Cross the Songhu battlefield and rise to become the most powerful warlord

39 Breaking out at night

The more Ye Qingshan thought about it, the more he felt that this possibility was the greatest.

At this time, all the institutions of the National Army had been infiltrated by the Japanese like a sieve.

This time, they successfully destroyed the Japanese heavy artillery regiment commander.

Sun Yuanliang must report this to his superiors, and ultimately the report must reach the principal.

With these reports being passed up layer by layer, it would be hard for the Japanese to not know this news.

This would also explain why the surrounding Japanese troops seemed to suddenly understand.

A large-scale search began within a radius of dozens of miles around the heavy artillery regiment.

If Ye Qingshan and his reconnaissance squad had been exposed, the Japanese would have already followed their escape route and chased them all the way.

Instead of what is happening now, the Japanese sent a large number of troops to set up checkpoints and search in this area.

It was obvious that the Japanese knew that they had a reconnaissance team nearby.

However, they didn't know the exact location, so they had no choice but to use this method.

"Damn, this is so unlucky."

Ye Qingshan was speechless. It was really troublesome to have too many stupid teammates.

At the same time, Ye Qingshan was also glad in his heart.

Before he was happy, he told Division Commander Sun Yuanliang that the telegram he sent containing the coordinates of the Japanese heavy artillery regiment did not seem to have leaked the secret.

Otherwise, the Japanese spies would know the news in advance.

This time, their coming out has completely wasted all their previous efforts and they have no chance of destroying the Japanese heavy artillery regiment.

The current situation is a blessing in disguise.

Now that things have come to this, Ye Qingshan has no way to change it.

Now, what he should do is to avoid the search of the surrounding Japanese soldiers and bring the soldiers back.

Fortunately, it was night time and it was pitch dark all around.

It is not easy for the Japanese search team to find Ye Qingshan and his men.

"Captain, there are so many devils."

In a mountain forest, Ye Qingshan brought Xiao Wusheng here to scout.

Looking at the road ahead, we saw a number of Japanese military vehicles coming up, with a large number of Japanese soldiers getting off them.

Xiao Wusheng also said worriedly.

“The devils have already determined that we are in this area.

It is estimated that they have blocked all the surrounding passages at this time.

Tomorrow morning they will begin hunting us down.

We can't just sit there and wait for death.

If we really let the Japanese surround this area, we will be doomed."

"Let's go back.

We have to break out overnight."

Ye Qingshan also had a solemn expression. He still underestimated the determination of the Japanese high-ranking officials to capture their reconnaissance team.

In order to capture Ye Qingshan's reconnaissance squad, the captain of the Japanese Shigeto Detachment, Nakagaki Yingxie, mobilized a full battalion of mobile forces.

There was also the cooperation of other Japanese troops to search for Ye Qingshan and others.

The Japanese detachment leader Zhong Qiyingxie vowed to capture Ye Qingshan and his men to wash away the shame of this battle.

This incident even alarmed the highest commander of the Japanese army in the Songhu battlefield, the old Japanese soldier Matsui Iwane.

The old Japanese soldier Matsui Iwane was also extremely shocked and angry about the loss of an entire heavy artillery regiment.

If they hadn't started tomorrow, they would have launched a general attack on the Kuomintang positions in the Dachang Town area.

The old Japanese Matsui Iwane would not hesitate to remove the detachment commander Zhong Qiyingxie.

In fact, even Matsui Iwane felt sad about the loss of a heavy artillery regiment.

The Japanese army's heavy artillery units were originally small in number.

That was the fortune they had accumulated bit by bit over the years.

Even if this news was passed back to the headquarters in the country, Matsui Iwane would be reprimanded by the headquarters and the Japanese emperor.

Ye Qingshan and the others should also be thankful for this.

If it weren't for the Japanese, they would have launched an all-out attack tomorrow.

So, the Japanese troops coming to hunt them down now are not just a large group.

It would be a regiment, or even a division of the Japanese.

By that time, Ye Qingshan and the other twelve people would definitely have no chance of escaping.

Even though Captain Zhong Qiying Xie hated Ye Qingshan and the others.

He also knows that the overall situation should be given priority.

He has more than 10,000 devils under his command, and after dawn tomorrow, they will be responsible for the important task of attacking the positions of five divisions of the National Army on the front line.

Therefore, he transferred a battalion from his own guard force to search for Ye Qingshan and others.

It is also the largest force he can mobilize.

This leaves Ye Qingshan and the others a glimmer of hope.

At this time, Ye Qingshan had detected the Japanese and tried to block the area and then slowly find them out.

He also decisively took Xiao Wusheng back to the ravine where Black Bear and the others were hiding.

“The devils are trying to block off this area.

We can't stay here any longer, we have to break out to the east overnight."

Ye Qingshan said to Hei Xiong and others.

"Yes!"

Black Bear and others obeyed Ye Qingshan's orders unconditionally.

Immediately, they took advantage of the cover of night and evacuated eastward along the ravine.

The reason why Ye Qingshan chose to retreat eastward.

This is because at this time most of the Japanese main forces were in the west and south.

Because these two directions are also the location of the national army's defensive positions in the Dachang Town area.

