Chapter 542: Winter Sweep (18)

At the same time, Hong Yu led his troops to advance to a place about two blocks away from the Devil's Command. Here, Hong Yu and the others met with stubborn resistance from the garrison squadron of the Devil Division. In the face of the dense firepower of the Japanese garrison squadron, Hong Yu immediately asked the soldiers to set up grenadiers and fired grenades at the position of the devils.

Listening to the sound of gunfire and grenade explosions getting closer and closer, Tataro said: "Pass my order, and all the people in the headquarters are ready for battle!" ”

"Hey!" The officers and soldiers present responded in unison and divided into preparations.

After about a quarter of an hour, a soldier hurried to the side of Ganji Jutaro and said, "Your Excellency, the arsenal and the material warehouse are lost!" ”

"Nani?!" When Tataro Kanji heard the news, his face changed greatly. Because arsenals and material warehouses store large quantities of weapons, ammunition and supplies. The contents of these two warehouses were prepared for the Second Battle of Changsha. If there is any failure in these weapons, ammunition and materials, if there is no substitute for the dead ghost, he can only apologize.

Coming back to his senses, Gansu Jutaro yelled at the herald: "Order the Imperial Cooperative Army to immediately recapture the warehouse from the hands of the New Fourth Army at all costs!" If there is a mistake, they will all die! ”

"Hey!" The herald answered, and walked away quickly. Sen Yongjin stepped forward and said, "Your Excellency the division commander, it is impossible for the Imperial Association Army to recapture the arsenal and material warehouse alone. The lowly is willing to take a team of soldiers to supervise the battle. ”

Jutaro Kan stared at Mori Yujin for a few seconds, and said with a little emotion: "You go!" Be careful! ”

"Hey!" Mori Yongjin answered, turned and left. ……

"Regiment commander, the devil's reinforcements are less than five kilometers away from us!" Gao Feng panted and ran to Hong Yu's side and reported.

Hong Yu threw out a grenade, looked at his watch, and said, "The speed of the little devil is really fast!" Hong Yu hurriedly said to Gao Hu: "Hit the signal flare and retreat!" ”

"Yes!" Gao Hu took out his flare gun and fired two red flares at the sky. Tang Xingshang, who was loading things into the truck with people, saw the signal flare and hurriedly said to the soldiers who were busy moving things: "Get on the bus!" Let's withdraw! With that, Tang Xingshang took out two grenades, pulled out the strings, threw them into the oil drum filled with gasoline, and then pushed the oil drum into the warehouse and arsenal, and quickly jumped into the truck that had already started.

Soon after Tang Xingshang evacuated the material warehouse and arsenal with his people, Sen Yongjin arrived with his troops. Looking at the quiet material warehouse and arsenal, when Sen Yongjin was about to give the order to attack, he thought about two deafening explosions, "boom, boom", and then saw the arms depot and the material warehouse burst into flames.

Seeing this scene, Sen Yongjin was stunned. At this moment, a soldier ran to Sen Yongjin's side and said, "Your Excellency, that person has retreated!" ”

"Nani?!" Sen Yongjin turned his head and grabbed the collar of the soldier who came to report the news, and shouted, "What did you say?!" ”

The soldier replied tremblingly, "That man has retreated!" ”

"Eight Tooth Road!" Mori Yongjin pushed the soldier to the ground, angrily pulled out his command knife and slashed at the low tree on the side. After seven or eight minutes, Sen Yongjin calmed down and said to the soldiers behind him: "You command the Imperial Alliance Army to snatch out the materials in the warehouse. ”

"Hey!" The second lieutenant answered, and immediately commanded the Imperial Allied Army on the side to enter the warehouse to rescue the contents inside.

After about a quarter of an hour, Mori returned to the division headquarters. As soon as he walked into the war room, Mori Yongjin didn't have time to speak, and Tataro Gansu's voice sounded first: "Mori-kun, you've worked hard, let's go rest first!" ”

Sen Yongjin said: "Your Excellency the division commander, the responsibility for the loss of the arsenal and material warehouse is not ours. The location of the 213th Wing is only half an hour away from the county seat of Wuning at most. Even if they were blocked on the road, according to the combat effectiveness of the 213th Wing, they would be delayed for half an hour at most, but now that an hour has passed, there is still the slightest shadow of the 213th Wing. Therefore, I humbly ask His Excellency the Division Commander to hold the Wing Commander of the 213th Wing Masao Iida accountable! ”

"Now is not the time to hold accountable!" Jutaro yelled at Mori, and the entire war room fell into an eerie security. At this time, a second lieutenant hurriedly ran into the war room and said, "Your Excellency, that person has retreated in the direction of Jiugong Mountain!" ”

"Jiugong Mountain?!" Ganji Jutaro walked quickly to the map, and soon found the location marked with the three words Jiugong Mountain in front of the map, his brows suddenly furrowed, and he muttered to himself: "What is the purpose of their trip to Jiugong Mountain?!" ”

Sen Yongjin said: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, could it be that Jiugong Mountain is their lair?!" ”

"Nani?!" Tataro looked at Mori Yujin.

