But beyond the Japanese and puppet troops, even Yang Zhen, who was hiding on the mountain, expected that although the sky was already dawn and the visibility was even good, the wild deputy Masato was still not in a hurry to take action.

Regarding the accompanying captain of the first brigade of the Second Independent Guard, Masao Iwayama immediately took the suggestion of searching the mountains, Nobuo Deputy Masato waved his hand and said, "Iwayama, yours has just been transferred from the country, and you don't understand the Chinese people."

"The terrain here is not complicated. Although it is a mountainous area, the mountain is not high. It can only be considered as shallow mountain areas. However, the vegetation is excellent, with grass and trees on the mountain. Do you know where those Chinese people are hiding in such a large mountain area?"

"Although we have a lot of troops, there are still fewer for this mountainous land. Although the Manchu army trained by Sasaki to Hiroshima himself is loyal to Manchukuo, it is not completely reliable for our Great Japanese Imperial Army. The Chinese people's ideas are sometimes difficult to understand. It is difficult for them to keep them strictly confidential."

"So the Kanto Army Command ordered us to focus on the Chinese people who were extinguishing the riots this time. The Manchu army could only be responsible for the vigilance of the periphery."

"The opponents we fought this time were not those anti-Manchu and anti-Japanese elements in Manchukuo, but the regular Chinese soldiers who escaped from prisoners of war camps. Their combat style was different from those local anti-Manchu and anti-Japanese elements. Therefore, we cannot adopt the tactics against anti-Manchu and anti-Japanese elements before, and we must change it."

"The different targets of combat should also be different. As an imperial soldier, especially an officer, your tactics should be changed according to the identity of your target, and they must not be the same, especially for the Chinese army."

"The reason I brought artillery this time is because these thugs are soldiers of the Chinese government army. They can only engage in conventional positional warfare, and those who fight guerrilla warfare will not. Bringing artillery can effectively reduce the casualties of the loyal and brave soldiers of the imperial army."

After hearing the lessons of Nori Masato, although Masao Iwayama disagreed, he still had to accept it humbly on the surface. After Nori Masato finished speaking, Masao Iwayama quickly stood up and said, "Thank you for your advice, Masao Iwayama must follow the instructions of your Excellency General. But what should I do now? Please give me instructions."

Regarding Masao Iwayama's request, Norima Masato raised the telescope hanging on his chest and carefully observed the surrounding environment before ordering: "Order the artillery to concentrate firepower to cover several hills behind the mine headquarters. Cover the heavy machine gun team and the vanguards to occupy the mine headquarters. After occupying the mine headquarters, low-profile reconnaissance will be carried out with machine gun fire."

After giving the order, Norima Masato put down the telescope in his hand, and perhaps said it to Masao Iwayama or himself: "I have a strange feeling that our opponent is observing us carefully at some point. According to the Manchu report analysis, they should be hiding on several hills behind the small building in the mine headquarters."

Regarding Nomad Masato Yasuto, Masao Iwayama said with some temptation: "Your Excellency, the chef said that the Chinese people were hiding on the hills you mentioned. Could it be that those Chinese people intentionally made it to attract our attention? Those hills are only more than a hundred meters away from the headquarters of the mine, and can be said to be just under our noses. Those Chinese people do not have artillery and are lying there, aren't they seeking death? Are they that stupid?"

Hearing that Masao Iwayama was a little dissatisfied with his analysis, Norima Masato smiled and said, "No, no, you don't understand this. There is a saying among Chinese people that is called dark under the lamp. That is, they think that the more dangerous the place, the safer it is. Those hills are close to the headquarters of the mine, but in their eyes, it may be the safest place."

"Although we have the advantage of the number of people now, the enemy is dark and I am bright. We do not know where those Chinese are hidden. The rash attack can only bring unnecessary casualties to the loyal and brave warriors of the empire. There is an idiom in China called "Attacking the snakes. I will use shells to drive the hateful Chinese people out of their hiding place."

For Masao Iwayama, there is no big difference between No. No. Masao Iwayama's sixth sense or not. He is an officer of the Independent Second Guard. If No. No. Masao Iwayama still resolutely executes the order.

With the order from the Nobel Deputy Masato, the Japanese artillery that arrived concentrated all the firepower and covered the mountain where Yang Zhen was hiding and several small hills around. At the same time, several Japanese vanguard teams were ready to set off and prepared to launch a tentative attack on the mine headquarters under the cover of the fire of light and heavy machine guns after the artillery fire ended.

The dense shells fired by the Japanese army covered the mountain where Yang Zhen was. Yang Zhen and all his brothers, who were hidden on the mountain, could not lift their heads, which were suppressed by artillery fire.

I have never seen such a formation. Zhang Ting, who had long since disappeared from her previous sturdy spirit, showed the fear that a woman should have.

Zhang Ting, who was baptized by artillery fire for the first time, was so scared that she opened her mouth and was about to scream. Her body couldn't help but stand up to avoid when it would hit her head. People who have never really been on the battlefield always think that her two legs ran faster than the cannonballs.

Seeing Zhang Ting being frightened by the shells hitting him, she was about to jump up and shout, Yang was shocked and pressed her quickly. He covered her mouth tightly with one hand to prevent her from making a sound. He pressed her to the ground with the other hand to prevent her from being injured by shrapnel flying everywhere.

Li Mingrui, who was also confused by the formation of the wild deputy Changde, took advantage of the fire and lay down on Yang Zhen, who was struggling with Zhang Ting, and said in his ears: "The Japanese shells all fell around us. Have they discovered us?"

"Captain Yang, this mountain bag is not very big. If the Japanese continue to explode like this, it will not take much time. The brothers will suffer casualties and the plants and trees on the mountain will be blown up. See if we retreat and avoid the Japanese's firepower coverage."

Regarding Li Mingrui's suggestion, Yang Zhen shook his head and said, "Although the Japanese have been in a dense fire these days, there is no point in falling shells. This only means that they are shooting blindly. This means that the Japanese have not really discovered that we are hiding here, so we must not move now. Once we move, we will be truly exposed."

"The commander of this Japanese devil is very cunning. He does not take the initiative to attack, but uses artillery fire to test first. If we are not wrong, he is forcing us to move. Forcing us to attack first or retreat. As long as we move, he can accurately determine our location."

"Tell your brothers to stick with it and keep calm. The Japanese came this time suddenly and did not use transportation, so there shouldn't be too many shells. I think their shelling should be about to end. However, what I worry most now is whether the shelling they have no accurate targets will break the explosive wire."

Hearing Yang Zhen’s answer, Li Mingrui did not say anything, but did not say anything to retreat. He just pressed his body tightly to the ground to avoid shells.

Fortunately, Yang Zhen predicted that the Japanese artillery bombardment did not last long and became sparse. Although it did not stop, its strength was far from comparable to before. Seeing the drop of shells gradually decreased, Li Mingrui breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at the slanted trees on the mountain, no suspicious target was found, and Masato Nori, who could only put down the telescope in his hand in disappointment, couldn't help but wonder in his heart: "Is my guess wrong? Did those Chinese people have already withdrawn?"

Thinking of this, he turned around and asked the Chinese chef who was reporting the news and said, "Are you sure they were hiding on the surrounding mountains without evacuating?"

When the man heard the Japanese major general asking him, he quickly bowed and said, "The young one can guarantee it with his life. All the words are true. They divided some of them and took the laborers away, but their heads were the ones who saluted him, and they stayed with them and went up to the mountain."

"The little one just reported the letter to Taijun of Acheng by phone from the mine, and they were locked up. They didn't let the little one out until they left. The one who took the lead asked the little one if they followed them, saying that they also lacked a chef."

"I am an honest man, support the Manchurian Empire, support His Majesty Kant. I support the goodwill of the Sun Man and coexist and prosper together. I will never join them and fight against the Sun Man and fight against the Sun Man and the young man. The young man found an excuse to say that the young man had his mother in his family and could not be separated. The man let the young man go when he saw that the young man didn't go with them, and he took the team to the back mountain by himself."

"After they let me go, I thought that as a good citizen, I should cooperate with the imperial army to eliminate these bold and ignorant anti-Manchu and anti-Japanese elements, and did not go far away, and kept hiding nearby. And the young man saw that the flashlight on the mountain was lit until dawn was about to shut. So Taijun, they must still be hiding nearby."

"Taijun, the young man reported to Taijun. See if the reward should be given to the young man. The young man did not go home that night, so the wife and children in this family should also be thinking about it."

Looking at the man in front of him with a humble look on his face, Nori Masato suppressed the disgust in his heart and waved his hand. Although Nori Masato hated these people who betrayed his compatriots in exchange for wealth and glory, he had been transferred to the Kanto Army for a whole year and knew that if he wanted to completely suppress the Chinese people who dared to resist them, he still needed such people. Even the more people there were, the more beneficial it would be for the Japanese Empire to occupy Manchuria.

When a Japanese translator next to him saw his gesture, he reluctantly took out a pile of money and stuffed it into the chef who reported the message, and said contemptuously: "This is a thousand national coins that Taijun rewards you. Don't throw them away if you take them. If you lose them, the imperial army will not make up for them."

But after saying this, the translator whispered in a low voice that others could not hear, and said to the chef who betrayed his compatriots: "You kid exchange your compatriots' blood for this little money, and you are not afraid of spending your hands, then there are hundreds of fucking lives. You kid be careful to have the life to make money, but you have no life to spend it. Get out of here immediately, and you will feel disgusted when you see you."

Hearing the translator's words, the chef who reported the news couldn't help but be stunned. It was not until the translator kicked him hard on the butt that he realized and rolled and crawled away.

Looking at the chef's back, the translator turned around and did not dare to talk to Nobuya Masato, but said to Masao Iwayama: "Grandpa Iwayama, is this chef deceived the imperial army? The shells hit me now, and even if there were dead people on the opposite mountain, they were alarmed. The thugs have not yet revealed their shadows. It's not that they had already run away.

