"Captain, the Japs are catching up, they are moving so fast!"
The scout ran over to report to Li Yunlong.
"It's normal. The Japanese soldiers have better physical condition than us, and now they have the potential to explode in desperate situations. They will definitely be faster than us!" Li Yunlong said very calmly: "Just tell the troops to march according to the original plan. Don't worry about the Japanese soldiers." Catch up."
At this moment, behind the new group is a minefield.
The Japanese soldiers ran fast, but when they entered a minefield, they could not run fast unless they gave themselves wings.
"yes."
…
"Work harder, everyone, work harder, hurry up!"
Pinggu Daxiong personally led the Japanese soldiers to pursue them. Due to the same hatred of the enemy, Pinggu Daxiong and the Japanese soldiers were both very fast. Although the new regiment of Tubal Road in front had already started to run away, the distance between the two sides was rapidly closing.
"Chase!"
"rush!"
The Japanese soldiers gritted their teeth and ran as fast as they could.
The Imperial Alliance Army fell behind.
boom!
boom!
boom!
…
Pinggu Daxiong led the Japanese soldiers to an abandoned field, where a large number of landmines were buried.
The Japanese soldiers stepped on the landmines, causing tragic casualties immediately!
"Baga, despicable Tuba Road, they have laid a minefield!"
"Baga, my legs, my legs!"
"Baga, Baga!"
…
The explosion of the landmine caused the Japanese soldiers' pursuit to stop instantly.
On the white snow of Kaikai in front of us, there are footprints of Tubal Road everywhere, which means that Tubal Road must have laid dense mines here.
If you force the passage, there will be heavy casualties.
As for the detour, I really want to catch up with the new regiment right now. Not to mention that the detour will be a waste of energy. If things go wrong, the new regiment on Tubal Road seizes the opportunity and disappears. The troops are now out of food and cannot even intercept the opponent's transport team. , they can only starve and freeze in the snow.
The Japanese officers all looked at Pinggu Daxiong: "General, what should we do?"
Pinggu Daxiong looked at the Japanese soldiers who suffered heavy casualties, and his eyes almost burst out of fire!
The commander of the New Regiment on Tubal Road must have known that his soldiers were physically inferior to the Emperor's soldiers. In order to delay the pursuit of the Emperor's soldiers, the New Regiment despicably laid minefields.
Pinggu Big Bear can even judge that if this pursuit continues, there will probably be more minefields than this one.
In other words, Pinggu Daxiong would either give up the pursuit and then watch the troops starve and freeze in the snow.
Otherwise, Pinggu Daxiong would have to withstand heavy casualties and pursue forcefully, but the final result might be in vain.
"Where is the Imperial Alliance Army?" Pinggu Daxiong asked.
"Two kilometers behind us." The adjutant replied. He understood what Pinggu Daxiong meant. He wanted to force the Imperial Army to step on the mine.
But over two kilometers of snow, it would take half an hour for the Imperial Army to catch up.
After half an hour's delay, the distance between us and the new group on Tubal Road would be widened again by the new group.
Pinggu Daxiong scolded: "This bunch of rubbish are always useless at critical moments!"
"General, shall we send out death squads to forcibly explore the road and charge?" The adjutant understood Pinggu Daxiong's choice, and it was a helpless choice.
"This is the only way." Pinggu Daxiong said unwillingly, "Tell the warriors that their blood will not be in vain, and we will take their ashes home."
"Ha Yi!" The adjutant nodded and immediately organized a group of death squads.
The Japanese soldiers of the death squads were brainwashed by Bushido, and they ran towards the minefield as if they were dead.
Pinggu Daxiong led the Japanese army and followed in the footsteps of the death squad soldiers.
boom!
boom!
boom!
…
The Japanese soldiers of the death squad stepped on more landmines. Along the way, blood and body fragments were scattered, accompanied by the miserable screams of the injured and the dying sounds of the dying.
But the suicide squads behind them, under the brainwashing of Bushido, did not back down. They moved forward one after another and continued towards the road of death.
boom!
boom!
boom!
…
More and more landmines went off, and the number of death squads dropped sharply. The smell of blood mixed with the smell of gunpowder smoke in the air made the Japanese soldiers behind them unable to help but feel sad.
