The tragic battle situation on the mountain beam made the captain of the Fan Zhao wing, who was watching the battle with a telescope, palpitate, and just ordered a few broken guns, wielding broadswords and spears to stop his outstanding wing for more than two hours!

None of them surrendered, none of them fled, and even the wounded of the Eighth Road, whose legs were blown off on the small mound, pulled the grenade in their arms with their teeth, and died together with the Imperial soldiers who surrounded them. More than 30 dirt roads killed and wounded more than 100 soldiers of the wing, which made Iiaki feel heartache and had to admire the tenacity of the communist army.

The herald reported that the front had been cleared and that the brigade could pass. Iiaki mounted his horse, bowed his head and instructed the herald to tell the engineer team in charge of containment to burn the bodies of the Imperial soldiers who died in the battle, and take the wounded away. The herald saluted and was just about to leave, but was stopped by Fan Zhao again, added an article, and buried the bodies of the Eighth Route soldiers.

The searchers sent by the Japanese engineer team also carried and buried the bodies of soldiers killed on both sides on the battlefield, and firewood stacks were also set up in the ditch on the side of the highway to prepare for incineration.

The wing headquarters of the 72nd Wing slowly bypassed the bend of the road at the foot of the mountain with the baggage team, and Fan Zhao rode his horse to the small mound on the side of the road, and the blue-black mountains of Woquegou in front of him were already in sight, and he could see clearly in the sun, except for a few low hills, there were no major ups and downs on the road leading to Woquegou.

The incinerated corpses emitted a foul smell that drifted in with the mountain wind. Iizhao Dazuo frowned, pulled the reins, knocked the stirrups with both feet, and the war horse trotted down the mound and ran towards the front of the team.

The devil's team set off from the eagle's beak along the road, lined up for more than three miles, and the troops in front were almost at the gap in the Woquegou, and the baggage and containment teams behind had just passed the 90-degree corner.

A dozen or so cavalrymen sat lazily on the side of the road not far from the mountain pass, drinking water and eating biscuits, waiting for the arrival of the infantry brigade. The road rammed with loess was filled with smoke and dust, and several officers and men galloped in.

Seeing that the cavalry scouts were all resting on the side of the road, several people who rode their horses and galloped to hold the reins, and the leader was Iiaki Daisa. He turned sideways and asked the squad leader of the expedition, weishenme stopped? The leader of the squad with a mouthful of biscuit crumbs hurriedly ran over from the side of the road, stood up and saluted and reported that they had just returned from the ravine, and no enemy was found for several kilometers ahead.

Captain Iizhao raised his binoculars and looked at the mountains on both sides of the pass, and asked the scout squad leader, did the mountain send someone to see it, the meat on the squad leader's face twitched twice, and replied a little timidly that there were no people who went up, they were all cavalry.

Cavalry? The wing captain's eyebrows stood up, his face shook twice, and he scolded the squad leader with a slap on his face, which frightened the cavalrymen who were still eating and drinking on the side of the road reflexively jumped up and stood straight.

Those who were tossed by the dirt eight roads were a bit of a soldier of the grass and trees, and when they saw the mountain, they suspected that there were eight roads on it. I heard the team leader report that he was walking back and forth on horseback, and he didn't send anyone up the mountain to guard and reconnoitre, so he didn't get angry.

Enough scolding, ordered the dozen or so cavalry to divide into two teams and immediately go to the mountain to check! At the same time, tell the adjutant behind him to stop in front of the pass and wait for the containment team and baggage team behind.

As soon as the adjutant turned the horse's head, a fast horse galloped from a distance, and rushed to the side of the wing commander, and the person on the horse jumped down with a saddle, panting and reporting, saying that there were hundreds of imperial troops coming from the Qinglong ditch behind, and according to the imperial army, they were attacked by the Eighth Route Army and fled desperately.

After listening to the herald's report with a blank face, Iizhao said in his heart Fortunately, I had made arrangements earlier, otherwise it would have been the headquarters of the wing that would have been attacked by the Eighth Route Army. He nodded to the adjutant chief, raised his horsewhip and pointed at the eagle's beak, meaning that his deputy would just deal with it.

The adjutant and the herald quickly disappeared behind the soldiers who were marching in the brigade on horseback, and Iiaki got off his horse, sat down on the horse, took the kettle handed by his attendant, and squinted at the soldiers who were struggling to climb the mountain while drinking water.

When the miserable cavalrymen, who had been tormented by the stone and jujube thorns, came back from the mountains and reported that no one had been found on the hills on either side of the pass, Iizhao Daisa, who had rested enough, also waited for the adjutant to come back from behind.

The adjutant put Fan Zhao aside alone, and whispered about the situation, saying that after the division of troops at the fork in Qinglonggou, the team escorting the wounded soldiers was ambushed in the area of Shuibao Township, and according to the Imperial Army, there were at least three regiments or more of the main force of the Eighth Road, with artillery and heavy machine guns, and a battalion commander of the Imperial Association Army who was shot in the arm saw with his own eyes that a small group of Imperial soldiers had died in the white-knuckle battle.

This part of them was in the zuihou of the whole team, so they luckily broke out of the encirclement and came along the Qinglong Ditch to find the imperial army.

Hearing the news of a small group of broken imperial jade, Captain Fan Zhao's lips moved, raised his head and took a deep breath, and didn't speak for a long time.

After relieving himself, he ordered the Imperial Army, which had just fled, to march to the front and act as the vanguard of the entire wing. The adjutant who listened to the co-captain's orders clearly saw the killing intent in Iiaki Daisa's eyes, which made people shudder.

These imperial army soldiers who ran dozens of miles in one breath, and their hearts, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys had to jump out of their throats, originally expected to catch up with the imperial army, even if they picked up their lives safely, but they didn't expect that the imperial army was not even allowed to let them take a breath, so they drove them to the front to open the way.

These puppet soldiers, who have scolded the eighteen generations of devil ancestors in their stomachs, drooped their heads listlessly one by one, and staggered towards the pass.

Hundreds of Imperial Allies gradually all entered the mountain pass, and Zuihou's figure disappeared into the shadows of the valley. The adjutant asked if the brigade was marching in? Iizhao shook his head and said wait.

After a quarter of an hour, when there was no movement, Fan Zhao waved the dozen or so horsemen on their horses, and told them not to let go of the reins and let the horses run happily, to keep in formation, and to trot into the valley to catch up with the Imperial Army.

After the cavalry set off, another quarter of an hour passed, and there was still no movement coming from the pass, Iiaki stood up and ordered the whole team to march, and he himself got on his horse and led a few followers to follow the infantry brigade.

The adjutant kept looking at the arrangement of the wing commander, and said in his heart that His Excellency Dazuo was frightened by the Eighth Road, and became so careful, even if the Eighth Road was difficult and could fight, it would not be able to withstand the attack of the entire field wing.

Come to think of it, people are officials, and they are just a deputy, so if you have ideas, you should keep them, and just follow the arrangements of the chief.

This section of the road in Woquegou is high at both ends and low in the middle, and there is a low hill outside the mountain pass at the west end.

After walking on the mountain road of ten miles, there is a big mountain beam that rises from the ground, and in the middle of the mountain beam is a gap that is artificially split, and the highway spirals up from the foot of the mountain to the gap, and then turns to coil down the mountain beam. After this gap, walk more than ten miles ahead to Yinfang Town.

The last time Yinfang Town came to the rescue of the troops of the 72nd Wing, they continued to attack and advance, and when they reached the gap of this horizontal mountain beam, they were blocked by the Eighth Road and could not pass here for a day and a night. After Yinfang Town was attacked by the Eighth Road, the losses were heavy, and the rescue force had to turn back to the town, but it was also ambushed by the Eighth Road on the road, and the losses were not small.

Although this place is not so auspicious for the imperial army, Iizhao Dazuo is still very unimpressed, those troops defending Yinfang Town are all second- and third-rate garrison troops, basically composed of transport troops and baggage troops and other subordinate troops, how can the combat effectiveness be compared with his own field wing?

Judging from the map, this is also on the way to Yinfang Town, a dangerous place in Zuihou, as long as it can pass through here safely, the main force of the wing can successfully complete the retreat, the main force is preserved, and those imperial soldiers and imperial alliance soldiers who acted as bait are also considered to have died.

However, when I ordered to start going up the mountain along the winding road, there was a small accident. Those Imperial Association troops who opened the road staggered and lay down at the foot of the mountain, saying that they would not get up and march anymore, this devil dared not be dragged by the Eighth Road and ran for dozens of miles! Not to mention resting, the devil didn't even give saliva and food!

No matter how the devils bombed and drove away, hundreds of soldiers of the Imperial Association Army just couldn't get up from lying on the ground, and they couldn't even get up by the Japanese officers with whips, and the angry Iiaki Dazuo pulled out his pistol and was about to kill a few cheating soldiers, but he was stopped by the adjutant, and the adjutant said in a low voice, these people may be too tired, and forcing them like this, in case of provoking a mutiny, it is not good.

The mutiny between the Imperial Association Army and the Security Army is not one or two cases, there are indeed a lot, and it is good to have fewer accidents at this juncture, Fan Zhao thought in his heart that he would wait until he returned to Laiyuan and then settle accounts with this group of Zizhi soldiers, swallowed this breath, and asked his captain to arrange for the Japanese soldiers to open the way.

A small group of devil soldiers and a dozen or so scouts on horseback lined up in two columns and walked in unison on the mountain road, and it didn't take long to reach the mountain pass. Iiaki and several of his entourage saw the flags from the mountain through the binoculars, and after knowing that the pass was safe, Iiaki suppressed the joy in his heart and ordered the whole team to leave.

The herald hasn't been two steps away yet! A crisp gunshot rang out! Reverberated in the valley, especially loud! Iizhao hurriedly picked up the binoculars and looked up the mountain, the soldier who was waving the flag just now was gone! Shocked in his heart, Iizhao thought to himself, it's broken! There is an ambush!

There is indeed an ambush, and the first gunshot was fired by the standard-bearer aiming at the devil, let your kid be the herald, and you will be the first to beat you!

The guns haven't fallen yet, and they're still stirring back and forth in the valley! In an instant, the sound of rifle and machine gun fire was like firecrackers set off during the New Year, and the ground suddenly became a film!

The Japanese soldiers who had just climbed up the hill and were sitting on the ground resting at the pass were immediately enveloped by crossfire from both sides, and the panicked soldiers lay on the ground, wanting to shoot back, but they could hear the gunshots and could not see any figures, so they could only roughly judge the direction and shoot back.

The dozen or so cavalrymen still wanted to get on their horses and run down the mountain, but before the horses could go up, a few clouds of black smoke and flames exploded in the horses! It's really a man on his back, this mine is so well buried, it's just under the belly of the horse!

The flesh and blood scattered by the horses and people killed by the explosion splashed the faces of the Japanese soldiers who were lying on the ground and shooting, and the huge horse body fell down and injured several soldiers, and the firepower shot down from the cliffs on both sides was too fierce, condescending, and the Japanese soldiers had no room to fight back.

The leader of the squad shouted to retreat, and the Japanese soldiers who heard the order to retreat dragged the wounded soldiers and dead bodies, and fled down the mountain with rolling and crawling.

It's not easy to escape, the bullets chased the buttocks, and more than a dozen grenades were dropped on the cliffs, all of which exploded in the air, and countless shrapnel formed a fragmentation net, and from time to time the soldiers who were hit screamed and rolled down the hillside. The surviving soldiers simply left the wounded soldiers behind and fled back to the foot of the mountain in a hurry.

A squad of about 50 people, plus a dozen or so cavalry scouts, only half of them returned. The rest either lay down at the pass or fell on the hillside.

Which way is this blocked here! Fan Zhao angrily slammed the telescope on the ground and scolded, these eight roads are too inhumane! How can it be the same as ghosts, the ghosts will not go away!

This time, the devil really wronged the eight roads, and the one who just knocked the devil the mountain is really not the eight roads, nor the dirt eight roads! This is the national army that has been corrected! There is a national army with a number and a sequence!

Who is it? Which troop?

It's the new second division! This is the brothers of the Ziguo Army who are the leaders of the two vultures who are like fakes!
