Rushing into an unfamiliar area to fight on such a cold night is a test for the troops. Although the Japanese often conduct night fighting training, they are still exhausted from the torture at this moment.
However, in order to avoid being exposed, all the Japs were strictly ordered to speak without authorization and turn on the flashlights without authorization. They were almost groping forward on the road that was completely destroyed, and the speed could be imagined.
The guides who volunteered wanted to show off at first, but after walking for a while they were so tired that they were out of breath and were almost carried away by the Japanese.
The destructive ability of the guerrillas shocked the Japanese captain Hirayama Jing, and he also knew that he had encountered a terrible opponent.
If I arrive too late and wait for my opponents to complete this massive destruction project, then they may enter this area again, and the situation may be even worse.
Fortunately, they entered the area ahead of time and saw that many areas where the attack was to be carried out were not yet completed. The further they moved forward, the easier the road was, which gradually made the Japanese feel better.
What the Japanese Captain Kei Hirayama didn't know was that the pits they came to were dug and filled with horizontal ditches and water were not only used to consume their physical strength, but their main purpose was to cut off their retreat.
Now that the Japanese soldiers have high morale and sufficient supplies, they can easily break through that difficult road.
But when the Japs try to successfully withdraw to Gaoyou after a week of hard fighting due to lack of supplies, the swampy area will become a nightmare for the Japs.
Of course, the little devils don't think about such a long term now. They just feel that the road ahead is easy, and they don't have the slightest doubt.
After all, it takes physical strength to break through the attack and dig the road. Even if the guerrillas dig day and night, it is impossible to break through the main area.
The road that is getting better and better now shows that the guerrillas do not have enough ability to destroy all roads, so now they only need to advance all the way to the head of the boundary, which will surprise the guerrillas.
"Order the troops to speed up, we have wasted too much time." After walking through that difficult road, Captain Hirayama Kei's mood improved inexplicably.
Now that he has well-trained soldiers under his command, even those rabble-rousers digging roads and burning bridges can't stop him. Then what awaits the guerrillas next is their sabers. He can't wait to see the guerrillas defeated.
They killed the scene with corpses strewn all over the place.
The tired and cold Japanese soldiers also relaxed, and the most difficult part of the journey was over. The guerrillas had no means to stop their progress.
But what the Japanese didn't know was that the reason why the guerrillas did not dig roads and pour water into the fields on such a large scale in this area was because they had built fortifications.
At this moment, countless fortifications and trenches were winding around in various dark hiding places next to the road where the Japanese team was heading. However, it was too dark, and the Japanese did not bother to investigate their target a few hundred meters away from the road.
It is Jieshou Town.
The Japanese team set off again. This time the road was much easier to walk. There were almost no signs of damage on the road. Although there were many farmlands on the roadside, they no longer needed to trek through the mud and take detours.
The Japanese's morale has recovered a little bit, which is what makes the Japanese captain Hirayama Kei the most gratified.
"Da da da da..."
Just as the Japanese soldiers left the field and once again lined up in a long line on the highway to rush toward the border, a chain of fire suddenly swept out of the darkness more than a hundred meters away.
This chain of fire swept into the marching ranks of the Japanese soldiers almost without warning. The Japanese soldiers marching in line were caught off guard, and like wheat being harvested, a large area was swept away by the sudden rain of bullets.
"There are enemies, hide!"
The sudden sound of gunfire broke the silence of the night, and the Japanese troops who were marching silently on the road suddenly screamed and yelled.
Under the orders of commanders at all levels, the troops behind quickly left the road and dispersed to the roadside.
However, there were farmlands filled with water next to the road. The Japanese regretted jumping in. Unfortunately, they didn't know if there were other attacks, so they could only endure the cold and raise their rifles.
"Don't shoot and expose me!"
Japanese commanders at all levels shouted in low voices in the darkness, because the gunfire would expose their positions and kill many people.
When a Japs team was attacked, except for the dozen or so people who were taken away by a hail of bullets, the rest of the group reflexively rushed towards the direction of the shooting with their guns in hand.
But those who can hide in the dark and attack the Japanese are some elite guerrilla fighting groups. They are lone wolves.
Under Yang Ling's guidance, every time they chose an ambush location, they had already chosen their retreat route.
Moreover, they were not sloppy when attacking the Japs. After emptying a magazine, they immediately grabbed the hot machine gun and began to move along the pre-set route.
After encountering the attack, the Japanese experienced a few breaths of confusion, and bullets rained down in the direction of the guerrilla fighting group.
When the red-eyed Japanese soldiers rushed to the ambush site, the guerrilla combat team had disappeared into the darkness, and there were only some hot bullet casings on the ground.
"Bagaya road!"
The Japanese squad leader who led the team to rush forward roared angrily when he saw the bullet casings on the ground and the black night.
"Boom!"
Before the Japanese squad leader's roar could stop, there was a flash of fire and was soon drowned in the brilliant roar of explosions. It was a brother left behind by the guerrilla combat team who was hiding behind a bush of grass.
A well-laid mine.
The five or six Japs standing on the mines were knocked into all directions by the air waves of the explosion, and then fell heavily to the ground, and were blown to pieces.
"Damn it, let me let you be arrogant again."
The brothers who were hiding in the dark sneered when they saw the Japs occupying their ambush spot being blown away, and then turned around and got into the darkness, chasing after their own combat team.
"Report, eleven people were killed, three were seriously injured, and two were slightly injured..."
Soon, the casualty report was sent to the hands of the Japanese captain Hirayama Kei. Although these casualties were nothing compared to their full force of more than a thousand people, it still made Hirayama Kei's heart filled with raging anger.
.
"Have the Chinese been caught?" Hirayama Kei asked, suppressing his anger.
"The Chinese are very cunning, they escaped." The Japanese second lieutenant who reported the report also gritted his teeth with hatred. This was their shame.
They didn't even see the shadow of the guerrillas, and they actually suffered casualties of more than a small team in one go. This was unacceptable to them, who were arrogant and arrogant.
"Captain, this must be the outpost of the China Army. We should not be far from the leader." Seeing Hirayama Kei who was about to get angry, a combat staff member hurriedly said.
Although Hirayama Kei wanted to get angry, he also knew that what his staff said was right. Now was not the time to get angry. Since he had collided with the opponent's outpost, he had to rush in quickly, otherwise the opponent would be prepared and it would be difficult to fight.
Hirayama Kei suppressed the anger in his heart and ordered: "Raise vigilance and move forward at full speed."
