"Uncle Chen said yesterday that he saw Japanese and Chinese people on the mountain ridge, and they appeared in Qinglong Mountain ten miles away." The young man said.
"Is the road there difficult?" Tanaka Qinghe asked.
"It's difficult to leave." The young man nodded and added, "Besides, there are bandits there, very powerful bandits who will rob anyone."
"Bandit? Haha, Yossi, kid, I'm starting to like you." Tanaka Qinghe laughed loudly, took out a toffee from his pocket and gave it to the boy with a wide smile, "Then, now you are my great Japanese
You are the guide of the Imperial Army, and this is your reward."
"But there are bandits over there." There was still a trace of fear in the young man's eyes.
"We have defeated hundreds of thousands of your Chinese troops, so what are a few bandits? If they dare to come, I will hang them all on the trees as wind chimes." Tanaka Qinghe said with a smile.
All the Japanese soldiers around also laughed.
At this moment, a Chinese boy who was afraid of Chinese bandits made them completely forget that they were the Chinese soldiers whom they said had been beaten so badly that they wanted to travel in the mountains and did not dare to return to the battlefield.
This is the typical mentality of the weak. Only when facing weaker people do they dare to regain their original sense of superiority.
Led by a Chinese teenager who was "bought" by a candy, Tanaka's team marched into the mountains.
Although the Chinese bandits were not scary, Tanaka Qinghe still cautiously turned on the field radio to test the signal. Sure enough, the radio signal was intermittent, which fully proved the dilemma of that idiot Yuji Nagano.
Marching in the mountains is definitely not as pleasant as imagined. The roads in the mountains of China are really bad, just terrible, and the dry and cold mountain wind keeps pouring into my neck.
It can be said that the soldiers of the Tanaka Brigade scolded Yuji all the way, from Nagano Yuji's grandmother to his wife who was still at her mother-in-law's house.
Until they discovered the rut.
A very deep rut cannot be pressed out without hundreds of kilograms of weight.
Tanaka Qinghe was overjoyed when he discovered the traces of the baggage train. He immediately ordered the entire army to speed up and follow the rutted mountain road.
The lightly-armed Tanaka Brigade naturally marched much faster than the baggage team pulling tens of thousands of kilograms of baggage. In more than an hour, the 800-man infantry brigade ran wildly on the mountain road for nearly fifteen miles.
The constant occurrence of half-foot-deep ruts and several broken axles along the road convinced Tanaka Qinghe that the baggage convoy was completely stymied by the mountain roads here. The bad weather made the mountain roads, which were mainly dirt roads, too soft.
, leaving was not a big problem, but it was quite normal for a 600-kilogram carriage to get stuck. By the time they woke up, it was too late. The narrow mountain road prevented them from turning around, so they had no choice but to go down.
But that’s okay, everyone, help the baggage team push the carts, and it will be finished when they are pushed out of the mountain.
Finally, when the energy from the sumptuous breakfast was almost exhausted, they saw the familiar earthy color, thousands of meters away, the winding and rugged mountain roads surrounding the mountain covered by lush woods above their heads.
On the road, a group of hundreds of people escorting a large cart was struggling to move forward.
Besides Nagano Yuji’s baggage train, who else could it be?
The soldiers of the Tanaka Brigade had tears in their eyes, not out of excitement, but out of pure anger.
Bagaya Road, these bastards enjoy themselves so much. It took us half a day to walk, but those bastards actually spent a whole day and night. Are they here to see the Chinese scenery?
Even a distance of nearly a thousand meters could not stop the collective shouting of hundreds of Japanese soldiers. This of course violated the combat regulations in the Japanese soldier's manual. If there was an enemy, this would completely expose oneself.
But, will there be enemies here? Of course not! Tanaka Qinghe even hoped that Chinese bandits would appear. He demonstrated to the Chinese child who seriously told himself that bandits were scary, how powerful the Imperial Army of Japan was.
. A few mere thieves, he might just send a small team, no, a small team, and kill them and hang them on the tree as wind chimes.
But, what about the Chinese kid? Tanaka Qinghe searched around the team, but couldn't find the kid who had been leading the way honestly just now. He actually slipped away when he saw the soldiers in the baggage corps shouting excitedly.
gone.
"Damn, cunning Chinese." Tanaka Qinghe pressed the handle of the command knife angrily.
He swore that if he returned from the mountain by the original route, he would burn that small village to the ground. This was the price the despicable Chinese paid for not accepting the mercy of the Japanese Empire.
However, the escape of the Chinese child did not arouse Tanaka Qinghe's vigilance. This is also a reasonable thing. Those who lead the enemy's army and don't want to run are fools! However, Tanaka Qinghe did not expect that the Chinese child was quite courageous.
, chose such an opportunity to escape.
In fact, it won't take long for Tanaka Qinghe to find in despair that Chinese children are much more courageous than he imagined. His acting skills can definitely compete for the Little Golden Man on the other side of the ocean.
However, Major Tanaka never had the chance to tell his compatriots that the Chinese were all cunning and cunning.
Now, Tanaka Qinghe, like the soldiers under his command, all his attention was attracted by the sudden appearance of the baggage train, and he did not care to study more about a Chinese child who had escaped. The way back was not that complicated.
If he orders a large-scale search now, he will definitely see those bright eyes that once held fear and hatred but are now full of excitement in a cave completely covered by grass not far from the mountain road.
The prey was gradually jumping into the pit. As the most important part of the hunting team, it was difficult for Yao Shisan not to be excited.
The Tanaka Brigade gave up their last hope. If they could recapture the Chinese child, they would find that the Chinese bandits disguised as one of their own would rather give up their prey than save their own.
The "baggage train" thousands of meters away also discovered the Tanaka Brigade here, and the team stopped. The weak Japanese cheers and the cheers of a large number of Chinese people did not leave any doubts in the Tanaka Brigade.
The baggage brigade was composed of Nagano Yuji's infantry squadron and a battalion of the Fengtian Independent Brigade. It was logical that there would be much more Chinese.
There is nothing wrong with all of this.
Stupid Yuuji Nagano must have his ass kicked. Tanaka Qinghe was happy but also a little angry. This mountain road was too difficult to walk, and the big leather boots on his feet were so heavy that it was impossible to lift them up.
Indeed, the leather boots issued by the Kwantung Army were thick and warm, and also had great advantages on the battlefield. They could protect the feet of soldiers very well when faced with broken iron nails and the like.
However, in the mountains, they become a big burden. Don’t you believe that you can wear big leather boots to climb mountains? Especially when there is a piece of iron at the bottom of the leather boots.
Twenty years later, the American cowboys were wearing these big leather boots. They were chased all over the mountain by red soldiers wearing liberation shoes on the mountainous area north of the Yalu River. Moreover, they could not run away. I guess even if the lightning came in Jamaica, they would not be able to escape.
Very useful.
What the "baggage team" on the opposite side was most concerned about was not whether the fish would completely bite the bait and reach the ideal burial place. In fact, from the moment they entered the mountain, they had already entered a dead end.
Now, Chen Yunfa's subordinates are not all rookies like before. Not only have the rookies learned to flap their wings, he also has a 40-man fully armed infantry platoon. Four MG42 machine guns can shoot down small undefended areas on the mountain road.
The Japanese have shot up Xiang, not to mention two mountain cannons and two mortars.
What they were most worried about was the Chinese children whom Major Tanaka no longer cared about.
