"Bage Yalu, these damn Burmese actually helped the thunder attack on my troops" Looking at the Japanese corpses neatly arranged on the ground, the commander of the 11th Infantry Wing belonging to the 13th Brigade of the 6th Division Okamoto Okamoto gritted his teeth. The black-clothed corpses mixed with the corpses of the Japanese soldiers in a water and yellow military uniform are particularly conspicuous, it is impossible for Okamoto to Baoyuki not to see it, Xiao Qi, who is responsible for cleaning up the battlefield after the break, deliberately left a few corpses of the Burmese guerrillas, just to let the Japanese army know that the Burmese are helping the Thunder Fight, and only by provoking the contradictions between the Japanese army and the Burmese will the hastily formed Burmese guerrilla army really stand on the side of the Thunder.

He believed that the so-called invincible Thunder was just an excuse made by the rice buckets of the Chinese dispatch army for their mistakes, and the Sixth Division was known as the elite of the Japanese army, and the Second Division was called the two sharp swords of the Japanese army. Okamoto didn't believe that Thunder was the opponent of the Sixth Division, but the reality made Okamoto Hoyuki a joke of the Sixth Division, and the Haruta squadron, which served as the forward of the wing, had lost contact with the wing, and the chariot brigade that passed with it had also disappeared, and Okamoto was now confused.

Since yesterday, the 13th Wing that embarked on the journey to Lashio has been attacked on a small scale one after another, although the rat-like attackers can't help the 13th Wing like elephants, but they bite on their bodies more often, even elephants can't stand it, not to mention that the 13th Wing is not a so-called elephant. Okamoto lost at least 200 soldiers in multiple attacks in one day, and if you count the baggage that was destroyed by the fire yesterday, the 13th Wing, which was eager to make a difference, can be said to have suffered heavy losses.

Seeing these corpses in front of him, Okamoto Hoyuki, who had never known who the attacker was, finally had a clue that the Burmese in northern Burma had joined forces with Thunder to resist the attack of the Sixth Division, otherwise how could the chasing army he sent out be completely annihilated. As an officer with superb battlefield experience, Okamoto judged that this must be the result of the so-called elite troops sent by Thunder, and those Burmese who can only use machetes are at most the goods of beating side drums.

"Da Da" There was another burst of gunfire that was different from that of Japanese firearms, and the panting herald ran over from the rear line. "Osa, the rear team has been attacked again, the Ogasawara squadron in charge of the rear guard has suffered 12 casualties, the attacker has already run away, Ogasawara Shaosa asked for instructions on whether to pursue?" After two days of non-stop raids, the soldiers of the 13th Wing were terrified, and once gunfire broke out in the queue, the first reaction of both officers and soldiers in the 13th Wing was to seek cover and lie down to take refuge.

"Yaga, go back and tell Ogasawara that our mission is to rush to Lashio to establish a defensive line, order the troops to speed up, and leave those sneaky attackers alone" Okamoto was in a terrible mood, but his 13th Wing had only been away from Mandalay for more than a day, and it was still far from Lashio. If the attackers who were hiding in the shadows had been so endlessly pestering, by the time the 13th Wing arrived in Lashio, Okamoto estimated that he would have lost at least 500 to 700 soldiers.

Before the back of the "boom" and "boom" herald had not disappeared from Okamoto Hoyuki's sight, two more explosions sounded from the rear team, and veterans with battlefield experience could hear the explosion of a grenade fired from a Japanese 50-mm grenadier. Okamoto could tell that it was a Japanese 50mm grenadier, "Order the Ogasawara squadron to search for suspicious locations within 400 meters on both sides of the road, and be sure to find those damn sneak attackers" The range of the Japanese 50mm grenadier is between 50 meters and 350 meters, and based on the current terrain of the 13th Wing, Okamoto judged that the attackers using the grenadiers should be within 400 meters on both sides of the road.

After receiving the order to make a sortie to search, the Ogasawara squadron, which had been holding back the fire for a long time, divided into two teams according to Okamoto Hoyuki's request, and began to search for possible hiding places along the grassy slopes on both sides of the road. Sure enough, when the Shimizu team of the Ogasawara squadron searched a slope on the left side of the road, several gunfire suddenly burst out of the grass and rushed towards the soldiers of the Shimizu team. "Boom" "Boom" Several grenades exploded, and taking advantage of the cover of smoke, the attackers who were forced out of the grassy slope by the Shimizu team began to retreat towards the mountain.

"Inform the Shimizu team to be careful of the enemy's ambush, it's best to use a grenadier to knock them down for me" The corpse that had just been brought back by the search team reminded Okamoto Hoyuki, isn't it because the Inoue team is in ambush because of the pursuit of the enemy, maybe the attacker's active retreat is a trap set by them, the purpose is to use the same means to lure the Shimizu team chasing them in the tail. Receiving a reminder from Okamoto Hoyuki, the Ogasawara squadron, which was already furious, immediately adjusted its pursuit tactics and began to bombard the retreat routes of the attackers with grenadiers.

