"Can't you get in touch with Shogun Watanabe?" Yoshiro Mori asked the communications staff officer beside him with a gloomy face.

"Yes, Your Excellency Daizo, General Watanabe has lost contact with us for more than an hour." The communications staff officer was in a cold sweat, if he was not careful, Da Zuo would fan people at this time.

"What did the Forward Scout find?" Yoshiro Mori's face became more and more gloomy, this situation is a little bad, it stands to reason that most of Watanabe Heiji's brigade, no matter how bad the situation is, it should not be wiped out so quickly.

"Your Excellency Da Zuo, there is no anomaly reported by the reconnaissance post at present." The communications staff officer replied cautiously. "The last time I reported was half an hour ago."

"What's up ahead?" Yoshiro Mori then asked.

"Your Excellency Dazuo, we are about to enter Yangjiawan. It is less than 1 hour at most from Gangnan. "The communications staff officer's homework is quite solid, and there are no flaws left with Yoshiro Mori at all.

"Shout, order to send a few more reconnaissance posts, and go out to the south to find out what the situation is, and why General Watanabe has not been able to contact him." Yoshiro Mori waved his hand, asked the communications staff officer next to him to give orders, and rode his horse to watch the forward truck roll forward.

Although riding a horse was much less comfortable than riding a car, this time Yoshiro Mori insisted on riding a horse and acting with the cavalry brigade.

In this mountainous terrain, cavalry is not only nimble but also feels safer than trucks.

The truck was carrying a cart of soldiers in front of him, and Yoshiro Mori himself followed with a cavalry brigade, and even if there was anything unusual in the middle, he was about to react flexibly.

"Hey!" The communications staff officer clapped his horse and shouted to give the order.

Two infantry battalions and artillery squadrons, towed by trucks, rolled forward with a loud roar, sending a huge noise far away.

On the other side of the mountain, Gao Jianwu's battle group had already got out of the car in place and began to get off the car in groups and move rapidly towards the foot of Yangjiawan Mountain. Over the hill, a few miles away, you can already see the large team of Yoshiro Mori in the distance.

And on the road, a group of little devil cavalry broke away from the large team and began to gallop in the direction of Gangnan.

Farther away, a total of 5 people began to rush towards Yangjiawan from different directions like huge waves.

Gao Jianwu's plan is very good, but the little devil is not a fool, and the group of trucks parked on the other side of Yangjiawan was suddenly discovered by the little devil cavalry reconnaissance team that turned over.

While these little devils sent people back to report, they continued to reconnoiter forward, and when Gao Jianwu's department had not yet moved to the other side of Yangjiawan, Yoshiro Mori received a report of the abnormal situation.

The empty swarm of trucks, which in itself is a huge warning.

"The whole army immediately turned around and searched back to Stone City in a fighting state!" A huge sense of threat made Yoshiro Mori take out the Wangba box, and after firing a shot at the sky, he ordered loudly.

"Cavalry brigade, prepare for the assault!"

At the foot of the mountain in the distance, Gao Jianwu, who was marching rapidly, saw the movement, took out his binoculars and observed the dynamics of the little devil for a while, "It's not good, the little devil wants to run!" ”

Gao Jianwu was shocked in his heart, and he didn't know what was wrong, "Immediately inform all departments that the little devils of the 138th Wing have turned to escape, please speed up the march; Telegraphed Commander Lu of the Third Army Division to ask if there were any troops to intercept the little devils on the way back to Shicheng! ”

It happened suddenly, Gao Jianwu's two legs couldn't outrun the little devil's 4 wheels anyway, and the original plan to block the little devil's retreat by the third battle group had gone bankrupt.

"The artillery is deployed on the spot, and the rest of the divisions are assembled and ready for battle!"

On the one hand, Gao Jianwu contacted Li Yunlong, Xing Zhiguo, and Shenquan through walkie-talkies, and on the other hand, he contacted Commander Lu through the radio.

At the same time, he couldn't enter the predetermined combat position, Gao Jianwu began to command the artillery, and through his accurate map, he began to calculate the artillery Zhuyuan to hit the little devils on the opposite road.

In this dark condition, if it were a different person, there would be no way to calculate the distance, but Gao Jianwu had the accurate coordinates of the three-dimensional map in his mind, and after confirming his location, he quickly calculated the distance of shelling the highway with an error of no more than 10 meters against the location of the highway on the map.

The 16 mortars were quickly deployed, and the tension was set under the command of Gao Jianwu, and just before the little devil had time to fully turn, the first round of shelling began!

At the beginning of the game, a 3-shot shot covered nearly 100 meters of the road, and more than a dozen little devil cars began to emit smoke and fire in the fierce explosion, and more than half of the two hundred devils loaded on the car were killed and injured at once!

"Turn in, get out of the car and leave the highway and immediately turn in the direction of Shicheng!" Yoshiro Mori was dumbfounded, but he still gave the right order.

The enemy has already touched his side, and his own side is unexpectedly aware of it.

