The Devil's attack force suffered heavy losses after being ambushed, and although the artillery fire followed closely and came up, the remaining Devils no longer had the strength to attack forward.

They were scattered in the piles of corpses and trenches, firing at the guerrillas who were about to move to the rear of the palace, and the bullets whistled back and forth, and the air seemed to burn.

The devil's artillery was very professional, and after ravaging the newly discovered guerrilla positions, they began to shoot extendedly, and the explosion of the shells produced a scorching heat that made the devils at the front eager to take off their thick cotton clothes.

More than 200 fresh troops quickly came up to take over the forward troops that had suffered heavy losses in ambushes, and launched a pursuit of the retreating Chinese guerrillas.

In the wilderness and farmland on both sides, there were also large groups of devils rushing forward almost parallel to the retreating guerrilla officers and soldiers, trying to block the guerrillas' retreat and carry out a roundabout outflanking.

But this area has long been full of traps and minefields, and all kinds of obstacles and hidden positions have long been guarded against the devil's trick.

"Ahh

"My feet!"

Many of the little devils who ran forward sometimes fell into the traps dug by the guerrillas as they ran.

These traps were made by guerrilla officers and soldiers who were once hunters, but the traps were slightly modified to become a little sloping.

The pits were not deep, only about 20 centimeters long, but they were filled with sharpened bamboo smeared with feces and other filth, and then covered with a layer of floating soil.

The devil stepped on it heavily in the process of running, so the sharpened bamboo with countless bacteria could easily penetrate the soles of the devil's feet, and then make the devil incapacitated.

Moreover, if the devil cannot be disinfected immediately, the devil's wound will become infected and fester, although these pits look inconspicuous, but they are a sharp weapon to kill the enemy.

Sometimes killing devils doesn't necessarily require killing them, and making them injured and ineffective is also a way.

Instead of being able to fight, the injured devils will increase their logistical burden and intensify the consumption of their medicines and other supplies.

Many of the ghost soldiers running in the wilderness have encountered these messy pits, and if they are not careful, they will be attacked.

Once you step into such a pit, you can puncture your shoes, stab your feet, fall off your feet, and lose the ability to continue fighting.

There are also some pits that are even more desperate, and the large pits dug with great effort are filled with water and mud, which are mixed into mud, and are covered with a layer of floating soil and weeds, which from a distance looks like ordinary wild land.

But once the devil is trapped, the mud more than two meters deep can swallow the devil soldier into it, and if the rescue is not timely, the devil will have to suffocate and drown.

"Boom!"

In addition to these pitfalls and mud pits, the mines buried in the ridges and paths have also become a nightmare for devils, and if you don't pay attention, your legs will be blown off and you will become crippled.

The seemingly safe area became dangerous in an instant, and after losing a few soldiers one after another, the devils had to slow down their speed and watch the guerrilla officers and soldiers disappear from their sight.

In the face of the sharply rising casualties under his command, the old face of the devil's captain Takashi Hirayama turned iron blue.

The promise that Taro Sano, who had promised the detachment leader Taro Sano, to take the town of Kaishou before dawn also turned into a joke.

"Send a report to the detachment commander: Our unit encountered stubborn resistance from the Chinese army, the enemy was prepared for war, the roads and bridges along the way were destroyed, and the cold gun attacks continued, our department fought hard all night, killed a lot of the Chinese army, and captured 15 positions, but the officers and men were exhausted, and asked for a delay in conquering the first ...... of the world."

The arrogant Devil Brigade Captain Hirayama Kei paid a heavy price for his rash advance, and in just twenty-four hours, the number of casualties was equivalent to a medium-sized battle at the beginning of the war.

Now that he couldn't figure out the strength of the Chinese officers and soldiers on the other side, he immediately adjusted his tactics, no longer desperately attacking the head of the line, but moving forward steadily, so he had to send a telegram to explain to the detachment commander.

Although Taro Sano, the commander of the devil's detachment, sent his troops to attack the Chinese troops gathered in various parts of the southern front at the same time, but the effect was not good.

By the time he received the telegram from the brigade commander, Tai Hirayama, he had already received telegrams from the attacking troops from several other directions.

Except for the troops who attacked in advance to conquer Nantong again, the other troops without exception all pounced, and the assembly point of the Chinese army learned in the intelligence was unexpectedly empty.

The cavalry brigade that was attacking Xinghua was ambushed by the Chinese army halfway and had to abandon the plan and temporarily retreat.

The originally well-thought-out plan was now executed, but the effect was greatly reduced, and the angry devil detachment leader Taro Sano was so angry that he threw several ear scrapers at the intelligence staff officer.

The aggrieved intelligence staff officer didn't know why this situation occurred, and in the end he had to shirk his responsibility and say that the battle plan had been leaked internally, which led to the current unfavorable situation.

"It must be those people who maintain the association, and they sent the information to the Chinese troops......" The old man with a swollen face said aggrievedly.

"Bastard! Rubbish! ”

Taro Sano, the leader of the devil's detachment, was already in a bad mood, and after the new intelligence staff officer's words, he was so angry that he almost pointed at the intelligence staff officer's nose and scolded.

The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and in the face of the current situation that has taken a sharp turn for the worse, the staff officers of all the devils are all suffering, who knew that the Chinese army would react so quickly.

"Immediately adjust the battle plan, change the sudden attack to a strong attack, and if you fail again this time, you will commit suicide to apologize!" Taro Sano, the captain of the devil's detachment, gave a murderous warning.

"Hey!"

The devil staff officers had no choice but to act again and readjust their battle plans to cope with the current sudden battlefield situation.

When the devil soldiers were almost empty everywhere, on the forward battlefield of the head of the realm, the victorious guerrilla brothers also successfully withdrew to the predetermined safe assembly point.

Although the brothers and the devil only fought for a few rounds, they won every time, and their flexible tactics and preset fortifications made the devil suffer a lot.

Almost every one of the brothers who rested from the front to the back carried several captured rifles on their backs, and some of them had a string of devils' water bottles hanging from them.

Now the guerrilla corps in northern Jiangsu has begun to sell weapons to supplement military supplies, and all the old equipment they have eliminated has been sold to those militia units and local units.

Now, in just one morning, the front-line troops have captured dozens of rifles and more than a thousand rounds of ammunition from the devils, which makes the reserves who remain behind red-eyed.

"It's all new 38 rifles, which are much better than the guns in our hands."

The local armed chiefs who had been organized to watch the battle on the battlefield saw bundles of captured rifles and rushed to take them for themselves.

But they also know that if they want to get these rifles, they must either buy them with guns, or they have the ability to grab them from the devils themselves.

"You have all seen it, the combat effectiveness of our guerrillas is not blown out, it is fought."

"What if the devils come to a reorganized brigade, we will still beat them to the ground, you just need to follow our Northern Jiangsu Corps, listen to orders and listen to commands, not to mention these rifles, when the time comes, the heavy machine guns can be equipped for you, which are stronger than the regular army."

Hearing the words of the guerrilla officers, the commanders of those militia units were on fire again.

"Sir, just say how to fight, we will all listen to you!" The commanders of the militia units could not wait to get their hands on the weapons.

"Okay, you all gather here, let me tell you, you are familiar with the local terrain, and your task is very simple, infiltrate behind the devils......"
