The Milky Way is Also a Grain of Sand

Chapter 503 The Failure of the Devil's Special Forces Tactics

The soldiers of the Shi Yi Regiment were not like those of the Special Operations Brigade, for whom killing thousands of Japanese devils was commonplace. For the Sixty-sixth Army, killing even one Japanese devil was a major event.

Not to mention that this time a single platoon had killed thirteen Japanese devils. Platoon Leader Xie ordered the twenty-six soldiers to carry the bodies and weapons back to report the good news to the regimental commander.

He himself led the remaining soldiers to move the ambush position slightly forward, as the original location was no longer suitable.

It had been marked by the bombing, and the Japanese devils would easily notice something amiss.

Platoon Leader Xie and his men were the first to engage the Japanese devils on the Jiantou Ridge battlefield. Regiment Commander Shi was overjoyed to receive this good news and immediately reported the situation to Lin Fan.

Then he reported to Army Commander Ye Zhao, and this good news also pleased Army Commander Ye greatly. He encouraged Regiment Commander Shi to continue his efforts and kill more Japanese devils.

The fighting in this direction on October 5th gave Commander-in-Chief Okamura Neiji a major headache. Whether it was the fighting in the Wanjialing mountainous area or the fighting in the Mahui Ridge area, none of it pleased him.

The situation in the Wanjialing mountainous area was becoming increasingly severe. The sudden intensity of the Chinese army's artillery fire surprised the entire Eleventh Army headquarters.

As for the blow suffered by the Botian Chongyi Detachment, the Japanese devils at the Eleventh Army headquarters did not consider it a big deal.

That night, the Japanese Eleventh Army headquarters had a sleepless night, pondering how to advise the Japanese devils in the Wanjialing mountainous area.

They already knew that Detachment Leader Botian Chongyi had broken up the Japanese devils of the First Infantry Regiment and sent them to infiltrate behind the Chinese army to carry out sabotage.

Those various detachments that had been sent out were now resting by the fire in the mountains and forests. The Second Infantry Regiment of the Botian Chongyi Detachment did not rest either, and they were setting out at night according to the detachment leader's orders.

They were marching rapidly towards Chenjiashan, intending to infiltrate the Chinese army's front line before dawn and wait for the small detachments that had infiltrated behind the Chinese army's defense line to send a signal.

That night, the Second War Area headquarters of the Chinese army was also brightly lit. Xue Yue was very satisfied with the combat situation during the day.

Seeing that the encirclement on the map had shrunk again, he ordered the offensive against the Japanese devils to continue on the 6th. All the forces that the Second War Area could deploy were now in place.

Whether or not this battle could be won depended on the performance of the soldiers on the battlefield. Sometimes he thought: if there could be another team like the Special Operations Brigade, this battle would be much easier.

In private, he had already inquired with his friends in Wuhan whether two more regiments of the Special Operations Brigade stationed in Jurong or Jiangbei could be transferred over.

The higher-ups of the Chinese army were well aware that the combat troops under Lin Fan had long exceeded thirty regiments, although some regiments had only 1,500 men, but it was said that there were also regiments with 5,000 men.

This was because the Special Operations Brigade had only the establishment of a brigade, and the various regiments under them could only add manpower. Xue Yue actually wanted to learn from Li Zhongren and raise the establishment of the Special Operations Brigade to a Special Operations Division.

This time, Chiang Kai-shek did not agree. To this day, Chiang Kai-shek sometimes regrets that he initially believed Li Zhongren's words and gave Lin Fan the empty military rank of brigade commander.

Giving Lin Fan an empty military rank of brigade commander allowed him to create a team of hundreds of thousands of people. If he was given the establishment of a division, would he be able to create a million-strong army?

Chiang Kai-shek would not make such a mistake again. It was impossible for Lin Fan to become a division commander, it would never be possible.

Commander Xue, unable to raise the establishment of the Special Operations Brigade, was also unable to reward the soldiers of the Special Operations Brigade. He could only order the quartermaster to ensure a supply of half a jin of fresh meat per person per day for the Special Operations Brigade, no matter what.

