Chapter 373: The family is exhausted

The ambitious Iida Shojiro looked straight ahead with his eyes and said leisurely: "As long as this nail is removed, the Imperial Army can use Rangoon as a throat to build a modern and advanced port and occupy all important nodes along the coast, which will be very helpful to our Imperial Army's Greater East Asia Theater Plan, I really can't wait to know what kind of expression the enemy has when he sees us appear in front of them?" Hahaha~~~"

As he spoke, Iida seemed to have seen victory beckoning to him, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Toshiro slandered in his heart, but he still had to flatter the chief.

"Sir, there is the Pew River in front, after that, you can reach the Yunnan-Burma Highway for about half an hour, our scouts have already reconnoitred, from here to the Pew River all the way unimpeded, there are no enemies, but the earth traps have found a few, they should have been set up by local villagers, and they have been dismantled by us."

"Dirt traps? Those backward barbarians, do they want to fight our aircraft artillery with spears and broadswords? It's ridiculous, order the troops to speed up and advance, Toshiro, get your pen and paper ready, write a declaration of victory for General Ben, hahaha~~~"

Iida said as he clamped his legs between the belly of his horse and took the lead in speeding up his march, but he rode on his horse, and Toshiro behind him was running on two legs, and even if he tried to eat milk, he couldn't catch up with their commander.

"Chief~~~Chief~Ieda~~Wait for us~~ Hurry, everyone follow!"

The Japanese surprise force began to run forward, and the leather boots of thousands of people trampled on the ground, forming a very regular drum beat, which reminded Toshiro of the taiko masters in their village, who would beat the leather drums during the festival, and that rhythm was very similar to the sound of running today.

"Hahaha~~ Stupid Toshiro, hurry up and keep up, I've already crossed the bridge, the road here is narrow, the slopes on both sides are high, it's not suitable for a long stay, everyone is in a hurry to march through~~!"

Not far ahead, Iida slapped his horse's buttocks and ran towards the end of the col where the Dragon Regiment had set up an ambush at a speed of 100 meters, but although the soldiers behind him had increased their speed, they were still pulled farther and farther away by their commander......

On the side hillside, Du Luoming and the monkey glanced at each other, and they couldn't figure out what kind of plane this little devil's commander was doing? Why did a man ride a horse and run past the ambush site first? Did he dump the thousands of people behind him?

"What the fuck is this two hundred and five commanders? Did he think he was galloping on the prairie? Idiot ......"

The monkey sneered and immediately pulled the bolt of the gun, and his action also heralded the start of the ambush between Pugh and Tonggu.

When the Pew River was about to walk north out of the outpost's ambush site, Mu Dezhu and Niu Zhixin also saw the Japanese commander galloping on horseback, and the two of them stared at each other and cursed "idiot" at the same time.

At the rear of the line, the Japanese soldiers walked in orderly steps from the south bank of the Pew River to the north bank, and behind the infantry were their baggage and logistics teams, and on both sides of the line were bicycle and motorcycle motorized teams.

Toshiro couldn't run anymore and sat on the back seat of a bicycle, making the soldier miserable, but equally afraid to have an opinion.

"Whew~ It's much easier this way, knock knock step ~ knock knock step ~ the steps of the warriors are like a taiko drum ~ hmm~ it's such a metaphor."

Sitting on his bicycle, Toshiro took out his diary and began to write on it, his dream was to become a best-selling novel writer in the future, and he had the subject matter in mind, which was called "Toshiro's War Notes".

"Pedal Pedal ~ Knock ~"

Toshiro imagined the scene of the taiko master beating the drum in his mind, and his mouth unconsciously followed the accompaniment, but as he played, suddenly there was a loud noise in the distance, so frightened that his diary fell directly to the ground without holding it steady, and the unlucky guy who was riding the bicycle also fell to the ground with a bang, and the two fell on their backs.

"Boom~!"

"What's wrong? What's going on? Did someone step on the mine? ”

Since there was only one explosion, Toshiro judged that it must have been a mine planted by the enemy.

