After landing, the Japanese naval special forces quickly rushed towards Tiger Leaping Cliff.
They were very close to Tiger Leaping Cliff and were traveling lightly, so they occupied Tiger Leaping Cliff around three o'clock in the night.
There are two squadrons in total, and they are deploying defenses at various important locations along Tiger Leaping Cliff.
But Dragon Boat Festival is not a vegetarian, and when it arrived near Tiger Leaping Cliff, it smelled of danger.
And the sky is getting brighter, and the view is much wider.
One kilometer away, he used a telescope to detect the direction of Tiger Leaping Cliff. The silent mountain pass seemed to be waiting for them to arrive.
Pang Hu glanced at the silent Tiger Leaping Cliff and said: "Tuanzuo, it seems that the Japanese have not set up defenses here. And could the Japanese have expected that we would come to Tiger Leaping Cliff?"
Duanwu took out a map and pointed out to Pang Hu: "The straight-line distance between Tiger Leaping Cliff and the Yangtze River is less than ten kilometers. The little devil is in a high-spirited state. If the devil's commander's brain is not rusty, he will definitely ambush here.
. So what we see now may be just an illusion. The Japanese have already opened their pockets and waited for us at Tiger Leaping Cliff.
And have you noticed that there are not even sounds of birds and animals in the huge forest? Someone must have entered Tiger Leaping Cliff before and frightened them away.
So if my guess is correct, the Japanese have already made arrangements on Tiger Leaping Cliff, and just waiting for us to get into our pockets, they will lock us in."
Pang Hu frowned and said: "Tuanzuo, what should we do? We can't waste time with the Japanese here, right? Moreover, the physical strength of the soldiers is very high. If this continues, the Japanese will probably kill us alive."
At this time, Duanwu also realized this. The continuous fighting had exhausted the soldiers physically and mentally. And if he hadn't been giving them hope, they might not have been able to hold on at this time.
But what hope can he give them now? Should he take the risk of rushing over Tiger Leaping Cliff, or should he look for other opportunities to escape?
"hold head high?"
Dragon Boat Festival suddenly had a flash of inspiration, as if he thought of something. This may be a way to survive. The Japanese soldiers sent troops from the water to Hutiao Cliff to intercept them, in order to intercept their retreat to the west. To the east, I am afraid the Japanese soldiers also have arrangements. But to the east
What about the north? Cross the Yangtze River to the other side of the river, and at least temporarily you can get out of trouble. It would be better if the Japs are not fortified on the other side of the river. Because after all, the Japs’ mission now is to attack, whether it is north of the Yangtze River or south of the Yangtze River.
of.
So Duanwu had a bold idea. While the Japs were waiting for him at Tiger Leaping Cliff, he went to take the Japs' escape route. Because the Japs must need a boat to land on the beach, and they couldn't get ashore without a boat. So.
If you seize the little devil's boat, then the little devil will have no choice but to swim in the Yangtze River.
Thinking of this, Duanwu and Pang Hu said: "Brothers, let's work hard, hard, let's go take the little devil's escape route. Remember to ask brothers to pay attention to what they are carrying and don't drop it. The injured brother has his wounds bandaged."
"
"yes!"
Pang Hu said happily, because in such a desperate situation, what they hope most is to hear from the group leader that there is still a way and a place to go, even to raid the enemy's lair.
Pang Hu went down to deliver the order, and each of the special forces members lying on the ground felt like they were stuck to the ground. They didn't want to leave anymore because they were very tired. They didn't know how much distance they had run from yesterday to now. Moreover,
All the food he had with him was eaten.
At this time, many people's stomachs were growling with hunger. But the little food left had to be eaten by the wounded.
There is still a small amount of water in the kettle. Although many people are so thirsty that their throats are smoking, they are reluctant to take a sip because the wounded need water more than they do now.
Exhaustion made many soldiers no longer want to leave, but at this moment, Pang Hu brought them good news.
Although Tiger Leaping Cliff was blocked by the Japanese, they had a better place to go, and that was the Yangtze River.
When the Yangtze River was mentioned, the soldiers seemed to gain strength all of a sudden. Because they were very thirsty, and there was water in the Yangtze River.
So when they heard the news, everyone stood up again, packed their things, and prepared to leave.
But at this moment, a scout came back and reported: "Report to the regiment, the Japanese have caught up with us, and they are less than 500 meters away from us."
Duanwu nodded and ordered again: "Everyone must check everything. After Pang Hu is cut off, any traces found will be erased. We can't let the devils discover our whereabouts anymore, otherwise the devils only need a telegram. We
The only way out is cut off."
"yes!"
Everyone split up and went around the east side of Tiger Leaping Cliff instead of taking Tiger Leaping Cliff.
Tiger Leaping Cliff controls the gateway to the west, and most of the east side is filled with forests.
Although the Japanese sent scouts here, there were only a few of them.
Of course, this is not because they have ignored it, because they know that there are their river defense troops on the other side of the river. Therefore, if the Chinese soldiers are lucky enough to cross the river, they will also become a living target for the river defense troops.
So one of them ignored it, and the other took the opportunity to kill the sentry and quietly bypassed Tiger Leaping Cliff.
At the same time, Takeshita Junzheng was coming here with his special forces and two infantry squadrons.
They ran out of the forest and headed straight for Tiger Leaping Cliff, but what surprised them was that there was no gunfire from the direction of Tiger Leaping Cliff.
Ban Heng's guard captain asked strangely: "Sir, why are there no gunshots in the direction of Tiger Leaping Cliff? Could it be that the navy's special team hasn't arrived yet?"
Takeshita Toshidao: "This shouldn't be the case. They should have arrived two hours earlier than us."
"Your Excellency, then I will take people to investigate."
"Hello?"
After the guard captain finished speaking, he led the people away. Takeshita Jun didn't stop him even if he wanted to. However, he thought it was okay. Tiger Leaping Cliff was very weird and asked the guard captain to investigate. There were only advantages and no disadvantages.
But Takeshita Jun ignored one thing, that is, the Navy Special Forces received the news that they were intercepting the Chinese Special Forces at Tiger Leaping Cliff. One of their characteristics was that they were wearing the clothes of the Imperial Army. There were not many people, only about twenty
to thirty people.
As for Ban Heng's guard captain, he happened to go with more than twenty people to investigate.
The officers of the Japanese Navy Special Forces used their binoculars to see the guard captain and others rushing from the road, and became very excited. Because they waited for two hours at Tiger Leaping Cliff in the cold early morning, and finally waited for the enemies of the empire.
.
He continued: "Beat me hard for a while, don't let anyone go. And don't care what they say. Because Mr. Matsui has told me, these enemies are cunning and cunning, and they can speak Japanese. So you must not be beaten."
They were lied to."
"Hi!"
A Japanese adjutant went down to deliver the order. However, at this moment, he heard the guard captain standing on the road and shouting loudly in Japanese: "Is there anyone in the mountains? Come out and speak."
The officers of the Navy's special team became increasingly proud: "Did you see it? These Chinese people are indeed cunning and cunning. They were afraid of an ambush on the mountain, so they even shouted to test me. Baga, do they think I, Captain Xinan Palace, am a fool?....