The quartermaster said helplessly, "They are asking for 5,000 jin of meat per day, but they are willing to pay for it."

Seeing the commander's puzzled expression, the quartermaster quickly reported, "The Special Operations Brigade emphasizes equality between officers and soldiers, so the pork that is specially sent to the front line is also distributed to the two regiments and the transportation team of the Sixty-sixth Army. All the teams eat the same, and the Second Heavy Artillery Regiment is the same now."

Xue Yue said, "Just follow the supplies they require, don't collect the money! I know the Special Operations Brigade has money, but even the emperor doesn't starve his soldiers.

It's their business that they have money. The Special Operations Brigade killed so many Japanese devils and seized so many supplies, but the Second War Area accepted them all without even a commendation order from above.

This is all the Second War Area can do. They like to eat meat, so let's guarantee the supply of meat!"

"But! Commander! We haven't even eaten enough ourselves yet?" the quartermaster reminded him.

"If they can fight as well as the Special Operations Brigade, seize so many supplies from Mahui Ridge Station, and fight the Japanese devils without any rewards, I can also guarantee the supply of pork," Xue Yue said loudly.

"They can't fight as well as others, but when it comes to eating meat, they stare at others."

The quartermaster smiled and walked out, he was just following the orders of the commander. He still admired the people in the Special Operations Brigade very much, using their own money to support the soldiers of the Second War Area.

However, those soldiers of the Second War Area who ate and took from them, would be beholden to them. If the two sides really had to face each other in the future, who knew what would happen.

Those soldiers who had eaten and taken from them would probably not point their guns at the Special Operations Brigade again!

That night, the twenty-four reconnaissance platoons sent out by the Special Operations Brigade did not return to their station. They were also resting in the mountains and forests. Although Lin Fan could not train the entire Special Operations Brigade into a special operations force,

He had still done some basic special operations training for the reconnaissance platoons of each company. At least now the platoon leaders of each reconnaissance platoon knew that "under normal circumstances, fires should not be lit at night. Even in special circumstances, fires should be lit in caves or hidden locations, and sentries should be posted at least 500 meters away."

The reconnaissance platoon of the Fifth Company of the Second Regiment had not made any gains since wiping out two small detachments of Japanese devils in the afternoon.

In the evening, Platoon Leader Yan Haosi led the team to find a leeward place on the hillside early to prepare for rest. The soldiers all made do with dry food and canned food.

After Platoon Leader Yan Haosi arranged for the sentries, he had not even sat down when Zou Pengxing ran back to report, "Platoon Leader! We saw a light in the distance!"

A light! That meant there were people! His own team had all learned from the same mold and would definitely not light a fire at night.

Then it could only be civilians or Japanese devils lighting a fire! The Special Operations Brigade had been active in this area for four days and had not seen a single ordinary civilian.

"It's Japanese devils!" Platoon Leader Yan immediately became excited. All the soldiers in the entire platoon had not yet gone to sleep and had all heard Zou Pengxing's words.

Now, listening to the platoon leader's analysis, everyone thought it made sense. Platoon Leader Yan immediately announced the discovery through the walkie-talkie.

He quickly received a reply, "No other reconnaissance platoons nearby are lighting fires." After hearing the situation report, someone immediately climbed to a high place to observe and found two more locations with lights.

Everyone became happy. They had found a good way to find Japanese devils at night! To prevent two platoons from attacking the same team of Japanese devils and causing friendly fire,

They also unified the password for tonight: Eliminate! Roast Chicken! As soon as this password was issued, all the platoon leaders laughed. There was no way the Japanese devils could guess such a password.

Platoon Leader Yan led the entire reconnaissance platoon to Zou Pengxing's sentry post and indeed found a light in the distance. According to the distance of the distant mountain peak during the day, the Japanese devils should be between two and three kilometers away.

