Are you a spy? Killing the enemy is too cruel.

Chapter 372 Battle of Woniu Mountain

"The Chinese want to ambush us, and this is the best place!"

Division Commander Hisakurume pointed with his white-gloved finger to a flat river beach on the map.

"Pity!"

"The 8,000 Chinese soldiers have been trained for less than a month. They are all vulnerable recruits with weak combat effectiveness."

"Even if it's an ambush, you can't resist the powerful troops of my 12th Division."

"As long as we defeat these 8,000 secretly trained anti-Japanese forces, the few Chinese troops that have been established will be vulnerable."

After listening to these analyses, the serious Kishida could not help but nod secretly and agreed:

"The commander is wise. If the combat effectiveness of our 12th Division is placed on other fronts, even if the Shenzhou army has 100,000 soldiers, they will not be able to withstand our powerful firepower charge."

Kishida did not brag about this.

If the Japanese division of more than 20,000 people were to engage in a head-on battle, the Shenzhou army would need at least 50,000 people to counter it.

Want to swallow this Japanese division in one bite.

It would require the mobilization of more than 100,000 troops, the sacrifice of countless soldiers, and the exchange of lives in order to succeed.

"Division Commander, if the anti-Japanese armed forces are ambushing on this river beach, we can order Onodera's regiment to use heavy artillery to clear the way and launch a round of artillery fire to cover this area first."

Chief of Staff Kishida paused and continued:

"Judging from the terrain, the 8,000 anti-Japanese armed forces are most likely ambushed in this slightly higher mountain range."

Kurume nodded and issued a combat order: "Order, Onodera's troops advance one kilometer and use artillery positions to launch the first round of covering bombing attacks on the river beach and mountains."

"Order Okamura Neiji and Aso Taro to flank us at any time."

"Once the location of the main force of the anti-Japanese armed forces is found, immediately dispatch the tank squadron to launch a strong charge."

"Telegram to the captains of the three surrounding guard squadrons to implement a loose-outside-tight-inside strategy and be on guard against attacks by small enemy forces."

……

The radio operator nearby transcribed Kurume's words and immediately contacted various units to convey the combat orders.

Soon after, Onodera's troops took the lead in launching an attack.

Dozens of mortars launched a fierce round of artillery explosions towards the river beach.

"Rumble..."

"Rumble..."

……

The terrible explosion was deafening, and balls of flames accompanied by thick smoke kept rising into the sky.

The surrounding area of ​​tens of thousands of meters was illuminated by the dazzling light.

Japanese division commander Hisakurume was observing the battlefield with a telescope, and he actually saw something:

"Sure enough, the anti-Japanese armed forces have buried a lot of mines around the riverbank."

"If we march rashly and fall into the enemy's trap, we will suffer heavy losses even if we don't lose the battle."

The chief of staff Kishida put down his binoculars and said, "What a pity, the mountains were blown to pieces and set on fire in the terrible explosion. But there was no sign of a Chinese."

Kurume was a little overwhelmed and said, "We were marching in secret. The Chinese were behind in intelligence information. When they found our 12th Division, they were probably scared to death and started to retreat to the mountains."

Woniu Mountain.

It is not a steep mountain, but a long and undulating mountain range. Deep in the mountains, the terrain is not too steep and there is enough space to build houses and accommodate tens of thousands of people.

Kishida still felt something was wrong with Kurume's judgment. "Division Commander, I have a way to find out the strength of the Chinese."

Kurume said, "Tell me about it."

In Kurume's view, as long as the 8,000 anti-Japanese armed forces are still in the Woniu Mountain area, they will never be able to escape.

With the powerful combat capability of his 12th Division, he can annihilate the opponent by pushing forward all the way.

Kishida said, "Once the artillery fire is over, we can send several teams to attack from different directions. As long as the Chinese anti-Japanese armed forces are still hiding in that mountain range, they will definitely show up to attack. At that time, our large forces will press forward and deal a fatal blow to the anti-Japanese armed forces."

Kurume agreed, and the Japanese soldiers behind him copied the action order and immediately sent a telegram to Onodera.

Kurume added, "Kishida-kun, the only thing I'm worried about now is Ye Feng, the underground party's super agent."

Ye Feng?

Kishida frowned and said, "According to the information we have obtained, Ye Feng's combat power is terrifying. He can fight against a force of thousands of people alone. It is indeed worth noting. However, our bombing team that took off from Songhu has already flown to the urban area of ​​Shanghai. I heard that this super agent can't bear to see the people of China suffer. I think he must be dragged into Shanghai at this time and can't take care of the battlefield of Woniu Mountain."

Kurume waved his hand and shouted, "Send a telegram to Matsushita Taro and ask about the situation in the city."

Not long after.

A telegram was delivered to Kurume. Instantly, a smug smile appeared on Kurume's face. He laughed and said:

"Good, good, you are worthy of being the excellent air force of our Great Japanese Empire. Although all fifteen fighter planes crashed, the underground party member Ye Feng was also drowned in the poisonous smoke explosions and buried in the highly toxic weapons. It is estimated that he has died."

Kishida took the telegram, glanced at it, and said, "Intelligence shows that this super agent has the terrifying ability to dodge bullets and shells. I think we should send another telegram. We must find out if Ye Feng was killed by the poison gas bomb."

Kurume said with emotion, "If we can really kill a super agent, let alone spending fifteen bombing planes, even if we spend fifty or a hundred, it would be worth it in exchange for Ye Feng's life."

There was no way. At this time in China, an anti-Japanese storm had swept across the country.

Countless anti-Japanese forces emerged in various parts of China. They could not be killed off, and the Japanese invaders were unable to defend themselves against them.

Who started this anti-Japanese storm?

It was Ye Feng.

It is in Shanghai.

Ye Feng single-handedly changed China's corrupt anti-Japanese situation, and he became a major threat to the Japanese.

Moreover, Ye Feng’s individual combat capability is so incredible that it is beyond the scope of “human”.

This made any senior officer of a Japanese army feel the threat of being "beheaded" at any time.

Ye Feng is not dead.

Any military commander would be unable to sleep or eat well.

At this time, an adjutant who was responsible for real-time observation of the battlefield situation shouted excitedly:

"Report, anti-Japanese armed forces have been spotted in the direction of the mountain, and the number is estimated to be over 5,000."

Kurume and Kishida immediately walked over, and after a careful observation, Kurume decisively ordered:

"Give orders. Onodera's troops will continue to suppress the enemy with powerful artillery fire. Use tanks to clear the way. Send three squadrons to follow. Don't seek to advance at the highest speed. Advance step by step and charge the riverbanks and mountains ahead."

The battle of Woniu Mountain has truly begun.

The position on this side of the mountain.

Zhou Qingshan, who was in charge of the command, looked at the tanks sent by the 12th Corps and the Japanese charging, with a helpless look on his face. They had thousands of people in ambush, and if they were veteran soldiers with strict discipline, they could have hidden themselves and not been discovered by the Japanese.

Unfortunately, there were thousands of new recruits, some of whom were timid. When they saw shells exploding around them, they screamed in fear.

The Japanese are not blind and will definitely find out what's fishy.

At this time, the 12th Legion launched a charge, and it was obvious that they had noticed something strange about the mountains.

"A well-planned ambush was turned into a blocking battle based on numbers. It was difficult!"

Zhou Qingshan could only give orders:

"Messenger, tell everyone to get ready for battle. When the enemy approaches, listen for the sound of my gunfire and fire back immediately."
