Chapter 63: Second Ambush (1)
Yuo Mitsui, who was being carried, never felt that a road could be so long, and it seemed that it would never be finished. After Tang Cheng withdrew from the battle with his people, Mitsui Yuo, who tried several times to no avail, had to order a retreat to Huoshan, and the Mitsui squadron, which suffered heavy casualties, was no longer able to continue to attack Macheng, if he did not retreat Huoshan in time, maybe even those who were lucky enough to survive would die here, Mitsui Yuo knew that the Daochina army was also good at pursuit warfare.
Collected the finger bones of the Japanese soldiers who died in the battle, took away the intact weapons and ammunition, and burned the corpses and weapons that could not be taken away, Mitsui Yuo and his group silently returned to Huoshan. It was getting dark, and the road ahead stretched out of sight, and I didn't know when the road would come to an end or turn a corner. And this was not the worst of all, the low morale made the wounded soldiers wail incessantly, so that the speed of the troops was slowed down, and they walked for more than an hour, and they only advanced three miles.
"How long are we going to go?" The nerves of the soldiers were very tight, and the Japanese soldier who spoke seemed to be talking to himself, as if he was asking, he said very carefully, and used a very deep voice, but the few Japanese soldiers walking beside him heard all of them. No one knew the answer to the road, because their squadron leader Yuo Mitsui himself didn't know the way, and the originally imposing Mitsui squadron was now like a lost dog, and they all thought about the same question in their hearts with heavy casualties, but no one knew the answer to the road.
"I don't know how to go, I think, it shouldn't be far away, it's not a short time for us to leave." Someone in the queue finally spoke, and although the answer seemed a little vague, at least it was an answer, at least to comfort yourself and your companions. The demoralized Japanese soldiers looked up and saw that the slopes and trees were becoming denser and denser on both sides of the avenue. The leather boots were stepped on in some hard places, wrapped in dust and leaves, and made a slight "rustling" sound.
The conversation between his soldiers was also heard by Yuo Mitsui in the false sleep, but he did not stop it. At a time when the morale of the troops was low, if he, the squadron leader, reprimanded his soldiers, it might be counterproductive and cause resentment in the hearts of the soldiers. The plainclothes traitors who followed the Mitsui squadron out of Huoshan were also as depressed as if they had lost their souls, and at this time, they didn't dare to say more, so they could only keep their heads down and hurry silently.
Mitsui Yuo, who had suffered the defeat, now just wanted to return to Huoshan as soon as possible, but he never expected that Tang Cheng, who had ambushed him, would be so bold, and he had already detoured back to the dry grass ditch and waited to ambush him again. Tang Cheng, who set off an hour earlier than the Japanese army, had already arrived at the dry grass ditch, and after carefully observing the terrain, Tang Cheng chose the location of the second ambush, although there were only a dozen people around him, but Tang Cheng, who had 3 machine guns and 5 flower traps in hand, was not afraid, on the contrary, he thought that it should be the Japanese army that was afraid.
All the arrangements have been prepared, but the Japanese army has not yet appeared, Tang Cheng, who has nothing to do, had to lie on his back on the grassy slope and close his eyes to recuperate, the sky is getting dark a little bit, but the Japanese army still did not appear, Tang Cheng's heart can't help but be a little nervous. It will affect the line of sight when it gets dark, and it will affect the effect of the ambush even more, but Tang Cheng is more afraid that those Japanese puppet troops will go straight to Macheng if they insist on going their own way, although Zhilu Dao has Sun Liansheng's garrison regiment and Tian Guang's infantry company, Macheng may not be fine, but Tang Cheng still can't help but worry.
At this time, the soldier who was placed by Tang Cheng to serve as a lookout post on the top of the slope suddenly turned around and made a gesture, and while Tang Cheng was pushed awake, everyone who was waiting had quickly leaned down. Finally came, climbed to the top of the slope with both hands and feet, took the telescope handed by the lookout post, Tang Cheng crouched on the grassy slope and looked at the entrance of the dry grass ditch. Sure enough, it was the Japanese army coming, and the sparse queue appeared in Tang Cheng's telescope, and Tang Cheng's heart beat fast when he saw it, and his breathing became heavy.
Turning around and gesticulating, more than a dozen soldiers of the second company on the slope automatically got up, the grass net made of weeds and shrub branches was lifted, and the three-out machine gun position arranged by Tang Cheng was under the grass net. Looking up at the red glow in the sky, Tang Cheng couldn't help but tilt the corners of his mouth, fortunately, the sky is not dark yet, and the Japanese army would never have imagined that they would ambush them in the dry grass ditch, with the current morale of the Japanese army, Tang Cheng is confident that they will suffer a big loss here.
The Mitsui squadron, which suffered the defeat, was not a fool, and due to the "injured coma" of the squadron leader Yuo Mitsui, the first squad leader, Second Lieutenant Kurosawa, became the current commander of the Mitsui squadron. Kurosawa had served in Mitsui's squadron for more than three years, and when he was stationed in Manchuria, Kurosawa was a die-hard supporter of squadron leader Mitsui Yuo, so Mitsui, who pretended to be unconscious, had no objection to Kurosawa taking over his command.
