Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 2881 Ambush Kujo Miyabe!

Guizhong Youming was very surprised when he heard that someone was missing. He pulled the reins, the horse neighed, raised its front hooves high and dropped them heavily, and finally stopped.

"What? Someone is missing? Who is missing? Where did they go?"

Onizuka Youming asked repeatedly, his voice full of anger. But he didn't think much about it, he just simply thought that someone was deserting.

The officer was frightened by Onizuka Youming's questioning, and hurriedly lowered his head, stammering:

"Reply... Reply to Lord Onitsuka, I... I don't know who is missing. Our troops were drawn from various places to look for Lord Kujo Miyakita, and then temporarily recruited to support the Fuyang County Arsenal. The personnel changes frequently. I just noticed that the number of people in the team seems to be wrong. I roughly estimate that there is about one infantry company missing, but I'm afraid I can only start looking for the specific missing people from the headquarters' transfer order."

Onizuka Youming was so angry that his face turned blue, and he cursed: "Baka! Such an important thing, you just told me now? An infantry squadron is gone just like that, what the hell are you doing!"

The Japanese officer was so frightened that his legs went weak and he almost fell off his horse. He quickly explained, "Mr. Onitsuka, calm down. The troops were marching all the time and I didn't have a chance to carefully count the number of people. It was only now that the team slowed down that I noticed the difference in the number of people."

Onizuka Youming was so angry that he gritted his teeth and his facial muscles twitched violently.

The Japanese soldiers around were frightened into silence. They lowered their heads and dared not look at Onizuka Youming.

"Send a telegram to the headquarters immediately and ask them for the details of the transfer order. Make sure to find out who is missing!"

Onitsuka Youming suppressed the anger in his heart and loudly ordered the Japanese officer.

It can be said that he was not very familiar with this Japanese officer, because all the Japanese were drawn from various places, and there were also hawkish people who had been captured before.

The hawkish people were all under strict surveillance and it was impossible for them to leave, so Onizuka Youming did not expect that the disappeared infantry company would be heading towards Kujo Miyakita.

"Hi!"

After receiving the order, the officer turned his horse around and hurried away.

Onizuka Youming looked at the back of the Japanese officer, but the anger in his heart could not be calmed for a long time.

An entire infantry squadron was lost without explanation, which was undoubtedly a further blow to the already exhausted and demoralized troops.

"Keep going! Cheer up!"

Onizuka Youming shouted loudly, trying to boost the morale of the troops again.

However, all the Japs were still listless and walked slowly.

They knew in their hearts that this was a pursuit with no chance of winning. Not to mention their exhausted army, even if they were full of energy, they could not catch up with the Anti-Japanese United Army.

They have tried to catch up with the Anti-Japanese United Army before, but could they?
Guizuka Youming looked at the lifeless team, feeling helpless. He didn't know how this pursuit would end, nor how he would report to the headquarters if he couldn't catch up.

But he knew that he could not retreat at this moment, and could only bite the bullet and continue to chase forward with this exhausted army.
·············
At the same time, Kujo Miyakita was escorted by Yamamoto, Sato, Tanaka and others, heading in the direction where Onizuka Youmei had left before.

They had contacted Onizuka Yuaki before, but unfortunately, the radio they were carrying suddenly broke down.

None of the six of them knew how to repair it, so they could only follow the direction that Onizuka Youming had left.

But they didn't know that a trap had been set up ahead by Honda Chuuichi.

Honda Chuuichi, the last trump card in Ino's hand, he did not call this unit when he was chasing Kujo Miyakita so urgently before, which shows how important Honda Chuuichi is in Ino's eyes. And thanks to him for keeping a hand before, otherwise he would have to sit and wait for death.

So Honda Chuichi took his troops, about an infantry company, and ambushed on the road that Kujo Palace might take.

Of course, Honda Chuichi is not a god who can predict the future.

He came to this conclusion through thinking.

After being rescued, Kujo Miyakita could only go in two directions.

One direction is where the retainer of the Kujo family, Old Miyamoto, is.

But there, Ino had already arranged people to intercept.

The other direction is here. Honda Chuichi believed that after Kujo Miyakita escaped, he would definitely come to find Onizuka Youming, so he ambushed here.

He hid nearly a squadron of soldiers in the woods and grass on both sides of the road, and whispered, "Everyone, stay alert and keep your eyes open. Our mission this time is very important. If we succeed, everyone will be rewarded greatly. If we fail, perhaps all of us will die, and we will also be labeled as rebels. Do you understand?"

"Hey! Got it!"

Honda Chuichi's men responded in low voices and crouched in their respective shelters.

Time passed minute by minute, and finally, footsteps were heard in the distance.

Honda Chuichi was delighted, he knew that no one would walk in the mountains at night so late, it must be Kujo Miyakita and others who came.

He made a gesture, and his men immediately became more alert, leaning forward slightly, ready to attack at any time.

Kujo Miyakita was protected by six people at this time, with Yamamoto leading the team, followed by Sato and Tanaka, and behind them were three other elite members of the Shadow Wolf Force - Takahashi, Matsumoto, and Inoue.

The six people were very vigilant, especially Sato, who had lived in the deep mountains and forests of Kyushu Island since he was a child and had a particularly strong sense of danger.

He suddenly stopped and warned, "Everyone stop, it's too quiet here."

Kujo Miyakita and the other five people stopped immediately and noticed something wrong at the same time.

Night is the time when various wild animals and insects are active, so along the way, the sounds of insects chirping and wild beasts biting almost never stopped.

But at this moment, it was terrifyingly quiet, and there was almost no sound in the woods.

Moreover, the air is filled with the stench of human sweat.

Perhaps this is also what Honda Zhongyi overlooked. They were in the upwind area and had traveled a long distance. They were soaked in sweat and naturally emitted a smell.

Of course, this faint smell may be difficult for ordinary people to detect, but for Sato and others, it is a very clear danger signal.

Yamamoto murmured, "Why are there still enemies here? Didn't Lord Onitsuka lead them to ambush the Anti-Japanese Brigade's grain transport team?"

But at this time, there was obviously no time for them to hesitate, because Ichiro Tanaka also realized something was wrong. The other party stopped, and they must have been exposed.

Thinking of this, Tanaka immediately ordered: "Hit me!"
