Rise From Eight Hundred

Chapter 188 Cowardice is not a mistake

Tianma Mountain, located 11 kilometers southwest of Songjiang, was called Ganshan in ancient times. Legend has it that the Wu general Gan forged a sword here in the Spring and Autumn Period.

This mountain is different from the gentle mountains usually seen in Jiangnan. Instead, it is steep. The ridgeline of the mountain is in the east-west direction. The shape of the mountain is like a flying horse, so it is also named Tianma Mountain.

There are two peaks on the mountain, both of which are subtropical broad-leaved forests. The mountains are densely forested. The highest peak is 98 meters above sea level. The simple road passes through the canyon between the two peaks. If someone ambushes here, it is definitely a good place.

The tarpaulins of ten trucks have been opened long ago. Each car is about 30 meters apart. The engine roared, and they passed through the simple road between the two mountains without hesitation, and drove into the depths of the hills under the leadership of the Tang Dao head car.

However, everyone's nerves were involuntarily tense.

It was not because of the Japanese army chasing hard behind them, but because the unusually quiet forests on both sides made these veterans feel uneasy instinctively.

It was as if there were a pair of eyes staring at them in the dark.

Perhaps, there were more than one pair of eyes.

The soldier's intuition was correct.

On the two sides of the mountainside, which no one could see, more than 300 pairs of eyes were looking at them from the gaps between the dead branches and fallen leaves.

Of course, the most terrifying thing was not the cold eyes, but the black muzzles of the camouflaged guns.

Although the ten trucks had deliberately kept their distance, they still tragically fell into the ambush circle that the soldiers had obviously prepared in advance.

As long as there was an order, at least more than 300 guns would fire hot bullets.

The strong killing intent stimulated the veterans in the car to stand on end, and they could not help but point the muzzles of their guns at the two sides of the mountainside.

The veterans instinctively felt the danger, and Tang Dao could naturally sense it, but he had a calm face, still drove the car steadily, and continued to move forward.

He was betting that his memory was not wrong, and that the lieutenant colonel of the army could contact the troops around Tianma Mountain.

Before he set out, he had actually told the lieutenant colonel of the target he was going to reach.

Now there was an ambush on the mountainside, at least he had made the right bet, the troop that had fought here should have received the order to pick him up.

However, Tang Dao also had to bet that the commander of that troop had enough courage. Even if all the people in the car had already changed into the dark blue uniforms of the Central Army, these did not necessarily prove that they were his own people.

Even if he asked everyone to shout in various dialects, it might increase the other party's suspicion. Traitors are not rare in China.

Fortunately, Tang Dao made the right bet. He dared to ambush in the mountains and forests at such a time to pick up his friendly commander, which was courageous enough.

Watching Tang Dao's convoy swaggering away from the ambush circle until it stopped at the end of the bend in the mountain road, the man who had been hiding his eyes behind the telescope was relieved.

He was also betting that the ten cars were his own people he was waiting for. Now it seems that his bet was right.

If they stop, they must be his own people. The Japanese would not do this, they would just leave faster.

On the mountain road, the soldiers who jumped out of the trucks began to build various field positions frantically, and the soldiers carrying submachine guns and machine guns also began to occupy the high ground on both sides.

Obviously, their target was also the larger Japanese convoy behind.

Two Japanese Type 94 armored vehicles roared to the mountain pass, with the muzzles of the two machine guns pointed upwards vigilantly, and several three-wheeled motorcycles following behind also stopped.

The roar of the dozen trucks that followed startled the birds, and the dozen machine guns mounted on the front of the trucks were daunting.

This is what the real Japanese army should look like. The soldiers in black uniforms lying in the dead branches and broken leaves on the mountainside looked solemn, but they did not show fear because of the powerful attack of the Japanese army.

Toyota Hide jumped out of the car and looked at the forest like a sleeping giant beast. His face was very ugly. Before entering the mountain, he had received a call back from Colonel Nakagawa Hiroshi. Tianma Mountain was the last bottom line of his pursuit. The war on the front line was tight. The main force of the Imperial Army was guarding against the counterattack of the Chinese and could not withdraw troops to support him.

But he could only embrace a brave heart. The Chinese rubbed the 36th Infantry Regiment several times on the way to escape.

