After seeing everyone sit down and rest, Liu Tianshu beckoned Li Shu over.

"Company Commander Li, sit down and don't look back, listen to me." Liu Tianshu lowered his voice.

When Li Shu heard this, his expression suddenly froze.

"There is an ambush in the mountain forest ahead, I suspect it is a devil. In this way, you will command a company with medicine to retreat to the mountain forest on the right, I just observed, from that mountain forest, over that mountain beam, you should be able to get rid of the devil. Liu Tianshu said in a low voice.

Hearing this, Li Shu raised his head and looked at the mountain forest on Liu Tianshu's right for a moment, and asked suspiciously, "Chief of Staff, why don't we retreat to the mountain pass and bypass Yexigou?" ”

"No, if it's really a devil who is setting up an ambush in the ditch, there should be an ambush in the mountain pass behind us, and once the battle starts, we can cut off our back road. Now the only possibility to get rid of the devil is to retreat from the mountain forest on the right, although the mountain forest is covered with heavy snow, which will make it difficult for us to move, but if the devil wants to catch up, he will also face the problem of inconvenience. I'll take the guard squad here to stop the devils and cover your retreat. Liu Tianshu said contemplatively.

"Chief of Staff......" As soon as Li Shu spoke, he was interrupted by Liu Tianshu, "Don't say it, hurry, act immediately, once the devil knows that we are aware, he will chase after him soon." ”

Inoue took an infantry squad and a machine gun squad to Yexigou at two o'clock in the morning, led by the guide, and then he personally commanded the infantry squad and the machine gun squad to quickly lay an ambush in the mountains and forests on the side of the road in the middle of the ditch.

Although it was the middle of winter and the temperature at night was very low, as the elite of the empire, Inoue's troops were still equipped with equipment to fight in the ice and snow, and each soldier was not only equipped with thick cotton clothes and pants, but also equipped with white cloaks.

After Inoue arranged the two squads in the ditch, a company of the Imperial Allied Army, which followed him, under the command of the military police captain Sakata, stood in the ravine on the side of the mountain pass to the north, and once the battle began, the northern pass was immediately blocked.

After a few hours in the ditch, at dawn he saw the signal from the guard post in the mountain pass, and when Inoue learned that his prey had appeared in the northern mountain pass as he had hoped, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

This time, in order to exterminate these hateful Tsuchihachi Roads that made him ashamed, Inoue, who had always been arrogant, had to ask his classmate Captain Aoki for help, and asked Captain Aoki to send troops to attack Shipan Village, which had pinned down Tsuchihachi Road in Kiyowa Town.

Lying on the well in the bunker, holding the binoculars, watching the prey slowly appear in the mountain pass, and slowly walking along the road towards the ditch, he had an itchy feeling in his heart.

Last night's mountain wind helped Inoue a lot, and the gusts of mountain wind blew down the snow on the hilltop and scattered it in the ravine, not only completely covering his two squads, but also erasing the footprints left by the troops on the road.

Just as he watched the prey step by step towards the well-designed trap, suddenly, he found that the prey actually sat down in place, through the telescope, he could clearly see these ordinary people who were no different from the crop man, took out the dry food, and ate it with the cold water in the military kettle.

Inoue held back the impulse in his heart, holding a telescope to look at the dirt eight roads one by one, and slowly, his camera froze on a young man in the uniform of an imperial second lieutenant.

"Found it, it's him, it must be him pretending to be an imperial soldier and infiltrating the field hospital." Thinking of this, the muscles on Inoue's face couldn't help but writhe twice.

Just as he was cursing hatefully, he suddenly saw a smile on the young man's face, and then he saw a strong man with his back to him slowly standing up.

Those who were carrying cardboard boxes also picked up the cardboard boxes that were put aside.

Inoue stared at the young man closely, and saw that the young man picked up a 38 big cover, and at the same time, eight men dressed as ordinary people also took out their weapons.

The ensuing scene made Inoue immediately understand that the opponent had discovered himself.

When Li Shu saw the soldiers carrying the cardboard boxes, he immediately said loudly: "Comrades, follow me, we will retreat from this side." After saying that, he commanded a local soldier to lead the way in front, and the rest of the soldiers carried cardboard boxes and ran towards the mountain forest on the right side of the avenue.

Liu Tianshu waved his big hand, and with a few people from the guard squad and a platoon of machine gunners, blocked the back of the team.

"Sortie." Inoue knew that his prey was going to run, and it was too late to think about how his opponent found out.

With his loud shout, the devil who was lying in ambush in the mountains and forests immediately took off the disguise on his body and rushed towards this side.

It's a pity that the firepower of the Inoue machine gun squad was originally going to flank the opponent, but at this time the opponent had not yet reached the predetermined position, and for a while, the machine gun could not exert its power.

However, with the captain's order, the two crooked handles of the team were held by two fierce devil soldiers, and they rushed out of the mountains and forests at once, and hit Liu Tianshu's side.

Liu Tianshu saw a burst of snowflakes flying in the mountains and forests in front of him, and countless devils wearing white cloaks jumped out of the snow, and immediately knew that he had not guessed wrong.

At a distance of more than 300 meters, the devil's bullets rained down, but fortunately, the soldiers of the guard squad had already chosen their own blocking positions when Li Shu and the others retreated to the mountains and forests.

Li Shu heard the sound of gunshots behind him, knew that the situation was critical, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to speed up the retreat.

It's a pity that the snow in the mountains and forests is 30 centimeters thick, and people can't walk on it faster.

Of course, the pace of the devils rushing out of the mountains and forests is similar to that of Li Shu.

Liu Tianshu saw that the devil was desperately shooting this way, and at the same time rushed desperately, he immediately stretched out the muzzle of the gun, aimed at a devil who was running happily, pulled the trigger fiercely, and the bullet flew out, knocking the devil down in the snow.

Shi Qiang, Hao Mengxuan and other fighters also followed and fired at the devils.

The marksmanship of the soldiers of the guard squad is naturally better than that of the soldiers of the second and third companies, and Hao Mengxuan and Shi Qiang are the best marksmanship among them.

The three spears kept firing, knocking down six or seven devils in the blink of an eye.

And the bullets fired by the devils, because the guards were hiding behind the obstacles, for a while, except for the snowflakes, they did not cause any casualties.

However, as the devil's 92 heavy machine gun was carried to the side of the mountain forest, the dull sound of gunfire rang out in the valley, and Liu Tianshu and the others were suddenly pressed so that they couldn't raise their heads at all.

The attacking devils took advantage of this opportunity and immediately sped up.

Liu Tianshu was anxious, and when he looked back, Li Shu and the others had withdrawn into the mountains and forests, and were hurriedly retreating to the mountain beams to the west. At that moment, he said to Shi Qiang: "Shi Qiang, quickly, take the first group to retreat, and I will take the second group to stay behind." ”

When Shi Qiang heard this, after raising his gun to knock down a devil, he said without looking back: "Captain, you take the second group to retreat first, and the first group leaves to cover." ”

When Liu Tianshu heard the sound, he was about to reprimand angrily, but when he saw Shi Qiang sticking his head to the ground, his eyes staring at the devil who was getting closer and closer, he didn't argue at the moment.

"Okay, the second group retreats with me, and we alternate the two groups to cover." After speaking, he shouted the second group to withdraw, and then took the second group of fighters, climbed with a roll, and ran towards the mountains and forests.

After running for about a hundred meters, he immediately commanded the second group of fighters to find a blocking position and cover the retreat of one group.

Shi Qiang commanded a group to shoot at the devil there, but unfortunately the devil's firepower was too strong, and the devil's grenadier was also set up at this time, and the shells began to explode around them.

A grenade fell to Shang Xiaowu's side, Shang Xiaowu didn't have time to dodge, he was hit by an exploding shell, blood was gushing from his head, and he would fall to the ground when his body was crooked.

Seeing this, Shang Wei hurriedly rolled over, grabbed Shang Xiaowu's side, stretched out his hand to wipe it, and Shang Ping was no longer breathing.

"Little devil, I'll fight with you." The grieving and indignant merchant Wei saw the devil rushing closer, and suddenly stood up, and the shell gun in his hand kept shooting at the devil.

As soon as two shots were fired, a figure flew out from the side, throwing Shang Wei to the side.

Immediately, a cannonball flew in, and the position where Shang Wei was standing just now was blown up into snowflakes.

Shang Wei was just about to get up, when he heard Hao Mengxuan shouting angrily: "Jiawei, you don't want to die, you calm down, Xiao Wu has already sacrificed, go, retreat quickly." ”

As he spoke, Shang Wei rushed over and grabbed Shang Xiaowu's body, and retreated into the mountains and forests.

After running for a while, Hao Mengxuan saw Xie Fei, Long Hai and Shi Qiang, who were also shooting and retreating backwards.

Liu Tianshu and the others witnessed Shang Ping Xiaowu's sacrifice, and tears immediately flowed down their cheeks.

Shang Xiaowu is a soldier who has just been added to the guard class, and he is also from Shangbao, I heard Shang Wei say that his parents were all killed by devils when they attacked Shangbao last time.

No, in order to take revenge, he twisted Shang Wei and strongly asked to enter the guard class.

It's just that he didn't expect that the first time he participated in the battle, he died heroically.

Shi Qiang and the others ran back a few steps, and under the cover of the second group led by Liu Tianshu, they quickly rushed into the mountain forest, and then continued to run backwards.

Liu Tianshu took Geng Tianlong, Lin Hua and Wang Feilong, leaning on the big trees in the mountains and forests, and fired at the chasing devil soldiers unhurriedly, but the devil's combat effectiveness was indeed extraordinary.

Seeing Liu Tianshu and the others retreating into the mountains and forests, the grenadiers and heavy machine guns kept moving forward, and bullets and shells rained down, so that every time the four of them fired a shot, they had to quickly change their positions.

At this moment, another group of people rushed down from the mountain pass in the north, and Liu Tianshu turned his eyes and found that more than a hundred imperial army soldiers shouted in their mouths, spilling down the ditch like a flood, and then rushed towards the mountain forest.

When Inoue saw the arrival of the Imperial Army, he was overjoyed and urgently ordered the Imperial Army to rush into the woods in pursuit, while the Japanese infantry squad and machine gun squad followed behind to supervise the battle and suppress it with firepower.

Although the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Soldiers is very different from that of the Imperial Army, there is no treasure for the Imperial Soldiers in the lives of the Imperial Army.

In the round of pursuit just now, more than a dozen Imperial soldiers were loyal to the emperor.

Inoue didn't want the precious lives of imperial soldiers to be wasted on the snow in the barren mountains and mountains. (To be continued.) )
