The sound of gunfire gradually became sparse, and the sound of shelling had stopped for a long time.
The pursuing Japanese soldiers were sweating profusely in the scorching air and maintained a high-intensity offensive posture. For most of the day, the attack advanced thirty miles!
If nothing else, even walking thirty miles under the sun with a heavy load would be exhausting.
There were many Japanese cavalry in the village. A squadron of Japanese soldiers rode around the village, gathering and setting up defense lines.
Facing the cavalry who came to conduct reconnaissance, but also wearing imperial army uniforms, they immediately launched intensive shooting!
The fake Japanese cavalry finally retreated.
"These Tubalu think they can hide from us just by changing into Imperial Army uniforms?" The captain said with a gloomy face. Those blood-stained military uniforms were still worn by Imperial Army warriors not long ago.
"Shall we attack now?"
"The Major has not issued an attack order, and less than half of the horses can run now. How to attack?"
"After resting, the condition of the war horse is getting better..."
"Facing armored vehicles and machine guns, you don't have much chance of winning!"
In the telescope, there are more than a dozen Tubal machine guns placed there. If you rush forward, you will only risk your death, so you can't attack.
By the highway.
"Captain, there are so many war horses in the village, how about we get a fucking vote?"
"Do you know how many enemies there are in the village? Once they are entangled and the Japanese are chasing them, even if I give you half an hour! Can you win?" Commander Zeng looked helpless.
"Uh... I'm afraid it's not possible, just let go of the fat around your mouth?"
"As long as they are still on this land, we will kill them sooner or later. Observe carefully. All friendly machine guns are almost concentrated here. Pay attention to your response!"
"If they dare to come out, we will not let any Japanese go free..."
Therefore, the Eighth Route Cavalry on the road did not attack the village. The Japanese cavalry in the village occasionally fired a few cold shots, and the situation was stalemate.
A large number of stretcher teams from the Eighth Route Army hurried eastward.
The legendary cavalry duel scene also did not appear.
The Eighth Route Army did not attack because a large number of enemies behind them were fighting to death.
Everyone just ignored each other and got along in peace.
Half an hour later, the broken eight roads continued to fall, leaving bodies all along the way. Finally, they ran away completely to the east.
At this time, a large number of Japanese soldiers finally appeared. The vanguard quickly ran past the village where the cavalry was located and continued their pursuit of the eight-way escape to the east under the scorching sun...
Two hours later.
Hu Yi leaned against the shadow of the armored vehicle, leaning his rifle against the door of the armored vehicle, and wiped his sweaty palms on his military uniform.
Subconsciously, he took out his pocket watch from his pocket, pressed it lightly, and made a crisp sound.
The watch case bounced lightly, and the light in the sky was still very strong, making him feel a little dazzled. The number pointed by the pointer on the dial made him feel very comfortable. It was already five o'clock in the afternoon! But the Japanese plane never showed up.
He felt the ticking rhythm coming from the pocket watch in his hand, with a slight rhythmic tremor, which calmed the waves in his heart and slowly returned to calm.
The tall man next to him was naturally taller than him: "Hu bastard, you charge at the front and let me work as a coolie for you?"
"If you feel dissatisfied, you can dig a big hole and bury the car. I have absolutely no objection."
"Let's switch, the armored vehicle is mine and the car is yours!"
"You are really shameless. Last time you said that the armored vehicles belonged to the Ninth Company. What did you mean by that?"
"It's not interesting. Is it time to recharge your machine gun?" Wu Yan suddenly appeared from behind the armored vehicle.
"Heavy machine gun? The heavy machine gun was carried out from the ninth company bunker by the first company, right? When did it become the first company?" The sound of a mule who was seriously injured and about to die came from the stretcher next to it. The sound was so loud Even the armored vehicle was shaking.
"I borrowed the heavy machine gun from the First Company!" Gao Yidao suddenly changed the subject.
Luo Fugui quickly shrank his head and looked at Hu Yi: "When we went to borrow the heavy machine gun, the man named Gao happened to be with Company Commander Wu. He murmured a few words to Wu Yan, and then Wu Yan refused to borrow it. Later, the man named Gao happened to be with the company commander Wu. They agreed to give one of their crooked machine guns from the second company to the first company, and Wu Yan then brought back the heavy machine gun..."
