Seishiro Itagaki said with red eyes and a low voice; I hope you can come back early and bring the wine. At this time, a Japanese soldier brought a bottle of wine, and Seishiro Itagaki poured the wine into the glass, and a red liquid came out of the glass, and a faint smell of blood mixed with the wine.

Sakurada Takeshi's eyes were red for a while and he said in a low voice; Unexpectedly, I, Takeshi Sakurada, were honored to be able to drink the sake carefully concocted by Your Excellency.

As he spoke, he drank the blood mixed with the wine in one gulp, and his whole body was hot. Sakurada Takeshi roared and said: Enough, it is worthy of Your Excellency's masterpiece, how many enemy hearts were used to concoct it this time.

Itagaki Seishiro laughed and said: Not much, not much, more than 30, all of them are middle and low-level commanders of China, the old tradition of our Fifth Division, I haven't forgotten it at all, I have eaten the hearts of the enemy, and the combat effectiveness has doubled, otherwise, how can we be a steel army.

Sakurada Takeshi laughed and said: That's right, that's right, if you can dig it out and drink it with Zhang Zizhong this time, it will greatly improve your cultivation.

Itagaki Seishiro smiled and said: In my eyes, only the wolf tooth is my biggest opponent, as for Zhang Zizhong and others, if they want to kill him, it will be an easy matter. Sakurada Takeshi said solemnly: "Hayi, Your Excellency, then I will take my leave."

Sakurada Takeshi left, Itagaki Seishiro felt a little uneasy, he didn't understand why he had this uneasiness, was he afraid of the national army, no, in his eyes, there was no one in the national army who was the opponent of his steel army, at the beginning, he relied on the steel army, and the national army beat several troops and fled, and he also developed pride and complacency, and the only thing that made him jealous was the existence of wolf teeth.

Zhang Zizhong looked at the night, and the fire in the Japanese barracks in the distance, his expression looked solemn, under the city wall to visit the casualties of the soldiers, the medical team is hurriedly treating the wounds of the lightly wounded, continuous battles with the Japanese army, nearly 6,000 soldiers have been sleeping in the ground, there are more than 3,000 seriously injured, nearly half of the casualties of the 59th Army, and although the casualties of the Itagaki Division are not small, but they are much less than their own, and the 30th Army now only has 3,000 fighting strength, and the Japanese army also has aircraft and tanks to help the biggest casualties caused by air raids, In the absence of air supremacy, the casualties expanded indefinitely, and in the face of the Japanese camp, he really wanted to lead his troops to attack the Japanese camp to reduce the pressure on Linqi. At this time, I heard a shout: General Zhang! Zhang Zizhong was slightly stunned, turned around and saw that it was a burly man wearing the uniform of the Eighth Route Army, he smiled mildly and said:

It's you, Captain Guan, why haven't you left yet, do you still want to stick to this Taoyuan Town with me. This officer of the Eighth Route Army was none other than Guan Haitian, the head of the Tiger Regiment of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army. He smiled slightly and said: At present, all the soldiers of our Eighth Route Army will never turn their backs on their allies and leave, not to mention, if General Zhang did not lead the troops to rescue us, I am afraid that we have been wiped out, and even if someone dies in battle, I will fight side by side with General Zhang.

Zhang Zizhong looked at Guan Haitian with a slight stunned smile and suddenly smiled: It is worthy of being the head of the Tiger Regiment, at this time, there is still such a fighting spirit, the Tiger Regiment is worthy of its name, Lao Guan, you have also seen the current situation, General Pang's strength has been reduced, and the enemy's reinforcements have also arrived one after another, and our pressure is increasing, this time, hehe, we really have to explain here, what do you think about this. Guan Haitian gritted his teeth and said: I, Guan Haitian, am a rough man, even if I die in battle, I will never take a step back, otherwise, the situation in Taierzhuang will be even more dangerous. Xuzhou is even more dangerous, we can only defend to the end, even if there is only one person left, we must stay.

Zhang Zizhong couldn't help but be moved and said: You are now less than 500 people, I can't imagine that you still have such combat power, no wonder, your superiors will let your tiger group play the forward, I really wronged you. Guan Haitian smiled and said: This is not counted, it's just that my brothers who died in battle still have the political commissar of the East. Zhang Zizhong was slightly stunned and said: I have also heard the name of the Oriental Political Commissar, a generation of heroines, hungry, by the way, is there still a person from your army in this area, I heard someone report that there was a shootout near Shili Village, it seems that the Japanese army attacked Shili Village, and then the Japanese army retreated.