Is such death and such sacrifice worth it?
Pinggu Daxiong looked at the increasing casualties, and he could only bury the seeds of hatred deep in his heart.
Warriors, I, Pinggu Daxiong, am sorry for you!
But your death will not be in vain, I will definitely catch up with the new group and avenge you!
"Sha Gadi, charge!"
"No retreat!"
"Come on!"
…
The death squad officers urged the death squads to speed up, and all the remaining death squads eventually fell.
Hundreds of suicide squad members were either killed or seriously injured by the bombing, and no one survived.
But the minefield was only halfway through.
"General, are we still charging?" The adjutant had tears in his eyes and turned to look at Pinggu Daxiong.
"Charge, charge me!" Pinggu Big Bear roared hysterically like a madman.
On the frontal battlefield, hundreds of emperor's warriors were killed or wounded, often in exchange for thousands or even tens of thousands of Chinese casualties.
But now, hundreds of Emperor's warriors have been killed or injured, but not even a single enemy has been killed... or even a single hair of the enemy has been touched.
Hundreds of brave warriors of the emperor, but they fell like humble grass.
Such a price would drive any commander crazy.
However, the military rations have run out, and it will take at least a week for the supplies from the headquarters to be delivered.
Either sit back and wait for death, or you can only continue to chase the new group.
"General, why don't you let the Imperial Alliance Army clear mines?" the adjutant said unbearably.
"When the Imperial Alliance Army comes up, the distance we have finally narrowed will be gone." Hiratani Daxiong didn't want the Imperial Alliance Army to die for the Emperor's soldiers, but now he was determined not to lose track of the new regiment and not to distance himself.
The speed of the Imperial Alliance Army has now become even slower. It takes them an hour to walk two kilometers.
Pinggu Daxiong understood why the Imperial Alliance Army was slowing down. They did it on purpose.
The Chinese people can never count on them at critical moments.
"Hai Yi, I'm going then." The adjutant had no choice but to immediately organize the death squad again.
"Come here, hurry up the Imperial Alliance Army. They must catch up with us within an hour, otherwise, our Imperial Army will not guarantee the safety of their families!" The adjutant went, and Pinggu Daxiong sent someone to convey the order to the Imperial Alliance Army.
"Ha Yi." The communications soldier hurried over.
boom!
boom!
boom!
…
The adjutant organized a new death squad, and the new death squad continued to charge. They stepped on new mines and paid new casualties.
On the Imperial Alliance Army's side, they were "panting" and slowing down, while they were all talking about it.
"These devils are really inhumane. They have looted all the dry food, and they don't think about what we will eat!"
"Even if the food and grass are burned, we don't want to see it, but the responsibility for this all falls on our Imperial Alliance Army. Don't they have no responsibility at all!"
"There is the sound of stepping on mines ahead. It is very likely that the new group on Tubal Road has laid a minefield. We can't join in stupidly, otherwise, the Japanese will let us step on mines."
"Yes, yes, we have no food to eat, we are hungry, and we have no strength to march. This is reasonable."
…
The Japanese communications corps conveyed Pinggu Daxiong's order to the ears of senior officers of the Imperial Association Army.
As soon as the Japanese communications troops left, the senior officers of the Imperial Army were all cursing:
"These damn little devils, they obviously want us to catch up and use us as gunmen."
"You also use our family members to threaten us. What do you think?"
"If we don't get through, we won't get through even if we are killed. Now the troops are out of food. I can already predict the outcome of this battle. We will definitely lose."
"Yes, we are bound to lose. This is inevitable. However, the devils are threatening our family. You don't want to think about your wife, children and children at home."
"I don't believe it anymore. He can kill all the family members of the 20,000 Imperial Alliance Army members!"
"It's hard to say. The Japs are inhumane. They massacred more than 300,000 people in the capital in the past. If they kill tens of thousands more family members of the Imperial Alliance Army, it won't matter."
"Yes, the inhumane devils are definitely not kidding us! If we don't get over, we may really become alone."
"If I don't go there, I won't go there even if I'm beaten to death. If I lose my wife, the worst I can do is to remarry. I'll lose my life, but I'll lose everything."
