Anti-Japanese heroic righteousness

The first thousand 860 nine chapters flying to escape

Lake Aoki is located in the north of Omachi City, Nagano Prefecture and is one of the three major lakes in Nagano Prefecture.

Because of poor nutrition, the lake is clear and transparent, surrounded by mountains and jungles on all sides, with picturesque scenery, it is a famous tourist attraction in the island country.

To the southwest is the famous Northern Alps, with thousands of feet of cliffs, blue sky and white clouds, reflecting into the lake, it is too beautiful to behold.

To the north is the lower-altitude Mount Tailang, a lush jungle with cherry blossoms in spring and red maples in autumn.

The Senkoku Highway winds along the foot of Mt. Taro in the north and is the only thoroughfare to Omachi, Nagano.

Along the road, there are rows of Japanese-style buildings with unique shapes, most of which are hotels, restaurants and other leisure places, which are the habitats of tourists who go skiing in winter and escape the heat in summer.

In late autumn, when the forests are all dyed, it should be the time when there are many tourists, but when you look around, you can't see a living person, only a few wild dogs come out from time to time, bark a few times on the road, and immediately hurry with their tails between their legs. fled.

In the jungle on Mount Taro, there is a winding field trench that can't be seen at a glance.

Soldiers in khaki military uniforms and steel helmets were all over the trenches. Machine guns and cannons were set up. Boxes of ammunition and grenades were placed in an orderly manner. On the edge of the trench, a sun flag drooped and curled up into a ball.

The wind does not blow in the jungle, and the flag has no spirit.

In the valley deep in the jungle, a piece of grass-green tent stands quietly. This is the headquarters of the 228th Division of the Seventh Army of the Island Army.

The 228th Division was originally stationed at Shayuchuan, but after the complete fall of Toyama, Shayuchuan lost its defensive barrier and could not resist the torrent of steel from the special warfare group army at all.

In order to preserve strength and not make unnecessary sacrifices, Commander Toshiki Kinoshita decisively issued an order to retreat, and the 228th Division retreated here unscathed, setting up this blocking line in advance.

Facts have proved that Toshi Kinoshita still had a little foresight, and at this time they became the most powerful barrier to stop Li Bing's division from advancing.

But Takashi Ikeda, head of the 228th Division, didn't think so. He didn't think he was just a "barrier". He believed that this was the grave of all the troops who entered.

The only regret is that choosing such a picturesque place to bury them is indeed too cheap for them.

In the largest tent, Takashi Ikeda sat in front of the desk with his legs crossed, with a cigarette in his mouth, calming down.

A major general of the Island Army walked in through the curtain, holding a message in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Ikeda, the small island brigade has been contacted, but..."

"But what?" Takashi Ikeda was a little displeased.

"However, almost all the jade is broken."

"Ah, why did this happen?" Takashi Ikeda jumped up, his face changed drastically, and he snatched the message from the major general.

The major general's throat rolled, and he said: "A small group of troops touched Baima Village four or ten minutes ago, and quietly destroyed the brigade headquarters. Immediately afterwards, the Zhina army came up from three sides, and it took only ten minutes to solve the problem." After the battle, more than 10 locust troops were killed by them."

"Then who sent this telegram?"

"The telegraph soldier Ono escaped by hiding among the dead. He found a spare radio station and sent it."

Ikeda Takashi held the telegram in his hand and sat slumped, muttering: "So, the third airborne division is about to enter our defense zone?"

The major general said: "It's only twenty miles from Baima Village to here, four or ten minutes is enough, logically they should have appeared earlier."

"There is no discovery at the front checkpoint?"

"No, I just asked. I asked all the fixed sentries, mobile sentries, and dark sentries, but I didn't find anything."

"Then where will they go, can they fly into the sky and escape from the ground?"

The major general hesitated for a few seconds, and said worriedly: "It's impossible to fly into the sky and escape from the ground, I'm afraid they will go into the mountains."

"Into the mountain?" Ikeda Takashi's expression turned serious, and he shouted, "You mean they will go up the mountain from Baima Village, and then circle behind us?"

The major general was silent, but his expression had already acquiesced.

Ikeda Xiaofeng jumped up like a sting, and shouted: "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible, not to mention that it is impossible for them to know that we have set up an ambush here, even if they know, they are a very mobile force. The number of such vehicles is not small. Moreover, they are also a force without logistics, and all their supplies are brought with them. If these vehicles are left behind, all their supplies will be lost?"

In the face of doubts, the major general also frowned. He is Nobuyoshi Hongo, the chief of staff of the 228th Division. He is already in his 40s. He was injured in the first Xuzhou battle in the Chinese battlefield and retired. He has rich battlefield experience. .

He clearly knew that Takashi Ikeda's doubts were very reasonable.

An army that goes deep behind enemy lines cannot survive without supplies.

On the way to retreat, the locust army even destroyed the water source, and even wiped out other food. Even if it could not be taken away, it was poisoned or injected with biochemical bacteria. Once the army ate it, it would undoubtedly die.

Moreover, for such an army, they are facing a locust army whose strength is many times stronger than theirs. Throwing away the vehicle rashly means that they will also throw away all the heavy weapons, and even the ammunition can only be carried by individual soldiers. quantity.

For long-distance raids, the amount of ammunition carried by an individual soldier is at best twice as much as usual, but for the battle to be faced, maybe a slightly larger battle can make them run out of ammunition.

Of course, there is another possibility, that is, they hide the vehicle somewhere first, and then retrieve it after the front is safe.

But this idea can only exist in theory.

Because, this is an island country after all, and the soldiers and civilians of the island country are scattered all over the mountainous area. Maybe the locust swarms will arrive soon after the army passes by.

Therefore, it is unrealistic to say that it is unrealistic to leave the vehicle and go up the mountain, but how to explain the disappearance of the troops?

Hongo Nobuyoshi suddenly shivered, and said, "Could it be that their logistics is completely dependent on airdrops?"

"Airdrop?" Ikeda Takashi was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "It's impossible, they have a force of more than 1000 people, and how much air force would it take to rely on airdrops for all their supplies? There are more places for aviation support, so why don’t you use hundreds of transport planes to drop them at any time?”

Nobuyoshi Hongo remained silent. In his more than 20 years of military career, he has never encountered such a strange thing. A troop of more than 1 people, knowing that it is by his side, completely disappeared from his field of vision. middle.

"No matter what, we must find them. I suggest sending a search team in the direction of Baima Village. At the same time, the jungle behind us should also be searched. Don't be afraid of [-] or just in case."

Ikeda Takashi hesitated for a few seconds, and said: "This is the only plan for the present, I hope there will be no mistakes." In his expression, he was no longer as calm as he started.
