Volume 1: Battle of Songhu Chapter 68: Master of Jungle Warfare

On a high cliff more than 200 meters away, Gao Shenxing was constantly pulling the bolt and reloading the shell, pushing the bullet and then aiming and shooting.

The minefield underneath, as well as this sniper point, were carefully chosen by Gao Shenxing, he hid on the high cliff to overlook the entire minefield, there was no blind spot for shooting, and this high cliff was overgrown with bushes, which provided him with excellent cover, but did not affect his vision at all.

"Soldiers!" Another shot rang out, and another Japanese soldier fell in a pool of blood

"208!" As soon as Gao Shenxing pulled the bolt, a hot bullet case jumped out of the chamber and fell into the grass, Gao Shenxing then loaded the bullet and aimed through the scope at another Japanese soldier, who was very cunning, he kept rolling in the woods, getting up and lying down, trying to get out of the lock.

But in the face of a clever sniper, all this is in vain.

It only took Gao Shenxing two more seconds to shoot him through the neck, and through the scope Gao Shenxing could clearly see the blood blooming from the back of the neck of the Japanese soldier, and then the Japanese soldier fell to the ground, and in a few moments, the flowing blood had already stained the grass under his neck.

Xu 19 hid on the other side of the col, watching from the sidelines and watching Gao Shenxing hunt down the Japanese soldiers who had stepped into the trap one by one, Xu 19 never thought that just two people could ambush an entire Japanese squadron!

Sukegawa Shizuzo lay motionless on the ground, trying to make himself look more like a corpse.

Sukegawa Shizuzo had no doubt that if he dared to move a little, the national army sniper on the opposite side would definitely blow his head out at the first time, but Sukegawa Shizuzo also knew that after the national army sniper hunted and killed the more than 30 imperial soldiers who were stubbornly resisting one by one, he would definitely turn the muzzle of his gun to replenish the wounded imperial soldiers on the minefield.

The Nationalist army on the opposite side would never be merciful to the wounded of the Imperial Army.

What was happening in front of him made Sukegawa Shizuzo feel extremely shocked, before today, he had never thought that the battle could be such a way of fighting, the entire two squads of the imperial army, was beaten by just two Chinese soldiers and had no power to fight back, with the favorable terrain, plus some primitive means, it actually exerted a shocking lethality!

However, Sukegawa Shizuzo is a veteran after all, and after the initial panic and nervousness, the old devil soon found that the terrain here was extremely unfavorable to the Japanese army, this is a valley between two mountains and a valley, and the Japanese army is right in the valley, and the Japanese army must leave this valley as soon as possible if they want to get rid of the fate of being slaughtered by the national army.

As for the wounded who have already been injured, they don't care.

Sukegawa Shizuzo untied two grenades from the corpse of a Japanese soldier next to him, knocked on the fuse and threw it forward, and then jumped up with the smoke and dust generated by the explosion, and shouted at the remaining twenty or so remnants of Zuihou: "Throw grenades, throw grenades, run quickly after throwing grenades, and evacuate here immediately!" ”

More than 20 remnants of the soldiers woke up like a dream, and threw out the grenades one after another, and then evacuated in a hurry under the cover of smoke and dust, but the more than 40 wounded in the valley could not take care of them, so they could only ask Amaterasu to bless them.

A few minutes later, the figures of Xu Shijiu and Gao Shenxing appeared in the valley.

Looking at the corpses of the Japanese soldiers lying all over the valley, Xu Shijiu didn't know what to say, he finally believed Gao Shenxing's words, fighting in the jungle, it is useless to have a lot of people!

Sukegawa Shizuzo returned to the bottom of the mountain with a disgraced face, followed by the dejected remnants of more than 20 soldiers.

Watanabe and another squadron leader, Tanaka, came up, Sukegawa Shizuzo couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into, today this face is lost, Sukegawa Shizuzo doesn't know, when this matter gets out, how the division commander and his colleagues will laugh at him, but in any case, there is no hope for promotion to major general.

Seeing Sukegawa Shizuzo embarrassed like this, Watanabe had expected nothing special, but the other squadron leader Tanaka felt extremely stunned, he learned from Watanabe's mouth that the wing captain had brought two infantry squads into the mountain, but Zuihou only brought back a mere twenty remnants!

What about the more than seventy Imperial soldiers left? They were all killed by the Chinese soldiers?!

Just two Chinese soldiers defeated two imperial army squads and killed more than 70 people?!

"Captain, there shouldn't be a formed branch army in the mountains, right?" Tanaka asked incredulously.

"No, there are only two soldiers in the mountains." Sukegawa Shizuzo shook his head and sighed again, "But these two Zhina soldiers are by no means ordinary Zhina soldiers, they are extremely good at jungle warfare. ”

"Jungle warfare?" General Tanaka was suspicious, "How can the Chinese army know how to fight in the jungle?" ”

Sukegawa Shizuzo didn't explain much, just ordered Watanabe and Tanaka to assign people to guard the various intersections, and then hurriedly went to the division headquarters to ask for reinforcements, anyway, this face has been lost, and there is no hope for promotion, Sukegawa Shizuzo simply gave up this old face, he just wants to be able to breathe out the evil anger in his chest now.

