At this time, the dawn was quiet, and there was no sound at all. It was really too quiet, and it was too abnormal. The cooks who got up early were already preparing breakfast, and the baggage soldiers wearing only shirts were all sorting out the things they needed to take care of.
They just waited for breakfast before continuing the march. Hasegawa, who also got up early, stretched out comfortably and looked at the green jungle in the distance. He kept exercising his body. Getting up early to get in shape is a habit Hasegawa has developed over the years.
, even during wartime.
This time, Hasegawa was ordered to go north to encircle and suppress the Chinese army. Hasegawa was in charge of the logistics and supplies brigade. I don’t know what those guys from the Oshima Squadron who luckily escaped said. Specifically, the commander of the regiment would directly order the deployment of troops from the two brigades to go north to encircle and suppress them.
Hasegawa is just a logistics major. How to mobilize troops for combat is not something he can interfere with. Therefore, when Hasegawa received the order, he had already made up his mind to only manage the matters that belonged to him, and the rest was just a matter of his own responsibility.
When not seen.
One after another, the cooks knocked the rice spoons and pot lids in their hands, which was a signal that the meal could be served. The baggage soldiers carried their own lunch boxes and began to line up to wait for their meals. Although Hasegawa was a dignified major, he did not
Hasegawa, who was born as a farmer, knew what his shortcomings were like other officers had the habit of eating alone, so he would rather have three meals together with his troops than be alone with the two guys sent by the regiment commander.
Eating in the tent.
"Idiot" Kobayashi Shozo glanced sideways at Hasegawa, who was squatting with the baggage soldiers, and signaled his guards to carry his breakfast into the tent. Unlike Hasegawa, the young and energetic Kobayashi Shozo was a close confidant of the captain.
, it appears that the commander of the company specially sent the baggage team to supervise the transportation of supplies, but in fact it was to pave the way for Kobayashi Masami's promotion to the military rank in the future.
After breakfast, the baggage brigade camped in this open land is about to hit the road. According to the information given by Kawada brigade, they are still more than 40 miles away from the battlefield chosen by Kawada brigade. If it were not for the fact that they also helped Kawada brigade carry two
75 mountain artillery, perhaps according to Hasegawa's original march plan, they should have joined the Kawada Brigade last night. Tang Cheng and Dice were lying in the grass less than 500 meters away from the left wing of the Hasegawa Brigade. This Japanese troop
At first glance, it looks like a logistics and transportation unit. The two 75mm mountain guns in the camp are obviously the most worthy targets in the entire camp.
Tang Cheng originally wanted to continue to get closer to observe, but seeing that the opponent was about to leave, Tang Cheng finally decided to sneak attack here first, at least not to let this Japanese army transport troops leave the two 75mm mountain cannons intact.
Send them to bomb Mike and the others. Tangcheng decided to attack this Japanese army's supply force, but did not do it rashly. Their mission was not just to find a few targets and then sneak attack them, but to stay on the periphery of the camp at all times.
to harass the attacking Japanese troops, creating opportunities for Mike and others to annihilate the enemy.
To sneak attack the enemy without being entangled by the enemy, this requires certain long-range firepower. But when Tang Cheng and the others left the camp, they did not carry any long-range firepower at all. If the grenade on Tang Cheng's back could be considered a long-range
In terms of firepower, the dozen or so of them only have this one long-range weapon. What should they do? Looking at the Japanese troops in the telescope, they are already preparing to go on the road. Tang Cheng, who is lying in the grass, is unwilling but unable to do anything. He cannot let them go.
Several people carried rifles and went to fight the Japanese troops head-on.
"How many explosives and grenades do we still have?" Tang Cheng turned around and looked at Tan Fei. For the jade mine, they brought a lot of explosives and grenades with them when they left the camp. Tang Cheng remembered that when they blew up the hole to mine the jadeite rough,
Not much explosives were used. Tan Fei thought for a moment and gave an answer that satisfied Tangcheng. At least he could use these explosives and grenades to create a moderate chaos for the Japanese supply force.
"Let's go around in front of them and look for an opportunity to mess with them." Tangcheng, who already had a rough plan, strode out, and the others could only follow and leave quickly. Hasegawa's baggage
The troops moved quickly, and were ready to set off not long after breakfast. Hasegawa gave an order, and the assembled baggage brigade continued on the road. The direction they were heading was exactly the direction Kawada's brigade was heading north.
Although Hasegawa is the commander of this baggage brigade, he has always been sitting on the cart pulling the baggage. Kobayashi Shozo and his guards sent by the commander of the company are each riding a tall horse. Kobayashi Shozo is no more than
He was a captain, while Hasegawa was a major. This made Hasegawa's soldiers in the baggage corps very dissatisfied with Kobayashi Shozo and the two, believing that Kobayashi Shozo was disrespectful to his superiors and should be punished.
