Chapter 1 The team led by Akashiba Yaezo after the train derailed.

First, he ordered everyone to get off the train and run into Lincheng.

The result was: less than three minutes later, there was a huge explosion.

Even the train vibrated like a leaf in the wind.

The devils who got off the train first were attacked by bombs.

An Ping directed the heavy machine guns, mortars, and infantry guns of the Fifth Regiment to fire at all the carriages.

The sudden change caught these devils off guard.

"Counterattack! Counterattack!" This was the order from the devil's squad leaders and company commanders.

"Rush out!"

……

Of course, Akashiba Yaezo knew the current situation:

There was an ambush outside. The correct approach for the devils was to rely on the train carriages to counterattack the outside.

Just now, the train was moving, and those figures ambushing on both sides of the railway were mixed in the wheat fields, not so easy to be spotted.

Now it was different. Gunshots and artillery fire exposed their positions.

The devils on the train stood high and saw clearly.

In their current position, they could already see the figures of those soldiers in the wheat fields.

After all, the train on the plain was still a little higher than the ground, making it easy to see outside the carriage.

Being high up gave them a good position for counterattack.

Moreover, the carriages were made of iron, and ordinary rifle bullets could not penetrate them.

This could also allow the devils to avoid a lot of harm.

Unless the opposite side used infantry artillery to bombard the carriages one by one.

Akashiba Yaezo's regiment actually had the advantage of terrain.

If they could keep counterattacking like this, it would be beneficial to them.

But Akashiba Yaezo knew that Teraouchi Hisaichi, the supreme commander of the North China方面 Army in Lincheng, did not have time to wait for him.

What these three battalions under his command needed most now was time.

No matter what the cost, they had to rush to the west of the city as quickly as possible.

Instead of defeating this ambushing National Army team here.

This was the message he had just received: the commander and the others, along with the breakout team, had already rushed out of the city.

But there were only less than three hundred devils left by his side.

Akashiba Yaezo immediately made a choice:

"Nakajima Naoki, the battalion commander of the Second Battalion, immediately organize the team to get off the train and establish a defense line.

Takenaka Ryota, the battalion commander of the Third Battalion, get off the train five minutes later and launch a full-scale assault on Lincheng.

Nakai Suguru, the battalion commander of the Fourth Battalion, stay on the train and suppress the National Army that is attacking."

After his order was issued, the devils, who had been a little flustered, immediately calmed down.

They acted according to the order.

Its first battalion had been completely wiped out by the Lunan Detachment outside Nigou a few days ago.

So this time it only had three battalions.

The plan was perfect, but it was a bit difficult to execute.

This was because Nakajima Naoki, the battalion commander, had just led his devils off the train when they were hit by another round of directional bombs.

After being attacked by directional bombs continuously, Nakajima Naoki learned a lesson:

There were bombs under every train, and these bombs were specially prepared for these devils.

With this understanding, Nakajima Naoki immediately ordered:

"All devils get off the train from the four carriages that have already been bombed."

Sure enough, some of the devils who got off the train were no longer bombed by directional bombs.

Although they were still subjected to fierce strafing.

When Regiment Commander An Ping saw that the trap he had set up was actually seen through by the devils,

he immediately ordered: "Blow up those carriages first!"

His order was immediately carried out: those carriages that Nakajima Naoki thought could reduce casualties were blown into one big hole after another by the infantry artillery.

This immediately stopped Nakajima Naoki's plan to reduce casualties.

Now they had to risk being bombed as soon as they got off the train.

Of course, An Ping did not disappoint the devils.

The devils who got off each train first would be subjected to artillery fire.

The devils of Nakajima Naoki's battalion had cleared all the mines that the Fifth Regiment had laid for them.

The entire battalion was reduced by more than half.

They no longer had the ability to perform the task of clearing the way for the entire regiment.

Seeing the devils outside the train constantly falling, Akashiba Yaezo had to change his strategy.

He ordered: "Takenaka Ryota's battalion immediately get off the train to assist Nakajima Naoki's battalion in establishing a defense line.

The Third Battalion prepares to set off at any time!"

He had already seen that if his regiment did not want to be entangled here,

it would only be able to get away after shedding a layer of skin.

Several hundred devils suddenly poured out of the train.

