Traveling through 1937, starting from the Battle of Songhu

Chapter 405: Secret Special Operations

In Gaojia Town, with the gathering of the 26th Division, the Japanese troops' strength increased dramatically.

In addition to the Japanese soldiers still behind Xianyaling, they now have three infantry regiments in Gaojia Town alone, with more than 10,000 personnel.

If other arms are included, there are more than 30,000 personnel.

In fact, if the independent regiment had not annihilated many Japanese soldiers several times, the Japanese 106th Division alone would have had as many as soldiers.

To be honest, from the blocking outside Gaojia Town, to the Battle of Huangtuling, and then to the encirclement and suppression of the Eighth Route Army headquarters, the Japanese have suffered heavy casualties.

The Japanese army, which originally had more than 100,000 troops including the puppet army, now only had about 50,000 troops left to encircle and suppress the independent regiment. It must be said that the losses were extremely heavy.

At two o'clock in the morning, all the Japanese soldiers except the guards and patrol personnel fell asleep.

After receiving combat guidance from the headquarters, the old Japanese soldier Matsuura calmed down and was finally able to sleep well. As for the result, he would have to wait until tomorrow.

A few kilometers away from Gaojia Town, Xiaowu and all the special forces had been waiting for several hours.

After receiving the news from Captain Zhao Ziqing, they first left Xianyaling from the eastern cliff, then observed the movements of the Japanese for a day, and finally decided to take action against the Japanese at three o'clock in the morning.

At 2:30 in the morning, as Xiaowu's combat plan was completed, the team members began to act.

Xiaowu led all the snipers, firepower team, machine gun team, and blasting team members of the special forces team, while the others protected around the artillery.

Two kilometers outside Gaojia Town, a team of Japanese soldiers from the 6th Division was patrolling. The leader of the team was Sergeant Shima Yutai. They belonged to the patrol team outside the Mizukawa Brigade.

In fact, after the previous battle in Dingxian, the Shuichuan Brigade’s strength was no longer as strong as before. A large number of veterans were annihilated by the Independent Regiment, resulting in an increasing number of new recruits in the subsequent recruitment.

In addition to the previous Battle of Nanjing, the actual 6th Division is completely different from history. It is not an exaggeration to say that it has become second-rate.

As a veteran, Shima Yutai naturally has the arrogance of a veteran. His hands are also stained with the blood of the Chinese people, so among the subsequent Japanese recruits, he is considered a very experienced old Japanese soldier.

Moreover, he has survived from Jinling to the present day, which shows that he has a strong ability to protect his life. Many times, he relied on his keen intuition and cunning to save his life.

But tonight's patrol made him feel a little uneasy, as if something bad was about to happen.

He subconsciously stopped patrolling several times to sense the presence of danger, but unfortunately he never caught any.

Oshima, feeling increasingly uneasy, simply stopped and squatted down, staring intently at the darkness in the distance. After a while, his eyes fixed and he shouted angrily:

"Baga, everyone, load your guns and get ready for battle!"

When the order was given, he was the first to load the bullets in the Southern pistol in his hand.

"Shimao-senpai..."

Just as the Japanese soldier was about to ask, he was kicked over by Shimao.

If looks could kill, this Japanese soldier would be dead by now.

Shima Yuta looked down on these new recruits. They had poor combat awareness and were very talkative. They were no match for the brothers who had died before.

Seeing this, the other Japanese soldiers followed the squad leader and lay on the ground.

Shima Yutai ignored them. He even lowered his head and relied entirely on his ears to sense the enemies in the dark.

An experienced veteran is indeed very important, as they can fully prevent impending dangers.

Naturally, the Japanese's action successfully made Xiaowu and others who were dozens of meters away dare not continue to move. They could not make any gunshots now and could only wait.

After more than ten minutes, Shimao's sense of crisis finally dissipated. He indeed didn't find anything around him. They couldn't maintain this state forever, so he lifted his alert.

They continued patrolling, but Shimao kept his pistol in his hand, ready to take action at any time.

Seeing this, Xiao Wu made a few subtle gestures to the back, signaling everyone not to move, because he saw that the direction of the Japanese soldiers patrolling was right in their direction.

Twenty meters,

ten meters,

three meters.

Shimao sensed danger again. Just as he was about to issue a combat order, a cheetah-like figure appeared before him.

Before he could make any other move, a big hand tightly gripped his neck, and another team member took control of his hand.

At almost the same time, the team members took action one after another, and all thirteen Japanese soldiers in a small squad were captured without them shouting or firing a single bullet.

The team members' usual hard training produced the best results at this time. The executioner Shimao could not escape his fate after all and died at the hands of Xiaowu.

Of course, the withdrawal of the Japanese's outermost patrol was just the beginning. As the team members dispersed and attacked, the patrol teams and guard posts arranged by Mizukawa Kita on the periphery were eliminated silently one by one.

Just when Xiaowu wanted to order the team to continue infiltrating, an accident occurred.

When Zhao Ziqing appeared in front of Xiaowu with a group of people, Xiaowu was so excited that he almost jumped up.

Although I knew that Captain Zhao Ziqing had sneaked into the Japanese army camp with several teams, I didn’t expect that Zhao Ziqing was actually here?

The question is, wasn’t he in the Japanese 26th Division before? How did he end up in Gaojia Town?

Without waiting for Xiaowu to ask, Zhao Ziqing whispered, "Next, quickly change into the Japanese uniforms and follow me."

It was indeed not the time to explain, so Xiao Wu did not ask any more questions. Seeing that it was the captain, everyone did not say anything and followed the order to change into the Japanese clothes that Zhao Ziqing had prepared in advance.

A few minutes later, Zhao Ziqing announced the tasks one by one, and the team members were led to the target point by their team leaders.

As the last order was issued, Zhao Ziqing took Xiao Wu and the blasting team away. Their mission was to blow up the Japanese baggage.

Zhao Ziqing was very familiar with the Japanese military camp. Sometimes he would chat with them when he met the Japanese patrolmen there, which made Xiaowu very surprised.

Half an hour later, at five in the morning, at the foot of the mountain outside the Yitiantian entrance outside Gaojia Town, the Japanese supply camp was located.

Zhao Ziqing muttered a few words to the Japanese leader, and then the Japanese leader took his men away without saying anything more.

At this time and in this weather, the Japanese soldiers were already freezing cold after guarding for several hours, and there was an order from above not to make a fire. It would be strange if they didn't hurry back to bed. How could they not be suspicious of Zhao Ziqing, whom they had already known for a long time?

Watching the Japanese soldiers leave his sight, Zhao Ziqing made a few gestures, and the team members behind him who had already become familiar with him in the Japanese camp began to clear out the Japanese soldiers inside.

Since they had already figured out the layout inside, the team members were able to clear it out smoothly and soon reappeared in Zhao Ziqing's sight.

There were only five small teams arranged in the Japanese supply battalion, and they were spread out widely, and it was considered the Japanese hinterland, so the Japanese inside, including the division commander Matsuura, did not expect that something would happen to the supply battalion.
