Kazuo Shibata had been standing there for a full minute, his eyes almost popping out.Five meters in front of him there was a fork in the road, and one of the ways leading to it was a rough cross, made of two thicker pieces of wood nailed together.The cross was covered with frightened heads with wide mouths, each of whom happened to be wearing the hat of a Japanese soldier.It was full, at least fifty, and the cross was already red with blood, and it was a blood-colored cross.What made all the devils who saw this scene most resentful was that there were actually a few big words written in Japanese on this cross: "Hades Difu, the little devil with courage walked in." ”"Eight Ge Yalu, damn the people of China, is simply the greatest insult to our imperial army."
One of the adjutant finally couldn't stand it anymore, and without waiting for Shibata Kazuo's command, he drew his saber and ran towards the cross."
AhhA knife hit the center of the cross, but as soon as it was slashed, a huge explosion rang out.Along with the dozens of heads and the angry officer, they were all swallowed up in the flames of the explosion.Shibata Kazuo and the others fell to the ground violently, and when they raised their heads, they only saw sawdust flying in the sky and a few stumps falling heavily to the ground, and the figure of the adjutant had long been gone.The explosion just now was almost shrunk to within three meters, and the explosion from the bottom up.It was extremely powerful but did not spread, engulfing everything within three meters.All the devils who saw this scene gasped, and Shibata Kazuo's brows furrowed even tighter."
Your Excellency General, what should we do about the two roads, which one shall we take?"
a staff officer asked after a long time.This is a difficult choice, which way to go Shibata Kazuo's heart was beating wildly, he looked at the road that had just exploded and the ground was blackened, and then looked at the road that was undamaged, and his heart was extremely hesitant."
Damn Gao Dong, are you playing psychological warfare with me, are you testing me" Cold sweat flowed from the forehead of Kazuo Shibata, and when he got to know more and more about Gao Dong and his methods of doing things, he became more and more afraid of dealing with this person.He regretted that he had to run desperately.Now in danger, the friendly forces do not know where to go, but there are two paths in front of him to choose.One is obviously leading to death, and the remaining one will definitely lead to the way home, Shibata Kazuo was silent for fifteen minutes, and finally he let out a long breath, with a cruel smile on the corner of his mouth: "Take this road" All the staff officers and officers looked at the direction of his finger in surprise, because Shibata Kazuo pointed to the road that had just been inserted into the cross explosion."
But General, this way is possible."
This time it was the chief of staff who spoke, and he said very worriedly.Shibata Kazuo suddenly snorted coldly and interrupted the chief of staff: "The Chinese have a saying in the art of war called soldier is not tired of deceit, this is their tricky way.Do you think that using this method will scare me to take the seemingly safe road, I, Kazuo Shibata, am not the kind of person who retreats when he sees difficulties, they are the wrong person. ”At this moment, Shibata Kazuo was full of confidence and pointed to the road ahead: "Immediately open up a path and move forward." ”Now that the division commander had given the order, the troops had no choice but to move forward.However, this road was not as simple as the Japanese thought, and after only a few steps, they encountered several treacherous mines, and dozens of Japanese soldiers were blown up alive in the sea of fire.Despite this, Shibata Kazuo's heart is even more determined.He thinks that since Gao Dong is so arranged, it is clear that he will not let him take this road.There was a burst of ecstasy in his heart, thinking that he had finally found the flaw in the other party.Immediately ordered the sappers to step forward and remove all the mines one by one, so that the team could pass quickly.At the same time, the troops were on guard in case of a sudden attack by the squadron.The Sixteenth Division's march slowed down again, and it slowly advanced like a snail.But even if they had sappers who could clear the mines, what was here was a treacherous mine, which was laid out by the two dogs taught by Lin Fan.Although the technique was not as good as Lin Fan's, it still made the devil's sappers suffer a lot, and the minefield of less than 500 meters made a brigade of sappers lose almost half.After more than 500 meters, there was no more thunder.Looking at the road that the sappers had almost paved with flesh and blood, the corners of Shibata Kazuo's mouth showed a confident smile that he had never felt before.He thought he had found his way home, and he won this psychological battle with Gao Dong."
Order the troops to move forward immediately and get out of this damn place," Shibata yelled excitedly.The Sixteenth Division once again embarked on the journey with great speed, as if they had no threat after leaving the junction, and the troops marched twice as fast.The vigilance of the troops was also relaxed a lot, and Shibata Kazuo would not reprimand him anymore, because he believed that he was out of danger.The large army rolled forward like a flood, and nothing really happened along the way, which made Shibata even more sure that he had made the right choice."
