Ten minutes later, as a 50-millimeter flare was fired into the air by a grenadier canister, in the bright light, more than 20 puppet soldiers trembled with rifles and carefully walked onto the quiet devil artillery position.

After taking a closer look and repeatedly confirming that there were neither the living Imperial Allied Army nor the devils on the position, nor the Eighth Route Army garrisoned, the platoon commander of the puppet army breathed a long sigh of relief.

Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, looking at the corpses lying on the ground, the puppet platoon commander felt a cool breeze on his back.

"My dear mother...... The work of this vanguard is really not done by people, it's so fucking scary. ”

After reciting a few words of Amitabha, the platoon commander of the puppet army hurriedly turned to look at his subordinates and greeted:

Don't be stupid, go down quickly, tell Taijun that the artillery position has been closed by the Eighth Road, and let them hurry over and have a look! ”

……

Not long after, as a Japanese squadron leader with a command knife walked up the dirt slope, more than 30 devil soldiers also entered the blood-filled artillery position.

After a short inspection, a ghost soldier quickly ran to the squadron leader's side, stood up and saluted and said:

"Report Captain! Thirty-eight of the puppet troops in charge of defending the artillery positions were killed, and the rest were missing. On the Imperial Army's side, including the communications corps and Second Lieutenant Miki, the eighteen members of the artillery squad were all shattered! In addition, an infantry gun and radio were missing, which should have been taken by the Chinese army. ”

"Nani? …… Bagaya Road, damn the Imperial Army, they dare to abandon the Imperial Army and flee for their lives alone! ”

When the leader of the devil squadron heard that most of the puppet troops protecting the artillery had broken up, and his artillery squad was indeed all broken, his face immediately turned white with anger.

Seeing that the Japanese officer seemed to be really angry, the puppet army next to him was even more frightened and didn't dare to come out, for fear that the other party would spread his anger on his head. Like the puppet troops once stationed on these hillsides, they belonged to the subordinates of Liu Ying, who were defeated by the independent detachment.

Turning around angrily, the Japanese squadron leader shouted a devil second lieutenant.

"You immediately collect the remains of the imperial army, and at the same time send a detachment of top soldiers, take these imperial troops to search for the traces of Tubalu immediately, and you must not let them escape.

Remember, if there is any fear of war on these Imperial Allies in pursuit, you will kill them on the spot."

"Hey!"

Soon, a devil soldier Cao took a dozen soldiers and all the puppet soldiers, and chased the footprints on the snow towards the darkness to the north.

After the vanguard left, the Japanese squadron leader held the command knife tightly and slowly walked to the side of the dead artillery ensign.

Leaning down to look at the corpse on the ground, he picked up the other party's hat and gently placed it on the face of the dead second lieutenant.

"Miki-kun, please rest assured, I will definitely bring your ashes back to Japan and bury them in your hometown ....... Miki-kun, the soul of the willing is resting in peace ...... Yasukuni Shrine. ”

With a slight forehead in silent mourning, the Japanese squadron leader slowly stood up.

Just then, he spotted several soldiers pushing a ninety-two rifle gun, trying to move it out of cover.

Suddenly, as the gun wheels turned, a finger-thick rope suddenly appeared underneath the gun mount and was gradually straightened as the gun moved.

Seeing this scene, the Japanese squadron leader first frowned slightly in confusion, and then suddenly realized something.

"Stop ......! Stop it! ”

"What's wrong, sir?"

Thorn ......

With a slight grinding sound, a puff of green smoke immediately rose from under the artillery.

"Get out of the ......! Get out of the way......! ”

"Nani?"

…… Boom...... Boom ......

In the midst of a loud explosion, a grenade detonated two 70-millimeter blasting shells buried near it, followed by a series of chain explosions.

Under the sky-high firelight, the entire artillery position was shrouded in thick gunsmoke. In the furious air, all kinds of human body parts and artillery parts suddenly scattered in all directions......

……

Not far away, looking at the huge fireball rising behind him, the Japanese second lieutenant who was chasing Zhao Shixun suddenly turned pale.

"Stop moving forward and go back immediately to save people!"

……

At the same time, on a hillside more than a mile away, Heiwa looked at the explosion in the distance with a shocked face, and only after a while did she smack her tongue and say:

"Detachment leader, you are really ruthless this time, it is definitely enough for a little devil to drink a pot."

……

"Alas...... It's a pity that the two ninety-two rifles ....... ”

Different from Heiwa's excitement, Qi Baoshan looked a little lonely, as if his baby had been lost.

In the next second, Qi Baoshan suddenly picked up the artillery parts in his hand and smiled stupidly.

"It's a good thing, we still have one left."

……

"Alright...... Don't even look at the excitement. The devil won't catch up for a while, so let's go down the mountain and walk the road immediately, and hurry up to meet the instructor. ”

A loud roar interrupted everyone's gaze, and Zhao Shixun carried He Zhendong's stretcher and walked down the hillside.

……

In the early morning of the next day, in the ruins of the original 21st Regiment headquarters in Lishan Town.

Kuramoto held the command knife in his hand, and sat wearily on a tattered chair, listening to the report of his men's results.

At this time, he had already changed into a Japanese military uniform and took off the national army uniform from yesterday.

