Chapter Seventy-Eight: Side Dishes
This skirmish came and ended quickly, and it was relatively easy to hide yourself on a night when it was raining lightly. In the case of a strong enemy ring feeding, the first exposure means that you will be attacked first, and you will often lose your life first.
The Wolves lurked again, creating the illusion that their enemies were no longer a few people, but a whole jungle. Eating a trench grows a wisdom, and the heroes have also learned to be obedient, and they lie on their stomachs, or even stand quietly under a certain tree, and dare not act rashly anymore.
The sudden burst of gunfire alarmed the French in the village, and after discussing with Ivan and Saqimon, Saqimon finally persuaded the other two to step forward and act as front-line commanders. He commanded the unsettled French officers and soldiers to strengthen the defenses, and for peace of mind, he also carried out three mortars. When the French were actively preparing for war, Xiang Shaoyun was not idle, he used the whistle to tell the wolf teeth and the unity brigade that were lurking: The battle has begun, prepare to fight!
Shinichiro Shimada's large army was only about two kilometers away, and they got out of the car and walked five kilometers away, when they heard the gunshots, Shimada shouted softly, and everyone stopped when they boarded. Calling Kurasaka Makoto and several squad leaders to his side, Shimada said in a deep voice: "It seems that Morita and they have been discovered, and since the enemy has noticed it, then it will be better to attack it next." It's only about a hundred wolf fangs, and it's not enough to stop us! Kurasaka, you take four or five squads to the left; Matsuo, you take six or seven squads to the right. Your task is to secure the flanks of the troops in the direction of the main attack, and remember to maintain an equal pace of advance and not to obsessed with fighting with the Chinese people. Masuda, you command the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd squads as the main force to launch a frontal attack from the main road! Team Eight follow me! ”
"Hello!" The captains of the devil squad responded in a low and powerful manner, and many of them put on a posture of eagerness to try.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the biggest military operation since the founding of our majestic spirit - 'defeat the wolf's teeth', today, this is no longer a slogan, but a real action! Whether Xiongfeng can become famous in a battle, and whether he can make the enemy frightened from now on, the key is in this battle! Ladies and gentlemen, for the sake of His Majesty the Emperor and the prosperity of the Imperial Empire, come on! Shimada said, holding out his right hand.
The others put their right hands on them, and then said in unison, "Come on!" ”
Whether it's Koizumi Tonichiro or Mano Haruichiro, since the official formation of Xiongfeng, he has been looking forward to fighting with the wolf's tooth all the time to establish the prestige of Xiongfeng in one fell swoop. Shimada was deeply influenced by them, and for this reason, he was not only fearless about this head-on collision with the wolf's fang, but also full of anticipation.
Guo Kui also attaches great importance to this confrontation with Xiongfeng, so he will come to command in person. He brought the most elite wolf fangs, and wanted to take a good look at the catties of the devil's special forces, but he was a little disappointed.
The Heroes may be the most elite of the Japanese army, but because they have not fully understood the meaning of special operations, their so-called ideal of defeating the wolf's teeth can only be called an ideal so far.
For the tragedy of the special operation, the devil soldiers obviously do not have a deep understanding.
Four squads, a total of nearly 120 strong winds, penetrated into the rainforest under the night rain. Their combat posture is decent, but because they have never experienced similar actual combat, in the eyes of the wolf fangs, this is not a contest of equal strength.
The harsh environment has undoubtedly magnified the gap between the two sides. For the wolffangs, who are accustomed to staying in the corner of a certain dung pit for three or five days, such a combat environment is not bad. And for the heroic wind who is talking about embarking on the journey of special forces, reaching out and not seeing the five fingers is already a difficult obstacle for them to overcome.
There are friends from afar, and they are happy; Jackals come from afar, so let's start with an hors d'oeuvre—the first thing the wolf fangs use to greet the majesty is the ubiquitous and varied traps.
The wolf fangs were not able to make large traps, but they prepared a lot of them, such as small traps, thunder made of bullets, or collision bows made of wild vines and sharpened trees for arrows. These tricks alone don't seem to be enough to kill the devils, but they are enough to create panic in their hearts, and if they are supplemented by a landmine, they can immediately bring a great sense of crisis to the devils, and even make them feel that they are struggling.
For Masaya Kurasaka and his men, Yumazhen's attack and killing of fourteen students was their first battle. Although the operation failed to obtain the information they wanted, because it was not difficult to succeed, Kurasaka Seiya and others once had a fluttering feeling, thinking that the so-called most powerful enemy of the Imperial Army, the Xuebing Army, was actually vulnerable at all, and the reason why the Xuebing Army repeatedly made miraculous achievements and was shaped into the strongest enemy of the Imperial Army was because the army was too weak.
"The strength of the enemy is only relative to those weak troops, if the army is as strong as our Marine Corps, how can the cadet army be stronger?" After meeting Yota Kobayashi in Hanoi, Kurasaka explained why they had so easily attacked and killed fourteen students in Yuma. In the telegram sent to Haruichiro Mano, he even used "but that's it" to describe the Cadet Army, which can be regarded as misleading Mano into a cognitive misunderstanding.
"Huh?! My feet—"
"Eight grids, how can there be a hunter's trap here?"
"Phew!" "Ahh I got shot—"
"Shhhh
…… Advancing forward only about 300 meters, there were screams of the heroes one after another in front, and after 400 meters, there were more than a dozen lightly injured people in the team, and Makoto Kurasaka also felt that something was wrong.
"Pay attention to vigilance, don't make a sound, and hold back the pain! If there are enemies hiding nearby, you will die! Walking up to a man who had been hit in the left knee by a bullet and was incapacitated, Kurasaka shouted in a low voice.
A dozen wounded soldiers, under the cover of three soldiers, withdrew out of the jungle.
Fifty meters further, suddenly there was a terrible cry in front of him, and a male wind stepped on the mechanism and was pierced in the stomach by a sharpened branch. Kurasaka rushed over, followed the miserable cry of the injured Xiongfeng, reached out and touched it, and found out the murder weapon and the injury of the injured Xiongfeng, knowing that this guy couldn't live, and couldn't help but chill. Looking up, he suddenly felt like he was being watched by many pairs of eyes, his scalp was numb for a while, he thought for a while and said, "Don't mess up, tighten the formation a little, the front one, cut a branch to explore the way!" Finally thinking of a countermeasure, he was whispering to the person in front of him, when suddenly a gunshot rang out, he shook in fright, and quickly lay on the ground.
"Squadron Leader, I was shot," his guard, Kazuichi Yamauchi, groaned.
"Eight grids, this can be done too!" Kurasaka was stunned and couldn't help but feel cold in his hands and feet, knowing that it was his voice just now that pointed the way for the wolf fangs lurking nearby. He suddenly thought of something, and was about to alert the people in front of him to stop the sound, when about fifty meters away from him, suddenly a fire lit up, and then the sound of gunfire and explosions rang out almost simultaneously.
