Five hundred and twentieth chapters camouflage deception
At dawn, the wet mist filled the mountains and forests, and the distant mountains and nearby forests were looming in the mist, like a fairyland.
The crystal dewdrops rolled down from the dead vines, and the fluttering birds began to chirp, which invisibly added a lot of vitality and vitality to the mountain forest.
The mountainous area where explosions and gunshots had resounded throughout the night also became quiet again. Teams of Japanese soldiers, exhausted from the torment and with blood-red eyes, carefully searched and advanced along the winding mountain roads.
As the night faded and light returned to the earth, these haggard Japanese soldiers looked much more relaxed. Compared to the endless and endless attacks in the night, the daytime gave them an inexplicable sense of security.
Hundreds of Yang Ling's brothers were divided into nearly a hundred attacking teams, and they were distributed throughout the Japs' retreat, using various means to harass the Japs, which made the Japs miserable.
For the first time, the arrogant and arrogant Japanese soldiers felt the fear of the night. Even the rifles in their hands could not give them any sense of security. They had to stare into the darkness all the time to prevent being attacked.
However, even if they raised the alert level to the highest level, there were still many loopholes in the marching team, and the attacks were sometimes cold shots and sometimes dropped bombs.
The Japanese troops who had to rush all night had to pay attention to their steps. At first, there were mines with shocking explosive power, and later there were well-camouflaged traps.
Those trap pits were filled with sharpened bamboos. If a leading soldier accidentally fell in, those sharp bamboos could pierce a person's entire body.
Many Japanese soldiers saw the pathfinders being carried down from the front. They did not die immediately. They were still alive when they were brought out, but it was more painful than being dead.
They howled in pain after stepping on the trap, and their chests were penetrated by five sharpened bamboos. Those bamboo tips dripping with blood made the Japanese soldiers who saw this scene stand on end.
They secretly cursed the attackers in their hearts, and at the same time secretly swore in their hearts that if they stepped into such a trap, they would rather commit suicide than suffer in pain.
In contrast to these various traps, the attackers hiding in the night would also take off the clothes of their dead and put them on, and then sneak into their ranks silently.
The entire team was in a state of high tension. Their eyes were fixed on the places where explosions and gunshots were fired, but they did not know that their attackers were already disguised beside them.
There were thousands of soldiers in the 6th Brigade. They pulled the team along the rugged mountain road for several miles without thinking about the future.
Many Japanese soldiers were unfamiliar with the soldiers in other units except for those in their own unit or squad. The chaos caused by the attack made them unaware that the enemy had sneaked up beside them.
Yang Ling and the others took advantage of the darkness and boldly disguised themselves to sneak in. Many brothers infiltrated into the Japs' ranks, sometimes touching their ammunition boxes to detonate grenades, and sometimes grabbing machine guns and firing wildly.
Although most of these suicide squad-like brothers died on the spot, the chaos and casualties they caused to the Japs increased exponentially, leading to the fact that the Japs now no longer trust outsiders except members of their own team.
Because those who spoke Japanese were unreliable, one of their lieutenants was killed with a knife in the neck by an attacker who knew Japanese and was disguised as a messenger.
What's terrible is that the person who attacked them actually ran away under the cover of night, which made them very angry and resentful.
Those ever-present attacks made the Japanese soldiers, who had always ignored the Chinese army, suffer so much that they almost went crazy.
They had never expected that the road to evacuate from Minshan to Ruichang would be so difficult. They could have walked through the mountainous area in three hours, but they still had to walk for six hours.
But fortunately for these Japanese soldiers, at dawn, the biggest support of the attackers disappeared. These angry Japanese soldiers believed that in such daytime, as long as they dare to attack, they will definitely make it impossible for them to come back.
.
Indeed, as the Japs had expected, at dawn, Yang Ling and the other attackers who had used up all their bullets and grenades did not dare to approach the heavily guarded Japs.
Although they were at home at night and could use countless ways to sneak attack on the Japs, even if the Japs were heavily guarded, it would be useless, but during the day, their advantage was gone.
The Japs had very high individual skills and marksmanship, and they were extremely familiar with team coordination. If they provoked the Japs during the day, even if they were tired, Yang Ling and the others would not be able to escape safely.
So after daybreak, Yang Ling and the others, who had been struggling all night long, began to retreat to the predetermined location, giving up the idea of attacking during the day.
Although Yang Ling and the others quietly evacuated, the traps left behind still existed, and the Japanese's marching speed was not much faster.
The Japs' vanguard team at the front of the team had changed a lot in just a few hours. Their predecessors were injured or disabled, and their condition was appalling.
Although serving as a vanguard has always been a dangerous task, at this moment, facing dangers everywhere, this danger has risen to an extreme.
The vanguard detachment of Sergeant Otsuo Kanichi had just been rotated in half an hour ago. The previous vanguard detachment had five people killed and three seriously wounded. It had lost its combat effectiveness and had to be replaced.
Dajiao Guanyi is a veteran who has fought many tough battles. He has killed more than ten Chinese officers and soldiers with his own hands. He has rich combat experience.
But when he received the task of searching for a vanguard, he still couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. The continuous casualties of the troops made veterans like him a little afraid of serving as a vanguard, but the commander's order forced him to bite the bullet.
Because they were worried about stepping on landmines again and causing huge casualties, the entire vanguard team spread out widely, with four riflemen in the front, a machine gun support group in the middle, and four riflemen behind.
After marching in the mountainous area for so long, Dajiao Guanyi's steps were as heavy as lead. Although waves of fatigue came over him, he still managed to stay alert to the situation around him.
"Huh?" Dajiao Guanyi glanced at a big tree lying on the road in front of him. His pupils narrowed slightly. He realized the danger and hurriedly shouted.
The entire vanguard unit quickly lay down and took cover like a frightened bird, and began to look around in case of an attack by a sneak attacker.
The march of the troops about a hundred meters away from behind the vanguard unit also suddenly stopped, and they all pulled the bolts of their guns and began to be on alert, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
"What's going on?" shouted a second lieutenant who was half-crouching and hiding behind a rock.
"Sir, I suspect there is a tripping thunder." the big horn officer replied.
They encountered this situation many times last night. When they saw the big trees lying on the road, they subconsciously moved them to the roadside, but as soon as they moved, they exploded with a bang, killing many people. Now they have no choice but to move them to the roadside.
Act carelessly.
"Request support from the engineering troops." The second lieutenant ordered, and a Japanese soldier immediately got up and ran towards the back of the team.
Soon, more than a dozen Japanese engineers arrived at the scene under the cover of machine guns. After repeatedly confirming that there was no ambush in the surrounding woods, they stepped forward and began to deal with it.
But after Oakuo Kanichi and the others waited nervously for a while, the engineer lieutenant shrugged and said helplessly: "Nothing."
There was indeed nothing, because it was just a fake trap tree that had been knocked down. To scare the Japanese, Yang Ling and the others had already run out of ammunition.