The number of devils was more than the soldiers of the Fifth Regiment that surrounded them.

Seeing so many devils pouring out of the train,

Regiment Commander An Ping slapped his thigh: The directional bombs had been used too early.

How good it would be to use them at this time!

After slapping his thigh a few times, Regiment Commander An Ping still ordered the team to stand firm.

There were so many devils that the Fifth Regiment could not kill them all.

But this did not prevent him from reporting the situation to Lin Fan.

The devils in Lincheng, two battalions, plus the guards of the North China方面 Army headquarters.

They left only the fewest devils in various parts of Lincheng County, concentrating all their forces.

They gathered a team of more than 1,500 devils and launched a suicide attack on the west of the city.

They used their bodies to block bullets for the devils behind them, and took the damage.

They also stubbornly used the weapons in their hands to fire at the National Army soldiers in front of them.

They did their best to breathe their last breath and shed their last drop of blood, just to clear obstacles for the devils behind them.

These devils used this method to open a gap for the generals behind them, regardless of everything.

This reckless, life-or-death突撃 assault really had an effect.

Teraouchi Hisaichi, Umezu Yoshijiro, Prince Naruhiko, and Mitsumao Kazuo were closely guarded and rushed out of the city gate.

After running more than three hundred meters out of the city gate, Teraouchi Hisaichi looked back and saw that there were not many devils following behind him.

The devils who had just organized a full battalion now only had one company following them.

When Regiment Commander Hua Deze learned that two or three hundred devils had escaped,

although he felt a little regret, he did not send a team to chase after them.

After all, the purpose of this attack on Lincheng was not to annihilate the devils.

The purpose of the Lunan Detachment was only one: to take a fancy to the materials in Lincheng.

If Commander Teraouchi Hisaichi knew this reason, he might be so angry that he vomited blood.

Could this be considered guilty of possessing a treasure?

Regiment Commander Hua Deze was busy clearing the remaining devils in the city.

Commander Teraouchi Hisaichi was busy lurking outside the city, anxiously waiting for the response from Akashiba Yaezo's regiment.

Of course, these devil commanders knew: They had broken the original order of the National Army all the way. The world was not very peaceful now.

If these nearly three hundred devils of theirs accidentally encountered guerrillas again, they might be completely wiped out.

When they broke through just now, in order to prevent their senior generals from being so conspicuous,

all the officers changed into ordinary soldiers' uniforms. The purpose of doing this was just to prevent the National Army soldiers from seeing that there were senior officers in their team from the uniforms.

I have to say that Commander Teraouchi Hisaichi's trick of passing off fish eyes as pearls was successful.

At least they did not attract the attention of the Second Regiment.

If the Second Regiment had really discovered that there were general-level devils in this breakout team,

Hua Deze would definitely have sent a team to pursue them relentlessly.

Lin Fan listened to the five regiments reporting their respective progress while standing next to the anti-aircraft gun.

Gu Xiuming's First Regiment was making the fastest progress, which was to be expected.

The First Regiment was the only team in the entire Lunan Detachment equipped with ten tanks. If he was slow,

Regiment Commander Gu Xiuming might not even be embarrassed to speak.

Hua Deze's Second Regiment had nearly three hundred devils breaking through and rushing out.

But they had stopped most of the devils. This majority of the devils was more than a thousand.

Lin Fan did not order the Second Regiment to pursue them.

He only ordered Regiment Commander Hua Deze to act according to his capabilities. If he could not stop these devils, he could open another passage for these trapped devils.

Let some more devils out.

Lin Fan's meaning was very clear: he wanted to kill the devils, but he also wanted his own casualties to be not too great.

Regiment Commander Hua firmly stated: Only three or four hundred of these devils who had been stopped were still alive.

These devils were compressed into several houses, fighting like trapped beasts.

There was no need to give them a way out.

The Second Regiment would definitely be able to wipe out these devils. Please rest assured, Brigade Commander.

He was still used to calling Lin Fan brigade commander.

Even those hundreds of devils who had just rushed out of the west of the city, Regiment Commander Hua Deze felt very sorry.

What he said to Lin Fan was heard by Gu Xiuming, the commander of the First Regiment.

Regiment Commander Gu Xiuming immediately ordered three tanks to drive towards the west gate.

Having tanks as shields was the most suitable way to attack the devils who were stubbornly resisting in the courtyard.

The Third and Fourth Regiments of the Lunan Detachment had now rushed into the city.

The devils used most of their troops to cover Teraouchi Hisaichi and the others as they broke through to the west of the city.

The devils only left small teams to defend the commanding heights of Lincheng.

The orders these small teams of devils received were: "Fight to the death and do not retreat!"

These devils all knew one thing: The longer they persisted, the safer the officers would be.

For these devils, today was a hopeless sniper operation.

These devils occupied the best positions, shooting at the constantly attacking Lunan Detachment.

There were too few of them. Although they occupied favorable strategic locations,

they were unable to form an effective defense line.

They were outflanked by the officers and soldiers of the Lunan Detachment, and even ran directly behind them to attack.

These devil squads in Lincheng were annihilated one after another. Half an hour later, Lin Fan was already at the South Railway Station in the city, looking at the warehouses that had been emptied last time.

These warehouses were once again filled to the brim.

This situation made the soldiers of the Lunan Detachment smile: The devils were really their transport team.

In less than a month, they had delivered things again.

Lin Fan now called the team in the Lunan area the Lunan Detachment.

They had occupied Lincheng again. This time everyone had more experience.

Lin Fan asked the rented cargo ships and fishing boats to start loading.

When fighting guerrillas in this place, the Lunan Detachment must learn to use the local advantages.

Here, the biggest advantage was that there were many waterways. Using ships to transport goods had a larger capacity than using large carts.

The place where Lin Fan could temporarily think of concentrating the goods was still Longjia Village.

The devils of Akashiba Yaezo's regiment had to risk their lives to rush off the train under the urging of the regimental commander.

They rushed out of the Fifth Regiment's ambush circle regardless of casualties.

According to the strength of Akashiba Yaezo's regiment, the number of troops it had when it came was twice as many as the Fifth Regiment.

This time the devils were three battalions rushing back from the front line in a hurry.

Although they fell into the Fifth Regiment's ambush circle,

it was like a trap set by a hunter. If the prey was too large, the transformation between the hunter and the prey was actually just a moment.

But this time, the devils of Akashiba Yaezo's regiment, under the command of the regimental commander, did not entangle with the Fifth Regiment at all.

Instead, after rushing off the train, they were harvested by the Fifth Regiment's directional bombs.

The devils continued to rush outward, and then hastily established a defense line, protecting the remaining devils as they advanced towards Lincheng along the railway line.

These devils kept falling under the guns of the Fifth Regiment.

There were too many devils. The Fifth Regiment could not harvest them all.

An Ping urgently requested reinforcements from Lin Fan.

The First Regiment, which had already rushed into the city and the battle was about to end, received Lin Fan's order:

"Immediately return to support the Fifth Regiment!"

This was not because there was a problem with the Fifth Regiment's defensive position, but to allow the First Regiment to come and harvest more devils.

The regiment commanders had all heard Regiment Commander An Ping's words.

Each one was extremely envious: Of these regiments today, only the Second Regiment was full and holding on.

They could not eat it all, and they let more than two hundred devils escape from the city.

The other three regiments, combined, did not kill as many devils as the Second Regiment had annihilated.

Now they heard that An Ping's Fifth Regiment had actually stopped more than three thousand devils on the railway line.

How could this be?

It was a pity that the detachment commander was now single-mindedly wanting to take away all the materials in the railway station.

The First Regiment would go to assist the Fifth Regiment in annihilating the devils.

The task of the remaining three regiments now was to organize manpower to transport the goods.

These materials at the South Railway Station were what the Lunan Detachment needed most now.

At least at this time, Lin Fan thought so.

In these days, the fighting intensity of the Lunan Detachment was very high, especially when assisting the 75th Army in bombing the devils last time. Many shells were used.

Now looking at the shells piled up like mountains at the station,

Hou, the commander of the artillery regiment, was all smiles. With so many shells, even if his artillery regiment spent them lavishly, it would take a long time to use them up.

Think about it, this was the consumption prepared by the North China方面 Army for more than 100,000 troops, and it was the materials prepared to attack 700,000 National Army troops.

How could these things not be many?

