Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 2202 Kitahara Hiroyuki’s little expectations!

The birds in the forest were startled, which aroused Kitahara Hiroyuki's vigilance.

Colonel Sato's roar was indeed loud, but it was not loud enough to scare away birds a kilometer away.

At the same time, Colonel Sato and others also noticed it.

Sato said with a grim smile: "We found them."

But at this time, Kitahara Hiroyuki looked at the sky and said, "Sato-kun, it's already past two in the afternoon, and it will be dark in just a few hours. I think this may be a trap set by the enemy. Otherwise, why don't these birds fly up earlier or later, but at this time?"

  Sato said in disbelief: "Maybe they just escaped there? Kitahara-kun, even if this is a trap, what can our enemies do to us?

By the way, didn't General Takeda give us two bombers? Can we request air support? And if so, even if the enemy sets a trap, we don't have to be afraid."

Kitahara Hiroyuki still suspected that this was a trap, and it would take at least an hour for the bombers to arrive for support, right?

A bomber is not a reconnaissance plane, it cannot fly that fast.

But at this time, Sato was already a little impatient, and said to Kitahara Hiroyuki: "I will lead the team myself, and only two squadrons of troops will be needed. I will not rush in. After I find them, I will hold them back. Then you can come to support me, and we can catch them all in one fell swoop."

Kitahara Hiroyuki complained: "Sato-kun, I'm afraid you won't have the chance to wait for my reinforcements."

Sato said angrily: "Baga, do you doubt my ability to command? Would I joke with my own life? Moreover, the opportunity cannot be missed. If we let our enemy escape, we don't know how long the next battle will drag on. Don't you understand?"

Kitahara Hiroyuki frowned, but at this time, Takahashi also said: "How about I go with Sato-kun, we can discuss things if we encounter any problems."

At this moment, Kitahara Hiroyuki's eyes rolled and he thought, "If both of you die, then this army will have to listen to me, right?"

Thinking of this, Kitahara Hiroyuki said with embarrassment: "I am worried about your safety. If anything happens to you, I really don't know how to explain it to the teacher."

Sato said disdainfully: "Kitahara-kun, do you really think we are useless? When we were fighting, you were still wearing open-crotch pants!"

Kitahara Hiroyuki did not refute, but said: "Senior is right. Then the two of you should select your own elites and go for reconnaissance. Remember not to go too deep, as it will be dark soon."

"Long-winded!"

Sato said disdainfully, and in order to prove his ability, he and Takahashi took less than 400 devils and hurried to the forest where the birds were startled.

The forest is not very dense, or rather, there are very few very dense forests in the Valley of Evil.

However, the terrain in the Valley of Evil is quite complex. Even in the woods, the terrain is not flat and is undulating.

At this time, Sato ordered the scouts: "Survey this forest. If the guerrillas pass through here, they will definitely leave traces. Be careful, our enemies are very cunning, do you understand?"

"Hi!"

A Japanese reconnaissance team of seven people quickly entered the woods.

They crossed the forest in an east-west direction in order to look for possible traces of guerrillas.

At first they walked very fast, but gradually they slowed down.

Because at this time, they were already very far away from the main force, about 500 meters away.

Because of the trees, they could no longer see the main force.

So the Japanese walked very carefully and kept a low profile.

They even stopped talking and communicated with gestures.

Suddenly, a Japanese soldier found that the vegetation not far ahead had been trampled. He immediately made a gesture and asked everyone to look in the direction he pointed.

The Japanese sergeant who led the team also saw it, and there were not just one plant that was trampled, but many such plants. The Japanese sergeant immediately made a gesture, and everyone quickly approached.

When he came near the trampled vegetation, he squatted down and carefully examined the traces. He lowered his voice and said, "They came from the southeast and left in the northwest. Go and report to Lord Sato."

"Hi!"

A Japanese soldier took the order and immediately planned to run in the direction they came from. But at this moment, a gunshot was heard, and the Japanese soldier's head was blown off.

"Enemy attack!"

The Japanese sergeant reacted immediately and shouted a warning.

But in the next second, his head exploded and his body fell to the ground.

  boom!boom!

At this moment, gunshots were heard from the forest one after another. The seven devils went back to see their Amaterasu without much resistance.

But it's not because they are too weak, but because their opponents are too strong.

  Duanwu, Long Qianyan, Ma Sanpao, and Dumb. Four snipers of them fighting seven Japanese soldiers, isn't that a piece of cake for Zhang Fei to eat bean sprouts?

At the same time, Sato heard the gunshots and knew something was wrong.

He rushed in with his men.

But at this moment, one of the Japanese soldiers seemed to trip over something.

By the time he realized it, it was too late. The booby trap had already been triggered. With a loud roar, the Japanese soldier who tripped over the booby trap and the three Japanese soldiers around him flew out directly.

All the devils stopped at this time.

"Baga, how could there be a booby trap? There was no booby trap when the scouts passed by just now!"

The old devil Sato is very strange.

However, at this time, Gao Qiao saw the clue and said: "Just now the scouts were walking in a straight line, but now we have more people, more than a dozen columns."

Sato immediately gave the order: "Everyone, be careful with your steps. Divide into four columns, with a distance of ten meters between them. The people behind should follow the footsteps of the people in front."

"Hi!"

The Japanese soldiers took the order and quickly changed their formation.

Even so, some Japanese soldiers still accidentally triggered landmines, but the casualties were much smaller.

Sato the devil quickly brought his large army to the depths of the forest, but all he saw were corpses on the ground, and their enemies had long disappeared without a trace.

"These cunning Chinese, I really want to burn all the forests."

Sato roared angrily, but this not only did not help the battle situation at all, but also greatly reduced the morale of the Japanese.

At this time, Sato's men even had some jungle phobia.

The jungle was filled with traps, booby traps, and elusive snipers. They could only passively take the beating.

Moreover, scouts have now become a high-risk profession. Before, nine out of ten people could come back, but now, not even one can come back.

Colonel Takahashi saw that Sato's incompetent roar could only lower his own morale, so he said: "Mr. Sato, please calm down. Our enemies are indeed very cunning, but they dare not fight us head-on. This is enough to show that the Imperial Army of the Empire of Japan is powerful. When the enemy sees us coming, they can only run away.

So I don't think this passive situation will last long. As long as we keep following their footsteps, we will definitely find them and force them into a dead end, leaving them with no place to stand!"
