Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

Subsequently, several other companies also sent battle reports one after another. Basically, there were no major accidents. Although several personnel were seriously injured, it was not life-threatening. People were also sent to escort the seriously injured back to the base area for treatment.

Li Jin also asked other companies to pay attention. Before attacking a target, they must make sure that it is not a trap set by the Japanese.

.........

It's about five o'clock in the morning.

A squadron of one hundred and eighty Japanese soldiers was heading towards the watchtower.

Three motorcycles led the way, and other Japanese soldiers ran behind.

On the motorcycle in the middle were a Japanese lieutenant and a Japanese captain.

"Captain, I don't know what's going on over there at the watchtower right now. I hope everything will be fine," the Japanese second lieutenant said.

He wanted to call the watchtower to tell the defenders that they had set off and asked them to hold on, but the call could not be made. It was obvious that the phone line was cut off by the enemy, so the call could not be made.

"Don't worry, the watchtower is easy to defend but difficult to attack. With a small team of soldiers guarding it, nothing will happen." The Japanese captain said confidently.

It is not that easy for the enemy to knock down the towers. Even if there are hundreds of people, even if there are thousands of people, don't even think about knocking down the towers in one night.

"That's what the captain said, but who are the enemies attacking the watchtower?! Are they from the Jinsui Army?!" Lieutenant Japanese said.

In comparison, the Jinsui Army was more suspicious, because the Eighth Route Army was still far away from them, so the person who took action was definitely not the Eighth Route Army.

Besides, the Eighth Route Army must be more aware of the strong firepower of the watchtowers. With their strength, how could they have the courage to attack.

"There will basically be no one else except them. The Jinsui Army's station is closer to here than the Eighth Route Army. They may be more likely to take action." Captain Japanese said.

Their current construction of watchtowers is still on the periphery, and has not been built to the point where the Eighth Route Army may be located. Therefore, the Eighth Route Army will not go so far to attack a watchtower.

Instead of attacking the watchtowers, they might as well attack some small towns, which would have a greater chance of winning.

"More than a month ago, other cities were also attacked by the same attack. What on earth do these Jinsui troops want to do?!" said the Japanese Lieutenant.

Imperial soldiers in other cities were also attacked before, and hundreds of soldiers plus thousands of Imperial Alliance troops were killed or injured. Unexpectedly, just over a month later, the opponent started again.

"Hmph, no matter what they want to do, they really pissed us off, so we just sent an army to attack them! I really thought we could just hide!

Provoking the majesty of our empire is the last thing they should do! "The Japanese captain said with a cold snort.

His face was serious and he didn't pay attention to those people at all. In his opinion, the Jinsui Army was just a bunch of chickens and dogs. It took so much time to just kill some of them, and they couldn't make any waves at all.

The reason why those watchtowers were easily attacked by the enemy before was because the personnel standing guard were too careless, especially the soldiers on the top of the buildings who were responsible for using searchlights to search for surrounding security.

That's why the enemy took advantage of it. In so many watchtowers and checkpoints, the enemy almost used the same method to kill the soldiers inside. It was a great shame and humiliation!
Now their guards have become more serious. The fact that the watchtowers can make a distress call to them this time shows that the enemy does not dare to attack the watchtowers in the same way as before.

So they became angry and directly chose to attack the watchtower.

"The Jinsui Army has not made any big moves recently, so why did it suddenly start to cause trouble to us again?" Lieutenant Jaizi was a little confused.

After being captured by them from Taiyuan, there was not much decent resistance from the Shanxi-Sui Army. They just fought with the Eighth Route Army last year to calm them down.

There were basically no big moves after that, and the cities they defended were occupied by them one by one, without even some symbolic resistance.

"I guess I was under pressure from above, so I thought of coming out to do something." Captain Jiazi said. If he were the other party's superior, he would naturally be unhappy when he saw his subordinates doing things like this. It is normal to put pressure on him.

"I see, but I feel that the Jinsui Army will not continue to make small fuss this time, and will probably continue to trouble us and harass us." The Japanese second lieutenant said.

"It's not impossible." The Japanese captain frowned. The Jinsui Army probably wanted to make some real achievements this time, so they would probably keep harassing them.

"If they keep doing this, it won't be good for us, and our mission will also be affected." The Japanese second lieutenant said that they still have the task of continuing to build watchtowers and checkpoints.

