124. Chapter 124

Jiang Chuan Shaozuo walked up and saw a dead soldier's chest exposed, and the six big characters "Xu Zhihong Special Team" were written crookedly in blood on his hairy lower abdomen. This is Wang Hu's masterpiece, it turned out that he remembered that Liu Hui left a word on Liu Ling's lower abdomen, and before leaving, he used a bayonet to pick open the clothes of a devil, and left a handwriting with a branch dipped in the blood of the devil. Egawa Shaozo only saw that he was shocked and angry, and ordered the Kumagai squadron to attack in a fan shape in three ways.

When Yamazaki received the report, he jumped off his horse, and under the crowd of people, he hurried to the front, looking at the corpses, and only felt that his head had suddenly grown a lot.

The squadron leader Kumagai wanted to show himself in front of the co-captain, so he relied on his courage and shouted, "Soldiers of the Kumagai squadron, rush with me." The soldiers did not dare to fight timidly, and rushed up the Phoenix Ridge along the mountain road.

Seeing that the Kumagai squadron was not resisting, Yamazaki Osa shouted, "Egawa-kun, leave someone to clean up the bodies of the dead soldiers." He strode up Phoenix Ridge, and was even more stunned by the scene in front of him. I saw that the mountain road to the south was a mess, more than 40 cars had been blown up, and the embers were still burning. On the road, under the car, and in the ditch by the side of the road lay the corpses of soldiers, the pungent smell of blood and burnt smell mixed together, making them sick. He remembered the Battle of Sandaoling, compared with the situation in front of him, the tragedy was far from comparable, and he couldn't help but secretly wonder: "In the Battle of Sandaoling, the front is the blocking force of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, and the side is the sniper. And today, the independent regiment is far away on the top mountain of Dabao, and with only 12 people from Xu Zhihong's special team, they not only captured the dark fort, but also destroyed two patrols and 600 soldiers. ”

Jiang Chuan Shaozuo strode over and said, "Your Excellency Dazuo, the escorts, recruits and accompanying drivers of the brigade headquarters were all killed, and none of them ......."

Yamazaki Daisa rolled his eyes and shouted, "It's useful." Jiang Chuan Shaozuo said "Hi" and said, "The people who came snatched all the arms and walked west along the foot of the Phoenix Lingnan Mountain." Yamazaki's head buzzed and asked, "All the arms have been robbed?" Jiang Chuan Shaozo said: "Judging from the traces of the explosion and burning of the car, they blew up the car after removing the arms. ”

Yamazaki Daisa scolded in a low and slow tone, "Yaga." Jiang Chuan Shaozuo mistakenly thought he was scolding him, and bowed down and said, "Hi! Yamazaki Daisa didn't explain, waved his hand to Egawa Shaosa, and said, "Go." When I came to the foot of Lingnan, when I saw the traces of the trampling, I couldn't help but fall into deep thought: "Which one was left by twelve people, and it is clear that hundreds or thousands of people can trample the grass like this, could it be that the Independent Regiment of the First Brigade came here quietly?" No, they are hiding in Dabaoding Mountain, and once there is a disturbance, the Laiwu defenders will definitely send a message. Could it be that the nearby Diao people were involved in the transportation? No, the villages are blocked, everyone is in danger, borrow their courage, and dare not come here. But ......"

Egawa Shaozo interrupted his contemplation and said: "Your Excellency, they are carrying arms on their backs, and they will never go too far, I will send the Kumagai squadron as the vanguard to catch up with them, and hold on to them, and when our main force goes up, destroy them and recapture the arms." ”

Yamazaki Osa was silent, thought for a long time, called a captain, and said, "Send a report to the brigade headquarters to explain the situation here and request aircraft support." Send a report to Kojima Shaoza, ordering him to lead a brigade and a regiment of the Imperial Alliance Army to join me here. After he waited for the captain to leave, he said, "Jiang Chuanjun, send a team to follow and reconnoiter lightly, once you find the enemy's situation, don't alarm them, and report back quickly." ”

Jiang Chuan Shaozo thought as he walked: "Reconnaissance only needs one squad, why do you need to arrange a team?" It's not ...... Oh! Yes, Da Zuo is really far-sighted, he must have thought that there are snipers in others, and there are fewer people going, and he is afraid that he will not go back if he will beat the dog with meat buns. If you go to a squad, you can not only fight for a while, but also send out information. After weighing it again and again, he found a lean squad leader of the Kumagai squadron and said: "Takeda-kun, you are one of the bravest and most flexible officers of my Jiangchuan brigade, today, there is a very important reconnaissance mission to be handed over to your team, you lead the soldiers, you must overcome hardships and difficulties, and complete this glorious mission." ”

Takeda Shouqian's face was solemn and said, "Hi! I will certainly live up to His Excellency's expectations. Jiang Chuan Shaozo nodded with satisfaction, and then arranged the task in detail.

Takeda gathered his soldiers and chased them into the mountains, following the trails left by the grass trampling. After turning a few corners, Takeda Shouqian stopped the team, climbed up to look at it, and suddenly felt a cool air coming out of his heart, and said secretly: "This terrain seems to be a labyrinth, if you encounter an ambush, it is difficult to retreat." He muttered for a long time, and ordered one rifle crew to be in the front, one to be broken, and himself to lead the machine gun and grenadier crews in the middle.

Chasing all the way, the traces left behind were zigzags, one moment around the mountain col, the other through the valley crevices, if it wasn't for the rope tracking, they would have been lost. After chasing three or four miles, three canyons appeared in front, and the canyons were full of stones, and the two soldiers walking in front didn't think about it, and directly stepped on the canyon on the far right, and suddenly fell to the ground without taking a few steps. A soldier who followed closely behind thought that the two had tripped and had just wanted to bend down to help them up, when he suddenly saw two red blood lines left on the stone, and exclaimed: "They ......" and only shouted two words, and suddenly felt a heavy blow to the head, and lost consciousness.

Seeing that this was not good, Takeda Shouqian did not hesitate at all, and shouted, "Lie down." The soldiers were prostrate on the ground, and they did not dare to come out.

There was a frightening silence in the mountains. Suddenly, two grenades flew in, accompanied by two explosions, killing two soldiers and wounding three.

Takeda Shouqian knew that he was in the light and others were in the dark, so he should leave here in time, so he acted decisively and shouted: "Retreat five hundred meters." "The soldiers immediately changed from the back to the front, and the front to the back, and moved faster than when they came. During the run, Takeda Shouqian suddenly saw a figure on the stone ridge in front of him on the left, and hurriedly shouted: "Lie down." He was the first to bend down, picked up the binoculars and looked at them, and said to himself, "Why is there no one?" Could it be that you are dazzled? He was always cautious, and shouted, "Grenadier, bombard the rocky ridge in front of you." The two grenadiers, who were usually majestic, were beating drums in their hearts at this time, but they did not dare to disobey the commander's orders, so they had to get up hard. The two took off the grenadiers from their backs, and as soon as they put down the gun carriage, they suddenly fell down and died inexplicably.
