Takeshita Jun and his team members looked at the scene in front of them and were stunned for an instant.

More than eighty people stood there motionless.

It took half a minute for the special forces members to come back to their senses.

Vice-captain Takagi Yukichi stepped forward to check, walked to the edge of the large crater created by the explosion, and touched the soil soaked in blood rain.

After turning over the soil, Takagi Yukichi suddenly found a piece of shrapnel left in the soil.

"Captain, we've discovered something!" Takagi Yuki turned around and shouted.

Upon hearing this, Takeshita Shun quickly walked towards Takagi Yukichi. When he arrived, Takagi Yukichi held a piece of shrapnel less than the size of a palm and said.

"Captain, this is the shrapnel found in the soil!"

"Judging from the large crater that was blown up at the scene, it was probably not caused by a howitzer shell. Even if it was a howitzer, it would not be so powerful!"

"I guess it might be a new weapon from the Eighth Route Army!"

"As for what kind of new weapon it is, I can't confirm it yet!"

Takeshita Jun took the shrapnel and carefully observed it. His pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly and said: "They are aerial bombs, and they are all 100 kilograms of aerial bombs!"

"Nani? Aerial bomb?" Takagi Yukichi asked in shock, "Where did the Eighth Route Army get so many 100 kilogram-level aerial bombs?"

Only a few senior Japanese military officials knew that the military train hijacked by the Eighth Route Army contained hundreds of aerial bombs.

At that time, Jun Takeshita and his special forces had not yet been transferred to the First Army, so they did not know about it.

"I don't know yet." Takeshita Shun narrowed his eyes slightly, "He actually transformed an aerial bomb into a mine and used it to deal with infantry. This person is really a genius!"

100kg aerial bombs are extremely scarce in the Japanese army and are reluctant to use them in ordinary battles. They are strategic-level weapons.

Only at battle and campaign levels will bombers be dispatched on a large scale, carrying 100 kilograms of aerial bombs to carry out air strikes on targets.

Taking aerial bombs and transforming them into landmines... This was the first time Takeshita Shun had seen this kind of use.

I have to say it was very effective. At least half of the Japanese soldiers in the regiment were crushed to pieces by the aerial bombs!

"Using aerial bombs to land mines." Takagi Yukichi also said, "It's a wonderful idea."

Takeshita Shun was secretly frightened. The 226th Regiment was all in pieces. I'm afraid the 225th Regiment was also in danger.

"Continue to search forward!" Takeshita Jun gestured forward with a gloomy face.

The Takeshita Special Forces team maintained their battle formation and searched forward.

After only ten minutes of searching, Takeshita Jun and his team members discovered a large number of Japanese corpses.

"Check everyone, is there anyone alive?" Takeshita Jun ordered.

"Hi!" All the special forces members shouted at the same time, and then quickly ran towards the Japanese corpse.

Check one by one to see if there are any left alive.

"Captain, Colonel Banishi is found here!" Takagi Yukichi's voice rang in Takeshita Shun's ears.

Takeshita Shun quickly walked over and saw Takagi Yukichi holding the ID and looking at it.

The commander of the regiment, who wore the rank of Colonel, was lying straight on the ground. Although his eyes were facing the sky, they had lost focus and expression.

The dead can no longer die.

Takeshita Shun quickly checked the wounds. In addition to a stab wound on his stomach, there was also a stab wound on his chest near the heart.

After checking along the way, no body of the 226th Regiment Captain was found. Takeshita Shun guessed that it was probably blown to pieces by an aerial bomb.

"No survivors found!"

"Not a single one alive!"

"I didn't find anyone alive either!"

All the team members ran to Takeshita Jun and paused.

Takeshita Jun's face suddenly darkened and he ordered: "Continue to search forward!"

"Hi!" the team members shouted in unison.

Takagi Yukichi said to Takeshita Shun: "Captain, judging from the battlefield situation, both the 225th Regiment and the 226th Regiment were killed in a one-sided massacre!"

"It's really unimaginable," Takeshita Shun said, "The elite Imperial Army of the two regiments were actually defeated by the Eighth Route Army!"

"Could it be?" Takagi Yukichi was somewhat doubtful about life and asked Takeshita Shun, "Is the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army really stronger than that of the Imperial Army?"

"Absolutely impossible!" Takeshita Jun said firmly, "The 225th Regiment and the 226th Regiment just fell into the Eighth Route Army's tricks. If there is a frontal attack, defense and encounter, a division of the Eighth Route Army may not be an elite of the imperial army.

The alliance’s rival!”

After walking a little further, there were many craters around: "Takagi-kun, look at those craters, did you find anything?"

"These are all craters made by 75mm field guns or mountain guns!" Takagi Yukichi said, "It's hard to imagine that the Eighth Route Army actually has so many mountain field guns, and it seems that there are plenty of shells. This is different from the soil we knew in Manchukuo.

Eight Roads seem to be very different!"

