Liang Jian: Lao Li, I'm really not a military expert

Chapter 244: The Japanese carried out the Trojan Horse operation, and the college students found clu

Originally, Xue Xiaoliu did not plan to take action so early, but when he learned from Xue Changming that the Japanese fighter planes would arrive in half an hour, he knew that he could not delay any longer, otherwise it would be very difficult for them to escape. They had the experience of being suppressed by the Japanese fighter planes and could not raise their heads.

It was precisely because of this that one of them who was originally somewhat hesitant became flustered when he learned that the Japanese fighter planes were about to arrive, and he immediately agreed to Xue Xiaoliu's request to start the uprising in advance.

Since Ichiro Katayama had made up his mind to use the 726th Regiment as cannon fodder, in order to make these cannon fodder play a greater role, he also specially supplied them with ammunition, which greatly increased the combat effectiveness of the 726th Regiment.

The reason why Ichiro Katayama was so confident in the 726th Regiment was because the Japanese intelligence department had someone in it. If the 726th Regiment dared to have any other ideas, someone would report to him immediately. He could then let the logistics department provide supplies for the 726th Regiment with confidence, and even specially supplemented them with a batch of light and heavy machine guns, hoping that they could play a role on the battlefield. Even if they could not defeat the independent regiment's position, they could help the Japanese move their weapons closer to the front.

Just as the Japanese were making pre-war preparations, the 726th Regiment, under the order of Xue Changming, launched an attack on the Japanese supervision team behind them. It took only ten minutes to defeat the Japanese supervision team. At this time, other Japanese soldiers were carrying out pre-war supplies. The only one who could pose a real threat to the 726th Regiment was the Morita Battalion responsible for vigilance.

Taro Morita didn't expect Xue Changming to dare to rebel. He waved his command knife in his hand and gave orders in an angry tone: "Baga Yalu! Damn Chinese, I said before that they can't be trusted, but that bastard Hirata insisted on bringing them here! Since these damn guys dare to betray, kill them all, kill them all (charge)!"

There was a burst of gunfire for a while, but Taro Morita also encountered a tough opponent this time. You must know that after the replenishment, the 726th Regiment has nearly 3000 personnel, not to mention the original 2000-plus people. The combat effectiveness is also ranked among the best in the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. It is a bit exaggerated to fight the devil one-on-one, but two-on-one is definitely no problem. In addition, the Morita Battalion is also receiving ammunition, and only two squadrons can be mobilized. Fortunately, Junichiro Hatoyama acted quickly and immediately mobilized two squadrons to suppress it.

"Xiao Liuzi, lead the men out immediately. If we can't get out today, we will all die. The lives of thousands of brothers are pinned on you. Lead the death squad and charge forward immediately. As long as we can get into Xiaoyunling, the brothers can survive!"

"Brothers, the Japanese want us to be cannon fodder, which is a road that will lead to certain death. We surrendered to the Japanese to save the lives of our families, but the Japanese don't keep their promises. We have been fighting with the Japanese every day without thinking about any happiness. Now the Japanese want us to die again. The example of the 22nd Division is right in front of us. If we want to survive, we must charge forward and don't save ammunition. The Japanese have just replenished a batch of ammunition for us. Use all the light and heavy machine guns and hit the Japanese hard!"

Under Xue Changming's command, Xue Xiaoliu led a 300-man commando team to open an escape route, buying a chance of survival for the large army. Except for more than 300 people who ran to the independent regiment's position, the rest of the 726th Regiment ran desperately towards Xiaoyunling. After losing more than 600 people, they retreated safely into Xiaoyunling.

"Chief of Staff, please allow me to lead my men into the mountains to encircle and suppress the enemy. I will definitely capture all the members of the 726th Regiment and let them know the consequences of betraying the empire!" Taro Morita requested.

Junichiro Hatoyama angrily slapped Morita Taro several times, and still not satisfied, he kicked him hard several times, pointed at his nose and cursed: "Morita, you idiot, you really hurt me badly. Originally, the brigade commander planned to use the 726th Regiment as cannon fodder to attract the firepower of the Chinese army, so that the aviation and artillery would destroy the firepower of the China army, but with the rebellion of the 726th Regiment, this became a bubble!"

"The 726th Regiment has been under your jurisdiction for a long time, but you still haven't taken control of it. I'm really disappointed. Your Morita Battalion will be the first to launch an attack. You can't retreat until you take down the Independent Regiment's defensive position, otherwise you will all die!"

Junichiro Hatoyama scolded Taro Morita severely, and gave him a chance to redeem himself and make preparations for the attack. In the process of suppressing the rebellion just now, the Japanese suffered heavy casualties, directly losing more than 160 people, nearly a squadron of troops.

When Ichiro Katayama learned that nearly an entire squadron was killed or injured, his face turned red with anger. If it weren't for the fact that he needed people right now, he would never let Taro Morita go easily and would find a way to punish him severely!

"Hatoyama, immediately order the artillery regiment to open fire. We must not let the 726th Regiment escape into the Independent Regiment's position. We must destroy them all. Otherwise, we will become the laughing stock of the entire division!"

