Regarding the difficulty of the Jindong detachment, the Japanese army was obviously vigilant enough.

This can be seen from their march.

Although whether it is attacking Cangshui from the Tiger Killing Pass, or entering the territory of the Dongjiang River from Yuanguang, the troops are divided from the beginning, but they are not too far apart from each other, and they are always at a distance where one side is attacked and the other side can rush over to support at any time.

At the same time, it is always a small group of Japanese troops who lead a large number of puppet troops, holding mine detectors to detect in front, and large troops follow not far behind......

In doing so, it not only ensures that in the event of an ambush or the like, only the forward team will fall into the trap, while the large army will always be in an invincible position where it can support the forward force and retreat at any time or hold on to the spot.

These arrangements are diametrically opposed to the remarks of many Japanese soldiers or low-level officers clamoring to enter the Jindong base area, the grain, chickens, ducks, fish and meat in the rich Jindong base area, and those beautiful flower girls who have them at their fingertips......

Hearing the little devil's march report, Zhang Ran smiled, and said in his heart that this little devil's strategy is somewhat a bit of the meaning of the Eighth Route Military Technology and Tactics - strategically despising the detachment, but in terms of tactics, he attaches great importance to it, and he doesn't want to give the detachment any opportunity at all!

It's just that this is an opportunity, but it's not something that the little devil can't give if he doesn't want to give it!

Because even though he knew that in this battle, the detachment was strong and weak, and the enemy was outnumbered, but the detachment was never prepared to be beaten passively because of this!

They are also ready to take the initiative!

Because of the ubiquitous mines of the Jindong detachment, after entering the area of Dongjiang County, the little devil forward troops used mine detectors to detect mines, and the follow-up troops followed not far away......

In this case, the pace of advance of the troops, slowed down to the extreme.

This made many Japanese soldiers feel anxious, but the officers of the Japanese army were extremely indifferent.

Because they know that such a careful advance, although the progress is slow, can compress the living space of the Jindong detachment under the condition of ensuring maximum safety, not giving them the opportunity to fight and run as before, and forcing their main force to come out and fight to the death with the imperial army......

After more than an hour, the forward line of the Japanese army finally advanced to a distance of two kilometers in Dongjiang County.

From beginning to end, there were no rumored endless sneak attacks by the Jindong detachment, and there were no ubiquitous mine tripmines.

"It seems that our steady progress tactics have worked!"

Seeing this scene, Eguchi Shaoza smiled proudly, because although the speed of this advance was not fast, it was much smoother than he expected!

It's just that the captain of the Peninsula detachment, Nakasa Sakai, is far from being so optimistic - he has suffered a big loss at the hands of the Jindong detachment, and obviously he will not think that the Jindong detachment is just two kilometers safe!

"Sakai Nakasa, I think you're the same as Major General Yoshikawa, Major General Akira, and you have a bit of a high opinion of the Jindong detachment!"

Eguchi said with a smile: "I admit that our imperial army suffered a lot of losses in the hands of the Jindong detachment before, but the reason why our army suffered losses is not because our army is not good, but because the Jindong detachment is like a monkey, jumping up and down, which is indeed difficult to deal with, but it is by no means impossible to deal with!"

Sakai Nakasa, do you know how to clean up these wild monkeys that jump up and down? ”

Sakai shook his head, and Eguchi obviously didn't listen to his answer, but continued to talk to himself: "In my hometown on this island, there are those wild monkeys in the mountains near my house, and these hateful wild monkeys not only toss around in the mountains, but also toss in the fields when the crops are ripe......

At first, the villagers couldn't do anything about these wild monkeys, after all, these wild monkeys not only ran fast, but also climbed trees......

Until one day, the villagers gathered and cut down all the trees around the crop field and put a fence around the crop field - when the wild monkeys came to destroy the crops, it would be much easier to deal with! ”

Eguchi laughed and said, "The current situation is that the Jindong detachment is like a wild monkey that has been fenced and cut down trees, and there is no place for it to jump up and down if it wants to...... Aside from fighting to the death with our army after being cornered by us, do you think they have any other choice? ”

Sakai was just about to answer, when a shrill whistle suddenly sounded on the forward line!

Sakai didn't care about answering anymore, and hurriedly raised the telescope to look forward, and at the same time raised the telescope to look forward, and Eguchi!

The moment he saw the situation more than a kilometer away from the telescope, the smug look on Eguchi's face immediately disappeared, and he gritted his teeth and scolded: "Bage Yalu, damn Jindong detachment, it's simply a deception to the Imperial Japanese ......Army."

Sakai didn't laugh at Eguchi, who was still laughing at the Jindong detachment a second ago, like the wild monkey with no way out, and now he has been angry like thunder by the Jindong detachment......

Because he was also trembling with anger from everything he saw in the telescope, he felt that the Jindong detachment was definitely too deceitful!

Looking through the binoculars, in front of the forward line in front of each team, there were many people of the Jindong detachment, who were so blatantly outside the shooting line of the forward line, some carrying small baskets, and some wielding special small hoes......

As for what you're doing......

What else can they do but plant mines and trip mines?

The mines of the Jindong detachment are terrible, and Sakai knows that the Jindong detachment planted mines and tripping mines, which is also normal......

But it is a bit too much to stare at the marching route of the team and blatantly lay mines in front of the marching route of the troops......

It's like, it's like those guys from the Jindong detachment clearly telling the team of the imperial army, look, I'm just going to plant mines here to bomb you and you, you have no way to take Lao Tzu......

"Eight Geya Road, damn the eight roads of the pig and soil, you deceive people too much......"

The angry Eguchi screamed, gritted his teeth and ordered: "Pass my order, the forward team, rush up and kill them......"

"Eguchi, don't be impulsive!"

Sakai hurriedly reminded: "Don't you see that these people are doing this just to lead our team over to pursue?" ”

"But if they don't pursue, will they be allowed to lay mines in the path of our army, humiliate our army, and at the same time delay our army's route?" Eguchi gritted his teeth.

"Although the actions of this group of dirt and eight roads are indeed hateful and despicable, we should still act according to the plan and not rush forward!"

Sakai insisted, and at the same time persuaded: "Moreover, the act of planting mines in front of us is arrogant, but it is also stupid - the mines that have just been planted always have some traces, and when our army clears mines, isn't it much simpler?" ”

Hearing this, Eguchi's angry mood finally improved a lot, and said: "Thank you Sakai Nakasa for reminding me, I was reckless - these damn dirt roads, let's see how many mines they can bury...... Pass my order, the forward team will not only rush forward, but follow the original plan, steadily advance, and make sure that there are no anomalies, and then go and get those damn mines out for me......"
