The pursuing Japanese lieutenant received the latest order from the messenger who hurriedly caught up and conveyed it.
The content of the birdsong on the paper is: 1. At any cost, bite the tail of the team on the mountain;
2. Keep a distance from the team in front and do not launch attacks without authorization.
The lieutenant had some doubts that the captain who gave the order had something wrong with his mind.
This group of Tubal soldiers was very powerful and directly caused the death of fifty or sixty people in the baggage team.
The second lieutenant was dead, four grenadiers were dead, two groups of crooked machine gunners were all dead, and more than forty infantrymen were also dead.
The most important thing is that Tubal Road received two machine guns, two grenade launchers, more than 40 rifles and countless ammunition from the imperial warriors.
Damn Tuba Road, they actually cut off the heads of the warriors and formed a Jingguan by the river.
That's right, putting dozens of heads together is called Jingguan!
The lieutenant was a little absent-minded. He raised his triangular eyes and looked up through the telescope ferociously.
About two miles away in a straight line, the team still seemed to have stopped and seemed to be waiting.
Taunt, this is a mockery of the Imperial Warriors.
I could see "clearly" at the foot of the mountain. There should be only about thirty people on the other side!
Even if he attacks from behind, he is sure to kill all those Tubalu.
The lieutenant kept cursing something in his mouth, and then he casually pulled out the iron rod and slashed at the bushes on the roadside.
After a while, he raised his telescope and looked up at the team above the mountain ridge.
The camera turned to the high clouds in the sky. The lieutenant suppressed the anger in his heart and put down the telescope.
He raised his hand and looked at the high-end watch in his hand. The hands on the dial showed the time: one o'clock.
The lieutenant turned around and roared loudly to the waiting messenger: "I will carry out the order!"
After saying that, he waved his hand.
The team that stopped for a short rest on the mountain road continued to slowly climb up the mountain ridge with their short legs.
The east wind comes along the canyon, bringing with it a hint of coolness.
Shrubs dance on the steep mountain path, casting a vivid green layer on the cliffs.
The devil's head is about two miles away.
Ma Liang was comforting Liu Manhe: "Don't worry, just based on the footprints you left, a large number of Japs in the canyon will probably catch up with you, and they will chase you all over the mountain..."
"According to what you said, your footprints have also been targeted by the Japanese, so we are now grasshoppers on the same line..."
"I'm telling you, Staff Officer Liu, don't forget that your current mission...is to respond..."
"Shit, the head of the headquarters hates the Japanese advance team very much. Killing the Japanese advance team is the big deal. Your ninth battalion is nothing..."
Ma Liang was speechless: "Why are you so virtuous?"
"Don't yell in front of me. As long as you can kill the devils in the valley, your nine-camp siege will be solved..."
"Do you think we are... wrong..." Ma Liang imitated Liu Manhe's tone: "I seem to have heard someone say early in the morning that we only have about 200 numbers now, and we don't have enough troops. We have to wait for reinforcements to arrive. Take action?"
"If we were in the valley, there really wouldn't be enough of us to fill our teeth with the Japanese..." Staff Officer Liu ignored Ma Liang's sarcastic words and said with a proud look on his face: "Now, how could I have known that this little Japanese would really come here to die. ..”
The soldier at the back of the secret service group looked at the Japanese team still chasing closely on the mountainside: "Consultant Liu, why don't you throw two grenades and blow him up a few times..."
Liu Manhe did not agree: "The distance is too far. It would be a waste to not be able to blow up the Japanese. Let's wait until they catch up..."
Captain Qin, who had been beside him, suddenly said: "I calculated that there are forty pack horses, and each horse can carry more than one hundred kilograms. Even if the total is more than five thousand kilograms..."
Liu Manhe was stunned for a moment: "What exactly do you want to say?"
"There is only one large group of Japs in the canyon. The Japs baggage team carries so much food. Combined with what Captain Ma said about the Japs situation, the Japs sneaked into the mountains a few days ago and they must not have brought much food..." Captain Qin said here. , his eyes became excited: "If we can cut off the enemy's food supply..."
...
The Nine Battalions are currently trapped on the ridge west of Tongtian Gorge.
In the canyon to the west of the mountain ridge, a large number of Japanese soldiers who had been silent suddenly started to move, and seemed to be moving in from the west to the north.
No one noticed it at all, on the ridge further west of the canyon.
