Chapter 14 Lure the Enemy

Seeing the puppet army rushing up and retreating with a sensation, Gong Teng had no expression on his cold face, nor did he pursue Wei Fucai's guilt of acting without permission, but a grim smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The Chinese were stupid and cowardly, and more incompetent people could save a lot of money for the Imperial Army. Moreover, he also wanted to use the attack of the puppet army to test the enemy's strength.

But if the puppet army died too much, it was not something that Miyato would like to see. After two attacks, he believed that the enemy's firepower was not strong. As long as the Imperial Army provided some firepower support and then let the puppet army attack the top of the mountain, there would still be a chance of victory.

He stopped Wei Fucai's crazy behavior and ordered Wei Fucai to rectify his troops and prepare to attack again. He also directed his men to set up three mortars and several crooked machine guns.

Yang Tianfeng made a plan to hide his strength and show weakness from the enemy. Since the attack on Huangkou Town, he did not pull out all the troops. This time, there were not many troops guarding the hill, only about one hundred people, only two machine guns, grenade launchers, and mortars were left.

Seeing that the enemy at the foot of the mountain was preparing to bombard the enemy, Yang Tianfeng immediately ordered the soldiers to retreat, and his purpose had been basically achieved. There was no need to be bombarded here again.

With a "boom!", a mortar shell came over, blowing the top of the mountain to make gravel and dust fly, and then a "boom!" shot. In the flames, pine branches, stone flakes, and soil splashed everywhere. After a few rapid shots, the entire mountain turned into a world of smoke, and the dust stirred the smell of gunpowder, making people so stuffy that they couldn't even breathe.

"Dadadada..." The machine gun and rifle came as if the rain was drifting. Before the smoke had dissipated, more than a hundred puppet soldiers hunched over and climbed up like flocks of sheep, crawling up while crawling upwards. Several officers wielding pistols kept howling in the team, kicking soldiers...

After attacking the top of the mountain, Wei Fucai's good mood did not last long. There were many broken bricks and rotten wood on the top of the mountain. Not to mention the enemy, even the body was not found. Is this a victory?

Gong Teng stood on a big rock, held a telescope and looked around, and finally stopped. The enemy did not flee to Huangkou Town, but was fleeing separately into the mountains and forests.

Cunning, the muscles on Gong Teng's face hopped twice, and then he sneered again. The commander of the Chinese army was quite stupid and avoided the shelling of the Imperial Army. He also knew that if he retreated directly to Huangkou Town, there was no danger to defend on the road, and it was likely to collapse under the pursuit and attack of the Imperial Army. Can you escape the fate of failure by retreating into the mountains and forests?

"Taijun, the enemy has been defeated, we can go straight to Huangkou Town." Wei Fucai came over and nodded and said with a bow.

Gong Teng shook his head, pointed his hand, and said, "The enemy, and the main force, are running into the mountains, but once we leave, they will emerge again."

Wei Fucai held up the telescope and looked at it, blinking his eyes and asked tentatively: "Taijun, let's go into the mountain to search?"

Miyagi took off his military cap, touched the bald head that was oozing sweat beads, and sneered: "The enemy hid in the mountains and forests, thinking that this would avoid our attacks, preserve our strength, and then wait for an opportunity to harass the place. The idea was very good, but it underestimated the courage and perseverance of the imperial army. We must pursue it relentlessly and completely eliminate or defeat them."

Wei Fucai hurriedly accompanied him to compliment: "Taijun Gao sees that this group of bandits fleeing in panic is a good time to eliminate them."

"Yo Xi!" Gong Teng nodded and ordered: "Wei, you chase from the south, I chase from the north, and when I encounter enemies, entangle them, and then, um—" He made a gesture of closing his hands and then asked: "Do you understand?"

"I understand, understand." Wei Fucai nodded repeatedly and turned to arrange the situation.

Gong Teng was a little worried and drew a squad of Japanese soldiers to follow Wei Fucai's actions. He brought other Japanese soldiers to the rescue and sent more than 100 Imperial Army troops to assist and headed into the mountains and forests.

Logically speaking, Miyato's layout is well-behaved and there is no problem, but he ignored an important problem. It was nothing wrong to divide troops on the flat ground, but this is a mountainous area, and the terrain is very complicated. If you don't consider the actual situation, you will blindly order it. God knows when the encircled troops will be able to successfully detour.

The Japanese and puppet troops set up a formation, and two groups of people pressed forward along the ridge. In order to show more in front of the Japanese, Wei Fucai kept urging the troops to move forward.

Wow, a crisp gunshot echoed in the mountains and forests. Wei Fucai was so scared that he jumped off his horse. The puppet troops in front of the team shot in a burst of gunfire, but no one could see clearly where the attacker was. Only a dead body lying on the ground proved to people that something had indeed happened just now.

This is the power of a sniper. In an environment with dense grass, dense rocks and complex environment, it is not easy to find a well-hidden sniper. Being familiar with the terrain in advance, setting up sniper positions and retreat routes, even a small trench or a small ditch provides great convenience for snipers.

The invisible threat of death is the most damaging to morale. A sniper team composed of Xu Dayan and others specializes in fighting the enemy soldiers walking in front, which is a psychological warfare. After several attacks, enemy soldiers will think that walking in front is a suicide act. Even if they dare not refuse to act, they will become negative and slow, thus effectively reducing the enemy's initiative to advance.

The troops led by Miyato Teng were treated the same way. The attackers, the elusive bullets, and the continuous casualties caused by the casualties. Miyato Teng was furious and had to slow down. He sent a team of pioneers to advance with great vigilance.

Hey, Miyagi kicked a small stone angrily. He hated such a tactic because he could not use the power of the Imperial Army at all.

He hated those despicable and timid sneak attackers, especially after seeing two more soldiers losing their combat power due to casualties. Can't the Chinese army fight in a dignified manner? They buzz around like disgusting mosquitoes, and come up to suck blood when they have the chance, which is extremely annoying.

It is difficult to attack on mountain terrain and requires a great price. Soldiers in mountain warfare must not only attack the enemy, but also bravely face the combat difficulties caused by cruel terrain factors. These conditions require low-level officers to carry out strong leadership, not only to put themselves in leadership activities, but also to be strong enough mentally.
