The gate of the city shrouded in night suddenly opened, and more than twenty devil heralds poured out and gathered around a lieutenant.

"Commander's order: find the four-way attack troops at all costs, let them unconditionally withdraw from the independent battalion base and return to the county seat!"

"You guys go to Old Tree Village...... You guys go to the second squad......"

"Set off now, run with your legs when the war horse dies, and deliver the order at all costs!"

"Yes, Captain!" More than twenty heralds answered at the same time.

"Departure ......"

As soon as the order to "boom ......" was given, the sound of horses' hooves sounded at the city gates.

The devil herald split into four and quickly disappeared into the night.

Inside the headquarters, Watanabe Shaosa's face became more and more ugly, the herald had been off for nearly an hour, and no one had returned.

You must know that they rode horses to give orders, and under normal circumstances, they could walk nearly 30 kilometers in an hour, and they could completely enter the independent battalion and bring back the news according to the underground orders.

But it was as if they had disappeared, and they had just disappeared completely.

Report ......

The deputy captain of the special forces suddenly rushed to the door of the war room, panting and looking nervous.

Tian Chengzhi was worried about whether his life could be saved, sweating profusely, and he didn't react for a long time.

Watanabe was anxious that the herald had no news coming back, and subconsciously thought that the special team had news to bring back, and regardless of whether the other party could understand it or not, he shouted at the door: "Come in, is there news from the independent battalion base area!" ”

"Yes...... Yes...... Taijun! "The vice-captain faced Watanabe directly for the first time, and he was very nervous and stammered when he spoke!

"Tell me quickly, what happened to the independent battalion base area? Why didn't any of the heralds sent out by the Imperial Army come back, and the four-way attack force also disappeared without a trace, without any news! ”

The deputy captain hurriedly replied: "We have an intelligence officer in Laoshu Village who escaped, he met the main force of the independent battalion on the way to the county seat, and also found a large number of corpses of imperial soldiers on the road. ”

"The reinforced squad of the Imperial Army attacking the garrison of the independent company has been killed? And is it the main force of the independent battalion? Watanabe asked rhetorically with a look of incredulity in his big eyes.

This news is so shocking!

The reason why they dared to send troops to attack the independent battalion base area was that their base area was empty, and the main force was transferred.

If I remember correctly, yesterday afternoon I also received information about the main forces of the separate battalion.

Aren't they not in the base area, preparing to attack the imperial army reinforcements at a position dozens of attacks away from the base area? Why did you return to the base again?

"Could it be that they give up on sneaking up on our reinforcements, return to the base in a few hours, and then ambush the attacking troops they have sent?" Watanabe thought about it for a long time before he came up with such a plausible reason.

"Impossible!" Watanabe Shaosa himself vetoed this reason.

"They are not immortals, they don't have wings, and there are our people staring at them, it is impossible to travel dozens of kilometers to return to the base in a few hours!"

Speaking of this, Watanabe suddenly thought of a terrible situation, and his face turned pale with a brush.

"Or that the main force of the independent battalion has never left their base area from beginning to end, the main force we followed all the way is fake, the independent battalion is pretending to be local troops and guerrillas, and the main force has been hiding in the base area, just waiting for our attacking troops to kill them, and then gather and rape them!"

"It must be so!" The adjutant also reacted at this time.

"Sir, the independent battalion is too cunning, and the whole march is not only vigilant, but also day and night all the time. Our people can only watch, if they give us a trick to change the tanuki for the prince, our people really can't find out! ”

"It's over!" Watanabe's face turned paler and he cried out in despair.

"If the main force of the independent battalion is really hiding in their base area, our four-way attack force will definitely have been killed by them!"

Speaking of this, Watanabe seemed to think of something and exclaimed with a look of regret.

"Oh no, the herald we sent out an hour ago is finished!"

"Their forces are too small and very scattered, even if they encounter the local troops of the Eighth Route Army, it will be difficult to escape, let alone the main force of the independent battalion!"

"Eight grid tooth road, and more than 20 war horses from the independent battalion will be sent for nothing!"

After dawn, Watanabe was completely desperate.

The hour before kept coming back with bad news.

Although the intelligence network of the special high school in the base area of the independent battalion has been devastated, some fish that have slipped through the net cannot be avoided.

As they returned to the county seat one by one, the scattered news they brought back allowed Watanabe to slowly figure out what happened last night in the independent camp base.

"Eight Grid Tooth Road, this matter is a conspiracy from beginning to end!" Watanabe scolded.

"We were fooled from the beginning, but not only did we not know, but we were complacent, thinking that everything was in our calculations, which is ridiculous!"

The adjutant stubbornly said, "Sir, our losses have been counted!" ”

"The four reinforced squads were all wiped out, with a total strength of 315 people, all of whom were killed."

"There are 26 heralds sent out later, and all of them are dead, and everyone is back!"

"In addition, we lost four heavy machine guns, four mortars, twelve light machine guns, twelve grenadiers, two hundred and thirteen rifles and more than 30,000 rounds of various bullets!"

"If the reinforcements can't reach Lingqiu safely today, we won't have any heavy weapons to shoot!"

Watanabe's face was full of anger, but he didn't lose his mind.

Suddenly, he shouted: "Reinforcements, the reinforcements given to us by the superiors must not have any more problems!" ”

"I thought that after the reinforcements arrived, we would have enough troops and heavy weapons to sweep the independent battalion base area. Now that the reinforcements have not arrived, we ourselves have lost more than 300 people, and they are all veterans! ”

"This directly means that even if all the reinforcements reach Lingqiu, our strength will be greatly reduced!"

"If there is any more surprise with the reinforcements, their arrival will not even be able to make up for our losses last night, let alone increase our strength!"

"Contact reinforcements immediately and get them on heightened alert!"

"The remaining cavalry of the cavalry squadron is now set off, tell us the Imperial Allies deployed along the line, and let them guard the road!"

"From now on, I'll shoot whoever defends the road if it has problems!"

"And the special forces, haven't you trained a lot of action teams? Captain Tian, I give me a chance to atone for my sins. You personally lead the attack, find those who are pretending to be the main force of the independent battalion, and kill them! ”

"It's they who let us lose more than 300 imperial troops in vain, and I want to break them into thousands of pieces and bury them with the imperial warriors who died in battle!"
