Chapter 460 Head-to-head confrontation
Even if the Japanese commander is not arrogant, with the current superior strength of the Japanese army, normal people would think that after Zhao Zhiguo succeeds, he will definitely avoid the main force of the Japanese army as soon as possible to preserve his strength.
However, this time Zhao Zhiguo did the opposite and just waited here for the little devil.
"Captain, I understand!" Gao Cang said excitedly.
"Pull out our own grenades and lay booby traps on the fuel tanks of the Japs' trucks. When the Japs come, we'll give the Japanese a big explosion."
As Zhao Zhiguo's order was issued, the soldiers began to arrange themselves on the surrounding hillsides because they knew the real opponent was coming.
After the Japanese army left the cave, Ning Wenbin, covered in camouflage made of withered grass, began to crawl toward the cave.
In fact, they had been watching the little devil nearby during the day, and they were not far from the little devil.
When he saw the little devils lighting up the torches and gathering, Ning Wenbin had already guessed that Zhao Zhiguo and the others must have succeeded, otherwise the little devils would not have gathered in such a hurry.
"Company Commander, it's too dark, you can't even see how many little Japs there are!"
When they got close to the cave, because it was too dark, they only saw black shadows shaking, but they couldn't see how many enemies there were at all.
"We can't get any closer. If we get any closer, I'm afraid we ourselves will be exposed. Everyone needs to stay put and wait until daybreak before taking action."
Although it was already late at night, Captain Qi couldn't sleep at all in the cave. In addition to being too hungry to sleep, he also faced a difficult choice.
He had been thinking about the suggestion Niu Feiyuan made to him. Ever since the idea was born, Captain Qi seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw.
"Surrendering might actually help you survive."
This sentence is like a mosquito in summer, it keeps buzzing in my ears and I can't get rid of it.
Until midnight, Captain Qi seemed to have made up his mind and woke up Niu Feiyuan who was in a daze, and then pulled him deeper into the cave.
"Shall I go talk?"
To surrender to the Japs, someone naturally needs to negotiate terms, at least to ensure their safety. Since the conditions are being negotiated, someone naturally needs to leave the cave to negotiate.
As the highest commander in the cave, Commander Qi definitely couldn't go out to negotiate in person. If the Japanese army didn't want to negotiate and just shot and killed him, it would be a joke.
But when Niu Feiyuan heard that Commander Qi asked him to negotiate with the Japanese army, Niu Feiyuan was frightened and woke up.
Of course Niu Feiyuan also knew that negotiating with the Japs would mean a narrow escape. Captain Qi was afraid of death. He was more afraid of death than Captain Qi.
"You must be the one to negotiate, because besides me, you have the highest rank here." Captain Qi said.
"Captain Qi, I have never dealt with little devils."
Niu Feiyuan didn't know whether the Japs had the habit of not killing the envoys when two sides were fighting.
"Do you think I have dealt with little Japs? Do you want to live and get out of here alive?" Captain Qi asked the key question.
No one wants to die in this damn cave, not Commander Qi, and even less so Niu Feiyuan.
Niu Feiyuan shook his head vigorously.
"If you send a soldier there, the Japanese army will definitely not see their sincerity. You have to go. And compared to starving to death, being shot is a relief."
Niu Feiyuan cursed Commander Qi in his heart, since it is relief, you will not be afraid of death and let me go.
Although Niu Feiyuan was very unhappy, he also knew that this was the only way to survive.
Captain Qi and Niu Feiyuan discussed the details of tomorrow's surrender in the cave for more than an hour. As long as the little Japs promised to keep them alive and give them food, they would surrender.
Of course, Captain Qi and Niu Feiyuan did not know that the Japanese army had already left. At this time, the Japanese troops remaining outside the cave were less than a full squad.
If he knew that Captain Qi and Niu Feiyuan had this idea, Ning Wenbin would never lend a helping hand to them.
At the ambush site, the soldiers made all preparations for battle. Yao Pengju also promptly sent back the news that they had detected that there was fire in the distance and was moving in their direction.
"It seems that the Japanese army is moving very fast!"
In fact, the cave was not far from here in the first place, but Zhao Zhiguo and the others did not know where the Japanese army's logistics troops were at the beginning, so they searched a large circle in the mountains and wasted a lot of time.
There is no need for the little devils. They are heading straight for the target, and they are illuminated by firelight. They are marching very fast, as if they are afraid that if they are slow, Zhao Zhiguo and the others will run away.
"This group of Japanese troops are coming for us. There are still three hours until dawn. It is estimated that the battle will be over before dawn." Yao Pengju said, "Commander, what is the mission of our special team?"
"Can you pretend to be a corpse?" Zhao Zhiguo asked.
"What's wrong with this? It definitely looks more like a corpse than a dead corpse!"
"Do you think it would be better if some of our soldiers were mixed with the Japanese corpses down there?" Zhao Zhiguo said.
"This task has been handed over to us. I promise to let the Japs fight with their own people." Yao Pengju excitedly gave the order.
"Wait! Try to stay on the edge and don't get close to the truck." Zhao Zhiguo reminded Yao Pengju.
Once a truck explodes, people who get too close will inevitably suffer.
"Captain, don't worry, I understand everything!"
Everything is ready, just waiting for the army of little devils to take the bait.
During the march, the Japanese commander was not alert at all, and he did not arrange the vanguard.
The Japanese joint captain believed that since the Chinese army had been divided into two, the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army must have declined.
The Little Devils still have more than 2,000 troops. Even if they encounter an ambush, with the bravery of their imperial warriors, they can still fight back with all their strength and directly turn the ambush into an attack. They can defeat the ambush with a single charge.
They came all the way without encountering an ambush, and the Japanese commander was still a little disappointed.
"Your Excellency, Wing Commander, our logistics force has been completely wiped out, and the food on the truck is gone!"
A Japanese soldier reported their losses to the Japanese commander.
At this time, Japanese soldiers had already begun to collect the bodies of their fallen soldiers.
"boom"
There was an explosion, and while carrying the corpses, the Japs soldiers triggered the booby traps arranged by Zhao Zhiguo and the others. Two Japs were killed on the spot, and the surrounding Japs were also affected and seriously injured.
"Da da da"
The explosion was a signal. They had just captured the Japanese ammunition. At this time, Zhao Zhiguo's machine guns fired at the Japanese from all directions.
Hearing the gunshots, the Japanese troops took cover one after another, and the truck naturally became the best bunker.