Under the order of Ichiro Katayama, Colonel Miyata began shelling the Inukai Taro Task Force. This made Inukai Taro, who was fleeing towards the independent regiment's defensive position, so angry that he almost jumped up and down. Just now, more than 30 of his men had been killed or injured by artillery shells. If Colonel Miyata really continued the shelling, even if they could safely enter the independent regiment's defensive position, the losses would probably be very large, and the casualties would most likely exceed half. But now he could not send a signal to Colonel Miyata to prove his identity, so he could only rush forward, silently saying in his heart that this was a necessary sacrifice. Only if he acted more realistically could he deceive Li Yunlong's eyes and let Li Yunlong take them in, thus implementing Operation Trojan Horse!

Originally, Operation Trojan Horse was going to be more massive than it is now, but the men in black were called back by General Kagezoe for an urgent matter. Before leaving, the men in black made new arrangements and reduced the size of the task force, which was then carried out by Inukai Taro. For the next mission, Xue Changkun will stay behind as a hidden player, waiting to be activated in the future.

In fact, Xue Changming's rebellion this time was actually planned in advance by the men in black. Even if he did not rebel this time, he would rebel next time. As for Xue Changming, the men in black did not care whether he was dead or alive in the end. His real target has always been only one, and that is Lin Zhenhua!

Inside the independent regiment's forward command post, Li Yunlong and Lin Zhenhua listened to the sounds of gunfire coming from the Japanese camp and were extremely curious. They had not sent any troops to attack the Japanese camp. Heshang and Duan Peng had already brought their men back and were now snoring in the back. Could it be that reinforcements had arrived?

"Old Li, something is wrong. The noise coming from the Japanese doesn't sound like an act. It's impossible for the Japanese to blow up their camp in broad daylight. The sound of gunfire cannot be fake. Could it be that the Japanese are deliberately luring us into the trap?" Lin Zhenhua said suspiciously.

Li Yunlong looked towards the enemy camp, but due to the distance, he could not see clearly. He replied with a serious face: "College student, no matter what the enemy is planning, we just need to watch the show honestly, so that we will not be fooled by the enemy! For us, we hope that the enemy will cause chaos on their own. According to the intelligence we just received, the 726th Regiment and a battalion of enemy soldiers arrived an hour ago. The enemy's strength is stronger than before. The pressure we face may be greater than yesterday. The bigger the commotion the enemy makes, the better. This will reduce the pressure on our defense!"

As soon as Li Yunlong finished speaking, he saw the Inukai Task Force running towards the independent regiment's defensive position, followed by the roar of the Japanese artillery. Shells exploded in the Inukai Taro Task Force. It could be clearly seen that some people were directly killed by the shells. For a moment, Li Yunlong and Lin Zhenhua were a little confused. They both hurried to the artillery aiming tools, and after confirming that they were not mistaken, they fell into a brief silence for a moment.

It was Lin Zhenhua who broke the silence first. He said in a surprised tone, "Old Li, judging from the clothes these people are wearing, they should be puppet soldiers. The noise just now should be caused by these puppet soldiers. It is very likely related to the Japanese using them as cannon fodder. Before, I thought these puppet soldiers were afraid of death, but I didn't expect that when they were really pushed into a corner, they would actually dare to fight the Japanese directly. They ran towards our position. Could it be that they were expecting us to pick them up?"

Li Yunlong picked up the mung bean soup beside him and drank a bowl. His dry throat felt better. He cursed, "Damn it, I didn't expect that these damn puppet soldiers would dare to fight with the devils. Could it be the same as you guessed? But if these puppet soldiers were so brave, they would not surrender to the devils. Besides, there are more than 5000 soldiers in the devil's camp. It is very unlikely that the puppet soldiers can escape from under the devil's nose. After all, the devils are not vegetarians. How could they let them escape so easily?"

"But the Japanese artillery shells are quite accurate, and they really look real. Could it be that I am too suspicious? Before, I thought these puppet soldiers were disguised as Japanese soldiers, and they were going to take the opportunity to sneak into our position to help the Japanese army capture our position. Now it seems that I am probably too suspicious!"

Lin Zhenhua did not refute. He carefully observed the situation of the Japanese task force and really found something wrong. At the beginning, the distance was relatively far and he could not see clearly. Now that the distance was closer, he found that the height difference of these people was not much. Without the height of other people as a reference, for a moment, he was really deceived.

Fortunately, God rewards those who work hard. Inukai Taro and his men still revealed some flaws when faced with a life-and-death crisis. Some of their previous habits were deeply engraved in their bones, which could be judged from the way these devils walked. In addition, with the wooden stakes left behind as a reference, the height of these devils was also judged, which made Lin Zhenhua more determined in his inner thoughts. He cursed in his heart: Damn devils, they are so damn cunning, playing a trick to make the fake look real. This must be their previous Trojan Horse plan!

"Lao Li, these guys are not puppet soldiers, they are definitely real devils. These bastards are really insidious. We were almost fooled by them. Since the devils want to play tricks on us, let's take advantage of them!"
