"Dada" The command of Captain Akita of the 3rd Squadron fired wildly towards the place where the smoke was raised by the shelling, and the other squadrons of the 1st Squadron, which was severely reprimanded by Takeoka Jiexiong, outflanked them from both flanks. "Stop shooting" Akita saw the flag of the second squadron flag bearer, and hurriedly ordered his machine gunners to stop firing, and the second squadron that had rushed over just fired the flag but did not fire a single shot, it seems that the person who had just shelled the third squadron had either died from the shelling or ran away again.

"Your Excellency, the cunning Shina people have run away, and our men have only found a few shells of 60 mortar shells produced in the empire" Before the commander of the 1st Brigade who came back to report to Takeoka Kaio had not finished his report, he heard a "rumbling" explosion not far behind him, and when he looked back, several fireballs and smoke were rising from the slope that the first team had just searched.

"Report to the Wing Commander, it was the Shina people who set up a mine under the shell, and the soldiers we searched for accidentally triggered those mines, we suffered 12 casualties, and the second lieutenant Akita of the third squadron was killed" Takeoka Jieo heard his second bad news today, the last one was the death of his nephew, and now the dead Akita is a person who hopes to accept the third squadron, but his nephew Takeoka Ichiro has just been killed for only a few minutes, and his successor has also died, as the wing leader, Takeoka Jiexiong really doesn't know what to say.

Looking at his nephew's corpse and the wounded who were covered in blood and screaming in pain, Takeoka had no choice but to order his troops to slow down the march, and still sent a large team to search the front. In this way, the threat of being attacked was minimized, but the speed of their march was also minimized, and by the time it was dark, it took a whole afternoon, and the Takeoka team had only walked 20 miles, but fortunately, the team that went out to search found a place called Yaochang Village, otherwise Takeoka Jiexiong would have slept in the field tonight.

As night fell, Takeoka Jiexiong, who lived in the kiln village, finally noticed that something was wrong, there was not a single Chinese in the kiln factory village of dozens of families, not only no trace of people, but also the domestic animals in the entire village were also missing, and a trace of doubt flashed in the mind of Takeoka Jiexiong, who was in a terrible mood. It's too weird, it's really weird, combined with today's continuous attacks by the Shina people, Takeoka Jiexiong suddenly understood where the suspicion in his mind came from, the Shina people wanted to use the way of harassment to stop or drag their own wing, even if they couldn't delay the march speed of their own wing, they were afraid that their wing would go to Ding'an.

In his impression, how could the Chinese army have launched such frequent and uninterrupted attacks on the imperial army? At noon, after the search spearhead of the 3rd Squadron found the troops of the Shina people and exchanged fire with them, the whole afternoon, the Wugang Wing was attacked and harassed no less than 5 times in a row, although the casualties caused to the Wugang Wing were not too great, but the whole afternoon passed, the Wugang Wing only walked less than 20 miles, at this rate, let alone tomorrow, I am afraid that the day after tomorrow will not be able to reach Ding'an City.

Through the news from the third squadron to search for the top soldiers, it has been preliminarily confirmed that small units of the Zhina people appeared on both flanks and in front of the Wugang Wing, and watching the night fall little by little, the helpless Takeoka Jiexiong had no choice but to order the troops to camp and rest in Yaochang Village. Takeoka Sutsuo, who was carrying his hands behind his back, frowned at the night and pondered for a long time, and one of his staff officers looked at the wing commander for a long time, and couldn't help asking: "Your Excellency, what the hell is the Shina army doing, it is really very strange that it continues to attack and harass on both flanks, but there is no movement on the front."

"They want to hold us back and prevent us from arriving in Ding'an in time, so as to give their troops time to besiege the Ghost Brigade" Takeoka Jiexiong said expressionlessly, before the personal staff officer did not ask, Takeoka Jiexiong was still repeatedly deliberating in his heart about the various possibilities of the Zhina people doing this. But when he spoke, he couldn't help but make a conclusion about the actions of those attackers.

"Boom" "Boom" When Takeoka and others were discussing the steps of tomorrow's march in his temporary headquarters, an explosion suddenly came from the village, and the sound of the explosion should be the explosion of a Japanese-style 60 mortar shell. "Report to Your Excellency, Wing Commander, there are people from outside the village who have attacked us, and a large team has already sent people to attack" Takeoka Jiexiong's guards came in from outside the door and told him the origin of the explosion, and Takeoka Jiexiong and Aoki Kazulong faced each other when they listened, aren't these people tired? Even if the attack is carried out during the day, it will not stop at night.

The Japanese troops who were ordered to go out of the village to pursue were intercepted by firepower, and they all lay on the ground and returned fire, and when Takeoka Jiexiong and they arrived at the entrance of the village, the whole kiln factory village was full of gunfire, and the firepower of both sides was very rapid, and the dense rain of bullets whistled back and forth. The same situation played out almost simultaneously on the west side of Yaochang Village, where the attackers, under the cover of night, were unable to break through the Japanese defense line and were forced to shoot at the Japanese troops in the village.

Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night, although the attackers at the entrance of the village and the west side of the village had withdrawn, but the captain of the wing, Takeoka Sutsuo, could not sleep because of the continuous attacks. After the attack, the Japanese troops scattered in the village clenched their rifles in their hands, and several people sat together, snuggled up next to the campfire, and refused to go back to their tents to sleep, no matter how their commanders tried to dissuade them, because they were afraid that another sudden shell would suddenly take their lives away.

In this way, although there was no explosion again in the second half of the night, almost no one in the entire wing could sleep peacefully. Early the next morning, everyone was eating an unpalatable breakfast with red eyes, and at eight o'clock, the troops gathered on time to prepare to continue the march. Wing Commander Takeoka Sukeo rode his own war horse, from the vanguard of his team to the end, turning back and forth, looking at the soldiers who did not have a little spirit, Takeoka Kaio rarely did not get angry, because there was something that made him even sader, that is, when he was just inspecting the troops, he did not see the face of his nephew Takeoka Ichiro in the team.

"Sir, the latest news of scout reconnaissance, the Japanese army has already hit the road, and the brother who left behind said that yesterday's several attacks caused the Japanese army to lose at least 200 people, in this way, we can eat one of their squadrons today, and when they arrive in Ding'an, we can eat at least one of their brigades" Tang Lei sent away the foot soldiers, and with a little excitement gave Zhao Zhi a detailed count of the results of yesterday's attack.

"Okay, hehe, Mr. Zhao, in one day, we eliminated a squadron of little devils. How about it, how to deal with this devil today, I can't wait? When Zhao Zhi and the others evacuated Ding'an, Niu Dashan, who followed with a dead face, rolled up his sleeves, looking like he couldn't go to the Japanese army immediately, and Tang Lei and the others couldn't help but snicker.

"Company Commander Niu, to be honest, the reason why yesterday's several attacks were successful, it can be said that our luck accounted for a large proportion, and there will be no such good luck in the future, I estimate that the Japanese army will pay great attention to prevention in the next trip, so the chance left for us to start should be very slim" Zhao Zhi shook his head and said optimistically.

"Hey, it's really cheap, these brutes" After listening to Zhao Zhi's words, Niu Dashan beat his chest and sighed.

"Lao Niu, don't be discouraged, according to the current speed of the Japanese army, if they still go to Ding'an along the highway, they will have to walk for at least three days, and in these three days, we can't let the Japanese army go so easily, we have been shooting his cold guns along the way, and we can constantly raid the vanguard or rear guard of the Japanese army according to our mobility. We have to make the Japanese army not eat well, sleep well, and walk badly. Anyway, in a word, it is impossible for the Japanese army to arrive in Ding'an City in peace" Looking at Niu Dashan who was dejected, Tang Lei, who was in a good mood, comforted.

"Yes, that's it, we can't let the devil live in peace no matter what" Listening to Tang Lei's words, Niu Dashan came to his senses again, "The task of the raid will be handed over to us, and the task of shooting cold guns is of course your snipers." Also, Mr. Zhao, we can't let go of the wounded soldiers who the devil put in the back team, the weapons and ammunition carried by these guys are a great fortune, just looking at it there, my heart is very uncomfortable" After listening to Liu Xiaogang's words, Niu Dashan immediately cheered up, and at the same time, he stared at the wounded soldiers of the Wugang United and their weapons and ammunition.

"Hehe, Commander Niu, you're drooling when you look at you, we still have a lot of grenadiers. Since your brother is interested in the weapons and ammunition of the wounded soldiers of the Japanese army, then I won't rob them with you, but you want to give me the grenadiers and grenades you captured, these things are good for attacking the Japanese army, anyway, the level of those people under your command is too poor, and the whole thing is in Lang Fei grenadiers and grenades" Tang Lei, who was in a good mood, continued to joke about Niu Dashan, but Niu Dashan didn't hear the meaning of Tang Lei's words, and just nodded and agreed.

"Okay, then let's do it, when our people attack the Japanese army to attract their attention, Commander Niu will take your company to attack them from the flank or rear, as long as it is the weapons and ammunition you have captured, it will all belong to you, but long-range weapons and ammunition such as grenadiers and mortars will be given to us, and those American-style mortars in our troops will not have much ammunition, so if we want to continue to attack the Japanese army, we must use their weapons, so that they will not be able to figure out our identity for a while" suppressed the smile, Zhao Zhi finally made a decision, and agreed to Niu Dashan's idea of attacking and seizing weapons and ammunition.
