At the same time, the Nagato rib guards stood on Beacon Hill, the position of the 2nd battalion. Looking at the messy position, Nagato's rib guards unconsciously remembered the previous big explosion, and a cold sweat broke out from his back. After calming down, Nagato said to the telegraph soldiers, "Send a telegram to General Takayuki Uchida immediately!" Our troops have occupied the Beacon Hill Branch. The branch of the army on the position has perished along with the position. Our department is ready to make a detour to the copper drum bag after dawn tomorrow! ”

Nagato took the telegram recorded by the telegraph soldier, looked at it, and after making sure that there was no problem, signed it, handed it to the telegraph soldier, and said, "Send it out immediately!" ”

"Hey!" The telegraph soldier answered, ran quickly to the radio station, and launched a telegram.

After about half an hour, the telegraph soldier received a telegram from Nagato's rib guard, and after translating it, the telegraph soldier handed the telegram to Uchida Takayuki's attendant. When the attendant took the telegram and looked at it, he immediately became excited, and quickly came to the outside of Uchida Takayuki's military tent and asked, "Is Your Excellency the General awake?!" ”

Without waiting for the guards guarding the door to answer, Takayuki Uchida's voice rang out: "Come in!" ”

The attendant opened the curtain and walked into the military tent, and said, "Your Excellency General, Nagato has sent an urgent telegram!" They have already occupied the position of the Beacon Hill Branch! ”

"Nani?!" When Uchida Takayuki heard the news, he hurriedly took the telegram from the attendant's hand and read it. After about five or six minutes, Takayuki Uchida let out a breath and asked, "Is there any news from Takezaburo Matsuzaki?!" ”

The attendant said, "They have captured the first line of defense of the Tonggu Baozhi army, and they are now advancing to the second line of defense. However, the casualties of Matsuzaki United were very large. ”

Uchida Takayuki nodded slightly and said, "You go out first!" Leave me alone! ”

"Hey!" The attendant replied and withdrew from the command tent. ……

In the blink of an eye, at about seven o'clock in the evening, Saburo Taniguchi led his troops to the vicinity of the windmill mouth. Looking at the surrounding situation, Taniguchi Saburo secretly said in his heart: "This is indeed a good place for ambushes. My uncle didn't lose right here! At this moment, a soldier ran up to Saburo Taniguchi and said, "Captain Taniguchi, the corpse of our jade broken soldier was found in front. ”

Taniguchi Saburo looked in the direction pointed by the soldier, was slightly stunned, and said, "Follow me!" ”

Walking to the place where the corpses were buried, Saburo Taniguchi looked at the corpses that were piled up, the anger in his heart instantly burned, and said coldly: "Cremate all the corpses here!" ”

"Hey!" Lieutenant Ichiro Kaneda, who was following Saburo Taniguchi, answered and immediately ordered the troops to get busy.

At the same time, a dark shadow ran into a valley not far from the mouth of the windmill.

"Battalion commander, the place where we hid the corpse of the devil was discovered by the devil!" Investigator Tian Erwa ran to Tang Xingshang and reported.

Tang Xingshang frowned slightly and asked, "How many devils are there?!" ”

Tian Erwa replied: "A squadron." ”

Instructor Geng Tiezhu asked, "Old Tang, what are you thinking?!" ”

Tang Xingshang replied, "I want to beat them." ”

Geng Tiezhu looked at the soldiers behind him and said, "Look at the current appearance of the soldiers, can you fight again?!" ”

Tang Xingshang said: "If you don't fight, you can't do it!" After the little devil has cremated the body, he will look for us. Their goal is to destroy us. We have to strike first! Besides, don't forget, I haven't let them go into battle even if they are directly under the battalion. ”

Geng Tiezhu reacted instantly, and joked with a smile: "I was always wondering before?!" It turns out that you have been planning this for a long time! No wonder the comrades say that you are better than a monkey with sticky hair! ”

Tang Xingshang said with a smile: "I'm called the one who is close to Zhu is red, and the one who is close to ink is black!" I learned this from our captain. Then Tang Xingshang said solemnly: "Our location is a valley. After I left with my direct team, you used the rocks to make a bunker at the entrance of the cave as a machine-gun position. Then you put our fighters on the sides of the mountain. After I led the direct team to bring in the devils, we attacked from both sides, closed the door and beat the dogs! ”

Geng Tiezhu thought for a while and said, "Your idea is good, but the devil may not take the bait!" ”

The corners of Tang Xingshang's mouth curled slightly, and he said with a smile: "I conclude that in addition to destroying us, their other goal is likely to be to recover that Dazuo's body." We can make a fuss about this. ”

"Good!" Geng Tiezhu nodded and said, "Without further ado, follow your plan." I'll prepare now with the warriors. With that, Geng Tiezhu beckoned the soldiers to get busy.

Tang Xingshang looked at Geng Tiezhu's anxious appearance, sighed helplessly, and shouted, "Direct team, follow me!" After that, Tang Xingshang took his direct team out of the cave.

