"Find this group of guerrillas, catch up with this group of guerrillas, and then kill them, not a single one is left"

"If you can't do it, then your position as the captain of the garrison brigade should be changed, I heard that the front-line attack force has suffered relatively large losses recently, and there is a shortage of excellent imperial warriors to replenish..."

In the microphone, Suzuki's eerie tone came, making Sanhao Dazuo tremble, his back was covered with cold sweat, and beads of sweat were rolling down his forehead.

Go to the front line as a big soldier?

You must not go, if you go, you will die!

"Hey, the lowly will definitely complete the task"

Although his legs and stomach were trembling, Sanhao Dazuo still hurriedly assured: "I have found the traces of this group, they are a group of guerrillas from the west of Yangquan, and the purpose of attacking Shuangfeng Town is to use medicine and code books, I have sent someone to chase them."

"However, their code should have been seized."

The last sentence, Sanhao Dazuo, who hesitated for a long time, still said it.

Not to mention, if there is a problem with the intelligence due to the leakage of the codebook, then you will have to commit suicide.

Anyway, at most, he will be criticized, although he is not good in the background, not as good as Ikeda Kuichi's group, but the captain of the garrison brigade who can mix in a major town is more or less backstage, as long as the big guy doesn't mess with him, he can get past.

"Very good, your notification is very timely, I will notify the troops to change the code book, in addition, the cavalry unit belonging to the Second Army near Shijiazhuang has been transferred to you for command recently, be sure to catch this group of guerrillas, avenge Ikeda Kuichi Nakasa, and try to recover the code book"

Suzuki's tone was unexpectedly calm, he didn't get angry, and his tone was still flat:

"I will also inform the First Army and let the garrison on the Yangquan side be equipped to arrest, but it is mainly on my own."

Although the First Army and the Second Army were both subordinate to the North China Front, they competed with each other and did not like each other, and if this happened, according to Suzuki's estimation, the First Army would definitely laugh at it, and then make a show to block all the intersections.

"Hi"

Listening to the calm tone of the chief of staff, Sanhao Dazuo did not feel the slightest sense of relaxation, and the cold sweat was still flowing.

This calm tone is just the calm before the storm...

It's better to get angry and scold him...

Hanging up the phone heavily, Suzuki, who is located in Jinan, frowned: "What are you doing in Shijiazhuang?" ”

Although they used to be brothers, since General Shomoto Shigeru was idle, Suzuki and Ikeda have rarely been in contact, and he naturally does not know the purpose of Ikeda's visit to China.

Since the teacher has lost power, and the status of the two sides is not equal, one is the chief of staff of the major general, a powerful figure, and the other is a reserve training officer, and the rank of Nakasa is just idle, then the brotherhood of this division will naturally be discounted, and Suzuki is not heartbroken about the death of Ikeda Kuichi.

He was angry that his own precinct had been attacked, and that it was the hinterland, which would certainly be scolded by his superiors and ridiculed by others, which was the root cause of his intolerance that made him angry.

······

"It's been two hours since the guerrillas attacked the station"

In a temporary room looted from Shuangfeng Town, Sanhao Daisa, the leader of the cavalry squadron who had just arrived, Captain Ozawa, and several captains of the garrison brigade were having a meeting.

Mihiro Dasa pointed to the map and said:

"According to the footprints they left behind, this group of guerrillas fled in the direction of Hirayama Castle to the west, and they numbered about 100 people, and they also carried about 30 mules and horses."

"But the footprints can't be traced near the road, and there are two roads leading to Pingshan City in Shuangfeng Town, the road to the north and the mountain road to the south, so we can't confirm which one the guerrillas took."

"Therefore, I decided to divide the troops into pursuit, the cavalry squadron pursued along the road, you can reach Pingshan City in an hour, and then spread around to reconnoitre, once you find the guerrillas, immediately start the pursuit"

"The garrison team pursued along the mountain road, keeping an eye on the search along the way to see if they took other directions"

"Hmph..."

Speaking of this, he paused, and his tone was mocking:

"This group of Tuhaha is stupid and greedy, this weather, they actually escaped with three tons of medicine, they are simply looking for death"

Captain Ozawa, the cavalry squadron leader on the side, nodded to himself, and said with a sneer:

"I'll set off right away, Shuangfeng Town is about fifteen kilometers away from the Pingshan City Highway and the mountain road, if they take the road, then I can catch up with them before they arrive, and then kill them all, if they take the mountain road..."

"Then they are self-defeating"

"In this weather, more than 100 people and 30 mules and horses, carrying three tons of medicine, the mountain road will not march more than three kilometers per hour, or even slower, I will wait for them in Pingshan City, even if they throw away the medicine, it will be at most four kilometers per hour"

"They can't run away"

Between the words, this Ozawa multi-faceted old devil had a strong self-confidence and killing intent, as if the assault company was already the ghost of his sword, and there would be no accidents.

"Very good, let's go, everyone, I have already informed Captain Ida Jinji of Pingshan Castle to send troops along the mountain roads and highways to pursue Shuangfeng Town"

The corners of Sanhao Dazuo's mouth finally showed a smile, and the one on his forehead disappeared: "Catch up with them, kill them, we have seen the guerrillas of the Republic of China many times, there are only more than a hundred people, and any small team of our imperial army can completely annihilate them."

