"Watanabe, you take a squad up to reconnoitre" Aoki Shaosa looked at the terrain in front of him and said to the soldier Cao Watanabe. Metropolis. It is a valley with a canyon at the end of the valley with cliffs on both sides and a stream in the middle, and this terrain is the best place to ambush. This time they were on a secret march, and not many people knew their whereabouts. The British colonized Burma for many years, causing the locals to hate them and regard them as devils. After the Japanese came, they advertised themselves as the liberators of Southeast Asia, and preached everywhere their so-called 'Greater East Asia Co-prosperity', and the local Burmese natives regarded the Japanese as saviors, and the Chinese Expeditionary Force that helped the British to fight the Japanese was naturally hated by the locals, and their whereabouts were often reported to the Japanese by the local natives, which was also an important reason for the heavy losses suffered by the Chinese Expeditionary Force since it entered Burma. Recently, there have been reports from Burmese that Allied planes have appeared in this area, and that Aoki's squadron has come here to search.

"Yes, Your Excellency Shaosa," Watanabe replied, leading a squad of Japanese soldiers forward. The primeval forest in the valley is lush, full of large trees tens of meters high, with lush branches and leaves, the light in the forest is dim, and the vision is not very clear. Watanabe led the men up the stream, carefully observing the stone walls and shrubs on both sides to see if there were any signs of people climbing. Although the cliffs on both sides are steep, the rocks on the cliff are protruding, and there are many thatchs and dwarf trees growing on the stone walls, so it is not difficult to climb up, but it is bound to leave marks on the cliff wall. Watanabe looked carefully along the road, but there was no trace of anyone climbing, and the grass and trees on the stone wall were all natural, and there was no sign of human destruction.

After walking out for about a mile, the searching Japanese troops walked out of the canyon, and in front of them was a relatively open and flat land, and the light was much brighter. If someone wants to set up an ambush, they can only set up an ambush in the canyon, here, and the two sides will form a positional battle, which may not necessarily take advantage.

"Fire reconnaissance," Watanabe said uneasily, although he didn't find any traces of people crawling, it didn't mean that there was no danger. If someone lies in ambush on the top of the canyon or goes down halfway down from the top of the canyon, they will not find any traces. They walked back along the stream, shooting at the bushes on the rocky walls on either side of the canyon, knocking branches and thatch down. There was no movement in the valley except for the sound of gunfire and echoes. They walked all the way back to the starting point and found nothing out of the ordinary.

"I didn't find anything out of the ordinary, but I don't feel like the situation is right." Watanabe looked back at the dark canyon, a little uneasy, and his consciousness told him that there was danger lurking inside. "Normally, there are some wild birds inhabiting the thatched grass on both sides of the canyon, but we strafed along the road and didn't see a single bird flying out of the grass, which is abnormal in itself."

Aoki looked up at the canyon in front of him, carefully considering Watanabe's words, Watanabe's words were reasonable, but they couldn't just camp in this forest and stop. Moreover, the search was not yet complete, and he could not go back now, unless he knew for sure that there was an ambush ahead, so he could only gamble.

"Watanabe, you take your squad over first, and after passing the canyon, be on guard, and pass in batches, although it will take a little more time, but in case someone is ambushed, you can reduce the loss." Aoki thought for a while and decided to cross the canyon in batches.

"Yes, Your Excellency Shaoza," Watanabe turned around and walked forward with a small group of Japanese soldiers. "The line lined up in two lines and walked against the valley wall." Walking to the mouth of the gorge, Watanabe divided the team into two teams, so that he could minimize losses in the event of an ambush.

"The little devil of the dog day stops being cunning" Zhao Zhi, who was watching from the top of the cliff, saw the actions of the Japanese army, and felt both hatred and respect in his heart. Not only was it not easy for Watanabe to be seen, but their guns and stones prepared at the top of the valley were not lethal during the battle, and the narrow valley was not easy to attack, so they had to rely on the splashing of bombs to kill and injure the enemy.

The material hoarding point that Zhao Zhi and the others selected was in a valley not far from here, and when the Aoki squadron was still 30 miles away, it was discovered by the goat's scouts. After thinking about it, Zhao Zhi decided to use the terrain here to beat them. Watching the movement at the bottom of the valley closely, the more Zhao Zhi looked, the more confused he became, the Japanese army in front was already about to leave the canyon, but the Japanese army behind had not yet caught up, could it be that this team of Japanese soldiers was exploring the way again? It's impossible, the Japanese army has already sent a team of people to explore the road, and they will send another team of people to explore the second way, and this time there are about 100 people, so it is unreasonable to send so many people to explore the second way? Zhao Zhi was a little confused.

"Report to the sir, that team of little devils will come out of the encirclement." A scout ran to report.

