Chapter 381: The Dark Jungle Hides Killing Opportunities

ps: It's going to be the New Year.,The mentality is a little unstable.,The chapter last night was compressed too hard.,I feel like there are a lot of things that can't be explained clearly.,So it's split into two chapters.,Friends who have read it don't have to read it.,It doesn't affect the development of the plot.。

On 30 March, Tonggu fell, the 200th Division and the newly formed 22nd Division retreated to Yedashe, and the main force of the Japanese invaders advanced to the Tonggu line.

On 1 April, the headquarters of the Japanese Fifth Army decided to "defeat the enemy in front of it, and first advance to the line of Legu (also known as Leke), Yangmiding, and Ren'anqiang."

Accordingly, the Japanese soldiers were divided into three routes: the 56th Division of the Japanese invaders crossed the Xidang River from Tonggu on the east road and marched northeast to attack another important town along the Moltke Highway - Leigu; The 55th Division of the Japanese Invaders in the middle continued to advance north to force Yedashe, and then captured Pingmanna; The 33rd Division of the Japanese Invaders on the West Road continued to advance northward, advancing to the line of Prome and Despicable.

On the same day, the British army on the Western Front successively abandoned Prome and Beme and retreated north to the Aramme area.

At this point, in the area east of the Inovady River and west of the Sidtang River, the enemy and us were facing each other on the Zaze and Yedase lines, and the 33rd Japanese Division of the 66th Regiment was in the southwest of the Inferior Line, and the 55th Division of the Japanese invaders was in the southeast from the Tonggu Line, which was already exposed to the Japanese troops.

On the night of the first of April, the crescent moon was a minute thicker and brighter than the previous night, but other than that, there seemed to be no difference between this night and the previous night.

In the hazy night, there was silence on the southeast outpost of the 66th Regiment, without a trace of light, and there was a faint snoring gently wafting in the trenches.

After applying the ointment, the brothers of the special service company were no longer attacked by mosquitoes and flies, but they also slept soundly for two nights, and even the snoring was not as heavy as the previous nights.

As the night deepened, the brothers on the Minggang and the secret sentry were still holding on, with knives at their waists and guns in their hands, and the murderous intentions were gloomy, coupled with the smeared faces, just like a ghost soldier who respectfully chose people and devoured them.

The term "ghost soldiers" is not just a joke of the brothers, it is the dream of every soldier to be on the battlefield, to be elusive and invisible.

In the night, the low ridge stood quietly, peaceful and peaceful, and no one knew how many murderous opportunities were hidden in the dense forest!

The low ridge is only more than 100 meters long and wide, and 30 or 50 meters high, but it just stands on the north bank of the Xiaohe River, blocking the road leading to Zaze in Tonggu.

The low ridge is densely forested, with towering ancient trees in the dense forest, vines and weeds, and a thick layer of dead branches and fallen leaves...... If it weren't for the fortifications on the ridge, no one would have seen that there was an army hiding here.

As early as the beginning of the establishment of the position, Li Siwei gave an order: the fortifications should be built on the ridge, and not a single grass or tree under the ridge should be moved.

Because, this is just an outpost.

As the name suggests, outpost positions are primarily used as guards, and no commander would ever count on using an outpost position to hold off the enemy.

How can we buy and sell the little devil in addition to being vigilant?

Hide!

The better you hide it, the more hopeful you are that the whole little devil will be sold!

As dawn approached, the fog began to fill, adding an eerie and terrifying aura to the dimly lit forest.

Among the vines behind a big tree, Dou Erhu, who was leaning against the trunk of the tree and closing his eyes to recuperate, suddenly opened his eyes and pricked up his ears.

"Whoa...... Whoop ......"

The faint sound of water drifting into the dense forest and burrowing into his ears, small and faint.

"Quack...... quack quack ......"

Immediately, the sound of frogs was heard.

The small river in front of the ridge maintained its original style, and the aborigines in the reeds on both sides were not disturbed, and at this time they became the sentinels of the 66th Regiment.

Since nature has infinite power, why not turn it into our ally?

"Quack...... Quack ......"

Dou Erhu also puffed out his cheeks to learn the frog chirping, and Thomson submachine gun was already in his hand, and slowly stood up, looking vigilantly at the edge of the dense forest.

Immediately, the sound of frogs in the dense forest came and went, until it reached the ridge, although the frog sound was not as high-pitched as the frog sound on both sides of the river, but it had a fixed rhythm, "croak...... Quack ......"

The sound of frogs reached the ridge, and the brothers in the trenches got up from their sleep, quickly sorted out their equipment, and assembled in squads.

In the air-raid shelter, Huang Hua crossed the submachine gun, swept away the generals who were hurriedly assembled, and Dahua had a hideous smile on his face, "Wei Hua and Deshan entered the forest, and Dali and Xianwu detoured from the left flank, Feng Xian followed me first...... The sound of the frog is the number, and I have listened carefully to Lao Tzu! ”

"Quack...... quack quack ......"

The sound of frogs on the ridge has disappeared, and the frogs below the ridge are still high-pitched.

Yaga!

Warrant Officer Watanabe, who had just touched the middle of the river, scolded secretly, hurriedly stepped up, and quickly waded across the river more than 20 meters wide with more than 20 little devils, and touched the reeds on the bank, and there was no sound.

"Quack...... Quack ......"

The sound of frogs gradually dissipated, and there was silence on both sides of the river, and there was still no sound on the ridge.

After a while, the reeds swayed gently, and Warrant Officer Watanabe and his gang crept into the dense forest on the hillside.

On the other side of the river, in the reeds, the main force of the squad led by Second Lieutenant Takeuchi had already lurked in it, and the crooked handles and rapid-fire guns were aimed at the dense forest on the low ridge, ready for fire support.

Yaga!

The sound of frogs dissipated, and Second Lieutenant Takeuchi secretly breathed a sigh of relief and stared closely at the movement on the low ridge.

In the hazy night, Warrant Officer Watanabe and his gang disappeared into the dense forest.

After the occupation of Tonggu, the headquarters of the Japanese Fifth Army began to prepare to march to Pingmanna, and the 55th Division was ready to repeat the old trick after receiving the order, sending reconnaissance planes to find out the strength of the Yedashee line, choosing the Zazawa defense line on the right flank of the defenders as a breakthrough, and sending Araki's brigade to raid.

And the Takeuchi squad is the infiltration force of the Araki Infantry Brigade, and they have touched it all the way here.

It seems that the defensive deployment of the Zazawa defenders is a little lax!

Second Lieutenant Takeuchi saw that there had been no movement on the low ridge, and a contemptuous smile crept up on the corner of his mouth.

"Quack ......"

As soon as Ensign Takeuchi's smile was put to rest, a frog's cry rang out from the reeds on the opposite bank, high-pitched and long.

Yaga!

Second Lieutenant Takeuchi's smile suddenly froze, and he heard the sound of frogs.

"Quack quack ......"

The cacophony of frogs was particularly harsh on the eve of dawn.

The frogs are croaking, and no one can stop them except kill them all.

Obviously, Second Lieutenant Takeuchi couldn't do it at this time.

"Quack...... Quack ......"

Finally, the sound of the frogs gradually subsided and dispersed, and Second Lieutenant Takeuchi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Second Lieutenant," at this moment, Warrant Officer Sakaguchi leaned over gently, his voice low and hoarse, "Watanabe-kun, they've been there for a while......"

"Uh......"

Second Lieutenant Takeuchi was stunned, looked at the quiet low ridge on the other side, and frowned.

Indeed, the frog has been loud for a while...... Watanabe-kun and his entourage can't have an accident, right?

No!

Absolutely not!

Second Lieutenant Takeuchi hurriedly rejected this ridiculous idea, not to mention the gunshots on the other side, and even the screams never rang out.

But......

Second Lieutenant Takeuchi was still frowning and thinking, but he heard Warrant Officer Sakaguchi shout softly, "Second Lieutenant, my department ......"

"Cross the river!"

Second Lieutenant Takeuchi came back to his senses and waved his hand gently.

"Hey!"

Warrant Officer Sakaguchi said yes and left in a hurry.

Not long after, Warrant Officer Sakaguchi crossed the river with more than 20 people, and went straight to the hillside, causing another sound of frogs, "Quack...... quack quack ......"

Second Lieutenant Takeuchi saw that the front team had successfully entered the dense forest, and hurriedly led the rear team down the river, and the frog sound suddenly became a little higher-pitched.

"Quack ......"

"Ah......h

In the midst of the noisy frog sound, a short howl rose and fell.

Vaguely hearing the short and miserable howl mixed with the sound of frogs, Second Lieutenant Takeuchi was startled and quickly stopped, and at the same time clenched his right hand into a fist and raised it high above the top, and the little devils around him stopped in the middle of the river and listened attentively.

"Quack...... Quack ......"

Listening carefully, the little devils could only hear the noisy sound of frogs.

Second Lieutenant Takeuchi listened for a while with a gloomy face, gritted his teeth, and went to the shore first.

I guess I heard it wrong!

I must have heard it wrong!

How could the best scouts of the Imperial Army be quietly planted in this small low ridge!

If Second Lieutenant Takeuchi had known about the enemy hiding in the low ridge, he would never have been so confident.

Unfortunately, Second Lieutenant Takeuchi did not know the achievements of the special service company in the mountains of western Henan, so he quickly touched the shore with the only two remaining detachments and got into the dense forest.

The little devils have their own tactics when they enter the forest--a group of three and three groups of three echo each other in the shape of horns, but as soon as this formation enters the dense forest, it is divided by the ancient trees and the dense vines and trees, and the little devils have to go into the dark depths of the dense forest in groups of three.

Suddenly, Second Lieutenant Takeuchi vaguely smelled a bloody breath, and suddenly his heart was shocked, and he hurriedly waved his gun, stopped the guards guarding on both sides, and looked vigilantly into the depths of the dense forest, but as far as his eyes could see, there was only the mist and the shadows of the trees, vines, and dead branches and leaves in the mist.

"Bang...... Boom...... Bang ......"

