The strangulation on both battlefields continues. On the mountain road where the two battlefields meet, a unit is marching rapidly, and it can be seen from the fluttering plaster flag that it is the Japanese army, and looking at the stretch of length, it is definitely a large force. This was the 17th Division, which supported the No. 1 assembly area.

"Your Excellency the division commander, I have just received an urgent telegram from the DPRK Army Command, urging our department to speed up its advance." The herald with the radio on his back ran to the commander of the 17th Division, Lieutenant General Akashi Motojiro, and said.

"Got it. Urge the troops to speed up their advance. Lieutenant General Genjiro Akashi said loudly. With his order, the forward deceleration of the XVII Division increased significantly.

"Your Excellency the division commander, should you send a reconnaissance force to prevent the ambush of the people in this mountain?" Major General An Manqini, Chief of Staff of the 17th Division, suggested.

"No need. Before the war, the special high school had already figured out the size of the Chinese army on the battlefield, and these troops were basically on the battlefield, and it was impossible to send troops to ambush them, not to mention that we were a complete mission, and it was impossible for the enemy to eat 50,000 people in one bite. Therefore, even if there is an army on this mountain road, it is only a small force that harasses the advance of our department. Now the DPRK Army Headquarters has sent an urgent telegram urging it, explaining that the war situation in the No. 1 assembly area is not optimistic, and we should speed up our advance and strive to enter the battlefield as soon as possible to defeat the Chinese army. Lieutenant General Genjiro Akashi said confidently.

Chief of Staff An Manqin thought about it, and felt that His Excellency the division commander had the right idea, so he didn't say anything anymore, and turned around to urge the troops to speed up their advance.

In fact, were there any ambush troops in this mountain forest?

Yes, and it is a powerful force waiting for work, and Cao Zheng, the commander of the Northwest Military Region, led his most elite Fifth Division and some newly formed troops, a full 40,000 people, are lying in ambush in this mountain forest. In order to achieve the suddenness of the battle, the Fifth Division had already come to lurk in this mountain forest last night. In order to prevent detection, they lay on their stomachs in the snow and ice for a whole day.

In a relatively flat col between two hills. The vanguard of the 10th Division was stopped here.

"What's going on? How did the front stop? Lieutenant General Genjiro Akashi looked at the stagnant troops in front of him and said dissatisfied.

"Report to the division commander, the mountain road ahead has been dug up. The engineering units are urgently cleaning up! "The reconnaissance squadron of the vanguard team hurriedly ran back to report.

"Have you found any traces of the enemy?" Lieutenant General Akashi Motojiro asked in a deep voice.

"Commander, no, there is snow all around, and there is no trace of human activity. Judging by the degree of destruction, it should be a small force of the enemy who destroyed the mountain road and wanted to slow down the advance of our army. The squadron leader said loudly.

"Damn the Chi Na people, they only use some stealing tricks! Order the engineer brigade to speed up the operation and ensure that the advance route is unblocked. Lieutenant General Akashi Motojiro said helplessly.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, why did you stop?" Major General An Manqinyi rushed over from the rear of the team and said anxiously. It is very dangerous to rest in this depression surrounded by mountains, and it is a natural ambush field.

"The road ahead has been cut off! The sapper brigade is being cleared, and in a quarter of an hour at most, it will be cleared, chief of staff, let the soldiers rest in this depression for a while, and eat some dry food. Genjiro Akashi said loudly.

"Division commander, I'll take a look at the surrounding environment!" Major General An Manqin said.

Lieutenant General Akashi Motojiro nodded, after all, there is nothing wrong with being careful.

While the front-line engineer brigade was clearing the road, the Japanese army gradually converged into this depression.

The chief of staff of the 17th Division, An Manqinyi, slowly walked up to the position of the Northeast Army, looking at the surrounding environment, somehow, Major General An Manqinyi always had a bad premonition.

"You guys, send a few people up the mountain, look at the surrounding terrain, and prevent the enemy from laying an ambush on it." Major General An Manqin said to the junior officer beside him.

"Hay!"

Whoosh!

Poof, a dull sound. Major General An Manqin, who was inspecting the terrain, fell in disbelief, and in the center of his eyebrows, a blood hole the size of a thumb was bleeding.

"It's not good, there's a buried ......," the young officer yelled. It's a pity that before he finished shouting, there was another faint muffled sound, and Officer Shaozuo's head was directly exploded. Blood splattered the faces of the unsuspecting soldiers around them.

Bang Bang Bang!

The panicked Japanese soldiers opened fire on the dead mountains and forests around them, and the sound of gunfire shook the entire 17th Division.

"Yaga! Something's wrong! Lieutenant General Akashi Motojiro's face changed wildly. Shots rang out at the place where the chief of staff went, could it be that there was really an ambush here.

It's a pity that before Genjiro Akashi can determine what he thinks, dense gunshots rang out in the surrounding mountains and forests. Then there were huge wooden rolling stones falling down on the mountain walls on both sides, and judging by this situation, Lieutenant General Akashi Genjiro no longer knew that he was ambushed, so he was a pig. It's just that he can't figure out where this enemy is coming from? Could it be that there are a large number of reinforcements in China? How is it not covered in the intelligence of the special high class.

