This time, Xiongcun restrained his arrogance and calmly studied tactics with Kira and Wama.
After laughing at each other, Kira and Kazuma also suppressed their laughter and discussed the Dragon Boat Festival combat strategy with Yucun.
The three of them almost simultaneously thought that Dragon Boat Festival had deceived them. At first, they all thought they were sure to win, but in the blink of an eye, the fruits of their victory turned into a bottomless abyss.
Xiongcun said angrily: "Baga, that Duanwu is a complete liar. He doesn't dare to confront us head-on, but he sets traps for us everywhere. He is simply too abominable."
Ji Liang said: "It is indeed too abominable, but this time, we can find his lair, so even if he wants to deceive us again, it will be difficult. Our current total strength can reach more than 600 people, although it is not a
We have a full brigade, but the opponent only has more than 300 people, and our strength is twice theirs."
At this time, Wamo interjected: "But we lack heavy weapons, is this really possible? Mr. Xiongcun just said that the terrain of Erlang Mountain is dangerous and full of sentries, and the fortress is also very strong."
Xiongcun nodded and said: "Indeed, that mountain stronghold is very strong. But my scouts discovered that if we walked through the forest instead of the mountain path, we could completely avoid the sentries on the outside. And we would never be discovered by the other party."
After Xiongcun said this, he nodded with certainty, but in fact, his scouts discovered that the chariots taken away by the enemy were placed at the main entrance of the village. If they attack head-on, unless the enemy does not know how to use their chariots,
, otherwise they will all become living targets of the chariot.
So Xiongcun did the next best thing and told Kira and Kazuma that it would be easier to walk through the woods, and then quietly sneaked into the stronghold, regained his chariot, and caught the enemy by surprise.
Of course, this is what Xiongcun thinks in his heart. On the surface, he says that this is a surprise attack plan. With the training results of our Imperial Japanese Army, there is no problem at all in passing through this forest. Or our enemy is still sleeping, so
We took off the head easily.
Kira and Hemo thought about it and felt that it made sense. What's more, they could investigate again when they arrived at Erlang Mountain.
So a group of more than 650 Japanese soldiers followed the mountain road and quietly approached Erlang Mountain.
It was getting brighter, and after a day and night of fierce fighting, it was already past five o'clock in the morning on December 9 when the Japanese arrived near Erlang Mountain.
It was foggy in the mountains at this time, and the visibility was even worse than at night.
Fortunately, the Japanese scouts marked the place last night, otherwise we would have got lost near Erlang Mountain.
And this is also the reason why Erlang Mountain is occupied by Mazhen Mountain all year round. Because the terrain here is not only dangerous, the mountains are undulating, but also thick fog often appears, making it difficult to discern the direction.
Kira, Kazuma, and Omura stopped to watch. With the help of telescopes, they could only vaguely see the shadow of the cottage.
They couldn't see the chariots in the village, and Xiongcun was a little thankful for this. Because as long as they reached from the flank and took back the chariots, the enemy would become a turtle in the jar.
Last night, the Japanese scouts took a detour to the back mountain and found that there were cliffs there. In other words, the enemy had no retreat. It was just that they did not have time to investigate the woods on the flanks.
But Xiongcun thought, what danger could there be in a mere forest? The biggest problem would be that there were a few bandits' hidden sentries. All they had to do was send elite troops to go there and kill the hidden sentries.
But this time, Xiongcun didn't dare to make any claims, because he had few troops and suffered a lot of elite losses, so he told Kira and Kazuma: "We need to select an elite team to enter the woods and find the hidden sentries they may have set up to kill them."
, but my reconnaissance team has basically been killed, do you have any good candidates?"
Kira and Kazuma looked at each other, they were even a little uncomfortable with this kind of Xiongcun.
How arrogant was Xiongcun when he came? But what about now? Although he is not the same as the third grandson, his tone of voice is like talking to his senior.
Therefore, Kira and Kazuma stopped holding on, and mobilized elites from their own troops. There were two teams with a total of thirty people. They took advantage of the fog to enter the jungle to search. Once they found the bandit's hidden sentry, they immediately cleared it. They had to take advantage of the fog.
While the fog has not dissipated, rush into the stronghold and catch the enemy by surprise.
The two teams of Japanese soldiers were well-trained and slowly advanced forward thirty meters apart.
Their speed is slow, but every step they take is very vigorous.
This is the experience accumulated over many years of combat, and ordinary recruits will never be able to do this.
However, not long after they entered the forest, the Jaap who was walking in front suddenly stepped on the air and his whole body fell from the ground.
"ah,......"
The trapped Japanese soldier was about to scream, but he held back his professional training and fell directly.
The other Japs quickly stopped and lay down at the fallen position to check on their fallen comrades.
Only then did they discover that it was a hunter's trap. In addition to being two meters in diameter, the pit was at least three and a half meters high from the inside to the outside, and it was covered with sharpened bamboo.
But their colleagues have been transformed into hedgehogs by bamboos and are still struggling painfully. Fortunately, this cave is underground, otherwise such a cry will definitely attract the attention of enemy sentries.
But little did they know that there were no sentries in this place, only traps.
This ancient autumn, compared to Zhuge, took a goose feather fan and dug many traps near the village, specifically to deal with those who stole the camp.
But the little devil just arrived at the door by himself, and fell directly into the pit and died.
When the other Japs saw that their colleagues in the pit could not be saved, one of them found a football-sized stone somewhere and threw it down, hitting the head of the Japs who was still screaming with a whoosh.
The Japs finally stopped screaming, and the rest of the people bowed their heads in silence, and then continued to act.
At the same time, another team of Japanese soldiers was still groping forward.
The terrain of Erlang Mountain is very complex, with high mountains and dense forests, and especially the main peak is very steep.
Only the first mountain stronghold is relatively flat, and going up to the second and third strongholds is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
At this time, Duanwu, Ma Zhenshan and others were sleeping soundly in Sanzhai.
Mainly because I was too tired last night and drank a lot of wine, so I fell asleep even during the Dragon Boat Festival.
Duanwu was leaning on two chairs, and sitting next to him, with his head resting on Duanwu's shoulders, was Ma Zhongyan.
Last night, Duanwu had been comforting Ma Zhongyan. After drinking a few glasses of wine, this seemingly strong woman could no longer hold back her tears.
The tears were like beads on a string and she couldn't stop them. How could she not be sad when her father was gone.
Duanwu had no choice but to comfort the girl, but he didn't want the two of them to fall asleep like this!...
