Chapter 90: Volleying the Baggage

The dawn was silent, and there was no sound in all directions. It's so quiet, and it's so abnormal. The early risers were already preparing breakfast, and the heavy soldiers in shirts were sorting out their things to take care of, just waiting for breakfast to be over and then continuing the march. Hasegawa, who also wakes up early, stretches his waist very comfortably, looking at the emerald green jungle in the distance, and constantly moves the body, and getting up early to get body is a habit that Hasegawa has cultivated for many years, even in wartime.

This time, he was ordered to go north to encircle and suppress the Chinese army, and Hasegawa was in charge of the logistics baggage team, and I don't know what the guys in the Oshima squadron who escaped back by luck said, and the wing commander would directly order the troops of the two brigades to go north to encircle and suppress. Hasegawa is just a logistics officer, and how to mobilize troops to fight is not something he can interfere with, so when Hasegawa received the order, he had already made up his mind to only manage the things that belonged to him, and he should not see the rest.

One after another, the men knocked on the rice spoon and pot lid in their hands, which was a signal that the meal could be opened, and the baggage soldiers began to line up with their respective lunch boxes and wait for the meal to be served. Although Hasegawa is a dignified young man, he does not have the habit of eating alone like other officers, and Hasegawa, who was born as a farmer, knows what his shortcomings are, so he would rather have three meals with his baggage soldiers than eat alone in the tent with the two guys sent by the wing commander.

"Fool" Kobayashi Shozo squinted at Hasegawa, who was squatting with the baggage soldiers, and motioned for his guards to enter the tent with their breakfast. Unlike Hasegawa, the young and vigorous Kobayashi Masazan is a close confidant of the Wing Captain, indicating that the Wing Captain specially sent the Baggage Dà Team to supervise the transportation of materials, but in fact, it is to pave the way for Kobayashi Masasan to be promoted to a military position in the future.

At the end of breakfast, the baggage dà team that had set up camp in this open field was about to hit the road, and according to the information given by the Kawada brigade, they were now more than 40 miles away from the battlefield chosen by the Kawada brigade. If it weren't for the fact that they also helped the Kawada Brigade carry two 75 mountain guns, perhaps according to Hasegawa's original marching plan, they would have joined the Kawada Brigade last night. Tang Cheng and Dice were lying in the grass less than 500 meters away from the left flank of the Hase Brigade at this moment, this Japanese army was a logistics baggage force at a glance, and the two 75 mountain guns in the camp were obviously the most worthy targets in the entire camp.

Tang Cheng originally wanted to continue to observe closely, but seeing that the other party's posture was about to leave, Tang Cheng finally decided to sneak attack the other party here first, at least not to let the Japanese heavy troops send the two 75 mountain guns intact to bombard them. Tang Cheng decided to attack this Japanese army's baggage force, but did not rashly make a rash move, their task was not only to find a few targets and then sneak attack, but to harass the attacking Japanese troops at the periphery of the camp, and create an opportunity for Mike and them to destroy the enemy.

Sneak attack the enemy and don't want to be entangled by the enemy, which requires the necessary long-range firepower, but when Tang Cheng left the camp, they didn't carry any long-range firepower at all, if the grenadier on Tang Cheng's back could be regarded as long-range firepower, then a dozen of them only had this long-range weapon. What to do? Seeing that the Japanese troops in the binoculars were already preparing to go on the road, Tang Cheng, who was lying in the grass, was unwilling but had nothing to do, and he couldn't let a dozen of them carry rifles to fight the Japanese army.

"How many explosives and grenades do we have?" Tang Cheng turned around and looked at Tan Fei, for the sake of the jade mine, when they left the camp, they brought a lot of explosives and grenades, Tang Cheng remembered that when the jade rough was mined in the cave, they didn't use much explosives. Tan Fei thought for a moment and gave an answer that Tang Cheng was quite satisfied with, at least he could use these explosives and grenades to create a small mess for this Japanese baggage force.

"Let's go around in front of them and find a chance to get them." Tang Cheng, who already had a rough plan, strode out, and the rest of the people could only follow and leave here quickly. Hasegawa's baggage troops moved quickly, and they were ready to set off not long after breakfast, Hasegawa gave an order, and the assembled baggage dà team continued on the road, and the direction of progress was the direction of the northward movement of the Kawada brigade.

Although Hasegawa was the commander of this baggage team, he had been sitting on a cart that hauled the baggage, while Shozo Kobayashi and his guards sent by the wing captain each rode a tall horse. Kobayashi Shozo is just a captain, but Hasegawa is a young samurai, which makes the soldiers under Hasegawa in the baggage team very dissatisfied with Kobayashi Shozo and the two, thinking that Kobayashi Shozo disrespects the commander and should be punished.

