The continuous explosions caused Yasuda Squadron to suffer a heavy loss, killing and wounding more than a dozen people, especially the injured personnel, which was even more annoying. Each casualty had to be taken care of by at least three people. Fortunately, the brigade had a large number of puppet troops.

Yasuda already figured out what was going on. The cunning Eighth Route Army actually used the corpses of the Imperial Army warriors to make bombs. How abominable!

"Bagayalu! These Eighth Route Army are cunning and cunning!"

After Yasuda vented his anger, he still ordered other personnel to collect firewood. Two teams were responsible for guarding, and the others were responsible for cremating the brave warriors. This time it was a serious matter!

Many Japanese soldiers were blown into parts, and Yasuda burned them immediately. When burning, Yasuda also organized a ceremony.

君が世は

Chiyo and Yachiyo

さざれ石の

巌となりて

moss no raw すまで

It's "Kimi no Shiro" again, but it's a pity that Shitou and the others have left, otherwise I might have given them some extra content!

After the cremation, Yasuda ordered people to collect some of the ashes, then carried the wounded and evacuated. Anyway, this kind of cremation has more symbolic meaning than practical significance. It just gives the living people some thoughts.

After Yasuda returned to the brigade, he reported the situation to Taniguchi. Old Japanese Taniguchi didn't have any good ideas. During the war, anything could happen. Twenty or so people could only admit it with their noses pinched.

After this attack, Gutian began to pay attention to the Eighth Route Army and was no longer arrogant.

He specifically told the remaining dozen cavalrymen that they were only responsible for searching the two wings and were not allowed to chase them out to avoid being ambushed by the enemy.

This round of ambush delayed the Japanese for nearly two hours, and Taniguchi was no longer optimistic about the prospects of the trip to Liu Town.

The opponent is far more difficult than he thought!

The Yasuda brigade continued to move forward, and soon it was lunch time.

Yasuda ordered the cavalry team to be on guard, while the others ate where they were, using field rations, which was very convenient.

At the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese supplies were quite good. Each person had a salted fish rice ball and a can of beef. There was also a little bit of beef in the can, which could make up for the huge consumption of long-distance marches.

The same cannot be said for the puppet troops. One pancake per person is too dry to be eaten.

"Damn it, these devils, they enjoy the hot and spicy food themselves, and they give it to me!"

"Erkui, what the hell are you mumbling about? If you eat some, it's good. If the imperial army hears it, you'll have to twist your head off!"

"Platoon leader, if we only eat this stuff every day, why should we sacrifice our lives for the little devils? It's better to go up the mountain and become a bandit than this, so as not to have someone poke you in the back every day."

"Erkui, shut the hell up! If you continue to disturb the morale of the army, I will kill you without waiting for the imperial army!"

"What are you looking at? If you want to survive, just keep your mouth shut!"

After the puppet platoon leader finished speaking, he stuffed the pancake as hard as a rock in his hand into his big mouth.

"Damn it, I haven't had a good meal at the Jinsui Army while working for the Japanese..."

"Boom boom!"

"Ta-ta-ta-ta!"

There was the sound of submachine guns and grenades exploding, the Eighth Route Army was attacking again, and no one was getting enough food!

"Eight, enemy attack!"

Taniguchi responded quickly, and the Japanese who were eating also picked up their weapons and prepared to fight.

The attack came and went quickly, and the firing time did not exceed two minutes. Before the Japanese army could react, the attackers had already escaped.

Just hit him and go away without any entanglement, leaving the enemy with no one to fight back against.

"Your Excellency, Captain, the Eighth Route Army has been repulsed. Our army has more than 20 casualties, half of which are cavalry. There are only 7 cavalry left in the cavalry squad!"

Yasuda's report made Taniguchi's heart bleed, and more than twenty people were injured or killed!

"Yasuda-kun, send an infantry search team to assist the cavalry in searching both sides of the road. We must wipe out all the cunning Eighth Route Army!"

"Hey!"

Yasuda took the order and left.

After receiving two sap blows, the Taniguchi brigade shrank into a hedgehog. They were moving as fast as a turtle crawling.

