Chapter 123: Defection

"Nani? Lost contact with the Huangzhuang stronghold? "Leading troops to garrison Wan'an Town is an absolute demotion and not to be seen by Kamei Hara Ichiro, since the last time the encirclement and suppression of the Tu Eight Road failed and lost half of the squadron by the opponent's counter-pursuit, Kamei Hara Ichiro, who re-replenished the source of troops, was sent to this Wan'an Town. Kamei Hara Ichiro, who had the rank of Shaozo and the position of squadron leader, was supposed to be stationed in Gaoyang County, but now he could only command several stronghold turrets around Wan'an Town, and Huangzhuang was one of them.

Zhao Zhi's attack and harassment action frightened the Japanese puppet army in Hebei, and according to the deployment of Okamura Ningji, the Japanese army in Hebei gathered heavy troops to clear the anti-Japanese forces in the territory, and at the same time restarted the plan of encirclement of the iron wall. Communication trenches were dug between towns and villages again, and some of the main roads were almost everywhere with the artillery towers and strongholds of the Japanese puppet army, especially Baoding, which had been surrounded by Burmese mercenaries for half a month, was even more strictly guarded for fear of being picked up by the Tubalu guerrillas.

"Maybe it's Tu Balu cutting our phone lines again." A squad leader under Ichiro Hara believed that this was the destruction of the Tsuchiba Road, and since the heavy troops cleared the Tsubak Road, there were only a few scattered Tsuchiba Roads around Gaoyang County. These sporadic Tubalu armed forces did not dare to fight the Japanese Imperial Army head-on, so they always liked to do some small tricks such as cutting telephone lines and digging roads.

"Then send a squad of soldiers over to take a look, if it is really cut by Tubalu, then it is necessary for us to carry out a thorough cleanup of this area." After listening to Ichiro Oniihara's words, the Japanese officers present all showed expressions of understanding. When Okamura Ninji personally led his troops south to Dezhou, he had an order, strictly ordering the Japanese puppet army in Hebei not to disturb the people, and only when they encountered and discovered anti-Japanese armed forces could they use force to clear them.

Sitting in the barracks all day to train the soldiers, making Ichiro Onii Hara and his officers who are full of killings in their hearts lonely, clearing the dirt and eight roads is obviously a good excuse to let them completely release the killing hidden in their hearts after a long time. "Your Excellency Shaozuo, the infantry squad we sent out has news that the telephone line was indeed destroyed by the Zhina people, but the Huangzhuang stronghold was indeed attacked by the Zhina forces, and the number of attackers is about more than 100 people." After lunch, Ichiro Oniihara got the exact news, and that was exactly what he wanted.

After determining that Huangzhuang was attacked by the Tuba Road armed forces, Ichiro Oniihara mobilized two squads of Japanese troops and 120 Imperial Allied troops to Huangzhuang to clear out the anti-Japanese forces, while only one and a half Japanese squads and more than 30 Imperial Allied troops were left in Wan'an Town, where he was stationed. "It's half past 13 o'clock, and there are less than 120 Japanese puppet troops left in Wan'an Town, according to the original action plan, let's start at 14 o'clock, and we must complete the battle within half an hour." Looking at the Japanese puppet army troops who left Wan'an Town, Meng Hu, who was disguised as a foot catcher, talked with his mercenaries in a low voice.

Taking Huangzhuang is just the beginning of Tang Lei, and Wan'an Town is just a part of the transfer of the tiger from the mountain, and Ichiro Kiihara, who left Wan'an Town and went to Huangzhuang, could not escape the ambush set by Tang Lei. Menghu's squad has more than 30 people, and their task is to infiltrate Wan'an Town in disguise, wait for the Japanese puppet army to rush to Huangzhuang, and then take the opportunity to sneak attack the remaining Japanese puppet army in Wan'an Town. As for why Tang Lei was sure that the Japanese puppet army in Wan'an Town would definitely transfer troops to Huangzhuang, it was because a squad of Japanese soldiers sent by Ichiro Onii Hara to check the telephone line had already become Tang Lei's prisoners.

Ichiro Oniihara, who was riding a tall horse, didn't know that Tang Lei was already paying attention to Wan'an Town, and there was a trap in front of him that was enough to cost him his life, waiting for him and his Japanese puppet soldiers. "Koizumi-kun, you said that we would catch a few female Tubalu this time, I miss those days in Beiping a little." Ichiro Oniihara's face showed a look that only a man could understand, and there was a lewd look in his eyes.

Koizumi, the squad leader who rode horses beside him, looked vigilant, but his position was lower than that of Ichiro Onihara, and although he was older, it was not good to interrupt Ichiro Onihara's words, so he could only nod his head and echo Ichiro's words. "There is an ambush" The forward soldier dozens of meters away suddenly shouted at the top of his voice, and the Japanese soldiers of the same team looked in the direction of his finger, and a steel helmet was prominently exposed in the wind-blown grass in the distance.

Before these Japanese forward soldiers could react more, several tongues of fire suddenly burst out of the grass and rushed towards them, watching the bodies of the forward soldiers twitch and twist in the rain of bullets, and Ichiro Onihara on horseback was dumbfounded. "Enemy attack, enemy attack." Koizumi's reaction was fast, and after turning over and dismounting, he dragged the stupid Ichiro Onihara off the horse, and at the same time kept shouting in his mouth to let his soldiers prepare for battle.

