Lingqiu, Caijiayu.

A group of Japanese baggage troops was marching through the valley at this moment.

"Squad leader, I heard that there was a Chinese army in this valley before, and it ambushed our baggage troops. Will we encounter any surprises when we go here again today?"

The Japanese soldier Cao, who was driving the car, had been a little worried since entering the valley, and he had not participated in the battle on September 25, but he could feel the severity of the battle just from the news he heard later. Now when he came here in person, looking at the steep cliffs on both sides, he couldn't help but get nervous. The shouts of that day still echoed in the valley and in his ears.

"Yaga! If you've always been so spineless, I wouldn't mind exercising their powers in place of the gendarmerie! ”

"Hello!"

Hearing the scolding of the squad leader sitting on the co-pilot, Jun Cao's heart was abrupt, and he immediately didn't dare to think about it anymore, honestly clenched the steering wheel in his hand, and looked intently at the road in front of him.

Compared with civilian cars, military trucks are not comfortable at all, the seats are very awkward, and driving on bumpy mountain roads is full of bumps, and driving on such roads can be said to be a great test of the driver's physical strength. The scorching sun at noon is also quite poisonous, and the sun shines through the windshield on the face for a long time, and there is a tingling sensation.

Juncao's helmet was already soaked, and he knew that his hair must be wet with sweat and clinging to his scalp. The itching taste was very uncomfortable, but Juncao didn't reach out to scratch it, and the first thing he learned when he joined the army was patience.

"Crystal~~"

At this moment, a bright color flashed in Jun Cao's eyes. He could see clearly that it was a light dangling between the dirt and rocks on the road ahead. But he didn't care, he thought it was probably a hallucination that he was a little too tired.

"Bang !!"

"Bang Bang !!"

But just as he was thinking this, there was a loud bang from under the car, followed by a violent jolt.

"Got a flat tire."

This was the first thought in Jun Cao's mind, and he was very strange about it. Because this is so abnormal, the maintenance of their army is extremely rigorous, it is absolutely impossible to let the truck be equipped with substandard tires on the road, how can it be possible to puncture a tire in the middle of the journey? Just as he was thinking this, a sudden sensation of heat came from his chest. The heat comes and goes quickly. After passing through his chest like a fire, the military cao immediately fell into an ice cellar again.

He lowered his head with difficulty, and a fist-sized bloody hole appeared in his chest.

"It turned out that I was shot, and I was going to die...... ......"

"Dada......"

At the last moment when Jun Cao's consciousness disappeared, a dense burst of gunfire had already sounded outside the car. The squadron leader had already realized that he had been attacked, but he never expected that the military cao who had just been reprimanded by him would actually say that their baggage force was really attacked!

"How can this be?! Isn't Lingqiu already under the control of the Imperial Army?! ”

The squad leader got out of the car angrily, and just as he was about to command his subordinates to counterattack, he was shocked to find that all the trucks of the baggage force he led had broken down. His own soldiers also lost a lot, and at the same time a large number of enemies rushed down from the mountains!

"This ......"

The squad leader could be described as a master of the six gods at this time, and he swore that he had never seen such an enemy. Among them were not only soldiers with all kinds of guns, but also peasants with large swords and spears! That's right, it's the peasants, the kind of ordinary people who don't wear any military uniforms!

"Yaga !!"

The squad leader drew his command knife and did his best to integrate his subordinates. However, his squad of baggage troops is still a little watery compared to the real main elite troops. In the face of many enemies, he has no ability to resist at all.

"Yaga!"

The last of his backbone made him not choose timidity, and the Japanese squad leader rushed towards his enemies like the legendary heroes he admired when he was younger, holding his sword high.

"Smack!"

Without any hesitation, Liu Chuan raised his hand and shot the Japanese squad leader to death. Looking at this unknown enemy, he did not make any comment.

"Don't be stingy with bullets, and don't fight with white-knuckle enemies that can be solved with bullets."

As he spoke, Liu Chuan and the soldiers of the four companies he led practiced pulling the trigger, and in a short time, the Japanese squad was wiped out.

"Inventory and seize, take everything you can!"

After issuing the order to the soldiers, Liu Chuan turned his head to look at the captain of the Caijiayu militia who was following them.

"Captain Li, thank you for the help you have provided us this time."

"Battalion Commander Liu, you are out of sight when you say this. We're just doing a little favor, where is the grass cutter gone? ”

The straw rolling knife that Captain Li said actually played a role in this battle not as small as he said. In fact, this method was not the first of the 424th Regiment, which was also learned by Yue Siliang from other brother troops after the Battle of Pingxingguan. At that time, the brother troops in the Qiaogou direction used this method to intercept the 100 or so trucks of the Japanese army.

……

In Lingqiu County, Xicun angrily smashed several pieces of porcelain one after another. Nishimura is very fond of Chinese porcelain, which is usually his treasure, but now he uses these exquisite objects as a punching bag to vent his anger, which shows how angry he has become.

"Nishio-kun! You get the idea now! They are not enemies to ignore! You said that they didn't have the courage to come out of their lair and clash with us head-on, but the current situation is that they really didn't have any head-on clashes with us, but they turned the entire countryside of Lingqiu County into their lair! ”

"Captain Nishimura, I take back my previous arrogance, and I admit that I shouldn't underestimate these enemies. Now it's time for us to put aside our old suspicions and work together to deal with this enemy. ”

Nishio's tone was very sincere, which surprised Nishimura. To be honest, he has always been very wary and disgusted with this staff officer in his heart. In the Japanese army, the status of staff officers is generally relatively high, and a person like Nishio, who serves as a staff officer in a grassroots combat unit, is almost certain that he will be promoted to become the military chief of a certain unit in the future.

It is precisely because of this that Nishimura is so disgusted with Nishio. In his opinion, Nishio's coming to the Nishimura Brigade was completely gilding, and his troops were the steps to advance. But now Nishio's performance has made Nishimura have a slight change in his opinion.

"Nishio-kun, I'm glad you got to know me like this. However, the problems before us are by no means solvable by attitude. We and the enemy are now like two animals in a big forest, we are a tiger and the enemy is a cunning wild deer.

Although the wild deer is only the food of the tiger's mouth, it can run in the forest unscrupulously, while the tiger can only stay in its own cave and cannot take the initiative to hunt the wild deer. And it would be difficult for a tiger to catch a wild deer even if it left its burrow, after all, the forest was too big for both. To make matters worse, the wild deer is in the middle of the forest, and it can find food at any time, but the tiger cannot. ”

Staff Officer Nishio twisted his Nishidanhu and agreed with Nishimura's words.

"Captain, I like this analogy of yours. Now our relationship with this Eighth Route Army unit is indeed very much like that of a tiger and a cunning wild deer. But I don't think the tiger is alone in this forest. Wild deer are cunning, but there are also more cunning and weak animals in the forest, such as herds of foxes.

Foxes are cunning and cruel. But they were afraid of the majesty of the tiger. I think we can give the foxes something to do, and I'm sure the foxes can do a good job. ”

Nishio's words made Nishimura's eyes light up at that time, and the other party's words could be said to wake him up.

"Nishio-kun, what do you mean ......"

"That's right, not everything in Lingqiu needs us to do it. We only have more than 1,000 people, and it is very likely that we will be transferred elsewhere in the future. The Chinese's affairs should be left to the Chinese to solve, and Chesang should be able to do very well. ”

"Che Sang... Che Wanji? That's a really good candidate. ”
