However!
As soon as he gave the order, the first and second squads rushed to the recon platoon under the cover of the other Japanese. However, they realized that the recon platoon had already run away.
The Japanese could clearly see that there were more than a dozen soldiers from the Eighth (2nd) Division a few hundred meters away. They were carrying light machine guns and running wildly.
"Baka!"
Seeing this scene, the Japanese squadron leader who was in charge of leading the team suddenly waved the commanding knife in his hand and said,"Continue to pursue and kill those cowardly Chinese soldiers.”After saying that, he turned around and reported to Lieutenant Colonel Okazaki.
"Eight grid tooth path!"
Captain Okazaki was still happy when he saw that he had taken down the 8th division's base. However, he didn't expect the 8th division to run away.
"Chase after them. To be equipped with two light machine guns means that they are the main force of the 8th (2nd) division.”
"At the same time, send a telegram to Lieutenant General Xiao Zhong. Tell him that we have met the main force of the 8th (2nd) division (2nd) in the direction of Xiaohezi, downstream of Tongyu River.”
After saying that, he led the 1st Squadron and chased after the recon platoon.
……
Following that, with the cooperation of Du Guoming and Zhang Peng, the Okazaki Battalion was led to the ambush site at Youlou Valley.
It was three o'clock in the afternoon. Today was another hot day. After walking around the mountains for nearly two hours, the Okazaki Battalion was tired, hot, and thirsty.
They really wanted to stop and take a break, but thinking about how they had captured the main force of the 8th (2nd) division, the entire Okazaki Battalion was unwilling to give up.
As for why they felt that they were targeting the main force of the 8th (2nd) division, it was because the pressure from the Okazaki Brigade was increasing.
The First Company Platoon and the Scouting Platoon had no choice but to join forces. They had six light machine guns, two to three grenade launchers, one heavy machine gun, and many pistols.
To have such firepower, the Second Army of the Eighth Route was definitely the main force. Judging from the firepower, this was at least a main battalion.
In the command post, Zhao Yiqing and the rest watched as the recon platoon and 1st Company 1st Platoon quickly passed through the bottom of the ditch and arrived at the frontline of the 1st Company's defense position.
About three to four hundred meters behind them, the Okazaki Battalion quickly followed suit.
The Okazaki Battalion was completely defenseless. From the soldiers to Lieutenant Colonel Okazaki, they only had one thought in their minds, and that was to capture the main battalion of the Second Eighth Division and destroy them.
Just like that, the dazed Okazaki unit entered the encirclement that the garrison team had prepared for them. They did not know that the moment they stepped into the ambush position.
There were already thousands of muzzles and dozens of cannons aimed at them, waiting for Zhao Yiqing's order.
"Captain, the Japanese vanguard is still 300 meters away from the first company's position!”
"The Japanese vanguard is still 200 meters away from the first company's position!”
"The Japanese have all entered the ambush zone!”
"The Japanese vanguard is still 150 meters away from the front line!”
"100 meters!"
When the number 100 meters came out, Zhao Yiqing's calm expression finally changed. He pulled the trigger.
"Pa!"
After a gunshot, one of the Japanese team leaders fell to the ground.
Gunshots were orders!
The soldiers of the garrison unit who were already prepared pulled their triggers and fired aggro bullets at the Okazaki unit at the bottom of the ditch.
The Youlou ditch ambush had officially begun!!!!
"Pa!"
"Thud!"
"Da da!"
"Whoosh! Boom!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In an instant, the entire Youlou Valley battlefield was filled with intense explosions.
The explosives buried at the bottom of the ditch were detonated. Under everyone's gaze, countless Japanese soldiers followed the explosives and made a small helicopter.
Broken limbs were flying in the air.
In front of the art of explosion, human strength was very small. The seemingly huge body was like a broken sack at this time, dancing in the air.
Although the garrison team had a large number of recruits, their powerful firepower covered up this shortcoming.
In the ravine, the Okazaki Battalion was stunned by the sudden barrage of firepower.
"You fell for it?"
Captain Okazaki survived the first wave of firepower. He lay on the ground, and this thought appeared in his mind.
"Cannons and so many light and heavy machine guns. Is this a division?”
"But why is there a division of troops here? It shouldn't be!"
"Could it be that our whereabouts have been tracked by the 8th (2nd) division the moment we left the encampment? They let him in just to kill him?”
At the thought of this, Captain Okazaki felt a chill run down his spine and shouted,""Signal soldier, signal soldier!”
Amidst the violent explosion, Okazaki's shouts were drowned out. Only his mouth could be seen opening and closing, but no one could hear what he was saying.
Fortunately, the communications squad had been following him all along and miraculously survived the first wave of firepower. Although he did not hear what the captain said clearly, he knew that he was being called.
"Send a telegram to Lieutenant General Xiao Zhong. Tell him that we are in the direction of Youlou Gully and are surrounded by at least one division of the 8th (2nd) Division (2nd) Army.”
