For the Japanese Kwantung Army, this time was a good opportunity to seize Zhou Weiguo. There is no doubt that this terrain is indeed very troublesome.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, the Heili River Forest Area is a virgin forest, and there are many dangers in the forest." A Japanese major general spread out the map, "I believe that the independent division must not have gone deep enough."
"so?"
"I think if we are not in a hurry, we can actually surround them with a large army and they will starve to death."
"But now, we are in a hurry."
"Hi! So, we must take the initiative now. I would like to suggest that we explore the terrain first."
"Terrain?" The Japanese Lieutenant General frowned, "But the Commander ordered us to capture Zhou Weiguo as soon as possible, regardless of life or death."
"Hey, even so, we can't ignore the casualties of the warriors." The Japanese Major General replied, "What's more, if we advance rashly, we may not even be able to catch Zhou Weiguo."
"you sure?"
"Hi!"
"Then tell Shiroda-kun to hold his troops still for now and talk about it tomorrow. However, the blockade must be constructed immediately."
"Hi!"
"Tell your Excellency, Commander, that we have arrived at the Heili River area and are building a blockade defense line."
"Hi!"
…
Umezu Yoshijiro received the news and nodded with satisfaction. He knew that that area was a deep mountainous forest. He was also a little surprised that Zhou Weiguo chose such a place. After all, that area was sparsely populated and a virgin forest.
But not many people dare to go. In his opinion, if Zhou Weiguo dares to go, he either has full confidence or is prepared to die.
Of course, if the Black Dragon Society hadn't happened to discover this plan, maybe he would have really suffered a big fall in the hands of Zhou Weiguo.
"Hahahaha!" Thinking of this, Umezu Yoshijiro laughed, "Zhou Weiguo, I will see you soon! Even if you are just a corpse by then. Hahahaha!"
Yoshimoto Zhenyi frowned. Although he had also received the news, he did not think that Zhou Weiguo could be caught by them so easily. The terrain was a big influencing factor.
He didn't think that Zhou Weiguo would be so stable. If they didn't scatter their two divisions, Zhou Weiguo wouldn't be fooled.
Shaking his head and looking at the current Umezu Mijiro, Yoshimoto Teiichi felt that he had lost his cool. Also, it took him several days of thinking to guess the plan of the independent division, and then it was confirmed that no matter how he looked at it, they were sure of victory.
Walking out of the office, Yoshimoto Teiichi felt that there must be a calm person between him and Umezu Mijiro, and now that Umezu Mijiro is not this person, he can only do it.
Afterwards, he still asked his men to send a telegram to the other side, and they must be careful. Be careful what the people of the Independent Division do by using the terrain. Not to mention, they don't even know how many people in the Independent Division have infiltrated.
At the same time, they must find out how many people have sneaked in from the independent division!
…
Zhou Weiguo led his men back all the way, deep into the forest area.
For him, this primeval forest is actually not a big problem. After all, it is a primeval forest in the north, not in the south.
The most important thing is that the forest area here is close to 30,000 hectares. One hectare is 10,000 square meters. Here, there is a forest area of 30 million square meters! It is still difficult for the Japanese to catch them.
Not to mention, the terrain in this forest area is beautiful and rich. With two thousand people and sufficient supplies, it is not a big problem to fight the Japanese and slowly walk in a hanging position.
"Brother, the Japanese really didn't come after them!" Liu Zhihui touched his chin, "Are we going to seduce him?"
"No, let everyone have a good rest tonight. The Japs will definitely come tomorrow." Zhou Weiguo shook his head helplessly. The group under him was not a peaceful group at all.
The next day, when the sky was dark and bright, Zhou Weiguo took a look at his watch. It was only after 5 o'clock. It was late at night and the dew was heavy. That's about it. The ground felt wet. It didn't rain, it was dew.
"Brother, did you wake up so early?" Liu Zhihui also walked out of the tent.
"It's almost time. I woke up early and started preparing breakfast! Because the handsome man has already gotten up." Zhou Weiguo joked.
"Japanese, it should be almost done, right?"
"Yes." Zhou Weiguo nodded, "It's time for the Japs to attack. They didn't sleep well last night either."
…
East of forest area
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, warriors, are ready!"
"Yoshi, let's go immediately!"
"Hi!"
Several groups of Japanese troops began to march toward the forest area with high spirits.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, this direction must be the direction from which the Independent Division went up the mountain. The footprints and dead branches on the ground have all been stepped on recently." The Japanese Major General looked at the nearby traces.
"Yoshi, move forward!"
"Hi!"
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, a cave was found ahead!" A senior officer ran over and reported, "I found traces of someone living there!"
"Yo Xi, come to think of it, the independent division must not be far from us!"
"Hi!"
"Let the warriors pay more attention to the direction of the independent division's retreat and pay more attention to the traces under their feet!"
"Hi!"
Suddenly, there was a loud noise.
"boom!"
"Boom!"
An earthquake shakes the mountains.
What followed were countless wails and screams.
"Nani? What happened?" The Japanese lieutenant general held on to the trunk of a tree and looked at the smoke and dust in front of him. He had a bad premonition in his heart, "Is it an explosion?"
"seems like it."
Everyone was stunned by the explosion. Fortunately, the top brass like the Japs were on the outside. Otherwise, they would have definitely been hit.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, what should we do now?"
"Rescue the wounded! Hurry!"
The Japanese troops who had just entered the mountain were completely bombarded by the bombs left by Zhou Weiguo. There were also many stones piled next to the bombs, and now they have become weapons that can injure the Japanese troops.
…
"Oh, the devil has received a gift." The huge explosion was heard even from Zhou Weiguo's side, "Haha."
"It's true." Liu Zhihui nodded, "I wonder how many Japanese can be hurt?"
"No matter how many there are, first leave an impression on the Japanese that we are not to be trifled with. Then, they will slow down and start to be more cautious." Zhou Weiguo shook his head, "Of course, I also hope to do my best.
Maybe just kill as many Japanese as you can."
"hey-hey."
"Not to mention, the traps we set along the way, in such a big place, can kill them all." Zhou Weiguo narrowed his eyes, "Just wait, we will have to hear the noise in a while."
"Right."
…
"Yalu! Yalu!" The Japanese Lieutenant General looked at these injured Japanese soldiers, and his whole body became angry. He thought that he must be his opponent in the pot, and he actually set up such a trick for himself, causing hundreds of casualties to them!
