Chapter 16 Little devil's vigilance!
As the special forces members expected, the Japanese and puppet troops who entered the mountain to search for it followed two lines of clear footprints, and before they could go far, they touched the stringed thunder. Soon, several Japanese and puppet troops who were actively chasing and suppressing them fell into a pool of blood.
The Japanese and puppet troops who were building a defensive formation at the foot of the mountain were busy cleaning up the end of the road while also paying attention to the pursuit in the mountains. When they heard the explosion, the soldiers who were staying at the foot of the mountain felt that the situation was not very good.
Fortunately, these people were also worried about the situation of the people who went up the mountain. However, with the final battle loss statistics, the losses in less than half an hour were beyond everyone's imagination.
It is not that the number of losses is a bit large, but more that the target of losses makes the Japanese and puppet troops feel distressed. In the previous highway harassment battle, the casualty rate of officers was even higher than that of soldiers, which is enough to show the accuracy of the opponent's shooting skills.
The Japanese lieutenant who temporarily served as the squadron leader looked at the report above and said with a gloomy expression: "Baga! How could this happen? Damn, these attackers are so hateful, you must catch them!"
Just as the Japanese lieutenant said this, a group of dusty soldiers quickly walked down from the foot of the mountain. One of the Japanese soldiers also said in frustration: "Lieutenant, the other party has walked too far, and we can no longer find the traces left by the other party!"
‘Hey! Can they fly? How could they not find their footprints?’
He said these questions with some anger, but the soldier quickly said: "Lieutenant, the other party has set up grenades in the jungle. When we chased along the footprints, many warriors were unfortunately hit by the mine and were blown up.
After several explosions, we could not find each other's traces and could only go down the mountain helplessly. Judging from the footprints we had previously discovered, there were only two murderers who attacked us this time. At this time, they were afraid that they would escape into the deep mountains!"
‘If you run into the mountains, won’t you chase after you?’
Facing the soldiers' answers, the lieutenant who temporarily served as the squadron leader seemed a little angry. But seeing the casualties who were carrying them down the mountain one after another, the lieutenant also knew that it was still very risky to send people into the mountain to search for two attackers.
Compared with the Japanese lieutenant, he paid more attention to the losses of his headquarters. Zhou Xinsheng, who also led his troops out of the city, also seemed very sad and angry. The reason was that several company commanders under him were killed and more puppet troops were killed and injured than the Japanese.
Although this situation is very common, for Zhou Xinsheng, the previous attack did shock him. If it weren't for the first shot, he would have blocked several confidants in front of him, and he would probably not have ended up being very wonderful.
‘What should I do if I do?’
The confidants around them seemed a little anxious when they saw this situation. Perhaps when they came out, they did not expect to be attacked by the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces on this road, and this kind of attack was indeed unpredictable.
Not long after, Zhou Xinsheng, who came to the lieutenant, also said respectfully: "Taijun, what should we do next? Should we continue to go to Wangguan Town, or withdraw back to the city now?"
‘Retreat! Can’t withdraw. I have a premonition that these sneak attackers who attacked us were deliberately delaying our time and buying time for their main force to transfer materials. Therefore, we must speed up the marching.
Zhou, order your troops to open the way and rush to Wangguan Town as fast as possible. Once you find the traces of the main forces of the Anti-Japanese United Army, immediately pursue and bite them. You can't let them transfer their supplies into the mountains. Do you understand?'
‘I understand, Taijun!’
After receiving this answer, even though Zhou Xinsheng wanted to lead other officers and soldiers back to the city, he knew what he had to do. Although he, the battalion commander, was awarded the rank of a major by the Japanese army, no one in the Japanese had missed him.
Even an ordinary Japanese soldier can be arrogant in front of him, the Imperial Army Major. Not to mention, the lieutenant in front of him is already the acting squadron leader of the Japanese squadron.
If you really don’t listen to this lieutenant, you’ll probably be shot to death by the angry Japanese. These days, it’s very common for Japanese Japanese to suffer losses to find the officers and soldiers of the Imperial Army to vent their anger, and it’s not uncommon!
Just as the quelling troops heading to Wangguan Town continued to set off, the reconnaissance team members who were scouting in front also smiled and said, "Okay, just keep on going. I'm still worried that those two guys will scare these people back to the city!"
For the ten operating team members who left the city, what they had to do was very simple, that was to delay the time for these troops leaving the city to return to the city. Try to delay them until dawn tomorrow before returning to the city.
The intention of doing this is naturally to give Hu Youliang the opportunity to the action teams who stay in the city. Hu Youliang's determined attack time is tonight. After all, it's easy to do things when it's dark!
