The signal flares rose into the sky with a roar, and the brothers who were searching nearby became excited, knowing that friendly forces must have caught the Japanese.
"Quick, come over and provide support!" The nearby search teams rushed towards the direction of the signal flares without any hesitation.
The Japs Matsuura Junrokuro and his party, who were disguised as Chinese officers and soldiers, heard the shouts and shouts of the Chinese officers and soldiers in the nearby mountains getting closer and closer, and felt that the situation was a little complicated.
"General, the Chinese are catching up!" Intelligence staff officer Sakurai's face turned extremely ugly and he panted.
Facing the Chinese officers and soldiers swarming from all sides, they had no chance of winning with their remnant army of less than a hundred people. Many people's faces showed signs of despair, and they could no longer escape.
Matsuura Junrokuro was also unkempt and wore a dirty Japanese uniform. He thought he could escape with his life, but he was still exposed.
"Sakurai-san, their target is me. I will stay to attract them. You can run for your lives."
The division commander Matsuura Junrokuro is still self-aware, and I am afraid that if the Chinese Army does not catch him, they will not give up.
"General, I will lead some people to stay behind to block the pursuit of the Chinese army. You should break out of the encirclement as soon as possible!"
A Japanese captain stepped forward. He was responsible for protecting the safety of the division headquarters, and now it was time for them to sacrifice their lives.
The guards at the division headquarters also pulled the bolts of their rifles, preparing to turn back and fight the Chinese officers and soldiers.
"Come on, General, the Chinese are coming! If you don't leave, it will be too late." Sakurai, the intelligence staff officer, saw that Matsuura Junrokuro was still hesitating, so he pulled him and ran.
"You must live!" Looking at the group of guards who stayed behind to block the attack, Matsuura Junrokuro said with a heavy heart.
"General, please go quickly, leave this place to us!" the Japanese captain urged.
Hearing the shouts getting closer and closer behind him, Matsuura Junrokuro, pulled by intelligence staff officer Sakurai, stumbled into a woods with a group of staff officers and began to escape.
Under the leadership of the Japanese captain, the dozens of guards at the Japanese division headquarters who stayed behind to block the attack quickly seized the commanding heights and hid themselves, preparing to block the pursuing Chinese officers and soldiers.
Although most of the Japs have run out of ammunition and food, as guards at the division headquarters, this team of Japs still has a lot of ammunition left. After all, they don't have to go to the battlefield to consume it.
"Da da da……"
The light machine gun suddenly rang out in the mountains and forests, and the Japanese machine gunner hidden in the grass and bushes pulled the trigger at the chasing brothers.
The whistling bullets passed through the gentle slope covered with weeds and flew towards the brothers. Several brothers rushed ahead and ran too fast and were shot and rolled to the ground.
"puff!"
Yang Ling, who was chasing after them, didn't expect that the Japanese would leave behind someone to stop them. They were actually attacked, and he felt bad as soon as the gunshots were fired.
Before he could react, he felt numbness on his shoulders, and severe pain hit his brain. He rolled and hid behind a rock, and the soil behind him was splashed.
Pain came, and he reached out to touch it. His hand was full of blood, and his shoulder was penetrated by a stray bullet.
"Tuanzuo, you are injured!" Seeing the blood on Yang Ling's shoulder soaked through his clothes, Wang Dongming hurried forward and helped Yang Ling.
"It's okay, it's okay, don't yell, I just got hit on the shoulder..."
"Bandage, who has a bandage!" Seeing Yang Ling's painful look, Wang Dongming shouted hurriedly.
Soon, a brother handed over the bandage that he took out from the Japs body, and the two brothers hurriedly bandaged Yang Ling to stop the bleeding.
While Wang Dongming and the others were bandaging Yang Ling, the brothers who were attacked head-on also fell to the ground and began to raise their guns to fight back. For a moment, bullets were like locusts, and dead branches and leaves were flying everywhere.
"Brothers, fight me!" The company commander of the Fourth Army also kept calling to the brothers in an attempt to suppress the Japanese.
You wouldn't know if you didn't fight, but if you beat them and startle them, the enemy's defeated troops would run out of ammunition and food and be chased away by them. However, the enemy's firepower was so ferocious that they couldn't hold their heads up.
"It must be a Japanese fish!"
The brothers suddenly became excited. Until now, the only ones who can retain such strong firepower are the high-ranking Japanese guards.
"Machine gun, set up the machine gun. Go to the left and outflank it!"
The company commander of the 4th Army shouted excitedly and was full of gratitude to Yang Ling and the others. If Yang Ling and the others had not reminded them, this group of Japanese soldiers might have slipped past.
Yang Ling didn't expect that he was about to win, but the boat capsized in the ditch, and he cursed the bad luck in his heart.
A simple bandage finally stopped the bleeding, but the bursts of pain still made Yang Ling grin in pain.
After the bandage was finished, he endured the pain and had time to observe the group of little Japs who attacked them.
Although this team of little devils was small in number, they were all elite and fought very resolutely. They seemed to be risking their lives, and they actually suppressed Yang Ling and his brothers.
"No, these Japs should just stay here to delay us and cover the Japs' high-ranking officials' escape!" Yang Ling quickly made a judgment.
Hearing what Yang Ling said, the company commander of the 4th Army also reacted. He made a calculation and found that the number of the opponent was indeed smaller.
"Wang Dongming!"
"arrive!"
"Take the people around and continue chasing. I suspect that the real Japanese official has already escaped!"
Yang Ling originally wanted to lead the chase by himself, but was worried that Wang Dongming and the others would lose the chase, but he was helpless after being injured.
"yes!"
"Follow me one by one!"
As he spoke, Wang Dongming called to his brothers who were lying down and shooting at the Japanese to prepare to go around and continue chasing.
"Sir, I'm going to help too..." the company commander of the 4th Army said hurriedly.
Seeing the excitement on his face, Yang Ling didn't know what they were thinking. Although the war was to protect the country, the credit was right in front of him, and he would be a fool not to take it.
"Go ahead and kill all the Japanese who escaped!" Yang Ling ordered.
"yes!"
Yang Ling and the others were divided into two. He ordered one of them to stay here and continue to fight the Japanese who were blocking the enemy. Wang Dongming and the others tried to go around and continue to pursue.
When the captain who was left behind by the Japanese to block the attack saw Wang Dongming and others trying to go around him, he suddenly became anxious and fought harder.
"Put a machine gun on the gentle slope a hundred meters away to cover Wang Dongming and the others!"
"Go to two squads to launch an attack from the right to contain..."
"Put up the grenade and let me blast!"
Although Yang Ling was injured, he was still the supreme commander who stayed here. In a few words, everything was arranged properly.
Although this team of blocking imps occupied the commanding heights and caught Yang Ling and the others off guard, they had limitations. The number was too small.
The Japanese captain originally wanted to send more than a dozen Japanese soldiers to block Wang Dongming and others who were taking a detour, but as soon as they took a few steps, Yang Ling and others fired several grenades from their grenades, and the machine guns also fired and pushed them back.
Although this group of Japanese soldiers who stayed behind to block the attack occupied the commanding heights, they were unable to get down. They were caught in a dilemma. They could only watch as Wang Dongming and the others bypassed them and chased after Junroku Matsuura.
