Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 3010 Two Clever Men Who Were Afraid of Death!

Faced with such a terrifying attack, even though Kujo Miyamoto had witnessed it many times before, he was still incredibly shocked. He roared at the top of his lungs, "Counterattack! Counterattack!"

In their panic, the Japanese soldiers scrambled for cover and began to fight back, but by then they were in disarray and unable to mount any effective fire suppression.

And the other party actually ran away.

That's right, the other side ran away. They fired a burst of gunfire, killing more than a hundred Japanese soldiers, and then disappeared quickly, without even giving Kujo Miyamoto a chance to retaliate.

Kujo Miyamoto's face turned green with anger; this cunning tactic infuriated him.

He shouted the order: "Alert! Alert! Quickly form a retreat formation and retreat!"

At this moment, Kujo Miyamoto was very clear that their enemy was nearby, and if they could not break out quickly, destruction would be their only fate.

Onizuka Yumei also realized that things were not going well, and he hurriedly ordered his troops to quickly spread out on the road and form an orderly formation.

But just then, the Japanese soldiers who had fallen behind the column were also attacked.

Using the same tactic, they attacked and ran, leaving behind only more than seventy Japanese soldiers' corpses.

In other words, in just a short time, the Japanese soldiers lost an entire infantry company without even seeing what the enemy looked like.

Kujo Miyamoto was furious, but he quickly took off his commander's uniform and put on an ordinary Japanese soldier's uniform.

The same goes for Onizuka Yumei. They know Qi Dabing and the others too well; he's not human at all. Anyone who falls into his hands is doomed.

So both of them wanted nothing more than to kill Duanwu, but their actions were surprisingly aligned. They both changed into ordinary Japanese soldiers' clothes and refused to let officers linger around them.

But instead of getting together, the two of them started discussing countermeasures.

Kujo Miyamoto looked slightly nervous and lowered his voice, saying, "The Anti-Japanese Brigade is too cunning. They don't play by the rules at all. If this continues, we will be gradually devoured by them sooner or later."

Onizuka Yumei nodded vigorously and agreed, "That's right, Qi Dabing is a madman, and his soldiers are just like him, completely disorganized. We must find a way to get out of this passive and defensive situation."

Kujo Miyamoto frowned, and after a moment, he suddenly had an idea: "Given the current situation, a direct confrontation is definitely not going to work. We need to find a way to get rid of the enemy and return to Matsubara."

Onizuka Yumei also fell into deep thought for a moment before saying, "Kujo-kun, you're right, but the Anti-Japanese Brigade is keeping such a close watch on us right now. How we escape is a big problem. They're like ghosts, ready to appear at any moment and deliver a fatal blow."

The two fell silent, and the atmosphere around them was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.

After a long while, Kujo Miyamoto's eyes suddenly lit up, and he leaned close to Onizuka Yūmei's ear and said, "I have an idea. Let's find two Imperial Army soldiers who look similar to us and have them impersonate us. When it gets dark, the main force will break out in different directions. Maybe we can confuse the anti-Japanese brigade and make them unable to distinguish between the real and fake ones. Then we can slip away in the chaos."

Upon hearing this, Onizuka Yumei was taken aback at first, but then a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He patted Kujo Miyamoto's shoulder hard and said excitedly, "Kujo-kun, what a great idea! This way, the anti-Japanese brigade's attention will be diverted, and we will have a greater chance to escape. However, finding a suitable candidate will probably not be easy. They need to look similar and be absolutely loyal and reliable."

Kujo Miyamoto nodded, agreeing with Onizuka Yūmei's assessment.

He only hesitated for a moment before deciding to choose from his own guards. These men were absolutely loyal to the Kujo family, and sending them to their deaths was the perfect choice. Kujo Miyahoku shared his thoughts with Onizuka Yuumei, but Onizuka Yuumei still said with some concern, "Even if we find suitable people, can they fool the Anti-Japanese Brigade? Qi Dabing is very cunning. If he sees through us, we will still be in great danger."

Kujo Miyamoto said helplessly, "This is the only way we can do it. With them around, we have a better chance of escaping back."

After a moment of silence, Onizuka Yumei finally nodded and said, "Alright, let's do it this way. Time is of the essence, we need to act quickly and try to get everything arranged before dark."

So the two of them began to select two Japanese soldiers from the guard who were about the same size as them, and had them play the roles of Kujo Miyamoto and Onizuka Yūmei respectively.

Of course, during this period, they lost more than two hundred Imperial Army soldiers and advanced two kilometers.

Based on the calculation of 200 people per 2 kilometers, they probably wouldn't even need to travel 50 kilometers before everyone dies.

Kujo Miyamoto immediately ordered his troops to speed up and ignore the enemy's sneak attack.

As a result, even more people died, and they had to slow down again.

Fortunately, it finally got dark.

Kujou Miyamoto and Onizuka Yūmei were somewhat impatient, because at this point, the original group of more than 5,000 people had been reduced to half.

But in reality, if they had stayed on Black Song Mountain, they would probably still be at full strength, since Duanwu wouldn't have ordered an attack until nightfall.

It's a pity that these two brilliant minds were too afraid of death. They didn't consider this point at all.

As darkness fell, they were driven to the brink of despair.

In a desperate move, the two men summoned all the surviving officers and ordered their troops to break out in a fan shape towards the northeast and southeast.

All the Japanese officers were dumbfounded, because they all felt that once they entered the forest, they would only face certain death, since the anti-Japanese brigade was in the woods, appearing and disappearing unpredictably and making them impossible to guard against.

They wanted to explain the danger of the matter to Kujo Miyamoto, but Kujo Miyamoto and Onizuka Yūmei kept their faces cold and didn't give them a chance to speak.

Kujo Miyamoto further stated, "Now is the time for you to serve His Majesty the Emperor faithfully."

Every Japanese officer was thinking to himself: Damn it, not a single Imperial Army soldier who heard that sentence ever came back alive.

But they dared not disobey Kujo Miyamoto's orders and could only break through according to the plan.

At this point, it was a gamble on who would be lucky enough to avoid the Anti-Japanese Allied Army and escape alive. But if they were unlucky, they would have no choice but to obediently serve His Majesty the Emperor.

So a group of Japanese officers were instructing their men to be careful when they started charging, especially the leaders, who were told not to run headfirst into the anti-Japanese brigade, as that would be tantamount to suicide.

Upon hearing the order, a group of Japanese soldiers immediately began cursing. Because breaking out from the northeast or southeast—what difference would that make from being cannon fodder?
But who would dare disobey orders on the battlefield? Even though they knew they were going to their deaths, they had no choice but to follow Kujo Miyamoto's orders.

So, after three red signal flares were launched into the sky, all the Japanese soldiers fled in different directions, like wild dogs released from their reins, desperately trying to escape!
