Chapter 470: Being clever but being misled by cleverness
470 Being too clever may lead to mistakes
Rumble!
This Japanese cavalry squad, consisting of a total of fifteen riders, ran quickly along the mountain road.
However, among these fifteen Japanese cavalrymen, there was one who was very special.
Because, although he was wearing the same soldier uniform as the other Japanese cavalrymen around him, he did not carry a gun.
This person was none other than Lieutenant General Naojiro Amaya, commander of the 40th Division of the Japanese Army, who had fled all the way here from Jiyang.
"Your Excellency, after we pass the mountain pass ahead, let's find a place to rest."
A Japanese cavalry major rode up to Naojiro Amatani and said.
He could see that Naojiro Amatani was not in a very good condition at this time.
They escaped for two consecutive days, riding horses all the way, and experienced many battles with Kuomintang troops.
This was a bit too much for the elderly Naojiro Amatani.
However, faced with this proposal from his officers.
Naojiro Amatani shook his head: "First we need to find our own troops, then we can talk about rest."
At this time, Naojiro Amatani felt very insecure.
He is now surrounded by these fourteen Japanese cavalrymen. It will be dangerous if he encounters the National Army troops.
Fortunately, they were cavalry and ran faster.
Now, Naojiro Amatani wanted to find and join forces with several elite troops that he had sent in advance to break out.
That way he'll feel more at ease.
"Hi!"
Hearing what Naojiro Amatani said, the Japanese cavalry major nodded in response.
A group of Japanese cavalry soon arrived at the foot of Qiaoding Mountain.
At this time, Zhao Dongsheng and his group of hundreds of special operations battalion soldiers were waiting for them on the hillside.
"Haha, the devils are trapped."
Suddenly, a soldier nicknamed Monkey, who was lying in ambush on the hillsides on both sides, roared excitedly.
Then he pressed the detonator in his hand.
Boom boom boom!
In an instant, a series of explosions were heard on the road more than a hundred meters away.
The smoke from the explosion directly covered the mountain road for several hundred meters.
It was as if it had swallowed up this Japanese cavalry squad.
"Come on!"
Seeing this, Zhao Dongsheng immediately rushed down with his men.
At the same time, they fired at the Japanese cavalry at the foot of the mountain.
Not long after, when Zhao Dongsheng and his men rushed to the road at the foot of the mountain, they saw the road was full of potholes caused by bombings.
Also, around these potholes lay the bodies of the Japanese fighters and soldiers.
"Damn it, are they all dead?
What a shame. "
Zhao Dongsheng looked at the corpses all over the ground and said with some regret.
Of course, what he regretted was not the Japanese soldiers who were killed in the explosion, but the Japanese war horses that were killed in the explosion.
At this time, even in Ye Qingshan's army, a good war horse was very scarce.
"Clean up the battlefield and collect the devil's weapons."
Zhao Dongsheng instructed the soldiers around him.
"Damn it, there's no bullets in these devils' guns."
Soon, Zhao Dongsheng and his men discovered that the guns carried by the Japanese cavalry were empty.
All the bullets have been fired.
This is much worse than the situation Zhao Dongsheng and his team encountered in the northern mountainous area in the past two days.
The people Zhao Dongsheng and his men met in the past two days were all elite Japanese troops who were trying to break out to the north.
These elite Japanese soldiers still carried a lot of ammunition.
However, the cavalry squad led by Naojiro Amatani that escaped from Jiyang did not have many bullets left.
After running all the way here, he had already run out of bullets.
If not, Naojiro Amatani had brought a large number of Japanese cavalry from Jiyang.
Along the way, they constantly led away the National Army's pursuers for Naojiro Amatani, and Naojiro Amatani and his cavalry squad could not escape here.
"Sir, there's a situation."
Suddenly, a soldier shouted.
After hearing the voice, Zhao Dongsheng walked over.
"what's the situation?"
"Sir, look, I found an old devil."
The soldier pointed at the body of Naojiro Amatani lying on the ground and said to Zhao Dongsheng.
Zhao Dongsheng also noticed something was wrong instantly.
The other Japanese cavalrymen who died in the battle were all young men.
The oldest one, a major, is only about thirty years old.
However, the Japanese soldier who was killed in the explosion was wearing the uniform of a Japanese soldier, but his face looked to be in his fifties.
This is outrageous.
At that time, soldiers of this age were almost unheard of in the Japanese army.
After all, it was not yet the late stage of World War II, and the Japanese had not yet reached the point of conscripting men in their fifties into the army.
Zhao Dongsheng didn't know it at this time.
The old Japanese soldier who was killed by them was the lieutenant general and commander of the 40th Division of the Japanese Army.
But Zhao Dongsheng was smart and he realized it instantly.
The old Japanese soldier who was killed in the explosion might have been a high-ranking Japanese general.
"We may have killed a large fish, but unfortunately we can't confirm its identity."
Zhao Dongsheng felt a little regretful.
"Sir, there are two Japanese soldiers here who are still alive."
Zhao Dongsheng heard the shouts of the two soldiers behind him and laughed immediately, "Bring them over here."
It's true that when you want to sleep, someone will give you a pillow.
Zhao Dongsheng was worried that he couldn't confirm the identity of the old Japanese soldier who was killed in the explosion.
“Wang Anyu, ask them.
The identity of this old devil."
Zhao Dongsheng said to Wang Anyu next to him.
"Yes."
Wang Anyu then questioned the two wounded Japanese soldiers in Japanese.
As a result, the two wounded Japanese soldiers kept cursing and refused to cooperate.
“Monkey, old dog.
These two little devils are in your hands. I want to see them cooperate honestly in ten minutes."
Zhao Dongsheng shouted to the two trusted veterans behind him.
"okay!"
The two veterans excitedly dragged away the two wounded Japanese soldiers.
After a while, screams like a pig being slaughtered were heard.
Ten minutes later, Zhao Dongsheng stared at the body of Naojiro Amatani on the ground and said with emotion: "Our luck is really good.
The first job he did here was to kill a Japanese division commander.
When the battalion commander and the others find out, they will be so jealous of us."
"Hahaha!"
Everyone laughed.
Wang Anyu kicked the body of Naojiro Amatani and said, "This Japanese division commander is also a smart man.
He also knew to change into the uniform of an ordinary Japanese soldier so that he would not be so conspicuous on the battlefield.
It's a pity that this time the old Japanese guy's cleverness backfired.
If he had worn the Japanese lieutenant general's uniform, he might have been captured on the battlefield.
But he chose to put on the uniform of a Japanese soldier, and ended up being blown to death as you can see in front of you."
"Deputy Zhao, what should we do now?"
Wang Anyu looked at Zhao Dongsheng and asked.
"Send a small group of soldiers, take the old devil's body, and go to the north to find the battalion commander and his men.
The battalion commander and his men have a radio with them.
Let the battalion commander report this news to the headquarters.
The old devil's body must also be taken back, as it is the only evidence in our hands. Otherwise we really won't be able to explain it clearly.
We can’t let people say that our special operations battalion took credit for killing the Japanese division commander.”
Zhao Dongsheng made a decision.