……

Just as the Lunan Detachment was attacking Lincheng,

the radios of the North China方面 Army and the Central China Expeditionary Army had exploded.

All kinds of radio waves were flying in the air.

The Wuhan National Army Radio Reconnaissance Bureau was stunned by the sudden appearance of a large number of radio waves.

Even when the devils attacked Nanjing, the devil's radio stations were not so lively.

"Something big must have happened!" Everyone in the entire Radio Reconnaissance Bureau had this feeling.

Dai Li, as Chiang Kai-shek's sword, received this news as soon as possible.

He had many sources of information, but he had not received any definite news.

Now he was extremely looking forward to the call of the thrush.

The thrush was not a bird. He was a person Dai Li had placed deep inside the devils.

Many people in this world knew about the thrush, but no more than three people knew that the thrush was not a bird.

In North China today, a person was sitting at his desk, quietly thinking about something.

People would knock on his office door from time to time, sending in top-secret telegrams.

The contents of the telegrams were very shocking:

Teraouchi Hisaichi, the commander of the North China方面 Army, Umezu Yoshijiro, the commander of the army, Prince Naruhiko, the commander of the Jinpu Railway方面, and Mitsumao Kazuo, the commander of the Jiaoji Railway方面, were all surrounded by tens of thousands of National Army troops in Lincheng, the front line.

He did not know whether this was intentional or unintentional by the National Army.

He had only sent this news out a few days ago. If this was intentional by the National Army,

then none of these big fish of the devils would be able to escape this time.

This was because from the first telegram that reported the alarm, the subsequent telegrams

reported news that was getting worse and worse: "The National Army's artillery fire is fierce."

"Lincheng is already under attack by National Army troops from all sides."

"The National Army has blown up the city wall with artillery fire, and the tanks have already rushed into the south of the city."

Every piece of news was exciting.

Of course, the thrush knew that if this was intentional by the National Army, the high-level officials of the North China方面 Army would almost be completely wiped out today.

After all, being able to break through Lincheng, which was defended by two elite battalions, in such a short period of time

showed that this attacking team was very powerful. It must be a unit of the National Army's most elite division.

At this time, all he showed on his face was worry.

What outsiders saw was that he was worried about the safety of Teraouchi Hisaichi, the commander of the North China方面 Army Corps.

In fact, what the thrush was thinking about more was: This must be a "beheading" operation by the National Army against the devil's North China方面 Army.

"Our army used a desperate posture to break out of Lincheng from the west gate.

Fortunately, the attacking enemy did not pursue."

When this telegram was in his hand, the man's hand trembled.

The subordinate who sent the telegram was a little surprised: The superior had never shown his emotions and was the most respected code-breaking expert in the entire North China方面 Army.

This time he actually trembled.

It could be seen how bad the situation was at the front.

The thrush translated the telegram he received and ordered someone to send it up.

He stood up, closed the door, and said to his subordinate:

"I'm going to have morning tea."

This superior had studied in the UK and was dressed in British style.

He was wearing a gentleman's hat and carrying a civilization stick in his hand.

He walked out unhurriedly.

He went to the teahouse he always went to.

Everything was as usual!

If someone was particularly careful, they might have noticed that he gently extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand, which only had a very small stub left, when he entered the door, and casually threw it on the ground.

Soon, several boys who had been staring at him rushed up, and finally a small boy snatched the cigarette butt away.

Such cigarette butts could be exchanged for money.

Picking up cigarette butts was also a job.

Of course, the cigarette butt thrown away by the thrush was not just a cigarette butt.

In less than ten minutes, this cigarette butt was in the hands of a beautiful woman.

She carefully peeled open the cigarette butt.

There was nothing but tobacco in it.

It was not nothing, there was also the outermost wrapping paper that only had a short stub left.

There were some large and small black dots on the paper, which looked very much like the marks on the cigarette paper where saliva had wet the paper and tobacco had soaked into it when smoking.

This beautiful woman did not know what these large and small black dots meant.

This was not what she was considering. All she had to do now was to send these dots out accurately.

If spies had ranks, this beautiful woman knew that she should be at the sss level.

Even she herself did not know the content of the information she sent out.

However, the information she sent out was placed in front of Chiang Kai-shek in less than five minutes.