"Let's go! Let's go kill Japanese devils!" Platoon Leader Yan immediately ordered. It was night, the light was originally dim, and they were in the jungle, so it was even darker.

The soldiers did not dare to take the existing trails, fearing that Japanese devils would ambush them on the road. Platoon Leader Yan led the fifty soldiers of the reconnaissance platoon and divided the entire platoon into three parts.

Ten soldiers were sent to the front to scout the way, two squads followed in the middle, and ten soldiers guarded the rear. The night was still long, they were not in a hurry.

In this situation, the Japanese devils were in the open and they were in the dark. As long as they were careful, they could slowly approach them, anyway, it was night, and there was no way the Japanese devils could think of moving.

Corporal Kamasawa Yohei and his thirteen Japanese devils had been wandering in the mountains for an afternoon and had not seen a single person. But when they rested by the stream, Sergeant Kinugasa Yasu and Sergeant Kamizato Naoe caught a lot of fish.

The Japanese devils of the entire squad were all happy. Anyway, the infiltration mission had to be completed, and dinner had to be eaten. They specially started hunting and actually managed to kill a pheasant and a rabbit.

With these gains, the Japanese devils of the Kamasawa Yohei Squad found a flat, leeward location after dark, and the Japanese devils of the entire squad became busy.

Some were finding firewood, some were cleaning the chicken, fish, and rabbit by the stream, and some were starting to build a stove.

Seeing that the ten or so Japanese devils of the entire squad were all excited, Squad Leader Kamasawa Yohei was still very satisfied. During this day, they had been scared to death in the morning, and these Japanese devils had all survived the fierce artillery bombardment by chance.

In the afternoon, they had wandered in the mountains and forests. At this time, the Japanese devils under him were still able to have such enthusiasm, perhaps their morale had all recovered.

This was the most gratifying thing, at least the entire squad was no longer as distraught as they had been when they had first entered the mountainous area.

Sergeant Kinugasa Yasu led three Japanese devils to the stream to clean the prey. He said with a smile, "These days are really good!

It's like camping in the countryside back home." He was a collateral descendant of a large family and had been rich when he was a child.

He could still remember the life at home when his father was still alive. At that time, he lived in a big house and had servants following him when he went out.

After his father died, the power was taken back by the family, and the benefits were gone with it. This war was difficult, and in order to show their solidarity with the country, the family sent these collateral descendants to fight.

At this time, he thought of camping. Although Sergeant Kamizato Naoe had not been rich, he also liked the freedom and tranquility of this time very much.

As a squad acting alone, the rules that were usually imposed on them seemed to disappear all at once.

Sergeant Kamizato Naoe also said with a smile, "This night is really wonderful!" The Japanese devils were all in a very good mood.

They washed the prey, put it in steel helmets, and then several Japanese devils came to the stream, filled their steel helmets with water, and returned together.

In Squad Leader Kamasawa Yohei's opinion, there was no need to send out sentries in a place where they had not seen a single person all afternoon, as that would affect the Japanese devils' mood.

These Japanese devils specially gathered around the campfire, hung up several steel helmets to boil water, some of the fish were used to make soup, some were used to make grilled fish, and the chicken and rabbit were also like this. The fleshy parts were sliced off for grilling, and the bones were thrown into the steel helmets to make soup.

Thirteen Japanese devils sat around together, talking enthusiastically. The squad leader was the lowest-ranking officer in the Japanese devil army.

At this time, Squad Leader Kamasawa Yohei completely mixed with these Japanese devils, which made the atmosphere even more lively.

Squad Leader Kamasawa Yohei even used steel helmets as musical instruments for accompaniment and performed a sword dance.

Sergeant Kinugasa Yasu imitated a geisha and performed a dance, which made the Japanese devils of the entire squad very happy.

These Japanese devils ate barbecue while singing and dancing, they really treated this night as a camping trip.

When Platoon Leader Yan Haosi led the team to this place, the Japanese devils were in a very lively mood. Their weapons were all racked less than five meters away from the campfire.

