Chapter 269: Dangerous Mountains and Forests

"Tell the 58th Division that the devils are less than ten miles away from us, and maybe there will be artillery bombardment soon. Ask them to pay attention to the anti-artillery. ”

In fact, the bunkers of the paratrooper school are very strong, not only the trenches are solid, but even the middle and upper parts of the trenches are all covered, and the top of the cover is covered with a layer of logs, a layer of sandbags stacked on top of several layers, and the top is also covered with turf.

It is basically impossible to think clearly at a glance, unless an infantry attack is launched immediately.

The Japanese Sixth Division was worthy of being the vanguard of the invasion of China, and after the Battle of Songhu, the Japanese cabinet had great concerns about expanding the war against China. Therefore, the Japanese General Staff stipulated that the line from Suzhou to Jiaxing was a restricted line (i.e., the Sujia line), which the Japanese army was not allowed to cross.

In this way, Jinling City was also drawn outside the battle line.

However, the commanders of the 10th Army, Yanagawa Heisuke and Tani Shoufu, were determined to break free from the "reins" after conspiring, and this group of madmen pursued Jinling alone and reached Huzhou with the staff headquarters on their backs, making the Sujia line a void.

From this point of view, Yanagawa Heisuke and Taniya Toshio were good tactical commanders, but they were much less strategic.

Although Gu Shoufu was harassed by the detective team on the way to the army, the entire Sixth Army still arrived at the battlefield of Niushou Mountain as scheduled, and immediately launched an artillery team to launch a tentative attack on Niushou Mountain.

Probably the attack on the road made Gu Shoufu feel that this battle was not easy, so he only sent a brigade when he tried to attack.

As soon as the soldiers stepped into the not dense woods in the south of the Yangtze River, some veterans had already spoken to their new soldiers.

"Don't go ...... mountain road"

That's what almost all veterans tell their recruits, because that's undoubtedly the most likely scenario to step on a mine. In addition to this, pay attention to......

The recruits, under the advice of the veterans, bent over and stretched out their steps carefully. When it slowly falls, you should also carefully feel whether there is a tripstring of a mine or some kind of pressure device in the grass.

There is nothing disturbing about it, the quiet of the woods in winter, and the fact that so many people go up the mountain has already scared away the birds.

Led by the veteran, a large group of Japanese soldiers pulled out of the straggler line and slowly approached the hill.

"Ahh

The silence suddenly crumbled like fragile porcelain, and a loud and sharp scream almost pierced a person's eardrum.

"Stop, stop, don't move......"

Almost all of them stopped at the same moment, looking at the mountains and forests south of the Yangtze River with some nervousness.

"Watch your step, pass down ......"

A distant voice came, and the soldiers glanced at each other and complained frantically with their eyes,

Everyone knows to be careful with your feet, but who knows what to be careful with your feet.

"Watch your step, pass down ......"

The veteran craned his neck and shouted, but immediately squatted down in the grass. It could be heard from his nervous breathing that the veteran was very nervous.

The newly replenished soldiers did not understand why the veterans reacted so much to the battle in front of them, this was just an ordinary mountain.

You must know that against the front of the Chinese army, there is enough firepower, and there is also a tragic charge, but I have never seen the veteran so nervous. But this should not be the time to ask him, and if he breaks this deathly silence, he will definitely be slapped by the veteran.

The veteran's hand waved silently, and then he slowly walked forward.

There was a pause at each step, but instead of straight ahead, he moved closer to a few bamboos.

Under the astonished gaze of the recruits, the veteran drew his bayonet and cut off one of the longest bamboos, about the thickness of a grenade, about four meters long.

Then slowly crouch on the ground and throw the bamboo as far forward as possible.

The moment he threw out the bamboo pole, he suddenly held his head with his arms and lay motionless on the ground. The recruits, who were startled by him, also fell to the ground, hugging their heads in steel helmets one by one.

However, there was no expected explosion, and the roar of the officers in the army was heard nearby.

"Forward...... Hurry up...... Don't grind ......"

The veteran who was urged to get up muttered,

"Grinding, you can't be too careful in the face of the Four Elements Demon King, a bastard who doesn't understand anything."

Although he had to move forward with the recruits at the call of the officer, he continued to make slow and careful progress. And he will always throw bamboo poles to explore the way, and never step out of the grass that the bamboo poles have explored.

"See, that's the masterpiece of the Four Elements Demon King, and anything will become his weapon on the battlefield."

The recruits followed the veteran's finger and saw what looked like a bamboo tube closed. It looks simple, but the fang-like bamboo nails that pierce the bamboo pipe when closed still make the recruits' scalps tingle.

"The person who screamed just now must have suffered from this thing, be careful...... Be careful, you can't be too careful in the face of the Four Elements Demon King......"

The recruits began to admire the cautious veteran in their hearts, but some people still thought that he must have been scared by the "Four Elements Demon King". But he was a soldier of the Sixth Division, why would he be afraid of the legendary "Four Elements Demon King".

In fact, the Sixth Division and the Shigeto Brigade stationed in Wanwan are both in Kyushu. Therefore, many soldiers of the Sixth Division heard from their fellow villagers about the horror of the "Four Elements Demon King".

"Follow in my footsteps, it's not safe where I haven't stepped ......"

"It's not safe where you haven't stepped on it......"

Some bold recruits disagreed, and their mouths vividly learned the voice of the veteran, which immediately caused a burst of laughter among the young people who were also recruits nearby.

However, the veteran who pressed the road in front of him did not simply rush over and slap him twice as usual. This is on the battlefield and will weed out all those who lose their vigilance.

The soldier who had just spoken was not paying attention when he was stepping, and immediately deviated from the footsteps of the person in front of him.

"Peng"

A small explosion came from underfoot, and then the soles of the suede shoes flipped upwards as if they were folding. The young, freshly disembarking soldier who had not even been in ship for a week, did not immediately feel the pain, he just looked at the forefoot of his instep with a demented expression.

It seemed that after a few seconds he understood that this was not normal, this was absolutely not normal, and no one could do it on the soles of their feet.

Only then did he scream in terror, and the recruits who had come with him were all stunned for a moment, not knowing what to do.

"Squat...... All crouch, bastards, no one is allowed to move......"

In the midst of the shouting, the veteran at the front shouted at the same time to the wounded soldier,

"Stay on your feet and don't hit anything, you know. The man behind him poked out a safe passage with a bayonet. ”

It was not difficult, the soldiers in the back drew their bayonets, squatted on the ground and slowly stabbed on the ground.

But the soldier who was injured on the sole of one foot could no longer hold on, and his intact foot, which kept the "Golden Rooster Independence", could no longer stand steadily, and couldn't help jumping to the side.
