Sakata and his men came in an aggressive manner, and the second step of the Dragon Boat Festival plan was officially launched.
In other words, Danwu dug a series of pits for Bantian. As long as Bantian stepped into the first pit, he would fall into the second and third pits one after another.
It was already an hour later when the Sakata Alliance arrived in the northwest of Mount Datou. He was seeing a group of people dressed in civilian clothes still stripping away the belongings of the imperial army.
"idiot!"
Sakata roared, and his vanguard troops rushed over. But when the other party saw someone coming, he ran away without caring about the things he picked up, retreating to the northwest.
The Japanese vanguard troops pursued, but Sakata stopped to check, and saw the corpses of the imperial soldiers everywhere. They were bloody and scattered, and they were all dead. Moreover, some of them had their clothes taken off.
Sakata screamed angrily, but there was nothing he could do.
However, at this moment, some Japanese soldiers found Aso's body. Aso's clothes were stripped off, leaving only a piece of crotch cloth, and the body was tied to a cross pillar.
Sakata almost went crazy when he saw this, thinking that the Chinese were a bunch of uncivilized wild monkeys who didn't understand etiquette at all, yet they treated an imperial soldier who died in battle like this.
But he also didn't think about it, weren't all the innocent people they killed tied to pillars like this?
At this time, they couldn't bear it when only one of them was tied to a pillar. So who would give those innocent people an explanation?
Therefore, the Japanese have always had double standards. No matter how excessive things they have done, they take it for granted, but when they encounter the same thing, they feel that the Chinese are excessive.
Sakata was so angry that he flew into a rage. If his adjutant hadn't felt strange and said: Aso's brigade had the strength of a brigade, but all of them were crushed in just one hour, the Chinese must have a lot of troops in this area. , Sir, should we be careful?
Sakata thought for a while and felt that it made sense. He did need to be more careful. He ordered: "Give power to the headquarters. We need air support. We need reconnaissance planes. First find out how many people our enemies have, and then send bombers. Bombing, I don’t believe that the Dragon Boat Festival is really that powerful and can withstand the aircraft and artillery of our Empire of Japan... Wait, the artillery brigade?"
At this time, Sakata suddenly thought of one thing, which was his artillery brigade and tank squadron. Although he had already made arrangements and ordered an infantry brigade to protect him, this battle made him understand that it was entirely possible for his enemy to annihilate an infantry brigade.
"So?"
Sakata suddenly felt something bad. It was not like the enemy had not finished cleaning up the battlefield, but more like they were left to attract their pursuit, and the opponent was obviously outnumbered.
Thinking of this, Sakata yelled: "We have been fooled. The enemy's target is our artillery brigade and tank squadron. Let's go to support. By the way, send me a signal to the Fourth Infantry Brigade immediately and ask them to ask for it." Beware of enemy attacks."
"Hi!"
Sakata's adjutant took the order and immediately sent an order to call back the pursuing troops and send a signal to the 4th Infantry Battalion to alert them to enemy sneak attacks. A section of the 1st Infantry Battalion plus Sakata's guards and the 5th Infantry Battalion , then quickly returned to defense and moved closer to the Japanese Fourth Battalion.
Sakata felt that if he returned to defense quickly, there was a 90% chance that he would attack the artillery brigade. The enemies of the tank squadron were surrounded and annihilated in the southwest area of Mount Datou.
Thinking of this, Sakata became confident again and ran away risking his life with his men.
Another hour later, gunshots were heard ahead. Although it was only a burst, it was enough for Sakata to laugh out loud with excitement, because he was finally able to catch the cunning Dragon Boat Festival.
"Tell me to go down and catch the Dragon Boat Festival alive when you see it. I want to see who that mysterious Dragon Boat Festival is!"
"Hi!"
The Japanese adjutant went to deliver the order again, and the Dragon Boat Festival must be captured alive.
So the Japanese troops gradually dispersed and prepared to open a huge net to surround and annihilate the Chinese troops such as Duanwu.
I just didn't expect that at this moment, a dozen imperial soldiers suddenly emerged from the woods.
A Japanese officer just wanted to ask what they were doing, but didn't want the other party to shoot directly.
One of the Japs' sergeants was beaten to death, and seven or eight Japs around him also died.
The Japanese soldiers did not know what was wrong and did not dare to shoot because the other party was wearing their own clothes and they were afraid of misunderstanding.
The Japanese hurriedly shouted: "Our own people, don't work with guns blazing."
The other party replied in Japanese: "Baga, a bunch of idiots, we are Chinese, let us kill you little Japanese sons of bitches."
"The Chinese, they are Chinese, shoot back, shoot back!"
The Japanese shouted and fired back with their guns.
But after the opponent finished fighting, he ran back into the forest and disappeared.
The Japanese team leader ordered the pursuit. They passed through the woods but found that no one was there.
They were wondering but didn't expect that bullets came again. It turned out that there were enemies shooting at them outside the forest.
At this time, the Japanese found the target and ordered the machine gunner to shoot at the opponent. The other party retreated after killing and wounding more than a dozen people.
The Japanese thought that the enemy was outmatched and were about to pursue them, but unexpectedly more people came out.
Machine guns and grenade bombardments indiscriminately caused heavy casualties to the Japanese, so they could only report to Sakata.
Sakata was furious and ordered the Fifth Infantry Battalion to immediately surround the enemy and eliminate them on the spot.
As soon as Feiniao Qiong, the captain of the fifth brigade, received the order, he rushed forward with his men.
The Fifth Brigade was at full strength, with more than 1,100 people in the entire group. They were divided into three directions and surrounded their enemy. Under the cover of machine guns and grenade launchers, the opponent quickly fell into a disadvantage. .
After the other party killed seventy or eighty people, they quickly retreated.
Feiniao was proud, because in front of him, his enemy was vulnerable to a single blow, and this time he was determined to capture the Dragon Boat Festival alive.
He was preparing for a full-scale encirclement, but he didn't want to. After a blast, a machine gun position fifty meters in front of him was blown away. This must be done by a gun with a caliber of more than 100 mm.
Asuka was surprised, because the Chinese firepower was too strong, and they only brought four howitzers over 100 mm.
At this time, Feiniao was wondering why the Chinese had such large-caliber heavy artillery, but at this moment, the sharp sound of piercing the air came again, and the imperial army's position that he faced immediately disappeared in an instant. A piece of scorched earth was created, and a large number of imperial soldiers were bombarded to the point where nothing was left.
"Baga, how come the Chinese firepower is so fierce? Where is our artillery? Contact our artillery immediately and ask where they are? We encountered Chinese artillery fire and ordered them to fight back immediately and destroy the enemy's artillery positions. Quickly !”
The birds roared angrily, because if the bombardment continued like this, all of his bird brigade would be reduced to cannon fodder within half an hour! ...
