Take your places, get ready... rest!

After all the soldiers were lurking, Hu Yizhou inspected the area of ​​more than one kilometer from the east of Xiangtangpu Village to the west of Xiawan Village. After finding that there were no problems, he returned to the command post on Jiucai Mountain.

I don't know when this ambush will start, so I can only wait with peace of mind.

In Shexian County, when it was getting dark, Sun Dongling finally waited for his reinforcements - a squad of Sichuan Army soldiers who were running out of breath and panting.

It was not easy for the soldiers of this class. After walking nine kilometers, they quickly ran for one kilometer, all the way to the headquarters in Shexian County.

"You only have this few people here? Where are the reinforcements I want? Also, you only have these few broken guns? How are you going to fight the Japanese?" a middle-aged officer surnamed Wang said angrily.

"We have a regiment of troops... Whoops... But because there are no vehicles... we can only walk... Now, we are still halfway! Our regiment leader said, he said... Don't be anxious... Whoops...

...Fend off the Japanese for another hour! Our large force will be here!"

The leader of the squad was panting heavily and spoke intermittently.

"That's it, you guys...forget it, just run back and say that we can resist for another twenty minutes at most. If your reinforcements are not timely and cause the county to be captured, the responsibility will be yours!"

The officer, who did not know his position, waved his hand and drove the soldiers out of the squad. The squad leader, who originally wanted to find an excuse to go back and return to life, waved his hand and led his brothers out of the city again, towards the opposite side of the Qingzhang River.

Run on the mountain road.

"Battal Commander, the message is here! They know that we have a group coming..." the squad leader said.

"Got it! Rest on the spot and let's see their movements!" Camp Commander Luo said.

In fact, Camp Commander Luo was still very anxious. The constant sound of gunfire in Shexian County showed that the Japs were attacking in a hurry. He also wanted to go over and fight to the death with the Japs.

However, you’d better make sure you don’t get scammed first.

"The battalion commander... reported to the battalion commander that the friendly forces left a small number of troops to stop the Japanese. The large troops are moving out, leaving the front to us!" After a while, the soldiers responsible for monitoring the movements of the defenders in Shexian City came back to report.

"Ge Lao Tzu, you are clearly trying to trick me! Look again, be prepared to retreat at any time!" Camp Commander Luo cursed.

"yes!"

Hu Yizhou's guess came true. It was really a trap. Fortunately, his suggestion was implemented, and the Sichuan Army battalion did not have direct contact with the Japanese.

After finding out that the Japs had been let into the county by the surrendered defenders, Camp Commander Luo led his men and ran back angrily. At the same time, he was very happy in his heart. If he had gone in hastily, he would have been just like the Japs.

Heart to heart, face to face, you and I will fight to the death. It’s hard to retreat even if you retreat!

"It's better to go back and fight the Japanese ambush!"

After spitting at Shexian County, Camp Commander Luo and his men ran back to the mountains near Shentou Village.

In Shexian County, the 108th Division has already occupied this place. In Sun Dongling's original headquarters, the commander of the Xiayuan Division, who escaped when Hu Yizhou bombed Handan City, is studying the battle map.

This barracks, which was originally the residence of the Chinese defenders, has now become a comfortable haven for the Japanese. In the county town, the screams of women and the wails and roars of men can be heard from time to time, as well as the sound of shooting and bayonet stabbing.

The sound that enters the human body appears...

In various restaurants in the city, the little devils used bayonets to force the chefs to cook the best meals for them to enjoy. Those who disobeyed were given a bayonet...

As for the chickens, ducks, geese and other poultry and livestock kept in the yard, they also suffered. They were bled, plucked and put into pots. The Japanese are very capable...

On this early spring night, the smell of meat is accompanied by blood, obscene laughter is accompanied by screaming, massacre is accompanied by suffering, and aggression is accompanied...

"Today is the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, and tomorrow is the Lantern Festival! Unfortunately, we can only wait in the cold wind for the Japanese invaders to attack, but we can't go home to reunite with our families! Master Dao, do you have anything to say?"

In the command post of the security regiment, Hu Yizhou said to the veteran Chen Beixuan next to him.

"Why do you want to be at home when the country is restless? Commander, you are just too nervous, so you should take a nap!" Chen Beixuan said.

"I can't help but be nervous! I used to work alone, with at most a hundred or ten men, all of whom were good soldiers, and the enemies I faced were small groups! So, at that time, I had nothing to fear. I could run away if the worst happened.

With its powerful maneuverability, you won’t be trapped to death!”

"But it's different now. The lives of more than a thousand people are in my hands. I will face a division of Japanese soldiers and a large number of puppet troops! In this case, one person may be dozens of people unexpectedly.

The sacrifice of a hundred people!" Hu Yizhou said.

"Let's do our best and obey fate! We are not perfect, and there will always be unexpected times. As long as we make fewer mistakes than the Japanese, it will be fine! And if we do mental calculations but not careless, there will always be advantages we can take advantage of!" The old Taoist has a better mentality.

After all, the responsibilities are different and the pressure is also different.

"Master Dao, you said that the white cannonballs produced in the arsenal will not be ridiculed by fellow martial arts, right? After all, I heard the master said that this is a dirty trick in the world?" Hu Yizhou suddenly remembered the mortar he had accidentally created.

The shells are coming.

"Are you still afraid of being laughed at by your martial arts colleagues? Are you a member of the Jianghu community? Besides, Jianghu people are very patriotic and love the nation. No matter what the means, it is a good means to resist the invaders!" Chen Beixuan stroked the long beard on his chin.

said.

"That's right! I'm going to bed first, call me if you need anything!" Again, Hu Yizhou fell asleep peacefully.

"Who are you from? Haha, now that people believe in guns and cannons, who still believes in this?" Looking at the sleeping Hu Yizhou, the old man let go of his fingers and touched his beard again in a self-deprecating way.

The nights in the Taihang Mountains are extremely cold, especially for the warriors who face the cold wind in the wilderness!

Fortunately, the Handan-Changchun Highway runs east-west here, and the howling north wind is blocked by the vast mountains, so it is not very violent! But the cross wind blowing along the ravine can kill you, it is too cold! Especially

You can’t move at will yet!

The soldiers of the Third Battalion of the Sichuan Army who were hiding in the village were better off. They were blocked by houses and were not easily discovered. They could move around freely. Those Jiuzhaigods who were arranged by Hu Yizhou in the fields on both sides of the road suffered.

Got it!

Fortunately, these men from Jiuzhaigou have a lot of hunting experience and are experienced in conserving body heat and hiding in the cold wind.

This is why Hu Yizhou arranged them in the wilderness instead of placing the Sichuan soldiers of the third battalion in the wilderness.
