The cold wind in the winter night is biting, even if the devils are wearing thick cotton clothes, they can't resist the erosion of the skin and flesh by the cold wind, and their noses are blue from the cold.

The garden area in the east of Gaoyou City has been destroyed by the war, and the debris cleared by the devils has become a garrison camp, and the high walls around it are erected with barbed wire and machine guns, and those who dare to trespass will not be killed.

The beams of the searchlights were shining back and forth, and at this moment, in the open space in the camp, the black pressure was full of heavily armed devil soldiers, but they were silent.

All the devil soldiers wore thick cotton clothes, and the curtains hanging from the sides of their hats protected their ears, making them look indecent, but the unsheathed bayonets and fierce eyes of the ghost soldiers could not hide their murderous intent.

The devils gathered intensively at night, and the most important thing was to act covertly, and then give a thunderous blow to the negligent Chinese troops everywhere.

Although the devils are cruel and brutal, they have to admit that they are also a nation that is extremely good at learning, and large-scale corps operations are not suitable for the occupied areas.

Because those elusive guerrillas always change places with a single shot, and when the devil's troops rush over, they often pounce on the air.

But this time it was different, the location and number of troops of the Chinese army in the nearby area have been figured out, as long as they surround it unconsciously, then they can win.

The devil Taro Sano was standing under the hunting military flag, and in front of him was a large field of cold steel helmets, which glowed with cold light in the light of searchlights.

"Report to Your Excellency Detachment Commander, the Sixth Infantry Brigade has been assembled and requests to attack!"

Wearing a thick tweed coat and white gloves, the captain of the devil brigade, Hirayama Kei, stood still in front of the detachment leader Taro Sano, with sonorous steps, and stepped forward to ask for instructions.

"Pingshan Sang, Wuyun Changlong!" Major General Taro Sano picked up his glass from the tray next to him and raised it to Captain Taya Hirayama.

"Long live the Great Japanese Empire!" Captain Hirayama raised his glass, and after shouting, he raised his neck and drank all the wine in the glass.

After drinking, the captain of the brigade, Takashi Hirayama, raised his hand again and saluted Taro Sano, the commander of the major general's detachment, before turning to face his assembled troops.

"Attack!" The voice of the team leader Hirayama Kei was low and hoarse, mixed with the howling cold wind and reached the ears of the devil soldiers.

The more than 1,000 devil soldiers of the 6th Infantry Brigade gathered in the open space turned around in unison, and then drove out of the camp in four columns.

The captain of the devil's brigade, Keito Hirayama, turned on his horse, and soon followed the troops out of the city, surrounded by a group of officers.

On such an unusual night, Taro Sano, the leader of the devil's detachment, arrived at several troop assembly sites one after another to see off the troops on the expedition.

This time they attacked on all fronts, and the strength of the seven brigades was fully deployed, except for the artillery brigade stranded in Gaoyou, the other six brigades could be said to have poured out.

And Taro Sano's ambition is also very big, that is, he wants to eat more than a dozen targets in one bite, including the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps, the Sulu Guerrilla Corps, and the Sulu Deputy Theater Command.

Once these combat missions have been completed and the living forces of the Chinese resistance forces in these occupied areas have been eliminated, then he will be able to sweep across the whole of Jiangsu with a thunderous force to gain enough military merit to go further.

In the devil's investigation intelligence, Yang Ling's Northern Jiangsu Corps is not strong compared to the 89th Army and the Sulu Guerrilla Corps, which has eight guerrilla regiments.

Therefore, Sano Taro only sent a large force to attack Yangling's Northern Jiangsu Headquarters, and his main forces were concentrated in the direction of Taizhou and Xinghua, which he believed was where the main force of the Chinese army was.

But what the devil commander Taro Sano doesn't know is that it is precisely because of his contempt that he will pay a heavy price.

Although the devil soldiers of the Sano detachment were composed of some supplementary soldiers and baggage soldiers, they also received a lot of military training, so they still maintained good military discipline when marching at night.

Hirayama Kei led his brigade out of the city while it was dark, and then pounced along the road to the head of the border in the north of Gaoyou.

Because intelligence shows that the main force of the guerrilla corps in northern Jiangsu is gathered in the area of the head of the Jie, and what Hirayama is looking forward to is the decisive battle of the main force.

Captain Takashi Hirayama is the same as all the arrogant devil officers, what they hate most is to fight guerrilla warfare with the Chinese army, and what they yearn for is a head-on decisive battle.

Because they firmly believe that in the head-on main duel, they have enough firepower, even several times the Chinese army can be easily defeated, which is not only arrogant, but also confident enough in weapons and equipment.

But Yang Ling never wanted to pull out the main force to fight the little devil for a decisive battle, because he knew the power of the devil's heavy army group, so he wanted to play to his strengths and avoid his weaknesses.

He just wants to eat away at the devil's vital force through a little bit of consumption, drag the devil down, drag him tired, and then concentrate his strength to annihilate it, which is also the essence of guerrilla warfare.

"Report, the road ahead has been dug up by the Chinese army." Hirayama and the others were less than an hour's way out of the city, and the Spearhead Squad sent back a message.

The captain of the group, Hirayama Kei, was bound to be the leader of the realm, and when he heard that the road was cut off, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, how could he stop his pace with a mere means that could not be on the table.

"Captain, I'm afraid our battle plan has been leaked, do you want to retreat Gaoyou?"

When a devil staff officer heard that the road had been cut off, he had a vague bad premonition, and felt that the information of their attack might have been leaked, so he worriedly asked the captain Hirayama for instructions.

"No, order the troops to go around the field and go full speed towards the Boundary Head!" Captain Keizai Hirayama doesn't care if the information is leaked or not.

If the Northern Jiangsu Corps at the head of the realm had known the news, it would have been better to hear that he had led his troops north and took the initiative to give up the head of the realm, so that he could win without a fight.

If the Northern Jiangsu Brigade continued to stay at the head of the realm and resisted stubbornly, he wouldn't mind destroying them all.

"Tell me to go." Seeing that the herald was hesitating, Hirayama Kei waved his hand impatiently.

"Hey!"

Soon the devil herald passed the order, and the devils who braved the cold night to march left the road one after another and walked into the field, preparing to bypass the dug road.

Unfortunately, less than a few hundred meters after the devil troops bypassed the field and re-embarked on the road, they were angry to find that the road in front of them had been cut again.

"Get around!"

The leader of the spearhead squad flashed a flashlight, looked at the truncated ditch that was dug two meters deep and four meters wide, and didn't bother to ask the captain for instructions, almost gritting his teeth and ordering a detour.

The devil soldiers who acted as the spearhead were all elite, and their execution was particularly strong, and a squad of more than 10 people at the head of the spearhead immediately left the road, ready to walk in front to lead the way, and bypass it again.

"Ahh

But this time, it was no longer a tough field next to the road, but a rice field, and the rice field was already filled with water, and a devil's feet slipped and he was planted directly in the mud.

The sudden scream of this devil soldier frightened the rest of the devils as if they were facing a great enemy, and they all squatted on the spot, defending in eight directions back to back.

"Kobayashi-san, are you okay?" The leader of the devil's squad shouted with a flashlight to the paddy field next to the roadbed.

"It's okay, there's water in the field, I slipped......" The slippery devil stood up with a curse, already covered in mud.
