Chapter 222: Hunting

Just as the little devils' Mortar was set up, ready to open fire on Shen Hua's Battalion.

Shen Hua's Battalion had already begun to retreat long ago.

Therefore, when the little devils' Mortar commenced its bombardment.

The Sichuan Army soldiers on the small highland were already fewer than one company.

"Boom—!!"

Countless shells exploded on the small highland.

Some Sichuan Army soldiers who had not yet managed to retreat were also stunned by the fierce artillery fire.

Even Yanagawa Heisuke on the Aircraft Carrier discovered the sky-high flames at Jinshanwei.

So many Landmines and Explosives had already left the little devils bewildered; everyone only felt a loud explosion in the sky.

"Charge!"

What is going on? How did the Imperial Army troops in the rear encounter Landmines?

Had they not just walked across this area?

This time, Sakai Matsumoto ran like a madman; he was in the front of the formation.

This made Sakai Matsumoto furious, "Baka!"

Yu Hua put down the Telescope in his hand!

It is very likely the Sichuan Army!

At present, the Sichuan Army is also a formidable enemy within the Imperial Army.

Such a great commotion also caught the attention of the little devils left behind on the beach.

"Sound the Charge Bugle for me!"

The little devil regiment began to quickly launch a pursuit of Shen Hua's Battalion.

There were over one thousand Landmines and a full one thousand jin of Explosives.

Upon receiving the report from his subordinate, a joyful smile appeared on Sakai Matsumoto's face.

According to intelligence from the Special Higher Police, the Sichuan Army troops in the Taihu Region.

After the Front-stepping Rear-exploding Mine exploded, it triggered the Chain Mine, Mother-Child Mine, Clamp Mine, and so on.

The happy Sakai Matsumoto waved the Command Sword in his hand.

This regiment of little devils had encountered two explosive attacks and now at least two-thirds were casualties from the blasts.

In everyone's eyes, there were now only two words: battle merit!

Just like that, the little devils had forgotten about depth, pursuing forward almost shoulder to shoulder.

Behind the devil's formation, a Landmine exploded!

Inside the depression!

Sure enough!

Therefore, the huge sound of the explosion.

The little devils blown up in the rear numbered at least five or six hundred.

"Bugler!"

A few bursts of gunfire rang out, and dozens more devils were hit and fell to the ground.

When Sakai Matsumoto led his troops into the Sichuan Army's ambush circle.

Even the Sichuan Army soldiers lying in ambush all around felt their eardrums ache.

Therefore, they were not hit by the explosion.

Now!

Now, wanting to retreat, it is estimated that they cannot get out; his eyes were filled with tears.

Such combat effectiveness is not even as good as the Police Force within the Imperial territory.

That would add quite a bit of luster to his resume.

Sakai Matsumoto firmly believed in the items left behind by the Sichuan Army, thinking this was the Imperial Army's spearhead.

Sakai Matsumoto saw the Sichuan Army troops on the small highland through his Telescope.

He ordered the Sichuan Army soldiers to deliberately throw away some items, such as water canteens, marching pots, and so on.

Shen Hua saw that the follow-up troops had already fallen into the devils' artillery fire.

At a glance, it looked just like a living hell.

Sakai Matsumoto must annihilate it to celebrate the Tenth Army's successful landing at Jinshanwei.

At this moment, flames rolled, continuously Swallow-ing the lives of the devil soldiers.

Everyone was stepping onto the Far East Continent for the first time.

This Minefield was truly bizarre, giving Sakai Matsumoto a headache.

The ambushing assault team held MP40 Submachine Guns.

It is just that among this group of devil soldiers, most were wounded; those truly still able to pick up weapons to fight were estimated to be only seven or eight hundred.

This is a chain reaction; triggering one is bound to affect the whole situation.

These four thousand-plus devil soldiers who came ashore were basically crippled!

They flew into the sky themselves, seeing with their own eyes their bodies being dismembered.

Seeing the little devils give up the pursuit, Shen Hua again had the Sichuan Army soldiers open fire on the devils' formation.

"Bite onto this group of enemy troops for me and wipe them out!"

Immediately report to Sakai Matsumoto.

"Continue the pursuit, bite onto this Sichuan Army unit for me."

Following a loud shout from Yu Hua, the Charge Bugle of the Sichuan Army sounded.

