The captain was in a hurry to summon him early in the morning, and the clever Kuramoto knew that there must be an urgent combat mission.

Sure enough, as soon as they met, the captain Junichi Koizumi did not say a word of nonsense, and directly issued the combat mission.

Standing in front of the soldiers, Kuramoto touched the map in his pocket through his woolen uniform, and habitually clenched the handle of his knife. Although he had some doubts about this operation, as a qualified imperial soldier, he did not hesitate at all.

"Loyal and fearless soldiers of the Empire, we have just received an information that the main force of the Eighth Route Army, which has been hiding with us in the mountains for a long time, is hiding in Wolong Mountain.

This time, His Excellency the Group Commander entrusted this extremely important task to our Second Infantry Squadron, which is a sign of trust and affirmation in our squadron. Here, I, Kuramoto Fuwu, also ask you to fight bravely, and you must not disappoint His Majesty the Emperor's ardent expectations for the Great East Asian Holy War, understand? ”

"Hey ......!"

"His Majesty the Emperor is onboard!"

"Onboard ......."

……

Under Kuramoto's instigation, more than 100 Japanese soldiers roared like beasts, and their faces were full of hysterical madness.

……

In order to achieve the effect of a surprise attack, the Japanese Takeuchi Wing not only transferred vehicles from the transport squadron directly under the wing to Kuramoto for their use, but even provided cars to the puppet army assisting in the battle.

The Kuramoto squadron of more than 180 people, plus two platoons of forty puppet elites, set off directly from the county seat in ten trucks and went straight to Wolong Mountain.

……

At four o'clock in the afternoon, outside the mountain village.

Gushan Village is a remote village in the northwest area of Nakajo Mountain, and due to its deviation from the main road, it does not even exist on the map. Due to the lack of traffic, there are not many villagers here, with less than 40 households.

Like many villagers in the mountains, the villagers are very poor and have to work hard to survive on small plots of land in the nearby valleys.

As the days get closer to the autumn harvest, most of the villagers are returning home to repair farm tools and tidy up their barns to prepare for the upcoming autumn harvest after a busy day.

Before the second company arrived here, they had just attacked the house of a large landlord of the maintenance association in Wen County next door, and seized a lot of grain.

After coming to the backer village, Shen Cunzhi specially distributed more than 20 catties of grain to each villager.

It really made the villagers of the backing village very happy. In recent days, the 2nd Company has dispatched half of its troops every day to help villagers repair farm tools and houses. The simple villagers vacated a few yards and gave them to the Eighth Route Army to live in.

Since the division of troops in Shipan Village, Shen Cunzhi and Hao Ping first evacuated the villagers in the base area along the way and destroyed the roads. After that, he marched in concealment for two days and one night, and after breaking through the Japanese blockade line, he entered the territory of Wenxian County, which was in the rear of the Japanese army, and fought several beautiful ambush battles in a row, stirring up the Japanese puppet army in the east of Wenxian County.

When the Japanese army decided to draw troops back to encircle and suppress, Shen Cunzhi and the others retreated decisively and quickly, and directly returned to Jiangxian County, and also pulled out a stronghold with an empty garrison by the way, so that the angry Japanese army once again pounced.

Because the main force of the Japanese sweeping force on the Eastern Front was extracted to encircle and suppress the remnants of the 70th Division and the 98th Army of the Jinsui Army, the Japanese troops who remained in Xiaxian, Wenxian, and Jiangxian had only one Koizumi Infantry Brigade and a transport squadron of more than 800 people from the Takeuchi Wing.

In the face of the second company, which left without a single blow, the Japanese army was tired of coping with loopholes, and failed to catch the second company after nearly a month.

In the face of the "flowing" of the Eighth Road, Koizumi Daisa, who had once again filled the void, in order to prevent the Eighth Route from continuing to take advantage of the division of troops into the mountain, arranged one squadron to the east of Xia County, and the other squadron to the east of Wen County, Hedi Town, and the last squadron stayed in Jiangxian County with the brigade headquarters as the main mobile support force of the brigade. As for the puppet army, they were sent to some important strongholds in batches to strengthen the blockade force.

……

The mountain village in autumn is quiet and lurks a little joy of harvest.

The topography of the village is the same as that of his name, which is a small village built on the side of the mountain.

The village is flanked by vegetated peaks, steep and tall in the south and soothing and low in the north.

In the middle of the village is a valley more than 100 meters wide. The houses in the mountain village are built along the north hill near a clear stream.

As a result of generations of labor in the mountains, the land on the outskirts of the compact village has been occupied by patches of land that have been cultivated with hard work, and as the autumn harvest approaches, the not spacious valley is dyed golden with grain.

After the second company entered the village, it arranged two guard posts along the valleys on both sides as usual, extending a distance of one mile from east to west.

Because it is only less than six miles away from Wolong Mountain, and the nearby terrain is dangerously far away from the main road, the nearest puppet army stronghold from here is also forty miles away. Therefore. The village is a quiet corner that is rarely visited.

……

At dusk, on a stone halfway up the mountainside, three sentries of the Second Company whispered.

More than 30 meters below them is the path into the mountain on the east side of the mountain village, where you can see the movement on the road clearly.

In a trance, as a gust of mountain wind blew, a small strange appearance came from the grass not far from the three of them, which aroused the vigilance of a warrior.

Picking up his gun, he looked at the grass that was swaying from side to side in the wind, and the young warrior looked puzzled.

"It's strange, I heard footsteps just now."

The other two warriors also got up and looked at him with his gaze, and then said with a smile: "Erbao, don't be surprised, this generation is very safe, don't scare yourself, don't scare yourself." ”

Wen Yan looked at his comrades who were sitting down behind him and continued to monitor the path, and Erbao finally decided to go over and take a look.

Lowering his head and re-tying his straw sandals, Erbao picked up his gun and left the hidden place, using his bayonet to randomly stir the dense weeds and shrubs around him, while carefully searching forward.

After walking out for more than ten meters, Erbao never found anything suspicious.

Shaking his head, just as he turned around and was about to walk back, with a low drink, a short and sturdy devil captain suddenly jumped out of the grass two meters behind Erbao, and stabbed Erbao in the back of the heart while throwing Erbao to the ground.

"Well...... devil ......!"

Erbao, who fell to the ground, wanted to fire a warning shot, but he didn't open the insurance just now, and he didn't fire it after a few strokes, so he could only shout the only warning in pain.

And the two warriors opposite him reacted when Erbao fell to the ground with a pop.

Unfortunately, just as the two of them were about to pick up their guns, several devil soldiers had already swarmed up from behind them, followed by a frenzied stabbing .......

Shortly after the first guard post was silently eliminated, Kuramoto appeared at the location of Erbao's corpse just now and fiddled with the corpse of Hachiro on the ground.

"Whoosh, the intelligence is really true, there are definitely regular troops stationed here."

At this moment, a devil squad leader ran over out of breath.

"Report to the captain, the second guard post of the Eighth Road has been found not far ahead, and I can already see a small village ahead, I have already arranged for someone to go over!"

"Yo Xi! Ono-kun, you're doing a great job! …… Ohashi-kun! ”

"Here!"

Looking at an ensign who had walked in front of him, Kuramoto pointed to Kitayama not far away.

"You immediately take your squad and bypass the North Mountain from here and block the exit in the other direction of the valley, understand?"

"Hey!" ……

Soon, the devil divided a team of more than fifty people and went around the north mountain.

Successfully found the hiding place of Hachiro, which made Kuramoto's mood extremely excited. Although it is not clear the specific strength of the other party, Kuramoto did not take it seriously at all.

Although the Eighth Road is brave, its equipment is inferior and ammunition is scarce, so even if the other party has hundreds of people, Kuramoto will not take it seriously. What's more, since the large-scale sweep of the imperial army, in order to prevent being annihilated by the imperial army, the Eighth Route has had to further disperse their already weak forces, and it is estimated that they will not even dare to retain the battalion-level structure.

With such a small force, it is not the slightest difficulty for the strength of one squadron of one's own to fight.

Not long after, the second guard post of the second company was also ended.

After removing the second guard post, Kuramoto and the others had clearly seen the backing village built at the foot of the mountain.

At this moment, Kuramoto's glasses even saw a dozen gray figures on the outskirts of the village, who seemed to be helping the villagers repair their houses.

"Yo Xi, after advancing fifty meters covertly, the heavy machine gun detachment immediately set up firing positions at the commanding heights on both sides!"

At the sound of an order, a large number of devils continued to search forward across Kuramoto in small detachments.

After leading the people along the grass and fields on the side of the north mountain and touching a few dozen meters forward, more than a dozen machine gunners quickly rushed out of the grass with a Type 92 heavy machine gun, and after preparing to climb more than 20 meters up the mountain, they began to set up heavy machine gun positions. Another detachment of heavy machine guns left the grass and ran towards a ridge in the middle of the valley, where they prepared to place the second heavy machine gun.

It is still more than 100 meters away from the outskirts of the mountain village, which can be used to cover the attacking Japanese army.

However, just as the heavy machine-gun detachment was leaving the bushes, a volley of guns suddenly came from the halfway point of Nanshan Mountain, nearly 200 meters away.

Bang bang......

At a distance of 200 meters, Hanyang's accuracy and lethality dropped exponentially, and although a rain of bullets enveloped the machine gun detachment in the valley, it only pierced the leg and stomach of an unlucky machine gunner.

Startled by the sudden sound of gunshots, Kuramoto frowned slightly.

"Eight roads are cunning and cunning, and they actually set up a secret whistle on the steep slope of Nanshan!"
