"Squadron leader, we have shot and killed more than a dozen Chinese guerrillas and injured many more, but we just let them escape."
In the office of the security squadron leader in Qinghe Town, a Japs second lieutenant reported to the squadron leader Kasai Sadao with some excitement.
The guerrillas' attacks on their food collection teams, patrols, checkpoints and gun towers caused them heavy losses, making people panic and worried that they would be attacked.
However, the Japanese captain Kasai Sadao was not a vegetarian, and he quickly took countermeasures, which was to send powerful Japanese soldiers to fight back in the same way.
These experienced Japanese soldiers were also ambushing everywhere in small groups, waiting for the guerrillas to come over. When they were caught off guard, the guerrillas lost some people, so the Japanese achieved some remarkable results.
"The hanging of the corpse will let those unscrupulous guerrillas and wavering elements know the consequences of resisting our Imperial Japanese Army!"
Japanese Captain Kasai Sadao's face was full of ferocity: "Our shooting team must also take the initiative to expand the results, and cannot always be passive in defense..."
"Hi Yi!" The Japanese second lieutenant bowed his head heavily, full of admiration for Sadao Kasai.
At the beginning, they were beaten badly by the guerrillas. Unexpectedly, in just a few days, the situation reversed.
Under the orders of the Japanese Captain Kasai Sadao, the Japanese stationed in Qinghe Town quickly took action. The carefully selected Japanese soldiers were not limited to the highways, but also the guerrillas who were ambushing near the gun towers and came to attack.
They also formed a group of three or five people and began to penetrate into the vast countryside, preparing to sneak attack and kill the officers and soldiers of the guerrillas, and launched a large-scale counterattack.
I have to say that the Japanese nation is very good at learning. As long as they feel that something is beneficial to them, they will quickly learn and apply it. This is why they, an island country with scarce resources, can develop and grow.
The Japanese brigade stationed in the county seat was clearing out another active guerrilla column in the area to the north of the county seat. They could not spare the troops to support Qinghe Town, so they only sent two hundred puppet troops.
The two hundred puppet troops were no longer a mob in military uniforms, but elites trained under the guidance of the Japanese soldiers' advisers, and they were very strong.
Before the war, the Japanese only had more than a dozen standing divisions. Although they were hastily expanding their troops and converting reserves into active duty, their strength was still somewhat stretched, and they had to cultivate a large number of puppet troops to assist them in fighting.
At the beginning, these puppet troops had low combat effectiveness, and they collapsed at the first touch against the guerrillas, which did not help them much.
But now the combat effectiveness of the puppet troops has been greatly enhanced after training, and they have become the effective minions of the Japanese.
This time the Japanese captain Kasai Sadao took the initiative and not only sent experienced Japanese soldiers deep into the countryside, he also sent these puppet troops with strong combat effectiveness.
These puppet soldiers disguise themselves as guerrilla officers and soldiers, which is even more confusing. After all, they all speak Chinese. If you are not careful, you can easily be deceived.
"Snapped!"
"Snapped!"
In the vast countryside, three guerrillas dressed in civilian clothes were stumbling along the muddy fields.
Behind them, more than a dozen fierce Japanese soldiers were shooting and chasing. The bullets hit the running guerrillas behind them, and mud spattered.
"Kill Gaigai! Kill Gaigai!" The Japanese roared fiercely and chased after him.
"Damn it, one of our brothers was bitten by the Japanese!"
In a grassy area, three hidden guerrillas looked at the two teams chasing each other and cursed in a low voice.
"How dare the Japs go deep here? They are so brave!" a brother said angrily. After all, this place is far away from the Japs' gun towers and strongholds.
Looking at the panting guerrillas, the commander of this combat group made a loud noise and loaded the bullet: "Don't mess with those useless things now, we have to help!"
"Knives, kettles, let's fight separately. Let's hold off the Japs first and give those brothers time to escape." The commander of the combat team whispered.
"yes!"
It was impossible for them to stand by and watch as their brothers were being chased and beaten. Although there were only three of them, they were still ready to help.
"Remember, don't fight hard." The commander of the combat team warned.
"Boss, don't worry, we won't be reckless."
Daozi smiled, carried the gun and walked out, using the cover of the terrain to touch the left side.
Ke Ke also quietly went out with his gun, quietly approaching the two groups of people who were chasing him.
"boom!"
A dull gunshot rang out, and a trotting little Jaap who was chasing him had blood splattered on his arms, and fell down into the muddy paddy field wailing.
"Uchina! Hidden!"
The other dozen or so Japs reacted quickly and subconsciously threw themselves into the paddy field next to the ridge. The mud splashed and they all fell down.
"Damn, you hid pretty fast!"
Seeing the little Japs chasing on the field ridge disappear from sight in the blink of an eye, Daozi cursed in a low voice and moved away with his gun in hand.
"Puff!"
As soon as the knife left the position where he had just been lying down, the enemy's bullets from the enemy's counterattack covered that area, and the weeds were scattered everywhere.
"Machine gun cover, your outflank!"
Under the order of the Japs squad leader, the Japs soldiers set up their machine guns. The three Japs crawled out of the paddy field covered in mud, and crouched towards the place where the knife had been hiding.
"puff!"
The gunfire rang out again, and the Japanese who had just taken a step was shot in the thigh. He screamed and fell straight into the stinky ditch. The other two Japanese were so frightened that they shrank back obscenely.
"Three o'clock, shoot!"
"Da da da--"
The Japs' machine gunners immediately fired out a hail of bullets. Keke was so frightened that he rolled and crawled away, breaking into a cold sweat.
Seeing that the pursued brothers in front had already run away, Daozi and the others were not reluctant to fight. After all, the Japanese had machine guns, so they quickly and quietly retreated into the reed swamp.
"Brother, are you okay?"
Soon, Daozi and the others caught up with the three guerrilla officers and soldiers who were being chased by the Japanese, and asked from a distance.
"It's okay, it's okay, you guys helped us just now, thank you very much." The three guerrilla officers and soldiers who looked embarrassed stood up with a smile.
"Brother, what company are you in, do you look strange?" Daozi asked as he walked in.
"We are from the third company. We just joined our guerrillas not long ago..."
"Three...three companies?"
When Daozi heard this, he paused. The three guerrillas caught the subconscious change in Daozi's expression and knew that they had said the wrong thing.
"Do it!"
A puppet soldier at the head pretending to be a guerrilla shouted loudly, took out a hidden shell gun and pulled the trigger.
"Don't move! We are..."
When Daozi and the others heard that the other party was the third company, they realized that they might be the enemy. After all, their current third guerrilla detachment only has two combat companies. Where did the third company come from?
So when these fake guerrillas took out their guns, they unscrewed the bottom cover of the grenade hidden in their sleeves and pulled the string and threw it out.
When they saw the knife and they threw grenades, the fake guerrillas also anxiously pulled the trigger.
"Bang bang bang——"
But the distance was too close. Although Knife threw the grenade and backed away, he was still hit.
"Boom!"
In the trembling explosion, earth exploded and exploded, and the three fake guerrillas were so frightened that they fell to the ground. There were numerous wounds on their backs, and they grinned in pain.
When the three scarred fake guerrillas got up, Keke and the brothers in the combat team had already run away with the shot knives.
Not far away, the team of little devils just heard the noise and ran over.
"Fuck, chase!"
The puppet army was a little angry. They had been busy for a long time playing a trick to catch a live guerrilla, but the other party ran away on alert.
