Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Sword Unsheathed (Part II)

For Second Lieutenant Hiroshi Tanaka of the 2nd Brigade of the 6th Wing of the 5th Infantry Brigade of the 3rd Division, this sweep was as easy as going out to enjoy the mountains and rivers. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Since the Battle of Xuzhou defeated the Chinese army, there has been no large-scale hostilities near Canglang Mountain for a long time. The sporadic resistance of the guerrillas was quickly nippled in the bud by the nearby garrisons. The vast plains of North China are becoming the second rear base of the Imperial Army after Mengman, providing a large amount of strategic materials such as grain and coal for the front line.

The fly in the ointment is that the ignorant Shina people do not seem to understand the benefits brought to them by the co-prosperity of Greater East Asia, and they are still engaged in unfriendly confrontational behavior, and many of them have left their homeland where they have lived for generations and have fled without a trace. The vast tracts of fertile land that the Imperial Army had worked so hard to occupy were left uncultivated, and they were so deserted, which had a huge impact on the supply of military rations.

Half a month ago, the North China Dispatch Army issued an order that the garrisons in the occupied areas should quickly establish garrison areas and actively seek out Chinese peasants to cultivate the fields and ensure the supply of military rations. In exceptional circumstances, coercive measures or appropriate deterrence by force may be applied.

It was on this order that Hiroshi Tanaka came out with his squad to sweep. It's just that what makes him feel a little shameless is that those Chinese people seem to know that he is coming, and they all disappear without a trace. It's been a day since I came out, and I haven't found a single figure, which makes this arrogant Japanese second lieutenant feel shameless. After looking at the march map unwillingly, he decided to take people to Canglang Mountain for a turn. Chinese may have taken refuge in the mountains, and if you are lucky, you may have a few flower girls......

The only fly in the ointment was that before departure, there was an extra outsider in the team - a mysterious Shaozuo, who was personally sent by the captain of the group, saying that he was coming to inspect the situation. There's such a guy here, and he feels like he's in the way of doing anything. However, this Shaozo is also a strange person, and as soon as he sets off, he doesn't know where he has gone.

If Hiroshi Tanaka could have foreseen what would happen next, he would not have stepped into Canglang Mountain if he was killed. But alas, he didn't have the magical powers of an unpredictable prophet, and his decision directly led his team to step into hell step by step along the rugged mountain road......

The partners that Jiangshan chose for himself were the old and serious "stone" Zhang Wanbiao and the energetic "Firefox" Wang Tong. As soon as a few people set off, Jiangshan strictly ordered: no speech is allowed, and any communication must be in combat sign language!

The country took the lead, and the group advanced rapidly between the mountain roads. Now time is what the country needs the most, and it is also the most lacking. He must find a suitable ambush location before the Japanese army enters the hinterland of Canglang Mountain, and he must also kill the opponent's scouts unknowingly. The slightest carelessness will alarm the Japanese troops in the rear, and at that time, the ambush tactics he and Liang Jianbin discussed will come to naught, and the resulting chain reaction and serious consequences are what he does not want to see.

Suddenly, Jiang Shan, who was advancing rapidly, stretched out his hand to signal the two behind him to stop advancing, and then quickly gave a covert order. Several people turned over and hid behind a few rocks, Jiang Shan stretched out his right hand and pointed ahead. The Stone River Firefox peeked in the direction he was directing, and saw a Japanese soldier with a gun on his back and two signal flags on his waist, swaggering in his direction.

The Japanese soldier obviously didn't notice Jiang Shan and the others, and in his opinion, his task was nothing more than to send a safety signal to the rear every once in a while, routinely. She always felt that her squad leader was too cautious, like a frightened squirrel. In this wilderness, let alone people, even rats will not come. Your own behavior is a bit ridiculous, what to search for? Could it be the crawlers searching underground?

Jiang Shan made a throat-cutting gesture to the stone and the fire fox, and then pointed to himself, meaning that the two people were on guard and went to clean up the Japanese soldier by themselves. The two men looked at each other and made a "received" gesture at the same time.

Take a deep breath and pull out the bayonet from your waist. Under the gaze of the stone and the fire fox, and then under the cover of the mountain stone, he approached the target little by little, and when he approached the distance of fifty meters, he stopped advancing. There are no obstacles in front of you to hide your body, and if you get close to the other person, you will be blind and can hear your footsteps.

Jiang Shan leaned on a huge rock, hid his figure, and then tried to calm down his breathing rhythm, otherwise the sound of heavy breathing would still reveal his whereabouts, and he could only wait for the rabbit now, waiting for the prey to be sent to the door by itself.

The Japanese scouts obviously did not expect that in the silent valley, there was a hunter waiting for an opportunity to hunt, waiting for his prey to throw himself into the net. He still walked swaggeringly, not forgetting to take in the surrounding scenery along the way.

The moment this undutiful scout walked past the mountain rock where he was hiding, Jiang Shan was like a cobra attacking, and quickly attacked. He leaned out suddenly, one hand tightly covered the mouth of his prey to prevent the other party from making a sound, and the bayonet in the other hand had already stabbed into the opponent's body.

Jiang Shan's knife is very distinctive, it is not inserted straight in, but from the bottom up, piercing the opponent's body from the ribs. This effectively prevents the tip of the knife from getting stuck in the middle of the ribs, so that in the smoothest way, pierces the enemy's lungs.

There is also a reason why the lungs were chosen to destroy instead of the heart. After the heart ruptures, the person has at least twelve seconds to die, and during this time, the target can send a warning signal; After the rupture of the lungs, a large amount of air quickly enters the lung cavity, causing hemopneumothorax and compressing the major arteries and trachea of the lungs.

After half a minute, Jiang Shan carefully put down the Japanese scout in his hand, and he was now a corpse that was gradually cold. He beckoned to where the stone and the fox were hiding, and motioned for the two of them to quickly move closer to him.

After the two people came, the first thing that came into sight was the hideous-looking corpse of the Japanese scout on the ground. Because of the suffocation and lack of oxygen, the corpse's face was blue-purple, its tongue drooped outside, and its eyes were wide open, but there was no life in it, and it was replaced by a blue-gray color brought by death.

The massive bleeding caused by the ruptured lungs filled the air with a strong smell of blood, and the incontinence caused by the loss of muscle control before the Japanese soldier died made both Stone and Firefox change their faces. The stone is a little better, he can still pretend to be calm, but the young fire fox is unbearable, when has he ever observed a corpse so closely? His stomach churned, and he turned around and was about to retch twice, when he met Jiang Shan's cold gaze.

"Bear with it! Don't throw up! Jiang Shan stared at him and ordered in a low voice. The tone is cold, without a hint of warmth.
