Chapter 71: Walking Into a Trap
The moon was hanging high in the dark night sky, and Yang Village was silent at around 2 a.m.
In order not to disturb the rest of the people who had been busy all day, the soldiers on the sentry posts would try not to make any noise unless they encountered special circumstances.
The comrades on the mobile sentry posts would also be as careful as possible to avoid accidentally alarming the dogs in the village.
It must be said that this elite force of the devils had the capital to be arrogant. The location they chose was not far from Yang Village, but the soldiers of the independent regiment did not notice that there was a group of enemies hiding in the darkness not far away.
Looking at the torches flashing from time to time in the distance, Yamamoto Ikki waved to the first special operations team behind him, and their captain immediately stepped forward.
Looking at his subordinates, Yamamoto Ikki's voice was very low, but his eyes revealed the madness and bloodlust that could not be concealed, as if Daxia Bay was already in their pockets.
"Take your people to scout the target cliff and determine if there is any risk of exposure during our climb.
If everything is normal, take your people up first, and remember to send a team member back to report."
"Remember! Before the battle, no one is allowed to speak Japanese!"
"Remember, No Japanese!"
"Hi!"
After giving the order, Yamamoto Ichimu did not return, but changed his position to continue observing the enemies in Yang Village. The surroundings were as quiet as if he had never spoken.
Knowing that this mission was very important to his captain, the leader of the first group, Higashiyama Hisasaku, tightly grasped the submachine gun in his hand. As a loyal follower of Yamamoto Ichimu, he was also very eager to win.
The leader of the first combat group selected several agents who were the best trained on weekdays. With the cover of darkness and the cover of the mountains and forests, they sneaked towards the cliff not far away without making any sound.
Even for a short distance, these devils strictly followed the usual standards.
There was a soldier on each wing and in front to explore the way, as cautious as a black panther in hunting mode.
After reaching the bottom of the cliff, he sent his team members to disperse around to check the vision here.
These little devils were very efficient. In less than five minutes, they all returned to Higashiyama Hisasaku to report the reconnaissance situation.
After summarizing, they concluded after a brief discussion that as long as they stayed close to the mountain on the west side during the climb, they could avoid all the enemy sentries they found.
However, there are also disadvantages to this, that is, only five people can climb at the same time, which takes some time.
However, Yangcun is only two kilometers away from Daxia Bay. If the speed is fast enough, it will not even be dawn before the decapitation mission is completed.
After determining the current strategy, Higashiyama Hisasaku asked an agent to return to inform Yamamoto Ikki that there was no problem with the plan, and he climbed up the cliff one step ahead to open the way for the large army.
He used special equipment to launch the hook connected to the climbing rope. The first attempt did not succeed, and the hook was stably fixed somewhere above after another attempt.
After everything was foolproof, Higashiyama Hisasaku pulled the rope and stepped on the cliff to climb up quickly.
This was no different from the usual training, and the whole process went smoothly.
After reaching the top, he did not rush to climb up, but carefully exposed his eyes to check whether there were any enemy sentries around.
After all, the level of alertness in Yang Village made them realize that the enemy was not simple. In order to ensure the smooth progress of the mission, Higashiyama Hisaku is now focusing on stability.
He carefully observed the surrounding environment. Although the top of the cliff was somewhat open and there was nothing to cover.
But there was no trace of any enemy within 500 meters. He judged that there was no alert or ambush here, so he signaled to the team members waiting below that they could come up.
At the same time, Yamamoto Ikki in the back received the news sent back by Higashiyama Hisaku. When he learned that there was no accident in the plan, he showed a creepy smile.
The enemy really knew nothing about special operations. Although they did a good job in conventional defense, these Eighth Route Army soldiers with little strategic vision did not realize that they would not play cards according to the routine.
Special operations, playing is intelligence.
Thinking of this, Yamamoto waved his hand, and everyone moved towards the cliff.
But what they didn't know was that the moment Higashiyama Hisasaku climbed up the cliff and showed his figure, he was discovered by the first battalion commander of the independent regiment.
Kong Jie knew that as long as the village's guard work was done well, the enemy would definitely start from the cliff, so as to avoid fighting with the independent regiment.
He left the only two telescopes in the regiment here, and in order to prevent the enemy from discovering them, he personally came here to choose an observation post with backlight.
Just in case, Kong Jie also camouflaged the telescope.
Although it didn't achieve the effect of camouflage cloth, after the soldiers' experiments, it was almost difficult to be discovered with the addition of these two.
In a place where the devils couldn't see, this place had been dug into an endless position.
The independent regiment used multiple continuous trenches as the backbone, and used traffic trenches to connect to form a field defense position with a deep and echelon configuration.
There were hidden machine gun bunkers, ammunition depots, and anti-artillery holes. Because it rained a lot recently, the soldiers also did drainage projects.
If Kong Jie hadn't wanted to wipe out the Yamamoto special forces, he would even want to build a bunker here.
The soldiers in charge of guarding the position were originally sticking to the breastwork in boredom. This position had been built for nearly three months, and the so-called enemy that came to launch a sneak attack had not appeared.
The weather is pretty good today, except that it is a bit hot, there are no other problems.
Some time ago, those on duty had to drain the trenches every day, and the feeling of soaking their feet in water was unforgettable for him.
But their regiment commander ordered that they must pay close attention when they are here, and not miss any disturbances.
And Kong Jie treated everyone equally, and did not refuse to participate in the rotation just because he had the highest rank.
When this soldier saw the devils in strange clothes appear, he immediately spit out the grass roots that he had bitten in his mouth, and asked his comrades around him to notify everyone to prepare for battle.
In order to avoid the sight of the direction of Yangcun, the Yamamoto Special Forces had to be divided into 16 batches of more than 80 people before all of them could climb up.
At the height of this cliff, each wave takes at least one and a half minutes.
This foreshadowing bought the Independent Regiment almost 20 minutes.
After all the members of the Yamamoto Special Forces climbed up, not only did all the soldiers in the defense position of the Independent Regiment enter the combat position, but even the soldiers in Yangcun were divided into two waves.
One group of people was preparing to ambush at the bottom of the cliff at the entrance of the village, and another group of people entered the vacant position through the communication trench according to the original training.
The reason why the execution is so high is that the soldiers have not taken off their clothes when sleeping recently, and the guns are placed in the most convenient place in the barracks.
I didn't expect that the chapter title of Chapter 14 was gone. I don't have the authority to change it. The title party died before the mission was accomplished.
