Sakata Eiji did not have much confidence in the fighting qualities of the Imperial Allied Army, but he still ordered the pursuit to be exhausted.

First, he despised the life of the Imperial Army, and it was not a pity to die; The second is that he hated the murderer who had killed the imperial soldiers, and he was unwilling to give up.

Moreover, Sakata also believes that the murderer's constant sniping shows that he is weak and afraid, and wants to rely on this method to deter the pursuers.

The general rule of thumb is that when the enemy tries to make you afraid of something, you must never feel afraid, and you must make the enemy think that you are not only not afraid, but also likes to do so.

In other words, when the enemy doesn't want you to advance, you have to do the opposite, and this principle is usually very effective when dealing with the enemy, and Sakata applied it at this time.

Shen Chen was still leading the enemy to run farther and farther, and his retreat route was flickering left and right, which was actually not easy.

In order to avoid being copied by a roundabout enemy, he has to move diagonally and sideways from time to time, and zigzag forward is more physically demanding than pursuing the enemy in a straight line.

Even so, in order to make the detour successful, the middle pursuers led by Sakata did not rush at full speed regardless of everything, and did not put more pressure on Shen Chen, so that he could maintain a relatively calm posture.

Moreover, in the role of chase and flight, the fleeing party also has the power to choose the route, and can change direction from left to right.

Plunging headlong into the woods, Shen Chen rolled on the ground. A few bullets came in a chaotic manner, far from his body.

Although he didn't seem to be threatening, Shen Chen's actions were still meticulous. It's not that he's afraid that there are sharpshooters in the Imperial Army, but that a guy is too lucky and can shoot himself blindly.

Under the cover of the trees, Shen Chen turned around and fought again, shooting at the enemy, hitting two more enemies. Then, taking advantage of the poor vision in the woods, he moved quickly with the cat on his waist.

The enemy suffered another loss, and after lying down and firing indiscriminately, he was forced by Sakata to continue the pursuit. But after this delay, the distance between them and Shen Chen was also widened a little.

Sakata was panting, tired, but he wasn't ready to give up. He couldn't stand the defeat, he couldn't stand the lack of gain, and he didn't want to just withdraw his troops in a hurry.

With a little more effort, you're close to success. Countless people have encouraged themselves in this way when faced with a choice, and Sakata is now thinking the same way.

He was convinced that his opponents in front of him were just as tired, and he was sure that the number of shots he had dropped dramatically from turning around.

"The enemy is just as toiling, just as tired, and is rushing to death in a panic." Sakata roared to boost the low morale of the Imperial Army, "Catch up and work harder." Kill the enemy and get a reward. ”

The mood of the Imperial Concordant Army seemed to be lifted a little, and it continued to catch up with tired steps.

Unbeknownst to Sakata, the opponent who fled in front of him had a chance to snipe him. It wasn't much, but it was enough for him to fall to the ground like a dead dog, bleeding dry.

Shen Chen knew that if there were no Japanese devils to supervise the formation, the Imperial Association army would have been dragged down by cold guns and exhaustion, and would have retreated back to the village long ago.

If you want to stop the pursuit, the commander who snipes the enemy is definitely his first choice. But now, he is afraid that the enemy will not pursue, lest the enemy will not chase far enough.

Not far ahead is the ambush place of Lao Zhou's people, which is not particularly dangerous. If it is particularly dangerous, it will make the enemy hesitate and dare not feel at ease to ambush.

Shen Chen ran into the ravine quickly, and when he was halfway through, he didn't forget to turn around and shoot a shot.

Crossing the ravine, Shen Chen joined up with the two guerrillas, stopped, and used the set position to shoot at the pursuing enemy.

On the other side is the enemy, who are finally too tired to run, and are they here in a dying struggle?

Sakamoto's heart was filled with bloodthirsty excitement and fanaticism, and he shouted loudly and commanded the Imperial Allied Army to open fire on the enemy.

In his opinion, the number of enemies was only a few, which was consistent with the confession of the wounded of the Imperial Association Army who were abandoned by Shen Chen and others.

After a burst of shooting, Shen Chen and the others retreated in panic. And Sakamoto, fearing that the enemy would escape, immediately waved his command knife without hesitation, and with a howl, his subordinates chased after him.

"Kill, charge" The Imperial Concordia army mustered up its courage, howled, and pounced forward with guns.

After a long and dreary pursuit, there was finally a chance to destroy the enemy. Moreover, it seems that this group of enemies will only attack with cold guns, and face-to-face combat will not work.

In war, the change of the commander's mood has a great relationship with the victory or defeat of the army, and the commander's impulsiveness or calmness, timidity or recklessness often determines the outcome of the war and the fate of countless soldiers.

