Due to the destruction of the scene, no information about the enemy was found.

According to the survivors' inquiries, the process of the event is as follows:

There are no regular inquiries alone, and all survivors have the same overall caliber, and there is no logical conflict.

December 15th.

In the early morning, the whole field brigade set out, and the purpose of the operation was to encircle and suppress the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army hidden in Tutuo Village, but during the march, the joint commander Matsuda Yoji ordered the troops to march slowly and maintain a high degree of vigilance, and even sent a number of long-range alert and reconnaissance posts, and there was no abnormality during the march.

The Baiye Brigade marched 23 kilometers and set up camp at 5 p.m., receiving an order from the Wing Commander to build bunkers and fortifications, and dispatching 21 sets of secret sentries at 8 p.m. to observe and guard at night. At night, the guard found the enemy reconnaissance team and exchanged fire, killing one Shang Man, and there were no casualties on our side, and the enemy reconnaissance team retreated into the mountains and forests and stopped the pursuit.

December 16th

At 6 o'clock in the morning, 20 of the 21 groups were killed, all of them were shot in the head, and all the guards were killed in a state of no resistance, and the bodies remained on alert.

At 7 o'clock in the morning, the field brigade began to build civil fortifications, strengthen the guard and shrink the defense.

In the morning, 7 soldiers were killed in the camp, all of them were shot in the head, and no gunshots were found, the dead soldiers were all found dead five to 10 minutes after death, and there was no sound at the time of death. After the attack, the defenses were urgently strengthened, and there were no casualties at noon and only in the afternoon.

At night, the captain laid a minefield around the camp, during which the special high-tech intelligence support team disappeared, and the searchers found no traces, and the imperial army brigade was also attacked on the road, this time there was the sound of mortars, and only a little accompanied the imperial army to flee back to Wanping City, and it was clear that the attacker was the Eighth Route Army. An hour and a half later, the outpost found that the minefield had been emptied and all the mines were neatly stacked in their place, and then all the guards withdrew, and seven soldiers were killed on the way to death, the cause of death was a bullet in the head, and the death was silent throughout the whole process.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the camp was attacked, the guard post sounded the alarm bell, and the enemy traces were detected with the help of muzzle fireworks, but the searchlight found only one enemy, and the brigade immediately engaged the enemy. It is described that the enemy has the following characteristics: 1. The marksmanship is extremely accurate, each shot can hit the head, and can fire a silent bullet (including no sound after hitting the target); 2. The action is extremely agile, the enemy's walking speed exceeds that of the war horse, the evasion movement is very smooth, and the fire network of more than a dozen machine guns can be dodged in the open area, and it can also take the time to counterattack; 3. Strong physique, after being exploded at close range by two 75 mountain artillery shells, he can still maintain his full mobility, and still escape from the encirclement of the brigade after being shot.

After the enemy was wounded, the wing commander and the group leader organized a pursuit, and the rear artillery squadron sent soldiers to check many times, all of which were any response and the soldiers disappeared and did not return, after four consecutive waves, Kazuo Imai ordered to abandon the equipment and retreat, before retreating, a trap was made and three soldiers were left behind, and after half a time, the remaining soldiers lost contact again, and Kazuo Imai activated the detonator.

The above information is an oral summary of the survivors of the artillery squadron of the field brigade, and there are many doubts, due to the serious damage at the scene, it can only be found that there are a large number of light and heavy machine gun warheads on the left side of the camp, and there is no actual evidence for the rest.

In addition, no traces of warheads used by the enemy were found.

Event Analysis:

Analyst: Daisa Furukawa Nishizawa.

Eliminate common-sense errors and extract the facts of the incident.

A first-line brigade was completely wiped out overnight, all of them were shot in the head and died, in this incident, the enemy showed the level of night shooting and combat effectiveness throughout the whole process, and the enemy deliberately induced the field brigade to pursue, and ambushed after breaking away from the heavy fire of artillery, it is inferred that the enemy should be a small collection of super shooters, they are superior in physical fitness, good at night fighting, good at accurate shooting, and well-armed, but lack heavy weapons.

It is recommended that the top department investigate the enemy's movements, and then assign heavy troops to eliminate them.