If watchtowers and checkpoints are constantly being attacked, how can they build them with peace of mind?

"I will report this matter to the Major. It depends on what the Major tells the Colonel!" Captain Japanese said, and he also realized that this would not work.

Because what the Jinsui Army did would affect the overall planned actions, some measures had to be taken, but this was not something he should consider.

Soon, they were less than three miles away from the tower.

"Strange, why didn't I hear any gunshots?!" the Japanese second lieutenant asked in confusion.

It stands to reason that at this distance, gunfire would have been heard long ago, but now it is so quiet.

"This is not normal. The enemy could not attack for a long time, but we made dumplings, so he immediately retreated. It seems that our trip was in vain." Captain Japanese said.

In his opinion, the Jinsui army must have felt that they had not been defeated for so long, and they were afraid that something would happen if they continued to fight, so they chose to retreat.

"It makes sense." The Japanese second lieutenant nodded. This was the only possibility. The enemy couldn't knock down the watchtower. Are you kidding? If the watchtower was so easy to fight, why did they build it?

Seven or eight minutes later, they saw the watchtower. However, when they got closer, they found that it was too quiet here.

If the enemy had not taken down the tower and retreated, the soldiers inside would definitely come out to greet them when they saw the reinforcements coming, but now there was no one, and it was almost eerily quiet.

"Captain, there seems to be something wrong with the situation." The Japanese second lieutenant swallowed his saliva and said, having a bad feeling in his heart.

"You don't need to say it, I can see it!" The Japanese captain's face suddenly darkened. This watchtower was most likely knocked down by the enemy.

This made him feel that what he said before was like a slap in the face, and he was so humiliated. He just said that the watchtower would not be lost, but now he was slapped in the face.

The Japanese captain got out of the car and walked towards the watchtower. When he passed by the bunker not far in front of the watchtower, he was stunned because he saw the corpses of more than ten or twenty imperial soldiers lying behind the bunker.

For a moment, his face turned ugly.

"Captain, these soldiers seem to be all broken into pieces!" said the Japanese Lieutenant.

The Japanese Lieutenant did not speak. He turned to look at the closed watchtower door. He stepped forward angrily and was about to kick the door down when the Japanese Lieutenant stopped him.

"Captain, be careful, there might be an ambush inside." Lieutenant Japanese said. He was worried that the enemy would ambush in the watchtower before they left. "What are you thinking about? If there were really enemies, we would have been attacked long ago when we came here, so why wait until now." Captain Japanese said angrily.

Why are these men so stupid? There was a large open space where they just came. If there was an enemy ambushing, they would have taken action long ago. There was no need to wait for them to come over.

The Japanese Lieutenant was stunned and realized that he had said something stupid.

However, when the Japanese captain was reminded like this, he also murmured in his heart that there might not really be an enemy ambush inside.

"You two, go in and take a look." The Japanese captain thought for a while and called two soldiers.

"Hi!" The two soldiers nodded, took off the 38 caps they were carrying and held them in front of them, carefully opened the door, and then went in.

However, there was no one on the first floor. Just when they were breathing a sigh of relief, they suddenly heard some subtle noises coming from the back door.

The two Japanese soldiers couldn't help but look back and saw two smoking grenades behind the door. For a moment, their pupils shrank and they tried to avoid them.

"Captain, be careful!" Lieutenant Guizi also noticed that the door was smoking, and immediately threw Captain Guizi aside.

Boom boom!

Two loud noises were heard, the wooden door was blown to pieces, and the two Japanese soldiers were killed on the spot.

This sound also alerted the surrounding Japanese soldiers. All of a sudden, the Japanese soldiers came over here, and all of them raised their 38 big covers on guard. More than a dozen Japanese soldiers carefully entered the watchtower to check the situation.

"Bah!" The Japanese captain spat out a mouthful of sand, his ears buzzing.

The Japanese Lieutenant got off the Japanese Captain.

The two of them were helped up from the ground by Japanese soldiers!

"Captain, are you okay?!" the Japanese Lieutenant said.

"What did you say?!" Captain Guizi was deaf. He could only see Lieutenant Guizi's mouth moving, but no sound could be heard.

There was nothing they could do. Although they were not injured, they were too close to the explosion and were temporarily deafened by the shock.

