Ye Ming and Xie Yuan were hiding in the corridor on the second floor of an apartment, looking coldly at the Japanese advancing along the road through the gap between the cement guardrails.
More than fifty Japanese soldiers held bayonets in their hands and walked forward cautiously with their waists bent.
In the blink of an eye, the Japanese were already within fifty meters. A clear gunshot suddenly rang out. It was Shi Changqing, the commander of the lone battalion, who fired. Then, from behind the private houses on both sides of the cross-border road construction and the temporary barricades, people appeared. More than forty soldiers from the lone camp emerged, three machine guns and more than thirty rifles fired fiercely at the same time, forming a tight fire net that covered the more than fifty Japanese who were bending forward.
The six or seven Japanese who were walking at the front immediately fell down.
The Japanese who followed immediately fell to the ground, raised their guns and started shooting.
The companies and platoons of the solitary army battalion immediately started to exchange fire with the Japanese attack team. Both sides were almost the same in terms of military strength and firepower, and their tactical literacy was similar. Therefore, no one could overwhelm the other in a short period of time. The exchange of fire lasted for more than ten seconds. After a few minutes, the Japs' supporting firepower came up, but with just two grenades thrown, row after row of machine guns went silent.
Ye Ming instinctively raised his rifle, and when he was about to fire, Xie Yuan shook his head slightly.
The firefight below continued. After a while, one company after another began to retreat. Seeing the lone army camp beginning to retreat, the Japs stood up one after another and chased forward while firing. Soon, the Japs had caught up with Xie Yuan and Ye Ming. Near the apartment building where they were ambushing, until this moment, the little devil had not paid attention to the buildings on both sides.
It's not that the little devils were careless, but that they didn't even bother to divide their troops to search.
Xie Yuan smiled ferociously and gently pressed down the index finger of his right hand that was on the trigger.
Just hearing the sound of a horn, a bloody mist suddenly appeared behind the ears of a Japanese officer who was yelling with a saber, and then he fell forward and fell to the ground.
The next moment, Ye Ming also pulled the trigger. A 7.92mm-caliber pointed Mauser bullet spun high, flew through the void less than fifty meters in an instant, and shot through the head of another Japanese officer. The bullet It entered through the Jaap officer's right temple, and then penetrated through the left cheek, blowing off most of his skull.
Xie Yuan's gunfire was an order. More than 40 sharpshooters who had been ambushing on the roofs of apartment buildings, private houses and factories on both sides of the cross-border road opened fire one after another. Rows of officers and soldiers who were retreating also turned around. He stood up and opened fire violently. Under the double blow of the company and the sniper platoon, the Japanese who were advancing along the cross-border road construction fell down one after another. In the blink of an eye, more than fifty Japanese soldiers had fallen. More than half.
The remaining half didn't even care about their injured companions, turned around and retreated hastily.
After firing a shot, Xie Yuan immediately picked up the Enfield rifle and shook his head at Ye Ming: "Withdraw!"
The next moment, Xie Yuan and Ye Ming evacuated the apartment building where they had been hiding without hesitation, and the other forty sharpshooters who were lying in wait elsewhere also evacuated without a trace of hesitation. It's really good. Every sharpshooter executed the orders given by Xu Rui meticulously.
Xie Yuan and the more than forty sharpshooters from the sniper platoon had just evacuated, and the Japanese's retaliatory firepower arrived. Rows of grenades and mortar shells instantly overwhelmed the sniper platoon's sniper position. Xie Yuan and Ye Ming The apartment building where he was hiding was hit by several mortar shells at the same time and collapsed instantly.

At the end of Robertson Road, there is a three-story bungalow.
This three-story house has become a temporary headquarters for the Japanese army. An observation post was even set up on the rooftop of the third floor, and an artillery mirror was set up to observe the cross-border road construction ahead.
At this time, Yingzuo Zhenzhao was squatting behind the artillery mirror.
However, Yingzuo Zhenzhao's face was so gloomy that he could almost scratch off the frost.
Obviously, the scene that just happened greatly exceeded Yingzuo Zhenzhao's expectations. Yingzuo Zhenzhao did not expect that a remnant National Army barracks that had been detained by the British for nearly two years did not collapse and actually remained intact. Although the attack just now was just a tentative attack, Yingzuo Zhenzhao had no hope that just a tentative attack could defeat the lone army camp. However, the infantry squad that went into the attack would be defeated so quickly. Moreover, Yingzuo Zhenzhao never expected such a tragic defeat.
In fact, this is also because Yingzuo Zhenzhao never participated in the Battle of Songhu.
If Yingzuo Zhenzhao had participated in the first stage of the Battle of Songhu, he would never have taken it lightly.
"Baga Yalu." Yingzuo Zhenzhao straightened up from behind the artillery mirror, turned around and said to Li Shiqun, "Li Sang, your people on No. 76 will be responsible for the next attack."
The disastrous failure of the first probing attack caught Yingzuo Zhenzhao off guard, but it also woke him up, so Yingzuo Zhenzhao gave the task of testing the attack to No. 76 without hesitation.
