Dragon Boat Festival and others were still sleeping soundly, but the Japanese had quietly approached.
The Japanese army was divided into two reconnaissance teams and passed through the jungle filled with traps. Although they lost more than a dozen people along the way. Some fell into pits and were stabbed to death with bamboo sticks, some were hung upside down by ropes from trees and then shot to death with crossbow arrows, while others were smashed to death by giant trees because they triggered the mechanism, and so on.
But the stubborn little devil became smarter as he learned.
After they knew there were traps in the woods, they became extra careful.
When encountering an injured companion, as long as he does not die on the spot, he will go up and give him a stab.
This is not artistic processing, but this is how the little devil really treats his wounded. When they were defeated on the battlefield in Southeast Asia, the Japanese would stab their wounded when they found them on the battlefield, just because they couldn't take him away at all, and they were afraid that they would reveal the secret. Therefore, the most dangerous thing about the wounded on the battlefield was not encountering them. The enemy is one's own people.
It was the same at this time, the little devils were afraid that the cries of the wounded would reveal their target. So the Japanese mercilessly killed their seriously injured comrades.
Only then, when they reached the vicinity of the stronghold, they discovered that in addition to traps, there were also thorns everywhere waiting for them.
Gu Qiu transplanted a thorn tree from elsewhere. This tree belongs to the dwarf shrub family and is covered with sharp thorns, and the thorns are poisonous.
Although the poison is not fatal, the wound will be extremely painful after being stung by it.
And the little devil didn't expect that the Chinese actually had biological weapons. How could this happen? The distance from the edge of the forest to the cottage is at least 150 meters, and the thorny thorns are all over it like a maze.
In other words, Gu Qiu didn't just throw in a few casual passes and be done with it, but based on the Five Elements Bagua, he set up a game here.
But what's the use?
It is very useful. If you scatter it twice casually, and the enemy cuts it with a knife or cuts it with scissors, these thorns will have no effect.
But if you follow the settings of the Five Elements and Bagua, you can trap the enemy everywhere at the minimum cost. Even if you cut through a wall of thorns, it will be useless, because the inside is like a maze unless you cut through the entire maze.
So when he saw this thing, the little devil's whole expression was almost not tangled together. How can he live like this?
But even if they can't get through, they still have to get through, because if they don't get through, then they won't be able to achieve the effect of a surprise attack.
Of course, they wanted to make a surprise attack from the front, because a Japanese soldier slashed with a bayonet. As a result, the cane was very soft, like rubber. Not only was it not cut, but it bounced back.
The devil's arm was cut by a sharp thorn, and severe pain spread all over his body in just an instant.
But he didn't dare to call out because after passing through this thorny area, he reached the outer wall of the mountain village after nearly twenty meters of open space.
The outer wall is made of logs with crenellations like a city wall, and there are sentries patrolling the wall.
The Japanese had no choice but to retreat and report to Xiongcun, Kira and Captain Wazuma.
The Japanese scout said: "Your Excellency, there are a lot of traps in this forest. Our imperial army lost nearly one-half before we found the way in. However, when we approached the mountain stronghold, we encountered a maze full of thorns. If you want to enter from here, it will be very difficult. So please show me three of your Excellencies!"
At this point, the Japanese scout stopped talking. He didn't even make any suggestions.
Because it is taboo, as a junior soldier to give advice to a superior, unless your brain is rusty.
Therefore, this Japs is very sensible and just explains the problems that occurred to Xiongcun and others normally, and then just follows the orders.
Xiongcun fell into thinking, but the problem he considered was not how to solve these thorns, but how to persuade Kira and Kazuma to continue taking his offensive route.
Because there were too many casualties in a frontal attack, the scouts he sent before said that his tanks were all in the bottom of the bandits' stronghold.
So if they attack head-on, even if there is a problem in one link, they will become the target of the enemy.
Those were five tanks. When they didn't have heavy weapons, they knew how many people would die.
However, at this time, Kira and Kazuma were ready to attack head-on.
Although they did not witness the condition of those thorns with their own eyes, they could tell from the scouts' expressions and reports that those thorns would be difficult to deal with, otherwise they could just cut them off and there would be no need to come and report.
So the two people wanted to abandon the surprise attack plan and instead attack from the front.
But at this time, they were about to speak, but Xiongcun suddenly said in surprise: "This is great!"
Kira and Hemo were surprised and thought to themselves: "What's so good? We can't get through these thorns, so what are you doing?"
But at this time, Xiongcun said firmly: "Kira-kun, Hemo-kun, think about it. The enemy has laid thorns here. They must think that no one will come here, so they will neglect to take precautions and be attacked by us when we have the opportunity." Cheng, do you think that’s right?”
Kira and Kazuma looked at each other and felt that it made some sense.
But, can this pass? The two of them were still a little skeptical. Because it will be dawn soon, and once it is dawn, everything you say will be in vain.
But Xiongcun had already made up his mind and ordered: "Cut a way out of the thorns for me immediately, and the speed must be fast."
The scout was a little embarrassed, but since it was the commander's order, he had to obey it. But asked for some help.
Xiongcun naturally agreed to them all, but at first, those selected were still very happy. After all, the time to make meritorious deeds had arrived.
But when they saw those thorns, everyone was dumbfounded. How to cut down such a large thorn? Are the thorns growing like a maze?
But in the end, it was the team leader who was more skilled and said: "If we chop at the same time, even if we chop off a piece, it will be useless. What's more, there are sentries on the wall of the cottage, so they will see it."
We divided into two teams and cut off only the thorns on the left and right that one person could pass through. Then as long as we infiltrate, this victory will belong to our Imperial Japanese Army. "
"Hi!"
All the devils took the order and rushed to cut off the thorns.
But this time, everyone wanted to curse, because there was no way to do it, the thorns were covered with thorns, and they were pierced into the flesh, causing a heart-wrenching pain.
But there is no other way. They have to carry out the orders issued by the above even if they die.
The little Japanese held their bayonets almost close to the ground and cut, because there were still sentries from Erlang Mountain on the wall of the mountain village. They could only pray that the fog would not dissipate too quickly, otherwise all their previous efforts would be in vain. In vain! ...