The group rushed all the way, and after about ten minutes, Tang Xingshang led the fifty-six people directly under the battalion to the place where the devil had been ambushed earlier. Looking at the devil who was cremating the corpse not far away, Tang Xingshang's face showed a faint smile. Yu Yu, the captain of the direct team, asked, "Battalion commander, can we fight?!" ”

Tang Xingshang said: "Wait a little longer, it will take time for the instructor to arrange them." ”

"Oh!" Yu Yu responded, didn't say anything more, lay beside Tang Xingshang, and quietly waited for Tang Xingshang's order.

Time passed little by little, and nearly two hours passed in a blink of an eye. The body of the devil was almost cremated.

"Report to Captain Taniguchi, we searched all the places we could, but we didn't find the body of Masao Shimizu!"

"Nani?!" When Saburo Taniguchi heard the soldier's report, his brows furrowed, and he said secretly: "Where did that person get my uncle's body?!" ”

Ichiro Kaneda said: "On the battlefield, there are very few high-ranking officers in the empire. According to my previous experience, the branch man likes to take the corpse of our officer and ask for merit from above. It is very likely that the body of Masao Shimizu has been transported out of Jiugong Mountain. ”

Saburo Taniguchi said, "The entire Jiugong Mountain is surrounded by us. That person wants to transport the corpse out of Jiugong Mountain unknowingly, it's impossible! ”

Ichiro Kaneda said, "Then there is only one other possibility, Your Excellency Osa's body was hidden by that person.

"Roar!" Saburo Taniguchi nodded slightly, and said in a cold voice: "Order the troops, expand the search area!" ”

"Hey!" Ichiro Kaneda answered, and immediately conveyed the order.

At the same time, Tang Xingshang, who was hiding in the shadows, saw that the devils suddenly assembled, and immediately thought that the devils were probably preparing to find the body of the devil Dazuo. Thinking of this, Tang Xingshang pulled the bolt of the sniper rifle and shouted, "Prepare for battle!" ”

Hearing Tang Xingshang's words, the soldiers of the direct team prepared one after another. After about five or six minutes, Tang Xingshang aimed at the devil lieutenant in front of the team, and while pulling the trigger, he shouted: "Fight!" ”

With Tang Xingshang's order, the soldiers pulled the trigger one after another. Caught off guard, the devils who were in the whole team were swept down by a sudden bullet.

"Captain Taniguchi, we've been attacked by that man!" And then "Ah! A scream rang out. The soldier who came to report was shot and fell to the ground. Saburo Taniguchi immediately hid behind a tree, raised the telescope hanging on his chest, looked out, and said to Ichiro Kaneda, who was hiding behind a tree opposite, "Kaneda-kun, I just saw it, and there are not many people. Wait a minute, I'll lead people to attract their firepower head-on, and you lead people to flank them! ”

"Hey!" Ichiro Kaneda answered, and according to Saburo Taniguchi's orders, he quietly left with a team.

Kaneda Ichiro thought that no one noticed that he was leaving with the troops, but in fact, all his actions were seen by Tang Xingshang. Seeing that Kaneda Ichiro was leading the team away, Taniguchi Saburo immediately concentrated all the grenadiers and mortars and opened fire on Tang Xingshang's position.

Although Tang Xingshang relied on the sniper rifle in his hand, he killed and injured a large number of devil artillery. But after all, two fists are hard to beat four hands, and under the fierce artillery fire of the devils, the casualties of the direct team gradually increased. After hesitating for a while, Tang Xingshang said to Yu: "You take people to withdraw immediately!" I'll break it off! ”

Yu Yu said: "Regiment leader, it's better for you to take people to withdraw!" I'll break it off! ”

"What nonsense, this is an order!" Saying that, Tang Xingshang grabbed a grenade on the side, pulled out the string and threw it at the devil, and then said, "What are you doing in a daze?!" Evacuate! ”

"Yes!" Yu Yuyi gritted his teeth, took out two grenades and put them beside Tang Xingshang, and shouted, "Bring the wounded, let's withdraw!" ”

After Yu took the people away, Tang Xingshang did not delay, swept down the devils who rushed in front of him with a submachine gun, and then used grenades to arrange some tricky mines, and slowly retreated back.

"Captain Taniguchi, that person has retreated!"

Saburo Taniguchi put down the binoculars and said in a cold voice: "Order the troops to chase me!" ”

"Hey!" The herald answered, and immediately passed the order on.

After receiving the order, the Japanese soldiers pursued like mad dogs in the direction of the retreat of Tang Xingshang and his subordinate team. After running for about a quarter of an hour, Saburo Taniguchi and Ichiro Kaneda converged at the entrance to the valley.

"Captain Taniguchi, I brought someone to follow the branch here, and there is no trace of them. Most likely, they took refuge in the valley. Saying that, Ichiro Kaneda stared at Saburo Taniguchi for a while, and then asked cautiously: "We don't know anything about the situation in the valley now, why don't we send a team of soldiers in to investigate first?!" ”

Saburo Taniguchi raised his binoculars, stared into the valley, and said, "Okay! Send a team inside first! ”

"Hey!" Ichiro Kaneda replied and glanced at Warrant Officer Keiichiro Okamura on the side. Keiichiro Okamura nodded understandingly, and walked into the valley with a group of soldiers.

At the same time, Tang Xingshang came to Geng Tiezhu's side. Geng Tiezhu smiled and pointed to the devils under the mountain and said, "The little devil is really cunning enough, he actually sent a team of people in to test it first." ”
