    "Okay, okay, I know that your Kagel Combat Division suffered a lot of casualties, so go back to Shanhaiguan and have a good rest. There is good wine and meat over there."

    With that said, Xia Yang continued to turn his head and look at the Japanese position in the distance.

    There, the Japanese army had built a simple defense line along several low and gentle hillsides.

    At this time, above Xia Yang's head, the reconnaissance plane of the Fourth Army, whistling, passed from low altitude and flew towards the Japanese army.

    They want to investigate the movements of the Japanese army to collect more intelligence about the Japanese army.

    In the mountains on the flanks, the two Japanese infantry divisions still want to advance along the rugged mountain roads.

    Their march in the morning was relatively smooth, except that the advance team of the Kagel Combat Division in the rear caused some casualties to their rear troops.

    If nothing else happens, they can join the main force in one day.

    But along with a burst of rapid gunshots and explosions, came from the front, making Ichiro pull the reins in his hands, sit upright on the horse, and look into the distance.

    Black smoke floats into the clear sky.

    It¡¯s like smearing a stroke with a brush on a blue canvas.

    That was where Kameda Jiro¡¯s troops were marching. Hearing the sound of gunfire and explosions, it seemed that they were ambushed by the enemy, and there were quite a lot of them.

    "Sure enough"

    When Ichiro spoke last time, there was a sense of fate in his tone.

    A telegram from Kameda Jiro was sent, saying that they were ambushed by enemy forces in front. The enemies were numerous and occupied the hillsides on both sides. It would be difficult for them to break through. They asked for Ichiro's opinion.

    After seeing this telegram, Ichiro did not stop and rode along the mountain road to find Jiro Kameda.

    After marching a few kilometers forward, he came to Kameda Jiro's temporary headquarters.

    Here, the sounds of gunfire and explosions ahead become clearer.

    On the mountain road, last time Ichiro could even see the wounded being carried down from the front.  They were lying on stretchers, covered in blood.

    Some had their hands and feet cut off, and the blood flowing out of their blood vessels dyed the bandages red.

    Some were disemboweled by shrapnel, and their intestines and blood flowed out.

    For such a scene, Ichiro has become accustomed to it.

    When he arrived at Kameda Jiro¡¯s temporary headquarters, he saw Kameda Jiro sitting on a stone, smoking a cigarette alone.

    Now, he seems to be integrated with the stone, his movements are slow, like a rusty gear.

    "What¡¯s wrong with you?"

    ¡°Let Ichiro get off his horse and come to Kameda Jiro.

    Seeing the arrival of Ichiro Kameda, Jiro Kameda put out his cigarette, stood up reluctantly and said, "It's nothing, I'm just a little too tired."

    As he spoke, he hammered his aching shoulder with his fist, and then said: "The situation ahead is not very good. We organized two regiments to attack the enemy's ambush position, and you saw the result."

    Jiro Kameda pointed to the wounded Japanese soldiers lying in the woods nearby.

    Last time, Ichiro picked up the telescope and observed the terrain ahead. After a while, he pointed to a steep slope and said, "Can you send a team of people to reach up from there, and then attack the enemy's position from the side?"

    "No, we sent people to try. You can see that there is no one on the top of the mountain. In fact, our people had just climbed halfway when someone came over and cut off our rope.

    More than a dozen soldiers hanging on the ropes fell directly into meat patties.  "

    Having said this, he let out a long sigh.

    Seeing Kameda Jiro like this made Ichiro know last time that it was impossible to pass through the valley entrance ahead.

    In other words, it is impossible for them to pass in a short time.

    ¡°If you give them enough time, such as two days, or even a day and a half, they can kill them.

    But that¡¯s not possible now. Tens of thousands of people from the Kagel Combat Division are still chasing after them.

    If they stop, they may be surrounded by enemies in this area, and they will not be able to escape even if they want to.

    "Let's take another route."

    As Ichiro said last time, he pointed to another route on the map and said: "Go here, this is the only way out. Although it is a bit further, it is better than being blocked here."

    After hearing this, Kameda Jiro turned his head and looked into the distance.The valley is still at war.

    When the counterattack began, a brigade of the Kagel Combat Division that detoured from the flank detoured toward that location.

    By the time the Japanese troops arrived, they had been waiting there for a whole day.

    Taking advantage of the terrain, it was very easy for them to block the Japanese attack.

    Because although the Japanese troops were more numerous than them, the terrain restrictions prevented them from deploying these troops.

    Precisely because of this, the Japanese army¡¯s successive waves of attacks all ended in failure, costing hundreds of casualties but unable to advance further.

    Although there were not many casualties, the cramped terrain also made the Japanese commander realize that it would be a dead end if the division's men continued to fight against Kagel here.

    Because of Ichiro¡¯s decision last time and with the support of Jiro Kameda, the 109th Division, which was originally the rear team, was transformed into a forward force, while the 105th Division followed the 109th Division¡¯s rear.

    They began to turn towards the side road. This road was more difficult to walk and their troops could not be deployed.  The retreating Japanese army spread on a ten-kilometer-long hillside.

    In contrast, the Fourth Army troops chasing them are more likely to be blocked when they pursue them on such a road.

    They only need to deploy a few squadrons of troops at some key passes to stop the advance of tens of thousands of troops from the Fourth Army.

    However, the most feared situation during such a march is that there are enemy soldiers stationed in front of them at a pass that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

    For the Japanese army, it would be a nightmare

    At this time, the Japanese army¡¯s nightmares were building deep positions in the valley.

    In fact, the construction of the position was basically completed yesterday.

    But Zhao Gang still felt that he was not satisfied enough and asked the soldiers to build a deep defensive position.

    In this way, even if they are rushed up by the Japanese army, they will still have a certain amount of space to fight with the Japanese army.

    In front of Zhao Gang, Zhao Zhimin, the platoon leader of the special reconnaissance battalion responsible for liaison with the Eighth Route Army task force, was reporting to Zhao Gang the situation of the Japanese army at this time.

    "The two retreating divisions of the Japanese army have changed their routes and are moving closer to you at this time. You must resist the Japanese attack. Our army will arrive soon." (Remember this site's website address: www.hlnovel.com
