374 Poisonous Scheme
"Baga, these damn Americans will be punished sooner or later."
A Japanese officer nearby said angrily.
It was obvious that Ye Qingshan was very dissatisfied with the sale of arms by American arms dealers.
“There’s nothing we can do about it, those Americans only care about money.
They will sell weapons to anyone for money.
We still need to buy oil from the United States and cannot fall out with the United States.
We can only think of ways to cut off the trading channels between them and the Chinese."
“What Qiucun-kun said makes sense.
Therefore, the plan formulated by the headquarters this time to attack the southeastern coast of China was absolutely correct.
I even feel that its significance is no less than taking over Wuhan.
Unfortunately, the troops that the headquarters allocated to us were a little insufficient."
A group of young Japanese officers also started discussing at this time.
"Okay, now is not the time to talk about this.
The mission of our regiment is to open up the passage to Niutou Mountain.
Pass the order and continue marching. "
The commander of the 62nd Regiment, Yasutomi Sawada, interrupted the discussion of his officers and gave an order.
"Hi!"
The Japanese 62nd Regiment continued to march south overnight.
Boom!
As a result, they were attacked again not long after they got far.
Da da da!
On a hill ahead, a Browning M1919A4 heavy machine gun was madly firing at the Japanese vanguard.
Ten minutes later, two Japanese squads surrounded us from the flank.
However, they found that the Kuomintang soldiers who attacked them had already run away.
"Baga, you despicable Chinaman.
This nasty mountain area."
Sawada Yasutomi roared angrily.
He really hates the terrain in southern Zhejiang.
"Stop moving forward, set up camp and rest.
We will continue our journey after daybreak."
To prevent similar attacks from happening again.
The Japs could only suspend their march and wait until daybreak.
Traveling at night would make it easier for Lu Dahai to attack.
“Hey, the devils have stopped their journey.
let's go! "
After seeing the Japanese setting up camp, the soldiers of the two squads of a regiment happily retreated southward.
Originally, they were left behind by Lu Dahai to delay time.
Unexpectedly, the accidental attack not only completed the mission of covering the rear, but also forced the Japs to give up their nighttime journey.
The next day, after resting, the Japanese 62nd Regiment continued to move south.
They also called in air support.
Buzz!
The Japanese air force appeared over Niutou Mountain.
"Baga, where is the Chinese army here?"
As a result, the Japanese pilots searched for a long time but couldn't find the main force of the regiment on the ground.
Lu Dahai had already dispersed his group in company units across a mountainous area of dozens of miles.
It would be strange if the Japanese pilots could find the Tibetans, who numbered only 2,000 people, in such a vast mountainous area.
Helplessly, the Japanese air force could only find a place at random.
After they dropped the bombs they were carrying, they hurried back.
"The devils are coming!"
As soon as the Japanese air force left, news came from the reconnaissance team in the north.
The Japanese 62nd Regiment is coming.
"The Japanese still have one mile to go before they enter the northernmost minefield.
Our mission is to use the minefield here to delay the Japanese for half a day.
After half a day, retreat, don't fight any more."
Deputy regiment commander Wang Dashan gave instructions to his soldiers.
"Yes!"
Boom boom boom!
Not long after, explosions were heard on the mountain road.
The Japanese stepped into the minefield.
"Baga, engineers, clear the minefield quickly.
Send a large group of soldiers to sweep the mountains on both sides. The Chinese must be lying in ambush there."
The Japanese regiment commander Yasutomi Sawada, after learning that there was a minefield on the mountain road ahead.
I immediately understood the national army's intention.
It's nothing more than blocking their progress.
"beat!"
Following a squadron of Japanese soldiers, they searched the mountains on both sides of the minefield.
Wang Dashan immediately led his men to attack the Japanese soldiers who were searching for them.
"Sniper, prioritize attacking the Japanese engineers."
Wang Dashan shouted.
Ye Qingshan had previously ordered the selection of a group of soldiers with shooting talents in the army.
They were equipped with sniper rifles and trained as snipers.
Later, with more live-fire training opportunities, the snipers in Ye Qingshan’s army grew rapidly.
At this time, in Ye Qingshan’s 86th Army, each company had two to three snipers.
The two sides engaged in fierce fire.
The Japanese engineers who were clearing mines became the targets of snipers.
"Time's up, retreat!
Go to the next minefield and wait."
The two sides fought fiercely for four or five hours. The National Army paid the price of fifty or sixty people and killed nearly a hundred Japanese devils.
More than a dozen Japanese engineers died.
But, so much time has passed.
After the Japanese suffered so many casualties among their engineers, the mines on the mountain road had been almost completely cleared by their engineers.
Wang Dashan decisively led his men to retreat.
Sawada Yasutomi had a gloomy face, but he could do nothing about the Kuomintang's blocking tactics.
The terrain here meant that the National Army could only use the minefields to stop them.
It would be difficult for the Japs to march quickly.
Detours don't exist at all.
This place is surrounded by mountains. It will take about five days to get there by taking a detour.
"Sir, I have an idea.
It can break the Chinese minefields."