Chiang Kai-shek looked at the two telegrams in front of him. The content of the previous telegram was so eye-catching:

"It is reported that in order to capture Xuzhou, Teraouchi Hisaichi, the commander of the North China方面 Army, Umezu Yoshijiro, the commander of the army, Prince Naruhiko, the commander of the Jinpu Railway方面, and Mitsumao Kazuo, the commander of the Jiaoji Railway方面, are all commanding operations in Lincheng, the front line.

Also, Kiyoshi Katsuki, the commander of the Pinghan Railway方面, intends to personally lead the 14th Division across the Yellow River from Zaozhuang County via Heze to Cao County to echo the enemy west of the Jinpu Railway.

Also, Yasuji Okamura, the commander of the Central China Expeditionary Army, has set up a temporary command post in Bengbu to personally supervise the battle."

The latter telegram was very short: "The enemy chief has broken out of Lincheng from the west gate!"

What did this mean?

Of course, Chiang Kai-shek knew: This was to let his team quickly pursue and kill them.

Looking at the enemy chiefs in the first telegram, if they could all be caught, it would undoubtedly be the biggest victory since the war of resistance.

Even if only one of the enemy chiefs on the list was caught, the political victory would not be worse than the Battle of Taierzhuang.

From the limited intelligence analysis: This team attacking Lincheng was powerful, and they did not know that they had let go of a group of big fish.

But now there was a problem: Who was attacking Lincheng.

Combined with the fact that Tang Enbo's 20th Army had not been able to capture Yixian and Zaozhuang in the past few days,

and Lin Fan had two previous convictions for attacking the devil's county towns, it was obvious who was attacking Lincheng.

Chiang Kai-shek ordered: "Immediately contact the Special Brigade and send these two pieces of information to him.

Order the Special Brigade: Spare no effort to catch the people on the list."

This was the first time Chiang Kai-shek had made a tactical command to Lin Fan.

The Lunan Detachment's radio station received a telegram claiming to be from the Wuhan Garrison.

Soon the Fifth War Zone also forwarded Chiang Kai-shek's order.

Looking at the contents of the telegram, Lin Fan realized why the devils would use the lives of a battalion of soldiers to exchange for fewer than three hundred devils to break through.

At this time, the devils had been breaking through for more than an hour.

His eyes in the sky had also withdrawn to the rear along with the planes from Xuzhou Airport.

It was impossible to know where those devil generals had escaped after breaking through.

Lin Fan looked at the map, thinking about the various actions of the devils since the start of the war.

Combined with the news reported by Regiment Commander An Ping,

this time the team of devils who came to reinforce Lincheng was too fast and too many.

Thinking of this, Lin Fan understood: This team of devils who returned from the front line by train was not here to rescue their logistics materials.

This team of devils had only one purpose: to save the people in the intelligence.

Then now he only needed to follow this team.

Let them lead the devils to find those who had slipped through the net.

Thinking of this, Lin Fan immediately sent the intelligence he had just received and his orders down.

Listening to Lin Fan's order, Gu Xiuming heard that he and the Fifth Regiment must chase this team of devils.

He had to follow them to the ends of the earth, and whether he could catch the big fish depended on them.

Lin Fan said: The entire Lunan Detachment would pursue them after emptying the materials in Lincheng.

Let the First and Fifth Regiments keep in touch with the detachment.

At this time, Teraouchi Hisaichi, the commander of the North China方面 Army Corps, Umezu Yoshijiro, the commander of the army, Prince Naruhiko, the commander of the Jinpu Railway方面, and Mitsumao Kazuo, the commander of the Jiaoji Railway方面, were breathing in Qiaojia Temple, west of Lincheng.

Just now they had rushed out of the west of the city in order not to attract attention.

These devil generals, like ordinary devils, had run out on foot.

They had rushed out of the city and ran for five miles as if they were escaping for their lives.

Now they could no longer run and had to stop at Qiaojia Temple.

They wanted to find a horse to ride, but they did not have one.

Tenkai Daisuke, the captain of the guards protecting these generals, ordered his subordinates to finally snatch two donkeys back from the villagers.

Of course, the most noble person here was Prince Naruhiko. Although his military rank was lower, his bloodline was noble.

Therefore, he was assigned a donkey first.

