Chapter 184: Secret Service? Clown!
"Oh, it really is the special forces of that devil Yamamoto Ikki."
On a hilltop of Baihu Ridge.
Qin Yangming muttered to himself as he observed through a telescope the unknown troops that were circling around the outskirts of Baihu Ridge and heading towards the cliff at the back mountain.
Although I can't see clearly what's going on with that unit.
However, from the opponent's route of action, it is still easy to tell whether the opponent is an enemy or a friend.
If it was the Eighth Route Army, they should have entered Baihu Ridge directly from the canyon, instead of running around Baihu Ridge and approaching the cliff on the back mountain.
The opponent's route of action has fully demonstrated that it is an enemy army.
At this time, apart from Yamamoto Ikki's special forces, Qin Yangming could not have imagined that there was any other Japanese army that was able to sneak up to Baihu Ridge without anyone noticing.
"That's strange, Captain. This group of devils should have come from Tongshi Town. Why didn't Duan Peng and the others notice it?"
The guard Goudan, who was standing by, listened to what Qin Yangming said and asked him in surprise.
Hearing the doubt in Goudan's words, Qin Yangming snorted coldly and explained to Goudan.
"This group of Japanese soldiers most likely crossed the mountains and hills instead of taking the main road, and Duan Peng led the assault platoon to conduct reconnaissance along the main road, just staggered the two sides.
Goudan, have the messenger send a message to Duan Peng, and tell him to come back immediately after completing the reconnaissance mission!"
“By the way, tell the political commissar that the headquarters’ security work will be handed over to the Second Independent Regiment, and tell the commander of the first battalion that the canyon defense position will be returned to the Second Independent Regiment.
Let the political commissar lead the main force and wait for me at the designated attack location. After I eliminate Yamamoto Ikki's special forces, I will lead the remaining troops to join him."
After Qin Yangming confirmed the number of members of Yamamoto's special forces team, he began to give orders to his personal bodyguard Goudan.
At first, Qin Yangming didn’t know what the situation of that army was, and then he guessed that it might be the enemy.
Therefore, the first battalion was temporarily allowed to take over the canyon defense position and not let anyone enter Baihu Ridge from the canyon.
Then he asked Zhangye to take a team to the headquarters to protect the boss's safety.
But now it has been confirmed that the other party's identity is Yamamoto Ikki's special forces team, and their whereabouts have been completely mastered.
Then the main task of the vanguard regiment was to launch an attack on the Japanese 4th Brigade.
So it is naturally impossible to leave a large force here to confront Yamamoto Ikki's special forces.
In addition, there is a main force regiment on the Baihu Ridge side. After waiting for about half an hour, the remaining troops will also arrive at Baihu Ridge.
With sufficient troops in Baihu Ridge, the vanguard group naturally had to carry out their mission.
So Qin Yangming asked Goudan to notify the battalion commander and political commissar of the first battalion and ask them to take their troops to the attack site first.
Then he would take the remaining company to eliminate Yamamoto Ikki's special forces, or drive away Yamamoto Ikki's special forces and then take the remaining troops to meet up in Zhangye.
"Yes!"
After receiving Qin Yangming's order, Goudan quickly left Qin Yangming's side.
Qin Yangming led a company of troops and quickly rushed to the cliff behind the mountain.
The brigade commander ordered him to chop off Yamamoto Ikki's head as a sacrifice.
In addition to the brigade commander's order, Qin Yangming himself did not want to let Yamamoto Ikki and his special forces team go.
The special forces team trained by Yamamoto Ikki, the Japanese soldiers in it are most likely not ordinary soldiers, they are probably officers.
Moreover, Yamamoto Ikki is a colonel, worth 100,000 points!
One hundred thousand points can be exchanged for a lot of good things from the system.
Qin Yangming now has less than 500,000 points left.
One hundred thousand points, that’s one-fifth. How could Qin Yangming not be envious?
If Yamamoto Ikki was killed by other troops, he would not be able to get any points.
Even for those 100,000 points, Qin Yangming would find a way to kill Yamamoto Ikki.
Qin Yangming led his troops to the cliff on the back mountain of Baihu Ridge.
Although it is almost impossible for ordinary people to climb up the back mountain from the cliff.
But that's almost, not definitely.
Therefore, there are still defensive fortifications on the cliff behind Baihu Ridge.
There is a platoon of soldiers stationed there.
Three heavy machine guns plus permanent fortifications, with shooting directions from three angles, directly locked down the cliff on the back mountain.
If anyone dared to climb up from the cliff on the back mountain and launch an attack on Baihu Ridge, they would be faced with the fire of three Maxim heavy machine guns with strong and sustained firepower.
Moreover, these three heavy machine guns are inside the fortifications, not to mention the heavy machine guns carried by the defending troops themselves.
After Qin Yangming led his troops to the defensive position on the back mountain, he directly ordered the platoon of soldiers on the first line of defense to go to the second line of defense.
