Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 2251 Hunting time!

"I don't know what happened to Da Menzi, Er Xiao Plow, and San Nietou."

Ma Ping'an said with some concern as he and Duanwu led the team northward.

Duanwu said: "It's okay, these eight people are hunters from the mountains, they know how to protect themselves. And I gave them weapons, and they have enough ammunition. As long as they are not surrounded by the devils, they will be fine."

Ma Pingan nodded and said, "It seems that I was worrying too much. It's a pity for these people. They are good at shooting and have some reconnaissance awareness. If they are trained, they will all be good soldiers!"

Duanwu smiled and said, "It's a pity that they still have families to worry about. Moreover, they were captured by the devils. If we don't go back to see them, how can they feel at ease? They will come back."

For some reason, Duanwu was very confident and believed that Damenzi and others would come back to find them one day.

At the same time, Damenzi and others were kicking over the stones along the road, and occasionally dropping one or two blood-stained bandages, or a water bottle or something, and then walking south to attract the attention of the Japanese.

They also heard the planes in the sky, but when the planes flew overhead, they would sometimes choose to hide to avoid being discovered, and then come out to continue their actions after the planes left.

But most of the time they didn't have to worry about it because the vegetation above the stream would obscure everything.

After walking about five kilometers, Erxiangli, who was behind, came back in a hurry and said, "Damenzi, the Japanese are chasing us. They are still more than five hundred meters away from us. They will catch up with us soon."

"So fast?"

Damenzi was a little puzzled. Logically, they had set out more than half an hour earlier than the Japanese, and their walking speed was not slow, so the Japanese should not have caught up with them so quickly.

After a moment of doubt, Damenzi felt that the Japanese behind him might be extraordinary, at least in terms of tracking, they were not inferior to them.

Although they deliberately left traces along the way, these traces were not very obvious, for fear that the Japanese would find flaws.

But the Japs obviously arrived faster than they imagined.

Er Huali asked again at this time: "Da Menzi, what should we do?"

Damenzi asked back, "How many of them are there?"

Erhuali said, "About twenty or so. Or maybe less than twenty. We were too far away to see clearly."

Damenzi thought for a moment and said, "This should just be the devil's reconnaissance unit. There won't be many of them. Let's find a way to kill them."

A less courageous hunter hesitated and said, "Da Menzi, didn't Leader Ye ask us to just lead the devils away? He didn't ask us to fight?"

Damenzi snorted disdainfully and said, "Then tell me, why did Leader Ye give each of us 100 rifle bullets before we left? Leader Ye knows our strength, and that's for us to use to fight the devils. Listen to me, and use your abilities. There are only 20 devils, kill them all."

"it is good!"

Everyone responded in unison and immediately began to prepare.

The first thing is to set up booby traps.

Damenzi and others had seen grenades before, and the ones Duanwu gave them were wooden-handled grenades seized from the puppet army.

This type of grenade is more useful for setting booby traps than the Japanese grenades.

If the Japanese grenades are to be used to lay mines, they can only be laid as pressure mines, which are mines that can only explode when stepped on. The probability of triggering this type of mine is too low. After all, the grenade is only so big, and it is not so easy to step on it even if it is set on the enemy's must-pass path.

Therefore, when setting this type of mine, it is generally necessary to lay the mines over a large area in order to make up for the lack of triggering probability with quantity.

But the wooden-handled grenade is different. As long as it is set as a trip mine, it will be triggered by the enemy without paying attention.

Damenzi originally wanted to deploy a few more, but after thinking about it, he decided that it was not cost-effective because if a grenade was tripped, the Japanese would definitely be on high alert, and by then, the grenades behind would be of no use at all.

So Damenzi personally set up a booby trap for the Japanese soldiers behind him.

This booby trap array, once one grenade is triggered, the rest of the grenades will cause a chain reaction and form a killing array within a radius of dozens of meters. Anyone who enters here will be skinned alive even if he does not die.

Damenzi laid the mines carefully and attentively, making sure that the mines could not be seen from any angle, nor could the black, hair-like thin lines be found.

This thing is actually the hair on a horse's tail. Due to its good toughness, it is perfect as a tripwire to trigger a grenade.

And on the way down the mountain stream, they had used this kind of black horsetail, and its effect was so great that even the most elite Shadow Wolf troops of the Japanese army were not aware of it.

Damenzi smiled slightly, because this was indeed used to deal with the enemy and was one of the hunter's best methods.

Hunters like Da Menzi and others were all descended from their ancestors. In the early years, there would be friction between hunters because of fighting over hunting grounds, and some would want to kill the other.

However, this kind of killing of the opponent does not mean that both sides fight with hunting rifles. Instead, it means using the hunter's method.

Both sides have set up clever traps in the hunting grounds. If you want to hunt, you will be like the prey, stepping on other people's traps at any time and anywhere. Even if you want to set a trap, you are very likely to fall into the other party's trap.

So the battles between hunters at that time were also very brutal.

Some were too seriously injured to continue hunting, and some even lost their lives.

Later, as the number of hunters gradually decreased, this friction gradually subsided.

However, various traps and methods for hunting opponents in the jungle are still passed down from generation to generation.

And Damenzi, Erhuali and others are among the successors.

Therefore, the traps they set were all places that the Japanese had to pass through, and their methods were secretive and difficult to guard against.

And Damenzi also chose an ambush location for this ambush.

It is located in a dense bush on the opposite bank.

Damenzi and Erhuali each brought four people and ambushed them in two sniper positions.

With their marksmanship, they could shoot wherever they pointed at at a distance of more than a hundred meters. As long as the Japanese entered their shooting range, no one would be able to return alive.

The gate gradually hid itself, and the Japanese soldiers were approaching quietly at this time.

Their speed of movement was such that the three-man team searched in front, followed by their main force, and another five Japanese soldiers were behind to cover their retreat.

  Obviously they have thought of all the possible dangers they may encounter, and believe that this is an invincible formation. No matter there are enemies in front of them or hidden enemies behind them, they can deal with them easily!
