Chapter Twenty-Seven: Poisonous Insects Block the Way

"Let the wind blow! Ren Laifeng must be in that group of people! Chase! Catch him, catch him, catch Ren Laifeng! Yuichiro Muto held the command knife, and the whole person was about to enter a state of madness. The ghost soldiers of the Yaqi Brigade listened to the order and chased forward with their lives, and the gunshots rang out non-stop.

A devil herald ran over in a diagonal stab, "Report to Zuo, the Chinese soldiers fled in two ways. All the way to the southwest, all the way to the northwest; There are few people in the southwest and many people in the northwest. Second Lieutenant Yamada, please ask Your Excellency, how can our army pursue? ”

"Two ways to divide the soldiers? It's the old strategy of the people of China again. Ren Laifeng may follow the side with more people, or he may follow the side with fewer people. We won't let go of either side, no matter which direction the wind runs, it won't escape from my palm! Order the Yamada squad to pursue in the direction of the southwest with fewer people! ”

"Hey!" The herald took the order and ran away.

"The others follow me to the northwest! Advance! Muto swung his command knife and chased down the northwest with a large group of men.

In the northwest direction, Feng Wenying ran out with twenty people and got off the road in less than two miles. Muto thought that Ren Laifeng would answer here, and immediately ordered his subordinates to be on guard. With careful care, the speed of the pursuit will naturally slow down. But he didn't chase after him, and he followed two or three hundred meters behind.

Feng Wenying had occupied the top of the mountain and been a robber in the past, so it was impossible for her to honestly lead the devil to run away in front. With or without conditions, she has to go according to her own habits. When you get off the road, you will be in the field, and the potholes, ravines and ridges are one after another, and it is common for the weeds to be deep enough to spread over people's chests.

Ordinary people like to walk on flat ground, but for Feng Wenying, the more complex the terrain is, the more energetic she walks. After walking for a while, I felt that I couldn't see the figure of the devil behind her, and she would shoot a few shots to report to the devil. Wait for the devil to hear back before she leaves.

"Brother, where are we going? My leg hurt and I couldn't walk. "A young soldier complains to the older veteran next to him.

"Shhhhhhh Brother, don't you see who is walking in front of you? That's Feng Da's house! A young woman is not tired, but you are a big man who can't walk because of leg pain? Is there a shame in it? Not ashamed? ”

"Brother, don't say it, my leg doesn't hurt anymore." The young soldier suddenly came to his senses and strode to catch up with the group.

No matter how famous Feng Wenying was before, in the eyes of most people, she was still just a young woman after all. A young woman can walk, and who of these big men is embarrassed to admit that he is not even as good as a woman? Many people are like that young soldier, even if they really can't walk, they grit their teeth and hold on to it.

Feng Wenying's side is insisting that he can still walk, and the devils chasing behind him are a little uncomfortable. Feng Wenying: Whether they are long guns or short guns, they only have one gun each. In addition to individual weapons, there are also heavy machine guns and infantry guns in the devil's ranks. Coupled with the weight of ammunition that is several times more numerous, it is even more difficult to catch up.

The mule, which was carrying heavy machine guns, suddenly lost its temper, and stood there, no matter how much it pushed and dragged, but it refused to move forward. The devil had no choice but to unload the heavy machine gun, two people carried the gun, one carried the carriage, and let the mule take nothing, and this time it was gone.

The artillery carriage pulling the Type 92 infantry gun accidentally fell into the pit, and a group of devils came around to push the wheel and lift the gun body, and it took a lot of effort to rescue the artillery truck from the predicament, but within ten minutes, the artillery truck fell into another predicament again. Is this a pursuit? It's a tough march!

"Reporting to Zuo, the artillery squad is once again in trouble. The wheel of the gun carriage was broken one, and the gun squad was repairing it. ”

"Hmm. Order the artillery squad to hurry. The Suzuki squadron accelerated to catch up, entangle the enemy, engage in a grapple with them, and wait for the follow-up troops to catch up! In response to the current situation, Muto immediately changed the marching plan.

Half an hour later, the troops finally crossed the difficult pothole and entered the hilly terrain. Muto lifted his spirits and urged his men to speed up and shorten the distance they had pulled down again. Once again, the Yaki Brigade increased its speed.

After another forty minutes, an explosion suddenly sounded in front of me, followed by a loud burst of gunfire! Is it catching up? Muto was excited, and ran to the front with the herald and staff officer to see the situation in person.

"Suzuki-kun, what's wrong?" When it comes to the avant-garde squadron, Muto doesn't have to mention this puzzle. Listening to the gunfire in the back was quite intense, and the further you went, the more sparse the gunfire became. By the time we got to the vanguard squadron, the gunfire was far away. Can Muto not wonder?

"It's bandits!" Captain Suzuki was not very sure to report to Muto Nakasa about the enemy he had encountered, "When we were chasing here, a detachment of men and horses suddenly attacked our army. By the time our squadron had set up an attack formation and was ready to fight, the men and horses suddenly retreated. I think it is likely that our army broke into the bandits' lair by mistake, causing a violent reaction from the local bandits. ”

"Bandits? Yo West. You immediately lead the main force of the squadron to press with all your might, whether it is bandits or not, to exterminate those enemies who dare to challenge the dignity of the imperial army! Muto Nakasa pouted, and with a disdainful face, he criticized Captain Suzuki about his tactical thinking.

Captain Suzuki, educated, not only neglected, but also led his troops to catch up from behind. As a result, chasing him back and forth, the more he chased, the more troublesome it became. The men who were chasing did not catch up, not to mention, the soldiers of the squadron were also killed and wounded, and six were wounded. Those who were killed or injured either stepped on traps, were stung by scorpions, or were bitten by poisonous snakes.

Between Zhengzhou and Kaifeng is a plain area, and scorpions, poisonous snakes, and centipedes are rare. After the Yellow River bursts, God knows where all these poisonous bugs came from? The imperial army is not afraid of bullets and bullets, but they are afraid of poisonous insects. Especially after seeing a companion stung to death by a poisonous scorpion, the devils were all afraid.

"Yaga! Yaga! Muto slapped Captain Suzuki a few times. The average captain rarely fights a squadron leader who is one level lower than him, and if he does, he will fight some low-ranking officers. An exception is one like Muto's. The Yagi Brigade can be said to have been created by Yuichiro Muto, he is the founder of the Yagi Brigade, and everyone else is following him. In the Yaqi Brigade, it is the sky to leave him, and he can fight whoever he wants!

"The dignified Imperial Japanese Army, will it be frightened by a few poisonous insects? Forward, I command you to move forward at once! ”

Captain Suzuki ran away with his face covered, but Yuichiro Muto fell into deep thought. Did the gang he was chasing let the wind be in there? If you want to say no, why are these people so difficult to catch? To put it mildly, the way those people run away is not like Ren Laifeng's style.
