With the order of the scar-faced regimental commander, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army on the position immediately withdrew from the position in alternate cover.When the attacking little devil saw that our army began to retreat, he thought that the Eighth Route Army had been defeated, and immediately shouted excitedly, rushed up with bayonets, and rushed directly to our army's position.Harada Osa stood on a hillside, holding a telescope and saw that the Japanese army had finally broken through the defense line of the Eighth Route Army, and immediately shouted excitedly, "Yo Xi Da Di informed the troops to continue the pursuit, and they must not let go of this group of dirt Eighth Routes" A devil officer next to "Hai" responded respectfully, and quickly turned around and ran to convey the order.Although the little devils desperately pursued, the Eighth Route Army, which was ordered to retreat, obviously did not want to entangle too much with these little devils, and soon took advantage of their familiarity with the local terrain and disappeared into the vast mountains, and the little devils could only look at the mountains and sigh."
Nani let those hateful dirt roads escape," Harada asked with an angry expression."
Hai" A devil officer standing beside Harada replied helplessly."
Baga a bunch of waste" Harada Dazuo couldn't help but scold angrily, although he was a little angry, but he didn't take this matter to heart, waved his hand and said: "That's it, this time it also made those hateful Tubalu see the power of the imperial army, I think they don't dare to continue to obstruct the imperial army, so let's let them live for the time being, wait until the imperial army has eliminated the main force of the Eighth Route Army in northern Jin, and then it's not too late to turn back and deal with them." ”"Your Excellency Hai Dazuo is wise."
The little devil officer couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said respectfully."
Immediately order all troops to continue to advance along the Zhengtai Railway in the direction of Yangquan, and if they encounter obstruction by the Eighth Route Army along the way, they will be annihilated on the spot immediately."
Harada Osa looked at the vast mountains in the distance and ordered with a serious face.The devil officer replied respectfully, turned around and ran to deliver the order.Under the order of Harada Daisa, the 15th Infantry Wing of the Japanese Army immediately set off to continue advancing along the Shota Railway in the direction of Yangquan.About an hour later, the 15th Wing rushed to the vicinity of the Hulu Valley, and a devil officer reported to Harada Daisa with a serious face: "Your Excellency Dazuo, this place is called Hulu Valley, and it is named because its terrain is very similar to a gourd.The terrain here is dangerous, and it is a good place for ambushes, and those hateful Tubalu will take advantage of this dangerous terrain to fight ambush warfare, so they think that the imperial army has to defend against it. ”"Hmm" Harada Osa nodded noncommittally, and then said with a serious face: "The terrain here is indeed dangerous, those cunning dirt roads, if you still want to stop the imperial army, you will definitely not give up the terrain of this number." ”"Your Excellency Hai Dazuo is wise."
The devil officer said with a respectful face.Harada Osa frowned slightly, this old devil didn't say it, he just came here, and he felt that there was a trace of danger leaking here, at this time, with years of experience, he automatically developed an intuition, although Harada Osa can't be sure what will happen here, but one thing is certain, that is, something will definitely happen."
Your Excellency Osa, what should the imperial army do next?"
the devil officer hurriedly asked when he saw that Harada Osaku was silent.Harada Osa frowned, thought about it, and then beckoned to the little devil next to him and said: "Map" "Hay" The little devil responded respectfully, and quickly took out a map and unfolded it in front of Harada Osa.Harada Osa looked at the map and said with a serious face: "The terrain here in Yoxi is indeed very much like a gourd.If there is really an ambush of the Eighth Route Army here, the imperial army enters the valley from the gourd mouth, and the Eighth Route Army will inevitably launch an attack at the waist of the gourd, because the valley here is narrow, as long as the gourd waist is cut off, the imperial army will be divided into two parts, and then the Eighth Route will cut off the back road of the imperial army, and then the surrounding imperial army can be broken individually. ”"Your Excellency Hai Dazuo is wise."
A devil officer replied respectfully."
Is there any Eighth Route Army activity found in the vicinity?"
asked Harada Daisa, frowning."
At present, only two guerrillas have been found operating in the vicinity, and these two guerrillas have only 180 people, and they pose no threat to the imperial army at all."
A devil officer next to him replied with a respectful face."
The more it seems safe, the more careful we should be.These two guerrillas of the Tubalu may just be scouts of their main force, and the imperial army has to defend against them. ”Harada Daisa said with a serious face on his face."
How can the Imperial Army pass through this valley safely, according to His Excellency Hayna, according to His Excellency Daisa," the devil officer asked with a respectful expression.Harada Osa looked at the map, then raised the telescope and looked at the mountain peaks in the distance, his eyes couldn't help but shoot a fine light, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he stretched out his hand and pointed to a high mountain in the distance and said, "Have you seen that mountain?"
"Hai's mountain is the commanding height of the nearby area, and standing there you should be able to observe all the positions of the entire gourd valley." ”A devil officer next to him hurriedly replied."
Yo West" Harada Osa nodded with satisfaction and said: "That mountain is not only the commanding height of the nearby area, but also his location is also very favorable, just in the position of the gourd waist, as long as we can occupy this mountain peak and firmly grasp it in the hands of the imperial army, we can prevent the earth eight roads from attacking the gourd waist, cutting off the imperial army's waist, and breaking each one."
In this way, even if there is really an ambush of the Eighth Route Army here, the Imperial Army can control the entire battle situation and completely destroy the tricks of those hateful Eighth Route Army. ”"Your Excellency Hai Dazuo is wise."
Several devil officers around him said with a look of respect."
Yo Xi" Harada Dazuo nodded proudly, then his face changed, and he ordered loudly with a serious face: "Immediately order the first brigade, as the vanguard of the wing, to enter the gourd valley, carefully search the nearby mountains, confirm whether there are ambushes of the Eighth Route Army in the vicinity, and immediately capture the mountain peak and occupy the commanding heights." ”A devil officer next to "Hai" responded respectfully, then turned around and ran to deliver the order.With Harada Daisa's order, hundreds of little devils immediately entered the gourd valley cautiously with bayonets.This little devil is also afraid of being ambushed, so he is very cautious, carefully searching along the way, and slowly moving forward.aa2705221:
