Chapter 186 The Bugle Calls for the Charge
Just then, the Japanese lieutenant colonel standing at the entrance of the main house in the courtyard spoke up.
"read."
Upon hearing the order, the Japanese major immediately opened the document in his hand and began to read it aloud.
"This afternoon, the Sugimoto Special Attack Unit and two fighter jets lost contact. The last known location of contact was about 30 miles southwest of Zuoyou Lijiapo. The original city command ordered us to send a squadron to search immediately."
Kato Shizusa frowned upon hearing the news, thinking that if he were to transfer an infantry company, he would not be able to completely and quickly annihilate this group of Eighth Route Army remnants. Although this group of Red Army soldiers was already at their last gasp and was surrounded on an isolated high ground, they still could not underestimate the enemy.
His original plan was to first besiege this Red Army force for two days and then eliminate the remnants of the Red Army at minimal cost.
Furthermore, the telegram stated that even the planes hadn't returned, indicating that the special forces were definitely in serious trouble. If his own squadron were also lost, he wouldn't fare well either.
The Japanese major standing next to him saw his battalion commander frowning in thought, and dared not disturb him, so he stood quietly to the side and waited for the next order.
After considering the pros and cons, Kato Seisai immediately spoke to the Japanese major standing to the side.
"Reply: Kato Battalion is engaged in fierce fighting with the remnants of the Red Army. The battle is expected to end in three hours. After the battle, proceed immediately to search for the whereabouts of Sugimoto's Special Attack Team."
The Japanese major was taken aback. They hadn't been fighting the remaining Red Army enemies.
But he still dared not disobey his captain's orders.
"Hi."
The Japanese major immediately ran towards the communications room.
Kato Seisai looked at the Japanese major who did not ask why he had lied.
He nodded in agreement, satisfied.
He decided to resolve his own problems first before searching for the Sugimoto Special Forces and the two aircraft. This way, if he sent a large battalion there, they could hold out until the city of Hara received support, no matter what happened.
With this in mind, Kato Seisai began to consider the attack plan, thinking that he would have Xiao Liangjie assemble the troops after sending the telegram. Twenty minutes later, they would launch a night attack on the remaining Red Party troops on the high ground.
Bai Luo, who was perched on the wall, also overheard the conversation between the two Japanese soldiers.
He couldn't help but raise an eyebrow; it turned out there were troublemakers among the Japanese soldiers.
But none of that matters. Now that he has found his target, Bai Luo has begun to take action.
They quickly planted remote-controlled bombs around the yard, and while the patrolmen in the yard weren't paying attention, they quickly threw the remaining four remote-controlled bombs from the bag into the corner of the main house.
Seeing the Japanese lieutenant colonel who had already stepped into the house and seemed to be deep in thought, Bai Luo gave a sinister laugh. Even if the bomb doesn't kill you, I'll still crush you.
After emptying the remote-controlled bomb from the sack, Bai Luo hid on a rooftop about 50 meters diagonally opposite the Japanese command post.
Bai Luo took out the detonator and pressed the detonation button directly.
"Boom boom boom boom..."
The deafening explosion echoed throughout the village. Because of Bai Luo's offer of extra quantity for the same price, the Japanese battalion command post was instantly destroyed.
Bai Luo dropped at least 30 remote-controlled bombs around the yard, which was less than 200 square meters.
After confirming through radar that all the Japanese soldiers inside were dead, Bai Luo prepared to evacuate and meet up with Zhuge Ming to see what the Japanese would do next.
At this point, the Japanese soldiers were in complete chaos due to the continuous explosions in the village. Some ran into the village to rescue their comrades, while others ran out of the village, fearing there might still be bombs.
Because Bai Luo dropped bombs wherever he passed through areas infested with Japanese soldiers, and even made a special detour to reach out to those in large Japanese-soldiered areas, most of the houses in the village were destroyed.
The Japanese soldiers in the village also suffered heavy casualties, and the cries of agony of the Japanese soldiers could be heard continuously.
The only unaffected area was the Japanese positions behind the village.
Bai Luo jumped off the roof and easily took out two Japanese soldiers who were trying to avoid the explosion. At that moment, an unexpected sound came from the direction behind the village.
"Beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep~~~ Beep be ...
The sound was clearly the rallying cry of the Red Party.
"Damn it, is this how you behave? I sabotaged you so you could retreat while the Japanese were in disarray, not so you could charge! Don't you know there are still nearly 700 Japanese soldiers ahead of you?"
Bai Luo stood beside the two Japanese soldiers' corpses and sighed to himself.
In fact, the Second Regiment of the West had no other choice. Behind their high ground was a cliff about 20 meters high. Normally, it would be fine when marching, as they could just lower a rope down.
But now almost everyone in their regiment is injured, with more than 100 seriously wounded, including their political commissar. There are now less than 400 people left.
They definitely couldn't leave their seriously wounded behind and evacuate on their own.
So when they realized there was no way to retreat, the soldiers of the Second Regiment of the West were already prepared to fight the Japanese to the death, and the Japanese battalion commander, Kato Seisai, also realized that this unit was already at its last gasp.
After surveying the surrounding terrain, he decided to first surround the remnants of the Red Army. Based on his experience, the group would be wounded and its fighting capacity would be greatly reduced within a day.
It can be said that Kato Seisai played his cards well, using a short period of time to reduce the casualties of his own troops. If it weren't for the order from headquarters, he wouldn't have decided to launch a night raid on the high ground where the Red Party was located.
Such officers were rare in the Japanese army; if they had lived, they might have risen to the rank of general.
But it's no use saying anything now; he's already been exposed by Bai Luo.
Now that the Red Party has already sounded the charge, Bai Luo has given up on the idea of retreating and is ready to fight.
Just then, Bai Luo heard Sha Niu's voice in his earphones.
"Xiao Luo, Uncle and the others rushed down too, where do I go?"
After hearing what the silly girl said, Bai Luo thought for a moment and then replied.
“You stay on the mountain and cover them, I’ll go to the back of the village to support the besieged Red Army fighters.”
"it is good."
As soon as the voice fell, Bai Luo heard Barrett's roar coming from the hillside where the silly girl was hiding.
Bai Luo's lips twitched. Couldn't she use 191? This spendthrift woman.
Despite his thoughts, Bai Luo's steps were anything but slow. With the help of the monitoring radar in his mind, the two pistols in Bai Luo's hands were practically turned into submachine guns.
The Japanese soldiers in the village, who were still dazed and confused from the bombing, hadn't even had a chance to catch their breath before Bai Luo blew their heads off with a single shot.
The sound of numerous submachine guns could be heard behind Bai Luo.
"Da da da, da da da..."
Zhuge Ming led about 100 Red Army soldiers and rushed quickly toward the back of the village, cursing the First Battalion Commander of the Second Regiment in his heart.
Why not just retreat quietly? Why are you sounding the charge?
However, it was also his fault for not being able to think of a way to notify the besieged Red Army fighters, who had not brought a radio this time.
But this gun is really useful; they've already reached the center of the village.
