Major Zhuye stood at the entrance of the mine, looking at the fireworks feast in front of him, his face dumbfounded!
He didn't react until all the explosions stopped, and then he cursed with a sullen face: "Bagh Ya Road, who can tell me what happened in the mine just now and what the explosion was about!"
"The enemy obviously only fired two rounds of six shells. Why are there so many explosions in the mine, and the explosions are more violent than the explosions of heavy artillery shells!"
The squadron leader and the Imperial Alliance Army standing nearby were still immersed in shock. They looked at the mine that had turned into a sea of fire in front of them with dumbfounded expressions. They did not react for a long time, let alone answer!
And even if they answer, they are standing nearby and have not entered the coal mine, so they definitely don’t know!!
It wasn't until a second lieutenant whose whole body was burned black and whose military uniform was in tatters escaped from the mine that the questions in Major Zhuye's mind were solved, and then a complex expression of fear and anger appeared on his face!
The Chinese army that attacked the coal mine was so cunning that they actually thought of such a cruel trick to deal with the imperial army!
It's burning again and it's blowing up with dynamite!
Although the troops have not yet counted casualties, and soldiers are constantly rushing out of the sea of fire in the mine, Major Zhuye is not optimistic at all!
The Chinese army is so well prepared. All kinds of explosions are mixed together to prepare this fireworks feast for themselves. Even if anyone can survive, there will only be a handful of them!
I am still angry, but I am also a little lucky in my heart. Fortunately, I did not enter the mine, otherwise I would be dead now!
At this time, the captain of the third squadron rushed over with a worried and thankful expression!
He was also glad that it was the Second Squadron that entered the mine just now to search and not himself, otherwise he would be the one who was burned to death in the fire now!
Seeing Major Zhuye, he hurriedly reported: "Sir, the enemy is too cunning. We must find them, kill them, cut them into pieces, and avenge the imperial soldiers who died in the mine. They died really well."
It’s so miserable!”
"We found three traces of the enemy's retreat around the mine. There appear to be hundreds of people on each route. Do you want the troops to pursue them immediately? Please give me an order, sir!"
"Chase now!"
Major Zhuye ordered with a stern face and an angry expression of gritted teeth!
"This Chinese army is so ruthless. It can kill so many of our imperial troops with a fire or an explosion. I must kill them personally and cut them into pieces!"
"The fire in the mine will definitely not be extinguished in a short time. A small team is left behind to deal with the aftermath and treat the wounded, while the others follow me to chase the retreating Chinese army!"
"They have brought nearly a thousand workers with them, so they can't move fast! As long as we pursue them, we will definitely be able to catch up with them!"
"How to pursue?" the squadron leader asked immediately!
"We found a total of three traces left by the enemy's retreat!"
Major Zhuye frowned and asked: "In which direction is the enemy who just attacked us and fired at us!"
"East!" the squadron leader replied immediately.
"Then the main force will follow me to the east, draw two squads, and the two platoons of the Imperial Association Army will pursue in the other two directions!" Major Zhuye made the decision with a serious look on his face.
"The Chinese army equipped with mortars must be the main force. As long as we kill them, it will be easy to find those absentees!"
On the hilltop a few hundred meters away, Li Hao and his troops had just retreated when the Japanese counterattack artillery shells fell from the sky!
Then the second assault group from behind rushed over: "Captain, the Japanese and puppet troops are chasing us. The total strength is about 400 people, including more than 100 puppet troops and more than 200 Japanese soldiers, with mortars.
And heavy machine guns!”
"Confirm that they only have 400 people and no follow-up troops!" Li Hao asked, staring at the leader of the second group!
"I'm sure!" replied the leader of the second assault team!
"The Japanese reinforcements are gone. More than 300 people were killed in the mine. Dozens of people were left to deal with the aftermath. Two hundred people were divided to chase the other two groups of absentees. Only four hundred people were left to chase us and huddle together.
Enter the woods!"
"Captain, this is fat meat that is brought to your mouth. If you don't eat it, you won't eat it!" Li Hao looked serious, but before he could speak, Xiao Yuan couldn't help shouting, his eyes shining!
Investigation company commander Chen Wei also showed an expression of eagerness to give it a try and quickly called for a battle.
"When they blocked the attack just now, there were so many of them that the reconnaissance company was constantly being suppressed and lost a lot of people!"
"Now there are only 400 of them left, and they are following us into the forest, just in time to avenge those soldiers who died!"
"beat!"
This time Li Hao was not impulsive and thought for a long time before making up his mind.
After thinking for a few more seconds, a complete combat plan appeared in his mind, and he began to issue orders.
"But instead of fighting here, we will take them to the northeast and lure all the Japs' suspected targets there. Let them kill them without thinking that the mine was taken over by our independent group. This is called making a fortune in silence.
!”
"Besides, since we are going to fight, we will wipe them all out. Kill all the little devils until there is one left. The puppet soldiers will capture them if they can!"
"They brought a lot of light and heavy weapons into the mountains, I want them all!"
"But our troops are limited, and we don't have many people to carry them back if we capture them, and those puppet soldiers are the best choice to carry their guns."
Although the traces left by the troops marching on the road have been processed, there are still some that cannot be erased, and then they were discovered by the reconnaissance team in the hands of Major Zhuye!
Under this situation, Major Zhuye became more and more certain that what he was chasing must be the main force of the Chinese army, because only the troops would be so cautious and deliberately erase the traces left during the march to avoid exposing themselves to the target!
But the fact is exactly the opposite. These indelible traces were deliberately left by the commando team. The purpose was to keep him deep in the woods northeast of the mine and find the best battlefield to surround them!
"Sir, we have been chasing for almost five kilometers and we haven't found the Chinese army yet. Are we following the wrong direction?" Seeing the woods around him getting denser and denser, the squadron leader always felt that something was wrong and hesitated for a moment.
Reminder!
Major Zhuye doesn’t see it that way!
In his eyes, it would be abnormal if he could catch up with his opponent so easily!
This opponent was able to capture the coal mine in such a short period of time, and also knew how to erase the traces when retreating. This proves that the opponent is an elite force!
Since they are elites, it will definitely take a lot of effort to catch up with them!
He shook his head and answered firmly: "We have to trust the investigation team and their judgment!"
As soon as he finished speaking, an investigator panted heavily, but his face was very excited, and he hurried over!
"Sir, we found a bag of grain on the road, totaling twenty kilograms!"
"It must have been lost by the Chinese army!" Major Zhuye was even more sure of his judgment just now and answered with excitement!
"In order to speed up their march, they could only drop some unnecessary weight!"
"They are definitely reluctant to throw away weapons and ammunition, so they can only choose to throw away the grain seized from the coal mine!"
"It seems that our choice is right, the Chinese army is right in front of us!"
"The troops continue to march faster, and they will definitely encounter more things dropped by the enemy in front of them!"
Major Zhuye's judgment was correct. The troops walked less than two kilometers and picked up seven or eight identical grain bags. They also found a box of bullets covered with leaves!
"Even the ammunition was given up. It can be seen that this unit spent a lot of energy when attacking the coal mine and was seriously exhausted when retreating!" Major Zhuye became even more excited and made a judgment with excitement!
"Warriors, if my judgment is correct, the enemy is in front of us, and it is also a tired army!"
"I ordered the troops to continue to speed up and try to catch up with them within an hour, and then directly launch a surprise attack to kill them and avenge the warriors who died in the battle!"
