Time, little by little.

On the Barley Valley position, both sides were silently accumulating strength, preparing to fight again later.

On the little devil's side, Akiba Ryuxian, the acting division commander of the 57th Division, saw that it had been an hour and a half since the front army headquarters called back, and he was suddenly very anxious.

Although in another half an hour, the planes of the air force will be able to arrive, but the 57th Wing of the search team, which he sent out to explore the way, did not respond at all, how did this make him not angry?

- He does not want to pin all his hopes on aviation.

After all, he had read the intelligence and knew that the Tsuchibachi Road had anti-aircraft guns.

Although they have not been seen from the position now, no one dares to guarantee whether the other side has hidden the anti-aircraft guns and is ready to shoot at any time.

It is still unknown whether the aviation squadron can completely solve the problem when it comes over!

So, he looked at his watch and saw that so much time had passed, so he couldn't help but roar at the person next to him:

"Yaga!

Hurry up, send someone to ask that idiot Takahashi Shinya, if he has found another route! ”

……

As soon as Akiba Ryuken gave the order, the people around him hurriedly sent heralds to ride horses to find the people who were searching for the 57th Wing.

Not long after, someone galloped back and reported:

"Your Excellency the Division Commander, Your Excellency Wing Commander Takahashi reports that there is a small road in the direction of Zhaojiayuan to the south, which can bypass the interception of Tuba Road.

But that road can only pass about 20 people side-by-side at most!

Just suitable for the passage of troops of the size of a brigade!

In addition, from the southeast, there is also a road in the area of Xiaoma Village.

You can bypass the barley valley in front and go straight to Furukawa Village, south of the water spring.

However, it will take at least a day or two to reach the water spring by this road.

And the roads are also not wide enough, and we are afraid that it will be difficult to transport our cars and baggage. ”

A kid found two paths, and Akiba Ryuken was immediately very happy.

What is Xiaolu afraid of?

As long as there is no artillery ambush on the dirt road, it is a good road!

He immediately nodded with satisfaction:

"Yo Si! I appreciate Takahashi-kun's performance! ”

Then after a little groaning, he categorically ordered:

"Immediately order Sakata-kun of the 52nd Wing to send a brigade to take the path of Zhaojiayuan, go around to the rear of the Dirt Eighth Road, and exterminate this group of hateful earth rats!"

In the end, he still wanted to rush to Shuiquan as soon as possible, so he didn't choose this road around Xiaoma Village, but chose a closer one.

In his opinion, the reason why the Tuba Road in front of him was able to use the strength of two regiments to block one of their divisions was completely dependent on trenches and artillery.

As long as there is a large battalion of troops attacking its flank, there is no need to be afraid of the earth eight roads at all!

"Hey!"

The herald immediately took the order.

……

At this moment, the commander of the 52nd Wing, Naotoshi Sakata, was leading the soldiers of his wing to drink cold water and nibble on rice balls.

Hearing the order that the herald hurriedly came to convey, his face suddenly turned bitter.

But he didn't dare to run to fight with Akiba Ryuken, so he could only order his second brigade, the captain Fukada Nagamasasa:

"Fukada-kun, immediately take your people and take the path of the Zhao homeland, go around to the rear of the dirt road, and destroy them!

But I hope you must be careful, my 52nd Wing's loss is not small!

You drop, understand??? ”

Now this brigade is the most neat one in his 52nd Wing, and of course its combat effectiveness is also the strongest.

Naotoshi Sakata has no choice!

Fukada Nagamasa is an old devil who is almost forty years old, but he doesn't know that the co-captain in front of him is very depressed.

When he heard that there was a task for him, he was immediately very excited, and quickly nodded and agreed.

Then he didn't dare to delay at all, and ran forward with thousands of people under his command.

Seeing this guy running so fast, Naojun Sakata suddenly felt that he was using the wrong person?

Will it be to send the meat to the mouth of the earth eight roads again?

This......

Although he was beating a drum in his heart, but the matter had come to this point, and he had no way to recall the other party.

Only the Chief of Staff of the Wing can be ordered:

"Komori-kun, immediately reorganize the team and be ready to attack at any time!

Once Morita-kun attacks behind enemy lines, we must cooperate immediately, and we must not leave the warriors of the second brigade alone! ”

Komori Hirokichi nodded when he heard this, and immediately went to the whole team.

……

Fukada Nagamasa took the soldiers of the brigade under his command and followed the people of the search wing to the path in the direction of Zhao Jiayuan to the south.

After walking for about ten minutes, I heard fierce gunfire in front of me.

"Smack...... Snap ......"

It's like fried beans.

Fukada Nagamasa doesn't have to think about it to know that this must be the warriors of the search team who have met Tsuchihachi.

He hurriedly ordered:

"Hurry up, hurry up!

Destroy the dirt hachiro ahead! ”

A young squadron leader under him hurriedly suggested:

"Your Excellency, Captain, listening to this gunshot, it seems that there are quite a few people in Tubalu, not like a simple guard post.

Should we send someone back to report back to His Excellency the Wing Commander before making a decision? ”

When Fukada Nagamasa heard this, he immediately shook his head and said arrogantly:

"Oshima-kun, you're too timid!

Even if there are a lot of people in the Dirt Eight Road, my second brigade will definitely be able to destroy them! ”

"Your Excellency, what happened to my locust army today has proved that this group of Tubalu is by no means ordinary!

We can't be careless! ”

This squadron leader's name is Motohisa Oshima, and he is a descendant of the Oshima family.

Since I was a child, I have listened to the clansmen who served as officers in my family talk about the war, and under the influence of my ears and eyes, I have an extremely broad knowledge and an extremely keen sense of smell on the battlefield.

At this moment, as soon as he heard the gunshots in front of him, he felt that something was wrong.

He was well aware that the duty of the 57th Wing was to conduct battlefield reconnaissance and, as a rule, would actively avoid large-scale exchanges of fire with the enemy.

But now that the fight is so fierce, there must be an accident!

"Yaga! Oshima-kun!

Don't shake the morale of the army!

You should show the martial prowess of your Oshima family, and don't let the honor of the Oshima family be dishonored! ”

Fukada Nagamasa roared.

Seeing that this guy was so arrogant, Oshima Motohisa could only sigh and honestly admit that he had retreated.

Xindao: It seems that I have to pay attention to avoiding this guy, otherwise when I turn around and this guy is killed by the enemy, it will be easy to affect myself.

……

At this time, the little devils of the second brigade had already heard the orders of Fukada Nagamasa conveyed by officers at all levels, and they began to speed up their march.

Soon, they had turned a few hills and saw that the men who had searched for the 57th Wing were fighting and retreating.

Many of them were wounded, and some even used improvised stretchers to carry a few soldiers with wounded lower bodies fleeing in confusion, blood spilled all over the ground.

On the mountain road opposite them, on the slopes on both sides, there were faint figures in gray uniforms shooting.

Although the number of people seemed to be only three or four hundred, the firepower was very fierce.

There are not only 8 heavy machine guns that spit flames, but also a lot of light machine guns and grenadiers!

Seeing this scene, Fukada Nagamasa was immediately very excited.

He pondered, his brigade now has 1,000 people, and the opposite Tuba Road is only three or four hundred, isn't this a credit to himself?

Although it seems that the other party occupies a favorable position and the firepower is not weak, he still feels full of confidence.

The dignified locust army, and the number of people far exceeding the number of Tubalu, if this can't be defeated, isn't it a joke?

What else to talk about conquest?

What do you say about common prosperity?

After such a calculation, he immediately shouted excitedly like a hungry wolf seeing meat:

"Yo Si!

Warriors, the time has come for my second brigade to make a difference!

Infantry artillery, spread out on the spot, shelled the positions of the earth eight roads!

Heavy machine guns, choose favorable terrain and build fire points!

Other warriors, pick up your speed and rush over to destroy these abominable earth rats! ”

……

Hearing his order, the little devils immediately reacted separately.

The two Type 92 infantry guns of the artillery squad hurriedly deployed on the spot, ready to carry out the artillery bombardment.

The heavy machine guns, on the other hand, advanced a few hundred meters before they chose favorable terrain one by one and built a firing point.

Of course, there are also the little devil infantry armed with rifles, who are ready to shoot after rushing into a position of four or five hundred meters -

All this, in Fukada Nagamasa's view, is very smooth.

Victory, it seems, is within reach!
