Chapter 457: The Moment of Desire

"The Japanese army relies on trucks for supplies. In this mountain, there are very few places where Japanese trucks can pass, and the Japanese army pursues us all the way. The supply areas must have reached their limit. As long as we find a road that can allow Japanese trucks to pass,

Japanese supply vehicles can be found along the road."

Although China's roads were very dilapidated, they also gave the Japanese army great constraints.

Half an hour later, a Japanese reconnaissance plane flew over again. This time the soldiers of Zhao Zhiguo's regiment removed all disguises and deliberately exposed themselves to the Japs.

After the Little Devil reconnaissance plane saw the Chinese troops below, he immediately reported what he discovered to the ground troops.

Seeing the Japanese planes flying away, Zhao Zhiguo ordered again, asking the soldiers to put on camouflage and move in the direction they came from.

Because the sentry at the entrance of the cave was deceived by Yao Pengju, Commander Qi and others inside the cave were unaware of it and had no idea what was happening.

The Japanese troops on the ground were actually very close to the cave in a straight line. After all, Zhao Zhiguo and the others walked half a night and could not walk very far in the mountains.

An hour later, the Japanese army appeared in Zhao Zhiguo's field of vision.

After Zhao Zhiguo saw the Japanese troops, he quickly ordered the troops to hide on the spot and let the Japanese troops pass.

After the little devil learned the location of the Chinese army, he marched very fast. After another ten minutes, he arrived near the cave.

The Japanese army did not discover the location of the cave at the beginning. Instead, a soldier walked out of the cave to use the toilet. He discovered that the sentry at the entrance of the cave was missing and immediately reported it to Commander Qi.

When Captain Qi heard that the sentry post was missing, he immediately thought of Zhao Zhiguo and ran out to look for Zhao Zhiguo.

It is better to arrive early than to arrive late. When they came out to look for Zhao Zhiguo, Commander Qi's troops encountered the Japs.

Commander Qi's soldiers were already in physical decline due to lack of food and had low morale. In encounters, they were no match for the Japanese army.

If it weren't for the desperate protection of the soldiers, Commander Qi would have almost died under the gunfire of the Japanese army.

Commander Qi and the others could only retreat to the cave and guard the entrance.

The little Japanese wanted to devour Commander Qi and the others in one go, but the entrance to the cave was so narrow that it was difficult to deploy their troops. As long as they could not retreat from the cave, they could completely block the Japanese charge.

The Japanese army killed more than 20 soldiers after two attacks, so they had to suspend the attack and use machine guns to block the entrance of the cave to prevent the Chinese troops inside the cave from rushing out.

"Captain, it seems that Commander Qi and the others are fighting with the Japanese army!"

Listening to the gunshots not far away, Zhao Zhiguo knew that the Japanese army had discovered the entrance of the cave, and their plan was half successful.

"Let's go, let's take action as soon as possible."

Zhao Zhiguo gave the order and the troops began to move in the direction they came from.

Captain Qi, who was in the cave, learned that he was blocked by the Japanese army and was so angry that he cursed Zhao Zhiguo. He had already concluded that Zhao Zhiguo had abandoned them.

When the Japanese commander rushed to the battlefield, he also determined that his troops had blocked the main force of the Chinese army they were pursuing in the cave.

Under the orders of the Japanese joint captain, the Japs were not in a hurry to attack. Anyway, it was just this hole. If the Chinese army wanted to escape, they had to rush out of this hole.

"The commander of this army is nothing more than that."

Seeing the cave chosen by the Chinese army to hide in, the Japanese army captain couldn't help but laugh. Hiding the troops in such a desperate situation with no guard posts around, the commander of the Chinese army obviously had a broken mind.

The Little Devil Captain even thought that this battle ended so simply, and it was a bit boring.

But this is war, and if the enemy allows you to do something simply, there must be a trap.

Zhao Zhiguo led his troops on a rapid march. They passed by the woods where they fought yesterday, but they did not stop and continued to march forward.

No one in the army spoke. At this time, the soldiers in the army were all soldiers trained by Zhao Zhiguo, and the marching speed was not slow.

"If I remember correctly, the five kilometers ahead should be the trail we finally escape from!"

Zhao Zhiguo relied on his memory to look at the twin-shaped mountain peaks and recalled the path they had taken.

A small road was definitely not the target Zhao Zhiguo and the others were looking for. After all, it was impossible for the Japanese army to transport supplies here by truck.

Searching aimlessly for the Japanese army's logistics troops in the mountains is not an effective method at all, just like the Japanese army searching for their traces in the mountains.

"Captain, it's been six hours since we set out, and we haven't found any road nearby for trucks to pass, let alone any trace of the Japanese troops."

Zhao Zhiguo dispersed the soldiers, and they searched for nearly an hour without any results.

"Keep going back!"

Zhao Zhiguo firmly believed that as long as he found a main road, he could follow the road and find the Japanese army's trucks. If he found the Japanese army's trucks, he could find the Japanese army's supplies.

Until the sun sets, the scouts sent out by Zhao Zhiguo still haven't found anything they want.

Sometimes when you really want to find something, you turn the whole place over and you can't find it! But when you don't want to look for it, it suddenly appears in front of you.

"The soldiers are also tired. Let's rest for an hour! We will wait for the other scouts to come back and then we will think of a solution." Zhao Zhiguo ordered.

While waiting, a scout came back with news that he saw a fire not far away.

Because it was quite far away, the scouts were not sure if that was the target they were looking for. Maybe there was a village in the mountains.

"Wherever there is fire, there is hope. Even if it is a village, we can at least find a guide and ask them about the nearby roads."

No matter what the fire was, it was definitely a valuable target. Zhao Zhiguo decisively ordered the troops to gather and move towards the place where the fire was.

The closer he got to the place with the fire, the more excited Zhao Zhiguo became, because the fire was a continuous patch, not just dots!

"Captain, it's a group of bonfires, definitely not a village." Gao Cang said excitedly.

They had been looking for their target for a day, and it was undoubtedly a shot in the arm to show up at this time.

After learning that they had found the target they wanted to attack, the soldiers also became excited, each one like a hungry wolf.

Just in that fire, there was the ammunition and food they needed. As long as they ate the enemies there, they wouldn't have to go hungry.

"Yao Pengju, let's go over and conduct reconnaissance first to see the enemy's deployment. The rest of us will stay where we are."
