As soon as Abe Saburo heard Yamada's words, he felt that if he wanted to escape the responsibility of poor guards, he could only do it according to Yamada's idea, otherwise the commander Shunroku Hata would not be able to get off the stage, so what kind of thing is his little captain squadron leader, and it is not the master who Shunroku Hata can kill with a move of his fingers, Saburo Abe Saburo has no choice but to nod and agree that he will take part of the responsibility first, and fool this matter first, after all, now is not the time to be vindictive, and it is the most important thing to save his life.
As a result, Shunroku Hatata, who was in Nanjing, soon received a telegram from Yamada, in which he claimed that after careful and repeated verification, he had finally figured out the reason for the death of the Imperial Army's bacteriological warfare squad, and that it was Suzuki-kun's earnest desire to make meritorious contributions to the war and did not listen to Abe-kun's strong persuasion that all the warriors of the germ warfare detachment were shattered.
Yamada Devil's move is really clever, and he kicked the ball directly to Shunroku Hatata, Shunroku Hata is not a fool, where will he drill into the trap by himself, so he reprimanded Saburo Abe a few words without itching, and mixed up this matter, the Kwantung Army and the base camp of the devil are busy these days for the US army to attack the Japanese mainland, where can they take care of such trivial things The danger of losing his head and accountability was lifted, Abe Saburo was relieved, and he was even more desperate for the little devil Yamada, and it happened that at this time, the ghost soldiers who reconnoitred in front reported: The enemy situation was found at the fork in the road, and it was estimated that the guerrillas of the people of China or the remnants of the New Fourth Army were active When Saburo Abe heard this information, he was anxious to do something for the commander of the Yamada Brigade, so he volunteered to ask Yamada: "Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, let me take the warriors of the Imperial Army over to have a look, and wipe out those guerrillas of the Shina people and the participation of the New Fourth Army."
Yamada also happened to be looking for a team of devils who went over there to investigate, and when he saw that Abe Saburo volunteered to go and have a look, he hurriedly nodded and agreed, and said to Abe Saburo: "Abe-kun, the Shina on the other side is very cunning, you have to be careful when you go, as soon as there is an abnormal situation, immediately fire a warning shot, and our large army will arrive later."
So, Abe Saburo took the two devil squadrons under his command No. 7 or 800 devil soldiers to the front menacingly, and it was the fat man who discovered the whereabouts of the devil scouts It was a group of brothers led by the fat man, since they were ordered to retreat to the western mountains, the fellow villagers who retreated there hid in the cave for a few days, and then received a telegram from Zhou Wu, asking him to attack the fat man and the Huang Shuisheng spy group hiding in Hongze Lake immediately to intercept the Yamada brigade that had gone deep into the Jiangbei base area.
After the fat man received Zhou Wu's telegram, he quickly rushed back with a group of brothers, and the scout brothers he sent out reported to him that the devils had moved to the vicinity of the town fifty kilometers north of Matan, and it was very close to the ambush site originally set by Zhou Wu to encircle and annihilate the devils, this town was close to Hongze Lake in the east, and an improvised road just passed through the lake, and most of the devil's troops were semi-mechanized teams, with a lot of trucks and motorcycles, and a large area to the west of the town was a muddy swamp area that was inaccessible.
If the devil wants to quickly occupy this town and occupy all the anti-Japanese base areas in Jiangbei, he must pass through this simple road close to the edge of Hongze Lake, the fat man and Huang Shuisheng on the other side of Hongze Lake discussed it, and decided to set up an ambush site on the fork in the road ten miles south of the town, the battle began, and the brothers of the fat man's regiment were responsible for driving the devils to the east of Hongze Lake, and when they arrived at the lake, Huang Shuisheng took the brothers of the special service group who were ambushed in the lake to annihilate the devils on the shore, no matter how many devils came, Let's wipe out their advance team first Abe Saburo rushed towards the fork in the road with seven or eight hundred devils, the scouts of the little devils at the intersection had already had a short shootout with several scouts of a regiment, and the brothers of a regiment pretended to be invincible to the devils, and hurriedly retreated to the back, and soon disappeared into the swamp and could not be found, the devil scouts were unfamiliar with life, and they did not dare to catch up in front, so they had no choice but to return to report to Yamada, and Yamada only remembered that there was a puppet army unit next to him, Hurriedly telegraphed Liu Haozi to quickly rush to the fork in the road and attack the town with the imperial army.
At this time, Liu Haozi was resting and enjoying happiness at Matan, as soon as he received the telegram from the little devil of Yamada, he knew that it was Yamada who asked him to be the puppet military division to explore the way as cannon fodder, and he was very reluctant to go, but he was afraid that the little devil of Yamada would repair him, Liu Haozi hesitated, pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back in the division headquarters, at this time, his brother-in-law Xiao Tianming said to him: "Brother-in-law, since Yamada has given the order, it is not okay for us not to go, I think it is better to set off, but don't go too fast, and see how the battle is in front."
