A long line of figures walked down the ridge.
We quickly crossed the valley to the west and stopped when we reached the opposite mountainside.
A mess, tired and slumped on the ground.
Across a valley, those who were clinging to the rear were clearly the elite of the Japs' elite.
Lieutenant Okawa of the advancing team was holding up his binoculars and looking at the Eighth Route Special Agent Regiment and the national army staff team fleeing all the way through the valley.
With a radio station, it is natural to know the opponent's situation in more detail.
It is impossible for ordinary elites to march at such a fast speed.
Three hours and fifty miles of mountainous march!
At this speed, can't we travel four hundred miles a day?
It’s even more impressive than the Eighth Route Army before the adaptation, which boasted about marching 240 miles a day and a night.
Of course, after just three hours of chasing, the elite of the elite finally couldn't stand it anymore.
He lay on the ground gasping for air, drinking water and picking up cans.
Lieutenant Okawa had a dark face and threw the compass on the map next to him.
The warriors were able to run, and the Eighth Route Army seemed to be doing well, too, but they didn't catch up.
The speed of both sides was so fast that it was too late to mobilize other troops to outflank them.
The tip of the pencil in his hand points to a recently marked location.
After trying to remember for a while, this guy's face turned even darker.
Tubalu actually took the elite of the elite in a big circle in the mountains.
We arrived to the west of where the Takahashi detachment had originally sneaked into the Tubal Road troops.
The lieutenant circled the pencil between his fingers, looked at the map and said to himself: "Looking at the direction of Tubal Road, they seem to be planning to go south..."
The assistant next to him immediately opened a larger map, and after a while he said: "Your Excellency, Lieutenant, there is the 106th Division of the National Army in the southwest..."
The lieutenant was stunned for a moment: "The 106th Division that caused heavy losses to Masuko Squadron last year?"
"Yes, in that battle, Second Lieutenant Sasaki, who came from the Innocent One-Sword Style, was killed..."
Okawa nodded: "Is there any news about Takahashi?"
"Not yet. Tubalu used despicable means to deceive the Imperial Alliance Army. It is impossible to make up Takahashi-kun's name casually."
"Takahashi-kun is a master of the Kagen One-sword Style. With Takahashi-kun's pride, there is absolutely no way he would surrender..."
"But since Balu can name him, at least his identity must have been exposed."
"Of course he has been exposed. Otherwise, when he attacked the mountain ridge, he would have caused a bloody storm in the Eighth Route Army."
"Could he be captured?"
"It's possible. After all, our opponent this time is the most elite special agent group of the Eighth Route Army..."
"Then, are we still pursuing you now? As long as we get out of the valley, we will be discovered by the Eighth Route Army fleeing in front."
"I'm thinking about a question."
"Please enlighten me."
"Tell me, Tubal Road and the National Army in the south are at odds with each other. How could the Eighth Route Special Agent Group get together with the staff of the National Army?"
"This..." the assistant shook his head: "The intelligence we have is limited. I suggest that this question be sent to the headquarters and asked the commanders of the national army who surrendered. It would be more appropriate for the staff to make a judgment! "
"Clearing this issue is crucial to our judgment when facing an enemy..."
"Here's the arrangement..."
After a while, the assistant hurriedly came with a telegram: "Your Excellency, there is an urgent telegram from the headquarters..."
"read..."
"Top secret, most of the enemy's newly formed Fifth Army and Fortieth Army have surrendered to the Imperial Army.
The 36th Division of the First Army of the Front, the main force of the 3rd and 4th independent mixed brigades, the 1st Division of the 37th Division, and the Imperial Association Army deployed from various places have been assembled and will attack the resurgent Eighth Route Army in three days. The headquarters in Liao County and the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army Division in Shexian County launched "iron wall encirclement", "picking and clearing" and "wheel sweeps". Currently, the first part of the 69th Division attacking from the west has encircled the remaining enemies of the 40th Army of the National Army. In the Baiyun Mountain area..."
After the assistant finished reading, Lieutenant Okawa was stunned for a moment: "Baiyun Mountain? Where is it?"
The assistant put away the message and quickly searched for it on the map. Suddenly he was stunned for a moment, and his face became surprised.
Pointing to a location on the map: "Look, Your Excellency, it's exactly the direction the group in front of you is escaping from, near the base of the 106th Division of the National Army!"
The lieutenant jumped up to the map, carefully compared it and started to draw with his hand: "Is it more than forty miles away from us?"
The assistant next to him reminded: "The straight-line distance is forty, the actual distance should be sixty..."
The lieutenant was overjoyed: "Order, the first team..."
The second lieutenant and team leader who was drinking water next to him quickly threw away the water bottle and ran to the lieutenant's side to stand by.
The lieutenant held the pencil in his hand and began to mark on the map: "The rats escaping in front will continue to escape along this road. You will go south along the ridge at your feet and move around the valley in front until they set up an ambush in front of them... .”
The second lieutenant quickly pulled out his portable map and handed it to the lieutenant's assistant. After taking it, the assistant quickly marked the map and returned it to the Japanese second lieutenant.
The lieutenant stood up: "Give up the heavy equipment, please arrive within four hours, and delay the enemy in this area, please!"
The second lieutenant saluted: "Yes..."
...
The long valley is silent.
The sun shines warmly on me.
My feet hurt, my calves hurt, my thighs hurt, my arms were sore, my waist was sore, and my back was sore. It was so painful that I lay down with my eyes closed and didn't want to move.
Since running in the morning, my physical strength seems to have been drained, and the stones on the ground feel comfortable against my body.
Captain Qin got together with Ma Liang and Liu Manhe: "The short-legged Japs have been hanging behind us, which shows that these Japs are definitely not simple!"