The campfire was very bright, and from a hundred meters away, they could clearly see the expression on each Japanese devil's face, hear their laughter, and of course, see the weapons racked to one side.

Platoon Leader Yan pointed to the weapons and said, "Let's divide into three groups and surround this group of Japanese devils. The first squad will rush out and grab those weapons.

Once these Japanese devils are without weapons, they are doomed. The purpose of surrounding them is just to prevent them from running away.

On such a dark night, if the Japanese devils run into the jungle and find a place to hide, we will never find them again. This time, we will use the sound of crickets as a signal. Call out once when you are in position, and call out three times when you act. Do you understand?"

"Understood!" the three squad leaders replied in a low voice. Although they were still hundreds of meters away from the Japanese devils' campfire, the sound traveled far in the silent night!

The Japanese devils' laughter and voices could all be heard clearly.

"Action!" Seeing that each squad understood the task, Platoon Leader Yan immediately ordered.

The soldiers of the three squads immediately surrounded the campfire. Although it was night, the other two squads that were going to flank the Japanese devils still went around in a big circle.

The sound of crickets rang out. One squad was in position, two squads were in position, and all three squads were in position. Platoon Leader Yan imitated three cricket calls.

As soon as the calls rang out, dozens of soldiers suddenly rushed out. The soldiers of the first squad rushed to the place where the Japanese devils' rifles were racked in a few steps. Two soldiers guarded the weapons, and the remaining soldiers continued to rush towards the Japanese devils.

The position where the reconnaissance platoon rushed out was right next to the Japanese devils. The Special Operations Brigade soldiers who suddenly rushed out stunned the Japanese devils of the Kamasawa Yohei Squad.

They stared blankly at the rushing soldiers, looking at the bright bayonets in front of the rifles, at a loss.

Sergeant Kinugasa Yasu, who was wearing clothes and still performing in the flowing gauze that was pretending to be a geisha, stared blankly at Zou Pengxing rushing towards him, standing there in a daze.

It was not until the bayonet in Zou Pengxing's hand pierced his throat that he reached out to grab the bayonet, trying to struggle.

Fifty reconnaissance platoon soldiers dealt with thirteen unarmed Japanese devils, and the entire battle was over almost in the blink of an eye.

From the time the reconnaissance platoon soldiers rushed out to the end of the battle, it took less than a minute.

Platoon Leader Yan ordered, "The first and second squads will set up guard on both sides of the mountain, and the third squad will put out the fire. Clean up the battlefield and prepare to retreat."

The third squad leader looked at the steel helmet still hanging on the campfire and the chicken soup inside and asked for instructions, "Platoon Leader, can we take away this chicken soup?"

"Take it!" Platoon Leader Yan did not hesitate.

The soldiers pulled the firewood out of the campfire and stuck it into the soil. Soon, only the embers were still glowing in the campfire. After a few more handfuls of soil were piled on top, there was soon no longer a spark to be seen.

At this time, the remaining soldiers of the third squad had already searched all the Japanese devils' weapons, ammunition, and belongings.

Platoon Leader Yan imitated a few cricket calls, calling the first and second squads to retreat from the battlefield. They left this location a few hundred meters away and set up a sentry post not far away before they began to enjoy the chicken soup that the Japanese devils of the Kamasawa Yohei Squad had brewed with their lives.

The soldiers of the entire platoon ate some dry food with the hot soup, and now they were warm all over and full of energy.

Platoon Leader Yan ordered in a low voice, "Go up to the high ground and look around to see if there are any more Japanese devils!"

Heaven rewards hard work! Their platoon went to the highest point on the mountain and looked carefully in all directions, and they really saw a light in the distance.

Platoon Leader Yan ordered, "Approach carefully, just like before." With the experience of the previous success, ten soldiers were still scouting the way, and the soldiers behind them followed.

They were heading towards the fire to the east, but after walking less than a thousand meters, they found a fire in the mountain depression about a thousand meters to the south.

Platoon Leader Yan led the team up and, after just one glance, ordered, "Clear out the Japanese devils nearby first.

Everyone be careful, try not to fire any shots, the sound of gunfire will alert the Japanese devils in the distance."

At this time, some soldiers understood why the platoon leader had insisted on using bayonets to kill the Japanese devils.

Thinking about it, if they had fired a gun just now, the Japanese devils here were only about two thousand meters away, and the Japanese devils here might really have heard the gunfire at night.

The soldiers acted even more cautiously this time, and they walked a few hundred meters in less than half an hour.

When they were more than a hundred meters away, the soldiers scouting the way in front stopped. It was time to assign tasks.

Platoon Leader Yan looked at the Japanese devils here. The embers on the campfire were flickering, only two Japanese devils were guarding the campfire with their guns, and several Japanese devils could be vaguely seen leaning against the rocks around the campfire.

Platoon Leader Yan said in a low voice, "Squad Leader Lao, take two people to see how many Japanese devils there are." Lao Zhiyong agreed and led two soldiers over, returning in about ten minutes.

"Platoon Leader, there are two Japanese devils guarding the campfire, and eleven other Japanese devils are resting on the side."

"Judging from the Japanese devils we eliminated today, they are acting together with thirteen Japanese devils. Since these are thirteen Japanese devils, it means they have not sent out sentries.

Still, the same as before, the first squad in front, the second squad on the left, and the third squad on the right. Three-way encirclement, the password remains the same! Action!" Platoon Leader Yan arranged everything clearly.

"Yes!" The soldiers suppressed their excitement and quietly surrounded the Japanese devils.

The reports from each squad after they were in position were transmitted one after another, and the two cricket calls that Platoon Leader Yan ordered were also transmitted clearly.

Fifty soldiers lightened their footsteps and walked right up to the Japanese devils, who had not even noticed them.

When the cold bayonet pierced their throats, these Japanese devils suddenly woke up from their dreams and were unable to shout, only able to make a hoarse cry.

The routine for cleaning up the battlefield was the same as before, except this time it was the second squad cleaning up the battlefield. Platoon Leader Yan saw that each soldier in the entire platoon had an extra gun, which would seriously affect the team's ability to continue fighting!

He said in a low voice, "We have to put these weapons in one place and come back to get them after dawn."

Lao Zhiyong said, "There's a pit near here where we passed just now, not far from here."

The reconnaissance platoon soldiers put the fifty-two captured guns and ammunition, as well as the satchels and steel helmets taken from the Japanese devils, in this pit and covered them with some branches.

Platoon Leader Yan said in a low voice, "Remember this location well, so we don't lose it ourselves!" Squad Leader Lao Zhiyong said, "Don't worry! Platoon Leader, I can remember any road I've walked."

He dared to say that with confidence because Lao Zhiyong had grown up in the mountains since he was a child and had a special understanding of the mountainous terrain. In his words:

"If it weren't for this war, he would definitely be the most famous feng shui master in the area. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, he secretly ran out to fight the Japanese devils.

This made the old man at home very angry, and in the end, he could only accept the reality and say that in the past ten years, he had been unlucky and would run around everywhere, and it would be fine after these ten years."

Wan Anning on the side said, "Platoon Leader! Don't worry! His eyes are sharp, even if he can't find this place, he can still calculate it with a divination."

In any case, the reconnaissance platoon of the Fifth Company of the Second Regiment hid all the captured weapons here. Now they were moving forward lightly, returning to the correct road again.

They could still see the light in the distance, which made the soldiers of the entire platoon excited again. Platoon Leader Yan Haosi instructed in a low voice, "Brothers! We have already quietly eliminated two squads of Japanese devils tonight. The more it is at this time, the more cautious we must be, don't be like an eighty-year-old man urinating, the older you get, the more foolish you become."

After the soldiers of the entire platoon, who were a little carried away with excitement, were warned by the platoon leader, they all calmed down.

The light in the distance was their target, and the entire platoon quietly moved towards that light.

Bai Hao, the platoon leader of the reconnaissance platoon of the Twelfth Company of the Second Regiment, was a little depressed at dinnertime. Since the daytime, most of the teams in the brother companies had made gains.

But the reconnaissance platoon he led had not even seen a hair of a Japanese devil. He was in the rocket launcher company, and he usually had few opportunities to go on missions like this.

Since the Twelfth Company had changed from infantry to rocket artillery, they had no chance to fight the Japanese devils face-to-face.

This time, the brigade commander had finally given him this opportunity, but the Japanese devils did not give him this opportunity. He had been wandering in the mountains all afternoon, but he had not encountered a single Japanese devil.

How could he not be depressed?

Fortunately, Platoon Leader Yan of the Fifth Company did not hoard his secret and announced the secret of finding Japanese devils at night. The soldiers of the reconnaissance platoon of the Twelfth Company, who had been somewhat depressed, finally became excited.

Platoon Leader Bai mobilized, "Brothers! We didn't find any Japanese devils this afternoon. Now, hurry up and eat some dry food. We will look carefully at night and we will always find some Japanese devils.

Then we will fight them well and make sure those Japanese devils never return."

The soldiers of the entire platoon laughed, "Let the Japanese devils never return!"

To find a fire lit by Japanese devils at night, of course, you have to stand high and see far, so that you have a much better chance of finding Japanese devils.

Platoon Leader Bai Hao led the team up the mountain. They discovered a light in the distance when they had just reached the halfway point of the mountain. The extremely excited soldiers suppressed the urge to cheer.

They all looked at the light in the distance, waiting for Platoon Leader Bai's orders. What else was there to say at this time?

Of course, it was to set off towards that light, first to see if it was really Japanese devils. Before setting off, Platoon Leader Bai still made arrangements:

The first squad was scouting the way in front, the second squad was providing support in the middle, and the third squad was ambushing in the rear. If they found that something was wrong, the third squad would immediately seize the high ground in the rear and cover the retreat of the two squads in front along the original route.

At the same time, Platoon Leader Bai also instructed, "Although we are still sticking to infantry subject training every day, we have not been in close combat with Japanese devils for a while. You must be careful on the way there, be careful and be careful."

Squad Leader Mao Fei of the first squad agreed in a low voice. They did not dare to be too loud, fearing that they would startle the birds that were roosting in the mountains and forests at night. The team of fifty people was divided into three groups and moved towards the light in the distance.

Squad Leader Mao Fei of the first squad was walking in the front, he was walking carefully in the jungle full of thorns, at such times, they could not walk on the mountain paths.

Fearing that the light in the distance was a trap set by the Japanese devils, then there would be ambushes laid by the Japanese devils on all the roads.

Therefore, Squad Leader Mao Fei could only lead the entire squad to clear a path in the mountains themselves. Although their speed of advance was slow, they had been moving towards the direction of the light.

They kept moving until they were not far from the fire, and they could vaguely hear the voices of two Japanese devils talking. When he heard them speaking in Japanese, Squad Leader Mao was happy: two hours of walking had not been in vain.

As the saying goes, "If you walk the night road for a long time, you will encounter a ghost." It was very good that they were able to walk the night road for two hours and encounter Japanese devils this time.

Squad Leader Mao sent Li Junchu back to report to Platoon Leader Bai, "There are a total of thirteen Japanese devils, two Japanese devils are guarding the campfire and chatting, and eleven Japanese devils are lying on the side sleeping."

The Japanese devils' campfire was not burning brightly, but even so, they could still vaguely see their location from more than a hundred meters away.

Platoon Leader Bai summoned the third squad in the rear, and the fifty people were divided into four groups: the first squad was already in position, they would rush out from the front, and the remaining thirty-five soldiers were divided into three groups and surrounded them from the other three directions.

For the action password, Platoon Leader Bai also chose the cricket call, one call was the signal to arrive at the attack position, and three calls were the signal to attack.

Li Junchu quietly went back and told the plan formulated by the platoon leader in a low voice. The squad leader waited for a while before leading the entire squad to continue moving forward.

The Maebu Ibuki Squad belonged to the Third Battalion of the First Infantry Regiment of the Botian Detachment. They had also been subjected to the fierce artillery bombardment of the Special Operations Brigade in the morning.

In the afternoon, Battalion Commander Fuji Edayu broke up the entire battalion's establishment, replenished the numbers of each squad, and then sent them out to infiltrate behind the Chinese army's defense line to carry out reconnaissance and sabotage.

The Japanese devils of the Maebu Ibuki Squad had been walking in the mountains all afternoon and had not found anything. They randomly found a place on the hillside and stopped for the night.

Sergeant Uekata Osamu and Sergeant Kato Tatsuya took turns on duty at this time, and the two Japanese devils were chatting by the campfire.

They had been too frightened during the day, and they had been walking all afternoon. The two Japanese devils were already exhausted to death, but they did not dare to sleep.

Squad Leader Maebu Ibuki was a mean Japanese devil. If he found them sleeping while on duty, they would definitely be punished.

The two Japanese devils tried hard to keep their eyelids from fighting, trying hard to hold on. Suddenly, it seemed that some sound startled Uekata Osamu. He looked around nervously and saw Fujita Yusuke standing up from where he was lying and walking towards the jungle in front.

"What are you doing?" Sergeant Uekata Osamu asked in a low voice. "Pissing!" Sergeant Fujita Yusuke shouted loudly.

His voice was a little loud, which startled the other Japanese devils in the Maebu Squad. Some of them just opened their eyes to take a look, turned over, and continued to close their eyes to sleep, and some didn't even bother to open their eyes, just turned their bodies over and continued to sleep.

The Japanese devils of the entire squad were very tired, and none of them wanted to speak at this time.

Platoon Leader Bai and their squads had already sent out the signal to be in position, but at this time, a Japanese devil had actually gotten up to go to the toilet.

"What to do?" Squad Leader Mao looked at the Japanese devil who was getting closer and closer, and his heart began to beat wildly!

Fujita Yusuke walked like a sleepwalker to a big tree and, without carefully looking around, got into position to start working.

Squad Leader Mao looked at Mei Hongda, who was less than half a meter in front of the Japanese devil. At this time, Mei Hongda had no chance to retreat and could not hide.

Squad Leader Mao made a throat-slitting gesture to Li Junchu. Li Junchu, understanding, stood up from behind Fujita Yusuke, quietly groped forward, covered his mouth with one hand, and cut a knife across Fujita Yusuke's throat with the dagger he was holding in the other hand.

Just as he was about to attack, Squad Leader Mao imitated three cricket calls. He had overstepped his authority by issuing the attack signal.

Hearing the three cricket calls, the soldiers of the entire platoon rushed out all at once. Sergeant Uekata Osamu heard the sound of crickets and also heard the sound of the blood spurting from Fujita Yusuke's severed carotid artery hitting the bushes and grass leaves.

Just as he was about to ask what the sound was, he saw Squad Leader Mao Fei rushing up a few meters away. He screamed, "There are Chinese soldiers!"

As he shouted, the bayonet of Squad Leader Mao had already pierced his chest, and on the other side, Mei Hongda's bayonet had also pierced the chest of Sergeant Kato Tatsuya.

Mei Hongda was very angry, very angry: the position where he was ambushing was originally the best position to rush out, but he was almost peed on by a Japanese devil.

He had nowhere to vent such anger because the Japanese devil who had almost peed on him had been stabbed in the throat by Li Junchu. In this way, he could only vent his boundless anger on another Japanese devil in front of the campfire.

After stabbing Kato Tatsuya to death, Mei Hongda's anger had not subsided, and he wanted to find a few more Japanese devils to vent his anger, but there were no living Japanese devils left on the field.

Although Uekata Osamu's scream had awakened all the Japanese devils of the Maebu Ibuki Squad, what arrived in front of the Japanese devils along with his scream were the bayonets of the Special Operations Brigade soldiers.

