Ten minutes later, thanks to the efforts of the engineer squadron, the wreckage of several trucks blocking the front of the convoy had been cleared. Dozens of sapper soldiers, armed with mine detection equipment, began to clear the remaining mines on the road. At the same time, the casualty report of the entire unit was also summarized in the hands of the chief of staff..."Chief of staff, how are the casualties of the troops?" Looking at the chief of staff who was frowning in front of him, Matsuda Osa opened his mouth and asked..."Wing Commander, after statistics, from the time of our Matsumoto Wing to the present, a total of 54 trucks have been lost. The infantry suffered 1,124 casualties, including the 1st Infantry Brigade Jingchuan Shaozo. In addition, a total of 196 soldiers were ineffective due to injuries... So far, my Matsuda Wing still has 2,268 combat troops left..."The chief of staff reported in a low voice..."Bastards, it's all caused by this cunning sneak attacker, Bage Yalu!" Sooner or later, I'm going to wipe them all out with my own hands... Order the squadron of sappers to speed up demining ... As soon as the passage was opened, the troops moved forward. This time, the entire infantry wing no longer sent the avant-garde troops, and the troops marched in a group, leaving the cunning sneak attackers without any chance..."After a brief period of anger, the wing commander Matsuda Daisa ordered loudly....

Compared with the low morale of the little devils, at this moment, all the commanders and fighters of the third brigade of the advance detachment of the avant-garde army of the all-annihilation army, almost everyone showed a trace of a comfortable smile on their faces... Similarly, Li Guodong, as the captain of the team, also smiled when he saw the mountains of various trophies piled up in front of him..."Captain, the results of the battle have been counted..."Just when the heart of the captain Li Guodong was still immersed in the joy of victory. Wang Youzhi, the leader of the first squadron, rushed over with an excited face and woke himself up from his dream..."Quick, tell us how many little devils we have eliminated in these three ambush battles..."Li Guodong asked with a smile on his face..."Captain, after statistics, in the three ambush battles, we have annihilated a standard infantry brigade of the army, with a total of 916 people, including a Shaozuo captain... As for the results achieved by the reconnaissance squadron, according to preliminary statistics, at least more than 300 casualties were inflicted on the main force of the army....In addition, in the three ambush battles, we captured a total of 6 heavy machine guns, 8 mortars, 28 light machine guns, 589 rifles and pistols of various kinds, and 16 grenadiers... As for all kinds of ammunition, it can be said that there are countless of them..."Looking at the list of materials in his hand, Wang Youzhi said excitedly..."Okay, it took just two hours to block the little devil, and such a huge result was achieved, and it was a good fight....However, in the next time, there are more serious problems waiting for us... Comrades, the ones who should be happy are already happy, and now I will give a new combat order ...."