"Get down and fight back!" Lieutenant General Akashi Motojiro yelled. It is a pity that the division of more than 20,000 people is gathered in such a small area, and it is impossible to fully deploy it at all.

Boom, boom, boom.

Mortar shells of the Northeast Army fell on the depression, and each explosion brought a wave of blood. Rolling stones and trees fell down and killed a group of people. The Japanese soldiers, though well-trained, were unable to resist such an unsuspecting attack.

Thundered!

More and more rolling logs came down, almost filling the entire depression.

"Get out!" Lieutenant General Akashi Genjiro, who was protected by the guards, shouted. Then under his leadership, part of the soldiers of the 17th Division began to turn around and rush back.

Da-da-da-da!

The tongue of fire from the heavy machine gun shattered the last hope of the soldiers of the 17th Division like a nightmare. A network of dozens of heavy machine guns and hundreds of light machine guns blocked all escape routes.

On the hills on both sides, indifferent voices came.

"Put!"

One by one, the barrels rolled down the hill and fell apart halfway through, spilling a piece of liquid after dyeing. The pungent smell spread throughout the battlefield.

"No, it's kerosene!" The faces of the Japanese officers and soldiers changed wildly, and the Japanese soldiers fled even more frantically as they saw that more and more fallen trees were stained with none. At this time, fools know what the Northeast Army wants to do.

"Set fire!" The indifferent voice sounded again, and one torch after another was dropped. Ignited by kerosene, a monstrous fire erupted. And the giant tree that has just been dropped becomes the best fuel. For a time, the entire depression was shrouded in firelight.

On the top of the mountain, Cao Zheng, who was dressed in military uniform, had an unbearable look on his face. Turning his head to a colonel officer with a grim face, he said, "Brigade Commander Liu, this will be too ruthless, such an act will hurt the heavens and the peace!" ”

The young man glanced at Cao Zheng indifferently and said, "Commander Cao." We can't treat the enemy as human beings. It's a beast that is inferior to pigs and dogs, you say that dealing with beasts, will it hurt the peace of the heavens and the earth? ”

"This ......" Cao Zheng looked at the indifferent and murderous young man in front of him, and his heart couldn't help flashing the famous killing god of the Northeast Army-Liu Hei. The young man in front of him is named Liu Ta, and he is Liu Hei's cousin. As a criminal prison family, his personality is even more indifferent than Liu Hei. And Liu Ta is different from Liu Hei, Liu Ta has an indifferent personality and doesn't like to talk. When Feng Yong wanted to form the gendarmerie, he fell in love with him at a glance and asked him to be the first instructor of the gendarmerie. After the establishment of the gendarmerie, the indifference and ruthlessness it showed made the entire Northeast Army tremble, which made the discipline of the Northeast Army much better. After completing the task, Liu Ta was appointed by Feng Yong as a colonel officer and officially transferred to the SS as the commander of the 2nd SS Regiment. There is no shortage of lieutenant colonel commanders and major commanders in the Northeast Army, but the colonel Liu Ta is still the first. But no one dared to underestimate him. The SS was a personal guard formed by the young marshal. The current momentum of expansion is very strong, and Feng Yong may have other deep meanings for letting him be a colonel as the head of the regiment. What's more, his identity as the founder of the gendarmerie also made everyone dare not underestimate him.

Originally, Cao Zheng's task was to hide and stand by without being discovered by the enemy, find advantageous fighters, and severely damage one of them. Later, Cao Zheng analyzed the enemy situation and chose to set up an ambush position in the middle of the two battlefields to ambush possible reinforcements from both sides. It's just that the original plan to solve it with weapons was changed by Liu Ta to attack with kerosene fire. Anyway, with logistical support, kerosene, as a civilian resource, is not difficult to collect. As for the number, there is no problem at all for the Northeast Army, which has timely logistical support.

Ahh

The terrible screams resounded throughout the battlefield, and the Japanese soldiers who were originally injured by the rolling stones and wood were unable to escape from the flames at all, and could only be burned alive. The pungent smell and smoke of kerosene, as well as the stench of charred corpses, made the entire battlefield filthy. In particular, the terrible screams of the Japanese soldiers before they died stimulated the nerves of the Japanese soldiers. Let the soldier of or become a human heart floats. After all, the 17th Division is a newly built division, and most of them are recruits, so it is normal for fear to appear on such a tragic battlefield.

The mortar bombardment of the hill was constantly venting to combat the phenomenon of gathering among the enemy's troops. As the French resistance forces gathered in the 17th Division were dispersed one after another, the Japanese resistance became weaker and weaker. Up to now, as long as Japan does not have reinforcements, the fate of the 17th Division is already doomed.

Tick Tick Tick Tick ...... The loud trumpets of the Northeast Army sounded, and the soldiers of the Northeast Army on the mountain walls on both sides slid down the mountain walls one after another through ropes, and then thought that the Japanese army would launch a final attack.

"Commander Cao! The effect of the fire attack is good, right? It's a pity that this 17th Division is a newly built division, and if it is a permanent division, then our credit will be great! The corners of Liu Ta's mouth twitched, and a smile on his face was more ugly than crying. The biggest difference between Liu Ta and Liu Hei, although Liu Hei is also relatively silent, his smile is no different from that of a normal person, but Liu Ta gives people an eerie feeling even if he laughs.