The second donkey was undoubtedly Teraouchi Hisaichi.

With the mounts assigned, they still did not move.

Not far west of this location was Weishan Lake.

The situation on the lake was complicated, especially at this time. He did not know how many guerrillas and National Army guerrillas were active in the lake.

The devils did not dare to approach.

They could only wait here for Akashiba Yaezo's regiment to come to rescue them.

At this time, Regiment Commander Gu Xiuming had ordered the tank company to drive back to Lincheng Railway Station.

In this place with dense waterways, infantry could still walk better.

And the devils in front were also running away with their feet flying.

There were many weapons and equipment in the train parked on the railway.

Akashiba Yaezo's regiment had left all kinds of artillery and heavy machine guns on the train.

They really could not carry so much equipment when they broke through just now.

These equipment were now cheap for the newly established Lunan Detachment.

The Fifth War Zone Headquarters had now moved to the outskirts of Xuzhou.

The devil's shells were chasing the Fifth War Zone Commander's Headquarters all the way.

Despite this, the officers of the headquarters were still very excited.

Although they had been withdrawn from Xuzhou, they were still much stronger than the devils in the headquarters of the North China方面 Army.

This was the way people were. When there was no comparison, these people's morale was still very low.

Thinking that the National Army had more than 700,000 troops, but they were surrounded by more than 200,000 devils.

And they were driven out of Xuzhou by the devils.

But compared with the intelligence they had just received, these more than 1,000 people in the Fifth War Zone Headquarters were much more composed.

When they received the intelligence just now, the staff of the headquarters understood as soon as they saw the content of the telegram:

This was very 特种旅 Special Brigade, very Lin Fan!

They had suddenly attacked the devils twice like this. It seemed that there was nothing great about coming a third or fourth time.

Thinking that so many commanders and commanders of the devil's North China方面 Army were running on foot on the plain like dogs that had lost their homes at this time,

the staff of the Fifth War Zone Headquarters laughed unkindly.

Although they were also running away and breaking through, they were taking cars.

In contrast, these people were much happier.

After issuing the retreat order, the Fifth War Zone Headquarters once again issued an order to all the withdrawing corps:

"Pay close attention to the devil teams with small units. If you encounter a team of about 200 devils, try to歼灭 annihilate them if you have the conditions.

Especially the teams moving in the direction of Lunan and Weishan Lake."

Li Zongren still felt a little regret. He still understood the combat effectiveness of the Special Brigade.

If he had known in advance that the devil's North China方面 Army headquarters was in Lincheng and had revealed it,

maybe the Special Brigade could really have wiped out the devil's North China方面 Army headquarters in one fell swoop.

Unfortunately, there was no if on the battlefield! The current situation of the North China方面 Army headquarters had been reported to the devil's headquarters.

They were already formulating emergency plans.

Many sensitive intelligence agents around the world had smelled the tense atmosphere in the air.

They did not know what was happening, but they knew that what was happening was definitely related to the war in Xuzhou.

Someone in the National Army Headquarters in Wuhan revealed that the National Army team had found the trace of the devil's North China方面 Army headquarters.

And the National Army had now occupied Lincheng!

This was an unconfirmed message.

Despite this, someone immediately made a series of associations.

Akashiba Yaezo was now leading a battalion of devils, rushing towards Qiaomiao Village.

In order to reach Qiaomiao Village as quickly as possible, the regiment, which originally had three battalions,

now only had one battalion following him.

Most of the remaining two battalions were dead on both sides of the railway.

The rest were teams left along the way to cover the retreat.

After Akashiba Yaezo rushed out of the Fifth Regiment's encirclement,

he immediately ordered: "Squad Leader Aoi Takuya, you will block the pursuers here for 30 minutes.

After completing the mission, retreat to Teng County."

For the safety of Commander Teraouchi Hisaichi and the others, Akashiba Yaezo did not intend to let these separated devils catch up again.

The devils of Aoi Takuya's squad looked around, wanting to find a good terrain suitable for blocking the pursuers.

It was very disappointing that the surrounding area was flat.

He had to order the team to dig fortifications on the spot to prepare for the battle.

It was the First Regiment that was chasing after them.

The soldiers of the First Regiment were all veterans now.

There were devils sniping in front.

