Knowing the traces of the devil and the route of the shortcut, Lu Yuan relaxed as obviously as everyone else.

After eating, most of them began to rest, to gather strength for tomorrow's journey, and they slept soundly around the fire, huddled together to keep warm, and wandered in their dreams.

And Lu Yuan, Xu Yun and the others are still discussing the action plan, pulling the lone wolf who has eaten together, and determining the action plan for each place, this matter is very important, and they dare not take it lightly.

At the same time, under the shroud of darkness, on the positions of Pingguan Bridge and Sanshanling, the bloody battle was really going on.

Shouts, roars, and gunfire were all in one, and the air was full of blood, as if you could pinch a handful of blood!

The ground seemed to have been plowed by a plowshare, and everywhere was densely covered with craters and traces of gunsmoke, and on this day, more than a dozen offensive and defensive battles were fought on these two positions, and the Japanese occupied the outer positions with strong firepower and intensive offensives.

And after nightfall, the ** side took advantage of the night to launch a night attack, two hundred daredevils armed with broadswords and grenades, risking death to rush into the position to fight, everyone when they fell, they all pulled the grenade in their arms, in the light of the explosion, they and the devils around them were blown to pieces.

The ** troops behind took advantage of the situation to cover up and kill, and finally recaptured the position, seeing the smashed corpses on the position, many soldiers were crying, and then wiped away their tears, telling themselves that they were there, and the position was there!

If the devil wants to pass through here, he must step over his own corpse!

"These guys are not the same as before"

Kazuo Yamashima, the commander of the Japanese army who was observing the battle situation with a telescope, said quietly, he saw the faces of those ** who rushed up with bullets as dense as splashing water, and saw their resolute and tragic faces when they dragged their bodies full of bullet holes into the crowd to detonate grenades, and he obviously felt that these soldiers were really different from before.

From the Northeast, to Shanghai, and then here, although the squadron was defeated without exception in the confrontation with them, he could feel from each rout of these people that they gradually became tenacious and tenacious, while on the Japanese side, the elite veterans were rapidly decreasing, and more and more recruits who had been trained for only half a year were replenished!

The combat effectiveness of the imperial army does not seem to have weakened much, but every experienced commander can clearly feel that his troops are losing their sharpness, while the opposing army is gradually growing in the battle!

Kazuo Yamashima was a little vaguely afraid, afraid that if this war continued like this, I was afraid that one day, the fighting strength of the Shina army would surpass that of the emperor's army, and at that time, it would be a catastrophe for the entire Japanese Empire!

"These pigs are indeed becoming more and more afraid of death, but the general don't worry, they are just dying, we will end this war before they become truly strong!"

The adjutant said: "According to the battle plan of the military department, our troops in Pingguan Bridge and Sanshanling, as long as they can consume the living strength of the Zhina Army to the greatest extent, let them hoard heavy troops in these two places, and cannot divide the troops to the tiger, it will be regarded as a completion of the task!" ”

"That's right, it seems that I'm old, and I'm already starting to suffer from gains and losses!"

Kazuo Yamashima smiled, and then asked: "The traffic around is inconvenient, we are in a hurry all the way, and the nourishment we bring can only be used for five days, what is the situation of the supply team behind?" When will it arrive? If the supply cannot be delayed for a long time, and this side cannot be attacked for a long time, it will affect the morale of the soldiers, and it will be very unfavorable to the battle situation! ”

"I just used a secret telegram to contact the military department, plus the four wings of the Tiger Killing, there are a total of 25,000 people in the nine wings here, and the supplies are all escorted by the Nakano Wing, and they can be sent over separately in two days at most, the Nakano Wing is commanded by Miyamoto Gang Nakasa, nearly three thousand are deployed, and it will be fine!" The adjutant laughed.

Kazuo Yamashima was relieved when he heard this, and said: "In the defense area here, except for a small group of rout refugees, there is no large-scale army at all, and Miyamoto Nakasa is even more famous and has rich command experience, so there will indeed be no accidents, but the captain of the Ninth Wing of the Asaka Palace is in charge of the commander-in-chief and is responsible for the sneak attack on the tiger killing, which makes me a little uneasy."

"There are more than 10,000 people in the four wings, and it is a sneak attack, and the tiger is only about 2,000 people in one regiment, and the captain of the Asaka wing should be successful," the adjutant said.

Kazuo Yamashima just sighed lightly and didn't answer, but said in his heart, Asaka is the emperor's family, and he has no combat experience but thinks very highly of himself, and there may be no problem in ordinary battles or downwind battles, but once the battle is not smooth or enters a tug-of-war, and is commanded by a commander with little combat experience, I don't know how many of the emperor's soldiers will die needlessly.

At this moment, Chaoxiang Gong Qizheng led the team to march towards the Tiger Killing Pass through the dark night, and being allowed to undertake such an important task this time was a great opportunity for him to make meritorious contributions, so he decided to firmly grasp this opportunity.

Therefore, he gathered all the small groups of subordinates nearby, otherwise the news of the troops' stealth would leak in the slightest, and all those who found the traces of the troops demanded that they all be killed to avoid leaking secrets.

What made him angry was that the day before yesterday, a team of bandits dared to sneak up on his vanguard, and several bandits actually took advantage of their familiarity with the terrain to escape, and these guys might reveal their military intentions.

There is also the guy named Lu Yuan, who is still alive, and has a tendency to jump more and more happily, and has actually pulled out a team of nearly 1,000 people, although the team is only a group of refugees, but it has not weak combat effectiveness.

He was vaguely worried, worried that this team would cause a lot of trouble for him.

But I'm afraid he won't, after all, he has a team of more than 10,000 people, and the other party is only a few hundred, just don't come, if he comes, his troops will definitely swallow the other party in one bite!

It was only a day's journey from Tiger Kill, and he was confident that his team would be able to reach Tiger Kill Mouth tomorrow night, and he felt that if all went well, he hoped to sit down and enjoy breakfast at Tiger Kill Mouth before sunrise on the 20th.

"Brother, I've embarrassed you"

Asakanomiya Qidao, the troops led by him and Yoshikawa, not long after they joined the large army, thought that they had failed to complete the predetermined battle plan and were defeated miserably in the hands of Lu Yuan, and they felt extremely ashamed.

"It's okay, I'm your brother, so I won't blame you!"

Chaoxiang Gongjiu patted him on the shoulder and said viciously: "You are ashamed, that is, I am ashamed, don't worry, sooner or later I will cut off that guy's head and give you my shame!" ”

The night is silent, but the wind and thunder are faint.

The tiger kills the mouth, and the array gradually becomes the core area of the entire defense line, which may trigger a battle like thunder and fire at any time.
