The weather still shows no signs of improving.

Although it is almost mid-April, the weather in Rehe province is still overcast and cold, especially at night, when the ground is still covered with a layer of hoarfrost.

Chinese describe hardship, they like to say cold and hungry, I don't know if it is because of cold to be hungry, or because of hunger is cold, anyway, the Japanese soldiers of the Eighth Division are indeed such a miserable feeling at the moment.

In addition to the Japanese troops on the periphery of the guard positions are still holding on consistently, most of the Japanese troops in the garrison have lit bonfires and snuggled up to the bonfires in small detachments to keep warm.

Even if lighting a campfire in a field camp and placing oneself in the light of the fire was a taboo for every army, Tanibe Terubei did not stop it.

Because the porridge and wild vegetables in his own lunch box can show people, let alone other Japanese soldiers. All the mules and horses of the army were killed for meat to satisfy their hunger, and the pheasants, hares, and sparrows in the surrounding mountains were swept away, but these were far from satisfying the needs of nearly 6,000 wounded soldiers and 7,000 soldiers, with a total of 13,000 mouths.

It can be said that the Eighth Division has now eaten up almost everything that can be eaten, if it weren't for the existence of the savior of the Sixth Division, Tanabe Terube would have taken the Eighth Division to the nearby Chahar Province a long time ago, no matter how stupid Tanibe Terube is, tens of thousands of people would not be able to starve to death!

Tighten your belt like this, and you can hold on for two or three days, but you're hungry like this, you can't even meet the soldiers' request for warmth! In the past few days, hundreds of wounded soldiers have died of cold and starvation, and Tanibe Terubei can no longer send soldiers who are in good health to see Amaterasu.

Besides, now that it is the area controlled by the Kwantung Army, there is that thief who dares to come and fight the tiger whiskers of the Eighth Division, which has 7,000 troops? Except for the Chinese army with the gallant hair of the Great Wall Regiment.

Fortunately, the telegram from the Kwantung Army Headquarters has made it very clear that nearly 2,000 people of the main force of the Great Wall Regiment have returned to Beiping. This news may be very annoying for the strong Sakamoto Masaemon, and the empire's henchmen have slipped away like this, but for all the officials of the Eighth Division led by Tanibe Terube, it is inexplicably relieved.

The scourge of the Great Wall Regiment is finally gone, and no matter how the gods descend to earth, it will be a matter of the future, but now it is impossible to find the trouble of the Eighth Division.

Lele had some loose trouser belts, and Tanibe Terube and Kazuki lay down on the camp bed.

The best way to deal with hunger is to go to the meeting with Zhou, which is a new skill that His Excellency has learned these days.

The Japanese soldiers who were gradually falling asleep and snuggling around the warm bonfire and missing their hometown did not know that in a valley only twenty miles away from the headquarters of the Eighth Division, many Chinese were not afraid of the cold of the April night in the north, lying on the grass covered with hoarfrost, looking at the 8th Division's station like a little starlight in the distance.

。。。。。。

"Company Commander Liu, meet again." The tall Sun Yongqin smiled and shook hands with Liu Dazhu, who had finished the military salute.

Since he learned the handshake ceremony from Liu Lang, Sun Yongqin, a man from a reckless background, also feels that the handshake ceremony is more formal than the fist hugging ceremony of the people in the rivers and lakes, after all, his identity is now the commander of the Rehe Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, not some bandit leader.

"Commander Sun, oh no, it should be called Master Sun now. Before coming, let me thank you on behalf of him for coming to your aid on this adventure. Seeing Sun Yongqin, Liu Dazhu's somewhat rigid face also showed a smile.

The leader of an anti-Japanese group from a peasant background, as soon as the team was pulled up, brought people to argue with nearly 10,000 little devils, and such a person deserved Liu Dazhu to say thank you no matter what.

