It's been four hours since the spy company attacked the devil's hospital, and the little ones have nothing to gain so far.

Although a lot of troops have been invested, it is still like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Inside the city of Taiy.

When Yoshio Shinozuka, commander of the First Army of the Japanese Army in Jin Province, heard the news of the destruction of the hospital, he got out of bed without putting on his clothes.

In a fit of rage, he pulled out his katana and slashed at the table in his bedroom.

I never expected that those troops of the Republic of China who were suppressed by him would dare to do such a thing under their noses, and they actually came to a long-distance attack!

Even Tada Jun, the commander of the North China Front Army who was far away in BJ, called him and severely reprimanded him, which made Yoshio Shinozuka break out in a cold sweat.

Since the establishment of the First Army in 38, there have been three top commanders in just two years, and there are countless staff officers.

After the transfer from the 10th Division, the war had reached a stage of stalemate, and the situation was relatively stable.

At the moment he has not achieved much success, and he is very uneasy that there is such a big problem today.

The helpless Yoshio Suzuka decided to end up in person, and compared to those unruly grassroots officers, this old devil's solution was relatively orderly.

He first sent people to collect which troops had been attacked recently and which troops had been reduced.

No matter how elite the troops, they will inevitably leave traces during the march.

In his heart, the suspect of this attacker has long been biased towards the Eighth Route Army.

Those indecisive and unfashionable peasant armies will surely show their feet.

Yoshio Suzuka's idea is correct, the Eighth Route Army is not their kind of brute, how can they be indifferent to seeing the common people being slaughtered.

Half an hour after the order was issued, as long as there were areas where devils were stationed in the province, the information needed by the staff of the First Army was sent one after another.

I have to say that I can become a high-level devil, none of them are waste rice buckets, and they are very efficient when they deal with one thing seriously.

Under the leadership of the chief of staff, these old devils carefully sifted out several suspicious logs.

The devil detachment that disappeared in Xiaowang Village was among them.

After selecting the points that the enemy might pass through, the old devils took the hospital as the starting point and the Eighth Route Army base area as the end point, and roughly analyzed several routes.

It's not clear which one it is, but it's better than wandering around aimlessly.

Moreover, they are numerous, full of arms, infantry, cavalry, armored units, land and aviation.

In this way, a small number of hostile forces cannot be caught, so they, the top leaders of the First Army, should stop fighting and go back to their homeland to raise pigs.

Yoshio Suzuka trembled and helped his glasses, although he already had a battle plan, he still felt a little uncertain in his heart.

He pointed to the map hanging on the wall and said:

"According to the current analysis, the guerrillas fled in the direction of their base areas. There is no less than one squadron, but there is a certain probability that there are non-combatants. “

"All of the six routes selected at the moment must be reconnoitred by our troops! Whether it's a road or a mountain road, you can't let it go! ”

"The cavalry pursued along the road, and the information was to be gathered when they reached the town along the way. After that, it will spread and reconnoiter all around, and once the guerrillas are discovered, they will report the information as soon as possible. ”

"The squadrons under the 5th Independent Garrison are pursuing along the mountain roads, and your task is to cooperate with the infantry to keep an eye on the search along the way and see if they go in other directions."

The Chief of Staff of the First Army, who was standing next to him, echoed very approvingly, and added his opinion with a sneer.

"They can't run away, although this kind of weather will affect both sides of the enemy, we have the advantage in numbers!"

"If they take the road, our troops are more mobile, and it is only a matter of time before they catch them. If they take the mountain road, it is no different from looking for death. ”

"In this kind of weather, even for the samurai of the younger country, it is at most three kilometers per hour. When the time comes, what awaits them is a net of heaven and earth. ”

Between the words, this old devil had a strong confidence and killing intent, as if the spy company had already been captured, and there would be no accidents.

Yoshio Suzuka only regained his former self-confidence at this time, and the cold sweat on his forehead disappeared, and he did not forget that the enemy might have a receiving force.

"Remember to inform the defenders bordering the base area of the Eighth Route Army that they must be prepared to block the enemy's reinforcements and not let me down."

"Everyone, let's act!"

"Hey!"

Everyone in the battle room bowed their heads and bent over, and then returned to their respective posts.

————————————

The devil never guessed that the unit that attacked their hospital was not a guerrilla force behind enemy lines, but the most elite spy company of the 129th Division.

Even with a burden, they can march at a speed of five kilometers per hour.

And these doctors are not completely useless, they will help the warriors during the rapid march through the snowy mountains and forests, depending on the physical condition of the warriors.

When the doctors learned that there was a long run ahead, they went to the hospital's warehouse to get some medicines that could temporarily replenish their strength.

They even discussed privately that once it became a complete burden, they would immediately take the drugs that were still under study.

It is not a methamphetamine used by death squads, but an experimental drug that is not addictive but has permanent damage to the body.

At the back of the team of the spy company, Li Yunlong, who was in charge of the rearguard, gasped.

He walked with difficulty, and his mouth could not stop cursing.

"Damn, I'm regressing, if I hadn't been so tired before."

The march on foot is less dependent on the road, less affected by the weather season, and can move in various terrain and weather conditions, which is convenient for concealment attempts.

But the disadvantages are also obvious, that is, the speed of march is slower, and the physical exertion of the comrades is large.

Li Yunlong's situation was not a special case, and the rest of the fighters were also tired at this time.

But everyone was gritting their teeth and persevering, and there was still more than an hour left before the next rest point originally planned.

According to the plan, after the rescue mission is completed, they will spend most of their time in the forest in seclusion.

Only in the mountains will they be considered safe, they will not be overtaken by the enemy's cavalry, and the planes of the devils will not easily detect them.

In front of him were soldiers of the former Northeast Army.

Although he hadn't been home for a long time, the current climate was familiar to him.

The Northeast man carried a crooked handle, turned his head to look at Li Yunlong and said:

"Staff Officer Li, you can't hold back your words. Save your stamina, if you are so inky, you will be left behind! ”

At the front of the team, Dai Yu, who was avant-garde scouting, ran in front of Zheng Yingqi.

Seeing the Scout, who had clearly made a discovery, he raised his arm and motioned for everyone to stop.

"Stop, rest where you are."

Dai Yu looked at the tired comrades-in-arms around him, and said with some concern:

"I found a group of devils in front of me, and it seems that I can't avoid them. But when I look at them, I don't know we're here, they're just patrolling in one direction. ”
