Check in from the bright sword

"That's true." Sun Ming said, "If you don't know the communication code, you can't impersonate."

Li Yunlong looked at the walkie-talkie that Zhang Dakui had carried on his back, and said, "It's a pity that such a good thing."

"Regimental Leader, there is no need to be sorry." Wang Yan smiled and comforted, "As long as the devil's armored train is still running on Zhengtai Road, sooner or later it will be the food of our independent regiment."

"In the future, our Spike team will come a few more times to get you some more walkie-talkies!"

"That's right." Li Yunlong said with a smile, "You can't be too greedy. I've got so many benefits this time, I should be satisfied. Pass my order and withdraw!"

At this time, the main force of the independent regiment and the civilian husbands of the transport team had all evacuated.

Immediately, Li Yunlong withdrew with the last remaining Spike Squad and Communication Platoon.

The rapid-fire gun that was originally intended to attack the devil's armored train was also disassembled and carried by the Spike squad. Wei Dayong alone carried the main body of more than a hundred catties.

The long night is finally over.

The land of Sanjin ushered in daylight again.

Yoshio Shinozuka had been standing in the war room for three hours.

From three o'clock in the morning to six o'clock in the morning, I didn't move, and my whole body seemed to be immobilized.

Although the expression on Shinozuka Yoshio's face seemed calm, only Toshi Nakamura, who was most familiar with him, knew that His Excellency the Commander was already furious in his heart.

If the freight train is safe, then all is well.

But if the freight train has any good or bad, then the brigade commander Mitake Tsuda of the 4th Brigade will definitely be finished. If he does not commit seppuku, he will definitely be dismissed or even sent to a military court!

Several staff officers of the headquarters also knew that Yoshio Shinozuka was in a very bad mood at the moment, so they were very careful.

Nakamura Jun even prayed in his heart, praying that nothing would happen to the freight train, otherwise the Japanese army in Shanxi would be in trouble again.

However, what should come will come after all.

"Dinglingling" the phone rang suddenly.

Takashi Tanaka, Chief of Staff of the First Army, who had been standing next to the telephone, picked up the phone and said, "Maxi Maxi!"

After a while, Takashi Tanaka hung up the phone, stood up and reported to Yoshio Shinozuka: "Your Excellency, the freight train has been confirmed to be hijacked!"

Shinozuka Yoshio's eyes turned cold all of a sudden.

After waiting for two seconds, Takashi Tanaka went on to say: "The armored train accompanying the protection was also destroyed. The 11rd Armored Squadron belonging to the 3th Armored Regiment has more than 100 imperial soldiers from the squadron leader Captain Shimadzu to pieces!"

"Understood." Shinozuka Yoshio said indifferently, as if it was just a trivial matter.

A few seconds later, Takashi Tanaka went on to say: "However, Tsuda-kun has already led the main force of the 4th Brigade to Xiyang County to intercept it in advance. If there is no accident, it should be able to stop the Eighth Route Army!"

Yoshio Shinozuka's expression finally eased a little.

As long as the weapons and ammunition can be recovered, everything is easy to say.

The 4th Brigade has already passed Xiyang County.

After arriving in Xiyang County, Tsuda Mitake did not continue to go south, but turned to the east, went to Yetou Town to search and intercept the Eighth Route Army's transport team.

Yetou Town has already belonged to the guerrilla zone of the Eighth Route Army.

Normally, the Japanese army would not come here.

But at this time, Tsuda Mitake couldn't care so much anymore.

What's more, now that the main force of the 4th Brigade is here, the Eighth Route Army can only go around.

At least at this stage, the Eighth Route Army in Southeast Shanxi does not yet have the strength to defeat a Japanese brigade in a short period of time.

After all, the Eighth Route Army in southeast Shanxi is scattered within an area of ​​several hundred kilometers, and Mitake Tsuda absolutely does not believe that the Eighth Route Army has the ability to gather in a short period of time.

During the march, a Type Zero combat reconnaissance plane roared over. After flying over the formation of the 4th Brigade, it began to slow down and fly back and forth.

Soma Jun quickly raised the binoculars and locked on the cockpit of the plane.

Sure enough, the pilot in the cockpit was using sign language non-stop.

Finally, the Type Zero combat reconnaissance plane roared towards the east again.

Soma Jun then reported to Tsuda Mitake: "Brigade Commander, aviation scouts have discovered the Eighth Route Army's convoy! At least tens of thousands of convoys are on the banks of the Gantao River, twenty miles to the east!"

A fierce light flashed across Tsuda Mitake's eyes immediately.

The next moment, Tsuda Mitake drew out his saber and shouted sharply: "Order, target Gantao River, march at full speed!"

With Tsuda Mitake's order, the main force of the 4th Brigade, who had been marching at a regular speed, immediately accelerated, and rushed to the Ganyuan River twenty miles away to the east.

Twenty miles east of Yetou Town, on the main road by the Gantao River.

Nearly [-] civilian husbands are marching with ammunition boxes on their shoulders.

These nearly ten thousand civilian husbands are basically strong young men.

Although everyone carried a large wooden crate on their backs, they still walked like flying.

The long line of civilian husbands stretched along the east bank of the Gantao River for seven or eight miles.

These civilian husbands were talking and laughing while marching, and when they were marching to the comfortable place, an Eighth Route Army soldier suddenly galloped from the front on a fast horse.

"Devil!"

"The devil is coming!"

"The devil is coming from Yetou!"

The next moment, the civilian husbands who were marching along the east bank of the Gantao River turned around at the same time, and turned into several small roads in the northeast direction with their mouthfuls of wooden boxes on their shoulders.

Almost half an hour passed.

The main force of the Japanese 4th Brigade came over in mighty force.

Soma Jun held up the binoculars to look at the reconnaissance plane in the sky, and then said to Tsuda Mitake: "General, the Eighth Route Army's transport team has escaped into the northeast path!"

Tsuda Mitake immediately shouted: "Map!"

Immediately, two staff officers stepped forward and opened the map.

Mitake Tsuda looked at the map, and said in a deep voice, "The Eighth Route Army transport team must want to detour to Daomakou!"

"Order, the independent 11th and 12th brigades will follow and kill, and the main force of the brigade will take a shortcut and go to the horse's mouth!"
