Four hours have passed since the special agent company attacked the Japanese hospital. So far, the little guys have not gained anything. Even though a lot of troops have been invested, it is still like finding a needle in a haystack.

In Taiy City.

After Yoshio Shinozuka, commander of the Japanese First Army in Jin Province, heard the news that the hospital had been destroyed, he climbed out of bed without even wearing any clothes. Angry, he pulled out the samurai sword given by Tian Locust and pointed it at the room in his bedroom.

The table was chopped up randomly.

He never expected that the Republic of China troops who were suppressed by him would dare to do such a thing under his eyes, and actually launch a long-distance attack!

Even Shun Tada, the commander of the North China Front who was far away in BJ, called him and severely reprimanded him, which made Yoshio Shinozuka break out in a cold sweat.

Since the establishment of the First Army in 1938, there have been three top officers and countless staff officers in just two years.

After being transferred from the 10th Division, the war has reached a stalemate stage and the situation is relatively stable. So far, he has not achieved any results. He is very uneasy because such a big problem has occurred today.

The helpless Yoshio Uzuka decided to end the situation personally. Compared with those disorganized grassroots officers, this old devil's solution was relatively well-organized.

He first sent people to collect which troops had been attacked recently and which troops had been reduced in strength. No matter how elite the troops were, they would inevitably leave traces during the march.

In his mind, the suspects for the attackers this time have already been tilted towards the Eighth Route Army. Those indecisive and incompetent peasant armed forces will definitely show their flaws.

Yoshio Utsuka's idea is correct. The Eighth Route Army is not a beast like them. How could it be indifferent when seeing the people being slaughtered?

Within half an hour after the order was issued, information needed by the First Army Staff Headquarters was sent to all areas in the province where Japs were stationed.

I have to say that none of the devils who can become high-level people are useless, and they are very efficient when they deal with one thing seriously.

Under the leadership of the chief of staff, these old Japs carefully screened out several suspicious logs, and the Japs unit that disappeared in Xiaowang Village was among them.

After selecting the points where the enemy might pass, the old Japanese took the hospital as the starting point and the Eighth Route Army base area as the focus, and roughly analyzed several routes.

Although we are not sure which one it is, it is better than wandering aimlessly. Moreover, they have many people and all kinds of arms, including infantry, cavalry, armored units, land and aviation.

If you still can't catch a small group of hostile forces, then they, the senior leaders of the First Army, should stop fighting and go back to the mainland to raise pigs.

Yoshio Uzuka adjusted his glasses tremblingly. Although he already had a battle plan, he still felt a little unsure.

He pointed to the map hanging on the wall and said:

"According to current analysis, this group of guerrillas fled towards their base. Their number is no less than a squadron, but there is a certain probability that non-combatants are mixed in."

"We will send troops to investigate all of the six routes currently selected! No matter it is a highway or a mountain road, we must not let it go!"

"The cavalry pursues along the road, and collects information when it reaches the towns along the way. Then it spreads the investigation to the surrounding areas. Once the guerrillas are discovered, the intelligence will be reported as soon as possible."

"The various squadrons under the 5th Independent Guard Corps are pursuing along the mountain road. Your task is to cooperate with the infantry to search carefully along the way and observe whether they go in other directions."

The Chief of Staff of the First Army standing nearby agreed with great approval and added his own opinion with a sneer.

"They can't escape. Although both the enemy and us will be affected by this weather, we have the advantage in numbers!"

"If they take the road, our troops are more mobile, and it is only a matter of time before we catch them. If they take the mountain road, it is no different from seeking death."

"In this kind of weather, even the warriors of my brother's country can only travel up to three kilometers per hour. When the time comes, what awaits them is a dragnet."

As he spoke, the old devil spoke with strong self-confidence and murderous intent, as if the secret service company had already been captured and there would be no surprises.

Only now did Utsuka Yoshio regain his former self-confidence, and the cold sweat on his forehead also disappeared. With his rich command experience, he did not forget that the enemy might have supporting troops.

"Remember to inform the garrison bordering the Eighth Route Army base area to be prepared to block enemy reinforcements and don't let me down."

"Everyone, take action!"

"Hi!"

Everyone in the combat conference room bowed their heads and then returned to their respective posts.

————————————

The Japanese would never have guessed that the unit that attacked their hospital was not a guerrilla force behind enemy lines, but the most elite spy company of the 129th Division.

Even with all the encumbrances they carry, they can maintain a marching speed of five kilometers per hour.

And these doctors are not completely useless. During the rapid march through the snowy mountains and forests, they will provide help according to the physical condition of the soldiers.

When the doctors learned that there was going to be a long journey ahead, they went to the hospital's warehouse to get some medicine that could temporarily replenish physical strength.

They even agreed privately to take drugs that are still being studied as soon as they become a complete burden. It is not the methamphetamine used by death squads, but an experimental drug that is not addictive but can cause permanent damage to the body.

At the rear of the special agent company, Li Yunlong, who was in charge of the rearguard, was breathing heavily. He was walking hard and couldn't stop cursing.

"Damn, I've regressed. If only I wasn't so tired before."

Marching on foot has little dependence on roads and is not greatly affected by weather seasons. It can move in various terrains and weather conditions, making it convenient for concealment attempts.

But the shortcomings are also obvious, that is, the traveling speed is slow and the comrades are physically exhausted.

Li Yunlong's situation is not a special case. The other soldiers are also very tired at this time. But everyone is gritting their teeth and persisting. There is still more than an hour before the next planned rest point.

According to the plan, after the rescue mission was completed, they would spend most of their time concealed in the forest. Only in the mountains would they be considered safe and would not be overtaken by the enemy's cavalry, and the Japanese planes would not easily detect them.

In front of him were soldiers from the former Northeastern Army. Although he had not been home for a long time, the current climate made him very familiar.

This Northeastern man was carrying a crooked handle, turned to look at Li Yunlong and said:

"Commander Li, please hold back your words. Save your strength. If you keep acting like this, you will fall behind!"

At the front of the team, Dai Yu, the avant-garde investigator, ran in front of Zheng Yingqi. Seeing the obvious discovery, Zheng Yingqi raised his arms and motioned for everyone to stop.

"Stop and rest where you are."

Dai Yu looked at the tired comrades around him and said with some worry:
Chapter completed!
