In order to attract the old fox Fujino, Su Yuan made full preparations and sent out all the troops. Except for the troops defending Sujia Village and its surroundings, the others initially attacked the weakly defended Japanese and puppet strongholds. The mountains were empty.
Get up. Of course, Su Yuan knew that this was Fujino deliberately attracting them, and he took advantage of it. Although the enemy retreated quickly and there were only puppet troops in the stronghold, and the results were not great, they took the opportunity to take down many strongholds.
It also happened to expand the guerrilla zone.
Regarding Su Yuan's decision, the commanders of the independent battalion and the guerrillas said it was too risky. Of course, the troops were not in danger, but how could they eliminate the Japanese who entered the mountains?
Su Yuan said: "When the Japs enter the deep mountains and dense forests, their superior weapons will not be able to exert their power. I am confident that the women's guerrillas and the soldiers from Taoyuan Village will be able to deal with the coming Japs."
"It's better to leave a force to cooperate?" everyone advised.
"Fujino, this old fox, is very cunning. He will only take the bait if he sees that we have no troops in the mountains." Su Yuan said, "You can fight without worry outside."
Sure enough, Fujino found out that the troops in the mountains had launched an attack on the weak area he deliberately exposed. There were not many troops left in the mountains, so he rushed in with confidence.
But seeing the dense forest around him, Fujino hesitated again. He was startled by the screams of sharp soldiers not far away, but he quickly breathed a sigh of relief. There was no gunfire, and the injured were all shot by primitive weapons.
In the center were some bows, arrows and traps. The most powerful one was a wooden raft filled with sharp wooden thorns. One of his men was stabbed all over and died.
This made Fujino even more reassured. It was not far from Taoyuan Village, and the resistance here was all primitive weapons. As long as you were careful, you could break through. Just when he was about to order the hounds to explore the way and continue moving forward, Gu Feihu ran away.
come over.
"Commander Fujino, we have been fooled." Gu Feihu said in a panic.
"What do you mean?" Fujino asked strangely.
"The boss named Sun is Su Yuan!" Gu Feihu said.
Fujino couldn't help being surprised, but then said: "I got the news that his troops have been sent out. Even if it is a trap, he can't do anything to us."
"But this guy is full of tricks, so we'd better be careful." Gu Feihu said: "And since he did it deliberately, the Taoyuan Village may not be real."
"No, this village does exist." Fujino said: "I checked the history and found that there was indeed a relocated village in the Ming Dynasty, and what Yuan Yongfu said is not false."
"But how are we going to find it?" Gu Feihu said.
"Try to capture the ambusher," Fujino said, unwilling to give up.
Fujino began to send several small teams to search around more cautiously, but soon, news of casualties continued to come. According to the report, the hunting device installed here was extremely concealed, and the ground was full of dead branches and leaves, making it difficult to find.
Although we saw the attackers with bows and arrows, these people moved extremely quickly in the forest, and this was a virgin forest. Trees could block people from more than ten meters away, and there were no roads to pursue them.
The Japanese marched lightly into the mountains and did not bring heavy weapons. Even if they brought them, they would not be used here. Even the weapons in the hands of soldiers could not exert their power. The grenades could not be thrown ten meters before they were blocked by dense trees and injured.
It's still me who's in charge, and there's no need for a rifle. There are too many trees here.
Fujino gradually realized that something was wrong. He had clearly fallen into a dangerous trap. No matter how much he wanted to save face, he had to save his life first. When Fujino saw that the small unit he had sent out came back with heavy casualties, he immediately decided to retreat.
But they had gone deep into the primitive jungle, and now it was difficult to tell the direction. The compass didn't work in this dense forest. Fortunately, Fujino was prepared. He had ordered people to mark the way, and there were also two hounds.
The small harassing troops were unable to stop their nearly 200-strong force from returning.
But Fujino was soon confused. Almost all the trees not far back had the same mark. When Fujino pinned all his hopes on the two hounds, a violent explosion destroyed his hopes.
The two dogs walking in front and the Japanese who were holding them were blown up into the sky. This was the first time the attackers used a modern weapon, a trip mine.
The explosion finally made Fujino understand that he had fallen into a trap, and even the way back was blocked. Su Yuan wanted to surround him and wait for the large troops to come back. He had to find a way out as soon as possible.
Fujino ordered the signal corps to telegraph his troops to attack and contain the guerrillas. At the same time, he ordered Gu Feihu to find a way out of the primitive jungle. Fujino was familiar with tactics such as mountain warfare and attacking cities, but this was his first time in this jungle.
I have never seen a virgin forest, let alone fought here.
Although Gu Feihu knew some ways to identify directions, such as looking at the direction of dense tree crowns, moss marks on tree trunks and even annual rings, all of these were ineffective in the jungle. The trees were too dense, and everything he saw was
Almost the same.
Seeing the desperate Gu Feihu, Fujino began to panic. He began to lose his temper. He had never been so panicked. In order to cover up his panic, he looked at the watch on his wrist and shouted to Gu Feihu.
: "I gave you an hour, but I can't think of a way. I'm dead."
Gu Feihu felt nervous, and he couldn't help cursing: "Damn Fujino!" But at this time he also had to run for his life, so he began to think about a way, and when he saw Fujino constantly looking at his watch, his heart moved and he immediately asked
:"what time is it now?"
"Four o'clock in the afternoon, you still have forty minutes." Fujino replied.
"Give me your watch." Gu Feihu said immediately.
"What?" Fujino asked strangely.
"Su Yuan once said how to use a watch to measure the direction." Gu Feihu said immediately.
"He told you?" Fujino asked strangely.
"He said it when he gave my daughter a watch, saying that getting lost in the mountains is a way to determine the direction. I happened to be listening for a few words." Gu Feihu explained.
Although he felt strange, Fujino still took off his watch and handed it to Gu Feihu. Gu Feihu fiddled with the watch, constantly turning the direction to test.
He didn't listen carefully at that time, and he didn't have a watch, but later his daughter said that it could be done, but Gu Feihu couldn't remember what it was like.
"The sun is due south at twelve o'clock, and it is also due south at twelve o'clock. Why does this guy say that twelve o'clock is north." Gu Feihu muttered.
"If you turn in one direction, you'll be facing the north at twelve o'clock." Fujino shouted at the side.
"Yes." Gu Feihu complied, and he immediately said: "At six o'clock, face the sun. This guy seems to have said to cut it in half. That's right. It's four o'clock now, and half it means two o'clock." Gu Feihu said.
The tiger faces the sun at two points, but it is obviously wrong. The left side of the sun is definitely not north at this time.
"Liar." Gu Feihu cursed in disappointment.
"No, it should be half at sixteen." Fujino on the side realized it while thinking. He grabbed the watch and pointed it at eight o'clock to the setting sun, "Yes, twelve o'clock is indeed north."
Other directions were randomly determined. Fujino determined the direction of Anjo and immediately ordered the troops to retreat. Although there were many traps and mines set up in front, Fujino, who was eager to escape, ordered Gu Feihu to send his men to explore the way ahead. Gu Feihu's men
They were hit by arrows or bombed on the road, but the Japanese finally followed them out of the virgin forest.
