"Eight Geyalu, the conscience of the people of China is dead." Takeda Nobuyoshi rounded the command knife in his hand and slashed hard, and with a click, a section of the thick trunk of the teacup broke in response. When Tangcheng attacked the Japanese army in Huandiqiao Town, they never expected that this Japanese squad was equipped with a radio, and the wounded Japanese soldiers after the two ambushes did not mention this matter, and when Tangcheng launched an attack on Huandiqiao Town, the Japanese radio soldiers in the town had already sent a signal for help.

Lao Dongbei was extremely glad that the fire he escaped was a cover made by the Japanese radio soldiers to destroy the radio station, and then Lao Dongbei searched the fire site and found no radio parts in the ashes. Takeda Nobuyoshi, who got the news, personally commanded a squadron of Japanese troops to rescue Huandiqiao Town, but unfortunately he was still a step late, and when Takeda Nobuyoshi arrived at Huandiqiao Town, Tangcheng They had already left for more than ten hours.

"Chase, catch up with them, and kill them all." A frustrated Takeda Nobuyoshi gave the order, and the vanguard team immediately set off in pursuit in trucks and three motorcycles, and Takeda Nobuyoshi and the rest of his troops followed after the spearhead spotted the enemy. The trucks and motorcycles were much faster than their big cars in Tangcheng, and it was not yet lunchtime, and after experiencing the initial wrongful road, the front team of the Japanese army who was heading south had already discovered the place where Tangcheng had taken Zhang Tong off the carriage.

"They have changed their route from here, and the spearmen have been chasing them for a long time" There were a large number of devils gathered next to the mountain road, and Gohara Xiangcheng, who was known as a tracking expert, personally came to the side of the mountain road to supervise the pursuit of those scattered soldiers. Now how to track down the scattered soldiers who left the town of Huandiqiao or kill them has become the most important task of the Japanese army in Huangshi, especially some of the second-line garrisons of the Japanese army that have no combat mission, this is their only military operation mission at present, the soldiers who came out of the front followed the traces left by the cart and pursued all the way, and after finding two dug ground in succession, one of them has been dug up by these Japanese soldiers. "They should have stopped here and looked at what's in the ashes." Cao Chang, who led these spearheads, was very experienced in finding a charcoal-like lump from the ashes, putting it in his mouth and biting it open, and the conclusion he obtained confirmed his suspicion that it was a dry cake that had accidentally fallen into the campfire.

The two pits dug in succession were filled with ashes from the burning of the campfires, and the ashes buried under the turf were already cold, so the pursuers could only tell that someone had stayed there, but they could not deduce when the person left left. "Mark them for the captain, and we'll keep chasing." Cao Chang, who led the team, got up and looked left and right at the terrain, and ordered the top soldiers to continue the pursuit on motorcycles.

According to the information obtained from the town, the scattered soldiers who left the town were driven by carts, and they also had a large number of wounded soldiers, so that they would not move too fast. Only 4 of the 9 carts that left the town were horse-drawn carts, and the rest were ox carts, and the more than 30 Shina skirmishers plus those trophies made the carts work at most half as fast on weekdays, so as long as they found the right direction and path, it was only a matter of time before they caught up with those Shina stragglers.

The pursuers were fortunate enough to chase down the rutted road for only a few miles, and the pursuers unexpectedly found a grave. Surrounded by bare fields, there were no homes or villages in sight, and such a grave suddenly appeared, and Cao Chang, who led the team, had to order his soldiers to dig up this lonely grave. There were no tombstones, no coffins, and there was only one corpse in the lonely grave that was dug up by the Japanese soldiers, a corpse wearing the uniform of the national army.

Using a bayonet to pick open the military uniform on the corpse, Cao Chang, who commanded the top soldiers, found a bandaged wound on the corpse. Forcefully stabbing the bayonet in his hand into the corpse's arm, Cao Chang quietly observed the blood flowing from the knife, according to the speed at which the blood seeped out of the knife, he judged that the corpse would not die for more than 3 hours, after all, the corpse's blood had not completely coagulated.

"Lai Chuan, you go back and tell the captain immediately, ask them to speed up, and say that we have discovered the whereabouts of the stragglers." Cao Chang, who had put down his bayonet, could already conclude that the corpse belonged to the group of stragglers. The Japanese soldier named by the leader Cao Chang did not say a word, and drove a motorcycle to the road from which he came. The discovery of the corpses of the Shina soldiers meant that the group of Shina stragglers they were pursuing had stopped here, and it would take a lot of time to dig a grave.

"It seems that they didn't go far, let's continue to chase," Cao Chang, who had put away his bayonet, looked at his surroundings as usual, and then immediately gave an order. According to their own inference of the time of death of the corpse, the group of Chinese stragglers who stayed here to bury the body left here for a maximum of three hours, the cart traveled for a maximum of more than ten miles in three hours, and the three-wheeled motorcycle they drove could catch up with the Chinese stragglers in only one hour.