"My mother has lived enough. She deserves to die, and I won't go over. I think he will forgive me. Because if I go over, I die, and the incense in my family is cut off, and my mother will definitely die with her eyes open."
"I won't go there either. My father is too old. In ancient times, he would have been carried to the mountains to feed the tigers. I have fulfilled my filial piety by surrendering to the Japanese so that he can enjoy a few more years of happiness and have enough to eat!" "
"I want to go there. I still have a baby at home. We can't give up. I have to go there."
"I can't go there. My wife is stealing someone, and I don't know if the baby is my biological child. I have to live!"
…
The officers of the Imperial Association Army had different opinions. When Pinggu Daxiong threatened their families, some of them chose to continue working as foreigners, while others tried to catch up as quickly as possible.
"Captain, the Japanese have organized death squads and are forcing their way through the minefield. Now it's the second wave of death squads." The scout came to report to Li Yunlong.
"I know, let's continue to inquire." Li Yunlong was very calm and waved the scout to go back and continue to inquire about the news.
"Li Yunlong, Pinggu Big Bear should ask the Imperial Army to step on mines next." The brigade commander said to Li Yunlong, "How many more minefields did you ask Zhang Dabiao to lay out?"
"Brigadier, don't worry. We have used all the mines we snatched from the Fourth Brigade. Even if the Japanese soldiers force the two Japanese soldiers to step on the mines, it will be enough." Li Yunlong said, "I have one now. new idea."
"What new idea?"
"This Pinggu Big Bear is out of food. We must ask Yoshio Shinozuka for help. Yoshio Shinozuka may be preparing supplies at this moment. Should we allocate part of our troops to intercept the food?" Li Yunlong said.
"Li Yunlong, you are so impatient," said the brigade commander. "It will take a week to deliver this food and supplies. It will take us a week to destroy the Pinggu Bear. After destroying the Pinggu Bear, we can divide our troops to intercept. It’s not too late for food.”
"Yes, yes." Li Yunlong nodded and said: "Sooner or later, the provisions delivered to our door will be food in our mouths, but we are not in a hurry to eat them right away."
…
boom!
boom!
boom!
The second wave of death squads sent by Pinggu Daxiong's adjutant soon all fell.
The combined casualties of the two groups of suicide squads exceeded that of a full brigade.
A full brigade can be used to support a brigade or even a division on the frontal battlefield.
But they didn't even see the enemy's shadow, so they fell with humiliation and unwillingness.
Pinggu Daxiong was filled with anger and slapped the imperial association officer who came over: "Baga, you losers, why are you walking so slowly!"
The faces of the beaten Imperial Army officers were as swollen as pig heads. Seeing the heavy casualties of the Japanese soldiers, some of them regretted that they should not have gotten together, but they were more scared and nervous.
"Take your troops and catch up with me immediately!" Pinggu Daxiong reprimanded these Imperial Association Army officers and immediately ordered them to lead the team in pursuit in the direction of the new regiment.
The officers of the Imperial Association Army, with several thousand Imperial Association troops, immediately set out to pursue them.
Pinggu Daxiong followed closely behind him with the army of Japanese soldiers.
But there are also problems with this.
That means there are no minefields on the next road.
The physical quality of the Imperial Alliance Army was not as good as that of the Japanese soldiers. In addition, they were tired and did not eat along the way, so the pace of the march became slower and slower.
As soon as the pace of the Imperial Alliance Army slowed down, it blocked the advance of the Japanese soldiers.
"Baga, these losers are moving too slowly." Pinggu Big Bear saw this and began to curse again, "At this speed, we can't catch up with the new group."
Finally, Hiratani Daokuma changed his order again, which was to let the Imperial Army get out of the way and let the Emperor's soldiers cross over to pursue the Imperial Army.
Hiratani Daxiong led the Emperor's soldiers to cross the Imperial Alliance Army and pursue them. During this burst of running, the Emperor's Alliance Army soldiers were once again left behind.
Of course, the effect of Pinggu Big Bear's fierce pursuit is obvious.
That was to close the distance with the new group on Tubal Road, but something even more disturbing came again.
The Japanese soldiers encountered a minefield again.
boom!
boom!
boom!
