"Report to the leader, the Japanese traitors have turned around, and they are no longer stepping on the minefields." The scout came and reported.
"Where did they go?" Li Yunlong asked.
"The direction of Taiyuan." The scout replied.
"Obviously, the little devils want to join their team transporting supplies." Li Yunlong said, "In this way, they can shorten the time to obtain supplies."
The brigade commander looked at Li Yunlong: "Li Yunlong, do you want to chase me?"
"You have the final say, Brigadier." Li Yunlong said calmly.
Now that the roads are blocked by heavy snow, Pinggu Big Bear has no food, and even warming himself by the fire has become a luxury.
His troops were hungry, thirsty, and cold.
It would be good to be able to carry it in the ice and snow for three days.
It's a dream to march in the freezing cold!
"I think we can just lead our troops to follow them without getting too close." The brigade commander said, "The Japanese and traitors still have the strength to fight. We cannot give them a chance to fight. But any accident may happen on the battlefield. We Follow the Japanese and traitors to prevent them from using extreme methods to obtain supplies!"
Extreme ways to obtain supplies have been used since ancient times!
In front of me, Pinggu Daxiong's troops are out of food, and the Japanese soldiers' eyes are green with hunger. Who can guarantee that the Imperial Alliance Army will not become their military rations!
In this way, the Japanese soldiers received food reinforcements and their vitality was restored, which the new regiment would never allow.
"Just follow what the brigade commander said." Li Yunlong nodded.
Just like that, the new group also changed direction and followed.
…
As Li Yunlong expected, due to the serious lack of food and grass, the Japanese soldiers quickly ate their meal of dry food.
Without food, the rapidly depleted physical strength of the Japanese soldiers could not be replenished, and marching in the snow also required a lot of energy support.
Even if the Japanese soldiers were in good health, they couldn't bear it after barely marching in the snow for a day.
A large number of Japanese soldiers were trapped in the snow, unable to walk.
The Japanese soldiers can't hold it anymore, let alone the Imperial Alliance Army.
They had eaten less solid food than the Japanese soldiers, and their physical condition was not as good as that of the Japanese soldiers. The Imperial Association Army was seriously lagging behind.
"General, we can't go on like this. In just one day, we have fallen into a desperate situation and can't move anymore." The adjutant leaned in front of Pinggu Big Bear, and the weak Pinggu Big Bear was warming up together on the fire. There was a pot on the fire, and the pot was full of melted snow. water.
The food and grass have been burned, and the fuel is gone. How to get the fuel for the fire? This is not wood chopped halfway.
The war had burned down all the forests, leaving little wood in the wild.
This is the fuel "squeezed" out of the troops, such as the clothes they wear, which are good heating materials.
Of course, the Japanese soldiers would not be able to steal the fuel, they could only steal it from the unlucky Imperial Army.
As for whether the soldiers of the Imperial Association Army who had no clothes to wear froze to death or how they died, it was irrelevant.
"What do you think?" Pinggu Daxiong suppressed the hunger in his belly and looked at the adjutant.
"If we don't hurry up and get supplies, once the Imperial Army soldiers fall in the snow, it will be difficult to stand up again." The adjutant turned his eyes away from the Imperial Alliance Army and did not say any more.
The adjutant did not finish his words, but how could Pinggu Daxiong not know what the adjutant meant.
That is the supplies for the troops, and the Imperial Alliance Army that follows.
Pinggu Daxiong's heart was full of resistance, which was not to say that he couldn't bear to use the Imperial Alliance Army as military rations.
But he has never eaten such military rations.
If he does this, can the soldiers below carry it out?
"Wait a little longer." Pinggu Daxiong wrapped his quilt tightly.
People only behave in such extreme ways when they are extremely hungry.
Pinggu Daxiong is not that hungry yet, so he cannot make such a determination.
"Then just wait." The adjutant said nothing more.
But new changes are coming quietly.
Li Yunlong led the New Regiment to follow behind Pinggu Daxiong. Along the way, stragglers from the Imperial Association Army continued to become prisoners of the New Regiment.
Li Yunlong was generous and distributed food to these Imperial Alliance soldiers.