Several divisions of the Japanese enemy were concentrated in these two directions, waiting to attack.

At this time, if Ye Qingshan and his men retreated westward towards the position of their third battalion.

Maybe we will encounter other Japanese troops on the way.

For the twelve people including Ye Qingshan at this moment, even if they were entangled by half a squad of Japanese devils, it would be fatal.

On the contrary, Ye Qingshan and his men fled eastward at this time.

It seems that we are fleeing towards the Japanese-occupied area, but it is actually less likely to encounter Japanese troops and is safer.

Half an hour later, Ye Qingshan and his team emerged from the ravine.

Continue east along a road.

According to what Ye Qingshan saw on the map, this road is the only way to the east.

Out of here, heading east they will enter the town.

At that time, it will be more convenient for them to hide.

Otherwise, after daybreak, the Japanese would send out two reconnaissance planes to hover and observe this area for a while.

We can immediately find Ye Qingshan and the others who are hiding in the wilderness.

By that time, Ye Qingshan would be in despair.

"Captain, there are Japanese soldiers at the intersection ahead!"

Black Bear shouted.

Ye Qingshan looked ahead and found that there was indeed a small group of Japanese soldiers guarding the intersection ahead.

“It’s almost dawn.

We must rush forward.”

Ye Qingshan looked up at the sky and said to Black Bear and others.

"Captain, let's kill them.

There aren't many devils at the intersection ahead."

Black Bear said murderously.

"Ah."

Ye Qingshan also nodded, he didn’t have any better solution.

At this time, you can only force it.

"Don't worry, we are the devils now.

The Japanese who were searching for us were also in small groups.

As long as they are not too close, they will not be able to detect any abnormality in us.

Wait until we get closer before you do anything."

"When the battle starts, I will first destroy the enemy's machine gun position.

Rush over as quickly as possible and eliminate the other devils."

Ye Qingshan saw through the torches on the Japanese side that the Japanese had set up a machine gun position at the intersection.

That is the biggest threat to them.

"Yes, Captain."

Everyone responded.

Immediately, Ye Qingshan and his group lined up and walked towards the Japanese at the intersection ahead.

"Stop! Password!"

Soon, the Japanese soldiers in front discovered Ye Qingshan and his group, and immediately became alert.

The leading Japanese sergeant shouted at Ye Qingshan and others.

These Japanese troops must be wary of Ye Qingshan and his men's disguise in order to identify their own people.

Password identification method is deliberately used.

After hearing the shouts from the Japanese sergeant on the opposite side, Ye Qingshan instantly realized that he could no longer pretend.

Because he didn't know the devil's password.

"Oh, the password is...Cao your ancestors!"

boom!

Ye Qingshan took the first move, and the 98K in his hand instantly fired, killing the Japanese sergeant with one shot.

The bullet went through the opponent's eyebrows.

"Black Bear, grenade!"

At the same time, Ye Qingshan also roared.

Black Bear, Da Zhuang and others at the back immediately threw a wave of grenades at the Japanese in front.

Boom boom boom!

Several Japanese soldiers were blown up.

Bang bang bang!

The soldiers of both sides started shooting at each other.

There were not many Japanese soldiers on this side of the intersection, only about twenty of them.

At this time, there were still many Japanese squads like them near this area.

It was specially arranged by the Japanese officer Ye Qingshan who was in charge of the search.

Captain Xie of the Zhongqiying Detachment specially asked his security squadron leader to take charge of the search and capture of Ye Qingshan and his men with his soldiers.

The Japanese security squadron leader, Yamaguchi Sayoshi, knew that Ye Qingshan did not have many soldiers.

Therefore, he divided his Japanese soldiers into dozens of groups to expand the search range.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for them to locate Ye Qingshan and his group.

boom!

Ye Qingshan's marksmanship is as accurate as ever.

In particular, the Japanese side had a better view because of the fire.

Ye Qingshan’s 98K killed almost one person with every shot.

Da da da!

There was a Type 99 light machine gun on the Japanese side of the intersection, and it was firing at Ye Qingshan and his men.

boom!

Then the next second, the Japanese Type 99 light rifle went silent.

Ye Qingshan killed their machine gunner.

The Japanese soldier next to him wanted to go over and continue shooting, but was sniped and killed by Ye Qingshan again.

Ye Qingshan was half-crouching there, using his 98K to stare at the Japanese machine gun position.

Suppress the most ferocious firepower of the Japanese.

Cover Black Bear and the others as they rush over.

At this time, Black Bear had already led Xiao Wusheng and the others and rushed towards the Japanese.

The two sides were not very far apart, about thirty or forty meters.

In just a few breaths, Black Bear and his men rushed to the intersection and engaged in close combat with the Japanese.

Seeing this, Ye Qingshan put away his 98K and rushed forward.

"Is everything okay?"

Halfway through, Ye Qingshan helped up a soldier who had fallen to the ground.

This was a soldier who was shot in the abdomen when they were shooting at the Japanese just now.

"Captain, don't worry about me, go help Black Bear and the others."

The wounded soldier pushed Ye Qingshan away.

Ye Qingshan then rushed over and engaged in close combat with the dozen or so Japanese devils.
