Chapter 32: Shao Zuo's decision

After the busy fighters evacuated the construction site, the place where they had just fought was exposed. At a glance, there is nothing unusual about the ground where thousands of people have worked, and it is integrated with the surrounding scenery, without the slightest trace of artificial processing, and I don't know what these thousands of people are busy with just now.

After the troops gathered, under the leadership of their respective unit commanders, they quickly disappeared into the surrounding woods and grass. The terrain near the river beach has long been clearly explored by the commanders of these troops, and the commanders of the 500 Brigade know all about where to hide people and where to set up ambushes. The latent positions of the respective units have been divided for a long time, and now that they have received orders and taken action, they will naturally move quickly and in an orderly manner. In just ten minutes, the river beach area, which was still full of people just now, has returned to silence, except for the sound of the river flowing, there is not even the chirping of birds, the breeze blows, the blades of grass sway, everything shows an eerie tranquility.

The Japanese troops of Noda's brigade followed after twenty minutes. Chasing here, the devils were dumbfounded, and the constant enemy tracks along the way suddenly disappeared here. There is a river dozens of meters wide in front, and on the bank of the river is a large area of gravel land, barren grass, and woods, no matter how you look at it, it does not look like there were troops passing by not long ago.

The devil in front couldn't find the way forward and stopped. The devils behind followed one after another, and thousands of devils quickly gathered together on the highway. Noda Shaosa rushed to the front of the team when he heard the news, and he was stunned when he looked at the scene in front of him. What is it? Where did the squadron in front go? Noda's little eyes flickered around, and suddenly, he realized what was wrong.

River! There's a river here! The cunning Chinese must have crossed the river and fled! It's just, why is there no bridge on this river? Could it be that the squadron destroyed the bridge after crossing the river? It must be so! They were afraid of the pursuit of the imperial army, so they crossed the river and demolished the bridge and fled! Noda was complacent that he remembered two more Chinese idioms, but he didn't think about whether the bridge would have been destroyed by the Japanese army.

"Order, Yamada's team searched along the river to find the location of the bridge. The main force of the brigade was stationed on the spot. Muto's squadron searched near the woods. "In the end, Noda Hiroki is an experienced general who has led troops for many years, and in the face of this clueless dilemma, he immediately came up with a countermeasure.

It should be said that these orders of Noda Shaoza are all decent. In the face of this situation where the enemy situation is unknown, I chased all the way, and I didn't even see a single figure in the squadron, so it is said that returning the same way is the best strategy. However, it is understandable that Noda Hongyi Shaoza, who mobilized troops to mobilize troops for a long-distance pursuit this time, but found nothing, and returned empty-handed, and was afraid that this would cause dissatisfaction among his superiors and that it would be difficult to explain when he returned.

In all fairness, in the current situation, the arrangement made by Noda Shaosa should be said to have no loopholes. Of course, this is only the way it should be, but the particularity of things exists at all times, and at the moment, it is the great misfortune of misfortune, the most special of the particular. As soon as the Noda Brigade entered this area, they had already entered the heavy encirclement of the squadron and the 500th Brigade. If Noda Shaoza is a little more conservative in his thinking, he finds that the squadron has lost a trace, so he simply and decisively leads the troops to turn around and go back, although the squadron in ambush here will still attack his brigade, the Noda brigade with its sharp combat ability, although it can be retreated with the whole army, and most of it escapes, it is estimated that there is no problem.

But Noda Shaoza ordered the troops to be stationed on the spot, especially to send one of his squadrons with the strongest combat effectiveness to the woods to search, then it can only be said that the day is going to kill his Noda brigade.

In the woods that Noda Shaosa was referring to, it was the absolute main force of the 500 Brigade, Wang Dazhu's 500 Regiment, the 500 Brigade Headquarters, and all the directly subordinate troops except the artillery battalion. These troops of nearly 3,000 people have accounted for nearly half of the total strength of the Independent Brigade, and under the deliberate care of Gao Quan and Wang Dazhu, the people in these units are the absolute main force of the 500 Brigade in terms of firepower and collective combat capability. No matter how capable the Muto squadron is, no matter how rich the combat experience of the devils of this squadron is, and how tenacious the will to fight is, after all, there are only two or three hundred people, and in the face of a sudden attack by a squadron ten times larger than itself, it is self-evident what the outcome will be.

Due to the natural cover of the trees, the soldiers of our army can clearly see the movements of the devils in the forest, but it is impossible for the devils to see our soldiers. It's like a one-sided mirror, all the devils see outside is a dense forest, but our warriors can clearly see every move of the devils.

Ambush into the woods, it is not that there are no restrictions at all, at the very least, the artillery in the army can not exert their power here, the trees in the woods are too dense, and there are always branches in the middle of the projectile trajectory. However, even without the help of artillery, the nearly 3,000 guns in the hands of these two or three thousand soldiers are enough for the little devils to fully enjoy.

Captain Muto led his squadron quickly towards the woods designated by Shaosa. This forest is the most suspicious area of this place called Liu Beipo. There was a forest on the left side of the riverbank, and a village a thousand meters away on the right, and Captain Muto didn't understand why Shaosa didn't let him go to the village to search, but he wanted to wander around this forest without any oil and water. Although there were quite a few complaints about Noda Hiroi's orders, Muto, as a professional soldier, still unswervingly carried out the orders of his superiors.

It was only two hundred meters away from the dense and somewhat overly dense woods, and Captain Muto decided that the troops should only advance one or two hundred meters through the woods, and if they still couldn't get through the woods, they would withdraw immediately. The two or three hundred soldiers under his command could not stay in the woods for most of the day.

In the seemingly calm woods, a strange sound suddenly sounded. That voice sounded so familiar, just like when Muto first joined the army, in the recruit company with all the recruits, listening to the order of the team leader Cao Chang to pull the bolt, "Wow! ”。 Yes, it was the sound of pulling the bolt, but the sound here was countless times louder than the sound made by Muto's team at the beginning, and the sound didn't sound so neat that if it weren't for Captain Muto's familiarity with this sound, he wouldn't have been able to tell the origin of the sound at all.

"Stop moving! Raise your gun and shoot! Captain Muto uttered these two words with all the strength he could at this time, but the sound fell to his own ears, and he felt inaudible. Because, the woods have already sounded gunshots that are many times denser than the popping beans!
