Chapter 364 Ding Wei ambushes and destroys the Japanese reinforcements
"Captain! We are still five kilometers away from our destination!"
At this time, the New 69st Regiment was rushing towards the route that the Japanese th Division had to take.
The subordinates marched quickly while reporting to Ding Wei.
Since the ambush took place in a mountainous area, most vehicles could not be used, and the soldiers had to carry their weapons and equipment on foot and in their hands to move into the mountains.
Moreover, this place is the most suitable place for ambush, and we must arrive here to ambush before the Japanese division arrives.
"Quick! Tell the troops to hurry! We can't let them get through!"
"Yes!"
Ding Wei continued to lead the troops on the march while panting heavily. As the destination got closer and closer, he became more and more excited.
In fact, the bottom line is that I am afraid that I will not be able to complete the task, and there is a huge stone weighing on my heart.
But finally, not long after, the new regiment successfully arrived at the designated ambush site, and Ding Wei finally felt relieved.
"Captain! There's a checkpoint ahead!"
The soldier pointed to the mountain stream not far ahead and spoke excitedly.
When Ding Wei saw that the troops had arrived at their destination, he immediately gave orders that not even a second could be wasted.
"Hurry up and lay mines on the road. Order the first and third battalions to ambush outside the pass, and the second and fourth battalions to ambush on both sides of the mountain stream! We must hold back this Japanese division!"
"If we can annihilate them, we will annihilate them. If we can't annihilate them, we will kill them and not fight to the bitter end!"
"Yes!"
Following Ding Wei's order, the soldiers of the new regiment immediately took action and moved towards their respective combat locations.
Anti-tank and anti-infantry mines have been laid on the route that the Japanese division must pass through. Eighth Route Army soldiers have also been ambushed on both sides of the mountain stream, and heavy machine guns have been set up and aimed at the pass.
The troops outside the pass are responsible for the crucial task of providing a safety net.
They were on high alert, watching their surroundings vigilantly to prevent any Japanese soldier from escaping.
All preparations have been completed, everything is ready, only the east wind is missing - just wait quietly for the Japanese division to step into the carefully arranged encirclement.
Ding Wei crouched in the dense grass like a cheetah, his sharp eyes fixed on the pass not far away. He did not move at all, waiting quietly like a sculpture for the arrival of the Japanese troops.
At this moment, the surroundings were unusually quiet, as if even the air had frozen. No one dared to make a loud noise, and everyone, without exception, aimed their guns firmly at the path that the Japanese troops had to pass through below.
In this suffocating silence, suddenly, a slight sound of footsteps was heard behind Ding Wei.
A signalman quickly ran to Ding Wei and reported in a low voice.
"Commander, the reconnaissance team ahead just sent back a message that the Japanese troops are about to arrive! They are currently only two kilometers away from the pass!"
After hearing the news, Ding Wei's anxious heart finally settled down a little.
After all, after such a long and arduous wait, the enemy finally appeared.
He took a deep breath, trying to calm his turbulent emotions, and then whispered instructions to the signalman beside him.
"Immediately convey my order. All soldiers must be highly focused and our ambush position must not be exposed!
At the same time, make sure the reconnaissance troops report to me at any time the latest movements of the Japanese army!"
"Yes!" After receiving the order, the signalman turned around and left quickly, conveying Ding Wei's order to every soldier.
After watching the signalman go away, Ding Wei slowly turned his head and cast his gaze towards the distant pass again.
At this moment, his heart was filled with tension and anxiety, but also with a hint of irrepressible excitement.
Because no one can predict how the next battle will end.
After all, this battle is of great significance and concerns the direction of the war situation in the entire Lu Province.
Accompanied by the sound of car engines, Japanese troops gradually entered the pipe mouth.
……
"Buzzing..."
The 69th Division of the Japanese Army was driving fast on the road. The Japanese division commander looked at the pass in the distance and felt something was wrong.
"Division Commander! We are only fifty kilometers away from Ji City!"
At this time, the Japanese Chief of Staff reported the situation to the Japanese division commander, and then he observed that there was something wrong with the other party's expression.
"What are you..."
"I'm a little hesitant. I wonder if there's an ambush by the Eighth Route Army at the checkpoint ahead."
After saying that, the chief of staff also turned his head to look at the pass in the distance.
"You mean that?"
"That's right, this pass is too dangerous. If we get trapped here, the consequences will be disastrous."
After hearing the explanation from the Japanese division commander, the chief of staff also thought about this issue carefully.
