Chapter 29: A circuitous advance to encircle the Independent Regiment's command post.
Li Yunlong followed Kong Jie to the village entrance. Zhang Shan and the others wanted to follow, but Wang Yousheng stopped them.
Zhang Shan and his comrades were anxious. Zhang Shan scratched his head and said, "Secretary Wang, there's a fierce battle going on up ahead, we need to go help!"
Wang Yousheng laughed and said, "No rush, come with me, we're going to pull off a big heist."
"Does Secretary Wang also have combat missions?"
The soldiers looked puzzled.
Wang Yousheng chuckled and said, "That's right, come with me to the regimental headquarters armory."
"yes!"
Zhang Shan didn't think much of it. They trusted Wang Yousheng a lot. After all, when they ambushed the enemy in Liuchen Village, the bayonet techniques taught by Wang Yousheng had enabled them to kill several Japanese soldiers.
Gunfire continued outside the village entrance; Yamamoto Ichiki's special forces had clearly engaged in combat with the guard company.
Although it was very quiet on the back mountain, Wang Yousheng could still sense a sense of crisis.
Regimental Armory!
When fighting the cavalry battalion before, Li Yunlong generously provided his equipment, and the Independent Regiment annihilated the entire cavalry battalion.
In that battle, all the artillery shells were used up, half of the light and heavy machine gun bullets were used up, and there were still a few boxes of hand grenades left. Now that we have retreated to Yangcun, the rest are piled up here.
Wang Yousheng had already planned to set up an ambush on the defense line behind the mountain, just waiting for Yamamoto Ichiki to come.
"Zhang Shan, Li Si, you two are in charge of the two 'Waibai' rifles. The rest of you, prepare hand grenades. We don't need guns."
Wang Yousheng opened the courtyard where the ammunition was stored and gave the order.
Zhang Shan still didn't understand what Wang Yousheng was doing, but he followed suit.
Zhang Shan and another soldier were responsible for one light machine gun, while the other soldiers all used hand grenades and none of them used rifles, which was really unbelievable.
Wang Yousheng's plan was very simple. Since he fought an ambush battle with Li Yunlong, he had learned a lot of guerrilla tactics and was preparing to use the same tactics to deal with Yamamoto Ichiki.
Yamamoto Ichiki clearly intended to bypass the Independent Regiment headquarters and advance towards Daxia Bay, but unfortunately, the shrewd Kong Jie had arranged for sentries, and they were exposed.
Once the gunshots ring out, how can there be no reason not to fight?
Congratulations on receiving the mission: Resist Yamamoto's Special Forces

[Battle Overview: Aftershocks of battle detected within 1000 meters]
[Battle Rewards: Kong Jie kills one enemy, earns the rank of Major, +200 points, +20 merits]
Li Yunlong killed one enemy soldier, earning him the rank of Major, +200 points, and +20 merits.
"Um?"
Just as Wang Yousheng was assigning tasks to the soldiers, the reward from the "golden finger" made him overjoyed.
Wang Yousheng thought to himself: Yamamoto Ichiki's special forces are so valuable?
It turns out that Yamamoto Ichiki came to Taiyuan to form a special forces team. Although the team consisted of only a few dozen members, each of them was a skilled soldier, and more than half of them were former majors.
They were all fanatical warmongers, and were also obsessed with Yamamoto Ichiki's special operations tactics; they all came because of Yamamoto Ichiki's reputation.
This was an unexpected bonus. If tonight's battle goes smoothly, my merit points will increase rapidly, and unlocking the intermediate test won't be difficult.
Wang Yousheng is now extremely eager to improve his strength. If he can wipe out Yamamoto Ichiki's special forces, he can at least gain several hundred merits! This is a feast!
Action, begin!
Wang Yousheng first ambushed three soldiers in the trees around the regimental headquarters, each carrying five grenades, to throw as soon as they saw the Japanese soldiers coming.