At this moment, the muffled crashing sound sounded one after another, "Poof...... Burst...... Creak...... Squeak......", the sound of heavy objects falling on thick dead leaves.

Not good!

Second Lieutenant Takeuchi was startled, and hurriedly opened his mouth to shout, but he heard the sound of the wind behind him, and a chill came to his heart.

"Poof......

Before Ensign Takeuchi could react, he felt a pain in his heart.

"Bang ......"

Even though Xuan was knocked to the ground by a strong force, his throat was tightly encircled by an arm, his mouth was round and flustered, but the roar was stuck in his throat, "Coo...... Goo ......"

Pressed to the ground deadly, Second Lieutenant Takeuchi saw in the corner of his eye that the guard on the right was also thrown to the ground, and a big man was pressing against the guard's back, wrapping his neck and brandishing a short knife to stab him in the back of the heart, one knife, another knife...... The cold light flickered, and the blood splattered.

At this moment, Ensign Takeuchi's mind suddenly became clear...... The person who was pressed on his back must be doing the same thing, right?

However, Second Lieutenant Takeuchi was already numb at this time, and he couldn't feel the slightest pain!

"It's over, right?"

The big man who was pressing on the guard on the right suddenly let go of his arm, put away his knife, and looked back at the back of Lieutenant Takeuchi, his blood-red eyes flashing with excitement.

A beam of moonlight fell through the gaps in the branches and leaves above the dense forest, shining right on his face, illuminating a hideous flower face clearly.

"Ghost ...... Ghost ......"

Seeing that flowery face, Second Lieutenant Takeuchi opened his mouth as if he had returned to the light, and squeezed out the voice in his throat vividly, along with the bubbling blood foam.

"Holy shit!"

Hou Weihua let go of Second Lieutenant Takeuchi, put away the knife, sat down next to the corpse, and shook his head at Dou Erhu, who had just asked, "Listen to the company commander's code, it should all be here." ”

"Fuck,"

Dou Erhu breathed a sigh of relief, inserted the bayonet back into his waist, turned over and sat next to the corpse, "What's the corpse doing?" ”

"The old rules!"

Hou Weihua relieved himself, put away the bayonet, squatted next to the corpse and began to pull up, "They are all scouts, nothing good......

The morning light gradually illuminated the earth, and in the hazy dense forest, only corpses were scattered among the dead branches and leaves, vines and weeds, and the corpses were naked, revealing a series of shocking knife cuts, some on the back, some on the neck......

At this time, the main force of the Araki Brigade had arrived less than two miles away, and was waiting for news from the Takeuchi team.

"Yaga!"

In the middle army, Araki Shaosa looked at the sky, and then looked in the direction of Zazawa, and scolded anxiously, "That fool Takeuchi Kuan, why hasn't there been any movement until now?" ”

"Shao Zuo,"

As soon as Araki Shaosa's words fell, the commander of the front team, Captain Muta, hurriedly came with a little devil with an embarrassed image and a frightened expression, with a solemn expression, "The Takeuchi squad has only returned Corporal Ono!" ”

After that, Captain Muta looked at Corporal Ono with a frightened expression, "Tell me what you know!" ”

"Hey," Corporal Ono hurriedly agreed, looking at Araki Shaosa, the look of horror on his face slightly lessened, "Ensign...... Ensign they ......"

"Yaga!"

Araki Shaosa was angry, and his eyes widened, "Such an image, what kind of system!" ”

"Hey!"

Corporal Ono was startled, and hurriedly lowered his head, but there was a little less horror in his expression, and his words became smoother, "With the order, the second lieutenant took us straight to the ...... of Misawa."

"Yaga!"

Araki Shaosa interrupted the little devil's words irritably, "Tell the point! ”

"Hey!"

Corporal Ono was stunned, and hurriedly hung his head again, and went straight to the point, "At dawn, our unit went to the front about two miles, where there was a small river, no more than thirty meters wide, the water was only knee-deep, and there was a low ridge on the opposite bank, and the second lieutenant was afraid that the people of China would establish an outpost position on the ridge, so he asked Warrant Officer Watanabe to cross the river first with two squads, but it was ......"

Corporal Ono detailed what he had seen with his team, and Araki Shaosa frowned when he heard it.

"Ono-kun!"

After a long time, Araki Shaosa suddenly turned his eyes and glared at Corporal Ono, "Think about it again...... You haven't heard anything on the other side of the river all the time? ”

"Uh......" Corporal Ono frowned and thought about it, and suddenly a flash of inspiration came to him, "Frog sound...... Every time the troops crossed the river, there was a sound of frogs! ”

"Frogs?" Araki Shaosa's brows furrowed even tighter, and he muttered, "Frog sound...... No, if Takeuchi-kun and the others were really attacked, it would be impossible for the frog sound to cover up the movement on the other side......"

"Shao Zuo,"

Araki was puzzled, and Captain Muta cautiously asked, "Do you want to find another route...... Circuitous? ”

"No!"

Araki Shaosa suddenly raised his head and stared at Captain Muta tightly, murderously, "I want to see what tricks are hidden in that frog's voice?" ”
