After listening to Cao Chang's story, the team leader understood what happened.

It turned out that when his three squads outflanked him, the cunning Shina people on the opposite side had all retreated, leaving only some traces of star blood and scattered bullet casings on the position, and not even a single figure could be seen......

And the three Cao Commanders who led the team couldn't help but be depressed when they saw that they hadn't caught a single soldier and were about to return in vain. Then I thought that now my troops were blocked on the road and could not advance for the time being. Thinking of this, as soon as the three Cao Chang discussed, they decided to take the troops and follow the bloodstains of the people of China to pursue it first.

Maybe if you're lucky, you'll catch up with the fleeing Shina people and build up your military merits. However, what the three Cao Chang didn't expect was that when he was chasing with his soldiers less than 30 meters, his soldiers stepped on the mines planted by the people along the way. It is said that it is a landmine, but in fact it is not, it is a treacherous mine arranged by the fighters with grenades. Thus, half of the casualties of the squad were thus photographed.

Without finding a single enemy, he lost half of his squad of troops, and the three Cao Changs were very annoyed. However, seeing that time was slowly passing, it seemed that the main force on the road was about to set off. The three Cao commanders could only report to their squad leader with the wounded stars.

In this way, when the soldiers dug up the road and constantly harassed the army along the way, although the army was all in cars. But after a day's march, it was still only less than 40 kilometers, and we stopped in a village 20 kilometers away from Xiazhuang Township, ready to set up camp, and continued the march the next day.

Similarly, the headquarters of the 3rd Brigade of Reading in Xiazhuang Township was also busy, and the soldiers were constantly going in and out of the headquarters to carry supplies. As for why they moved, everyone knew that in the face of the heavy encirclement and suppression of the army, they could only hide temporarily, avoid their edge, and slowly clean him up.

The next day, after a night's rest, the army was once again refreshed and in high spirits. The captain looked at the command of the Reading Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, which was getting closer and closer to him, and was extremely excited. At the suggestion of the chief of staff, the captain decided to divide his troops, surround the headquarters of the Chinese people, and eliminate the headquarters of the Chinese people in one fell swoop.

As a result, the marching form of the army changed. A reinforced squadron was divided on the left and right flanks, ready to outflank the retreat of the [***] team. And with the remaining troops and all the heavy weapons, he marched quickly along the main road to Xiazhuang Township, and caught the [***] team off guard.

Just when the captain of the army was complacent about his perfect plan, the headquarters of the 3rd Brigade of Reading Power in his dream had already left Xiazhuang Township and moved to the mountains behind the village.

A few hours passed, and the captain and his main force finally stood on a hillside not far from Xiazhuang Township, quietly looking at the quiet village in the distance.

"Report to Your Excellency Captain, Xiazhuang Township has been completely surrounded by our valiant imperial army, waiting for your order to attack." The chief of staff ran up to the captain and said.

The captain of the "Yo Xi" team picked up the binoculars and looked at the quiet village not far away. As it was close to evening, a few bunches of smoke were already wafting out of the village, quietly, like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

"Order, a squad launches a tentative attack on the village, find out the location of their heavy weapons." A smile appeared on the corner of the captain's mouth.

"Hey." The chief of staff turned around and began to assign tasks. After a while, the squad of soldiers, led by the squad leader, walked out of the formation with bayonets in their hands and trotted towards the quiet village opposite.

However, as the Temptation Team got closer to the village, the Captain didn't see the results he was looking for. Because, not far away, the first team has safely entered the quiet village under the leadership of its own team leader.

"Baga, what's going on? Isn't this the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army? Why is there no resistance? The captain yelled at the leader of the special agent team beside him.

"Taijun, captain, I don't know why? It wouldn't be that the Eighth Route Army knew the situation in advance and transferred! The special agent team replied with their heads bowed and fearful.

"Nani" stopped the Secret Service Captain's words, and the Captain fell into deep thought. After a while, the leader of the squad who was in charge of the attack ran out of the village.

"Report to Your Excellency, Captain, apart from dozens of villagers in the village who did not escape, there is not a single soldier in sight. According to the villagers' confessions, the Shina retreated with most of the villagers this morning. The squad leader ran up to the captain and said excitedly.

"Baga, the cunning Shina people ordered, gather all the villagers in the village, they must know where the Shina people fled to" Although the captain was angry, he thought of the countless ordinary people following the Shina soldiers, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Hi" the team leader saluted and ran towards the village again.

