Chapter 27: The Suicide Squad

  Looking at the high morale of the troops, Yang Junran was still very satisfied. He needed such a team, an elite force that could fight hard battles.

  But a strange thing happened, the soldiers of the battalion next door were lined up neatly, and no one volunteered to join the dare-to-die corps.

  Watching such an unpleasant scene, Yang Junran walked away with some displeasure.

  "Major, why doesn't your troop go to join the dare-to-die corps?" Yang Junran glared with his own eyes, thinking he had put on a very intimidating expression, and shouted loudly.

  Yang Junran finished speaking and looked at the lieutenant colonel, wanting to see how he would respond. According to Yang Junran's analysis, the lieutenant colonel should have been intimidated by his own words.

  However, Captain Yang was not intimidated and replied loudly: "Report to the superior officer, our whole battalion is a dare-to-die unit, please choose at will."

  Yang Junran listened, but was extremely surprised and looked at Shao Jing with some incredulity.

  "What's your name." Yang Junran became interested in Lieutenant Colonel.

  "I am Lieutenant Colonel Zhang Junzhe, commander of the 1st Battalion of the Northeast Army." The lieutenant colonel replied loudly.

  Yang Junran shouted loudly at Xu Da, who was still busy: "Commander Xu, no need to pick and choose, just let one of your battalions draw a company to follow me into battle."

  Xu Da heard Yang Junran's shout and quickly ran over.

  After seeing Zhang Junzhe and Yang Junran, I was a bit puzzled.

  "Pull out the company's most elite platoon, this time we're going all out." Yang Junran looked at Zhang Junzhe, not hiding the danger of this mission.

  "Fall in and inspect your arms and ammunition!" Zhang Junzhe shouted loudly.

  A team of over a hundred people quickly took a step forward, swiftly pulling out the weapons on them and carefully inspecting them.

  The Mongol army in the distance launched another attack.

  Sato had made up his mind this time and was determined to teach the opposing troops a lesson.

  Two tank battalions are also ready, coordinating with the Mongolian army's offensive.

  Behind them, twelve 105mm field guns continued to fire, suppressing the firepower on the position.

  Don't look at the Japanese army's cannons being few, only twelve, but the shells are more than two thousand, which is enough for the Japanese to toss around for a while.

  Deng Ziyong was not very afraid after seeing the tank, but the shells behind it posed a significant threat to his troops.

  "Deputy commander, Long Yan said that the tanks will be handed over to them, but they are not confident in suppressing the Japanese artillery." A messenger ran quickly along the trenches and said.

  Deng Ziyong nodded and didn't say a word.

  The tanks in the distance are getting closer and closer, and the tank guns have also started firing.

  Two tank battalions had no less tanks, with the help of binoculars observation, Deng Ziyong had already clearly judged.

  The Japanese army had a total of twenty Type 97 tanks and four Type 95 tanks.

  Sato thought his conducting art was high and considered it here as well as in the staff office.

  But he wouldn't know that the troops of the two brigades had quietly circled around from both sides, ready to surround these people.

  The Japanese artillery position was shrouded in smoke.

  Twelve cannons were scattered and hidden in temporary trenches, continuously firing.

  The shells were fired one after another with the Japanese officer's gesture, shooting forward.

  Not far away, Yang Junran had already led more than a hundred people to sneak over quietly.

  "Commander, there are five Type 92 heavy machine guns and three 92-style heavy machine guns covering the artillery position. The guards around are very strict, with more than 50 Japanese soldiers. If we want to take this place without alerting the Japanese army, it's extremely difficult." Zhang Junzhe had already scouted out the situation around before Yang Junran gave the order.

  Yang Junran was very satisfied with this, and he also smiled at Zhang Junzhe.

  "Your grenade launchers, short-range shooting, take out the machine gun firepower for me at the first time. Find a few good shooters and carefully watch the machine gun firepower, beware of the Japanese shooting. The rest of the troops all bayonet, follow me directly to charge over and see red with bayonets." Yang Junran held his own Type 99 rifle, carefully installing the bayonet.

  Zhang Junzhe, with a young master's demeanor, unexpectedly picked up the big knife, which greatly surprised Yang Junran.

  This grenade launcher is a good thing, it can make up for the firepower gap between mortars and hand grenades.

  However, the Japanese army's grenade launcher captured by Yang Junran is the Taisho 11th year type grenade launcher, with an effective range of just over 100 meters.

  The grenadiers had brought their grenade launchers and were crawling cautiously towards the Japanese positions.

  Yang Junran was sweating for them, and if the Japanese army discovered them, all they could expect was death.

  Five Type 89 machine guns have been prepared and are ready to provide cover for the advance of the grenade launcher troops at any time.

  The Japanese army was apparently somewhat complacent, and some machine gun firing points didn't even have any shooters. Some Japanese soldiers were still smoking inside the fortifications.

