    By the way, just as the Mangshan ambush was coming to an end, the main force of the Japanese 26th Brigade had already left Chuxian County and was rushing to Quanjiao.

    In fact, as soon as Numata Shigetori's troops left the city, they heard the sound of gunfire from the direction of Mangshan. From the distance, it seemed that the battle location did not look like Quanjiao County, so Numata Shigetori had an ominous premonition in his heart and immediately ordered  The troops marched faster.

    What Numata Shigetori didn¡¯t expect was that their journey of suffering had just begun.

    The troops were attacked less than five kilometers out of the county seat. The attack was caused by two landmines. Because they were prepared, two soldiers were directly killed and three others were injured.

    Hearing the violent explosion, the entire Japanese marching team was suddenly in chaos. Everyone fell to the ground and looked around cautiously. Some recruits even shot around, acting a bit amateurish.

    As a veteran who has been in the army for more than 30 years, Numata Shigenori has rich command experience. Knowing that this was not an attack, but a minefield laid by the enemy, he immediately ordered the troops to stop advancing and sent engineers to clear the mines.

    However, what Numata Shigetori didn't expect was that there would be enemy infantry hiding nearby. Just as the engineers were clearing a few mines, they heard several rapid gunshots and more than a dozen people who were clearing mines.  The engineer was killed by an Eighth Route Army sniper hiding in the dark.

    What was even more shocking was that one of the snipers actually targeted them commanders. In just a moment, one junior officer and three lieutenants were killed, and he, the major general brigade commander  He almost became the opponent's trophy. If the adjutant hadn't pushed him off the horse in time when he heard the gunfire, he would have become a pile of broken corpses like those engineers.

    But it is a pity that his adjutant was hit by the opponent's sniper. Although he did not die, half of his cheek was smashed, blood flowed across it, and his face was covered with blood. He looked like he had crawled back from hell.  , it¡¯s a pity that Aoki¡¯s originally handsome appearance.

    What Numata Shigenori didn't know was that in order to train a qualified special forces as soon as possible, Li Guoyao had spent a lot of money. Every team member's weapons and equipment were equipped by Li Guoyao himself, especially the snipers.  Made of a Type 97 sniper rifle and a camouflage training uniform, it looks quite a bit like a special forces soldier.

    In order to truly turn these soldiers into special forces, Li Guoyao asked Jiang Feng to take them around to do tasks after they completed basic training, either reconnaissance or sniper missions, using combat as training. In a short period of time, these soldiers  Their level has increased significantly.

    Jiang Feng did not bring many people with him on this reconnaissance mission. He only had 36 people with him. According to the establishment of the special forces, this was a complete combat team.

    Although he only had this small amount of troops, Jiang Feng was able to create a battalion-like effect. He killed forty or fifty important targets in the first round of fire, and caused more than ten thousand little Japs to panic and create chaos.

    Numata Shigetori was furious. He was almost killed by a sniper. He immediately ordered the rapid-fire artillery squadron to open fire immediately and conduct all-round artillery bombardment in the direction of the bullets.

    But Shigenori Numata ignored the sniper rifle in the hands of Jiang Feng and others. The biggest feature of the Type 97 sniper rifle is its high shooting accuracy. The second is that it has no famous flame. Even if it shoots in the dark, it is difficult to find the opponent. Therefore, the Japanese army  Many people were killed by snipers, but the enemy's hiding place was never discovered.

    In desperation, the artillery team could only roughly estimate the opponent's hiding place based on the range of the rifle, and then conduct indiscriminate fire coverage.

    After struggling like this for more than ten minutes, there was finally no movement, and the Japanese army started on the road again.

    However, the peaceful time is short-lived after all, and the attack just now is just the beginning.

    Along the way, the Chinese army¡¯s landmines and snipers were everywhere, and the bullets were even weirder, with blood in them. Basically, a Japanese soldier was killed as soon as the gunshot was fired.

    And the opponent is very cunning. They seldom attack ordinary soldiers, but focus on attacking their officers and technical arms. Engineers, artillerymen and machine gunners have become the arms with the highest casualty rate.

    At the beginning, there were only two attack methods: sniper and landmine. Although it was a bit difficult, it was not too difficult to start.  However, as they moved further away from the county town, the opponent's methods became more numerous, including even heavy machine guns and mortars.

    ??Especially mortars, which can fire a few shots from a distance of several kilometers, kill some soldiers, and then move their positions. It is really impossible to guard against them.

    An hour and a half after leaving the city, Numata Shigetori's troops suffered five to six hundred casualties, but they didn't even see the shadow of the enemy.

    ?That's all. What's more important is that they actually walked less than three kilometers in one and a half hours. According to the normal marching speed, they could walk about fifteen kilometers in one and a half hours at least. This speed really made Shigetori Numata, who was eager to get on the road,  Kneel down.

    The most important thing is that after this blow, the morale of the troops was seriously damaged.

    There will always be an ambush in the mountains, there will be mines in the woods, and from time to time a few mortar shells will fall from the sky.  In some dangerous valley pass areas, the enemy would even set up machine guns, and then wait for them to arrive and beat them violently.

    This journey was simply a nightmare. The journey was not very long, but it was very torturous.  At this time, all the soldiers were panicked and completely lost their previous high fighting spirit.

    Numata Shigenori is also a leader who refuses to admit defeat. Whenever his troops are attacked, he will order people to fight back, and at the same time send a small group of troops to outflank them, hoping to catch these hateful woodchuck-like enemies.

    But as soon as his men move, the enemy will disappear without a trace. When his men rush to the enemy's position, except for a pile of empty bullet casings, not even a single person can be seen.

    Occasionally, they can bite the enemy's tail, but they are quickly thrown away by the enemy who are familiar with the terrain.

    By the time the Japanese troops arrived at Mangshan, it was already past two in the morning, more than three times longer than they expected.

    At this time, not to mention the soldiers of the national army on the battlefield, even the original billowing smoke had been extinguished, and the corpses of Hirata's troops had all become cold and stiff.

    Seeing the corpses on the ground and thinking of the grievances he felt along the way, Major General Shigetori Numata couldn't help but become furious. While reporting the situation to the division headquarters, he asked for instructions on what to do.

    It was obvious that the sneak attack had completely failed. Not only were the troops in Quanjiao City prepared, but they were also caught off guard, so there was no need to go to Quanjiao tonight.

    More importantly, Major General Shigenori Numata was also frightened by Li Guoyao's elusive snipers.

    He has been marching and fighting for so many years. He has fought against the Korean army, the Chinese army and the Russian army, and even fought against the Soviets. He has fought tough battles and lost, but he has never fought a battle like today.

    It¡¯s not that the enemy is too strong, it¡¯s that this battle was too frustrating.

    Although Numata Shigetori didn¡¯t know how many snipers Li Guoyao¡¯s unit had sent, it was never too many. This could be seen from the enemy¡¯s firepower density, which stood against the sky with fifty or sixty people.

    But it was these dozens of people who dragged their army of more than 10,000 for more than four hours. They watched the Hirata brigade being eaten by others. They were so useless.

    However, in retrospect, his response along the way was very timely and there was no obvious command error. Others might not be as good as him. Even if he were asked to choose again now, he might have the same response.

    So the question is, how should we deal with the Chinese army¡¯s tactics that have no bushido spirit?

    After thinking about it, Numata Shigetori could only think of not operating at night as much as possible. At least during the day, the field of vision is wider, and he can completely see the direction in which the opponent's bullets are coming. The artillery can also respond quickly, and may be able to restrain the opponent's methods. Therefore,  Only then would he ask the division and regiment headquarters whether they could operate during the day tomorrow.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
