Chapter 229 The Arrogant But Cautious Old Yamazaki

The gunshots came so suddenly that Yamazaki and his adjutant thought that the Eighth Route Army had an ambush on this line.

But then, after a few sparse gunshots ended, there was no more sound.

Upon hearing the sound, Yamazaki and his adjutant hurried forward to meet up with the vanguard. The Japanese soldiers of the vanguard were firing their guns not far away.

Yamazaki and his adjutant followed the gunpoints of the soldiers, which was on the road between the two peaks of Yixiantiantian.

About eleven or twelve Chinese people with rifles and uniforms of the Eighth Route Army were fleeing in a panic.

One of the guys didn't know if he was possessed by a dramatist. He accidentally dropped the gun in the process of fleeing. With a bang, the gun hit the ground and only ran five or six meters away before turning his head. He came to look at the gun, wanted to come back to get it, and then looked at the devils who were chasing him not far away. He was so scared that he didn't even want the gun, and continued to flee along the narrow road to the distance.

"Squad leader!"

"I can't control that much anymore, let's run quickly, go back and report the situation first."

Squad Leader Nine seemed to lower his voice on purpose, but in this exceptionally calm corridor, his voice spread far away, and even Yamazaki could hear it clearly.

Yamazaki did not understand Chinese, but he had an accompanying interpreter, and the translator immediately translated to Yamazaki what the two Eighth Route Army soldiers had just said.

The team leader in charge of commanding the vanguard reported to Yamazaki Hui: "Sir, we groped all the way and just bumped into the Eighth Route Army just now. They seemed surprised too, with panic written all over their faces. We immediately opened fire. Those Eighth Route Army's marksmanship skills Very poor, with sparse firepower, and seeing that they were no match, they turned around and ran away."

"Yangxi!"

Yamazaki nodded, analyzing the situation in front of him, he thought it was an ambush prepared in advance by the Eighth Route Army relying on the sky.

Looking at it now, it was just a false alarm. The Eighth Route Army estimated that there were not many troops stationed here. Seeing the Imperial Japanese Army approaching, they fled without fighting.

"Did you see the flustered expressions on the faces of the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army just now? It seems that we have found the place by mistake. I thought that after passing through this gap, it must be an important military location of the Eighth Route Army. According to my speculation, it is very likely to be the arsenal of the Eighth Route Army."

"If you can destroy the arsenal of the Eighth Route Army, it must be a great achievement."

"The Eighth Route Army will definitely be angered by our army, and the main force of the Eighth Route Army will encircle from all directions. At that time, our department will follow the general's instructions, attract and contain all the main forces of the Eighth Route Army, hold on to the danger, wait for the follow-up reinforcements, and wipe out the main force of the Eighth Route Army. "

The adjutant nodded, but there was an unconcealable worry in his expression.

It is the duty of the adjutant to put forward his own suggestions and reminders to the military chief. The adjutant's eyes are still on the mountains on both sides of the line of sky:

"Sir, there is a tactic in the Chinese Art of War, which is to lure the enemy deep and show the enemy weakness. Could the Eighth Route Army just now be just a decoy, trying to lure us into the narrow lane in front of us?"

This is very possible, but the arrogant Yamazaki said indifferently: "No, the possibility of what you said is very small, don't forget, our army came here in a surprise attack, and the Eighth Route Army was unprepared for this. The flustered expressions on the faces of those fleeing Eighth Route Army soldiers did not seem to be fake, which also proved this point."

"In other words, even if the Eighth Route Army is ambushing on the mountains on both sides, with the Eighth Route Army's sparse firepower and poor military quality, how can it hold back the front of our troops?"

"In addition, if the gunshots are fired now, if there is an arsenal inside the Eighth Route Army, it will definitely be alarmed. At this time, soldiers are extremely fast. If we delay our progress because we are afraid of being ambushed by the Eighth Route Army, we will miss the opportunity."

"Well, I understand your concerns, just let the logistics team and the mountain artillery squadron follow. If there is an accident, the mobility of the forward troops is enough to make adjustments."

"Hi!"

As a result, the adjutant had nothing to say and quickly responded.

The Eighth Route Army soldiers had already run away, and Yamazaki could still see them through the binoculars. Even at this time, the backs of these soldiers were still panicking.

"Didn't see these Eighth Route Army soldiers change their direction along the way. If there was an ambush, there was a high possibility that landmines would be planted along the lane. How could these Eighth Route Army soldiers leave the central area of ​​the lane unharmed?"

"Start immediately, speed up your pace, and pass through this narrow passage as quickly as possible."

Yamazaki gave the order, even though his words just now were full of arrogance, and he didn't even take the Eighth Route Army seriously, but in fact, this old devil was very thoughtful!
"Yes!"

The Yamazaki Battalion set off again. According to Yamazaki's deployment order, the infantry squadron walked at the forefront as the vanguard, while the baggage squadron and the mountain artillery squadron hung behind, with a distance of about 200 meters between the two sides.

……

The mountains on both sides of a line of sky are not low, and with the sound insulation of the trees, talking in a low voice on the mountains, it is naturally impossible for the devils on the road to hear.

Seeing the devil quickly enter the first line of sky, the face of the leader of the platoon was full of excitement. He lowered his voice and said: "The company commander, the ninth squad leader, they succeeded, and they really brought in the little devil. The devil didn't even carry out the preliminary investigation. .”

The monk and a platoon of commanders hid in relatively hidden bunkers, and at the same time, they could take care of the devils in the front line of the world.

The monk's eyes fell more on the devil's supply squadron and mountain artillery squadron, he frowned and said: "It seems that the little devil has indeed come in, but it is obvious that the devil has not let down his vigilance, have you noticed, little The devils deliberately placed the baggage and artillery at the rear of the line, just to be on guard against any accidents when passing through the sky."

"Long row."

"To!"

"Immediately arrange the flag soldiers to communicate with the second row on the right side of the mountain with flag language. After the battle broke out, I will focus on the devil's follow-up supplies and artillery.

In addition, the battle must be carried out in advance, otherwise once the devil steps on the landmine and realizes that there is an ambush, the baggage and artillery behind will immediately retreat, and we will not be able to stop it if we fight again. "

"Yes!" A platoon leader responded, and turned around to make arrangements.

On both sides of this line of Tianshan, the communication between the first row and the second row is carried out by the flag soldiers at the hidden positions designated by both sides in advance.

After the monk's order was issued, the communication quickly spread to the second row.

The second platoon leader ordered in a low voice: "The company commander has sent an order, the third squad leader, the fourth squad leader, and the fifth squad leader, remember, the battle will start in a while, commanding the soldiers, the grenades and explosives are directed at the devil's follow-up baggage and Say hello to the artilleryman, if you don't destroy this thing first, the little devil will be able to deal with us when he turns around."

"Yes!" The three monitors responded in a low voice.

Time passed quietly...

Yamazaki, who walks in a thin line of sky, is quite isolated from the world.

But this old devil believes that as long as he passes through this line of sky, the future will suddenly become clear.

The route along the way was taken by the Eighth Route Army soldiers who fled just now, so there shouldn't be any surprises.

In this way, the vanguard of the Yamazaki Brigade, the Japanese squad, lined up in two rows and took the lead in walking towards the minefield laid in advance by the guard company.

On both sides of the mountain, watching the devils gradually approaching the minefield, and receiving orders from the company commander Wei Dayong, the soldiers who realized that the battle was about to start all raised their hearts to their throats.

How could these idiot little devils know that the ninth squad leader deliberately acted and pretended to flee, the reason they were able to pass through the minefield unharmed was because they knew the location of the mines long ago, and there were signs on them to avoid the mines , through the safe passage in the middle.

According to the formation in front of the little devil, this leading Japanese team will definitely step on a landmine.

In order to prevent the devils from retreating in advance of the logistics squad and artillery squadron following behind, the monk meant that they should act in advance before the devils stepped on the landmines.

20 meters,
15 meters,
……

ten meters,

six meters...

In order to avoid long nights and dreams, the devil wants to pass through the sky quickly, and travels very fast.

Seeing that the devils in the lead are getting closer and closer to the minefield, and they are about to step on the mine within a few meters away, this is a time to test the commander's stable psychological quality and excellent judgment.

What the monk strives to achieve is to put the devil's luggage and artillery in a deeper place.

The last two meters.

No matter how short the little devil is, he can reach it with a few more steps.

It is this critical moment.

Wei Dayong, the top military commander of the guard company, did not hesitate any longer, and with a loud shout, accompanied by the gunshot in his hand, an ambush began.

boom--

The monk's marksmanship was not fake, and the first shot he fired directly killed a devil soldier under the crack of the sky.

The battle broke out in an instant...
