Chapter 857: Unexpected Situation

The army marched and came to the ambush site that had been reconnoitred in advance, and under the order of Yang Yun, the commander of the regiment, the officers and men of the new regiment climbed to the mountain guns on both sides of the road.

Soon, machine-gun and artillery positions were all set up.

What followed was a long wait.

"Your Excellency, Captain, I suggest that we send a squad of strikers to clear the way."

"Nani?"

On top of the military tricycle, the commander of the 59th Wing of the Japanese Army, Itanishi Kazura, turned his head sideways and looked at Nojiri Shoji on a military tricycle next to him in surprise. "Yours, haven't you already reconnoitred the enemy? Also, didn't the Imperial soldiers who stayed at the front just send back the news that everything was normal? Do you say you don't believe in yourself so much? Indecisive, how to be a competent battlefield commander? ”

In the end, there was obviously a hint of displeasure on Itanishi Kazuliang's face.

"But...... There is an old Chinese saying that it is called to sail carefully for a thousand years. ”

"Humph! An old Chinese saying? China is about to become a colony of our Japanese Empire, do you still have to believe what the loser says? ”

Wing Commander Itanishi Kazura no longer paid attention to Nojiri Shoji, "Speed up the march!" ”

……

Two hours later.

"Report to the group! I found the traces of the little devils, and we were still about ten miles away. ”

"Keep scouting!"

"Yes!"

"All units are ready for battle!"

Without waiting for the signal soldier to go far, Yang Yun gave the order to prepare for battle.

With one enemy and three enemies, he is still facing the most elite field troops of the little devils, and if he is replaced by other troops, he almost doesn't want to think about it, so he just turns around and runs away.

However, with the exception of the new regiment, not to mention one against three, even with one against five, they are not unexperienced, and they have achieved the final victory.

Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and the vanguard of the little devils finally appeared in the sight of the officers and soldiers of the new regiment.

More than 2,500 little devils formed in a neat formation, either on foot, in a car, or on horseback, stretching for miles on the winding and rugged mountain road, which seemed to have no end in sight.

"It's coming!"

"Watch for secrecy!"

The little devil's sense of smell is very sensitive, and they can't detect the slightest mistake, once the little devil is alert, then their previous efforts will be wasted.

Due to the topography and thorny vegetation, the little devils did not find a new regiment of officers and soldiers hidden on the hillsides on both sides of the road.

Of course, it's also because they're too confident.

If it weren't for Shoji Nojiri who led the reconnaissance yesterday and the five scouts left behind to deliver the news in real time, they would definitely have increased their vigilance to a greater or lesser extent.

Helplessly, all these reasons combined prompted them to step by step into the ambush circle of the new group, and they didn't know it.

In order to prevent the little devils from discovering that something was wrong, the new regiment did not plant mines or bombs in the middle of the road.

"Why did you stop?"

The Japanese wing commander Itanishi Kazura looked ahead in some surprise and asked.

"Let's take a look!"

Hirota Yamamoto reported and then rolled over and got off the military three-wheeled motorcycle, and walked forward quickly with his legs open.

After a while, Hirota Yamamoto came back again.

"Ahead, what kind of work?"

"Report to Your Excellency, Wing Commander, there is a canyon not far ahead, and the adjutant is worried about being ambushed by the enemy, so he ordered to stop the advance, and he himself led a small group of imperial officers and soldiers to explore the way forward."

"Nani?"

Itanishi Kazura frowned slightly, and said: "Nojiri-kun hasn't reconnoitred, there is no enemy position here at all; And the situation on Wufeng Mountain is normal, otherwise there should have been news a long time ago. ”

Although Itanishi Kazura is a little dissatisfied with Nojiri Shoji's indecision, he still believes in his ability.

"Hay!"

Yamamoto Hirota nodded and continued: "I also think that the adjutant is too worried, a canyon a few kilometers long, not to mention that there is no enemy ambush, even if there is, there is no need to be afraid at all!" ”

"Keep going!"

"Hay!"

With the order of Wing Commander Itanishi Kazura, the 59th Wing of the Japanese Army continued to advance.

With two thin-skinned armored vehicles in the vanguard, the road was opened in front.

Behind is a neat queue of little devil infantry, in the middle is a cavalry and dozens of military three-wheeled motorcycles, then there are hundreds of neatly lined up little devil infantry, and finally there are more than 30 military trucks loaded with little devil officers and soldiers and logistics supplies.

The last two of the military trucks also had two heavy field howitzers towed behind their butts.

"What's going on?"

As soon as the little devil adjutant led the team to the entrance of the canyon, he found that the large army that was supposed to be on standby had already been withdrawn, and he couldn't help but feel puzzled.

The picture pulls back to a new position.

"Huh? Why did these little devils suddenly stop advancing, did they already find out that we couldn't do it? ”

Seeing that the army of little devils suddenly stopped advancing, Yang Yun couldn't help frowning.

"Tuanza, what do we do now?"

The little devil's footsteps paused, not only shocked Yang Yun's heart, but the rest of the new group of brothers were all alert at once.

"Look and see, without my orders, don't act rashly!"

"Yes!"

The order was delivered, and the new regiment fell into calm again, but the hands of the officers and men holding their guns were obviously a little harder than before.

When he saw a little devil officer leading a squad of devil officers and soldiers to leave the team and walk forward, Yang Yun suddenly knew what was going on.

At the same time, I was also shocked in my heart, if this team of little devils came to reconnoiter the situation, it would be good not to go up the mountain, but once they went up the mountain, they would inevitably be exposed.

But now, he couldn't do anything but wait quietly.

Because the army of little devils did not enter the ambush circle, if they fired now, they might be able to inflict some damage on the little devils, but such damage would definitely not be enough for them to achieve the final victory.

Once the target is exposed, it can be successfully retreated with the help of terrain. However, after letting the little devils understand their strength and become vigilant, they will inevitably lose to the little devils in the next battle.

Waiting is a slow death, and failure is also a failure.

What to do? Yang Yun's forehead also began to sweat gradually, not only him, but most of the other officers of the new regiment.

Tension spread all at once over the positions of the new regiment.

"Whew-"

Finally, just as Yang Yun was about to order a retreat, a light suddenly flashed in his eyes.

Because in his field of vision, he saw that the army of little devils had opened again, and although he didn't know what was going on, he couldn't help but take a bite.

Little devil, this is death!

As soon as he thought of this, the corners of Yang Yun's mouth couldn't help but appear with a sly smile of joy.
