Section 24 Controlling the situation

Sasagawa's face was gloomy, Suzuki Sajiro and the others were dumbfounded, the solemn atmosphere in the woods was even more depressing than their previous attack in the dark, the news from Jiangjiashan was like an invincible sledgehammer, hitting the weak part of their hearts hard, making it difficult for them to ease down for a while, and the darkness in the woods was no longer the perfect camouflage to shelter them, but more like wanting to bury their graves.

Mita Hidetoyo's words reminded them, traps? If this is a trap, then there is no doubt that it is a question of whether they can get out of here alive, let alone the achievements.

And the words of the chief of staff also seemed to open their minds, there are thousands of people cruising nearby, and it is obvious that everything is in the hands of the other party, so that everything in front of them is an illusion, and the army in front of them seems to be gradually weakened, but it is just a bait to lure them deeper.

"Sasa-kun, what should we do? Jiangjiashan's grain and grass are related to the supply and advancement of the brigade, in case it ......" Suzuki Sajiro couldn't help but shudder when he said this, and his whole body was soaked with blood and sweat, which seemed to make him feel a chill, and his face turned purple.

"I can't go back to Jiangjiashan." Mita Hidetoyo screamed without waiting for Sasagawa to speak, his usually slightly squinted little eyes were also round at the moment, and when facing life and death, he felt the hot pain on his cheeks, and Mita Hidetoyo couldn't help but say: "Suzuki-kun, this is a trap, the people of China led us here, for the sake of the grain and grass of Jiangjiashan, and now that the battle over there has been resolved, where is the next target of the people of China?" ”

Suzuki Sajiro can be the deputy captain, obviously not a mediocre talent, just just care, but now when he said this, he also reacted instantly, and immediately said in shock: "We? ”

Sasagawa looked at Mita Hidetoyo with a gloomy face, and then said with a whole face: "Jiangjiashan has been lost, and once we leave the woods, we may be attacked by the opponent's cavalry at any time." As he spoke, the muscles on his cheeks couldn't help but tremble, showing that his heart was not as calm and calm as his face showed, "In the absence of fortifications and strong positions, we encounter a surge of cavalry, not to mention that we only have two squadrons left now, which is a neat brigade, and the result will not be any different." ”

Everyone fell silent again, obviously the appearance of the thousands of cavalry in the army gave them great pressure, when they thought of the scene of the cavalry rushing like a sea of mountains, everyone did not dare to have the slightest idea of luck, that kind of scene that cannot be redeemed by manpower, they have not seen it, for the unprepared infantry, it is a disaster.

Squadron Leader Yoshida Yasuzo couldn't help but ask cautiously, "Your Excellency, what about the Shina army in front of you?" Do you want to go on the offensive or not? ”

Sasakawa pondered for a moment, then shook his head categorically and said: "Opening this passage has lost its meaning for us for the time being, and the most important thing now is how to withdraw to Ruichang, and we must minimize losses before the reinforcements of the wing do not arrive." ”

"Hi" The officers of the Japanese army immediately responded in unison, and in the face of such a critical moment of life and death, they did not dare to neglect the orders of the brigade commander in the slightest.

In stark contrast to the lifeless atmosphere of the Japanese army, Jiangjiashan is about ten miles away, and the torches are lit up one by one, and the Jiangjiashan is illuminated before and after like a Martian cloud, which is also a clear display of this Shura purgatory in front of everyone.

The stone walked into the village with a steady pace, followed by Liu Wenfeng, Gao Da Hammer, Hu Zi and others, and the staff officer Liu Taiping stayed outside the village to be responsible for the conditioning and recovery of the war horse, in the case of the physical strength of the war horse to the extreme, how to gather strength again in the shortest possible time, he is an expert in this regard, no one can replace him, and this also highlights Liu Taiping's pivotal position in the 302nd regiment.

This small village has completely lost the simplicity of the paradise of the past, and when you look at the whole village, you can hardly find a complete house as far as the eye can see, and the bluestone road on the ground is soaked with blood and severed limbs, and it has become hideous and terrifying.

Liu Wenfeng was tied to the back of a horse before, but he didn't have any intuitive feelings about the battlefield, in addition to the whistling and shouting of the war horse's robe, it was the noise of the horse's hooves, and now looking back at this bloody battlefield caused by them, he immediately had an incredible feeling, and his eyes couldn't help but widen for a while, full of horror.

A green ox fell under a low wall, the saber on the horns was broken, the whole body was dark, and the original appearance could not be seen, the stone frowned, and then walked over quickly, and the situation made his eyebrows wrinkle together, the green ox was already exhausted, and the majestic and burly body could hardly see a piece of good meat, especially the broken half of the horns and the cracked head on the head made people unbearable to look at more.

