Looking at the thousands of small red flags in this area, turning around and still not being able to see the end, the engineer team leader had a headache. He couldn't be so boring and just put up a fake mine array, right?
About half an hour later, the engineer who ran back reported, "Captain, there is no minefield!"
"Nani? The Chinese just gave it a lie? It's not like their style!" The engineer team leader frowned, "Are you sure?"
"Hey, the detectors are not responding in all suspected minefield areas!"
"I understand, you are on standby, I will report to the captain!"
"Hi!"
So, the engineer squad leader ran up to the Japanese colonel and said, "Your Excellency, commander, the minefield ahead is fake!"
"Fake?" The Japanese commander's face darkened, "Are you sure?"
"Hi! There is no metal reaction at all under these thousands of red flags. Moreover, we have dug hundreds of spots and found nothing!" the engineer team leader said. After working hard for so long, a fake minefield was created.
It also made them very unhappy.
At this moment, the Major next to him said, "Captain, did the Chinese deliberately lay a fake minefield in order to delay the progress of our pursuit?"
The Japanese colonel heard this and nodded, "It's very possible, keep moving forward!"
"Hi!"
So, the convoy continued to move forward.
Speaking of which, the Japanese obtained a large amount of supplies in Yangon, including hundreds of unequipped trucks and a large amount of oil.
Therefore, in the past two days, the Japanese have also used trucks, and basically all of them have been mechanized.
Myanmar has been under British colonization for a long time, and there are still some roads that should be there. Although there are no roads built, it does not affect the driving of cars.
The convoy rolled over the so-called minefield without incident and then turned left.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
Suddenly, a series of explosions sounded.
The first car had been blown over and entered the river on the left. It took a car of soldiers down directly.
Several cars behind him met the same fate before they even had time to apply the brakes.
Finally, after several cars were overturned, all the cars behind them also stopped, blocking the road in a straight line.
Unfortunately, the Japanese colonel, who was the captain of the regiment, was also flipped into the river in the second vehicle. Fortunately, Myanmar was in the dry season in March, so the river was not deep, and one could even cross it on foot.
Otherwise, this group of Japanese soldiers would probably be drowned directly in the river.
Before the Japanese army could react, artillery fire rang out.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
Artillery shells began to fall among the Japanese convoy.
The Japanese hurriedly ran out of the car and began to defend themselves on the spot.
This terrain is very unfavorable for them.
The Japanese commander came up from the water, "Ya Lu! Is this what you said about no minefields? Baga!"
"Captain, take cover!" A major commander knocked down the Japanese colonel and made the Japanese colonel face the river.
A shell fell into the river, causing a large splash of water and taking away several Japanese soldiers who had just climbed out of the car.
The Japanese army's reaction was very fast, except that it was a little slow at the beginning. Once they reacted, they began to hide everywhere.
Even the artillery shells did not cause much loss to the Japanese army.
How many Japanese troops are there in a regiment? At least three to four thousand.
Moreover, what is coming now is just the vanguard.
However, Dai Anlan chose the location very well. Once blocked here, the convoy behind would be unable to pass. And to reach Tonggu, they must pass through here.
"Master, the Japanese are already in chaos."
Dai Anlan nodded, "Let the soldiers throw all the grenades at me!"
"yes!"
After stopping the Japanese here, Dai Anlan had no intention of fighting with the Japanese. He completely inherited the essence of what Zhou Weiguo said, but he just wanted to make the Japanese look bad and reduce their numbers. In this way, the subsequent response would be easier.
Immediately afterwards, amid the sound of artillery shells, thousands of grenades fell densely from the side of the mountain.
"Nani!"
"hidden!"
"Hurry and take cover!"
The Japanese soldiers kept shouting and ran towards the river.
However, among the thousands of Japanese soldiers, some will still fall behind.
As the grenade explodes, "Boom!"
There were dense explosions, and Japanese soldiers fell down on the road.
But this is not the only batch of grenades.
Each soldier has at least 3 grenades.
Immediately afterwards, there was another bombing.
Before the third wave of bombardment had stopped, the road below was already full of potholes, with many Japanese soldiers lying on the ground. Some vehicles were also damaged.
All in all, it was a mess.
At the same time, the national soldiers with free hands began to shoot downwards!
"Da da da!"
"take!"
"boom!"
There was a burst of gunfire!
The Japanese army couldn't evade, and some of them fell down!
The Chinese soldiers on the mountain felt happy when they saw the Japanese army in such a mess.
The British soldiers following behind saw such a situation for the first time and realized that there was such a way to fight the Japanese. For a moment, they looked at each other and were embarrassed to speak.
"Master! The Japs are coming! The troops behind are less than 15 miles away from here!"
Dai Anlan glanced at it and said, "Withdraw!"
"yes!"
In this ambush, except for the artillery unit, which fired a few shots and took some time to plant flags and lay mines, the other soldiers were able to escape almost immediately.
Although the casualties caused to the Japanese were not very large, Dai Anlan roughly estimated that there should be 1,000 people.
Of course, this is just the first ambush.
Moreover, they have arrived at Tonggu immediately. In fact, they have already sent a group of vanguards to Tonggu to build positions and arrange defenses. Those who stayed behind are just for the sake of the devils.
Dai Anlan got on the horse and was in a good mood, "Report to the headquarters and say that we encountered the Japanese army on the way to Tonggu and injured more than a thousand enemies. At the same time, forward this telegram to General Zhou Weiguo!"
"yes!"
The relationship between Zhou Weiguo and Dai Anlan is that they have already left each other's contact information.
Now, even Dai Anlan had to admire Zhou Weiguo's vision. Although he was thousands of miles away, he could give them advice and directly cause casualties to the Japanese army.
You know, the Japanese army's strength in Burma is only that small. Kill more Japanese, and then their pressure will be reduced. If such opportunities come a few more times...
Dai Anlan sighed, feeling a little greedy.
In fact, if Zhou Weiguo were here, with the equipment of the independent division, he would directly fight the Japanese here.
"Master, this style of fighting always feels very similar to the fighting style of the Communist Army!" Gao Jiren said, "However, the effect is indeed good."
Dai Anlan nodded, "This style of play, combined with the favorable geographical location, is indeed suitable for defeating more with less. Unfortunately, the Japanese reinforcements have arrived, otherwise the Japanese army would not be able to capture them all."
"Yeah. It's a pity that there seems to be no suitable ambush location in the upcoming terrain." The Gaoji sighed.
"It's okay. When the Japs come, we'll stay on guard as before." Dai Anlan smiled and rode forward.