"Hai." Although Li Shiqun was reluctant, he could only nod.
"But..." Li Shiqun paused, and then said with a flattering face, "Your Excellency, Colonel, can I make a small request?"
"Request?" Yingzuo Zhenzhao's expression turned colder and said, "What request?"
Li Shiqun continued to smile flatteringly and said, "Can you turn off the street lights that are building roads across the border?"
"Street light?" Yingzuo Zhenzhao also reacted immediately, and immediately gave Li Shiqun a thumbs up and said, "Yoshi, Li Sang, you are very smart." After saying that, Yingzuo Zhenzhao turned around and ordered Kawamoto Ryota, the adjutant behind him. , "Kawamoto-kun, ask Kojima-san to immediately send a team to knock down the street lights on both sides of the cross-border road construction."
The little devil's marksmanship is actually very good. He can hit almost 100 times when hitting a human-shaped target within 600 meters, and he can hit 19 times when hitting a street light within 400 meters. Therefore, in less than a moment, all the street lights on both sides of Robertson Road were completely destroyed. Even the power lines were interrupted, and the entire Robertson Road was immediately plunged into darkness.
Li Shiqun's intention was to take advantage of the sneaky advantage of Agent No. 76 to wipe out the Gujun camp in the chaos while it was dark. However, Li Shiqun's idea was too naive. Not to mention that the soldiers of the Gujun camp were not afraid of night fighting and close combat. What's more, there are two special forces soldiers in Gujun Camp: Xu Rui and Di Gua.
Lord Ma Ye Ming is not a good person either.
In the boundless darkness, a feast of killing was staged magnificently.
In less than half an hour, the first group of special agents who went into the attack were killed to pieces. More than a hundred agents, only a dozen of them escaped in the end, and the rest were either killed or captured. Captain Liu Zichen was also injured. If he hadn't jumped into the sewer when he saw the opportunity, he might have become a prisoner.
At this time, Yingzuo Zhenzhao finally realized that he had underestimated the enemy.
The most rational choice at this time is to withdraw troops immediately and give up this operation.
However, Yingzuo Zhenzhao was a little unwilling, because this military operation was his first independent command. If his first independent command was defeated, it would undoubtedly be extremely detrimental to his future. Therefore, Yingzuo Zhenzhao Zhao ignored the strong objections of the infantry battalion captain Kojima Shun and issued the order to storm.
In order to gain some merit in battle, Yingzuo Zhenzhao also worked hard.
Kojima Ken's objections were ineffective, and he could only concentrate two infantry squadrons, spread out from Robertson Road and the alleys on both sides, and push forward at the same time. Shadow Masaaki intended to force the solitary battalion to face the battle head-on, so that the Japanese army could rely on its strength , firepower advantage to gain battlefield advantage, and ultimately turn the advantage into victory and achieve final victory.

The Japs had just unfolded, and Xu Rui had already noticed it. With his keen six senses, although Xu Rui couldn't hear what the Japs were saying in the distance, he could clearly distinguish the footsteps of the Japs within a kilometer, and then based on these The sound of footsteps identified the number of Japanese soldiers and their route of advancement.
In the boundless darkness, Xu Rui suddenly opened his eyes.
"Commander!" Digua immediately asked eagerly, "How is it?"
"It looks like the little devil wants us to shave him off." Xu Rui said with a ferocious murderous intent on his lips, and then continued, "This time, unexpectedly, he no longer strictly followed the infantry drills to attack, but a So we dispatched two infantry squadrons and crushed them directly from the front."
"Two infantry squadrons?" Digua said horrifiedly, "They were really desperate."
Xu Rui turned back and waved to the guard platoon leader Madan who was following him.
Madan is the platoon leader of the Gorkha Royal Infantry Battalion and directly under the guard platoon, but now he is the guard platoon leader of Xu Rui. When he saw Xu Rui waving, Madan hurried over.
"Madan." Xu Rui said in English, "Order the infantry company of the Gurkha Royal Infantry Battalion to enter the position immediately to take over the first company of the lone army battalion. The second and third companies of the Gorkha Company are responsible for protecting the two wings, and the machine gun company and the artillery company are peaceful. Attached to the 1st Infantry Company to coordinate defensive positions, Ayou Claire (did you hear it clearly)?”
"Yes!" Madan stamped his feet in agreement, then turned around and called a few soldiers.
After a while, several Gurkha soldiers separated and disappeared into the night.
Di Gua has been in various entertainment venues all year round, and has come into contact with many foreigners. He can actually understand a little English. He immediately asked Xu Rui: "Commander, you have mobilized all the Gorkha Royal Infantry Battalion. How can the lone army battalion be used?" There's nothing left to do, you don't want to take the lone army battalion to poke the little devil in the ass, do you?"
Xu Rui patted the back of Sweet Potato's head and scolded with a smile: "Did you guess this? That's okay."
Digua chuckled and said, "I knew it was never your style to just take a beating without fighting back, Commander."
"It's a pity that the kid opposite doesn't know." Xu Rui chuckled and said, "So, the kid is destined to fall into a big fight this time."
