Such a weird scene made the Japanese captain feel a little nervous.
He picked up the telescope from time to time and looked at the position in front of him, thinking about whether to send a small team to test the situation inside.
At this time, a second lieutenant came up and whispered: "Your Excellency, Captain, the enemy has most likely escaped.
I just made a careful observation, and it seems that there are really no sentries or garrisons nearby. It's meal time now, and if the other side didn't notice us, they should have started cooking by now."
As soon as these words came out, the Japanese captain's eyes lit up, and he felt deeply that the second lieutenant's analysis in front of him was reasonable.
All circumstances indicate that there does not seem to be an enemy stationed in the base area in front of us, otherwise the enemy would have fought back long ago.
Having said that, the Japanese captain was also worried that someone was ambushing inside, so he ordered the grenadier to fire several rounds at places where people might be hiding.
When I saw those positions made of yellow soil collapsed, there was no counterattack inside.
The Japanese captain slowly got up from the ground and looked at the position in front of him with an evil look on his face.
At this time, he was very sure that there were no enemies inside.
Although the danger was gone, I came here for the 28th Regiment.
I led my troops to come here after all the hard work, but in the end they didn't encounter the 28th Regiment. Isn't this a failure in vain?
The Japanese captain looked at the empty base of the former 28th Regiment and was naturally unwilling to leave just like that.
Then he made a decision that he would regret for the rest of his life.
"Give me my order to go down and enter the 28th Regiment's base area." The Japanese captain snorted coldly, made an offensive gesture, and continued.
"I'd like to see what's so magical about it that it can withstand multiple attacks by the imperial army!"
At this time, he did not realize how stupid his order was.
Following the order from the Japanese army captain, hundreds of Japanese soldiers from the infantry brigade dispersed one after another, formed an encirclement around the city, and headed towards the headquarters of the 28th Regiment.
Soon, they entered this small village.
After entering the village, they discovered that everything here was different from what they imagined.
Although this place is quite small, it has all the essentials.
The buildings in the village were obviously fortified to defend against attacks from the air.
The trenches outside the village had been buried on the spot when Ding Wei and others left, so they did not see how Ding Wei dug the trenches.
When this group of Japanese soldiers entered the village, their lives had officially entered a countdown.
After entering the village, they dispersed.
Naturally, the starting points of booby traps are not simply placed on the gate, but are placed in various weird corners and some obvious locations.
For example, some earthen pots in the corner, or quilts on the windowsill, or even some corn hanging on the wall.
Given that the little devils are so mean and like to cause destruction, they will definitely take action.
Wouldn't this give the little devils an advantage? What Ding Wei wanted was for them to go deep alone, as deep as possible into the base area.
Only in this way can we cause maximum damage to the Japanese soldiers and kill them in one fell swoop.
And all this was not what Ding Wei had expected. After the little devil entered the village and made sure everything was safe, he immediately started to cause damage.
The sound of the village door being kicked in and the sound of broken pots were mixed together. After these Japanese soldiers entered the house, they began to carry out crazy acts of destruction.
Because they failed to successfully contain the 28th Regiment, they could only vent their emotions in this way.
"Your Excellency, captain, there is really no one inside." The Japanese second lieutenant came to the captain and said respectfully.
"Hey..." The Japanese captain was about to nod.
Suddenly, he heard deafening explosions coming from his ears.
"Nani?"
Hearing the explosion, the Japanese captain did not react for a moment and thought there was an enemy ambush in the village.
Just when he was about to order a counterattack, something that frightened him happened.
Continuous explosions sounded one after another, and it seemed that there were explosions in every corner. The whole village was filled with smoke and dust, and there were dazzling firelights everywhere.
The earth seemed to be shaking violently at the roar of the cannonballs.
Such a violent movement made the Japanese captain dumbfounded.
It's not that he has no experience on the front line, and he also has rich experience in mopping up, but he has never encountered such a big movement in any mopping up operation.
He could understand it being placed on the front line, but this was a sweep. If the enemy made such a big noise, could it be that they wanted to die with him?
But even so, where is the enemy?
Why can't I see the attacker even though I hear the explosion?
Hearing the explosion in their ears, even without his order, the Japanese soldiers everywhere were ready for battle, but they could not see where the enemy was.
The locations of the explosions are even more varied, some coming from the door, some coming from the underground, and some even coming from the wall.
Some Japanese soldiers who were clinging to the corner and searching for traces of the Eighth Route Army were knocked to the ground by an explosion in the wall.
