Okamura didn't know how many times he had cursed the enemy's despicableness in his heart.
On the horse, he looked at the soldiers who were looking slightly tired, and then looked in the direction of Kuandian. He only had one sentence in his heart that he wanted to send to the enemy commander.
Can you...can you be a human being for once? Can you, stop being so insidious?
Recalling that he led his troops to Kuandian quickly, but did not find even a hair there, he almost cried out of the grievance and frustration in his heart.
What the enemy did, completely disrupted his own thinking and pulled his correct judgment in the wrong direction.
There was no one in Kuandian, so they must be in the Shuizhu Forest. Thinking of his own stupidity and the other party's insidiousness, he could only curse and lead the soldiers in pursuit towards the Shuizhu Forest.
I should have gone directly to Shuizhu Forest. I wasted so much time and tortured the soldiers like dogs. It was my fault.
Okamura blamed himself in his heart, but beside him, the staff officer following him was a little worried. Is there any use in going to Shuizhu Forest now?
Not only were the soldiers tired due to the back and forth, but also the time was wasting away little by little. I am afraid that the enemy would have escaped long ago by this time.
Now that this moment has passed, is it still necessary?
"Your Excellency, detachment leader, do we really need to go to the Shuizhu Forest? The enemy may have fled now. If we go there, we may still be in vain." Looking at the soldiers who were already slowing down in walking, the staff officer came to Gangcun and extended his hand.
He pointed in the direction of the water bamboo forest and asked.
Gangcun looked at the staff officer and said, "Of course we have to go. Although there are bamboo forests where they can build bamboo rafts, there are navy ships patrolling the river, and their crossing the river will definitely be hindered. If we go there, we can still
Intercept some of them."
It is true that there are naval ships on the river, but now, these ships are not in the Shuizhu Forest, but near the Xiaguan River.
Also, the navy and the army are at odds, so the army doesn't know if they let the other side go on purpose.
"That's what the detachment leader said." The staff officer Tinggangcun explained. Feeling much relieved, he turned back to encourage the soldiers walking on the road: "Warriors, the dawn of victory is ahead. Speed up your pace. We are heading to the Shuizhu Forest.
The riverside in winter is much colder than other places. The bits of mist formed on the river surface and the blowing of the river wind made Zhou Weiguo tighten his military coat and curl it up into a ball, forming a ball with the soldiers of the artillery company.
He huddled up in a low-lying place covered with weeds to avoid the whistling cold wind.
It was a gloomy day today, but the moonlight that should have shone on the ground never appeared at all. It was pitch black. Zhou Weiguo distributed the remaining cigarettes he had snatched from the Japanese army and lit them with matches.
With the help of this weak firelight, he raised his wrist and looked at it. He had been here for nearly three hours, and it was already past eleven o'clock.
Don't you come? You shouldn't. The enemy lets you act like a monkey. They don't come out to vent their anger. This is not their style.
Sparse footsteps came from behind, followed by a dark shadow running down.
"Commander, commander, there's fire on the ground across the way." The observation post shouted, causing Zhou Weiguo to take two puffs of his cigarette and stand up to look across the way.
In the direction of the bamboo forest, numerous torches illuminate the water bamboo forest so clearly.
Although the appearance of the people could not be clearly seen, the reason why there were so many torches was definitely not the local people, but the pursuing Japanese troops.
"The food is on the table. Brothers, let them have a hearty meal. If they are tired from the journey, give them a ring. This can be regarded as a gift from us."
Zhou Weiguo shouted at the artillerymen surrounding him.
The soldiers dispersed in a hurry and each came to their respective positions.
The three infantry cannons had been deployed a long time ago and were even aimed in the direction of Shuizhulin according to Zhou Weiguo's prediction. Now, all they needed to do was load the shells and they could hit the opponent's face directly.
There are clearly visible traces of the sparse bamboo forest everywhere, and the bamboo leaves piled up on the ground are still so fresh.
The traces of being trampled and dragged out are clearly visible.
Okamura got off his horse and came to the riverside to look at the sword with resentment.
He could only see that the river was flowing slowly forward, but on the opposite side, it was pitch black and he couldn't see anything clearly.
"Baga, those bastards from the Navy's Red Deer, they are all for a living. Could it be that they just watched the enemy pass by without any interception?"
The fire was rising little by little. I worked hard to lead the troops over, but I didn't expect that they were defeated again. There was no shadow of the enemy. What was left for me was only some bamboo strips discarded on the ground in the main sea area that had been cut down. Well,
, and some unused bamboo.
What does this mean? This is humiliation. This is a humiliation to one's own wisdom.
No matter how you look at it, the dozens of bamboos that the other party didn't use on the ground were humiliating themselves.
They took their time cutting down the bamboo here, and even cut out the excess.
Not counting this, there are still two bamboo rafts left by the river.
This this……
brush……
The cold light flickered. Gangcun drew his command knife and came to the bamboo raft that had not been dragged down by the river. He waved the command knife and chopped with all his strength to vent his grievances.
Shhhhhhhh...
The moment the sound of breaking through the sky sounded, Gangcun turned his head slightly and looked into the sky.
His face became stiff little by little, and eventually, it turned from stiffness to panic.
In this panic, an explosion went off.
The screams coming from the forest made Gangcun ignore his own comfort and went to the riverside, raised his command knife and shouted angrily: "As evidenced by the sky, you and I are incompatible with each other."
Boom boom...boom...
Every flash of fire indicates that the enemy is being taken away by artillery shells.
Three infantry guns, each issued with five shells.
As soon as the cannonball was empty, Zhou Weiguo looked at the bamboo forest on the opposite side that had set himself on fire. He waved his hand and said, "Let's go and push the cannon away. Our mission is completed. Let's go to the front to join the brothers."
The group of people dragged the artillery down the river embankment, then entered the cold and hard road and walked towards the village.
After walking about two kilometers, the village appeared looming, and the wooden archway that had been built at some point and had cracked several gaps appeared in sight.
Zhou Weiguo stared and saw that there seemed to be a person standing under the archway.
Xiao Ya, she is waiting for herself again.
Zhou Weiguo ran over. Who was it but Xiao Ya who was leaning on the pillar of the archway? Next to Xiao Ya, Xueyi spread her raincoat on the ground and sat down, with her head resting on Xiao Ya's slender calves. That's it.
She closed her eyes and fell asleep. And she was still wearing a military coat.
"Why are you here? I don't want you to have a good rest." Zhou Weiguo said, taking off his military coat and putting it on Xiao Ya.
