"Brigade commander," a soldier of the Eighth Route Army shouted loudly and ran up quickly.Li Guotao hurriedly stopped, and the soldier of the Eighth Route Army ran to Li Guotao, panting and said: "Report to the brigade commander, the little devil of the Watanabe Brigade has suddenly accelerated his speed and has caught up, and he is currently less than twenty miles away from our army." ”"Hmph" Li Guotao snorted coldly and said, "These little devils have finally caught up."
Map" next to a soldier of the Eighth Route Army hurriedly took out the map, pointed to the map and said, "Brigade commander, we are in this position now." ”Li Guotao nodded slightly, glanced at the map carefully and said: "What is here?"
"Report to the brigade commander, this is a small river, which the locals call the North River, which belongs to the tributaries of the Yongding River, extending from the Yongding River to the west. ”The Eighth Route Army soldier hurriedly replied."
Very good" Li Guotao nodded with satisfaction and said: "This is it, inform the troops to speed up, rush to the Beihe River as soon as possible, stop going north after crossing the river, and build fortifications along the river bank." ”"Yes," the Eighth Route Army soldier replied respectfully, turned around and ran to deliver the order.Li Guotao thought for a while, turned to Kou Erbao next to him and said, "If I remember correctly, the special combat team should stay behind and break the back" "Well" Kou Erbao nodded and said, "The special combat team has been following behind the main force and undertaking the task of breaking off." ”"Very good" Li Guotao nodded with satisfaction and said: "You send someone to inform the special combat team, let them teach the little devils a lesson, it is best to provoke the little devils and let them catch up quickly." ”"Yes" Kou Erbao responded respectfully, and hurriedly found someone to convey the order.Watanabe Shaosa was pursuing the Eighth Route Army with his little devils, when suddenly a burst of gunfire came from the northwest, and Watanabe Shaosa hurriedly ordered the troops to stop advancing.The gunfire stopped again after less than half a minute, Watanabe Shaosa frowned slightly, and said with a serious face: "Send someone to check on what happened immediately." ”A little devil next to "Hai" responded respectfully, and hurriedly ran to inquire about the news.About three minutes later, in the direction where the gunshots came, several explosions suddenly sounded, and Watanabe Shaoza's brows furrowed even deeper, but he didn't know what was happening in front of him, and Watanabe Shaosa didn't dare to act rashly.After a few more minutes, the little devil who was in charge of finding out the news finally came back, and said to Watanabe Shaosa out of breath: "Report to Your Excellency Shaozo, a sharp knife group of the imperial army was ambushed by the Shina people, and all ten imperial warriors were shattered.In addition, these abominable Shina people also cut off the heads of the warriors and hung them on the trees.Later, some soldiers of the imperial army rushed to check, and they were accidentally killed by the mine set up by the people of China, killing three people and injuring several people. ”"Yagaya Road, these damn dirt eight roads, my conscience is greatly broken" Hearing this, Watanabe Shaozo didn't wait to speak, and several little devils next to him scolded one after another."
Yaga Yalu" Watanabe Shaozo was also angry, gritted his teeth and scolded angrily."
Your Excellency Shaozuo, this is another provocation to our Imperial Japanese Army, and if you have a serious provocation, please order Your Excellency Shaozuo to immediately lead people to chase after you and kill all these hateful Tubalu."
A devil officer shouted angrily.Watanabe Shaozo frowned, waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, gentlemen, I don't think this matter is that simple, could it be that the people of China are just doing this to provoke the imperial army, but it is not beneficial for them." ”"Your Excellency Shaozo, I think that the purpose of this move is to deliberately scare the imperial army, so that we do not dare to continue the pursuit, so that they will have a chance to get rid of the imperial army.Hmph, these people are simply stupid, and it is simply stupid to think that this can frighten our heroic Imperial Japanese Army. ”A devil lieutenant next to him said loudly with a red face."
Yo Xi, your analysis also makes some sense."
Watanabe Shaosa nodded and said, "Immediately order all troops to speed up their advance and continue to pursue the Eighth Route Army, and we must not let these hateful Eight Route Army escape." ”A little devil next to "Hai" responded respectfully, and hurriedly ran to convey the order.The corners of Watanabe Shaozo's mouth couldn't help but show a sneer, although Watanabe Shaozo felt that this might be a conspiracy of the Eighth Route Army, but Watanabe Shaozo was not very worried, because it was only a few dozen miles away from Fangshan here, because Fangshan County was close to Beiping, so the Japanese army was heavily garrisoned here, even if it was attacked by the Eighth Route Army, Watanabe Shaozo could also ask the defenders of Fangshan County for help, judging from the marching speed of the Japanese army, the defenders of Fangshan could rush to support in a few hours at most.And the main force of the wing led by Nishimura Yuto is only a hundred miles away from here, if the Eighth Route Army really has the courage to besiege the Watanabe Brigade, Watanabe Shaozo can be said to be unwanted, because after all, Watanabe Shaozo has a full brigade of troops in his hands, Watanabe Shaozo is confident that he can definitely hold on until the reinforcements arrive, as long as the reinforcements arrive, the battlefield situation will be completely reversed, if you can take the opportunity to annihilate the main force of the Eighth Route Army, it will naturally be a great achievement, as a soldier, Watanabe Shaozo has long coveted this credit, Naturally, I will not give up this opportunity easily.On the north bank of the North River, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army were busy building fortifications, and Li Guotao also personally went into battle to guide the soldiers to build positions. ”"Order the peripheral blocking troops, properly block the little devils, slow down the speed of the devils, and buy time for the main force as much as possible.But don't fight hard with the little devils, to preserve your strength," Li Guotao said with a serious face."
Yes," the Eighth Route Army soldier replied respectfully, turned around and ran to deliver the order.Li Guotao turned to the busy soldiers and shouted: "Brothers, speed up, the little devils are about to arrive, and give me a hard lesson in a while, let them know that they know how powerful we are" "Yes" The soldiers responded in unison, and they worked harder one by one.Li Guotao turned around and glanced at the surrounding environment, beckoned a company commander next to him, pointed to a small high ground on the bank of the river and said, "Where to equip one more heavy machine gun, and in that corner over there, arrange a light machine gun."
And the trenches over there have to be dug a little deeper, which is absolutely not possible. ”"Yes" The company commander responded respectfully, and ordered someone to arrange it according to Li Guotao's instructions.aa2705221:
