After landing, the Japanese naval special forces quickly rushed towards Tiger Leaping Cliff.
They were very close to Tiger Leaping Cliff and were traveling lightly, so they occupied Tiger Leaping Cliff around three o'clock in the night.
A total of two squadrons were deployed at various important locations along Tiger Leaping Cliff.
But Dragon Boat Festival is not a vegetarian, and when it arrived near Tiger Leaping Cliff, it smelled of danger.
And the sky is getting brighter, and the view is much wider.
One kilometer away, he used a telescope to detect the direction of Tiger Leaping Cliff. The silent mountain pass seemed to be waiting for them to arrive.
Pang Hu glanced at the silent Tiger Leaping Cliff and said: "Tuanzuo, it seems that the Japanese did not set up defenses here. And could the Japanese have expected that we would come to Tiger Leaping Cliff?"
Duanwu took out a map and pointed it out to Pang Hu: "The straight-line distance between Tiger Leaping Cliff and the Yangtze River is less than ten kilometers. The little devil is in a high-spirited state. If the devil's commander's brain is not rusty, he will definitely ambush here. . So what we see now may be just an illusion. The Japanese have already opened their pockets and waited for us at Tiger Leaping Cliff.
And did you notice that there were no sounds of birds or animals in the huge forest? Someone must have entered Tiger Leaping Cliff before and frightened them away.
So if I guessed correctly, the Japs had already made arrangements on Tiger Leaping Cliff, and just waiting for us to get into our pockets, they would lock us in. "
Pang Hu frowned and said: "Tuanzuo, what should we do? We can't waste time with the Japs here, right? Moreover, the physical strength of the soldiers is very high. If this continues, I'm afraid the Japs will consume us alive."
At this time, Duanwu also realized this. Continuous fighting had exhausted the soldiers physically and mentally. And if he hadn't been giving them hope, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to hold on at this time.
But what hope could he give them now? Should we take the risk and rush over Tiger Leaping Cliff, or should we look for other opportunities to escape?
"hold head high?"
Dragon Boat Festival suddenly had a flash of inspiration, as if he thought of something. This may be a way to survive. The Japanese sent troops from the water to Hutiao Cliff to intercept them, in order to intercept their retreat to the west. As for Xiangdong, I'm afraid the Japanese have other plans. But what about north? Crossing the Yangtze River to the other side of the river would provide relief, at least for the time being. It would be better if there were no enemy defenses on the other side of the river. Because after all, the task of the Japanese now is to attack, whether it is north of the Yangtze River or south of the Yangtze River, it is the same.
So Duanwu had a bold idea. While the Japanese were waiting for him at Tiger Leaping Cliff, he went to steal the Japanese's retreat. Because the Japanese must need a small boat to get ashore. Without a small boat, they cannot get ashore. So if we seize the little devil's boat, the little devil will have no choice but to swim in the Yangtze River.
Thinking of this, Duanwu and Pang Hu said: "Let the brothers work harder, work harder, let's go and take the little devil's escape route. Remember to ask the brothers to pay attention to what they are carrying and don't drop it. The injured brother has his wounds bandaged." "
"yes!"
Pang Hu said happily, because in such a desperate situation, what they hope most is to hear from the group leader that there is still a way and a place to go, or even to raid the enemy's lair.
Pang Hu went down to deliver the order, and each of the special forces members lying on the ground felt like they were stuck to the ground. None of them wanted to go anymore because they were so tired. I don’t know how much distance I’ve traveled since yesterday. And all the food he had with him was eaten.
At this time, many people's stomachs were growling with hunger. But what little food is left must be eaten by the wounded.
There is still a small amount of water in the kettle. Although many people are so thirsty that their throats are smoking, they are reluctant to take a sip because the wounded need water more than they do now.
Exhaustion made many soldiers no longer want to leave, but at this moment, Pang Hu brought them good news.
Although Tiger Leaping Cliff was blocked by the Japanese, they had a better place to go, which was the Yangtze River.
When the Yangtze River was mentioned, the soldiers seemed to gain strength again. Because they were very thirsty, and there was water in the Yangtze River.
So when they heard the news, everyone stood up again, packed their things, and prepared to leave.
But at this moment, a scout came back and reported: "Report to the regiment, the Japanese have caught up with us, and they are less than 500 meters away from us."
Duanwu nodded and ordered again: "Everyone must check everything. After Pang Hu is cut off, any traces found will be erased. We can't let the devils discover our whereabouts anymore, otherwise the devils only need a telegram. We The only escape route was cut off.”
"yes!"
Everyone split up and went around the east side of Tiger Leaping Cliff instead of taking Tiger Leaping Cliff.
Tiger Leaping Cliff controls the gateway to the west, and most of the east side is filled with forests.
Although the Japanese sent scouts here, there were only a few of them.
Of course, this is not because they have ignored it, because they know that there are their river defense troops on the other side of the river. Therefore, if Chinese soldiers are lucky enough to cross the river, they will become a living target for the river defense troops.
So one of them ignored it, and the other took the opportunity to kill the sentry and quietly bypassed Tiger Leaping Cliff.
At the same time, Takeshita Junzheng was coming here with his special forces and two infantry squadrons.
They rushed out of the forest and headed straight for Tiger Leaping Cliff, but what surprised them was that there was no gunfire from the direction of Tiger Leaping Cliff.
Ban Heng's guard captain asked strangely: "Sir, why are there no gunshots in the direction of Tiger Leaping Cliff? Could it be that the navy's special team hasn't arrived yet?"
Takeshita Toshidao: "This shouldn't be the case. They should have arrived two hours earlier than us."
"Your Excellency, then I will take people to investigate."
"Hello?"
After the guard captain finished speaking, he led the people away. Takeshita Shun didn't stop him even if he wanted to. However, he thought it was okay. Tiger Leaping Cliff was very strange and he asked the guard captain to investigate it. There were only advantages and no disadvantages.
It's just that Jun Takeshita ignored one thing, that is, the Navy Special Forces received the news that they were intercepting the Chinese special forces at Tiger Leaping Cliff. One of their characteristics was that they wore the clothes of the Imperial Army. There were not many people, maybe twenty to thirty people.
As for Ban Heng's guard captain, he just happened to take more than 20 people to investigate.
The officers of the Japanese Navy Special Forces became very excited when they saw the captain of the guard and others running towards them from the road through their binoculars. Because they waited at Tiger Leaping Cliff for two hours in the cold early morning, and finally waited for the enemies of the empire.
He continued: "Beat me hard for a while, don't let anyone go. And don't care what they say. Because Mr. Matsui has told me, these enemies are cunning and cunning, and they can speak Japanese. So you must not be beaten. They were lied to."
"Hi!"
A Japanese adjutant went down to deliver the order. However, at this moment, he heard the guard captain standing on the road and shouting loudly in Japanese: "Is there anyone in the mountains? Come out and speak."
The officers of the Navy's special team became more and more proud: "Did you see it? These Chinese people are really cunning and cunning. They were afraid of an ambush on the mountain, so they even shouted to test me. Baga, do they think I, Captain Xinnan Palace, am a fool?.... ..”
