Sure enough, at ten o'clock in the morning, the sky was overcast, and soon the raindrops the size of beans fell flutteringly, and it was getting heavier and heavier.Although the rain was getting heavier and heavier, it could not stop the enthusiasm of the soldiers at all, and the various positions north of the Shahekou were still busy, and the soldiers were full of enthusiasm and were busy repairing the fortifications one by one.Since this spring rain can't stop the Eighth Route Army, it naturally can't stop the footsteps of the little devils.Wearing a raincoat and accompanied by several devil officers, Nishimura stood on the side of the road, looking like a few wooden stakes from a distance."
Baga, this damn ghost weather is also against the imperial army, it's really hateful."
Yuto Nishimura, who was in an irritable mood, couldn't help but curse angrily."
Your Excellency, the rain is getting heavier and heavier, and there is no road to walk at the mouth of the Shahe River in front of here, those country roads were already rugged south, but now it is raining again, and it is even more muddy," a devil officer couldn't help but speak."
Baga" didn't wait for the devil officer to finish speaking, Nishimura Yongren couldn't help but scold angrily, unceremoniously planned his words, and said loudly with an angry face: "What do you mean Now the imperial army is only a dozen miles away from the mouth of the Shahekou, according to the news obtained before, those hateful Eighth Route Army did not withdraw from the mouth of the Shahekou, but began to build fortifications on the spot, it seems that they are planning to have a decisive battle with the imperial army, and this is a good opportunity to completely annihilate this Eighth Route Army."
So don't say it's just a little rain, even if it's a knife, we must rush to the mouth of the Shahe River as soon as possible, you understand" "Hai Yi understands his humble duties, and he wants His Excellency Dazuo to forgive his sins" The devil officer was so frightened that a fierce spirit hurriedly bowed his head and said."
Hmph" Nishimura Yuto snorted coldly, turned his head directly, no longer paid attention to the little devil, glanced at the Japanese soldiers who kept passing by on the road, frowned slightly, and said with a dissatisfied face: "The current marching speed is too slow, pass the order, speed up, before twelve o'clock at noon, all troops must complete the encirclement of Shahekou."
This time, we must not let these cunning Shina people escape" The adjutant of "Hai" replied respectfully, and seeing that Nishimura was angry, he didn't dare to say anything at all, so he hurriedly turned around and went to convey the order.Under the order of Nishimura Yuto, the little devils could only bite the bullet and continue to rush in the direction of the mouth of the Shahe River in the rain.After a long journey, the little devil finally managed to reach the periphery of the Shahe Estuary within the specified time of the Nishimura Warrior.At this time, the little devils were happy to find that the Eighth Route Army was still at the mouth of the Shahe River and did not flee from the wind, and for these little devils, all the efforts were finally rewarded.A little devil hurriedly ran to the Nishimura Warrior and said with a respectful face: "Report to Your Excellency Dazuo, according to investigation, the main force of the Eighth Route Army is now at the mouth of the Shahe, and they have built a large number of fortifications north of the mouth of the Shahe River in an attempt to block the attack of the imperial army. ”"Yo Xi" A flash of excitement flashed in Nishimura's eyes, and then he ordered with a serious face: "Immediately order Watanabe Shaosa, send two squadrons of troops to cooperate with the cavalry squadron, block all the retreat routes on the east, west, and south sides of the Shahe Estuary, and surround this group of earth eight road regiments."
Tell Watanabe Shaosa that if the Shina army escapes unnoticedly this time, he will be ready to apologize for his crimes" The little devil of "Hai" responded respectfully, and hurriedly turned around and ran to convey the order.At this time, a devil officer stepped forward and said cautiously: "Your Excellency, the imperial army is already a little tired after a long journey.And this damn rain, it seems that there is no intention to stop for the time being, I think that the imperial army should take a temporary rest, let the warriors have lunch, recover their strength, and then launch an attack It is not too late Anyway, at this time, these hateful earth eight roads have fallen into the encirclement of the imperial army, and there is nowhere to escape, so they are not in a hurry at this time. ”"Yo Xi" Nishimura Yuto nodded and said: "What you said has some truth, and another point is that although we rushed to the mouth of the Shahe River, the artillery unit and the baggage unit were left behind, and after hearing that the artillery unit arrived, it was not too late to build an artillery position and launch an attack."
Immediately send an order to go down, bury the pot and make food, so that our warriors can have a good meal and recuperate their spirits, and then come and clean up these hateful dirt roads. ”"Your Excellency Hai Dazuo is wise."
The devil officer responded respectfully, and quickly turned around and ran to deliver the order.In Shahekou Village, in the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, Li Guotao stood at the door, looked at the water droplets falling like a curtain under the eaves, and said with a smile: "God really helps me, looking at the current weather, it is estimated that it will rain for two or three hours." ”"How do you know how long this rain will last, do you really think you are Zhuge Liang, you can pinch and calculate, know astronomy, know geography" Changde joked with a smile."
I don't have that ability."
Li Guotao shook his head and said, "It's just by feeling and experience." ”The two were talking, a soldier of the Eighth Route Army wearing a coat quickly ran in, and as soon as he entered the house, he respectfully greeted Li Guotao and Changde, and the two of them saluted and said loudly: "Report to the brigade commander, political commissar, the news has just come from the forward position, the little devil has rushed to the periphery of our army's position, and sent a small group of devils to detour to the east and west sides of our army on the other side of the river, it should be to cut off all the retreats of our army, but the devil has stopped, and began to bury the pot to cook, and should not launch an attack for the time being." ”"Well, I know that you have worked hard, you go and notify the front-line scouts, let them closely monitor the every move of the little devils around them, and report to my headquarters as soon as there is a situation."
Li Guotao commanded with a serious face."
Yes," the Eighth Route Army soldier replied respectfully, and hurriedly ran out.Li Guotao turned around and walked to the table, reached out and picked up the phone, and said with a serious face after connecting it: "Hey Zhao Zhu, I am Li Guotao, the little devil has arrived, and immediately ordered all troops to prepare for battle" "Yes" Zhao Zhu on the other end of the phone responded respectfully.Li Guotao smiled, put down the phone, turned to Chang De and said with a smile: "Since the little devils are eating now, then let's hurry up and eat, eat and drink enough, so that we have the strength to kill the devils" "Haha" Chang De said with a smile: "In yesterday's battle, we captured a lot of canned beef, it seems that there is still a little left, and today at noon is enough for everyone to drink a hot broth, I can't help but drool when I think about it" "Look at your little breath" Li Guotao shook his head and said angrily.aa2705221:
