Chen Weidong smiled and did not comment on Liao Wenhua's suggestion. On the contrary, the seized ammunition and grain could alleviate his urgent needs. As for the expansion of the team, it could not be rushed for a while.
While they were talking, the soldiers had already cleaned up the battlefield. They did not even leave a single bullet shell for the Japanese. After all, for the base's arsenal, which had harsh conditions, they urgently needed bullet shells to produce reloaded bullets.
Chen Weidong ordered the soldiers to pile the bodies of the Japanese and the puppet soldiers together. He then took a few grenades and hung them on the bodies to set up a trap. Only then did he nod in satisfaction.
Seeing this, Liao Wenhua gave him a thumbs up and said sincerely,"Platoon leader, you're really ruthless. You didn't forget to give the Japanese an extra meal before you left.”
"Haha!"
Chen Weidong clapped his hands and said,"You brat, learn!"”
Then, he called the soldiers to pack up all the spoils of war and take them away. They hummed a little tune as they returned to the encampment in Zhao Family Village.
Just as Chen Weidong had expected, after the ambush, the sound of gunfire alerted the Japanese in the Xiadian stronghold ten kilometers away.
The Xiadian Stronghold on the Zhengtai Line consisted of a 70-man Japanese team and a 106-man puppet company. The commander was Yoshino Masaichi, a Japanese second lieutenant.
Yoshino was dozing off in the stronghold's bunker when the cannon fired. After waking up, he immediately gathered his troops and asked the captain of the brigade, Takeuchi Ryoshi, who was stationed in Lijia Town, through the radio. He immediately sent two small teams of Empire soldiers and a company of puppet soldiers to reinforce the transport team.
"Hiss ~"
When the Japanese troops arrived at the battlefield, they were stunned by the tragic scene.
Sun Jingqi, the leader of the puppet army, could not help but gasp and say in a low voice,"Oh my god, how much hatred and resentment does this have? The bayonet has pierced his belly into a sieve!”
Then, Sun Jingqi ordered,"Men, collect the body of the Grand Lord and bring back his head. Don't let the wild dogs take it away."”
In fact, Sun Jingqi did this for the sake of the two squads in the army. He was a veteran who knew the times and naturally knew when to be too nice to his Imperial Army master.
"Baka, hurry up, hurry up!”
In the troop, the faces of the Japanese soldiers were extremely ugly. However, since things had come to this, all they could do was to prevent the corpses of the Empire's warriors, who had died for the Emperor, from being thrown into the wilderness.
A few Japanese soldiers put down their guns and quietly participated in the work of collecting the corpses of their compatriots.
The two of them moved the corpses skillfully. Just as they lifted a Japanese corpse, they heard a sizzling sound. Then, a melon grenade rolled out with green smoke.
"Baka!"
"Get down!"
Sun Jingqi and the commander shouted at the same time. Although the sound of the grenade pulling the guide rope was not loud, it was enough to make the two of them break out in cold sweat and subconsciously fall to the side.
In just a few seconds, the Japanese soldiers and puppet soldiers who were still carrying the corpses did not have time to react.
Boom!
A shrill explosion sounded. After the grenade exploded, the bullets formed by the explosion whistled down with the aura of death, killing seven or eight Japanese and puppet soldiers who could not dodge in time.
Boom! Boom!
Elsewhere, the puppet soldiers who were moving the corpses were also blown up by the booby traps. The heavily injured soldiers who fell to the ground let out desperate and painful wails.
When the explosion sounded, Chen Weidong's platoon had already appeared on the ridge line three miles away. After hearing the explosion, the soldiers smiled knowingly, and their admiration for the platoon leader deepened.
Chen Weidong was in a good mood. He said to the marching troops,""Well, everyone sing a song. I'll start. Cough cough, chop the Japanese's heads with the big knife. Prepare to sing!”
The big knife chopped at the heads of the devils. The armed brothers of the country, the day of the war of resistance has arrived.
An hour later, at the Japanese's headquarters in the Li family town, the Japanese's Third Master Takeuchi looked at the twenty or so corpses of the Imperium soldiers neatly placed in the courtyard of the headquarters. His face was livid, and his eyes were bloodshot. He roared in a low voice like a furious beast,""Have you found out who did it?"
"Reporting, Taijun. According to the traces left on the battlefield, it's very likely that the 386th Brigade did it. There wasn't even a bullet shell left at the scene of the battle.”
Sun Jingqi wiped his sweat and continued,""If it was the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army, they wouldn't even bother to pick up the bullet shells left behind when cleaning up the battlefield. Only those beggars would pick up bullet shells. After all, their base's arsenal needed bullet shells to reload bullets.”
"Baka Yalu, this is impossible!"
Takeuchi Renzo roared," How could this bunch of beggars wipe out our entire transport team? You should know that Kobayashi is the best cavalryman in our Empire's cavalry squadron, Tuba. Lu's legs could not catch up to the Empire's warhorses at all!”
"Reporting, Major. From the analysis of the traces at the scene, Kobayashi's cavalry lost their combat effectiveness after being attacked by artillery shells. There are two 82mm artillery shell craters at the scene. According to my speculation, the Chinese people used at least one artillery shell in this ambush, and their strength is at least one company.”
One of the surviving soldiers reported his observations to Takeuchi Renzo.
"Reporting to the major, there's an urgent message from the Xia Dian stronghold!”
At this moment, the communications soldier from the headquarters rushed over and handed a telegram from Second Lieutenant Yoshino to Takenouchi.
According to the telegram, there was an independent regiment of the 386th Brigade that had recently been active in the area between Xiadian and Lijia Town. The number of personnel, weapons, and equipment were unknown. It was very likely that they had ambushed the transport team.
"Baka, independent regiment, independent regiment, it's this independent regiment again!”
Takeuchi Renzo crushed the telegram into a ball of paper. He hated the Independent Regiment to the core. His classmate, Yamazaki, from the Imperial Army University, had been wiped out by this Independent Regiment.
From that day on, the Independent Regiment became a thorn in Takeuchi Renzo's side, a thorn in his flesh, and his mortal enemy.
Now, it was this independent regiment that ambushed his transport team and killed more than 20 warriors of the empire. If he did not take revenge, the three generals of the Takeuchi Alliance would not be able to face the Rising Sun Flag behind him.
"Pass on my order. The Special Higher Police's intelligence agency will take action immediately and find the Chinese troops that ambushed the transport team. I want to use their heads to pay tribute to the heroic souls of the Empire's warriors!”
Takeuchi Renzo pulled out his sword and slashed at the air. After venting his anger, he continued to order,""Pass down my order. All the soldiers of the Imperial Association will be mobilized to search the villages from Li Family Town to Xiadian. Find the way!"
"Ha Yi!"