"Hi"

Ozawa Duoduo and several squad leaders all bowed their heads, and then chased towards Pingshan Castle with their troops.

······

Two hours had passed since the assault on Hirayama Castle, and the assault company had already walked along the mountain road for two hours.

With an otherworldly mule, in fact, the position of the assault company at this time was only four kilometers away from Pingshan Castle, and it was a miracle that they marched more than eleven kilometers through the snowy mountains and forests in just two hours.

"Damn, is this really a mule?"

At the end of the assault company, Huang Baowang, who was holding the reins of the mule and horse, panted, took difficult steps, and cursed in his mouth.

In front of him, a large mule and horse with a total weight of more than 300 catties of medicine, ammunition and food on his back were pacing and striding through the mountains and forests, and he didn't see much effort, Huang Baowang was actually pulled by a mule, otherwise this snowy mountain road, one foot and one snow hole, how could human physical strength maintain a speed of more than five kilometers per hour.

"Squad leader, you should talk less, save some energy, if you continue like this, we will really fall behind"

Beside Huang Baowang, a soldier with a machine gun on his back said, he was also panting, and he was also holding a rope in his hand, and the rope was tied to the saddle of the mule and horse to borrow strength.

"Damn, when I was in the army before, the mountain road, that time it wasn't a person pushing a mule"

Huang Baowang naturally knew that it was not suitable to speak when he was marching in a hurry, but he really couldn't help it, this march felt outrageous.

In the past, he was responsible for serving the mules in the army, and the original mule was not good for a hundred and fifty pounds, and any more would be pressed out, and even if the camel was more than a hundred pounds, he had to be helped by walking on the mountain road, and the front was dragged with a rope, and the back was pushed by the ass.

It's still slow to die!

Where is it like this mule, when it encounters a half-human high hurdle, and the hand is slapped on the buttocks, the mule jumps up on its own, and pulls the person up with spare strength. Moreover, this mountain road is actually faster than a person walking on a flat road!

"Labor and management were actually led away by mules!"

Scolding and scolding, Huang Baowang seemed to have suffered a great humiliation: "You must exercise hard when you go back, Made, you are led by a mule, and labor and management can't afford to lose this person"

"Squad leader, let go of the rope there," the soldier on the side said suddenly.

Huang Baowang suddenly stopped talking.

Let go of the rope?

It's no wonder that labor and management don't fall behind!

The snow on the ground is almost a foot thick, and he can keep up without this mule pulling it?

"Labor and management are sorry for this good mule, don't tire him out," Huang Baowang said after a while.

Although the speed is still unabated, Huang Baowang can also see that the big mule is obviously panting, obviously, dragging three hundred catties of supplies and pulling three more people, this burden is not easy.

As soon as there was a problem with the mule, they would have to give up the medicine they had just seized.

"There is still an hour, everyone work hard, we can rest after Pingshan City" Zhang Dabiao's voice came from the front.

According to the plan, after the assault on Shuangfeng Town was successful, the assault company had to march for three hours to reach a mountain forest west of Pingshan City and hide in it, only in the mountains, they could be considered safe, so that they would not be overtaken by the enemy's cavalry.

There was no response, but after the words passed, the speed of the team increased significantly.

"Battalion Commander"

In front of the assault team, Wang Gensheng, a veteran of the front reconnaissance, ran over: "I found a group of devils in front of us, and they are walking towards us, looking at the appearance of this group of devils, they should be chasing us."

"Stop, rest in place"

Devils so fast!

There are devils in front, are they surrounded? Zhang Dabiao was taken aback and immediately ordered the assault company to rest in place for the time being.

In his prediction, it should take three hours for the devil to send troops to catch up with them, and at that time, they had already gone to the mountains to hide, and it was only two hours now, and how did the devil get ahead of them on this snowy mountain road?

"How far away from us?" He asked Wang Gensheng.

"There is still a kilometer left, this group of devils with flashlights, you can see it from afar, I left a soldier to watch this group of devils on the high slope in the distance"

Wang Gensheng was visibly panting as he spoke, even he felt very difficult to investigate in the snow and mountains, he took a sip of water and continued: "This group of devils is about thirty people, and they spread to the wings during the reconnaissance, so they shouldn't have found us."

"Thirty devils? And still haven't found us? ”

Zhang Dabiao's eyes narrowed: "It seems that this group of devils is not from Shijiazhuang, it should be the devil soldiers of Pingshan City, who are here to search and intercept."

"It should be," Wang Gensheng nodded.

"Hmph"

Zhang Dabiao snorted coldly, narrowed his eyes, and said in a gloomy tone: "It seems that the devils should not know our situation, thinking that we are still the guerrillas who lacked guns and bullets before, and only thirty devils dare to hang in front of us."

"Battalion commander, do you want to..."

Wang Gensheng looked at Zhang Dabiao, his eyes lit up, and then he was gloomy: "There is not enough time, we can't be dragged here"
