Chapter 195 Kill Yamamoto Ikki!
After learning that the Eighth Route Army's weapons and equipment did not match the intelligence at all, Yamamoto Ikki wanted to report this information to his superiors. However, the radio station was destroyed by a small grenade from a grenade launcher at the very beginning.
So now Yamamoto Ikki can only wait for the subsequent retreat and report this information after returning to the 4th Brigade.
Yamamoto Ikki shook his head and turned his attention back to the conversation with the Eighth Route Army.
"Eighth Route Army on the cliff, I have shown my sincerity, I demand an equal conversation with equal status!
The Vanguard Corps is so powerful, so your leader must be an excellent commander. I hope to have a conversation with your leader!"
"Yamamoto, don't talk nonsense, there are only two paths waiting for you now.
One way is to wait for our other troops to arrive and then annihilate you all!
One is to lay down your weapons and surrender directly!
I promise you, as long as you lay down your weapons and surrender now, you will be able to see our leader!"
After listening to Yamamoto Ikki's response, Lin Sanhuo glanced at Qin Yangming and continued to shout at Yamamoto Ikki.
Yamamoto Ikki, who was standing at the foot of the cliff, listened to Lin Sanhuo's answer, thought for a moment, then continued to shout towards the cliff with a smile.
"Captain of the Eighth Route Army Vanguard Regiment, you must be on the cliff, could you please respond?
I believe that the commander of the Eighth Route Army who could inflict such heavy damage on my special forces is definitely not a coward! "
Based on Lin Sanhuo's words, Yamamoto Ikki directly analyzed that the leader of the vanguard group mentioned by the other party must be on the cliff.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for Lin Sanhuo to pause every time he spoke.
It was obvious that there was an officer of a higher rank beside Lin Sanhuo.
Since the other party was on the cliff, Yamamoto Ikki naturally wanted to talk to him directly.
Yamamoto Ikki also wanted to know how the other party discovered him.
Although their whereabouts were not exposed along the way, their special forces team was ambushed after they climbed up the cliff.
Although Yamamoto Ikki also speculated that there might be guard troops of the Eighth Route Army on the cliff.
But even if there are guards on the cliff, their number cannot be too large, at most one platoon.
But it was obvious that the other party was not the special forces team that was discovered after the special forces team climbed up the cliff.
If the other party is unaware of the existence of the special forces team at the beginning, they should open fire at the first moment.
After all, someone had gotten close to their headquarters, and the defending troops should not be thinking about how to inflict the greatest possible damage to the attacking troops.
Instead, they tried to find a way to notify the command center at the rear, and tell the command center and other guard forces that they had been attacked and to provide support or cover the command center's retreat as soon as possible.
However, the enemy did not shoot at the special forces team that climbed the cliff immediately, but waited for some soldiers from the special forces team to climb up before launching the attack.
It was obvious that the troops on the cliff had long known about the existence of the special forces team and had speculated that the special forces team would enter Baihu Ridge from this side of the cliff.
Therefore, the Eighth Route Army troops on the cliff would not open fire immediately to alert the command center or other guard troops behind them, but would want to kill the attacking enemy forces to the greatest extent possible.
Moreover, as soon as the other side opened fire, grenade launchers immediately attacked the bottom of the cliff, and the entire process was mainly fire suppression to avoid face-to-face confrontation. It was obvious that the other side was well prepared and was even very clear about the strength, weapons, and personnel configuration of the special forces.
However, the operations of Yamamoto Ikki's special forces team were all secret. Except for a few senior officers of the 4th Brigade and a few officers of the Shanxi Command, no one knew the routes and targets of the special forces team.
So it is impossible that someone sold the special forces' intelligence to the Eighth Route Army.
It is also impossible that there was an insider who leaked the intelligence of the special forces.
Therefore, the only way for the Eighth Route Army to know the intelligence of the special forces team was if they were discovered on the road from Tongshi Town to Baihuling.
But what Yamamoto Ikki could be sure of was that he had not been discovered by the Eighth Route Army along the way.
