Chapter 38: The Toyohashi Detachment
Rope? Although Biaozi didn't know what Gao Quan wanted a rope for, he had the best professional ethics as a subordinate, and without even asking a word, he handed over this life-saving barrier to his own military seat.
"Xiao Qi, pass the rope forward, and every brother who passes by grabs the rope. If someone falls, they can get up by grabbing the rope. As soon as Gao Quan said this, Liu Qi's eyes suddenly lit up, and as soon as he took the rope, he began to pass forward, and the other end of the rope was handed back to Gao Quan's hand. Probably in his heart, as long as he can ensure that Gao Quanquan is okay, this is the biggest use of this rope.
"One rope is certainly not enough. The troops were ordered to stop, and the fighters were asked to untie their belts, and the people in front and behind each pulled one head. Everyone finds a good pair and then goes! "The safety of the soldiers comes first. Before the battle against the devil has begun, if there are a lot of non-combat casualties, it will be the commander's biggest failure.
The troops stopped to rest, and Gao Quan's order reached every soldier. Biaozi originally wanted to tie one end of the rope to Gao Quan's waist, but Gao Quan refused. Just grab it with your hands, and tie the rope around your waist? What does that look like? It's too detrimental to the glorious image of Lord Gunza! In this regard, Biao Zi did not insist. With him guarding by his side, the possibility of Gao Quan slipping is infinitely close to zero.
People seem to have been trying their best to maintain the safety of Gaoquan, and have completely forgotten the superb work of Gaoquan itself. Gao Junzuo didn't raise any objections, but the people around him still went their own way, as if they didn't take the commander's words to heart at all. Gao Quan experienced a strong comradeship from it.
After resting, the march resumed. The frequency of slipping and being injured by the soldiers who have the support in their hands has decreased significantly, and often as soon as they step on the air here, there will immediately be a comrade pulling the other end of the belt and pulling up the one who has slipped.
Since there were fewer people falling, the march was more consistent, and the speed naturally increased. The team that used to stop and go is now basically non-stop. Originally, Gao Quan expected that he would not be able to go down the mountain until at least midnight, but the result was more than an hour in advance, about ten o'clock in the evening, and the team arrived at the foot of the mountain.
The reason why they had to march in the dark on the mountain was to prevent the Japanese army from seeing that there were troops on the mountain and taking advantage of the night to descend the mountain. Now that they have gone down the mountain, of course, there is no need to hide it anymore, the military uniforms on their bodies are the best camouflage!
"Flashlight!"
Whew! Dozens of flashlight pillars pierced the darkness, and a Japanese army of thousands of people suddenly appeared on the flat ground under the dark mountain.
The troops dispersed, and the troops of nearly 4,000 men who supplemented the first brigade formed a marching formation, slowly approaching the Japanese camp.
"Stop, what part are you from?" The Japanese sentry was full of confusion and doubts, where did this wing come from? How had he not heard of troops marching overnight?
"Ah, we're from the Toyohashi detachment." The standard Japanese answer came from afar.
Toyohashi detachment? The Eighteenth Wing is Toyohashi's. This is the Eighteenth Wing? Can't you? Isn't the 18th Wing fighting the Chinese army at the front? Could there be any other infantry wing from Toyohashi? Or is the detachment leader of this detachment surnamed Toyohashi?
The devil sentry speculated wildly, but his not too developed brain, the more he thought about it, the more like a pot of rice dumplings. By the time the troops over there were still thirty meters away, the carthing's mind was completely confused.
Although the Japanese sentries did not know where this Toyohashi detachment came from, the Japanese soldiers were good at this, that is, they never pointed their guns at their own people. As soon as they heard that phrase in Japanese, the sentries had already put their guns back on their backs. If you don't know it, you can't figure it out, the unit that I have seen is at least at the wing level, and this level of troops is indeed not something that a few of their low-level sentries can investigate. As long as it's Japanese, it doesn't matter where they are! Register it in a moment and report to the squadron leader tomorrow morning.
"Hey, come and register your number and chief's name." The sentry shouted at the troops who were approaching, and he could already see the officers walking in front of the group.
"Okay, I'll do it." The officer agreed, and reached into his waist as if he were going to get his papers.
Hey? How did this man get the gun out? What is he doing? Looks like it's loading! The sentry's eyes widened in surprise.
"Smack! Smack! A few crisp gunshots rang out, and before the hapless devil sentries could scream, they fell to the ground and turned into corpses. Those soldiers of our army disguised as Japanese soldiers swarmed in, and the sea generally poured into the Japanese camp.
With the soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion leading the way and experienced officers leading the way, the recruits who had just enlisted were not very flustered, except for the excitement of participating in the battle for the first time, they did not feel any fear at all. Of course, in addition to Liu Qi's training, this also has a lot to do with the fact that these soldiers all joined the army voluntarily. If it was a captured strong man, maybe a large number of deserters would have appeared when the troops went down the mountain in the dark.
The brigade commander of the supplementary brigade was Liu Qi, the former commander of the reconnaissance battalion, and Gao Quan, the commander who followed them, was also a scout.
Facing the devil soldiers who rushed out when they heard the gunshots, our soldiers who ran to the front did not attack as soon as they came up.
"Spies! There's a spy in the barracks! A lieutenant officer shouted loudly, brandishing a pistol at the Japanese soldiers who had run out in the middle of the night to see the movement, and shouted: "A spy killed the sentry, and now he is running into the barracks, you guys, pick up your weapons and chase after me!" ”
The devil soldiers traveled a long way to fight. Now that we are in the tense period of war again, I finally couldn't stay up in the middle of the night and slept for a while, this kind of thing happened again! Dizzy devils, in addition to the hysteria that they didn't wake up, are the anger after their sleep is disturbed.
Usually the Japanese officers are very good at taking advantage of this, and while the devils have not yet woken up and are suffering from hysteria, they will drive them to the battlefield, and these guys can often burst out with unexpected combat abilities and beat their opponents to the ground.
The man on the other side was also an officer, and he also called the devils up before they woke up and told them to pick up their guns and fight! Some veterans in the army have experienced this situation more than once or twice, and they have long been used to it!
"Eight Tooth Road!" A short and fat captain roared angrily, rushed into the tent, picked up his 38 big cover, and rushed out. The lieutenant pointed over there, and the captain howled and rushed in the direction the lieutenant pointed! This guy whose brain is still half-asleep and half-awake, he forgot to ask what those spies look like.
The commander of the army played an exemplary role, and the Japanese soldiers here immediately made a fuss like a fish pond that had turned over the pit!