Seeing the soldiers of the Imperial Association Army devouring food, Li Yunlong said to the brigade commander: "Brigadier Commander, since there are soldiers of the Imperial Association Army who continue to fall behind, more and more people will die from freezing. I am afraid that Pinggu Big Bear will soon take extreme measures." How to obtain military rations."
"Li Yunlong, what do you think?" the brigade commander asked.
Not far away from him, he had seen hundreds of corpses of the Imperial Alliance Army.
All of these corpses were naked and without any clothing.
Obviously, the Japanese soldiers took away all their clothes in order to keep warm.
The Japanese soldiers no longer care about the life and death of the Imperial Alliance Army, so it is not far away from their extreme methods of obtaining food.
"Our food cannot be wasted." Li Yunlong pointed at the prisoners of the Imperial Alliance Army who had eaten the food.
"What do you mean, let these prisoners catch up and shake their morale within the Imperial Alliance Army?" The brigade commander was so wise, he immediately understood what Li Yunlong was thinking.
The Japanese soldiers didn't care about the life or death of the Imperial Alliance Army. The morale of the Imperial Alliance Army must have been extremely low.
At this time, if the soldiers of the Imperial Association Army who had eaten the food were allowed to go back and some undercover agents from the Eighth Route Army were brought in, the Imperial Association Army would most likely be incited.
Once the Imperial Alliance Army is incited, the new regiment will have the opportunity to reap the benefits.
"We must seize the time." Li Yunlong looked at the brigade commander, "Once the Japanese soldiers obtain military rations in extreme ways, replenish energy, and restore their combat effectiveness, it will be difficult to deal with."
"Then let's do it and pick some smarter soldiers to sneak in." The brigade commander nodded.
Li Yunlong asked Zhang Dabiao to quickly select clever Eighth Route soldiers to act as undercover agents, and asked them all to put on the uniforms of the Imperial Association Army, and mixed them with the prisoners of the Imperial Association Army.
The hunter feeds the dog food and it never fills it!
For these prisoners of the Imperial Alliance Army who were left behind, the food provided to them by the new regiment only ensured that they would not starve to death.
"You all listen up, if you want to eat more, you have to do what our new regiment says!" Zhang Dabiao said solemnly to these prisoners of the Imperial Alliance Army.
"Sir of the Eighth Route Army, just say whatever you ask us to do, and we will do it!" All the prisoners of war of the Imperial Association Army were extremely cooperative.
They fell behind and were about to starve to death. The Eighth Route Army New Regiment provided them with food and brought them back from the brink of death.
They tasted the food and became more hungry for it.
"You should seize the time to catch up with your team and tell your commanders that the Japanese soldiers no longer care about the life or death of their Imperial Association Army. They will most likely use their Imperial Army Army as military rations. Those who want to find a way out can choose Fall behind secretly, and then surrender to our new regiment, who will provide food." Zhang Dabiao said.
"Okay, okay." The prisoners of war of the Imperial Association Army nodded one after another.
"Go ahead and hurry up."
"yes."
The prisoners of war of the Imperial Association Army immediately chased after him.
"Battal Commander, aren't you careful about these Japanese devils eating our food and doing nothing?" Someone approached Zhang Dabiao and said.
"No, this person wandered on the edge of death once, and he is determined to cherish life more than ever." Zhang Dabiao said, "These two Japs are not stupid either. They treat the Japs without any good fruits and will not help them." We are doing things, but we won’t get anything good when we come back. What’s more, there are some of our own people involved, and at critical moments, they will act on the camera.”
…
On the Imperial Alliance Army's side, as Li Yunlong expected, hundreds of people froze to death after their clothes were stripped off by the Japanese soldiers. The morale of the Imperial Alliance Army fluctuated greatly:
"Damn it, these hundreds of people froze to death for nothing, the devils are nothing!"
"Yes, on the surface it is a drawing of lots. Those hundreds of people are unlucky and unlucky. But when the lot is drawn next time, who can guarantee that this bad luck will not happen to them."
"That's right, it's freezing cold today. If the Japanese soldiers want to keep warm by the fire, they have to keep needing clothes. Do we deserve what we deserve!"
"There is nothing we can do. If we don't cooperate, our family will die."
"Yes, if we don't obey the orders of the Japanese, they will kill our family members."
"According to me, we'd better run away. I don't care about the life and death of my family."
"It's freezing cold, where can you run?"
"It's just that it's freezing cold, there's no food to eat, and it's a death to run."
"If you don't run away, you'll die if you stay and draw lots."
"Although drawing lots means death, at least it won't affect your family."
"That's bullshit family. I don't trust that mother-in-law at home anyway. I'll probably marry another one in the future."
…
Just as the Imperial Alliance Army members were talking a lot, they saw some stragglers of the Imperial Alliance Army soldiers returning to their ranks.
"What's going on? There are actually stragglers running back. Where did they get their strength?"
"It seems like their faces have regained some color. Did they eat something?"
"Damn it, these guys must have found food. Let's go and search it quickly."
…
The Imperial Army soldiers who had fallen behind were quickly surrounded by people, and everyone quickly searched for them. Naturally, not even a hair was left behind.
"Why are you back? It looks like you are out getting food?" the officers of the Royal Association Army asked the stragglers.
"We were indeed eating, but that was when we met the Eight Route New Group." The straggler replied.
"Did you meet the Eighth Route Army's new regiment?" The officers of the Imperial Association were stunned. "They didn't kill you, but they also provided you with food?"
"Yes, the New Eighth Route Army Regiment said that they treat prisoners preferentially. As long as they surrender, they will have food to eat." The stragglers replied.
"Damn it, you bastards are shaking the morale of the army and stripping off your clothes to warm yourself up!" an officer of the Imperial Alliance Army roared angrily.
The Eighth Route Army soldiers mixed in quickly shouted: "Sir, the Eighth Route Army said that this is a way for us to survive. If you kill us all, the Eighth Route Army will not treat the prisoners preferentially, and you will not have food. Eat." Gu Tan
"Sir, you have all seen it. This devil has started to take off the clothes of the brothers. It is so cold today and we need clothes all the time. Can any of you guarantee that the next draw will not fall on you?"
"If you continue to work for the Japs, I guess it will only take a drizzle to remove your clothes. If the Japs soldiers continue to be hungry, they will most likely turn into cannibalistic wealth wolves. At that time, did you all watch the Japs capture all the brothers and have them barbecued!" "
"Siring officers, the Japs are in dire straits. We still have one last way to survive. You should think twice."
…
As soon as the Eighth Route Army soldiers started shouting, the officers of the Imperial Association Army fell silent one after another.
No one will clamor to strip off the clothes of these stragglers.
With supplies and fuel cut off, the Japanese soldiers had selected hundreds of unlucky people, stripped them of their clothes, and froze them to death in the wild.
Next, no one will doubt that such a tragedy will definitely happen again.
As for the statement that the Japanese soldiers wanted to eat people, no one questioned it.
This man is crazy with hunger, but he is capable of doing any extreme things!
Just like the carnivorous fish raised in the pond, when food is extremely scarce, they will hunt each other!
At this juncture, someone from the Japanese side came, spoke a few serious words in Japanese to the translator, and then left.
"What, what did the imperial army say?" A group of people quickly asked the translator.
The translator looked pale: "The imperial army said that there are not enough warm clothes. Let us send 500 more clothes within half an hour."
As soon as the translator finished speaking, an officer from the Royal Association Army immediately cursed: "Damn it, I sent hundreds of clothes before and they were burned in an hour. If hundreds of clothes have to be burned in an hour, Then by the end of the day, wouldn’t we have thousands of people freezing to death?”
"Damn it, this devil is so inhumane."
"Otherwise, we can just vote for a new group and stop serving."
"Yes, if you join a new regiment, there is still a way to survive. If you continue to work for the Japanese soldiers, everyone will be ruined."
"But we still have family members who are in the hands of the devil."
"Even if we die, there is no guarantee that the Japanese will give them preferential treatment."
…
"Are you sure you will join a new regiment and have food to eat?" Some officers were already asking the prisoners of war of the Imperial Association Army who had fallen behind and caught up.
"It's absolutely true." The prisoners of war of the Imperial Alliance Army nodded.
"Damn it, I don't want to stay here and die, so I will take my brothers to join a new group."
"It's better to give your brothers to the New Regiment than to the Japanese."
"If we continue to select another five hundred people according to the Japs' instructions, I'm afraid we will be shot in the dark."
