Rise from the sword

Chapter 57 Pursuit
"Find this group of guerrillas, catch up with this group of guerrillas, and then kill them without leaving a single one"

"If you can't do it, then you should change the position of the captain of the garrison brigade. I heard that the frontline attack force has suffered a lot recently, and is lacking excellent imperial warriors to supplement..."

In the microphone, Suzuki's gloomy tone came, which made Colonel Sanhao tremble all over. Cold sweat covered his back, and sweat dripped down his forehead. In this sub-zero weather, this old devil has two temples. The hair is actually wet.

Go to the front line to be a leader?
You must not go, you will die if you go!

"Hey, the subordinate must complete the task"

Although his calf was trembling, Colonel Sanhao hurriedly assured: "I have found the traces of this group of people, they are a group of guerrillas from the west of Yangquan, the purpose of attacking Shuangfeng Town is for medicines and codebooks, I have sent people go after"

"However, our password book should have been seized by them"

The last sentence, after hesitating for a long time, Colonel Sanhao 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.

Having said that, at most, he will be criticized. Although he is not very good in the background, he is not as good as the group of people like Ikeda Kuichi, but he can get into the captain of the garrison brigade in a major town, and he is more or less in the background. As long as the boss does not Fuck him, and he'll get past it.

"Very good, your notification is very timely, I will notify the troops to change the codebook. In addition, the cavalry troops attached to the Second Army near Shijiazhuang have been transferred to you for command. Be sure to catch this group of guerrillas and avenge Colonel Ikeda Jiuichi. , and try to recover the password book as much as possible.”

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

"I will also notify the First Army so that the garrison in Yangquan will be equipped to arrest them, but I will mainly rely on myself."

Although the First Army and the Second Army are both affiliated to the North China Front Army, they compete with each other and do not like each other. If this happens, according to Suzuki's estimate, the First Army will definitely laugh at it, and then act like a blockade. every intersection.

"Hi"

Listening to the calm tone of the chief of staff, Colonel Sanhao didn't feel at all relaxed, and the cold sweat was still flowing.

This calm tone is just the calm before the storm...
Might as well scold him...

After hanging up the phone heavily, Suzuki from Jinan frowned, "Why did Ikeda Jiuyi go to Shijiazhuang?"

Although he used to be a senior brother, but since General Shomoto Shigeru was idle, Suzuki and Ikeda Jiuichi had little contact. Naturally, he did not know the purpose of Ikeda Jiuyi's coming 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 figure in real power, the other is a reserve training officer, and the rank of lieutenant is just an idle position, then the brotherhood of the apprentice will naturally be discounted. Dying doesn't hurt.

He was angry that his own jurisdiction was attacked, and it was the hinterland, which would definitely be scolded by superiors and ridiculed by others, which was the fundamental reason why he could not tolerate making him angry.

······
"It's now two hours from the guerrilla raiding station"

In a temporary room that was snatched from a building in Shuangfeng Town, Colonel Sanhao and Captain Ozawa Yuyuan, the captain of the cavalry squadron who had just arrived, and several captains of the garrison brigade were having a meeting.

Master Sanhao pointed at the map and said:

"According to the footprints they left, this group of guerrillas fled to the west in the direction of Pingshan City. There are more than 100 of them, and they have about 30 mules and horses with them."

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

"So, I decided to divide the troops to pursue. The cavalry squadron pursued along the road. You can reach Pingshan City in an hour, and then spread the investigation around. Once the guerrillas are found, they will immediately pursue the pursuit."

"The guard team pursued along the mountain road, and paid attention to searching along the way to observe whether they were going in other directions."

"Humph···"

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

"This group of idiots are stupid and greedy. In this weather, they escaped with three tons of medicine. It's just courting death."

The cavalry squadron captain Ozawa Duanyuan nodded to himself and said with a sneer:

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

"Then they committed suicide"

"In this weather, more than 100 people and [-] mules and horses are carrying three tons of medicines. The mountain road will not travel more than three kilometers per hour, or even slower. I will wait for them in Pingshan City. up to four kilometers per hour"

"They can't escape"

Between the words, this old Ozawa multi-element devil with strong self-confidence and killing intent, it seems that the assault company is already his dead soul, and there will be no accidents.

