Chapter 94 Just One?
Four thirty in the morning is the darkest and coldest time of the day.
Therefore, Tang Dao patiently threw the "Five Drums Soul-breaking Incense" in his hand in the upwind of this trench with the help of the autumn wind.
It was not easy for the Japanese infantrymen. They came from the main island of Japan to sleep in the big cool bed. As the host, Tang Dao had to let them sleep well when they were most sleepy.
Anyway, he would never admit that he wanted to stab them in the deepest sleep. Really, for this goal, Tang Dao waited patiently until nearly five o'clock.
In the middle, Tang Dao might have crossed the trench to go at least 100 meters deep in the direction of the Japanese position in order not to be too bored. He did not hide his body. The night password he had obtained, the pure Kyoto accent and the rank of second lieutenant made it easy for him to pass through two sentries.
If possible, Tang Dao hoped to steal the head of a Japanese lieutenant. It is said that the head of a Japanese lieutenant is worth 100 oceans, which is definitely a valuable thing.
But the Japanese army was indeed cautious enough. The patrol forces along the way from the front-line positions to their headquarters gradually increased in strength, from ordinary sentry groups to squads. Looking at the sky, Tang Dao had to give up. In half an hour, the Japanese army would get up and line up for breakfast.
If you can't kill the big guys, you can only vent your anger on the small ones. Anyway, it can't be in vain.
Tang Dao is probably infected with the bad habit of future Chinese people to carve "someone was here" wherever they go.
In fact, killing people is easier than killing pigs, especially when they sleep more deeply than pigs.
Cover your mouth and stab the heart accurately with a knife. The time it takes for an adult man to die will not exceed 20 seconds.
Moreover, as long as you choose the right direction, the moment you draw the knife, the blood will not have a chance to splash all over you.
In short, this is a technical job, especially after killing nearly an infantry squad with a knife in a row, the skills are even more proficient.
Practice makes perfect!
However, as the saying goes, ‘If you often walk by the river, you will get your shoes wet!’ Tang Dao was working very hard, and a Japanese soldier not far from him woke up unexpectedly.
“Baga! What’s this smell?” The Japanese soldier who sat up muttered angrily, and looked around blankly to find the source of the strange smell that woke him up from his sleep.
Obviously, the effect of ‘Five Drum Soul-breaking Powder’ is not as awesome as the legend says. It may make a person with good sleep quality sleep more soundly, but it cannot prevent a person with a keen sense of smell from opening his eyes.
It usually takes two to three seconds for human pupils to adapt to light, so the Japanese soldier who looked around blankly did not actually see the Tang Dao who was busy killing people only three or four meters away from him.
But it doesn’t matter anymore, a knife has already arrived at high speed.
No one wears a helmet when sleeping. The Type 38 bayonet with good steel broke through the hard head and sank into the forehead. The Japanese soldier screamed and fell to the ground, twisting his body in pain.
The rest of the Japanese soldiers who were sleeping soundly were awakened, and a figure jumped out of the trench and rushed into the darkness at high speed.
At the same time, two grenades were thrown into the trench that was still in chaos from a distance one after another.
"Boom! Boom!" The two loud noises completely alarmed the Japanese position.
"Enemy attack!" Amid the exclamations of the Japanese grassroots commanders, the Japanese soldiers in the trenches and the rest points outside the trenches rushed to the place where they stored their rifles.
Unlike the Chinese soldiers who like to sleep with their guns beside them, the Japanese soldiers who attach great importance to equipment always put the guns together in small teams during the rest period on the battlefield and after the maintenance of the guns.
Especially in the Songhu battlefield, this is also to prevent the damp ground mud from damaging the guns.
The guard hook on the bayonet of the Japanese Type 38 rifle can perfectly hold several rifles together without worrying about collapse.
The Japanese army reacted so quickly that they all overlooked one thing. Since there were attackers, their own positions were not as safe as before.
Tang Dao used local materials to lay simple trip mines in a very short time, and was pulled by the first Japanese soldier who picked up a rifle.
As the saying goes: The early bird catches the worm! The Japanese soldier who touched the fishing line and pulled the grenade fuse jumped very fast, and he didn't even notice that he was dragging a few familiar "small melons" behind him.
As the "small melons" continued to collide with the ground...
The tragedy happened.
"Boom! Boom!" There were several loud noises again, and the flames that burst out instantly burned the eyes of a Japanese captain who came out of the trench on the other side.
In the darkness, he didn't know how much his men had lost, but the wailing that came from the sky made him know that his 2nd Infantry Squadron was understaffed from this moment on.
And that was three days ago, he, Nao Matsumoto, found the brigade commander through his wife's sister and completed the replenishment!
63 casualties, 63 replacements, the instant full health status made the other colleagues of the 36th Regiment envious.
Could it be that before we even started the battle, our squadron's health bar had become shorter?
"Flare! In front of the position! Three, shoot!" Listening to the wailing from his own position, Captain Matsumoto Nao suppressed his grief for the time being and gave orders calmly.
"In addition, pass the order, everyone stay where they are and wait for orders. Those who move around will die."
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Three muffled sounds, three flares hit the sky.
The three small suns that were slowly setting were enough to illuminate an area with a radius of one kilometer. Not only could one see clearly how many attackers were there, but also the situation on one's own position could be seen through the residual light of the flares.
In order to prevent being shelled by the Chinese, the Japanese army's positions were also in the dark. Although they were hit several times by grenades, except for the unlucky guy who was hit by shrapnel, everyone else looked confused and no one knew what the situation was.
People are the most panicked in the dark. Once an enemy sneaks in and attacks, the camp bombing incident is most likely to occur.
The bright light cast by the flares can also calm the panic of the soldiers.
It can be said that the Japanese captain is calm enough, and this performance alone is enough to score 90 points.
If Tang Dao still dares to hide in the position with his camouflage that cannot withstand much scrutiny, when the afterglow of the flare illuminates the trench, no matter how unfamiliar the newly added infantry squadron soldiers are to each other, the sudden appearance of long legs After all, it still seemed too abrupt.
There is a high probability that he will reveal his secret.
Therefore, Tang Dao, who never underestimated any enemy, had no intention of fishing in troubled waters and ran away early when he was exposed.
Then, his figure jumping up and hiding in a broken house among the ruins was exposed to the eyes of the Japanese captain.
Although he is the same yellow as the Japanese army, he runs so fast, and his pre-prepared tactical evasive moves are so "coquettish". As long as the IQ is not below 50, you will not know that he just The initiator of those tragedies?
There is only one person?
It would be fine if the Chinese sent a small force to attack under cover of night. They had done the same thing a few hours ago.
But just one person, what the hell is he?
More importantly, this ghost succeeded.
Looking back at the infantrymen still lying on the ground not far away, wailing in pain, and the rifle parts lying on the ground, the Japanese captain was definitely as careful as if he had been trampled by 10,000 African buffalo.
It's extremely hurtful and even more insulting.
"Flare, move forward fifty meters! Shoot again! The entire 1st Infantry Team fires to suppress it in the ruins." Matsumoto Naoto's eyes were blood red, and he gritted his teeth and ordered:
"The 3rd Infantry Squadron will set out from the left and right wings to outflank it. Surround it and try to bring me back as many people as possible."
The reason why the 2nd Infantry Squadron was not ordered is because the explosion just now basically occurred in this squad area, so let them count the casualties first! The injured must also be treated first.
So far, all the orders given by Captain Matsumoto of the 2nd Infantry Battalion, which has just replaced the 1st Infantry Battalion on the battlefield, are of textbook-level standards, and no one can find any flaws.
However, the remnants of the 1st Infantry Brigade who had been crippled in World War I did not tell him that the Chinese on the opposite side were very cunning, especially in the dark.
The reason why Lieutenant Kuroda Orizo Kuroda, who had the deepest experience of this, died in battle was not because he had become the de facto infantry squadron leader, Major Toyoda Hide, who really didn’t want to take the blame alone.
Well done, Chinese, that’s all! Let’s turn the 2nd Infantry Brigade into the 2nd Infantry Squadron!
A certain Japanese army major who was awakened by the explosion in the distance stared at this position. Although he felt a little ashamed, he still firmly made such a wish secretly, under the starry sky of Songhu, China.
