Chapter 63: Besieged

"Waste, a bunch of waste, just one hundred and ten Eighth Route Army, you can't find anyone."

Seeing that after a busy day, he couldn't find the Eighth Route Army, and Kono Shaozuo's face was very ugly.

You must know that in order to chase this Eighth Route Army, his troops have killed almost thirty people. It's not that his troops can't defeat the Eighth Route Army, but if they are on a frontal battlefield, his troops can monotonously several times their own Chinese army, including the Eighth Route Army.

However, for this kind of battle in the mountains and forests, his troops are really inferior to the Eighth Route Army, and the terrain is not familiar, and now there are still several squads that have lost contact.

"Taijun, although we haven't found this Eighth Route Army, I'm sure they are in these mountains, and we have surrounded them. Tomorrow at dawn, we will go into the mountains to search for people, and we will surely destroy them all. Head Wang assured.

Looking at the pitch-black mountains in front of him, Kono Shaozo also gave up his plan to enter the mountains now.

These mountains, with a radius of six or seven miles, are still very easy to hide with the Eighth Route Army, which contains 100 people. Moreover, the sight is not good at night, his army only has about 500 people, but in this big mountain, especially at night, it is a little scarce, and it is impossible to do a carpet search of these mountains.

As for the hundreds of Imperial Cooperative Army, they can't be relied on at night, so they can only temporarily block the main road down the mountain, and then enter the mountain tomorrow morning to search for people.

However, Kono Shaozo forgot that the purpose of his trip was not to follow the 100 Eighth Route Army, and the order he received was to take the opportunity to recover Lingqiu County.

"Wang Sang, take your people to camp on the main roads down the mountain, block these mountains for me, and don't let those Eighth Route Army escape!" Kono Shaosa commanded.

"Okay Taijun, don't worry, my Wang won't let a mosquito fly out." Head Wang patted his chest and reassured.

"That's good, I hope Wang Sang won't let me down, otherwise don't blame me for what I promised you before." Kono Shaosa threatened.

"Taijun, don't worry, it's going to be fine."

Hearing the other party mention that he was the county magistrate, Head Wang's face became serious.

"Your Excellency Shaozuo, is this person reliable?"

After Commander Wang left, a Japanese lieutenant came over and asked, his expression full of worry.

Kono Shaozo glanced at the back of the distant head of the Wang, and said lightly, "Whether it is reliable or not, the empire needs them to help the empire manage China." The Chinese are too large for the empire alone to rule the entire Chinese branch for the time being. ”

Over there, Commander Wang, who had returned to his own territory, regained his prestige and began to show off his might and command a group of puppet troops to start working, with companies as units, scattering and surrounding several nearby mountains.

As for the Japanese army, they were not too worried about these unreliable puppet troops, and they also assigned some people to be stationed with them, and also sent patrols to patrol at night, with a sense of not besieging the Eighth Route Army in the mountains and not giving up.

At this time in the mountains, seeing the posture of the Japanese puppet army, the encircled second platoon was also a little worried.

"Platoon commander, what now? These devils and traitors want to trap us in the mountains. Zhang Cheng said worriedly.

At this time, there were only more than forty Eighth Route Army members around Lehi.

A total of 87 people remained to block the attack, 38 were killed in the previous battle, and 49 remained.

This is estimated to be the largest casualty of the second platoon since the battle of Pingxingguan, and Lehi was also slightly wounded and was affected by an artillery shell from the devil. If you take off the clothes on Li Ye's body, you can see his left shoulder wrapped in bandages, and it is normal for the wound to tear if he moves slightly.

But Lehi endured it, after all, his injuries were nothing compared to the other more seriously injured soldiers in the platoon.

"Squad leader, are the corpses of the dozen or so devils killed before?" Li Hai's hand let go of the branch he had been holding before, and asked Sun Tao, the squad leader next to him.

Sun Tao nodded and said, "Platoon leader, I've been carrying it." Those are all dead devils, what are they keeping for? It's better to just throw their bodies away. ”

The corners of Lehi's mouth curled, "Throw what?" That's good stuff. Let people rip off the military uniforms of those devils' corpses, and then hide the corpses, so that the devils don't find them easily. ”

"Platoon commander, do you want to pretend to be a Japanese soldier and get out?" Zhang Cheng on the side guessed.

"Do you have a better way?" Li Ye glanced at the other party.

"Hey, hey!" Zhang Cheng smiled awkwardly.

There are only forty of them left, and the enemy in the vicinity will notice the sound of gunfire here, and they will soon come to their aid.

At that time, dozens of them will be surrounded by groups, and there will be only one result.

"Find a dozen clever and not tall people, and put on the military uniform of devils. Remember, you can't just speak, you can only say one sentence if you want to speak, and that is 'Baga' or 'Baga Yalu'. ”

At this time, the Japanese soldiers were not tall, but fortunately, among the forty or so soldiers around Lehi, they still found more than a dozen of them who were about the same size as those dead devils.

Soon, these people changed into Japanese military uniforms, carrying Japanese soldiers' 38 covers on their shoulders, and one of them was carrying a crooked machine gun.

Don't say it, as long as these dozen or so people don't speak, they really look like little devils.

Lehi, on the other hand, wore the uniform of the devil soldier Cao, holding a katana in his wounded left hand and a box pinned to the pouch of the gun at his waist.

In addition to Li Overseas, Zhang Cheng also followed, very simply, this guy can also speak a few words of Japanese.

Zhang Cheng was born in the Northeast Army, and the little devil has been rooted in the Northeast for so many years, and it is normal for Zhang Cheng to know a few simple words of Japanese.

For the breakout place, Lehi found a good target after observing the patterns of several puppet army strongholds and devil patrols nearby.

There were only fifty or sixty people in the puppet army, and there were not many of them, and they were all gathered together, which was especially suitable for attack.

Of course, they were not given a lot of time, and they only had less than an hour from the operation to the arrival of the devil patrol.

In this hour's time, they not only had to break out quietly, but also kept as far away from here as possible, so that the devils could not chase them.

"Squad leader, watch our signal later, as long as we do it here, you will act quickly. Remember one thing, if you can't shoot, don't shoot, I can't spare you if you alarm the devil. Lehi reminded.

"Platoon commander, don't worry!" Sun Tao assured.

"Comrades, remember one thing, keep your face on me later, don't speak. Don't talk even if you encounter a devil, and listen to my command. Lehi admonished again.

"Yes!"

More than a dozen soldiers said in unison.

Seeing that the morale was good, Lehi nodded and said in a low voice, "Let's go!" ”

Under the moonlight, more than a dozen soldiers of the Eighth Route Army wearing devil uniforms quietly left the mountain forest, appeared on the mountain road below, and walked towards the place where the puppet army was stationed a few hundred meters away.
