"Hachigaya Road, damn thunder, I'm going to cut off your heads with my own hands" The command knife in Watanabe Masao slashed down diagonally, and a bush growing by the mountain stream was cut in two by the sharp command knife. At this time, the sky was already bright, and the camp of the 56th Division camped by the water was in a mess, and a large number of soldiers were busy collecting the corpses of their comrades. It is only a rough estimate that the 56th Division was killed by the opponent at least more than 1,000 soldiers in the night attack last night, and if the patrol had not discovered the enemy's traces, it is possible that this death toll would have increased exponentially.

"Division commander, more than two-thirds of the Imperial soldiers killed were shot at close range with pistols" Yanagawa Takeshi spread his palm at Masao Watanabe, and in his palm lay quietly a bloodstained pistol bullet. "This is a 9mm caliber pistol bullet, and I look at it as a bullet from the Walter pistol that the German army is now equipping. The intelligence of the special high class shows that Zhao Zhi, the founder of Thunder, has an unusual relationship with the German army, and the millions of Jews in Kunming were brought back from Europe by Zhao Zhi, and it is not surprising that the Germans sent him some pistols."

"No, if they're here to raid the camp at night, why are they fighting us with pistols? What's more, I have asked all the soldiers who participated in the battle, and most of the firepower of the other side is mainly submachine guns, how could they shoot so many of our soldiers with pistols? After listening to Takeshi Yanagawa's analysis, Masao Watanabe had more and more questions in his heart.

"I sent a few scout teams out yesterday to investigate, but I waited until it was dark and only came back two and a half squads, and the wounded soldiers said that the other party used new weapons, and they were already shot if they couldn't hear the gunshots" Yanagawa Takeshi took out a piece of paper and spread it out to Watanabe Masao, "When I was studying in Germany, I once heard a German cadet say something called a silencer, which can be installed on a firearm, which can effectively reduce the sound of a firearm when firing, if the distance is far enough, the person who was shot cannot hear the gunshot, I'm sure the attackers put a silencer on the pistol last night, so the patrol in the camp can't hear the gunshot."

"Damn the Germans, why should we give such an advanced thing to Thunder, if our army of the Great Japanese Empire gets such a thing, I am afraid that the plan to realize the common prosperity of Greater East Asia has already been realized" Turning the paper ball handed over by Takeshi Yanagawa into a paper ball, the annoyed Masao Watanabe hated even Germany. In fact, Masao Watanabe was right to hate the Germans, if the Germans hadn't handed over the Jews in the occupied area to Zhao Zhi for disposal, where did the Thunder get those troops and weapons, it would have been impossible for Zhao Zhi to pull out a force of more than 100,000 people in China.

"Boom", "Boom", "Boom" seemed to prove Yanagawa Takeshi's judgment, and several mortar shells flew from outside the camp, and Masao Watanabe, who had combat experience with the US military in the Philippines, knew that they were American-style mortar shells without looking at them. A Japanese squadron that received the order to attack rushed out of the camp and rushed straight to the mountain forest on the left, the 56th Division was a good hand at mountain warfare, the mountain forest was high, and you could overlook this area from a high point. The "Da Da" spearhead squad conducted fire reconnaissance on the woodland, which was an old trick of the Japanese army, and in the mercenary training camp, the instructors had long talked about the tactics of the Japanese field troops.

"Ready" Yan Jiuzhang, who had been waiting in the forest all night, came to his senses at this time, looking at the Japanese squadron that rushed towards the forest after the firepower ended, Yan Jiuzhang's eyes were not too big, and his arms raised in the air became the most attractive place for his team members. As Yan Jiuzhang judged, after confirming that there was no danger, the Japanese squadron that rushed over had no intention of entering the forest at all, and they just set up mortars with their backs to the forest and set up a highland belt.

"Start" Yan Jiuzhang's arm that had been raised in mid-air fell heavily, and with a sound like a balloon bursting, the sweeper wearing a camouflage net raised a pistol to show his figure. The Japanese squadron is just over 200 people, but Yan Jiuzhang has 600 sweepers under him, this is a battle with unequal strength, but Yan Jiuzhang never cares about this. It's a fool not to take advantage of it, as long as you can kill the little devil and win the battle, your own captain will never give yourself an ugly look.

It's a pity that the Japanese squadron that has just touched the high point and has not yet fired a cannon was killed by the cleaning team under Yan Jiuzhang in this way, not to mention that the pistols of the cleaning team members are equipped with silencers, and not to mention that the team members under Yan Jiuzhang are three times that of the Japanese army, and this surprise attack from behind is not something that the Japanese squadron can stop. "It's really boring, these little devils can't help but fight, I only need to shoot one bullet and have no chance" Yan Jiuzhang, who said that he was bored but had already blossomed in his heart, commanded his men to drag all the corpses and weapons of those Japanese soldiers into the forest, if it were not for the blood splattered on the ground, no one would have thought that he had just experienced a short battle to the extreme.

