In the gorge, the officers and men of the 22nd Division of the Japanese Army were marching in two columns.

The commander of the 22nd Division, Tsuchihashi, once rode an Oriental horse and traveled with the team.

Adjutant Shunichi Doi, who accompanied him behind Tsuchihashi once, asked puzzledly: "Division commander, according to the information provided by the aviation scouts, the Shina Army is rushing towards me from several directions, shouldn't we stop advancing at this time and choose a suitable terrain to build fortifications?" ”

Facing the young Shunichi Doi, Tsuchihashi was trying to show off.

Tsuchihashi shook his head and said: "Soldier, treacherous, I don't doubt the information provided by the aviation scouts, but what they observe from the air is not necessarily the truth. ”

"Nani?" Shunichi Doi asked, "What do you mean by that?" ”

Tsuchihashi said once: "It means that this is likely to be a trick of the Chinese army!" ”

After a pause, Tsuchihashi said again: "The Chinese army deliberately put on a posture of encirclement on all sides, in fact, it was just to force us to stop advancing, and once the imperial army really stopped and built fortifications, the Chinese army immediately scattered in all directions, and so on, sooner or later, the imperial army will be dragged down by the Chinese army." ”

"Sodesnay." Doi Shunichi suddenly said, "The Shina Army is really cunning. ”

Tsuchihashi said once: "The Chinese army is indeed cunning, but in front of the tiger, no matter how cunning the rabbit is, it can only be a rabbit, and it will never become a tiger!" As long as we always keep an appropriate distance from the 27th Division and ensure that we can support each other in time when we are attacked by the Chinese Army, there will be no problem with safety! ”

As the two spoke, they had gradually gone deeper into the canyon.

Tuqiao's gaze slowly swept over the slopes on both sides of the canyon, and he saw that the terrain here was relatively gentle, at least it was absolutely not precipitous.

But I don't know why, Tsuchihashi's brows slowly frowned.

Tsuchihashi vaguely felt that something was wrong, but suddenly he couldn't say what was wrong.

As the marching columns of the 22nd Division gradually valleyd, the vague uneasiness in Tsuchihashi's heart began to become more intense.

At a certain moment, Tsuchihashi finally restranded the war horse under his crotch.

As soon as Toshi Doi, who was accompanying him, saw this, he also followed and restrained the war horse.

Doi Shunichi asked, "Division commander, why don't you leave?" ”

Tsuchihashi frowned once and said, "I have a very bad feeling. ”

"Bad feelings?" Toshiichi was dazed when he heard this.

At this time, the chief of staff, Hideo Baba, and the commander of the infantry regiment, Sakurai Shozo, also caught up.

Before the two could speak, Tsuchihashi rolled over and jumped off the horse, then turned around and climbed up the hill by the roadside.

Hideo Baba and Sakurai didn't know what was going on, so they had to turn over and dismount and climb the hill again.

The hill on the side of the road is only a few dozen meters high, and in less than a quarter of an hour, they have climbed to the top of the mountain in one of the earth bridges.

Standing on the top of the mountain, you can see the canyon landform within a radius of several hundred meters, but you can see that the canyon is lush with vegetation and hardly an exposed surface.

It was late autumn, and due to the drought for several days, a large number of artemisia grass and even shrubs died, and everything as far as the eye could see was yellow.

At this moment, Shunichi Doi, who had climbed to the top of the mountain, suddenly took out a cigarette, and then struck a match, ready to smoke a cigarette to relieve his fatigue.

Seeing this, Hideo Baba immediately stopped: "Doi-kun, quickly extinguish the match!" ”

After a pause, Hideo Baba said again: "It's too dry, be careful of starting a wildfire!" ”

Hideo Baba had no intention of saying it, but after hearing it once, Tsuchihashi's face changed instantly.

"Yaga Yalu, it's broken!" Tsuchihashi once said in a terrified manner, "Bad things, bad things!" ”

"Nani?" Hideo Baba was surprised, "Division Commander, what's the bad thing?" What are you talking about? ”

Tsuchihashi waved his hand once, too lazy to explain to Hideo Baba, and said urgently: "Quick, order all infantry wings, immediately return the same way, oh no, or speed up to pass!" ”

Hideo Baba listened with a blank face, should he return or forward?

Seeing that Hideo Baba was stunned and didn't move, Tsuchihashi immediately became angry and roared loudly: "Baba-kun, are you deaf?" What are you doing here? Don't hurry up and deliver orders to the various wings! ”

"It's not." Hideo Baba asked with a dark face, "Division Commander, is it going forward or backward?" ”

"Yaga, is my expression so poor?" Tsuchihashi became more and more annoyed, and was about to scold Hideo Baba with a slap in the face, but suddenly he saw something out of the corner of his eye, as if something was slowly rolling down the hillside in front of him.

Almost at the same time, Sakurai and Shunichi Doi also discovered the abnormality, and their eyes instantly became dull!

Doi Shunichi couldn't help but let out a murmur from his throat: "Yaga, this is another ...... What the hell? ”

Tuqiao once Huo Ran looked up, and when he looked at it urgently, he saw more than a dozen huge fireballs, which were rolling down from the hillside, really fireballs, enough to be the size of a house, rolling down, while still burning, where a dozen fireballs rolled over, the withered yellow grass and trees on the hillside immediately began to burn.

"Division commander, look, there are fireballs on the other side!"

"Division commander, no, there are fireballs ahead!"

"It's not just the front, there's a fireball behind us too!"

At this time, the screams of several orderly soldiers sounded in Tuqiao's ears one time.

Tsuchihashi, Hideo Baba, and Sakurai Sankyu looked around and saw huge fireballs rolling down the other side of the canyon, as well as the slopes in front of and behind the canyon.

In the blink of an eye, there were already many fires in the valley.

Seeing this scene, Tsuchihashi's pupils contracted sharply for a moment.

Broken! Tsuchihashi's heart couldn't help but sigh!

When I used to read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, I read the plan of the military advisors and strategists in the book to attack and flood the water, and I really couldn't put it down, but for whether the plan of fire attack or flooding could really be implemented in reality, Tuqiao was actually deeply skeptical once, and he firmly believed that it was just a fictional plot, and it was impossible to exist in reality.

It wasn't until today that Tsuchihashi finally realized it.

Fire attacks flooding, not only in the plot, but also in reality!

Although the effect is not as exaggerated as the others, it is enough to hit them hard!

In the next moment, Tuqiao woke up in shock, and then howled hoarsely: "Order, immediately cut the weeds on both sides of the mountain road, and immediately cut the weeds on the side of the mountain road!" ”

Tsuchihashi's order was quickly conveyed, and the devil soldiers in the canyon immediately became busy.

At this critical moment, he did not give the order to retreat or advance, but decisively ordered all the officers and soldiers to clear the weeds on the side of the mountain road!

PS: Chapter 737 is lost, and I'm also helpless, the general content is that the national army set fire.
