"Retreat, reinforce the remaining squadrons......" Harada Nakasa ordered with a calm face.

He can't afford to gamble, if the back road is cut off, the Eighth Route Army really plans to break through each and kill themselves, then the entire army will be finished~

Therefore, he decided to give up the hundreds of imperial troops that were divided out in front of him, and first keep the remaining nearly 1,000 imperial troops around him!

The devil quickly turned, carrying light and heavy machine guns, dragging mountain artillery and infantry guns, and ran towards the remaining squadron.

"Battalion commander, the main force of the devils has retreated...... If he knew that there was only one dissatisfied infantry company attacking the squadron he left behind, even if he gave them one night, he might not be able to take it, and the devil commander would definitely be so angry that he vomited blood! The deputy battalion commander next to him shouted excitedly.

"Your move is too high, true or false, so that the little devil can't figure out our true strength, so he can only retreat!"

The invalids, who had been staring at the battlefield with binoculars, did not show any smile on their faces. Instead, he ordered with a serious face: "Lao Zhang, see the devil walking in the artillery unit at the rear!" Take two or three companies, give me a hard beating, and directly attack their artillery units, maybe you can even grab a few mountain guns and infantry guns! ”

"By the way, let the devil even more unclear about our real strength, speed up and don't retreat!"

After running for nearly three hours in a row, the mixed brigade of the Japanese army, which retreated in a hurry, was very tired despite the fact that the brigade commander, Major General Shibasaki, had a war horse.

Not to mention ordinary soldiers, carrying dozens of pounds of weapons, ammunition and clothing, plus there is no rest at night, and they rush for a day during the day. Now that he is marching all the way, even if he is an iron-clad man, he will not be able to hold it at this time.

Seeing that the marching speed of the troops was getting slower and slower, the deputy next to him couldn't help but remind: "General, the soldiers are too tired~"

"Do you want everyone to rest for ten minutes before leaving...... I'm afraid that if we continue to go on like this, everyone will not be able to hold on and fall behind! ”

"Also, the sound of the horse's hooves galloping can be heard from several kilometers away, and now there is no sound of horses' hooves, it must be our Royal Highness troops who have blocked them!"

"Then rest for ten minutes, and then continue to set off in ten minutes!" Major General Shibasaki hesitated for a long time and decided.

A few kilometers away, Ma Houshi and more than 200 cavalry made a long circle before finally returning to the road.

"Battalion commander, the devil is four kilometers in front of us, and now we can kill them, it only takes ten minutes to kill them by surprise~ I suggest that the cavalry battalion directly raid the past!" The deputy battalion commander proposed with excitement on his face.

Ma Houshi hesitated and shook his head and replied, "No! ”

"Remember the troops of the palace that the devil left behind just now! I don't want to do it again and get a cavalry platoon killed by them for no reason! ”

"In order to slow down our pursuit, the light and heavy machine guns equipped by the devils must be concentrated at the back of the line. As soon as we start to assault, they will know that we have killed them, and the so-called surprise is all our own thoughts, and it is impossible to kill the devil by surprise! ”

"Maybe when the time comes, the devil will kill us again, and it is possible that we will be caught off guard. Don't forget that from here to the time the raid is engaged, there are ten minutes in between. The devils in front of us are all elite, and ten minutes is enough for them to set up a line of defense with light and heavy machine guns! ”

"What then?" The deputy battalion commander asked rhetorically with a frown.

"Continue to detour, bypass the devils, get in front of them or flank, lurk, and then launch a surprise attack at close range!" Ma Houshi decided.

"The light and heavy machine guns of the devils are concentrated at the back of the team, and the automatic fire in the front and middle is definitely insufficient, even if they want to block us, they don't have enough firepower!"

"And I want a close-range raid that won't give them much time to prepare!"

"As long as our cavalry battalion rushes to the highway and engages the little devils, the initiative on the battlefield will be in our hands."

"When the time comes, no matter how elite the little devil is, he can't be the opponent of our cavalry in close combat!"

"Good way!" The deputy battalion commander's frowning brow relaxed suddenly.

After ten minutes of rest, the devil continued to hurry, and at this time, the speed of the troops' march was noticeably faster. Major General Shibasaki's nerves, which had been tense for several hours, slowly relaxed!

"General, there are still three hours before dawn, as long as the aviation comes over in time, we will be completely safe!" The adjutant next to him couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

A captain followed up and added: "I haven't heard the sound of cavalry chasing after me yet, there is only one possibility, they are still being stopped by our troops behind the palace." Even if they break through the interception of our Royal Highness troops now, and when they catch up with us all the way, it will be almost dawn, and we can still send a Royal Highness force to continue to block them until the aviation arrives! ”

Although Major General Shibasaki was also relieved, he still reminded: "Having said that, we still can't let our guard down!" ”

"I haven't seen a new group before, but this time I have seen it completely!"

"The deepest impression on me is cunning, they are too cunning, they don't play cards according to common sense at all, they often like to be surprised!"

"In the face of such an opponent, we have to be cautious and cautious. There's no guarantee when they'll come up with a new trick against us! ”

"Boom ......"

As soon as Major General Shibasaki finished speaking, a sound of horses' hooves came over and became louder and louder.

"Bage Yalu, he will come to whatever he is afraid of, the cavalry has killed, draw out a heavy machine gun squadron, an infantry squadron, establish a defensive line on the spot, block them, and never let them raid our troops!" Major General Shibasaki, whose face suddenly turned pale, shouted loudly.

The stretched brow also wrinkled into a big Sichuan character at this moment.

The adjutant next to him didn't move, but reminded with a face full of fear.

"General, the sound of horses' hooves seems to be coming from the front, not from the back!"

His already pale face became even paler at this time, and he became frightened, and shouted with a shocked face: "Ahead, how could they run ahead of us!" ”

After only a few seconds, Major General Shibasaki had a look of sudden realization on his face.

"I see, they must have crossed the blockade line of our troops behind our palace a long time ago, but they have not raided us all this time, but have made a detour to our front and flank, and then attack!"

"What a cunning Eighth Route Army, we concentrated almost all the light and heavy machine guns in the rearguard troops, and the troops in front had almost no automatic firepower. Once it is attacked by cavalry, there is no equipment to fight back! ”

The adjutant and the captain next to him were in a hurry.

They were all veterans and knew very well what would happen to a group of riflemen in front of the cavalry.

As soon as his face changed, he asked, "General, what should we do then?" ”

"There's a way!" Major General Shibasaki gritted his teeth and replied with a painful face!
