The cunning Yoshida heard the gunshots coming from the south, especially when he heard the crooked machine gun firing away all the bullets. Yoshida knew in his mind that Doihara must have been beaten to a pulp, and he was an angry mad dog.
This is usually the reaction. However, Yoshida felt that it was exactly what he wanted. He sent Doihara to the south to attack, which played its due role and achieved the expected results.
Yoshida decisively commanded the troops to accelerate forward. It was time to break into the Chinese reconnaissance team's camp and destroy the lair in one fell swoop.
The leading sergeant turned around and saw the major raising his samurai sword, and he also accelerated his advance with a few soldiers around him.
After walking only more than thirty meters, the sergeant suddenly raised his fist. Several soldiers stopped at the same time, squatting down and guarding the surroundings with their rifles.
The sergeant sniffed a few times in succession. No, it smelled like new earth. It must be said that veterans are veterans. Not all commanders with high military ranks are experienced, but veterans can survive on the battlefield.
Experience and a little luck.
The sergeant tried his best to open his small mung bean eyes and carefully observed the ground nearby. There was no trace of digging anywhere, and no new soil was exposed on the surface. However, the smell of the new soil was still noticed by the attentive military officer.
Cao smelled it keenly, even though the forest was full of dead branches and leaves.
Yoshida saw the sergeant suddenly stop, squat down, and immediately asked the troops to stop, waiting for the sergeant's further reconnaissance.
Shihong on the big banyan tree is a little numb. Why does this Japanese veteran have a sharper nose than a dog? If you don't move forward, I will shoot you.
Shihong looked at Xizi on the tree opposite and asked if he wanted to shoot to tease the Japs. However, Xizi waved his hands decisively. Xizi's judgment was correct. At this position, Platoon Leader Sun and the others were still sixty meters away.
Duomi, Tiedan and the others were more than fifty meters away from here, so they fired rashly. Although the branches of the banyan tree were thick, there were not only these three Japs below, but also a group of Japs following them. In case of being surrounded, being condescending would have an advantage.
There is no way to retreat.
Yoshida picked up the telescope and looked at the position of the mortar. Three Japanese soldiers had already set up the mortar and were ready to fire at any time.
The sergeant looked back at the major, then made a roundabout gesture with one hand forward.
Yoshida saw this in his eyes and wondered in his mind, by taking a detour at this time, would it waste the best opportunity to attack that Doihara had gained recklessly? However, veterans have a very sensitive sense of danger, so to be on the safe side, it is better to make a detour.
, after Yoshida made up his mind, he responded with a detour gesture to the sergeant.
The sergeant saw the major's instructions and immediately stood up, preparing to take the soldiers around him to take a circuitous route to the left to avoid possible traps.
All this was seen by Hu Jun and Platoon Leader Sun.
"Platoon commander, the Japanese have taken a detour. How about I fire two bursts to seduce him?" Hu Jun asked.
"Oops." Platoon Leader Sun scratched his head and felt a little embarrassed, "Now we brothers are not fighting alone. According to Captain Luo's order, we have to wait until the Japanese enter a range of about 20 meters before suddenly opening fire. Captain Luo is counting on us.
How many Japs can be killed in one fell swoop? With just one shot, will the Japs rush forward, or will they detour further?"
"It's hard to say." Dong Yazi often hunted before joining the army. According to his experience, the prey must escape, but the devil is not a pig or a badger, it may be a mad dog.
"You can't shoot. It would be best if a shell falls behind the Japanese at this moment and knocks him from behind like a shepherd dog herding sheep." Demoman Wang Hongji is a man of heaven, Ji Yan.
As soon as he came out, he heard a "boom" explosion. It exploded right behind the Japanese.
"The sound of the fragmentation grenade? Who threw it?" Platoon Leader Sun asked.
"It should be a grenade. In the past few days, I have seen Tiedan often carrying a grenade on his back. I guessed that this silly black guy is a grenade expert." Wang Hong said with admiration.
"Hey, you can blast it right, Douzi." Sure enough, it was Tiedan who was chasing the sheep. According to the captain's order, Tiedan was originally going to wait until he heard the noise before getting up and looking for an opportunity to blow up the Japanese. Tiedan smiled and showed off to the soldier Douzi.
.
"Accurate, really accurate." Douzi gave Tiedan a thumbs up, "But Brother Tiedan, I guess, after the battle is over, the captain will kick your ass. I don't know if my guess is accurate, haha."
"Go, crow's mouth."
The sudden explosion behind him almost scared the courage of Yoshida Nokou.
Yoshida and the Japanese all lay down. When Yoshida found that there were no enemies around him, he felt a little embarrassed, so he boldly stood up, waved his samurai sword, and loudly ordered his soldiers: "Quack, Didi -"
