Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 2952 A turtle in a jar!

At this time, Duanwu, along with Chunjianghao Team One and Two, had already joined forces with the Black-Clad Troops at the foot of the nameless peak, while the Japanese Fujino Regiment was surrounded by them on the mountaintop.

The Japanese soldiers were digging trenches and cutting down trees for cover on a mountain eighty meters high. Meanwhile, Duanwu, Ma Ping'an, One-Eyed Dragon, Long Qianyan, and Ma Shanpao were watching from below.

Meanwhile, Ma Hu and his reconnaissance troops remained on guard. Whenever the Japanese soldiers at Hukou Outpost dared to send out scouts, they would wipe them all out, creating the illusion that Duanwu was still at Hukou Outpost.

Moreover, even if the Japanese guessed that Duanwu was not near the Tiger's Mouth outpost, they did not dare to send troops rashly. Therefore, Duanwu had one night to deal with the Fujino Regiment.

One-Eyed Dragon, with his impatient nature, couldn't help but speak up first when he saw the Japanese soldiers busy on the mountaintop: "Captain, let's take care of these little devils now! They're trapped on the mountaintop and can't escape, it's the perfect time to attack!"

Duanwu shook his head slightly and said, "A direct assault is not advisable. Although this nameless peak is only eighty meters high, the Japanese have already dug trenches and cut down trees to make cover. If we rush up rashly, the casualties will definitely be high. Our brothers' lives are precious, and we can't let them die in vain."

Ma Ping'an stroked his chin, frowned, and pondered for a moment before saying, "The captain is right. We need to think of a way to annihilate the Fujino Brigade with minimal losses."

After thinking for a moment, Long Qianyan suggested, "We can harass the Japanese from multiple directions to keep them in a constant state of tension. When they are exhausted and their morale is low, we can launch a general offensive."

Ma Shanpao agreed, saying, "Hey, that's a great idea! We'll fire a few shots and throw a few grenades every now and then to scare the Japanese away. Once they're exhausted, we'll charge in and wipe them out!"

Duanwu nodded and said, "Long Qianyan's idea is good. But it doesn't matter if the Japanese don't sleep all night. They won't be so tired that we can attack so easily."

The one-eyed man clicked his tongue and said, "Then, Captain, what should we do?"

Duanwu smiled slightly and said, "Let's follow Long Qianyan's plan first. We'll eat and rest, and after dark, one team from the front and one from the back of the mountain will take turns firing and throwing grenades. We'll launch our attack in the middle of the night!"

Although Ma Pingan and the others were somewhat puzzled, they still carried out Duanwu's orders.

However, at that very moment, the roar of airplanes came from the sky.

Duanwu realized that this might be a group of Japanese bombers and immediately ordered the troops to withdraw.

As soon as they left, Japanese bombers dropped a large number of aerial bombs on the woods near the Japanese positions.

In an instant, flames shot into the sky, illuminating the once dark forest as bright as day. The violent explosion shook the earth.

The shockwave from the bomb explosion spread outwards with overwhelming force, uprooting trees and shattering thick trunks into dust in an instant, sending wood chips flying like snowflakes.

The tree branches, as thick as bowls, were broken by the shockwave and flew wildly in the air, some even crashing directly onto the Japanese positions on the mountaintop.

The soil was hurled high into the air, forming huge mushroom clouds that blotted out the sun.

The once lush forest was transformed into a sea of ​​fire in the blink of an eye, with raging flames spreading wildly and devouring everything flammable.

Flames licked at the surrounding trees, crackling and popping, while thick smoke billowed into the sky, mingling with the flames from the explosion to create a terrifying, apocalyptic scene.

Duanwu and the others hid in the distance, watching the horrific scene before them, secretly relieved that they had evacuated in time.

Ma Shanpao exclaimed in surprise, "My goodness! These Japanese devils have really gone all out! They've dropped so many bombs. If we hadn't retreated, we'd probably all be blown to bits by now!"

One-Eyed Dragon, still shaken, said, "The captain was brilliant! If we had moved any slower, all of us brothers would have been wiped out here." Duanwu smiled and said, "Did you guys notice? The Japanese have planes coming to support us so quickly. This shows that the Fujino Regiment in front of us is still very important to the 2nd Division. If I weren't worried about things getting complicated, I'd really like to surround the Fujino Regiment for a few more days. Maybe we can lure that old devil Maruyama out of Tiger's Mouth Outpost!"

Ma Ping'an chuckled and said, "Captain, you're really bold. Do you want to wipe out the Japanese Second Division?"

Duanwu laughed and said, "Of course, I wouldn't mind killing as many Japanese devils as I want. If we weren't short of ammunition, I would definitely find a way to trick that old devil Maruyama back."

At this moment, Duanwu's words touched on everyone's concerns.

This battle was exceptionally well fought; they annihilated five or six thousand Japanese soldiers at the cost of less than a hundred men, and destroyed the Japanese tank and artillery units.

However, the consumption was also enormous. For example, the ammunition for submachine guns was almost gone. The soldiers had begun collecting bullets, and only a portion of them were using submachine guns.

The rest of the people had no choice but to temporarily use the Japanese soldiers' weapons.

Therefore, if Maruyama really wants to launch a counterattack at this point, Dango will most likely have to avoid his sharp edge.

After all, they had run out of landmines and were short of ammunition for automatic weapons. If they were to engage the main force of the Japanese army in this situation, there would only be one outcome: the anti-Japanese brigade would suffer heavy casualties.

Duanwu won't make such a losing deal, so the Fujino team must resolve this tonight.

············
Half an hour later, it became completely dark, and night enveloped the entire nameless peak.

Following Duanwu's orders, Long Qianyan and Ma Shanpao each led a team of men to sneak towards the Japanese positions from the front and back mountains.

Upon arriving at the designated location, which was a grove of trees at least two hundred meters away from the Japanese positions, the closest to the Japanese positions.

Without saying a word, Long Qianyan immediately ordered the soldiers carrying Type 38 rifles to open fire on the Japanese positions.

Nowadays, submachine gun ammunition is in short supply, so the dozen or so soldiers that Long Qianyan brought were all equipped with Japanese weapons: Type 38 rifles, Type 91 machine guns, and grenade launchers.

The Type 91 machine gun was used to defend against sudden attacks by the Japanese army, while the grenade launcher was used to eliminate key Japanese military targets.

As for the Type 38 rifle, it was purely used to harass the Japanese.

Of course, the soldiers wouldn't mind killing as many Japanese soldiers as possible if they could.

boom!
A soldier pulled the trigger first, and the sharp sound of the Type 38 rifle instantly shattered the silence of the night.

A bullet whistled towards the Japanese position, hitting a Japanese sentry who was peeking out to observe.

The Japanese sentry didn't even have time to scream before a bullet pierced his head, and he was thrown back into the trench like a dead dog.

At the same time, the other soldiers also opened fire.

Gunfire erupted, and bullets rained down on the Japanese positions!
