Chapter 182 Flashlight Signal
Chapter 182 Flashlight Signal
Yuan Shuai frowned and thought.
"The Japs have engineers, so they must have been cleared of mines. Have you made several minefields?"
"We made three in total. The first minefield has fifteen mines, and each minefield has fifteen mines!"
"That's good. These three minefields should be able to hold off the Japanese until dark. After dark, the Japanese will be afraid of the minefields and will not move forward! You take your men to that hilltop to stand sentry. If you find the Japanese setting up camp, immediately signal with flags. If it's dark, use flashlights to draw circles!"
“What if they keep going?”
"Use flags during the day and move the flashlight back and forth from left to right in a straight line at night!"
"Wouldn't it be great to use a radio? We should have gotten two long-distance radios from the Japanese artillery just now!"
"Don't use it. Once the Japanese eavesdrop, they will definitely find out there are people around and start searching. Act quickly!"
Hu Dacai nodded and left with his men.
Yuan Shuai continued to run wildly with his men, looking for a suitable ambush point.
Just as Yuan Shuai expected.
At this time, after clearing the first minefield, the Japanese did not find any mines after moving forward more than a hundred meters, so they quickly reported the situation to the Japanese brigade commander.
The brigade commander took a look at the sky and quickly ordered his troops to continue the pursuit, hoping to catch up with the team in front before dark.
But who knew that there was a second minefield more than 800 meters behind the first minefield.
The Japanese ran for more than 500 meters without encountering any minefields, and they became careless.
I think Yuan Shuai and the others must have used up most of their grenades.
But just as they relaxed, they had entered the second minefield.
More than a dozen landmines made from Japanese grenades exploded one after another.
More than fifty or sixty Japanese soldiers were killed or injured in the explosion.
The angry Japanese soldiers wailed in pain and cursed.
The Japanese had no choice but to stop again and arrange for engineers to clear mines again.
This time, the engineers did not dare to be careless and directly moved forward one thousand meters.
After making sure there are no mines within one thousand meters.
The Japs began to move forward again.
But this time, the Japs became cunning.
To avoid encountering landmines again and to reduce casualties.
The Japanese brigade commander only arranged one squad to rush at the front of the team.
The team behind was more than 500 meters away from this team.
Moreover, the members of this small team were very sparsely distributed, with each person more than two meters apart.
But even so, the team still stepped on several mines.
Watching the exploding mines kill and wound the Japanese soldiers.
The Japanese behind were so scared that they stopped immediately and had to send engineers to clear the mines again.
And at this time, it was already dark.
The speed at which engineers cleared mines also slowed down.
The brigade commander was also tired.
Not only was my body tired, my heart was tired too.
His engineers had lined up for more than a thousand meters, but there were still mines.
I'm afraid that even if his engineers are deployed for another 2,000 meters, there may still be mines on the road.
Originally he wanted his tank to rush to the front.
But he remembered that the Black Wolf Army used mountain artillery to destroy six of his tanks.
So he didn't let the tanks lead the way.
If he encounters an attack from the hillside, all his tanks will be destroyed again.
Looking at the moon rising in the night sky, he gritted his teeth helplessly and ordered the team to set up camp on the spot and continue the pursuit after daybreak.
Soon, many bonfires were lit along the road.
Some Japanese soldiers gathered around a campfire, roasting themselves by the fire and eating canned food.
On the hillside not far away, Hu Dacai's brothers saw this scene and looked at each other excitedly.
"Brother Cai, our minefield is working. The Japanese have really set up camp!"
"Boss is really awesome! This minefield is really useful!"
"Stop talking nonsense, use the Japanese flashlight to send a signal to the back!"
Hu Dacai urged hurriedly while continuing to aim at the Japanese camp with the telescope.
One of the men ran to the ridge, took out the Japanese flashlight, turned on the light, and drew a straight line back and forth from his left hand to his right hand.
In the distance, Yuan Shuai had already stopped and everyone was taking a break and eating canned food.
The monkey climbed up a big tree, sat on it, and observed the surrounding situation while eating a can.
There was a follower sitting on a tree branch not far from him.
"Brother Monkey, I have a can of food here for you to eat!"
The follower is Gui Jun's brother, about the same size as a monkey.
And he's almost as thin as a monkey.
The two men standing together are about the same size, so this guy likes to be with monkeys.
In order to curry favor with the monkey, the guy handed a can from his pocket to the monkey.
"Damn it, do you want me to become as fat as Fatty? Take it back!"
The monkey didn't even look at him, just glanced around.
"I, I don't mean that!"
"Can you please stop speaking Cantonese? It's hard for me to understand you. By the way, what's your name?"
"Zeng Shanmao!"
"Puff, cough, cough, cough!"
The canned meat in the monkey's mouth sprayed out, and he even choked and cried.
"Real mountain cat, you are just a fake mountain cat, but you are a real mountain cat!"
"Hehe, my hometown and my fellow Guijun brothers all call me Mountain Cat! Brother Monkey, I'll follow you from now on, okay? I'll call you Cantonese!"
The monkey looked back at him, saw that he was still holding the can, and then laughed.
"Put the can back and you will teach me Cantonese from now on!"
"Thank you, Monkey Brother. Thank you, Monkey Brother!"
The mountain cat was so happy that he quickly took out another Japanese biscuit and handed it to the monkey.
The monkey refused again.
But there was a big smile on his face.
Damn fat guy, now that you have a little brother, I have a follower too, hehe!
Suddenly, he discovered the signal from Hu Dacai and hurriedly shouted towards the tree not far away.
"Boss, there's news from Dacai. The devils have set up camp!"
Hearing this, all the brothers were stunned at first, and then they all started to laugh.
"Damn it, they really set up camp!"
"Then our task of delaying time should be accomplished!"
"That's good now. I can have a good sleep now!"
Yuan Shuai shouted at the monkey.
"Draw a circle with the flashlight!"
"Oh!"
The monkey wanted to take out the flashlight, but the mountain cat quickly took out the flashlight first and said.
"Brother Monkey, you take a rest, I'll do it!"
"You kid...Okay, come on, be careful not to fall down, I finally have a little brother!"
"Don't worry, I'm Zeng Shanmao, and I'm really good at climbing trees!"
Bobcat quickly turned on the flashlight and drew a circle.
In the distance, Hu Dacai's men saw this and quickly ran back to Hu Dacai.
"They're drawing circles too? Damn, what does this mean!... Are they also camping? Or are they asking us to stay where we are!"
"Brother Cai, this is an opportunity. We can launch a surprise attack while the enemy is sleeping!"
"Yes, although we are few in number, our weapons are not bad. We have three Czech machine guns, three grenade launchers, a pistol and a rifle for each person!"
"As long as we rush over and kill their brigade commander, the Japanese will be in chaos and will definitely retreat!"
"Captain of the Brigade, Brother Cai, this is an opportunity!"
All the men looked at Hu Dacai with anticipation.
