Chapter 605: Pass on my order immediately. Kill Yamamoto's special forces at all costs!
"Comrade Xiuqin, Lao Li is a cat, and he has nine lives. You really don't need to worry about him. Even if the Japanese send heavy troops to besiege Ping'an County, I can guarantee that Lao Li can break out safely. Our air force battalion is not a decoration, and it can definitely give the Japanese a good beating!" Lin Zhenhua quickly stepped forward to comfort her.
Zhao Gang and Lin Zhenhua are the matchmakers for Li Yunlong and Zhao Xiuqin. According to the previous plan, they will get married in six days. Now Li Yunlong is trapped in Ping'an County, and Zhao Xiuqin is very worried.
After getting the assurance from the two, Zhao Xiuqin's worries were half relieved. As she still had things to do, she chatted briefly with Zhao Gang and Lin Zhenhua and then left the independent regiment headquarters.
Looking at Zhao Xiuqin's departing back, Zhao Gang said with some worry: "College student, the situation outside is a little unclear. I think it's better for us to give up Ping'an County early. First retract our fists, find the right opportunity, and then punch out!"
After thinking for a while, Lin Zhenhua retorted in a firm tone: "Old Zhao, we have no way out now. Ping'an County must not fall into the hands of the devils. No matter how much it costs, we must defend it!"
"The medicinal materials that Lao Li bought before have helped us a lot. The pharmaceutical factory that was about to shut down has started producing pills at full capacity again. Ping'an County has become a collection point for our important supplies. If it falls into the hands of the devils, we will face the dilemma of having money but not being able to buy anything."
"In the past half month, we have spent 100 million yuan in Ping'an County to purchase various materials. We even purchased several hundred kilograms of rare metals, which we were seriously short of. Not to mention the Chinese medicine pills that account for half of the drug trade and have become our new source of income."
"I have already managed to withdraw two battalions of troops from the base, ready to reinforce Ping'an County at any time. We must fight this battle. As long as we can crush the enemy's attack this time, Ping'an County will fall into our hands completely. Using Ping'an County, we can quickly get in touch with the brigade and the headquarters, and we can also use Ping'an County as a base to recruit talents. In short, there are too many benefits. We really can't give it up unless we have no other choice!"
After listening to Lin Zhenhua's reasons, Zhao Gang also understood how important it was to keep the county safe, and he did not continue to object. The base was now consuming materials at a very fast rate, and if they did not find ways to replenish them quickly, it was very likely that even the people would not be able to get enough food, clothing, and shelter.
What the two did not expect was that Yamamoto Ikki had sneaked in. Even Lin Zhenhua had lost his vigilance and thought that Zhao Xiuqin could not be caught. He did not strengthen the guard of Zhaojiayu. There was only one guard company stationed in Zhaojiayu, which was very weak.
Yamamoto Ikki waited until nine o'clock in the evening before taking action. The 36-member special agent team was responsible for three targets. Team one was responsible for kidnapping Zhao Xiuqin, team two was responsible for kidnapping Zhao Gang, and team three was responsible for kidnapping Lin Zhenhua.
"Each team must be extremely careful when taking action, and make as little noise as possible, so as not to attract the attention of the Chinese soldiers. It is now 9:06, and we will take action in four minutes. In one hour, we will gather here again."
Under the command of Yamamoto Ikki, the special agent teams quickly dispersed and went to complete their goals. The kidnapping of Special Agent Team 1 was the most successful. After killing two militiamen, they successfully sneaked into the village and captured Zhao Xiuqin who was sewing shoe soles.
In order to prevent Zhao Xiuqin from shouting, the Japanese directly stuffed a rag into her mouth and trapped her tightly. The team of agents who completed the mission quickly rushed to the retreat site.
Under the cover of darkness, the second team of special agents sneaked into the vicinity of the independent regiment headquarters and launched a surprise attack on the sentries guarding the door. One of the sentries who was attacked pulled the trigger of the Mauser rifle before being killed. A crisp gunshot rang out in the darkness, startling Zhao Gang who was working.
"Xiao Ma, call Captain Xu of the Guard Company immediately and tell him that the regiment headquarters has been attacked. Ask him to bring people to support us immediately."
"Everyone, stay in your room and don't go out. We may have encountered some Japanese invaders. If we go out now, we will be like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth."
Zhao Gang's reaction was indeed very fast, but the Japanese reacted not slow either. As soon as the gunshots were heard, they knew that the sneak attack would be difficult to succeed, and they immediately launched a strong attack on the independent regiment's headquarters.
"Bagayalu! Our actions have been discovered by the enemy. There is no need to hide any longer. We must break into the independent regiment headquarters at all costs and capture the core leader Zhao Gang!"
Under the command of the Japanese squad leader, 11 Japanese soldiers rushed into the independent regiment with submachine guns, and the sound of gunfire and explosions rang out one after another in the regiment. After encountering the Japanese surprise attack, a guard platoon stationed in the regiment fought back tenaciously, and a fierce exchange of fire broke out between the enemy and us.