The company of soldiers he brought directly took over the first line of defense.
The first line of defense was about one hundred meters away from the cliff.
The front of the position was covered with weeds.
If someone climbed up the cliff, the first thing they would see would be a large amount of weeds, but they would not be able to see the defensive positions behind the weeds.
However, the people on the defensive position can spot the people climbing up from the cliff at the first moment and launch an attack at the first moment.
At the same time, the grenade launcher position in the first line of defense can also use grenade launchers to shoot small grenades directly below the cliff.
If there is no grenade launcher, the soldiers can go to the individual bunker about 30 meters away from the cliff and throw grenades down the cliff.
If the first line of defense fails, the second line of defense can directly attack the first line of defense from the hillside.
At the same time, the mortar positions on the mountain can also provide fire coverage to the first line of positions.
The main task of the first position is to defend against the enemy troops climbing up from the bottom of the cliff.
The second line of defense is responsible for delaying time.
After all, the powerful firepower arrangement of the first position had been eliminated by the enemy, so there was little point in holding the second position.
Therefore, the mission of the second line of defense is to delay time and wait for the arrival of reinforcements, or to buy time for the rear troops to retreat.
But in fact, the second line of defense has more symbolic significance than practical significance.
If the Japanese wanted to break through the first line of defense, they would have to send out a large number of bombers to carry out carpet bombing on the first line of defense, risking the bombs falling on their own heads.
Or they could send a large number of troops to attack Baihu Ridge from all directions and use up all the ammunition on Baihu Ridge.
Otherwise, Qin Yangming really couldn't think of any other way to break through the first line of defense.
After all, the location of the first position is quite special. Even if the Japanese use heavy artillery to bomb it, the shells cannot hit the first position.
Moreover, if they climb up from the bottom of the cliff, it is destined that the enemy troops coming up will not be able to carry heavy weapons.
At most, they could carry a few light machine guns or grenade launchers.
Even if the 60mm mortars were brought up, how many shells could be carried on people's backs?
Moreover, at such a close distance of one hundred meters, the soldiers on defense could clearly see the movements of the enemies.
Even if there are mortars, I am afraid that they will be directly illuminated by heavy machine guns as soon as they are set up.
Even if the mortar successfully fired a shell, with the power of the mortar shell, at most it could blow up one or two sandbags, and it posed no threat to machine gun bunkers or other concrete fortifications.
Without heavy weapons, it would be a pipe dream to suppress the heavy machine guns in the permanent fortifications with light machine guns.
Moreover, the various fortifications on the first line of defense can protect the soldiers in charge of defense to the greatest extent, while the enemy troops climbing up from the cliff have no shelter at all. "Captain, according to what you said, the nature of Yamamoto Ikki's special forces is similar to our assault platoon.
But we only have one company, and it's not even fully staffed, with only more than 130 people. Can we deal with the special forces team?
At the beginning, the assault platoon didn’t even fire a shot, and they directly wiped out the independent regiment... and now what about us? "
After Goudan conveyed Qin Yangming's order, he came back and asked Qin Yangming with some concern.
Goudan remembered that Qin Yangming said that the nature of the Japanese special forces team was similar to the assault platoon of their vanguard regiment.
But Goudan knew very well the combat effectiveness of the assault platoon.
Not to mention more than a hundred people, even if there were another hundred people, they would not be able to stop the assault platoon.
For example, in the very beginning, the assault platoon destroyed the headquarters of the independent regiment without firing a single shot.
But now the number of people in this Japanese special forces team is even greater than that of the assault platoon, and Goudan began to worry.
Looking at Goudan's worried eyes, Qin Yangming slapped him on the head in annoyance.
"I'm talking about the fact that the nature of the Japanese special forces is similar to our assault platoon.
I didn't say that the combat effectiveness of the Japanese special forces is about the same as our assault platoon!
The assault platoon was able to wipe out the independent regiment because it was a sneak attack, not a frontal assault!
The role of the assault platoon is like a poisonous snake, hiding in the dark and then delivering a fatal blow to the enemy!
It is not like a wild boar that ignores everything and attacks the enemy head-on.
The most important thing for the assault platoon is secrecy and hiding in the dark!
Once the assault platoon is exposed and engages in direct confrontation, the assault platoon will be nothing more than a force slightly stronger than ordinary soldiers.
We all have two shoulders to support one head, so what is there to be afraid of..."
Goudan listened to what Qin Yangming said, shook his head and spoke.
"Captain, I'm not afraid.
What I mean is, haven’t you always taught us to despise the enemy strategically and take the enemy seriously tactically?
We can obviously mobilize more troops to fight this special forces team, why did you only bring one company?"
Listening to what Goudan said, Qin Yangming glanced at Goudan and spoke.
"I've come here in person to deal with the Japanese special forces. Is this not enough to take seriously?"
"Oh, don't worry about that. Yamamoto Ikki's special forces are just a bunch of clowns."