"Report captain, in this battle, we annihilated a total of 635 Chinese troops, captured 478 people, and captured a large number of weapons and ammunition.

Among them, eight second lieutenants, four lieutenants, and two captains of the Chinese army were killed. ”

"What about our casualties......."

Raising his hand to interrupt his report on the results, Kuramoto directly asked what he cared about the most.

“…… Nineteen of our Koizumi advance team were killed and 15 wounded.

In addition, among the additional troops, due to an unexpected attack by the elite troops of the Eighth Route Army, Captain Yamada and his subordinates were killed 59 people, while the Imperial Allied Army lost 88 people and 150 people were missing......

The Miki artillery squad lost all three ninety-two guns, one of which was a radio station and an infantry gun, and ...... was also lost by the enemy. ”

……

"Yaga ......."

Hearing this, Kuramoto's face looked unusually ugly.

Slowly sitting up, he walked to Deng Yong's side with a straight face.

"Battalion Commander Deng, do you know the details of this Eighth Route Army?"

Feeling the murderous aura on the warehouse itself, Deng Yong swallowed a mouthful of saliva fiercely, lowered his head and whispered:

"Report to Taijun, I only know what kind of anti-Japanese column this guy is in the south of Jinnan, and the biggest officer in it seems to be a chief of staff. Oh yes, his name is Xue Liqun....... ”

"Staff officer? …… And what is the name of the lead officer of this unit? ”

After hearing the words and pondering for a while, Deng Yong first shook his head, and then saw that Kuramoto's face was not good, so he quickly nodded again.

"Yaga, you dare to play tricks on the Japanese Imperial Army!"

was a little confused by Deng Yong's behavior, and a devil second lieutenant's face immediately changed greatly, and he pulled out the command knife with a rub.

"Don't...... Taijun is angry, although I don't know .......

But I know who knows. ”

"Who?"

"It's the adjutant of the 21st Regiment headquarters that we captured, he should know."

"Yo Xi ......"

Hearing this, Kuramoto nodded, and Kuramoto immediately ordered several soldiers to bring a prisoner in a second lieutenant's uniform.

……

After a few moments, Kuramoto stepped forward and pulled up the kneeling captive on the ground, staring into the other's eyes with a straight face.

"What is the name of the officer leading the Eighth Route Army? What are their numbers? ”

"Back to Taijun's words...... the officer they led the lead is called Zhao Shixun, and the number seems to be some kind of column independent detachment."

……

"Zhao Shixun? …… Separate detachment? ”

"Yes......."

Loosening the collar of the other party, Kuramoto wiped the blood from his hands and turned to look at the subordinates beside him.

"Have any of you heard of this Zhao Shixun?"

Everyone pondered for a while and shook their heads. As for this name, these advance team members obviously did not have the slightest impression.

At this moment, Nie Yunshan on the side suddenly hurriedly stepped forward and pulled the prisoner on the ground to his eyes again.

"What do you say! His name is Cho Se-hoon? ”

"Yes, sir....... It's called Zhao Shixun, and I'm absolutely not mistaken. ”

"What does he look like?"

Hearing this, he looked at the captive with a solemn face, and Nie Yunshan asked eagerly again.

"Uh...... A big man, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, he speaks in a northeastern accent. ”

Hearing this, Nie Yunshan's pupils instantly contracted violently a few times.

"Nie Sang, do you know this person?"

Seeing that Nie Yunshan's state was abnormal, Kuramoto immediately asked lightly.

“…… Well, he and I do know each other. ”

Standing up slowly, Nie Yunshan squinted and recalled some of his past memories, then looked at Kuramoto and said:

"He used to be from the Northeast Army, and I heard that he also attended the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School for a few days. At the time of the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, he was the commander of a guard company under the commander of the Tang Army. When the Third Army was destroyed, I thought he had died in battle, but I didn't expect him to live until now and become an officer ......of the Eighth Route Army. ”

Hearing that the other party was actually a non-commissioned officer in Japan, Kuramoto's instant interest came.

"Whoosh...... It's still my alumnus...... Hehe, interesting! ”

……

Hearing Kuramoto's laughter, Nie Yunshan was puzzled for a moment, then stepped forward and said respectfully:

"Captain Kuramoto, this Zhao Shixun is extremely familiar with the imperial army's combat methods, and if he is not eliminated as soon as possible, I am afraid that it will cause great damage to the imperial army's rule in Jinnan.

Therefore, I suggest that the Imperial Army must pay special attention to this man and the troops he leads. ”

Hearing this, he nodded, and Kuramoto looked at the respectful Nie Yunshan beside him with satisfaction.

"Nie Sang, I am very pleased with your loyalty to the Imperial Army. Don't worry, I'll report this person's affairs to the Wing Captain along with your performance yesterday. ”

"Hi...... Thank you for the Imperial Army! ”

……

Smiling and patting the other party's shoulder, Kuramoto's cold gaze glanced at the captive soldiers on the ground, and then looked at the group of subordinates and said loudly:

"Now I order, immediately execute all the wounded among the prisoners of China, and then the whole army will return to the Hengqu County Gendarmerie for repair!"

"Hi ......."

…… To be continued, thank you for your support. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Hanhai greets all book friends!!