"Very well, let's go everyone, I have informed the captain of Ida Jinji of Hirayama City to send troops to pursue Shuangfeng Town along the mountain road and highway"

Dazuo Sanhao finally smiled, and the scar on his forehead disappeared: "Catch up with them and kill them. We have seen the guerrillas of the Republic of China many times. There are more than 100 people in the area. A random team of our imperial army can completely wipe them out." them"

"Hi"

Ozawa Yuanyuan and several team leaders bowed their heads, and then led the troops in pursuit to Pingshan City.

······
Two hours have passed since the attack on Hirayama Castle, and the assault company has been walking along the mountain road for two hours.

With an extraordinary mule, in fact, the Assault Company was only four kilometers away from Pingshan City at this time, and they hurriedly marched for more than eleven kilometers between the snowy mountains and forests in just two hours, which was a miracle.

"Mother, is this really a mule?"

At the end of the assault company team, Huang Baowang, holding the reins of the mules and horses, panted heavily, strode hard, and cursed.

In front of him, a large mule and horse with a total weight of more than 300 catties of medicines, ammunition, and food on its back was pacing and striding through the mountains and forests without much effort. Huang Baowang was actually pulled by the mule and horse. Otherwise, on this snowy mountain road, with one foot and one snow hole, how could the human body maintain a speed of more than five kilometers per hour.

"Squad leader, stop talking and save your energy. If this goes on, we'll really be left behind."

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

"Damn, when I used to be in the army, the mountain road was not driven by a mule."

Huang Baowang naturally knew that it was not appropriate to speak during a rapid march, but he couldn't help it. This march felt outrageous.

In the past, he was in charge of serving the mules in the army. The mule back then would not be enough if it was over 150 catties. If it was more than 100 catties, it would require help when walking on mountain roads. The man behind pushes the ass.

It's so slow to die!

Where is it like this mule, when encountering a half-human height hurdle, he slaps his hand on the buttocks, and the mule jumps up on its own, and even pulls the man up with his spare strength.Moreover, this mountain road is actually faster than a person walking on a flat road!

"Labor and capital are actually being led away by mules!"

Cursing and scolding, Huang Baowang seemed to have been humiliated: "You must exercise well when you go back, Mad, being led by a mule, labor and capital can't afford to lose this person"

"Squad leader, let go of the rope there," said the soldier beside him suddenly.

Huang Baowang suddenly stopped talking.

Let go of the rope?

It is strange that labor and capital do not fall behind!
In this heavy snow, the snow on the ground is almost a foot thick, without this mule pulling him, can he keep up?
"The labor and management are distressed for this good mule, don't wear him out," Huang Baowang said after a while.

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

Once there is a problem with the big mule, then they have to give up the drugs they just seized.

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

According to the plan, after the assault company succeeded in attacking Shuangfeng Town, they would have to march for three hours to reach a hidden forest in a mountain west of Pingshan City. Only in the mountains would they be considered safe and would not be overtaken by enemy cavalry.

There was no response, but after the voice, the team's speed increased significantly.

"battalion commander"

In front of the commando, Wang Gensheng, a veteran of the front-line investigation, ran over: "I found a group of devils ahead, and they are walking towards us. Seeing the appearance of these devils, they should be chasing us."

"Stop, rest in place"

Devil so fast!
There are devils in front, are they surrounded? ... Zhang Dabiao was startled, and immediately ordered the assault company to rest in place temporarily.

In his estimation, it would take three hours for the devils to send troops to catch up with them, and at that time, they had already gone to hide in the mountains, and it was only two hours now, and this snowy mountain road, how did the devils arrive in front of them?
"How far is it from us?" he asked Wang Gensheng.

"There is still one kilometer. These devils are carrying flashlights and can be seen from far away. I left a soldier to stare at these devils on a high slope in the distance."

While speaking, Wang Gensheng was panting obviously. Even he felt very difficult to investigate in the snowy mountains and forests. He drank a sip of water and continued: "This group of devils has about 30 people. They spread to the two wings during the investigation. It should not be found us"

"Thirty devils? And haven't found us yet?"

Zhang Dabiao narrowed his eyes: "It seems that this group of devils didn't come from Shijiazhuang. They should be devil soldiers from Pingshan City, who came to search and intercept."

"It should be." Wang Gensheng nodded.

"Humph"

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

"Captain, do you want to..."

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