The 8th independent mixed brigade of the Japanese army was marching forward along the Shiji Highway in four columns. The person in charge of opening the road was the 4th Squadron of the 6th Infantry Brigade.
After all, this is enemy territory, and the Japanese army is still very careful.
The march of the 4th Squadron was very wide, and the vigilance of the soldiers was also very high. Search troops were also dispatched on both sides. At least two squads of Japanese troops were searching in the Baomi and sorghum fields far away from the road.
After advancing five hundred meters, the search team will fire a gun to indicate safety to the squadron headquarters.
Unless the terrain is particularly favorable, it is difficult to ambush.
For example, the terrain here is plain on both sides of the highway. Although there are dense green gauze tents where you can hide, as long as the Japanese army sends a search team to search deep into the green gauze tents, the ambush will basically have nothing to hide! Speaking of which, the terrain of Panchuanao is not suitable.
They planned an ambush, but at that time the Qiuye Brigade was eager to rush to the rescue of Qinghe County, so the Chi Family Army took advantage of the loophole.
…………
In the dense green gauze tent.
Lao et al slowly moved the muzzle of the gun and finally locked the target.
Through the four-fold telescope, you can clearly see that he is a Japanese captain. He is bow-legged, short and strong, and has the most typical Japanese mustache on his upper lip. This Japanese officer is obviously also a veteran. Don't look at his eyes.
Facing forward, but out of the corner of his eye, he kept paying attention to the green gauze tents on both sides of the road.
The old man estimated the Japanese Captain's walking speed, moved the muzzle of the gun slightly forward, and then pulled the trigger!
"Everyone!" The crisp sound of gunshots immediately shattered the silent wilderness. Several wild ducks were suddenly frightened and flew up from the dense corn field.
But it's a pity that the shot Lao waited for so confidently failed to hit!
Because at the moment when Lao et al pulled the trigger, the Japanese Captain had already seen a ray of coldness out of the corner of his eye. Immediately, driven by instinct, he suddenly stumbled forward, and the scorching bullet was almost close to the Japanese Captain.
The back of the Japanese captain passed by, leaving a scorch mark on the back of the Japanese captain's military uniform, but he was unscathed.
"Chinese!" The Japanese captain knelt down on one knee, suddenly drew his knife and shouted, "Get ready to fight!"
The entire Japanese squadron responded quickly. All machine guns and grenade launchers were quickly set up. The three infantry squadrons dispersed in a fighting formation. One squadron was on standby and the other squadron was on guard.
People rushed towards them from the direction where the gunshots came from, but the remaining team seemed to be heading forward aimlessly.
In the dense corn field, a disdainful sneer appeared on the corner of Lao Waiting's mouth.
The Japanese Japs are still doing the same thing. The remaining team seems to be aimless, but in fact they are going back from the front. If I hadn't had too many encounters with the Japs, I would probably have been bypassed by this Japs team.
If they were blocked, his entire platoon would have to be held accountable here.
The kid didn't shoot, and they still don't know the specific location of the gunshot.
However, the Japs search team on the right side of the road was approaching quickly. These dozen little Japs were very cunning. They all bent over and retracted their entire bodies into the green gauze tent that was as tall as one person. No matter how good their marksmanship was, they could only wait.
Neng Gan was anxious. Seeing that the opportunity for a sneak attack had been lost, Lao and others had no choice but to order a retreat.
This was a failed sneak attack, but it delayed the Japanese army for nearly half an hour.
As soon as Segawa Shiro's brigade headquarters left Nangong County, he found that the troops suddenly stopped.
Minetaro Yoshida frowned and was about to step out of the armored command vehicle to ask. A staff officer, Major, had already run forward. He immediately put his feet back and stood at attention and said: "General, Colonel, there is a small group of local armed forces in China trying to attack in front of you. They have been attacked."
The imperial army was driven away, and there were no casualties among the imperial army.”
"Yoshi." Yoshida Minetaro nodded, "order the troops to continue moving forward."
The Japanese troops who were waiting on the spot once again moved forward in a mighty manner, but less than five miles away, gunshots were heard again from the front, and this time the gunshots were quite fierce, and the troops stopped again.
Soon, another major staff officer came to report that the front was attacked by Chinese armed forces again, and two soldiers were killed.
"Bagagaru." Yoshida Minetaro was furious when he heard this.
However, Segawa Shiro waved his hand and said lightly: "From Nangong County to Qinghe County, there is open plain terrain along the way, which is difficult to ambush, so we don't need to pay attention to the Chinese people's harassment at all. We ordered to leave a few small teams to deal with them.
The large troops must speed up their march and must arrive outside Qinghe County before dark!"
"Hai." The major staff officer lowered his head suddenly and immediately sent the order.
…………
In the green gauze tent.
Seeing that the Japanese army left behind a small number of troops and continued to search and advance, but the large troops accelerated their march and rushed forward in a mighty manner, Lao Wait couldn't help but sigh, and said somewhat helplessly: "Well, there is nothing to do without us now.
Let’s see if Tang Dashan’s mine array can cause some trouble for the little devil.”
…………
On the road.
