Yoshio Shinozuka soon received the information he wanted.

About the whereabouts of the enemy of the robbery column.

At this time, the first reporting staff officer who brought him what seemed to be good news but was actually bad news had not yet left the headquarters, and the new news was reported by the second reporting staff officer.

"General, Sakamoto Nakasa telegram."

The new staff officer who walked in was obviously an old staff officer, well versed in Shinozuka Yoshio's temper, he knew that in this big night, when there was no good news before, he couldn't waste time, and after standing upright, he didn't wait for Shinozuka Yoshio to respond, and went straight to the point:

"During the pursuit of the enemy led by Sakamoto Nakasa, the enemy artillery encountered long-range artillery shelling, and the enemy artillery fire was quite fierce, which slowed down the pursuit of the Sakamoto brigade, and was finally fled into the mountains by the enemy."

"But ·····"

The new staff officer raised his tone slightly, and quickly reported the next message.

"Sakamoto Nakasa found that the enemy had abandoned some of the machinery and equipment, he found some debris of the machine packaging in the lake in the village of Bunnori, a large hole appeared in the ice, there was still engine oil in the water, and he also found some broken board cars abandoned by the enemy on the road."

This is good news.

"Oh?"

The staff officer's experience was successful, and Yoshio Shinozuka's face changed from a little gloomy when he received the first message to a relaxed expression, and his anger was diluted: "It seems that they have discarded some heavy machinery and equipment." ”

Then, he sneered, and his tone was full of mockery:

"What a poor army, it can't even transport a ton of machinery and equipment, obviously there is a serious shortage of weapons and ammunition, and now it has a machine tool for making weapons and ammunition, but it has to be discarded."

Sure enough, the news should be reported first as bad as it is good····· Looking at his general's face, the staff officer breathed a sigh of relief, praised his behavior in his heart, and continued to report:

"Sakamoto Nakasa also reported: The enemy entered the mountain area from one kilometer west of the lake and advanced along the mountain road in the direction of Datouling and Dawu Mountain."

"Datouling, Dawu Mountain?"

Quickly found these two points on the map, and then followed an arc with his fingers, and the corners of Yoshio Shinozuka's mouth finally hooked up completely: "As expected, this group of people retreated in the direction of Shou County." ”

Kazuki Yamamoto looked sideways.

From these two locations, point straight to the direction of Shou County.

And Shou County.

This is the area where Li Yunlong's troops are stationed, and his troops have been operating here, and even for a period of time, they even pressed the Shou County garrison to dare not go out, and the situation between the enemy and us was almost reversed.

Could it be that the enemy is really Li Yunlong?

"Command."

After taking the staff officer's telegram and looking at it, Yoshio Shinozuka thought for a moment and quickly gave the order.

His serious tone was full of joy:

"The garrisons of Xiyang, Yangquan, Chiyang and other places immediately dispatched to march in the direction of Fujiayuan, and blocked all the surrounding intersections, if they want to go to the so-called base area, they must pass through Fujiayuan."

"Then annihilate them here."

The words fell, and Yoshio Shinozuka's fists clenched fiercely.

Yamamoto's mouth on the side moved slightly, and he thought about patting the sycophants, such as a general Takami, after all, the situation is different, this is the only thigh, but in the end he still didn't say it.

The other party must pass through the vicinity of Fujiayuan, which can be seen by an officer, and there is almost no difficulty.

There are only two routes leading from Wendian Village to their so-called base area, without passing through the cities where the empire has heavy troops, and allowing the army to pass, according to the other party's route into the mountain, they must pass through Fujiayuan, and it is absolutely impossible to bypass it.

The mountain road is rugged and difficult to walk, this winter, walking is even more difficult, plus carrying a large number of machines and materials, more than 30 tons of medicines, and a lot of machinery and equipment, especially those machinery and equipment, many parts weigh more than 100 kilograms, this weight, a mule can not bear, and can not go far, must be helped, its marching speed can be imagined, an hour can have five or six miles is a miracle.

And from their entrance to the mountain pass, there are nearly forty miles of mountain road to Fujiayuan.

Three-way encirclement, plenty of time.

Moreover, once it is daylight, the Air Force will be able to take off, it will be able to reconnoitre.

Kazuki Yamamoto looked at the watch in his hand, the time at this time was 3:55, and there were still three and a half hours before dawn in the cold winter.

"Hey."

The staff officer also raised his tone, and he was also excited.

With that, the staff officer kicked away.

And Yoshio Shinozuka in the headquarters looked at the last line of the telegram and frowned again:

"Yaga."

"Lost a squad in such a short time, and as a result, didn't even touch the enemy's tail, waste."

After scolding, Yoshio Shinozuka did not continue to entangle.

This news made him uncomfortable, but the loss of the team, for Yoshio Shinozuka, only made him frown, if usually, he wouldn't even scold.

