Courtyard House: I only wiped out 30,000 Japanese pirates

Sasaki saying this in front of He Dajun means either he no longer suspects him, or he's setting a trap for him.

He Dajun's face immediately lit up with delight: "Great plan, sir! Those thugs will definitely take the bait! What do you need me to do? My puppet troops are ready to go at any time!"

Sasaki looked at the loyal face on his lips, a barely perceptible smile playing on his lips. He said there was no need for puppet troops, then glanced at the lieutenant colonel in the Special Higher Police. The lieutenant colonel adjusted his glasses and said in broken Daxia dialect, "The Imperial Army's plan is secret. Your task is to urgently recruit men and build up your team."

He Dajun bowed and repeatedly agreed, but inwardly he was sneering.

That's fucking obviously rigged.

I deliberately said it in front of him to see his reaction and whether he would spread the news.

If someone attacks the convoy in the next few days, it means the information has indeed been leaked, and that person was the only source of the leak.

After leaving the office building, He Dajun walked around the factory, ostensibly urging the workers to clear the rubble, but actually pondering what to do about the situation.

Going to blow it up is definitely not an option; Sasaki has already laid a trap for him to fall into.

Not going to bomb them is not an option either; if the resistance suddenly becomes "well-behaved," Sasaki will find it strange.

They were so active before, so why did they stop moving as soon as the Imperial Army set up an ambush? Is something strange?

Dilemma.

Of course, it still needed to be blown up eventually, which meant He Dajun didn't know.

Actually, there are other ways, such as finding Lao Yang or Deng Hanyong.

Of course, this would expose He Dajun's secret, so he had to take action personally.

That night, He Dajun ventured out of Beijing and drove along the western Beijing highway.

He found a spot, a mountain pass in the middle of the road, with high ground on both sides and a narrow valley in the middle.

If he were Sasaki, he would definitely have set up an ambush here. He then circled around the mountain path to the high ground on the north side of the pass, squatted in the bushes and looked down, carefully observing the direction of the mountain.

Finally, he chose the most open spot on the high ground.

That place has the best view, directly facing the entrance to the mountain pass. If the Japanese wanted to set up machine guns on the high ground, they would definitely choose this place.

He mentally determined the location and then carved a cross on a nearby tree as a marker.

The plan was simple, but in the end, I had to take matters into my own hands.

However, some preliminary preparations are needed. Find some civilians or puppet troops and kill them. Then the Japanese soldiers will mistake them for attackers and open fire. In this way, these people will become the attackers killed by the Imperial Army.

When Sasaki sees the corpses and the damaged military vehicles, he will think the plan has succeeded, and He Dajun has both carried out the ambush and maintained his cover.

However, He Dajun felt there was still a problem, but he couldn't pinpoint exactly what it was. He just had a vague feeling that something was amiss.

……

Two days later, everything was arranged.

That evening, He Dajun left the city ahead of time, changed into the Japanese military uniform he had redeemed through the system, and circled around from the northern ridge to the high ground north of the mountain pass.

He crouched in the bushes and looked down, and sure enough, he spotted Japanese soldiers lying in ambush on the high ground on both sides. He roughly counted at least thirty of them.

Three light machine guns were positioned in three different locations, forming a crossfire network, with all muzzles pointed downwards from the mountain pass.

There should be a similar number of troops on the high ground south of the mountain pass, and with the troops on the road, the Japanese have deployed at least one reinforced squad this time.

He Dajun did not move.

He crouched in the bushes, waiting for the lights of a truck to appear at the bend in the mountain road, ready to make his move, and then disappear without a trace.

Unexpectedly, at that moment, gunshots rang out from the Yamaguchi area.

He Dajun was shocked; at that moment, an attacker was indeed firing.

Soon after, gunfire erupted, and the Japanese machine guns began firing.

The distinctive rattling sound of the crooked-handled gun exploded simultaneously from both sides of the high ground, and bullets wove a net of fire in the darkness, spraying towards the mountain pass.

The other side clearly did not expect that the Japanese had laid an ambush.

Even more surprisingly, trucks on the highway started stopping, and many Japanese soldiers jumped out and headed towards the spot where the shooting had just taken place.

The ambush troops realized they had been tricked and immediately prepared to withdraw.

At this point, being surrounded by the Japanese soldiers made it difficult to escape. In particular, more Japanese soldiers were rushing in from another angle.

For a time, they were surrounded by Japanese soldiers on three sides.

The ambush troops were utterly devastated; they were doomed.

At this time, the Japanese had not yet used mortars, but only machine guns and rifles.

He Dajun hesitated. Would it be dangerous for him to rush forward at this moment?

But then he felt that the ambushing troops being besieged needed his intervention, and that this was the moment he had been waiting for.

He stood up from the bushes on the high ground, already holding three bundles of grenades in his hand.

The chosen location was directly above the Japanese machine gun position, less than 200 meters away.

He Dajun threw it with all his might. The grenade tumbled several times in the air before hitting the machine gunner and exploding.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The three explosions almost overlapped, and the man with the crooked handle fell silent.

Shrapnel flew through the darkness, accompanied by screams and shouts.

He Dajun gave the remaining Japanese soldiers no time to react, throwing five more grenades to blast the entire hilltop. Then, carrying a submachine gun, he rushed down to check for any survivors.

All twenty-two Japanese soldiers were wiped out.

The Japanese soldiers below the hill heard the explosion overhead. Some started shouting, while others began firing up the hill.

He Dajun did not linger in the fight. He picked up the Japanese soldier's crooked-handled pistol, set it up on the high ground, and returned fire down the mountain.

The battle lasted very short.

The Japanese soldiers on the south side of the mountain pass were stunned by the attacker who suddenly appeared from behind. By the time they reacted, He Dajun had already disappeared on the high ground to the north.

However, unaware that He Dajun had already left, they began bombarding the area with three mortars.

The effective firing range of a mortar is 800 meters.

After three rounds of bombardment, He Dajun still hadn't retaliated. One of the Japanese field commanders began heading towards He Dajun's previous position.

At the same time, over in the mountain pass valley.

The ambushing troops, surrounded and pinned down by fire from three sides, suddenly heard a series of explosions coming from the high ground to the north, and the Japanese machine gun positions fell silent one after another.

The man leading the group was in his thirties, lying behind a large rock, his face covered in dust.

Upon hearing the explosion overhead, I abruptly looked up and glanced north.

In the darkness, it was impossible to see what was happening over there. All that could be seen was bursts of fire exploding on the hilltop, followed by the screams and chaotic shouts of the Japanese soldiers.

"Reinforcements have arrived!" he shouted hoarsely to his brothers behind him.

This sound was like pouring oil into a dying fire. The ambush team members, who were almost out of ammunition, were greatly encouraged. They lay down behind the pile of rocks, set up their rifles again, and fired a round of fire at the Japanese soldiers on the road.

The gunfire was twice as intense as before. Although the firepower was still sparse, the fighting spirit had returned.

Just then, He Dajun had already circled around to the south and behind the Japanese troops.
