Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 2163 The deadly tiger skin ditch!

In the vast land within Dashan Bay, the war has spread like a prairie fire.

Endless smoke billowed up, almost covering the entire sky.

On the battlefield, firelight and gunpowder smoke intertwined, and the intensive gunshots were like frying beans.

The bullet streaked through the air, causing dazzling sparks as it rubbed against the air.

The explosion of the artillery shells was deafening, and every explosion was accompanied by violent shaking of the earth.

The smell of blood and the smell of scorched earth are intertwined, stimulating the taste buds of everyone's terminal nerves.

At this time, almost everyone was numb, whether they were guerrillas or Japanese soldiers. There was only one thought left in their minds, which was to shoot out the bullets or artillery shells in the guns as quickly as possible.

Every inch of the land in Dashanwan was stained red with blood, and the fighting was as brutal as the flesh-and-blood mill of Stalingrad, like a doomsday scene.

The Chunjiang Hao guerrillas suffered nearly 200 casualties in this battle, and the Japs were naturally more numerous. At least 700 to 800 people were wiped out in this battle.

Dragon Boat Festival led the troops to retreat, while the little Japanese were chasing after them.

The old devil Sato has made a desperate move. This time he will destroy the good guerrillas of Chunjiang no matter how high the price is.

Although they still have less than 2,000 troops, they also have some baggage troops and artillery troops with relatively low combat effectiveness.

But they still have an absolute advantage in numbers.

As for the puppet troops brought out from Lushunkou, they were all wiped out long ago.

Therefore, since the beginning of the battle, the total number of Japanese casualties has reached an astonishing more than 2,000 people.

The Japs must have suffered a big loss this time, otherwise a few old Japs wouldn't have gone crazy chasing Chunjiang's good guerrillas.

However, the more fiercely the Japs pursue and fight, the easier it becomes for Duanwu to use tricks. On the contrary, just like the Japs' steady attack before, Duanwu feels that he has no way to start.

The Japanese are not moving and are huddled in their shells. Are they going to fight offensively and defensively with the Japanese? What's the difference between that and courting death?

Just like this time, the guerrillas occupied the terrain of Dashanwan, but they also failed to defeat the Japanese.

The Japanese are not afraid of positional warfare at all. If the guerrillas dare to fight in Dashanwan, they will be happy.

But Dragon Boat Festival cannot win out everyone here.

Guerrilla fighters are not weak, they just need time to train.

If Dragon Boat Festival had two months to train, the battle in Dashanwan would never be what it is now.

Therefore, the Dragon Boat Festival could only retreat while fighting, leading the Japanese into the Hupigou area.

The Hupigou area is a long and narrow valley with undulating mountains on both sides and steep slopes, while the valley bottom is relatively flat, but full of tall trees.

Due to the humid climate in the valley, the trees here are very tall.

So this terrain seems suitable for an ambush, but in fact it is basically impossible to ambush. Even if the guerrillas occupied the highlands on both sides of Hupigou, the trees below would provide natural protection to the Japanese.

Moreover, Hupi Valley is very large, with the widest part of the valley being more than two kilometers. It is simply not feasible to occupy the terrain for an ambush.

Only the exit of Hupigou is narrow and can be used.

But Dragon Boat Festival would not do this. What Dragon Boat Festival did was to take advantage of the natural advantages in Hupigou to hunt the Japanese in the woods.

There are more than a dozen people in the guerrillas who were born as hunters, and one of them lives in a village on the east side of Hupigou.

He knows Hupigou very well and often follows hunters to hunt in Hupigou.

And why is Hupigou called Hupigou? That's because there were tigers here before.

Hunters often hunted in groups, skinned tigers and sold them, hence the name Hupigou. But precisely because of this, there are no tigers in Hupigou at this time, and Hupigou has only an empty name.

However, some hunters still like to hunt some game here and leave a lot of traps.

These traps are in standby mode when hunters are not hunting. The first reason is to prevent people from falling into the traps by mistake. The second reason is that if there is no time to hunt, the traps will keep running even if the prey is caught, it will just rot in the traps.

So unless hunters are ready to hunt, it is safe to enter this forest.

But today is different, because the devils are here, not only are all the hunting traps opened, but many new traps have also been added.

The Japs' vanguard team first encountered an ambush when chasing into Hupigou, and soon lost sight of the enemy.

They divided into two groups and chased in the jungle. At this moment, a Japanese soldier stepped on the air and was immediately pulled away by a rope.

The Japanese soldier screamed in terror, and his companions hurried after him.

But when they arrived, it was already too late. The Japanese was knocked down in the air and his body had been pierced by a sharp arrow.

This is a chain trap. When someone triggers the trap, the rope will wrap around the other person's feet and hang him to a distant tree.

And its power is a large stone weighing more than two hundred kilograms.

The stone fell to the ground, and the prey had been hoisted into the air. At this moment, the mechanism on the opposite side was triggered, shooting out a bow and arrow, killing the prey with one blow.

Of course, the bows and arrows are not sophisticated bows and arrows, but rough bows and arrows made of bamboo blanks, with an effective range of no more than twenty meters.

But it is enough to deal with the prey that is already hanging on the tree seven or eight meters away.

The Japanese were surprised when they saw him.

The Japanese officer leading the team even said: "This is a hunter's trap, let's be careful."

At this time, a Japanese soldier said: "Tanaka is still hanging on it, should we untie him?"

The Japanese officer thought for a while. If it were him, he wouldn't want to be hung on a tree and exposed.

What's more, now that the traces of the guerrillas have been lost, it is better to go back first with Tanaka's body.

So he ordered the Japanese soldiers to untie the rope and put Tanaka down.

But at this moment, a Japanese soldier just wanted to walk over, but suddenly his feet gave way and he fell into a deep pit.

He screamed in horror, but his body sank involuntarily, and then there was a sound of cracking, followed by the Japanese scream.

The other Japs hurriedly stepped forward to take a look, but they were so frightened that they took a breath of cold air.

The person who fell was trapped by more than a dozen sharpened bamboos, which had become a hornet's nest.

An inexplicable fear began to spread among all the Japanese.

They didn't even see the enemy, so they handed over two people one after another.

One of the Japanese soldiers retreated in fear, only to be tripped by something unknown.

Before he could understand what was going on, a stone weighing more than a hundred kilograms fell from the tree and hit him directly on the head.

puff!

The devil's head was smashed so hard that it exploded like a watermelon, and dead bodies and rocks fell heavily to the ground.

At this time, it was quiet, so quiet that all the Japanese didn't dare to move for a while.

Because the whole jungle is too dangerous, full of human-eating traps! .