The shelling was bombarded this time, and one-third of the shells were knocked down, but no results were seen. Masao Iwayama, who was a little dissatisfied in his heart, said coldly when he heard his words: "Don't just suspicion of the general's decision. Ours are soldiers, and we must strictly obey the orders of our superiors."

Seeing that Masao Iwayama was a little dissatisfied, the translator stepped aside and did not dare to speak. He just looked at the small hill that was still exploding from time to time, and there was a sense of pain and melancholy in his eyes that was not easy to detect.

In the eyes of the Japanese, no one noticed the little translator's thoughts that were no more noble than Dog. Whether it was Norika Masato or Iwayama Masao, their sight had long been attracted by the attacking vanguard group.

When he received the first vanguard team sent out first, under the cover of more than a dozen light and heavy machine guns and grenade launchers, easily occupied the Japanese-style building at the headquarters of the mine, Masatoshi Nobu was not happy, but his brows became deeper and deeper.

From the chef who reported the news, he was sure that the rioters of the Chinese must have not gone far. He had been dealing with the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces, which were active in Jilin, Jiandao and Tonghua provinces for a year. The experienced Ye Deputy Changde told him intuition that at least some of the Chinese people were hiding on the nearby mountains.

The reason why the Nobian Jung-Sao Shinde was so stubborn was not just the cook's report. As a major general of the Japanese army, he was not that stupid. The reason why he thought so was because the cook told him that when the thugs evacuated, they took away all the supplies they could use in the mine and all the laborers. It was fine, but those workers in the eyes of the Nobian Jung-Sao Shinde could only be regarded as a big burden.

Because he had participated in the construction of Fengman Hydropower Station by escorting workers, he knew that his compatriots treated these laborers almost as free as possible, and in their eyes, they had the kind of virtues they had.

He also knew very well what those workers who had been here for a year were like. He knew that those thugs who had been here for so many weak laborers and had a large amount of supplies marched, and those who lacked transportation would definitely not be able to walk fast.

According to military common sense, with such a big burden, those Chinese government officers and soldiers cannot leave behind troops that have been blocked from behind. If these people are not eliminated, their own clearance operation will definitely be affected. Although they are extremely despised of the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army, Ye Jun Jun Masato did not want an enemy army to emerge behind him when he was fighting against the thugs.

For Jung-Masatoshi, since these opponents are from regular troops, the methods they need to take to fight against them must be different from those of guerrillas. According to the idea of ​​regular troops, the problem is to be considered.

The overly confident Masato Shintoku thought that his opponent was left behind, but it was not the cover he imagined, but was left behind in order to send them collectively to the West.

Nobuo Masato stubbornly believed that his opponent was from a regular army, so when considering the problem, he had to consider the mentality of a regular army. He did not expect, nor did he think that his opponent would be a special combat from later generations, not only quickly read the various tactics that the People's Liberation Army relied on for success in later generations, especially mobile warfare and guerrilla warfare. He was also proficient in special operations that he did not know and only rose until the full outbreak of World War II.

The Fiery Deputy Shinto, who had never considered whether the Chinese government soldiers he mentioned, would have guerrilla tactics. After receiving the vanguard group had successfully occupied the mine headquarters, no abnormalities were found, and no resistance reports were encountered, he pondered for a moment, but ordered: "Order the vanguard to continue searching forward and occupy the warning position after that building. The command center for this clearance will be temporarily set up there. As for the rest of the troops, they will immediately advance and prepare to clear the mountain."

"Your Excellency, are you going to let the soldiers eat first and then clean up? Since yesterday, we have been on the train in Xinjing, we have been marching continuously, and the soldiers have not yet eaten yet. When we go to the mountain to clean up, we are worried that the soldiers will not be able to keep up with their physical strength." Hearing the order of Nobuo Masato, Masao Iwayama said hesitantly.

It’s not that Masao Iwayama cherishes his subordinates. He just worried that he would not kick out because the soldiers could not keep up with their physical strength, and would be embarrassed in front of the commander’s lord. In Masao Iwayama’s eyes, those soldiers were just consumables and were not worth mentioning at all. This is no different from other middle and senior Japanese officers.

Masao Iwayama's suggestion made Norima Masato feel a little dissatisfied, thinking that this boring guy is still thinking about eating. But Norima Masato also knew that what he was talking about was the truth. He had no rest all the way yesterday from Xinjing to now.

In order to hurry, the army specially transferred from the Kwantung Army Command did not stop all the way. After getting off the car, they rushed on the road. The soldiers had not eaten yet. When their soldiers set off, they only carried ammunition because of a hurry.

When getting off the bus in the Yin River, because the place is small, it cannot provide a lot of hot food at the same time, so it only replenishes some of the food and cannot have dinner. And it is not possible to get through the mountain to clean up the physical strength.

Although Nori Masato hesitated for a moment, he finally nodded and agreed: "Tell all squadrons to rest for an hour and then the whole army went into the mountains to clear them."

Nobuo Masato didn't know that it was the so-called act of cherishing soldiers in his eyes that brought a catastrophe to himself and his subordinates.
