Chapter 101: Making Wedding Dresses for Others
Thirty kilometers away, it is Luojiadian!
As long as they retreat to Luojiadian and make peace with the Fifth Division, then the Chinese army will have nothing to do with itself. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Kiyoichi Kawakami and Mamoru Kawamoto, who had become tired of being a dog, glanced at each other, and both saw a kind of happiness in each other's eyes for the rest of their lives.
Seiichi Kawakami has completely lost the high-spirited appearance he had when he set off, the combat cap on his head didn't know where he had lost it, his short hair was wet with sweat and messily stuck to his scalp, the military uniform made of tweed had already been filthy, and he could hardly see the original appearance, and the wind and discipline buckle on the neckline was even more open at this time, and the button was gone.
The two of them were still tired like this, not to mention the other Japanese soldiers, many of whom were already exhausted and exhausted. Since they set out on the first line, they have been exhausted all the way, and they have been constantly harassed by the falcon team and the Chinese army.
In addition, Kawakami Kiyoichi gave up the wounded soldiers cruelly, which hit the morale of the Japanese soldiers deeply, and many people were worried in their hearts, for fear that they would be the next person to be abandoned.
"Kawasami-kun, I think, let's rest on the spot, the soldiers are too tired, like this, we can't hold on to Luojiadian at all." Sumomoru Kawamoto gasped and said to Kiyoichi Kawakami.
Kawakami Kiyoshi looked ahead expressionlessly, looked back at the road, and saw that there were no pursuers behind him for the time being, so he said: "Okay, order the troops, rest in place for half an hour, and after half an hour, go straight to Luojiadian with all your might!" ”
The Japanese army has now become a frightened bird, and for the sake of insurance, Kawamoto Momoru still sent a squad of troops from the tense force to search and advance in advance.
"Kawakami-kun, we were really careless this time." Looking at the Japanese soldiers sitting on the ground, Momoru Kawamoto picked up the kettle, poured a sip of water, and said depressedly.
Kiyoshi Kawakami nodded: "Yes, we are overly optimistic and underestimate the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army." After returning home, it is estimated that the commander will not give up. Alas, I'll be court-martialed. ”
Seeing that Kawakami Seiichi's mood was a little low, Momoru Kawamoto hurriedly cheered him on: "Don't be so discouraged Kawakami-kun, this time we set off in a hurry, and many situations were not taken into account." Speaking of which, I can only blame the idiots of the intelligence agency for being too stupid, and they don't even know anything about such a large-scale mobilization of troops! If you really want to talk about it, they are also to blame! Besides, you have a teacher-student friendship with Your Excellency the Commander, and I believe that he will not embarrass you. ”
So far, Kawakami Kiyoichi can only take one step at a time, how Nishio Shouzo will send him, that is a matter for the future, and the most important thing now is to get rid of the pursuit of the Chinese army as soon as possible and make peace with the Fifth Division, in that case, things will also have a turning point.
The two of them had their own thoughts, and they stopped talking at the moment, drinking water silently.
Twenty minutes later, Momoru Kawamoto asked Kiyoichi Kawakami with a puzzled expression, "Kawakami-kun, it's been almost half an hour since the search team set off, why hasn't there been any news coming back at all?" ”
Listening to Kawamoto Sumomori's words, Kiyoichi Kawakami's face changed, and he ordered urgently: "Order the troops, stop resting, and set off immediately!" ”
Nearly half an hour passed, and the search party sent out was as silent as mud cows into the sea, and the fool knew that they were probably more than lucky.
At this time, Kawakami Seiichi should no longer rashly divide his troops. At present, unlike in the past, the Chinese army occupies an absolute advantage in terms of strength, and if the Japanese army divides its forces to search, it will only make its originally weak forces more dispersed, and when the time comes, they will definitely be broken by each and eaten one by one.
Hearing that they were about to set off again, the Japanese soldiers wailed. If it weren't for the Chinese army chasing after them, they really didn't want to go any further. Seeing that the soldiers were lazy and unwilling to move, several military officers scolded loudly and angrily while mercilessly waving their belts to drive them away.
Not long after walking, the Japanese stopped in front of a valley.
This canyon is not very long, only about a thousand meters long, and the mouth of the valley is relatively spacious, but the further you go in, the narrower it becomes, and the rocky mountains on both sides are also easy to defend and difficult to attack. As long as the Eighth Route Army ambushed a company of troops on the side of the road, it could effectively block the valley floor.
Fortunately, this valley is not the only way to Luojiadian, two kilometers to the west, around this hill, through Hanzhuang, it is a big road to Luojiadian. It's just that in this way, the distance is a little farther, and it will take an extra hour.
After a battle in the first line of heaven, Seiichi Kawakami and Mamoru Kawamoto almost suffered from valley phobia. The two of them stood at the mouth of the valley and hesitated for a long time, and then Kawakami Kiyoichi decided that he was not strong enough now, so he should not take the risk, Kawakami Kiyoichi ordered, and the troops quickly turned around, bypassed the valley to the west, passed through Hanzhuang, and went straight to Luojiadian.
In their opinion, in such a dangerous terrain, as long as the Eighth Route Army is not a fool, it will definitely not sit idly by, and must have ambushed a large number of troops on both sides, waiting for them to throw themselves into the net.
It's just that he never dreamed that he would be put on the throne again.
Jiang Shan had long noticed this canyon on the map, and at first, Liang Jianbin also suggested setting up ambushes on both sides of the canyon to wait for the Japanese army to throw themselves into the net, but his proposal was rejected by Jiang Shan without hesitation.
If this road is the only way to Luojiadian, then Liang Jianbin must be the safest and most feasible. Because if the Japanese army did not cross the valley, they could only sit in place and wait for death. When it comes time to fight against the odds, they have no choice.
But the problem is that there is another way to go besides this canyon - Hanzhuang!
Compared to this canyon, Hanzhuang is simply a broad avenue. It is located in a plain area, the terrain is gentle, there is no dangerous place, and it is almost impossible to set up ambushes.
The Japanese army has now become a frightened bird, and any wind and grass may completely collapse their tense nerves, so when facing the dangerous canyon and the relative safety of Hanzhuang, Kawakami Seiichi will definitely not risk choosing to cross the canyon.
This time, Seiichi Kawakami chose a safe route between adventure and caution, but this time, he chose the wrong one. Because in Hanzhuang, the Eighth Route Army has already tied his pockets, just waiting for him to walk in step by step!