A team was squatting and marching eastward on the mountain ridge in embarrassment.
I originally thought it would be safe to enter the mountains, but I found that the valley was full of ghosts.
The leading soldiers in charge of reconnaissance had to be careful, and all their guns were empty... to prevent misfires!
There were also not many people behind the vanguard team, more than a hundred.
The leader was a major officer.
The major officer turned pale because...
The New Fifth Army under the Eastern Group Army surrendered to the enemy overnight, and the whereabouts of the staff stationed there were also unknown.
The major, with a company team, was ordered to pick up the officers of the staff department.
However, after walking around in the mountains for three days, we still could not reach the position where the staff headquarters could pass the final transmission of the radio.
Because, in the valley leading to the designated location, there are ghosts everywhere!
The major officer knew very well that for a person like him, it would be difficult to achieve anything.
The longer it takes, the worse it will be.
And even more shocking news was received from the radio: the commander of the group army was lost.
He really got lost during the breakout...
In the middle of the month, the Japanese troops divided into more than a dozen groups from the east, south and west directions and rushed towards the group army defense area.
Each military defense zone was breached one after another. The commander did not organize an attack. Instead, he led the group army headquarters and the 40th Army headquarters to move to deep mountainous areas to avoid the battle.
During the transfer process, there was an encounter with the Japanese near Jiulian Kiln, and the headquarters staff was in chaos.
The commander, who had an old injury on his leg and had difficulty moving, was originally sitting on a lifting chair. After the battle started, the person carrying the commander disappeared.
Now the main force has broken through and moved south.
This mountainous area was originally the joint area between the Army Group and the 18th Army Group.
The Eighteenth Group Army, also known as the Eighth Route Army.
Three years ago, the commander led his troops to attack the Eighth Route Army. The two sides could not be said to be friendly.
Before he set off, he already knew that the military headquarters was seeking help from the Eighth Route Army through the war zone.
The Eighth Route Army called back and dispatched a rescue team.
However, now I can't even find a single eight-year-old boy in the mountains.
There used to be villagers in the mountain villages, but unfortunately, as we passed through several villages along the way, the villagers had either been moved or were slaughtered by the Japanese...
The territory deep in the mountains is vast, and it stands to reason that the Japanese would generally not raid inaccessible places.
If you can bypass the Japanese team to the east, you can completely enter between the Japanese raids and the blockade at the foot of the mountain.
If we then take a detour to the location designated by the general staff, we might even be able to get ahead of the Eighth Route Army.
There seemed to be gunfire in the canyon to the north. Maybe the Eighth Route Army was at war with the Japanese.
However, I don't have time to worry about these things now.
The observation post whispered to the colonel: "Sir, the Japanese in the valley are turning north..."
"map..."
The major officer looked at the map spread out by his men, holding a pencil in his hand and drawing on the map: "The Japanese are heading north... It's great. Now we can save at least one day's journey to reach the designated location."
The adjutant next to him hesitated to speak...
The major officer let out a sigh of relief: "If you have anything to say, please tell me quickly."
The adjutant frowned: "The Eighth Route Army doesn't have any important military targets in this area, right? There are so many Japs in this area, what do you think they are doing?"
"This matter has nothing to do with us. Those bastards in the military department have lost the commander. We must find the chiefs of the staff department as soon as possible..."
"What I mean is...are the devils in the valley also looking for the people sent by the military headquarters to the New Fifth Army Staff Headquarters?"
"Don't think about useless things..."
"What if the officers of the General Staff moved to this area?"
"Please remember clearly, before receiving new orders, execute the previous orders!" The major officer said with a serious look on his face: "All of you, speed up eastward and reach the designated location..."
"You will not be subject to military orders abroad..."
The major officer hated iron and steel: "Your mother...if they were transferred, would he be as stupid as you and not use the radio to report to the military? You idiot, hurry up and pack the map..."
(This is the end of this chapter. This chapter is a bit messy. I changed it first and then changed it. As for the fact that a certain army lost its commander, I won’t say more...)
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
Commander Pang was really lost by his own military.
At that time, the only people who led him to break out were the general staff (Pang's son Pang Qingzhen) and two guards...
Some members of the staff stationed in the New Fifth Army left the trapped mountains before Sun surrendered...
The real situation is much more complicated. If there was any friction between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party at that time, it was naturally the military command, the Central Command, and the great underground organizations...
