On the dirt road to the airport, a group of Japanese troops slowly advanced against the fog with visibility less than ten meters.
Occasionally, the search team in front would fire a few snipers and even drop a few grenade launchers at places where people were suspected to be hiding.
According to the news, the defenders of the airport had heavy artillery and were very powerful, so they became extremely vigilant.
"Baka, this damn weather.”The weather in the jungle was unusually strange. It could be sunny one second and rain the next.
Just like now, when they set off, the sun was still shining brightly, but in the end, it was foggy after a while.
Riding on a bicycle, the Japanese captain looked at the endless fog in front of him. He no longer had the joy he had before he set off, only a very bad mood.
The name of the captain of the Japanese army was Tachibana Kishio. He came from a prominent family and graduated from the Japanese Army University with excellent results. His future was limitless.
However, to Lihua Qixiong, he felt that his luck was extremely bad.
Especially when he came to the battlefield in Myanmar, he realized that he had not fought a decent battle at all. Almost all the enemies he encountered were retreating.
It was often the case that when they arrived at the battlefield, the enemy would have already run more than ten kilometers away, or they would kneel and surrender without any sense of accomplishment.
This made Tachibana, who thought he was full of literary and martial arts strategies, feel that all the talent he had learned in his life was useless.
Fortunately, the opportunity came not long after. The team that attacked the airport suffered heavy losses, and only a few people escaped. According to the news, they encountered the expeditionary force, and at the same time, they had the fire support of the British Vickers cannon.
This gave Tachibana Norio hope, and he felt that it was time for him to show off his skills.
Therefore, he told Takeuchi Lianshan that he would personally lead his troops to recapture the airport.
He even confidently made a military pledge to destroy all the enemies in the airport.
Unfortunately, although Tachibana had an outstanding background, he did not have any strategies or a detailed understanding of the abnormal climate in Myanmar.
As a result, Tachibana Osamu had not only encountered heavy rain on the muddy road, but also made it difficult for the supply troops to move forward.
"Your Excellency, the supply troops are stuck in the mud and are temporarily unable to move forward.”At this moment, the messenger trotted over and said.
Upon hearing this, Tachibana Norio's anger burned. He had already complained that the speed was too slow, but now he had to wait. This was not the answer he wanted.
"Baka, how long will it take? If we wait any longer, the enemy will have escaped. Are we going to occupy another destroyed airport? "Nozomi Tachibana felt that if he led a large group of soldiers, the enemy would definitely flee.
Therefore, speed was the most important thing in war. Along the way, he had emphasized speed. His goal was to catch the enemy off guard.
"At least two hours." The messenger gave an answer.
"Baka, let's not wait any longer. Let the supply troops think of a way to catch up as soon as possible.”Nozomi Tachibana immediately made a decision.
"Order the troops to speed up the attack and take down the airport in one go.”
At the thought that the enemy might escape, Tachibana Norio decided to ditch the supply troops.
As a result, the originally cautious Tachibana Battalion changed their marching style under Nozomi Tachibana's orders.
First of all, the search team's scope of investigation had been reduced. There was no other way but to reduce the scope of investigation in front because the scouts did not have enough manpower.
The search area had been reduced, and without the burden of the supply troops, the Tachibana Battalion's speed had indeed increased.
They arrived at the mountain pass that Meng Fan had mentioned. At this moment, the fog had not dispersed, but the mountain pass was still relatively calm. Tachibana Nozomi stood in place and watched for a long time. When he realized that there was no movement, he waved his hand and ordered them to continue moving forward.
If the map in Tachibana's hand was more detailed, he would have discovered that the road they were taking was like a winding snake, very suitable for an ambush.
Unfortunately, Tachibana had a strong family background, but he didn't have enough strategy. He was going to suffer a huge loss this time.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh…"
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh…"
At this moment, a sharp whistling sound came from the sky.
Nozomi Tachibana froze on the spot, his eyes staring blankly at the cannonball that was about to fall from the sky.
"Heavy artillery? 120mm？”
"How is this possible? Why are there heavy cannons?"
He knew that the airport had Vickers Cannons, but they couldn't shoot that far.
He was still more than ten kilometers away from the airport. Even if the artillery position moved forward, it was impossible to hit them so accurately.
Unfortunately, it was too late. The cannonball did not give him any time to think.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A series of violent explosions shook the heavens and earth.
The long line of Japanese soldiers was forcibly separated, followed by the sound of heavy artillery.
"Get down, get down, find cover.”Tachibana finally reacted and roared loudly.
At this moment, the three rounds of salvo had ended, and the aftermath of the explosion had yet to dissipate. The dense sound of gunfire suddenly resounded throughout the entire mountain pass.
The attack came from the jungle a hundred meters away on both sides of the road, just outside the red line of the Japanese search force.
"Baka! Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" Tachibana immediately realized that it was an enemy attack and ordered the entire team to enter battle mode. At the same time, he ordered the supply troops to immediately follow up and prepare to fire.
However, his reaction was too late. Other than the thousands of automatic firearms firing wildly, the 60mm and 82mm mortars did not stop either.
Thanks to Krupp's rigorous training, the three infantry battalions now had artillery. Although they only had a few mortars, it was better than nothing.
The sharp whistling sound hit the Japanese army's marching team. Tachibana Norio completely collapsed. He had fought too smoothly along the way and lacked actual combat experience, so he quickly panicked when facing the elite troops.
"Baka, quickly retreat, quickly retreat. "Nozomi Tachibana discovered that something was wrong and immediately ordered a retreat.
Unfortunately, his dragon-like formation had long been divided into several small sections. It was not so easy to retreat.
Moreover, they were facing the heavily armed Chuan Corps. They were covered by mortars, AK-47s, and grenades. These Japanese had never seen such a powerful Japanese before, and their morale plummeted.
"We didn't find the enemy's supply troops?”Su Qi, who had been commanding the overall situation, asked in confusion when he did not find the Japanese army's supply troops through the binoculars.
"He didn't follow us. He should be behind us. "Meng Fan shook his head.
"Let's go, leave this to Snakebutt and the others. We'll go deal with the supply troops.”Su Qi said to Meng Fanlie and Dong Dao when he saw that the situation had been decided.
"Yes, sir!"
Is there anyone who still reads this photoshop book? F * ck, nothing happened! It was a little weak!
