Chapter 631 Good opportunity
The puppet troops were originally used as cannon fodder by them.
If we use engineers to clear the mines, it will take a lot of time.
Therefore, he did not agree to the request of the puppet army commander, but let the puppet army continue to lead the way.
The puppet army commander could only cover his red face from being beaten and walk back, letting three soldiers lead the way, followed ten meters behind by the nine soldiers in this squad of three people, and ten meters behind them were the other puppet army troops.
But the distance between each group of soldiers in the front row was two or three meters.
If they really encounter a booby trap again, their casualties will not be that great.
Just as he expected, there were several more mines not far ahead.
However, this was not a booby trap, but a landmine buried on the ground by the Japanese grenade.
The puppet soldiers in the front row luckily didn't step on it.
Instead, the person behind stepped on three.
Three mines made from Japanese grenades exploded, killing and injuring more than a dozen puppet soldiers.
The pseudo-army commander had to ask people to pause.
But the Japanese soldiers behind them fired into the sky, forcing them to continue moving forward.
The puppet army commander could only carry the wounded aside to treat their wounds and let the rest of the people continue to move forward.
As a result, along the way, they either stepped on the Japanese grenades or triggered booby traps.
After ten consecutive attacks, more than a hundred puppet soldiers were killed or injured by landmines and booby traps.
The angry puppet soldiers kept cursing in dialect.
A Japanese adjutant saw that the marching speed was getting slower and slower, and he thought there must be many landmines and booby traps on the road.
He had to make suggestions to Yuuki Ubayama.
"General, the troops are marching too slowly. If they continue like this, we won't be able to catch up with the enemy before dark. Should we contact the air force for support?"
"idiot!"
After Laoshan Yonghui cursed angrily, the damn guy quickly lowered his head and said hi.
After all, this time it was Captain Yuki Laoshan who personally led the team to hunt and kill for revenge.
And the team carried a large number of heavy weapons.
Including 12 75mm field guns and 12 105mm howitzers! He was unwilling to admit defeat just like that.
He could only continue to shout at the team to speed up.
Soon it was dark.
The puppet troops and puppet soldiers could only find a high place to set up camp when it was getting dark.
But what they didn't expect was that
After Shanmao and Xiao Digu retreated, they found that there were no Japanese chasing them, so they quickly reported the situation to Yuan Shuai.
General Yuan immediately asked them to follow the right wing of the Japanese troops and monitor their movements at any time, but try not to use the radio to communicate so as to prevent the Japanese from noticing the problem.
When they saw the Japanese setting up camp, Shanmao and Xiao Digu did not use the radio, but directly asked a brother to run over to find Yuan Shuai to report the situation.
Yuan Shuai has also found a place to set up camp.
At this time, they had crossed a road and found a place to set up camp.
Upon hearing the news, Hu Dacai and Fu Yidao's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Boss, this is a good opportunity. We can make a surprise attack!"
"That's right..."
Before the two of them finished speaking, Hamigua, listening to Du Shao's translation, immediately interrupted and shouted.
"General Yuan, you guys are killing yourself! Behind us is a regiment of puppet troops, a regiment of Japanese infantry, a 75mm field artillery battalion, a 105mm howitzer battalion, and even 6 anti-aircraft guns! With so few people, we would be sending ourselves to die if we turn back! We should continue forward after dark and after dinner! Get rid of them as soon as possible!"
Because his radio operator had not allowed Du Shao to listen to the radio before, even if he heard Shanmao’s report, he would not know how many Japanese and puppet troops were behind him.
However, this guy was very cunning. He always felt that language communication was a big obstacle, so he asked Du Shao to follow the signalman.
If it’s the Bobcats who contact us, let Du Shao listen.
Therefore, Du Shao quickly found out the military strength behind him.
However, in order to stabilize the morale of the troops, Hami melon never said it.
And now, Yuan Shuai was actually going to strike back. He couldn't hold it in any longer and told the truth.
Sure enough, the whole team went wild in an instant.
Not only the British troops, but even the National Army soldiers were talking about it in astonishment.
"Damn, there are so many Japanese and puppet troops behind us!"
"There are also 12 75mm field guns and 12 105mm howitzers!"
"But why don't they use 75mm field guns and 105mm howitzers during the day?"
"Nonsense! We ran fast and they didn't know where we were. If they had waited to find us, we would have been doomed!"
"What are you waiting for? Let's leave now. Hurry up and eat. Leave after you finish eating!"
"Yes, leave after eating!"
Almost everyone clamored to retreat immediately after finishing their meal and try their best to get rid of the Japanese and puppet troops behind them.
Wang Shuncheng and his brothers in the Black Wolf Army were so angry that they gritted their teeth.
They had done a pretty good job of keeping it secret and not too many members of the National Army knew about it.
But who knew that Hami melon still knew about it.
Seeing Du Shao next to Hami melon, everyone understood that it must be Du Shao who got the news through the radio.
"What are you yelling about? Just shut up!"
Yuan Shuai’s roar made all the shouting voices stop.
Yuan Shuai continued to shout.
"Retreat, retreat, retreat, you only know how to retreat. There may be enemy positions waiting for us ahead!"
"Then why didn't you retreat before!"
After Du Shao responded to Hami melon, Hami melon immediately pointed at his nose and shouted.
"If I had retreated south before, would you have followed me? Don't forget how your deserters died!"
These words made Hami melon's face turn red with embarrassment.
Indeed, if General Yuan retreated southward at that time, he would definitely not follow him.
Now he followed General Yuan to retreat southwards in order to take a roundabout route back to their base camp.
But soon, he thought of something and spoke quickly.
"If the Japanese send artillery scouts over at night, find our position, and guide the artillery behind to cover us with artillery fire, we will all be doomed!"
"Impossible! We have buried booby traps along the way. Even if scouts come, they will detonate these booby traps! As long as the thunder sounds, we will know someone is coming!"
"In addition, we can also send people to stand guard in the back. We can make smokeless stoves! We can even light a few fires in another direction to attract the Japanese scouts over! Let their artillery blow up the air! At the same time, we can also use mortars to cover their camps! Destroy their 105 howitzer camps and 75 field artillery camps as soon as possible!"
Hearing this, all the worried eyes suddenly flashed with a ray of hope.
But soon, after hearing Du Shao's response, Hami melon refuted again.
"If the devils are lying in ambush, waiting for us to pass by, then we are walking into a trap, aren't we?"