This made Uekata Osamu's warning meaningless, and only made these Japanese devils, who were already frightened, even more frightened this time.

Squad Leader Maebu Ibuki stared blankly at the bayonet that was rapidly enlarging in front of him, without any reaction at all. His hands did not even move, and he accepted the bayonet's greeting with his chest.

Platoon Leader Bai Hao had fifty soldiers, and there were only thirteen Japanese devils in the Maebu Ibuki Squad. With this surprise attack,

Most of the soldiers did not get a share of a Japanese devil. Platoon Leader Bai looked at the Japanese devils here who had been completely annihilated and ordered in a low voice, "The first squad will put out the fire, the second squad will clean up the battlefield, and the third squad will hide and establish a defense line."

The soldiers of the three squads immediately took action. The night was already quite deep, and Uekata Osamu and Kato Tatsuya had not put many pieces of firewood on the campfire.

There were only two thick tree trunks burning, and Squad Leader Mao asked the soldiers to pull the two thick tree trunks out first. The soldiers were divided into three groups: two groups to build soil on the tree trunks, and one group to build soil on the campfire.

Using soil to extinguish the fire was the fastest and safest method. Although the campfire of the Maebu Ibuki Squad had been burning for a long time and the campfire was a bit big, it was quickly built up tightly with the help of the first squad soldiers shoveling soil.

The second squad, which was cleaning up the battlefield, was equivalent to one person cleaning up one Japanese devil, and their actions were faster than the first squad extinguishing the fire.

After the two squads had finished cleaning up the battlefield here, Platoon Leader Bai ordered, "Follow the same marching formation as before and go up the mountain. Look around again to see if there are any more Japanese devils."

Although his voice was low, he could not suppress the joy in his tone. Although the soldiers were not allowed to speak at this time, their light footsteps had already revealed their mood.

Squad Leader Mao Fei was still scouting the way in front. They climbed to the top of the mountain and looked around, looking for lights in the mountains and forests.

That night, all twenty-four reconnaissance platoons of the Special Operations Brigade were busy.

Company Commander Jing Li of the First Company, after summoning three reconnaissance platoons to completely destroy the Japanese artillery positions together, quietly lurked again.

When evening came, they also received the experience taught by Platoon Leader Yan of the Fifth Company. Platoon Leader Jing led a squad of soldiers to climb to the top of the mountain, and as they were looking around, they suddenly saw scattered lights flowing in the night in the distance.

He remembered clearly that there should be a main road in that direction. There were at least dozens of small dots of light moving on the road. What was this?

Platoon Leader Jing could not care to look any longer and quickly descended the hillside, leading the entire platoon silently towards the road.

They lurked down a hundred meters away from the road, and in less than half an hour, the sound of rustling footsteps was heard.

Soon the soldiers saw many lights that were sometimes bright and sometimes dim coming from not far away. At this time, Platoon Leader Jing understood: this was a Japanese devil brigade moving at night.

Those lights were just the sparks from the cigarettes of some Japanese devils smoking during the night march.

"We've caught a big fish this time!" Platoon Leader Jing and the others were very happy. This group of Japanese devils was coming from a distance, and their camp was too far away from the heavy artillery positions.

The Special Operations Brigade's cannons were out of reach. These two days, Platoon Leader Jing and the others had been looking for the Japanese devil infantry. Now that they had reached this position, they were within the range of artillery bombardment.

Now, Platoon Leader Jing only needed to follow this group of Japanese devils closely and, when they stopped, report the coordinates to the Second Heavy Artillery Regiment and guide them to the target.

This time during the night march, Colonel Takahashi Yoshi of the Second Infantry Regiment of the Botian Detachment ordered, "The entire regiment is not allowed to light torches, all Japanese devils are not allowed to make noise during the march, and all livestock must have their hooves wrapped in cloth and their reins on, so that they cannot make a sound."

Their weapons and firepower were sufficient, which gave the Japanese devils an advantage