Mori said, "We have fought against the Celestial Wolf and his forces many times before, and even Gaomiao Village, which we have always thought was their lair, has been occupied. But the Celestial Wolf and his troops have not been eliminated. So I've been wondering if their nest isn't in Gaomiao Village, but somewhere else. The direction in which they are withdrawing today is a testament to my idea. ”

"Roar!" Tataro nodded slightly and said, "Call me Yazo Matsumoto!" ”

"Hey!" The attendant answered and left in a hurry.

"Report!" As soon as the attendant left, Masashi Iida's voice sounded outside the war room. Hearing the shout, Jutaro Kan shouted coldly, "Come in!" ”

Masaio Iida walked into the war room, respectfully saluted Jutaro Gansu, and said, "Your Excellency, I'm sorry! It's too late! ”

Ganji Jutaro walked in front of Iida Masao, stared at Iida Masaio for a while, and asked in a cold voice: "Iida-kun, the order I gave you is to return to Wuning County within half an hour. How long has it been now?! ”

Iida Masao replied, "Your Excellency, when I was returning with my troops from my humble position, I was ambushed by that man on the way. ”

"Yaga!" Jutaro shook his hand and gave Masao Iida a series of slaps. In the blink of an eye, Iida Masao's face became "fat" for a whole circle. After venting, Ganji Shigetaro calmed down and said, "Iida-kun, I will report today's matter to the military headquarters." You just wait for the military department to deal with it! ”

"Hey!" Masaio Iida answered, bowed to Jutaro Gansu, turned around and walked outside the war room. Seeing Iida Masao walk out of the war room, Mori Yongjin sighed lightly, took the teacup handed over by the attendant, walked to the side of Ganji Jutaro, and said, "Your Excellency the division commander, please drink water!" ”

Tataro took the cup, took a sip of water, and said, "Mori-kun, Iida Masao is no longer suitable to be the commander of the 213th Wing, and before the order from the military department comes down, you should also serve as the commander of the 213th Wing!" ”

"Hey!" Mori Yongjin answered, and just when he wanted to shoot some more ganza Jutaro's sycophants, the attendant walked in from outside with Matsumoto Yazo. Matsumoto Yazo saluted at Shigetaro and asked, "Your Excellency General, are you looking for me?!" ”

"Yes!" Ganji Jutaro walked to the map with Matsumoto Yazo, pointed to the map and said, "Matsumoto-kun, the person who just attacked the county seat is now retreating in the direction of Jiugong Mountain. Originally, you were recuperating, and I didn't want to disturb you. But now I don't have the right person on my hands, so I can only send someone to bring you here. ”

Matsumoto Yazo asked, "Your Excellency, do you want me to figure out where these people are hiding in Jiugong Mountain?!" ”

"Yes!" Tataro nodded slightly and asked, "Matsumoto-kun, what do you need, as long as I have it, I will definitely satisfy you!" ”

Matsumoto Yazo pondered for a while and said, "I need an elite squad and enough weapons and ammunition. You also need a guide who is familiar with the terrain. ”

Tataro said, "I can give you troops and weapons and ammunition." But a guide who is familiar with the terrain, I don't have it here. It's up to you. ”

"Okay!" Matsumoto Yazo sighed helplessly, and then asked, "When will I leave?!" ”

Ganji Shigetaro replied, "By dusk today at the latest, all the troops will arrive at the county seat of Wuning. Once you've picked the right people, you're ready to go. ”

Matsumoto Yazo said, "In that case, I will lead the team to set off the morning after tomorrow." I will tell Your Excellency the location of that person in Jiugong Mountain within two days. Saying that, Matsumoto Yazo stared at Tataro for a second or two, and then said, "If there is nothing else, I will retire first!" ”

At the same time, Yuan Hui took the female soldier company to the vicinity of Wuning County and looked at the well-defended Wuning County. Yuan Hui's brows furrowed. Yang Mengdie said softly: "Eldest sister, it seems that there has just been a war here. ”

Yuan Hui said: "It seems that we are a step late. It is estimated that they have withdrawn. ”

Yang Mengdie then asked, "Then what should we do now?!" ”

Yuan Hui said: "The order given to us by the political commissar is to join the regimental commander. I guess they must have gone to Jiugong Mountain by now. So we are also moving closer to Jiugong Mountain. With that, Yuan Hui quietly left with the troops.

Time passed little by little, and it gradually got dark. When Hong Yu arrived at Jiugong Mountain with his troops, Zhang Guohua walked into the regiment headquarters. Gu Zhenghai, who was busy, heard footsteps, saw Zhang Guohua, who looked a little wrong, and asked, "Lao Zhang, what's wrong?!" ”

Zhang Guohua said: "Although Hong Yu led the troops to attack the county seat of Wuning, forcing the enemy to transfer the sweeping troops back. But we were still a step too late to send rescue troops who had been captured. The little devil who jumped over the wall in a hurry still killed a lot of civilians despite the attack of our troops. Here's the statistical report! After that, Zhang Guohua handed a piece of paper to Gu Zhenghai.

Gu Zhenghai took the statistical report, quickly looked at the statistics on it, and gritted his teeth and said: "The little devil has added another blood debt!" Gu Zhenghai, who came back to his senses, asked, "Have you told the regiment commander?!" ”

Zhang Guohua shook his head and said, "Not yet." ”
