On the road, more than 200 Japanese soldiers were marching slowly in a neat line in the direction of Baoxing Town. [No pop-up novel network]

Although Koji Tachibana only brought an infantry squadron to Baoxing Town, it was a reinforced squadron with three infantry squads and a mortar squad.

Purely in terms of the combat effectiveness of the Chinese and Japanese armies, such a reinforced squadron is enough to carry a full battalion without falling behind, even in the face of a full regiment, there is still the strength to fight, at least a few hours is no problem, which is also the confidence of Tachibana Koji to dare to bring only one squadron to Bao Xing.

Tachibana Koji trusted his own judgment very much, and firmly believed that the remnants of the provisional 79th Division had collapsed.

But when Tachibana Koji saw the dense bamboo forest that appeared in front of him, he still couldn't help but have a hint of alarm in his heart, and at that moment Tachibana Koji snorted softly and drank the tall horse under his crotch.

Captain Kono, who was walking behind Koji Tachibana, followed suit and restrained his mount.

As soon as Captain Kono stopped, the Japanese army queue that was moving forward also stopped.

Dividing line

Pack on the hill.

Seeing the sudden halt of the Japanese troops, the veteran immediately became nervous.

The veteran said: "Why didn't the devil suddenly move forward, could it be that he found some flaws?"

Xu Rui said: "Don't be nervous, the little devil is just a little suspicious, it is so dangerous to ask for a bamboo forest, if the devil is not suspicious, it will be strange, but you can rest assured, they can't find anything." ”

The veteran hummed softly and said no more.

Dividing line

Captain Kono came to Koji Tachibana and asked, "Captain, are you worried that there will be an ambush in the bamboo forest ahead?"

Tachibana Koji didn't say anything, just squinted his eyes and looked at the bamboo forest, only to see that this bamboo forest is very dense, the time has entered the winter, the forest is full of thick dead bamboo leaves, so thick dead leaves, it is easy to hide a few people, and this large bamboo forest is enough to hide thousands of people.

Captain Kono said again: "Wing Commander, the spearhead group has already reconnoitred by fire just now, and no abnormalities have been found. ”

Seeing that Koji Tachibana still didn't speak, Captain Kono said again: "Why don't you send a team into the bamboo forest to search?"

Koji Tachibana still didn't speak, just raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and after about five minutes, a smile suddenly bloomed on the corner of Koji Tachibana's mouth and said, "Open the way"

Captain Kono was stunned and said, "Captain, don't search"

"No need." Koji Tachibana said, "There will be no ambush in the bamboo forest. ”

Captain Kono was surprised: "The co-captain was worried just now, why is it so sure that there will be no ambush now?"

"The reason is very simple." Koji Tachibana smiled slightly, and continued, "If there is really an ambush in the bamboo forest ahead, if you were the commander of this ambush army, and see that the imperial army suddenly stopped and stopped moving forward, what judgment would you make and what kind of reaction would you make?"

Captain Kono thought for a moment and said, "If I were the commander of the ambush, I would wonder if the Imperial Army had discovered some flaws, and then I would order to act in advance." Speaking of this, Captain Kono had already sorted out Tachibana Koji's thoughts, and said convincingly, "The co-captain is wise and respectful." ”

Tachibana Koji said: "It's nothing, it's just a summary of my years of experience, and when you fight more battles, you will naturally sum up your own combat experience." ”

"I don't dare to compare my humble position with the wing captain, the wing captain is a high-achieving student who graduated from Lu University, and he is also a member of the saber group, but he has only attended the army non-commissioned officer school, and his grades are only average." Captain Kono complimented Kobana Koji as he made a move and motioned for his troops to continue their advance.

The Japanese platoon standing on the road continued to move forward.

Five minutes later, the Japanese army gradually penetrated deep into the bamboo forest.

Koji Tachibana chatted with Captain Kono on a beat, but he was still vigilantly scanning the surroundings, which was also a good habit he had developed over the years in the army, and he never let his guard down.

This good habit soon brought luck to Koji Tachibana.

At a certain moment, out of the corner of Tachibana's eye, he suddenly noticed a faint red light flashing in front of him.

With years of experience, Koji Tachibana immediately realized that it was the muzzle flame when the rifle fired.

Suddenly, Koji Tachibana reacted instinctively, he jerked his head to the right, and then felt a burning pain in his right cheek.

Koji Tachibana immediately realizes that he has been shot, but fortunately he did not hit the vital point

"Enemy attack, hide quickly" Tachibana Koji turned sideways, flipped off the horse's back, and then turned back to remind Captain Kono to also dismount and hide, but it was too late, Captain Kono had already been shot, a bullet directly entered his eyebrow, penetrated the entire cranial cavity and then pierced through the back of his head.

Although the wound was not large, Tachibana Koji knew very well that Captain Kono's brain tissue had been stirred into a mess, and the person was too dead to die.

Then, Captain Kono fell from his horse.

