Although he knew that there was little hope, Yang Zhen still hoped that Ma Ming would appear in the lens of his telescope. As the sound of gunfire in the distance gradually subsided, facing the always empty shot, Yang Zhen's heart gradually became cold.

Just when Yang Zhen was still holding the last ray of hope in his heart, and was still holding a telescope to observe desperately, Peng Dingjie, who had been standing next to him and directing the wounded to cross the river, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Old Yang, the brothers have already crossed, let's withdraw too." ”

"The gunfire over there has subsided, and the devil will pounce soon. The gunfire over there was so dense that the devils even used cannons, I'm afraid Ma Ming and they are already more than lucky. We can't let Ma Ming's blood go to waste. ”

Hearing Peng Dingjie's persuasion, he put down the telescope in his hand, Yang Zhen nodded slightly and said: "I also know that there is little hope that they can return, but there is always a trace of illusion in my heart." This Ma Ming dared to stand up in times of danger and took the initiative to break the rear for the whole army. And with dozens of people alone, they have bought us such a long time, and we will be a tiger general in the future. Thousands of troops are easy to obtain, but one will be hard to find. ”

Yang Zhen sighed, but he listened to Peng Dingjie's persuasion and did not insist on waiting. Just withdrew like this, Yang Zhen was somewhat unwilling. Fortunately, he got dozens of mines from the bungalow, which Shiro Ishii was going to use to establish a quarantine area, as well as a lot of grenades from the puppet Manchu soldiers killed by Bi, which gave him a chance to show his skills.

Yang Zhen took two more clever brothers, and before the devil's pursuers arrived, he arranged more than a dozen tricky mines around the ferry. Even the two ferries that he deliberately left behind, he also cleverly set up a few tricks.

Seeing that Yang Zhen was changeable, there was no same, and even the places where the mines were laid were unimaginable by ordinary people, and Peng Dingjie, who was almost stunned by his changeable methods, looked at Yang Zhen in disbelief until Yang Zhen finished work and said, "Old Yang, how did you think of this?" What else would you not? How did you develop these things? ”

Regarding Peng Dingjie's exclamation, Yang Zhen, who was tying a grenade with bullets to the only small tree around here, looked a little lost and never answered him. It wasn't until I got on the boat that I said quietly: "How did you practice it?" If you knew how I did this, you wouldn't be this kind of sigh. ”

"Old Peng, you know what? There is a special kind of army in this world, and all they learn all day is how to kill people. How to exchange the least price for the greatest result. They are the killing machines specially cultivated by the army. ”

"The missions they carry out are usually top secret. On weekdays, their task is to sweep away the hidden dangers of national security. And when the two armies are at war, their role is to take the rank of general in the million-strong army. ”

"They are well-armed and armed to the teeth, and many of the weapons are beyond the imagination of even ordinary troops. They are proficient in all kinds of tactics and can even create murderous weapons out of something so ordinary that you can't imagine. ”

"The hardships of their training are unimaginable. A new military uniform was issued, and it was worn in less than a month, and it was not as good as being called Hanako. Three hundred and sixty-five days a year, they train all day except training. They don't know what rest is, and they don't know what relaxation is. In addition to carrying out tasks, the only thing they do is training, all kinds of training that ordinary people can't imagine. ”

"In their training, there are not only things that ordinary soldiers must master, but also many things that ordinary soldiers cannot imagine or even know. They are mysterious in the hearts of the common people, and they are omnipotent. ”

"This army is infinitely loyal to their motherland and people, they are the sharpest knife in the hands of the country and the army, and they are the most loyal Great Wall of the motherland and the people. Although the tasks they carry out are the most arduous and difficult tasks. In many cases, the bodies of those who died could not be recovered, or even publicly recognized by the government and the military. But they remain faithful. ”

"Of all the military skills they must master, this arrangement of treachery is but the simplest. Jungle warfare, street fighting, mountain warfare, explosives, hand-to-hand combat, shooting, communication, they are almost omnipotent. When you actually see their training one day, you know what kind of person they are. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Zhen looked up at the sky, and said with some melancholy: "It's a pity that the conditions are limited, these things can only give the devils a certain amount of damage, but they can't bring them greater casualties." If there is a special anti-infantry directional mine, it will be enough for the devils who catch up behind to drink a pot. ”

"There is such a force in this world, how come I have never heard of it? We have been dealing with devils for so many years, and we have never heard of devils having such troops. Not to mention the devils, even the big brother of the USSR has never heard of such troops? And what exactly is that anti-infantry directional mine you are talking about, which will be more powerful than the original mine of the devils here? ”

