The officers and soldiers of the Northern Jiangsu Corps are still chasing and killing devils all over the mountains, and the devil soldiers, who have become lost dogs, no longer have the strength to fight back this time.

The brothers chased after them with torches, and in the fields and ditches they passed, the corpses of the little devils were lying all over the place, and the blood was red all the way.

The little devil was not familiar with this area, and when the large forces were gathered together to act before, there were commanders and operational staff officers who considered the direction of advancement.

But now that the devil soldiers have been defeated, the remaining devils are fleeing for their lives in groups of three or five, especially when it is dark again, where to discern the direction.

Many little devils ran and ran into the river, and the cold and biting river was a deadly trap at night, only to hear the splash of water, and the devil fluttered a few times and then did not move.

Many of these devil infantry can't swim, and the rain on their cotton clothes becomes extremely heavy, and many of the exhausted devils fell into the river and drowned alive in this night of escaping.

The Hirayama Brigade had been defeated on all fronts, and the desperate captain Hirayama Kei tasted defeat, and he was sitting in the courtyard of a farmhouse in Daqiao Village with a disgraced face at the moment, and he was very annoyed.

If he can attack all the way during the day, even if the Chinese troops of the Northern Jiangsu Corps can fight again, it is almost impossible to eat one of his brigades.

However, he was enraged by the layers of resistance of the Chinese army, and directly pressed on the whole line, and spread out all the troops, leaving no reserves.

When the two sides were in close combat, he still wanted to crush the other party with absolute strength, but the opponent's combat effectiveness was too tenacious, and the life-threatening style of fighting made them suffer heavy losses.

In the face of this style of play of Chinese officers and soldiers, it is no longer possible for the devils to distance themselves, the two sides have already been mixed up and glued together, and the brave will win when they meet on a narrow road, so they can only fight hard.

Captain Hirayama Kei still overestimated the combat effectiveness of his troops, this group of troops composed of baggage soldiers and supplementary soldiers was no longer the brave and good fighting Great Japanese Imperial Army, they were more than a grade worse than the battle of the security division.

It was the light enemy along the way that led to the current fiasco, and hearing the wails and cries of the wounded soldiers who were missing arms and legs by the fire around them, the captain Hirayama Kei's mood was extremely complicated.

"Report to the Captain...... We still have one hundred and twelve soldiers left to fight, and the rest are the wounded who can't move, and we lack food and medicine, so I'm afraid we won't be able to survive tonight......"

The report of the staff officer who was ordered to go to the village to count the casualties made the captain Hirayama Kei, who was already in a bad mood, even more heartbroken.

Because of their desperate attack, all their backpacks and miscellaneous belongings were left in the departure camp, except for bullets and rifles in their hands.

But the rout had prevented them from going to the camp to fetch these things, and now they had retreated all the way to this village, and their stomachs had already growled after a hard day's fighting, and now they were really desperate for hunger and cold.

"Ignore the wounded first, distribute the food found in the village first, so that the soldiers who can fight can replenish their strength."

Now that the wounded are no longer cared for, it is necessary to keep the soldiers who can still fight to remain combat.

Although the captain of the brigade gave the order, the staff officer with a bloody face did not leave, and stood there to speak.

"Execute the order." Seeing that he was standing in place and did not move, the staff officer, the captain of the brigade, Hirayama Kei softened his tone a little and added: "The Xishan Brigade is already on the way to reinforcements, as long as we hold out until dawn, the wounded can be treated, so now it is the most important thing to maintain the combat effectiveness of soldiers who can fight, and whether they can hold out until dawn can only depend on them, so distributing food to them is also our only choice now."

"Captain, we didn't find a grain of grain in the village......" The devil staff officer explained when he saw that the captain of the group, Kei Hirayama, had misunderstood him.

"What? No food? Captain Hirayama's brows furrowed, this is not good news.

The devil's staff officer continued pessimistically: "We searched everywhere, but we didn't find a grain of grain."

Seeing the staff officer with a frustrated face, the face of the devil captain Hirayama Kei turned iron-blue, and he slammed his fist on the table and was furious: "These damn Shina people!"

The devil soldiers have become accustomed to the strategy of feeding the war by war, and when they go out to fight, most of the supplies are collected on the spot, except for some daily supplies.

When the devils cross the border, the pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks fed by the local people will be swept away every time, and the grain will also be plundered by the devils.

Sometimes the people will resist, after all, in this era, it makes no difference that taking food almost costs human life, and the fierce and violent devils are sometimes provoked to slaughter the village, and in order to cover up the evidence, they will burn the village to ashes and completely erase it from the map.

This is also the reason why many areas became empty after the war, because even the villages were burned and looted by the devils.

This area has become the preset battlefield of Yangling and them, so the villages near the highway have been evacuated in advance, and the walls have been cleared.

Now the little devil doesn't want to eat chicken, duck and fish, and he can't find a grain of food, which makes the captain of the devil brigade Hirayama Kei, who is retreating to the village and preparing to defend it, very angry.

Now that they have no food or drink, they are surrounded by the Chinese troops of the Northern Jiangsu Corps, and the captain of the brigade, Hirayama Kei, who thought that they could wait for reinforcements, suddenly found in despair that they would starve to death if they could not wait for reinforcements.

"You can't sit still!" This was the first thought of the captain of the devil brigade, Takashi Hirayama, after learning that there was no food in the village.

In the absence of food and the imminent exhaustion of ammunition, it is only a matter of time before such a broken village is guarded and annihilated.

Therefore, it is necessary to break through at night while the troops are still fighting power, otherwise when dawn, the Chinese officers and soldiers of the Northern Jiangsu Corps will pull the artillery over, and that will be their death date.

"Report to the captain, Chief Gaoyou Sanno has called back, asking my department to hold the line of defense and wait for reinforcements." At this time, the devil messenger ran out of the house and reported happily.

The captain of the devil brigade, Kei Hirayama, no longer has the idea of holding the defense, and now he is bent on breaking through and going back alive, so he has to admit the fact that he was defeated.

"Call back, our department was besieged by the main force of the Chinese Army, and the squadrons lost more than half of it, and it was difficult to support, so it has been decided to break through in the direction of Gaoyou, and I hope to send troops to meet the ......."

"Hey!" The Devil Messenger immediately turned around and ran back to the house where the telegram was sent.

The captain of the devil brigade, Kei Hirayama, was also preparing to gather his troops to fight a counterattack, maybe he could save the defeated situation, but now he can only go back alive and then explain.

"Immediately notify the troops, concentrate all the ammunition, and break through to the south in an hour!"

"Hey!" The devil's staff officer also knew that staying here was death, so he had no objection to the decision to break through.