This is not an earthen wall, it is just a mezzanine wall for cover. Naturally, there are booby traps inside.
There was basically no place to hide in the entire village, and there were rumbling explosions everywhere.
The Japanese brigade finally realized that they had fallen into the trap of the Eighth Route Army.
Tubal Road may have realized that someone was attacking their base area, but how did the Eighth Route Army learn about this news?
Xiong County!
Qian Bojun.
The Japanese captain thought subconsciously, because he could only think of this. No one except Qian Bojun knew their whereabouts.
If the Eighth Route Army had known their whereabouts early on, they would have fought the Eighth Route Army before they came in!
Qian Bojun's surrender was probably a conspiracy to paralyze the imperial army and lower its vigilance.
After thinking about this, the Japanese captain hurriedly shouted to the second lieutenant beside him: "Qian Bojun has a problem, please inform the commander immediately!"
The words just fell.
An explosion sounded right next to his ears.
The wall that the Japanese captain thought was safe collapsed suddenly, rubble flew everywhere, and he was also thrown away by the shock wave of the explosion.
Rubbles like rain kept falling down, completely covering the captain.
"Bagaya Road, how dare you play tricks on the imperial army."
The Japanese captain left his last words and died on the spot.
The rumbling explosions lasted for unknown lengths of time before they slowly stopped.
By this time, the base area had turned into ruins, with the ground collapsing downwards, and almost all the houses falling down, leaving no trace of their original appearance.
This infantry brigade was almost completely destroyed. Even the Japanese soldiers who did not die in the explosion were still trapped under the rubble.
At this time, the sound of ghosts crying and wolves howling echoed under the ruins.
They encountered a big explosion inexplicably, but they didn't even know what the enemy looked like, which instantly shattered the determination of this group of Japs to fight.
Now they just want to leave here quickly and stay away from this place that brings them fear, but all this is in vain.
It's easy to get in here, but if they want to get out, they can only think about it.
Because there are many houses here, most of the Japanese soldiers were buried under rubble after the explosion.
Even the Japanese soldiers who were lucky enough not to be buried by the explosion were all injured in the explosion.
Here, it is rare for you to see an intact Japanese soldier.
The Japanese soldiers who were lucky enough not to be killed supported each other and sat on the ruins, recovering their strength and thankful that they survived the disaster.
They stared stupidly at the ruins in front of them, as well as their companions who were trapped under the ruins and desperately trying to climb out. They did not recover for a long time.
Their heads were filled with questions. Until the explosion ended, they still didn't know what happened or who attacked them.
…
Xiong County.
Qian Bojun Camp.
"Team leader, I think the imperial army will be very satisfied with our performance this time." Zhang Fugui said with a smile on his face.
"This time we make way for the Imperial Army and let them attack the 28th Regiment. This can be regarded as assisting the Imperial Army in fighting. I don't know what reward the Imperial Army will give."
"Humph, a small 28-year-old regiment is nothing." Qian Bojun snorted coldly.
Giving way to the Japanese was a pledge made by Qian Bojun. From the moment he gave way, it meant that he had no choice but to serve the Japanese.
It was terrible to offend the Eighth Route Army, and it was equally terrible to offend Chu Yunfei.
But in Qian Bojun's opinion, if he offends the Eighth Route Army, he will be offended. They are also a weak army anyway. Shangfeng...
Well, it should be said that the former superior did not have much favorable impression of the Eighth Route Army. Maybe even if Shangfeng knew about this, he would secretly reward him.
But Chu Yunfei would not do that. He tolerated himself because it was hindered by his own strength, but once he knew that the first battalion surrendered to the Japanese, Chu Yunfei would definitely clean up the family.
"Members of the group, let me tell you, let's just..." Zhang Fugui made a gesture.
Needless to say, Qian Bojun understood what he meant, he wanted to attack Chu Yunfei.
"No!" Qian Bojun flatly refused, then shook his head and said: "Now is not the time, and it is not suitable for us to do this."
It would be best if Chu Yunfei died, but it must not pass through the hands of the First Battalion, otherwise it would be like poking a hornet's nest.
"Okay, what the leader said is right." Seeing that Qian Bojun didn't want to take action at the moment, Zhang Fugui immediately changed his mind and followed Qian Bojun's words.
Qian Bojun also knew that he was a typical loser.
If it weren't for the fact that they were from the same hometown and grew up wearing the same pants, Zhang Fugui would have been kicked out long ago.
