Chapter 1758 Heavy casualties
"puff!"
Almost as Hikari Takahashi knocked the Japanese Captain down, a muffled sound came from behind.
When the two of them fell to the ground and turned their heads to look, they saw that the orderly soldier who was originally behind the Japanese Captain was covering his neck and screaming, and blood oozing out of his fingers.
Seeing this scene, the idiots knew that there was a sniper hidden in front of them.
If it weren't for Hikachi Takahashi's life-sacrificing pounce just now, the one who died would be the Japanese captain on the ground, not his orderly soldiers.
"Everyone has it, scatter! Hidden!" The Japanese Captain quickly issued an order, signaling the Japanese behind him to hide in scattered everywhere, and more than a hundred Japanese quickly scattered and hidden in scattered everywhere.
After climbing to a big tree, the Japanese captain said to Hikachi Takahashi: "Takahashi, thank you."
"The squadron leader is so polite." Takahashi Hikari said, "It's just a slight effort."
The Japanese Captain continued to ask: "Have you seen clearly the hiding location of the Chinese sniper just now?"
"See clearly." Takahashi Hikari pointed at the direction of nine o'clock in front and said, "Nine o'clock!"
"Yo Xi." The devil captain nodded happily and immediately said to the two lieutenants behind him, "Ono-kun, you lead the 1st team to detour from the left wing, Suzuki-kun, you lead the 2nd team to encircle the right wing."
"Squad 3, attack from the front with me and kill this Chinese sniper!"
The entire Japanese squad responded quickly and divided into three teams to encircle them.
Hikachi Takahashi also followed the Japanese captain to make various evasive actions and advanced forward.
The dense vegetation in the jungle, especially those huge leaves, provided good cover for the Japanese army.
So during the rushing process, almost no Japanese soldier was exposed, and the sniper in front did not fire any more.
At this moment, a strange laugh suddenly sounded in the jungle ahead: Hoho hoho hahaha...
Immediately afterwards, a ghostly figure slid down from a big tree with lush branches and leaves, and disappeared into the dense forest in a flash.
"Bagayalu, chase after me quickly!"
The Japanese captain was furious and led the crowd to chase him.
The Japanese soldier, who was originally doing various tactical avoidance actions, immediately straightened his body and quickly chased forward.
While chasing, the two Japanese soldiers rushing in front of Hikachi Takahashi went down without warning.
"Huh? What's going on?" Takahashi Hikachi was still a little puzzled. Will Ono Jun and Matsui Jun escape? Why did they suddenly escape underground?
But the next second, Hikari Takahashi knew that this was not a ground escape technique.
Because he heard the hysterical screams of Ono and Matsui.
Takahashi Hikaru took a few steps and grabbed the approaching of Ono and Matsui. He realized that the two of them had not escaped from the ground, but fell into a trap that was two meters square.
The trap is about one meter deep and is covered with sharp bamboo thorns.
The rubber shoes could not block the sharp bamboo thorns at all. Ono and Matsui's soles had been pierced, and the bloody bamboo thorns were pierced from the instep, which looked scary.
"Ah, ahhhh..."
"My feet hurt so much."
Ono and Matsui were like wounded beasts, wailing shrillly.
"Baga, stop calling!" The Japanese captain cursed in anger, "You have lost all the face of the Xiantai Division!"
Ono and Matsui did not dare to wail loudly anymore, but their faces quickly turned purple, which really hurt.
The Japanese captain groaned and turned around and shouted, "Medic soldiers, get them up, bandage them the wounds, and leave four people to carry them back."
"Hayi!"
...
Anda 23 was so excited this time that he wanted to stop leaving Ishihara Kaner, so although the jungle marching was very difficult, he still kept urging his divisions to speed up the advancement.
Not only that, Anda Twenty-third's headquarters is also very reliable.
The 28th Division had just advanced to the vicinity of Magui, and the headquarters of Anda 23rd had already reached the vicinity of Xinbangwei, which was about fifty kilometers away from Magui. This was almost in line with the other three main divisions of the 27th Army.
Even so, Anda Twenty-three was still not satisfied and wished his headquarters could follow the 28th Division.
After staying in Xinbangwei for a long time, Anda Twenty-three issued a new order, requiring the headquarters to continue moving forward.
Just as the commanders were packing the tent, a communications officer rushed over and handed a telegram to Chief of Staff Nakataro.
After reading the telegram, Nakanagataro's face changed slightly.
"Zhongyongjun, what's the matter?" Anda Twenty-three asked.
Nakanagataro said with a dark face: "Grand Commander, the 28th Division urgently sent a telegram. Their search wing was ambushed by the Chinese special forces, with heavy casualties."
When the Sino-Japanese War broke out, the 17 permanent divisions of the Japanese army and the newly formed special divisions were all four-unit horse-drawn divisions or pack horse divisions, with four infantry regiments under their jurisdiction, one regiment of each processing troops, baggage, cavalry and artillery, with a full force of more than 20,000 people.
However, in actual combat, the Japanese base camp found that such divisions were not flexible enough. The intuitive manifestation was that the reaction on the battlefield was too slow, so whenever it occurred, it would defeat the national army, but it could never form a complete annihilation!
So later, a temporary detachment appeared in the Japanese combat sequence, using an infantry brigade as the basis, strengthening auxiliary troops such as engineers, artillery, baggage, and cavalry to form a rapid strike group.
Later, the Japanese base camp simply began to form a large number of three-unit divisions.
The newly formed three-unit division after 1939 was basically replaced by the search wing.
The search wings are different in combat areas and equipment. For example, the search wings of each division of the Kwantung Army are almost a chariot wing, and the search wings of each division of the Southern Army are actually semi-motorized cavalry wing, which replaces three of the cavalry squadrons with motorcycle squadrons and truck squadrons.
The search wing of the 28th Division is such a semi-motorized wing.
However, since there is no road access from Yangon to Ren'anqiang, most of the search corps of each division left trucks, motorcycles and other equipment in Yangon, and all soldiers were marching on foot, and only the horses of the cavalry squadron were retained, so Wang Xun could hear the neighing of the horses before this.
"The casualties are heavy?" Anda Twenty-three asked, frowning, "How heavy is it?"
Nakanagataro said: "In just one morning, more than 500 casualties were killed or killed in the 28th Regiment!"
"Nani? More than 500 casualties were killed in one morning?" Anda Twenty-three was shocked.
Chapter completed!