For Peng Dingjie's incomprehension, he has been relieved from his distraction, and when he saw Yang Zhen, who had arrived on the riverbank, he patted him and said: "If we have a chance to live, I will let you see it." But Lao Peng, I don't want the third person to know these words of mine today. ”

Standing on the east bank of the Ash River, looking at the mountains that had appeared on the horizon, and then looking back at the rolling waves behind him, it was the Ash River with the largest amount of water in the year, Yang Zhen's eyes turned to the distance where the gunshots had fallen silent, and sighed in his heart: "Ma Ming, will we meet again one day?" ”

Knowing that Ma Ming was afraid that the whole army had been wiped out, the devil's pursuers would arrive as soon as they spoke, and it would be difficult to get out if they didn't leave. Besides, these brothers under his command have been fighting and marching continuously since last night, and I am afraid that there is not much combat strength left. Yang Zhen, who didn't dare to stay, could only lead the rest of the people to the front line of Songfeng Mountain with some gloom.

Before he could walk five miles, Yang Zhen heard a series of explosions sounding from the place where he crossed the river. Knowing that this was a devil who was eager to pursue him, he stepped on those treacherous thunders that he had arranged, and smiled slightly. I know the power of those things I set up, and I should be able to stop the devil's pursuers for a while.

Moreover, at this time, except for the two ferries on the Ash River that he had deliberately left behind and had been arranged with treacherous mines, all the ferries were blown up and sunk after crossing the river by himself. There was no ferry, and by the time the devil brought in a boat from elsewhere, he should have already entered the mountain.

Yang Zhen's prediction was not wrong, after receiving the report of the escaped thugs, the cavalry squadron of the fifth garrison of the Japanese army and one or two companies of the puppet Manchu army that pursued over broke through Ma Ming's resistance after paying a lot of price, but under the killing and wounding of more than a dozen treacherous mines arranged by Yang Zhen, they suffered heavy casualties.

However, to Yang Zhen's surprise, the Japanese puppet army that pursued them paid more than the casualties suffered by Ma Ming's troops who blocked them under the deceit and thunder killings he arranged. The heavy casualties suffered by the pursuers, especially the Japanese pursuing troops, deprived the pursuers of the ability to fight continuously.

"Baga" looked at the soldiers who were killed and injured by the thunderstorm, and looked at the wreckage left behind by the two ferries that sank into the Ash River with a full sixty elite soldiers after the same explosion occurred in the middle of the river, and the cavalry squadron leader Ozawa Waner Shaozo, who led the pursuit, almost did not crush his full teeth.

Could it be that these thugs have a ticking time bomb? Otherwise, how could the boat have nothing to do when it went up, but it exploded in the middle of the river? How could these thugs have such advanced combat technology? The garbage of the Kwantung Army's Epidemic Prevention and Water Supply Department was a bunch of rice buckets, and they were taken up by a group of bandits, not to mention, and they also threw away such advanced weapons.

As a captain of the independent Fifth Garrison of Harbin, after graduating from the Army Non-commissioned Officer School, Ozawa, who had worked in the intelligence agency for many years, naturally knew the inside story of the matter. In his mind, there was no way that the bandits would possess or build such an advanced weapon as a time bomb. It must have been seized by the Kwantung Army's Epidemic Prevention and Water Supply Department.

At this time, the river water volume is at its highest in the year, and the speed at which the two ferries that exploded sank made it impossible for him to even rescue them. watched as sixty elite Imperial soldiers sank to the bottom of the river.

And beside him, he was distressed because his subordinates were fighting with the blocking troops left by those thugs and suffered heavy casualties, and he didn't know how to go back and deal with his boss, the battalion commander of the puppet Manchurian army, saw these Japanese soldiers who were still arrogant just now, and sank into the river in a blink of an eye to feed the fish, and in his heart he couldn't help but secretly cry out in his heart, "If it weren't for the Japanese army stealing the merit this time, this unlucky person would be himself." ”

Although his subordinates suffered many casualties when they stepped on the mines left by the bandits, they were much better than the Japanese, who lost their main force all at once. But at least half of his men and horses are still left, and he lost almost all of his subordinates at once, and this young man who has almost become the commander of the light pole can be regarded as so strong that he doesn't know how much he knows. When I go back, I can hand over the errand to the brigade commander.

However, when the battalion commander of the puppet Manchu army shouted in his heart that he was lucky, he couldn't help but gloat a little. Who told that just when they were destroying the resistance of those bandits, the Japanese fucking knew to force themselves to charge, and they stayed behind as a warlord.

