The sound of gunfire on the left and right was endless, but Takada Sugeo and his party had no intention of stopping at all.

Once they had reached the location of the standard number "3", the group followed a route drawn on the map and headed straight southeast. This group of devil elites are all good at walking mountain roads, and they always maintain a distance of about three meters between them, and with the faint light that flickers from time to time on the battlefields on the left and right, they can just maintain the continuity of the team.

At about half past four, they appeared at the place marked "6" a thousand meters east of the back row, and then they stopped, and it took about five minutes to find a place where the weapons were buried, and from it they took out a full set of equipment for the Cadet Army.

This arrangement was the work of Sugio Takada, who had buried six boxes in the middle of the night four days earlier, disguised as local fishermen with a dozen men disguised as local fishermen. There were a total of thirty-five of them, and there were six sets of standard equipment for the Cadet Army here. These equipment were requested by Yamada Joji from Gangmura Ningji. The latter originally wanted to send these equipment back to the base camp as trophies for merit, but after listening to Yamada's proposal, he felt that there was a lot to be done in this matter, so he allocated six sets of equipment that were quite neat and tidy for the cadet army.

From the perspective of a professional soldier, when he saw the field uniform of the cadet army for the first time, Sugio Takada was "fascinated". He said to his colleagues at the time: "Although I look down on the Chinese people, I have to admit that the practicality of their uniforms is better than that of the imperial army." From this point of view, it is not for nothing that the Cadet Army can not fall behind in the confrontation with the Imperial Army. ”

He personally selected five people, changed into the field uniforms of the school soldiers, and then whispered to another captain who led the team: "Ono-kun, please be careful to keep a distance from us in advance, don't make a mistake!" ”

Ono was Sugeo Takada's deputy in this operation, and when he heard this, he nodded and said, "Your Excellency, please rest assured, we won't be mistaken!" ”

"Not far ahead, it is about to plug the north bank, the student army must have heavy troops here, if we want to enter the south bank, we must not be exposed here, so, if anyone accidentally exposes their identity! So, please don't blame me for being ruthless! After taking care of Ono, Takada warned the other five devils who were disguised as student soldiers. In the night, one of his eyes scorched with a cold light, so that the five people did not dare to look at each other.

The five people were submissive, and soon, Gao Tian's soldiers were divided into two divisions, Gao Tian personally led five "pseudo-school soldiers" to open the way in front, and Xiao Ye Qiangsheng and the others still followed the original queue after more than ten meters to follow. Under the cover of night, this group of devils soon disappeared again in the vast mountains and wilderness of Cotton Boat Island.

On the north bank of Madang Fortress, the main fortress body was set up on the breach dam, and on this high land, which can only be called a small dirt slope, the Nationalist Government authorities poured four bunkers, which became Fort A, Fort B, Fort C, and Fort Ding, each fort set up a small fort, and there were shooting holes on both sides of the fort, which could ensure that four shooters could shoot at the same time. The four forts figured out through the underground cement passage, among them, because the internal space of the C fort is large, and it is located in the encirclement of the three forts of A, B and Ding, so He Zhengjiang will set up the headquarters here.

If the three brigades of the Third Division and one regiment of each of the chariot units and artillery units were stationed on Mianchuan Island, although it would not be said that they could defend Mianchuan Island without leakage, at least on the side of the Plugged body, there would be no problem in operating it as solid as possible.

Of course, because the troops on Cotton Boat Island now have only one regiment of the 7th Brigade and 2 regiments of the 8th Brigade, after the 304th Regiment of the 8th Brigade was sent to the Fortress, there was actually only one battalion-sized fortress force left on the Fortress side and the 306th Regiment.

After the news was transmitted back to the headquarters of the Third Division, He Zhengchuan, who was already annoyed by Bai Tassel's disregard for the order, couldn't sit still. He discussed the war situation with the political director Zhang Xiaolian, and thought that unless the White Tassel Department immediately retreated to Mianchuan Town, then they would be in danger of being surrounded.

The Battle of Madang was fought on the scale it is now, and the losses of one regiment and two regiments are actually nothing, but, considering the identity of Bai Tassel, they really dare not take it lightly.

He Zhengchuan immediately called Bai Tassel in person, but the call was answered by Zhang Cunbao. To his relief, this time Bai Tassel didn't make any more demon moths, she not only led her troops to safely withdraw to Cotton Boat Town, but also fought a beautiful ambush battle in the east of the town.