"You've got a lot of things going on. It seems like you had a plan when you went to Jiulian Company!" Hu Yi frowned and looked at Gao Yidao.
"Hey, if I hadn't attacked the Japanese left wing, all of your ninth company might have died."
Hu Yi closed his pocket watch with a click and stuffed it into his pocket: "You should know that it is absolutely impossible for you to want an armored vehicle. Let's change the conditions!"
"Okay, the Second Company will arrange two soldiers to help you drive armored vehicles and cars." Gao Yidao agreed immediately.
"Can."
Gao Yidao directly pulled away the monkey who was standing by the door to get some air while opening the door of the armored vehicle, and got into the armored vehicle!
Ma Liang, who was next to him, widened his eyes and moved closer to Hu Yi: "Can I also learn from it?"
"Yes, but you can only learn about cars. Armored cars are almost the same as cars!"
Ma Liang quickly whispered: "There are still five miles ahead. After crossing the river, we will go to the Weinan Plain. This armored vehicle... is of no use if we keep it..."
"Even if we dig a hole and bury it, we can't make it any cheaper."
...
"We've been fighting for so long and we haven't seen the Japanese come back. What's going on?" A group of people stood on the tower watching the scenery.
"Has everything been arranged in the city?" The girl who was playing with the telescope looked at Lao Zhou boredly.
"Everything has been arranged, just wait until dark." Lao Zhou shook his fan and occasionally fanned the girl twice.
"What the hell, my platoon will pretend to be the Eighth Route Army and break into the Japanese Military Police directly!" Tang Dagou smiled proudly.
"Have you figured out the phone number?" The girl continued to ask Lao Zhou.
"No, that thing is too advanced. We couldn't figure it out even after a while." Lao Zhou looked helpless.
"Over there at the warehouse... I think, Lao Zhou, I'm still a little worried about you doing this." The girl rolled her eyes twice.
"What are you worried about? Those detective teams and the puppet troops who were left to guard the warehouse, Platoon Commander Arita Sanchi personally took action. There are only dozens of puppet troops. We have received orders from the imperial army to go and check. There will definitely be nothing going on! "
Several people were talking when suddenly a breathless voice came from behind: "Report, the gendarmerie sent an order, asking us to immediately close the southeast, north and south gates, and then leave a platoon to defend the city, and everyone else left the city. Go to the big stone bridge to the west outside the city and set up defenses!"
"Ah? Go and set up defenses outside the city? What do you mean?" The little girl looked at the soldier who had just climbed up the city wall and was stunned.
Before the little girl came to her senses, there was a sound of motorcycle engines on the streets in the city. Behind the two motorcycles, a dozen Japanese soldiers were running behind the motorcycles, followed by dozens of puppet soldiers, and then There were a dozen or so detective teams and twenty or thirty police officers in black clothes.
The puppet soldiers in the team were actually carrying a stretcher, and there were people on it with bandages. If you look carefully, you can see that there are also people on crutches in the team...
"That's not right. When they leave, aren't all the Japs, puppet troops, detective teams, and policemen in the city gone? Doesn't this mean that they are giving up the county seat to us?"
As they were talking, a puppet platoon leader ran up to the dilapidated tower: "Don't you know the orders of the imperial army? Hurry up and gather your troops and follow us out of the city!"
"Uh, brother, what the hell happened? We're all gone, what about the city defense?" Tangshan Big Dog stepped forward and asked.
"What can we do? Who else can appreciate a broken county town? Hurry, there are eight routed troops fleeing from the west. As long as we hold the stone bridge, the pursuing imperial army can defeat them. All eight routes on the plain were captured in one sweep," the platoon leader said proudly.
"Uh, brother, you can't say that. Think about it, if the Eighth Route Army is gone, what use will the imperial army have to keep us?" Lao Zhou approached the puppet company commander and whispered.
"Well, what you said seems to make sense... Hey, what do you mean by that? The Imperial Army has given an order, obey it quickly and assemble the team immediately!" the platoon leader ordered arrogantly: "Otherwise, the Imperial Army will make you look good! "
As he spoke, dense footsteps ran directly past the city gate at his feet. The motorcycle team took the lead in crossing the suspension bridge, taking the last team still in the city, and ran directly to the west.
