"Our army has a total of 93,000 troops in the First Army and the Second Army in Kyushu, 650 artillery pieces, 2,300 trucks and other motor vehicles, sufficient ammunition, and an overwhelming advantage in firepower and mobility. At present, it occupies Kyushu and other prefectures such as Kagoshima, Miyazaki, Kumamoto, Oita, Fukuoka, Saga, and Nagasaki, and occupies major transportation routes and occupies various strategic points. ”

"Speaking of the enemy, the Japanese escaped the encirclement of the 14th Division after the siege of Makien and were reduced to pieces in the Fukuoka area, and the temporary brigade mobilization troops they had organized before the war were also reduced to pieces, and under the leadership of the officers of the 14th Division, they were reorganized and scattered throughout Kyushu as a mobile and flexible guerrilla force. According to the analysis, there were 232 guerrilla detachments of more than 10 people, and although they suffered heavy losses under the blows of our troops, the number of guerrillas did not decrease. On the one hand, the Japanese upper echelons constantly sent small units from other regions to infiltrate Kyushu and join the guerrillas, and on the other hand, the local people in Kyushu were extremely hostile to China and were highly motivated to join the guerrillas. ”

"In addition, the size of our navy, combined with the ineffective blockade of the Russian cruisers, led to the sneaking of about fifteen British ships into the Gulf of Tonkin, providing it with a large quantity of munitions, and providing the Kyushu guerrillas with a source of munitions. We do not need to worry about the fact that Japan's own military production capacity has fallen to freezing point due to the occupation of Kyushu Island and the cutting off of sea routes. ”

"From the end of the Battle of Makien to the present, the guerrillas have continued to attack our transport lines, resulting in the slow progress of troops advancing into other prefectures in Kyushu. After the occupation of the whole territory of Kyushu, the guerrilla attacks reached their peak, and the guerrillas could be found in almost every place, but when the support troops arrived at the attack site, there was no trace of the guerrillas, and the Japanese civilians in the area did not say anything. ”

"Against guerrilla attacks. The Kyushu Group Army adopted many methods, including cutting off lines of communication, stationing troops in key villages and towns, and cracking down on the infiltration of small convoys into Kyushu from Honshu, Shikoku, and other places, but the results were not great. Although we have an army of nearly 100,000, it is still too small for the nearly 10 million people of Kyushu Island. It's impossible to do everything. ”

The colonel's presentation was clean and clean, without a bit of dragging and without even introducing his name and position, but the special operations team liked this style, which is also the most popular way of communication in the army.

Jiang Maosheng vaguely felt that the Chinese army could not eat here than the British army in Burma, and the British army had the assistance of the Burmese colonial army and the Indian colonial army, and the Chinese army had nothing to learn from here, and they could not even find a Japanese willing to act as a puppet army! It's horrible.

Lu Lang, who led the team, also noticed this. Raise your hand and ask, "Isn't there a Japanese willing to help us, even with a high reward?" ”

"No, the fierceness and solidarity of the Japanese were beyond our expectations, and the Japanese guerrillas executed all the Japanese civilians who showed goodwill to us, even if they only sold us an egg."

Lu Lang: "Let me analyze that the Japanese guerrillas have logistical support, have the broadest popular base, have relatively complex terrain and countless villages and towns as cover. It can penetrate through unknown paths and mountain roads, and has a relatively sufficient supply of weapons. Is that so? ”

"Yes. That's where we got the tricky stuff, and that's why we brought in you experts in counter-guerrilla warfare. ”

Lu Lang was not polite, and asked what he didn't understand the most: "It doesn't seem like it is completely occupying Kyushu Island, according to what I know, Japan is seeking to negotiate with China, why are the two countries still fighting for an inch of land in Kyushu?" ”

The colonel smiled and shook his head. This kind of question is also what they are trying to know, since they will soon evacuate Kyushu Island, there is no need to fight hard, and Kyushu's industrial facilities and important materials such as food have been almost transferred, and there are not many resources worthy of Huaguo's attention!

"Exactly for the sake of negotiation!" A middle-aged man in a general's uniform walked in as he spoke. This is General Lu Mao, commander of the Kyushu Group Army, and one of the founders of the special operations brigade.

Wow, everyone stood up to greet the general, Lu Mao stood straight at the front, signaled to sit down, and then the key words came out of his thick lips.

"We would like to make clear to the Japanese that China will permanently occupy the island of Kyushu and take advantage of the idea that the Japanese will not give up Kyushu to strive for the greatest benefit from the negotiations. Do you understand this way, the battle with the Kyushu guerrillas will not end until the negotiations are over, and we will fight the guerrillas with the greatest force. After that, your special operations team will become the main force of operations, and according to the information we provide, we will pursue every guerrilla unit that attacks us, and weaken the enemy's strength to the greatest extent! ”

"Yes!"

Without any doubt, the special forces soon entered combat mode, and the 120 members were divided into four combat sittings, the first group was in Fukuoka, where the resistance was fiercest, which was the base camp of the guerrillas; The second group is based in Saga Prefecture; The third group is based in Kumamoto Prefecture; The fourth group is located in Miyazaki Prefecture.

The Reaper team was assigned to the first group, and they had to fight against the largest and most ferocious guerrillas, and the militants from Fukuoka, Saga, Nagasaki, and other places inherited the fierce and murderous nature of their ancestors, and this was also the area where the army suffered the most losses.

"A guerrilla detachment was found in the Chikushino area, estimated at one hundred and fifty people, but it was repelled by the transport team and asked for reinforcement!" On the second day of their arrival in Fukuoka, the first group received a call for help, and according to the plan, the army would send a company to support the attacked convoy, and the first group would accompany it, after which the army company would escort the convoy back, and the first group would track down the guerrillas and eliminate them.

The convoy from Fukuoka to Chikushino soon arrived at the site of the attack, and Jiang Maosheng observed the scene, where three of the 15 trucks of the convoy had been destroyed, all of which had been damaged by mines and were burning. Two of the ten soldiers escorting the convoy were wounded, and the rest formed the convoy in a circle to form improvised fortifications. The partisans attacked ten soldiers with more than a hundred enemies, it was supposed that machine guns and grenades played a role, and the proximity of Fukuoka to here allowed for the rapid arrival of reinforcements, which should have been the main reason for the retreat of the partisans.

"The enemy only had rifles, some single-shot rifles, but there was no heavy fire such as machine guns, and there were few grenades, and we killed a dozen people, and the rest fled in a southwestern direction."

Based on the descriptions of the guards and the traces on the ground, the first group quickly pursued in the direction of the enemy's flight. The team did not advance on foot, and the thirty military bicycles that came with the truck became the motor vehicles of the first group. The area around Fukuoka on the island of Kyushu is a low, gentle area with many basins and plains, and although the roads are dirt roads, they are large enough for bicycles to run quickly.

The guerrillas had no horses or bicycles and had no means of transportation, so they had to walk, and it took about 30 minutes for the guerrillas to leave from the time the first group arrived at the scene and the time they began the pursuit. But according to the army's experience, they are likely to hide in a village, where they are under makeup to avoid being pursued by the Chinese army.

It is impossible for the army to kill all the civilians in every village, at least it has to find out which village the guerrillas are hiding into, and this is what the first team is good at, even if it is a stone road, Jiang Maosheng can guess the accurate route based on the traces of lodging of grass and trees, and the scattered objects left by the guerrillas. Of course, the army has also dispatched a number of military dogs before, but there are countless rivers and small rivers here, and it is easy for military dogs to lose the trace of the enemy.

Fifteen kilometers away, the first group lurked two kilometers outside a village, and through the telescope, the village appeared to be extremely peaceful, with women and men working in the fields in rough clothes, a few children playing on the village road with wooden swords, and even a village primary school open, and the teachers did not know how many children were skipping school. A small river runs around the village, and the population is about 500 people, a normal Japanese village.

But that's the problem, the traces of the guerrillas disappeared here, and it was obvious that they were hiding in the village, and maybe the men who were working in the fields were part of the guerrillas. The village was not panicked at all, which shows that the villagers of this village have long been accustomed to the entry and exit of the guerrillas, and some of the members of the team are from this village.

Definitely not a good citizen! But how to eliminate that guerrilla force is very tricky, and these thirty people can't kill all the civilians, anyway, Song Hao can't do anything to those children, as for his partner Jiang Maosheng, it shouldn't be, Song Hao is not very sure.

"Sniper, shoot the enemy. The assaulters set up an ambush outside the village with me, and we will hunt them down. "The captain's arrangement is very simple, if it is not for the tacit understanding, I can't understand what he is saying.

Jiang Maosheng and Song Hao turned to leave, slowly approached the entrance of the village, and set up an improvised sniper point about two hundred meters away, with Song Hao as an observer to guide the target. (To be continued.) )