With such a violent explosion, very few Imperial Warriors survived.

Sakai Matsumoto believed that once his regiment crushed the Sichuan Army troops at Jinshanwei.

Once engaged in battle, they would collapse at the first touch and flee in a panic.

The low-lying area was the size of a soccer field.

The Japanese soldiers behind were sent flying and tumbling by the explosions.

In terms of firepower configuration, they were simply inferior to the Imperial Army.

The Sichuan Army had buried a large number of Landmines and Explosives here.

"Yoshi!"

They had already scared the wits out of this army!

When the fleet was sailing on the sea, Sakai Matsumoto had heard officers of the 6th Division talk about the Republic of China Army.

"Unbearable to a single blow... worthless rabble..."

He widened his eyes: "Baka!"

"What is the situation?"

The sky-high flames, like fire clouds, were reflected in the sky.

The evaluation of the Republic of China Army was that their combat effectiveness was low and their will to fight was weak!

Like a volcanic eruption, it resounded through the clouds!

The Japanese soldiers brought by Sakai Matsumoto were all here.

He could only grit his teeth and shout: "Retreat..."

"Brothers... charge!"

"Yoshi!"

More than two thousand Japanese soldiers, under the command of Sakai Matsumoto, launched a pursuit battle once again.

Following behind were the 1st Regiment of the Sichuan Army, as well as Zhao Gongming's Police Force and Security Regiment.

The Sichuan Army soldiers shouted one after another.

The surviving Japanese soldiers now numbered at least over a thousand.

A battalion of the Republic of China Army actually dared to ambush his regiment.

This was to confuse the Japanese soldiers, making them believe that the Sichuan Army had retreated across the board.

"The Republic of China Army is indeed as the soldiers of the 6th Division said."

This was solid, hard-earned military merit, whether for soldiers or officers.

Yanagawa Heisuke widened his eyes, startled by the commotion.

The Japanese soldiers ran like mad, chasing Shen Hua's battalion just like wolves chasing a flock of sheep.

Tanabe Moritake responded urgently: "Your Excellency Commander, I will go and ascertain the situation now."

The triumphant Sakai Matsumoto ordered his troops to pursue with all their might.

Even the Japanese soldiers who were not blown into the sky were wounded or killed by shrapnel.

Lowering his Telescope, Sakai Matsumoto drew his Command Sword and swung it downward.

This Sichuan Army unit before him had poked a tiger's backside, and now they wanted to run?

How could this be possible?

Blown into disarray by the Imperial Army's Mortar, a smug smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The Japanese soldiers ran forward happily, one by one.

"Paoge men never drag their feet."

Charging this time was the 144th Division 1st Regiment, with over two thousand men in the whole regiment, the elite of the 144th Division.

"Move to the designated location!!"

Sakai Matsumoto's vanguard troops discovered items discarded by the Sichuan Army during the pursuit.

Everyone ran fast, scrambling to kill the Japanese soldiers.

"Retreat quickly!"

Such a violent explosion instantly left Sakai Matsumoto's regiment at a loss.

Sakai Matsumoto also saw that the Sichuan Army troops before him were indeed weak to the extreme.

"Boom!!"

Guo Xunqi, through his Telescope!

After seeing this scene, he was also astonished.

Sakai Matsumoto felt that he must give the Republic of China Army a taste of his power.

The Japanese soldiers in front were a bit confused?!

When Shen Hua was moving to the designated location, in order to achieve the goal of luring the Japanese soldiers.

"Kill!!"

The surviving Japanese soldiers were dizzy and disoriented, and everyone had not yet come to their senses.

They began to charge at the remaining Japanese soldiers!

One hundred men of the assault team!

"Fight the Japanese!"

"Let the assault team go for me!"

The Japanese soldiers in front all encountered the Front-stepping Rear-exploding Mine!

Based on the clothing on the other side, Sakai Matsumoto judged this unit before him.

There were no covering troops or rearguard troops left; everyone was now focused on moving forward to hunt down the Sichuan Army.

However, this time, the Japanese soldiers had just run forward less than two hundred meters and entered a low-lying area when they triggered a Minefield again.

Yu Hua wanted to use this time difference to let the soldiers of the 1st Regiment and the subordinates of Zhao Gongming.

Charge into the depression to hunt down the remaining Japanese soldiers.
