Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 90 No one is seen in life, no corpse is seen in death

The guard platoon took down a guard post and a patrol team of the Japanese army with lightning speed.The independent battalions removed by Wang Pingsan started to act in units of platoons.

Crackling gunshots quickly sounded around the Japanese garrison, but these gunshots lasted less than ten seconds before disappearing completely, as if the gunfight just now had never happened.

The commander of the Japanese army, Major Hamasaki, rushed out of the tent at the first time. His subconscious reaction was to order the artillery team to fire immediately.But before the four gunners had adjusted their mortars, the firing stopped.For a moment, everyone stared at Major Hamasaki, wondering if they should continue firing!
"Keep firing, three rapid-fire shots from each gun!" Major Hamasaki, who was cautious, ordered immediately.

Then he ordered the infantry squad leader around him: "Divide the troops into three, and each combat unit will bring a puppet army. Immediately reinforce the guard posts around us! Everyone remembers that our opponent, the Eighth Route Army, is very cunning, no matter who it is , you can’t even chase the Eighth Route Army who fled into the woods without authorization!”

Soon, Major Hamasaki saw that the attacking troops had returned intact!

Subconsciously, Major Hamasaki, who believed that the attacking force had successfully completed the task, had not had time to be happy, and the adjutant next to him reminded: "No, why didn't you hear the sound of firefighting just now! There are also guard posts and patrols, why didn't they come back together!"

Major Hamasaki did not speak, but stared at the approaching troops.

Soon, he also saw some clues.The assault troops who came back safely did not show the joy after winning the battle, and many people had a heavy expression on their faces.Not only that, but he also saw panic on some people's faces!
"What is it that can make the invincible imperial army panic!" Major Hamasaki frowned, thinking secretly in his heart.

Soon, a second lieutenant rushed over and reported: "Captain, are the guard posts and patrols we have deployed around missing?"

"Lost it?" Hamasaki asked in confusion.

"Hey, there are no people alive, no corpses when dead. Except for some blood, nothing was seen at the guard post!" The second lieutenant hurriedly told what he saw, and then he did not forget to add.

"Because you didn't let us pursue, Captain, we didn't follow the traces and bloodstains left by the enemy's retreat!"

Hamasaki didn't understand at this time, and cursed loudly: "Baga, the Eighth Route Army must have come out to attack us in the mountains, it must be like this!"

"Captain calm down, even if the Eighth Route Army attacks us, they don't need to take away the corpses of the warriors. I think we must find the corpses of the warriors and clarify the situation, otherwise it will definitely deal a big blow to the morale of the troops !” The adjutant next to him reminded in a low voice.

It wasn't until this moment that Hamasaki felt that the surrounding atmosphere was getting weird step by step.

At this time, the Japanese army was not afraid of death for their so-called emperor because they had been influenced by Bushido for a long time.But they also believe in Amaterasu. After dying in battle, as long as they can leave the whole body and send the ashes back to the country, their souls can go back and reunite with their families.If the bones cannot be found and sent back to the country, they will become lonely ghosts, wandering in foreign lands forever, and it is impossible to reunite with their families.

And what happened in front of them happened to be what they were most worried about.

Dozens of warriors disappeared for no reason and must have been killed.If their bodies cannot be found, it means that their souls will never be able to return to the country and be blessed by God Amaterasu!

The dozens of warriors in front of me disappeared for no reason, and even the corpses disappeared.Then when I am on guard and patrolling, will this also happen?Many Japanese soldiers became afraid of their future!

Hamasaki immediately saw what his subordinates were thinking, but when he thought that the Eighth Route Army might be waiting for him with a big net in the forest, as long as his subordinates entered the forest, they might never come out.Major Hamasaki shook his head subconsciously, denying the idea of ​​going into the mountains to find the corpse of the warrior in his heart.

Soon, the loss of the troops was counted, and a second lieutenant reported with a calm face: "Captain, all the seven outposts around the station were attacked, and three patrols were also attacked. Without exception, all of them disappeared. , a total of 23 warriors and 58 garrison soldiers were lost. In terms of equipment, there was a total loss of one crooked handle, one made in Czech, and 79 rifles!"

"Baga! In other words, we lost half of the infantry squad and half of the company's guard regiment soldiers for no reason without even seeing the enemy's shadow, and they disappeared without a trace, and we didn't even see the corpse! "

"Hey, all the soldiers who were attacked have disappeared!" Although it was hard to believe the weird results, the team leader still gave an affirmative answer!
"What about the shelling? Didn't our artillery counterattack kill a single attacker?" Hamasaki asked with a calm face.

The second lieutenant shook his head to say no, then lowered his head and said nothing, fearing that Hamasaki would vent his anger on himself!
At this time, the adjutant next to him had to stand up and remind him: "Captain, it will be dark in less than two hours, should we continue to send out guard posts and patrol troops? If not, the enemy may directly touch us It is very dangerous for us to launch an attack on the station!"

"Send, definitely send!" The cautious Major Hamasaki replied without thinking.

When Major Hamasaki stared at his subordinates, they seemed to want to negotiate a deal, and at the same time lowered their heads, not daring to look at Hamasaki.

Undoubtedly, none of them wanted to go on a security patrol. They were afraid that they would disappear without a trace like the 20 or more comrades in arms who could not see people alive or dead bodies.

In the end, Hamasaki could only focus on a few puppet soldiers, and then ordered with a calm face: "Commander Wang, today you take your soldiers to be responsible for patrolling around the barracks! Company Commander Zhou, take your subordinates to be in charge Take care of the captives and young adults in the stronghold, don't let them escape!"

"All the imperial army returned to the station to rest, but the heavy machine gun squad and the mortar squad must leave half of the warriors on duty. As long as the guard posts and patrol troops are attacked, immediately counterattack and repel the attackers!"

The two company commanders were very reluctant, but faced with Hamasaki's eyes that could almost kill people.Both of them knew that if they refused, they would touch Hamasaki's brow and cause Hamasaki's dissatisfaction.Given that Hamasaki usually acts very spicy, it is possible to chop off the heads of both of them on the spot with a command knife.

As a result, the two company commanders could only accept the order with a face full of helplessness, and then began to arrange troops.

In the woods, the guard platoon stopped before retreating too far after attacking the devil's post.

Several main platoons participating in the operation nearby gathered here one after another.

Soon, the results of the battle were counted in Wang Ping's hands.

In the independent battalion that participated in the operation, except for three people who were injured by the devil's counterattack shells because they did not retreat in time, no one died.As for the results of the battle, needless to say, it can be seen from the smiles on everyone's faces that they are very rich.

Sure enough, Wang Ping was very satisfied with the result of this sneak attack just by looking at the more than 20 devil corpses brought back by the soldiers one after another!