After the battle, although the bandits who were damned and didn't know whether they were alive or dead were wiped out, his brothers also suffered nearly a company of casualties. Now you deserve it, you deserve it. Let you force Lao Tzu to rush, and you will be a team of supervisors leisurely behind. When Lao Tzu's brothers have eliminated the thugs who blocked the attack, you will step forward to take the lead. Now it's your turn to taste what pain is.

Of course, the battalion commander of the puppet Manchu army, who was secretly gloating, would never dare to express his thoughts on his face, and he did not have the courage to stab the Japanese in the sore spot at this time. Although his military rank is major, he is said to be the same rank as the Japanese major officer. However, according to the Japanese army's tradition of seeing that the Manchukuo Army was promoted by at least three ranks, regardless of rank, and that it was all under the command of the Kwantung Army in wartime, his gold content as a major was probably inferior to that of a Japanese second lieutenant in front of the Japanese.

In case the Japanese officer saw something on his face, I'm afraid he wouldn't mind dropping the saber in his hand directly on his neck. He had seen with his own eyes a Japanese lieutenant publicly chop a lieutenant colonel battalion commander who was not good at fighting against the Anti-Japanese Alliance, but he didn't even have a big fart at all. He didn't want to be the unlucky second person.

However, the gloating of the commander of the puppet Manchurian battalion did not last long. When I saw Ozawa's somewhat creepy eyes, I immediately understood the intentions of this Japanese soldier Shaozo, who was nominally cooperating but was actually the commander.

The battalion commander, who understood that the Japanese Shao Zuo wanted to let him continue the pursuit, but he really didn't want to, and he didn't dare to chase down, hurriedly said: "Your Excellency Shao Zuo, you see how big the Ash River is now, and it can't be crossed at all." We didn't have a ferry for a while, so we couldn't cross the river at all. ”

"We came in a hurry, and we didn't bring any bridging tools. There isn't even a tree around you except for this small tree that is not as thick as an arm's arm. We can't even do anything about building bridges temporarily. Let's see if you send a telegram to Ah Cheng, asking them to send a few boats over first, and they are thinking of a way? ”

When Xiao Zewan'er, who was almost caught up by his subordinates, and was in a violent situation, Xiao Ze Wan'er, who barely controlled zhì and didn't have a seizure, heard his words, and his first impression was that this Zhi Na was playing tricks with himself.

Ozawa Shaozuo, who was completely enraged by the words of the commander of the puppet Manchurian army, pulled out his saber and put it on his neck and said angrily: "Yaga, your conscience is greatly broken. By the time Ah Cheng's ship arrived, those bandits had already run away without a trace. You coward, were you scared out of your guts by those bandits? ”

Looking at the saber around his neck, the commander of the puppet Manchurian battalion trembled with fright, and hurriedly explained: "Your Excellency Shaozuo, you must be angry. It's not that I don't serve the Imperial Army, but as you can see, there is really no way to wade through such a big water. ”

"But don't worry, it's still the same sentence, as soon as you find a way to cross the river, I will pursue it immediately. It was still more than ten miles away from entering the mountains, and they were all marching on foot. We are cavalry, and we will definitely be able to catch up. I promise you, if you catch up with them, I'll wipe them out. ”

Listening to his words, Ozawa looked back at the surface of the Ash River, which is hundreds of meters wide in summer. Not to mention wading, even if you want to build a bridge, it is impossible to rush and roar the river, and put down the saber in your hand decadently.

After being unwilling to pay such a big price inexplicably, Ozawa Waner, who ran away from his mouth and the prey, sent his boss that his troops had suffered heavy casualties, and at the same time continued to pursue the operation because the Ash River was blocked, and there was no ferry and could not cross the river, and after requesting the Pearl River to send an elite interception telegram, he didn't know how to go back and handed over to his superiors, and vented all his anger on the small tree with thick arms beside him.

Just as Ozawa's saber slashed viciously on the small tree, there was a loud sound at the same time as the small tree breaking, which completely freed him from the distress of how to go back and report to his superiors. This loud bang blew up the entire upper body of the angry Ozawa Waner Shaozo.

However, he was not the only one who was unlucky, and the Type 38 rifle bullets that flew everywhere with this loud noise sent the signal soldier who was about to send a telegram to the west after receiving his order from his side, and the battalion commander of the puppet Manchu army, who had been by his side.

The remaining Japanese puppet soldiers saw their two commanders being blown up inexplicably, and they didn't dare to stay. Dragging the corpse of the chief, they crawled and fled from this unfortunate place in their eyes. As for the bodies of the sixty Japanese soldiers who fell into the river to feed the fish, no one dared to stop here to salvage them.