After a while, the two people's hearing was restored.

"Baga! This group of enemies is so insidious, and they would do such disgusting things even after leaving!" Lieutenant Guizi yelled angrily. If Lieutenant Guizi hadn't reminded him just now, he would have been killed by the explosion.

"Fortunately, Lieutenant Jiren has his own destiny, so the enemy's trick did not succeed." Lieutenant Guizi said quickly.

"Thanks to you this time, don't worry, I won't treat you badly." Captain Guizi patted Lieutenant Guizi on the shoulder and thanked him.

"It's nothing, this is what I should do." Lieutenant Guizi said.

"I remember that in the Third Squadron, there is a substitute captain with the rank of captain. I will mention you to the lieutenant colonel when the time comes. You have to work hard." Captain Guizi said. He and the lieutenant colonel were from the same city and knew each other, so The relationship is still good.

I believe that the other party will give me this face. Of course, even if he doesn't, it's okay. Anyway, he has already done what he should do.

"Thank you, captain, thank you, captain!" Lieutenant Guizi was very happy. He didn't expect that he would still have the opportunity to be promoted.

For a soldier like him who has never even attended a military academy, it is already very good to be promoted to lieutenant. His biggest wish is to be promoted to colonel.

As for a higher position, a grassroots like him is not qualified to think about it.

"You're welcome, this is what you should do." Captain Guizi was very satisfied with Lieutenant Guizi's performance.

"Captain, we have checked. There is no enemy ambush in the watchtower. Even the soldiers inside are all broken into pieces." At this time, the sergeant who entered the watchtower came out to report the situation.

"These people are really losers. They occupy a favorable terrain, but they can't hold it! Did this commander fight with his butt?!" the Japanese captain cursed.

The watchtower was easier to defend than any other mountainous area. There was a small group of dozens of soldiers inside, but they still couldn't defend it. It was unbelievable to him.

The Japanese captain walked into the watchtower. When he went upstairs, he was stunned for a moment when he saw the broken limbs and broken arms on the stairs and the blood on the ground.

There were no corpses or bloodstains on the first floor, only traces of grenade explosions, represented by the shrapnel on the wall.

It explains that the commander immediately sent people to the corner of the stairs, but why the battle situation at this position was so tragic.

It looked like they were hit by a grenade. There were only less than ten people in the group, and they were divided into several teams. It was impossible for the enemy to come in, and then throw grenades here and blow them up.

Then there is only one possibility, the grenades were thrown from behind, and there were more than one!
How did the enemy do it? !

The Japanese captain was lost in thought for a while. The watchtower was built with only small windows, specially used for soldiers to shoot and attack the enemy. It was difficult to throw a grenade in through the window. Even if it was thrown in, the grenade might be thrown at this location to explode. Talent is right.

"Captain, come here quickly, he seems to have been killed from behind." The Japanese second lieutenant shouted from upstairs.

When the Japanese captain heard this, he quickly ran up and arrived at the second floor. An officer was lying on the ground, with dried blood flowing next to him. His eyes were wide open and he refused to close his eyes.

"The enemy seems to have sneaked in, and then killed him with a knife in the back when he was not paying attention. But how did the enemy get in?! Could it be that they climbed over the wall and climbed in from the roof?! It's impossible." The Japanese Second Lieutenant said.

Although the outside of the building is rough, it is impossible to climb up with bare hands.

"What's going on?" The Japanese captain frowned. He also felt that it was impossible for anyone to climb to the top of the building.

"Could it be that he committed suicide?!" the Japanese Lieutenant speculated.

"Looking at the cut, it's impossible to commit suicide. The person who did it was very strong and the knife was sharp, so he could cut it so deeply." Captain Guizi said. People who commit suicide cannot cut their throat so deeply. and tidy.

"Then the enemy really climbed in from the top of the building?! It's not necessarily true. Maybe after the enemy came in, he tried to run, and then his throat was blocked by the enemy's knife." Captain Jiazi thought for a while and said.

If the enemy throws grenades inside and lets people come in and throw grenades on the stairs while our own people are hiding, it is either impossible to do this or it is very dangerous and most people don't dare to do it.

But compared to the enemy who can fly and come in from the roof, this one may be bigger. It may be that he is overthinking it. If the roof of the building can be climbed up casually, why would they build this thing?
