"The situation is a bit wrong." Gu Zhenggang acted very calmly.
"There is something wrong, even if something is wrong, do we still have a chance to let go?" Gui Tianjia frowned.
At this point in the battle, the Eighth Army and the Ninth Army suffered huge casualties. Therefore, if they cannot completely eliminate the independent detachment and obtain the rewards promised by Harem Chun, Gui Tianjia and Gu Zhenggang are destined to lose everything. Therefore, even if Something was really wrong with the situation as Gu Zhenggang said, and they had no better choice but to go all the way.
"The Fujita Department has expert guidance." Gu Zhenggang said: "Look, although they started to escape, their formation was not chaotic."
On how to safely evacuate the battlefield when the two armies were fighting, the Japanese deserters of the independent detachment had already mastered the essentials under Zhang Xuyun's many personal demonstrations. Therefore, in Gu Zhenggang's eyes, although the Fujita tribe began to retreat, it was in an orderly manner. It didn't leave too many defensive holes.
"Where are the Fifth County and the Thirteenth Army? Could they have set up an ambush behind them?" Gu Zhenggang immediately thought of such a question.
Gui Tianjia was quite dismissive of his worries. He said disdainfully: "You think too highly of Xue Degui and Zhao Chengqi. They are the only ones. Do they have this ability? In the northwest, look at the dust and smoke rising there. These dogs The mother-in-law has disappeared from sight a long time ago. Haha, it’s so damn strange. When did the Japanese become so selfless and actually willing to serve as the queen of the National Defense Force? Humph, this bastard Fujita probably thinks they are still the Kwantung Army in the early years."
Gu Zhenggang thought for a moment, but although he still felt uneasy, he didn't say anything else. Ten minutes later, just as he and Gui Tianjia were about to arrive at the place where the fierce battle had taken place, he finally understood his uneasiness as a series of explosions sounded. Where did it come from?
Explosions sounded one after another, and a large area of the puppet army chasing at the front was blown down. Because most of them were from the Eighth Army, Gui Tianjia's face suddenly turned black and purple. He waved his telescope He yelled: "What a fool, when did they plant the landmines?"
The question of when the independent detachment planted the landmines is doomed to be unanswered, because the people who planted the landmines were the people of the Thirteenth Army, and the job the independent detachment did was to remove the signs on those landmines when they retreated. That's all.
At this time, the Fifth Army and the Thirteenth Army, led by Xue Degui, had retreated to a certain distance from the Kuancheng military camp. They were temporarily safe. With the explosion, Xue Degui chuckled and said to Zhao Chengqi: "The bastard named Gui, this is enough for him to drink a pot."
Only the engineering battalion of the Thirteenth Army, which was executed by Zhang Xuyun and Xue Degui, knew that the mines were laid in the military camp. Zhao Chengqi heard this and asked curiously: "Brother Xue, you also set up a mechanism in the military camp."
"It's just a minefield."
"The minefields are the places where the wooden signs saying 'Beware of Mines' are inserted."
"Um."
"Damn, I thought that was a bluff."
"You're bluffing, Brother Zhao. Now that we've reached this point, I'll tell you something from my heart. It doesn't matter who we follow in the future. In short, we must not offend the Langya people."
"Zhang Xuyun is from Langya."
"He himself said it was a quasi-Langya, but I don't believe it. I have seen Chief Zhang's marksmanship, and it is absolutely accurate. I heard that this is the most basic condition for being selected into the Langya, and the commander-in-chief of the Langya also It is General Ding Yiding who is leading his troops to attack Harbin. I heard that his best skill is throwing steel needles. He can hit wherever he wants within a distance of fifty meters. If he says he will hit your left eyeball, he will never hit your eyeball."
"Is he so awesome?"
"No one knows this, because it is said that everyone who has seen what he did is already dead."
"ah."
Not mentioning the gossip between Xue Degui and Zhao Chengqi, but saying that Zhang Xuyun led the independent detachment to withdraw to the armory of the Thirteenth Army that was previously ordered to be blown up by Xue Degui. He turned around and stood still and said: "Okay, gather."
Fujita was standing next to him at this time. After withdrawing from the front line, Fujita's fear of death returned to him again, and because he felt that following Zhang Xuyun was the safest, he followed Zhang Xuyun closely and refused to take a step away.
"Gather, gather, head, we're going to turn around and fight."
"It depends."
Zhang Xuyun said, "It depends on the situation." A series of explosions sounded not far away. During the explosions, Fujita turned around and saw many puppet soldiers dancing on the top of the explosion cloud. He immediately raised his thumb and said: "Your Excellency, You are so amazing, Gui Tianjia and Gu Zhenggang are completely defenseless."
Zhang Xuyun smiled and asked, "Do you think they still dare to pursue me?"
"I definitely wouldn't dare. If it were me, I would be scared to death."
"Where are the grenades? Take out the grenades. Inoue, it's your turn now. Do you still have the strength?"
Inoue Shigetoshi is the captain of the grenade group selected by Zhang Xuyun. He originally had more than forty grenadiers who were much stronger than ordinary Japanese deserters. Now there are about thirty people left. He heard Zhang Xuyun's call. He immediately came out of the queue respectfully, quickly gathered the team, and said to Zhang Xuyun: "Sir, we have plenty of strength."
"Very good, each person picks up five grenades and prepares to throw them when I give my order. Remember, I ordered you to throw them out in the shortest possible time."
"Hai."
The damage caused by the landmines planted by the Thirteenth Army in advance to the Eighth Army and the Ninth Army was actually quite limited. After all, the landmines were controlled by the Kwantung Army. There were not many left by the Thirteenth Army, but their impact on the puppet troops The blow to morale was huge, so much so that when the explosions stopped, all the puppet troops stopped moving forward, looking frightened because they didn't know if there were still landmines ahead.
Gui Tianjia and Gu Zhenggang had already arrived at the front line at this time. The former was very angry when he saw this. He viciously reprimanded a group of generals who were leading his team, and then asked them to continue the pursuit: "They are all pig brains and have mines. I didn't know how to disperse my troops back then, but now that the mines are obviously gone, I don't dare to continue chasing. Chase, catch up, catch those Japs, and cut them into pieces for me."
Regarding the puppet troops of the Ninth Army, Gui Tianjia's words were an imperial edict, so although he was very frightened in his heart, no one dared to disobey him, so the Ninth Army launched again under the scolding and leadership of dozens of officers. They pursued, and just when they chased about a few hundred meters away again, thinking that there were no more landmines, following Zhang Xuyun's order, the grenade group of the independent detachment suddenly rushed out from the fireworks in the armory and charged at them. About one hundred and fifty grenades were thrown.
If the previous mines had exhausted the courage of the puppet soldiers, then this round of grenades was the last straw that broke the camel's back on a cloudy day. Only then did the explosion sound, and the puppet soldiers who rushed to the front
Just like a frightened bird, it shouted and then dispersed.
At this point, Gui Tianjia and Gu Zhenggang completely lost control of the troops.