The rest of them followed Wang Yousheng and ambushed in several courtyards outside the regimental headquarters. Although there were only six of them, they had two light machine guns and dozens of hand grenades, which was enough to give Yamamoto Ichiki a hard time.
We're just waiting for Yamamoto Ichiki to take the bait!
On the other side, behind Yangcun Mountain.
An officer in a yellow uniform, holding an MP38 submachine gun, is looking around.
This man was none other than Yamamoto Ichiki! His original plan was to bypass Yangcun and launch a surprise attack on the Eighth Route Army headquarters in Daxiawan, but he was unexpectedly discovered by the Eighth Route Army's sentries.
As a former special forces soldier, Yamamoto Kazuki quickly realized that the opportunity to fight had been lost.
"Report, Operations Team One has been exposed. Requesting operational orders!"
At this moment, the communications officer came to report.
Yamamoto Ichiki's lips twitched, his eyes turning icy as he said, "The target has been exposed; going to Daxia Bay is pointless. Notify Team One to attack the Eighth Route Army headquarters in Yangcun—a swift and decisive victory!"
"Hai!"
The communications soldier made an urgent call from the side.
Yamamoto Ichiki glanced at the Independent Regiment headquarters below the mountain, a cold smile playing on his lips.
In his view, how could a single independent regiment's guard company possibly stop the special forces? It was undoubtedly like throwing an egg against a rock.
His special forces team consisted entirely of skilled soldiers, equipped with the latest German weaponry. Even if they couldn't reach Daxia Bay, they were more than capable of destroying the Independent Regiment's command headquarters.
Immediately, Yamamoto Ichiki ordered: "Second group, third group, advance in a flanking maneuver and surround the Independent Regiment's command post."
"Hai!"
A group of several dozen people slowly advanced, heading straight for the headquarters of the Independent Regiment.
Yamamoto Ichiki truly lives up to his reputation as a special operations talent; his route of advance is anything but ordinary!
The two teams under his command, the first team of more than 20 people, advanced in a triangular formation, and the second team followed closely after the situation became clear.
Although it wastes time to move one in front and one behind, the reconnaissance field of vision is very wide. Once there is any movement around, they can support each other, which can be described as a superior individual combat tactic.
However, Yamamoto Ichiki could never have imagined that Wang Yousheng had his soldiers ambush him in the trees and next to the villagers' courtyard walls.
Before long, the first squad rushed into the Independent Regiment's compound.
Instead of entering the regimental command post, they unleashed a hail of bullets with submachine guns, turning the command post into a mangled mess.
A special forces soldier stepped forward to investigate and found no one there.
At the same time, he hurriedly sent a safety signal to Yamamoto Ichiki behind him.
Yamamoto Ichiki led his special forces team forward, a group of over fifty men, who were scattered around the regimental headquarters.
Yamamoto Ichiki did not expect that the special forces team would miss their target. At this moment, gunfire continued to erupt from the combat team at the entrance of Yang Village. He immediately ordered two combat teams to reinforce the entrance of the village.
However, just as the special forces team withdrew from the regimental headquarters compound, three grenades fell from the sky.
Under the cover of night, a grenade, emitting plumes of smoke, landed at the feet of a special forces soldier.
"What???"
boom!
In an instant, the grenade exploded.
The Type 91 grenade, theoretically, has an explosive range of ten meters, but in reality, it only has an effect of six or seven meters. However, three grenades can create a cross-explosion, which is enough to kill several Japanese soldiers!
Three grenades exploded simultaneously, killing four members of the special forces team, even though they were deployed in a skirmish line.
[Battle Rewards: Kill four Majors, Score +800, Merit +80]
Wang Yousheng's backstage points and merits have increased.
"There's an ambush!"
Yamamoto Ichiki reacted instantly, and at the same time, all combat teams fired in the direction of the grenades.
However, they came up empty-handed.
Because the soldiers hiding in the trees had already jumped down and were hiding under the courtyard wall below.
Yamamoto Ichiki immediately ordered, "Baka! Three targets, one team, move in!"