"What you said does make sense, Commander. How about we go around this place?"
"If we take a detour, it will take a lot longer. I don't know what the attitude of Tanaka Kazuo is. They pushed us so hard before, I don't know if they agree to let us take a detour."
This difficult decision-making problem was like a heavy mountain, instantly pressing down on the heart of the Japanese division commander, putting him in a dilemma for a while.
After all, no matter who faces such a difficult situation, they will probably feel caught in a dilemma.
The choice before him was too difficult: on the one hand, he had to do everything he could to protect the team he led and ensure their safety and combat effectiveness.
On the other hand, they must strictly follow the orders from their superiors and continue to march along the established route...
Weighing the pros and cons is really difficult to decide.
"Should we report the current situation to Commander Tanaka?"
The chief of staff asked the division commander cautiously, with a hint of anxiety and uneasiness in his eyes.
After a brief thought, the division commander nodded slightly and said, "Well...Okay, you can report as soon as possible."
After receiving a positive answer, the chief of staff immediately responded: "Yes!"
However, just as he turned around and was about to leave, a hurried communicator suddenly ran towards him.
The chief of staff was somewhat bewildered by this sudden scene. He looked at the panting communicator with a blank face, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart.
Before he could ask what happened, the messenger quickly stood at attention and shouted: "Report to the general! The superiors have sent an urgent telegram, please take a look!"
After saying that, the signalman did not dare to delay for even a second and quickly handed the document in his hand to the division commander.
Upon seeing this, the division commander quickly reached out to take the document, and then began to read it carefully word by word with a serious expression.
As time passed, the expression on the division commander's face became more and more serious.
When he finally read to the end of the document, he couldn't help but sigh deeply and muttered to himself: "As expected, the higher the rank, the more powerful the person..."
Hearing this, the chief of staff beside him suddenly became nervous. He hurriedly stepped forward, his eyes fixed on the division commander and asked, "Could this telegram be a message from General Tanaka?"
"Ah."
The Japanese division commander just nodded calmly, without any anger on his face.
He had no choice but to carry out the orders given by his superiors.
After all, the checkpoint ahead was just his guess. If he really took a detour and delayed the fighter plane, he would be brought to a military court.
All I can say is... if I'm really ambushed, I'll accept it.
"Damn, I really don't know what those people are thinking!"
The chief of staff cursed a few words, and then the Japanese division continued to move forward.
Not long after, the large army successfully entered the pass.
The car drove forward quickly.
The Japanese division commander stared at the exit directly in front of him, praying that he would not encounter an ambush on this road.
"Right away, I'm going out right away!"
The chief of staff looked at the gradually widening road ahead, and the stone that was weighing on his heart gradually eased.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Suddenly, without any warning, the car in the first row erupted with a deafening roar!
It turned out that a landmine buried deep underground was unfortunately run over by one of the cars, causing this thrilling and violent explosion.
The powerful anti-tank mine exploded with a loud bang, and the terrifying shock wave it produced was like a violent hurricane, sweeping over with a devastating force, instantly tearing those poor cars into countless pieces and sending them flying high into the sky.
Immediately afterwards, these shattered debris fell like raindrops, hitting the ground and raising a cloud of dust that covered the sky.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Hide quickly!" It was not until this moment that the Japanese soldiers who were still immersed in the march woke up from their dreams and shouted loudly in horror.
However, it was too late. As they panicked and fled, countless bullets and shells rained down on them.
The whistling mortar shells fell like deadly demons into the center of the crowded crowd, then suddenly exploded, blooming into flowers of death.
In an instant, flames shot up into the sky, smoke filled the air, blood and flesh flew everywhere, it was a horrific sight.
The Eighth Route Army soldiers who had been lying in ambush on both sides of the mountain stream seized the opportunity and without hesitation pulled the trigger at the Japanese troops in the middle, starting an almost crazy shooting.
At the heavy machine gun position, the black muzzle continuously spewed out blazing flames, and dense rain of bullets, wrapped in endless rage, shot into the bodies of Japanese soldiers at lightning speed.
In just a blink of an eye, large numbers of Japanese soldiers fell down in large numbers like harvested wheat, and their blood dyed the ground beneath their feet red.
In just this short period of time, the road below was littered with Japanese soldiers' corpses, broken limbs and arms were everywhere, and blood was flowing like a river.
All the shells and bullets poured into the Japanese troops, making it a hell on earth.
