Chapter 363: A plan within a plan
There were so many officers and soldiers present, because the surrounding area had been searched, and there were not a few people who gathered together, why was he the one who was killed? For Imamura Shintaro, even if this shell falls on his head, it is better than sending the chief of staff of the First Army to heaven.
The previous accounts have not been settled, and now the chief of staff of the major general of the First Army was killed by another * under his nose, which is undoubtedly worse for his current situation. Shintaro Imamura didn't even know how he was going to explain himself to the First Army and the base camp.
This is not a second lieutenant, nor is it a sergeant. Rather, he was a major general officer, and he was also the chief of staff of the First Army of the Imperial Japanese Army. Now that he was killed in a bomb right under his nose, Imamura Shintaro knew that his future in the Japanese Army was completely gone.
The vigilant troops sent by themselves, in the mountainous areas that had just been searched, came out again. Not only did he have the audacity to sneak back to the scene of the ambush, but he also killed the chief of staff of the army with one shot. Shintaro Imamura is sure that this Tsuchihachi Road has not gone far at all. Always keeping an eye on their movements, as soon as they finished their search, they secretly lurked back to the scene of the sneak attack.
It's just that instead of a hasty attack, they are always looking for the best opportunity to get their hands dirty. It's just that Imamura Shintaro is a little confused, and since this dirt hachiro has taken a great risk, he has sneaked back under his nose. So why don't you take this opportunity to start when you talk to Major General Hanaya Masa, wouldn't it be even more fruitful to take advantage of this opportunity.
From the extremely accurate landing point of this gun, the first hit was made without a test shot, and it was obvious that these dirt eight roads were staring at themselves, and it was definitely not a meeting and a half. It's just that the current Imamura Shintaro also knows that what he should do now is not why Hachiro chose the timing of Major General Hanaya Masashi to get on the bus, not the better time when the two of them talked before.
The most important thing he should do now is to catch this bold earth eight roads and kill them all in order to give an explanation to the base camp. In fact, there is no need for Shintaro Imamura to give orders, with the usual speed and ability of the Japanese army. Coupled with the fact that it is also a high-level command on alert, the vigilance of the Japanese army is naturally very high.
Although the area that has been searched has been searched, because the consistent method of the Eighth Route is to disappear in the Taihang Mountains in the shortest possible time after the sneak attack is completed, it will definitely not wait for the return without waiting for the distance, and the guard post will not be re-dispatched. But it doesn't mean that these Japanese troops are really slow to react.
It hadn't been more than three minutes since the explosion* exploded, and the guards had already outflanked the place where the artillery was fired. Although only one shell came from the other side of the mountain, based on the quality of the Japanese officers at the scene, they were able to accurately determine the approximate location of the fire. And immediately spread out the formation and outflanked it.
The reaction speed of the Yamashita Japanese puppet army is not fast, and Imamura Shintaro's judgment is indeed quite accurate. It was indeed Li Ziyuan's department that attacked them again, but not Li Ziyuan's main forces were here. It was a reconnaissance company led by Liu Lianming, who was left by Li Ziyuan and dispersed the Japanese puppet army in the Ludong area.
After Liu Lianming took his reconnaissance company around and secretly returned to this hilly area, the telescope never left the Japanese troops at the scene of the attack at the foot of the mountain. And an artillery squad leader with him has also been holding a telescope to observe the movements of the Japanese army under the mountain.
Because of the distance and the sky, as well as the magnification of the telescope in their hands, in fact, the two of them did not see clearly that among the Japanese officers under the mountain, there was also a major general and a big Zuo. Liu Lianming, who knew that with the distance between himself and the Japanese army and the reaction ability of the Japanese army, he actually only had a chance to shoot a shot, and he was very cautious about choosing the time to fire after returning.
He did not stare at the Japanese troops under the mountain in vain, but focused his eyes on the cars at the scene. He didn't know what kind of character came down the mountain, but he knew that the Japanese officer who could be qualified to ride in the car was at least an adjutant officer.
So he told the artillery squad leader next to him to keep an eye on the cars, and as soon as someone got into the car, he would open fire. Don't test shoot, make sure you hit the starter. And after a shot, don't care what the result is, immediately retreat. As a result, Hanaya Masa, who was very angry by Shintaro Imamura, won the jackpot directly when he was the first to leave the scene and prepare to get on the bus.
Of course, after this shot, I didn't know that I had fired such a shell, and I actually killed Liu Lianming, the chief of staff of the Japanese First Army in Shanxi. But he was very satisfied with putting down the telescope in his hand, patting Li Ziyuan from He Huizhang's artillery company next to him, and after the two artillery with the best skills transferred to him. Carrying this Type 99 mortar, he cautiously evacuated.
And on this hill and the route of his evacuation, he had already laid several minefields as soon as he came. Although most of them are Li Ziyuan's military divisions, they are to come back from the earthen system*. But there are also a lot of tripping thunder in the middle.
Liu Lianming knew that he was under the noses of the Japanese army, and making such a play would definitely make the Japanese army bite to death. So before he went up the mountain to get a handful, he was already extremely experienced and an expert-level subordinate, and he had carefully completed the arrangement of the three minefields.
