Chapter 1019: Artillery Brigade
On the highway south of the boundary head, a convoy of devils like a long dragon is parked on the road, a large number of devils with guns are scattered on both sides of the road in the fields on guard, and machine guns are also set up at some dangerous commanding heights.
The commander of the artillery brigade under the Sano detachment, Nishihara Tengo Shaosa, was ordered to lead the artillery brigade from Takayou to the north to support the Hirayama Infantry Brigade that was blocked by the attack.
Unfortunately, the road to Baoying has been completely destroyed by the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps, and a huge horizontal ditch will be dug almost every one or two hundred meters and filled with water.
Faced with such a crumbling road, the convoy towing heavy mountain artillery had to send sappers to repair the dug roads for the convoy to pass.
However, the destructive power of the guerrilla corps in northern Jiangsu was too great, and the devil's sappers had been repairing for a whole day, but their convoy had only advanced less than 10 kilometers.
However, the Nishihara Brigade could not throw the convoy down, because they were already an artillery unit, and if they could not transport the artillery to the front line, it would be equivalent to losing the food.
Although the speed of progress was slow due to the severe damage to the road, they had to move forward patiently step by step.
In order to speed up the rush repair, the Xiyuan Brigade specially sent some troops to the surrounding villages to arrest the people to help.
Although the local people were evacuated in the hurry of the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps, there were still some people who hid because of nostalgia for their homeland and did not follow the retreat to the north.
These people who were hiding watched the officers and soldiers of the Northern Jiangsu Corps who came to evacuate and evacuate leave, and then they came out of the hiding place, thinking that they would be safe.
But what I didn't expect was that the village was soon surrounded by devils with guns, and everyone who could move around was driven here to help repair the road.
"I don't think the little devils are as bad as those guerrillas say, let's build the road and take care of the food."
These people, who were reluctant to evacuate north to open their homeland, kept filling bags of sand into the dug ditch under the watchful eye of the devils, talking as they could.
"I think so, that Taijun rewarded me with a candy just now." Another farmer with a sandbag said with some pride.
When the people carrying sandbags around heard this, they all swallowed saliva in their throats, they were all poor people, how could they afford to eat candy on weekdays.
Because the nutrition of the devil army is balanced, the soldiers of the army can receive these candies on time to replenish the elements of physical fitness.
"What does it smell like?" The people around showed envious glances.
"Look at what you asked, it must be sweet, but it's sweet, it's much sweeter than honey." The speaker licked his lips unsatisfactorily.
"Don't look at me, work hard for Taijun, maybe you will be rewarded with one for each person at that time." The man who ate the candy smiled and comforted these envious villagers.
"What's so delicious about devils' things, only traitors eat devils' things!" As the men were talking, a discordant voice came from the side.
"You can't eat grapes and say grapes are sour, right?" The man who had eaten the candy turned his head and said in a strange way.
"Phew, dog traitor!" It was a young man who spoke, carrying a bag of dirt on his shoulder, a dissatisfied, handsome face full of disdain.
"Zhang Dagen, are you looking for a fight?!"
Seeing this young man provoke himself so much, the man who had eaten the candy suddenly turned dark, threw the sandbag on his shoulder to the ground, and was about to roll up his sleeves and go up to beat people.
And the young man faced the strong man who was walking towards him with a face full of flesh, although a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, but he stood firm and did not flinch.
"Yaga, your... Do?! Just as the brawl was about to break out, several devils in charge of overseeing the work came over with guns.
Seeing the devil soldier holding the bright bayonet in his hand, although the two sides who didn't look at each other blew their beards and stared, they didn't dare to make another mistake.
"Taijun, it's okay, it's okay." Seeing that the devil was going to intervene, neither side dared to act rashly, if it annoyed the devil, it was not a joke.
"You're here!" The devil soldier didn't want to make trouble, and when he saw that everyone was scattering, he turned around and left with two loud warnings.
"Zhang Dagen, you kid will wait for me, see how I clean you up when I go back!" The rough strong man waited until the devil soldiers left, and glared fiercely at the young man who was dissatisfied with him.
"Who's afraid of whom?!" Although the young man is handsome and looks weak, he is-for-tat and does not show weakness.
And such a small episode that broke out among the people who were driven to repair the highway was seen by the captain of the devil artillery group Nishihara Tengo and a group of officers standing on the road.
"The people of China always like to fight in the nest, and they still don't like each other, which is really the sorrow of the China nation." A sharp-eyed staff officer shook his head with some regret.
"Although it is the sorrow of the Chinese people, but it is our opportunity, let the cowardly Chinese people go to the internal fighting, if the internal fighting is dead, they do not deserve to have such a vast land, and this place will eventually become belonging to the Yamato nation." The corners of the mouth of the Devil Artillery Brigade Captain Nishihara Tengxiong hooked up with a sneer.
"The captain is wise, then let the people of China fight among themselves, and the victory will eventually belong to us." The devil staff officer smiled and patted his ass, and the officers around him all nodded in agreement.
One of the reasons why they look down on the Chinese is that the Chinese cannot unite, so they are defeated and retreated.
"Nakamura-san, the reward for candy should continue, it can enhance the efficiency of the people of China to repair the road, but the lazy will also be punished." The captain of the devil artillery group, Tengo Nishihara, commanded a devil captain next to him.
"Hey!" The devil captain next to him bowed heavily and agreed.
"Report, Chief Sano's telegram!" At this moment, a devil communication soldier strode over, stood in front of the captain of the brigade, Nishihara Tengo, and handed over a telegram.
The eyes of the surrounding devil officers all took back from the Chinese people who repaired the road, and looked at the telegram in Nishihara Tengxiong's hand, wondering what was going on.
Tengo Nishihara, the captain of the devil's artillery group, quickly read the message, and after reading the message, he snorted coldly and handed the message to the officers around him to read it.
"The Hirayama Infantry Brigade is so incompetent, it's simply a shame for my Imperial Japanese Army! I asked for help again and again! Captain Nishihara Tengo cursed with some indignation.
The Hirayama Brigade kept asking them for help, which made them overwhelmed, and finally simply ignored the Hirayama Brigade's telegrams.
Taro Sano, the detachment leader who is now in charge of Gaoyou, sent a telegram, saying that he had lost contact with the Hirayama Brigade, urging them to immediately move closer to the Hirayama Brigade, which made Nishihara Tengo very unhappy with the Hirayama Brigade.
Originally, it was very warm for them to stay in Gaoyou, but in order to support the Pingshan brigade, they had to march against the cold wind, which made them full of complaints, and it was really a shame that they couldn't beat a boundary capital and needed reinforcements.
"Captain, will something happen to the Pingshan Brigade?" There was a devil officer with a telegram and a bad premonition.
"When was the last time we contacted them?" Captain Tengo Nishihara asked.
"Last night in the middle of the night." The devil staff officer replied.
Hearing the answer of the devil's counselor, Nishihara Tengxiong also felt a sigh in his heart and realized the seriousness of the problem.