Sukegawa Shizuzo hurriedly arrived at the division headquarters of the L6th Coin Regiment and found that in addition to the division commander Imasago Nakajima, the chief of staff Mitsuo Nakazawa, and the two brigade commanders, there was also a strange officer Nakasa.

The Central China Front Headquarters has just issued an order that the 16th Division will remain in Nanjing as a garrison unit, and Ohara Shigemi is the newly appointed commander of the Nanjing Gendarmerie.

Seeing Sukegawa Shizuzo, Nakajima's face darkened, and he asked, "Sukegawa-san, I heard that the small group of Shina's army has run into the Shogunate Mountain, and they have not been exterminated yet?" ”

"Hello." Sukegawa Shizuzo bowed honestly and replied, "Incompetent

"Then what are you doing at the division headquarters?" Sukegawa Shizuzo's direct superior, the brigade commander of the 30th Infantry Brigade, Sasaki, said angrily, "Why don't you hurry up and gather the army to exterminate that branch of the army?" ”

Sukegawa Jingsan said bitterly: "Brigade commander, there is no way to take this small group of the army. ”

"Nani?" Sasaki was stunned and said, "How many troops does this army have?" ”

Sukegawa Shizuzo flattened his mouth and didn't answer, but Zuihou still replied stubbornly: "Two people." ”

"Yaga." Nakajima Isago was so angry that he slapped Sukegawa Shizuzoichi and scolded, "You are a wing captain, and you have no way to take just two soldiers, and you can't say this!" ”

Sukegawa Jingsan said authentically: "Division commander, these two soldiers are very good at jungle warfare......"

"That's not the reason!" Nakajima said angrily, "No matter how good the soldiers are at jungle warfare, there are only two people after all, and you can't deal with just two soldiers in your entire infantry wing of more than 3,000 imperial warriors?" I see that you obviously don't want to be the captain of this wing anymore, and you have to be transferred to the reserve to be willing. ”

Sukegawa Shizuzo's face collapsed there, speechless.

Ohara Shigemi suddenly said: "Your Excellency, Lieutenant General, there is a saying that I don't know whether to say or not. ”

Nakajima knew that Ohara Shigemi was a top student of Lu University, a member of the famous saber team, and he had studied special operations in Berlin, Germany, and he didn't dare to be too big, so he softened his face a little and said: "What is Ohara-san's high opinion, please just say it." ”

Shigemi Ohara said: "When I was studying at the Berlin Military Academy, I systematically studied jungle warfare, which is a completely different combat method from field wave warfare and urban street warfare. ”

Nakajima said, "So, what are the key factors that determine jungle warfare? ”

"It's people." "In a complex jungle environment, a veteran who is good at jungle warfare can easily take out an entire squadron of the opponent even with his bare hands, of course, provided that the opponent is not good at jungle combat, so I don't think it's surprising that Sukegawa-san will encounter such a situation." ”

Sasaki said suspiciously: "Is jungle warfare really so dangerous?

Ohara Shigemi nodded, and said: "Although the shogunate mountain area is not big, no more than five kilometers long and no more than one kilometer wide, but it is more than enough to hide two soldiers, if the imperial army has fewer troops, it will not be able to deal with them, and if there are more troops, it will inevitably be suspected of fighting mosquitoes and wasting military strength with artillery." ”

Nakajima Imasago rolled his eyes and said, "Ohara-san, since you have studied jungle warfare, why don't you ask the gendarmerie to do it for you and enter the Shogunate Mountain to hunt these two soldiers?" ”

"This ......" Ohara Shigemi only groaned slightly, and then readily agreed, "Of course this is no problem, but the gendarmerie has just been formed, and it is necessary to maintain order in the city and enter the mountains to clear the remnants of the Chinese army, and the strength is really insufficient, I wonder if Your Excellency the lieutenant general can transfer two infantry squadrons to cooperate with the gendarmerie?" ”

After he was transferred to the post of commander of the Nanjing Military Police, the troops under his command still only had more than 300 members of the original special operations brigade, and with only 300 people, he wanted to maintain the post-war order in Nanjing, and he was obviously unable to do so, so he could only borrow troops from the 16th Division.

"That's fine." Nakajima readily agreed, and turned his gaze to Sukegawa Shizuzo.

Sukegawa Shizuzo hurriedly said: "The Tanaka squadron is now at the foot of the Shogunate Mountain, and I will send another infantry squadron from the city to cooperate with the gendarmerie to clear out the remnants of the Shina soldiers in the Shogunate Mountain." ”

"Yo Si." Ohara nodded happily.
