"Disperse the search, pay attention to vigilance, and focus on the site of mine planting"

Ignoring the katana that fell to the ground, Ishiyama took out his Wang Ba box, opened the safe, pulled the bolt to load the bullet, and bent down vigilantly towards the mine pile.

Behind him, more than a dozen guard detachments also held 38 big covers, bent over, and scattered around Shi Zhengshan to search for vigilance.

A few minutes later, a search of the surrounding area was completed within a few hundred meters.

"No enemies were found around"

"All the mines in this area have been dug up"

The head of the guard detachment reported what they had found.

Hearing the news that all the mines were clear, Ishiyama squinted his eyes, and his heart was full of doubts.

He and his guards had planted only thirty-three mines in the area, and there were at least three hundred in the pile in front of him, and he remembered that the total number of mines carried by the entire brigade did not exceed five hundred.

Either this is an enemy mine, or other minefields must have been cleared.

Judging from the dirt marks on these mines, he leaned towards the second type, where all the mines they had planted a while ago had been cleared out and placed neatly there.

It's just, who can empty the minefield so quickly?

It's less than a moment before they planted the mines...

Three hundred mines were cleared at a time, and this efficiency would not be enough even if all the sappers of their brigade were dispatched, unless there was a specific identification map of the mines laid, and at least half a squad of soldiers would be required.

Moreover, in general, it would be good to clear only one passage for minesweeping, who would be so bored to dig out all the mines? And also deliberately put together?

"Retreat, go back to camp first"

"In addition, send someone to inform Sano and Matsuichi of the situation here, and order them to check the mines, and if the minefield is also cleared, then retreat immediately."

Withdrawing the loaded bullets, turning off the gun safe, and putting the gun box in the box, Ishiyama, who had thought to no avail, was leading the way back to the camp, and his guard detachment followed him back to the camp after dividing the two heralds.

"Squadron leader, all the mines in my warning area have also been emptied"

On the way back, Ishiyama met one of his captains, and the squadron leader brought the news that the minefield in his warning area had been cleared.

"Let's go back to camp first"

Glancing at the soldiers around him, Ishiyama was ordering the soldiers to go back to the camp first.

It's just that as soon as he took a step, he suddenly turned back, first staring around with wide eyes for a while, and then looking at him with a wary inquiry.

"Where's Akai-kun?"

With the inquiry of the captain of his own squadron, at this time, the guard detachment found that the private of Akai Houshan, who had been walking last, was missing.

"He hasn't reported his departure, and I saw him a minute ago"

Glancing at his detachment, he found that there were only nine of the original twelve soldiers left, and the captain of the guard detachment also looked puzzled, and it stands to reason that the soldiers of his detachment would report to him if they wanted to leave the team.

Moreover, he had seen the mountain behind Akai not long ago, and it wouldn't take more than a minute.

"One Minute"

Hearing the time, Ishiyama squinted his eyes and hesitated.

Soldiers who accompanied the group disappeared for no apparent reason, either by stealthily being killed or captured by the enemy, or by defecting on their own.

And combined with the fact that the white soldiers were quietly shot for no reason, and the incident of the guard post being completely destroyed last night, he was more inclined to the first option.

Just, do you want to go back and search? Or just retreat back to camp?

He looked around at the soldiers around him.

A squad plus his detachment of guards, a total of seventy soldiers.

"Let's go, go back the way you came"

Nearly 100 soldiers gave Shi Shan Zheng courage, he took out his Wang Ba box again, and planned to lead the team back to search, but when he reached out to draw his gun, the man was suddenly stunned, and then his hand shifted to his scabbard.

The scabbard was empty.

Only then did he realize that his katana seemed to have fallen off, and that he had forgotten to pick it up.

"Go" stunned for only a moment, and Ishiyama pulled out his gun.

Just fifty seconds later, Akai Houshan's body was found.

Shot in the head, the body fell straight down on a grassy ground that was only three hundred meters from where they had been.

Looking at the corpses of his subordinates, Shi Shan subconsciously took a few steps back, his eyes scanned around nervously, and at the same time, his fingers were nervously attached to the trigger, and the cold touch from the tips of his fingers made the fear in his heart decrease.

"Go back to camp now"

His voice trembled slightly.

······

Camp of the Wild Brigade.

Ishiyama fled back to the camp gate with one of his own teams and guard detachments.

At the same time, another alert team he sent returned and, as he expected, all the mines in the alert area were also cleared.

After ordering all the troops to converge, Ishiyama was about to report to the captain himself, but before leaving, he subconsciously glanced at his team.

However, this glance swept away the problem again.

He found that his guard captain was missing.

And, it seems, the number is not right.

At this time, the two teams had not yet converged once, his guard detachment and the team that was the first to converge were on the left, and the team that had just arrived was on the right.

Because the troops were in a state of formation, it was easy to count, and he counted the number of people at a glance.

There were only sixty-four people.

Six people less.

After scolding with trembling teeth, Ishiyama could only hide his fear with anger, and after a word of abuse, he immediately arranged for his troops to enter the camp bunker.

"Captain Masashi Ishiyama, what's going on?"

Just as Ishiyama's troops entered the camp in formation, Nonaka also rushed over.

As the captain of the brigade, Nochuchi was notified by the herald when the Ishiyama Shoji troops had just entered the camp, and he instantly understood that there must be an accident, otherwise his excellent subordinates would not leave their posts without permission.

"Captain, all the mines we laid have been cleared, and they are concentrated in the mountains and forests on the left."

"And in addition, our unit was attacked silently, and five soldiers were killed."

Ishiyama is making a concise report.

"What, all the mines have been cleared?"

Although he was mentally prepared, the specific content of the accident still surprised Nonaka Daiichi.

He had thought about the possibility of heavy casualties among the night vigilance troops, the possibility of discovering the traces of the columns, and the possibility of various other accidents, but he really didn't consider this when all the mines were cleared.

"Still neatly placed together?"

After being surprised, Nochuchi remembered what was going on.

"Yes, more than 300 mines are all neatly placed in the forest on the left."

The news was confirmed, and Nonaka was messy for a moment.

Baby·· Is this how it is demined?

He laid more than 430 mines, which were buried for a little more than an hour, and they were all dug up for me, and they were neatly placed in their place!

Isn't it a bit overly arrogant?

In addition to the fear and mess, the anger in Nonaka's heart is burning little by little.

If you clear mines, you will clear mines, can you just clear a channel in accordance with international practice? What are you digging it all out for? Forget it all after digging, what does it mean to put it together neatly in the end? Really when the Imperial Japanese Army is a soft persimmon?

However, the next scene instantly extinguished the anger that had not yet burned.

By the last light of the evening, he found that on the ground not far from the camp gate, two soldiers were lying upright, their heads tilted and straight on the ground, a posture that a normal person would never pose.