Because Lin Zhenhua went to the arsenal for something, the mission of the Japanese special agent team 3 could not be completed at all. After hearing the gunshots from the independent regiment headquarters, the special agent team 3 immediately went to support under the leadership of Yamamoto Ikki.
The second team of special agents, which received support, successfully broke into the headquarters of the independent regiment. The soldiers of the guard company who went to reinforce the headquarters of the independent regiment were ambushed by a team of Japanese special agents on the way, and the casualties were extremely heavy.
The Japanese special forces were truly elite in this infiltration operation. Their combat power was very strong, and they inflicted huge casualties on the guard company. In less than a quarter of an hour of fighting, the guard company's casualties had exceeded 60%, and Zhao Gang's situation was even more precarious.
The moment Lin Zhenhua heard the gunshots, he immediately called Zhao Gang. After the headquarters of the Dezhishi Independent Regiment was attacked, he immediately mobilized six Rabbit armored vehicles and rushed to the headquarters of the Independent Regiment.
Zhao Gang knew that the reinforcements were rushing to the scene after hearing the news. He only needed to hold on for another 20 minutes to be completely safe. However, plans could not keep up with changes. There were only 16 people left in the regiment who could continue to fight. With the weapons in their hands, it was really difficult for them to hold on for another 20 minutes.
Captain Xu knew that if Zhao Gang continued to stay in the regiment headquarters, he would most likely become a prisoner of the Japanese. He immediately ordered the communicator Xiao Ma and two other soldiers to forcibly evacuate Zhao Gang from the regiment headquarters, while he led the remaining 12 soldiers to continue to block the enemy and fight for a way of survival for them.
"Captain Xu, I, Zhao Gang, will never abandon the soldiers and leave. As long as we hold on for another 20 minutes, reinforcements will arrive, and by then, not a single Japanese soldier will be able to escape..."
Before Zhao Gang could finish his words, he was dragged out of the back door by two soldiers. Then fierce fighting broke out again in the regiment headquarters. Five minutes later, the gunfire stopped completely.
"Colonel Yamamoto, Zhao Gang has escaped from the command center. Let's chase him now. No matter what, we can't let him get away!" Zhu Ziming said with a grim expression.
Yamamoto Ikki waved his hand and immediately led the remaining 18 Japanese soldiers to pursue Zhao Gang. In order to cover Zhao Gang's evacuation, two soldiers from the guard company volunteered to stay behind to cover his retreat. They also killed a member of the Japanese special forces and both died heroically.
"Xiao Ma, we may not be able to escape today. Even if we die, we must take a Japanese soldier with us as a scapegoat." Zhao Gang spoke in a serious tone, holding two turtle boxes in his hands.
Xiao Ma was panting heavily, enduring the pain in his leg. Just as he was about to ask Zhao Gang to attack first while he would cover their retreat, Yamamoto Ikki had already arrived with his men. In order to protect Zhao Gang's safety, Xiao Ma was hit by two bullets and fell into a coma.
Zhao Gang was not much better off. He was also hit by the Japanese soldiers and could no longer maintain a squatting position. He fell to the ground. After a few gunshots, he killed a member of the Japanese special forces. When he was about to pull the trigger again, he found that the bullets in both pistols were exhausted. In desperation, he could only take out the five grenades on his waist and threw four of them at the attacking Japanese soldiers. There were loud explosions and another member of the Japanese special forces was injured. But the Japanese soldiers were not easy to mess with. They used a tricky angle to hit Zhao Gang again, making Zhao Gang completely lose the ability to fight back.
In order not to be captured by the devils, Zhao Gang prepared a glorious bullet for himself. Just as he was about to pull the trigger on the grenade and die with the devils, Lin Zhenhua arrived at this critical moment. Six Rabbit armored vehicles fired madly at the devils' special forces. Yamamoto Ikki, who felt that he had lost his chance, immediately ordered the special forces to retreat.
"Special Agent Team Two is responsible for providing cover. We must stop the enemy's armored vehicles at all costs. Special Agent Team Three, follow me and join Special Agent Team One to quickly withdraw from Zhaojiayu!"
Under Yamamoto Ikki's order, the Japanese began to withdraw from the battle with alternating cover. Lin Zhenhua jumped out of the armored vehicle only after confirming it was safe. He immediately arranged for two soldiers to carry Zhao Gang into the armored vehicle. Then he found the communicator Xiao Ma not far away, and quickly carried him into another armored vehicle with another soldier.
Two armored vehicles were assigned to protect the two men, and four of them rushed toward the First Field Hospital. Lin Zhenhua led the remaining two armored vehicles to pursue the Japanese.
"Pass the order down immediately, instructing all checkpoints to step up their alert. No matter what the cost, catch that damn Yamamoto Ikki!" Lin Zhenhua ordered angrily.