Guan Haitian shook his head slightly and said: No, will it be General Pang's troops. Zhang Zizhong shook his head slightly and said: No, General Pang did not station troops in Shili Village, but only entrusted the people of Shili Village to keep the granary. According to what you said, it was the people of Shili Village who were fighting with the Japanese army, but there was still the sound of machine gun fire at that time, and it seems that there were other people.

Guan Haitian frowned and said: Machine gun, the machine gun bullets of our army have long been gone, let alone this machine gun.

Zhang Zizhong muttered; This is strange, since it is not you who have the troops of General Pang, then there is also that army.

Guan Haitian sighed lightly and said: I really hope that this army is Dongfang Jade. At this time, I heard a sound of footsteps, and a soldier ran over quickly and said in a low voice: "Commander, there seems to be something unusual in the Japanese army. Zhang Zizhong was slightly stunned and said: What?

Zhang Zizhong walked quickly to the city wall, looked up, but saw the figure of the Japanese army camp shaking, but because he couldn't see the specific situation from a distance, Guan Haitian frowned and said: General Zhang, is the Japanese army planning to retreat? Zhang Zizhong shook his head slightly and said: It doesn't look like a retreat, judging from the signs, they should be dividing their troops.

Guan Haitian was slightly stunned and said: Divide the troops, do they want to support Taierzhuang. Zhang Zizhong bowed his head slightly and said: There is this possibility, it should be to support the Seya detachment, Itagaki Seishiro is really arrogant, he actually divided the troops at this time, it seems that they are going to eat us. Guan Haitian snorted coldly and said: I have to say that this devil's combat effectiveness is indeed super strong, relying on armored troops to rampage, and only General Zhang's troops have been carrying him for so long.

Zhang Zizhong sighed lightly and said: Commander Guan has won the award, and our troops have also suffered huge losses, and now there are less than 8,000 people, and even if Itagaki Seishiro is half a division, he still has strong combat effectiveness. Guan Haitian said in a deep voice: General Zhang, what are you going to do, I will accompany you.

Zhang Zizhong looked at Guan Haitian in surprise and said; Captain Guan, you. No, in this situation, we have no troops to send, once the troops are divided, we are likely to be broken by the Japanese army one by one, and it is more appropriate to hold Taoyuan Town at the moment.

Zhang Zizhong said and turned to the adjutant behind him; Immediately send a telegram to Chief Li that the Itagaki Department has sent troops to reinforce the Seya detachment, and ask the brother troops to intercept it, and our side will contain Itagaki Seishiro's troops. Zhang Zizhong is now short of troops, even if he intercepts it, it will only increase casualties, but he is broken by the enemy army one by one, and now he can only rely on the city wall. The adjutant responded, and Guan Haitian said in a deep voice: No, we can't watch the devil troops slip away. Guan Haitian said, turned around and left, Zhang Zizhong exclaimed: Commander Guan, don't be reckless. Guan Haitian turned to Zhang Zizhong and saluted in a low voice: General Zhang, Taoyuan Town is the last line of defense, you have a heavy responsibility, and you will leave the sniper support to me.

Zhang Zizhong said secretly in his heart: The Tiger Regiment, sure enough, is the Tiger Regiment, even if the equipment is worse than the enemy, they are still not afraid of death, they are really a team that sincerely resists Japan. Zhang Zizhong gritted his teeth and said: Captain Guan, slow down. Guan Haitian was slightly stunned, Zhang Zizhong walked over quickly, and said in a low voice:

Take my guard battalion. Guan Haitian was stunned for a moment and exclaimed: You, the guard battalion, no, no, that's to protect you, this is absolutely not good.

Zhang Zizhong smiled and said: Commander Guan, don't worry, I, Zhang Zizhong, am also a soldier, and I still have some self-defense skills, to be honest, I don't approve of you sniping the enemy, because this is a matter of life and death.

Guan Haitian smiled and said: I naturally know, but this is also our contribution to the overall situation of resisting Japan. Zhang Zizhong didn't say a word and let the battalion commander named Ouyang Jian come over, Ouyang Jian looked thick eyebrows and big eyes, heroic spirit, Guan Haitian looked at it in his eyes and nodded secretly: What a man.

Zhang Zizhong solemnly said to Ouyang Jian: You and Commander Guan assisted each other, sniped the Japanese army's support troops, and delayed the Japanese army's advance as much as possible. Ouyang Jian glanced at Guan Haitian and saluted Zhang Zizhong: Yes, military commander, but if there is someone around you. Ouyang Jian had a hint of uneasiness on his face. Zhang Zizhong smiled and said: You go straight. Ouyang Jian and Guan Haitian glanced at each other and said in unison: Yes! After the two finished speaking, they prepared their own teams.

In the middle of the night, it was pitch black inside and outside Taoyuan Town, the patrol soldiers on the city wall, walking in rows, alternately, it can be said that the rhythm was quite perfect, the rest of the national soldiers pretended to sleep and rested, Zhang Zizhong's headquarters was still brightly lit, and there were figures walking around from time to time, at this moment, several black shadows appeared outside the city wall, and they passed quickly from the sentry light, and the national soldiers who were patrolling paused slightly, and the soldiers led by them whispered: Did you hear anything?

Another soldier of the national army glanced at the city wall and said blankly: No, did you hear it wrong, captain.

The leader of the soldiers shook his head and said; Be careful, keep me vigilant, send a signal as soon as you find an abnormality, etc. The patrol members were vigilant, and they all subconsciously held the rifles in their hands, and the five black-clothed people under the city wall made a gesture, trained the city wall, climbed up with their bare hands, and moved extremely quickly, two big snakes suddenly appeared in the sleeves of a black-clothed man, and swam quickly from the city wall, a python instantly swept away the last soldier, with a click, the sound of a brittle bone, the soldier in front turned around in shock, but saw a giant python behind him wrapped the corpse of his comrade and shouted: Be careful!

As soon as he finished speaking, a python in the back bit off his head, and the headless corpse sprayed blood. The patrol team in front of them was busy shooting at the python with a gun, and the python was instantly beaten all over the cave, and the man in black behind shouted: Die!

Suddenly, black and oppressive insects suddenly appeared on the ground and rushed towards the crowd, only to hear a miserable cry, those insects instantly wrapped the patrolling crowd, and then turned into a skeleton, and the soldiers of the national army who were pretending to sleep shouted bitterly: Enemy attack! There was a fierce battle on the city wall, five men in black armed with submachine guns, attacking from different angles, the soldiers of the national army on the city wall fell in the blood wave one after another, the black insects on the ground quickly bit the corpse into a skeleton, a man in black sneered and said:

Very good, scattered.

As soon as he finished speaking, five figures scattered from the city wall like ghosts, and then the national soldiers under the city wall rushed up, and when they saw a miserable white skeleton on the city wall, they shouted in horror: It must be the special forces sent by the devil, and they must be intercepted.

For a while, hundreds of national soldiers dispersed, machine guns were endless, one of the men in black chuckled and disappeared into the dirt, and a national army officer scolded: Damn, it's still ninjas, these devils must have assassinated the commander, and a group of people came with me to protect the commander.

He said that he ran towards the command room with a pistol in his hand and hundreds of people, Zhang Zizhong naturally heard the commotion outside the command room, and hurriedly ran out of the study, at this time an officer ran quickly and exclaimed: The army commander is about to retreat, there is a group of devils who are very powerful, and the guards who killed us are coming towards our command room.

Zhang Zizhong said with a cold smile; Panic what, deal with it calmly. As soon as Zhang Zizhong's words fell, he only heard a cold sneer: It's a pity that it's too late, Zhang Zizhong.

At this time, a scream was suddenly heard, and the soldiers of the national army guarding the door suddenly fell to the ground, and five black-clothed people appeared in front of them, one of whom had a python wrapped around his hand, Zhang Zizhong's eyes narrowed slightly, and said: I have long heard that Seishiro Itagaki has a special force, and today I have seen it, and it is indeed very powerful.

A man in black said with a sneer; I'll let you go to the west today. He suddenly shouted, his hand suddenly slapped the ground, and one by one black insects crawled towards Zhang Zizhong, Zhang Zizhong's face changed slightly, he took a step back, and suddenly waved a hidden weapon in his hand, boom, a big pit appeared on the ground, those insects seemed to be frightened, and they retreated, and the man in black said softly; I can't believe that you still know how to hide weapons.

Zhang Zizhong sneered and said: Relying on this poisonous insect to win, only you Japanese can think of it.

At this moment, a shout was heard: Protect the commander.

A national army officer ran over, the submachine gun in his hand fired at the five people, the five people were extremely fast, they dodged one after another, and at the same time strafed the national soldiers behind, several national soldiers fell to the ground before they could react, a python in the hand of a man in black suddenly entangled Zhang Zizhong, Zhang Zizhong only felt that he couldn't breathe, and the national army officers on the periphery exclaimed; Captains! Little devil of dog day, if you kill the military commander, don't want to get out alive, Zhang Zizhong lost his voice; Leave me alone and shoot them.

A man in black said softly: I thought I would fall into a bitter battle, but I didn't expect to catch Zhang Zizhong so easily. Zhang Zizhong's face turned red and said secretly: I didn't expect the Falcon Special Forces to be so powerful, sure enough, it was not a level. There are even poisonous snakes that use such evil sects.

At this time, there were more and more people on the periphery, and a man in black said in a low voice: Big Snake King, don't kill Zhang Zizhong yet, once and for all.