Qian Bojun was too lazy to talk to Zhang Fugui.
He is not short-sighted like Zhang Fugui, but wants to look further and longer.
Otherwise, he would not have dared to make way for the Japanese and let them into their territory not long after surrendering.
Although the first battalion did not sell Chu Yunfei's face, several other battalions regarded Chu Yunfei as their life and were willing to sacrifice their lives for him.
To do this, you have to kill someone with a borrowed knife, either with the hands of the Japanese or the Eighth Route Army.
If I have to say it, the Eighth Route Army was actually better.
If the death of Chu Yunfei is suspected of the Eighth Route Army, the cooperation between the two parties will be shattered, and the Jinsui Army will definitely use its full strength to deal with the Eighth Route Army to relieve the pressure on the Imperial Army.
Such a plan kills two birds with one stone, and if the movement is carried out properly, a reward from the imperial army will be indispensable.
But how to implement it is a very serious question.
Qian Bojun fell into deep thought. The Eighth Route Army soldiers were not stupid, and Chu Yunfei was not an idiot either.
Once the mission fails, Chu Yunfei will be able to understand the matter if he thinks about it for a moment, and then the rebellion of the first battalion will be revealed to the world.
At that time, it will be like putting yourself on the stove to roast, which will completely destroy the fish and the net.
After thinking for a long time, Qian Bojun couldn't think of any useful moves, so he could only give up the idea temporarily and thought of the 28th Regiment instead.
Thinking of this, Qian Bojun secretly said it was a pity.
"It's a pity, what's a pity?" Zhang Fugui asked puzzledly.
"Of course it is a pity that Chu Yunfei did not die in the 28th Regiment!" Qian Bojun said harshly: "If the imperial army had arrived a few steps earlier, we could have used the imperial army's help to eliminate Chu Yunfei."
Zhang Fugui was thinking about where to go to make a fortune, but he didn't react for a moment.
"Idiot, if Chu Yunfei continues to stay in the 28th Regiment, no matter what mistakes occur, it will be the Eighth Route Army's responsibility!" Qian Bojun said in a deep voice.
"Even if he has just left the 28th Regiment, we can intercept and kill him on the way. As long as he dies, we will blame the Eighth Route Army!
Anyway, we are the Jinsui Army, do you think the commander will trust us or those tubal people?"
"You are right, Tuanzu, what should we do next?" Zhang Fugui said confused.
"I have long asked you to study more. What on earth were you doing when you were in the military academy?" Qian Bojun pointed at Zhang Fugui and couldn't help cursing.
Either you’re laughing, or you’re right, you’re right, what the hell can you say besides being right?”
Since there were no outsiders in the battalion, Qian Bojun didn't care about it and didn't give Zhang Fugui any face.
I really need to find time to educate my old friend, otherwise it will be difficult for him to achieve anything like this in the future.
"Hehe..." Zhang Fugui laughed twice and did not answer.
Seeing Zhang Fugui's desolate look, Qian Bojun didn't want to dwell on the matter anymore. He was thinking that the Japanese had finished their work and were on their way back.
Even if the 28th Regiment could fight, the regiment headquarters only had one battalion, and it was impossible to kill a Japanese brigade with just one battalion.
But things went far beyond Qian Bojun's expectation. The Japanese soldiers who ambush the 28th Regiment suffered heavy losses in this battle.
When Qian Bojun was thinking about how the imperial army would reward him, suddenly a soldier ran in in a hurry.
He looked at Qian Bojun, pointed one hand outside, and said in a trembling voice: "Team leader, it's not good, something happened!"
Seeing that the soldier's expression was wrong, Qian Bojun's heart suddenly thumped: "What's wrong? What happened?"
"There are only about ten Japanese soldiers passing by us, and they are all wounded!" the soldier reported urgently.
"They are angry now, saying that we framed them and made them fall into the enemy's trap..."
"What's going on? What did you say? Their attack failed?" Qian Bojun couldn't sit still.
If this mission fails, he will definitely not be able to escape the relationship.
The troops passed by him, and the marching route was kept strictly confidential. If something happened to him, the Japanese would inevitably cause trouble for him.
"It's broken, it's broken..." Qian Bojun said repeatedly.
"Tuanzu, what's wrong? Why is it broken?" Zhang Fugui asked hurriedly.
"You idiot, what on earth do you know!" Qian Bojun scolded Zhang Fugui severely.
