Predator Reborn

Chapter 564: Running out of ammunition and food!!

The commander-in-chief Lieutenant General Sato's mystery is definitely bad news for the Japanese army that is surrounded by heavy siege after a night of losses. To a certain extent, it severely hits the little Japanese who are not originally capable of fighting.

High morale... Facing the 40,000 troops with low morale, and the division commander who was in the process of rescue. The helpless chief of staff of the division had no choice but to issue an order for the troops to return to the county seat and wait for the division commander to wake up...

Finally, half an hour later, under the rescue of military doctors, General Sato, who had fallen into a coma, slowly woke up from his coma... Looking at the anxious chief of staff next to him, Lieutenant General Sato used his weak voice.

commanded.

"Chief of Staff, no matter what, our 40,000 heroic Imperial Army soldiers must return to the Mengshan area to support the Imperial Army soldiers who may be wiped out at any time. Order the troops to return to the county seat immediately to rest and replenish their physical strength.

Order all engineering troops to leave the city immediately for demining, and a safe passage must be opened before dawn..."

"Hai, please rest assured, division commander. I will go and issue the order right away... You must take good care of the division commander, otherwise, you will die..." After saying that, the chief of staff hurried out of the temporary

Headquarters…

Ten minutes later, groups of engineering troops rushed out of Baishan County with various mine detection equipment. Following Lieutenant General Sato's order, they began to conduct mine detection from several directions at the same time, hoping to detect mines in the shortest possible time.

Clear a safe passage...

Although, with the efforts of a large number of engineering soldiers, the iron mines buried on the road were dug out by these engineers. However, the large number of ceramic and stone mines mixed in the iron mines gave these mines little combat effectiveness.

The engineers caused huge damage...

An hour passed. Facing the dense mines on the ground, various engineering units advanced several hundred meters. However, in the explosion of a large number of non-iron shell mines, hundreds of engineering units lost their weapons.

Life may have been lost, and the most basic combat effectiveness has been lost, making it impossible to continue demining...

Of course, such losses can only be said to be insignificant to the Japanese army with two engineering regiments. However, hiding around the county, they are like hungry wolves, who are ready to pounce and bite them fiercely.

Of course, the special operations team members who fell for the little devils would not let these little devil engineers continue to be so arrogant and remove the landmines they had worked so hard to lay.

As a result, in order to hinder the Japanese army's mine clearance, the 40,000 Japanese soldiers in the county were trapped in Baishan County, forcing them to the point where they ran out of ammunition and food. The special forces hidden among the mines, under Liu Xiaogang's orders

, like a sharp sword unsheathed, began to launch a large-scale counterattack against the Japanese engineering troops protruding from the county seat...

Suddenly, intense bursts of gunfire, shell explosions, and machine gun fire began to sound outside Baishan County... Under the attack of more than a thousand special forces members of the special operations brigade, the casualty rate of Japanese engineers began to rise sharply.

Within an hour, the two engineering regiments had suffered more than half the casualties. And the progress of demining had to be stopped...

As for the remaining engineering regiment, faced with attacks everywhere, they could only clear mines in fear, or they could simply stop and ask for cover from the infantry...

"Baga, cowards, the engineers and soldiers are all a group of cowards. As elite soldiers of the Imperial Army of the Japanese Empire, they are afraid of attacks by the Chinese, Bagaya Road..." After receiving the report from the captain of the Engineer Regiment, after more than an hour

After being nursed back to health, Lieutenant General Sato, whose body slowly returned to normal, couldn't help but roared loudly. He slapped himself mercilessly on the faces of the two captains in front of him...

"Bah bang bang..." After a series of slaps, the two captains lowered themselves in shame at the same time. They were about to be beaten into pig heads and said nothing.

"Your Majesty, Division Commander, please calm down, it's all the Chinese who are too cunning. In the sporadic exchange of fire for more than an hour, although our army dispatched a large number of infantry to attack, not only did it not achieve any effect, but one infantryman was lost.

The strength of the brigade. Therefore, I think that if this continues, the engineer regiment will be completely lost in less than a few hours. Please tell me, the division commander..." In the quiet headquarters, the chief of staff said...

"However, Chief of Staff, if there is no need for the engineering team to clear mines, then tell us how we can get out of this huge mine formation and return to the Mengshan area..." After a brief reflection, Lieutenant General Sato nodded.

, continue to ask...

"Artillery fire, Your Excellency, division commander, we can completely use artillery fire to open a path. Use artillery shells to blast a safe passage in front of us..." the chief of staff said with a look of certainty...

"Yoshi, very good. Now I am ordering you to assemble all the artillery units in the army and use artillery shells to open a safe passage with a width of no less than ten meters directly in front of us. We will execute it immediately..." Lieutenant General Sato

He nodded, nodded affirmatively and ordered...

"Hai, your Excellency the division commander..."

