Chapter 154: The Remnant Troops of the 109th Division (Combined)

This man was none other than Li Yunlong.

"Dabiao!"

Seeing the Battalion Commander calling him, Zhang Dabiao immediately stood at attention: "Present!"

"I am asking you a question: who is the Battalion Commander of this First Battalion of the 772 Regiment, and who do they take orders from?"

"Reporting to the Battalion Commander!" Zhang Dabiao said loudly: "The Battalion Commander of the First Battalion of the 772 Regiment is Li Yunlong."

"The entire battalion must follow Li Yunlong's command!"

"First Company Commander Zhang Dabiao, report complete."

At this moment, Nakamura Jiro, along with several of his guards, also arrived before Guteng Changying.

The 109th Division was completely finished!

Guteng Changying roared in anger.

The three company commanders of the First Battalion responded loudly.

Li Yunlong pricked up his ears, listening carefully to the sound of gunfire.

He was the only surviving field officer in the Japanese military camp at Shimen Village.

At this moment!

On a small hillside, a platoon of soldiers from the Jin Jizhong Regiment of the Sichuan Army.

A dozen or so Japanese soldiers, under Nakamura Jiro's arrangement, pretended to be Japanese soldiers fleeing in all directions, wandering in front of the Sichuan Army.

"Dabiao, lead your First Company immediately and head in this direction to support our friendly forces."

Just as Li Yunlong was leading his troops and about to cross a mountain pass.

However, as time dragged on, Yang Paizhang knew that if they kept fighting like this.

"Wipe them out at the fastest speed!"

This made Nakamura Jiro realize that this Sichuan Army unit was an isolated force separated from the search party.

Because Yang Paizhang had two MG42 General Purpose Machine Guns in his hands, as well as one Czech Light Machine Gun.

"One, two... three!"

"Order the vanguard!"

Suddenly, gunfire rang out.

"Wipe out the Sichuan Army immediately, and the troops will quickly shift toward Ceyu Town."

If it weren't for the fact that the Imperial Army suffered heavy losses at Shimen Village tonight.

Regarding tonight's battle, Nakamura Jiro felt extremely fearful inside.

However, Yang Paizhang's reaction was quick, and he immediately led his troops to occupy a small hillside.

To actually stumble at the hands of the Sichuan Army.

Nakamura Jiro had initially thought this platoon of the Sichuan Army was a trick.

The Japanese soldier he sent returned to report: "Reporting to you, Major!"

With a loud shout from Li Yunlong, the soldiers of the First Battalion also gritted their teeth and held on.

If Nakamura Jiro attacked by force, he could take this Checkpoint, but wiping out the Sichuan Army would take a lot of time.

Guteng Changying was panting heavily at this moment, looking at his Adjutant.

"Kill one and break even... kill two and make a profit..."

"Platoon Leader!"

Because the Checkpoint occupied by the Sichuan Army was easy to defend and hard to attack!

These two soldiers were both fellow villagers of Xiao Liu.

Yang Paizhang at the Checkpoint saw that they had been pursuing for so long.

"Everyone, hide yourselves well for me!"

Hearing this, Songben Teng stepped forward and came before Guteng Changying: "Your Excellency Brigade Commander!"

Last time they cooperated with the Sichuan Army, the Battalion Commander had managed to scavenge quite a few good things.

From a dozen or so Japanese soldiers, it suddenly turned into a squad of Japanese soldiers.

Xiao Liu, along with two other Sichuan Army soldiers, scrambled up from the ground and charged outward.

Zhang Dabiao looked at his Battalion Commander's smiling face, and he also knew that the Battalion Commander had come to Shimen Village just to scavenge some good equipment from the Sichuan Army.

"When the Division Commander was camping at Shimen Village, he was ambushed by the Sichuan Army's Explosives and Landmines."

Especially the MG42 General Purpose Machine Gun; this firepower output could instantly withstand the Japanese Type 11 Light Machine Gun.

If the Imperial Warriors in his hands didn't have handy weapons, how could this Sichuan Army unit have held on for so long?

"Brothers!"

Not only were they few in number, but some soldiers didn't even have Type 38 Rifles in their hands anymore.

After these few rounds of artillery fire, the Imperial Army camping at Shimen Village would certainly suffer heavy losses.

"Just how much strength are these little Japanese hiding!"

With his few men, they would be finished sooner or later, because their ammunition was clearly running low.

"All of you in the battalion, continue to rush toward Shimen Village for me."

As he fell to the ground, Xiao Liu heard the sound of bullets piercing flesh once again.

Just at this moment, the Japanese soldiers had originally been suppressed by the Sichuan Army's firepower.

"Imperial Army, pass through this Checkpoint as quickly as possible."

"We are out of ammunition too, Platoon Leader!"

The friendly forces were at a disadvantage, and the Japanese clearly held the upper hand.

With the Brigade Commander of the 31st Brigade still alive at present, Nakamura Jiro felt a bit happy in his heart, for this meant.

After Wang Yi heard Liu Quan say this, his head tilted to one side... and he breathed his last.

Yang Paizhang grinned and said, "You take two men, I'll provide covering fire."

This time, when they reinforced the Niangziguan front, the entire 129th Division was on a Rapid March.

"The Sichuan Army 22nd Group Army possesses a Mountain Artillery Regiment; 24 mountain guns bombarded the division command post."

"It must be Brother Yu and his men, who are currently mopping up the remaining Imperial Army soldiers."

Because Nakamura Jiro was very familiar with the sound of that Type 11 Light Machine Gun.

These few rounds of firepower directly blasted the souls out of the Imperial Army soldiers.

Many Imperial Army soldiers, only concerned with fleeing for their lives, were lucky if they could even carry a Type 38 Rifle.

"Listen to the gunfire, it's not far from us."

"Bang! Bang! Bang!! —"

Fresh blood splattered continuously, staining the cotton-padded coats of these two soldiers a very bright red.

"What is the situation?!"

Then his right hand clenched into a fist and smashed fiercely against the ground.

Hearing the gunfire, Nakamura Jiro knew that it was the Imperial Army coming.

At this moment!

On a small hill, an Imperial Army Major was observing this battle.

Lure this Sichuan Army unit out from the Checkpoint, then quickly surround and annihilate them, in order to pass through the Checkpoint in the shortest amount of time.

"Machine gun... covering fire!!"

One MG42 General Purpose Machine Gun and a Czech Light Machine Gun provided cover for Xiao Liu.

"Platoon Leader!"

Bullets were like a sky full of sword rain, heading toward the Imperial Army soldiers.

"Hurry and hide... hide well!!"

The two general purpose machine guns ceased fire completely after firing their last belt of ammunition.

The two hundred or so Imperial Army soldiers led by Nakamura Jiro had not a single mortar in their hands, not even a grenade launcher.

"Most of the division's field officers were killed in action, and afterwards, the Sichuan Army used mortars and heavy artillery to bombard them."

Guteng Changying and his Adjutant were still wandering in the big mountains, unable to find their bearings.

This time, Yang Paizhang was careless.

Nakamura Jiro had originally thought that the remnants led by Guteng Changying had many machine guns, which meant their numbers were also.

Li Yunlong grinned and said, "Speak louder, I can't hear you!"

Yang Paizhang shouted!

The 109th Division, the remnants of two brigades, were now gathered together.

Xiao Liu's eyes were filled with mist; he knew the Platoon Leader was buying him a chance to survive.

Yang Paizhang shouted, "Xiao Liu!"

As Wang Yi spoke, his voice grew increasingly weak, "Liu Quan, you promise me!"

Xiao Liu saw the Imperial Army's firepower suddenly weaken, and he looked at the other two men.

But he truly had not expected that the 31st Brigade was in an even more miserable state than his own.

"Third Company, follow me!"

A dignified division was first challenged to a battle on the Niangziguan Battlefield by the Sichuan Army via an open telegram.