The purpose of the Tiger Special Forces was achieved. After the Japs huddled together, Shitou selected a few team members with the best marksmanship, used 38 big guns to harass them from a distance, and eliminated three or five Japs at a time.

When the enemy chased many people, they would mount their horses and run away. If there were few people coming, they would give them a stick.

The focus of the attack was the Japanese cavalry. After several harassments, the Japanese cavalry was finally wiped out, and the Taniguchi brigade became a pure infantry brigade.

It was dark in the blink of an eye. The original plan was to reach Liuzhen that night, but in fact, they only walked less than half of the way, losing more than 30 cavalry and 20 infantry.

Taniguchi has now begun to regret that he went to Liuzhen for the Anping garrison raids. What a beautiful job this was!

"Yasuda-kun, you must be more vigilant at night. Once you find an attacker, use heavy machine guns to suppress it. Don't chase them. Our goal is to spend the night safely."

After suffering several losses, Major Taniguchi has become very realistic. The night is the most dangerous. He can feel that there are many evil wolf-like eyes staring at his team in the dark, and they may pounce at any time.

Take a few bites.

"Your Majesty, Captain, this group of Eighth Route Army troops is too cunning. They should number around twenty people and are very well-equipped. They should be an elite squad of the Eighth Route Army!"

"Their purpose should be to hold us back and buy time for their main force to evacuate."

After hearing this, Taniguchi nodded repeatedly. He very much agreed with Yasuda-kun's judgment.

"Yasuda-kun, you must build a ring of fortifications tonight. Don't be afraid of trouble. Let the Imperial Alliance Army come over to do it. Adjust the marching formation tomorrow and let the Imperial Alliance Army open the front door!"

"Hey, I'm going to notify Masang right now."

Ten minutes after Yasuda left, the puppet troops began to dig trenches.

The Japanese are all prairie dogs. As long as they camp outdoors at night, they will dig field fortifications. This is written into their infantry training code.

After building field fortifications, it would not be easy for the Eighth Route Army to conduct a sneak attack. Unfortunately, what they encountered were unconventional combat troops.

The night is the best ally for special forces!

Naturally, Shitou would not be stupid enough to sneak attack on the Japanese's heavily guarded position. His target was the Japanese's night patrol detachment.

In order to prevent the Eighth Route Army from approaching and attacking at night, Yasui dispatched several patrol teams within 50 meters of the field fortifications. Each patrol team contained about one detachment of Japanese soldiers.

The patrols were only ten minutes apart, leaving no opportunity for the Eighth Route Army to take advantage of them.

Shitou has been observing the patterns of the Japanese patrols in the dark, and is in no hurry to take action. He has to wait for the right time.

He only wanted to come once in the whole night, and teach the Japanese a profound lesson once!

At three o'clock in the morning, there was only a faint starlight in the sky, and the Tengjing detachment of the third squadron of Yasuda Squadron was performing a night patrol mission.

Sergeant Tengjing is an old soldier who has been in the army for seven years and has rich battlefield experience. He knows that at this time, he must be more vigilant!

Three o'clock in the morning is when the human body is most tired, and it is also when an attack is most likely to occur. The Eighth Route Army did not launch an attack throughout the night, which is not in line with the norm.

Tengjing believed that the Eighth Route Army must be lurking there, waiting for an opportunity to attack. His ears almost stood up...

Tengjing suddenly felt a gust of wind coming from behind, and he reflexively prepared to fight back with the Nanbu pistol in his hand. Unfortunately, his reaction was a step too slow, and a huge hand grasped his big mouth.

The Adam's apple was crushed by the attacker's other hand, and Shi Shi's throat-locking fingers, which he had practiced in Wudang Mountain, ended Tengjing's life in just one stroke.

Before Tengjing was killed, the Japs at the end of the queue had long been dragged into the darkness...

The Tengjing detachment disappeared quietly as if swallowed by the night.

Two minutes later, the "Tengjing Detachment" set off again and continued their patrol.
Chapter completed!
