Seeing that Yuwen Zhongzuo had a calm face and did not speak, the adjutant continued to analyze: "In addition, there is another worry about the lowly position! ”

"The Eighth Route Army blocked us head-on just now, and it must have bought time for the people hiding in the mountains to transfer!"

"Now the blockade has suddenly turned into a sneak attack along the way, and it no longer prevents us from attacking into the mountains, does this mean that the people hiding in the mountains have been transferred? The Eighth Route Army is not worried that we will continue to enter the mountains, and then change the blocking attack to a sneak attack along the way, so as to consume a lot of our troops! ”

Yuwen Zhongzuo's already frowning brows wrinkled deeper at this time, and he thought for a long time before asking, "How long have we been in the mountain!" ”

"It's been almost two hours!" The adjutant hastened to answer!

Yuwen Zhongzuo immediately analyzed: "Two hours of normal rapid march, even if it is a mountain road, we can walk nearly fifteen kilometers, but we have only walked less than eight kilometers. This means that the Eighth Route Army has enough time to rush into the mountains before us and continue to transfer the people hiding in the mountains to the mountains! ”

"Your analysis makes sense, we can't rush forward so desperately anymore!"

"In the end, not only will not a single ordinary person be caught, but there will also be heavy casualties under the sneak attack of the Eighth Route Army!"

The adjutant immediately asked, "Sir, do you want to continue to carry out the order just now!" ”

Yuwen Zhongzuo shook his head and replied, "Order to take it back!" ”

"I don't know if the people hiding in the mountains have been transferred, but the enemy in front of me is still there! The troops continued to advance, the purpose of which was not only to continue to find the ordinary people hiding in the mountains, but also to kill the Eighth Route Army that attacked us along the way! ”

"Although they are familiar with the terrain and are good at guerrilla warfare and mountain warfare, we have an advantage in troops!"

"After encountering their sneak attack again, the troops will immediately attack, outflank the Eighth Route Army that sneaked up on us, kill them, and kill as many as they come!"

"In this way, even if we don't catch the civilians, we won't go home empty-handed, and we can reduce the casualties of the troops!"

As soon as the Japanese army's tactics changed, the company felt the pressure

The second platoon commander found the company commander and hurriedly reported: "Company commander, you can't fight like this, we have too few troops, and a team of four or five people will go to attack the devils." It's good for them to come up and counterattack with an infantry squadron, an infantry squad to counterattack head-on, and two infantry squads to flank and detour, facing the devil's three-sided attack, the sneak attack force has no way to retreat!"

"There are already two detachments under my command that went out and never came back!"

"If we continue to fight like this, the devils will be able to fight all of us by relying on the superiority of troops!"

"Then don't fight, when you break it, you will break it!" The company commander quickly made a decision!

"The devil has an absolute superiority in strength, even if our independent regiment fights them alone, we will lose this battle miserably!"

"If a fighter fights at least two devils, we have a chance of winning!"

"So our troops must not be consumed by the little devils with their superiority in strength!"

"Order the troops, stop the action, follow the devils from a distance, and let them find the empty nest! If they decide to retreat, then send them out of the mountains, and if they continue to go into the mountains to pursue the villagers who are being transferred, we will not be too late to fight! ”

"Of course, if you encounter a good fighter during the march, under the condition of ensuring your own safety, I will allow each platoon to move freely and fight the devil!"

As soon as the gunfire that enveloped the perimeter of the team stopped, Yuwen Zhongzuo's frowning brow stretched!

The adjutant complimented at the right time: "Sir, your counterattack method is useful, the Eighth Route Army has been beaten away by us!" ”

"In the counterattack just now, we killed nearly twenty more Eighth Route Army!"

"There are not many of them in the first place, but now that there are so many people and a light machine gun, it will definitely make matters worse, and they are not our opponents!"

Yuwen Zhongzuo was very happy, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his face, and then ordered.

"Don't forget the purpose of our entry into the mountain!"

"Since the Eighth Route Army has been beaten away by us, then we will hurry up and continue to advance and find the Chinese hiding in the mountains!"

"Order the troops to speed up the march, we must get out of the mountains before dark, time is running out!"

Half an hour later, a second lieutenant of the forward unit hurried over, panting and reporting.

"Sir, we have found the hiding place of the Chinese in the mountain, but it is empty, judging by the ashes of the bonfire, they have been away for at least an hour and a half!"

"Nani?"

Yuwen Zhongzuo expected this situation as early as when the adjutant reminded him, but after it really appeared, it was still difficult for him to accept it!

The troops worked hard for a morning, and they lost their troops, and finally they were in a hurry!

With a frown, he ordered: "Go, take me there now!" ”

There are more than 100 earthen nests built on the mountain, and it is very spectacular to sweep them at a glance!

Yuwen Zhongzuo was shocked, and opened his mouth to say something, but he still didn't say a word after holding it for a long time!

The forward squadron has searched all the dirt nests, but found nothing, not a single grain has been found!

Seeing the captain coming, he hurriedly reported: "Sir, the common people who must have entered the mountains are hiding here, these soil nests are just dug out and then dried over a large fire, and there are ashes from the bonfire in the middle of the soil nests, and the bottom is still hot, and there are at least five hundred people hidden here!" ”

"The Eighth Route Army is too powerful!" Yuwen Zhongzuo did not reply to the report of his subordinates, but sighed from the bottom of his heart!

"I actually thought of this way to let the people hide in the mountains without freezing, with these shacks and food, it is not a problem for the people to hide in the mountains for a month!"

The leader of the forward squadron hesitated for a moment and asked, "Sir, then do we want to continue the pursuit!" ”

"Although they walked for more than an hour, there were too many people, and they brought a large number of old and weak women and children, so they definitely couldn't go fast!"

"As long as we chase them with all our might, we can catch up with them in three hours at most!"

Yuwen Zhongzuo shook his head and replied: "If there is no Eighth Route Army to make trouble, three hours can indeed catch them!" ”

"But don't forget the Eighth Route Army, which has been following us all along! Don't look at them not attacking us now, once we decide to continue chasing the people who are moving, they will definitely rush at us desperately, stop us, and slow down our pursuit! ”

"That's just going to kill them all along!" The adjutant said.

Several squadron leaders immediately showed a look of eagerness, staring at the captain with a pair of hot eyes!

Although catching ordinary people can crack the minefield of the Eighth Route Army, they prefer to fight directly with the Eighth Route Army!

For them, only in battle can they have combat merits, and they can be promoted by virtue of their military exploits!

Yuwen Zhongzuo refused, and explained with a frown: "I also want to kill two birds with one stone, not only to catch up with the people who are moving, but also to kill the Eighth Route Army that is following us!" ”

"But we don't have time!"

"Originally, we could have been here in two or three hours, but because of the harassment and blocking of the Eighth Route Army, it took us almost four hours, and it was gone in almost a morning!"

"If we keep going and walk inside the mountain for three hours, we won't be able to get out of the mountain before dark!"

"The sneak attack of the Eighth Route Army during the day has brought us such heavy casualties, and our losses will definitely be even greater after dark!"

"If you are targeted by the main force of the independent regiment, it is possible to be trapped in the mountains by them!"

"So, before dark, we must leave the mountains under the cover of planes and return to the temporary station specified by the brigade commander, so that we can be safe at night!"
