Chapter 10 Fire reconnaissance!

"I don't know whether the old Japs Sakata Nobori will be fooled or not, but judging from the current situation, we are very likely to kill some more Japs here in the Old Wolf Valley."

Xu Rui said: "Laolang Valley is a great place. We can use a small force to block the pursuit of more than 3,000 troops from Bantian Regiment."

"Even if the ambush fails, it will not be a problem for the Third Battalion to leave a company behind and block the hills on both sides of the valley entrance in the southeast direction of Laolang Valley. It will not be a problem to block the pursuit of the Sakata Alliance."

Chief of Staff Luo Youdu thought about it and realized that this was also the case.

What's more, Laolang Valley is now somewhat on the edge of the depths of Hutou Mountain.

Even if the Sakata Alliance continued to pursue them through Laolang Valley, Luo Youdu would not believe that this old devil, Sakata Nobuori, would dare to continue the pursuit.

Night combat is the strength of the 303rd Regiment.

"Let's wait and see if Sakata Nobori, an old devil, dares to pursue him when he encounters resistance here. We'll tell you later."

Xu Rui patted Chief of Staff Luo Youdu on the shoulder and smiled, feeling very relaxed.

"Um!!!"

Luo Youdu thought for a while, then nodded and responded with a smile.

Soon, the Old Wolf Valley fell into silence again. The surrounding mountain wind blew by, and a chilling atmosphere immediately filled the Old Wolf Valley.

At this time, the Japanese troops from Sakata Nobori Command Post were chasing towards Laolang Valley in the darkness of night, following the traces of large-scale people and horses left by the 303rd Regiment along the way.

More than twenty minutes later, the mouth of the valley in the southeast direction of Old Wolf Valley appeared in Sakata Nobori's sight.

"Stop moving forward!!!"

Sakata Nobori led his troops to catch up to a position less than 50 meters away from Laolang Valley, and then ordered to stop advancing.

Suddenly, more than three thousand Japanese soldiers stopped running.

"Made, the old devil is more cautious!"

Inside the Old Wolf Valley, on the top of the highest mountain on the northeast side, Xu Rui looked down from a high position and saw the Japs troops chasing them to the southeast of the Old Wolf Valley and stopping in front of the valley entrance at night, and he couldn't help but said with a stern expression.

"Command brothers, prepare for battle!"

Then, Xu Rui ordered in a low voice to a messenger on the side.

"Yes, Danzao!!!"

The messenger responded, and immediately the cat bent down to deliver the order.

At this time, Sakata Nobori, who ordered to stop advancing, asked someone to bring him a telescope fifty meters in front of the mouth of the valley in the southeast direction of Laolang Valley.

Then, taking advantage of the good night light, we observed the southeastern entrance of Laolang Valley and the hills on both sides.

"This is a valley mouth!"

Sakata Nobori frowned, he always felt eerie and chilling.

"Captain, according to the map, this place is called Old Wolf Valley."

At this time, the commander of the regiment's staff, Major Dokno Taro, who was following him, immediately took a step closer and whispered: "The terrain inside the Old Wolf Valley is flat, and the width of the valley mouth in the northwest is not much different from the width of the valley mouth in front of you."

"Suitable for an ambush, commander, do you want to retreat?"

Sakata Nobori shook his head and said: "We have already chased here. We cannot stop chasing just because this place is suitable for an ambush."

"In this way, order the mortar team to go forward and cover the hills on both sides of the valley entrance in the east-west direction of Laolang Valley with artillery fire and conduct fire reconnaissance."

Seeing this, Dokno Taro thought the same thing. We have chased them all the way here. We can't really retreat just because there is a danger of being ambushed. Then the pursuit would really be in vain.

"Hai, captain."

Taro Dokno paused heavily and whispered in a low voice, then immediately waved his hand back and ordered: "The mortar team comes forward, aim at the hills on both sides of the valley entrance, cover it with artillery fire, and conduct fire reconnaissance!".

"Yes, Chief of Staff!"

The Japanese soldiers who received the order immediately conveyed the order.

Soon, a Japanese artillery team came forward with three mortars, quickly set up the mortars and adjusted the bombardment parameters.

"Captain, the bombardment is ready!"

Soon, the Japanese artillery squad leader reported to Sakata Noboritsu.

“Clang!!!”

Sakata Nobori nodded, then drew out his samurai sword and slashed it down towards the southeastern entrance of the Old Wolf Valley fifty meters ahead.

"fire!"

Sakata Nobori shouted.

"Boom-boom-boom! Boom-boom-boom!!"

Following Sakata Nobori's order, the Japanese artilleryman who had already held the cannonball put down the cannonball. With the free fall, the cannonball fell to the bottom of the barrel, and was then knocked out by the detonation impact of the propellant.

"Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much!!!"

The shrill screams of artillery shells were heard in the sky, and the tail flames of the artillery shells were reflected in the night, and soon hit the valley entrance in the southeast of the Old Wolf Valley and the hills on both sides, exploding into balls of dazzling red light.

!

"Boom boom boom, boom boom!!"

The deafening explosion immediately resounded over the entire silent Old Wolf Valley.

"Hidden, hidden!!"

The first and second companies of the third battalion, which were ambushed on the hills on both sides of the valley entrance in the southeast direction of Laolang Valley, and part of the reconnaissance company immediately took shelter under the personal command of the third battalion commander Chu Hua.

Fortunately, there are some caves behind the hills on both sides of the valley entrance.

Chu Hua saw it as early as the moment the Japanese mortars were brought out to set up artillery.

Only an observation post was left on the ambush position, and the others had already hid in the cave behind the mountain to avoid the bombardment.

"Made, the enemy's shelling is quite fierce!"

The third battalion commander, Chu Hua, was hiding in a cave. Hearing the loud explosion outside, he couldn't help but curse.

At this time, Sakata Nobori, who was watching the bombardment, held a telescope and observed the situation of the bombardment.

"There were no screams and no counterattack. It seems that Xu Rui's troops did not ambush in Laolang Valley."

Nobori Sakata saw that the bombardment lasted for a minute, but he did not hear any enemy troops being bombed out on the hills on both sides of the valley entrance in the southeast direction of Laolang Valley.

"Captain, do you want to continue the bombardment?"

The commander of the regiment's staff, Major Dotano Taro, asked.

"Continue the bombardment for one minute!"

After thinking about it, Sakata Nobori said: "After the bombardment is over, send an infantry team carrying two light machine guns and two grenade launchers. They will first enter the Old Wolf Valley and conduct fire reconnaissance on the surrounding mountains inside the Old Wolf Valley."

.

"As soon as you don't find any enemy ambushes inside, come back and report immediately!"

Dokno Taro secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, Sakata Nobori did not directly order all the troops to enter the Old Wolf Valley.

After all, it is just a fire reconnaissance of Taniguchi.

We can't see the specific situation in Old Wolf Valley. It's better to send a reconnaissance team in to investigate to make sure there is no danger inside.

"Yes, Captain."

Taro Dokno nodded and immediately made arrangements.

After continuing to bombard the mouth of the valley southeast of Laolang Valley for a minute, Sakata Nobori ordered the bombardment to stop.

Then, under the command of the infantry team leader, an infantry squad of about fifty Japanese soldiers cautiously walked toward the southeastern entrance of Laolang Valley.
