    General Dai's troops marched along the mountains outside the Hukang River Valley.

    As they had expected, they encountered more Japanese ambushes along the way, which also made their retreat longer.

    Of the more than 10,000 soldiers of the 200th Division, during the continuous fighting, less than 5,000 were left at this time.  Some of them are wounded and sick, and are on the verge of collapse.

    But it¡¯s still a long way from India.  Along the way, they didn't know how many more Japanese ambushes they would encounter.

    At ten o¡¯clock in the evening, they were ambushed by the Japanese army again.

    This time the Japanese ambush was different from the previous ones.  The small Japanese troops that had ambushed them before were often the vanguard that directly attacked them.

    But at this time, the Japanese army attacked the middle part of General Dai's army.  This is usually where the headquarters is located. The Japanese army did this because they wanted to try their luck and see if they could kill the enemy's senior generals.

    At this time, the Japanese army opened an open space on the hillside to serve as their mortar position.

    Although there are only two squadrons, they are also equipped with mortars.  In the mountains and forests on both sides, there were a large number of Japanese scouts who tied themselves to trees or were buried under rotten leaves.

    These Japanese troops often stayed in the same position for several days and nights.  They almost blend in with the surrounding tropical jungle, and even birds flying down will ignore their existence.

    Especially the Japanese soldiers in the trees. They ate, drank, defecated, and even slept in the towering trees.

    The willpower and mental strength of these Japanese troops are astonishing. In order to move faster than the Chinese army, they can remove the tires of their bicycles and directly use the iron hoops of their bicycles to move forward.

    Many of their soldiers even died of exhaustion during the march.

    These Japanese soldiers were able to survive in the tropical rain forest by eating insects, rats, and all other edible animals.

    The middle part of General Dai's army came under fierce attack by the Japanese army.

    "Order the troops in front to turn around and attack in the five o'clock direction immediately." General Dai shouted.

    At this time, the Japanese mortar shells fell from the sky like hailstones, and then roared in the forest.

    Broken shrapnel and explosion shock waves are both murderous weapons.  Soldiers from the national army continued to be killed or injured in the indiscriminate bombings of the Japanese army.

    Throughout the forest, the screams of the national soldiers could be heard.

    They were already accustomed to Japanese ambushes, so the troops who were attacked at this time were also very experienced in attacking on both wings.

    At the same time, several small-caliber mountain guns they carried began to be pulled from behind at this time and began to bombard the Japanese troops above.

    The sounds of light and heavy machine guns and submachine guns began to roar at this time.

    The direction in which these guns were pointed not only included the direction of the Japanese ambush position, but also included the trees on both sides.  Because none of them would know which of those towering trees would have Japanese soldiers on it.

    At this moment, a mortar shell, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, landed not far from General Dai.

    The chief of staff next to him realized the danger and shouted: "Master, lie down!!!"

    When General Dai heard this, he lay down subconsciously, and at this moment, the shell exploded.

    His body was like a leaf rolled up by the strong wind. The shock wave caused by the shell was blown away two or three meters away, and then he fell heavily to the ground.

    At this moment, a large amount of shrapnel produced by the explosion flew out and hit General Dai's body.

    Seeing General Dai being blown away, the chief of staff immediately shouted and rushed over with several of his soldiers.

    They found General Dai lying on the ground groaning ten meters away from the explosion of the shell.

    "Master's seat, Master's seat!!"

    The chief of staff yelled and squatted down next to General Dai. Tears instantly flowed from his cloudy eyes.

    General Dai tried very hard to wipe away the blood on his face, then endured the pain and pulled out a piece of shrapnel that had pierced his cheek.

    "Master, are you okay! Where are the injuries?" The chief of staff looked up and down and found that the clothes on General Dai's body were damaged by shrapnel and impact.The crotch was torn apart a lot, but the torso didn't seem to suffer much damage.

    "I'm fine, the bulletproof vest blocked the shrapnel."

    General Dai said, patting the body armor with his palm.

    On the Kevlar fiber wrapped in the body armor, you can indeed see the small scratches left by the shrapnel.  But although the flying shrapnel can tear human flesh and blood, there is no way to tear this tough cloth apart.

    The bullet-proof plate wrapped behind the Kevlar fiber can easily withstand continuous firing from automatic rifles at close range.

    Precisely because of this, the mortar shell just now only caused some minor injuries to General Dai's legs and cheeks.

    Although it looked like his legs and cheeks were covered in blood, it was not fatal.  As long as his wound is treated in time and does not become infected in the tropical rain forest, there will be no life-threatening danger.

    "I really want to thank Xia Yang this time. Without the body armor he gave me, the shell just now would have killed me."

    General Dai said with lingering fear, and the thought came to his mind that before setting off, Xia Yang repeatedly told himself to put on this body armor in case of accidents.

    Now it seems that Xia Yang really saved his life.

    At this time, their troops began to launch a fierce counterattack against the Japanese troops on both sides of them.

    There were not many Japanese troops to ambush them, only two squadrons with more than 500 people.  At this time, facing a sudden counterattack by thousands of people, they only lasted for less than an hour before they had to choose to flee.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
