Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

Chapter 387

The traitor who was sent to investigate unintentionally sent traces of large-scale personnel activities in Lookout Mountain. Mashiko Shigeo learned of this situation and judged that the Eighth Route Army headquarters had briefly rested in Lookout Mountain, and maybe it is still in Lookout Mountain.

Then the advancing team set off immediately, the traitors and the Japanese mixed squad went ahead to investigate and guard, and the rest of the personnel followed slowly.

"Although we were delayed in Laoyagou for a while, the Eighth Route Army headquarters has a large number of personnel, and there are also a large number of luggage and wounded people accompanying us. The marching speed is slow, and our personnel are short and capable. As long as we find their traces, it will not be difficult to catch up with them! Mashiko Shigeo's words were full of confidence.

"Yizijun, what you said is reasonable. Even if the Eighth Route Army intends to clean up some traces, there will inevitably be some omissions!" Yu Gongnan said, picking up a piece of bloody gauze from the grass, and then said: "Look, what is this?" ?”

"Yoxi, it looks like the Eighth Route Army is right in front of you." Mashiko Shigeo grinned, turned to the telegraph operator in the queue and said, "Give power to the main force of the Imperial Army immediately. Highway, transfer to the southeast of Shexian County, please take strict precautions with the local defenders!"

Although Mashiko Shigeo was arrogant, the wording of the telegram sent to his superiors was extremely cautious. He only stated that the Eighth Route Army appeared on Mount Wangwang, but did not directly confirm that the Eighth Route Army was on Mount Wangwang.

At this time, the second and third battalions of the 22nd regiment had already set off from the temporary station, and the accompanying team used pack horses to transport luggage and a heavy machine gun company.

Due to the clear purpose, everyone moved very fast, and soon walked out of the boundary of Wangwang Mountain.

So the second battalion commander who was in charge of this operation called the third battalion commander, and the second battalion commander said: "Did we go too fast, the little devil didn't notice us!"

"It shouldn't be, we spent a lot of money and lost a lot of things along the way. The cooking team of the Ninth Company even lost the marching pot. As long as the little devil is not blind, he can't see it!" The third battalion commander said distressedly. .

"It's broken. It must be that the traces we left are too obvious. The little devil thought it was a suspicious strategy. I didn't believe it. Go back!" The second battalion commander gave an order, and the team headed back.

Mashiko's advance team marched from west to east. The second and third battalions first marched northwest and then turned back.

The reason why the deputy chief of staff arranged the marching route of the second battalion and the third battalion was to create an illusion for the Japanese army that the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army broke through from Lookout Mountain and jumped from the inner line to the outer line. After that, you can also have a stable time to rest.

At this time, Mashiko's advancing team had already entered the depths of Mount Wangwang. Looking around, the mountains were high and densely forested, deserted and inaccessible.

"Baga, Tubalu will only go into the ravine when he meets the main force of the imperial army, what a cowardly act!" Mashiko Shigeo wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then cursed angrily.

"Yizijun, hold on a little longer, the Eighth Route Army can't go far!" Yu Gongnan encouraged.

The rest of the advance team members were not much better, if it wasn't for Mashiko Shigeo's strong pressure, they would have been sitting on the ground long ago.

"Taijun, the Eighth Route Army has been found ahead!" A traitor shouted excitedly.

Mashiko Shigeo and the others immediately lifted their spirits and followed the trail for three or four miles.

After the Japanese advance team left, two soldiers from the 22nd regiment who were lurking not far away stood up from the corners.

"The little devil is really chasing after the second battalion and the third battalion. I'll keep an eye on it. You go and inform the commander!"

Not long after, the deputy chief of staff and others received the news.

"Chief of Staff, shall we chase?" Liu Tianming asked. The soldiers of the 22nd Regiment had already gathered and prepared, and were just waiting for the order from their superiors.

"Let's go right away, but don't chase too closely!" said the deputy chief of staff.

The words are divided into two parts.

Mashiko Shigeo was also wandering around in the mountains at the beginning, but now he suddenly recalled: "Stop moving forward! The situation is wrong, look at the compass and determine the direction!"

A Japanese soldier immediately said: "Sir, the current direction of progress is northwest!"

"Nani?"

"What's going on here? How could it be the northwest direction?" Shigeo Masuko asked, grabbing the collar of the leading traitor
"Madam, along the way we saw a lot of things left behind by the Eighth Route Army. This is the road!" the traitor said tremblingly.

Mashiko Shigeo checked again, and then said with a smile: "Baga, I was almost deceived by the Eighth Route Army. The Chinese people are very cunning. The Eighth Route Army headquarters must have broken out to the northwest. This is their usual trick!"

"Could it be a suspicious strategy by the Eighth Route Army? What if the Eighth Route Army breaks out in the direction of the Han-Chang Highway?" Yu Gongnan said.

"No, although the Tuba Road is poorly equipped, its commanders are often very courageous, which is quite different from the Chinese government army. Besides, they are familiar with the local conditions, so they might have slipped out of the encirclement of the main force of the imperial army!" Mashiko Shigeo said confidently Said.

