Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 2348: Kill the Japanese reconnaissance team instantly!

boom! Boom boom!

A series of deafening explosions seemed like the collapse of the sky and the earth, instantly tearing apart the surrounding air. Flames shot up into the sky, illuminating the gloomy sky like daylight.

The Japanese tanks trembled and twisted in the endless explosions, and finally collapsed, turning into balls of burning scrap metal, with black smoke billowing into the sky.

The aftermath of the explosion was like a violent storm, sweeping across the surrounding land. Dust and rubble were thrown high up and then fell heavily, forming a chaotic battlefield.

The air was filled with pungent smell of gunpowder and burning, making people suffocate.

The Japanese soldiers following the tank were so frightened that dozens of them were either blown away or knocked to the ground by the sudden explosion.

The Japanese soldiers who were hit by the tank fragments were even more miserable. They either received their lunch boxes on the spot or were seriously injured and lay on the ground wailing.

The Japanese vanguard commanders began to try their best to stabilize their position, but in such a chaotic explosion, no one could do anything.

In this sudden explosion, the Japanese vanguard troops suffered unprecedented losses.

Only five of the fourteen tanks were still able to operate normally, and more than thirty Japanese vanguard troops accompanying the tanks were killed or wounded.

But soon, the Japanese began to make a comeback.

The only five remaining tanks retreated quickly, and the Japanese infantry began to divide into several groups and enter the woods.

Obviously, Kitahara Hiroyuki has realized the mistake he has just made.

He originally planned to use the chariots as cover and advance the infantry slowly.

But his enemies were well prepared and had laid mines on the path that the tanks had to take, causing heavy losses to the tank squadron and affecting his vanguard troops.

But Kitahara Hiroyuki can still afford this loss.

He immediately ordered the chariots to withdraw and directly pressed forward with the infantry.

But when the Japanese reached the woods, they found it very difficult to move forward.

They tried to maintain their formation, but the dense woods and harassment from the guerrillas made this difficult.

And they also have to be wary of booby traps.

The guerrillas not only buried anti-tank mines in the woods, but also laid booby traps targeting infantry.

The Japs stepped carefully on the fallen leaves and dead branches, fearing that they would go back and see their Amaterasu if they were not careful.

However, even with their caution, they could not completely avoid the booby traps under their feet and the guerrilla ambushes.

Although Ma Sanpao led few guerrillas, he had gradually mastered the essence of guerrilla warfare after a long period of fighting with Duanwu.

They would not gather together to fight the Japanese head-on, but would adopt a strategy of multiple teams or even single-person ambush.

They attacked the Japanese in units of one or two people and then retreated immediately.

In order to maintain their formation, the Japanese could only curse and watch the guerrillas run away after firing their guns.

Of course, there was another reason why they didn't pursue them, which was that they didn't know how many enemies they had and whether they would ambush them in the woods.

They had suffered such a loss in the previous battle with the guerrillas. The guerrillas' continuous sneak attacks on them angered the Japanese officers, who led their troops to pursue them, but were ambushed and annihilated.

There were countless such cases, and Kitahara Hiroyuki had been warning them that their enemies this time were different from the past. They had to be cautious.

So although the Japanese soldiers were very angry because they were shot and their companions died, no one dared to pursue them. They tried their best to stay together, as if they felt that this would give them a sense of security, and then slowly moved forward.

Of course, this is also a strategy of Hiroyuki Kitahara.

Kitahara Hiroyuki had the support of the Japanese troops who were outflanking him from both sides, so he was not in a hurry to wipe out the guerrillas all at once.

In his opinion, Chun Jianghao's main force had become meat on his chopping board.

But he didn't know that a plan to annihilate his western troops was quietly unfolding.

Kitahara Hiroyuki's force heading southwest consisted of only one squadron, with a total number of no more than 160 men.

They thought that it would be easy to encircle and annihilate the guerrillas, but they didn't know that Duanwu had accumulated nearly two hundred people on this side.

The main forces of the guerrillas are all here, just waiting for the Japanese to come to them.

The Japs were not all fools. After the Japanese second squadron detoured to the southwest of the woods, the Japanese squadron leader did not rashly lead his men into the woods.

He ordered a small infantry unit, about the size of a squad, to go into the woods for reconnaissance.

The Japanese sergeant in the lead was also very experienced. He dispersed the men, but only five meters apart, and then advanced forward side by side.

In this way, not only will it be difficult for the enemy to ambush them, but once they are ambushed, it will also be very convenient for them to run away.

But this is too insignificant for the Dragon Boat Festival.

He selected a platoon of new recruits and aimed at the twelve Japanese devils like targets.

Duanwu was watching from a distance and didn't feel as anxious as he had imagined. Even though the front battlefield was in chaos, he remained calm and composed.

This is a hunt, there is no rush.

The prey has not yet entered the trap, and rushing to drive it away will only backfire.

As time passed, all the Japanese were finally exposed to the guns of the guerrilla recruits.

Although these recruits are called new recruits, they have already fought in seven or eight battles.

They are no longer short of experience and are not so nervous when seeing the Japanese. The only thing they lack is skills, the skills to kill the Japanese.

The reason why they are not very good at shooting is that they simply don't have the time to practice.

In this case, Duanwu gave them a chance to practice. There were twelve Japanese devils in total, and there were thirty-four of them to share, which meant an average of three people to one Japanese devil. If they couldn't eliminate all of them within fifty meters, then Duanwu should really kick their asses hard.

  Bang bang bang!

Almost all the guerrillas fired at the same time. More than 30 bullets flew out of their guns at the same time and hit all the devils at the same time.

This scene is like a person holding a gun with more than thirty barrels in his hand, and then gently pulling the trigger, hitting twelve targets at the same time.

Before the gunshots died down, the Japanese soldiers seemed to be hit by an invisible hammer. Their bodies trembled violently and then became stiff and motionless.

The astonishment and fear on their faces had not yet completely solidified when the light of life had already dimmed.

They didn't even have the chance to make any sound, and like cut wheat, they fell heavily and slowly, one after another, in a pool of blood. Only the lingering smell of gunpowder and the whispers of death were left in the air.

The Japanese officer who saw this scene from a distance opened his eyes wide and looked in disbelief.

In an instant, his entire reconnaissance team was wiped out, and it seemed as if the other party had only fired one shot.

So what kind of terrifying existence is hidden in this forest? .