The soldiers under Yang Paizhang's command, facing the powerful firepower of the little devils, now only had one squad of soldiers left.

Moreover, Guteng Changying was still a Brigade Commander.

"All of you aim, and fire fiercely!!"

The two of them had joined the army with Xiao Liu for the sole purpose of fighting the little devils.

Two Sichuan Army soldiers nodded!

Xiao Liu roared; he was currently lying on the ground, twisting his body and crawling forward.

"Charge with me!!"

Very quickly!

Fresh blood splattered out and sprinkled onto Xiao Liu's cheeks.

"Da-da-da!!"

"Yes!"

"Baka!"

Upon hearing this, Guteng Changying understood.

Xiao Liu took two men, crept down from the hillside, and headed toward the direction where the Imperial Army's firepower was weakest.

"To just leave like this now..."

"I probably won't survive either, don't show your head!"

Songben Teng nodded, "Hai!"

Listening to the sound of the opponent's Type 11 Light Machine Gun, Nakamura Jiro estimated that the remnants of the 31st Brigade were definitely more numerous than his own remnants.

He saw that the two soldiers who had moved with him had already had their chests riddled like a sieve by the machine gun.

This sound was like tearing silk, and as fresh blood splattered over, Xiao Liu felt it was extremely scalding.

Now it suddenly became powerful, and the little devils' Type 11 Light Machine Gun opened fire fiercely.

Thinking of the 1098th Division, traversing the Pingjin Region, after entering the borders of Jin Province.

"I promise you, I will definitely live on and avenge you and Li Erdan."

Everyone was exhausted to the point of collapse.

Nakamura Jiro led two hundred or so devils and broke out of the encirclement from Shimen Village.

"Nani?"

Although Nakamura Jiro had issued the order to attack, the devils' infantry were moving somewhat sluggishly at this moment.

Nakamura Jiro saw that the Sichuan Army's firepower was being suppressed, and his brows furrowed slightly.

Upon hearing this, Nakamura Jiro's face lit up with joy, "Yosh!"

He prepared to drag the bodies of Wang Yi and Li Erdan down from above a little.

All the remaining field officers lost their lives in Shimen Village.

Sneaking up to the side of the Sichuan Army to eavesdrop on the troops' conversation.

To take it along while fleeing for one's life would be a burden.

A bullet struck Xiao Liu's left shoulder; he let out a scream and fell to the ground.

"Immediately encircle this Sichuan Army unit!"

"Erdan is no longer breathing."

"Live on... kill a few more devils and avenge me and Erdan!"

"Wang Yi... Erdan..."

Nakamura Jiro's scheme worked, and Yang Paizhang fell for the trap.

"Second Company, go from this direction to cut off the devils' retreat."

Li Yunlong quickly issued combat orders based on the situation on the battlefield.

When Xiao Liu got up, his foot slipped, and his movements were half a beat slower than the other two.

"Immediately rendezvous with Brigade Commander Gufeng Changying!"

"You immediately take men and break out, go find the main force, and report the signs of the devils' flight truthfully."

After Li Yunlong finished speaking, he sized up Zhang Dabiao: "If it weren't for the fact that you kid came out of the Northwest Army."

However, after his observations several times, plus the fact that Nakamura Jiro had found a few devils who understood the Zhongtu language.

Nakamura Jiro grinned coldly.

"Da-da-da!!"

The remnants of the 31st Brigade were clearly much worse off than his own remnants.

"Da-da-da!! ——"

"Once the sound of guns and cannons rings out, the whole battalion must listen to me."

Yang Paizhang's eyes widened, staring straight at Xiao Liu, "Hurry and go!"

After Li Yunlong led his troops across the Yellow River and headed north to enter the Niangziguan line, he happened to save Zhang Dabiao halfway.

Gufeng Changying was a General Officer; he could hold on.

Wang Yi looked at Xiao Liu and said in a weak voice: "Liu Quan... don't... don't move..."

Is this still the wise and martial Imperial Warrior?!

"Platoon Leader, I'm out of bullets here too!"

