Bright Sword: Japs, times have changed
Chapter 6: Diverting trouble to others, something bad is going to happen!
Less than half an hour after the team retreated, the Japanese vanguard arrived at the ambush point. The team leader said a lot of things and then sent a Japanese soldier to report the situation there.
By the time Ono Jiro arrived with a large army, the rocks had stopped falling from the cliff.
Looking at the blocked road, Ono gnashed his teeth in anger, drew his command knife and shouted angrily: "Blast the road open at all costs!"
In his heart, wiping out the main force of the Eighth Route Army has become an obsession.
With a series of "Baka" sounds, the Japanese engineers quickly deployed the bombs. When the troops retreated to a safe area, the deployed bombs exploded at the same time.
But after one round of explosions, the effect was minimal.
This was completely different from the explosion created by Lin Qiang. He only used a few grenades to easily blow up the rocks. That was because there were already cracks in the mountain, and he was just adding fuel to the fire.
But it was not easy for Ono to use bombs to blast a road through the piles of huge rocks.
The huge explosion sounded throughout the valley again. Lin Qiang and his team heard the explosion before they reached the back mountain.
Hu Zi withdrew his gaze with lingering fear and jokingly said, "It's a pity that we retreated early, otherwise, if we had all of us together, we would have been able to cause such a huge explosion!"
The explosion just now was three kilometers away from where Lin Qiang and others were now. Even so, everyone could still clearly feel the slight tremor of the ground!
Qiangzi also said with a hint of fear: "How many devils came this time? Judging from the noise, it doesn't seem like it could be caused by a mortar!"
Except for the newly joined soldiers in the village, people like Hu Zi are all veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time. They have suffered many mortar bombardments and Type 92 infantry guns from the Japanese. That is why they can tell that the movement is not artillery fire just by the sound.
The veterans were fine, to put it bluntly, they were used to bombings, but it was different for the new recruits. They encountered such noise on the second day of joining the army, and they couldn't help but feel scared.
Lin Qiang noticed the change in their expressions and quickly said, "Those huge rocks we just blew up are enough to make the Japanese spend a lot of time. They won't be able to be blown away in a short time. The most urgent thing is to evacuate the villagers on the mountain."
The new recruits felt a little better when they learned that they would not be engaging in a firefight with the Japanese for a while.
They were worried about themselves, but more importantly, they were worried about their relatives in the village. The reason they were willing to join Lin Qiang's team was that they did not want to see the village that raised them being destroyed by the Japanese.
A newly joined warrior from the village calmed his inner anxiety and said tremblingly: "There is another road behind the mountain. After going down the mountain and heading south, you will enter Dagu Mountain."
Dagushan?
Isn’t that Chu Yunfei’s defense zone?
After listening to the soldier's words, Lin Qiang spoke for a while and said, "Since we can evacuate, let's do it as soon as possible!"
After receiving the order, several recruits smiled and took the lead in retreating up the mountain.
Hu Zi and Qiang Zi stayed behind. After all the soldiers had gone up the mountain, Hu Zi said worriedly, "Platoon Leader, this may not sound nice, but I must say this. Our relationship with the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army hasn't been very good lately. Although we're in the same battle order, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army doesn't think highly of us. Dagu Mountain is the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army's defense zone. If we rush in, will there be any misunderstandings?"
If the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army stationed in Dagushan was not the 358th Regiment, Lin Qiang might have hesitated, but that was Chu Yunfei's team, so there was no need to worry about causing any misunderstandings.
There are different factions, but the goals are the same.
Lin Qiang waved his hand and smiled, "Just listen to me, there will be absolutely no problem."
Since joining the army, Qiangzi has been following Lin Qiang's men. There has been a doubt in his mind for a day. He always feels that his platoon leader has become a little different, but he can't put his finger on it.
Although he had doubts in his heart, he had no doubt about Lin Qiang's orders.
For example, just now, all preparations for the ambush were made, but Lin Qiang gave the order to retreat because of a single sentence. At first he thought that the platoon leader was afraid of death, but now it seems that he was the one who was simple-minded.
Lin Qiang patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Save what you want to say until we are safe."
"Yes!"
Qiangzi smiled knowingly. The platoon leader was still his platoon leader. No matter what changes happened, this would never change.
Lin Qiang and his two companions were nearly five minutes behind, but when they reached the top of the mountain, they found that the soldiers and villagers had not evacuated and were all gathered on the top of the mountain.
At this time, a huge explosion was heard again, making Lin Qiang feel anxious. Those huge rocks could indeed stop the Japanese, but they could not stop them for too long. Every second they stayed would increase the danger.
