Cowards often like to disguise themselves as warriors or thugs, but when a desperate situation strikes, they are revealed!

Captain Kato is such a person, when he saw the situation outside the hospital clearly, his heart shrank, turned around and ran downstairs! Because, he saw the artillery runs and grenadiers lined up outside, which were originally weapons belonging to Kato's squadron, and he naturally understood their power!

Lieutenant Sakai also saw it, but he didn't run, and at this moment, he stood up straight, with a resolute face, his right hand, which was holding a gun, raised it high, and hissed and shouted, "Long live the Emperor!" ”

"Bang bang bang...... Woohoo ......"

Shells of all kinds pierced the night sky and rained down on the mansion.

"Bang...... Boom ......"

As soon as Kato ran to the middle of the stairs, he was overturned by the heat wave and rolled all the way down the stairs to the ground.

The rockery was half blown down, and in the rocks, the corpses of the two little devils were broken, and in a panic, Captain Kato saw a dark hole in the ground, gritted his teeth and drilled in, dragging a corpse over to cover the hole.

"Bang bang bang...... Boom Boom Boom ......"

Smoke and fire are churning, shrapnel is flying, masonry, tiles, sawdust and branches are flying everywhere.

"Ahhh......h

Screams came and went, stumps and severed arms fell to the ground in the smoke of gunpowder, and the little devils who couldn't dodge turned into corpses in the dense artillery fire.

"Bang ......"

Outside the courtyard, mortars and grenadiers roared incessantly, and shells pounced into the courtyard like flying locusts.

"Woohoo...... Bang bang bang...... Boom Boom Boom ......"

The fireworks were churning, the houses, rockeries, and gardens were bombarded into a mess, and behind the rockery, Captain Kato hid in the pit shivering, which was originally a drainage channel, narrow and damp.

Soon, the explosions outside stopped, but Captain Kato's heart was raised higher.

"Bang ......"

The courtyard door was slammed open.

"Da Da Da ......"

Footsteps are chaotic.

"Puff puff ......"

The sound of a bayonet breaking through flesh...... The Shina people are cleaning up the battlefield! Captain Kato felt like he was about to suffocate, and his body stiffened.

"Da Da Da ......"

Footsteps sounded overhead.

"Puff puff ......"

The corpse at the entrance of the cave was not spared, but fortunately, the opponent's knife was sharp, the bayonet went in and out steeply, without dragging mud and water, and the corpse at the entrance of the cave shook slightly a few times, and was still blocked at the entrance of the cave.

"Gone!"

A voice sounded outside, rough and heroic, but for Captain Kato, it was nothing less than a heavenly sound.

"Da Da Da ......"

The clutter of footsteps faded away, eventually disappearing.

"Whirring ......"

Captain Kato was limp, and he sat down in the pit, leaning against the wall of the cave, panting desperately...... Gone, finally gone! This fate has been picked up, but how should I explain it when I go back?

Gently removing the corpse from the entrance of the cave, Captain Kato stretched out half his head, looked around, and then cautiously drilled out.

"Hoo ......"

Looking at the night sky, Captain Kato laughed silently, it's good to be alive!

However, his smile quickly froze on his face...... Because, he saw the light of the fire rising into the sky, and it was the ancient tower set, right? Gutaji was also attacked? The White Rock Squadron is also finished!

Gutaji is just northeast of Hetoupu, where is the defense area of the Baishi squadron.

"Bang ......"

The dull sound of cannon suddenly sounded in the south, and Captain Kato was shocked, and Qianshan Castle was also attacked?

Captain Kato's brows were furrowed, but his heart was more shocked...... How many such troops do they have? Dare to attack Qianshan City!

In Qianshan City, the headquarters of the Sakai detachment.

Major General Sakai was waiting for the battle report from the front line, but when he waited for the sound of artillery outside the city, he immediately became angry, "Yaga! What's going on outside the city? Which bastard is messing around? ”

"Bang bang bang...... Rumble ......"

The sound of the cannon did not mean to stop.

"Yaga!" Ando Nakasa was also angry, "Go and see what's going on?" ”

"Hey!" The attendant said yes and hurried away.

"Bang bang bang...... Rumble ......"

The sound of cannons was already ringing, and everyone could understand that the sound of cannons was in the north of the city.

Ando Nakasa couldn't sit still, "Major General, isn't it ...... in the northwest direction?"

"No!" Major General Sakai shook his head flatly, "There are three squadrons in the north!" ”

There are three squadrons in the northern suburbs, Kato's squadron in Hetoupu, Shiraishi's squadron in Gutaji, and Domoto's squadron in Phoenix Town, and the three towns are in a horn position, covering each other, and if they are attacked, they will at least send back a message before the stronghold falls.

Ando Nakasa was stunned for a moment, and nodded slowly, this is absolutely impossible!

At this moment, the sound of the cannon stopped abruptly, and the two looked at each other with a relaxed expression.