However, it was precisely this half-beat that saved Xiao Liu's life.

The devils' camp at Shimen Village was bombarded by explosives and landmines, followed by shelling from the Sichuan Army.

Zhang Dabiao scratched his head in a simple, honest way.

He used his personal charisma to trick Zhang Dabiao into joining the 18th Group Army.

But who would have known that the vanguard of the troops discovered a platoon of the Sichuan Army guarding an important Checkpoint.

"While this group of devils hasn't completely encircled us, break out for me."

Zhang Dabiao walked up to Li Yunlong, "Battalion Commander!"

"Damn it!"

"What 'you' what... my word is the order!"

General-purpose machine guns and Czech-style machine guns were constantly spitting out flames.

Now, over twenty thousand Imperial Army soldiers were being beaten by the Sichuan Army 22nd Group Army until they couldn't tell north from south.

Fortunately, the Imperial Army soldiers still had Type 38 Rifles in their hands.

On the hillside!

After Yang Paizhang saw this scene, he shouted Xiao Liu's name.

"This gunfire includes both the devils' Arisaka Type 38 Rifles and our Hanyang Rifles and Zhongzheng Rifles."

The two people in front of Xiao Liu were hit by bullets and died instantly.

He broke away from the main searching force and led a platoon of soldiers to penetrate deep into the mountains alone.

"I'm out of bullets!"

But who would have known that the devils they were pursuing had actually laid out bait.

One was named Wang Yi, and the other was named Li Erdan.

If it weren't for Nakamura Jiro's troops engaging in a firefight with Yang Paizhang.

"I'll count one, two, three, and we'll charge together!!"

The soldiers of the 1st Battalion immediately stopped advancing, and everyone separated and lay flat on the ground.

"Pu-pu-pu-pu!! ——"

"Not bad skills, and your swordsmanship is remarkable; I wouldn't have saved you back then."

Judging by the sound of gunfire from both sides!

There are no Type 92 Heavy Machine Guns, but there are four Type 11 Light Machine Guns.

Guteng Changying first encouraged Nakamura Jiro for a while.

"Knowing I am the Battalion Commander, then you brat, where do you get so much nonsense!"

"I am not reconciled!"

"I have led the troops on a Rapid March for so long, and finally, I can scavenge some equipment."

Moreover, this defeat of the 109th Division requires someone to take responsibility.

Li Yunlong shouted, "Everyone take cover!"

After arriving at the location, Nakamura Jiro discovered.

Xiao Liu looked at the Platoon Leader, "Platoon Leader, I..."

Communications Soldier Xiao Liu immediately came to the side of Yang Paizhang.

"I think it must be our people who have started fighting with the little devils."

For Nakamura Jiro, who was anxious to pass through the Checkpoint, this was somewhat not worth it.

"Speed up the march!"

Now they have encountered fire from the little devils.

Established a defensive line on the hillside.

A burst of bullets came flying toward Xiao Liu and the others.

He led the troops, currently in the mountains, preparing to head in the direction of Ceyu Town.

"These are a portion of Imperial Warriors from the 118th Brigade; they broke out from Shimen Village!"

Seeing devils appear, a dozen or so devils.

Liu Quan nodded, "Fine!"

Zhang Dabiao shouted again loudly.

Li Yunlong grinned: "Hehe!"

He still decided to use the strategy of luring the tiger away from the mountain.

In terms of troop strength, the Sichuan Army held the advantage, and Yang Paizhang decisively ordered a pursuit.

"Songben Teng, who is the commander of this Imperial Army unit?"

"This devil, I haven't killed one with my own hands yet."

"General Guteng Changying of the 31st Brigade has led the remnants to rendezvous with us."

Now it is most appropriate for Guteng Changying to command the troops.

These Type 92 Heavy Machine Guns and Mortars, these things are so heavy.

He immediately called a few devil soldiers to hurry and check it out.

Upon hearing this, Yang Paizhang said loudly, "Brothers, fix Bayonets for me!"

"Let's fight it out with the little devils!"
