Chapter 731: Opportunity?

Dozens of people, led by the knife, carried these supplies for three or four miles, only to clear a dense bush and find a cave, according to the knife, this was a tiger cave before, but the tiger was hunted by him, and he also tracked the tiger all the way to find here.

Although everyone had already seen the skill of the knife, it was still amazing to hear that he was chasing a tiger in the jungle alone.

The cave is not big, but it is bottomless and winding, and the team members are not interested in checking how deep it is, so they put down their supplies and leave. No one wanted to stay in this jungle for a minute longer, and at this moment they were already at home.

Of course, the necessary precautions still need to be taken, and the team members almost restored the entrance to the cave as it was, even the grass that had fallen down was lifted up, and the knife did not know where to find some dry branches and scattered them around the hole, saying that these branches could prevent animals with a keen sense of smell from noticing that someone was here.

When dealing with the Japanese squadron pursuing the independent regiment, Xiaodao saw with his own eyes that the Japanese army had brought search dogs, so he took it upon himself to arrange this protection to deal with the search dogs that the Japanese might bring.

The little guy not only has a skill, but also has a lively brain, but also has a careful heart, which makes Su Canwen very happy to pick up a treasure, picked up the dead branch that the knife had just dropped from the ground, broke it and put it under his nose and sniffed, and immediately frowned, although the branches have dried up, but there is still an indescribable smell, very unpleasant, ask the knife what kind of plant this is, the knife can't say why, only know that he was attacked by wolves once, and inadvertently hid in a bush, and the wolves walked past him, He kept sniffing with his nose and didn't find him, and then he cut down all the bushes in the vicinity and repeatedly experimented on the hounds to find them.

Su Canwen suddenly became interested, and urgently asked the knife, if you fold this shrub with you a little bit on your body, you can be invisible under the nose of the enemy's search dog?

For this, the knife said that he hadn't tried it, but in theory it should work.

Su Canwen immediately ordered the knife to find some more such shrubs, the effect of using fresh and dead branches is so good, the smell of freshness is stronger, and the effect must be better.

The knife and the two team members quickly brought back some bush branches, and each of them inserted two on their bodies, I don't know if it was useful, but it didn't hurt anyway.

The team soon began to set off, the direction was still south, Su Canwen still wanted to pass over the river beach, after all, he didn't see the enemy's pursuers now, even if there were, the defense line of dozens of miles would not believe that the Japanese army could hold it, and they would always be allowed to catch a gap and pass through.

The Flying Brigade of the 40th Group Army and the Flying Tigers wreaked havoc for an hour before they flapped their wings and returned home, not to mention Mina City, they still had a vast area to hide, and the casualties may not be too great, but a brigade of the 38th Division and the 55th Division of the Japanese Army was simply dealt an unprecedented blow, with nearly 30% of the infantry casualties, almost all the losses of armored vehicles, tanks, and automobiles, and most importantly, even the transport convoy of logistics supplies was wiped out.

When Shinichi Tanaka walked out of the bunker, his face was pale, his left arm was still wrapped in a bandage, and a piece of shrapnel cut his arm to the bone, if it wasn't for the guard blocking the shrapnel with his own body, the shrapnel that passed through the guard's chest was not strong enough, at least this arm would be properly gone.

The devastated scene after the bombing almost didn't make Tanaka Shinichi faint, and he jumped up and scolded more than a dozen times of "Eight Grid Tooth Road", but this did not help everything in front of him.

Tonight's sorrow is far more than Tanaka Shinichi and Tada Jun, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese Southern Army, General Terauchi Shouichi, who is far away in Bangkok, almost wants to die.

The inexplicable loss of more than 30 night fighters was still second, and coupled with the air raid of the expeditionary force tonight, the three divisions of the entire Eastern Front had lost nearly half of the battle in just a few days, and the losses of strategic materials were even more innumerable, and it was impossible to count them at all for the time being.

The three divisions were close to the 12th Army, and nearly 60,000 were annihilated by Jiang Haoran piecemeal, and most of them died not on the battlefield with real swords and guns, but from the ravages of helicopters, heavy artillery bombing, aircraft bombs, and machine gun strafing. The most pitiful is Tada Jun's 55th Division, so far no one in the expeditionary force has seen one, and the gun in his hand has not been released, but there are many casualties at all, which simply makes Terauchi Shouichi unable to look directly.

In order to ease the atmosphere, the chief of staff of the Japanese Southern Army, Tsukada Tsukashi, plucked up the courage to say: "Terauchi-kun, although the current casualties of the imperial army are heavy, as far as the three divisions of the Eastern Front are concerned, they are basically only preserving the structure, and in a strict sense, it is no longer suitable to continue fighting, but the expeditionary force is actually not much better, as far as the 75th Army is concerned, the casualties are definitely more than half." In addition, Jiang Haoran had already retreated the 28th and 29th divisions to Menggong, and at this time, there were only the remnants of the 75th Army, a regiment of paratroopers, and the new 38th Division on the front line of Mina, with a total strength of more than 20,000 at most, and the imperial army still had at least 60,000, so the imperial army still had a chance. ”

Shouichi Terauchi rolled his eyes and glanced at Tsukada Tsukata, and said miserably: "Opportunity? Alas, I am really afraid that even if these three divisions are not annihilated by Jiang Haoran if they continue to fight, they will be dragged down, and eventually lose their due combat effectiveness and morale. ”

When Shouichi Terauchi said these words at this time, he was undoubtedly disappointed to the extreme, and he also had an indescribable sense of fear in his heart.

Tsukada seemed to see through Terauchi Shouichi's thoughts, and said in a deep voice: "Terauchi-kun, you can't have this kind of negative thought, the imperial army is invincible, there is no doubt about this, although the current battle situation has indeed brought huge casualties to the imperial army, but today we have regained air supremacy, and the vanguard of the expeditionary force in the direction of Homarin has also been successfully contained, at least it can buy a day for the imperial army, as long as we continue to bomb the expeditionary force during the day tomorrow, the fifth army will not think about advancing, and the seventy-fifth army will not think of retreating, The three divisions of the Eastern Front, immediately reorganizing their troops, can still form combat effectiveness, and the all-out annihilation of the remnants of the Eastern Front of the Expeditionary Force can still become a reality, and victory ultimately belongs to the Imperial Army. ”

Terauchi Shouichi shook his head and said: "Tsukada-kun, it's not that I'm negative, but you haven't seen the situation clearly, we have lost this battle, since the 28th and 29th divisions of the expeditionary force retreated to Menggong, we have already lost, and we don't even have room for maneuver." ”
