"Matsushita-kun, where are we? How far is it from Guanjiayuan? Kencho Okazaki, the captain of the Okazaki Brigade, asked.

Kencho Okazaki's face was covered with dust, and in the past few days, the Okazaki brigade led by him has been chased by the Eighth Route Army. Kenaga Okazaki didn't expect the brigade he led to be so embarrassed, and he came with an extremely relaxed attitude before sweeping the base of the Eighth Route Army. But now, Kencho Okazaki couldn't continue to relax, and looked at the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who were not far behind him and showed their heads to observe the movements, and he was extremely depressed in his heart.

As an infantry lieutenant in the Imperial Japanese Army, Kennaga Okazaki had experienced many battles, and he was considered an old qualification in the Japanese army. After being left in the occupied area, Kencho Okazaki has been fighting the Eighth Route Army with his soldiers, but these Eighth Route Army have been captured too much, like slippery loaches, so that she has not set up a record that can be obtained.

This time, he led his soldiers to sweep the base area of the Eighth Route Army, and it was only to cooperate with the sweep of the 36th Division and the 4th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Army, and their combat target was the command organ of the Eighth Route Army. In order to have a fighter that can be used, Kencho Okazaki took the initiative to sweep the hinterland area of the Eighth Route Army, wanting to kill the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army. It was only due to the flexible tactics of the Eighth Route Army and the unfamiliarity of the local terrain that the Okazaki Brigade was exhausted and could not find the location of the command organ of the Eighth Route Army.

The long-term fighting in the hinterland of the Eighth Route Army made the Okazaki Brigade blocked by the units of the Eighth Route Army, and the frequent battles caused the ammunition of the Okazaki Brigade to be quickly consumed. It was also the luck of the Okazaki Brigade that luckily found the Huangyadong Arsenal of the Eighth Route Army, and after successfully occupying the arsenal, Okazaki Kenchang saw the large troops of the Eighth Route Army coming to support, so he chose to flee after setting fire to the Huangyadong Arsenal.

Okazaki Kencho was a little excited to successfully find the Eighth Route Army's arsenal and cause damage to it, and when he went back to report his exploits this time, he would inevitably be rewarded by the headquarters. But then the troops of the Eighth Route Army who caught up made Kenaga Okazaki realize that what he did fell in the eyes of the Eighth Route Army, and with the importance of the Huangyadong Arsenal, the Eighth Route Army troops would not let him go easily.

The ensuing phenomena made Okazaki Kencho understand that he had guessed correctly, and the troops of the Eighth Route Army were coming quickly, forming a situation of encirclement of his Okazaki brigade! Kencho Okazaki wanted to break through with his soldiers, but the troops of the Eighth Route Army closely behind him made it impossible for him to get rid of it. In particular, what made Kencho Okazaki extremely depressed was that the troops of the Eighth Route Army following behind him would only follow him closely, and they did not have the slightest idea of fighting him at all.

Whenever Kenaga Okazaki wanted to lead his brigade of soldiers to fight with the Eighth Route Army troops, this Eighth Route Army unit would directly distance itself and not engage the Okazaki Brigade at all. In the past, when this situation was encountered, Kencho Okazaki may have felt proud and proud, and see, these troops of the Eight Roads would only choose to flee when facing the Great Japanese Imperial Army, and they would not dare to fight the Great Japanese Imperial Army at all.

But now, Kenaga Okazaki didn't have the slightest idea of this, and this unit that did not fight with him made him clearly aware of his situation, which was extremely dangerous. Kenaga Okazaki can clearly feel the hatred in the eyes of these Eighth Route Army soldiers, and can make these soldiers suppress their hatred for him, which can only be said that the Eighth Route Army's plans are very big!

"Captain, we are still two kilometers away from Guanjiayuan, just ahead." Hideo Matsushita replied loudly.

Ken Okazaki nodded and looked at his soldiers, he could see that these soldiers were visibly tired on their faces, they had been attacked by the Eighth Route Army troops, and his soldiers had no time to rest at all. Kencho Okazaki knew very well that his soldiers needed to rest, otherwise if they continued, they would only be more tired and unable to hold on. And when these soldiers could not hold on, the troops of the Eighth Route Army who followed closely behind would attack like hungry wolves.

"Rush to Guanjiayuan as quickly as possible, occupy Guanjiayuan for defense, let the soldiers get a certain amount of rest, and ask the headquarters for rescue, hoping that we can hold out until the reinforcements arrive." Kencho Okazaki ordered.

A hint of joy flashed in Matsushita Hideo's eyes, he was finally able to have a place to rest, and he couldn't hold on anymore.

"Hayi!"

"Speed up! The captain said that as long as he resisted the Guan Jiayuan who was going, he would be able to have time to rest. Hideo Matsushita shouted.

The exhausted devils around them, when they heard Matsushita Hideo's words, their faces showed obvious joy, and when they were tired, strength surged out of their bodies again, supporting them to rush towards Guanjiayuan, who was going. These devil soldiers are extremely tired, and now Kencho Okazaki has given them hope and mobilized their enthusiasm again.

Looking at these soldiers who had significantly increased their speed, there was a cold light flashing in Okazaki's eyes, and it was necessary to rest to resist Guan Jiayuan, but it needed to be established after all defensive positions were built. Without a strong enough position, how could Kencho Okazaki let these soldiers rest? Kencho Okazaki didn't want to die, especially after he made military achievements, he still wanted to return to Qin County and get promoted.

"Captain, let's hurry up and set off, if we are slower, the troops of the Eighth Road will catch up." Matsushita Hideo looked at Kencho Okazaki with some expectation, and he also wanted to arrive at Guanjiayuan early for a certain period of rest. Just looking at Kencho Okazaki in front of him, Hideo Matsushita had a little bad feeling in his heart, and from Kencho Okazaki's face, he seemed to see something.

Twenty minutes later, the Okazaki brigade arrived at Guanjiayuan, and when they arrived, the villages on the southern slope were deserted, and everything was taken away or burned. In the well water, the villagers also deliberately threw dead rats or something, in order to disgust the Okazaki brigade. If it weren't for these devils, then the villagers of Guanjiayuan would not have to leave their homes.

When Kencho Okazaki saw the situation in the village, his face became extremely ugly, the well water was contaminated, and no food had been found, and with the supplies they carried, he was afraid that he would not be able to hold out for two days. Seeing that some soldiers closed their eyes and wanted to rest, Kencho Okazaki directly shouted and ordered the soldiers to dig trenches and prepare for the next battle.

The ghost soldiers who were about to rest, they didn't expect Kencho Okazaki to let them do this, and there was obvious disbelief in their eyes, but when Kencho Okazaki didn't hesitate to kill a soldier who wanted to rest, the other soldiers didn't dare to have any thoughts of wanting to rest again.

Under the supervision of Kenaga Okazaki, the tired devil soldiers took action, dug trenches one after another, and arranged heavy machine gun positions. At the same time, in order to be able to hold out until the arrival of reinforcements, Okazaki's brigade also occupied Liushuhao opposite Guanjiayuan, and built fortifications in both places at the same time. The Okazaki brigade also opened up all the caves in the village, built machine gun positions in each cave, and covered each other with other caves, forming a cross-fire network.

By the time the Okazaki brigade had finished building the fortifications, and it was already evening, the devil soldiers took out the dry food they had brought with them, ate some briefly, and fell into a deep sleep.
