Taking advantage of the terrain, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui brought the power of sparrow tactics into full play.

The Japanese army chased Li Zihan's L regiment in the mountains for a long time, Zuihou himself was tired and half dead, but he didn't even bite half of the hair of the L regiment, and the rest of the regiments and battalions of the anti-Japanese salvation army in southern Anhui attacked the Japanese army everywhere and all the time.

"Ito-san, Ito-san......" Takayuki Noguchi turned back from the front and persuaded Ito Shigeruchi, "You can't chase anymore, if you chase any further, the casualties of the imperial army will only get bigger and bigger, you can also see that the anti-Japanese salvation army in southern Anhui is very familiar with the nearby terrain, and if you continue to chase forward, you will only fall into their calculations." ”

Shigeru Ito stopped, shalting violently with his saber in hand.

Although he is reluctant to admit it, Ito Shigeru must admit that what Takayuki Noguchi said is the truth, and if he continues to entangle in the mountains, the casualties of the Japanese army will become larger and larger, and once the casualties exceed a certain percentage, the anti-Japanese salvation army in southern Anhui will most likely turn around and kill back, and at that time, the Japanese army will be in big trouble.

"Baga Yalu, damn the Chinese pig."

But let Ito Shigeru give up, but he was a little unwilling.

"Ito-san, let's face it." Takayuki Noguchi said, "The imperial army is not good at fighting in the mountains, and if it continues to be entangled with the Shina army in the mountains, the situation will only get worse and worse, so it is better to withdraw decisively and then fight a decisive battle with the Shina army in the plain terrain, and the imperial army can give full play to its firepower and mobility advantages in the plain terrain." ”

"But what if the Chinese army keeps shrinking into the mountains and doesn't come out?" Shigeru Ito wiped the sweat from his forehead and said.

"Then build turrets, dig trenches, and block Erlong Mountain." Takayuki Noguchi said, "Besiege them, trap them." ”

"Yagayalu." Ito Shigeru cursed viciously twice, and finally chose to face the reality, turned his head and ordered the adjutant, "Order, all squadrons alternately cover and withdraw from Erlong Mountain." ”

"Hello." The adjutant bowed heavily.

"Captain, Captain......" The black blind man panted and ran over to report, "Little Japan has turned around

"Well, little Japan turned around?" Xu Shijiu and Gao Shenxing glanced at each other, then turned around and climbed a nearby mountain, stood on the top of the hill and looked condescendingly into the valley, and sure enough, he saw that Little Japan was no longer moving forward, and instead launched a fierce attack on the 3rd Regiment that had been following Little Japan in every way to harass him.

"Lao Xu, look at this little Japan is going to run."

Gao Shenxing's injury has basically recovered, but his physical fitness is far from being the best, and he is tired and out of breath when he climbs up the hill for dozens of meters.

Xu Shijiu put down the binoculars and said with a cruel smile: "Little Japan only remembered to retreat at this time, and it was too late."

After that, Xu Shijiu turned around and instructed the black blind man: "Heizi, order all regiments and battalions to stick them on me, entangle him, bite him, and never let little Japan retreat smoothly." ”

Governor Gao Shen breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Hehe, it's easy for little Japan to enter the mountain, but it's not so easy to get out of the mountain." ”

"Brothers, beat, beat Lao Tzu to death"

He Lao Liu was holding Wang Ba Box and shooting indiscriminately, while yelling again and again.

More than 200 officers and men of the regiment's L Battalion were scattered on the hillsides and in the woods, and they raised their guns and fired continuously at the front.

The only Type 92 heavy machine gun and two light machine guns of the L Battalion also opened fire fiercely, and the scorching bullets poured like water, blocking the way of little Japan's advance.

The small Japanese spearhead group was quickly repulsed.

But immediately afterward, the large forces of small Japan came again.

This time, the little Japanese had a reinforced squad, 60 or 70 Japanese soldiers, and even two 8m caliber mortars and at least six grenadiers.

The little Japanese immediately launched a charge, and the fire support groups deployed on both flanks also opened fire fiercely, and the bullets came like dense raindrops, and He Laoliu and the officers and men of the whole battalion were pressed under the ridge of the mountain, and they could not even raise their heads.

"Withdraw, withdraw, withdraw, withdraw." As soon as He Lao Liu saw that the situation was not good, he quickly ordered a retreat.