"If the people who follow me are not advancing into the team, I will take off my head and play it as a ball..." Liu Manhe bit a piece of thatch root and inhaled the sweetness. He marched for five hours in the thorn bushes for three hours while carrying a heavy load. For more than ten miles, even the people in the special service group couldn't bear it.
Captain Qin nodded: "On regular terrain, we can walk sixty or seventy miles in three hours without any problem, but mountainous areas are completely different. It doesn't take a lot of perseverance to complete it."
"It's strange. None of the staff officers of the national army fell behind."
Ma Liang curled his lips: "Speaking of which, who knew someone was going to kill him behind him, so he still had to fight to the death?"
"No, I think something will go wrong during this break..." Liu Manhe screamed strangely, turned over and got up, shouting: "The break is over, let's set off immediately..."
The Eighth Route Army members quickly stood up unsteadily.
But the friendly staff couldn't get up!
A middle-aged staff officer surnamed Wei just stood up, staggered two steps and fell over, cursing: "I won't be able to walk even if I'm killed..."
"Yes, if we run so fast, the little devil can catch up with me and your last name..." Another staff officer agreed.
Liu Manhe smiled sadly: "Hey, the little devil didn't catch up with us, but he kept hanging behind."
Jin Shanchuan, who was sitting on the ground, was still breathing. He turned to look at Gao Yidao: "I ordered you to block the attack, but you resisted. I will definitely report this matter to the war zone..."
Gao Yidao was stunned for a moment, his heart almost twitching with joy, and he pretended to be surprised: "Why do you order me?"
"You accept deployment in the war zone. Now that the deputy chief of staff here has a higher rank than you, you have to obey orders!"
Gao Yidao turned to look at Liu Manhe and shouted deliberately: "Chief of Staff Liu, there is a deputy here who wants to give an order. Why don't you quickly give them an order to stop the attack?"
The independent regiment has Hu Yi as a staff officer, but not as a commander.
The staff officer of the new second regiment looked to be less than twenty years old, so he was probably just a staff officer.
When Gao Yidao saw that this man was getting close to Ma Liang, he planned to deliberately use the disgusting surname Jin to make Ma Liang disgusted.
When Ma Liang entered Class 9, his relationship with Ma Liang, the original correspondent of the regiment, began to get estranged. But after all, they were independent regiments. It was okay for dog to bite dog. But if the pig next door wanted to interfere, it would be weird if he didn't bite you to death.
At least there was no problem with the outside world. He believed that Ma Liang would not talk nonsense, and that Staff Liu would not undermine him.
Jin Sanchuan, who was still breathing, was stunned for a moment, and immediately burst into laughter. After a while, he regained his breath, and raised his finger to point at Liu Manhe's nose: "Hahaha... This kid doesn't even have all his hair... That doesn't count. What kind of chief of staff is he? In the Eighth Route Army, even a child can’t be a platoon leader and squad leader..."
Liu Manhe looked shy and said in a sincere tone: "Um... Our group has a small number of people, and not many people can recognize the word "er". I just read "Hundred Family Surnames" for two days, so the group leader asked me to be a staff officer. ...The chief of staff..."
Ma Liang almost had goosebumps. Ever since he rescued the friendly army staff officer in the valley, he had kept a low profile.
This look... is simply more shameless than a wicked person. Looking at his expression, he is definitely holding back something evil!
The deputy chief of staff who had just stood up next to him had led troops for many years, and he had already noticed that the man named Liu was unusual.
How many people who can get into the position of deputy chief of staff and make suggestions will be a fuel-efficient person?
The soldiers under this man seemed to be undisciplined, but they always marched in groups of three. Even when they walked on the narrow mountain road, the formation hardly changed.
When crossing the valley, they always form a class of ten people in a pin-shaped formation, and a row forms a spread-out formation. As long as they move, they can form a plum blossom formation.
After walking such a long way and only resting for a few minutes, not even a single person in the team was still breathing heavily!
Although judging from their equipment, their firepower does not seem to be very strong.
But when the puppet troops were hiding in the valley last night, they deliberately helped the puppet troops and took away four of the puppet troops' six light machine guns and a lot of ammunition.
Before leaving, he still ordered the pseudo-battalion commander to continue fighting the Japanese inextricably. He currently had at least ten machine guns in hand!
The men named Yang and Ma under this man are definitely not ordinary people!
The one who responded should be the battalion commander Gao. They could have broken out to the east, but they got together to escort his group. Apart from anything else, the Eighth Route Army would not be able to send such an army because of the grievances between the National Army and the Eighth Route Army in the past. With multiple people coming to escort, this matter... is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface!
Such a commander, Jin, actually said he didn't have hair on his mouth?
Such a troop has almost no subordinates!
The only thing I am better than them is that my weapons and equipment are much better.
Seeing that person deliberately pretending to be soft, I immediately understood that this person had no good intentions...
Fortunately, there are not many of them. As long as they return to their own defense area, no matter how bold they are, they can't make trouble!
I am happy to watch the excitement from the side.
I wish Liu Manhe could kill this idiot who once dared to challenge the commander and talked about the chairman of the committee all day long.
Liu Manhe did not underestimate this arrogant Commissioner Jin at all.
This guy once used Yan Laoxi's power in the local area to ruthlessly kill thousands of underground people on the Eighth Route, and even forced the underground people on the Eighth Route to evacuate Tainan collectively.
He can also sneak into the army and act as a "supervisor". Such a person is definitely not as simple as he seems on the surface!
Show the enemy weakness first, and then find a flaw to decide the outcome in one fell swoop!
(Thanks to Hanjiang Chuxue for the tip and more updates. If you say it’s short, then let’s make it longer...)
