As the Japanese reconnaissance planes expanded the search range, and increased the search interval.

Soon after the departure of the battalions of the Tiger Regiment, Yu Zongping and the others also led the Independent Regiment of the New Fourth Army, the baggage battalion of the Tiger Regiment and the wounded soldiers, and scattered and retreated southward.

……

At three o'clock in the afternoon, a 1,000-strong Japanese reconnaissance force successfully came to Shilipo, 20 miles south of Funan County, through the traces left by the retreat of the Huben regiment.

However, it was found that there were already people here who had already gone to the slope, and only the traces left by the large army after staying here.

Although before Yu Zongping and his party left, they had done a simple treatment.

But it is almost impossible to erase the traces of thousands of people.

……

Joint Command of the Japanese Army.

The commander of the 6th Division, Gu Shoufu, was carefully studying the map according to the situation reported by the front-line reconnaissance troops, and after a while, he suddenly realized something, looked up at Ji Jia Ryosuke and said: "Ji Jiajun, looking at the evacuation route of the Tiger Ben Regiment of the China Army, it seems that they want to go south, cross the Huai River, and escape to the hinterland of Dabie Mountain!" ”

As he spoke, Gu Shoufu pointed to the map and continued: "You see, from the mountain forest where the Tiger Ben Regiment of the China Army rested before to the north bank of the Huai River, it is only forty or fifty kilometers!

If they march all the way, they will be able to cross the Huai River smoothly before it gets dark.

At that time, we want to destroy it again, and it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky! ”

"Therefore, I think that the reconnaissance aircraft should focus on reconnoitring the area from Funan County to the north bank of the Huai River!

At the same time, another capable force was dispatched to immediately attack the north bank of the Huai River and cut off the road for the Tiger Ben Regiment of the Chinese Army to cross the river! ”

Ji Jia Liangfu thought for a moment, felt that Gu Shoufu's analysis was not unreasonable, and was about to open his mouth to order.

At this moment, a communications staff officer suddenly took a telegram and hurriedly ran in from outside.

In front of Ryosuke Jijia, he paused and said, "Your Excellency the Commander of the Report Division!" The 19th Infantry Wing of the Imperial Army called, saying that they had found traces of the Tiger Ben Regiment of the Chinese Army 10 miles north of Funan County! ”

Ryosuke Jijia's face changed suddenly, and he said, "Nani? The 19th Wing was north of Funan County and found traces of the Tiger Ben Regiment of the China Army? ”

"Hello!" The Devil's Communications Staff Officer paused heavily and said, "Yes, Your Excellency the Division Commander, that's what the 19th Infantry Wing of the Imperial Army said in the message!" ”

As he spoke, the Devil's Communications Staff Officer stretched out his hands again and handed the message to Ryosuke Yoshika.

Yoshika Ryosuke naturally did not doubt the authenticity of this message, and after reading it, he fell into a deep groan.

Not only Ryosuke Yoshika, but also several big question marks appeared above the head of the old devil Gu Shoufu.

This is completely inconsistent with his speculation, and it can even be said to be the opposite of the other.

Not long after, another devil communications staff officer hurriedly walked in from outside.

He was the communications staff officer of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army, so he came directly to Gu Shoufu, and said with a pause: "Report to Your Excellency, the commander of the division, the 23rd Infantry Wing of the Imperial Army called to say that they found traces of the Tiger Ben Regiment of the China Army in a mountain forest 10 kilometers west of Funan County!" ”

"Nani? Found traces of the Tiger Ben Regiment of the China Army 10 kilometers west of the county seat of Funan? ”

Gu Shoufu took the telegram and suddenly became even more confused.

Isn't that a slap in the face? And it's the kind that crackles!

"Yaga! Damn it! We've been tricked! ”

After frowning and thinking for a few minutes, Gu Shoufu reacted violently and said: "Ji Jiajun, the mountain forest 10 miles south of Funan County was made by the Tiger Ben Regiment of the Zhina Army and deliberately confused us!"

The purpose is to attract our attention.

