Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 2687 The blood is burning!

Duanwu and his men were detouring to the south when they encountered part of Li Ergou's reconnaissance company.

These people were not wearing gas masks and were protecting less than a hundred survivors from Kaoshantun who were retreating.

Two soldiers had already fallen into coma, and there were even more civilians, more than a dozen of them. Even those who were still able to move had symptoms of poisoning and were very weak.

Duanwu immediately ordered them to evacuate their base quickly and sent a telegram to ask Doctor Han Ling to lead a team to provide support halfway.

As for the other reinforcements, it can only be said that they are not needed now, and it will probably take several hours for them to arrive on foot.

So there is no need for reinforcements. Duanwu only needs Han Ling to lead the team to rescue people, and let Ma Hu send people to protect Han Ling.

After doing all this, Duanwu led the team to quickly detour to the south, but at this time, they met Li Ergou and the other two companies.

Li Ergou also showed symptoms of poisoning, as well as soldiers from two companies.

Duanwu immediately ordered them to withdraw from the battle.

Li Ergou said that he could still hold on, but Duanwu scolded him: "Hold on, what the hell, the Japs' poison is not that simple, I don't want to see you fall on the way to the charge before you even see the enemy."

Duanwu ordered all the poisoned soldiers to withdraw from the battle and head towards the garrison to protect the retreating civilians.

As a result, more than 150 people were driven away by Duanwu, and only more than 400 people were left in the army.

At this time, Long Qianyan was a little worried that the troops had suffered serious casualties, and the Japanese had a large number of people, so they would suffer a loss.

But Duanwu laughed and said, "If there were more Japanese soldiers, they would never be repelled by Li Ergou and his men. I guess these Japanese biological soldiers are here to test the power of the poison gas. There must not be many of them. Eat them up and don't leave them to harm the people."

At this time, Long Qianyan said nothing, and Markov and Vladimir also surprisingly did not speak at this time.

They had always heard of the Japanese's poison gas, but the Japanese had never used it on them.

Markov speculated that perhaps the Japanese hid the poison gas and used it as a trump card. Or perhaps the Japanese did not want to start a war with the Soviet Union.

But in any case, he had never encountered this kind of poison gas attack on the battlefield.

So he would record this matter, and might even ask Duanwu to bring some samples back when he had the chance.

What's more, in his opinion, the anti-Japanese brigade had failed and their morale might be low, so he couldn't say too much at this time.

But obviously, he might have overthought it.

Because under the leadership of Duanwu, the anti-Japanese brigade was never afraid of setbacks.

They were angry about the injuries of their comrades and the Japanese's use of poison gas to kill civilians.

Everyone seemed to be holding their breath at this moment, and they followed Duanwu's footsteps and quickly headed south.

Soon, they went around to the south side of Kaoshantun, where the poisonous gas had been carried away by the wind.

All that was left was an empty village and the bodies of the villagers lying all over the place.

There were nearly a thousand people in the entire village. Except for less than a hundred people who escaped, the rest almost all died in the village.

After seeing this scene, Duanwu's face was solemn, and the soldiers of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces clenched their fists.

Their anger had reached its peak, and the blood in their hearts had already boiled.

However, at this moment, Long Qianyan saw a light in the woods not far away. It was the light of a flashlight, but after it was turned on, it turned off in an instant.

But Long Qianyan was a sniper, and although the light was only a flash, he still spotted it with his sharp eyes. "Captain, the Japanese are moving to the northeast."

Long Qianyan warned Duanwu loudly.

A map instantly appeared in Duanwu's mind. It was the result of him looking at the topographic map near Kaoshantun many times before preparing for the action.

So Duanwu made a quick judgment: "The Japanese want to get on the highway. They are currently about three kilometers away from the highway. We still have a chance to catch up with them."

At this point, Duanwu said sternly: "Everyone, the first and second companies follow me, the third and fourth companies follow your Captain Long, and we will surround them from both sides. We must stop the devils before they reach the road. Let's go!"

Duanwu gave an order, and all the anti-Japanese fighters immediately split into two groups and quickly chased the Japanese.

Markov and Vladimir panicked when they saw this, because they didn't know who to follow. And how come these anti-Japanese fighters ran so fast? In the blink of an eye, they had already run several hundred meters.

Vladimir asked: "What do we do now?"

Markov thought for a moment and said, "Go after Brother Qi."

But when they were about to give chase, they found that both teams had disappeared.

"············"

Markov was speechless and thought: How can I pursue this?

However, he still roughly remembered the direction in which Duanwu left, and he and Vladimir followed in pursuit.

At the same time, Kujo Miyakita and Yamamoto Shunsuke were fleeing.

They held more than 50 villagers from Kaoshantun hostage, most of them women and children, and stumbled forward on the rugged mountain road.

The crying of children and the sobbing of women formed a tragic picture along the way.

The Japanese soldiers waved their bayonets to threaten the villagers in Kaoshantun to hurry up, while looking back from time to time, fearing that the Anti-Japanese United Army would catch up with them.

Kujo Miyakita's face was ashen, with sweat and dirt mixed on his forehead, making him look very embarrassed.

He originally thought that Kaoshantun was so far away from the Anti-Japanese Brigade’s base that he would not encounter the Anti-Japanese Brigade, but he did not expect that the Anti-Japanese Brigade’s arms were so long that they reached Kaoshantun.

He didn't bring many people today, only Shunsuke Yamamoto's biochemical troops and a mechanized infantry battalion.

Such a force is enough to deal with a group of unarmed civilians.

But who could have thought that the Anti-Japanese United Army would arrive so soon?

This made him very passive, and he could only urge his men to speed up.

But at this moment, no matter how much the Japanese soldiers threatened, the hostages could not move fast at all.

Most of them were women and children, and their marching speed was no match for the well-trained Japanese troops.

Jiujo Miyakita showed a ferocious look on his face: "Faster! Faster!"

Upon hearing the order from Kujo Miyakita, a Japanese officer got angry and pulled a woman's hair, threatening her with a knife while cursing, "Cry, cry, cry. If you cry again, I'll chop you up right now. Get out of here!"

In the end, the Japanese officer simply grabbed the man's hair and dragged him away.

The woman groaned in pain, but the Japanese officer didn't care at all. He even dragged her to the ground and didn't let go!

Seeing this, the other Japanese soldiers followed suit, grabbing the hair of women and children and dragging them away.

The marching speed was greatly increased, but the women and children cried even harder. Even many women's hair was torn off by the devils, revealing large pieces of flesh and blood, and the blood was flowing non-stop!
