Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 926 We are still being tricked by us (second update!)

"Division Commander, it is really useful to detonate the landmines planted by the Eighth Route Army on the roads with rogue horses... As long as we have enough rogue horses, we can easily decimate the minefields of the Eighth Route Army!" The chief of staff complimented happily.

Lieutenant General Ito's tense face also relaxed a lot, but he still reminded: "Nail horses are also the wealth of the Imperial Army of Japan... If too many nautical horses are lost, the logistics team will not be able to guarantee the marching speed of the troops. So , the best way is to use the Chinese people to force the Eighth Route Army to give up the use of landmines, or at least use the livestock snatched from the Chinese to the forward troops to open the way for us and detonate the landmines!"

"What the head of the division said is that the troops have already been sent out, and it shouldn't take too long to bring back the young men we need."

However, the chief of staff was irritated that until four o'clock in the afternoon, the young and strong troops along the highway still hadn't returned.

If it weren't for them to have an infantry brigade, and apart from sporadic gunshots, there would be almost no intensive gunfire.The chief of staff almost suspected that something happened to the infantry brigade he sent out.

"Sir, the forward troops report that they have arrived at the night camp designated by the division headquarters. There is not a single person in the village, not a single animal, not even a chicken!"

Lieutenant General Ito frowned, showing an unbelievably shocked expression.

But soon he realized: "It must be the Eighth Route Army who transferred all the people in the village~"

"However, for this encirclement and suppression campaign, we have prepared a sufficient amount of ammunition and supplies. It is absolutely delusional to try to defeat us and force us to retreat through such small means as fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness!"

"Order..." Speaking of these two words, Lieutenant General Ito's face became serious in an instant.

"Forward troops, strengthen the vigilance around the garrison, and ensure that there are no Eighth Route Army troops within five kilometers of the temporary camp!"

"The main force speeds up, rush to the campsite as soon as possible, finish your meal early, and rest early... At the same time, Chief of Staff, you must arrange security at night. This is the base of the Eighth Route Army. They will definitely not let go of the opportunity to attack us at night. Therefore, we must seize the time to rest as soon as possible, and one more minute of rest is one minute!"

"Hi……"

It was not until the army camp was arranged and the chief of staff found Lieutenant General Ito to return to his command that the infantry brigade sent out to arrest people during the day returned with dozens of corpses in embarrassment.

"Division commander, chief of staff... There is no one in the villages on both sides of the road, not even a single livestock or chicken... The Eighth Route Army is too cunning, so they moved all the people in the village ahead of time!"

"Also...not only are there no ordinary people in the village, but many Eighth Route Army guerrillas and local troops are also hidden. Although they are poorly equipped and poorly trained, they don't fight us hard at all, and hide in places we don't know Hit us coldly, run away after hitting, and plant a landmine on the road we must pass from time to time, making us hard to guard against..."

"In one afternoon, we lost 53 people from the imperial army, and 39 people were directly killed in battle~"

Lieutenant General Ito frowned and cursed: "You have an infantry brigade in your hands, not an infantry squadron~ You didn't fight back, find a way to kill them!"

The chief of staff immediately replied: "The humble job tried to find a way...but it didn't work at all...We are not familiar with the terrain, and just sent people to chase them out, and the Eighth Route Army who attacked us ran away completely, and we don't know where they went..."

"You're a stupid pig...go down, I don't want to see you again..." Lieutenant General Ito scolded, frowning.

Before the anger dissipated, a major rushed in.

"Report...sir: There is a problem with the camp~"

Lieutenant General Ito frowned and asked, "The campsite? I didn't hear a single gunshot. What could be wrong with the campsite~"

The major quickly replied: "It's the water source... We searched the entire campsite but couldn't find a clean water source... Now all the logistics troops are waiting for the water source to cook!"

"Impossible~" Lieutenant General Ito denied it after thinking about it!

"There is a village in our campsite, a big village with hundreds of people~ There is no water source, how do they live... Look, there must be a well in the village, it must have been concealed when the Eighth Route Army evacuated the people~"

The Shao Zuo gritted his teeth against the anger of the head of the division and replied: "Calm down, head of the division, there are indeed wells in the village, and there are five wells in the village. There are a lot of rats and livestock corpses, so it can’t be used at all~”

"If the troops are arranged to clean up the well now, there will be no time to go, and there will definitely be no water available tonight!"

"No..." Lieutenant General Ito's face finally became serious.

The troops of more than 2 people have traveled for a day, and they need a lot of water for eating and drinking.If there is no clean water supply, the morale of the troops will definitely drop, and even the combat effectiveness will drop!

Therefore, this problem must be solved, and he asked with a frown.

"Is there a clean well in the nearby village~"

"No, I have arranged for the cavalry to check it out. All the wells were polluted, and the reconnaissance team encountered a sneak attack by the Eighth Route Army guerrillas, and lost three elite cavalry!"

"The cunning Eighth Route Army is sneaking up on us everywhere. When I find you, I will definitely smash you into pieces~" Lieutenant General Ito was furious when he heard that the army was attacked by what he saw as a trick again, causing casualties. He surged up, and cursed unceremoniously at his subordinates.

After scolding, he did not forget another thorny problem since he dispatched troops. He frowned and ordered: "Chief of Staff... map... I remember there is a river near here... the Eighth Route Army can pollute the well, but it is impossible to pollute the whole A river. Immediately arrange for the troops to use cars to go to the nearby river to fetch water, and make sure that the troops have enough drinking water!"

"Also, send more escort troops... The Eighth Route Army is too cunning, especially their guerrillas and local troops, they are everywhere. The nearest five kilometers from the station to the river, they will definitely not miss this sneak attack Our chance!"

"Hey... I will do it right away!"

On a small mountain ridge two kilometers away from the garrison, Lieutenant General Ito's first target, the battalion commander of the new regiment, Xiong Changhe, hid here.Holding up the binoculars, he stared at the huge Japanese barracks without moving, and kept expressing emotion in his mouth.

A smile flashed across Xiong Changhe's mouth when he saw a group of devil cavalry and infantry guarding ten vehicles rushing out of the station.

"Haha... Comrades, don't look at the little devils who have a lot of people, well-equipped, heavy artillery, tanks, whatever you want... But, when they entered our Eighth Route Army base area, they were still played around by us~"

"Look, our little plot to pollute the well forced them to send troops to fight the water source!"
