This killer star of the War of Resistance Against Japan was only 9 years old.

Chapter 247 The Japanese 1st Company, badly damaged by the bombing

Meanwhile, Bai Luo, who was in the woods, had already detected the movements of the Japanese soldiers using monitoring radar.

Bai Luo felt that the Japanese must have discovered something at the edge of the woods. Bai Luo sighed inwardly. Anyway, he was idle now. He kept thinking about how to eliminate these Japanese soldiers and also get his hands on their tanks, but he couldn't make too much noise, at least not before dark.

After some thought, Bai Luo decided to first lay directional mines in the woods. He needed to inflict some pain on the Japanese, but not too much so that the Japanese commander wouldn't immediately call for reinforcements.

After quickly deploying nearly 50 remote-controlled directional mines in a semi-circle in the woods, Bai Luo led Sha Niu and Sha Xiong to retreat to the rear.

Bai Luo deployed a second wave of directional mines more than 500 meters away from the first row of mines.

Then they retreated again to a more secluded spot in the middle of the woods, a distance that was more than 2 kilometers east of the woods.

This forest wasn't very large, only about 300 meters wide and 2.5 kilometers long. The reason for retreating here was simple: he feared that if the Japanese attacked, they would shell the entire forest, which was indeed quite small.

Given that the Japanese artillery could cover him completely, he didn't want to be bombed.

He didn't think that the Japanese army, with its well-equipped mechanized forces, only had tanks and no artillery. This forest could stop the tanks from advancing, but it couldn't stop the shells falling from the sky.

So they found a relatively sparsely wooded clearing in the center of the forest. Bai Luo quickly chopped down two trees that were in the way.

After taking out the tulips and raising the cannon barrel, Bai Luo made sure there were no branches to interfere with the firing of the shells. Then, he left the silly girl and the silly bear to stay here as a backup plan.

Bai Luo returned to the vicinity of the first minefield and quietly waited for the Japanese soldiers to enter the blast radius of the mines.

The captain of the Japanese First Company, Nakata, led his more than 200 Imperial soldiers, spreading out their formation around the footprints on the ground.

A search line of more than 50 meters was set up.

They quickly searched into the woods.

Kimura Taku, however, showed no intention of waiting for the search results. If it weren't for the fact that this was a forest with few people, making the search too difficult, he wouldn't have sent so many elite imperial soldiers to search for two people.

Upon seeing that his first squadron had entered the woods, Kimura Taku ordered the tank unit to continue its advance.

He also needed to find out about Takeda's squadron and reconnaissance aircraft.

Based on the previous explosions, it should be quite close.

Thinking of this, Kimura Taku immediately ordered the troops to set off.

But after walking less than 500 meters, even inside the tank, Kimura Taku could hear continuous explosions behind him.

Kimura Taku immediately ordered the troops to halt their advance. At the same time, Kimura Taku opened the tank hatch, and in an instant, he heard even clearer explosions and the screams of Imperial soldiers.

Kimura Taku's expression changed instantly, and he hurriedly patted the roof of the tank and shouted into the tank compartment.

"Quickly, quickly, turn it back."

The Japanese driver instinctively obeyed the order and reversed the vehicle.

"Duang"

Kimura Taku felt the entire tank shake, his body tilted to the side, and his head hit the hatch next to him.

Kimura Taku rubbed the spot where he had been hit, his head still dazed, and looked back.

It turned out that his tank had crashed into the tank behind him.

Kimura Taku grabbed the radio from inside the cabin and started cursing.

"Baka yarou!!! Are you all deaf, you idiots?! Tanks, reverse! Go provide support!!!"

Through the monitoring radar, Bai Luo, who was in the woods, saw that all the Japanese soldiers who had entered the woods had gone inside, although their formation was somewhat scattered.

But most of them still ended up in Bai Luo's minefield.

Upon seeing this, Bai Luo immediately pressed the remote detonation button in his hand.

In an instant, the once silent forest, where only the sound of Japanese soldiers' boots treading on the snow could be heard, was suddenly filled with a series of explosions.

"Bang bang bang bang bang..."

The sudden explosions around him startled Nakata, who was at the back of the group.

Nakata instinctively lay down on the spot.

He pressed his body tightly against a tree, his eyes constantly scanning his surroundings, but he didn't spot any enemies.

Explosions came from the ground and trees, covering most of his squadron of Imperial soldiers. The Imperial soldiers within the blast radius were constantly exploding into blood mist, and the surrounding trees were also crackling and popping.

It is clear that a large number of landmines with fragmentation have been laid here.

After an unknown amount of time, Nakata slowly got up from the ground when he heard that the sounds of explosions around him had stopped.

Listening to the screams of the imperial soldiers ahead, Nakata surveyed the casualties of the soldiers around him.

Upon seeing this, his heart sank. Of the original 200-plus men in the First Squadron, only less than 30 were still standing.

The rest were all knocked to the ground by the sudden explosion, most of them motionless, with only less than 50 Japanese soldiers still groaning.

"Baka yarou. Quickly save people and get out of this forest."

The Japanese soldiers of the First Company, who had narrowly escaped death, suddenly realized what had happened and immediately rushed to their comrades who were still moving, dragging them out of the tree.

Bai Luo, hiding not far away, was a little annoyed to see that this wave had only taken down a little over 100 Japanese soldiers, but he also knew that such a result was already quite good.

Since it was in the woods, most of the steel balls from the directional mines hit the trees.

Although he had aimed the explosion at the gaps in the trees, the killing effect was still only so-so, and these Japanese soldiers were indeed very elite.

Even if no enemy is spotted, try to keep one side close to the trees while searching.

All of this revealed the extremely high combat skills of these Japanese soldiers. Watching the Japanese soldiers retreating with their wounded, Bai Luo did not fire to stop them from leaving. Instead, he retreated to the vicinity of the second minefield. He needed to stall until nightfall and control the casualties of the Japanese during that time.

When Kimura Taku returned to the edge of the woods.

Everywhere you looked, there were wounded soldiers, and Japanese medics were constantly moving around them, bandaging their wounds.

Meanwhile, the Japanese First Company Commander approached Kimura Taku with his head down and a dejected expression.

"Reporting to the captain, we've encountered a landmine attack inside. The mines exploded simultaneously; we had no time to react..."

"Snapped!"

Before Nakata could finish speaking, Kimura Takumi silenced her with a large nose pouch.

As Kimura Taku watched the corpses of Imperial soldiers being carried out one after another, his anger surged.

His unit was the Empire's most elite Class A mechanized battalion, and his First Company was the cream of the crop. He never imagined they'd suffer such heavy losses in this godforsaken place.
