Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 2734 Fat meat again!

Faced with such a tenacious enemy, Duanwu also felt a little melancholy.

He originally thought that he could scare the Japanese away last night, so that the arsenal and the villagers of Phoenix City could be transferred smoothly.

But unfortunately, the Japs finally held their ground.

Moreover, according to preliminary estimates, there are at least 3,000 Japanese puppet troops.

A frontal attack is not a good idea.

At this time, the Japanese moved, sending two infantry squads to Hill No. 1 and Hill No. 2 respectively, each squad had about three hundred people.

Duanwu saw an opportunity, an opportunity to continue to weaken the Japs.

What's more, Hill No. 1 and Hill No. 2 must not fall into the hands of the Japanese.

Although these two high grounds are of little significance in terms of the blockade of Sanchongguan, they can support the operations of the Japanese camp from both wings.

In other words, if Duanwu really wanted to lead his troops to attack the Japanese camp, he would have no choice but to go to Hill No. 1 or Hill No. 2.

And if he wanted to attack Hill No. 1 or Hill No. 2, the Japanese in the camp would send reinforcements and attack Duanwu from both sides.

The reason why the Japanese did not deploy defenses on these two heights before was that there was no need.

Major General Masano believed that a mixed brigade would not be able to open the road to Laoyeling even if the entire anti-Japanese battalion attacked.

What's more, they were blocking the entrance to the valley and no enemy could get in.

In other words, the Japanese built fortifications along the direction of the valley entrance.

But they didn't expect that Duanwu and others came from another road.

The One-Eyed Man and the black-clad troops were all locals. They knew a dangerous way to climb over the cliff, and that's how they appeared behind the Japanese camp.

Otherwise, the Japanese wouldn't have been so panicked and suspicious before.

Because they had blocked the direction of the valley entrance, the enemy could not come in.

Coupled with Zhao Laonian's tricks, the Japanese were frightened so much that they almost abandoned their position and fled.

Of course, there is another important reason why the Japanese did not pay attention to Hill No. 1 and Hill No. 2 before.

The two high grounds do not cover a large area, so the garrison is at most two infantry squads, about a hundred people.

However, Major General Masano was well aware of the strength of the Anti-Japanese Brigade, so in order to avoid being defeated by the enemy one by one, he did not send any troops.

And he believed that if it was really necessary, he could quickly send troops to occupy it.

But unexpectedly, his enemy rushed out from behind him, causing such chaos in the entire camp, and he died in the chaos.

Of course, even if there were Japanese soldiers on Hill No. 1 and Hill No. 2 last night, it would be useless, it would just result in more sacrifices.

But it was different during the day. The Japanese believed that it would be difficult for the enemy to get close during the day.

Moreover, they support each other and are able to guard the exit of the triple pass and wait for reinforcements to arrive.

But they didn't know that Duanwu had been watching this scene. Moreover, the devils gave him two pieces of fat meat for free, so why didn't he take them?

Therefore, Duanwu immediately gave an order to divide the entire black army into two groups.

He personally commanded the entire route to intercept two Japanese infantry squads heading towards Hill No. 2.

The other group was led by the One-Eyed Dragon, while the Sixth Brother Bai Duanwu stayed by his side.

Duanwu knows people like Liu Ge very well. As the head of the largest family in Laoyeling, he is used to doing things his own way.

Just like last night, he wanted to kill the devils and went straight away without consulting anyone. So if he was asked to go to war, Duanwu thought he might be unconventional.

So it’s better to keep the other person by your side.

Moreover, the number of Japanese soldiers in both teams is not large, so there is no need to pay attention to any tactics. As long as the ambush positions are similar, the battle can be easily ended in a short time.

As time passed, the sky gradually brightened, but the mist still shrouded the mountains and forests.

It was similar to Changmagou, but the fog was much lighter, and there was dew in the grass. The black-clad troops were soaked from the calves down.

But no one complained. Everyone just made slight footsteps and followed Duanwuwu to quietly approach the Japs' marching route.

There were no good ambush sites, so they simply hid in the woods near the mountain path.

The trees here are towering and lush, like a natural barrier separating them from the Japanese.

Duanwu squatted behind a big tree, staring at the direction where the Japanese were coming through the gaps between the leaves.

His finger was gently on the trigger, as if he could shoot at any time.

But his safety was not turned on. This was Duanwu's habit. He would never turn on the safety before confirming the target and preparing to shoot.

The sixth brother used the technique directly, and the tree that was more than ten meters high was as flat as the ground under his feet.

He looked at the hundred or so Japanese devils and was even a little speechless.

With just a few Japanese soldiers, he thought there was no need to ambush them. They could just rush forward and kill them.

So someone like Sixth Brother might be able to become a powerful leader, but he will definitely not be a good commander.

Because he doesn't care about the casualties, he just judges heroes by victory or defeat.

Time passed minute by minute, and gradually the sound of the Japs' light footsteps and subtle conversations could be heard in the distance.

Although the sound was faint, it could be heard very far in the silent forest.

Duanwu knew that the Japanese were coming. While silently calculating the distance between them, he whispered, "Prepare for battle!"

"Ready to fight!"

"Ready to fight!"

···········

The soldiers passed on Duanwu's order one by one, and the entire black-clad army, more than 250 people, quickly entered combat mode.

At the same time, the same thing happened to the One-Eyed Dragon.

They also couldn't find a suitable ambush site and could only ambush in the woods.

The Japs had experienced intimidation and escape last night, and they were in low spirits in the morning.

Fortunately, daybreak came and their fear was not as great.

So many Japanese soldiers actually started telling jokes, and some even talked about the death of Major General Masano.

As they moved forward lazily, they did not forget to keep their eyes on the woods, and occasionally even fired a few shots into the silent woods.

Of course, it wasn't that they discovered anything, but the devils were using this method to test whether there were enemies lying in ambush in the woods.

And if there are enemies, it is very likely that they will launch a counterattack immediately after they open fire.

However, this childish method may be able to fool laymen, but it would be much less effective if used against well-trained black troops.

Therefore, there was no need for Duanwu to give orders and no soldier would move.

They were all lying quietly, waiting for the enemy to enter their ambush circle!
