Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 3009 A Hero Cuts Off His Own Arm: Bowing to General Maruyama!

Meanwhile, Duanwu had already joined forces with part of Chunjiang Hao's team and Mashanpao.

Long Qianyan wasn't here; he had led his men to ambush the Japanese Shadow Wolf unit.

Koizumi Jiro died at the hands of Ryu Sengen.

Therefore, at this time, Duanwu only brought half of the Chunjiang Good Team's strength, about eight hundred people.

The Chunjiang Hao Second Team, which joined them, had about 1,500 members.

Therefore, the two units combined would number more than 2,300.

At this time, Duanwu was discussing the upcoming battle with Ma Shanpao and debating the best combat plan.

But just then, a scout rushed over, panting, and reported: "Captain, the Japanese on Black Mountain have made a move! They sent a team to scout the west side of Black Mountain. Their purpose is unknown, but we suspect they might be trying to rescue Maruyama."

Upon hearing this, Duanwu's lips curled up slightly, revealing a sneer: "Does Kujo Miyamoto really have such good intentions? This kid must have sensed that the situation is not good and is trying to escape."

Ma Shanpao asked in surprise, "Captain, how do you know so much about Kujo Miyamoto?"

Duanwu asked with a smile, "We've dealt with him so many times, don't you know what kind of person he is?"

"Hahaha!"

Ma Shanpao laughed heartily, but then immediately asked, "Captain, what should we do? Should I lead some men to ambush them?"

Duanwu shook his head and said:
"We must fight, but not now. If we attack the Japanese now, they will quickly retreat back to Black Song Mountain once they realize something is wrong. Black Song Mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If we launch a strong attack, we will suffer heavy losses. It would be better to put the Japanese on the road."

The Japanese will eventually return to Songyuan County, so we might as well ambush them on the highway and block their way back. Once it gets dark and the Japanese are trapped in the mountains, that will be the best time for us to strike.

Ma Shanpao suddenly realized and chuckled, "The battalion commander is indeed the battalion commander, he thinks of everything! In this way, the Japanese devils are like meat on our chopping block, at our mercy!"

Duanwu chuckled slightly and said, "While it's not fair to say they were at the mercy of others, it certainly won't be easy for the Japanese to escape back."

At this point, Duanwu instructed, "Go and prepare. We'll ambush the Japanese in batches, forcing them to be distracted!"

Meanwhile, on Mount Kurogane, a Japanese scout jogged back, panting, and reported to Kujo no Miyamoto: "Reporting to Lord Kujo, we have not found any trace of the enemy. The road you mentioned is safe!"

Upon hearing the report, Kujo Miyamoto's tense face instantly relaxed, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes. He immediately ordered, "All personnel, listen to my command! Retreat immediately! Once on the highway, return to Matsubara County at full speed!"

Upon receiving the order, the Japanese soldiers were overjoyed, quickly packing up their equipment and heading towards the highway in the predetermined order.

Kujou Kita and Onizuka Yūmei rode side by side in the middle of the procession.

Kujo Miyamoto's lips curled into a smug smile as he said disdainfully, "Onizuka-kun, I think the Anti-Japanese Brigade is nothing special. They probably never dreamed that I wouldn't go to rescue Maruyama. By the time they realize it, we'll probably be drinking tea in Matsubara Castle." Onizuka Yumei echoed with a laugh, "Kujo-kun, you're getting better and better at warfare. You're right, there's an old Chinese saying—'A brave man cuts off his own arm.' And now, we've shown that brave man's resolve."

"Hahaha!"

Kujo Miyamoto laughed triumphantly, then continued, "Hahaha, Onizuka-kun is absolutely right. There's nothing shameful about cutting off one's own arm. As long as we retain our current forces, we still have a chance to turn the tide. When we get back, I'll have my father send more troops to cooperate with us. I refuse to believe that Qi Dabing has three heads and six arms."

Onizuka Yuumei nodded slightly. He always believed Kujo Miyamoto's words without question. After all, Kujo had a good father!

He actually wished he had a father like that, but unfortunately, he didn't. So he could only follow behind this spoiled brat and try to get benefits.

And he added, "Kujo-kun, you're right. As long as we're alive, we can always rebuild. As long as we can safely return to Songyuan, this mere anti-Japanese brigade is nothing to worry about!"

"Hahaha!"

Kujo Miyamoto laughed heartily again, then patted Onizuka Yūmei on the shoulder from his horse and said:
"Onizuka-kun, you have great foresight. I feel very secure and comfortable working with you. Don't worry, when we return to Matsubara County, I will definitely recommend you for commendation. Although we didn't gain much advantage in this battle, we were able to infiltrate the Imperial Army's intelligence agents into the Anti-Japanese Brigade. And at that time, all the secrets of the Anti-Japanese Brigade will be no secret to us!"

Onizuka Yumei chuckled twice in agreement, thinking to himself: It's good to follow this rich kid; even if we lose a battle, we get credit.

To be honest, he didn't want to stay by Kujo Miyamoto's side at all, because he was the captain of the Shadow Wolf Special Forces. Even though he was by Kujo Miyamoto's side and the other party valued him highly, in the eyes of outsiders, he was still just a dog by Kujo Miyamoto's side.

Of course, on the surface, Onizuka Yūmei had to pretend to be grateful and say, "Then thank you very much, Kujō-kun. I, Onizuka Yūmei, will definitely follow you to the death until the anti-Japanese brigade is wiped out!"

Onizuka Yumei set himself a small goal: to eliminate the anti-Japanese brigade and then say goodbye to Kujo Miyamoto.

But Kujo Miyamoto didn't realize what was going on and continued talking non-stop about his grand plan.

Time passed slowly, and they finally left the Heisong Mountain area and got onto the highway.

The Japanese soldiers gathered here, numbering six or seven thousand, and looked somewhat chaotic.

Kujo Miyamoto had no time for conversation. Instead, he ordered the officers to quickly arrange the troops and set off back to Matsubara.

But just then, before the Japanese troops could fully deploy, gunfire erupted from the woods on the right side of the road.

A hail of bullets came whistling in like raindrops, and in an instant, more than a hundred Japanese soldiers were riddled with holes. Even the Japanese trucks parked at the front were not spared, riddled with holes of all sizes. The Japanese driver was also shot dead on the spot.

The Japanese soldiers in front were instantly thrown into chaos, scrambling to find cover among the rocks.

As for retaliating, some Japanese soldiers did try, but they didn't even have a chance to fire their guns before they were riddled with bullets.

There were too many bullets, so many that many Japanese soldiers were hit three or four times. It was like using bullets to kill the Japanese soldiers.

Such a battle was incredibly terrifying because the opponent completely disregarded all rules and simply wanted their lives!