Sakamoto, who was occupied by anger, had completely lost his mind under the repeated provocations of Shen Chen and others. Like a mad beast, he commanded the Imperial Army to rush into the ravine.

This not only put himself in danger, but also led his soldiers into a hell from which he could never recover.

The Imperial Association army at the front was almost about to rush through this dozens of meters long ravine, when a bullet suddenly flew head-on, his body paused, and he fell to the ground.

Shen Chen and his comrades stopped fleeing, turned around and shot, temporarily blocking the Imperial Alliance Army in a ravine more than ten meters wide and five or six meters high.

This attack was just right, making the ranks of the Imperial Alliance army more closely spaced, and they all rushed into the place of death.

Take advantage of the fact that the enemy is in the ravine and the line of sight is blocked. The team members who were in ambush in the mountains and forests quickly rushed out, ran through the saddle-like terrain, and rushed to the top of the ravine.

"Smack!" Shen Chen calmly fired and killed a petty officer wielding a pistol, causing the charge of the Imperial Alliance Army to delay again.

"Rush up, rush up." Sakamoto Eiji roared, but he hid behind, and he was also a little afraid of the gunman opposite.

The Imperial Allied Army lay on the ground and shot desperately, in order to cover up his greed for life and fear of death, and did not dare to get up. And their cowering finally enabled the guerrillas to complete the overwhelming ambush.

From the top of the ditch, a black crushed grenade suddenly appeared, which fell like rain, rolling on the ground with green smoke, and the Imperial Concordant soldiers were frightened and panicked, and screamed.

The continuous explosions of "boom boom boom ......" were one after another, and the metal storm instantly flooded the enemy in the ditch, and the screams were one after another, which was immediately muffled by another wave of explosions.

Gunshots, explosions, and screams rang out, and the enemy suffered heavy casualties and were knocked unconscious. Some lay still on their stomachs, some got up and ran backwards, some raised their guns to shoot upwards, and some scurried around to hide.

The ravine was filled with gunsmoke and the sound of explosions was deafening. The team members condescended to strike at the enemy, so that the enemy had nowhere to hide.

More than 20 Imperial Allies barely had the strength to fight back, and most of them were killed and wounded, and they were completely annihilated.

The sound of gunfire and explosions gradually stopped, and the smoke of gunpowder was blown away by the cold wind, presenting a messy battlefield. Wisps of smoke and steam were still emitting from the craters, and mutilated bodies were lying in the frozen ground of snow.

Some of the corpses were turned into hornet's nests, burlap bags, stumps and broken arms, tattered guns were thrown everywhere, blood and brains were mixed and flowing on the ground, and a few wounded and undead Imperial Allies lay on the ground and wailed.

Sakamoto Eiji could no longer howl, he fell miserably on the snow, and a grenade that exploded in the air blew him up beyond recognition.

The cold wind was blowing, the smell of gunpowder smoke in the air was already very light, and the ground was full of craters, and some were still steaming.

Broken weapons and limbs, a land full of blood, all kinds of corpses, she frowned when they were presented alive in front of Chang Chunling.

Most of the enemies were killed by grenades, and such deaths were especially bloody and horrific, with severed limbs, broken guns, and bloody flesh almost everywhere in the ditch.

This is the battlefield, a battlefield full of blood, Chang Chunling forced herself not to show anything unusual, and pretended to pull her neckline to cover her mouth.

"The first squad continues to be on guard, and the second squad cleans up the battlefield." Lao Zhou stood up, waved his hand, and gave an order.

Although this group of enemies was completely annihilated, the overall situation is still unclear. I don't know what Zhao Tie's men and horses are doing, and what the other enemies are doing.

At that time, the communication conditions were like this, and there were not even many radio stations for devils, let alone local troops. Hurry by walking, communication by roaring, in fact, it is true.

Therefore, despite the fact that it is a narrow area with a radius of less than ten miles, it is also very difficult to engage in any coordinated operations.

Therefore, there are many options for operational planning, and it is also because it is impossible to grasp the changes in the enemy's situation in a timely manner and know the actions of friendly forces, so that commanders are left with greater room for flexibility.

For example, now, Lao Zhou doesn't know whether Zhao Tie led people to attack Chen Village, or if he followed behind this group of enemies, and he would be able to arrive soon.

Shen Chen walked over with a gun on his shoulder. The ambush was successful, and he took the most credit and exerted the most physical strength. Even if you are fighting and running, you have to show fatigue, although it is not very obvious.

"Good work, Xiaochen." Lao Zhou greeted him and said with concern: "Sit down and rest, and wait until the ......battlefield is cleaned up."