If I were discovered, the Eighth Route Army would not allow me to continue approaching Baihuling.
However, before reaching Baihu Ridge, the special forces team did not encounter any resistance from the Eighth Route Army.
So the only possibility is that the special forces team was discovered after arriving at Baihu Ridge.
Even if they were discovered, it would be impossible for the Eighth Route Army to know the true identity of the special forces team and their various weapons configurations so quickly!
Judging from the preparations of the Eighth Route Army on the cliff, the other side was obviously very familiar with the special forces team and had formulated a battle plan specifically targeting the special forces team.
Yamamoto Ikki really wanted to know how the Eighth Route Army discovered him and how they knew about the combat effectiveness of his special forces team as well as information such as equipment and personnel configuration.
"Eighth Route Army on the cliff, I am a Japanese colonel, I want to negotiate, you must at least send someone of equal status to talk to me!
Leader of the Vanguard, I hope to speak with you directly!
Not that impolite company commander under you!
I have heard that your army has always respected prisoners. Now we have proposed to negotiate surrender, but this is your army's attitude.
Is this what your army calls respect?
As a regiment commander, don't you even have the courage to talk to a colonel like me?"
Qin Yangming, who was standing on the cliff, listened to Yamamoto Ikki's constant provocation, wanting him to personally speak and negotiate with him.
"presumptuous!
How dare you say that about our regiment commander, you little devil, are you tired of living?!
Machine guns ready!"
Qin Yangming hadn't said anything yet when he heard Yamamoto Ikki saying in a roundabout way that Qin Yangming was a coward.
Goudan, who was standing by, couldn't help himself first and cursed directly at the bottom of the cliff. At the same time, he raised his hand to point at the approximate location of Yamamoto Ikki, signaling the heavy machine gunner to prepare to fire.
Although the other soldiers nearby could not understand Japanese, it was obvious from what Goudan said that Yamamoto Ikki was not saying anything good.
And he also scolded their team leader.
What a joke. Their leader is always scolded by the boss except the brigade commander. If anyone else dares to scold their leader, they will definitely go up and argue.
What's more, the Japanese now dared to curse their commander in front of them, saying that the old man was hanging himself... and was looking for death!
The soldiers of the vanguard regiment raised their guns and looked towards Qin Yangming.
As long as Qin Yangming gave the order, they would open fire immediately.
Use bullets to tell the Japanese that their regiment commander is not someone you can scold. If you scold him, you will pay the price with your life!
At this moment, Lin Sanhuo glanced at the Type 92 infantry gun being pushed over from behind, and immediately stopped tolerating Yamamoto Ikki.
He started cursing directly.
"Yamamoto, I'm going to fuck you, surrender or not? Give me a straight answer!"
"I'll give you one minute. If you don't surrender after one minute, you'll die!"
Yamamoto Ikki, who was at the bottom of the cliff, was stunned for a moment when he heard the angry voice coming from above the cliff, and then he felt happy.
Anger is good. Anger will make people lose their reason.
If you are blinded by anger, you will do wrong things.
Yamamoto Kazuki immediately waved his arms, signaling the special forces soldiers behind him to prepare to throw smoke bombs.
Hayamura Tengshan also tightly grasped the submachine gun in his hand, ready to stand up at any time to suppress fire on the top of the cliff and cover Yamamoto Ikki's retreat.
"Sir, are you still unwilling to speak?
Your soldiers are so rude. Are all soldiers of the Eighth Route Army so rude?
We are all professional soldiers. It is not my intention to set foot on your land!
I hate war too, but it's not up to me!
Sir, are you going to let your soldiers insult me like this? ! "
Although the Eighth Route Army's vigilance was not lowered as he had expected, angering them could achieve a similar effect.
However, Yamamoto Ikki did not directly order a retreat, but continued to provoke the Eighth Route Army, making them even more angry. By the way, he wanted to see if he could communicate with the commander of the vanguard regiment to find out how the other party discovered him and how he learned the detailed information of his special forces team.
Qin Yangming, who was on the cliff, stopped being silent after seeing the soldiers setting up the Type 92 infantry guns and mortars. He spoke to Yamamoto Ikki at the foot of the mountain.
"Yamamoto, if you don't surrender at the last minute, you will die!
If you surrender and tell me all the information you have, I will guarantee your life as a soldier!
If you are worried about being assassinated, I can report to the higher authorities first and send you to the rear."
Hearing another voice coming from the cliff, Yamamoto Ikki instantly understood that this voice was the voice of the leader of the vanguard group.
“Yoshi, sir, from the sound of your voice, you must be a powerful warrior!
Your Excellency, you and I are both professional soldiers. You should understand that as a soldier, it is your first duty to obey orders!
Sir, I have a question, I wonder if you can answer it?
If you are willing to answer, I will walk out of this mound immediately!" "Everyone get ready, this little devil Yamamoto Ikki is about to run away!
Align the heavy machine gun for me!
Hurry up and set up the Type 92 infantry gun. If the muzzle can't be lowered, just raise the gun a little higher!"
After listening to what Yamamoto Ikki said, Qin Yangming immediately realized that Yamamoto Ikki was preparing to escape, and quickly asked the soldiers to get ready.
At the same time, Qin Yangming picked up the sniper rifle beside him and aimed at the position where Yamamoto Ikki was.
As long as Yamamoto Ikki appears, Qin Yangming will shoot and kill him immediately.
surrender?
What a joke. Reason is something you talk about with people. The Japanese are not human beings. There is no need to reason with them. Just kill them.
Even if you surrender, you still have to provide food.
The Eighth Route Army did not have any extra food to give to the Japanese.
At the edge of the cliff, more than a dozen soldiers from the vanguard regiment quickly placed sandbags on the ground and raised the Type 92 infantry gun so that they could directly fire at the mound.
The other soldiers also pulled the bolts of their guns and prepared to shoot.
A little further back, the mortar gunners from the Sixth Company quickly set up the mortars and prepared for firing.
At the grenade launcher position, each grenade launcher firing team also stuffed small grenades into the grenade launchers.
As long as Yamamoto Ikki dared to escape, they would immediately use grenade launchers to cover the open space with fire.
The preparations have been completed, and Qin Yangming has no intention of wasting time by arguing with Yamamoto Ikki about this and that.
"Yamamoto, don't talk about surrendering. You just want to use the words of surrender to lower our vigilance so that you can escape, right?
By now, everyone in your special forces team should be holding a smoke bomb and preparing to escape.
Yamamoto, I suggest you don't throw it away, save some energy, so you can get going later!"
Qin Yangming directly told Yamamoto Ikki what he was thinking, and then waved his hand to signal the soldiers beside him to prepare for the attack.
Yamamoto Ikki, who was at the bottom of the cliff, listened to Qin Yangming's words and instantly realized that his thoughts had been seen through by the other party.
"idiot!"
"Throw smoke bombs!"
"Fire!"
Qin Yangming and Yamamoto Ikki gave the order to attack almost at the same time.
After receiving the order, the Japanese soldiers in the special forces quickly threw the smoke bombs in their hands.
A large number of smoke bombs landed on the open space at the rear and began to release smoke with a hissing sound.
Then a team of special forces Japanese soldiers suddenly stood up and pointed their submachine guns at the edge of the cliff, ready to fire in an effort to suppress the firepower of the Eighth Route Army and force Yamamoto Ikki to retreat.
As soon as Hayamura Tengshan stood up, he saw the muzzle of the cannon aimed at the mound on the edge of the cliff, and his pupils shrank suddenly.
"Infantry gun!"
As soon as Hayamura Tengshan had finished speaking, before he could pull the trigger to fire, he was shot to pieces by the submachine gun of the vanguard regiment who were well prepared.
"Tom!"
Two soldiers from the vanguard regiment responsible for operating the Type 92 infantry gun pulled the gun rope.
The two Type 92 infantry guns mounted on the edge of the cliff roared, and two 70mm high-explosive bombs flew out from the muzzles of the Type 92 infantry guns and quickly shot towards the mound.
The earth mound could block some bullets, but it could not block the direct fire from the Type 92 infantry gun at such a close distance.
The shell exploded immediately after hitting the mound.
The powerful shock wave directly killed the Japanese soldiers who were clinging to the mound behind.
"Retreat, retreat!"
At this moment, Yamamoto Kazuki no longer cared about any plans.
The Eighth Route Army pushed the Type 92 infantry gun over. The mound could no longer protect them, so they could only quickly order all the special forces soldiers to retreat quickly.
Try to get one or two people away.
Amid the sound of artillery shells exploding, the Japanese soldiers in the special forces team didn't care about any tactics or alternating cover when they retreated and turned around and ran to the rear.
The soldiers at the grenade launcher position on the cliff also fired their grenade launchers.
Small grenades flew quickly towards the open space covered by smoke bombs.
The heavy machine gunner on the edge of the cliff set up his heavy machine gun and started firing directly at the open space.
The sniper kept sniping and killing the Japanese soldiers who were exposed.
Qin Yangming also held a sniper rifle and stared closely at the position where Yamamoto Ikki was.
When Yamamoto Ikki heard the gunfire beside him, he immediately threw away all his equipment and tried to reduce the weight as much as possible so that he could run faster.
Yamamoto Ikki thought very clearly that at such a close distance, the bulletproof vest or backpack on his body could not block the bullets fired by heavy machine guns or sniper rifles, let alone artillery shells.
Instead of wearing a heavy bulletproof vest that slows you down, it’s better to just throw it away and run faster so you might be able to escape alive.
After taking off his bulletproof vest and other equipment, Yamamoto Kazuki raised his submachine gun and pulled the trigger based on his feeling without even looking at the edge of the cliff.
As the submachine gun ran out of bullets, Yamamoto Kazuki decisively abandoned the submachine gun and ran to the rear.
Qin Yangming, who was well prepared, saw a submachine gun appear on the mound and immediately lay down to avoid it.
As the sound of the submachine gun stopped, Qin Yangming quickly stood up and looked at the figure rushing into the smoke with the sniper rifle.
Smoke bombs cannot completely cover the open space, they can only slightly block the view. After all, this is in the outside world, not an enclosed space.
Once a smoke bomb releases smoke, it is dispersed by the natural flow of air and is impossible to gather.
So even though Yamamoto Ikki rushed into the area covered by the smoke at this moment, Yamamoto Ikki's figure could still be seen.
Yamamoto Kazuki did not use any tactical moves to avoid the shooting, but ran straight to another gentle slope behind him that could serve as a cover.
After all, there are heavy machine guns, grenade launchers, Type 92 infantry guns and other weapons shooting at us. It is impossible to avoid shooting by using tactical movements.
In this environment, trying to use so-called tactical movements to avoid shooting is equivalent to increasing the probability of being hit.
Instead of trying to dodge, it is better to speed up and quickly run to the next shelter.
Qin Yangming looked at Yamamoto Ikki's running figure under the cliff and raised his gun to aim at Yamamoto Ikki's body.
Because all of Yamamoto Ikki's body was exposed, Qin Yangming did not aim at Yamamoto Ikki's head.
The head is too small and accidents are prone to happen.
Anyway, the goal is just to kill Yamamoto Ikki. Considering the power of the full-power rifle bullets used by the sniper rifle, the result will be the same whether he hits the head or the chest.
"boom!"
As Qin Yangming pulled the trigger, an ordinary bullet quickly flew out of the sniper rifle and shot towards Yamamoto Ikki.
The bullet easily penetrated Yamamoto Ikki's back, then hit his ribs, and finally rolled out of Yamamoto Ikki's chest.
Due to the large amount of hormones secreted by his body, Yamamoto Ikki did not feel any pain, and was knocked to the ground by the impact of the bullet.
As blood mixed with foam flowed out, Yamamoto Ikki stopped struggling.
