Aoki led the team into the mountain and quickly arrived at the place where they were attacked last time. This time he was much more cautious and scouted the surrounding area, but found nothing unusual, even in front of him there was no movement.
He ordered the machine gunners in front to set up machine gun cover, and sent a few advanced soldiers to search and advance. Under the leadership of the bandits who had been captured and surrendered to the enemy, they quickly arrived at the foot of Black Tiger Mountain, but there was still no movement on the mountain.
The Japanese quickly broke into the stronghold. The entire stronghold was empty. It seemed that the people here had escaped. Aoki couldn't help but feel proud. He immediately ordered his men to step up the search around them.
Soon, his subordinates came to report and found signs of retreat into the mountains. "Pursue quickly." Aoki wanted to avenge his shame, so he immediately gathered his troops and chased after them.
Finally, many swaying figures appeared in front of them. Just as the Japs quickened their pace, a row of bullets suddenly fired from behind the retreating people. The first few Japs and the leading bandits were killed.
Just when Aoki caught up and ordered to start shooting, there was no one in front of them. They followed the footprints on the road and discarded things and continued to pursue, but not far away, another cold shot came.
Aoki was a little frustrated. He didn't even see a single person. He had lost seven or eight of his men. This was not going to work. He ordered his troops to move forward faster and launch an attack quickly if they encountered resistance.
Su Yuan led Li Zhuang and Xiao Wu to retreat with some people on the mountain led by Chen Xing. When he saw the Japanese following them, he ordered Chen Xing to lead the team away immediately, and he and Li Zhuang and Xiao Wu launched a blocking attack.
But they immediately retreated after only a few shots, and retreated in the other direction, quickly attracting the Japanese. They walked towards the more rugged mountains with almost no roads. The enraged Japanese followed closely behind.
The road was becoming more and more difficult to navigate. In order to catch up quickly, Aoki ordered the soldiers to put down their backpacks and ammunition boxes, leaving some people to guard them, and then led his men to speed up and come over.
But they couldn't catch up with the people in front of them. At first, Aoki thought that the people in front of them had withdrawn with a lot of things, and he would definitely catch up. They seemed to be close a few times, but the people in front of them quickly got rid of them. He thought he was moving forward lightly.
He will surely catch up, but just like before, the other party still calmly keeps his distance.
Aoki's heart tightened. Could it be that the other party was deliberately attracting him? But at this moment, a burst of fierce gunshots suddenly came from behind.
"I've been fooled!" Aoki suddenly realized that the people he left behind were attacked.
"Retreat." Aoki immediately ordered the troops to withdraw for rescue, but the shooting in front suddenly became violent, which further increased Aoki's judgment.
In desperation, he had no choice but to order some people to stay and set up blocking positions on the spot to cover their retreat for rescue. It seemed that the opponent had no attack capability, so those behind must be their main force.
By the time Aoki led the team out of breath and rushed back to the place where they were staying, the battle here had ended. The guerrillas had left him nothing but a few corpses, and the ammunition and tents and backpacks were gone.
"Baga." Aoki became angry. The opponent was by no means an ordinary local armed force. They already had considerable command and attack capabilities, and their tactics were extremely appropriate.
What the other party would do next, Aoki thought worriedly, the gunfire from behind told him, and the sporadic gunfire just now suddenly became violent.
Aoki was a little worried. It was clear that the guerrillas attacked his back again. When Aoki came back again, the battle here was also over.
Aoki felt that he was really incapable of destroying this force that had caused him repeated defeats and disappeared. He thought of retreating, but at this time the sun was setting in the west, it was getting dark early in the mountains, and the surroundings soon became dark.
Aoki had no choice but to order the troops to camp on the spot and put out a warning. At this time, it was still a bit cold in the mountains, and all their tents had been taken away. The soldiers had no choice but to light a fire and sit around. The night was getting deeper and deeper, and the tired Japanese soldiers
They gradually fell asleep, but the nightmare in their sleep continued after they were awakened.
