The more Shiro Asahi chased, the more uneasy he felt in his heart. This kind of endless pursuit was very uncomfortable for people. If he had nothing to do, he would just run away, but Colonel, didn't he still have a mission? , they had been chasing for almost three hours but they still showed no signs of getting there. Colonel Chaosheng decisively ordered the troops to stop the pursuit, and he stopped chasing. .
Chen Laosi has already asked the guide, and we will arrive at Hulu Valley in ten minutes. We will be there soon. How can the Japanese not leave? Turning his eyes, Battalion Commander Chen took out a pair of shoes from his body and handed one to him. The scout leaned into his ear and whispered something.
The scout grinned, grabbed the shoe, turned around and ran back to Colonel Asagi's team, "Your Majesty Colonel, Captain Sato discovered this." The scout handed the shoe to Colonel Asahi with excitement on his face.
"A shoe, what does this mean?" Shiro Asagi blinked and looked at the first-class soldier in front of him in confusion. This is just an ordinary military boot worn by Japanese soldiers. It is not even a pair, even if it is new. It's just one, what's so great about it?
"Captain Sato just found this on the roadside. The volunteers just ran across this road, and they ran away in a hurry." After the first-class private and Colonel Asahi finished telling the captain what they found, they turned around and ran away. , as if he could be sure that the colonel would definitely follow.
"One shoe, what does it mean? Just this one shoe can make my troops continue to run forward like fools." The colonel shook his head contemptuously. This shoe may really show that those volunteers are there. The front is not far, but the colonel has a mission. He has to rescue Miyoshi Kihei. Three hours have passed and there are still three hours to go back. It is not known whether the 35th Regiment can hold on for another three hours.
"Report to Colonel, Captain Miyoshi has sent a telegram." The communications soldier took a telegram. This was already the fifth telegram sent by Colonel Miyoshi to urge rescue.
Colonel Asao took the telegram and glanced at it, and saw that it read: Captain Asao Shiro, please rush to Nanzi for rescue immediately. If it doesn't take half an hour, the 35th Regiment will be completely under attack from the superior enemy. will be destroyed, and Colonel Miyoshi will also be crushed to death along with his troops.
"Destroyed, broken into pieces, Chaosheng Colonel sneered, your three good friends, Xiping, will also have this day."
"Return call: Please lead the troops to the northeast to break out immediately. I am leading my troops to Nanzi at full speed. I will meet up with Miyoshi in an hour." Chaosheng Colonel also and Chen Laosi learned that there are still three more It took him an hour to get there, but he said that he could meet up with Colonel Miyoshi in just an hour. He didn't know if Colonel Miyoshi would be jumping around and scolding him if he couldn't see Colonel Asao after an hour.
"Pah, pah." Several crisp gunshots suddenly came over. The Japanese panicked and immediately took the guns in their hands.
"What's going on?" Shiro Asahi quickly took out his pistol and looked around with a vigilant expression. Lieutenant Minami, the commander of the regiment, held a pistol to protect the colonel behind him. The two maintained a back-to-back fighting posture.
"Report to the colonel, the gunshots came from the front. It may be that the heavy troops of the 12th Division were attacked by the enemy." The guard captain of the regiment heard the direction of the gunshots and quickly reminded the colonel.
"The heavy baggage troops encountered an enemy attack. They are volunteers." Shiro Asahi suddenly guessed the identity of the enemy, and his spirit was immediately lifted. "Get ready to fight." The colonel shouted at the top of his throat, which made the Japanese even more nervous.
"Colonel, the baggage soldiers in front have already engaged the volunteers and are asking for support from us." The voice of the vanguard squad leader came over the phone. The baggage soldiers did not send anyone to report to the colonel this time. They directly notified the vanguard squad.
"Charge, the Ito Brigade immediately surpassed the heavy troops, attacked the volunteers, and destroyed them. Other troops followed." Shiro Asahi made an instant choice. The volunteers were in front, kill them, grab the supplies, and rescue the 35th Regiment. The task was once again put on the back burner.
The Japanese soldiers let out a burst of shouts, fired a burst of shots into the sky to strengthen their courage, and then ran forward, as if they were late and the good things would be robbed.
The Ito Brigade is recognized as the most powerful brigade in the 7th Regiment. They have been at the front from the beginning of the march. After discovering the enemy's traces, Asahi Shiro named the Ito Brigade without hesitation.
Captain Ito Jiro knew that the commander of the regiment wanted to grab supplies first and then save the 35th Regiment this time. He actually didn't agree with the colonel's actions. However, as a key officer of the regiment and a confidant of Colonel Asahi, he still We must obey the commander's orders. We hope to eliminate the volunteers as soon as possible, retrieve supplies, and rescue the 35th Regiment as soon as possible.
Ito's battalion ran forward following the sound of gunfire. Colonel's order was for them to surpass the heavy baggage troops and attack the volunteers.As they ran, the Japs discovered that the baggage soldiers in front were not so easy to overtake. The imperial army had almost reached the speed of a 100-meter sprint, but they still could not catch up with the baggage soldiers who were running happily in front.
These heavy troops can really run, Major Ito lamented, gritting his teeth and glaring, urging the troops to run faster. No artillery, no vehicles, no need for them. Let¡¯s rush to the front and exchange fire with the volunteers first. Well, leave the artillery squadron, transport squadron, and machine gun squadron behind. Ito Jiro led his elite infantry and chased the heavy baggage soldiers in front.
Chen Laosi and Gao Guozhong took their troops and ran into a valley in one breath. According to the guide, this is the Hulu Valley. They didn't feel much when they first ran into the valley, but as they ran, they realized something was wrong.
There are mountains on both sides of the valley. There is an oval valley in the middle. A small road passes through the valley. A cool draft blows through the valley. When people walk at the bottom of the valley, they can't help but get goosebumps. This is really a sight. In an ominous place, run quickly. The two of them speeded up their pace in unison. The soldiers of the special detachment ran faster than before.
The gunshots continued intermittently and never stopped. The Japanese soldiers from Ito's brigade were always less than two hundred meters away from the special detachment. They could not see where the volunteers were, but the heavy soldiers in front were running so fast, and the gunshots were not heard. If it was fake, the Japanese would have no choice but to chase after him.
When entering the Calabash Valley, Itojiro could tell that something was wrong with the valley, but the heavy troops and supplies had all run past. Can he watch from behind? Come on, there is a colonel behind him anyway. If something happens, Colonel will have a way to deal with it, and the years of superior-subordinate relationship have made Ito Jiro extremely trustful of Colonel Asahi.
Since there were heavy troops leading the way, Shiro Asagi didn't think about anything else along the way. It wasn't until he entered the valley for a while that he suddenly raised his head and looked around, and Colonel Asahi took a deep breath.
