The Japanese brigade commander didn't bother to wait for the superiors' reply. Now the bombers and powerful bombs of the Taohuashan guerrillas have helped them make the decision.

They immediately ordered the troops to change to the front team, return the same way, and run into the forest.

The Japanese brigade commander looked at the towering trees surrounding the sky, and then felt at ease. At this moment, the superior's telegram sent over and agreed to them to change the marching route.

After rest and recuperation, the 279th Japanese Brigade continued to march. They crossed the mountains and ridges and rushed slowly in the dense forest.

The reconnaissance team of the Taohuashan Guerrillas was still closely monitoring their actions and reported to Gao Jiu at any time.

According to the report of the reconnaissance team, Gao Jiu checked the map and determined the marching route of the Japanese reinforcements.

The marching routes chosen by the Japanese army were basically in dense forests, and it was very difficult to carry out air strikes on them here, but there was not a chance.

After carefully checking the map, he replied to the reconnaissance team.

For two days, the 279th Brigade of the Japanese army was not bombed by enemy planes, and the brigade commander finally relaxed. At this time, the vanguard troops in front reported that they had to pass the Pava Valley in front, where the river was very deep and the water flowed fast. If the bridge was not built, they could not cross the river.

If you want to wading across the river, you must march 33 kilometers downstream, where there is a shallow where the troops can cross the river.

The Chief of Staff carefully looked at the map and found that there was an open area of ​​more than 3 kilometers in the shallows. It would take at least two hours for the Japanese army to cross the river to pass through this open area here.

He said with some concern: "Master of the Brigade, our troops will still be exposed to an open area from the downstream crossing the river. If the enemy comes to bomb again, it will definitely cause serious losses."

The brigade commander also looked at the map carefully and said, "It won't be that coincidental, right?"

The Chief of Staff said: "It is not a coincidence that our actions must have been under the surveillance of the enemy, otherwise we would not have been bombed by the enemy last time. I am sure that as long as our troops appear at the wading site, they will definitely be attacked by the enemy."

The brigade commander thought about it and said, "There is no other way now. The troops must cross the river from the downstream. We can use the method of crossing the river in batches. Even if enemy planes come to bomb, the losses will be very small."

The Chief of Staff thought the brigade commander made sense, and he said: "The brigade commander is wise. This time we arrange troops to cross the river, and only send a squadron-sized unit at a time. A large number of enemy planes follow us, and no major casualties will be caused. I believe that after this time, the enemy will probably not come to bomb again. I don't believe how long they can do this loss-making business."

Hearing the Chief of Staff’s compliment, the Brigade Commander laughed a little proudly, and he said, “Immediately order the troops to move forward in the downstream.”

After a difficult march in the dense forest, the Japanese army finally arrived at the downstream traversing site. The water here is wide, with the deepest depth of only more than 40 cm. The Japanese vanguard, an infantry squadron, first tried to cross the river.

The Japanese officers and soldiers held guns and crossed the river while carefully observing around. There was dense vegetation in front of them, and they could not see anything.

Just as the Japanese officers and soldiers walked to the middle of the river, they suddenly shot dense bullets from the dense grass on the other side of the river. More than a dozen Japanese soldiers fell into the river on the spot, and the rest of the Japanese officers and soldiers retreated back to the other side of the river in panic.

The brigade commander held a telescope and carefully observed the other side of the river. He saw the enemy's movement in the bushes opposite, and immediately ordered the artillery to bomb the other side.

The Japanese artillery set up artillery, calculated the shooting of the corpses and prepared to fire the artillery. However, at this time they could no longer see the enemy and could only blindly launch artillery to the place where the enemy had just appeared.

After the violent shelling, there was no effect, but the tranquility of the valley was restored. The brigade commander believed that the enemy might have been scared away, so he ordered an infantry squadron to cross the river again.

The Japanese officers and soldiers looked around carefully with guns, preparing to fight back immediately once they discovered the enemy's attack.