If it weren't for Commander Liu's assistance to our Anti-Japanese Salvation Army, my Sun Yongqin would be three heads and six arms, and it would be impossible for him to pull so many brothers into the gang in a short period of time, let alone say that the division commander is not a division commander." Sun Yongqin shook his head again and again. "Moreover, I also know that I have a few catties and a few taels, don't look at Sun Mou brought 3,000 brothers this time, but many people have just put down their hoes and firewood knives, and they haven't even touched their guns, and if they want to fight the little devils, I'm afraid they are still close to the fire, at most they can only wave the flag and shout for Commander Liu and Company Commander Liu, and the main thing is to rely on the brothers of the Great Wall Regiment."

"Senior Commander Sun was still saying just now that we are outside the group, but now we are also outside! Without you, more than 100 of my people wouldn't be able to do it with little devils! Liu Dazhu also smiled.

"Don't be modest, both of you. Company Commander Liu, we have brought all the equipment of your company, you can receive it. Cai Dadao on the side interjected.

The current Cai Dadao is not just a small special soldier in the special brigade of the Independent Regiment, but now he is the chief instructor of Sun Yongqin's recruit for the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

Three special forces, Shi Datou martial arts fighting Niu Cha, but not good at communicating with people, Niu Er shooting first-class, but because he is also an introverted type, so in terms of communication with Sun Yongqin's anti-Japanese National Salvation Army high-level, it is not as comfortable as Cai Dadao, who has been a bandit for several years. Therefore, Cai Dadao became the head of the three people, and he was able to participate in the highest-level military meeting of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

This time, he accompanied Sun Yongqin to greet the old chief Liu Dazhu, and he also had the right to speak to some extent.

As for the equipment he said, of course, it was part of the batch of equipment that Liu Lang in Chengde City assisted Sun Yongqin.

Maybe Liu Lang didn't want to let go of the Eighth Division completely at that time, or Liu Lang didn't want the Japanese army in Rehe Province to have a hard time in the past few years, anyway, Liu Lang left a hand before evacuating Chengde.

Not only did the several mortars that came to Sun Yongqin's aid belong to Liu Dazhu's company, but even the MG42 machine guns and bullets, Liu Lang asked Liu Dazhu's company to hand over all the equipment to Cai Dadao and a few people for safekeeping, including the grenades he carried, it can be said that except for the Hanyang-made spears and bullets brought by each soldier, the rest were left for Sun Yongqin to take away.

However, no one was allowed to move these weapons without the permission of the three special forces, and now, they were finally returned to their original owners.

Yes, since Liu Lang was completely planning to trouble the Eighth Division, he didn't plan to start the whole process alone. Even if there is no Great Wall Regiment, he has a lot of helpers.

A one-man war can certainly give the Japanese a headache, but it can't make them break their bones.

Now, the helper who completely broke the backbone of the Eighth Division came.

Liu Dazhu, who was stationed at Qinglong Mountain, had a company of 170 men, and a wing of the Sixth Division marched north to Chengde, and the whole army left the Great Wall lightly and marched to the north of the Rehe River.

In addition to rifles, carrying five 82 mortars, enough shells and five days' rations, the whole company went north lightly, taking advantage of the slow pace of the Sixth Division, which was harassed by Liu Lang and the three of them, overtook the Sixth Division and pursued the Eighth Division.

Sun Yongqin, who received Liu Lang's telegram order, took the 3,000 peasant soldiers he recruited with tens of thousands of catties of grain and went north with equipment.

They had been hiding in this valley twenty miles away from the headquarters of the Eighth Division for two days, and finally waited for Liu Dazhu's arrival on this cold night.

Three thousand peasant soldiers with full Japanese equipment and an infantry company of the Great Wall Regiment were the reasons why Liu Lang finally persuaded Deng Wen, otherwise Liu Lang would throw out a big pie, and Deng Wen, who was good at tactics, would not have stretched out his mouth to swallow it.

If you want to deal with the 8th Division, which still has 7,000 troops, with more than 1,000 cavalry, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream, and no matter how stupid a commander is, he will not make such a stupid choice in an era when hot weapons have already ruled the war. But with the help of infantry, that's not the case.

Unbeknownst to the sleeping Eighth Division, a group of Chinese rabble and a group of China's most elite fighters were watching them twenty miles away, in the northern spring night with no starlight but hoarfrost.

Gaze, with a bloody color.
