Rainfall on the edge of the plateau is not as frequent as in the mountainous areas.

However, there will also be a light rain from time to time, and Li Yunlong can judge that the devil's team is not far away, that is, he can see that the little devil has not cleaned up the firewood and ashes, and there is no trace of being drenched by the rain.

In other words, the little devil was stationed here yesterday morning.

According to the location, more than thirty miles ahead, there is the big river that spans the entire eastern region, because there are no bridges built on that river, so it is impossible for the big army of little devils to cross the river completely.

Li Yunlong didn't think about leaving all the main forces of the devils behind, as long as he killed a group of them when the devils crossed the river, and relieved the pressure on Duan Peng and Yang Shishi in the rear, Li Yunlong would be very content.

After a night of rapid marching, it was finally before dawn, and Li Yunlong's team also caught up with the troops of the devils.

In order to be able to cross this river, the devil specially collected dozens of boats of different sizes from all over the place, because the sky was not yet dawn, and the devil's camp had not yet moved.

After several days of rapid marching, his brothers were already tired and about to collapse, Li Yunlong beckoned Song Dong and Wei Dayong, "Let the brothers eat something, rest in place, and listen to Lao Tzu's orders at any time after dawn before acting!" ”

"Yes!"

"Okay!"

Canned beef is fried with fried noodles and rice, and then poured a few mouthfuls of cold white boiling, these fifty soldiers directly found a grass nest and fell asleep.

They were all exhausted and their heads were on the ground, and the snoring was already sounding.

Li Yunlong, who can rest for an hour every day during meals, did not feel tired at this time, and under Li Yunlong's strong request, Song Dong and Wei Dayong were also pushed down to sleep.

Li Yunlong, who was in charge of guarding alone, climbed a big tree, sat on the branch, and stared closely at the devil camp that had begun to get busy in the distance.

Fujiwara Nao, as the captain of the artillery group behind the palace, was also a little restless at this time.

According to the plan of the commander of the Mitsui Mori Division, as the brigade behind the palace, in addition to being the last team to withdraw, he also shouldered the task of blocking the pursuit of the Eighth Route Army.

Although Mitsui Mori is not sure, Li Yunlong will send someone to catch up.

But just in case, Mitsui Mori still left a large artillery force to block the possible pursuit of the Eighth Route Army.

Slowing down all the way to the front of the river crossing, Fujiwara Nao did not wait for the battle that had been prepared for a long time.

This made Fujiwara very entangled, and finally decided to cross the river.

You can't keep spending it like this just because you can't wait for the chasing soldiers of the Eighth Route Army.

Dozens of ferries were all resources left by the troops in front, and in order to be able to cross the river as soon as possible, Fujiwara Nao first boarded most of the troops.

The carrying capacity of the non-transition boat is a bit too small, and a large group of soldiers, if they want to cross the river by boat, must make at least four trips back and forth to get there.

Every time he crossed the river, a certain number of shells and weapons had to be arranged, but Fujiwara Nao, in order to be able to deal with the possible pursuers at any time at the last moment, did not load the infantry guns and mortars in advance, and left most of the shells ready to fire.

In the first two trips, the goods were basically commonly used food and bullet grenades, plus some soldiers.

On three consecutive trips, the artillery brigade of more than 900 people, except for the most critical artillery gunners and a dozen artillery pieces, has been transported.

Before the last trip, Nao Fujiwara had already crossed the river with the grain escorted.

Standing on the other side of the river, looking at the direction of the station last night, Fujiwara raised the telescope in his hand.

The distance between the two banks of the river is not wide, and the narrowest part is less than 300 meters, and this distance can even swim directly across the river.

However, just as Fujiwara was holding up his binoculars and looking at the other side, he suddenly noticed that on the left shore less than 100 meters from the ferry pier, dozens of young men with daggers in their mouths had stripped off their shirts and jumped into the river from the grass by the river.

"Baga, the pursuers of the Eighth Route Army are really here!"

"Immediately raise the flag and tell the last group of troops to beware of the pursuers of the Eighth Route Army, the soldiers of the Zhina people, who will intercept our ferry in the river."

Nao Fujiwara commanded loudly.

"Hello!"

The herald immediately went to make arrangements and warn the other side.

From the moment the little devils started to cross the river, Li Yunlong has been paying attention to the every move of these little devils.

At the beginning, the first two batches, seeing that the ferry was full of devils' infantry and food supplies, Li Yunlong didn't move, preferring to let his brothers rest for a while, Li Yunlong didn't want to be attacked by devils on both sides of the river at the same time once he took action.

So it wasn't until the last group of devils boarded the boat and left the shore that Li Yunlong beckoned the sleeping brothers to get up, left his weapons and equipment directly on the shore, and only brought the dagger down the river.

From the moment he decided to pursue the main force of the devil, Li Yunlong made arrangements in advance, and the fifty team members selected were all all-round experts on land and water.

Going down to the river to intercept this last group of devils will definitely not have any big challenge.

Fifty team members, plus Li Yunlong and the three of them, basically two people deal with a ferry, and there is no problem at all.

The group of devil soldiers on the boat, after receiving the warning from the flag on the other side, immediately became nervous and shot at the river.

Li Yunlong's 50 team members, from the moment they got into the water, did not show up on the water again, and went straight to the devil's ferry.

The bullet penetrates the water, and when it reaches the water, its strength becomes very weak, and it is very difficult to hurt people.

Li Yunlong and Song Dong each locked on a boat as a target, and the dagger slammed into the bottom of the boat, and with brute force, they lifted the bottom of the ferry boat and lifted a wooden plank down.

In an instant, the river was pouring back, and the boat, which was already carrying very heavy artillery, and with the weight of a dozen devils, the ferry, which had already had a serious draft, quickly filled the cabin.

The boat sank and people capsized, and more than half of the devils who didn't know how to water didn't need Li Yunlong's hands at all, and struggled in the water, how could they escape the fate of being drowned.

As for those devils who knew how to water, Li Yunlong stepped forward directly, stabbed one by one from the water, and quickly cut off the hamstrings of the devils in the whole boat.

On the surface of the river, the waves rolled, and looking at the group of soldiers on the river and the boatload of supplies and guns, as the boat sank to the bottom of the river, Fujiwara Nao, who was standing on the opposite bank, was so angry that he jumped to his feet.

"Baga, open the cannon to Lao Tzu, open the cannon, and annihilate this team of Zhina for me!"

"Report to the captain, our artillery is on board!"
