Chapter 70: The March on the Mountain Road
"Quick! Three people at a time, stepping on several wooden stakes. Fast! After all, these people were Ji Jinbiao's soldiers, and as soon as he gave the order, the soldiers quickly divided into groups of three, stepped on the improvised bridge and quickly passed the trap.
"What's going on?" After passing through the trap, Ji Jinbiao pulled Gou Tianxiao and asked why. Just look at the simple bridge made of logs, you can know that there must be something wrong with this section of the road, but Ji Jinbiao always feels that there is something famous here.
"This is a big meal prepared by the detachment leader for the devil, don't ask so much, go up the mountain quickly, you will understand when you get to the top." Gou Tianxiao and Ji Jinbiao briefly explained and waved again and again, signaling him to take the soldiers and leave quickly! When the last person had passed, Gou Tianxiao greeted him, and a dozen or so soldiers came over and pushed into the river holding the temporary bridge made of logs.
"Poof" splashed in all directions, and the temporary bridge carried the sinking load and floated down the river in the water.
Sano Torota led his troops to chase all the way, and by the time he reached this narrow mountain road, he could clearly see the Chinese troops in front of him through binoculars. Looking at the narrow and rugged mountain road, Sano Osa hesitated slightly, this road does not seem to be a good place to go!
"Your Excellency Dazuo, are we going to continue chasing?" The staff officers of the detachment came over and questioned his Excellency Dazuo.
"Chase! Must chase! Remind the troops that the terrain here is dangerous, try to slow down the pace of progress, and safety first! "It's rare that His Excellency Sano Torota Sano, who has always been known for his hot temper and has the nickname Torotaro, would say such a thing as safety first.
This lieutenant staff officer is a personal subordinate who has followed Sano Tiger for several years, and is quite familiar with Sano Daisa's temperament. As soon as he heard Sano Tora's order, he knew that Dazuo was really a little embarrassed. So, this hardcore subordinate planned to persuade his commander, "Your Excellency, we can actually take a detour. If you go from another way, our army will be able to catch up with the cunning Chinese army! ”
"Oh? What is Suzuki's opinion? As soon as Sano Tiger heard that his subordinate Jian Yiyi was immediately interested, he really didn't want to take this treacherous mountain path in front of him.
"We have military dogs, so we don't have to worry about chasing down the enemy. Besides, if it really doesn't work, we can still call in the air force to guide the way. Since His Excellency Dazuo feels that this path is dangerous, we don't have to take this risk, and if we take other roads, we can also catch that army. As long as we want to, none of the Shina people can escape the guns of the Sano detachment! ”
The last sentence is obviously a sycophant, but this sycophant is very placed, and Sano Osa is obviously more comfortable squinting his eyes. However, since this guy's nickname is Torotaro, a little sycophant can't affect him.
Sano Torota thought for a moment, and finally sighed, "Well, I understand what Suzuki-kun means. However, time does not allow you and me to take a long detour. The brigade commander gave me only three days, and now that two days have passed, we still haven't caught the cunning Chinese army. If you still haven't eliminated them by the evening of the third day, Suzuki-kun, maybe you should change to another commander. ”
"Your Excellency, I will go wherever you go. The worst outcome is for us to return home together. You can rest assured that Suzuki will be your heartfelt partner! Lieutenant Suzuki lost no time in showing his loyalty to Osa who had not yet lost power. Anyway, in the future, Osa will really be finished, and even if Lieutenant Suzuki leaves, no one will say that he is not righteous. People go to high places, that's the truth of the world.
"Yo Sai, Suzuki-kun's sincere friendship, I understand!" Torata Sano was obviously moved by Lieutenant Suzuki's heartfelt words, "Don't worry, you and I will have a great future in the future!" We won't be going back to Japan early! Let's go, let's go. The order was given, and the troops immediately began to advance, keeping a distance of a hundred meters between the squads and the squads. Be vigilant along the way! ”
After Tomata Sano gave the order to march, he simply left Lieutenant Suzuki by his side.
The troops went up the mountain paths. Although this road is dangerous and difficult, it is not impossible to walk. Sano Torota had walked a road with even worse conditions, and this road was really nothing compared to the difficult roads at the beginning. Although the cliffs around you may seem unpleasant, the river on the other side can give you a cool and sober feeling, and the road is actually not difficult to walk.
While walking on the mountain path, Sano Osa enjoyed the scenery of nature, and for a moment he felt that his soul was cleansed. China is indeed a magical place.
There's something in the middle of the river that's drifting down the river, and what is it? Torota Sano held up the binoculars to take a look. Hey? That is, wooden rafts? Could it be that someone is logging in the mountains? Sano Torota knew that in ancient China, there were lumberjacks who put the felled wood into the water and let it float down the river to where it wanted to go.
Seeing that the wooden raft was getting closer and closer, it flickered by, and quickly drifted further downstream along the current.
"It's really a beautiful natural scenery." Lieutenant Suzuki saw that His Excellency Osa admired the natural scenery, and seeing that Sano Osa seemed to sigh at the few logs floating in the river, he hurriedly helped to praise him.
This time, His Excellency did not appreciate the lieutenant's lyricism again, and of course he did not say anything to refute it, and the troops continued to advance.
The mountain road winds and turns, and the rushing river is still rushing and roaring beside it, always accompanying him. When His Excellency Osa was in an irritable mood, he glanced into the river twice, and it seemed that his mood could calm down a little. Sometimes Sano Torota thinks that he is actually quite lucky to have this river with him along the way.
Just when all the Japanese soldiers had gradually become accustomed to the roaring of the river around them, an explosion suddenly sounded in front of the team, "Boom! Rumble! Bang! Boom! "One after another, the shells suddenly fell on the mountain road and exploded, and some even fell into the river, and the explosion set off a column of water more than ten meters high.
"There's an ambush!" The devils screamed, and some people fired guns at the top of the cliffs and into the river, and the sudden injuries and loud noises made the devils start to go berserk.
"Dazuo, what should I do?" Although Lieutenant Suzuki was asking questions, his facial expression was not very flustered. The Sixth Division was one of the two divisions with the highest combat effectiveness in all of Japan, and they came to China to fight many vicious battles, killed many people, and encountered ambushes many times, and they were used to this kind of fighting.
"There is no infantry charge, only artillery shelling, this is the Chinese playing cold bullets. Order the troops, speed up! As far as you can do in this dangerous area! Sano Torota pulled out his command knife, "Speed up!" "The Japanese soldiers, who had been walking slowly, suddenly began to trot.