Gao Dong, Gao Dong, in the end, you still lost to me.I, Kazuo Shibata, have been on the battlefield for so many years, how can I lose to you so easily, you are very powerful, but with me Kazuo Shibata, at most, it is on par.When I join our allies, it's time for our decisive battle. ”Kazuo Shibata looked up to the sky and smiled, making the officers around him a little puzzled.No one can guess Shibata Kazuo's thoughts, this cold and arrogant general always gives his subordinates a mysterious and unpredictable feeling.As the sky gradually darkened, the 16th Division, which had been marching for a whole day, suddenly came to a river.The river was wide, the river was fast, there were no bridges over the river, there was nothing to cross the river, and the troops stopped again.Faced with this sudden appearance of the river, Shibata Kazuo was stunned in the local area.The uneasiness that had already dissipated in his heart once again occupied his entire body and mind, making him feel at a loss where to go."
We, on the way to join the friendly forces, is there a river?"
The march was too hasty, and Kazuo Shibata actually made a fatal mistake, and he walked all the way without even discerning the direction.A group of staff officers immediately identified it on the map, and after looking at the sunset for a long time, they shook their heads one by one with bitter faces.Shibata Kazuo's face became even more ugly, and he said almost tremblingly: "Then how far have we come" "Report to the general, probably, about thirty kilometers" A staff officer replied with the same trembling, and he also felt that things were extremely strange."
Thirty."
Kazuo Shibata's eyes widened, and he almost didn't sit on the ground.He was so excited, excited that he had finally defeated Gao Dong.But under this excitement, he forgot everything, and he didn't know that he had walked thirty kilometers.The distance between them and the friendly forces is only about twenty kilometers, and the friendly troops will definitely move closer to him when they receive his telegram.The distance between the two sides should be shrinking, how can it get bigger and bigger Looking at the turbulent river in front of him, the mountains and mountains in the distance, where is there the shadow of a friendly army.As the sun set, his troops lost even a reference for the moment of direction.Shibata Kazuo's heart slammed up, and an incredible thought jumped into his heart: "Could it be that all this is Gao Dong's calculation, he is sure that I will definitely take that road, and he is sure that I will definitely do it according to his routine" "If this is the case, then he is too terrible, he not only attacked my troops, but also attacked my heart." ”Shibata Kazuo suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, his heart was beating wildly, and a cold breath rose from his back, quickly making his whole person feel a cold feeling of being touched by ghosts."
General, are we going to cross the river now?"
asked the staff officer tentatively, for their division commander had been standing there with a shocked face on his face for a long time.Shibata Kazuo woke up suddenly, and the staff officer said it again.Shibata Kazuo looked at the river rolling in front of him, and suddenly shook his head violently: "No, you can't cross the river."
The river is turbulent, and the Chinese are good at hitting its half-crossing.If they lie in ambush around, we will suffer huge losses, so we must not cross the river. ”"So, where do we go from here?"
asked the chief of staff, worried.Kazuo Shibata looked up at the sky, then at the road, and suddenly pointed to a road on the side of the river and said, "Walking here, we have deviated from the direction."
From here, if you go fast, you can join up with friendly forces in a few hours.We must not fight alone, this is certainly a trap for the Chinese. ”He no longer dared to have any conceit, since he had the previous guess, he could only describe Gao Dong as timid.At the moment, all he wanted was to get out of here and join his allies, and the longer he stayed in this strange place, the closer he got to collapse.In fact, he was on the verge of collapse, as long as the Gao Dong who made all this appeared, maybe he would be frightened and collapse in an instant.The 16th Division once again embarked on the march, and they had marched for a whole day from the early morning to now, and the troops had never rested, let alone replenished any food.The soldiers were hungry and thirsty, tired and tired.They could only drink from the water in the kettle, barely providing some of the energy that their bodies were missing, and then continued to walk towards the unknown.Night had finally fallen quietly, and the 16th Division had moved away from the river.They re-embarked on a strange road, and because Shibata Kazuo was too afraid in his heart that all this was a conspiracy of Gao Dong, he let the troops advance at full speed, and the soldiers were almost all rushing forward.It's just that they didn't realize that along the way, there would be different eyes staring at them, watching them walk on the road of no return."
Let's go, inform the people on the other side of the river that they don't need to be monitored, and all of them are withdrawn.The devil has entered the ambush circle, and we should go back too. ”Heiwa jumped down from a tree, and there were several people standing beside him, all members of the independent brigade.In the darkness of the night, the figures gathered into a neat procession, following the devil and quickly disappeared into the night
