Under the strict orders of Wen Shusheng, the first battalion commander of the 369th Regiment, who was entrusted with temporary command by Gu Xun, they strictly adhered to the discipline of maintaining concealment. They could not even breathe loudly so that the island army could take a few more steps into the encirclement.
However, the island army had suffered many losses in the mountains over the years. The 20th division was the absolute elite of the A division, so even when the supply troops passed through the mountains, they still maintained an extremely cautious style.
Even Wen Shusheng, who was standing on the mountainside and looking at the island army with binoculars, had to lie down. He used the terrain and vegetation to observe the progress of the island army and estimate the number of people who had entered the ambush.
A regiment of over 3,000 people walked for nearly an hour before most of them entered the ambush range. The engineers at the front of the mine were carefully advancing forward, while the soldiers on both sides of the island were checking the foot of the mountain for signs of Chinese troops.
Even though the 369th Regiment had tried their best to reduce the possibility of being exposed, it was still inevitable for the island army to find traces of the tens of thousands of troops.
Fortunately, other than a small portion of the island army at the back, the rest were basically in the bag.
Finally, one of the soldiers following behind the minesweeper looked at the direction of the mountainside.
After a long time, he finally confirmed that the faintly discernible grayish-blue color was not something like a mountain rock.
"Pay attention to the mountainside! There's an abnormality!" The Japanese soldier shouted.
The speed of the entire island army slowed down. The commander of the island army in the armored vehicle rolled down the window and asked the signal soldier,"
"What happened up ahead?"
The signalman immediately reported,
"Commander, we have found traces of suspected Chinese military activity ahead. We have slowed down!”
"You did the right thing. You can't be too careful here. Gather some soldiers and go up the mountain to search carefully!”
"Haiyi!"
Wen Shusheng, who was lying on the mountainside, clearly saw through the binoculars that an officer wearing white gloves in the armored vehicle of the island army waved his hand. Then, a soldier nodded and ran to the front of the marching team.
"You're really picky."
Wen Shusheng couldn't help but curse in his heart.
In terms of military strength, as the battalion commander of the 369th Regiment, the number of soldiers he could use was not much less than the supply regiment in front of him. Moreover, Gu Xun had already entrusted the command of the entire regiment to him.
At least now, in terms of the combat power of the troops, Wen Shusheng was not much worse than a weaker Chinese commander.
Even so, Wen Shusheng didn't have to wear a clean officer's uniform and white gloves, which was not helpful for combat effectiveness!
Through the binoculars, the soldiers at the front seemed to have received the order from the officer. They left the mountain path and slowly moved toward the mountainside.
Knowing that the ambush troops could not hide any longer, Wen Shusheng decisively turned on the walkie-talkie and said coldly,"
"Retract the net! Wait for me to open fire. The artillery battalion will keep an eye on their vehicles. Don't let a single Japanese escape. Seal the encirclement!”
Wen Shusheng put down the walkie-talkie and took the M1 Garand from the guard beside him.
"B-Battalion Commander!" The guard was shocked by Wen Shusheng's move.
As a guard, what he was most afraid of was the Bureau Chief being restless and causing all sorts of dangerous things.
Wen Shusheng ignored him and placed the crosshair on the head of the officer he had just targeted.
After a few seconds of calming down and adjusting his breathing, Wen Shusheng pulled the trigger.
A clear gunshot rang out, echoing throughout the valley.
As if they had received the signal from the starting gun, the soldiers of the 369th Regiment, who had been waiting for a long time and had already found their targets, fired at the selected targets together!
However, the first one to win was still the Garand that Wen Shusheng had snatched.
A bullet pierced through the temple of the island army officer who was targeted by Wen Shusheng, causing blood to splatter!
"B-Battalion Commander…"
The guard looked as if he had seen a ghost.
He had also vaguely seen blood splattering out of the car window, but the problem was…
Battalion Commander was usually busy with all sorts of matters, where did he find the time to practice such accurate marksmanship!
Wen Shusheng was obviously quite satisfied with his own achievements.
Although he didn't know what rank the officer was, he should be quite powerful to be able to sit in an armored vehicle.
Very good. It seemed that the spear technique he had practiced back then had not deteriorated much.
Of course, Wen Shusheng wouldn't have the chance to fire a second shot. Not only because the guards were determined to stop him from taking the risk, but also because the firepower of the 369th Regiment had covered the valuable and important targets in the first round.
Due to the fact that the mountainous area was not very suitable for infantry artillery, Gu Xun left 18 M1897 infantry cannons in the regiment headquarters. The remaining 100 mortars were left to Wen Shusheng to use freely.
In addition to the 20 mortars distributed in each company, a total of 120 Grw34 mortars focused their firepower on the vehicles of the island army in the first round. The armored vehicles became the focus of attention.
