Seeing that all the devils left here were eliminated, Liu Tianshu hurriedly shouted to the third squad leader: "Squad leader Han, hurry, clean up the battlefield, bring those two radios, and let's leave here." ”

The sudden sound of gunfire behind him made Chi Tian, who was chasing Li Shu and them, stunned, screamed badly, and immediately ordered the troops to stop the pursuit, and then turned around and rushed towards the mountains and forests as fast as possible.

You must know that the communication soldiers of the squad are left behind, and they are responsible for the communication with the Okada team, and if the communication equipment is lost, the communication between the troops will not be smooth.

It's just that when dozens of devils ran back panting, what appeared in front of them were seven corpses, and as for weapons, ammunition, and communication equipment, they were all gone.

Seeing all this, Chi Tian couldn't help but curse angrily, and then ordered his subordinates to look for the traces of this group of sneak attackers.

After Liu Tianshu succeeded in one blow, he did not return with the third class, but ran quickly towards the mountains and forests in the south.

Through the fierce battle just now, he found that Yoshino had dispatched at least two squads this time, plus more than a hundred Imperial Cooperative Army.

This is more than 200 enemies, even if a platoon is particularly capable of fighting, plus the guard squad is less than 50 people.

Hitting hard can only make your head bleed, and your body will be bruised.

He knew that only by muddying the waters once and for all could he relieve the siege of the merchant fort.

After Shi Qiang rushed to the low-lying ground with the guard squad, he was immediately attacked by the devils on the opposite side, and he hurriedly followed Liu Tianshu's explanation and commanded the guard squad to jump into the inconspicuous small ditch.

This ditch is actually not big, no more than a meter wide, and the actual height on both sides is less than a meter, just because of the wild grass and some shrubs, from a distance, it is connected with the low-lying land on both sides.

The fighters of the guard squad jumped into the ditch. Immediately lower your figure, then step back.

When the devil saw the guerrillas coming out of the woods and preparing to attack him over the low-lying ground, he had already shown a disdainful sneer, you know, the low-lying land was unsheltered. The guerrillas rushed there, what is the difference with sending them to death.

Who would have thought that as soon as their side opened fire, those cunning guerrillas would burrow into the barren grass and disappear without a trace.

Although it was strange in his heart, there were still more than twenty devils who rushed over while shooting.

When these devils rushed closer with the support of light and heavy machine gun fire from behind, they found that there was an inconspicuous small ditch in the low-lying ground.

Just as these devils were pursuing along the small ditch, the Chitian squad launched an attack on the Chinese on the opposite side of the mountain forest.

This time the attacks on both sides naturally accelerated. But who would have thought that the devils who attacked over the low-lying area would chase them into the woods, and when they met with the Chitian team, the rear of the Chitian team unexpectedly rang out gunshots.

After the Chitian team had to turn around to rescue, the devils who attacked over the low-lying ground immediately fell into an embarrassing situation.

Because at this time, Shi Qiang, who had retreated to the mountains and forests, had already joined Li Shu's two classes.

Without Chitian's team chasing behind, Li Shu and Shi Qiang immediately commanded the troops to launch a counterattack. The devil who crosses the low-lying land is at the downwind of the mountains and forests. Fight with a row that is condescending to launch a counterattack.

Unfortunately, the light and heavy machine gun fire behind was limited at this time, and the two sides fought for less than twenty minutes, and the devils who were pursuing over the low-lying area had to withdraw from the woods, burrow into the small ditch, and retreat sharply towards Shang.

Pang Tao led a battalion and a company of the Imperial Association Army with the support of the devil's artillery. Successfully captured the first gate, and at the second gate, his troops encountered stubborn resistance from Shangbao. Shang Wu commanded more than 50 forts, and with the favorable terrain at the second walled gate, he desperately blocked the attack of the imperial army.

Although there are three checkpoints in front of the merchant fort stockade. However, because the third checkpoint is too close to the stockade, although the terrain is also dangerous, for the devils and the imperial army with 92 infantry guns and mortars, if you reach the third checkpoint, it is not much different from arriving in the stockade.

Because as long as they bombard with artillery in front of the third checkpoint, they can directly hit the people in the stockade.

Most of the buildings in the stockade are wooden houses, and once they are hit by artillery fire, the consequences are unimaginable.

Therefore, for the safety of the stockade, the old man Shang concentrated most of his troops at the second checkpoint.

Although Shang Wu knew that holding the second level with Fortin was at most delaying time, his loyalty to his clansmen over the years made him choose to fight to the death.

Even if they all died here, and in the end the devil still entered the merchant fort, and they did their best.

Shang Wu's heart was actually desperate for a long time, after all, around Qingyan Town, he really couldn't think of anyone who could really cause trouble for the devils except for the communist guerrillas in Huangshi Village.

As far as he knew, the communist guerrillas in Huangshi Village were at most about 100 people, and their strength could not be compared with the devils at all.

This is also the reason why the old man Shang rejected Tang Qing's proposed cooperation.

Just when the second level was about to be breached, suddenly, fierce gunfire rang out at the foot of the mountain, and the attacking Imperial Alliance army heard the gunfire at the foot of the mountain, and the strength of the attack immediately weakened.

When Okada learned that someone had come to the rescue, the sinister smile on the corner of his mouth became even more ferocious.

He immediately ordered Pang Tao to leave a platoon to stop the men of Shangbao from rushing out, and then personally commanded the Japanese to turn around and pounce on the attackers.

However, Okada's pursuers were driven out of the mountains and forests on the opposite side, and they burrowed into a small ditch in embarrassment and retreated to this side, and Okada was taken aback when he saw this.

He didn't expect that as soon as the Chitian team came into contact with the opponent, they suffered a big loss, and they were copied from the back road, so that now his contact with the Chitian team was cut off, and the troops he cooperated with his pursuit had to retreat.

Okada immediately ordered the communications corps to report the situation to Captain Yoshino, and at the same time, out of caution, began to shrink the troops.

Because gunshots seemed to sound everywhere in the mountains and forests opposite, Rao held a telescope and couldn't see how many Chinese were in the mountains and forests opposite.

However, when the troops retreated, he ordered the Type 92 infantry artillery to bombard the mountains and forests opposite.

Li Shu saw that the enemy attacking Shangbao was pinned down by himself, and he did not chase out of the mountain forest at the moment, but pressed in the direction of Chitian's team retreating.

Pang Tao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Captain Okada's attention turn to the mountain.

To be honest, although Pang Tao followed Cheng Guigui to join the Japanese, he did not want to fight the Chinese for the Japanese at all, and this time the regiment commander ordered him to follow the Japanese to Shangbao, and he knew that this time he would be cannon fodder.

Sure enough, when he arrived at Fort Merchant, Okada only sent about twenty devils to follow his troops, nominally fighting together, but in fact spying on them.

With the Japanese staring at him, he had to order the mortar in his hand to start a bombardment. However, Rao was supported by Japanese artillery fire, and he still lost fifteen people at the first checkpoint, of which eight soldiers were killed.

Attacking the second level, his troops lost another twenty-one men in a fierce battle with Fort Merchant.

At this time, Okada asked him to keep an eye on the people of the merchant fort and stop them from rushing out, and he was greatly relieved, and immediately ordered the troops to build fortifications two hundred meters from the second checkpoint.

As for the grief and anger in the eyes of his brothers, he directly ignored them.

Liu Tianshu led three squads to rush towards the southwest mountains and forests, and as soon as Chi Tian commanded the troops to start a pursuit, they were jointly attacked by Li Shu and Shi Qiang from behind.

Especially Shi Qiang's guard squad is like a fish in water in the mountains and forests, they are as fast as flying in the mountains and forests, and they bite Chitian's guards in a blink of an eye.

The two devil soldiers were directly killed by Shi Qiang and Shang He, and the rest of the devils had to leave a dozen or so people to stop them.

The two sides fired at each other in the mountains and forests for seven or eight minutes, and Li Shu took the first and second shifts to come back from one side, and the devils who were covered after being cut off were overwhelmed by the bullets coming from the side, and after leaving the two of them, they had to retreat.

Chi Tian learned that the Chinese were in hot pursuit, and in anger, he simply ordered the troops to turn around and launch a counterattack against Shi Qiang and Li Shu.

But these Chinese were also tricky to the extreme, and as soon as his troops launched a counterattack, the Chinese immediately retreated, not entangled with him at all.

At this time, Liu Tianshu saw that the pursuing devils stopped moving, and immediately commanded the third squad to turn around and attack the devils.

Under the attack from both sides, Chida was overwhelmed, and finally had to move closer to Okada's team.

Yoshino received a report from Okada and was a little surprised at first to learn that Liu Tianshu's troops had appeared in front of the merchant fort as expected. Later, it was found that these Chinese were all hiding in the mountains and forests, like evil wolves, just sneaking away from afar, and the imperial soldiers only showed a slight flaw, but they pounced down like evil wolves, bit off a few bites of meat and quickly left.

Chitian's team and Liu Tianshu's men fought fiercely in the mountains and forests for two hours, and they lost one-third of their troops, and finally had to move closer to Okada's team.

Yoshino stared at the map with a gloomy face, he didn't expect that his elaborate trap would end up being beaten to pieces by the opponent's chaotic punches.

It's a pity that he doesn't have too many troops in his hands, otherwise, he really wants to surround that mountain and forest, and then come to the urn to catch turtles.

Knowing that Okada's team and Yoshino's team could not catch the opponent for a decisive battle, coupled with the fact that it was getting late, he thought about it for a long time, and finally had to order Okada and Yoshino to abandon the original plan and withdraw to Qingyan Town with their troops.

If Okada and Yoshino are not allowed to withdraw, at night, it will be the world of the guerrillas, and I really don't know what will happen.

As for Shangbao, the purpose of sending troops to besiege today is to attract the guerrillas to come to the rescue, but unfortunately even if the guerrillas are rescued, they are divided into several small units, and the goddess is scattered in the mountains and forests, so that he can't catch them all at all.

Not only did he fail to destroy his opponent, but he also lost more than thirty imperial soldiers, and as for the loss of the Imperial Army, Yoshino didn't pay attention to it at all.

It's really worth the loss. Yoshino sat in his chair in pain, looking out the window at the sky, thinking about how to report the situation in Kiyowa-town to Captain Aoki. (To be continued.) )