"Report!" The attendant hurriedly returned, "The North Gate post has been attacked by an unknown enemy, has been repulsed, and fled north, and Captain Matsumoto is leading his troops in pursuit......"

Major General Sakai interrupted him with a wave of his hand, "Let Matsumoto-kun stop the pursuit!" ”

"Hey!" The attendant officer was stunned and hurried out.

Captain Matsumoto was stationed at the north gate and was suddenly shelled, although not many people died, but when were they subjected to such humiliation?

Fortunately, the opponent only fired a burst of artillery and fled in a hurry, and Captain Matsumoto immediately led his troops in pursuit, capturing (picking up) six mortars and several ammunition boxes in the north of the city, but the ammunition boxes were empty.

"Yaga!" Captain Matsumoto looked at the mortar and the empty ammunition box, and was furious, "This is the equipment of the Imperial Army!" ”

The mortar was indeed captured by Liao Heiniu and their squadron in Kato, and all the unfinished shells on the riverhead hit the north gate of Qianshan City!

"Captain Matsumoto," the attendant came hurriedly, "the major general told your troops to stop the pursuit and guard the north gate." ”

Captain Matsumoto was stunned, "Hey! ”

He understood Major General Sakai's concerns, the main force was fighting fiercely on the west bank of the dive, the garrison in the city was empty, and the enemy situation was unknown, at this time, it was indeed not appropriate to pursue rashly!

In the headquarters, Major General Sakai frowned, staring at the combat map, he was waiting.

"Report," the signal corps hurried in, grim-faced, "all three strongholds have lost contact. ”

Major General Sakai trembled, and sure enough, something happened!

Ando Nakasa was also surprised, "Send someone to investigate immediately." ”

But he already knew in his heart that the three squadrons were only afraid of more bad luck.

At this moment, the attendant officer hurriedly ran in, with a panicked expression, "Captain Kato is back, seriously injured!" ”

Major General Sakai and Nakasa Ando were both stunned and came.

"Yaga!" After Major General Sakai was stunned, his face was full of anger, "Let him come to see me immediately!" ”

The attendant officer was stunned for a moment, and his face hesitated, "But, his legs ......"

Major General Sakai's voice sank, "Carry him over!" ”

"Hey!" The attendant did not dare to refute and hurried away.

Of course, Captain Kato was not seriously injured, but he had a stab wound on his leg and a blur of flesh and blood on his forehead, which he had done himself in a hurry. He was not carried over, but walked over with a saber and stood in front of Major General Sakai, with low eyebrows and a look of shame, "Your Excellency Major General!" ”

Major General Sakai glanced at him and frowned in disgust, "What the hell happened?" ”

Captain Kato trembled, "They came and went silently, raided the stronghold, and the headquarters was powerless to fight back...... The stronghold was lost, and the rest of the subordinates retreated into a house to hold on, but their firepower was too strong......"

"It's your firepower, isn't it?" Major General Sakai sneered with a sneer on his face, "Matsumoto-kun found an abandoned mortar in the north of the city!" ”

Captain Kato stiffened, silent, and cold sweat instantly covered his forehead.

After a long time, Major General Sakai sighed, "Go down and recuperate!" ”

Captain Kato, as if he had been granted amnesty, saluted with a "snap", and limped out with his saber.

"Major General," Ando Nakasa's face was solemn, "the offensive on the West Bank ......"

Major General Sakai nodded, "Wait a little longer." ”

As soon as Major General Sakai's words fell, the attendant officer hurriedly came with a solemn face, "It has been clearly investigated, the two strongholds of Gutaji and Phoenix Town have all been burned, and the garrison has been wiped out!" ”

"Yaga!" Major General Sakai suddenly raised his head and stared at him deadly, "How can this be?" ”

The attendant officer was shocked, bowed his head and remained silent.

"Major General," Ando Nakasa said softly, "the situation is serious, and we can only suspend the offensive on the west bank first and deal with the enemy in the northwest mountains first." ”

Major General Sakai frowned and groaned, now it seems that the enemy in the northwest mountains is indeed a hidden danger, but just give up Taihu Lake like this?

"Major General think twice!" Seeing that he hesitated, Ando Nakasa was a little anxious, "If the enemy in the northwest is not eliminated, Qianshan City will be unstable." ”

Major General Sakai was shocked and raised his head, "Immediately send an abdominal squadron to find out the enemy's traces in the northwest." ”

"Hey!" A tall captain agreed, and walked out of the headquarters.

The Hattori squadron, the reconnaissance squadron directly under the Sakai detachment, has its own advantages.

Outside the savage village, where the 66th Regiment was stationed, the bonfire was flickering, the trenches were filled with the aroma of barbecue, and laughter wafted through.

