On the mountain road from Pingquan to Chengde, a group of more than 100 people was cautiously searching and advancing. The little devils nervously held the rifles in their hands one by one, and looked at the mountain on the side of the road with vigilant faces.

"Bang!" A crisp gunshot rang out, and the head of an officer of the Yue Army holding Wang Ba's box suddenly burst open like a broken watermelon, and the body fell straight to the back.

"Shoot!" The command knife in the hand of a soldier pointed to the hillside on the left. The little devil instantly pointed his gun at the hillside on the left. "Bang bang bang!" A random shot. The machine gunner was even more furious and fired the bullet desperately at the hillside on the left. Bullets flew around the hillside like a torrential rain, splashing a cloud of snow on corpses.

Wu Pei hid behind a big rock, breathed a sigh of relief, and muttered in a low voice, "Damn! The little devil's reaction speed is getting faster and faster. The flying corpse splashed on Wu Pei's face, making two shallow cuts, and there were bursts of knife-like pain when the cold wind blew, but Wu Pei didn't care, just held the sniper rifle in his hand tightly.

Just as the devil was frantically spraying a rain of bullets on the left hillside, a gunshot suddenly rang out on the right hillside, and the bullet drilled into the head of a military officer from the back of the head, and then shot out of his mouth. The body of the officer stood in the cold wind for five seconds before he fell down unwillingly.

Finding that something was wrong, the Yue army turned their heads again and shot indiscriminately at the hillside on the right. This small unit of the Chinese army is the forward squadron of the Eighth Division of the Chinese army, and now there are only two military officers with the highest rank in this small unit, and the other officers have already been reimbursed by the bullets suddenly fired from the hillside.

One of them said to the other, "Yamaguchi-kun, if we continue like this, we will all be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor before we reach Chengde!" ”

Cao, who was known as the mountain pass, squinted his triangular eyes and said viciously, "Bagaya Road! This group of hateful ** people will hide in the dark and put cold guns, and they don't dare to fight the imperial army head-on! They are not samurai's! But we, as Imperial warriors, must not be intimidated by the danger in front of us! Even if we die, we will die on the way to the charge. ”

The other devil soldier Cao thought about it, if he went back like this, he really couldn't explain to His Excellency the Wing Captain, they had already been reprimanded by the Wing Captain just now. Thinking of this, the devil Jun Cao gritted his teeth and shouted loudly, "Keep going, don't entangle with these small ** people!" ”

The devil soldiers, who were lying on the ground and shooting blindly at the slopes on both sides, got up from the ground one by one after hearing the shouts of the Yue Jun Juncao, and then continued to walk forward alternately.

Wu Quan, who was on the hillside on the right, smashed his fist on the stone and said fiercely, "These little devils are actually good at learning!" ”

The men and horses of the army brigade that followed behind were not something that a few members of the special combat team could stop. If you engage in sniping, people don't care about you at all, and you just set up a few machine guns and sweep the hillside, taking advantage of this opportunity, the large army has already run over. Laying mines is a good way, but the special combat team has no mines in their hands at all, and Li Long never thought that he would be able to use mines in the future, so Li Long's volunteers were not equipped with mines at all. In the end, the special combat team members tried their best, but they only delayed the army for half a day.

On the evening of 5 March, a brigade of the 8th Division rushed to the outside of Chengde and was blocked by Chen Zhenpeng's troops. Since it was getting late at that time, the little devil who did not know the enemy's situation did not rush to attack, but camped on the spot, and waited until dawn to talk about it.

In the Chengde garrison headquarters, Li Long looked at a sand table in front of him, on which were planted several small plaster flags to represent the army, and two small flags had been inserted outside Chengde City, Li Long was silent while smoking a cigarette. At this time, Chang Sheng said, "The little devil is menacing, and with our little people, we can't stop the little devil at all." The commander should have planned ahead! ”

"Plan ahead, what are you going to do? Do you want to give up Chengde City to the little devils! Li Long said angrily.

"Of course you can't be a cheap little devil! Although we can't hold Chengde City with our strength, it is no problem to take advantage of the topography of Chengde City and hold on for ten days and eight days! And in this time, we can do a lot of things. Chang Sheng said with a smile.

Li Long threw the cigarette butt in his hand to the ground, "If you have anything to say, don't sell it!" ”

Chang Sheng was used to Li Long's anxious surname, so he just shook his head, and then said, "First, the army is brutal, if the little devil occupies Chengde, it is difficult to guarantee that the people will not vent their anger." Even if the little devil doesn't slaughter the city, the shells on the battlefield have no eyes, and they will definitely bring great casualties to the people! The Songhu resistance said that the tens of thousands of dead and wounded people in Shanghai are a lesson from the past, so we must immediately organize the people to evacuate Chengde. "Although there are many people who have heard that the little devil is coming, they have already taken the initiative to flee. However, there are still many people who do not want to leave their hometowns and stay in the city of Chengde.

Li Long thought for a while and nodded, "What the chief of staff said is reasonable, so do what the chief of staff says!" Wang Bozhang! ”

"Here!" Wang Bozhang replied solemnly.

"You immediately lead the second regiment to organize the evacuation of the people in the city, and patiently explain the reasons for the retreat to the people, especially to vigorously publicize the brutality of the army." Li Long ordered.

"Yes!" Wang Bozhang replied loudly. "But Commander, what if someone still doesn't want to evacuate?"

"Since they are willing to leave the little devil as a submissive citizen, then let them be!" Li Long said casually, but after thinking about it, he added, "But there is one point, we must restrain the discipline of the troops, if anyone takes advantage of the chaos to rob, or even harass the people, they will be shot!" ”

Seeing Li Long's murderous face, Wang Bozhang knew that Li Long was definitely not just talking, and thought that this guy was also a ruthless character, but he still responded loudly, "Yes!" Mission completion guaranteed! ”

At this time, Chang Sheng put down the tea jar in his hand and continued, "The second point, although Chengde City is not as good as Shanghai and other big cities, there are also many factories and enterprises in the city. In addition, there are some enterprises in the city, and I propose that they all be confiscated to replenish military funds, and as for those who say that they are all taken outside the city to build fortifications. ”

After listening to Chang Sheng's words, Li Long seemed to understand something, "Old Chang, are you trying to empty Chengde City?" ”

Chang Sheng nodded with a smile and said, "I just want to empty Chengde City, even if the little devil occupies Chengde in the future, he can only get an empty city, a dead city!" Speaking of this, Chang Sheng leaned into Li Long's ear and whispered, "In addition, this is also the meaning of the brigade, the strong wall is clear, even a grain of grain, an iron nail can't be left for the little devil."