Because he himself was not prepared at all, and here he fought a battle with at least two squadrons of Japanese troops under the mountain. When the detachment commander was leaving, he repeatedly warned that when there were fighters and suitable fighters, they must pay attention to fighting quickly and collecting quickly. You can catch the benefits when you see them, but you must not be greedy, and you can leave quickly if you want to catch a handful.
Not only Li Ziyuan's words, Liu Lianming has always remembered them firmly. Moreover, the Japanese puppet army under the mountain is far more numerous than him, and Liu Lianming does not intend to fight hard with the devil. So although only one shell was fired, Liu Lianming did not fall in love here.
After the shell was fired, he immediately closed his stall and evacuated. He planted several scarecrows as false targets in the place where the cannon was fired, and lit a hanging of firecrackers. Liu Lianming took his reconnaissance company, except for the two veterans who were left to hang the strings on the *, the rest of the people quickly evacuated in the southeast direction.
Liu Lianming withdrew quickly, but the Japanese troops under the mountain were definitely not slow to react. As soon as Liu Lianming got off the mountain, the Japanese troops over there had already opened up the battle formation and rushed over. As soon as Liu Lianming withdrew on his front foot, the Japanese search force over there had already rushed up the mountain. The Japanese puppet army, who was eager to catch this dirt road, only paid attention to the similar gunfire sound from the firecracker hanging on their heads, but ignored the underside of their feet.
As a result, the Japanese army in charge of the search did not find Liu Lianming, and plunged into the minefield left by Liu Lianming. Liu Lianming's minefield was arranged in an inverted triangle according to Li Ziyuan's requirements. As a result, the Japanese soldiers who rushed ahead avoided the minefield below. However, the Japanese brigade, which opened up the battle formation in the back, plunged headlong into the minefield.
The main force of the Japanese squadron, which had seen that the sharp soldiers in front had not been blocked in any way, and the main force of the Japanese squadron, which had been relieved to boldly charge behind, was bombed in bursts of explosions and suffered heavy losses. Liu Lianming's thunder is not only under his feet, he uses the waist-deep bushes on the front of this mountain bag, and also hangs a lot*.
The threat of soil* under your feet may not be great, but the lethality of these waist-deep bushes* is definitely not small. There was also a Japanese soldier who stepped on a seesaw or something like that while dodging, he accidentally stepped on a seesaw or something.
With a scream from him, a bouncing * exploded in the air. The shrapnel scattered everywhere, almost without any dead ends, blew up the brothers behind him and himself. Of course, even if one* explodes in the air, it is impossible to kill too many people at once. The shrapnel that could fly everywhere added a lot of wounded to the Japanese troops who were attacking head-on.
The Japanese troops who attacked head-on suffered heavy losses from being bombed in the * formation on the mountain. The other two Japanese troops who tried to outflank them also stepped on the minefield as they entered the mountain. It's just that they need to be roundabout, and they are not as fast as their colleagues who attack head-on. So what happened to their colleagues was a wake-up call.
Although they also stepped into a minefield, they suffered much better losses, at least not as much as their colleagues who attacked head-on. It's just that the speed of their advance is much slower, which gives Liu Lianming enough time to evacuate. Moreover, although they have been extremely careful in mine clearance, because the opponent's methods are too strange when burying mines, many people still win the bid.
It's just that Liu Lianming's * is laid out, most of which are made by the base area itself, and the *is mainly made of earth with * as the charge, and its lethality is not strong. There were a few Japanese soldiers who stepped on *, and even after the explosion, in addition to being blown up in pitch black, as if they were the Lord of the Stove, but they were not injured except for fright.
Among the Japanese puppet troops who participated in the search, except for more than a dozen people who were killed by the booby trap that was changed from *, the rest were injured or frightened enough, so there were not many seriously injured. Several Japanese puppet troops who were blown off their hands and feet were basically * modified.
With the addition of the earthen system in Liu Lianming's hands*, the number is really not much. Under the circumstance that it was necessary to lay three minefields at the same time, it did not cause too many casualties to the Japanese puppet troops participating in the search. But the problem is that these clay creations* greatly delayed the search and pursuit of the Japanese puppet army. So that under the nose of the Japanese army, Liu Lianming, who had another guy, could evacuate safely.
However, most of the *on the mountain* are very powerful clay products*. But the two thunderbolts buried under the straw men who were false targets were real practical fertilizer powder and a small amount of the system*, mixed with a lot of foreign nails, and put on two jars to modify the big lethal guys.
When I went up the mountain, I was dizzy by *, and I was killed and injured many people. In particular, the Japanese troops who attacked head-on, the straggler line was stretched dozens of meters, and they suffered heavy losses from bombing. It turned out that there were only a few straw men on the mountain, and a pile of firecracker crumbs in a foreign leather iron bucket, and there was not even a single figure on the mountain.
The Japanese army, which suffered heavy losses but ended up empty-handed, was made into smoke. When he angrily pulled out these straw men, the two large pulling thunders connected to the bottom of the straw men were directly pulled. You must know that this explosion is not the kind of earth-made * that uses * as a charge, and even the power of the explosion is not enough to injure people*, but a real powerful guy.
The two big guys, each containing nearly ten kilograms of charge and a lot of foreign nails, exploded, producing a huge force that directly knocked down more than half of the Japanese soldiers who rushed up the mountain. The shock wave generated by the explosion shook even some of the Japanese troops who were demining on the mountainside.