…
The explosion of a landmine stopped the running pace of the Japanese soldiers again.
Pinggu Daxiong looked behind him and asked: "How far is the Imperial Alliance Army from us?"
"General, they were pushed back two kilometers by us." someone answered.
"Baga, this abominable waste!" When Pinggu Daxiong heard this, he immediately jumped up in anger.
In this case, wouldn't the situation be exactly the same as before?
The Imperial Alliance Army was two kilometers behind, and it would take at least half an hour to catch up.
By spending half an hour here, wouldn't the distance between us and the new group be lost again?
Could it be that he, Pinggu Daxiong, has to organize a new death squad to step on mines?
Even if the mines can be cleared this time at the cost of a full brigade, what about the next time, and the next time?
You can't pay the price of a full brigade every time you encounter a minefield.
After doing this routine ten times or eight times, Pinggu Daxiong didn't have any troops left to fight.
At that time, perhaps the Tubal New Regiment will not need to wait for Pinggu Bear to run out of food and lose a large number of non-combat casualties. They will take the initiative to kill them. With the thousands of elite members of the New Regiment, they will be enough to kill Pinggu Bear.
"Sir, I, I, what should we do?" the adjutant asked cautiously.
"What to do? I know what to do!" Pinggu Daxiong was furious. "We have been led by the Tubal New Group. We have lost the initiative. If we continue to organize death squads to clear mines, we will lose a brigade every time. , how long do you think our team can handle it!"
The adjutant said nothing.
According to the current situation, there are not enough people to fill this hole.
Every time a full Imperial Army brigade is lost, they are living soldiers, human lives, not animals!
"Speak, what should we do now!" The adjutant said nothing, and Pinggu Big Bear roared at him.
"Sir, why don't we stop and wait for supplies." The adjutant hesitated.
"If you were the commander of the new regiment, would you find a way to block the supplies?" Pinggu Daxiong had already thought about this problem. If he were the commander of the new regiment, he would not let the supplies be delivered.
"But if we continue to pursue them now, we will only lose the imperial soldiers in vain." The adjutant said.
"Okay, let's not chase the new group." Speaking of supplies, Pinggu Big Bear suddenly had an idea.
"What do you mean by not chasing the new group?" The adjutant looked at him suspiciously.
"Right now, we continue to chase the new group, but we are being led by the new group. It is impossible for us to win against them!" Pinggu Daxiong said, "We changed direction and went to join our supply brigade. Originally, They need to walk for a week to deliver the supplies to us, and we take the initiative to meet them. As long as our marching speed remains the same as theirs, won't this time be shortened by half? We can get the supplies in three and a half days. .After obtaining supplies, the initiative returned to us."
"General, I'm afraid we can't keep our marching speed at the same speed as the transport brigade in three and a half days." After hearing this, the adjutant couldn't help but shake his head.
The troops were extremely tired now. Not to mention whether the new regiment would turn around and fight after seeing the troops stop pursuing.
Even if the new group doesn't come to bother.
The troops did not eat, were hungry and tired, and it was impossible to march at the same speed as the transport brigade.
Even if the troops walked for a day or two, large-scale non-combat attrition would occur.
It's a cold winter now!
The wind howled at night and the temperature dropped so sharply that it would freeze someone to death!
"You have to give it a try." Pinggu Big Bear certainly understood that even if the time to obtain supplies was shortened to three and a half days, it would be difficult to persevere in this cold winter without food and fire.
But it’s better than being led by the new group all the time now.
"Then give it a try." The adjutant nodded and did not raise any objections.
He quickly asked the Japanese soldiers to stop and rest, on the one hand to save their energy, and on the other hand to wait for the Imperial Alliance Army to come up.
It is foreseeable that once they turn around, a new group of Tuba Road will most likely bite them and entangle them.
At that time, the Imperial Army soldiers should be preserved as much as possible, and the Imperial Association Army should fight tooth and nail with the Tubal New Regiment.
When the Imperial Army soldiers and the Tubal New Regiment reached a critical moment, Pinggu Daxiong led the Imperial Army soldiers to attack in a thunderous attack to regain the New Regiment.
In this way, it was done, and supplies were obtained from the new group, which also turned the situation around.