"Boom" "Boom" "Boom" Just when everyone was looking at the hillside, an explosion sounded again in the queue of the 13th Wing, but the scale of the explosion this time was obviously much stronger than the explosion just now, and the few smoke balls rising up were a good proof of the power of the explosion. When Okamoto and his guards arrived at the site of the explosion, the officers had already controlled the situation, but the wounded who were affected by the explosion had not been carried away in time, and the screams and bloody scenes of the wounded were quite shocking to watch.

"It was a thunderous rocket, the first three shots landed in the Shuyuan squadron, and the last two hit a carriage pulling heavy machine gun bullets, and more than 20 people were killed and wounded in the Shuyuan squadron, and more than two-thirds of the Hexia squad near the carriage were killed or wounded" Okamoto's adjutant whispered casualties in his ear, and more than 60 casualties in the 13th Wing were caused in one attack, which made Okamoto Yasuyuki mad on the spot.

"Order the Ogasawara squadron to catch the damned attackers, and I'm going to cut off their heads with my own hands to honor the warriors of the empire," Okamoto Hoshi, who had lost his mind, ordered the Ogasawara squadron to continue chasing the attackers with the goods, but he completely forgot that it was not the attackers who had fled up the mountain who attacked them with rockets. "Boom" "Boom" seemed to be deliberately trying to slap Okamoto in the face, and before the order he had just given was delivered to the Ogasawara squadron, a familiar and maddening explosion sounded on the road again, and two clouds of smoke rose up, as if mocking Okamoto Hoyuki's incompetence.

"Eight grid tooth road, eight grid tooth road" Okamoto Yasuyuki couldn't find the elusive attacker, so he had to pull out his command knife and take the thatch on the side of the road to vent his anger, and a good piece of thatch was cut into a scar by him. If the thatch in front of him was the head of the attacker, Okamoto Yasuyuki would have eliminated at least hundreds of attackers with his kung fu, and perhaps the furious Okamoto Hoyuki would have taken these thatch as the attackers.

"Da Da" "Da Da" "Bang" "Boom" On the top of the hill that Ogasawara pursued, a dense burst of gunfire and explosions suddenly sounded, and the Japanese troops lying under the roadbed raised their guns one after another, and Okamoto Hoyuki was also surrounded by his own guards in a depression. The fierce gunfire on the top of the mountain only lasted for a short time before stopping, but the figure of the Ogasawara squadron that Okamoto Hoyuki was looking forward to did not appear for a long time, and after about ten minutes, the Ogasawara squadron, which had lost more than half of its personnel, showed its figure on the top of the mountain, and a dozen Burmese dressed in black clothes were tied up behind their backs with the Ogasawara squadron descending the mountain.

"Report to Osa, we have caught some Burmese who just participated in the attack on us, and they claim to be Burmese guerrillas" The commander of Ogasawara's squadron, Shaosa Kazuo, Ogasawara Hanao, motioned for his soldiers to bring those Burmese to Okamoto Hoyuki. The connection was attacked, and only his squadron caught the attacker, although he was run away by those strangely dressed guys, but compared to the Inoue squad that was wiped out, he still had a gain, didn't he?

"Say, who are you doing?" Okamoto pushed away the guards guarding him, and stood in front of the Burmese captives with his command knife, although his tone was calm, the killing intent in his eyes was unmistakable. "If you tell the truth, you will be released, and those who tell lies will be beheaded, say it quickly" The Burmese translator under Okamoto Baoyuki translated the original words to those Burmese people word for word, Okamoto Baoyuki's original intention of kneeling and begging for mercy did not appear, and the dozen or so Burmese people who were tied up behind the back were all looking like they were not afraid of death, and a Burmese boy who looked only ten years old scolded Okamoto Baozhi in Burmese.

Annoyed and angry, Okamoto Hoyuki picked up the commander and cut off several heads in a row, but he did not make the remaining Burmese give in and confess, and in desperation, Okamoto had to order the remaining Burmese to be beheaded to commemorate the Japanese soldiers who died in the attack. The Burmese, who had always been timid, showed a look of not being afraid of death, which reminded Okamoto of the soldiers who were captured by the Sixth Division on the battlefield in China.

"Immediately send a report to the division that the 13th Wing has been attacked by the Burmese in succession, and it is suspected that Thunder has reached an agreement with the Burmese to unite to block the movement of the imperial army north. The captured Burmese claimed to be the Burmese guerrillas, and most of the weapons they were equipped with were imperial-standard firearms, the specific number of whom was unknown, and the commander was unknown.