"Yaga, what are these bastards doing? Why is there no artillery support? "I watched a squadron under my command go up to a high point near the woodland, but it has been several minutes, and the shelling that Watanabe Masao was expecting has not appeared, and Watanabe Masao can't help but curse because of his good temper." Send a team over to see what's going on? Having calmed down, Masao Watanabe sent another force to the high point.

"Nani? How so? The second lieutenant who led the team was a little strange, they had already reached the high point, but no one saw it, and the second lieutenant couldn't help but signal his soldiers to be on guard. The Japanese veterans, who understood the commander's intentions, gestured to their companions around them, and the Japanese squad of more than 60 people broke out in loose formation and carefully searched outside the woodland.

"Second Lieutenant, there's a situation here, come and see" One of the soldiers in the squad noticed an anomaly, it was a puddle of blood in the grass, if it wasn't for his bayonet to cut through the grass, I'm afraid he wouldn't have found the blood. "Be careful" The second lieutenant who rushed to hear the news stretched out his hand and did not touch the blood on the ground, but was thrown into the grass by the military Cao, and dozens of gunfire suddenly flew out of the forest, and the Japanese soldiers standing outside the forest kept shaking their bodies in the dense rain of bullets. They couldn't dodge such a rapid fire at such a close range, not to mention that the other party was still using a burst of submachine guns.

"Poof" and "Poof" were the last two targets of the squad to be shot, and the Japanese second lieutenant and the soldier Cao who were lying on the ground enjoyed the special care of the snipers, and the weeds that could only pass through their feet could not provide cover for them, if the submachine gunner had not fired first, these two goods would have been beaten into rotten persimmons by the snipers. "Let's go, take away the grenades and machine guns on their bodies, and quickly withdraw" The use of submachine guns has already exposed the target, and the sweeping team under the command of Yan Jiuzhang roared and fled into the forest with the captured loot without a trace.

"Catch up with them, kill them all" The Japanese soldiers who rushed out of the camp only had time to see the backs of Yan Jiuzhang and their backs, and after continuously stepping on the treacherous mines laid by the sweepers, hundreds of angry soldiers of the 56th Division followed and chased into the forest. "Boom" "Boom" Two huge fireballs rose from the place where the corpses of the Japanese soldiers were piled up in the woodland, and the Tomosaka rifle bullets that were deliberately tied with explosives by the cleaning team were splashed in all directions, and the dense gunshots like "pop" and "pop" fried beans rang out one after another, and the rifle bullets that were detonated by the explosion swept all objects within a radius of tens of meters, and more than half of the Japanese squad that rushed over to collect the corpses was directly killed, and most of those who survived were wounded and kept screaming and wailing on the ground.

"Japanese little, do you dare to chase me? I'm waiting for you in front to see if you're a man" A piece of paper written in standard Japanese was delivered to Masao Watanabe. Masao Watanabe, who had just been dissuaded by Takeshi Yanagawa and Takao Hashimoto, broke out again, "This is simply a war letter, a war letter specially designed to provoke the 56th Division" Watanabe Masao stomped the piece of paper in his hand under his feet, he was already planning to ask to personally lead the team to encircle and suppress this group of guys who attacked the 56th Division, he had to cut off their heads with his own hands, otherwise he couldn't swallow this evil breath.

"Watanabe-kun, don't forget that our mission is Mandalay, I just received the news that the troop carriers of the 55th Division and the 18th Division have docked in Yangon Port, if we lose this opportunity, the base camp will probably be disappointed with us from now on, Watanabe-kun, you have to think clearly, don't make a wrong judgment because of a small loss" The commander of the 22nd Division, who came in a hurry, Miharu Agito, persuaded him bitterly. Oshiroto Sanji's original intention was to persuade Watanabe Masao to return to the right path, but unfortunately the intersection between these two goods is not very deep, and Watanabe Masao, who is a little stubborn, is the most annoying for others to preach to himself.

"Okay, let's let the 56th Division deal with this matter by ourselves, anyway, it wasn't your 22nd Division that was attacked by the enemy last night, if the base camp wants to hold this matter accountable, I will bear it alone, and I will never affect your 22nd Division" rewarded Oshirodo Sanji, Watanabe Masao, who had long been angry, took a cadre of officers under him and began to assemble troops, preparing to search the mountains to find the attackers hiding in the woods.

"Division commander, what should we do?" Looking at the posture of the 56th Division, I don't want to mix with the 22nd Division, Sasaki asked in a low voice about the division commander Ojoto Sanji, who also didn't look very good.

"What else can I do, go back and gather troops to follow the 56th Division, we are the same group of troops that landed in Burma, we should help each other, no matter whether the 56th Division understands it or not, our 22nd Division still has to lend a helping hand" Oshirodo Sanji's face showed a look of a smile on his face. Last night's attack caused a lot of casualties to the 56th Division, which allowed Miharu Oshiroto, who had been holding fire in his heart, to find some balance and also found an excuse for the defeat of Sasaki's wing.