These Japanese officers and soldiers were very nervous. They were looking forward to the bombardment just now, and they really drove away the enemy troops coming to attack. They hoped that Aunt Tian Zhao would bless them and not be attacked by the enemy again.

However, Aunt Tian Zhao was not effective. When the Japanese soldiers wade into the middle of the river, several Japanese soldiers lay silently in the river.

Without gunfire, the Japanese officers and soldiers kept falling down.

The Japanese soldiers were also very experienced, and they shouted in horror: "There are enemy snipers."

They were right, the Taohua Mountain guerrillas had just deliberately exposed their positions and lured the enemy to bombard them.

They had already dispersed to other places before the enemy was bombarded, and each found favorable terrain to hide. When the Japanese army crossed the river again, they each fought and used sniper rifles with silencers in their hands to harvest the lives of the Japanese officers and soldiers.

The Japanese officers and soldiers were unable to move in the river, and they were purely living targets. The snipers of the guerrillas seized the time and shot continuously. In a very short period of time, a Japanese infantry squadron was reimbursed half.

The remaining Japanese soldiers ran back desperately, but no matter how fast they ran, they could not catch up with the bullets of the sniper rifle. By the time the Japanese soldiers ran back to the river bank, there were less than 20 people left.

"Eight Yaru, eight Yaru." The Japanese brigade commander roared angrily. After roaring, he raised his telescope again to observe. What caught his eye was the dense bushes and thatch, and he could see nothing.

He has rich combat experience and knows that in this case, he has no choice but to use the enemy's snipers. If he forcibly sent soldiers to cross the river, he still doesn't know how many casualties are.

The Chief of Staff was also thinking of countermeasures, and he suggested: "Your Excellency the Brigade Commander, you can no longer send troops to force cross the river. I suggest sending two small troops to find another place to cross the river in the upper and lower reaches, and then encircle the enemy troops across the river. After the enemy troops on the other side is eliminated or driven away, the large troops will cross the river again."

The brigade commander nodded and said, "I'm afraid that's the only way. I ordered the troops to rest on site and ordered the Yamaguchi Wing to send two infantry squadrons to detour across the river to eliminate the enemy snipers on the other side."

The Japanese army temporarily stopped crossing the river, but the Taohuashan guerrillas on the other side were not idle. They unloaded 107mm rockets from the horse's back, moved a few stones, set the rockets on them, and fired them directly.

More than a dozen rockets flew over, causing considerable casualties to the Japanese army. One of them landed not far from the Japanese brigade commander, killing his adjutant and several guards.

The brigade commander had no choice but to order the troops to retreat again and enter the dense forest behind.

On the other side of the river, a team of the Taohua Mountain Guerrillas blocked the Japanese army. There were more than 40 members. They were all veterans who had experienced many battles. They had long thought of what the enemy could think of.

They guessed that the enemy would definitely send troops to attack them bypass, so they sent two squads of soldiers to serve as alert on both sides.

A squadron of Japanese troops found a relatively shallow water level upstream to cross the river. The river water here was still at a certain depth. The Japanese officers and soldiers went into the water to try it. The river water had already passed their waists, and the river water here was flowing faster, so people were a little unsteady in the river.

In order to ensure that the river was not washed away, the soldiers untied their leggings and tied them around their waists with ropes so that if someone fell, others could pull him up quickly.

In this way, the Japanese soldiers tied each other into the river one by one.

The guerrillas lying on the river bank showed contemptuous smiles, and they once again launched an attack on the Japanese army with sniper rifles.

Japanese soldiers kept falling down. The Japanese soldiers hurriedly wanted to escape back to the other side of the river in horror, but they were tied up by ropes. As the saying goes, no one could escape the grasshoppers on a rope, and soon they were shot dead in the river by guerrilla snipers.

The encounter between the Japanese infantry squadron of the downstream trying to cross the river was basically the same. In this way, the Japanese army had no choice but to sigh in front of the river, and there was no way to do so.

The Japanese brigade commander had no choice but to report the situation here to his superiors again and wait for his superiors' instructions.