Hasegawa knew the dissatisfaction of his soldiers, so he just tried his best to dissuade them. The Chinese army began to counterattack northern Myanmar. Showing off their power on the battlefield will only lead to faster death. Veterans like Hasegawa know this all too well. In fact, Hasegawa has always been
Ignoring Masami Kobayashi had this intention in mind. If Masami Kobayashi died in the hands of the China Army, the commander of the regiment would not be able to complain against him. Hasegawa, who was sitting on the cart, glanced at Masami Kobayashi secretly and thought.
I think I'm about to die, let's see how beautiful you are.
Hasegawa, who was secretly feeling sorry for him, didn't know that he had also become Tang Cheng's target. He had the highest military rank in the entire supply unit, and the major rank mark on the military uniform had become an important basis for the dice to lock him. He left the camp last night.
, the route that the baggage troops marched was all open land. In such terrain, you can see far away at a glance, so Hasegawa did not send out scouts. Anyway, it was only more than 40 miles away from the Kawada Brigade.
.
There was a soft "pop" sound, and Hasegawa, who was sitting astride the cart, was about to pick up the telescope hanging on his chest and look forward, but his body seemed to have been hit hard, and he fell to his right side.
A second lieutenant who was walking beside the cart felt a warmth on his face. He stretched out his hand to wipe it, and his palm was full of blood red. He then raised his head to look at Hasegawa, who was leaning on the cart, and his commander's head.
It was already blood red.
There was another soft "poof" sound, and Kobayashi Shozo, who was still unaware of anything on the horse, was shot and fell off his horse. The second lieutenant immediately dodged behind the cart and shouted at the top of his voice, "Hide, hide quickly, the enemy
Attack, someone is attacking us." Two officers were shot and fell in succession, and the Japanese soldiers in the baggage brigade began to panic. But after everyone found cover and hid, the attackers disappeared completely as if they had never appeared.
movement.
The dice that fired two shots 500 meters away had already evacuated. The place where the shots were fired was too far away from the person who was shot, so that the Japanese soldiers could not hear the clear gunshots and could not rely on the gunshots.
direction to identify the location of the attacker. Dozens of brave Japanese soldiers were sent out by the officer who took over the command. The Japanese soldiers with rifles covered each other and carefully searched the direction where the attacker might be.
No shadow was found, not even a bullet casing.
There were no attackers, and there were no traces left by the attackers. The officer who took over Hasegawa's command of the baggage brigade was in tears. He could only move the bodies of Hasegawa and Kobayashi Shozo to the cart first, and then make a decision after reuniting with the Kawada brigade.
"Boom" "Boom" The baggage convoy, which had lost its commander, followed the original direction and walked less than 2 miles. The first two carts triggered the mines deployed by Tangcheng's leaders, and the violent explosion directly caused the collision.
Lei's two carts were shattered into pieces, and the sound of the explosion shocked the mules and horses on the remaining carts. Just as the baggage soldiers were unable to control the mules and horses, mules and horses began to rush across the road and lead the carts with them.
The car triggered a booby trap.
Thick smoke and fire blocked the sight of Tangcheng and the others, and also blocked the sight of the Japanese army. Dice took this opportunity to fire one after another. Relying on the ultra-long range of the sniper rifle, Dice used the sniper rifle in his hand to successfully shoot down a group of people who had escaped.
The more than a hundred Japanese soldiers who were robbed were tightly suppressed and did not dare to move. The mules and horses transporting the two 75-cm mountain guns were the first to escape, and they were also the unlucky ones who hit the mines in the second wave, along with several Japanese who wanted to forcibly control the mules and horses.
All the soldiers, including the soldiers, were bombarded into parts and fragments by booby traps made of a mixture of explosives and grenades. Tangcheng's goal of attacking this Japanese supply unit had been mostly achieved.
Tangcheng and the others pestered this group of Japanese troops like dog-skin plaster, and the 40-mile journey made the journey of this heavy supply brigade miserable. When they reunited with the reinforcements sent by the Kawada brigade, they originally left Ma
Of the more than 400 people and dozens of large and small trucks at Gaoshi, Tangcheng and the others had intercepted them, leaving less than 200 people and two lonely trucks. "Baga, Baga." took over the command of Hasegawa's baggage train.
The officer of the brigade was slapped several times. If the officer next to him hadn't tried his best to persuade him, he might have been shot on the spot by the furious Kawada Kazuo.
In order to intercept this group of Chinese troops who were said to be preparing to go south, the Kawada Battalion was transferred northward without carrying much ammunition. The Kawada Battalion had been waiting for the ammunition and mountain artillery carried by the baggage troops. Now it was better. Not only the ammunition but also the
Even the two mountain cannons were destroyed with just a few rifle bullets. Without the mountain cannons, the Kawada brigade did not know what to use to attack the enemy's positions.
Completely opposite to the Japanese army, Mike was so happy when he learned that Tangcheng and the others had destroyed two enemy mountain cannons and most of the baggage on the periphery. As long as the Japanese army that faced them did not have such big weapons as mountain cannons, Mike would not have to work very hard.
He was worried that the other side would break through his position, not to mention that he had just received a batch of airdropped supplies yesterday. Even if he stood still and spent time with the other side, the Japanese army on the opposite side might not be able to defeat him.