After a while, under the threat of the soldiers' bayonets, the dozens of remaining civilians in the village who were unwilling to leave were driven in front of the captain. I saw dozens of people in front of me who were afraid of their heads. The captain felt uncomfortable for a while. With a wave of his hand, a Han Jian translator walked out with a smile.

"Fellow villagers, this is Your Excellency, the captain of the county seat, I came to Xiazhuang Township today to eliminate the Eighth Route Army that has been hiding here for the past few days, but I didn't expect the Eighth Route Army to get the news in advance and escape, and I also took away most of the people. The captain was very unhappy. The captain knew that the Eighth Route Army had suffered a lot in the past few days. Therefore, today the captain has given a special order, as long as you can tell us where the Eighth Route Army and the villagers are hiding, the captain will give you a bounty of ten oceans, who knows, stand up and say"

"Report to Taijun, I know" As soon as the translator's words were finished, a landlord who had been suppressed by the Eighth Route Army hurriedly stood up.

"Yo Xi, your good people" The captain looked at the villagers who stood up, walked up to him with a smile, patted him on the shoulder, took out ten pieces of ocean from his pocket and handed it over.

"Thank you, Taijun, it's my honor to serve the imperial army." Seeing that the captain of the highest commander of the army actually gave himself ten silver dollars, and patted his shoulder, the yellow dog replied flatteringly, and lowered his head even lower.

"Yo Xi, yours, how do you know where the Eighth Route Army is hiding?" Although the captain secretly felt disgusted with the person in front of him, he still pretended to be flattering and asked if he was asked now.

"Report to Taijun, I was also transferred with the Eighth Route Army. However, thinking that Taijun would come, I secretly ran back. So, I know where they're hiding," the yellow dog replied with a smile.

"Yo Xi, your conscience is very good, when we eliminate the Eighth Route Army, our imperial army will definitely not forget you." The captain patted him on the shoulder again

Slowly through Huang Gouzi's explanation, the captain knew where there were nearly 800 people in two villages. There was a company of troops of the Eighth Route Army who was on the task of defending, and it was less than five hours away from him

After listening to the yellow dog's return, an idea to lure the fish to the bait appeared in the captain's mind.

"Chief of Staff, immediately lead the first pair to follow Huang Sang to find a hiding place for only the common people, and then eliminate a company of the Eighth Route Army of China and surround these villagers. I'll follow with the rest of the main force," the captain smiled, a triumphant smile on his lips.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Captain."

Soon, a reinforced squadron disappeared into the woods behind the village.

"Deputy Captain, order the main force to abandon the car, leave a squadron to guard the supplies, and all the remaining troops to set off immediately. Closely followed by the 1st Reinforced Squadron. The captain commanded again.

"Hey, Your Excellency Captain, I'm going to set it up, what should these villagers do?" The deputy captain pointed to the dozens of villagers in front of him.

"They already know what we're going to do, for the sake of this fight. We must do a good job of secrecy and wipe them all out, leaving no one alive. Moreover, all the Chinese we met along the way must be wiped out. The captain gave a cruel look.

"Hi" Soon, the remaining 1,000 troops of the main brigade were transferred into the woods behind the village under the personal leadership of the captain. And the captain had just walked for less than ten minutes. A piercing machine gun sound rang out in Xiazhuang Township. Dozens of unarmed civilians fell under the machine guns of the devils. The poor yellow dog still doesn't know that it was because he wanted to show loyalty to the imperial army that his entire family lost their lives.

"Company commander, company commander, it's not good, something happened, the devil is coming," said a sentry who hurried to the company commander despite the guard's obstruction.

"What, what are you talking about, devil" Hearing the word devil, the guard company commander immediately stood up.

"Yes, company commander, it's less than 10 taels from here."

"Have you seen clearly, how many devils are there?" The company commander asked, grabbing the sentry's shoulder.

"I can see clearly, company commander, it's really a devil, there are more than 200 people, carrying heavy machine guns, mortar rifles are all bayonets, I can see clearly, they are rushing towards the ravine where we are hiding"

"How can this be, how can the devil find here," the company commander muttered to himself, his face full of incredulity. You must know that the Eighth Route Army's secrecy work has always been very good, who betrayed himself and the villagers in the ravine and revealed the news.