Then they were so dark that they retreated from the northwest of Funan County! ”

Ji Jia Liangfu gave a different opinion: "Gu Shoujun, is it possible that the two directions of the west and north of Funan County are the suspicious formations deliberately laid by the Tiger Ben Regiment of the Zhina Army?" ”

"No!" Gu Shoufu immediately retorted: "Yang Jing is an extremely cunning guy!"

Although the Tiger Ben Regiment suffered many casualties in the breakout battle, it still had at least 3,000 people.

With so many soldiers, it is almost impossible to avoid the aerial reconnaissance of the imperial army's reconnaissance planes during the day!

Therefore, Yang Jing will definitely separate the troops and evacuate! ”

As he spoke, Gu Shoufu pointed to the map again and continued: "Ji Jiajun, you see, the eastern part of Anhui, as well as the central part of Anhui, Hefei, Anqing, and Lu'an, are also occupied by our Imperial Japanese Army!"

Therefore, after crossing the Huai River in the south, the Huben regiment could only evacuate to the junction of Anhui and Henan, Gushi, Huoqiu, and Jinzhai!

These places are located in the hinterland of Dabie Mountain, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are barren land.

Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, Yang Jing will never run away to this kind of place!

After all, the Tiger Ben Regiment is not the Eighth Route Army!

Big cities, and all the important passes, are the places they will go!

This has been the case in previous cases. ”

"Moreover, if the Tiger Ben Regiment of the Chinese Army withdraws from the northwest direction of Funan, it will soon be able to escape to the Central Plains region.

There, there are hundreds of thousands of Central Army, and Yang Jing can also get help from the Nationalist Government to replenish his troops and ammunition!

Therefore, I think that we should adjust the direction and focus on reconnoitring and searching in the west and north directions of Funan County! ”

Ryosuke Yoshika studied the map while listening, and after listening, he felt that Tani's analysis made a lot of sense, so he readily agreed to his suggestion.

On the one hand, the 9th Division and the 6th Division were ordered to focus on searching the west and north directions of Funan County.

At the same time, a telegram was again sent to the command of the Japanese army in Central China, requesting that the aviation units continue to provide tactical guidance.

…………

In the evening of the same day, Yang Jing took more than 400 cavalry soldiers from the special operations brigade, the guard company, and the sharpshooter company to a small village called Chenjia Village, 30 miles east of Yangcheng.

Because they couldn't find the tiger group, those little devils who were not as good as animals poured out their anger on the villagers of Chenjia Village.

Pity the hundreds of ordinary people in this mountain village, from the 80-year-old to the babies waiting to be fed in swaddling clothes, regardless of men, women and children, all of them were slaughtered by devils!

No one survived!

All kinds of poultry and livestock were looted, and houses were burned down by little devils!

Yang Jing walked along the messy village road to the village.

Seeing the villagers with different forms of death, one of his faces suddenly became gloomy, and he could almost drip water!

Some village women and girls had their clothes torn!

It is not difficult to imagine how they were humiliated when they were dying.

Yang Jing came to a stripped female corpse and slowly stopped, then took off his coat and covered her body.

Then, he slowly crouched down and reached out to level her eyes.

Yang Jing gritted his steel teeth and said in an almost assured tone: "Don't worry, folks, I, Yang Jing, swear in front of your spirits that I will make the little devil pay for his blood debt!"

Kill those little devils who bully and insult you! ”

After speaking, Yang Jing stood up, turned his head and shouted, "Long Yun! ”

"Yes!"

Long Yun's body straightened up, and he suddenly agreed.

"Immediately lead the brothers of the special operations brigade to break them into pieces, and use the squad as a unit to reconnoiter the movements of the devils!"

"Yes!"

Long Yun saluted and turned to leave.

Yang Jing shouted again: "Rake ears, monkey!" ”

"Yes!"

Rake ears and monkeys roared into agreement.

"Immediately lead the brothers of the guard company and the sharpshooter company to collect the corpses of the villagers and let them be buried in peace!