Hasegawa knew the dissatisfaction of his soldiers, and he only tried his best to dissuade him, and the Chinese army began to counterattack northern Burma, and he could only die faster if he showed off his might on the battlefield, and a veteran like Hasegawa knew it all too well. In fact, Hasegawa has always ignored Kobayashi Shozo and it is precisely because of this intention that if Kobayashi Shozo dies at the hands of the Shina army, it is not good for the wing captain to complain about him. Hasegawa, who was sitting in the car, secretly glanced at Kobayashi Shozo, and said in his heart that he was about to die, look at how beautiful you are.

Hasegawa, who was secretly sorry in his heart, didn't know that he had also become Tang Cheng's target, and he had the highest rank in the entire baggage army, and the rank mark of Shaozo on his uniform had become an important basis for the dice to lock him. Leaving the camp last night, the route traveled by the baggage troops was all in the open area of the flat river, and you could see the distance at a glance in such terrain, so Hasegawa did not send a scout, anyway, it was only more than forty miles away from the Kawada brigade.

With a soft sound of "poof", Hasegawa, who was straddled on the cart, was about to pick up the telescope hanging on his chest to look forward, but his body seemed to have been hit hard, and the whole person fell to his right side. An ensign walking beside the cart felt a warmth on his face, stretched out his hand and wiped it, his palms were full of blood red, and then looked up at Hasegawa who was crooked on the cart, his chief's head was already blood-red.

"Poof" was another soft sound, and Kobayashi Shozo, who didn't know anything on horseback, was also shot and fell off the horse, and the second lieutenant immediately dodged to the back of the cart and shouted at the top of his voice, "Hide, hide quickly, the enemy is attacking, someone is attacking us." Two officers were shot and fell in succession, and the Japanese soldiers in the baggage squadron began to panic, but when everyone found cover and hidden, the attackers completely stopped moving as if they had never appeared.

The dice that had fired two shots from 500 meters had been evacuated, and the place where the shots had been fired was so far away from the person who had been shot that the Japanese soldiers could not hear the clear sound of the gunfire and could not identify the location of the attacker by the direction from which the shots came. Dozens of bold Japanese soldiers were sent out by the officers who took over the command, and the Japanese soldiers with rifles covered each other and carefully searched the direction in which the attackers might have been stored, but they did not even find the shadow of the attackers, or even the bullet casings.

There were no attackers, no traces left by the attackers, and the officer who took over Hasegawa's command of the baggage dà team wanted to cry without tears, so he could only carry the bodies of Hasegawa and Kobayashi Shozo into the cart first, and wait for the reunion with the Kawada brigade to make a decision. "Boom" "Boom" The baggage team that lost the commander looked at the original direction and walked out less than 2 miles, and the two carts at the beginning triggered the mines arranged by Tang Cheng and the people, and the violent explosion directly caused the two carts that were struck by the mines into fragments, and the sound of the explosion also startled the mules and horses on the remaining carts.

The smoke and fire blocked their sight in Tangcheng, and also blocked the sight of the Japanese army, and the dice took this opportunity to fire one after another, relying on the ultra-long range of the sniper rifle, the dice used the sniper rifle in their hands to successfully suppress the more than 100 Japanese soldiers who escaped the catastrophe and did not dare to move. The mules and horses that pulled the two 75 mountain guns were the first to escape, and they were also the unlucky ones of the second wave of mines, including a few Japanese soldiers who wanted to forcibly control the mules and horses, all of them were blown into parts and fragments by the mines made of explosives and grenades, and the purpose of Tangcheng's attack on this Japanese baggage force had been achieved for the most part.

Tangcheng they pestered this group of Japanese soldiers like a dog's skin plaster to stop and stop, the distance of 40 miles made the journey of this heavy team of lost soldiers unbearable, and when they and the reinforcements sent by the Kawada brigade converged, more than 400 people and more than a dozen carts of all sizes that had left Magao had been intercepted by Tangcheng They left less than 200 people and two lonely carts. "Yaga, Yaga." The officer who took over Hasegawa's command of the baggage dà team was slapped several times, and if it weren't for the strong persuasion of the officer next to him, maybe this thing would have been shot on the spot by the enraged Kazuo Kawada.

In order to intercept this group of Chinese troops, who were said to be preparing to go south, the Kawada brigade was transferred north without much ammunition. The Kawada Brigade had been waiting for the ammunition and mountain artillery carried by the baggage troops, and now it was good, not only was there only a few rifle shells left in the ammunition, but even the two mountain guns were destroyed, and without the mountain artillery, the Kawada Brigade did not know what to use to attack the enemy's position.

Diametrically opposed to the Japanese army, Mack was overjoyed to learn that Tangcheng had destroyed two of the enemy's mountain guns and most of the baggage on the periphery. As long as the Japanese army against them does not have a big killer weapon such as mountain artillery, Mike does not have to worry very much about the other party breaking through his position, not to mention that he just received a batch of airdropped materials yesterday, even if he does not move and consume time with the other side here, the Japanese army on the opposite side is afraid that he will not be able to consume himself.
