese artillery set up cannons and machine guns and began to fight back.
The Eighth Route Army soldiers immediately retreated to a safe distance.
This style of fighting left the Japanese soldiers at a loss.
The Japanese regiment chief of staff smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, the regiment commander! Do we need to pursue?"
Captain Ono shook his head and said, "No! These Eighth Route Army soldiers are waiting for us to attack them."
At this time, the Japanese radio operator reported:
"Your Excellency, the Commander! The Okazaki Regiment is trapped by the Eighth Route Army in Toi Tunbao. We request support."
Ono Lieutenant Commander asked in confusion, "Aren't there three regiments attacking Toi Tunbao? Why did the Okazaki regiment ask for help from our army?"
The wing chief of staff suggested, "Let's ask about the situation."
Captain Ono shook his head and said, "No! The Eighth Route Army is behind our army and they can't reach Toi Tunbao at all. We should cross the river and return to Kaifeng. Go and organize people to cross the river."
"Hello!"
The wing chief of staff accepted the order reluctantly.
The Japanese radio operator reported: "Your Excellency, Commander! Do you want to reply to the Okazaki Regiment that our troops cannot go to rescue them?"
Captain Ono shook his head and said, "Ignore it! Just pretend you didn't receive it."
"Hello!"
The Japanese radio operator bowed and accepted the order.
The soil is rich and the fort is surrounded by dense forests on the south.
Gao Qiao Xiaozheng stared at Niu Feng through the scope of his sniper rifle and asked in confusion:
"Where on earth is this Eighth Route Army commander going?"
The Japanese sniper said hurriedly: "Sir! Don't worry about where he goes, just snipe him directly."
Takahashi Xiaozheng shook his head and said, "No! He must be going to a more secret place. Please wait a moment."
Another Japanese sniper echoed: "That's right! If the three of us snipe at the same time, he won't be able to escape."
Takahashi Komasa sneered, "This bespectacled commander of the Eighth Route Army runs pretty fast, but he can't be faster than a bullet."
On the mountain, Niu Feng was running hurriedly towards the hidden artillery position.
He didn't know that three Japanese soldiers led by Takahashi Komasa had already targeted him.
Walk about 30 meters further and you will see the artillery position in the forest ahead.
Niu Feng wiped the sweat from his forehead and was about to run over in one breath.
Xiaoliu bent over and ran over, shouting:
"Political Commissar! Get down quickly, there are Japanese snipers."
When Niu Feng heard this, he quickly lay down and rolled into the cat ear hole next to him.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" three sounds.
Three bullets shot past the position where Niu Feng and Xiao Liu had previously stood.
Xiao Liu rolled over in advance and came to Niu Feng's side, smiling:
"The captain spotted a Japanese sniper and asked me to come over to warn you."
Niu Feng said with lingering fear: "Fortunately, the detachment commander found you in time, otherwise I would be dead. No! We must quickly notify Zhang Fei to launch an artillery attack on the Japanese troops."
Xiao Liu smiled and said, "I have connected the phone line. The detachment leader has given orders to Director Zhang."
Niu Feng said worriedly: "But why hasn't it been launched yet?"
"Boom! Boom!"
In an instant, there was a rumble of cannon fire and the earth shook.
Countless artillery shells were fired from the artillery positions, directly attacking the Japanese at the foot of the mountain.
The Japanese soldiers of the Okazaki Regiment were crowded in the narrow entrance of the Doi Tunbao, and countless people were killed and wounded in an instant.
Okazaki Takeo looked at the Japanese soldiers who were blown beyond recognition by the shells and roared in anger:
"Baga! The Tubalu actually have artillery, quick! Take down their artillery positions."
He was like a fool dreaming. The Japanese soldiers were beaten so badly that they couldn't even raise their heads, so how could they attack?
At this time, the chief of staff of the Japanese regiment ran over and said anxiously:
"Your Excellency, Lieutenant Commander! Lieutenant Commander Ono has not responded yet."
Okazaki Takeo asked anxiously: "Where are the other squadron leaders? They are not planning to come to the rescue either."
The wing chief of staff shook his head and said, "They are all held back by the Eighth Route Army and can't get through."
Okazaki Takeo said bitterly, "A bunch of rubbish who watched the dying without helping! Radio operator! Send a telegram to the headquarters and request reinforcements."
"Hello!"
The Japanese radio operator hurriedly received the order.
He turned on the radio and found that the signal down there was very weak, so he carried the radio on his back and ran up the stairs, hoping to send a message from a higher place.
"Boom!" There was a loud noise.
A shell hit his short body, and both he and the radio were blown to pieces.
Seeing this, Okazaki Takeo roared loudly: "The whole army should charge forward like a pig and fight to the death with the Eighth Route Army."
The chief of staff of the regiment said anxiously, "Your Excellency, Commander of the regiment! Didn't Doihara Kenji say that he would send a sniper to assassinate the commander of the Eighth Route Army Special Operations Detachment? Should our army hold on and wait and see what happens?"
Okazaki Takeo shook his head and said, "Doihara Ken'er is more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything. He must have escaped."
At this time, fierce gunfire was heard from the direction of the dense forest in the south.
Hu Changsheng led the third brigade to attack the Japanese agents.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Doihara Kan'er slipped away without saying a word.
Gao Qiao Xiaozheng caught up with him and lied to him: "Your Excellency, Chief of Staff! I just successfully sniped and killed the leader of the Eighth Route Army Special Operations Detachment."
Doihara Ken'er was overjoyed and praised: "Yoshi! Our trip was not in vain. This general will definitely ask for credit for you and me from the headquarters."
Gao Qiao Xiaozheng didn't expect that he was such a shameless and greedy person, so he deliberately teased him:
"Head of the Agency! The Okazaki Regiment has entered the Doi Fort and is about to win."
"real?!"
Doihara Xian'er was so shocked that he stopped in his tracks and said:
"Xiao Zheng! Take the agents over to help immediately."
Takahashi Komasa asked weakly, "Chief! Aren't you going with us?"
Doihara Ken'er waved his hand and said, "I will supervise the battle. Anyone who dares to retreat will be killed without mercy. Go!"
"Hello!"
Takahashi Komasa accepted the order reluctantly and rushed towards the gate of Doi Tunbao with the remaining one hundred agents.
Doihara Ken'er saw him walking away and sneered, "What a fool you are, trying to fool this general. With the sound of the gun, Okazaki Takeo is almost finished."
After saying this, he jumped on his horse and galloped towards the south.
Toi Tunbao, the command post of the special operations detachment.
Liu Zhengxiong rushed in, snatched Xiang Chu's water cup and drank it all in one gulp, and said happily:
"Captain! Political Commissar! The Japanese Okazaki Regiment has run out of ammunition and invites us to a hand-to-hand fight."
Xiang Chu said angrily: "There's no point in fighting him hand-to-hand. We'll just shoot him with a heavy machine gun and kill him."
Niu Feng echoed, "That's right! The Japs have no ammunition, but we have plenty of it."
"Yes! Kill all the devils."
Liu Zhengxiong hurriedly took the order and ran out.
Xiang Chu heard the fierce gunfire from the bottom of the mountain and shook his head:
"This guy came in just to ask for water."
