The houses in the stockade were made of wood, poured with oil, and set on fire.

There is no shortage of wood in the Dragonscale Mountains, and people have lived here for a long time, and the technology of building houses out of wood has been perfected day by day.

In the northernmost part of the stockade, the floors of several large houses were filled with old men, women, and children, and several Japanese soldiers armed with bayonets were guarding the surrounding areas.

The devils are so fierce that they don't allow anyone to speak, and they don't allow children to cry. There were several corpses on the side, all of them disobedient and killed.

More than a dozen girls were locked up in the next room, and a few of the little devils who guarded them had evil smiles on their faces.

A hidden attic has become a temporary headquarters for devils, and the windows around it are tightly blocked, so that candlelight cannot escape. From here, you can see most of the village.

"Your Excellency Lieutenant Yoshida, what if the soldiers of China who raided our army's Winged Valley do not pass by here?" A young Japanese second lieutenant with a lieutenant's sword at his waist asked.

"While the brigade commander, General Muraki, was shocked by the attack on the Winged Valley, he was more angry. Our Imperial Japanese Army has never suffered such a loss on the battlefield of China, and it has not even left a single word of the corpse of the other party, which is the greatest shame for our Imperial Japanese Army.

Therefore, General Kimura ordered our troops to rob and kill this small Chinese detachment, otherwise the morale of our army will be damaged. The successful sneak attack on the Winged Valley without one injury on the other side will cause the entire annihilation of our army, and it will become a lesson plan for the entire world's military circles, and it will be a shame for our army. ”

The middle-aged officer, known as Lieutenant Yoshida by the young second lieutenant, sat in a chair with his eyes closed with a sinister face, his military boots clean, and his white-gloved hands holding the captain's sword.

Lieutenant Yoshida continued: "The general summoned all the people from the War Department and the Special Operations Department overnight to enter the Winged Valley to inspect the battlefield, and finally deduced that the Winged Valley was attacked by a Chinese army of about 40 people.

The War Department and the Special Operations Department have deduced all the routes that the Chinese army may go to many times in a sand table. In the end, everyone unanimously agreed that the Chinese army that had attacked our Winged Valley came from the Nanping Military Region, and they came from the Dragon Scale Mountain Range and would definitely return from the Dragon Scale Mountain Range. ”

"But what if they don't go this way...... said the young lieutenant.

"No in case, Second Lieutenant Hirata!" Lieutenant Yoshida waved his hand to interrupt Hirata's words, continued to close his eyes and recuperate, and said, "The people of China can save more than ten kilometers of mountain roads when they return to the Jinping Military Region from here. You must know that these more than ten miles of mountain roads are an insurmountable hurdle for the people of China who march in a hurry overnight. The people of China would never go far when they thought it was safe. According to the precise calculations of the Special Warfare Department, the physical strength of the people of China has already been seriously overdrawn, and they will definitely take a shortcut to pass here. ”

Second Lieutenant Hirata nodded. He was emaciated, with a falcon-like gaze and a slanted scar on the left side of his face, like a centipede in the faint flickering of candlelight.

Lieutenant Yoshida continued, "The Shina people are greedy, and they will be so greedy that they will take all the weapons in our arsenal in the Winged Valley. Although the people of China blew up two 92 infantry guns and the weapons and ammunition in the armory when they left, the people in the war department could still tell from the broken guns that they had taken at least 30 38 large covers, as well as a large amount of food, a large number of grenades and grenades. ”

Second Lieutenant Hirata's gloomy eyes contracted. When it was dark, their small detachment, which was carrying out a mysterious mission, suddenly received a telegram from the brigade headquarters saying that a Chinese unit had raided the Winged Valley, and all the soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Army stationed in the Winged Valley were killed.

Lieutenant Yoshida took a sip of tea and continued: "The War Department judged that the weapons, ammunition, food and supplies that the people of China had taken with them, plus their own weapons and ammunition, each of them had to carry at least twenty kilograms of weight for a long return.

The commander of the people in China is also considered a talent.

Based on the climate and topography of the Dragonscale Mountains, he could tell that our army would not be able to intercept them on their way back, so he asked his soldiers to return with a lot of loot. ”

Second Lieutenant Hirata's smug face showed smugness, and the scar was like a gray centipede: "But they didn't count the existence of our invincible squad. ”

Lieutenant Yoshida nodded, and his face also showed smugness: "They were afraid of reinforcements from our army after they attacked the Winged Valley, so they didn't rest, and immediately embarked on the road back without stopping. When we intercept them here, we have done a great job.

There is an old Chinese saying called the end of a strong crossbow, and it is difficult to penetrate the reed. Our army waited here for the people of China to come to the door and annihilate them all. ”

Second Lieutenant Hirata asked, "Your Excellency, what should I do if the people of Shina pass by here and see death passing by without help?" ”

Lieutenant Yoshida smiled: "Hirata-kun, you still don't know the Chinese, they will definitely enter the village, because the Shina soldiers have a natural weakness, that is, they have the kindness of women, and they can't see children and old people suffering in the flames of war."

They do not understand that in war, the bloodshed of the common people is indispensable.

Moreover, the people of China like to be clever and like to study the outdated art of war and tactics left by their ancestors.

They like to brag blindly and arrogantly about how powerful the art of war is, which is no longer suitable for the current war.

They will surely think that if we set fire to the stockade, they will judge ourselves to set up an ambush in another place.

They like to immerse themselves in the impractical art of war, and often in the end, they get around themselves. ”

"Report to Lieutenant Yoshida, we have found traces of the Shina people." A Japanese soldier walked up to the second floor, his feet clasped together, his chest bowed, and the people of China appeared on the Dragon Scale Mountains to the west of the stockade, heading towards the stockade.

Lieutenant Yoshida opened his eyes.

"And sure enough, it came. How many people. Second Lieutenant Hirata asked.

The soldier said: "There is a light fog outside, and I can't see how many people there are, but I can only see dozens of fire spots that look like cigarette butts." ”

Lieutenant Yoshida frowned, stood up, picked up the binoculars on the table, and walked to the window: "What the hell is that person doing, he actually saw that the stockade was on fire and was in the mood to smoke." ”

Second Lieutenant Hirata and the soldier hurriedly blew out the two lights in the room.

Lieutenant Yoshida took the binoculars and asked, "Are the wolves already gone, don't let them mess with it?" ”

The soldier said, "Hiratsuka-kun and Ishikawa-kun shot seven or eight big wolves, and it is estimated that the wolves have left after being frustrated. ”

Lieutenant Yoshida stood at the window and looked at the door of the stockade and said, "Yo Xi! There are two sniper rifles, Hiratsuka-kun and Ishikawa-kun, and the Chinese army that sneaked up on my winged valley will be difficult to fly as long as it enters the stockade. ”

The fire was blazing inside the gate, and it was dark outside, and several Chinese soldiers dressed in rags like Hanako appeared in Lieutenant Yoshida's binoculars.