"Not only that!" Takeshita Jun said, "Takagi-kun, look at the trend of these craters and the corpses of the imperial soldiers around the craters. Do you find anything?"

Takagi Yukichi looked startled, then looked at the bomb craters and corpses, as if he understood something: "Most of the bomb craters have more or less imperial army corpses lying around them. This means that the Eighth Route Army shells hit very hard.

It is accurate and has a distance of one kilometer in front and back, which shows that the shooting of the Eighth Route Army's mountain artillery has always changed with the movement of the imperial army, which means that no matter how the imperial army runs, they will be hit by the cannonballs!"

"It's just that I don't know how the Eighth Route Army did it!" Takagi Yukichi said in surprise, "According to common sense, if the Eighth Route Army's artillery position is too close, it will be discovered by the imperial army's scouts. If it is too far away, the target cannot be seen.

, making it impossible to carry out precise artillery strikes!"

Takeshita Jun looked to the south, and then waved to the two special operations team members: "Go and scout in that direction to see if you can find any traces of the Eighth Route Army's artillery positions!"

"Hi!" The two team members immediately ran in that direction.

Takeshita Shun and Takagi Yukichi searched forward while checking to see if there were any survivors.

After crossing the trenches left by the 2nd Independent Brigade Regiment, we discovered dozens of large pits as we walked further.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! As found previously, the pit is surrounded by pieces of flesh and blood and mud soaked in blood rain.

Takeshita Jun asked several Japanese soldiers to find a few pieces of shrapnel and wrap them in cloth before taking them back to the headquarters for identification.

Then, Takeshita Jun clapped his hands and waved to the telegraph operator who had been following him.

"Captain!" the telegraph operator paused as he walked up to Takeshita Jun.

"Send a telegram to the headquarters." Takeshita Shun's habitually vigilant eyes scanned the surroundings as he said, "The 225th Regiment and the 226th Regiment of the 36th Division were ambushed by an eight-pronged ambush in the Shipan area.

No one from the colonel to the soldiers survived, they all sacrificed their lives for His Majesty the Emperor. Send a report immediately!"

"Hi!" The telegraph operator paused, put down the radio on the spot, and began to send telegrams.

…

At the same time, the Taiyuan First Army Headquarters, Communications Room.

Several high-power radio stations kept beeping.

One of the telegraph operators noticed that the green light of the radio station signal in front of him was on, and quickly put on his earphones to receive the signal.

A few minutes later, the Japanese telegraph operator was stunned when he looked at the contents of the telegram that he had translated using code.

Matsui Tadao thought the Japanese were slacking off, so he walked over and scolded: "Tanaka-kun, what are you doing?"

"Lieutenant Colonel!" Tanaka quickly stood up, paused and handed the telegram to Matsui Tadao, "The telegram just sent by the Takeshita Special Forces Team!"

Matsui Tadao was so excited that the order for the Takeshita Special Forces to find the 225th and 226th Wings passed through his hands.

Now more than two hours have passed, and news of the 225th and 226th Wings has finally come back!

The 225th Wing and the 226th Wing were found so quickly?

Tadao Matsui picked up the telegram and glanced at it. At just one glance, the contents of the telegram made his eyes suddenly widen.

After standing still for a long time, he came to his senses. He immediately pushed Tanaka away from him, rushed out of the communication room like a whirlwind, and ran towards the war room.

Along the way, I also knocked over several Japanese clerks holding documents.

Tadao Matsui burst into the war room with a very solemn expression, causing all the war staff to look over in surprise.

Iwamatsu Yoshio's face was extremely unhappy: "Matsui-kun, this is the second time you have been rash. I don't want to see another time!"

"Hi! General!" Tadao Matsui's expression changed slightly, he paused quickly, and then said, "Takeshita Special Forces sent news about the 225th Regiment and the 226th Regiment!"

"Oh?" Yoshio Iwamatsu breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, "Have you finally found the 225th Regiment and the 226th Regiment?"

"So, what difficulties did Colonel Banishi and Miyagawa encounter, and why did they not contact the headquarters and division headquarters?"

However, Miyano Michichi saw the solemn expression on Matsui Tadao's face, and immediately noticed something was wrong, and hurriedly asked: "Did something happen to the 225th Regiment and the 226th Regiment?"

Matsui Tadao hesitated for a moment after hearing this, but he still picked up the telegram and read it: "The 225th Regiment and the 226th Regiment of the 36th Division were ambushed by eight routes in the Shipan area. No soldier from the two regiments survived.

, all sacrificed their lives for His Majesty the Emperor, His Majesty the Emperor carried them on board, and the Imperial Japanese Army carried them on board!"

"Na... Ni?" Iwamatsu Yoshio turned around suddenly, his voice became a bit sharp and harsh, and even the pitch was raised to a high pitch.

Even Miyano Michichi and the Japanese officers suddenly raised their heads in shock when they heard the news.

His expression was full of disbelief and incredulity.