Captain Kitajima Takenori walked quickly while constantly scanning the green gauze tents on both sides of the road with the corner of his eye. As an imperial veteran who has experienced many battles, Kitajima Takenori knows that there will always be dangers in the enemy's territory.
He will not slack off the enemy. A moment ago, his caution saved his life again!
Although I haven't met him face to face, he is definitely an excellent sniper.
Judging from Takenori Kitajima's walking margin, to his quick movement after shooting, the Chinese snipers hiding in the green gauze tent showed sufficiently high tactical literacy.
Kitajima Takenori was lucky enough to escape this disaster.
Suddenly, the search team at the front suddenly stopped.
"Baga!" Kitajima Takenori was furious. He immediately stepped forward with a knife and cursed, "Who stopped you?"
Second Lieutenant Kojima ran to Captain Beidao, suddenly put his feet back and stood at attention and said: "Sir, there is a suspicious object ahead."
Takenori Kitajima looked in the direction of Lieutenant Kojima's finger, and suddenly saw a wooden board standing alone in the middle of the road. The situation was indeed very suspicious.
"Is there a mine formation here?"
Takenori Kitajima's heart froze, and he suddenly turned back to the translator Zhang Wentian and said, "Zhang Sang, go up and take a look."
Translator Zhang Wentian's expression suddenly changed. He almost knelt down and kowtowed to Captain Bei Dao, pleading: "Taijun, can someone else go?"
"Baga." Takenori Kitajima threatened with a knife, "If you don't go, you will die!"
The translator Zhang Wentian had no choice but to walk towards the wooden board one step at a time. Fortunately, until Zhang Wentian stood in front of the wooden board, he was unscathed. Captain Beidao and Second Lieutenant Xiaodao then led a few Japanese soldiers.
Dare to step forward, Kitajima Takenori found that there were words on the wooden board, and immediately asked Zhang Wentian: "Zhang Sang, what is written on it?"
"Baga, you must tell the truth." Lieutenant Kojima said angrily, "Otherwise, you will die."
"Hai, hai." The translator Zhang Wentian nodded repeatedly, gritted his teeth, and said in Japanese tremblingly, "It says that Tang Dashan had a clever plan, and the little Japanese was buried here."
"Baga Yalu." Lieutenant Kojima became furious and kicked the wooden board with his foot.
"Kojima-kun, no!" Takenori Kitajima's expression suddenly changed when he saw this, and it was already too late to stop him.
Second Lieutenant Kojima kicked the board hard, and the entire board fell down immediately. The next moment, a huge cloud of smoke and dust suddenly rose up from under Lieutenant Kojima's feet, and then there was a loud bang, and the person closest to the board fell.
Takenori Kitajima, Second Lieutenant Kojima and translator Zhang Wentian were thrown into the air by the waves.
While in the air, Takenori Kitajima and Second Lieutenant Kojima disintegrated.
However, the body of the translator Zhang Wentian was intact and appeared to be unscathed. However, his face was purple and there were more than a dozen fine black spots on the bridge of his nose. The Japanese veteran who rushed forward only took one look and walked away.
, although there were no injuries on the translator's body, his internal organs were completely broken and he was already dead.
…………
Eight hundred meters away, inside the green gauze tent.
Tang Dashan put down the telescope, waved Bo Da's iron fist viciously, and cursed: "I'll blow you up to death, you're a bitch, I'll blow you up to death, you're a traitor, and I'll make you a traitor!"
Zhao Tiechui said with great admiration: "Yingzuo, you are so awesome!"
Wang Erxi also said with admiration on his face: "Yingzuo, how did you know that kid can kick a wooden board?"
"Isn't that simple?" Tang Dashan said, "I am the reincarnation of Zhuge Liang, so I can figure it out."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Tiechui suddenly shouted: "Look at the camp, the little devil has sent engineers to clear mines."
When Tang Dashan heard the sound, he turned around and saw two Japanese engineers already carrying minesweepers and clearing mines.
"Let them sweep." Tang Dashan said with a cruel smile, "Let them sweep enough. The fun is yet to come, hehe."
The two Japanese engineers spent half an hour and carefully searched 400 meters forward, but still found nothing.
At this time, a Japanese lieutenant came up on a tall horse. Without any explanation, he slapped the two Japanese lieutenants who came forward twice, and then personally led the Japanese squadron to move forward. As a result, they walked less than a hundred meters.
The Japanese Major's mount also stepped on a mine. The Japanese Major was fine, but his mount was destroyed.
The forward squadron stopped again, and the Japanese engineers once again stepped forward to clear mines.
This time, the two Japanese engineers finally made a harvest, and the harvest was quite fruitful. It took two full hours, and the two Japanese engineers marked nearly a hundred suspicious explosion points on the nearly 200-meter-long road. Then the Japanese Major
With an order, a dozen engineers came forward at the same time and began to dig carefully with both hands.
Soon, a Japanese engineer roared angrily: "Baga Yalu is just a piece of shit..."
In the green gauze tent eight hundred meters away, Wang Erxi quickly covered his mouth with his hand, trembling all over.