When the Japanese and puppet troops who left the city arrived in Wangguan Town, they no longer had the arrogance they had when they left the city. When they arrived at the town office, many Japanese and puppet troops seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, as if they were scared by the previous harassment.
The people in the town who were also waiting for these troops to arrive, saw these Japanese and puppet troops who were depressed and even brought many dead and injured soldiers over, and secretly speculated that these people were afraid of being attacked on the road.
Several officials in the government office who survived the disaster in the town were found, and the Japanese lieutenant also began to investigate the losses in Wangguan Town last night. As for Zhou Xinsheng at this time, even if he wanted to go home, he could only continue to accompany him here.
When Zhou Xinsheng heard that his family's money and food were looted and even captured many armed servants by the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces, he also seemed very worried. But at the same time, he also knew that the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces did not harm other members of his family.
With the detailed investigation report from the security officer of the town office, the Japanese lieutenant also had a little more understanding of the attack last night. To his surprise, many villagers did not hear gunshots during the Anti-Japanese United Army attack last night!
‘You mean, last night the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces bandits attacked the village, and no one in the village heard the gunshots?’
‘Yes, Taijun! According to our inquiry, many people did not hear the gunshots of the attack last night. It was only when the Anti-Japanese United Army was transporting supplies that many villagers knew that something had happened in those people’s homes.
According to the reports of these villagers, at least nearly a thousand anti-Japanese forces came to the town last night. At dawn, they also captured many young and strong people from the town to transport supplies into the mountains. At this time, the town could no longer find their traces.’
‘What about your town office guards last night?’
Compared with the guards of these landlords and old treasurers, the landlords need to pay for it out of their own pocket. The Japanese army also formed an armed guard in these town offices to patrol and guard the town. The combat effectiveness of this army is not bad.
Of course, this difference is only relative to the Anti-Japanese United Army. Compared with the Japanese army providing weapons, ammunition and organizational training for the guards of the town office, many Anti-Japanese United Army troops are not even equipped with guns, and their combat effectiveness is higher!
‘Last night, the town office was also looted, and all the guards on duty were killed. The rest of the people were dragged into the mountains by those people. Some of the money we placed in the warehouse were also looted by them.’
Although they knew that this news would annoy the Japanese in front of them, the security guards of these town offices still dared not hide anything. In short, yesterday was undoubtedly a bloody and unfortunate night for the entire Wangguan Town.
But for the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces officers and soldiers who are still transferring materials in the mountains at this moment, this is a rare and festive day. The materials and weapons and ammunition seized last night can solve many problems that the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces face urgently.
Even looking at the list provided by the commander of the army, Yang Jingyu smiled and said, "Okay! With these weapons and ammunition, all of our new recruits can use weapons. The seized food is enough for us to stay in the mountains for a few more months."
Yang Jingyu, who has heard about the situation last night, also truly understands that Hu Youliang, a small army, is afraid that there are no troops under his command that can be compared with the matter of materials and sneak attacks.
If such a unit is in trouble with the Japanese outside, I believe it can share a lot of pressure for them. Even some of the things needed for the future development of the Anti-Japanese United Nations can be obtained through continuous payment.
Without guns and cannons, the enemy will make it for us! Without food and clothing, we will rob it from the Japanese and the landlords and old treasures. As long as there are enough guns, bullets, food and supplies, the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces will be reborn again.
Thinking of this, Yang Jingyu once again felt deeply that with the help of the headquarters, they will truly take the wings of taking off!
When the Japanese and puppet troops who arrived in Wangguan Town began to investigate the situation last night, the sky undoubtedly gradually darkened, which also means that the troops leaving the city would have to spend the night in Wangguan Town unless they really planned to march at night.
But for these Japanese and puppet troops, the daytime harassment made them seem very scared. When they walk at night, they are afraid that they will not know how to die. The elusive enemy really made them extremely worried.
Even after examining the bodies of the dead last night, the Japanese lieutenant said with confidence: "Many of these dead died of gunshot wounds and arrows. Such a move is something we have never been exposed to before.
This also shows that the attackers last night should not be the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces, or they may have a good relationship with the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces. This situation must be reported to the garrison officer as soon as possible and let them prepare early!"
I have to say that the Japanese officers' officers are still very good. Unfortunately, the letters he sent to send the next day were probably not accepted. Even after one night, Mengjiang City became the focus of the entire Kwantung Army.
As night fell, how could Hu Youliang and others who had already entered the city with weapons, let the Japanese soldiers in the city sleep soundly? For Hu Youliang and others, they would next use their ability to act to attract the attention of all the Japanese soldiers here.
As long as the Japanese army in Changbai Mountain area knows the pain and fear, they will inevitably increase their strength to search the operation team. In this way, the Anti-Japanese United Army troops who are resting in the mountains at that time will have more opportunities to take action.
