Daybreak.
For many people, they can no longer see the sun today.
Suddenly a dark cloud appeared deep in the mountains.
Yes, it’s a dark cloud!
Hu Yi couldn't remember how long it had been since he saw dark clouds.
Where there are clouds, there will be rain.
It is a blessing to have rain after a long drought...
My mood didn't get better just because I saw the dark clouds.
Forty Japs were still following closely behind.
Hu Yi raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling a little headache.
The other arm hanging on his chest felt heartbreaking pain from time to time.
To this day, he can't even remember how many Japanese soldiers were killed and wounded by the Nine Battalion...
The militiamen who came to help from Hongsha Village worked bravely to help the Ninth Battalion to block the attack. Twelve of them died and six were injured.
If Luo Fugui hadn't been reunited in the valley, these militiamen would have been almost wiped out.
This time, the person who was originally here to carry the wounded became the wounded instead.
The militiamen who died were not even given a chance to collect their remains.
Liu Laogeng had a bandage on his arm, and two white grooves formed from tears on his face. His eyes were dull, and he kept muttering and repeating: "How can I explain to an orphan and a widowed old man... I can... ..”
Village Chief Qiao kept comforting him: "Don't worry, they are all martyrs, we will help..."
Liu Laogeng didn't seem to hear him, bubbles came out of his nose, and he continued to murmur: "How can I explain to an orphan and a widowed mother..."
"People will die in war. They are protecting their homeland. They are heroes..."
"How can I explain to the orphans and widowers..."
"We will definitely avenge him..."
"How can I help the orphans and widowers..."
"..."
"How can I give..."
...
A long line of bearers.
The smell of blood was permeated along the way.
Behind them were gray military uniforms with gray faces or listless faces with bandages on their heads or arms.
He Gensheng squatted next to the stretcher placed on the roadside, stretched out his hand to check the casualty's breath, and then felt for his pulse. Then he put his hand on the wounded man's chest for a long time. He raised his head and the villager standing beside him carrying the stretcher shook his head: "It's hopeless." , carry it to the ditch on the side of the road, and come back after the Japanese sweep away..."
Hu Yi has been worried that more Japanese will appear.
However, the soldiers who returned from reconnaissance in various directions kept reporting: "No trace of the enemy was found..."
The pigtails on her head were hanging down, and the little girl was a little distracted: "Fox, could the enemy really be lured away by friendly forces?"
Hu Yi shook his head: "The devil has spent so much energy, there is no way he would give up..."
"I'm really worried. The people chasing Takahashi Japs haven't come back yet..."
"Captain Hu, after passing the mountain pass in front, enter our village. I know there is a place where no matter how many people come, we are not afraid of the little devils!"
Hu Yi stopped and stood by the roadside: "What do you mean?"
"There is a place called Yixiantian ahead. As long as we go to the cliff in advance to ambush the little devils following us, we can kill them even with stones!"
"How far is it?"
"About ten miles!"
There was a commotion in the front team.
"It's not good, Liu Laogeng hit a stone and died..."
...
The Japanese second lieutenant stood on the mountain ridge with a dark face, holding up his telescope and looking at the long procession winding northward in the valley.
After chasing him to the village in front of Lieutenant Shi Yusui, he keenly discovered that the fleeing Tubal Road's combat effectiveness was getting weaker and weaker.
There are definitely not many people on Tubalu who can fight!
Judging from the corpses on the ground, Tubal Road even began to mobilize villagers in the village to fight the imperial army with guns.
I have seen villagers dressed like this before. Which one of them didn't kneel on the ground and tremble?
Could it be that...the one running south was the Tubal Special Agent Group who commanded the report?
I just passed through a sparse forest.
Once again, one of his men was killed and four were wounded.
The second lieutenant suddenly missed the Imperial Army. Although he couldn't charge into battle, he could carry a stretcher!
Tubal Road is so despicable that they even send people to hide on both sides of the mountain road from time to time.
Shoot the warrior who is carrying the stretcher back!