Toyota Hide knew the consequences of not being able to kill them. The ending would be worse than the predetermined one. If he wanted to change this ending, he could only catch up with them and kill them.

So, even if the gate of hell was in front of him, he had to go in.

"The whole army should be alert! Motorcycles should search and move forward first, and each car should keep a distance! Continue to pursue." Toyota Hide, who had prepared himself mentally, finally gave the order.

But this time he was careful. He did not sit in the third car he had sat in before, but sat in the second to last car. Once he encountered a dying counterattack from the opponent, he could command from the rear without facing danger. Even if the war was really urgent, he could retreat first.

The Japanese lieutenant colonel who had suffered in the Battle of Sihang not only lost his former arrogance, but also learned to prepare for the worst.

The formation of two Type 94 armored vehicles and more than a dozen large vehicles stretched for more than 300 meters, like a giant snake winding in the mountains. Several motorcycles used for reconnaissance had gone deep into the mountains, and the last vehicle had just entered the mountain pass.

After entering the forest for more than 100 meters, Toyota Hide's originally uneasy heart was relieved. The Chinese who lost the fortress were not as brave as he imagined. They only dared to flee desperately. How could they have the courage to fight back?

Although in his opinion, this mountain is the best counterattack position, if it were him, he would definitely use the mountain terrain here to make a comeback.

Toyota Hide must regret his crow brain.

As soon as this thought came to mind, gunshots rang out.

But what really made him shudder and want to turn around and leave was not the terrifying "bang bang" muffled sound from the front. Although the Su Luotong machine gun was terrible, it was still a cannon with a limited firing rate. The 400 imperial warriors who jumped off the car rushed in from the mountains on both sides. What else could he do?

Moreover, the infantry guns and grenade launchers he carried were not vegetarians. Don't let the artillery find his position. If they find him, they can still blow him up.

This time, they didn't have a strong bunker like the Sihang Warehouse to protect them.

What scared the Japanese major was that the gunshots on the two wings of the mountain were like popping beans. Even though the gunshots were not dense, 95% of them were rifles, and the sound of machine guns that could fire continuously was rarely heard.

This was definitely not the group of Chinese who were chasing.

But this is what the Japanese lieutenant colonel felt most afraid of.

The biggest reason why he dared to pursue at the risk of his life was that his troops far exceeded those of his opponent.

But this has already shown that the opponent's troops are also increasing significantly, so what's the point of fighting!

"Counterattack!" Toyota Hide rolled out of the co-pilot's seat and rushed to both sides of the mountain road.

The reaction of the Japanese infantry was actually much faster than that of their acting regiment commander. From the first gunshot, the car had not stopped yet, and the Japanese infantry jumped out of the car one after another and desperately drilled under various natural shelters at the foot of the mountain.

Perhaps, since entering Tianma Mountain, these Japanese infantrymen who had experienced the battle of Sihang Warehouse and had the mentality of "cowardice is not wrong" had already made enough plans to jump out of the car and evade at any time!

"Detonate! Blow up his son!" A roar sounded on the mountain.

The Japanese soldiers who knew a little Chinese were almost scared to death.

What does it mean? Explosives are buried on the mountain road?

The explosive warfare that Tang Dao loved to use in the Sihang Station really left a deep psychological shadow on the remnants of the 36th Infantry Regiment.

Fortunately, the Chinese soldiers ambushed here obviously haven't learned that trick yet.

They didn't bury the limited explosives on the mountain road, but on the mountain.

At this time, it was dawn. Although the visibility in the mountain was still poor, it was still possible to see about 30 to 40 meters away.

In the horrified eyes of the Japanese army, several balls of fire exploded on the mountainside about 30 meters above the mountain road, and five or six rocks as big as houses were blown up...

Then, it was shaky.

In fact, the forest here is dense enough, even if it is a stone as big as a millstone, it is not easy to roll down like this because of the dense trees and shrubs.

But, what is bigger than several millstones added together? And what is bigger than the front of a truck?

The Japanese army cried!

The Chinese are so damn bad!

PS: It's not easy. It took 460,000 words to get on Sanjiang. Is there anything worse than Feng Yue? In the new week, everyone vote! Recommendation tickets and monthly tickets are all fine. It would be better if there are rewards. If nothing else, even if it fails, I still want to have some face. (Stubborn face)