Of the three squads of Mitsui's squadron, Kurosawa's first squad was the one with the strongest combat effectiveness, but his first squad was by no means the one with the greatest casualties. When encountering the fire raid of Kuroko and Lao Tohoku, Kurosawa's first squad was the first to jump off the roadbed, and the soldiers of the other two squads who seized the land temple and rushed to the roadbed were the soldiers of the other two squads, and when Mitsui's squadron suffered heavy casualties, his first squad suffered the least losses.
"Liu Sang, you are a friend of the Imperial Japanese Army, please send some people to the front to explore the way." Kurosawa, who took over the command, called Liu Heizi, who was in plainclothes for those traitors. He really didn't worry about the place in front of him, but he didn't want to send his soldiers to explore the way, and this dangerous job could only be completed by handing over the traitors under Liu Heizi in plain clothes. Liu Heizi was naturally reluctant to send his subordinates to be cannon fodder, but in the face of Kurosawa Xiong's smiling face, Liu Heizi subconsciously shivered in his heart, and nodded silently.
casually pointed out a few guys in the plainclothes under his subordinates, Liu Heizi coerced and lured, and these guys who were destined to be used as cannon fodder came to the front of the queue. At Kurosawa's signal, the Japanese soldiers who were originally walking in the front half of the queue gradually slowed down and let Liu Heizi and the traitors in plainclothes come to the front. "The Japanese are going to use us as cannon fodder." In the face of life and death, the traitors under Liu Heizi began to make noise, seeing that Liu Heizi was about to be unable to suppress it.
"Papapa" Kurosawa took out a short gun and fired three shots in a row, and three of the traitors who were clamoring and refused to move their steps fell. "This is an order, those who do not obey the order will be killed directly, they are an example." Kurosawa Xiong, who had a scowling face, pointed at the three unlucky people who fell to the ground with the short gun in his hand, and the Japanese soldiers under Kurosawa took a step forward with their rifles equipped with bayonets, and in the face of the shining bayonets, Liu Heizi and his traitors were shocked, and without Kurosawa Xiong continuing to intimidate, the cannon fodder pointed out by Liu Heizi was busy striding forward.
"Damn the Shina man, I don't want to obey until I'm angry." Seeing that his intimidation had an effect, Kurosawa Ambition, who was angry, smiled secretly in his heart and withdrew his short gun. Big sticks and candy, this is the experience summed up by those sleeper agents of the special high school, and in their long latent life, this is the only rule of interaction with Chinese. Kurosawa is not a person from the special high school, he is a soldier, and the means of a soldier are only to pursue force, as long as the force is strong enough, these people will be obedient, just like just now.
The traitors who went on the road again cursed Kurosawa in their hearts that they should die, and at the same time cautiously looked around at the movements around them, and when they came, they were attacked here. Although the scale of the attack was negligible, they were cautious for fear that bullets from the attackers would shoot from the slopes on both sides of the mountain road. The caution of the traitors will naturally slow down the speed of their march, which makes Kurosawa very unhappy, "Liu Sang, tell them to hurry up." Kurosawa couldn't help but feel irritable, and urged Liu Heizi and them loudly.
Liu Heizi, who had a knife face, turned around and gave Kurosawa Xiong a smile, "Kurosawa Taijun, look at the terrain here, we were attacked here when we came, it's not a big mistake to be careful, isn't it also for the sake of Mitsui Taijun's safety." Kurosawa, who had a straight face, didn't speak, although he knew that the nasty-looking Shina was right. Seeing that Kurosawa didn't make a sound, Liu Heizi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and urged his dogs to speed up.
"You'd better tell your people to hurry, Mitsui Shaozuo's injuries are very serious, we have to rush back to Huoshan to find a doctor." Kurosawa finally softened his tone slightly, but it caused Liu Heizi to curse in his heart. What does it have to do with Lao Tzu when Yuo Mitsui was injured, it's better to die in the middle of the road, it's a big deal that Lao Tzu took these brothers to join the national army, it's better than being shot and killed by a guy with a black face like you.
A "pop" of gunshots rang out, and a Japanese soldier standing beside Kurosawa fell to the ground. The sound of gunfire was the signal, and the mountain road where there was originally only the sound of footsteps suddenly became a burst of gunfire, and three chains of fire and more than a dozen guns erupted on both sides of the road. "There is an ambush" Liu Heizi knew that something was wrong when he heard the gunshot, he screamed, jumped off the mountain road with a roll, rolled on the ground a few times, and lay motionless among the weeds.
There are many people who think the same way as Liu Heizi, Kurosawa Xiong is one of them, Liu Heizi just lowered his body, Kurosawa Xiong has already bowed his waist and pounced under the roadbed. It's just that Kurosawa Xiong's luck is obviously much worse than Liu Heizi, Liu Heizi jumped down the mountain road and lay down in the grass unharmed and pretended to be dead, but when Kurosawa Xiong jumped down the mountain road, he triggered a treacherous thunder planted by them in Tang City, and the explosion of fire directly engulfed Kurosawa Xiong entirely.