Later, they had to carry wounded soldiers to pursue them, which seriously slowed down the pursuit speed.
Not only that, the messenger who was supposed to be back half an hour ago to contact the brigade was nowhere to be seen.
The team was completely alone in the sudden attack!
There have long been rumors in the headquarters that if the troops are less than one brigade, they cannot enter the mountains!
Every step forward, you have to be careful, and you have to be on the lookout for black shots hidden in the bushes or behind rocks on the hillside.
It's not as exciting as chasing at night.
I couldn't help but feel a little irritable.
The second lieutenant's eyes almost burst into flames, feeling endlessly aggrieved.
The map spread out on the ground in front of you is useless!
The sergeant covered his face and whispered: "According to battlefield regulations, we should retreat now..."
The lieutenant's tone gradually became calmer: "Tell me, did this group of Eighth Route Army deliberately let me chase them so that their people to the south could escape?"
The sergeant was stunned for a moment. The second lieutenant seemed not to listen to his own advice at all.
I have heard that the Eighth Route Army combat troops led away the imperial army to protect the villagers and the wounded.
Using the wounded to lure away the imperial army to cover the combat troops, this... is the first time I have heard of it!
Hearing the second lieutenant's question, he probably would have been slapped if he didn't answer: "I guess so..."
The sergeant deliberately took two steps back, feeling sad in his heart. When did Tubalu become so powerful in combat?
The lieutenant was killed in battle. It is estimated that life will be difficult if he goes back this time...
Next time, I'll definitely have to be a suicide squad...
"Continue to pursue...increase observation posts. Whenever someone in the Tubal Road team leaves the team, be sure to see where they are hiding..." Now the second lieutenant suddenly made up his mind!
Being so condescending, as long as someone leaves the team on Route 8, they will definitely be able to see it!
There are only a dozen or so of the Eighth Route Army blocking the way ahead. If they can all be eliminated, then the remaining villagers with guns will definitely be no match for the imperial army!
Most of the squadron died in the battle. Now even if the whole squadron is killed, Tubalu will still have to pay the price!
The Japanese sitting on the mountain road slowly stood up, no longer as majestic as before.
In the valley.
In the command tent.
The captain didn't sleep a wink all night!
His eyes were red, and his face was covered with stubble overnight.
The attack on Tubal Road on the mountain ridge resulted in the loss of troops and generals.
Most of a friendly squadron was lost.
A squadron he sent to pursue actually lost most of it.
The staff officer's face had been beaten into a pig's head by him, but he kept staring at him.
"Are you afraid that I will commit seppuku now?" The captain suddenly smiled: "Don't worry, I will never do that..."
The staff officer shook his head: "It is certain that the wounded soldiers were indeed infected with Huliela. Fortunately, they were discovered in time and the spread was temporarily controlled."
The captain asked weakly, "Is there any news from the pursuit squadron?"
"There has been no news since I came to ask for help last night..."
"Where are the messengers sent out?"
"Not back yet!"
"Retreat..."
"The two battalions of the Imperial Alliance Army have been marching all night and have reached ten miles south. The Imperial Air Reconnaissance will arrive over the valley in half an hour."
The captain raised his head: "I asked you to retreat, don't you have ears?"
The staff officer's tone was calm: "The Major sent a telegram to let us stay here!"
The captain was stunned for a moment: "You go out, I want to be quiet..."
"Major, let me watch you!"
The captain seemed to dare not miss it. He looked at the staff officer for a while and finally lost his temper: "Don't worry, I won't commit seppuku..."
The staff officer nodded to the guard next to him, and the two Japanese soldiers immediately stepped forward to bow and salute, and then took away the captain's command knife and sword.
The captain sat cross-legged in the tent, motionless and not saying a word.
The staff officer waved to the guard, turned around and walked out of the tent.
Didn't take a few steps.
boom...
A gunshot was heard in the tent...
The two guards quickly turned around and ran towards the tent.
The staff officer shook his head, pulled up the mask hanging on his chin, and walked towards the tent of the wounded barracks...
