Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 2701 Fat meat delivered to your door!

After receiving Ma Hu's report, Duanwu immediately made his own judgment.

He ordered Ma Hu's troops to split into two groups, with one group traveling light and quickly heading to the Hukou outpost for a detailed reconnaissance, making sure to grasp the exact situation there, including the enemy's deployment, number of people, and the specific locations of Markov and Vladimir.

Ma Hu personally led the team to find out the intentions of the suspected Japanese army, their specific strength, etc.

But in fact, Duanwu already had some guesses in his mind at this time.

The troops that moved towards Kaoshantun late at night must be the Japanese.

Because only the Japs would have, or could make, such a move at this time.

Their purpose is naturally very simple, which is to rescue and investigate the whereabouts of Kujo Miyakita.

Kujo Miyakita is a great Japanese noble. Even if Duanwu uses his knees to think, he knows the status of this Japanese in the Japanese army.

So if the other party is the Japanese, they have only one target, and that is Kujo Miyakita.

However, the exact number of Japanese soldiers was unknown, so he could not move.

So Duanwu ordered Chunjianghao's second team to stay on standby while he waited for news from Ma Hu.

At the same time, after receiving Duanwu's order, Ma Hu immediately began to deploy according to Duanwu's instructions.

Ma Hu personally led a team of three people, carrying a radio, to investigate the unknown armed forces. Another team of three people also continued to head to the Japs' Tiger Mouth Outpost.

Time passed minute by minute, and it took Ma Hu nearly twenty minutes to hide himself in the path that the unidentified armed forces must pass.

Ma Hu used a telescope to observe carefully and found that it was indeed a Japanese army.

In front of them were nearly three hundred puppet soldiers, and behind them was a battalion of Japanese infantry.

They were not carrying any heavy weapons and were traveling light, apparently in a hurry to go somewhere.

Of course, Ma Hu guessed that they were heading towards Kaoshantun.

Ma Hu immediately reported the situation to Duan Wu. Duan Wu smiled slightly. He was still thinking about how to break the situation, but he didn't expect the devil to really give him a chance.

First, a second-generation rich man came to Kaoshantun to do some biochemical experiments, and then a stupid commander sent a battalion of Japanese infantry to investigate.

If he doesn't eat the fat meat right in front of his mouth, he would be really sorry to these Japanese devils.

Therefore, Duanwu prepared to immediately mobilize the one-eyed dragon's black-clad troops to cooperate in this battle.

But at this moment, One-Eyed Dragon brought news that there were traces of Japanese activities in the area north of Phoenix City.

Obviously, the Japanese were not really stupid and they knew how to contain the anti-Japanese brigade.

And the facts also proved the importance of Duanwu's transfer of the black troops to the north of Phoenix City.

Duanwu ordered the black-clad troops to keep a close eye on the movements of the devils and not to take the initiative to attack, but they could ambush and set traps for the devils.

If an exchange of fire occurs between the two sides, the Japanese must not be allowed to approach Phoenix City before dawn, and a message must be sent to Phoenix City immediately, asking it to prepare for evacuation, especially the arsenal.

After giving the order, Duanwu had to consider assembling Chunjianghao's team as well.

Chunjiang's team had suffered heavy casualties in previous battles, with nearly three hundred people lost directly due to deaths, injuries, poisoning, etc.

So Duanwu’s original plan was to let Team One rest.

But obviously, the Japanese didn't want them to rest, so they could only gather together as a reserve force.

Because Duanwu had another idea, that is to let the new recruits also experience the battlefield. Although many new recruits have now been incorporated into other troops, there are still nearly 1,500 people who have not been organized, but are collectively called the New Recruit Detachment, and its captain is tentatively appointed as Li Zhenshan.

Of course, it's just a temporary agency.

What Duanwu meant was that the war was about to start and there would be casualties in each unit. By then, the new recruits would be added to other units, so that the main units of the Anti-Japanese Battalion would still be fully staffed.

Of course, this doesn't mean that these people can't go to the battlefield. Duanwu had already planned to take them to the battlefield for some training.

This time, the opportunity came. A mixed force of more than 1,300 Japanese and puppet troops actually came to his door. If he didn't swallow them all, he would be doing them a disservice.

So Duanwu immediately gathered his troops and prepared to ambush the Japanese at Changmagou, northeast of Fenghuang Mountain.

They were only about ten kilometers away from Changmagou, but the Japanese needed to walk at least twenty kilometers to reach there.

So in terms of time, there is plenty of time.

So Duanwu led the team and headed straight for Changmagou.

·············

At the same time, Ma Hu's other reconnaissance team had arrived near the Hukou outpost.

Although it is called a reconnaissance team, there are actually only two people.

One of these two people is called Liu Jinbiao. He is one of Ma Hu's think tanks. In addition to his decent martial arts skills, he is also good at business.

But now that he has joined the Anti-Japanese Brigade, he has no business to run, so he has been following Ma Hu and assisting him.

The other person is called Chen Yushan. He has good martial arts skills, but he is very old, in his early fifties, and is also Ma Hu's confidant.

Under the cover of night, the two men quietly approached the Japanese's Hukou outpost.

But the closer they got, the more excited they became.

Because the scene before them made them gasp.

This Hukou outpost was unexpectedly built between two mountains. It was made of solid rock, more than ten meters high and more than a hundred meters wide. It stood in the night like an insurmountable chasm.

Liu Jinbiao and Chen Yushan looked at each other and saw shock and helplessness in each other's eyes.

They stood under the sentry post and looked up. They saw the shadows of the Japs looming on the city wall. The sounds of patrolling footsteps and low conversations could be heard from time to time. The defense was very tight.

"What should I do?"

Chen Yushan asked in a low voice, with a hint of anxiety in his voice.

Liu Jinbiao pondered for a moment, frowned and said, "It seems that we have to think of a way to go around the back of the sentry post and see if we can find any flaws."

Chen Yushan nodded. Although he was not sure, he had no choice but to do so for now.

The two exchanged glances again, then found a direction and prepared to go around the outpost from both sides.

As they walked, the two of them cursed at the same time. There were high mountains on both sides of the Hukou outpost, and steep cliffs.

How far will the detour be for both of them?

So after walking for more than ten minutes and not finding the way, they both stopped.

Liu Jinbiao said: "If we keep going like this, we probably won't be able to get around until daybreak. Let's just take a risk and try climbing the cliff. If we can climb up, maybe we can see inside the Japanese sentry post!"