A Japanese major stood up and said.
"Tell me, what's the solution?"
"We captured a group of Chinese civilians and asked them to step on the mines.
That speed is definitely much faster than our engineers clearing mines.
There is no need to risk our engineers any more."
The Japanese major officer smiled sinisterly and offered such a vicious plan.
"Hey, your idea is good.
But, in this remote place, where can I go to capture Chinese civilians?"
Yasutomi Sawada also agreed with this approach.
However, at this moment, they have no ordinary people in their hands.
“This is easy. Send someone to contact the 83rd Squadron.
They just took over Ninghai County, so it would be easy to capture a group of Chinese people and bring them here.”
"But wait until they send over the Chinese people.
It will take at least two or three days.
Ye Qingshan is sending troops here now to stop us and delay time.
They must be building a larger defense line on the other side of Lingjiang River.
If we stop moving forward now, wouldn't that be exactly what Ye Qingshan wants?"
Yasutomi Sawada was unwilling to accept this.
"Sir, you can't have your cake and eat it too.
This is the only way we can do if we want to reduce the loss of soldiers.
Otherwise, if we march like this, we will be constantly attacked by the Chinese army using minefields, and the losses will be too great."
"Yoshi, then I'll listen to you.
Send a telegram to the 83rd Regiment and ask them to send a group of Chinese civilians over as soon as possible."
The Japanese 62nd Regiment immediately stopped marching and found a place to set up camp.
"Huh? Why don't the devils leave?"
When Lu Dahai and Wang Dashan received the news, they were also puzzled.
“Who cares.
It's a good thing for us that the Japanese don't leave.
Anyway, we just need to delay it for five days, that’s enough.”
Lu Dahai also found it strange.
But if you can’t figure it out, forget it.
In the next two days, the Japanese 62nd Regiment really did not leave.
At night, Lu Dahai led his men to stage a fake night attack to scare the Japanese.
It was not until two days later that the Japanese 83rd Regiment escorted a group of captured civilians here.
Lu Dahai and Wang Dashan finally understood the reason why the Japanese stopped advancing for the past two days.
What did you do?
"Baga, move forward, hurry up!"
A Japanese machine gunner, holding a Type 99 light machine gun, pointed it at a group of civilians in front.
Force them to move forward.
The road hundreds of meters ahead was now covered with mines laid by Lu Dahai and his men.
These people were extremely terrified when facing the devils' guns.
They had no choice but to move forward, not knowing that there was a minefield ahead.
"Fuck the Japs, you bastards."
At this time, Lu Dahai led his men to ambush on the side mountain.
At this time, he watched the Japs forcing a group of unarmed civilians to walk in front of them and clear the mines for them.
Veins bulged with anger.
He was about to lead his men down the mountain to kill, but was stopped by Wang Dashan.
Boom!
One of the people walking in front stepped on a landmine.
It exploded directly, killing himself and several civilians nearby.
The other people were so frightened that they all lay on the ground or huddled together.
I dare not go on.
"Haha, Your Excellency the Captain.
See, my method works.
With these Chinese civilians stepping on the mines, we don't have to take the risk of our engineers clearing the mines.
Look at how these Chinese are attacking our engineers."
When the Japanese lieutenant colonel saw that his evil plan was successful, he proudly showed off to the Japanese regiment commander.
"Hey, Qiucunzhen.
After the war, I will recommend you to the division headquarters for merit."
Yasutomi Sawada was also very satisfied with this.
"Hi, thanks, Captain."
"Baga! Go!"
At this time, the Japanese soldiers in front were still holding their guns, forcing the group of people to continue moving forward.
However, these ordinary people are not fools.
There is clearly a landmine ahead. Going forward would be courting death!
They had seen the tragic deaths of those companions just now.
"My Lord, please forgive us.
We don’t want to die.”
A young man knelt down in front of a Japanese sergeant, kowtowed desperately, and begged the Japanese to spare them.
The people behind also knelt down.
"Haha, these stupid Chinese pigs."
The devils laughed wantonly.
However, at this moment, there was a figure standing in the crowd and did not kneel down with the others.
It's an old man.
He was wearing a long gown that was washed bleach and had many patches on it. He had an elegant temperament and a beard.
At this moment, he stood out among the kneeling crowd around him.
His short body now seemed unusually tall.
The old man's eyes widened with anger, and he shouted at the people kneeling around him:
"Stand up, don't kneel."
The next moment, the old man walked forward without fear of the guns of the surrounding devils.
He kicked the kowtowed young man in the butt.
He kicked him down and shouted angrily: "Tian Youzhi, get up!
There is gold under a man's knees, and he kneels to heaven and earth to kneel to his parents.
Who taught you to kneel down to the devils?
Shame on you, stand up."
"Teacher, I don't want to die.
I don't want to step on the minefield!
You kneel down too.
Please, please spare our lives."
“Yes, Master.
Kneel down and beg the Lord to spare us."
Other people also began to persuade the old man.
“Hey, you guys!
How confusing.
These devils are clearly jackals, tigers and leopards. What's the point of asking them for help?"