The enemy has changed, although the remaining 2,000 people of the army marched in a group under Matsuda Daisa's order. However, under the obstruction of the 3rd Brigade and a large number of mines, the marching speed of the entire wing can be said to be very slow. What's more, under the sniper fire of dozens of sharpshooters of the advance detachment who came and went without a trace, the entire unit had to pay at least one soldier casualties for almost every step ... In this way, time passed minute by minute. Less than ten kilometers away, more than 2,000 devil soldiers, although they have a large number of trucks. However, it took more than ten hours to complete the road sprinkled with the blood of soldiers... And at this moment, when the city wall of Baishan County is in sight. The Matsuda United, which has more than 2,000 people, has only more than 1,800 people left at this moment. And among the more than 1,800 devil soldiers, nearly 300 are wounded of all kinds... It can be said that on these dozens of kilometers of road, under the blows of the Third Brigade along the way, the entire Matsuda Wing paid nearly half of the casualties..."Baishan County, my Matsuda Wing finally saw you..."Looking at the city wall of Baishan County not far away, in the distance, Wing Captain Matsuda Osaku muttered to himself..."However, Your Excellency Wing Commander, in order to reach Baishan County, the price paid by our Matsuda Wing is really too great. Fifteen hundred valiant Imperial soldiers were killed at the hands of those cunning sneak attackers...", looking at the mutilated and almost half of the troops behind him. The chief of staff said with a sad face..."Chief of Staff, according to the order of His Excellency the division commander, our Matsumoto Wing arrived at the county seat of Baishan ahead of schedule, originally to act as a bait for the entire campaign and drag the enemy to the county seat of Baishan. Before I set off, I was mentally prepared. However, since we have arrived in the county seat of Baishan, I will definitely not give up on those cunning sneak attackers and wipe them out in the county town of Baishan..."Matsuda Daisa clenched his fists and scolded with hatred..."Hey, please give the order immediately. This time, the humble officer will personally lead the troops to charge and eliminate these cunning sneak attackers" The chief of staff put his feet together, saluted, and then replied loudly..."Yo Xi, now I order, the mortar squadrons belonging to each brigade to immediately build artillery positions, and in ten minutes, shell the city wall of Baishan County for ten minutes. Then, the second brigade acted as the vanguard, launched an attack on Baishan County, and occupied Baishan County..."Looking at a kilometer away, there was no movement, like a Baishan County town with its mouth open and waiting for it to take the bait. Wing Commander Matsuda Osa ordered loudly..."Hey, Your Excellency Wing Commander, I'm going to deliver the order..."After saying that, the chief of staff hurriedly ran over to the troops behind him... Ten minutes later, with the order of the wing commander, the remaining three infantry brigades and three mortar squadrons of the entire Matsuda Wing, totaling more than 30 mortars, all raised their black hole muzzles and aimed at the city wall of Baishan County, which was a kilometer away and did not move... After receiving the report from the chief of staff, I saw more than 30 neatly arranged mortars behind him, exuding bursts of cold light. Matsuda Daisa's decadent mind was stirred up again, and he said excitedly to the chief of staff beside him..."Chief of staff, so many mortars. As long as the shelling lasts for ten minutes, I believe that the enemy troops on the city wall of Baishan County will definitely be blown to the ground... Now I order, and the artillery units immediately open fire. Ten minutes later, the 2nd Infantry Brigade attacked. It must be within an hour to take the county seat of Baishan..."All of them..."A dull sound of mortar guns ejecting the chamber sounded, and more than 30 shells immediately flew into the sky with a trace of orange-red flames. Then, it fell heavily on the city wall of Baishan County... Suddenly, the entire city wall immediately remembered the sound of an earth-shattering explosion. In an instant, the entire city wall was shrouded in the flames and smoke generated by the explosion of the cannonballs..."Yo Xi, it is said that the imperial army of this empire is invincible. The cunning people of China simply don't have the guts to fight directly opposite the Imperial Army... Order the artillery unit to continue to fire at me and destroy all the enemies on the city wall..."Looking at the effect of the group firing of more than thirty mortars, Matsuda Daisa's face once again showed a knowing smile..."Captain, the little devil's artillery fire is really fierce enough. If it goes on like this, it will only take ten minutes for the entire city wall to be blown into ruins. However, if the little devil commander Matsuda Dazuo knew that he spent more than a thousand rounds of artillery shells and blew up just a pair of scarecrows in military uniforms, I don't know what kind of thoughts he would have..."Outside the city of Baishan County, in a dense forest behind the Matsuda Wing of the Japanese Army, Wang Hong, who had been promoted to the deputy captain of the first brigade of the advance detachment, said to Liu Xiaogang, the captain next to him, and his words were full of excitement..."Okay, you Wang Hong, just healed the scar and forgot the pain." If it weren't for the telegram sent by the commander himself, asking your first brigade to withdraw from Baishan County and give the little devil Matsuda Wing an empty city plan. At this time, it was not a pair of scarecrows that were bombed on the city wall, but your first brigade..."Liu Xiaogang said angrily..."Captain, I know it's wrong... This time, I promise that I will command the first brigade and fight this battle well. I will live up to the expectations of you and the commander..."Facing Liu Xiaogang's gaze, Wang Hong replied with a smile..."Okay, the battle is about to begin. However, you have to remember that the commander's orders are very clear. In this battle, it is not only necessary to control the casualties of the troops, but also not to let go of even a little devil in the Matsuda United. What's more important is to drag the main force of the little devils to the death, and let them know that our advance detachment is still in Baishan County..."Liu Xiaogang said with a serious face..."Yes, captain....Captain, you can rest assured, I, Wang Hong, promise to complete the task..."

"Operator, immediately send a telegram to the first and second squadrons hidden in the city, and tell them not to act rashly. After the army occupied the entire city wall and entered the county seat, it launched a counterattack again. I'm going to take the guns out of action, and I'm going to trap them on this bare wall...", with the captain's orders. Wang Hong immediately took over the command of the entire brigade, and ordered loudly to a newspaper operator behind him..."Yes, deputy captain...."

"Pass the order, the third and fourth squadrons, ready for battle. After receiving the order to attack, he immediately occupied the artillery position of the army, drove all the little devils outside the city into the county seat, and compressed them to the bare city wall. Let's catch turtles in an urn for the little devil today..."As the operator began to send a telegram, Wang Hong immediately ordered to the two squadron leaders behind him..."Vice Captain, you can rest assured, I promise to complete the task..."

The two squadrons and more than 400 special combat personnel, under the leadership of their respective squad leaders, loaded their bullets and slowly touched the back of the army. At this moment, the commander of the army, Matsuda Daisa, was still immersed in the joy of the shelling, and he didn't know at all that at this moment, one of his own wings had already penetrated into the encirclement that the first brigade of the advance detachment had carefully prepared for him....

Of course, at this moment, it is already a critical moment when the bow has to be launched, and there is no time for the co-captain Matsuda Daisa to have any hesitation. Because, ten minutes of shelling is over in the blink of an eye ... The smoke that shrouded the city wall had slowly dissipated. The entire city wall, after the baptism of more than a thousand shells, has become devastated..."Report to Your Excellency Wing Commander, the Second Infantry Brigade is ready and may attack at any time..."At this moment, the Captain of the Second Infantry Brigade stood in front of Matsuda Daisa with a confident face, and said excitedly..."Yo Xi, very good. Ono-kun, I hope you don't disappoint me and conquer the county town of Baishan that was occupied by the enemy in one fell swoop and occupy it. Use the enemy's head and blood to tell all the people of China that the Great Empire is invincible..."Looking at the confident captain in front of him, Matsuda Osa nodded with satisfaction and ordered..."Hai, Your Excellency the Captain, humbly promise to complete the task and once again plant the national flag of the Great Empire on the head of the county seat of Baishan. With the blood of the Shina people, wash away the shame that our Matsuda Wing received on the march..."After speaking, regardless of the encouragement of the wing commander behind him, he quickly ran towards his own troops..."Kill to... Da Da...", the captain had just left, less than a few minutes. The army began the second step of his offensive against the three-plate axe, which was suppressed by heavy machine-gun fire... The Second Infantry Brigade, the third or fourth two brigades, and more than 30 heavy machine guns belonging to the three heavy machine gun squadrons lined up and fired a rain of bullets at the city wall of Baishan County, a few hundred meters away... At the same time, a shocking shout of killing sounded from the starting position of the little devil. Under the cover of a large number of light and heavy machine guns, the Second Infantry Brigade, which had already lost more than half of it, and more than 400 devil soldiers, clapped the straggler line, shouted slogans, and carried siege ladders to rush to the city wall of Baishan County not far away....

Looking at his troops, getting closer and closer to the city wall, the face of the wing commander Matsuda Daisa was slowly enveloped in a smile. However, in less than a few minutes, Matsuda Daisa's face turned from sunny to cloudy. Because, his own troops have rushed to the corner of the city wall, but still have not been stopped by the defenders....

In the face of such a situation, with my own understanding of the confrontation union, there are only two situations that can happen. One is that the county town of Baishan in front of him has long been empty, and all the enemy troops have already retreated. There is another reason, and that is that their opponents are preparing a very huge conspiracy that awaits them ... However, just when the captain of the wing, Matsuda Daisa, frowned at his brow, thinking about possible changes. The 2nd Infantry Brigade, with high morale, had already passed through the siege ladder and easily climbed the already empty city wall..."Wing Commander, go up, the troops rush up. The second brigade has successfully occupied the city wall...."Seeing that the imperial army flag had been fluttering at the head of Baishan County, the chief of staff's equally nervous face also showed a smile for the first time. Facing the co-captain beside him, he said excitedly... And at this moment, a herald rushed to the front of Wing Commander Matsuda Daisa with an excited face: "Report to Your Excellency Wing Commander, Chief of Staff." Our 2nd Infantry Brigade has managed to occupy the city walls. However, after searching, the entire city wall and the county seat, no Chinese people were found... The entire county seat of Baishan is an empty city..."

"Nani, there are no Shina people, it's an empty city, how is it possible? Baga, we have been fooled, Chief of Staff, the people who kept sneaking up on us along the way must be trying to slow down our marching speed, and finally give their main forces more time to transfer, it must be like this..."Wing Commander Matsuda Osa reacted violently and said..."Not good, now the main force led by the division commander is thinking about coming here." In the entire Mengshan area, the army is empty, could it be the enemy's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain. Quick, immediately send a telegram to His Excellency the division commander, the enemy has abandoned Baishan County, and our advance wing has lost its target..."Matsuda Daisa continued to order..."Da Da..."However, before the communications staff officer had time to leave, a pleasant sound of machine gun fire reached the ears of all the little devils... In an instant, behind the main force of the Yue Army, dozens of dense tongues of fire immediately appeared in the dense forest, which had just been silent. And these scorching tongues of fire are constantly harvesting the lives of little devils..."Baga, where did the gunshots come from, Chief of Staff, what's going on behind the scenes..."Hearing the dense gunshots, Wing Commander Matsuda Daisa immediately looked in the direction where the gunshots came from, and asked anxiously... And at this moment, a lieutenant officer ran from the rear of the line out of breath. Seeing the Wing Commander Matsuda Daisa, the lieutenant officer immediately reported out of breath..."Wing Commander, the rear of the troops was suddenly attacked by the Shina people. The enemy had a large amount of light and heavy firepower, and because there was no cover from heavy machine guns, our 4th Infantry Brigade suffered heavy losses and could hold out for a maximum of ten minutes. Captain, please enter the city immediately, and the 4th Infantry Brigade will take cover..."

"Nani? The rear guard of the troops was attacked by a sneak attack ... Baga, the cunning Eighth Route Army, they are hiding behind us, wanting to catch us off guard, outside the city, destroy us, Bage Yalu! … The chief of staff ordered the troops to enter the city immediately, and the 2nd Infantry Brigade, which had already entered the city, took cover with the help of the city walls. In any case, we must block the attack of the Shina people..."After a short period of shock, Matsuda Daisa immediately reacted and ordered loudly... Suddenly, the two infantry brigades and more than 1,000 soldiers who were still trapped outside the city immediately rushed towards the gate of the county town one kilometer away, led by the wing commander Matsuda Daisa....

"Comrades, rush forward and drive all the little devils into the county seat ... "Looking at the little devil who retreated quickly, the two squadrons in the rear of the army. More than 400 fighters, under the leadership of deputy captain Wang Hong, immediately rushed out of the woods where they were hiding. Closely follow behind the little devil, use the machine gun in his hand, and keep shooting the little devil after the break...