After finding the soldier who had spoken before, Lin Qiang finally understood the current situation. The road going down the back mountain was very steep. It was no problem for people to walk, but some large livestock could not go down the mountain.
A few cows and a few pigs are treasures that the villagers are reluctant to part with.
There was no way. The system had already prompted that living things could not be stored in the space, and Lin Qiang had no way to help his fellow villager.
Fortunately, after a brief persuasion, the fellow pushed the cows and pigs off the cliff with tears in his eyes.
Lin Qiang also wanted to get rid of these cows and pigs, but he couldn't explain how he had put hundreds of kilograms of meat. He could only watch and listen to the howling of the livestock as they fell freely.
The howling made Lin Qiang's heart bleed!
There was no time to worry about so many things at the moment, so Qiangzi took the lead in exploring the way, and the soldiers helped the villagers carry supplies down the mountain.
Lin Qiang, Hu Zi and a few others stayed behind to cover their retreat, just in case.
It was not until the cuckoo's call was heard from the bottom of the mountain that Lin Qiang let Hu Zi and several soldiers retreat down the mountain.
He took a few grenades from his waist and set up a few tripwire mines on the road leading to the top of the mountain. He didn't expect to kill many Japanese soldiers, but he would be satisfied as long as he could delay them for a while.
Little Japs, take your time bombing, I'm going to run away first!
The team retreated all the way south after coming down from the mountain. During this period, Lin Qiang sent out scouts, who helped them avoid several Japanese squads without any danger.
Whenever he encounters one, he will choose to avoid fighting. Even if there are no civilians in the team, Lin Qiang will not choose to ambush.
From the distance between the Japanese troops, it was obvious that there was a large force behind them. Once a firefight broke out, it would be almost impossible for them to escape unscathed.
What Lin Qiang has to do now is to divert this disaster to Chu Yunfei.
Isn't your Shanxi-Suiyuan Army trying to avoid a head-on confrontation with the Japs?
Don’t you, Old Man Yan, want Chu Yunfei to stay put?
I won't let you get what you want!
I just don't believe that even though the Japanese were right in front of him, he could still persuade Chu Yunfei not to engage in a firefight with them after making such a great contribution.
If that's the case, then I'm not the only one who traveled through time. Chu Yunfei has also been replaced.
Lin Qiang didn't believe that something like this would happen.
The team continued to advance deeper into Chu Yunfei's defense zone until they were stopped by the forward observation post of the 358th Regiment. Only then did Lin Qiang and others stop.
"stop!"
The sentry pointed his gun at Lin Qiang and the others with great vigilance and asked sternly, "What are you Eighth Route Army soldiers doing in our Shanxi-Suiyuan Army's defense zone? Could it be that you are the Japanese in disguise?"
Kaka!
Three Shanxi-Suiyuan soldiers armed with submachine guns pulled the bolts of their guns. As long as there was anything wrong, they would shoot without hesitation.
This action frightened the people. Lin Qiang quickly reached out to stop Hu Zi and others who were about to raise their guns, saying, "The situation is urgent now. I just hope you can get the people to a safe place."
The sentry confirmed again and again that except for a few children, the rest of the people were women and the elderly, and only a few young and middle-aged people had joined Lin Qiang's team.
Seeing no suspicious people, the sentry did not dare to make a decision on his own, but he did not refuse Lin Qiang's request: "They can stay here until the regiment headquarters gives the order, but you can't."
Lin Qiang felt that he had achieved his goal by ensuring the safety of the people. He thanked them several times before leaving with his team.
But before leaving, Lin Qiang asked, "Comrade, could you please let me know where those people will be accommodated? Don't get me wrong, I'm asking on behalf of my brothers. Those are their relatives. If I know where they are, they'll be able to find a place to visit them in the future."
There was no other way. After all, he needed help from others, so Lin Qiang had to act a little weak.
Besides, he's going to do something bad soon, so he has to show some kindness no matter what.
The sentry thought about it and suggested a place: "If the regimental commander agrees, these people will be arranged to Dagu Town."
Good place!
Just by hearing the name Lin Qiang knows it is a good place!
Now I have a perfect reason to enter Dagu Town openly!
"Thank you!"
Lin Qiang left quickly with his team without saying a word.
One kilometer away from the observation post, Lin Qiang encountered a small squad of Japanese devils.
This time they did not choose to avoid the battle. They asked the four soldiers carrying heavy machine guns to retreat first according to the predetermined route, while Lin Qiang led the team to retreat to the observation post while fighting.
