Chapter 200 Special Forces Attack
Night fell quickly. In Lizhuang, more than a hundred miles away from Kaifeng, a group of special forces soldiers with oil paint on their faces were busy.
The special forces team moved ten Broadsword mines from an armored vehicle two miles away and then inserted them on the side of a four-meter-wide road.
A detonating wire extended to the flat ground fifty meters away.
"Captain, we're ready. Just wait for the Japs to show up!"
"Okay, remember, run after the fight! No one is allowed to fight to the bitter end!"
At this time, the 35th Infantry Regiment of the 219th Division and the 35th Armored Vehicle Squadron, coming from Kaifeng, began to advance rapidly towards Jincheng, and a search squadron of the vanguard had already entered Lizhuang.
It has to be said that the Japanese were very vigilant and remained alert in the rear.
About a hundred Japanese soldiers spread out and searched forward from both sides of the road.
A sharp-eyed Japanese soldier shone his flashlight on a dark green Broadsword mine.
"Lieutenant Daejeon, we found an iron box!"
Lieutenant Datian, the leader of the search squadron, came trotting over with a tortoise box in his hand and squatted down. He thought it was a detonating mine and was about to dismantle it.
But he didn't expect to see an electric wire, and a breath of death surrounded him.
"Baga! Get down!"
Just as the Japanese soldiers were looking at each other, Wang Ming also roared in a low voice.
"Damn it! The Japs have learned their lesson! Detonate!"
The Broadsword mine right in front of Lieutenant Datian blew his head into pieces.
Nine Broadsword mines exploded in succession, directly killing half of the Japanese squadron.
The special forces' weapons also fired continuously, eliminating the Japanese soldiers holding torches and flashlights one by one.
The experienced sergeant immediately fell to the ground and shouted:
"Turn off the lights and torches! As long as there is no light, their sharpshooters can't hit us!"
The Japanese soldiers quickly turned off their flashlights and extinguished their torches, thinking that they were safe, and lay on the ground gasping for breath.
Without light, ordinary troops would have no way to shoot, but for the special operations squadron wearing night vision goggles, these big worms lying on the ground were like clods of earth on fixed targets, and they could be shot one by one.
The Japanese soldiers listened to the crackling gunshots and secretly mocked the Chinese for panicking and wasting bullets, until the hot brains of the Japanese soldiers next to them jumped onto their faces, and then they realized their own stupidity.
"Baga, it's so dark, how can the enemy see clearly?"
But the reality is so cruel, bullets hit their heads one after another.
The special forces in the darkness were like the Black and White Impermanence who were taking lives, harvesting the heads of the Japanese with bullets.
Some Japanese soldiers could no longer hold back. Their fear of death and darkness had reached its limit, so they started firing indiscriminately into the darkness, regardless of the target, as long as they emptied the magazines.
For a moment, the entire road near Lizhuang was in chaos, and the Japanese's Type 99 light machine guns also got involved, firing indiscriminately.
In the end, these bullets were either swallowed by the darkness or hit the Japanese soldiers.
Seeing that the beating was almost over, Wang Ming pressed the throat-vibrator intercom.
"Everyone retreat, head to the next target point!"
Leaving the Japanese soldiers rolling on the ground, the special operations squadron quickly ran to the woods where the armored reconnaissance vehicle was hidden, and then quickly marched towards the next target point.
Hearing the gunshots, the late-arriving Japanese dared not act rashly. Instead, they concentrated the 35th Tank Squadron's small tanks and carried out indiscriminate bombardment on the surrounding hillsides and plains.
The Japanese soldiers of the 219th Infantry Regiment waited trembling in fear until dawn, and they were terrified when they saw the Japanese soldiers who were shot into sieves by the Broadsword mines.
What's even more terrifying is yet to come. Those Japanese soldiers who were killed by bullets were basically shot in the face or head.
Of the more than one hundred Japanese soldiers in the entire search squadron, only a dozen were injured, and the rest were killed in hell.
"Reporting to the commander of the wing, based on the enemy's firepower and the fact that the search squadron was almost completely wiped out, it is estimated that the enemy has at least one regiment! No less than 1,500 people!"
The commander of the 219th Regiment, Taiyu Takeshita, was extremely angry.
"Baka, how did a regiment of 1,500 people move to the heart of the occupied area? Also, find out the other people's numbers immediately!"
What made Takeshita Taiyong most angry was not the loss of troops and generals, but the fact that he didn't even know the enemy's number after fighting for so long.
To be on the safe side, the 219th Regiment and the 35th Tank Squadron only marched during the day.
Moreover, wherever they arrived, not only did they ask the local garrison or security team to clear out suspicious targets around the highway in advance, but they also sent out search teams to conduct the search.
As a result, the speed slowed down significantly.
Kenjiro Kei Miura, who was far away in Jincheng, was so anxious that he kept walking around the headquarters. He repeatedly sent telegrams to Yoshio Shinozuka, asking him to put pressure on the 219th Regiment and the 37th Tank Squadron.
However, the 219th Division, where the 35th Regiment was located, did not belong to the st Army, so Yoshio Shinozuka could only try his best to mediate through his own influence, but with little effect.
In order to prevent the independent column from entering Jincheng and launching a surprise attack, Jincheng has been closed for many days, and all kinds of supplies in the city are beginning to run out.
In time, before the independent column could cause chaos, they themselves would lose their combat effectiveness due to lack of supplies.
"Baga! From now on, the Chinese people's rations will be reduced by half! We will fully supply them to the Imperial Army!"
Kei Miura Kenjiro was desperate, and when Wang Ming, who was punishing the Japanese soldiers, found that the Japanese vanguard was difficult to defeat, he began to change his strategy and hit the Japanese in the ass!
The special forces team first ambushed far away. When the Japanese marching troops had almost passed, their sentries along the way would be withdrawn, and then the special forces team would pounce.
By using 50mm platoon-level mortars and large-caliber sniper rifles to take a few bites of the Japanese's tail, each time they could kill or injure hundreds of them.
By the time the Japanese came to their senses and turned back to chase the special forces, they had already boarded the armored vehicles and fled.
So the Japanese changed their strategy again, strengthened the flank defense, and captured local people to step on mines in front of the team.
"Damn, these conscienceless devils!"
"Captain, what should we do next?"
Since the special forces' attack was to slow down the enemy's support, Wang Ming left behind a platoon of soldiers and light weapons, and the remaining two platoons of soldiers took armored vehicles and detoured to Jincheng to monitor Jincheng again and look for opportunities to fight.
The platoon of soldiers who stayed behind marched faster than the Japanese troops, then took over important transportation hubs by scouting and ambushing, and destroyed bridges, tunnels, and roads along the way.
Fifty kilometers southeast of Jiaozuo, there is a small village called Gaomiao Village, next to which is a reed river.
The river is not wide, only about four or five meters wide. There is a stone bridge built in the late Qing Dynasty across the river, which is just wide enough for the Japanese tanks to pass.
Therefore, a few days in advance, the local garrison squadron and puppet troops, a total of more than 120 people, "cleared" Gaomiao Village...