In the regiment headquarters, Li Siwei looked at Liao Heiniu and smiled, "You still have a good mouth, and you can get so much meat back with a night attack!" ”

The generals laughed, "I'm afraid the black bull is too greedy, God knows it!" ”

Liao Heiniu glared, "Laugh a hammer!" Eat meat, eat meat! ”

Li Siwei also nodded, "Eat quickly, cheer up Lao Tzu after eating...... The meat of the little devil is not delicious! ”

Little devils have always robbed other people's meat to eat, how can they tolerate others stealing their meat to eat!

"I'm afraid of the hammer!" Liao Heiniu smiled, "Lao Tzu just wants to grab their meat to eat!" If you dare to come, the old men will stew them in a pot! ”

"Yes!" Everyone laughed, "I'm afraid of the hammer!" ”

Li Siwei smiled slightly, grabbed a piece of roasted brown beef, took a bite hard, and chewed it in a big gulp, chewing it until his mouth was full of oil!

It was late at night, the people were quiet, the bonfire was still dancing, but there was a snoring in the air.

Li Siwei lay in the corner, but he didn't feel sleepy at all...... Will the little devils withdraw their troops from the West Bank? And where will it be attacked? Is it to focus on attacking the Savage Village, or to surround it on three sides?

"Bang ......"

A gunshot broke the quiet night, Li Siwei sat up suddenly, and everyone woke up one after another.

"Bang Bang ......"

The gunfire was scattered and faded away.

Li Siwei hurriedly walked out of the air-raid shelter, and the brothers had already gotten up, all in place, ready for battle.

"Regiment commander," Wu Tianyou hurriedly came, "It should be the reconnaissance unit of the little devil, seven were killed, six ran away, and Company Commander Huang had already chased after him." ”

Li Siwei waved his hand, "Let him stop chasing...... Sooner or later, get ready to meet the enemy! ”

"Yes!" Wu Tianyou hurried away.

Zheng Sanyang was a little worried, "Regiment leader, do you want to transfer the injured brother out first?" ”

Li Siwei was stunned, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Where to transfer?" ”

The crowd was silent, yes, where to move? The friendly forces are still struggling to support on the west coast, and Taihu Lake is already in danger, let alone diving on the east coast?

Li Siwei raised his head, his eyes swept over everyone, "Injured brothers don't need to be transferred, the savage village will not be lost!" Can't lose it! ”

"Yes!" Everyone was in high spirits, "Swear to defend the savage village to the death!" ”

Diving the west shore, the gunfire is quiet.

Pailou Town, the temporary headquarters of the 27th Group Army, Commander Yang gently put down the phone, looked up at a group of staff, and looked much more relaxed, "The friendly forces have launched an attack on the east coast of the dive, and the fighters are outstanding, and the enemy should be able to take action." ”

"Oh," said the staff, with a happy face, "do you want to wait for an opportunity to launch a counterattack?" ”

Commander Yang frowned and shook his head gently, "Defending Taihu Lake is the first priority, counterattack...... Lao Tzu also wants to fight back, but where is the strength to fight back? ”

The generals were stunned and silent.

The 27th Group Army had only one army and two divisions, and later three regiments were added, but after repeated battles, the headquarters suffered heavy casualties, where was there still the strength to counterattack? One is not good, I'm afraid Taihu City can't hold it.

"Alas!" Commander Yang sighed, "I just hope that the reinforcements can arrive as soon as possible, and if the reinforcements arrive in time, they will counterattack...... It's not impossible! ”

The reinforcements were the 26th Army and the 21st Army.

Everyone sighed secretly, hope!

At the headquarters of the Sakai detachment, Major General Sakai looked at Captain Hattori and frowned, "It's indeed a strong enemy!" ”

Captain Hattori's face was expressionless, but he did not refute, just now, a team that was scouting in the direction of the Savage Village was almost completely annihilated, and the strength of the enemy could be seen.

"Major General," Ando Nakasa's face was solemn, "it seems that our army underestimated them, this is not a disease of mustard, but a problem of the heart!" ”

"It's indeed a problem for the henchmen!" Major General Sakai nodded slowly, "Order, the first brigade of the Nakano Wing will make a detour to the north and attack the town of Shuiyao, the third brigade of the Iwasaki Wing will withdraw to the east bank and attack in the direction of the Savage Village, the first and third brigades of the Fujimura Wing, and the first and second squadrons of the cavalry wing, and cooperate with them." ”

Ando Nakasa frowned, "Shouldn't you focus your attack on the Savage Village?" ”

"No!" Major General Sakai turned his head to stare at Nakasa Ando, his face full of hideousness, "They must be completely eliminated!" ”

Ando Nakasa was stunned for a moment, and nodded slowly, only by cutting off their back road can he completely eliminate them.

In the night, the savage village is still peaceful and peaceful.

However, in the fortifications outside the savage village, the bonfires flickered and the figures were numerous, like a monster that chose to devour people, quietly entrenched in the night!