The guerrilla team leader saw that the Japanese army had no movement for a long time, so he decided to take the initiative to attack and give the Japanese a little color. He left most of the guerrillas on the other side of the river, and led a squad of guerrillas to walk upstream of the river. They walked about 3 kilometers upstream and then crossed the river.

The guerrillas who crossed the river touched the direction of the Japanese army's large army. They were wearing camouflage uniforms and were difficult to detect in the dense forest. The Japanese army's yellow uniforms were easy to distinguish. Soon after, the guerrillas discovered the traces of the Japanese army, and then they began to launch sneak attacks on the Japanese army.

The Japanese army did not expect that the enemy would come here to attack them. They were caught off guard and more than a dozen soldiers were injured and injured on the spot.

However, the Japanese commander was very experienced. He quickly determined that the enemy's troops were not large, and they should be small groups of enemy snipers. They immediately dispatched two infantry squadrons, and the soldiers scattered and rushed towards the direction of the guerrilla attack.

The commandos hid in the jungle, wearing camouflage uniforms, and the sniper rifle in their hands was equipped with silencers. Their movements were almost silent, and it was difficult for the enemy to find them. However, it was difficult for the Japanese officers and soldiers to hide their figures and were knocked to the ground one by one by one by the guerrillas.

The Japanese officers and soldiers could not see the enemy or hear the gunshots, and were knocked to the ground one by one. In their eyes, the dense forest in front seemed like a monster, with bloody mouths open and swallowed them at any time.

The soldiers were all very scared. Although they did not retreat, they only dared to lie on the ground and even dared to fire their guns, for fear that the enemy would find their traces.

Seeing this situation, the guerrilla team leader decided to take the method of driving rabbits to move the Japanese soldiers.

So they used a mortar he brought to launch a shelling attack on the Japanese army in front.

Sure enough, many Japanese soldiers who were bombarded became panic and began to flee backwards. Their figures were once again exposed to the muzzle of the Taohuashan guerrilla sniper rifle, and many more soldiers were knocked to the ground.

The Japanese officers and soldiers could not bear such a terrifying and hopeless battle, and they began to retreat. But they did not dare to stand up and escape, but slowly climbed back on the ground towards the direction of their origin.

After driving away the enemy troops here, the team leader still felt unsatisfied, so he took the special forces members around to attack the Japanese army.

After walking through the dense forest for a while, the special forces team found traces of the enemy in the dense forest. The team leader saw a large group of Japanese officers and soldiers sitting on the grass in front of them, setting up a radio station on a rock, and there were several Japanese officers sitting next to the radio station.

After picking up the telescope and observing carefully, he found that there was a Japanese major general among the Japanese army. There was no doubt that he was the commander of the Japanese brigade, because there was only one major general in one of the Japanese brigades.

The team leader was overjoyed when he saw such a prey. He raised his sniper rifle, held his breath, carefully aimed at the Japanese brigade commander, and gently pulled off the trigger.

The Japanese brigade commander was talking to the chief of staff, and at this time he was facing away from the squad leader. In order to show his respect for the brigade commander, the chief of staff was always looking at the brigade commander when he spoke.

After a long time, he felt a little tired of his eyes and blinked from time to time.

When he blinked again, he found that a blood hole suddenly appeared on the brigade commander in front of him. He was shocked and forgot to hide for a moment.

When he realized that it was the enemy's sniper shooting and was about to lie on the ground to avoid it, it was too late. A bullet shot into his back and drilled out of his chest. He looked at the blood spurted out of his chest in disbelief, rolled his eyes, and lay on the ground.

The guerrilla team leader knew that he had stabbed the hornet's nest this time. After he fired the gun, he immediately took the guerrillas to evacuate the same route without hesitation.

The brigade commander and the chief of staff were killed one after another, and the Japanese officers and soldiers who were on the cover mission went crazy. They howled and rushed in the direction where the bullets were shot, hoping to catch the abominable attackers and avenge the brigade commander and the chief of staff.
