Lingyungang dense forest.

The fighters of the 31st Division were shuttling through the dense forest.

In addition to the bushes, the ground in Lingyungang is also very difficult to walk.

Partly of the ground was swamped due to the high water table, which seriously affected the marching speed of the warriors.

But in order to get rid of the pursuit of the devils, the fighters still tried to overcome difficulties and pass as soon as possible.

If you move lightly, the fighters will not have any major problems.

But for those fighters who carry heavy equipment, every step in the swamp is like walking on thin ice.

The fighters walked and walked, and suddenly, an accident occurred with a heavy machine gun crew.

Hearing the shouts of the soldiers, Liang Shanhao shouted, "What's going on ahead? What's going on? ”

The squad leader of a heavy machine gun squad walked towards Liang Shanhao: "Division! Our heavy machine guns are stuck in the swamp! ”

His eyes were stunned, and Liang Shanhao shouted, "What? How so?"

After speaking, Liang Shanhao came to the edge of the swamp with a few guards.

On the edge of the swamp, several fighters were desperately dragging machine guns.

But the weight of the Maxim heavy machine gun was too great, and the more the fighters dragged it, the deeper the machine gun sank.

Seeing this scene, a cloud of sadness appeared on the face of the chief of staff on the side.

Whether the heavy machine gun can be rescued or not depends on two words, and because the soldiers of the heavy machine gun squad have also blocked the marching passage, the march of the troops cannot be guaranteed.

If the little devil's pursuers catch up, the consequences will be unimaginable.

With a slight groan, the chief of staff shouted: "Division! I think so! In order to ensure the speed of the march, simply don't use this Maxim heavy machine gun! This swampy area is really not suitable for a long time! ”

Liang Shanhao shouted: "Well, the chief of staff is right, this swamp is not a place to stay for a long time, we have to pass quickly!"

The chief of staff opened his voice and shouted: "Heavy machine gun squad, Makqin heavy machine gun is gone, immediately continue the march!"

With a look of pity on his face, the heavy machine gun squad leader shouted: "Seat, division!" This is a foreign product imported from Germany, and we don't have a lot of it in the entire 31st Division? ”

Liang Shanhao shouted: "Let me ask you, is the gun important or the person important, I think this heavy machine gun will not be able to get it for a while, you see if the marching speed of the brothers behind has become very slow because of your heavy machine gun!"

The heavy machine gun squad leader pleaded: "Division! Give me ten more minutes! I'm going to get the heavy machine gun out of the mud! ”

Shaking his head, Liang Shanhao shouted: "Now our first task is to get rid of the pursuit of the devils, if we are caught by the little devils because of a Makqin heavy machine gun, it will not be because of a small loss!"

As soon as the words fell, a roar of an aero engine suddenly came from the northeast sky!

The chief of staff raised his voice and shouted: "The devil's plane, the devil's plane!" Take cover! ”

Towards the devil's plane in the sky, Liang Shanhao judged that it was just a reconnaissance plane of the devil.

But the appearance of reconnaissance aircraft means that the trajectory of the 31st Division is likely to be exposed!

As soon as the trajectory of the march is revealed, the devil's pursuers will soon be wanted

At that moment, Liang Shanhao raised his voice and shouted: "Quick, put the Makqin heavy machine gun, and immediately move forward lightly!"

Gritting his teeth fiercely, the leader of the heavy machine gun squad shouted: "Yes!"

The heavy machine gun squad abandoned the Maxim heavy machine guns, and the 31st Division's march quickly regained its speed and quickly passed through the swampy terrain and came to a relatively gentle col.

……

Not long after the 31st Division left the swamp, the devils of the 36th Wing also quickly arrived near the swamp.

A devil squad leader ran towards Captain Aoki.

He gave a military salute to the Aoki Captain, and the Devil Squad Leader shouted, "Report to Your Excellency, Captain Aoki, there is a swamp ahead!" To move on or not! ”

Captain Aoki shouted, "Swamp? Let the troops rest in place and wait for orders! And send scouts to explore the swamp area! ”

Raising his head towards the Aoki Captain, the Devil Squad Leader shouted, "Yes!"

At this time, the captain of the Aoki Wing shouted, "Signal soldier, map!"

A Devil Messenger takes a military map from his satchel and unfolds it.

Looking at the terrain of Lingyungang, Aoki Wing Captain shouted: "Chief of Staff, look and see if there are any other passages that can bypass the swamp area in front!"

After carefully studying the map for a while, the chief of staff on the side frowned and shouted: "Your Excellency, Wing Commander, you see, if you don't go through the swamp area, then you can only march north, but this will take half the time than the original march, and the road to the north also passes through a cliff, which is not conducive to marching!"

Captain Aoki shouted in a calm voice: "According to the chief of staff, we can only pass through the swamp area!"

The chief of staff of the devil said: "Yes, instead of taking a long detour, it is better to go directly through the swamp area, although it will slow down the marching speed of the troops, but it is much faster than taking the northern line!"

As soon as the words fell, a devil scout returned!

Captain Aoki asked, "How's it going?" Are the roads in the swamp easy to walk? ”

A military salute was given to the Aoki Captain, and the Devil Scout shouted, "Report to Your Excellency, Wing Leader!" The marching routes in the swamp area are basically poked out, and our infantry can walk! ”

Captain Aoki shouted, "Have you found any traces of the march of the Shina Army?"

The devil scout shouted, "Hello! In the process of exploring the way, we found a large number of footprints and an abandoned Maxim heavy machine gun, judging from these footprints, the Chinese army should have passed through this swamp area ten minutes ago! ”

Captain Aoki shouted, "Yo Xi! It seems that the Chinese army has not gone far yet, as long as we speed up the march, we will definitely be able to quickly catch up with the Chinese army! ”

With a slight groan, Captain Aoki shouted: "Chief of Staff, in order to ensure the speed of the march, I have decided to leave the infantry artillery squadron behind, and the rest of the troops will advance lightly!" What do you think? ”

His eyes were stunned, and the chief of staff shouted: "Your Excellency, Wing Commander! Infantry artillery is the magic weapon of our wing, without infantry artillery, how can we fight? ”

Although the devil's individual combat ability is very good, in the face of difficult battles, without the firepower of the Type 92 infantry cannon, the devil's attack will be greatly reduced!

Waving his hand at the chief of staff, Aoki Wing Commander shouted: "Without the Type 92 infantry artillery, we can still defeat the Shina Army with light weapons, and besides, the veterans of the Shina Army Division are tired, we will not be subjected to a fierce counterattack!"

The Chief of Staff shouted: "Your Excellency, Wing Commander! Think again! We should take caution from the naked corpses of Yizi Valley, I think it's better to be careful when dealing with this branch army!

Glancing at the chief of staff, Captain Aoki shouted: "Chief of staff, in terms of individual combat capability, we are far above the Zhina army, as long as all units cooperate properly, there will definitely be no problems!"

With a heavy sigh, the chief of staff of the devil continued to shout: "Your Excellency Wing Commander......"

The captain of the Aoki United categorically shouted: "Don't say it again!" I've made up my mind! Messengers, inform the troops, the infantry artillery stay put, and the rest of the troops quickly pass through the swamp area! ”

A devil herald shouted, "Yes!"