Immediately, as one artillery unit after another began to assemble, the entire Baishan County immediately became lively... Finally, after an hour of assembly, nearly a hundred artillery pieces of various calibers were all gathered at the city gate.

On the artillery position, preparations were made to fire...

"Yo Xi, the Imperial Japanese Army is invincible. China's mines will never stop our charge. Tell the artillerymen that the lives of our 40,000 Imperial Japanese Army depend on you. I hope you will

Don't let us all live up to our expectations. Start the bombardment..." Looking at the nearly a hundred artillery guns outside the city with their muzzles raised, Lieutenant General Sato felt much better and said to the chief of staff in front of him...

"Boom, boom, boom..." Suddenly, bursts of huge roars and explosions of artillery shells began to sound outside the city... On the road in the middle of the mine array outside the city, huge balls of fire immediately appeared... Nearly a hundred doors

The artillery, facing the road in front of it, poured tons and tons of shells onto the road in front of it at its fastest firing speed...

Amidst the explosions of countless artillery shells, landmines were detonated instantly... Just like that, as the fierce artillery fire slowly extended forward, a safe passage after the explosion of countless artillery shells appeared in front of the little devil...

"Damn, the kid is so cunning, he even thought of using artillery fire to open a road... It's a pity that so many landmines on the road were detonated by the kid's artillery fire..." Looking at the fierce artillery fire on the road, the deputy captain

Wang Hong sighed and said to Liu Xiaogang beside him...

"Haha, let the little devil blow it up. I don't believe that the few artillery shells the little devil carries with the army can penetrate the entire mine array. Captain Wang, don't we still have thousands of mines as backup? Tell the soldiers

Let's take out a thousand landmines and bury them all on this highway. Today, I'm going to see if the Japs have enough artillery shells or if we have too many mines..." Liu Xiaogang said with a sneer on his lips...

"Captain, you are still thoughtful. According to our reconnaissance, the Japanese artillery unit, in order to speed up its march, only carried less than two basic shells with the army at most. If the battle continues like this, it will take less than half an hour.

, The little devil’s artillery shells must be used up... I will give an order right now to let everyone continue to lay mines..." Wang Hong replied with a smile on his face.

Hundreds of special operations team members were in the front, laying landmines as fast as they could. The Japs' artillery fire was in the rear, constantly using shells one after another to detonate various mines buried underground...

Just like this, in this process of chasing each other, time passed by minute by second... The result of the matter was exactly as Wang Hong said, the little devil's artillery shells were almost exhausted... With half an hour of continuous shelling

Continuing, except for dozens of infantry cannons, which are still working hard to pour out fewer and fewer artillery shells, the mountain artillery and field artillery have all stopped...

"Division Commander, so far, all the mountain artillery and field artillery shells have been used up, and there are not many infantry artillery shells left. After half an hour of shelling, the artillery unit successfully opened up a long line in front of us.

There is a safe passage of about three kilometers. If nothing happens, the troops should be able to pass through. But..." As the rumbling sound of artillery slowly stopped, the chief of staff said to the silent division commander in front of him.

"Just what?" Sato frowned and asked...

"It's just that after half an hour of shelling, the entire road is full of craters. Our various artillery will not be able to pass..." the chief of staff replied...

"Anyway, the artillery shells have been used up. These artillery pieces are also a burden for us. Now I order the 32nd Infantry Regiment to stay and be responsible for defending Baishan County and guarding all the heavy artillery of the division. The remaining

The troops under the command will set off immediately to return to the Mengshan area..." After a brief thought, Lieutenant General Sato decisively ordered...

In this way, more than 30,000 lightly equipped Japanese troops stepped on the craters of varying depths and once again embarked on their own road to return to aid... And were there really no landmines on the road ahead of them? The answer is no.

of…

Just as the Japanese artillery fire subsided, the special operations team members hiding in the surroundings used their fastest speed to place landmines one by one into the craters caused by the Japanese artillery shells, plus a thick layer of floating soil.

It was buried on the road. Then, along the retreat route arranged in advance, he quickly exited the dense minefield...

Sure enough, less than a few minutes after the soldiers had just pushed out of the minefield, there was another huge explosion on the road behind everyone... With the sound of the explosion, the mighty march of the little devils

The column stopped again...

"What's going on? Why are there landmines..." Lieutenant General Sato was the first to react when he heard the explosion and asked.

"Division commander, it must be a landmine that was missed during the shelling." A regiment commander quickly replied...

"Yoshi, order the troops to continue moving forward. They must pass through this minefield in the shortest possible time..." | Lieutenant General Sato nodded with deep understanding, and then ordered...

Immediately, the team that had just paused began to move again. However, what made Lieutenant General Sato feel desperate again was that in the next few minutes, several landmines appeared again, almost a small group of the imperial army

The soldiers lost their combat effectiveness as a result...

