In the southwest of the Heili River forest area, groups of Japanese soldiers climbed the rocks under their feet, and their military leather shoes stepped on the dead branches and rotten leaves, brushing and brushing, and some even made a crisp sound.

"Hey, I've stepped on that kind of bug again." One of the Japanese soldiers had goosebumps all over his body and shook his head, if he could, he simply did not want to fight in such a mountain.

"I stepped on it too." A Japanese soldier in front of him also spoke, feeling that his luck was very bad, and he originally thought that it should be easy to come out to suppress the soldiers of the independent division this time, but yesterday he went around from the east of the Heili River to the southwest, and then went up the mountain from the southwest and stepped into this deep mountain and old forest.

Although it was better than the other division, there were no explosions, but they encountered poisonous snakes and bugs.

At this time, although there are few snakes, they are not absent.

And it seems that because of the west, this side is colder, and there are a lot of bugs.

"Your Excellency the division commander, the road here doesn't seem to be too easy to walk."

"I found out." Shirata nodded, "But there is no way, Kimura and they have attracted the attention and attention of the independent division from the front, then, we must take this opportunity to approach from the back!" Take the independent division Zhou Weiguo! We're going to do a great job! ”

"That's what I said, but ......"

"But what?"

"But can we really catch Zhou Weiguo? In fact, we don't know if Zhou Weiguo is there, do we? Everything is a guess on the part of His Excellency the Commander! Although he guessed the plan of the independent division correctly, Zhou Weiguo would not necessarily implement it in person, and if it were me, I would definitely not implement it in person. ”

"Yaga!" Chengtian scolded secretly, and just wanted to say something, but suddenly, he heard the explosion, and his brows furrowed, "Listen to this voice, it should be a thunderstorm, it seems that the independent division still found us." ”

"Hey!"

"Let's go, let's go ahead and have a look." Chengtian walked forward, and the dead branches and rotten leaves under his feet made him frightened.

A few minutes later, they appeared at the front of the line, with two fighters dripping with blood from their lower limbs.

Shirota frowned, "What about the medics?" ”

"Hey, I've already called it."

Shirata was in a heavy mood, which showed that in the future, they would also encounter the situation of the Kimura Division, perhaps, there would be a lot of sacrifices, but they had no way to stop.

"Sappers come forward to clear mines, and combat units follow."

"Hey!"

After giving such an order, Shirata knew that his marching speed would become very slow, but there was no way, if he did not clear mines, he would move forward, the losses would be too great, and who knows how many mines the independent division would put in front? Moreover, he did not know if there would be such a large explosive bag in front of him. At least, by the time he set out, Kimura's division had already encountered it twice, and each time, it lost nearly a thousand people.

He didn't dare to follow in Kimura's footsteps.

After a while, the medics came up, treated the wounds, and then spoke, "Your Excellency the division commander, their situation must be transported to the rear for recuperation, otherwise it will ......"

"Let's get it down." Shirota nodded, in the real battle, the way they deal with the wounded, usually, is shot. Because a wounded soldier will occupy countless resources.

But now, after all, is not the time to really fight.

Everyone was looking at him.

If he solves it like that, it will only be chilling.

Watching the sappers carefully solve the nearby mines, he could only wait. In such an old forest, there are dead branches and rotten leaves everywhere, who knows if there are grenades underneath?

"Your Excellency, Division Commander?"

"Wait."

"Hey!"

……

Night has finally fallen.

The moonlight was blocked by the trees that reached into the sky, making it even darker.

Both the Kimura Division and the Shirata Division stopped advancing.

Because of the interference of the independent division, in a whole day, they advanced only two kilometers.

And in the woods, the bonfires that slowly rose also gave the Japanese soldiers a sense of security.

At least, if the fire is lit, there are many of them, so they don't have to be too afraid of some fierce beasts or something.

"Your Excellency Division Commander, at this rate, the independent division is really going to flee a long time ago."

"Yaga, of course I do." Chengtian frowned, "However, the independent division has set traps all the way, what can you do?" ”

The Japanese major general who spoke was also silent, yes, what could he do? "Actually, Your Excellency the Division Commander, I have an idea, don't have to work so hard."

"What's the solution?"

"Set fires, burn forests."

"Nani, you say it again."

"Set fire, burn the forest!"

"Tell me why!" Chengtian said solemnly, "You know, such a forest is not easy to burn. ”

"Hey! Your Excellency the Division Commander, whether it is our division or the Kimura Division, there are more or less casualties when pursuing the independent division, today our luck is good, there are no major explosions, but who knows, tomorrow there will be no casualties? The Japanese major general frowned, "So, why don't we withdraw from this forest and ask for the support of the Air Force incendiary bombs!" I don't believe that the independent division will not come out! ”

Shirota was silent for a while, his chief of staff was right, if this is the case, it is indeed possible to force out the independent division, once the troops of the independent division come out of the forest, naturally, it is the end of the independent division, as long as they set up a machine gun blockade outside the forest, then they can do this almost without paying too much price.

"But this forest won't burn so well, as I said. How many incendiary bombs will be needed to set fire to these tens of thousands of hectares of woods, have you calculated? ”

"And, are you sure we won't injure ourselves?"

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, compared with the results, I think that as long as we are careful, we will not be affected."

Shirata frowned, this plan sounds perfect, but what about the price? Will the cost of burning these tens of thousands of hectares of forests directly be too great? "The empire lacks resources, you know, such a forest ......"

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, this is the land of the Chinese people! We can sabotage first! But after that, we'll definitely protect it again, won't we? As long as this land truly becomes our land! ”

"That's it!" Shirota couldn't think of a reason to refute it, "Send a telegram and Your Excellency the Commander suggests that you take a look." ”

"Hey!"

Seeing the excited look of his chief of staff, Shirota didn't know whether it was right or wrong. He is still in awe of nature, such a forest, and he doesn't know what creatures will be in it, and he always feels that this plan is too risky.

……

"You're all full, aren't you?" Zhou Weiguo looked at the soldiers around him, as well as Liu Zhihui.

"Yes!"

"Okay, come to me to get supplies, good news, at night, prepare to overturn the devil!"

"Yes!"

Zhou Weiguo began distributing supplies, mainly grenades and explosives packs.

In terms of bullets, they have not lost anything, but the grenades have been lost a lot, after all, the arranged mines and other things need to be consumed. ()