Shen Chen shook his head and said, "Uncle Zhou, we can't delay, we have to act continuously." There are also two roundabout ways to intercept the enemy, and there are only about a dozen people on each way, and it is estimated that they will arrive soon. Or, they feel that the momentum is not good and will turn around and flee. ”

Lao Zhou did not know these circumstances, and as soon as he heard about it, he knew that for the guerrillas, there were good opportunities to break through and attack the enemy.

"Throw down the wounded prisoners first, and carry the captured ones on their backs if they are not injured, and we will catch up and catch the enemy by surprise."

Lao Zhou nodded vigorously, and immediately beckoned the two squad leaders to speed up the cleaning of the battlefield, and did not collect the fragments first, only took guns and ammunition.

Shen Chen stood at the top of the ditch, holding a telescope to look out. Due to the complex terrain, the two roundabout enemies did not know where they were.

With one command, the speed of cleaning up the battlefield will be faster. Although they confessed that they only seized guns and ammunition, some team members still took off a few relatively intact coats and wore them on their bodies to protect against the cold.

After the team members carried out the order and gathered the whole team, Shen Chen had not yet discovered the specific location of the enemy.

"Uncle Zhou." Shen Chen frowned slightly, came to Lao Zhou's side, and said, "It's not easy to deal with a head-on attack, and you can't find the specific location of the enemy!" I think we might as well go straight in the way of this enemy. ”

Lao Zhou blinked his eyes and immediately understood Shen Chen's intentions.

This one of the enemies pursued in a straight line, while the other two enemies took a detour. One is to walk the bowstring, the other is to walk the bowback, and the distance of the road is definitely different.

It was a good idea for the guerrillas to stick their way along the bowstring and wait near the village of Chen. Anyway, the enemy always has to go back on two ways, and the probability of blocking one of them, or even two, is very high.

"Okay, that's a good idea." Lao Zhou hesitated, a little embarrassed to let Shen Chen continue to suffer.

"I'll take two of them as spearheads." Shen Chen took the initiative to ask for help, but he didn't embarrass Lao Zhou.

In terms of combat quality, alertness and prudence, Shen Chen is the highest in the guerrillas, and far surpasses others. In such a situation where the enemy situation is not clear, it is of course the safest and most suitable for him to take the lead in reconnaissance.

"Yu Baogen, Cao Xiaobao, you follow Xiaochen." Lao Zhou shouted loudly, one is a living map, the other is good marksmanship, following Shen Chen's side is somewhat of a help.

Shen Chen didn't talk nonsense, and ran out first, followed by Yu Baogen and Cao Xiaobao.

Besides, the Imperial Allied Army, which was intercepted by two circuitous ways, was actually the product of Sakata Eiji's erroneous command.

Because of the complex terrain in the mountainous areas, it is very difficult to divide the troops and outflank, and it can even be said that it is wrong. God knows how far the outflanked centaurs will go and where they will go?

Du Ronghe, with eight or nine imperial allies, continued to advance. They gasped for breath, their steps heavy as if they had been filled with lead.

But Du Ronghe knew the violence of the Japanese advisers, especially Sakata Eiji, he didn't dare to stop, even if he moved, he had to meet Sakata.

"Captain—" An Imperial Concordant was so tired that he almost stuck out his tongue, "We seem to have taken the wrong path, and it's useless to die of exhaustion if we go this way!" ”

Du Ronghe looked around, pointed to the hill in front of him, and said breathlessly: "When you get to the top, you can see clearly." Listen, the gunshots are not far away, not necessarily the wrong way. ”

Yes, the intermittent gunfire was right in front of the side, and it must have been Sakata leading the men in pursuit. In this way, their detour has completely failed.

Finally climbed the hill, Du Ronghe was so tired that he couldn't move, panting, holding on to a small tree, looking into the distance.

Suddenly, the sound of gunfire in the distance suddenly became intense.

Du Ronghe frowned, wondering if Sakata had caught up with the enemy and was engaged in a fierce firefight.

Before he could figure out what was going on, the sound of explosions came from a distance like thunder.

At this moment, Du Ronghe's face changed. Although he was not sure yet, a sense of foreboding hung over him.

"Captain, this, this is not quite right!" An Imperial Allied Army looked suspicious and leaned closer, "With such a big movement, it can't be fighting with an enemy, right?" ”

Of course not!

Du Ronghe also knew that the men and horses brought by Sakata must be in trouble.

Did Sakata defeat the enemy, or did they fall into a trap and suffer heavy losses? If you continue to move forward and support Sakata, will you be throwing yourself into the net? But if you want to retreat, if Sakata is fine, will he spare himself?
