The Japanese vehicles of the brigade were driving on the roads in normal condition, and Vietnam at this time had become a colony of Vichy France after the German occupation of France. Before the Japanese army forced the Vietnamese colonial authorities to close the Yunnan-Vietnam railway, and after joining the Axis powers, they asked to send troops to Vietnam, Vichy France was forced by the Japanese army to press the border, and had to sign at the negotiating table, but the commander of the 5th Division in the south, Nakamura Akito, could not restrain the impulse to go south, and once again violated the will of the base camp, led the 5th Division and its subsidiary troops of more than 30,000 people to cross the Sino-Vietnamese border, and rushed to Qiongshan, an important military town in Vietnam, in three ways.

At this time, the French colonial army in Vietnam was less than 5,000 people, and some of them were still stationed in various places, and in the face of more than six times the number of Japanese troops, they were simply powerless and had no will to resist. As a result, the Japanese army's original move to show the prestige of the imperial army turned into a large-scale march completely.

The navy, which had been waiting for a long time to move south, also acted quickly, and with the cooperation of the 5th Division, quickly landed at a port controlled by the Japanese army, obtained the coastal defense of Vietnam, and also obtained a large-scale port in Vietnam.

Although Nakamura Akito was subsequently dismissed from the post of commander of the Fifth Division because of the example of the Japanese military history again, Vietnam's abundant grain, as well as jute and cotton, were urgently needed by Japan at this time. The Japanese army has never had the consciousness of spitting back the meat they have eaten. As a country and nation that has been barren and few people and lacked resources since ancient times, it has the greed that has been cultivated for thousands of years in its bones. It's not something that can be changed in a short period of time.

Soon, after the three-month closure of the Yunnan-Burma Railway and the Yunnan-Burma Highway, Britain realized that there was no possibility of reconciliation with Japan, and at this time, the United States also began to ban the import of steel resources to Japan after signing the Trilateral Pact in Germany, Japan, and Italy. As for the last card of oil in the hand, even the United States cannot play it without scruples, and once the oil is banned, it will mean the beginning of the war between the two countries. Not to mention Japan, which has been almost rampant in East Asia in modern times and has the world's third naval fleet.

"Quick, just ahead, I saw a small army in the village in front, they are Chinese. My father fought with soldiers of the Black Flag Army and understood the Chinese. Nguyen Chi Minh wore a pair of tattered straw sandals, his skin was brown and yellow, and he was shirtless, leading nearly a squadron of Japanese troops through the hot and humid jungle.

"Be careful, there's a cobra there, don't lean over, it's very aggressive."

"Dada"

A string of machine-gun bullets fired, and the cobra, which was more than two meters long, curled up on the ground in pain. It didn't take long for the silence to be heard.

"This hell weather, it's really hot, I've drunk all the water I brought, where can I find water here?" Nakamura Buzang is called to live in Nguyen Chi Minh Road.

"More than two miles ahead, there is a small river." As a local, Ruan Zhiming replied very familiarly.

"Take us there, I didn't expect that there was still a Chinese army in Vietnam, it seems that they must also have some kind of intention in Southeast Asia, or they are preparing to prevent the empire from attacking Southeast Asia and cutting off the Yunnan-Burma Railway and the Yunnan-Burma Highway. The intentions of the people of China are really sinister, and they actually started to lay out so early. Yo Xi, you are a friendly person of the Goodwill Empire, as long as you succeed in finding the Shina Army this time, the Empire will definitely not treat you badly. Nakamura Buzo patted Ruan Zhiming on the shoulder, satisfied.

"It was my honor to help the Japanese army."

A look of excitement flashed in Nguyen Chi Minh's eyes, in Vietnam, it is a very proud thing to be able to establish relations with the Japanese army, at least at this time, no one regarded the Japanese army as an aggressor, first as a subordinate state of the Qing government, and later as a French colony, at this time, the Vietnamese only regarded the Japanese army as a savior to save Vietnam from colonial rule.

And the Japanese army also made itself an image of saving the Vietnamese people from fire and water. The Northwest Special Operations Team secretly conducted some training in some areas of Southeast Asia, although it avoided the eyes and ears of most people, but there is no impermeable wall in the world, although the base in Vietnam is relatively small and not much, but it was still discovered by Ruan Zhiming by chance. Nguyen Chi Minh, who had never had a good impression of the Chinese, soon sold the news to the Japanese. And Nakamura Buzang is very keenly aware that this silk rope is very valuable, but in the uncertain situation, Nakamura Buzang did not bring a large number of troops to dispatch, only sent a squadron to explore the bottom first, in case not, Ruan Zhiming is certainly unlucky, and the jokes of the imperial army are not casual. If you find out, it will be a great achievement. After all, the army of the Republic of China appeared in Southeast Asia, and the number of troops is only secondary, and the key is the intention of the Republic of China.

When fetching water, a hungry and thirsty Japanese soldier couldn't hold back, Ruan Zhiming couldn't remind him, and couldn't hurry to the river to get water, but was dragged into the water by the crocodile in the river, the crocodile bit the soldier's arm and tossed in the water, the soldier screamed in horror in the water, blood spilled into the river, and several crocodiles nearby also dived in. No matter how superb the Japanese shooting is, there is no way to shoot accurately when the crocodiles and soldiers are churning in the water. Instead, the Heavy swept away two crocodiles in the vicinity. One big and one small, the big one has a length of six or seven meters, and the small one has more than one meter.

But at this time, no one dared to go into the water to save their colleagues. In the Japanese army, the probability of small compatriots appearing in a unit is very high, especially in the large-scale expansion of the army in recent years. There are more and more Japanese in the army, and the people standing on the shore are all familiar to them since childhood, but they can only watch their old days, their comrades-in-arms screaming in the water, and panic. Many people took aim with their rifles, but they were unable to shoot for a long time.

Finally, after the Japanese soldier had one of his arms torn off by a crocodile, a soldier found an opportunity and shot the crocodile in the head. But the wounded crocodile bit off the soldier's thigh again, and the crimson blood gushed in the river. In this case, even if the comrades-in-arms were rescued, it would not be a problem, the injuries were so serious, and the blood loss was so much, it was impossible to survive back to the camp for rescue. Even if you can save it, if you lose your hands and feet, there is no difference between you and a wasted person, rather than this, it is better to die directly. It's just that if you die on the battlefield, it's a glorious way to die. But dying at the hands of such an animal inevitably makes everyone feel worthless.

At this time, many soldiers had been bitten by mosquitoes in the jungle, and their faces were packed, and these soldiers were scratching the itchy places unbearably. On the road just now, if it weren't for Ruan Zhiming's reminder, I'm afraid that at least three people would have been attacked by poisonous snakes, and if it weren't for Ruan Zhiming's reminder, there might have been more than one soldier who was dragged into the water by a crocodile. The surviving Japanese soldiers couldn't help but look at each other. In this hot and humid jungle, it is really full of murderous opportunities, and even the shadow of the enemy army has not been caught, and he has suffered several crises himself, and those mosquitoes, although not deadly, affect the morale of these people all the time.

"How far is it?" After killing and wounding a soldier, Nakamura Buzo became a little impatient with Nguyen's tone.

"It's ahead, not far, not far." Ruan Zhiming hurriedly said.

"I just came to Vietnam, and I didn't talk about it, I just wanted to pull our tails, I really don't know how thick the sky is!" From a tree trunk that had fallen on both sides of the creek, the Japanese army followed Nguyen Chi Minh across the river. However, these Japanese soldiers did not know that these hunters, who were supposed to come to search for prey, had quietly become a group of prey at this time.

"Guoba, you go and inform the people in the detachment, let's come to a hunt." Tu Hong, whose face was painted with camouflage color, said with a cruel smile.

"Vice, what about you?" The soldier called the pot asked.

"I'm going to decorate the Japanese army's single-plank bridge, and you'll see a bunch of prey in a while, the despair you feel when your only hope is destroyed, damn it, I've been idle in this damn place for so long, and I thought I was beaten into the cold palace by the pervert of the chief instructor, it turns out that there is really a big war in the south, and I finally caught a group of prey, so I have to have a good time with them." Tu Hong whispered, and without waiting for the pot to reply, he got up, like a lone wolf in the jungle, quietly and quickly disappeared into the shadows of the trees and the jungle with staggered light.

In fact, when the Japanese army arrived here, it was indeed not far from the base of Tu Hong's squad.

Nakamura Buzo also found signs of human activity in some traces in the jungle, and like the other soldiers, his spirits began to become high. It was only with the sound of a gunshot that this excitement quickly turned into nervousness and panic.

Bang!

"Ruan Zhijun! Nguyen Zhijun! Soon, the Japanese army gave up this fearless approach, and the bullet hole in Ruan Zhiminh's head, the blood and brain mixture that came out of it, clearly told all the Japanese soldiers that unless it was the reincarnation of the gods, no one could save this leader. Without this local guide, there is really no way to predict what will happen later, Nakamurabu has a bad premonition in his heart, and they are being targeted by the enemy. Rather, it is an extremely difficult group of enemies.

In fact, as Nakamura Buzo expected, at this time, Zhang Chunfang was leading his subordinates to approach the Japanese army in a relatively scattered formation.

Bang!

Another gunshot rang out, and a Japanese soldier fell in response.

"Not good, it's an enemy sniper!" Two shots in a row, both of them hit the vital point, without a trace of superfluous tricks, and until now, they have not been able to find the other party's hiding place, the jungle is full of tree shadows, and echoes are still ringing in many places, even people with excellent eyesight are extremely difficult to judge the location of the enemy in a short time.

Nakamura Buzo and other Japanese troops were shocked, whether it was for the Northwest Army or the Japanese army, snipers were elite in any unit, originally he thought that even if there were enemy troops, the scouts who came to fight the outpost were powerful, but they had a lot of people in a squadron, but he didn't expect to encounter the most tricky snipers. Thinking of this, Nakamura Buzang's heart sank, why didn't Ruan Zhiming's bastard make it clear, if this guy hadn't been shot by the other party, Nakamura Buzang would have thrown a few big-eared melon seeds over.

"A team of three, search from three directions, machine gunners, grenadiers in the back, and when the enemy is found, immediately suppress it with fire!" Soon, Nakamura Buzo made arrangements.

"Bang!"

The piercing sound of gunfire in the jungle was like a summons from death, testing the tense nerves of these Japanese soldiers over and over again. Soon, these Japanese soldiers discovered the brutal fact that there was not more than one sniper on the other side. And in this hot and humid jungle, the other party is like a ghost in the jungle, and the traces are difficult to catch.

Nakamura has a certain understanding of snipers, and the other party is good at hiding, and in this kind of jungle, it is simply like a tiger. The Japanese army's large-scale sniper units started several years later than the Northwest Army, and at this time in North China and Shanxi were somewhat insufficient. In the south, Chiang's Central Army has never encountered a decent opponent, who would have thought that such a remote place as Vietnam, except for some Vichy French colonial troops, would encounter such a difficult opponent in a place where the villagers were just backward.

"Over there, quick, catch up, we must not let these despicable enemies escape." Soon, a squad leader captured a general direction through the sound of the other party's shooting. Screaming and rushing forward.

"Ahh A Japanese soldier ran too fast and didn't notice a colorful snake under his feet, and stepped on the snake's tail, and the colored snake jumped up to give the Japanese soldier a mouthful. In this hellish place, the Japanese soldiers were not willing to wear leggings at all, the weather was too hot, and the leggings were easily wet with sweat, and it was particularly uncomfortable to wrap around the legs. So the snake easily bit through the skin of the Japanese soldiers.

The Japanese soldiers angrily cut the poisonous snake into several pieces with bayonets. At first, I didn't think there was much of a problem, so I roughly tore a cloth strap to tie it a little above the wound, and then squeezed some poisonous blood, and joined the pursuit team with great courage.

"Boom!" The Japanese soldiers, who were running too fast, did not notice at all that they were stepping on something different under the dead branches and leaves. A mine killed four or five Japanese soldiers in all directions.

"Yaga!" Nakamurabu has a lot of fire in his heart, and he has never been so aggrieved after fighting for so long.

"Stop, retreat!" Realizing that the situation was not good, Nakamura Buzo quickly made a decision.

"Your Excellency Nakamura, Koike-kun is no longer good." Soon, when the soldier who had been bitten by the snake before was carried to Nakamurabe's hideout, his face was already dark and his face was convulsed.

"Carry it back!" Nakamura Buzo's face was ugly, but at this time he didn't have the time to get angry anymore, the treacherous living environment in the jungle, and the difficulty of the enemy, had exceeded his expectations, and the previous guide Ruan Zhiming had also died, and they couldn't figure out the direction in the jungle at all, if it weren't for the fact that more than two hundred people had left certain traces in the places where they came, I was afraid that they wouldn't even be able to find their way back.