In the meantime, keep an eye out to see if there are any folks who have survived! ”

"Yes!"

The two saluted, and immediately began to lead their brothers to collect the corpses.

……

"Mother!"

"Daughter-in-law!"

Half an hour later, two painful roars came from the north of the village.

This sound is like a cuckoo crying blood, which is moving!

When Yang Jing heard it, he immediately snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand and rushed over with the sound.

I saw a man with a sturdy figure kneeling in front of a burned house, constantly crying with a headshot.

Yang Jing learned from the rake ear mouth that the man's name was Chen Shuisheng.

Because he went hunting in the mountains and forests more than 10 miles away, he escaped.

With him, there are more than 10 men from Chenjia Village.

Yang Jing stepped forward with a heavy face, patted Chen Shuisheng's shoulder, and said, "Do you know who killed the villagers in Chenjia Village?" ”

Chen Shuisheng gritted his teeth and said, "Little devil! ”

Yang Jing asked again: "Do you want revenge?" ”

Chen Shuisheng barely hesitated at all, and said loudly: "Think!" Dream it! ”

Yang Jing said: "Then do you dare to kill the little devil?" ”

Chen Shuisheng said: "Why don't you dare? ”

Yes, his wife and children have been ruthlessly killed by the little devils, and he has only one thought left in his life.

"Do you know how to use a gun?"

Chen Shuisheng didn't answer, but reached out and grabbed a fire gun on the ground next to him.

"Follow me, I'll take you to kill devils!"

Chen Shuisheng still didn't look up at Yang Jing, but said, "Your country. . . Army, what else will you do but run away?

Follow you, I might as well go to the little devil myself to take revenge! ”

In other words, Chen Shuisheng would never dare to follow the country like this. The officers spoke like this, but today was different.

Now that he has nothing, he is naturally fearless.

Yang Jing was not angry, and said, "Do you know who I am? ”

Without waiting for Chen Shuisheng to speak, Yang Jing asked himself and replied: "My name is Yang Jing, and I am the head of the Tiger Ben Regiment. ”

"What?"

Chen Shuisheng's angry expression made waves for the first time, and the prestige of Yang Jing and the Tiger Bentuan had already spread all over the country, and everyone in the world knew about it.

Although he had never seen Yang Jing, he had heard of Yang Jing's name.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is thunderous!

Immediately, Chen Shuisheng got up violently and stood up from the ground, then turned to look at Yang Jing, and asked with an unbelievable expression: "You say, you are Yang Jing, the head of the world's No. 1 Tiger Regiment?" ”

"In this world, is there a second Tiger Regiment Leader Yang Jing?" After a pause, Yang Jing continued: "Now, are you willing to follow me to fight devils?" ”

Chen Shuisheng said excitedly: "I am willing!" ”

"Good!" Yang Jing nodded with satisfaction: "It's worthy of being my Chinese man, tonight, I will take you to kill the devil and avenge the villagers in Chenjia Village!" ”

"Kill the devil tonight?"

"What? Are you scared? ”

"I'm not afraid of life and death, but I'm still afraid of little devils?"

"Good!" Yang Jing nodded again: "Go and call those companions of yours over, from now on, you will follow me to fight devils!" ”

"Yes!" Chen Shuisheng nodded happily and quickly ran away.

……

At the same time, Yoshiko Kawashima, a beautiful spy dressed as a peasant woman, was constantly cursing the devils of the 9th and 6th divisions.

Originally, she was still trying to find a way to infiltrate Fuyang City, so as to get close to Yang Jing and assassinate her.

Unexpectedly, the 9th Division and the 6th Division would capture this place so quickly, so that she lost this opportunity to approach and kill Yang Jing.

After learning that the Tiger Ben Regiment was evacuating in the direction of Funan, she hurried over again, but she did not find any trace of the Tiger Ben Regiment at all.

Therefore, this can't help but make Yoshiko Kawashima extremely depressed.

Even if she has all kinds of abilities, even if she is extremely confident in her appearance, she can't even see Yang Jing's face, so how can she kill him?