Until this time, Tachibana Koji didn't think about the worst, and said that he encountered a Chinese rout with good marksmanship, and he just hid from a distance to shoot a cold gun, I have to say that Tachibana Koji, a little devil, was really too confident in his judgment, but, what happened next made Tachibana Koji can't believe his eyes.

As soon as the guns rang out, the bamboo groves on both sides of the highway immediately resounded with tidal shouts.

Immediately afterwards, the thick fallen leaves piled up on the ground in the bamboo forest turned up one after another, and then one by one the Chinese soldiers emerged from the ground, carrying a German submachine gun and launched a charge, Tachibana Koji roughly counted the Chinese soldiers killed from the bamboo forest at least 200, or even 300

Tachibana Koji instantly realized that this was the remnant of the provisional 79th Division.

"Yaga" Tachibana Koji said angrily, "This is impossible, impossible"

It's no wonder that Tachibana Koji was angry, because this was completely beyond his expectations, he never thought that the squadron ambushed the prince's special train, and after killing His Royal Highness, instead of leaving, he dared to set up an ambush on the spot and ambush the imperial army that came to collect the body of His Royal Highness

It's crazy, it's crazy

Bold, simply bold

Isn't the squadron afraid, waiting for a whole brigade or even a whole wing

It's a pity that it's too late to say anything, and Koji Tachibana only brought one squadron

Although Koji Tachibana is the captain of the wing, he is not the direct commander of the Kono squadron, and the death of Captain Kono caused a brief chaos to the command of the Kono squadron, but it was this chaos of less than a minute, or even less than a minute, that brought destruction to the Kono squadron

The remnants of the provisional 79th Division charged from a distance of about 200 meters, and before the Japanese could make an effective response, the squadron had already approached within 150 meters.

One hundred and fifty meters, already in the effective range of the submachine gun

More than 200 submachine guns opened fire at the same time, and the first wave of fire knocked down nearly half of the Japanese troops.

The rest of the Japanese troops reacted at this time, or scattered in a hurry to find cover, or squatted on the spot to shoot, or simply launched a counter-charge regardless of it, but in the face of the ferocious and perverted firepower of the provisional 79th Division, it was all in vain, in less than two minutes, most of the Kono squadron was killed or wounded, while the casualties of the squadron were almost negligible.

There were only less than half a class of devils left, and they retreated together and curled up in a ball, protecting Koji Tachibana in the middle.

Tachibana Koji knew that this time he would never be spared, but even so, this little devil still did not give up, he wanted to find out one thing before he died in battle, after Lin Feng died in battle, who was in command of this remnant of the provisional 79th Division, if possible, he was very happy to pull this person to bury him.

Koji Tachibana clenched his saber and shouted at the Chinese soldiers surrounded by submachine guns around him: "I am Koji Tachibana, the Wing Commander of the 6th Infantry Wing of the Imperial Japanese Army, and I ask to speak to your commander."

The veteran rushed to the front with a bayonet on the three-eight big cover, one by one stabbing down a devil, and then raised his gun to aim at Tachibana Koji to pull the trigger.

The failure to kill Koji Tachibana with one shot just now made the veteran very faceless.

However, before he could shoot, a big hand reached out from the oblique stab, and pressed his right hand on the trigger, and the veteran looked back sharply, but it was Xu Rui.

Xu Rui said coldly: "Don't worry, let me ask him a few words." ”

After speaking, Xu Rui held the 38-style military thorn and pushed out the remnants of the soldiers in front of him and walked out.

Tachibana Koji's cold gaze immediately fell on Xu Rui, the moment he saw Xu Rui, Tachibana Koji knew that he was deceived by Lin Feng, and it was not Lin Feng who commanded the remnants of the provisional 79th Division to break through from Wuxi and attack the headquarters of the 6th Wing and the artillery position, but this guy in front of him, for no reason, but Tachibana Koji firmly believed in his judgment.

"It's you," Koji Tachibana said in a deep voice.

"That's right, it's me," Xu Rui replied coldly.

No one could understand the conversation between the two, only the two parties.

"I must admit that you are a real master tactician, and the best of all the lieutenants I have ever met." Koji Tachibana slowly drew his saber and said, "You are even better than most officers in the Imperial Japanese Army, and if I am not mistaken, you must have studied in a Japanese or Western military academy." ”

"You're the most crappy commander I've ever seen." Xu Rui just stood there casually, not at all like Tachibana Koji who looked like he was facing a great enemy, and said lightly, "The same low-level mistake, you made it once, twice, and you will actually make it three or four more times, I really can't imagine who else could be more stupid than you."

Koji Tachibana was not provoked, and said coldly: "If you think that I will be provoked, then you are wrong, our Shinto thoughtless stream is the most important thing, is to calm the mind"

"You're overestimating yourself." Xu Rui said lightly, "To deal with a product like you, there is no need to be agitated." ”

"Good." Koji Tachibana said, "Then let's have a one-on-one duel in the way of a samurai." ”