Thinking of the green ox rushing out of a bloody path under their expulsion, seeing its body being wounded, the stone felt a deep sadness for no reason, "Dig a pit and bury it, without these cows, we may have to sacrifice a lot of brothers." After a long silence, the stone finally spoke, and his hoarse voice was full of sorrow.

Liu Wenfeng couldn't help but be amazed: "Stone, what is your head made of?" How did you come up with the idea of using cattle to open the way? Aside from farming, all I know is beef. Immediately, he looked at the long saber tied to the horns of the ox, although it had been broken, the minced meat hanging from the blade of the half of the blade still made people imagine the unrivaled power of the green ox before, and he became even more curious.

When everyone saw what he said interestingly, they couldn't help but chuckle, and the beard even teased: "Fortunately, the regiment commander is not like a madman who only knows how to eat beef, otherwise this battle will not be easy to fight, tsk, you haven't seen the madness of this cow after rushing up, it is really a person to block people, Buddha block*, what kind of house courtyard, wall blank grass and trees, there is no way to stop them." ”

Shi Luo shook his head lonely and said: "This is a trick that Staff Officer Liu came up with, he said that in ancient times, there was a Qi people who used fire oxen to break the enemy army, although we have fewer cattle here, but it can still play a miraculous effect if used well, it seems that this Staff Officer Liu is really capable, all kinds of techniques emerge in endlessly, and the understanding of the battlefield is also unique." ”

Several people couldn't help but look at each other, and then nodded, even if they had such and such opinions about Liu Taiping, but the battle exploits were here, and the facts were in front of them, and they couldn't be convinced.

Li Wenguang said with some unconvincing: "Just rush at his temper, no matter how much ability he has, it is useless, a lawless person like him who even dares to scold the commander can fight in vain." ”

Shi Shi disagreed, and said with emotion: "If there are more people like Staff Officer Liu who can fight and can fight, maybe the situation of the War of Resistance has already changed, look at our battle tonight, this shows that the devil is not invincible, and then look at the victory of Taierzhuang, as long as the strategy is appropriate, as long as the top and bottom work together, we can also inflict a heavy blow on the devil." ”

Ghost Five rode a war horse and chased after him from behind, still a distance away, the crisp sound of the war horse's hooves attracted their attention and made them turn around, and Ghost Five also shouted loudly from a distance: "Commander, the casualties have been counted." ”

These words made everyone stunned, and the stone asked impatiently, "How is it?" Did the brothers suffer heavy casualties? ”

"Commander, we have sacrificed 8 brothers and wounded 13, all of whom were injured by falling from their horses." Oni Wu was panting, obviously not used to life on horseback, but the tired look on his face couldn't hide his excited look, and his voice was even more excited.

"Twenty-one? Let's just lose a little bit? Liu Wenfeng asked in disbelief.

Ghost Wu turned over and dismounted, saluted everyone with his hand, and said excitedly: "Battalion commander, just these 21 brothers, all of them accidentally fell off their horses in the chaos and were injured, tonight's attack was too fast, and the devils did not launch an effective counterattack from beginning to end, this battle was too painful." ”

Hu Zi also said with a smile: "Regiment commander, this is a great victory, at the cost of 21 brothers casualties, the total annihilation of a transport brigade of the Japanese army, this record is not to mention that there is no one to come, it is absolutely unprecedented, only with this military exploit, no one will dare to say anything else." ”

Shi waved his hand, not seeming to care about this, but just asked Onigo, "How is the battlefield cleaned?" Did the scouts around find out anything? ”

"Tuanza, the time is too short, and the detailed numbers will take a while, but there are at least four hundred captives of the devils, all of whom are concentrated on the north side of the village, as well as the weapons, ammunition, grain and grass equipment transported by carts, mules and horses, there are too many things, and they can't be counted in a short time." After the five ghosts were excited, they made sad faces.

"Don't keep the prisoners, kill them all, let the brothers fill up the ammunition and three days' rations, and burn all the rest, in addition, send scouts around to reconnoitre, there must be no mistakes, we can hit the devil by surprise, the devil will be the same, any mistake, may make us lose all our efforts." Shi blurted out, his expression was very stern, but after the big victory, he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest.

This also made everyone around them stunned, and they cheered up one by one, thinking that there are devils in all directions now, and they don't dare to be careless.

A war horse galloped over, and from a long distance, he shouted loudly: "Report, there is a situation in the direction of Ruichang." ”