…
Some officers of the Imperial Association Army immediately gathered their own soldiers and led their troops to join a new regiment.
But those officers of the Imperial Association Army who cared about their families and were unwilling to join the new regiment began to obstruct:
"Stop, you people can't leave!"
"If you leave, the imperial army will hold us accountable. What will we do?"
"Yes, you can't leave, you must stay."
…
The officers of the Royal Association Army who were about to leave cursed:
"If you want to stay and seek death, then you should hurry up and pick five hundred unlucky people. Don't delay our survival."
"That is, if you want to lead your men to death, don't drag us along with you."
"Whoever dares to tell the devil to the Japanese will be killed by me!"
"If you want to stay and die, that's your own choice, get out of here!"
…
The blocking Imperial Army officers loaded their guns: "No one is allowed to leave!"
"If anyone leaves, it will harm us."
"We still have family members in the hands of the imperial army, can you really bear to have your family members slaughtered?"
"If anyone dares to leave, don't blame me for not recognizing the gun in my hand!"
…
Both sides raised their guns, and the situation quickly became tense.
One spark can cause a fire!
boom!
Seeing this situation, some Eighth Route Army soldiers pretended to discharge their guns.
This incident caused the situation to quickly get out of control.
The Imperial Army soldiers who wanted to leave and those who wanted to stay quickly started fighting.
Da da da!
Da da da!
Da da da!
…
The machine gunners on both sides quickly fired at each other, and a large number of Imperial Army soldiers fell into a pool of blood.
boom!
boom!
boom!
…
Hand grenades and mortar shells were immediately intertwined.
Once the war started, it was immediately out of control.
"Brothers, fight and retreat while we go to throw in a new group."
"Brothers, pounce on them, don't let them throw a new ball!"
…
Those who wanted to leave and those who wanted to stay, both sides fought hard.
One desperately wants to leave, and the other desperately wants to stay.
Originally, everyone was powerless.
But now, everyone seems to have been given a shot of chicken blood. You come and go, fighting fiercely.
The Imperial Alliance Army quickly started fighting. Pinggu Daxiong heard the movement, and the adjutant immediately said: "General, it's bad, this must be the Imperial Alliance Army's screening..."
The adjutant thought that it was the screening time that caused internal strife in the Imperial Association Army. He had not yet thought that this was a trick of the new group.
Before the adjutant finished speaking, Pinggu Daxiong interrupted: "Don't be nervous, let them fight for a while, we will go there later."
"General, what do you mean..." The adjutant paused in thought.
When the Imperial Alliance Army fights, many people will surely fall.
There are many people who have fallen down, so why don’t we have these warm cotton clothes?
The Emperor's soldiers were so hungry that they couldn't stand it any longer. Aren't they already supplied military rations?
I have to say that Pinggu Daxiong and his adjutant’s idea is really weird.
"Captain, the Imperial Association Army is having internal strife, and they are starting to fight among themselves." Zhang Dabiao heard the commotion and immediately said to Li Yunlong: "Captain, should we get closer right away?"
"We must move closer." Li Yunlong said, gearing up, "Move the troops closer immediately, but don't go into battle yet. Just sit back and watch the Imperial Alliance troops fight each other, and pay close attention to the movements of the Japanese soldiers."
"Yes, leader." Zhang Dabiao responded.
The new group quickly moved closer.
Li Yunlong held a telescope and observed the battlefield.
There were corpses everywhere on the battlefield.
However, due to lack of physical strength on both sides, the fighting quickly became slow.
Those who wanted to retreat did not have enough strength to do so.
Those who wanted to pounce didn't have the strength to pounce.
Both sides lie on the ground, you come and I release the gun.
"Li Yunlong, look, the Japanese soldiers are coming up." The brigade commander also looked at the battlefield through the binoculars. Pinggu Daxiong had already sent the Japanese soldiers to mediate.
"We can't let the Japanese soldiers get closer." Li Yunlong said, "Zhang Dabiao, fire for me immediately and push the Japanese soldiers back!"
"Yes, commander." Zhang Dabiao responded and immediately passed the order to Li Yunlong: "Artillery, fire immediately to push back the Japanese soldiers."
boom!
boom!
boom!
…
The artillery of the new regiment roared immediately, and the shells roared towards the heads of the Japanese soldiers.
