Anti-Japanese sharpshooter

Chapter 494 Ambush
Chapter 509 Ambush

Kong Jie took a look through the binoculars, and his jaw almost dropped immediately.

On the other side of the river in the binoculars, there were actually many figures.

Although it was difficult to see clearly in the dim night, it was not difficult to judge from their wriggling appearance that it was a devil slowly approaching from a distance.

"Good boy, Duan Peng, are you clairvoyant or downwind? You can see farther than a telescope?" Kong Jie said in surprise.

Duan Peng chuckled: "Master Kong, Brother Dao taught me this."

"It's Jiang Tiandao again?" Kong Jie's eyes were about to fall out: "What kind of abilities does this kid have? How can he teach an apprentice so well? Grandma, I should have tied him up in the first place. It's right in my hands!"

But it's useless to regret, and Kong Jie also knew that even if he was tied back then, he might not be able to tie Jiang Tiandao into his hands.

This guy seems destined to belong to Li Yunlong.

However, although Jiang Tiandao couldn't tie him up, there was someone in front of him who could give it a try.

Kong Jie stared at Duan Peng, and started his own little jiujiu in his heart.

At this time, Duan Peng didn't know that Kong Jie had already made up his own mind. He was still lying there and staring at the devil on the other side of the river.

Coming from the direction of Jincheng is the Maeda Alliance, and the captain of the alliance is none other than the notorious Maeda Xiangye.

Maeda Xiangye had been stationed in the three northeastern provinces for many years. It can be said that his saber was stained with Chinese blood.

And he has not been transferred to the Shanxi battlefield for a long time, so he has not had the opportunity to fight against Li Yunlong's independent regiment.

So for the first time, he was very excited to fight against the Chinese army, which was a headache for the imperial army.

"Baga, Li Yunlong, I'm going to see today, do you have superhuman powers that can make them so afraid of you!"

Maeda Kono's troops were well equipped, not only artillery, cavalry and infantry, but even a tank company, and six tanks followed in the middle of the team.

Maeda Kono did some research on the terrain when he came here, so he knew very well that there was a river passing through here.

Seeing that they were about to reach the bank of the river, Maeda Kono stopped the troops.

"Wait! Don't rush across the river!"

"Commander, why?" The subordinate asked puzzledly, "Didn't Commander Shinozuka ask us to speed up our march and quickly encircle Ping'an County?"

Maeda Kono snorted: "Speeding up is based on the premise of safety. If you don't even know the situation ahead, you rush forward, isn't that going to die? He Shinozuka Yoshio wants to take Ping'an County, I Maeda Kono still wants my life and the lives of my men."

As he spoke, he pointed to the lush sorghum on the other side of the river and said, "Do you see what that is?"

"Sorghum field!" The subordinates immediately understood: "Is the captain afraid that the enemy will have an ambush there?"

Maeda Xiangye nodded: "Such a large piece of sorghum field can at least ambush the troops of a regiment. If the Eighth Route Army ambushed there and suddenly rushed out while we were crossing the river, then we would be in a dilemma. It’s a big loss.”

The subordinate nodded again and again: "The captain is right, forgive me for being stupid, I will send someone over to check now!"

Maeda Xiangye glanced at him: "Check? How do you check the sorghum fields for miles? After you finish checking, it will be dark. What if the military plane is delayed?"

"This..." The subordinate broke out in a cold sweat: "Then what do you mean by the captain...?"

Maeda Xiangye sneered, with a hint of murderous intent on his face: "It's very simple, set fire to that sorghum field!"

The subordinates immediately raised their thumbs excitedly: "The captain is wise, wise, this move is really too high! As soon as the fire passes by, the sorghum field will become a sea of ​​flames. If there are eight roads, it will all be revealed. ! High, really high!|”

Maeda Xiangye looked proud: "Then why are you still standing there? Hurry up and do it!"

"Hai!" The subordinates responded loudly, called a platoon of soldiers, and gave orders.

So, this row of soldiers immediately lit the torches and trotted all the way to the other side of the river.

Behind him, Maeda Kono ordered: "Machine gunners ready! Artillery ready!"

Several heavy machine guns were all set up, and their muzzles were aimed at the sorghum field opposite.

The cannons were also set up, and the artillerymen adjusted their range.The soldiers are also ready to fight.

Everyone's eyes were nervously staring at the other bank of the river, and the sorghum field on the other side of the river.

As long as there is any accident on the other side, the bullets and shells will hit the past in one go.

Everyone watched as the soldiers ran across the stone bridge holding torches to the sorghum field on the opposite side, and then lit the sorghum with torches.

But there was no movement in the sorghum field, and the fire spread quickly, and the whole sorghum field was ablaze.

Maeda Xiangye breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that he was worrying too much, Tubalu's tactical quality was far from as high as he imagined.

It is a pity that such a ready-made condition does not know how to make use of this sorghum field.

"Captain, it seems that there is no eight-way ambush here, can we cross the river?" The subordinate also breathed a sigh of relief, and came to ask Maeda Xiangye for instructions.

Maeda Kono nodded: "Well, let the machine guns go first, no, first the artillery, then the tanks, these heavy weapons must go first, and we must speed up and head towards Ping'an County!"

"Hai!" |
The subordinate agreed and immediately conveyed the order.

So the artillery battalion went first, and the soldiers pushed the heavy cannons and rumbled onto the stone bridge.

Behind, six tanks followed.

This is a large stone bridge built during the Qing Dynasty, which spans the entire river and is 60 meters long.

The body of the bridge is all cast from large bluestones, which is extremely strong enough to bear the passage of cannons and tanks.

Moreover, the cannons walked on the bridge deck, making rumbling sounds, which was extremely spectacular.

But at this time, a few figures quietly appeared under the bridge. They pressed their bodies tightly on the pier, listening to the movement on the bridge.

"How about it, Tiandao? Let's light the fire! The devil is already on the bridge!" It was an engineer company commander of Kong Jie who spoke, and he lowered his voice and said to Jiang Tiandao.

Jiang Tiandao shook his head: "Don't worry, wait a little longer, we're going to blow up all his cannons, as well as tanks!"

Jiang Tiandao had just arrived here, and it was after he arrived that Kong Jie was asked to withdraw his troops from the sorghum field, avoiding the catastrophe just now.

But now, he and a few agile engineers were hiding under the bridge, waiting for the devil's tanks and cannons.

Several bundles of explosives have been placed at the key positions of the bridge piers. As long as there is an ignition, this century-old stone arch bridge will be blown up into the sky.