  Although the grenadiers had used only five minutes, they began quietly digging entrenchments.

  Yang Junran was drenched in cold sweat. He knew the consequences of being discovered by the Japanese army, and at the same time, he admired these grenade-throwing hands very much.

  "Commander, don't worry, these are all veterans, there won't be any problems. Once they finish digging the trenches, they will shoot quickly." Zhang Junzhe, who was standing beside him, seemed to have noticed Yang Junran's worries and comforted him at the same time.

  In no time, the bunker was dug out, and the grenade launcher team quickly set up their launchers and started firing.

  "Charge!" Yang Junran shouted loudly as he saw the shell being launched and quickly held up his bayonet.

  The warriors behind saw Yang Junran rush out, without any hesitation, and followed Yang Junran's back to launch a surprise attack on the Japanese artillery.

  The miniature grenade launcher's explosion sound is very loud, seemingly like a cannonball.

  The Japanese army's firepower points have all been hit, and seeing the soldiers charging from afar, they are all surprised.

  These Japanese troops reacted quickly and swiftly ran towards each machine gun firing point.

  Some firepower points deputy shooters have started re-shooting again.

  However, the grenadiers saw this situation and quickly launched mini-grenades to cover the troops' attack.

  The Japanese troops saw they could not organize firepower and quickly charged towards the unit with rifles.

  Not far away, Sato heard the sound of gunfire and quickly raised his binoculars to observe the situation on the artillery position.

  "Despicable Chinese, order the cavalry regiment to quickly support the artillery position." Sato shouted loudly in fluent Chinese to Li Shouxin beside him.

  Li Shouxin saw that the artillery position behind him was being attacked, and he became flustered. He wasn't worried about the Japanese casualties, but rather that his own retreat route would be cut off.

  Perhaps it's true that worrying about something will make it happen, and several cavalrymen in the distance are already galloping towards here.

  "Deputy Commander, it's not good! Our two wings have been attacked by a large number of National Army troops. They are numerous and well-equipped. The brothers can't hold on anymore." The cavalry shouted loudly as soon as they saw Li Shouxin, without even dismounting to salute.

  Li Shouxin was flustered, but still glanced at Sato beside him.

  "Refuse, organize troops to resist immediately." Sato's face looked a bit unsightly and he shouted loudly.

  Li Shouxin took a look at the cavalry and knew that if he could resist, his trusted men would not come to deliver the message.

  "Retreat, retreat immediately!" Li Shouxin shouted loudly, regardless of Sato's expression.

  The surrounding Mongolian military officers quickly mounted their war horses and followed behind Li Shoushen.

  "Hachiko, you're dead! You're really dead!" Shouted Sato loudly, but no one paid attention to him.

  "Retreat immediately and inform the tank squadron to reinforce the artillery position." Sato shouted to the orderly beside him while mounting his warhorse.

  The orderly nodded and quickly ran towards the battlefield ahead.

  Kang Lianqin and Qin Litian's two detachments had already circled around from both wings.

  To say Li Shouxin still has a certain level of command ability, otherwise he wouldn't have escaped so quickly.

  Li Shouxin arranged cavalry regiments on both wings of the attacking troops, ensuring the safety of both wings at all times.

  These cavalrymen reported the situation quickly after discovering the National Army troops.

  It must be said that these cavalry division troops were still very brave and directly launched an attack on the National Army.

  Facing these war horses, the warriors didn't show any courtesy either, directly putting their weapons on the ground and quickly starting to shoot.

  These Mongolian cavalrymen had probably never seen so many light and heavy machine guns in their lives.

  After a barrage of firepower, they abandoned many war horses and retreated quickly.

  But on the artillery position of the Japanese army, it was a different scene.

  The few Japanese troops had already begun a fierce hand-to-hand combat with Yang Junran's dare-to-die corps.

  Yang Junran's bayonet skills were quite lazy, according to his level, he shouldn't have been at a disadvantage in a face-to-face bayonet fight with the Japanese army.

  But he would rather hold a rifle in one hand and his own shotgun in the other to deal with the Japanese army, than focus on bayonet fighting with the Japanese.

  "Bang." With a gunshot, a Japanese army lieutenant fell to the ground with a puzzled expression.

  Zhang Junzhe's face was full of black lines as he watched Yang Junran shoot a black gun for the fourth time in the midst of the intense battle.

  "Hurry up and occupy the artillery position." Yang Junran shouted loudly as he looked at the dust in the distance.

  Zhang Junzhe was not a fool, he knew what the dust meant, leaving one row to continue stabbing, Zhang Junzhe had already ordered the remaining two rows to rush towards the artillery position on the side.

  The sound of horseshoes in the distance was getting closer and closer. Whether it was Yang Junran or Zhang Junzhe, they both knew what they were about to face.

  "Cavalry, it's the Mongolian army cavalry." Someone shouted loudly.
