The first thousand four hundred and tenth chapter strong enemy attack
There had just been a heavy rain in the dense mountain forest, and the rotten leaves exuded a damp smell. The officers and soldiers of the Lieyan Special Warfare Brigade covered the rescued officers and soldiers and evacuated towards Dahong Mountain.
Since the rescued officers and soldiers were very weak, Yang Ling and the others did not march very fast, and they arrived near Jingmen two days later.
While Yang Ling and the others were moving and evacuating on the rugged mountain roads in the forest, Xuan Daogao, the brigade commander of the 18th Japanese mixed brigade, had deployed a large number of Japanese troops to pursue and intercept Yang Ling and the others.
At the same time, the commander of the Japanese 18th Mixed Brigade, Takaya Xuanshima, sent a telegram to the Japanese mainland advance team, requesting their support.
After all, the Japanese mainland advance team performs special combat missions, and they are better at dealing with elite small units like Yang Ling and others.
The Japanese mainland advance team was defeated in the Battle of Yichang, and more than half of their subordinate Wolf Squadron was lost in the battle. It can be said that their vitality was damaged.
They have always wanted to take revenge on Yang Ling and the Flame Special Forces Squadron, but Yang Ling and the others withdrew to the mountain village to rest after the battle in Jingzhen Mountain, leaving the Japs Wolf Squadron with nowhere to vent their anger.
The commander of the Wolf Squadron, Makino Kanichi, was very unwilling to lose at the hands of Yang Ling and the others. After the Yichang battle ended, he returned to the headquarters of the Mainland Advancement Team and spent the entire day training the members of the Japanese special forces under him in a melancholy manner.
When he learned that the prisoner-of-war camp in Dangyang had been attacked by an elite squadron and that thousands of captured Chinese officers and soldiers had been rescued, Makino Kanichi almost without any doubt felt that they must be in Yichang
Encountered the elite Chinese elite troops.
Because among all the Chinese troops he encountered, only the elite Chinese troops he encountered in Yichang made him feel threatened.
In the operations hall of the heavily guarded headquarters of the Japanese Continental Advance Team, a Japanese general wearing a major general uniform was holding his hands on the table, staring at the map spread out on the table with a gloomy expression.
Sonorous footsteps came from outside the door, and a thin and tall soldier strode into the combat hall.
"General!"
Makino Kanichi stood up straight and raised his hand in a standard military salute to the general in general's uniform.
The Japanese general slowly raised his head and looked directly at Makino Kanichi with his sharp eyes.
"How is the combat effectiveness of the Wolf Squadron restored?" the Japanese general asked.
After the Wolf Squadron lost more than half of its troops in Yichang and returned to the headquarters, the headquarters added a group of manpower to them, and these days they are trained by Makino Kanichi himself.
Makino Kanichi replied loudly: "The combat effectiveness has been restored to about 80%!"
"Then do you know why I called you here today?" The Japanese general immediately put his hands behind his back and asked.
Makino Kanichi stood up and replied: "I know something. The Dangyang prisoner of war camp was attacked by an elite Chongqing army..."
"Yes, the Chongqing army penetrated deeply into our occupied area and came and went freely. The attack caused heavy losses to our soldiers and embarrassed the Imperial Japanese Army. This is a provocation to our Imperial Japanese Army!"
The Japanese general paused and said: "And according to reliable intelligence analysis, this elite Chongqing army is very likely to be the Chongqing army that appeared on the battlefield in Yichang. I hope you will lead the team to eliminate them this time and regain what belongs to you."
Kudos to Wolf Squadron!”
The Japanese general of the mainland advance team stared at Makino Kanichi: "This time I will add the best soldiers to you. I hope you will not let me down!"
"Hi!"
Makino Kanichi bowed his head heavily, his eyes burning with fighting spirit.
The last time they lost on the battlefield in Yichang, he would never allow the defeat to happen again this time.
"Pack up and set off. I'm waiting for the news of your victory." The Japanese general said with hope.
"Hiyi!"
After Makino Kanichi stood up and saluted a military salute, he immediately turned around and strode out of the combat hall.
Looking at Makino Kanichi's upright back, the Japanese general clenched his fists, his face full of desire for victory.
Although their Continental Advance Team has been established for such a long time, they have no successful record. He hopes that this time the Wolf Squadron can make their Continental Advance Team feel proud and proud.
After returning to the camp where his squadron was located, the commander of the Demon Wolf Squadron, Makino Kanichi, immediately summoned his soldiers to assemble.
The Japanese soldiers of the Wolf Squadron who were training in the camp reacted very quickly, and soon they were neatly dressed and assembled into a square formation.
Now the Wolf Squadron has once again recovered 200 men, all of whom are elite veterans carefully selected from the regular troops. It can be said that the combat effectiveness is better than before.
Two hundred Japs from the Wolf Squadron stood in silence in the open space, and a chilling atmosphere filled the air.
"An elite unit of the Chongqing Army attacked our prisoner of war camp. Thousands of prisoners of war were rescued. We killed and injured hundreds of soldiers. What do you think we should do?"
Makino Kanichi didn't say anything nonsense, and his angry voice directly rang in the ears of the Japs in Wolf Squadron.
"kill!"
The Japs had fierce looks on their faces and arrogance in their voices.
The Japs soldiers have always had their eyes on their heads and do not take the victims seriously at all. For them, killing is the best way to solve the problem.
"I must tell you that this Chongqing army is very powerful in combat, not even inferior to yours. They are also ruthless and murderous!" Makino Kanichi reminded loudly when he saw these proud soldiers.
"Must win!"
"Long live the Imperial Army of Japan!"
These Japanese soldiers were not afraid because they heard about the strength of the Lieyan Special Warfare Brigade. Instead, they aroused the most ferocious aura in their bones. They were all high-spirited and wished they could fly to Dangyang now to meet the officers and soldiers of the Lieyan Special Warfare Brigade.
Fight.
Makino Kanichi's face was serious. Seeing that the morale of the Wolf Squadron under his command was so high, his confidence doubled.
On the battlefield in Yichang, they were careless and underestimated the enemy and lost more than half of their troops, but this time, he wanted to wash away the shame with the blood of those Chongqing troops.
"Set off!"
Makino Kanichi didn't waste any words and gave the order coldly.
Yang Ling and the others who were marching slowly in the forest did not know that the fierce Japanese Wolf Squadron was rushing towards them quickly.
Because Yang Ling and the others were carrying thousands of weak soldiers, they were not marching very fast. The original one-day journey took two days, and their dry food was also consumed rapidly.
In addition to the lack of food, what troubled Yang Ling and the others was also the continuous rain. The Yangtze River Basin had entered the rainy season, which seriously affected their transfer speed.
"What's going on up front?"
As the team was walking, the front suddenly stopped again, and Yang Ling couldn't help but frowned.
"Sir, someone is sick again."
Soon, Grizzly Bear came from the front with a sad face to report the situation to Yang Ling.
These rescued officers and soldiers were already weak, and now when the heavy rain hit them, many of them fell ill.
At the beginning, Yang Ling had people make stretchers to carry them, but as more and more people fell ill, Yang Ling realized that this method would not work.
"Have you noticed the Japanese are chasing you?" Yang Ling turned around and asked.
"Captain Sun, who is behind the scenes, has no enemy information to report." A brother replied.
Yang Ling thought for a while and then ordered: "Find a village to rest for a while, and then leave after the rain stops."
