Chapter 309: Trap

Seeing Nishikanjiro's appearance, the Japanese army soldiers realized that something was wrong, and they all got up one after another and looked up at the trees. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The Japanese soldiers did not notice the corpses hanging upside down from the trees, because they were initially obscured by the shadows of the branches of the trees, but now when they came to the right angle, the horrific sight was unobstructed!

Seeing this picture, Nishikanjiro's body trembled with anger.

"Quick! Put them down! Nishikanjiro shouted.

Several Satsuma samurai climbed up the tree, drew their katanas, and slashed at the branches where the corpses were hanging, and the corpses began to fall from the trees one after another, making the scene even more terrifying.

A corpse fell heavily in front of Nishikanjiro.

Nishikanjiro stared blankly at the headless corpse, and then he remembered why there was no shadow of Second Lieutenant Fukuhara Toyoko and others.

They all turned out to be here!

Nishikanjiro looked into the distance and saw several headless corpses in the shadow of several large trees. They must have been hoisted not far from the road, perhaps from the branch of a tree in the distance.

It cannot be said that Geshe Kanjiro was greatly saddened by their deaths. In those war-torn years, people would have become accustomed to death. But what matters now is the manner in which these people died.

Obviously, it was not the Chinese army that killed these Japanese. These Japanese can swear by curses, bets, fevers, typhoid fevers, and all kinds of rare terminal diseases, and even unsightly diseases, but they should never die in such a disgraceful way! The one who kills people by decapitation is the local headhunter custom!

It seems that in this wood, in addition to Fukuhara Toyoko, who he barely knew him, and these beheaded Japanese soldiers will find their own home, and the fate of these people will be decided, because they will continue to complete the tasks that the dead have not had time to complete.

Nishikanjiro glanced again into the dark woods. The big trees seemed to bend lower, showing a pair of teeth and claws. Nishikanjiro instinctively took the rifle to his side and opened the safe.

He had planned to ask his subordinates to bury the bodies, but now that he looks, I'm afraid it won't work.

A cool twilight breeze swept through the woods, causing a short rustle of solid leaves, and a few more fruits fell. In the distance, there is a small tree. A small green bird landed on its dry treetops. It looks around, and is not afraid of people at all. It squeaked for a while, then flapped its wings and flew.

All the Japanese felt uneasy, and after laying down all the hanging headless corpses, the Satsuma samurai jumped off the tree, put away their katanas, and raised their rifles.

The small bird brushed past Nishikanjiro's head, and its small wings made the air vibrate slightly, making Nishikuanjiro feel a little cold. It screamed a few more times before flying away towards a destination known only to itself.

Nishikanjiro made a "forward" gesture, and the Japanese soldiers spread out in a skirmish, raised their loaded rifles, and walked cautiously forward.

The Japanese march slowly through the dense forest. They stop and go, carefully observing whenever they encounter a complex terrain to make sure that there is no danger before moving on. Occasionally, in the silence of the forest, the faint sound of them plucking weeds or cutting branches of bushes can be heard. Suddenly, Nishikanjiro saw several Satsuma soldiers in front of the team stop and lay down. He knew that they must have discovered the situation, so he gestured to his subordinates who were following closely behind him, and bent down to observe carefully.

Suddenly, gunfire erupted, and bullets rained down. In an instant, several Japanese soldiers who walked in front were knocked down, and those behind immediately began to retreat.

When Nishikuanjiro heard the crisp sound of gunfire and the faint light smoke in the distance, he believed that the peasant soldiers who had fled back were not lying.

The other party is indeed using a real rifle!

Suddenly there was a gunshot on the left side of the forest, and Nishikanjiro turned his head to look and immediately saw more than a dozen Japanese soldiers being knocked to the ground like mowing grass!

A Japanese soldier was shot in the leg, screaming loudly, waving his arms and calling for help from his companions, a Japanese soldier was just about to rush to help the wounded, a line of blood suddenly erupted from his chest, his body stiffened for a moment, and then he fell backwards on his back.

Seeing his companion killed, the wounded Japanese soldier screamed in even greater horror, but his screams stopped abruptly.

Nishikanjiro clearly saw that a bullet flew in and burrowed into the soldier's gaping mouth!

Although the Japanese ranks were disorganized due to the sudden attack, the combat quality of the Japanese reconnaissance troops, which were mainly composed of the samurai of the Satsuma Domain, was obviously higher than that of the peasant soldiers, and many of them did not panic, but immediately began to return fire with rifles, and for a time gunfire broke out in the forest.

