Major Lin Yixiu was dragged to the riverside and beheaded. The moment his head hit the ground, the war was accelerated.

When the commander of the Kwantung Army, Honjo Shigeru, learned that the envoy had been killed, he was furious and ordered the commander of the 2nd Division, Lieutenant General Jiro Kumon, to lead his troops to Jiangqiao to annihilate the Punitive Army and tell the world the consequences of offending the Empire of Japan.

The Japanese army entered a forced march mode, but they did not choose to take the train. Instead, they divided into four groups and rushed to Jiangqiao from four directions.

Abandoning the train slowed down the Japanese army's march, but Lieutenant General Jiro Kumon did not dare to take the risk. He sent people to investigate the location where the advance battalion of the 16th Regiment was ambushed, and the results of the investigation were full of doubts.

First of all, the railway was not bombed, and no signs of fighting were found around the railway, not even a bullet shell was found.

But the train disappeared without a trace, and only traces of the overturned train were found on the ground. He sent cavalry to search the surrounding area within 30km, but found nothing. It seemed that the train and the advance team had disappeared out of thin air.

This kind of supernatural incident made Lieutenant General Erlang of Jiumen shudder. As a soldier, although he did not believe in the supernatural, he had to be vigilant when the investigation results were in front of him.

So he gave up using the railway and let the soldiers walk, and at the same time reported the disappearance of the train to his superiors for them to deal with.

Lieutenant General Jiumen Erlang was quite cautious. While he ordered his soldiers to march quickly, he also sent out a large number of reconnaissance teams to check bridges, woods, and high ground. He even sent demining teams to explore the way forward in order to avoid possible mines laid by the enemy.

At night, he asked the soldiers to be extremely alert, surround the troops with trucks, let the truck headlights illuminate the outside world, and use light and heavy machine guns to sweep the surrounding environment at all times, leaving the enemy no chance of sneaking into the camp.

The Japanese soldiers on the march were so cautious that Li Jianfeng, who had been waiting for an opportunity, was a little at a loss.

Li Jianfeng originally wanted to use the special forces' physical strength and the portal to severely damage the Japanese army and make them suffer huge losses before they reached Jiangqiao.

But the Japanese's caution made it difficult for him to start. Li Jianfeng gained a new understanding of the Japanese's level of military professionalism.

However, Li Jianfeng felt that since they were already here, it was impossible not to take action. He found a jungle on the side of the road and hid 30 special forces members in it, ready to fight the Japanese!

Not long after, a Japanese three-wheeled motorcycle came from the end of the sight, with a Type 99 light machine gun mounted on the motorcycle.

The three-wheeled motorcycle was driving very slowly, and the Japanese soldiers on it were very cautious. The driver and the machine gunner were both equipped with binoculars, which they kept using to scan the surrounding forest.

Li Jianfeng knew that there was a forward reconnaissance squadron behind the motorcycle. His target was that squadron. He didn't want to alert the enemy, so he wanted to let the three-wheeled motorcycle pass.

But something surprising happened. When the Japanese three-wheeled motorcycle saw a dense forest ahead, it did not continue to move forward, but turned around and retreated back the way it came.

Not long after, under the escort of a Type 89 tank, the Japanese forward reconnaissance squadron pressed into the forest in combat formation.

"Fuck! Do you have to be so cautious?!"

Li Jianfeng cursed inwardly. When these Japanese soldiers encountered a flat ground where they could not ambush, they sent out deminers, and when they encountered a woodland, they sent people to explore. It would not work to launch a sneak attack and cause heavy casualties to the Japanese soldiers. He directly ordered the special forces to launch an attack!

He raised the modified Maxim Tokarev light machine gun, shouted "shoot", and shot when he caught a Japanese soldier with the crosshairs.

Other special forces members also opened fire instantly. Each of them had a Maxim Tokarev light machine gun in their hands. They instantly poured out a huge amount of firepower, and the Japanese soldiers who entered the forest to explore the way were knocked down in large numbers.

But the Japanese were prepared after all. When the gunshots rang out, those Japanese who were not hit fell down and immediately fired back with their Type 38 rifles.

If the Japanese fired back, the special forces members would be in danger of being killed, which Li Jianfeng would not allow. After a successful attack, he ordered a retreat.

Li Jianfeng gave the order quickly enough. After firing less than 20 rounds, everyone put away their guns and ran behind the mountain. Li Jianfeng had already chosen the retreat route before the ambush. As long as they ran to the reverse slope behind the mountain, they would be safe.

The special forces team was very fast and successfully evacuated in 30 seconds without any casualties, while killing more than 50 Japanese soldiers. Logically speaking, this no-cost business could only make money, but they had a lot of trouble finding an ambush site, and only killed a few enemies, which was no big deal to the Japanese army of 2 people.

As soon as Li Jianfeng and his group retreated, the Japanese immediately fought back. The Type 89 tank also turned around and fired the 37mm gun directly at a suspicious location in the forest. Although this small water pipe was not powerful, its rate of fire was extremely fast. The sound of the gunfire rang out in rhythm. If Li Jianfeng and his group ran slowly, they might really be injured by the explosion.

Fortunately, the trees blocked the way and the tank gun did not cause any casualties, so the special forces team successfully retreated.

The Japanese were not having a good time either. Li Jianfeng's special forces tried to harass them several times. Although the casualties were not many each time, no one could bear the cumulative effect.

Lieutenant General Erlang of Jiumen once ordered his soldiers to pursue, but this group of attackers ran so fast that they disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye and could not be caught up at all.

Lieutenant General Jiumen Erlang knew that this should be an elite force selected from thousands of enemies. He heard that Germany was setting up special forces, which had extremely high physical requirements for those who joined. Maybe this group of enemies was one of them.

Lieutenant General Erlang of Jiumen had no way to deal with the enemy's elite troops and could only order the army to be more vigilant, so the army's movement was very slow.

After seeing that the Japanese had become more cautious, Li Jianfeng simply gave up the idea of ​​attacking large numbers of them and turned to attack small-scale enemy forces, such as motorcycles sent out for reconnaissance, demining troops, and scattered Japanese cavalry. He killed them all and ran away after killing them. Even a mosquito leg is meat, and it would be a waste not to eat it. The goal was to make the Japanese panic and slow down their march.

In order to prevent the Japanese from sleeping peacefully, Li Jianfeng asked Li Qinwu to open a portal to transport out several mortars. At night, they sneaked to two kilometers outside the Japanese camp and fired at the Japanese camp. After firing a few shots, they ran into the portal and did not give the Japanese a chance to retaliate.

This really disturbed the Japanese troops. The Japanese soldiers became demoralized. The troops who advanced during the day were killed and they were bombarded by the enemy while sleeping at night. If they set up forward sentries, they might be stabbed to death with bayonets if there were not enough people. If there were too many people, they would be bombarded by mortars. The Japanese were almost going crazy.

However, the terrain suitable for ambush was limited, and the Japanese chose to set up camp on plains whose ends could be seen at a glance, making it increasingly difficult for Li Jianfeng and his gang to launch a sneak attack.

In this struggle, the exhausted Japanese army finally arrived at Jiangqiao on December 12st.
