On Tagawa Street, a group of Chinese soldiers patrolled on foot, flanked by Tagawa civilians who cast hostile eyes. Taro Matsushima, a peddler, pulled his cart to the side of the road, kept his head down and waited for the patrol soldiers to pass before continuing out of the city, and ten minutes later Taro Matsushima left Tagawa and disappeared into the wilderness.

In a small village about three kilometers north of Tagawa, Matsushima Taro walked into the door of a small courtyard, clicked the door a few times rhythmically, and a prime man flashed out of the door, looked left and right, and then helped Matsushima Taro push the car in, and then closed the gate.

In a small village with mostly civil houses, the small stone courtyard that Matsushima Taro entered was considered a large family, and there was nothing unusual from the outside, but inside the courtyard, dozens of Great Khans were operating outside the courtyard, and it was obvious that it was a guerrilla camp.

"Report to Major General, Taro Matsushima returns."

"Call him in."

Major General Takasaki, who had been the top officer of the 14th Division since Utsunomiya's death, led his troops to Fukuoka after breaking through the siege, and then organized the Kyushu guerrillas under the instructions of his superiors. In a short period of time, Takasaki quickly developed and grew the guerrilla force, which also prevented Tokyo from continuing to send leaders here.

Takasaki did not advocate negotiations with the Chinese state, and in his opinion, most of Kyushu was in his hands, and the Chinese were only arrogant on both sides of the city and the main roads, and as long as they insisted on guerrilla warfare, the Chinese would definitely be dragged to death and exhausted by the guerrillas. It's just that those politicians don't care about the thoughts of the warriors of the army at all, and they insist on going their own way, and the government is led by such politicians, and even the emperor is blinded, and Japan will have to perish in their hands sooner or later!

There are not a few extreme militarists like Takasaki, but this force is relatively weak, and the prestige of veteran politicians is great, and Japan's successive victories in several wars have made the position of Aritomo Yamaguchi and others unshakable, but this time Japan's defeat finally made the middle and lower level officers waver, and they tried to find a new way out.

However, the most important thing at the moment is to attack the Chinese garrison in Kyushu. Especially the troops of Tagawa's regiment, Tagawa was an important transit point for the Kyushu guerrillas to get supplies, and the presence of the Chinese army made Takasaki very uncomfortable and had to be pulled out!

"Your Excellency, Matsushima Taro has returned from reconnaissance and come to report."

Predecessors get out of the way. Matsushima Taro approached, saluted, and said, "Taro Matsushima, the leader of the reconnaissance detachment of the Fukuoka Guerrilla Brigade, reports to you!" ”

Takasaki nodded, and Matsushima Taro continued: "As for Tagawa, the Chinese army has been staying in the city for the past five days and has not been dispatched. According to the reconnaissance of the internal line, the Chinese army has not had a transport team in the barracks for six days, and it is very likely that the Chinese army will wait for supplies and then carry out the next encirclement and suppression. ”

"How is the battle of the 3rd Guerrilla Squadron?"

"The 3rd Squadron has completely cut off the line of communication on the west side of Tagawa and attacked the convoy four times in half a month. The results were brilliant. However, according to the report of the 3rd Squadron, a strange Chinese army unit of about 30 people appeared near Fukuoka, and they followed the retreating guerrillas according to the traces of the attack point, and after finding the hiding village, they lured the guerrillas out of the village by shooting civilians. Four squads had already been lost at their hands. In addition, similar Chinese squads were found in Kumamoto, Saga, Oita and other areas. ”

"Stupid!" Takasaki slapped the table and said angrily, "No more obvious tactic. Are those squads stupid pigs, how can they be easily baited? ”

"Report Major General. Most of the team members are from nearby villages where they have loved ones, which should be the cause of their anger. ”

"The fate of the empire is in turmoil, and they still have the leisure to pay attention to the life and death of their loved ones! If you can, all of them will die for the Empire! Takasaki calmed down for a moment, and then said, "This Chinese army squad should be a team composed of guerrillas that are specially designed to deal with. All guerrilla units were ordered to temporarily suspend attacks in the Fukuoka area. ”

"Is it necessary to stop all attacks because of the actions of thirty people, will it allow the Chinese army to take this opportunity to gain more say?"

"Just wait for two days, in these two days, we will plan a comprehensive plan to wipe out all the Chinese army squad and Tian Chuan's Chinese army!"

