Li Yuan said Japanese, and he could still understand the simple Japanese words. He thought that the Japanese squad leader was really a talented person. He took out the map and looked at it. The road was heading north and crossed the bamboo sea to Taihua Town in the north. If the Japanese really took a motorboat from Yixing to Taihua exit the mountain pass to block the guerrillas in front and there would be tigers in front and wolf in the back.

This vanguard determines the life and death of the guerrillas in front.

The Kuomintang guerrillas rushed to the north and ran desperately. The long and dark team ran faster and kept going uphill before the brothers who were somewhat exhausted. A leader in the guerrilla team stood a little higher, and the Japanese in the bamboo forest below appeared and were thinking: It is not a way to run like this now. The Japanese followed behind like a plaster, and they couldn't shake it. This has been the third day. Although the brothers have also rested for a night, the Japanese are now chasing them closer and closer, so they have to think of a solution.

Now there is no use to arrange people to block the attack. Someone is chasing the guys under him running faster than usual in training, so let's just run away. No one is willing to block the Japanese in this mountain. It is said that it is blocking, but in fact it is to die. He just keeps those with better physical strength behind and occasionally shoots two shots to slow down the speed of the Japanese in pursuit.

The guerrillas in front would occasionally hang a thunderbolt from time to time, and the people running behind would occasionally turn around and fire a shot or two. The Japanese and puppet troops did not dare to run forward in a loud voice, rushing forward, and were restricted.

The Japanese treated better than the national army in life, and they followed behind and were unable to catch up in a while.

Carrying the only machine gun, Chen Yong stood by the roadside to watch the things abandoned by the National Army guerrillas, quilt rolls, steel helmets, kettles, dry food bags, backpacks, and lunch boxes.

The Japanese squad leader looked down on these things, but many puppet troops caught a lot of good things.

The team leader led the Japanese to chase them until now, and the charge formation was very good. At any time, you must be careful of the people in front of you firing cold guns.

The guerrillas did not dare to arrange people to stop and block, but they did not make the whole body run forward. The terrain in the mountains was not wide and they kept a distance of about three or four hundred meters between each other. The roads in the mountains were all curved, and the Japanese had to carefully reconnaissance every time they passed.

If the forward of a small team of Japanese detachments draws the distance closer, the guerrillas in front will occasionally shoot twice. When the gunshots are heard, the Japanese crawl on the roadside and shoot in front, the guerrillas in front will run forward hard. If the Japanese are pulled a little further away, the exhausted guerrillas in front will slow down again.

The Japanese were not stupid either. When they found that they were chasing a little, they immediately started fighting through the bamboo forest ahead three or four hundred meters, regardless of whether there were people or not, whether they could hit the target or not.

It is a waste not to fight. Once the distance is closer, the guerrillas will accelerate and run forward, and then slightly widen the distance.

There was no way to resist the number of people and guns. There were people on both sides who were shot. The distance was too far. A soldier in the guerrillas was injured by stray bullets. Immediately someone carried the injured person on a stretcher and ran forward.

The Japanese were slightly at a disadvantage in the terrain behind, and there were already three injured people.

Li Yuan and Chen Yong soon walked to the front. At this moment, no vanguards were working. The Japanese were in front and the puppet troops were behind the Japanese. The soldiers unscrewed the lid of the kettle and kept pouring water into their mouths.

Bang bang bang bang, there was another gunshot in front, followed by the sound of the 38th guns of the Japanese guns, and then there was another death-like silence.

The puppet army had no combat mission, so they followed the Japanese to watch the fun, but the bullets in front were flying around. Although they were far away, they didn't know anyone, and they lie on the ground as soon as the gunshot sounded. The puppet army did not know that the speed of the bullets was faster than the sound. As long as the first shot was not hit, the bullets behind could not be fired.

The puppet army walked freely and freely, as if they were coming out to relax.

Li Yuan led the Changxing guerrillas and his group were used to being poor, and they didn't let go of the rags on the ground. The injured soldiers carried more and more things, but they returned the most things.

It was already noon, and the sun had already begun to slant westward. The Japanese in front stopped, and all three groups of people stopped. No matter how much they chased, they still had to eat the rice. The Japanese began to bury the pot and cook rice. The team leader took a telescope and found a high ground to observe everywhere.

I found that the guerrillas in front also stopped. They should be eating dry food, and both sides were so tired.

The Japanese squad leader was speechless. He carefully observed the formation in front, took out the map and gestured with a leader Cao. Without much effort, Chief Cao ran to the back, called the artillery over, and the three mortars began to gather.

Three gunners dug holes on the ground and prepared to bury mortars and hoes. Six Japanese took off the shells on their backs and began to load fuses.

The Japanese squad leader is not stupid. I can't hit you. Now I know the approximate location of the guerrillas and plan to bombard them with mortars. If you want to rest, there is no door, which makes you feel uneasy when you have a meal.

If you can’t eat enough, it depends on how you run away in the afternoon!

The guerrillas were quite far away from the Japanese. They came two miles away and found that the Japanese had not followed them. Many soldiers were lying on the ground, some were eating, so they could finally rest for a while, take a rest in the afternoon and find a way to get rid of the Japanese.

The guerrilla commander is looking at the map. If you walk about four miles forward, there will be a fork in the road, and the two roads will eventually converge, which is equivalent to walking forward around a hill with two roads.

If you walk north about twenty miles, you will come out of the mountain to Taihua Town, where guerrillas are also active.

The guerrilla commander knew that the Japanese tactics were not bad, and they had been walking for two days and two nights. If the Japanese sent a correspondent to arrange a blocking attack at the exit in front, then his group of people would die in a dead end, and would become a turtle in the jar.

The Japanese team leader was about to use mortars to attack the guerrillas. Most of the other Japanese put their raincoats on the ground and lay down to watch the artillery busy there. They probably knew the team leader's intention and were very excited.

The Japanese artillery had roughly calculated the position of the guerrillas. The left and right deviations had been calculated and the distance was being calculated. The artillery chief Cao reported to the team: "The ballistic calculation has been completed, please give an order."

The Japanese lieutenant habitually pulled out his command knife: "Kill the chicken and fire the fire."

The loud voice of Li Yuan could hear it from a distance from a distance. The Japanese were going to attack? But just now, the vanguards said from the top of the mountain that the Japanese puppet army lay all over the ground and attacked so quickly. Isn’t that scientific?

Three cannons solved Li Yuan's doubts.

The Japanese did not test the fire, and directly rushed out of the cannon chamber with three rounds of shells, rushed into the air with a scream, and reached the highest point and began to fall.

The Japanese artillery technology is not covered, but the trouble is that this is a jungle. According to the Japanese infantry training outline, mortars are not allowed to be used in jungle. The reason is very simple. If the mortar shells hit branches during the ascending process, they will trigger fuses and cause volleys to explode. This consequence is very serious.

The location chosen by the Japanese squad leader was a place with no obstacles in the sky. Three shells successfully arrived above the guerrilla base. When the shells met with bamboo branches, they began to explode in the sky, with shrapnel shooting everywhere.