If Yamada and they go well, then we have to speed up and rush to the battle, if Yamada and they are surrounded by the New Fourth Army, then we have to continue to grind foreign workers halfway, and we can't stupidly go to death in vain."
Liu Haozi heard that his brother-in-law's comprehension ability was still quite good, and he realized his mind so quickly, nodded and said: "Just do as you say, but I'm worried that if those New Fourth Army on the other side treat us as an attacking team, then our division will be finished, and the devil will definitely not come to the rescue, I think it's better not to rush over first, and then wait to see the battle situation in front of you." ” "Brother-in-law, this problem is easy to handle, the New Fourth Army doesn't seem to want to fight with us this time, as long as we can withdraw from the battle immediately after encountering them, it is estimated that they will not stalk us, but our war-avoidance behavior is estimated to be unable to hide from the little devil Yamada, if he goes back to the devil commander Shunroku Hata to complain, then wouldn't we be cut off by the Japanese" Xiao Tianming is worried that the puppet army's avoidance of war will arouse the suspicion of the Yamada devil, if this kind of wisdom protects his life, he will not fire when he encounters the New Fourth Army, The matter of pretending not to see it spread to Junroku Hatata, and even if Liu Haozi had several heads, he would be cut off by the devil, so his brother-in-law Xiao Tianming raised his worries.
"Haha, I'm not afraid of this, Lao Tzu has already planned it, once the little devil turns his face with me, I'll fucking take the troops to take refuge, didn't this time say that the Sixth War Zone dispatched several divisions of troops, when the time comes, when we see that the situation is not right, we will be over with Cheng on the spot, and maybe we can get the treatment of a battlefield uprising."
Liu Haozi was confident, and he had already planned to join the team in the Sixth War Zone.
As a result, Liu Haozi sent a telegram to Yamada that he had set off for the town immediately, and it was expected to arrive in two days Yamada received a call back from Liu Haozi, and was so angry that he scolded this Liu Haozi: "Liu Haozi's conscience is greatly broken, and his Imperial Association Army Division has to walk for two days less than 50 kilometers, isn't it like a snail crawling?"
Yamada just wanted to send another telegram to Liu Haozi, ordering him to come to the town quickly, and the whole division should arrive in the town within 12 hours, otherwise he would be severely punished, and just as he wanted to send this telegram, he heard a burst of gunfire like firecrackers coming from the fork in the road in front of him, Yamada was taken aback, and hurriedly asked those devils: "What happened in front of you, is it that Abe-kun was ambushed by the enemy?"
This time the little devil Yamada guessed correctly, the place where the gunshots sounded in front of him was the fat man who was ambushed on both sides of the intersection and his brothers attacked the little devil of Saburo Abe, the fat man was waiting for the arrival of the devil in a forest at the intersection over there, and after waiting for seven or eight hours, he still didn't see a little devil coming, the fat man was a little anxious, and scolded: "His mother's little devil hasn't come yet, maybe those devil soldiers are afraid of the ambush, and they don't dare to come here."
The fat man thought about it, and hurriedly ordered a dozen or so scout brothers to go to the front to take a look, the dozen or so scouts just went out, and they met Abe Saburo's ghost soldiers coming towards the fork in the road violently, and the two sides suddenly encountered, the ghost soldiers and those scout brothers in a group did not expect to meet each other here, and immediately launched a fierce shootout, and the gunfire that Yamada little devils heard just now is this.
After killing five brothers, a platoon commander who led the team hurriedly led the brothers to retreat towards the place where the fat man was ambushed, Abe Saburo was fighting hard, and when he saw the New Fourth Army on the opposite side retreating to the front, he thought that the opportunity to destroy the New Fourth Army team had come, regardless of whether there was a problem with the retreat of the New Fourth Army in front of him, the Oriental sword in his hand waved, and howled at those devils under him: "Warriors of the Imperial Army, rush forward, Destroy all those Shina people" The devil soldiers are also like chicken blood, especially those devil recruits who have just enlisted in the army for less than half a year, seeing the New Fourth Army retreating on the opposite side, thinking that they can't resist their onslaught, so they suddenly threw away the psychological burden of timidity, and followed Abe Saburo's howl of "whooping" and rushed towards the scout brothers, just like that, the scout brothers shot while copying the fat man and retreated from their position, and soon retreated to the fat man's side, the fat man grabbed the scout and asked: " What the hell is going on up there, your brothers?"
"Report to the regiment commander, the devil army is coming, a dense area, it is estimated that there are more than a thousand people, our scouts suddenly encountered them halfway, more than half of the brothers were killed, and now those devil soldiers are following us towards this side of the position" The scout platoon commander who ran back hurriedly reported to the fat man.
When the fat man heard this, the little devil on the opposite side encountered him, laughed, pulled out the two twenty-shot box cannons on his waist and ordered the brothers on the position: "Prepare for battle immediately, no one is allowed to fire without my order, otherwise it will be punished according to battlefield discipline" t1706231537:
