Chapter 274: The Japanese Cavalry Regiment
Chapter 274: The Japanese Cavalry Regiment
12 o'clock noon.
"Screech..." The sound of tires screeching as they braked echoed through the valley.
Bai Luo jumped out of the driver's seat with a chicken leg in his mouth.
After finishing the chicken leg in a few bites, Bai Luo felt a cool sensation on her face and looked up at the sky.
At that moment, it started snowing heavily.
Upon seeing this, an idea came to Bai Luo's mind.
At this moment, Silly Bear and Silly Girl also jumped off the back seat of the cat car and came to Bai Luo's side.
Then they saw Bai Luo conjure up five large sacks out of thin air and pile them on the back seat of the cat car.
"Silly girl, drive the cat car with the silly bear to the wasteland ahead. This sack contains remote-controlled bombs. Drop one bomb every 20 meters. The range is 1000 meters on both sides of the dirt road."
"Don't we need to dig a hole?"
Bai Luo chuckled when he heard Sha Ni's question.
He pointed to the sky with his finger.
"Isn't God already helping to bury it?"
Upon hearing this, the silly girl looked up at the heavy snow falling from the sky and nodded as if she understood.
Obediently, it jumped into the driver's seat of the cat car, carrying the silly bear and five large sacks of remote-controlled bombs, and sped towards the open space in front of the valley.
Bai Luo then took out another cat-shaped car from his spatial storage.
We sped along the dirt road toward the woods 10 kilometers away.
Upon reaching the woods, Bai Luo first laid down a large number of directional mines along the edge of the forest, and then laid booby traps inside the woods.
This wave of bombs and booby traps alone cost Bai Luo nearly 3 points.
It was now 5:50 PM. Bai Luo set up a large signal amplifier at the back of the valley to ensure that all the remote-controlled bombs could receive the signal when he pressed the detonation button, and also to enhance the communication distance between Bai Luo and Sha Niu.
Then, a relatively flat area was selected on the reverse slope of the valley, the obstructing trees were cut down, and the medium-sized heavy artillery position was set up.
There were a total of 30 2A36 160mm field guns, arranged in 3 rows.
After everything was prepared, Bai Luo arranged for Sha Niu and Sha Xiong to stay in a depression on the outskirts of the woods, leaving them a cat car and a large number of rockets and bullets.
Their mission was to block the gap in the dirt road that cut through the woods as much as possible, forcing the Japanese soldiers into the woods so they could run away if they couldn't hold them off.
7:25pm.
Bai Luo, who was lying near the artillery position pretending to be asleep, suddenly heard Sha Niu's voice coming through his earphones.
"Xiao Luo, the Japanese cavalry are here."
Upon hearing this, Bai Luo jumped up and immediately asked.
How many?
"Many heads."
Bai Luo: ...
Bai Luo didn't get a specific answer from Sha Niu, so he quickly ran towards the top of the valley.
Upon reaching the top of the valley, Bai Luo raised his binoculars and carefully observed the direction of the forest 10 kilometers away.
Sure enough, the next moment Bai Luo saw the Japanese cavalry advancing through the heavy snow.
However, because it was still snowing heavily, the telescope's field of vision was very blurry, and Bai Luo couldn't tell exactly how many people there were, but judging from the length of the line, it should be no less than a thousand.
"Put it in."
Bai Luo pressed the intercom button and spoke to Sha Niu.
"it is good."
Perhaps due to the heavy snow, the Japanese cavalry's advance was slow. It took them nearly 20 minutes to fully appear within Bailuo's monitoring radar range.
Bai Luo roughly counted that there were more than 1300 heads.
The one leading the group was a Japanese colonel.
However, no other Japanese troops were found behind them; they must have been the vanguard of the Japanese forces.
Bai Luo was speechless. The entire northern province could be considered the Japanese territory, yet they were still so cautious, even sending an advance force.
Bai Luo was now at a loss, wondering whether he should fight or not.
If we attack, the Japanese troops behind us will definitely be prepared, and the first wave of attack will lose its element of surprise.
If we don't fight, letting these Japanese cavalrymen pass through is like planting a landmine behind our own back.
Bai Luo was extremely conflicted for a moment.
But at that moment, Bai Luo suddenly noticed that there were one or two lights faintly lit in the middle of the Japanese cavalry.
Bai Luo immediately raised his binoculars and looked towards the area where the lights were on.
In the middle of the Japanese cavalry regiment, there was a green jeep; the faint flashing light from earlier was from the jeep's headlights.
"Oh dear, could it be the commander of this cavalry unit?"
Bai Luo guessed, but immediately dismissed his guess. The commander of the Japanese cavalry regiment should be the Japanese colonel at the head.
Since the colonel was riding a horse, the person sitting in the car was very likely the commander of the 4th Division, Nakajima Kazutoshi, or some other high-ranking Japanese officer.
Bai Luo guessed correctly. The jeep contained Nakajima Kazutoshi and his adjutant, Nakajima Shun.
Inside the Jeep at this moment.
Shun Nakajima, sitting in the passenger seat, turned to Kazutoshi Nakajima in the back seat and spoke.
"Division Commander, at our current speed, we won't arrive in Er City until after 3 a.m. Is it really necessary to rush like this?"
At this moment, Nakajima Kazutoshi opened his previously closed eyes and spoke.
“Xiao Jun, you are still young and don’t understand. This attack on Er City is an opportunity for our family to rise. If I can handle the mess in Er City, I am very likely to be appointed as the commander of Er City. That way, the family can obtain greater benefits.”
Nakajima Shun nodded as if he understood, but then continued with some concern.
"Uncle, Division Commander, is it dangerous for us to separate from the main force like this? I heard that the group that attacked Er City was quite capable. Not only did they steal special ammunition silently, but they also destroyed two of the Empire's most valued research institutes."
"Won't it be dangerous if we only bring one regiment into the city?"
"Haha, Xiao Jun, let me teach you a lesson. Our family's main business is fishing. Our ancestors passed down a wise saying: The bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish."
Xiao Jun, remember, opportunity and risk go hand in hand. Besides, once the heavy snow stops, the rest of the troops will set off, and they shouldn't arrive in Ershi any more than two days later.
"Hi, Uncle, I understand."
Nakajima Kazutoshi nodded with satisfaction when he saw that his nephew had taken his words to heart.
He then closed his eyes again and pretended to sleep.
Meanwhile, Bai Luo, standing on the hillside, watched the Japanese cavalry regiment that was about to enter the valley, and then looked towards the woods 10 kilometers away, where there was no sign of the Japanese troops behind them.
Bai Luo gritted her teeth and decided to do it.
After making up his mind, Bai Luo pressed the intercom button.
"Silly girl, I'm about to make my move. If any more Japanese troops come, notify me immediately. Also, keep an eye out for any Japanese cavalry that manage to escape."
"it is good."
In a depression outside the woods 10 kilometers away, the silly girl, who was lying on the silly bear for warmth, responded to Bai Luo's words.
He immediately raised his binoculars to observe the movements in the distance.