The First Company突撃突撃 assaulted in the center, and the Second and Third Companies and the remaining companies rushed past both sides of the narrow position of Aoi Takuya's squad like flowing water.

One company turned back and cooperated with the First Company to launch a two-pronged attack.

The remaining companies continued to chase after the devils in front without stopping.

The weapons of Aoi Takuya's squad were only light machine guns and grenade launchers, which were considered to have strong firepower.

Mortar? No!

Heavy machine gun? It was left on the train! The entire Aoi Takuya squad only slowed down the First Company's advance for five minutes.

After annihilating these fifty or so devils,

First Company Commander Feng Ruili loudly ordered: "Speed up! Don't let the devils in front escape.

The brigade commander said that these devils will lead us to find big fish."

The big fish was Teraouchi Hisaichi!

Many soldiers who had only joined the Lunan Detachment for a month had heard this name.

They used to hope so much that they could meet this devil named Teraouchi Hisaichi.

As long as he said a word, it would be no problem for him to be a团长 regimental commander in the puppet army.

Now these people of theirs were going to catch him. If they could really catch him,

what would it feel like to have this legendary devil kneel at their feet?

The soldiers of the First Regiment were more excited and energetic than the other.

Akashiba Yaezo had no idea that the team he had left to cover the retreat had not stopped the pursuers for even a minute.

In fact, he misunderstood himself. Aoi Takuya's squad had stopped the First Company for a minute.

It was just that the First Regiment had twelve companies, and it was useless to stop only one company.

The remaining companies also chased after them.

Listening to Regiment Commander Gu Xiuming's report along the way, Lin Fan was thinking about how great it would be to have a satellite at this time.

Just look in this direction, or let Mao Wenxing's plane fly here to find it.

Give him an accurate location, and he would definitely be able to capture the devil's North China方面 Army headquarters today.

Unfortunately……

Lin Fan tried his best to calm down.

At this time, there was gunfire from the north of the city.

This was the puppet army from Teng County.

There was a full battalion of them, and they were mixed with a company of devils.

This time, those puppet troops did not dare to fire a few shots randomly and wait for the battle to end.

A devil was mixed among several puppet troops,

The purpose of doing this was obvious. The devils and puppet troops knew it very well.

This was because they were not assured of the puppet troops' loyalty.

This was to make the puppet troops attack with all their strength this time.

This was to make the puppet troops understand that perfunctory was not acceptable.

The faces of the puppet troops were ashen.

The expressions on the devils' faces were crazy, and their eyes were red.

They stared fiercely at these puppet troops.

It was as if these puppet troops had surrounded their superiors in Lincheng.

The devils' expressions were like they would eat the puppet troops in the next moment.

The puppet troops did not know the truth. They were terrified and carefully followed the devils' commands, trying their best to cooperate and advance.

These devils knew that their commander-in-chief, General Teraouchi Hisaichi, was in Lincheng.

This team of devils did not have accurate information and did not know that the target they wanted to rescue had already escaped from Lincheng.

It was precisely because they did not know that these devils were forcing the puppet troops to attack the Third Regiment, which was blocking them in the north of the city, with red eyes.

The First and Second Companies of the Third Regiment were guarding the railway north of Lincheng.

Whether it was the Lunan Detachment or the various regiments of the Special Brigade, the First and Second Companies were more powerful in combat.

The sniper class trained by Shan Huacan, the commander of the Third Regiment, was in the First Company.

Now they had watched the devils get off the train and rush towards the position they were defending.

Peng Hongyun, the commander of the First Company, had joined the Special Brigade at the same time as Shan Huacan.

At that time, he was still Shan Huacan's squad leader. Although his rank was now lower than Shan Huacan,

he had spent half a year going from squad leader to company commander, which was also a very remarkable talent.

The traditions of the teams that came out of the Special Brigade could not be lost.

Company Commander Peng Hongyun was now staring at the mixed team of devils and puppet troops that were rushing over, stepping into the bomb circle he had set up.

Although Sada Shinta, the captain, only had more than 180 devils under his command,

as devils, they were naturally one level higher than the puppet troops who were serving as pawns.

Even the most ordinary devil soldier was much better than Xiang Wei, the puppet troop battalion commander who was cooperating in the action today.

This was the view that the devils firmly believed.
