I really came here to fight against Japan

Chapter 583: The Peninsula Soldiers of Kato's Detachment Take the Lead

Three days later, Staff Officer Zhao, who had done a great deed, had already passed on the message.

The Japanese conspiracy was obvious, and the tragic fate of the Peninsula soldiers was imminent.

These Japanese soldiers from the 77th Division don’t know this yet.

Their plot to massacre Kato's detachment had already been discovered by these ants in their eyes.

The team moved forward slowly, both sides gathering strength, one preparing to flee, the other preparing to kill.

The Japanese were very evil. They divided these Peninsula soldiers into two groups, one in front and one behind.

The Japanese plan was to first massacre all 5,000 soldiers who were only armed with wooden sticks in the Wild Wolf Valley.

Tell the soldiers transporting supplies in the back that there was an ambush of the Eighth Route Army ahead and that they had been eliminated.

Then they tricked the Peninsula soldiers into putting down their baggage and entering the Wild Wolf Valley to clean up the corpses.

Once these two thousand people enter the Wild Wolf Valley, the Japanese will be able to achieve their wish and kill all the Peninsula soldiers in the Kato Detachment.

Captain Kato was very annoyed. He was like an emperor when he led the detachment.

This is a lucrative job. All the spoils captured by these Peninsula soldiers after the raid will be handed over to him for review.

They used to be quite docile, but who would have thought that they would start killing their master just for a bite of spicy cabbage.

More than one hundred Japanese officers were beaten to death by them.

They even refused to hand over Song Yincan, the leader of the beating.

Although more than 1,500 people had been killed, the division commander was still not satisfied.

You must know that according to the rules, any dog ​​that dares to show its fangs to its owner must be put to death.

No matter how obedient and docile this "beloved dog" was before.

But they can't just kill people so blatantly, as there are many people watching them here.

In this case, let’s arrange for them to be “loyal” to His Majesty the Emperor!

Then, under the guise of the Eighth Route Army or the National Army, kill them all.

As for the fate of Captain Kato, the division commander has already thought about it for him.

The reason why he was allowed to retire instead of committing seppuku was because they were old classmates.

You have to know that what the Kwantung Army Headquarters meant was: The Imperial Army does not need such shameful officers.

He was saved and allowed to return to the Japanese island alive, and this was the result of the division commander's strong arguments on his behalf.

Captain Kato watched his troops approaching the Wild Wolf Valley.

He immediately called out all the Japanese officers in the detachment under the pretext of holding an emergency military meeting.

In the Wild Wolf Valley, there was an entire brigade of Japanese soldiers waiting to deal with these soldiers from the Peninsula.

The soldiers of Kato's detachment continued to advance towards the Wild Wolf Valley.

But their eyes became sad and fanatical because of the withdrawal of those Japanese officers.

All the soldiers of Kato's detachment had believed the rumors that the Japanese were going to massacre them.

Didn’t you notice that the Japs from the Second Brigade behind had already set up their light and heavy machine guns?

This is to prepare for a fight so that we can cut off their retreat!

The team finally reached the grass mat, which was a dead end of about 500 meters.

The Japanese soldiers ambushing in front and behind the Wild Wolf Valley could not see the movements of Kato's detachment.

According to the prior distribution, they slowed down their pace, and the first few hundred people immediately crawled into the grass mats to look for weapons.

In less than a minute, those people brought back the good news.

"There really are guns, and they are all Type 38 rifles, with a 30-round bullet box.

There are also ten Czech light machine guns, two Type 82 mortars in good condition, and fifty rounds of shells.

The rest are grenades and explosive packs, enough for those without rifles, one for each person."

As expected, these soldiers were trained by the Japanese with cruel means, and their movements were very skillful.

Those who are good at shooting are equipped with rifles, and those with good arm strength are equipped with grenades.

Those with poor physical fitness were all at the back, and they also had explosive packs in their hands. They were considered a suicide squad to block the enemy's retreat.

As they were equipped with weapons, they began to build human ladders on the cliffs on both sides of the grass mat.

The cliff was less than two meters high and it took less than half a minute to climb up.

They searched all over the cliff and found that a rope ladder had been prepared for them just as the Mongolian had said.

It was the kind of net rope ladder commonly seen on ships, and one side of the ladder had been firmly nailed to the ground.

As the rope ladder was lowered, the Peninsula soldiers of the Kato Detachment who were waiting below began to climb up from both sides.

Captain Kato looked at the last soldier and turned behind the hillside.

He immediately ordered the Japanese troops behind him to stop advancing and set up a blocking position on the spot.

Once the battle starts in the Wild Wolf Valley ahead, they will be responsible for guarding this exit and not letting any people from the Peninsula escape.

Now the Japs on both sides are waiting, one is waiting for them to enter the Wild Wolf Valley, and the other is waiting for the sound of gunfire in front.

However, the soldiers of Kato's detachment had already entered the back of the hillside for twenty minutes.

Why haven't the gunshots of the ambush and annihilation of those Peninsula soldiers been heard yet?

The Japanese soldiers on both sides of the Wild Wolf Valley were waiting anxiously.

Suddenly, fierce gunfire was heard from behind the hillside.

However, the location where the gunshots were fired did not come from inside the Wild Wolf Valley.

"Bagayalu, where did the gunshot come from? Where is the scout? Let's go inside and take a look."

At this time, fierce gun battles had already broken out on the hillsides on both sides. It was the Peninsula soldiers from Kato's detachment who took the lead.

This time, the Japanese expanded the encirclement quite large in order to ensure that no one escaped.

The Japanese troops on both sides of the Wild Wolf Valley finally discovered that someone had broken through behind them.

So the famous "Wild Wolf Valley Breakout" began.

(In the Japanese army's post-war report, it was called the Battle of Wild Wolf Valley to Encircle and Suppress the Rebels.)

The Czech style that Qin Haichuan prepared for them played a great role.

The smoothness of the Czech light machine gun's shooting is incomparable to the lag of the Type 99 rifle.

With a firing rate of 120 rounds per minute, the Czech light machine gun made it unable to raise its head.

Because they were discovered by the Japanese sentries, fierce fighting broke out almost simultaneously on both sides of the hillside.

Due to the disparity in strength between the two sides, the Japanese guard troops deployed on the periphery suffered a heavy loss.

In less than a minute, they were all wiped out by this group of Peninsula soldiers.

At this time, Captain Kato outside also knew that something was wrong.

He immediately ordered the Japanese troops guarding the periphery to begin attacking the back of the hillside.

Who would have thought that just as their vanguard troops turned behind the hillside, a loud explosion was heard.

Then I saw several Japanese soldiers with bloody heads running back from the back of the hillside.

"Report to the captain, the Peninsula soldiers inside are well prepared and are escaping from both sides of the cliff."

Kato grabbed the wounded soldier by the collar and shouted angrily.

Kato: "Bakayaro, what are those gunshots and explosions in there?"

Wounded Soldier: "Captain, I don't know where they got a lot of weapons from.

I took a look and saw that they had at least a thousand Type 38 rifles in their hands."

Kato: "So what was that explosion just now?"

Wounded soldier: "These Peninsula soldiers are desperate. They hid on both sides of the entrance and even camouflaged themselves."