Zhao Zhi looked at the bottom and was a little difficult to choose. Beat? The main force of the Japanese army was still in the forest, although there were also troops in ambush there, but the Japanese army was near the mouth of the valley, and once the battle began, the main force of the Japanese army would be able to get out of the valley and jump out of the encirclement, so that an ambush he had carefully arranged would fail. Don't fight? Most of the Japanese would not return to the gorge after the passage had passed, and it seemed that the cunning Japanese commander had divided his troops into several groups to pass through the canyon in turn, so that there would always be only so many people in the canyon.

"Dog, I can't care so much, let's start" Zhao Zhi made up his mind, the plan he originally designed to annihilate the Japanese army in the canyon seemed to be unworkable, he had to make a decision immediately, otherwise, the opportunity must not be lost, and the time will not come again, and it will take some effort to let this team of Japanese go out of the canyon and then eat them.

With Zhao Zhi's order, a red signal flare rose into the air. On the top of the hill at the exit of the canyon, the soldiers of the advance battalion saw the attack signal and pushed down the stones prepared in advance, and for a time the rocks fell like rain at the mouth of the canyon, and in a short period of time, a large number of stones fell to the bottom of the valley with a "bang" and piled up into a stone wall, which blocked the road out of the valley.

Watanabe, who was leading his men forward, suddenly heard a "boom" sound, and looked up to see that some people on the mountain were shaking their heads and rolling rocks down, and at the same time, there was a loud sound of gunfire in the valley. What he feared finally happened, "Retreat, exit," he shouted hurriedly, directing his squad to return the way they came.

Aoki, who was preparing to organize the second group of troops to cross the canyon in the forest, heard the sound of a signal flare, and when he looked up, he saw a red signal flare dragging its tail into the sky, even in broad daylight, it looked very dazzling. "Oh no, there was an ambush here." He secretly screamed badly, "Hirota, you lead the team to quickly rush to the mouth of the valley, seize the position, keep the passage, you must defend it for me, cover Watanabe's retreat, and the rest of the troops are scattered and hidden, and break through to the rear with all their might." ”

"Yes." Hirota led people to the mouth of the valley, and the Japanese troops in the forest immediately dispersed and hidden, breaking out.

"You guys are here to stay, fight slowly, and be sure to wipe them all out." Zhao Zhi ordered, he had to rush to the front to command the battle, for him, this small group of Japanese troops in the canyon was just a small dish, and the main force of the Japanese army in the forest was a big meal.

Zhao Zhi led more than a hundred submachine gunners to the front. The Japanese troops in the canyon are already catching turtles in the jar - ten are ten and ten are stable. Although he also arranged more than 100 people in the forest in front, the front was the main event, and for the sake of safety, he sent more than 100 submachine gunners from the valley to reinforce them.

When the Hirota team reached the mouth of the valley, the soldiers of the advance battalion had already rushed down from the top of the hill in groups, but they were still several hundred meters away from the valley floor.

"Organize a line of defense and hold them off," Hirota commanded loudly with a command knife. The Japanese quickly found shelter, using trees, rocks or dirt pits in the ground as cover, and lay down on both sides of the valley mouth, leaving a 100-meter-wide passage in the middle. In front were infantry, and in the rear grenadier positions were set up in more secluded places, and several artillery observers "swished" twice and climbed several tall trees. They are at the bottom of the valley, and their upward view is not smooth, and it is much wider when they climb up the trees, so that it is easier to observe the enemy's situation, especially the situation of the enemy's artillery, so as to guide their artillery to strike the enemy more accurately.

As soon as they had set up their positions, the soldiers of the expeditionary force who had come down from the top of the hill had already rushed to a place less than a hundred meters from them. The Japanese troops were lying motionless behind their bunkers, and they had to put the expeditionary force within 50 meters before firing. The advance battalion was condescending, the momentum was rapid, and it rushed to a place 50 meters away from the Japanese army, and before the Japanese soldiers began to shoot, there was a bamboo whistle on the mountain, and the soldiers of the advance battalion who rushed down fell to the ground in unison.

"Hit" Roger shouted, and the soldiers of the advance battalion who were dormant on the ground suddenly picked up their submachine guns and fired in front, and the bullets splashed straight towards the Japanese army like a water dragon that opened the floodgates. The Japanese army's 38 rifle was far from being the opponent of the submachine gun, and it was pressed dead behind the concealment, and it was difficult to counterattack for a while. "Lean up, lean up" Under Roger's command, the soldiers of the advance battalion alternately approached the Japanese defense line with cover, and did not stop until 30 meters away. is already within the range of the grenade, so Roger will not foolishly let his soldiers become the target of the Japanese grenade bombardment.

"Block, block" Under Hirota's shouting, the Japanese troops leaned out from behind the bunker to shoot, and the two sides fought happily from a distance of 30 meters. A devil took out a grenade, pulled the primer, and before he could throw it out, he was swept by a string of bullets and fell to the ground, the grenade exploded in the group of devils, and several devils around were blown up and flew away. After all, bolt-action rifles are no match for submachine guns, and the Japanese soldiers who wanted to throw grenades were hit one after another, and the grenades thrown on the ground could not reach 30 meters at all, and Hirota was completely suppressed by Roger at the mouth of the valley.
