"The little devil was repelled by us, captain, can you chase it?" A soldier next to him asked excitedly.

"Chasing?" Liu Hong frowned, and said angrily: "Chase a fart!" If you take advantage of it, don't you run, waiting to be wiped out by the little devils? Everyone immediately retreated. ”

Liu Hong knew very well in his heart that it was not yet time for a decisive battle with the little devil, if he didn't retreat quickly, when the main force of the devil came over, it would be a dead end.

Liu Hong gave an order, and the soldiers simply cleaned up the battlefield, and then retreated quickly and quickly.

A few minutes later, a large group of little devils came back with a menacing slaughter, but when they arrived at the camp.

found that in addition to the burned tents and the corpses of devils everywhere, there was no shadow of the Eighth Route Army at the scene.

Takada Shaozuo, who led the team to support, scolded angrily: "Baga Yalu! And let these abominable dirt eight roads escape. ”

"Your Excellency Shaozuo, they just left, they definitely won't be able to run far, can we chase after them?" At this time, a devil officer asked.

"Chase a fart!" Takada Shaozuo scolded loudly: "Was your head kicked by a donkey?" Don't you know the cunning of the Martial Arts Corps? The Imperial Army can't catch up with these bastards during the day, so can we catch up at night? ”

"Hello!" The devil officer hurriedly answered, obediently stepped aside, closed his mouth and didn't dare to speak.

In fact, Takada Shaosa also wanted to chase, but Yamazaki Yusuke had already explained that he should not chase rashly, so as not to fall into the ambush of the martial arts team. During the day, the little devil chased for nearly twenty miles, but he didn't pick up the slightest bargain, and Yamazaki Yusuke was also scared, so he didn't dare to continue the pursuit.

……

In the north of the city, the fierce battle continued, the soldiers on both sides had already killed the red eyes, mixed together to the death, the killing was inseparable, the corpses on the ground were piled up more and more, and the blood almost dyed the entire battlefield red.

Seeing this tragic scene through the binoculars, even Yamazaki Yusuke couldn't help but be slightly moved, sighed deeply and said: "It seems that we still underestimate Zhao Jinglin, a group of rabble, it is really surprising that they have become so tenacious in his hands." ”

Tanaka Nakasa nodded and said: "This Zhao Jinglin is indeed a talent, but it's a pity that he can't be used by the imperial army, so he can only get rid of it." ”

Yamazaki Yusuke nodded and said, "I regret it now, I shouldn't have been in a hurry to deal with Zhao Jinglin in the first place." Because of our contempt, we thought that we could easily solve Zhao Jinglin, but as a result, the imperial army suffered such heavy losses, I am a sinner of the empire! ”

Tanaka Nakasa hurriedly said: "It is also difficult to escape the blame for this humble position, if the military department really investigates it, the humble position is willing to be shared with His Excellency the General." ”

Yamazaki Yusuke waved his hand and said: "Now is not the time to talk about this, our main task now is to take Hengshui City and eliminate these rebels." As long as they are eliminated, everything is easy to say. ”

"Hello!" Tanaka Nakasa hurriedly responded.

At this moment, a little devil hurriedly ran over and said respectfully to Yamazaki Yusuke: "Report to Your Excellency General, Takada Shaoza has sent someone to inform you that the Tuhachi Road, which attacked the imperial army, has fled. The rebels outside the eastern city have also all retreated into the city, relying on the city wall to defend, Takada Shaoza asked whether to continue the attack on the eastern city gate. ”

"Baga Ya Road! This damn martial arts team is running pretty fast. Yamazaki Yusuke couldn't help but scold.

Tanaka Nakazuo hurriedly said: "This Liu Hong is really very cunning, and his martial arts team is also unexpected, which makes the imperial army unguardable. ”

Yamazaki Yusuke frowned and said: "This Liu Hong seems to be bold and reckless, but in fact he is bold and careful, and he can accurately find the weakness of the imperial army and launch a sneak attack every time, which is really a headache opponent!" ”

"But now it is the most important thing to exterminate the rebels in Hengshui." Tanaka Nakasa reminded.

"Hmm!" Yamazaki Yusuke nodded and said, "Immediately notify Takada Shaozo and order them to stay in place, strengthen their vigilance, and do not need to attack the east gate for the time being." ”

"Hello!" The little devil hurriedly answered, turned around and ran to deliver the order.

Yamazaki Yusuke looked in the direction of the battlefield again, clenched his fists hard, and said with a firm face: "Tonight, no matter what, we must take the position outside the city, and start attacking the city early tomorrow morning." ”

"Hello!" Tanaka Nakasa replied respectfully.

At this time, Zhao Jinglin's military uniform was soaked with blood, including his blood, and more of it was the blood of a little devil.

The big knife in Zhao Jinglin's hand had also been cut off, and drops of blood continued to drip down from the tip of the knife.

Zhao Jinglin held the knife, the tip of the knife was pointed at a little devil, the little devil was holding a bayonet, looking at Zhao Jinglin vigilantly, and a light of fear flashed in his eyes.

"Come on!" Zhao Jinglin roared loudly.

The little devil felt as if a muffled thunder was exploding in his ears, his ears were buzzing, and his heart was even more frightened, and he involuntarily took a step back.

Zhao Jinglin saw that this little devil refused to come, and slowly walked towards him.

"Don't come here!" The little devil roared loudly in Japanese, and at the same time kept backing away.

A disdainful smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Jinglin's mouth, and he walked towards the little devil more firmly.

"Ah~!" The little devil couldn't help but let out a loud scream, mustered up his courage, gritted his teeth and held up the bayonet, and suddenly stabbed at Zhao Jinglin.

Zhao Jinglin blocked the devil's bayonet with a knife, and then quickly rushed over and rushed to the little devil.

Under the frightened gaze of the devil, Zhao Jinglin quickly raised the big knife and slashed it down.

"Ah~!" A terrible scream rang out, but it couldn't stop the sharp broadsword.

"Puff~!" With a bang, a dog's head flew out, and red blood spurted out of the broken cavity like a fountain.

This little devil has obviously been frightened out of his courage, as the so-called narrow road meets the brave wins, how can he win before he fights.

Since this little devil is already scared, why not run! In fact, the reason is very simple.

Because if he runs away at this time, he may be treated as a deserter.

The little devil is also extremely cruel to his own people, if he is really regarded as a deserter, not only will his life be difficult to protect, but his family will also be affected.

The reason why many little devils would rather die than be prisoners of the Eighth Route Army, even if those Japanese who joined the Alliance took refuge in the Eighth Route Army, they did not dare to use their real names anymore, because they were afraid that the Japanese government would persecute their families. So not all the little devils are not afraid of death, in fact, many are forced out.
