Qing Shui Dazuo didn't expect the resistance of the Eighth Route Army on the Southern Front to be so strong, this is by no means the small force of the Eighth Route Army that was previously reconnoitred, according to his speculation, there should be a new Eighth Route Army number, he mastered a set of easiest ways to identify the different numbers of the Eighth Route Army when he was in Baoding Special High-tech Branch, look at the clothes!

Even if the Eighth Road is two troops in a military subdivision, they may wear different colors of military uniforms, which is very simple, many times the supply department of the military subdivision or the military region only sends down the homespun cloth, and dyes each unit to find its own way, so the dyed earthwork of the acacia or something is five, seven or eight, and the eleventh division of Yang Bangzi is the establishment of a regiment, so it is dyed black and blue, and most of the troops in the sixth division are gray military uniforms.

When the weather was good, aerial reconnaissance also confirmed Shimizu Daisa's judgment, and there were indeed quite a few Eighth Route Army troops on the periphery of his southern front position, and the number of them was much more than before the snow, and the pilots in the air were estimated to be at least 3,000 or more.

Three thousand? Coupled with Yang Bangzi's troops, Qing Shui estimated that the Eighth Route around him was now twice as large in number, and what the Eighth Route lacked was heavy artillery and other weapons, and in terms of fighting spirit and individual skills and tactics, it was not much worse than his own special operations wing, from a series of battles in Wumen Village on the northern front to the platform battle on the southern front, which proved this.

In view of this, Shimizu Daisa decided to let the troops hold the defensive line and no longer attack. What worries him the most at present is not how much more the Eighth Route besieging him is, but the air supplies promised by the front army, which have not been in place for a long time, and the large-scale airdrop of materials just before the snow falls, and the next two or three sorties of transport planes have come, and the army aviation brigade has not been seen to organize the airdrop.

According to the minimum standard of 400 tons of materials, now there is not even a third! After a week of fighting between the north and the south, the artillery shells are almost exhausted, and the ammunition and other reserves are not running out.

The food reserves could last for five to seven days, and the plan to transport the wounded soldiers was halted as the village of Wumen changed hands. A total of dozens of lucky people were taken out by plane, and most of the wounded soldiers were still lying on the cold clay kang in the town, and the medicine was enough, but there was a shortage of doctors!

Shimizu has applied several times. asked the plane to send a few field doctors and nurses, and Shangfeng said that the arrangements had been arranged, but none of them have come so far! The Special Operations Wing itself has more than a dozen field medical nurses, and they are all the ones who don't do anything! Now the wounded soldiers died every day, and they did not dare to let the other soldiers see it, so they secretly carried it to the edge of the town at night and buried it.

There's nothing that makes people happy! Originally, it was planned to take Wumen Village in the north, and then expand to Xipotai and Gegou Village, and after crossing the Tang River in the south, the horn mouth terrain of the north and south Chengzi Village was occupied. The depth from north to south can reach about 10 kilometers, and the width from east to west is about 5 kilometers, which is a relatively complete defense posture.

At present, Shimizu Daisa's special operations wing is in a rather embarrassing situation, and the entire occupied area is still about five kilometers from east to west. The north and south were compressed to about six kilometers, and the north side confronted the Eighth Road through the ice wall, and did not dare to relax for 24 hours. The southern line has all retreated to the north bank of the Hetang River, and once the defense line here is broken, it means that there is no danger to defend the entire south of Zoumayi Town.

The depth of defense has been compressed, and Shimizu Daisa doesn't plan to finish these existing fortifications, trenches, and fortresses, since he can't attack them. You have to be able to keep it! On the one hand, he strictly ordered the baggage troops to ensure the normal distribution of military rations, and urged all the soldiers to dig trenches and repair fortifications desperately in the controlled territory! He plans to use military rations as a reward to motivate the soldiers to turn the land they occupy into a big fortress!

On the other hand, he took advantage of his connections to finally get a small reconnaissance plane, taking advantage of the relative calm before dusk. Suddenly, he lowered his altitude from the valley to the south and forcibly landed on the runway north of the town.

This time I came on an aerial reconnaissance mission. However, Shimizu Daisa took advantage of his fellow villagers and made eight turns to find this pilot lieutenant, bribed him with a lot of money, and asked him to take the risk of landing once, saying that his plane had broken down and was going to be forced to land in the horse station.

There must be brave men under the heavy reward, and besides, isn't it a dangerous zone of a few hundred meters, and this lieutenant really flew in! Qing Shui is desperate for this plane, he wants to fight for his life!

He wants to go back to Beiping to meet the general Gangcun and ask for an explanation for his 3,000 subordinates! If it weren't for the front army's repeated delays, he would not have brought the troops to the horse post and then hesitated, with the situation of both sides at that time, at least at that time, it would be impossible for the Eighth Route to stop him from retreating north to Laiyuan!

Now, even if they have to abide by the order and stick to it, the front army has an ambiguous attitude towards the air material supply that has long been promised, and if this continues, as there are more and more Eighth Route troops around him, Qing Shui Dazuo is worried that his lone army will disappear into the reckless mountains in the northwest of Hebei!

Although the plane dodged the light and heavy machine gun fire of the Eighth Route Army during landing, the fuselage was still hit by stray bullets in many places, but fortunately it did not damage the vital parts of the oil circuit, electrical circuit, and engine, and the pilot was busy for half a day to repair it.

The pilot thought that he had received money from others in order to bring something important outside, but when he heard that he was going to take a big officer out, his head shook like a rattle! His biplane small reconnaissance plane has not been modified, it is a one-man plane, and there are no extra seats! Besides, landing is thrilling enough, it will be very difficult to take off with more people, and you have to risk passing through the control area of the Eighth Road, if you don't make a good accident and destroy people, you love money is love money, but you can still do it if you don't do it!

In order to convince the pilot, Shimizu Daisa tried all his means of coercion and temptation, and finally took off the watch given by the emperor who had followed him on his wrist for many years, and put the pistol in front of the flight lieutenant, which means very clearly, either take something to work, or kill yourself with a gun!

This lieutenant thinks about it, and it's got! Anyway, it's all down, it's a big deal that the plane takes off and is seriously damaged and then comes back or parachutes, and he has entrusted someone to bring the heavy money back to Japan before departure, which will be almost in the hands of his mother, and with that money, the disabled father and the mother who is not in good health can spend the rest of their lives comfortably.

Started to modify the plane overnight, removed all unnecessary things from the plane, and removed the canopy! The Nakajima 94 reconnaissance plane was originally a small two-seater plane, but it was changed to a single-seater, which was to remove the rear seats and install additional photographic equipment, but now that these have been removed, a space has been vacated that can accommodate Shimizu Daisa, but there is no seat, so Shimizu Daisa can only be tied to the frame of the fuselage.

Everything was ready to stop, Qing Shui was also tied to the shelf and tried, he felt that it was better to squat in the narrow and dirty cabin than to stand and expose half of his body, but the pilot told him that if he showed his body, it was estimated that he would have to be frozen into ice mounds if he couldn't reach Beiping!

There is no problem with the plane, only the pilot is a little worried that there will be an additional person on the return trip, and the fuel is enough to fly to Nanyuan or Xiyuan Airport in Beiping, but it is really not possible for him to make a forced landing in Zhuozhou, where there is a backup airport.

However, many officers and men of the special operations wing have heard that a plane has been modified overnight, and they want to take the wing commander away, and the front army does not plan to want their unit, and the special operations wing is left to fend for itself! It's like stabbing a hornet's nest! The soldiers, who were already dissatisfied with the horses left behind, under the leadership of a few veterans, made trouble!

Some middle- and lower-ranking officers were also very dissatisfied with this rumor that the Supreme Commander was fleeing for his life alone, so they turned a blind eye to the disturbance of the soldiers, and soon the hundreds of soldiers gathered rushed to the airstrip where the planes were parked.

Qing Shui was still studying the flight route and take-off time with the pilot, and when he saw so many officers and soldiers coming to the black ground, he suddenly understood that this was the leak of his plan to take the plane back to Beiping, which provoked a mutiny!

In this situation, he blindly explained that he didn't run away from the battle and left the troops to save his life, no one believed it, the mutiny escalated, and it was very possible for the radical soldiers to kill him and break through and escape for his life, if that's the case, it's okay if he dies, I'm afraid none of these thousands of people will be able to escape!

So Qing Shui first ordered his hardcore guards to stop the crowd, he asked the adjutant and staff officers to light a few bonfires, put on the flashlight, he stood in front of the plane, took off his coat and military uniform, put on a white shirt and sat cross-legged on the ground, drew out his war knife, wiped it carefully with a white handkerchief, and then stood up the war knife with the tip of the knife down and put it between his outstretched five fingers.

"Yikes!" After shouting, the hand holding the knife slashed horizontally! The little thumb of Shimizu Daisa's left hand was cut off by a sharp blade! Dropping the war knife, Qing Shui's adjutant snatched it and wrapped it in a bandage handle, picked up the little finger in the dust with a white handkerchief, and raised it high!

After stabilizing his emotions and enduring the severe pain, Qing Shui stood up, gritted his teeth and said to the rebels who surrounded him that this time he was going to Beiping to petition and find the Supreme Commander to find a way out for all the officers and soldiers of the Special Operations Wing! Whether he wants to survive or not, he will be back by plane in three days at most!

Shimizu, this devil, is a Japanese officer immersed in the spirit of bushido, and he showed his heart with a gesture of cutting his fingers, and he brought the situation under control at once! The soldiers turned to scold the old men of the Front Army and the War Department, believing in their commanders!
