Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 2193: One strike in one second!

Duanwu would look back from time to time, first to see if the Japanese master had caught up with him, and secondly, to see how far they were from the Japanese pursuers behind them.

The distance cannot be too far from the Japanese pursuers. If it is too far, the Japanese master behind you may not chase you.

But they can't be too close, because Duanwu doesn't know how strong the other party is.

Once he was delayed, he would most likely be surrounded by the Japanese soldiers chasing him.

But unexpectedly, at this moment, perhaps because they were too far away from the Japanese troops, the people behind them obviously slowed down.

Duanwu didn't even think about it, he just turned around and rushed back.

The enemy is struggling and may escape at any time.

  brush!

Just as Suzuki was hesitating whether to continue the pursuit, a figure flashed in the woods in front of him, and then a young man in the uniform of a Japanese soldier appeared in front of Suzuki.

Suzuki was stunned for a moment because Duanwu was wearing the uniform of their Imperial Japanese Army.

But soon he became angry, because he finally knew how the Imperial Army troops left behind on the position died. It was the Chinese in front of him who pretended to be the Imperial Army and gained the trust of the Imperial Army troops left behind on the position. Only then did they kill all the Imperial Army troops on the position in a very short time and then rescued the families of the hunters.

He drew out his sword and slashed directly at Duanwu, intending to kill him on the spot.

Duanwu drew out the black blade from behind and rushed towards Suzuki.

The corners of Suzuki's mouth couldn't help but twitch upwards, because his sword was long and the blade was thick, and he held the sword with both hands, which gave him an absolute advantage in strength and weapon.

But the next second, when the black blade slashed across his blade, he was stunned for a moment.

His sword broke, and the black blade flashed before his eyes.

  brush!

Suzuki and Duanwu stopped at the same time. Duanwu slowly put away his knife, and Suzuki's head rolled off his neck.

Suzuki was killed instantly with one knife. Perhaps even Suzuki himself did not expect that the opponent's knife was so sharp.

Of course, if the opponent's sword was sharp, he might not die. After all, he was also a kendo master. The moment he noticed that the sword was broken, he would find a way to dodge Duanwu's sword.

But Duanwu's knife was too fast. He didn't even have the chance to turn his head before his head was chopped off by Duanwu.

Duanwu put away his knife and quickly left the scene because the Japanese pursuers had arrived.

A moment later, the Japanese arrived and were all stunned when they saw Suzuki's headless body.

Suzuki was the best swordsman around Lord Sato, but he had his head chopped off. And it was less than a minute since they came after him, right? In just this short minute, Commander Suzuki died?

And judging from the traces left at the scene, there was hardly any fight between the two.

Could it be that the enemy launched a sneak attack and took off Commander Suzuki's head with one move?

This is too scary. Isn't the opponent a sniper? How come his kendo skills are so high?

The Japanese did not dare to pursue them anymore and took Suzuki's body back to report the matter to Lord Sato.

The search team therefore stopped.

Because even though they were extra careful they still suffered a small loss, so they had to re-plan their tactics.

At this moment, when Sato saw Suzuki's head, his anger level exploded again.

Suzuki was his most trusted retainer, but now he was beheaded.

"Damn Chunjiang guerrillas, I'm going to kill them all!" Sato's anger was evident in his words, and even Kitahara Hiroyuki didn't say anything at this time.

Of course, he would not allow Sato to act recklessly, because if he did not proceed steadily at this time, he would definitely encounter the enemy's trap.

And this time, isn't the loss much smaller than before? This is a good start.

So after Sato finished his temper, Kitahara Hiroyuki said, "Suzuki-kun's death is indeed a huge loss for us. But then again, Suzuki shouldn't have left his unit to chase the enemy."

Sato glared at Kitahara Hiroyuki, but in the end he didn't say anything more because it was indeed stupid for Suzuki to suddenly leave his team.

Of course, Suzuki also had his own considerations at the time.

The opponent was a sniper, and he thought that the opponent's fighting ability must not be strong, so he thought he should be able to defeat the opponent in close combat.

It’s just a pity that he misjudged Duanwu’s fighting ability and ended up dying at Duanwu’s hands.

Now it seems that he was stupid, but at that time, his judgment was not wrong.

At this time, Kitahara Hiroyuki continued: "This time, our losses have been much smaller. This shows that our tactics are correct, and as long as we are more careful next time, there will be no problem.

Didn't my teacher just telegraph? The Army Air Force has borrowed a reconnaissance plane and two bombers to cooperate with us. With the addition of these three planes, I believe our search will be easier. So what we have to do now is to take steady steps and drive our enemies into the Valley of Evil, so that they will be trapped."

"Humph!"

Sato snorted coldly, while Colonel Takahashi beside him nodded and said, "That's a good idea. Let's do it this way first. Let the two reconnaissance teams continue to scout ahead and just follow Yamamoto's orders!"

Sato also said at this time: "That's it!"

"Ariado!"

Kitahara Hiroyuki thanked the two men, but in his heart he complained: "I am such a humble commander, am I?"

However, Kitahara Hiroyuki remained calm on the surface and still greeted them with a smile.

The Japanese army took action again and headed straight for the entrance of Hupigou in a mighty manner.

Half an hour later, they finally came out of the forest, and in front of them was an open sandy land.

The ground is covered with large pieces of gravel and is about two kilometers away from the entrance to Hupigou.

Moreover, here, the cliffs on both sides of Hupigou shrink inward, and the narrowest point is less than 300 meters.

This place looked very dangerous, so even Kitahara Hiroyuki, Sato and Takahashi had to stop.

Sato looked at Kitahara Hiroyuki standing aside and said, "The guerrillas will definitely ambush here. What are you going to do?"

Kitahara Hiroyuki looked around and said, "This cliff is not very high. It is only about 30 meters high. Let our people find a way to climb up, and then attack from both sides. It will be easy for us to pass through."

Sato asked in return: "What if there are ambushes up there? If we storm such a cliff by force, our casualties will be huge."

Kitahara Hiroyuki thought for a moment and said, "Then let's try this cliff on the east side first. I think it should be easier to get up here. Let's build a defensive position on it and investigate whether there is anyone on the top of the cliff.

If there are people, they will hold the position first. If there is no one, our large army can also pass through the valley safely. Do you think this is feasible?"

Sato and Takahashi nodded almost at the same time. Obviously, they had no better solution at this moment.

  So the large army continued to move forward slowly, while a squad of fifty infantrymen climbed up from the cliff on the east side of Hupigou and built fortifications on top of the cliff!
