Takahashi Ryuichi soon caught up, but this time he failed to complete the task.
Miyake Toshio asked breathlessly: "Takahashi-san, have the Chinese troops been diverted?"
Takahashi Ryuichi shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Division Commander, there are too many Chinese troops, at least hundreds of them, we can't divert them away!"
"Nani? You didn't lead him away?" Toshio Miyake was stunned for a moment after hearing this. When he listened carefully again, he found that the faint barking of a dog seemed to be getting closer.
"Division commander, are you listening?" Kaoru Kataoka suddenly shouted, "There are dogs barking in front of us too!"
"Nani? Are we surrounded?" Toshio Miyake suddenly looked miserable and then stopped.
However, Takahashi Ryuichi shouted: "Division Commander, there is a mountain col here. Let's break out of this mountain col quickly!"
Miyake Toshio, Kataoka Kaoru and his entourage instinctively followed Takahashi Ryuichi into the mountain col on the right, and then stepped forward on the snow that was almost up to their thighs, one foot deeper and one foot shallower.
Not long after walking, the sound of dogs barking came again from the direction of the valley mouth behind me.
And this time, in addition to the barking of dogs, there were also shouts from people. It was obvious that the pursuers were very close.
There is an old saying in China: if the house leaks and it rains, the boat will be late and the wind will blow! Seeing that Toshio Miyake and his group of eight were about to be overtaken by the pursuers behind them, Kaoru Kataoka was even prepared.
Prepare to stay with four guards to block the attack to ensure that Toshio Miyake can escape.
But at this moment, fierce gunfire suddenly rang out from the front.
"Baga!" When he heard the gunshot, Miyake Toshio's vision suddenly went dark and he almost fainted. There were pursuers behind him and there were obstacles ahead. Could it be that Miyake Toshio was really going to die in this nameless valley today? When he thought of him, he was so dignified.
The Lieutenant General's division commander was surrounded by a group of Chinese militiamen in a valley and beaten to death. He immediately felt extremely traumatized.
"That's all." Miyake Toshio suddenly sighed, knelt down and said, "I'm not leaving."
Then, Toshio Miyake pulled out the sword from his waist and unbuttoned his military uniform.
Miyake Toshio has made up his mind that he would rather commit suicide than become a prisoner of the Chinese.
Seeing Toshio Miyake like this, Kaoru Kataoka immediately looked miserable and said sadly: "Division Commander, we haven't reached the last moment yet, please persist!"
Miyake Toshio shook his head and said: "Kataoka-san, I can't do it anymore, you can go!"
At this moment, Miyake Toshio was really desperate. Since he couldn't escape, he would commit suicide.
After a pause, Miyake Toshio added: "If you have a chance to escape back, don't forget to report my death to the headquarters of the Condemned Forces, the base camp and my family. Please!"
"Division Commander?!" Kaoru Kataoka heard this, and the expression on his face became more and more miserable.
At this time, Takahashi Ryuichi, who had been silent, suddenly said: "Division Commander, Chief of Staff, do you listen? The gunfire in front seems to have become more intense?"
"Huh?" Kaoru Kataoka was stunned when he heard this.
Miyake Toshio listened carefully and found that the gunshots were indeed more intense than before.
Instead of silence, the gunfire became more intense. This can only mean one thing, that is, there are two armies fighting fiercely in the valley ahead. If nothing else happens, one of the armies must be the Chinese militia team searching the mountain.
But what about the other one? Could it be the reinforcements sent by the Condemnation Army Headquarters to search and rescue them?
Impossible, right? Even if the Condemnation Army Headquarters does send reinforcements, it doesn't know where they are at all, so how can it be possible to find them accurately?
But Takahashi Ryuichi said: "Division Commander, we will know if we go up and take a look."
Miyake Toshio was right. Anyway, they have no way to go now. Even if there is a trap ahead, the situation cannot become worse than it is now. The worst is death!
At that moment Toshio Miyake shouted: "Let's go up and have a look!"
Immediately, Toshio Miyake and his group of eight people speeded up and headed straight ahead.
As we got closer, we discovered that there were actually two groups of people fighting fiercely in the valley. The group facing away from them numbered more than a hundred people. They were wearing bulky cotton-padded clothes. The styles of the cotton-padded clothes were also various. At first glance, they were the militiamen from Sou Shan.
, but another group of troops who were fighting fiercely with them on the opposite side were wearing standard cotton coats, and they were clearly Japanese soldiers!
However, the number of Japanese troops on the opposite side was small, only about twenty people.
Without much thought, Toshio Miyake, Kaoru Kataoka, Ryuichi Takahashi and seven others launched an attack from behind.
As soon as the gunfire rang out here, the militiamen who found themselves blocked between two groups of Japanese troops immediately dispersed. In the blink of an eye, they rushed into the hills on both sides of the valley and disappeared without a trace. At this moment, Toshio Miyake felt a little lucky.
Fortunately, they were pursued by militiamen. If they were pursued by the regular army of the Dameishan Independent Regiment, they would definitely be doomed.
As soon as the militiamen in the center ran away, the two groups of Japanese troops immediately merged together.