Zhang Cunbao is Zhang Xiaolian's brother of the same clan, because of this, He Zhengchuan invited Zhang Xiaolian to say again, and praised Zhang Cunbao a few words, and said: "Cunbao is good, I know how to maintain Brigade Commander Bai." The north and east of the town are well guarded, and the second line of defense of Cotton Boat Town should hold on for a little longer, so that we can arrange it calmly. Well, the ceiling can add a little more people there, although there is a minefield in the east, but you can't help but guard against the little devils coming around from the river. ”

"Send an extra platoon. The ceiling bulging fortifications had not suffered much damage in previous shelling raids, and if used properly, this platoon could be used as a company. Wang Keleng fought a good defensive battle, and if one with one platoon, there should be no problem if the Japanese army did not attack on a large scale. ”

He Zhengchuan and Zhang Xiaolian were discussing the defense of the ceiling, but they didn't know that there was a problem in the ceiling. The significance of the existence of the ceiling convex defense force is to prevent the sneak attack of the Japanese army. Therefore, Wang Keleng, who has rich defensive experience, specially organized three patrol teams, one team every ten minutes, to patrol and guard from the ceiling to the old Lianzhou by the river. And between the ceiling and the Wu family's high house on the breach dam, he only arranged two roadside sentinels.

The location where Sugio Takada chose to break through was this roadside outpost.

The change cycle of the roadside guard is two hours, and it is no coincidence that when Takada Sugio and the others touched the approach, it happened that the roadside guard had just changed guards.

Takada Sugio swaggered in front of the two cadets at the roadside sentry with five pseudo-apprentices, and the two apprentices were very vigilant, and they raised their guns and shouted: "Password!?" ”

Takada Sugio didn't know what the password was, he just stood still and shouted: "Which unit is the brother on the other side, we are from the Seventh Brigade, please inform your commander, the town of Cotton Boat has been lost!" ”

The news he revealed was sensational, and the two cadet sentries were immediately shocked, and one asked, "What?" Lost Cotton Boat Town? ”

"The troops were scattered, and we were the first to withdraw - brother, didn't you change your password today?" Sugeo Takada speaks Chinese very well, but there is a problem, because he learned it in the Northeast, so it has a strong taste of the old knots in the Northeast.

The composition of the Seventh Brigade was all from North China, and a more vigilant student soldier immediately realized this problem. He narrowed his eyes and said, "The password hasn't changed, then, please go back—uh!" Before he could finish his sentence, his mouth was covered by a hand that stretched out from behind, and then, he only felt a chill in his heart, and then, his eyes went dark.

The other student had a similar fate - they turned around at the same time and faced Sugio Takada, just giving the devils behind a chance to sneak attack. The two young sentries were stabbed to death with bayonets before they could even kill or wound a devil in this battle, leaving them with their eyes wide open and unwilling to look at them until death.

Assassinating two sentinels, Sugio Takada looked at his watch: 4:53 a.m. Then he looked at the east again, and the east was already white.

He said: "We don't have much time, next, let's go to the Wu family's house!" If the information is correct, Ouyang Yun is in the Wu family's mansion. ”

Although the Cadet Army has a reputation for severely punishing traitors, this has not stopped the emergence of those traitors who are born with cheap bones.

The reason why Sugio Takada was able to bury spare equipment near the back row smoothly before was because of the help of traitors. And the information they got that the general headquarters of the Beishang Army was in the Wu family's mansion was also provided by traitors. Of course, what Sugio Takada didn't know was that the information they had obtained was wrong.

Ouyang Yun hadn't even crossed the river, so how could the headquarters of the Northbound Legion be located in the Wu family's mansion?

And the reason why that traitor misjudged was because when He Zhengchuan touched Cotton Boat Island, he had worked in the Wu family's mansion for two days. The current Wu family's mansion is not a headquarters at all, but just a barracks, and nearly a battalion of cadets lives in it.

The sky is getting brighter, and the students who are used to getting up early and exercising early have already gotten up one after another, and soon, the courtyard of the Wu family's mansion has become lively. When Takada Sugeo appeared on the road one hundred and ten meters away from the gate of the Wu family with seven pseudo-scholars, a team of about thirty or so students ran out in two columns.

Sugio Takada narrowed his eyes and carefully observed for a few seconds, and came to the conclusion: "That's right, this is the headquarters of the Cadet Army!" Have you noticed, their military appearance is very neat, not like ordinary cadets? ”

"Your Excellency, what should I do?" A ghost soldier asked, Xu found that there were more students on the other side, and he looked a little nervous.

Gao Tian glanced back at him and said, "Let's go in first, you, there's nothing wrong, right?" Pay attention to your expressions, don't look like you're seeing an enemy, be calm—peaceful, you see? ”

"Hay!"

"It's not Hai, it's yes, Bage, from now on, you are only allowed to smile, not speak!"

The leader of the cadet army was a platoon commander named Huang Yusheng. On the orders of the battalion commander Jiang Changsheng, he took the brothers of his platoon to run morning exercises and patrolled the surrounding area by the way. Huang Yusheng ran on the left side of the team, and when he turned around, he saw Gao Tian and them, and immediately ordered the team to stand, turn back, and then meet them. Far away, he shouted, "Brother opposite, which part of you are there?" ”

Gao Tian Shanfu and their eight pseudo-scholars, one of them was bloodstained, and he looked like he had just come down from the battlefield, so Huang Yusheng asked this question.

Sugio Takada gestured to the woods on his right, motioned for Ono to hide, and greeted him with a smile.
