Chapter 338: Japanese Special Attack Team?
At five o'clock in the morning, the independent regiment's battalions changed their guard at Huangtuling, and the brigade commander Kobayashi Ichizo also received the news.
With the precedent on the southern battlefield, he could not allow such an unpredictable mistake to happen again, so he sent several teams to conduct reconnaissance in the west.
The entry of the independent regiment's battalions was naturally discovered by them and reported to Kobayashi Ichizo.
At the same time, the division commander, Lieutenant General Jun Hougong, who had not slept all night, also opened his eyes.
He had been sitting quietly under their plaster flag waiting for news, when he heard footsteps coming from outside. It was Colonel Shirogane Shigeji who came.
"Mr. Baiyin, is there any news from Shanmu?"
Seeing the division commander looking at him, Shirogane Shigeji bowed deeply and spoke.
"Your Excellency, the Division Commander, the Sakura Special Attack Team has successfully entered the Independent Regiment's base. Good news should be coming soon."
"Yoshi, Shirogane-kun, I hope Yamaki-kun will give us a big surprise this time."
Hou Gongjun's purpose is very clear. While the independent regiment is out, he will directly destroy its lair. With the ability of their special forces, this is easy to do.
More than 20 kilometers behind Xianyaling, the Sakura Special Attack Team, after marching for several hours, had stopped for nearly an hour.
Captain Ichiro Yamaki was standing on a mountain top at this time, observing the direction of Xianya Ridge from afar with a telescope.
The Xianyaling base was extremely mysterious under the cover of night, like a Shura field where people would be eaten. This situation gave Yamaki Ichiro a bad feeling.
"The warriors of the empire should not be afraid of difficulties and have the courage to break through themselves."
Yamaki Ichiro secretly encouraged himself,
His current location is actually quite far from Xianya Ridge, which happens to be the Lone Wolf Special Forces' blind spot. Usually, there will be a small team on guard when there are many people. This time, the main force happened to be out, so this place was free.
"Captain, Suzuguchi-kun and the others are back."
Upon hearing this, Shanmu nodded, put down the telescope and waited for his subordinates to report.
Lingkou Qinsheng took a step forward, and several people squatted on the ground, forming a circle, and then took out a flashlight map.
Lingkou began to report to Shanmu based on the map: "Captain, we have bypassed the independent regiment's guards on the periphery. Their personnel are here, here..."
"The Independent Regiment doesn't have many personnel left. During our investigation, we discovered that the enemy had no more than 300 people at most."
After listening to this, Yamaki nodded with great satisfaction, and then he kept measuring on the map with his fingers. After a while, he looked up and asked, "Suzou-kun, have you found anything else?"
For now, the intelligence Lingkou has gathered is sufficient, but he is worried about equally elite opponents.
Judging from the previous destruction of the two brigades in Guangling and Weixian, they would not be able to replicate the same thing, so Shanmu was still quite worried about this.
Hearing the captain's question, Captain Suzuguchi thought for a moment and shook his head to indicate that he had no more.
Seeing this, Shanmu praised: "Yoshi, Suzuguchi-kun, you did a great job, the information is very detailed."
He stood up and looked at the people around him and ordered, "First, deal with the guards of the independent regiment outside. Don't shoot, just work secretly!"
This information was indeed enough for him. In his opinion, the special forces of the independent regiment should have gone out, which gave them an opportunity.
Indeed, judging from the intelligence from the division before, the enemy would not be in Xianyaling.
Shanmu was just worried, so he asked his subordinates to investigate, and the result was very good for him.
What Shanmu didn't know was that the night was full of dangers. Lingkou was lucky not to encounter the minefield and the special forces personnel left behind, but that didn't mean he wouldn't encounter them later. Some areas were not accessible...
More than ten kilometers behind Xianyaling, Xiaowu had been leading his team to wait here for a night.
Eight teams of more than one hundred people plus five battalions of about two hundred people were scattered in the dense forest here, which was also the only place without booby traps.
Normally, both the special forces on guard and the soldiers of the 17th Battalion take this road back to the Xianyaling base.
The Japanese didn't explore this area, otherwise the team led by Lingkou would not have to go back.
In fact, the special forces would not gather together like this on normal days. This time, Zhao Ziqing simply took most of the personnel out.
In order to defend the important roads, Xiaowu handed over the periphery to the soldiers of the third battalion.
At six o'clock in the morning, the light in the forest was still very dark, but Xiaowu became increasingly nervous.
Perhaps it was a premonition, giving him a sense of foreboding before the battle.
"Captain, why don't you take a break first? We are watching here."
Xiao Wu shook his head and said, "Brothers, cheer up. I don't feel well."
"Before the main force left, Commander Gu told us that the Japanese also have a special forces team. I suspect they have already infiltrated."
Gu Changfeng could not possibly forget this, especially when the base was at its most empty, which was why he left eight teams to defend it.
"Captain, it's almost morning, the Japanese shouldn't have come in yet."
This team member obviously didn't believe Xiaowu's words. According to the special forces' combat style, they would never choose this time. Three or four in the morning would be the best time.
At this moment, an explosion sounded from their east, and a Japanese special forces soldier was instantly killed.
The noise was loud enough for all the guards to hear clearly.
Shanmu was dumbfounded. He never imagined that there would be a minefield on the road that Lingkou's team had walked before.
This is actually easy to explain. On the one hand, the Suzuguchi team is lucky, and on the other hand, they have fewer people.
So the Lingkou team was not attacked, but their main force was attacked when they were on the move.
"Bakayaloo, evacuate quickly," Shanmu knew that this commotion would soon attract a large number of security personnel.
They are special forces, not those reckless infantrymen. They must evacuate first and look for opportunities later.
"It's the devils. The new team members stay here to guard, and the others follow me."
Xiaowu reacted quickly when he heard the noise and immediately gave orders. Then the eight teams quickly chased in the direction of the explosion.
It was an obvious thing, he had a premonition in his mind, and the guards of the third battalion were very clear about the signs, so it was naturally easy for him to judge.
The Japanese special forces are actually very difficult to defeat. There are many minefields behind Xianyaling, some with a few mines, some with a group of mines.
It is difficult to enter without an identification method, unless you are lucky enough like the Lingkou team. In this case, they only explored the periphery and did not even reach the area where the special forces are located.
In fact, the special forces only know the approximate area of the distribution of booby traps, and usually rely on unique markings and separate routes to travel.
Otherwise, Xianyaling is so big and has so many trees that even if it is marked on the map, it would be easy for our people to fall into the trap.
