Riding on his horse, Kono whipped his riding boots with a whip and said slowly, "It's unrealistic to always want to fight the enemy's main force and defeat the opponent in one fell swoop. I have fought in Manchuria against the bearded people of China, and I know this very well! Especially after entering the mountains and forests, after the imperial army's mobility and firepower superiority were lost, they often became the live target of those bandits with accurate marksmanship. My biggest experience is that the use of the Chinese bandits to fight the Chinese bandits, they are familiar with the terrain and each other's habits, and they often have great results. ”

"Your Excellency Kono really has a way." Shimada grinned bitterly, stretched out his finger and pointed at the puppet army that opened the way first, and said with disdain: "However, this group of guys doesn't seem to be strong enough, I'm afraid they will disappoint Your Excellency." ”

"Hahahaha, Shimada-kun is also humorous." Kono laughed and said, "Of course, it is not enough to rely on them alone, but behind them is an invincible imperial army, probably enough, right?" ”

"Boom, boom, boom......" A series of mines exploded one after another on the road, and the chain of thunderstorms was like a giant python that suddenly turned out of the ground, and the enemy was killed and wounded heavily on the road for nearly two miles.

The march was forced to stop, and Kono frowned tightly and sent out sappers.

"Bang, bang, bang!" Several gunshots rang out in the distance, and then the gunfire intensified, and Kono reined in his horse and held up his binoculars.

A crowd of enemies shouted and pounced on the attacker's hiding place. A moment later, the ghost soldiers and puppet soldiers rushed into the woods, and after a flurry of gunfire, they began to search carefully.

"Ahh A puppet soldier seemed to stumble under his feet, "Boom! With a loud bang, a stick mine hidden in the weeds and trees exploded, sweeping through the debris and wood chips, raising a large cloud of smoke, and several enemies fell to the ground with screams.

Cold guns were still ringing, and several snipers in camouflage uniforms hid in the woods, using dug trenches and fortifications, constantly moving, sniping the enemy. The enemies who rushed into the woods to search were constantly killed and wounded by the roar of stick mines and stepping mines.

But no one is seen when the guns go off? Kono looked through the binoculars, and he seemed to remember the battle he had encountered in Kanto again, which was somewhat similar to it!

Shelling and encircling the woods, Kono made adjustments. The snipers in the woods, seeing that they could not defend themselves, withdrew along the cat's waist in the trenches.

A skirmish ended, and the enemy lost more than a dozen dead and wounded, but nothing was gained, and a lot of time was delayed.

Kono led his team to continue to set out, facing the ruined road, the occasional explosion of mines, and the sniping of cold guns, the enemy had to advance with great vigilance, and the speed of the march became very slow.

The enemy in Dangshan was harassed by small groups of three or five troops, mainly because they did not expect that the Third Column not only carried out a large amount of road-breaking work in advance, but also used a large number of mines. And their sappers are obviously insufficient, and their mine-sweeping equipment is not complete. Coupled with the fact that the harassment forces used snipers and took good care of the sappers who walked in front, Kono and Shimada were a little at a loss.

You must know that landmines were used on a large scale by anti-Japanese forces after 1940. In previous wars against Japan, although there were examples of the use of landmines, they were not common, and there were not so many tricks.

This result surprised Guo Songlin and others, who were in charge of directing harassment, and at the same time gained a deeper understanding of the benefits of landmines. Mines are dead, but the deterrent effect on the enemy is very large. And it doesn't matter how much you bury, even if only one mine blows off, the enemy will become cautious and frightened.

The enemy on this side marched slowly, but the enemy in Xiayi did not enjoy the hospitality of mines and snipers, and drove in and rushed straight to the foot of Tiejiao Mountain, where they really encountered a stubborn resistance.

"Boom, boom, boom......" The artillery roared incessantly, shells exploded on the mountain, and sawdust and soil continued to rise along with the smoke of gunpowder.

Koji Takeshita, the commander of the Japanese army, held the binoculars and did not put them down for a long time.

Although he knew that the closer he got to Eijo, the enemy would definitely fight to the death, Koji Takeshita really didn't expect the attack to be so unsmooth.

To march into Yeongseong, it is necessary to pass through a large section of the slopes of Tiejiao Mountain. As a barrier to the county, the three verticals excavated and built very strong fortifications here.

There is a blockade ditch on the hillside that is one zhang deep and one zhang wide, and the fortifications on the hill are not as strong as those built in haste. The trenches are zigzag, there are also individual anti-artillery holes, which can effectively protect against shelling, and the bunkers are connected to each other, bunkers and the rear. In this way, people are not exposed to the ground, and they can quickly mobilize troops to support each other. With two infantry guns and a few mortars, it was not easy for the Japanese army to attack such a strong defensive line.

But the Japanese army was not a puppet army, they were stubborn, ferocious, and tenacious, and they usually used a bull's strength in battle, stubbornly advancing towards the predetermined goal, ignoring some small losses.

After the artillery bombardment, the first batch of attacks began, and fifty or sixty puppet soldiers, under the supervision of several Japanese soldiers, rushed upwards with shouts.

Five hundred meters, the soldiers on the opposite side were silent; Two hundred meters, still silent. The more we get into the blockade ditch, the more sinister and ominous this silence becomes.

The "Da ......" machine gun spewed out tongues of fire from the sudden bunker, followed by rifles and grenadier canisters roaring angrily, and the fire net enveloped the enemy, throwing the enemy within 100 meters into a pool of blood and death.

In just a quarter of an hour, the first round of the offensive failed. Only a dozen people retreated, and the rest were all corpses on the hillside.

Koji Takeshita was enraged, he was not intolerant of his subordinates losing the battle, but he could not tolerate the consequences of defeat. Japanese shouts and curses can be heard from the top of the mountain, and the soldiers of the Three Columns express their urgency to have non-friendly and intimate relationships with the female relatives of the Emperor in broken Japanese.

So after the second round of shelling, a larger offensive began. Under the supervision of the devils, the puppet army took turns to attack. Commanders at all levels supervised the battle layer by layer, and the soldiers were forced by the guns of the Japanese devil supervision team, like a group of prisoners with dead faces, rushing to the blockade ditch and fire net on the top of the mountain.

After several attacks, Koji Takeshita was slightly relieved to see that the blockade ditch was being filled with wood, dirt bags and other debris, which would be a bloody bridge built at the cost of more than 100 casualties.

The artillery that had moved forward stopped firing, and Koji Takeshita adjusted its deployment in preparation for the next onslaught. But he didn't expect that his opponent was waiting for his big attack, and a sinister trap was waiting for him to jump in.

The enemy can be said to have driven straight into this way, and has not been harassed or delayed by mines and snipers, and the resulting paralysis and carelessness will be very fatal.