······

On the horse path between the mountains and forests.

"Commander, the enemy did not chase after you."

One of the soldiers in charge of the reconnaissance reported to Li Yunlong.

The general reconnaissance mission, a veteran soldier with great experience, continued: "I ran some distance back along our marching mountain road, and found that the devil was still at the intersection of the road and the mountain road, and he never came up. ”

"None of the mines we planted before have been detonated or cleared."

"The devil doesn't seem to have any intention of catching up."

"Hey, hey..."

Li Yunlong sneered, and his tone was disdainful: "The little devil is nothing more than that, his things were robbed, and he even dared to chase them, he was really fucking waste." ”

Aren't you afraid of death?

Isn't it the spirit of bushido that doesn't matter the army?

You're chasing, you're coming in!

"You continue to keep an eye on the devil and report the situation as soon as you find it."

The devil didn't chase after him, which made Li Yunlong feel a lot happier.

He was really worried that the devils would pursue regardless of casualties, and now that the ammunition of the troops had been almost exhausted, the devils would continue to chase, and it wouldn't take long for him to fight, he would have to play with bayonets, and once the troops were involved, they would really not be able to leave.

However, since the devil doesn't chase it, then there will be no chance to catch up.

"Yes."

This squad leader ran to the rear again with a couple of fighters.

Li Yunlong turned his gaze to the troops who were resting, at this time nearly 2,000 people of the new regiment and the independent regiment were resting in an open space to recover their strength.

However, there are also some fighters who do not rest.

Huang Baowang and a group of soldiers are dismantling the useless packaging on the outside of the medicine, such as wooden boxes and the like, after throwing away the wooden boxes and other useless packaging, it can be several tons lighter, and the machine and equipment are disassembled and fixed on the back of the big mule.

On the next road, they need to speed up and pass the key point of Fujia as soon as possible.

"Commander."

With enough manpower and proper organization, these tasks were quickly completed, Huang Baowang held a bowl of hot sugar water, and reported to Li Yunlong with a red face:

"After removing the packaging, all the machines and medicines can be placed on the back of the mule."

"This time, we brought three hundred and thirty-five big mules, and they were all fed hard food before leaving, and their physical strength was very solid, and they had no problem running with a weight of more than 400 catties."

"All the equipment of the artillery company was also put up, and a lot of wounded people were also carried, machine guns and excess ammunition were also put up."

Huang Baowang is well versed in the performance of the big mule, now they are only sixty-three miles away from the base, walking on the mountain road, such a distance, the big mule can carry 450 pounds of heavy goods at high speed, but after all, it is just livestock, after running this trip, you must rest for several days, which is equivalent to an explosive rush.

But enough.

When he returns to the base, he will take good care of these good guys.

"Hahaha, okay."

Li Yunlong smiled when he heard the news.

In his plan, this is a key step, through the terrifying mountain maneuvering ability of the big mule, with supplies quickly jump out of the encirclement that the devil has not yet carried out, and swagger into the base area.

As long as they enter the mountainous area of the base area, the devils can only retreat obediently, and when the storm passes, they will send people to dig up the heavy parts and take them away.

And, at the moment, the situation is a little better than he expected.

The big mules not only carried all the supplies, but also carried relatively heavy weapons and equipment, for example, all the machine guns in the regiment were carried by the big mules, and the ammunition had been consumed in the previous battles, and the artillery company had also used up all the shells in the final shelling, and next, they would march completely lightly.

A suit of clothes, a gun, and even the machine gunner has no weight.

In such a situation, the speed of the march of the troops can be imagined.

"Lao Li, let's go."

Ding Wei and Zhao Gang also walked over, and the two of them also held a bowl of sugar water in their hands.

Ding Wei looked at the watch in his hand and said: "It's almost four o'clock, and it's dawn in less than three hours, we'd better pass through Fujia before eight o'clock, otherwise we are likely to fall into the devil's interception." ”

Zhao Gang looked at the last bit of sugar water in his hand, and after drinking it in one sip, his tone was pleasant: "I also think it's time to go, this sugar water is indeed a good thing, and the fighters' physical strength is much better than usual." ”

"And it's better to be tired than to be caught up by the devil and annihilated."

"Okay."

Li Yunlong, who was also about to set off, waved his hand: "Let's go, run forward." ”

Whoop······ Following Li Yunlong's order, nearly 2,000 warriors got up in unison, carrying a large mule full of supplies, and quickly advanced along the mountain road.

Although it was cold winter weather and the mountain roads were rugged, the soldiers who barely carried the weight walked with great ease, and the maximum weight was only one gun, and occasionally there were steep sections where they used their hands and feet together, and the speed was very fast.

As for the big mules, even if they carried more than two hundred kilograms of weight, they were only faster than the warriors under the stout four-hooves step, but their heavy breathing showed that it was not easy for them.