At this moment, birds suddenly startled in the forest in front, obviously someone was moving there.

"Yoxi, chase!"

Not long after, a company serving as the vanguard exchanged fire with Mashiko's advance team, and then retreated while fighting.

Mashiko Shigeo leaned against a tree, picked up the binoculars and observed carefully, and saw figures in the distance, figures in gray military uniforms running towards the outside of the mountain.

"Yo Xi, the Eighth Route Army is fleeing towards the casualties. This must be the leftover troops of the Eighth Route Army. It seems that the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army is in front!"

"The Eighth Route Army is throwing themselves into a trap, report this information immediately!" Shigeo Masuko grinned, not knowing that the 22st Battalion of the [-]nd Regiment had already surrounded them from behind.

The 22nd Battalion and [-]rd Battalion were running in front, and Mashiko's advancing team was chasing after them. The [-]st Battalion of the [-]nd Regiment and all directly subordinate teams who heard the gunshots also stepped up their marching speed and surrounded them from behind.

When the little devil saw the Eighth Route Army, he chased after him as if he had been beaten with chicken blood.

The soldiers of the 22nd Regiment had moved one after another before, and their physical strength had long since returned to the state of their heyday. At this time, soldiers were shot and fell to the ground one after another.

"Damn it, don't run away. The little one thousand people are being chased by a group of little devils. When did I get angry like this? Hit me!" The commander of the third battalion immediately ordered the troops to stop advancing and counterattacked on the spot.

The Second Battalion, which was in front of the marching line, suddenly heard the gunshots from behind becoming more intense. The Second Battalion Commander immediately realized that something was wrong, and immediately ordered the Second Battalion to turn around and divide into two groups to surround the group of little devils from left and right.

At the same time, Shigeo Mashiko also realized something was wrong: "Baga, we seem to be trapped in the encirclement of the Eighth Route Army!"

Before, when retreating, the little devil relied on tricky marksmanship to cause a lot of casualties to the soldiers.

At this time, the scene was reversed. The heavy machine guns were in the forest. Although they were blocked by big trees and could not exert their full power, the six heavy machine guns of a heavy machine gun company still overwhelmed the little devil.

"Hit me, hit me hard!" the commander of the third battalion shouted.

The few traitors in front were the most miserable. Heavy machine gun bullets shot at them, and their bodies were smashed into a sieve. The rest of the traitors stood up in fright when they saw the miserable state of their companions, and ran back.

"Ba Ga, get down!" These sixteen traitors were carefully trained by Yu Gongnan. Although their performance in combat was not satisfactory, Yu Gongnan didn't want his efforts to be wasted, so he immediately reminded them.

It's this time, these traitors don't even listen to their own father's words, let alone the little devils on the side, they have used all their strength to nurse.

No matter how fast he ran, how could he catch up to the speed of the bullet, and ended up following in the footsteps of his companions.

However, the little devils in Mashiko's advance team were indeed the elite selected from the Japanese army. Taking advantage of this gap, several [-]-style grenade launchers quickly fired grenades, and the explosion sounded near the two heavy machine guns directly in front.

The heavy machine gun that had been suppressing the Japanese army just now went silent.

Before Mashiko Shigeo was happy, there was a deafening shout of killing behind him, and more than 22 soldiers from the first battalion of the [-]nd regiment rushed over directly from behind.

Before the more than [-] Japanese troops in Mashiko's advancing team could react, the two sides strangled together.

Seeing this, the soldiers from the third battalion in front and the second battalion on both sides also rushed up, and the Japanese army was immediately submerged in the crowd.

In a ravine outside the battlefield.

The guard company of the 22nd Regiment and more than forty fighters of the reconnaissance company were under the full command of Dong Jiang at this time. Except for those who were arranged to guard the periphery, the rest of the soldiers closely guarded the deputy chief of staff among the crowd.

"Dong Jiang, don't be so nervous, take it easy, how do these little devils compare with the Yamamoto Secret Service you fought against?" the deputy chief of staff asked with a smile.

Although Dong Jiang hadn't directly fought against Mashiko's advance team, he had heard about the record, so he could tell the weapon the kid used by hearing the gunshots.

Dong Jiang said disdainfully: "Chief, this group of little devils can be seen from their weapons and equipment. The weapons they use do not include submachine guns. Obviously, the Japanese army did not invest as much resources in Mashiko's advance team as Yamamoto's special team. As far as I know, the members of the Yamamoto Special Forces have all been trained in the German Special Military Academy, and their individual combat capabilities and tactics are extremely terrifying, and they will definitely not be surrounded so easily!"

"Then what is the current level of your reconnaissance company?"

"It's not enough to compare with the top, but it's more than the bottom. Our detachment leader often said that the current conditions are limited and there is no way to train professional special forces. However, our reconnaissance company is more than enough to eliminate this group of little devils in front of us!"

"Heh, you're quite modest. After the sweep is over, don't go back to Tainan. I'll tell Zhou Weihan to stay at the headquarters," the deputy chief of staff said with a smile.

　Alas, every once in a while I get tired of codewords and feel depressed, I don’t know why