As soon as He Laoliu gave the order, more than 200 officers and soldiers turned around and ran, and after only a few moments, they ran away in the dense forest.

The artillery of the little Japanese fired more than a dozen shells at the dense forest, and then the shelling stopped, and the infantry no longer pursued, but divided into several teams, respectively occupied several commanding heights on both sides of the valley, and the machine guns were also erected, and the vigilant jiashi was set up.

Within a few minutes, Ito Shigeru appeared in the valley under the protection of the cavalry.

The mountain roads were so rugged that the cavalry could not play at all, and even the war horses had to lead the march.

Ito Shigeru was tired and sweaty, and his military uniform was stained with mud marks and grass stains, but he accidentally fell off his horse while walking the mountain road just now, but fortunately it was fine.

"Captain, take a sip of water." The adjutant handed over the kettle and said courteously.

Ito Shigeru took the military kettle, and before he could put it in his mouth, fierce gunfire rang out in the mountain col in the rear, apparently the rearguard troops were connected with the anti-Japanese salvation army in southern Anhui, and almost at the same time, the Japanese troops in charge of guarding the commanding heights on both sides of the valley also opened fire, and obviously, the enemy was also found in the dense forests on both sides.

"Yagayalu." Shigeru Ito angrily slammed the kettle on the ground and said angrily, "These damn Shina people, are they still finished?" ”

Takayuki Noguchi, Jun Kono, and several lieutenants also smiled bitterly.

In this situation, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in Southern Anhui is like a dog skin plaster attached to the Japanese army, which cannot be shaken off, cannot be shaken off, cannot be shaken off, and cannot be beaten again, not to mention how uncomfortable it is.

As the sky gradually darkened, the frequency of attacks of the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese Salvation Army increased significantly, and the intensity of attacks was also significantly strengthened, and sometimes even organized a group charge above the regimental scale.

Takayuki Noguchi looked up at the sky and persuaded, "Ito-san, it's getting dark, you can't go any further." ”

Although Ito Shigeru wanted to get out of the Erlong Mountains before dark, he also knew that it was absolutely impossible, and the risk of marching at night was too great, and if he fell into the ambush circle of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army in southern Anhui, it would not be a joke, because at night, the Japanese army's firepower advantage would be seriously weakened, and the disadvantage in strength would be magnified

At that moment, Ito Shigeru instructed his adjutant: "Order, all squadrons are stationed in place and pay attention to night vigilance." ”

"Hello." The adjutant bowed heavily, turned around to convey the order, Ito Shigeru sat down on a stone on the side of the road, and suddenly felt a faint pain in his left shoulder, and the military medical officer came to untie the gauze and saw that the wound wound in Yanjia Town had already suppurated, and Ito Shigeru's mood suddenly became more and more bad.

"Lao Gao, slow down." Xu Shijiu looked back at Gao Shenxing, and then instructed Li Mudao, who was accompanying him, "Xiao Mu, why don't you support your captain?" ”

Li Mu stepped forward to help Gao Shenxing, but was pushed away by Gao Shenxing.

"I don't need to." Gao Shenxing snorted and said, "I have all my hands and feet, and I don't have seventy or eighty years, so I don't need anyone to help me." ”

Xu Shijiu can fully understand Gao Shenxing's self-esteem, how proud is Gao Shenxing? Since he met, he has never seen Gao Shenxing cowardly, and if it were him Xu Shijiu, he would never let people help him.

However, it is difficult to walk on the mountain road at night, and it is especially difficult for Gao Shenxing to heal before his body has recovered.

At that moment, Xu Shijiu gave an order: "Heizi, order the guard company to rest on the spot." ”

So far, all regiments and battalions of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army in southern Anhui have all been put into battle, the only exception is Xu 19's guard company, this guard company was formed by Xu 19 from various regiments, and it is a sharp knife that Xu 19 holds in his hand, and it will never be easily stabbed out until a moment.

"Lao Xu, you don't need to worry about me, I can do it." Gao Shenxing held the wooden staff and said stubbornly.

"Lao Gao, there's no need to be in such a hurry." Xu Shijiu waved his hand and said indifferently, "As soon as it gets dark, Little Japan will definitely not dare to go any further, unless they are tired of living, so what we have is time to rest, and when we have enough physical strength, we will fight with Little Japan at dawn tomorrow." ”