Nishikanjiro finally saw the enemy in front of him - it was a group of barefoot people dressed in white cloth, numbering about 100 people, each with a rifle in their hands, their formation scattered, one by one, hunched over, hiding behind rocks or trees to shoot at the Japanese, they ran to another place with each shot, constantly changing their hiding places.

Nishikanjiro raised his rifle and aimed it at a raw fire, but the bullet did not hit the opponent, but hit a tree not far from him, and the man was very clever and ran away quickly, and at about the same time, another Japanese soldier also opened fire on him, but still did not hit him.

The student jumped to the bottom of a grassy slope, hunched over, and stood there in a very casual posture, but the rifle in his hand was flat and straight.

"Bang!" The other side opened fire, and Nishikanjiro turned his head to look and saw a Japanese soldier fall in response.

Nishikanjiro was secretly frightened, he temporarily stopped shooting, hid behind a tree to observe the battle situation, he noticed that although the Japanese platoon gun fire was dense and terrifying, but it didn't seem that many bullets hit the enemy, after each platoon of guns, only a few raw guns were killed or wounded, and although the raw ones did not concentrate on fire, but the marksmanship was accurate, almost every time a raw gun fired, a Japanese soldier would fall!

The two sides kept shooting at each other, and more and more Japanese soldiers were killed and wounded, although the Japanese soldiers were shooting fiercely, trying to suppress the firepower of Shengfan, but Shengfan seemed to have no concept of the Japanese army's fire suppression, although they blocked the route of the Japanese army's advance, the purpose was to stop the Japanese army from advancing, but they seemed to cherish their bullets too much, and every time they shot, they wanted to kill and injure the Japanese.

The power of Ikuban's accurate marksmanship began to show, and the Satsuma samurai, who had been heavily wounded, couldn't bear it anymore, and before Nishikanjiro gave the order, the Satsuma samurai drew their katanas and rushed towards Ikuban with a shout.

Infected by the samurai, the Japanese soldiers, who did not have katanas, stopped shooting, drew their bayonets, loaded them to their rifles, and rushed forward with the samurai with a loud scream.

"Bastard!" Seeing this scene, Nishikanjiro scolded fiercely, but there was nothing he could do about it, so he could only rush forward with the others.

Seeing that the Japanese were charging, the students retreated and shot at the same time, and bullets rained down on the Japanese ranks, and people kept falling. Nishikanjiro saw a bullet shoot a Japanese soldier out of the left eye. Many were wounded before they could get close to the enemy. The enemy was retreating, but not flinching. Relying on shelter on the spot, they began to concentrate their fire on the Japanese.

The Japanese fell again, but the samurai finally rushed to the enemy, and just as they were brandishing their katana and preparing to come forward to slash, the ground suddenly sank!

Dozens of people fell, followed by the terrifying sound of something sharp piercing into the flesh and heart-rending screams.

"Be careful! There are traps! Nishikanjiro stopped, waved his arms and shouted loudly, "Don't go over!" ”

Just as he finished speaking, a row of sharp arrows suddenly flew out of nowhere, shooting straight into the ranks of the Japanese, and with a terrible howl, dozens of people fell!

An arrow flew past the side of Nishikanjiro's face and nailed it to a tree beside him, Nishikanjiro felt a tingling pain in his face, and he quickly squatted down.

There were arrows flying everywhere, and Nishikanjiro and the Japanese soldiers couldn't see anyone shooting arrows, but the arrows kept flying from the forest, as if they had been in the forest for a long time!

Nishikanjiro looked at the Japanese soldiers who kept falling from arrows, and suddenly understood something, and his heart couldn't help but fall to the bottom.

The students must have set up traps and arrow-shooting traps here, and the corpses hanging from the trees and the rifle-wielding creatures who came to attack them were actually trying to lure them into the pre-arranged woods!

And when they entered, and the Shengfan retreated to a safe place, the hidden Shengban opened the mechanism and used these primitive but deadly weapons to kill and injure them!

"There are traps in the woods! Everyone, retreat! Fall back! Nishikanjiro shouted loudly.

Some Japanese soldiers from peasant backgrounds heard his shouts and began to run backwards in a chaotic manner, but the soldiers from samurai backgrounds ignored his shouts and continued to charge with howls.

Taking advantage of the gap between the reloads, a team of Satsuma samurai jumped over the trap that had devoured the lives of dozens of companions, and pounced on the team with katana held high, and the first small group of students were not afraid, and they also drew their scimitars pinned to their waists before they had time to reload, and rushed straight towards the Satsuma samurai.