Kaoru Kataoka was afraid that there would be problems with this group of Japanese soldiers, so he asked Toshio Miyake to stay behind. Then he stepped forward and shouted loudly: "Hey, which part of the army are you in?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a major officer came forward and shouted in surprise: "Chief of Staff?"
"Huh?" Kaoru Kataoka looked at it anxiously, but he recognized it was Ono Roku, who had been on the front page of the Asahi Shimbun. He asked in surprise, "Ono-san, why are you here?"
Kaoru Kataoka was deeply impressed by Ono Roku and Akita Otoichi, not only because of the previous fraud incident, but also because of their heroic performance in the Battle of Qiaotou Town. Kaoru Kataoka even asked Ono Roku because of this,
Akita Otoichi and the two apologized solemnly, but they did not expect that they would meet Ono Roku here.
"You are really the Chief of Staff?!" Ono Shiroku said with great joy, "Not only is your humble position here, Akita-san is also here!"
After saying that, Ono Shiroku turned around and shouted: "Akita-san, Akita-san? Come and see, who is here?"
Soon, another Japanese major came over in a hurry. When he saw Kaoru Kataoka, he quickly nodded and saluted.
At this time, Toshio Miyake also came forward with Takahashi Ryuichi and several other Japanese soldiers. They were very happy to see Ono Roku and Akita Otoichi. In any case, they could meet a man who was known as "brave and good at fighting" on the way to escape.
Subordinates are always a happy thing, because it means that their chances of escaping are greater.
Then, the two groups of remaining soldiers merged together, and then easily repelled the pursuers behind them.
After repelling the pursuers, Miyake Toshio had the opportunity to ask Ono Roku: "Ono-san, why are you here?"
Ono Shiliu replied: "On that day, our 108th Infantry Regiment was ordered to break out to the east to cover the main force of the division and the 8th Independent Tank Regiment to break out to the south."
Hearing this, Miyake Toshio's face immediately showed a look of shame.
Because it was he who gave the order for the 108th Infantry Regiment to break out eastward. In doing so, he actually let the 108th Infantry Regiment serve as cannon fodder, creating opportunities for the main force of the division to break through.
Miyake Toshio originally thought that the 108th Infantry Regiment must have been completely wiped out.
Unexpectedly, someone from the 108th Infantry Regiment broke out.
Akita Otoichi continued: "Our regiment broke out not far to the east when we were surrounded by the Dameishan Independent Regiment. The main force of the regiment was dispersed. Our regiment leader also died for the empire. Ono-san and I led a dozen
The warriors continued to break out of the encirclement to the east, and when they finally broke out of the encirclement, only the two of us were left."
Ono Shiliu also choked up and said: "The rest of the warriors died on the way to break out."
Akita Otoichi pointed at the twenty-odd soldiers behind him, and then continued: "These twenty-odd imperial warriors were met by Ono-san and I on the way to escape. Some of them were from the 108th Regiment.
Some are from the 137th Regiment, some are from the Artillery Regiment, and even some are from the Engineer Regiment."
Ono Shiliu added: "We were worried that if we fled south, we would encounter the main force of Damei Mountain's independent force, so we didn't dare to flee south, but went north. We were lucky, and we didn't encounter Damei Mountain along the way.
The main force of the independent regiment encountered some militiamen, but we were able to repel them all."
Akita Otoichi added: "Later, when we captured someone alive, we found out after questioning that it turned out that the Dameishan Independent Regiment had a conflict with the 32nd Army of the National Army, so they went to Feixi to fight against the National Army.
Don't worry about chasing us, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to escape here, and we would have been overtaken and killed by the Wolf Fang troops."
"Sodais." Miyake Toshio nodded suddenly, it turned out that this was what happened.
Before that, Toshio Miyake and Kaoru Kataoka were still wondering why Xu Rui didn't send Wolf Fang to chase him. Although Ryuichi Takahashi was an Orion and was very good at tracking and counter-tracking, but his counter-tracking
Toshio Miyake didn't quite believe that he could deceive Langya with his magic skills, but it was true that he hadn't seen Langya catch up after so many days.
So Toshio Miyake has always been confused, but after listening to Akita Otsuichi's words, he suddenly understood that it turned out that there was a conflict between the Dameishan Independent Regiment and the 32nd Army of the National Army, and then Xu Rui took all the troops including Lang Ya
The main force was transferred to Feixi to deal with the National Army, which gave them a chance to escape.
After thinking about this, Toshio Miyake immediately became full of confidence in his next escape route.
Kataoka Kaoru also said: "Division Commander, I have carefully compared the map just now. This should be Fengshu'ao Town in Guan County. Walk ten miles north from Fengshu'ao and enter Mingguang County. We will
It’s safe!”
Takahashi Ryuichi looked up at the sky and said: "Division Commander, there is good news. With such heavy snow, the footprints we left on the snow will soon be buried clean, and even the smell will be wiped out by the wind and snow."
We have been covered up, and even if Xu Rui really calls in the Wolf Fang, it will be impossible to find and catch up with us again."
"Yo Xi." Miyake Toshio nodded happily, then put the sword back into its sheath, then raised his right hand and waved forward, shouting angrily, "Open the way!"
