Taking advantage of the situation when it was dark, thousands of devil soldiers attacked Zoumayi Town from three sides, killing all the way from the south of the town to the north, and wandering around the town for a long time, and did not see a single eight-way street! The main eight-way that fought with them for a whole day is gone again!

It was already dark, and there was no reason to search and pursue in all directions, so for the sake of insurance, Shimizu Dazuo decided to take the troops into the horse post formation and rest first.

The mysterious radio station was also silent, and the few small troops sent out circled around the hills around the town, but found nothing, Qing Shui simply ordered to be deployed along the mountains around the town, and this was the rest tonight.

As soon as the order was given, it was dark and dark, but as I saw that the clouds in the sky were getting thicker and thicker, the wind began to blow in the flat ground! This wind is different from the cool night breeze of the previous night, as soon as it comes up, it is blowing against the ground, the tighter it blows, the more it blows, the higher it blows, from the ground to the ear, and then it rises to the air, and it becomes a whistling northwest wind!

When the wind filled the entire sky, the town was wrapped in a strong wind, and the wind blew cold, the flesh was tight and numb, and the face was facing the wind like a knife! The wind alone is not counting, the wind that came down all the way from the northwest mountains, swept the grass sticks, dried leaves, and loess face, and took a sip of choking, and the eyes were closed and squinted!

The devils in the town are better, after all, they can hide in the house and make a fire to keep warm and avoid the wind, and the hundreds of people in the wild are considered unlucky! The first three days of this errand have been quite pleasant so far, and the remaining days have not been smooth for a single day, which is finally into the big town, and there is such a ghost weather!

The more this kind of weather is, the more he doesn't dare to take it lightly, Shimizu Dazuo took the guards and a few staff officers, turned on the flashlight against the strong wind, went out for a turn, and even went to the temporary garrison position on the mountain, and walked for more than two hours after a trip! and others to return to the wing headquarters. His clothes were full of sand, and his face was covered with a thick layer of dirt and ash with his hands!

The layout of the entire devil's wing is that the periphery occupies the mountain beams on the east and west sides, and the south head uses the old fortifications on the river beach less than a mile from the town. The fortifications that have been slightly remodeled and leveled, and the north end is the same as the south, and the position is rebuilt with the old fortifications.

From the periphery to the town, there were combat units, artillery units, engineering units, baggage and field bandaging stations, and other units, and Shimizu's wing headquarters was located in the most central position of the town.

I was very tired, I ate some biscuits or something and slept with my clothes, and at night Qing Shui seemed to hear something wrong in the wind outside the window, and got up and listened with my ears sideways, but I couldn't hear it again, and called the adjutant of the outhouse. Let me ask if there is any situation in the troops, and after a while, the adjutant came back and said that he had called and asked, and it was okay, so Qing Shui fell asleep again.

The wind blew all night. By dawn, it was a little smaller, and the military blanket on his body was shaken off and was full of yellow sand brought by the wind! That person can't look at it one by one, the devil has really become a ghost!

Before Qing Shui got up, the adjutant ran in and woke him up, saying that it was not good, something was wrong! Qing Shui stood up as soon as he was excited, he never took off his coat when marching and fighting. Reach out and take the boots, put them on, and go to the ground.

The adjutant reported that the garrisons on the hills on the east and west sides, six temporary strongholds, were destroyed by the Eighth Route in four places! More than twenty soldiers died, all of whom had their throats cut and stabbed to death, and their bodies were stripped naked. Placed on the hillside!

The reason why the other two Eighth Roads were not moved may be that the two fortifications are the highest points of the mountain beams on the east and west sides, where the Japanese army had built pillboxes in the past, and the Eighth Roads were demolished, but a contour foundation was left, and this time the special operations wing was temporarily on the ruins of the pillboxes. The temporary renovation, because it is a ring bunker group, may not be able to succeed in the eight roads at once, so they did not attack these two large strongholds.

And that's not all! There was also an accident in the baggage team, more than 200 mules and horses, and a third of them lay down! The grooms and the baggage team are still there to find out why. There is no need to check, Qing Shui said in his heart, it must be the hands and feet of Balu who touched the town!

I'm afraid to think about it, on this windy day, go out with yellow sand in your eyes, this eight roads touch into the town, that is, I didn't find where the team headquarters is, if the eight roads know in advance which is the team headquarters, it doesn't take many people, and it is enough to drink a pot of water in a class!

After dawn, the wind was lighter, and the sand and soil carried by the wind were a little less, but the sky was still yellow, and as far as the eye could see, it was all earthy yellow!

Spring and autumn wind and sand is big, this is the characteristics of northwest Hebei, from Inner Mongolia and Shanxi Hebei junction of those deserts and saline-alkali land, the wind brought over these sandy soil, every year has to come several times, this year this is still late.

The wind does not stop, Qing Shui is a little worried, he knows that in this kind of weather, it is impossible for the planes of the army aviation to come, if this kind of yellow sand wind blows for three or five days, his soldiers will have to tighten their belts! And in the distant mountains where he couldn't see clearly, he didn't know how Balu was preparing to deal with him, and this one last night was enough to get off the horse!

Squinting with tears in the wind, standing on the roof and looking at the terrain for a long time, yesterday was after dark came in, did not care about the terrain in detail, Qing Shui looked at it for a while, decided to stay here in the horse post, if you want to go, you can directly retreat north can also get the support of Lingqiu and the source of the defenders, to attack it, to the west you can go to Shangzhai and other places, to the southeast through the inverted horse pass is the town of Kawaguchi can also go south to the military camp town.

Hold on for the last three to five days, and when the weather improves, the plane will drop supplies and then decide that it is not too late to act. Determined, Qing Shui immediately ordered the people on the east and west sides of the mountain to withdraw into the town, from the terrain, the slopes on both sides are not steep, they are all gentle slopes, there is no steep terrain, even if the eight roads are occupied, far away from the town, there is no heavy weapons and can not threaten the defenders, besides, the devil's artillery can directly cover the mountains on both sides with firepower.

After shrinking the troops into the town, they took local materials, demolished the houses of the common people, and built two cordons along the edge of the town, except for the trenches that had no time to dig, barbed wire and improvised obstacles for the anti-infantry were all put up.

The squad-level support points, squadron-level defense belts, brigade-level defensive depth, and the overall defense deployment at the wing level were all completed by the Japanese soldiers braving the yellow sand and braving the strong winds, which meant that they could take turns to sleep peacefully tonight.

Shimizu Dazuo contacted the headquarters of the front army in Beiping again, reported on the combat situation in the past two days, and revealed his idea of returning to Laiyuan from the north of the horse station, but this idea was immediately vetoed by the chief of staff, and the chief of staff also revealed to him a news that the front army was planning a big battle with his special operations wing as the mainstay, and he couldn't retreat at this time!

There is also a chief of staff to say, at the end of the year, the army will expand again, if this operation is very powerful, Qing Shui Ke is expected to be promoted to general!

Of course, regarding the issue of airdrop supplies raised by Qing Shui, the chief of staff also agreed to come down and coordinate.

If it weren't for that golden star, who would be like a third grandson, this ghost weather would still lead the troops around in the poor ravine, with a mouthful of sand, and he couldn't even drink clean water, this ghost place! Qing Shui scolded in his heart, guessing what plan General Gangcun had again?

There is the words of the chief of staff, even if you want to go, you can't go, other people's face can not be given, General Gangcun has the grace of knowing Qing Shui, and he carried him all the way, and he gave the errand of forming a fast mountain special operations wing to Qing Shui, even if there are tens of thousands of eight roads around, Qing Shui also decided to wait!

Besides, there is Yang Bangzi staring at him, Yang Bangzi didn't want to let the old man of Qingshui go like this, how can he have to go through the battle, even if it is not as grand as the Kuroda United, he has to leave 1,800 guns before leaving, Yang Bangzi is a calculating dealer with a small belly and chicken intestines at this point, and he doesn't want to give up a penny in vain, and he has to collect some profits and come back after making efforts!
