Lei Dahai and Xiao Qi looked at each other, and then said with firm eyes: "Please rest assured, Vice Captain Gao, even if we run to death, we will never hold everyone back. When it comes to walking on mountain roads, we are better than others.
Brothers may not be able to compete, but they will never lose to the little devil."
"Okay!" What Gao Xiaoshan wants is this spirit, which will bring out more potential in people.
At this moment, the barking of Japanese wolves and dogs in the distance appeared again. Gao Xiaoshan found a place to bury the things discarded by several people, and made a few grenades carried by others into booby traps there.
The kind that detonates in series, just to see if it can kill the little devil's wolfdog.
After finishing the matter, the few people who had regained some strength were on the road again, and this time, they started to take a diagonal route, preparing to turn completely north after running for ten minutes and go straight into Laohu Gorge according to the route proposed by Xiao Shui.
Not long after they left, the Japs' top soldiers and their wolfhounds found the place where they had buried their things.
In fact, on the frontal battlefield, the field troops at the level of the Japanese regiment will not be equipped with wolf dogs.
However, since the 24th Regiment was previously responsible for forward search missions, Toshio Nakamura assigned a small team to them from the military dog squadron directly under the division headquarters.
The Japanese military dog, also known as the Japanese Wolf Blue Dog, is a new breed bred after mating with the German Shepherd Dog. It has the characteristics of a typical wolf breed dog, with a ferocious temperament, keen sense of smell, strong aggression, relatively high IQ, and easy to domesticate.
When the military dogs led a small team of Japanese soldiers to find the burial place in Gao Xiaoshan, the two wolves roared lowly and dug hard at the ground with their claws. Not long after, some military blankets and a dozen cans of cans were revealed.
A Japanese sergeant did not doubt that he was there, and used his bayonet to push open the military blanket that was still covered with soil. Then his eyes showed a look of horror, and he yelled out of his mind: "Grenade!"
I saw seven or eight long-handled grenades lying quietly on the ground, smoking like the sound of the god of death grinning.
The delay time of the German-origin long-handled grenade purchased by Zhou Wen was only 5 seconds, and Laxuan had been pulled away by the claws of a military dog before, leaving the Japanese army with almost zero reaction time.
"Boom...boom...boom..."
The continuous explosions not only knocked down the Japanese, but the two well-trained wolf and green military dogs were also unable to escape. They were covered in blood and whimpering and twitching on the ground.
Gao Xiaoshan smiled slightly when he heard the explosion coming from behind. Lei Dahai and the others were even more energetic. Listening to the sound of this kind of serial explosion, you can tell that it is enough for a little devil to drink a pot, but it is a devilish wolf dog who is not known to be annoying.
Was he killed by the bomb?
At this moment, another white signal flare rose in the night sky in the distance, which was a signal for the mercenary group to seek contact again. Unfortunately, Gao Xiaoshan could not respond now and could not respond.
Gao Xiaoshan and the others were not the only ones to see the signal flare, the Japanese troops behind could also see it.
It's just that they don't know what the signal flare means, and they don't know if it's a signal to the people in front of them who were despicable in laying traps.
However, it also brought doubts and troubles to the little devil.
You know, they have already experienced the power of the mercenary group, especially in such a dark mountain, it is simply a paradise for sneak attackers.
The Japanese commander, Major Eita Ishigaki, now felt a little guilty in his heart.
In accordance with the order of the commander of the regiment to pursue a 15-kilometer pursuit, their group has now chased nearly 10 kilometers of mountain roads. Not only are the people and horses exhausted, but the key is that the signal flares in the distance make people feel a little scared.
He couldn't help but wonder if there was someone at the front to meet the small force being pursued. If he accidentally fell into an ambush, he would probably lose more than he gained.
In his opinion, there was not much difference between a 10-kilometer pursuit and a 15-kilometer pursuit, so he started to give up.
You must know that their 24th Regiment has not been able to get a good rest for five consecutive days. They have walked nearly 200 kilometers of mountain roads in the mountains with no results, which has made the officers and soldiers complain. Now they have to chase several small threats overnight.
The soldiers and several squadron leaders were somewhat resistant.
Now, after only chasing for 10 kilometers, three people were killed, and there were five injured people wailing on stretchers. It was meaningless to continue the pursuit.
Putting aside the issue of whether we can catch him or not, even if we catch him and win, the enemy will only have a small force of no more than 10 people, but how many casualties will he have to pay?
He could tell from the way the other party buried things to create grenade traps just now that these people were not good people, and they were probably members of the Chinese army that they had been searching hard for the past few days.
The problem is that the combat effectiveness of this Chinese army is not comparable to that of the Northeastern Army and the Volunteer Army. If not, the lives of more soldiers will be affected. At that time, let alone what merits have been achieved, it is about whether the merits can be converted into crimes.
They are all problems.
And seeing white flares in the night sky in the distance twice in a row made his little heart beat loudly.
Even though Major Eita Ishigaki led a complete Japanese brigade with over a thousand men, if the enemy was facing the Northeastern Army, Volunteer Army or even the Central Army, he would dare to pursue even one division.
But if it is that mysterious Chinese force that has continuously caused misery to everyone in the 6th Division, forget it about Baga.
Oh, by the way, Ishigaki Eita now knows the name of this Chinese army. It was exposed by Chinese newspapers and is called the Central Party Headquarters Teaching Corps.
But so what if you know the serial number, you still have to give in.
Ishigaki Eita didn't think that his own brigade could be any better than the previous Yoneyama brigade, the 14th Brigade, and the Kuroda Cavalry Regiment. Those records were not boasted by the Chinese themselves, but by their 24th Regiment.
It was dug out from several mass graves with the 23rd Regiment.
Thinking of the thousands of corpses that were frozen to the bone, and the ferocious faces that were so green and white that they were looking dead, Eita Ishigaki couldn't help but shudder in his heart.
He turned around and said to the adjutant beside him: "Notify all troops immediately to stop the pursuit and return to the original route."
But after Gao Xiaoshan and the others ran for more than ten minutes, Gao Xiaoshan didn't hear any movement behind them, so he asked everyone to rest where they were for a while. He quickly climbed up a big tree and listened carefully to the movement in the distance.
It was already 5 o'clock in the morning, the darkest time before dawn. Gao Xiaoshan could neither see nor hear any sound from behind, only the rustle of the leaves in the spring breeze.
Something's wrong! Why is there suddenly no movement?
Gao Xiaoshan didn't know that just because he had planted a small booby trap, he had scared away thousands of little devils.