Faced with such huge casualties, and facing more and more landmines on the road full of bomb craters in front of them, the Japanese advance troops had to stop and wait for the latest order from Lieutenant General Sato...

"Baga, why are there so many landmines ahead? Didn't you just go through the shelling? Why are there so many landmines? Chief of Staff, what is going on..." After hearing the report from the captain of the avant-garde squadron, Mr. Sato

The general stared at himself and asked the chief of staff in front of him...

"Division Commander, I don't know...According to the density of shelling just now, no matter how dense the Eighth Route Army lays mines on the highway, they will all be detonated...Please calm down, Division Commander, I will send someone to investigate right away."

I believe there will be news coming soon..." Under the glare of division commander Sato, the chief of staff was excited and quickly replied...

More than twenty minutes later, while everyone was waiting anxiously, an engineer squadron leader who was sent out to investigate the situation finally ran back panting... Under everyone's anxious gaze, the engineer squadron leader had no time to take a breath.

Speaking of which…

"Sir, after investigation, various landmines were once again densely planted on the road in front of the troops. However, these mines were just laid after the shelling, using the various craters created by the shelling..."

"What, the landmines just laid... In other words, there is always a Chinese army around us, monitoring our every move... Baga, order the troops to deploy on the spot, and we must find the enemies hidden around us.

..." Through the answer of the engineer squadron leader, Lieutenant General Sato immediately reacted and ordered loudly...

However, after half an hour of searching, not only did the various units fail to achieve any results, but they once again suffered hundreds of casualties under the attack of ubiquitous landmines on both sides of the road...

Facing the troops who had returned in vain and suffered heavy losses, he saw around him, in the pitch-black night, the mines hidden low, seemingly with their mouths open, waiting for the death of each imperial soldier.

At this time, Lieutenant General Sato, who really had no choice, finally shook his head helplessly. Then, he ordered the troops to return to the county seat, and after dawn, make a specific decision...

As a result, the nearly 10,000 little Japanese who had just left the city less than two kilometers away were forced to change direction and returned to Baishan County, this deserted county...

"Captain, the little Japs have retreated, and they have retreated back to the county seat..." Wang Hong looked excited when he saw the Japanese troops leaving in a majestic manner. When he saw the highway that was very busy just now, it became deserted in the blink of an eye.

said…

"Well, the little devil has five routes to go. I want to wait until dawn before making a decision... Notify the troops to mine the road that the little devil has just blown up. You know, all the roads in the entire Baishan County

We have buried all the wells. One day later, when these little devils find that they have no water to drink, I don’t know what will happen to them. And what kind of expression will the little devil Lieutenant General Sato have on his face...

." Liu Xiaogang said with a sly smile...

"It goes without saying that the little devil Sato must be the first to kill us... But, captain, it would have been better if we had buried several thousand kilograms of explosives under the county seat. Then, after an explosion,

These 40,000 little devils will go directly to the King of Hell..." Wang Hong said with a murderous look on his face...

"It's not that easy. On the one hand, we don't have that much time. On the other hand, the entire Baishan County is full of solid stone roads, and we don't have the ability at all. Besides, what we are facing is the most elite Japanese army in Kanto.

Army troops. Okay, hurry up and lay mines. By then, these little devils will be wiped out by us without food and water..." Liu Xiaogang sighed, and then ordered...

"Captain, don't worry. I guarantee that within a few days, these 40,000 little devils won't even be able to pick up a gun..." Wang Hong replied confidently, turned around and disappeared into the dark night.

middle…

The night ended quickly, and just as dawn was about to arrive the next day. Lieutenant General Sato, who was extremely worried about the arrival of his troops, immediately climbed onto the wall of Baishan County...

He raised the telescope in his hand, and the road that had been shelled all night suddenly appeared in front of him. After being baptized by tens of thousands of shells, it turned out to be a very smooth road. At this moment, it was covered with countless large and small roads.

Various craters. As for the khaki road, at this moment, it has turned into burnt black...

And on this charred black road, and even in the fields and woods on both sides of the road, the corpses of Japanese Imperial Army soldiers were scattered here and there, looking very desolate. With a gust of cold wind,

As it blew by, the thick thatch in the fields outside the city kept swaying in the cold wind, making a rustling sound... Lieutenant General Sato, who was standing on the city wall, couldn't help but shiver...

"Chief of Staff, if nothing else happens, we will now be trapped in Baishan County by the ubiquitous landmines..." Division Commander Sato muttered to himself...

"Division Commander, our army now has sufficient ammunition. As long as our army can persist long enough, I believe that our engineering troops, even using manual demining methods, can open a safe passage..." Faced with this moment

, the morale of the troops was low. In addition, the division commander, Lieutenant General Sato, also lost confidence in his future. For the sake of the 40,000 Japanese troops, the chief of staff had to muster up courage and practice gun training to show a confident look...