After receiving the news from the vanguard team, Takeda Nobuyoshi was also overjoyed, and immediately ordered a team to stay in Huandiqiao Town, and the remaining soldiers immediately took trucks south to pursue and support the vanguard team. Knowing that the rear team had also set off, Gohara Xiangcheng, who commanded the vanguard team, immediately adjusted the deployment of the squad, and the strength of a squad followed Lai Chuan, who came back to report the news, to support the forward soldiers, and the rest of the soldiers fell within a mile of the forward soldiers under his personal command.

Tang Cheng, who left Huandiqiao Town at night, did not know that the Japanese army had sent chasing soldiers from Huangshi, and the corpse of the national soldier found by the Japanese army's vanguard soldiers was a defeated soldier under Wu Chuang's men who was seriously injured and died. Although Tang Cheng recruited a doctor in Huandiqiao Town and emptied the Western medicine in Yao Ji's pharmacy, the national army who was seriously injured was too seriously injured, and the wound in his abdomen was festering due to inflammation, and the thick juice from the wound had even infected the internal organs. In order to prevent the wounded soldier from being tortured by the wounded soldier again, Wu Chuang, who had nothing to do, personally pierced the wounded soldier's heart with a knife, and the only thing Tang Cheng and the others could do was to stop and build a grave for him.

According to Lao Dongbei's idea and Tang Cheng's consistent style, it was completely unnecessary to stop and spend more than half an hour to build a grave, there were more people who died on the battlefield, and I didn't see them have a grave to bury their bones. But in the face of the red-eyed Wu Chuang and Qian Erxi, Tang Cheng only nodded and agreed, it was difficult to turn his face with Wu Chuang and them for this matter, and finally everyone had to part ways and be broken by the Japanese army. Tang Cheng had no way to refuse, so he had to speed up the march after re-entering the road, but there were still a dozen wounded on the cart, and the bumps after the speed made those wounded soldiers miserable.

Stop-and-go finally tossed to a place called Da Chong Ao, and everyone who hurried overnight, including Tang Cheng, couldn't hold on. "Let's rest for two hours, the stone and the monk group, the glasses and I group serve as the surrounding guard, the rest of the people sleep, and the lightly injured pay attention to the surrounding movements." The branches cut down along the road were enough to provide cover for Tang Cheng and them, and they used those branches to simply camouflage the cart, and Tang Cheng and their two groups of guard posts separated one after the other and hid 300 meters away from the convoy.

"You sleep first, and then change me in an hour." Tang Cheng took Tan Fei, whom he called glasses, to find a mound with a wide field of vision, on which Tang Cheng could see far away with a telescope. Tan Fei is not a veteran like Lao Northeast, and he can't fall asleep with his head down, so he can only endure the cold wind on the mound and pretend to sleep with his eyes closed. Tang Cheng on the mound did not pay attention to the way he came, he also used a telescope to observe the movement in the direction of Chen Guizhen, because the south of Dachong Pass is about 10 miles at most is Chen Gui Town, Tang Cheng has never been to Chen Gui Town, he only knew from the map of the captured Japanese army that there is a place of Chen Guizhen, according to the scale on the map, Chen Gui Town is only 10 miles away from Dachong Ao. Chengui Town is the same as Huandiqiao Town, although its population is not as good as Huandiqiao Town, but Tang Cheng knows that the Japanese army will not give up such a place, and there may be Japanese troops guarding or stationing the Imperial Cooperative Army in Chengui Town. It is precisely because of this that Tang Cheng will come down and stay in Dachong Pass for two hours to regain everyone's energy, in case there is a Japanese puppet army in Chengui Town, it will be another fierce battle.

The real night's anxiety made Tang Cheng extremely tired at this time, turning his head to look at Tan Fei, who was already asleep, Tang Cheng could only cheer up and continue to observe the movements around him, but he didn't know that it was his strong fighting spirit that would save the lives of himself and Wu Chuang. When the faint sound of the motor came into his ears, Tang Cheng on the mound was already drowsy, and the sound of the motor in the distance made Tang Cheng immediately lose his sleepiness.

Tang Cheng, who held up the binoculars, only glanced in the direction of the road, and was immediately upside down by the horrified hairs, and three partial three-wheeled motorcycles dragging Huang Chen behind his buttocks appeared in Tang Cheng's sight. Tang Cheng is no stranger to partial three-wheeled motorcycles, when he was in Shanghai, Tang Cheng saw this kind of thing in the Japanese concession more than once. According to the calculation of three people on a three-wheeled motorcycle, there were at least nine Japanese soldiers on the three three-wheeled motorcycles that appeared in the telescope.

"Glasses, you go and call Lao Dongbei over to me, by the way, ask him to bring two light machine guns, and grenadiers too, and then inform Wu Chuang to arrange for the soldiers to find a suitable place to hide the convoy, so that they are ready to leave at any time." Tang Cheng was not naïve enough to think that these Japanese soldiers with motorcycles were here for an outing, and there were no big villages on the way from Dachong Pass to Huandiqiao Town, and the only explanation was that these Japanese soldiers may have chased them from Huandiqiao Town.