Heiji Watanabe must have had a big problem there.

In the sound of the enemy's shelling, Yoshiro Mori judged that the other party had dispatched at least one mortar artillery battalion, which was the elite configuration of the Eighth Route Brigade, although in peacetime Yoshiro Mori led two infantry brigades and a cavalry brigade, as well as the main force of the complete wing of the artillery squadron and the machine gun squadron, it was not at all afraid of the Eighth Route Brigade-level combat team.

But today, when the terrain and situation are unclear, he is not willing to be passively beaten under the enemy's guns.

The little devils abandoned the cars one by one and began to disperse and retreat into the fields on both sides.

As a field corps, one of the main forces of the 110th Division, the little devils of the 138th Wing still maintained a relatively unchaotic formation after encountering artillery bombardment, so when the second round of artillery shells fell on the road, few results were achieved.

Only the driver's truck began to accelerate away on the highway towards Stone City.

......

"Commander Gao, my 28th Regiment is in the direction of Shicheng, and at present, the whole regiment is accelerating towards Matou Village, which is 3 kilometers southeast of Yangjiawan, and the vanguard company is expected to arrive in 10 minutes!"

A few minutes later, Gao Jianwu received a call back from Commander Lu of the Third Division, and the map appeared in his mind, and he soon found Matou Village, which happened to be stuck in a narrow part of the road to Shicheng. To the southeast of the village, several small hills stretch across the road, bending the road.

"One brigade, two brigades assemble! Immediately march southeast along the edge of the foot of the mountain and take the commanding heights of Matou Village! The artillery moved on the spot and followed the enemy to attack with the troops that came after them! ”

Gao Jianwu didn't say a word, and began to give orders in a row.

The soldiers who received the order immediately began to run, from a jogging at the beginning to a fast run with big strides!

The two more than 1,000 warriors converged into a torrent and rolled towards the place of Matou Village.

No one thought that in Matou Village, a small and little-known place, it would become a focus of contention between the two sides.

On the main road, the little devils maintained their formation, trotted and began to retreat, and at the same time, a squadron of small devil cavalry acted as a lead in front, ready to clear all obstacles.

And the little devil Yoshiro Mori led the main force of the cavalry brigade to follow the retreating large army and was ready to respond at any time, and his reaction could be said to be fast, and he could not even say that there was any mistake.

Along the way, after the little devils turned the head of the car, one by one the little devils also began to line up to get on the car and escape, one car after another car of little devils returned three points faster than when they came, all the way it was swishing without stopping at all, and went directly towards Matou Village!

Faced with an unexpected situation, Gao Jianwu never thought of giving up.

Not only does he believe that his team can stand the test, but he also believes that the friendly army must be doing everything possible to seize time at this time.

At this time, he is not alone!

The little devil was very determined to escape, and even firing a cannon to kill nearly 200 little devils did not stimulate the little devil's desperate wildness.

......

In Matou Village, Ma Xiaowu, the leader of the local district team, received the news and asked the district team to block the attack on the spot and wait for reinforcements from the county team.

All 35 members of the district squad were dispatched, with 25 spears, more than 1,000 rounds of ammunition, several mines, and an old artillery gun inherited from the Manchu Dynasty to ambush on the spot at the southeast entrance of Matou Village.

At this time, Ma Xiaowu had no idea what the enemy they were going to face was.

However, someone Pegasus gave the order, and the entire district team stood out from the hidden place without hesitation, blocking the path that the 138th Wing must pass.

Lying on the hill at the entrance of the village, team member Chen Ergou said to Ma Xiaowu, "Captain, are we fighting two devils or little devils?" ”

"I don't know, maybe it's a little devil, there are a lot of notices above, everyone should be mentally prepared." Ma Xiaowu replied with some seriousness.

"I'm afraid of a ball, if you want me to say, it's only when you play a little devil that you can bring energy, it's just that our guy is a little stretched, and the little devil has to be put in to play accurately, and when the brothers are replaced with three or eight big covers to get strong. That guy is always accurate, last time I went to the main force to try a shot, 100 meters target I hit the bull's-eye with one shot, if it weren't for the captain of you, I would have been left behind. ”

"You can pull it down, Chen Ergou, who doesn't know that your kid is reluctant to widow Ah Hua, if Ah Hua hadn't stayed in Matou Village, your kid would have gone away long ago."

After a member of the team next to him finished speaking, a burst of knowing laughter broke out on the battlefield.

"You guys are envious, what's wrong with labor and management like Ah Hua, people also like strong guys like labor and management, if you have the ability, you can also say a family business, I said to Ah Hua, and when I beat away this little devil who swept away, I will marry Ah Hua." Chen Ergou was not embarrassed at all about everyone's coaxing, but said a little ostentatiously.

Sure enough, as long as he is shameless, no one can laugh at him Chen Ergou, I heard that this dog day is really going to get married, and these young men who coaxed suddenly lost their interest in jokes.

This joke didn't work out, but it made the other party pretend to be a wave, so that how could this group of single dogs be happy.
