Bright Sword: Infinite Logistics

Chapter 125 Complete distrust and incomplete trust

On a dirt road in the countryside, a group of more than 100 Japanese and puppet troops were marching forward.They were careful, keeping a wide distance between people, and were wary of the surrounding air and vegetation.

"Taijun, Taijun!"

A burst of shouting sounded, and the front of the team naturally stopped.Everyone put their guns down from their shoulders, held them in their hands, and became alert.After a while, a Japanese soldier led a puppet soldier who had been shot and came to the squad leader.

"What happened?" The Japs squad leader looked at the two people walking towards them.

"Report to the captain, this man said that he is from the Fourth Company of the Imperial Association Army. They were ambushed and are being attacked by a large number of Eighth Route Army." The Japanese soldier held the gun. Although the muzzle of the gun was facing downwards, it was not pointed directly at the forehead of the puppet army. , but also quietly touched and pointed at the legs of the puppet army.

The Japanese squad leader turned to look at the puppet soldier who was brought over.This man was gray-headed, his body was stained with a lot of dust, and he was dirty.As a breeze blew by, he also smelled a faint smell of gunpowder from the puppet soldier.As a veteran who has been fighting for several years, he is extremely sensitive to the smell of gunpowder smoke.

"Are you from the Fourth Company? Where did you and the Eighth Route Army exchange fire? How was the situation?" the Japanese squad leader asked while waving.Immediately a Japs came over and unfolded a map.

"Liugou, we had a firefight with the Eighth Route Army in Liugou. There were hundreds of Eighth Route Army soldiers, and the firepower was so fierce that we couldn't even lift our heads!" The puppet soldier was visibly trembling as he spoke, seemingly remembering What a scary thing.

"Liugou?" The Japs squad leader's eyes and fingers fell on the map together: "We are here, Liugou is here... not too far away."

The leader of the Japanese team waved his hand and asked his team members to put the map away: "Order, advance to Liugou. You, come here and tell me the specific situation, how the guys were ambushed..."

Liugou.

The battlefield has become completely quiet. The corpses of dozens of Japanese and puppet soldiers are neatly arranged on the ground. The corpses are naked and even their clothes have been stripped off.There were dozens of puppet soldiers squatting together next to them, trembling under the guns of the soldiers.

"The battlefield has been cleaned up. Commander, should I lead my men to ambush first?" Geng Jingshan walked over.

Li Yunlong rubbed his hands. It was already October and the temperature had dropped a lot: "Go ahead. You go and ambush the second wave of Japanese soldiers first. I will arrive soon."

"Captain, aren't you taking a risk by just letting the puppet troops deceive you?" Geng Jingshan paused, then asked: "After all, he is not one of our soldiers, so I am a little worried."

Jiu Lian's pocket-piercing speed was still very fast. The puppet soldiers who wanted to escape were immediately surrounded by a wave, and none of them escaped. Naturally, there could not be any puppet soldiers who escaped from the encirclement to move in for reinforcements.That puppet soldier was selected from among the prisoners by Li Yunlong. The only difference from the others was that he looked more energetic.

"It doesn't matter, the plan we told him was false anyway." Li Yunlong laughed: "Even if that guy really told the truth to the Japanese, it would be of no use."

Li Yunlong dared to directly ask the puppet troops to deliver the news, so he was naturally well prepared.

When he ordered the puppet soldier, he said that he would conduct an ambush on the way to support the Japanese.But in fact, the location of the ambush is still in Liugou.If the puppet soldier told everything, it would not have any impact on his ambush plan.

After all, not everyone dares to conduct a second ambush on the same spot. ……………………

More than 100 Japanese and puppet troops approached Liugou in battle formation.Following the wave of the Japanese squad leader, the puppet company commander immediately dispatched two reconnaissance teams to investigate the situation in Liugou.

"Things are not good. It has only been a while since there was no gunfire. This group of Eighth Route Army soldiers is probably much stronger than I thought." The Japanese squad leader and the corps leader exchanged words in a soft voice.

"There's no need to worry. Even if we can't defeat the Eighth Route Army, we can at least withdraw. They were ambushed and fell into an instant disadvantage." The Japanese corps commander seemed very confident: "But now we are very vigilant. The Eighth Route Army cannot defeat us. ambush."

The Japanese squad leader nodded and felt that what the corps leader said was reasonable.

After learning about the ambush in Liugou, they entered the highest alert state and acted with extreme caution.Just like Li Yunlong didn't believe in the puppet army at all, the Japanese didn't completely believe in the puppet army, and they were equally worried about the puppet army.

Therefore, although he ordered the troops to advance towards Liugou, he maintained a fighting formation along the way and also sent out scouts to prevent being ambushed by the Eighth Route Army on the way.In this way, even if the puppet army is sent by the Eighth Route Army, he will not be defenseless.

And now we have arrived at Liugou.There was no ambush along the way, so the puppet army was probably telling the truth.

Now that the gunfire has stopped, the battle in Liugou should be over. All that is left to do is to survey the battlefield.Unless the Eighth Route Army plans to stage another ambush at Liugou, otherwise...

Wait, a second ambush on the same spot?Why does this idea sound familiar?
The Jaap squad leader's thoughts were racing, and he quickly pulled out a piece of information from his memory, and then his expression changed a little - it seemed like he was setting up a second ambush on the same spot, and the Eighth Route Army had a criminal record!

The Qigen Village ambush battle was fought by the [-]th Brigade, and the third battalion of the [-]nd Regiment was the main force in the two ambush battles.After the Japanese figured out what happened before and after this battle, they took this example as a lesson and publicized it throughout the army.There are quite a few Japanese who know about this battle.Especially the First Army, which often interacts with the [-]th Brigade, naturally has a better understanding of its mortal enemy.

"By the way, I remember that the Eighth Route Army in Yushe is the new regiment of the [-]th Brigade. This new regiment is composed of officers transferred from the [-]nd Regiment..."

As soon as he said this, the corps commander next to him also had sharp eyes: "You mean, the Eighth Route Army plans to conduct a second ambush at the same place?"

"You have to be on guard. You personally take people to investigate the surrounding area. You need to find the ambush position of the Eighth Route Army. Make sure that all the Eighth Route Army has left before entering with large forces."

The corps commander nodded in agreement.Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly saw an investigation team coming back from ahead.The leading Japs quickly ran to the team leader: "Captain, our team found dozens of corpses in front, all of them are our people. Everyone in the second team is among them!"

"Baga!" the Japanese squad leader scolded: "Go and conduct reconnaissance now, faster. I'm afraid we have to increase the load this time."

The captain nodded, turned and left.The Japanese generally collected the corpses of those who died in war, burned them collectively, and sent their ashes back to the country.And since they were conducting a sweep now, it was naturally impossible to carry all the corpses back, so naturally they could only burn them on the spot and take away some of the ashes.
