Tsukimatsu and his brothers sped up and ran from the west bank of the Wugula River to the east bank of the Masa River. Ikeda led his team in hot pursuit. Although Ikeda was eager to avenge Nakata, he was intimidated by the strength of Tsukimatsu and the others.
, he asked Sergeant Kubota to lead two Japanese soldiers to the front, and he led the team to follow behind.
At the same time, the captain of the Japanese light infantry brigade sent Second Lieutenant Asakura to lead the team, which was divided into three groups to surround Yuematsu's reconnaissance team. Asakura himself led a dozen infantrymen, and Sergeant Cao Jiangchuan led a dozen infantrymen.
Cao Endo also led a dozen infantrymen, with Egawa's team rushing at the front, Asakura following behind, and Endo going around to attack Tsukimatsu's back.
In the hot jungle, after running for seven or eight miles in a row, the brothers were all soaked to the skin. The military uniforms were wrapped around their bodies and clinging to their skin. They were sweating profusely and their breath was hot.
"Captain, please take a break." Huineng was a big man with a heavy machine gun, so he first requested a break.
Panting, Yuesong went up a small slope and said, "Rest where you are and be careful."
Upon hearing this, Hui Neng put down his machine gun, lay down on the ground, and rested while keeping an eye on the Japanese who were chasing behind him.
Yuesong sat on the ground, lit a cigarette, took two puffs, and said to Cao Gen'er: "Call Shaoqiu and Lei Hang over."
"Yes." Cao Gen'er quickly called the two of them over.
"Shaoqiu, look, several groups of Japanese people are chasing and outflanking us now. The purpose is very clear, which is to eliminate us and create conditions for their large forces to advance secretly. You are familiar with this place. Think about it, where are we?
We can ambush and kill a group of enemies, so that we can quickly ask the Japanese to pursue and surround them." Yuesong picked up a branch and drew a sketch on the ground.
"Captain, I think of a place, it should be here. There is a hilltop here. To the south of the hilltop is a small waterfall. Under the waterfall is a pool, and below the pool is a small stream. The slope is gentler on the west side of the hilltop, and on the north and east sides.
They are all relatively steep, and it is a good place there, but we must be quick to ambush the outflanking enemies from the west before they arrive, and then attack and retreat as quickly as possible." Shaoqiu said clearly.
Yuesong took a puff of cigarette and asked, "How long does it take to get there from here?"
"For someone like me who often runs in this forest, twenty minutes is enough."
"Boy, do you think you are the only one who often runs in the woods? We are a special force. We can run, jump, climb and climb. If you can arrive in twenty minutes, we will definitely be able to pass on my orders.
When I finish smoking this cigarette, everyone will maintain the current formation and you will lead the way and go straight to the ambush point."
"Yes." Shaoqiu imitated everyone else's military salute and ran over.
"Lei Hang, how is the radio station?" Yuesong asked Lei Hang.
"Captain, it's all my fault. I didn't pay attention to concealment. The antenna was interrupted. You have to give me time to repair it." Lei Hang said a little frustrated.
Yuesong patted Lei Hang on the shoulder and encouraged him, saying, "Silly boy, you have been with me for two or three years and you haven't learned yet. As long as people are around, any difficulty can be solved."
"Yes, captain, as long as you give me time, I believe I can repair the radio antenna." Lei Hang's eyes shined with confidence.
Yuesong threw the cigarette butt on the ground, which was still smoking. Yuesong said: "I'm telling everyone to march as fast as we can for twenty minutes."
"Yes." Lei Hang looked at the cigarette butts on the ground, "Captain, what are you doing?"
"It's convenient for the little devil to track. The sooner you come, the sooner you die."
