Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 182 The Price of Arrogance (Part [-])

After the Japanese army managed to reach the stronghold in Shangjie, except for corpses scattered all over the place and dozens of seriously wounded people who couldn't even scream, they didn't see a single dead body of the Eighth Route Army, let alone a living Eighth Route Army.

"Bageya Road, let the Eighth Route Army escape again!" The squadron leader who was the smallest to rush into the stronghold cursed loudly.

At this time, Major Qiushui also walked over with a gloomy face: "They brought a lot of supplies and equipment, and they must not go far. The Fourth Infantry Squadron stayed behind and greeted the seriously wounded. The others followed me!"

"The order the general gave us is to destroy this Eighth Route Army. If we can't complete the task, I can't explain it to the general!"

More than 500 devils rushed out of the stronghold in a murderous spirit, and chased them along the wheel tracks left by the Eighth Route Army.

Seeing that the troops were chasing faster and faster, and even the formation changed, the former captain of the guard, now the temporary chief of staff, immediately reminded: "Captain, why don't you let the troops slow down and keep some vigilance during the march. Such disregard All rush forward, once attacked, the troops will definitely be caught off guard!"

"No!" Qiushui Shaozuo refused without hesitation.

"The reason why the Eighth Route Army was able to slip away from our noses just now was because we were too cautious, and then we were deceived by the Eighth Route Army's bluff. If we had been more courageous at that time, the Eighth Route Army who blocked us might have been wiped out! "

"But it's too dangerous to rush like this!" The captain of the guard still insisted on his opinion.

Shao Zuo Qiushui shook his head and replied: "I know what you are worried about? But I judge that what you are worried about will definitely not happen!"

"The Eighth Route Army only has so many troops in total. With so much equipment and supplies, they need someone to protect them, right? If you remove the Eighth Route Army that protects supplies, it would be nice to have half a company left. The Eighth Route Army has the guts to attack so many of us." The imperial army!"

"It's best not to come. If I dare to come, I'm not only not afraid, but also very happy. I look forward to their coming. It happens to be able to eat up the mobile troops in the hands of the Eighth Route Army in one go. Without the mobile troops, the Eighth Route Army that protects supplies and retreats will have nothing to do." There will be no way to escape and be wiped out by us!"

The captain of the guard understood immediately.

In doing this, Shao Zuo Qiushui not only used unprepared troops as bait, but also forced the Eighth Route Army to send out mobile troops to stop him through rapid marches.

Although dozens of imperial troops may be lost to the Eighth Route Army's sneak attack and surprise attack, as long as the Eighth Route Army's mobile troops can be wiped out, the price is worth it.

"Da da da..." At this moment, a burst of machine gun fire came from the front.

Although he hadn't received the report yet, Major Qiushui had already made a judgment in his heart that the one who shot just now must be the Eighth Route Army's sneak attack troops.

Therefore, a gleam of light flashed on Qiushui Shaozuo's serious face, and then he gave an order to the captain of the guard next to him.

"Detour, immediately dispatch troops to surround and attack our Eighth Route Army, hurry up, don't let them escape again!"

"Also, order the forward troops to organize a counterattack on the spot, stick to them, and don't let them escape again!"

The team that was still in chaos just now quieted down.

The Japanese troops of the two squadrons set off quickly, rushed directly out of the road, and rushed to the place where the gun was fired just now.

In Qiushui Shaozuo's view, an encirclement and annihilation operation that would not have any surprises began.

However, the dense gunfire stopped in less than half a minute.Major Qiushui's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately felt a very bad premonition.

Immediately afterwards, a second lieutenant rushed over.

"Sir, the troops were attacked by the Eighth Route Army and suffered heavy losses!"

"Have you eliminated them? Why did the gunfire stop so quickly!" Qiushui Shaozuo asked, staring at the opponent's eyes.

"No, they ran away after fighting. The Eighth Route Army that attacked us was no more than one platoon, and they attacked us from more than 100 meters away. As soon as the squadron leader ordered the troops to counterattack, the opponent retreated!" The second lieutenant replied angrily and helplessly!

"Guerrilla warfare, this is the guerrilla warfare that the Eighth Route Army is best at. How many soldiers of the Imperial Army have we lost!" Major Qiushui asked back, frowning.

"Thirty-six imperial soldiers were killed, and another 36 imperial soldiers were injured. There is no way to continue chasing the Eighth Route Army!" The second lieutenant replied with gritted teeth.Obviously, such a large casualty of the troops also made him full of anger.

"How could there be so many casualties? Didn't the Eighth Route Army attacking you not even reach a single infantry platoon? What are you doing, Bageyalu!" Shaozuo Qiushui wished he could draw out his command saber and chop the second lieutenant in front of him with his face full of blood. Angry, he asked back with a look of disbelief.

The second lieutenant quickly replied, "It's the Eighth Route Army that is too cunning!"

"Although they have less than one platoon of troops, they are equipped with no less than ten light machine guns. With so many light machine guns firing at the same time, the warriors didn't even have a chance to react, and they were directly swept down in pieces. on the ground."

"So that's it!" Qiushui Shaozuo said with a face of enlightenment.

After waving his hand to signal the second lieutenant to leave, Qiu Shui immediately ordered: "The troops can't rush like this, let the Eighth Route Army sneak up like this a few more times, and the hundreds of us will be killed by the Eighth Route Army!"

"Send the wounded back to the base, and the others will continue to pursue! But we must remain vigilant, don't let the Eighth Route Army sneak attack again, we can't afford to lose!"

With such a change in the Japanese army, the marching speed became much slower.

Zeng Quan, who personally directed the sneak attack, breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the changes in the Japanese army through a telescope.

"The devil has slowed down, notify the deputy political commissar, we need to speed up!"

"Commander Zhou, I remember that there are still landmines in the ammunition we seized. You go to the deputy political commissar to get five and bury them for the devils, so as to further slow down their marching speed!"

"The others and I continued to sneak up on them. They went to the streets and did not stay in the stronghold, but they wanted to run out to chase us. Then we will make the devils pay for their arrogance! Comrades, let's go!"

As soon as the formation of more than 600 devils changed, they were not attacked again.

Shao Zuo Qiushui's tense face gradually relaxed.

But at this moment, a violent explosion suddenly sounded in front of him.

Although he hadn't received a report yet, Shao Zuo Qiushui subconsciously judged: "It's a landmine. The Eighth Route Army actually planted a landmine on the road!"

"They want to slow down our pursuit, order the troops to leave the road, walk off the side of the road, and continue to chase them. They must not let the Eighth Route Army's treachery succeed!"

However, the troops walked forward for less than 5 minutes, and another explosion sounded in front.

At this moment, Shao Zuo Qiushui couldn't stay still anymore, and cursed: "Baga, who can tell me how many landmines the Eighth Route Army has planted in front of us!"