Qin Yangming didn't take the so-called special operations that Yamamoto Ikki was so proud of seriously.
As for Yamamoto Ikki's so-called special operations, to Qin Yangming, they were no different from the ordinary Japanese troops.
Apart from anything else, if Qin Yangming himself brought his troops to attack Baihu Ridge.
Qin Yangming would definitely lead his troops to circle around Baihu Ridge for two days, and then launch a surprise attack after thoroughly understanding the layout of Baihu Ridge.
And Qin Yangming would definitely not bring so many people with him.
Special operations pursue stealth, speed, accuracy and ruthlessness!
He led nearly a hundred people to carry out a decapitation mission and was also preparing to storm the defense line... In Qin Yangming's opinion, Yamamoto Ikki's thoughts were not much different from those of an ordinary Japanese commander.
If Qin Yangming led the team to carry out the decapitation operation at Baihu Ridge.
Then Qin Yangming will bring at most twenty people, and these twenty people will be dispersed into five groups of five, divided into five combat teams.
Then they would ask the Air Force to bomb Baihuling to disrupt the defensive positions of the Baihuling garrison.
If time is of the essence, then use air force bombing as cover to enter Baihuling at night.
If time is not urgent, Qin Yangming will choose to ambush directly outside Baihu Ridge.
Then wait for the target to leave Baihu Ridge before taking action!
They might even send a large force outside to launch a large-scale attack on a certain area, or provide some bait to make the target leave Baihu Ridge on their own initiative.
He would definitely not do the same as Yamamoto Ikki, who launched an attack on Baihu Ridge just as daybreak was approaching.
More importantly, Yamamoto Kazuki did not understand the defensive situation of Baihu Ridge and launched the attack rashly.
If it were Qin Yangming, under the premise that the respective situations were unclear, Qin Yangming would directly choose to give up the mission unless it was a mandatory order.
If you rashly launch an attack without understanding the situation, that is not an attack, that is seeking death!
Using only dozens of people to fight against thousands of regular troops without any support is just courting death.
So in Qin Yangming's opinion, Yamamoto Ikki's so-called special operations were not as difficult as the training tasks he assigned to the assault platoon.
……
At this moment, Yamamoto Kazuki also came to the bottom of the cliff with his special forces team.
The cliff on the back mountain of Baihu Ridge is almost vertical, but at the bottom of the cliff there is a gentle slope covered with weeds.
Yamamoto Ikki looked at the gentle slope below the cliff with a frown.
The location of the gentle slope is very clever.
Directly block all the space below the cliff.
If someone shoots down from the cliff, the people below the cliff will have nowhere to hide.
Moreover, under the cliff which is full of rocks, there is a gentle slope made up of accumulated loess, which is weird no matter how you think about it.
This gentle slope was naturally built by Qin Yangming.
Yamamoto Ikki also noticed this gentle slope when he first passed by Baihu Ridge, but he remembered that he had ordered the troops responsible for defending Baihu Ridge to flatten the gentle slope.
But now it is obvious that the Japanese soldiers stationed at Baihuling did not obey Yamamoto Ikki's orders.
Yamamoto Ikki looked up at the top of the cliff and felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart.
It was as if there was some huge crisis on the cliff.
As long as he climbs onto the cliff, the crisis above will directly take his life!
But at this moment, Yamamoto Ikki had already brought his special forces team to the vicinity of the target.
It is natural that Yamamoto Ikki would not give up this mission easily just because of the uneasiness in his heart.
"Go, send a telegram to Commander Yoshio Shinozuka and ask him where the North China Front Battlefield Observation Group is."
Yamamoto Ikki looked at the time, then gave orders to the Japanese soldier next to him who was carrying a small radio on his back.
"Hi!"
After receiving the order from Yamamoto Ikki, the Japanese soldier quickly squatted down, and then the other Japanese soldier quickly turned on the radio behind the other and began to send a telegram to Yoshio Shinozuka who was far away in Taiyuan.
"By the way, have Commander Yoshio Shinozuka inform Major General Naoomi Hattori to lead the battlefield observation group away from the battle area."
"Hi!"
After Yamamoto Ikki conveyed his orders to the Japanese soldier in charge of communications, he gave a look to the Japanese soldiers beside him who were carrying several rolls of long ropes on their backs.
"on!"
The deputy captain of the special forces team, Hayamura Tengshan, looked at Yamamoto Ikki's eyes, and immediately whispered to the Japanese soldiers whose clothes were slightly different from those of other special forces soldiers.
After receiving the order, several Japanese soldiers carrying ropes quickly walked up the slope, then put on various special equipment and began to climb the cliff with their bare hands.
These Japanese soldiers were specially selected by Yamamoto Ikki to be responsible for climbing the cliff.
With the equipment these little Japanese soldiers were wearing and their own abilities, they could even climb the city walls of Taiyuan with their bare hands.
For these Japanese soldiers, if they could climb up the city wall of Taiyuan, climbing up this cliff would naturally not be a difficult task.
