More than a thousand soldiers from the Japanese army attacked, and the scene was grand.
After receiving the order from the regimental commander, Shinjichi Tanaka, the Murakushita Taizuta immediately led his troops to attack. Other than his own troops, they also received trucks and artillery units provided by the supply troops of the Matsumura Brigade.
It was considered a simple enhancement, but the number of cars was still far from enough to satisfy the number of soldiers. Ordinary combat soldiers ran on two legs, while the soldiers of the supply unit sat in cars and marched forward in a mighty manner.
When the Japanese army reached Yuanjia Village, they saw the destroyed cars and the bodies of the Japanese soldiers. The ground was covered with the minced meat and broken limbs of the Japanese soldiers.
The more Murakami looked, the angrier he became. He said angrily,"The cunning Northeast Army, how dare they treat the Imperial Army like this. We must make them pay.”
He looked around again and found that there was not a single corpse of a Northeastern Army soldier on the ground. He became even angrier. "That useless Matsumura Ichiro. His subordinates are all useless and will only hinder His Majesty's career. Are their guns aimed at the sky?”
"Great Captain, our path forward has been blocked. What should we do?”A Japanese soldier asked.
"Baka!" Murakami was filled with anger." Pushing these scrap iron into the ravine next door and quickly clear the road.”
After a slap, the Japanese soldier immediately bowed. "Hai, we're going to do it now." After saying that, he called the soldiers beside him to start cleaning up the car wreckage that had been blown up on the mountain path.
Unable to move forward, Murakami Taishasa could only stay where he was. Bored, he summoned his two squadron leaders, Senior Captain Inoue Cang and Senior Captain Koizumi Taro, to his side for a meeting.
"Tell me, how do you think we should fight this battle?”Murakami said with a serious expression. The cleaning work on the mountain path was really slow, and his battle plan would definitely be delayed.
"Great Captain, I believe that after ambushing our army, the Northeast Army will become arrogant. We can take this opportunity to send a troop to bypass Yuan Village from the south and advance quickly.”Senior Captain Inoue Cang looked at the map and immediately suggested.
Murata actually agreed with Cang Inoue's suggestion. The scene in front of him reminded him that once the 200-man team fell into the enemy's ambush, they would be completely wiped out. He could not take this risk.
Seeing that Murata did not speak, Tarou Koizumi, who was standing at the side, spoke up," It's only a matter of time before we are blocked here. It won't delay the plan of attack. I feel that the reason why Matsumura Ichiro's brigade was defeated twice was more because they acted rashly.”
"Continue." Murata's worry was confirmed. He wanted to hear what Tarou Koizumi had to say next.
"Our 1,500-man team must not be separated. We will advance slowly and immediately investigate every place we reach. We must ensure that there are no ambushes from the Northeast Army.”Tarou Koizumi's core point of view was only one word, and that was " stability."
"When will we be able to find the Northeast Army?”On the side, Inoue Cang disagreed. The northeastern army might have already retreated after succeeding. If they did not hurry up, they might escape.
"Alright, I'll take Koizumi-kun's advice.”Murakami waved his hand and said," I just want to chase after them slowly. If I encounter the Northeast Army, I'll destroy them. If they escape, I'll have completed my order to chase after them."
Now that he had made things clear, he was no longer in a hurry. He ordered the soldiers beside him to set up a tent here. He wanted to rest here for a while.
Hidden on the hillside in the distance, there was a large reconnaissance team. The captain raised his binoculars and looked at the Japanese officer who was resting leisurely in a tent.
"What happened to Captain?" The soldiers beside him did not have binoculars, so they could not see the situation below the mountain road clearly. Seeing that his captain was actually happy, he asked curiously.
"These devils are quite relaxed. They actually set up tents here to rest.”the captain whispered.
"Should we give them a shuttle and let them have a good time?”The soldiers at the side did not want the Japanese to be so relaxed. They wanted to let them have a taste of the power of their guns.
"What's the hurry? Watch your guns carefully. Don't let them go off.”The captain leaned against the slope. The Japanese army was not in a hurry, and he was not in a hurry either. The order from above was to let them slow down the Japanese army's attack speed. He did not expect the Japanese army to be so slow, which helped him.
Finally, the car wreckage on the mountain road was cleared. Village Jiantai and his troops could finally continue on their way.
The vehicles in front of them slowly moved forward, carrying the soldiers. The vehicles swayed as they drove carefully.
"Boom!" A violent explosion appeared in front of them. The Japanese military transport vehicle crashed into the mine on the road. The huge power blew up the car. The Japanese soldiers on the car were blown into the air. One second ago, they thought that they could finally move forward, but the next second, their souls were gone.
Behind him, Murata immediately shouted,"Enemy attack! Hide!"
The Japanese soldiers jumped out of their cars one after another. On the side of the road, they held the rifles in their hands and carefully looked around. However, half an hour passed and there was no movement.
"Baka, it's just a landmine.”Murakami said in annoyance. "Send engineers to clear the mines immediately. The other troops will cover each other on the side.”
The Japanese army immediately sent out a few engineers with mine detectors on their backs. They raised the mine detector rod and searched left, right, and left, carefully listening to the sound of the mine detector.
At this moment, the captain, who was lying on the hillside, immediately raised the rifle in his hand and ordered,"Kill all the Japanese engineers.”
"Yes, sir!"
The captain picked up the Zhongzheng rifle beside him and shot the head of the Japanese engineer who was seriously clearing the mine.
"Bang!" Half of the Japanese engineer's head was gone, and he fell on the road. Following a few gunshots, the Japanese engineers who were at the front of the mine detection team fell like wheat that had been cut down. They were basically all killed in one shot.
"Baka, the enemy has been hiding on the hill. Attack!”" Kill them!" Murata cursed.”
"Our mission is complete. We won't play with them anymore.”Hong Lang's scouting captain saw that all the engineers had been killed. His mission had been completed. "Retreat immediately."
Before retreating, the captain had set up a trap in front of the camp, waiting to leave a gift for the Japanese later.
The order was carried out without any nonsense. All the soldiers quickly left their previous positions, thinking about the forest behind them. Only the Japanese soldiers were left there to carefully attack, but they did not know that their opponents had already run away.