When he got up from the ground and patted the dirt on his buttocks, he saw that the soldiers around him were all looking horrified, looking ahead with their mouths wide open.

A bad premonition rose in Dongshiro's heart, and he put his hand on the pergola and looked ahead, only to see that Chief Iida, who had just ridden his horse and galloped and was full of ambition, seemed to have stepped on a mine on horseback, and with the explosion just now, he even had his man and horse blown into several pieces, one thigh hung on a tree, and half of his body fell on the belly of the horse that was rotten into a puddle of flesh.

"Long ...... Sir! ”

Toshiro shouted, his head went blank, and at this moment, he seemed to hear someone shouting, shouting a sentence in Chinese, which seemed to be the word "fire".

That's right, it is indeed "open fire", these two words were shouted by Wu Xiaolong himself.

He moved all the movable small cannons in the base and temporarily formed an artillery squad, although there were only about 20 small cannons, but the idiot commander of the other side actually stepped on the mine himself and was blown into several sections, and the threat of the leaderless enemy army would plummet, and if they were bombarded by heavy artillery fire again, they would not be far from retreating.

"Fire! Shoot me in the place where they are most crowded! ”

"Knock knock~~"

"Boom, boom~!"

On the artillery position, one after another shells hung whistles and drew a wonderful parabola in the sky, falling into the crowd of Japanese troops, exploding one blood wave after another.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! There is an ambush~~~ to find cover, disperse and hide! ”

As Iida's deputy, as long as the former dies, Toshiro is the highest-ranking one in this team.

Although he was screaming and directing the soldiers around him, the cannonballs that could fall from the sky instantly silenced his voice.

There was smoke everywhere, fire and stumps everywhere, and the soldiers were lying on the ground wounded by shells, leaving only their mouths open and howling, unable to respond effectively.

However, just after a terrible round of enemy shelling, Toshiro seemed to hear even more terrible sounds.

"Doodoo Dot Dot ~~~"

"What is this sound? Don't...... Could it be the enemy's kind of aircraft with propellers that can go straight up and down? ”

That's right, for this ambush battle, Wu Xiaolong transferred the only few armed helicopters in the base, each helicopter was equipped with two machine gunners and two bombardiers, after a round of shelling, the armed helicopter that took off in advance successfully arrived at the attack point, and for a while the heavy machine gun spit fire, and the bombardier also dropped the bomb from the plane as if he didn't want money, and this round of strikes was more accurate than the shelling just now, and the lethality was stronger.

"Fight back! Shoot back! They don't have many planes, they don't fly at enough altitude, knock them down for me! ”

Toshiro picked up his helmet from a corpse and buckled it to his head, he tried to hide, but found that there were people all around, and the terrain was relatively narrow, so it was impossible to disperse and dodge.

"Stand back! Step back! Retreat south of the Pew River and relaunch the counterattack, the enemy is not as numerous as ours, calm down! ”

Toshiro ordered the team to retreat at the top of his voice, but at this moment, Duloming's team, which had already circled from the ambush site to both sides of the wooden bridge, finally detonated the bomb that had been installed at the bottom of the bridge in advance.

With a "boom", the wooden bridge was broken in two, and Toshiro was shocked when he saw this scene, but before he could give a new order, there were two loud noises near the direction of the wooden bridge, and this time it was a mine, or the kind of mine that could be controlled to explode at any time.

Damn it...... Could it be that the enemy had already calculated that they would pass through here, so they arranged the Shura battlefield in advance, just waiting for them to throw themselves into the net?

Impossible, how is it possible? Their plan was laid out for half a year, and it was only two days ago that the final action time was decided, how could the other party react so quickly?

No one could give Toshiro an answer, because after the armed planes had retreated, shouts of killing could be heard on the high ground on both sides of the Pew River, and the vanguard of the 2nd and 3rd Battalions of the Dragon Regiment had already launched an attack.