Ichiro Oniihara is not a greedy person who is afraid of death, and the reason why he did not react at the moment when the gun rang out was mainly because he was stunned by the strong firepower of the attacker. Looking at the scale of the gunfire fired at the forward squad just now, the attacker had at least more than 4 machine guns in his hands, according to Ichiro Kiihara's understanding of the Tsuchihachi Road, this would definitely not be the Dirt Eight Road, it was likely to be their regular troops, and it was very likely to be their main force, because the Dirt Eight Road was not equipped with such a strong firepower.

"Machine guns fired, machine guns suppressed them." Koizumi had already ordered the machine gunners to fire back, and the dense rain of bullets that erupted from the fire just now smashed the grassy slope where the flames had just burst out, and the grenadiers under Ichiro Onii Hara also fired grenades, and the smoke rolled up into a beautiful semicircle in the air. "Stop shooting, stop shooting." Koizumi waved the command knife in his hand, and the gunfire stopped abruptly, but the sparse grass slope that was beaten did not move.

The three Japanese soldiers who were spotted by Ichiro Oniihara cautiously groped their way forward with rifles, and Ichiro Oniihara asked them to make sure of the situation on the grassy slope. Fear and apprehension filled their bodies, but this was the squadron leader's order, and the three Japanese soldiers who were ordered by Ichiro Oniihara had to do it. "No one, only some shells were found." The three Japanese soldiers who were lucky enough not to be attacked were almost cheering back to their camp, and all they could bring to Ichiro Onii Hara was a few cartridge casings with Han rifle cartridges, which meant that the attacker was using the Taisho 11 light machine gun produced by the Empire.

"Bang" Ichiro Oniihara, who had not yet opened his mouth and had not yet spoken, opened his arms and fell on his back without warning, the soft military hat on his head and half of his head were gone, and Koizumi Su, who was standing next to him, was splashed with blood plasma. The hot white brain pulp made Koizumi immediately bend over and spit out, and a piece of slippery and greasy brain pulp that splashed over had even passed down his esophagus into his stomach. "Bang" was another gunshot, and Koizumi, who still had vomit on the corner of his mouth, fell on the body of Ichiro Hara with blood rushing on his head.

Squadron leader Ichiro Onii Hara was killed, and Koizumi, the squad leader of the team, was also killed after an interval of only 2 seconds, and now the only one who can take over the command is the captain of another team, Omi, who was lying behind Koizumi's corpse, saved his life. However, his luck was only temporary, at least 3 sniper rifles were aimed at Koizumi's body at a high point 300 meters away from him, as long as Oshi, who was hiding behind Koizumi's corpse, dared to move around and reveal his body, he would never live more than 1 minute longer than Koizumi.

"Thunder, they are Thunder, they are Thunder's sniper troops." There were veterans of the Thunder in the squad, all too familiar with the sound of firing that was slightly duller than the 38 rifle, and too many of their companions had been killed by the sound of gunfire in the two large-scale raids they had experienced a month earlier. The Japanese army panicked, but the 120 Imperial Allied soldiers who came with the team were happy, and the surrender order issued by Thunder was also effective for the Imperial Allied Army, as long as the Imperial Allied Army who were willing to surrender took the initiative to lay down their arms and surrender when fighting against Thunder, Thunder would generally leave them alive.

After three consecutive shots, Koizumi's head was completely rotten watermelon, and Omi, who was hiding behind his corpse, was also pierced through the neck by a third bullet, which would collapse helplessly in a pool of blood and convulse. The three officers who led the team were all killed, and the commander who took over was at a loss, but the Imperial Cooperative Army outside his line of sight quietly moved together, "Company commander, it's definitely a thunderous person who came, let's make a plan early, and we can't follow these Japanese people to take their lives." "There are not a few people in the Imperial Association who advocate surrendering against the water, and the number of Japanese troops is more than them, but there are thunderous people in the shadows, and there is still a great chance of survival against the water.

"Then let's fight, quietly transfer our machine guns, and wait for my order to fire." The Imperial Allied Army also had machine guns in their hands, and there was more than one, two machine guns plus a salvo of more than 100 rifles of the Imperial Allied Army, which was designated as enough for the Japanese soldiers to drink a pot. The sudden attack of the Imperial Allied Army suddenly dominated this ambush battle that originally belonged to the Thunder mercenaries, and the mercenaries who were going to play cat and mouse were dumbfounded, and the Japanese troops of the two squads only held out for one round under the close range of 120 Imperial Allied troops, and then less than a third was left, even if there was no mercenary to shoot, the outcome of this ambush was already doomed.

"Sir, we surrendered on our own initiative, these Japanese soldiers were all killed by us, can we be regarded as a traitor to the rebellion before the battle?" The company commander of the Imperial Association Army, who was shot and wounded in the arm, sat on the ground with a sad face, after 120 Imperial Allies killed all the Japanese soldiers, but less than half of the Imperial Allies under his command survived, and this transaction was a big loss.
