Chapter 5o9 Ambush

Kong Jie took the telescope and took a look, and his chin was about to fall off.

There were actually many people on the other side of the river in the telescope.

Although the night was hazy and could not be seen clearly, it was not difficult to tell from their wriggling appearance that the Japanese were slowly coming from a distance.

"Okay, Duan Peng, are you clairvoyant or shining the wind? You can see farther than a telescope?" Kong Jie said in surprise.

Duan Peng smiled and said, "Captain Kong, this is all taught by Brother Dao."

"It's this guy Jiang Tiandao again?" Kong Jie's eyes were almost falling out: "What kind of ability does this guy have? He is so powerful in teaching an apprentice? Grandma, I should have tied him up at the beginning and I had to tie him in my hands!"

But regret is useless, and Kong Jie also knew that even if he tied it up, he might not be able to tie Jiang Tiandao to his own hands.

This guy seems to be destined to be Li Yunlong.

However, although Jiang Tiandao could not be tied up, there was someone in front of him who could give it a try.

Kong Jie stared at Duan Peng, and his little girl began to feel his heart again.

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

The Maeda United came from Jincheng. The team leader was no one else, but the infamous Maeda Kano.

Maeda Kano had been stationed in the three eastern provinces for many years. It can be said that his sabers were covered with Chinese blood.

He was transferred to the Shanxi battlefield for not long, so he had no chance to fight with Li Yunlong's independent group.

So for the first time fighting against this squadron that made the Imperial Army feel very excited.

"Baga, Li Yunlong, I'm going to see today whether you have three heads and six arms that can make them so afraid of you!"

Maeda Kano's troops were well-equipped, not only with artillery, cavalry and infantry, but also with tank companies, with six tanks advancing in the middle of the team.

When he came, Maeda Kano studied the terrain, so he was very clear about the need to pass through a river here.

As he was about to arrive at the river bank, Maeda Kano stopped the troops.

"Wait! Don't rush to cross the river!"

"Captain of the regiment, why?" his subordinate asked in confusion: "Didn't Commander Shinozuka ask us to speed up the march and quickly encircle Heian County?"

Maeda Kano snorted: "Accelerating the speed is based on the premise of safety. If you can't even figure out the situation ahead, just move forward rashly. Wouldn't that die? He Shinozuka Yoshio wants to take Heian County, and I, Maeda Kano, want my life and my subordinates."

As he said that, he pointed to the lush sorghum field across the river in front of him and said, "Did you see what that is?"

"Sorghum field!" The subordinate immediately understood: "Is the corps leader afraid that the enemy will have ambush there?"

Maeda Kano nodded: "As such a large sorghum field, at least one unit can ambush the troops. If the Eighth Route Army ambush the army there and suddenly came out while we cross the river, we would be in a dilemma and suffer a great loss."

The subordinate nodded repeatedly: "The captain of the regiment is right. I am so stupid. I will send someone to inspect now!"

Maeda Kano looked at him: "See? How do you check the sorghum fields of those miles? After you check, it's dark and what should you do if you delay the military plane?"

"This..." his subordinates burst into cold sweat: "Well, what do you mean by team leader..."

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

The subordinate immediately raised his thumbs up excitedly: "The captain of the regiment is wise, wise, this move is so high! After a fire, the sorghum field will become a sea of ​​fire. If there are eight routes, it will be fully revealed! High, it is really high!"

Maeda Kano looked proud: "Why are you still standing there? Why don't you do it now!"

"Hayi!" his subordinate responded loudly, called a platoon of soldiers and ordered them.

So, the row of soldiers immediately lit torches and trotted toward the other side of the river.

Behind him, Maeda Kano ordered: "Machine gunners are ready! Artillery is ready!"

Several heavy machine guns were all mounted, with the muzzle facing the sorghum field opposite.

The cannons were also set up, and the artillery adjusted the range. The soldiers were also ready for battle.

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

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

Everyone watched the soldiers running across the stone bridge with torches, to the edge of the sorghum field opposite, and then lit the sorghum with torches.

But there was no movement in the sorghum field, and the fire soon spread and the entire sorghum field started to burn.

Maeda Kano breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he was over-thinking. The tactical qualities of the Tujiao Route Army were far from as high as he imagined.

I don’t know how to use such ready-made conditions, but it’s a pity that this sorghum field is.

"Captain of the regiment, it seems that there is no ambush from the Eighth Route Army here. Can we cross the river?" His subordinates also breathed a sigh of relief and came over to ask Maeda Kano.

Maeda Kano nodded: "Well, let the machine gun go first, no, first the artillery, next the tank, these heavy weapons must go first, and we must speed up the advance towards Heian County!"

"Hayi!"|

His subordinates agreed and immediately conveyed the order.

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

Behind, six tanks followed closely.

This is a large stone bridge built during the Qing Dynasty. It spans the entire river surface and is fifty or sixty meters long.

The bridge body is made of large bluestone, extremely strong enough to carry the passage of heavy cannons and tanks.

Moreover, the cannons walked on the bridge deck, and there was a rumbling sound, which was extremely spectacular.

At this time, several figures quietly appeared under the bridge. They pressed their bodies tightly against the bridge pier and listened to the movements on the bridge.

"How about Tiandao? Light the fire! The Japanese have already stepped onto the bridge!" The person speaking was a commander of Kong Jie's engineer. He lowered his voice and said to Jiang Tiandao.

Jiang Tiandao shook his head: "Don't worry, wait a little longer, we will blow up all his cannons and tanks!"

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

Now, he and several agile engineers were hiding under the bridge, waiting for the Japanese tanks and cannons.

Several bundles of explosives have been placed at the key position of the bridge pier. With a little fire, this century-old stone arch bridge will be blown to the sky.