"The convoy heading to Tagawa was attacked again. I would like the first group support! "The first group, which had been idle for two days, finally received combat duty again, first arriving at the place of attack by truck, and then the first group maneuvered alone, trying to quickly catch up with the enemy's tail.

Strangely, the enemy did not hide in the village, but continued to flee to the northeast.

From dirt roads to field paths and then to mountain roads, the first group had no choice but to abandon motor vehicles and pursue on foot.

"Captain, will the little devil have any tricks? From the beginning of the pursuit, to the discovery of them, to the entry into the mountain forest, it has been forty minutes. It's understandable that they don't go into the village, but when they go into the forest, I'm afraid of an ambush. Song Hao walked quickly to the captain and said.

"If all the enemies change their tactics, then we will never find them. Adapt, we have wireless communication facilities, so you can call for support at any time. ”

The captain said so, then continue to chase, besides, we are special forces, and those shrimp soldiers and crabs will not be difficult for us! The speed of the first group in the mountains and forests is even faster, and it is a paradise compared to the mountains and forests of Myanmar, and it is also a paradise for special forces. Pursuing in tactical formation, they quickly approached the guerrillas.

"Hurry up!" Matsushima Taro gasped for breath, this guerrilla squad consisted of seventy-five people, led by himself. The enemy in the rear pursued too fast, and they had such a tool as a bicycle, which was too much of an advantage for the partisans on foot. Although they entered the mountains and forests, the guerrillas also ran for nearly an hour, and no matter how strong their physical strength was, they were almost exhausted, but they were still more than 2,000 meters away from the ambush circle that had been set up!

Entering the firing range, the first group opened fire one after another, and several enemy soldiers were hit, but they still fled vigorously and did not stop counterattacking. The galloping bullets gave the guerrillas their last strength, and one by one they fell, but by the time the guerrillas disappeared behind the hill, more than 30 of them had already been hit.

Jiang Maosheng climbed up the mountain, and below was a large valley with dense pine forests, and the guerrillas disappeared into the jungle on the hillside after descending the mountain. The captain ordered to continue the pursuit, Jiang Maosheng felt that something was wrong, but he didn't think much about it, and rushed down.

"Boom!" As they approached the bottom of the valley, a loud bang threw the first team into trouble, and one of the team members was suddenly blown into the sky! Anti-infantry mines!

In the original Battle of Guangzhou, the Zhenguo Army used anti-infantry mines for the defense of the Japanese army, which were then copied by the Japanese. This cheap and efficient weapon then spread all over the world and was imitated by Britain, France, Germany, and the United States and other military powers. In the Russo-Japanese War, mines were widely used, and the Russian army laid out vast minefields around Lushun, which caused the attacking Japanese troops to suffer a lot of losses.

The appearance of the mine made the captain realize that something was wrong, he did not see the enemy, did not know the size of the minefield, and could not move on, this must be a trap of the enemy!

"Retreat!" The first team briefly cleaned up the wreckage of the deceased team members, and then immediately returned the way they came. Taro Matsushima, who was lying on the hillside gasping, saw the enemy's decisive retreat, and knew that he could not wait for them all to enter the ambush circle, so he immediately ordered to open fire.

The sound of gunfire from the front confirmed the captain's judgment, but there were also gunshots from the direction of the arrival, indicating that the enemy had surrounded the place! Immediately after that, there were gunshots on both sides, yes, it was an encirclement.

"Northeast Rush!" The captain observed and ordered, Song Hao and Jiang Maosheng glanced at each other, three thousand meters in that direction is the highest mountain cliff, the captain is going to hold on and wait for help, why don't you choose a direction to break through the encirclement?

The northeast was a dead end, the enemy did not set up troops in this direction, the first group fought while retreating, and the dense jungle blocked the flying bullets, which bought time for the first group and did not cause casualties in the process of retreating.

"Hahahaha, kill them, kill the invaders!" Matsushima Taro shouted excitedly, he was chased to death by the **** Chinese army before, but now they are fleeing, and the direction is a cliff that is impossible to escape, isn't this looking for death!

"Immediately inform General Takasaki that the enemy is surrounded by our troops on the cliff and has nowhere to escape!" Matsushima Taro did not forget the main thing, the large army on Major General Takasaki's side was the main force of this operation, there were 10,000 soldiers, all of them were the main force of the guerrillas drawn from Fukuoka and Saga, Takasaki had been preparing for this operation for more than half a month, and the first group just provided the conditions for this operation.
