Bad news came back from the front one after another. First, the reinforcements from Fengyang reported that two highway bridges had been blown up. Although the damage was not serious, it would take at least two hours for the engineers to repair the bridges. That is to say, in It would be difficult for the reinforcements from Fengyang direction to reach Huilonggou before midnight.
Immediately afterwards, bad news came from the reinforcements at Ukou. They encountered a large area of minefields on the road. Both attempts were severely frustrated. Mine clearing took too long. Machida had no choice but to abandon the road and walk on foot. They moved forward, but soon they were harassed and delayed by a small group of enemies.
Bad news came back one after another, and the atmosphere in the war room was becoming more and more solemn.
Muto Akira felt like he was about to suffocate. Commander Shanshan Yuan had just called from Nanjing and expressed his extreme concern about the war. Although there was no reprimand in Shanshan Yuan's words, Muto Akira clearly felt it. , Shan Shanyuan is extremely disappointed with his performance this time.
Before the operation, he promised that everything would be safe, but after the operation started, dangers continued!
Faced with such a cruel reality, no matter who becomes the commander of the Central China Front, he will be disappointed.
But this is not what Muto Akira is most worried about. What Muto Akira is most worried about is his personal future and that of the Muto family. Once this operation fails and this batch of military supplies is intercepted, then his military career will come to an end. The end, and the Muto family will suffer a heavy blow as a result.
Now, his only hope is Xiaoluyuan.
Oluhara Junsi had already led his special forces team to set off half an hour ago.
"Okahara-san." Muto Akira looked up at the dark night sky outside the window and said silently in his heart, "Don't let me down, don't betray my trust in you."

Without any warning, Okahara Junsi suddenly stopped, then raised his right hand and clenched it into a fist. The dozen or so special operations team members following him stopped and quickly spread their guard.
Ito Tamanosuke hurriedly walked up to Ogahara Junsi and asked in a low voice: "Ogahara-san, what's wrong?"
Oluhara Junsi raised his right wrist, looked at his watch, and said in a deep voice: "Three hours have passed since the military column was attacked, and it will be midnight in two hours. At this time, regardless of whether the Phoenix Whether the reinforcements from Yangzhen and Pukou can arrive in time, it doesn’t make much sense for us to go back to Longgou.”
Oluhara Junsi did not say anything. The situation in Huilonggou is probably irreversible. Now it is impossible to stop the independent brigade from transporting the supplies on the military column. The only thing they can do now is , trying every means to prevent the Independence Brigade from transporting this batch of materials back to Dameishan.
After all, this is still a Japanese-occupied area, not Damei Mountain.
Ito Tamanosuke nodded silently. Ogawara Junsi was right. If the reinforcements from Fengyang Town and Pukou could not arrive in time, then before their special operations team arrived at Huilonggou, the troops on the column would be The supplies had already been transported, and it was pointless for them to hurry over now.
And if the reinforcements from Fengyang Town and Pukou arrive in time, and combined with the strength of the two infantry brigades, it should not be a problem to defeat the Dameishan Independent Brigade that hastily responded to the battle. Therefore, their special operations detachment does not need to rush over. Do something more icing on the cake.
After a while, Tamanosuke Ito asked: "So, where should we go now?"
Xiaoluyuan said in a deep voice: "Ito-san, do you think there is a possibility that after Xu Rui obtained the supplies, he did not take the main road back to Meizhen, but chose to take a small road back?"
"Take the small road?" Tamanosuke Ito frowned, "You can't, right? How can the small road be as easy as the big road? What's more, this is 3,000 tons of military supplies. Can it be transported back to Damei Mountain through the small road?"
Xiao Luyuan said: "However, Xu Rui is not stupid. He will definitely guess that the imperial army will intercept them on the main road, but there will be no imperial army to intercept them on the small road."
Ito Tamanosuke smiled bitterly and said: "The problem is, even if we predict that Xu Rui will take a small road, we don't know what small roads there are from Huilonggou back to Damei Mountain, let alone which one he will choose?"
Xiaoluyuan smiled ferociously and said, "We don't know, but someone knows."
"Does anyone know?" Ito Tamanosuke said blankly, "Who?"
"People from the Pucheng plainclothes team!" Xiaoluyuan Junsi said in a deep voice.
"Going to Pucheng now?" Tamanosuke Ito was surprised.
"Yes, go to Pucheng." Xiao Luyuan nodded heavily.

As Oluhara Junsi expected, the reinforcements in the direction of Pukou did not go smoothly.
"Captain, captain, it's broken!" A second lieutenant staff officer panted and ran to Machida Yasuo with a map, and said with a panic, "We have deviated from the route."
"Baga, you idiot." Machida Yasumoto was originally agitated by the harassment battles along the way of the independent brigade. Now he even wanted to kill people. When he heard that the march had deviated from the route, he suddenly became furious and screamed. With one hand, he slapped the second lieutenant staff officer viciously in the face and knocked him to the ground.
Machida Yasuo slapped the second lieutenant and knocked him to the ground. He still couldn't understand his hatred and kicked him twice.
The second lieutenant stood up in disgrace, not daring to argue, so he could only pause and say goodbye.
Machida Yao vented his anger, gritted his teeth and asked: "How much has it deviated? How far is it from Huilong Valley?"
The second lieutenant staff member said with a grimace: "We can't be sure because we can't find a reliable reference. The environment here is completely inconsistent with what's marked on the map."
"Nani?" Machida was stunned when he heard this. He also knew that he had wrongly blamed his subordinates. It seemed that it was not that his combat staff was negligent in his duties, but that there was an error in the map provided by the base camp. Machida was so angry that he tore up the map. He broke into countless pieces and yelled fiercely, "Hattori-san, send a team to look around and capture a few Chinese people to serve as guides."
"Hai." The accompanying captain nodded heavily, then turned around and shouted, "Xiao Linsang, take an infantry team to search nearby and capture some Chinese guides."
"Hai." A Japanese military commander paused, then hurried away with a dozen Japanese soldiers.
Machida Ho wiped the sweat from his forehead and ordered helplessly: "Order, rest where you are."

Under the moonlight, Xu Rui was leading the special operations team to march forward.
Suddenly, Xu Rui raised his right hand high and clenched it into a fist, and the team members following him stopped one after another.
Leng Tiefeng took a step forward, approached Xu Rui, and asked, "Old Xu, what's wrong?"
"There are people in front." Xu Rui squinted his eyes slightly, and his keen hearing spread like a spider's thread in an instant. After a moment, Xu Rui opened his eyes again and said in a deep voice, "There are fifteen people, about five hundred meters away. Behind the ridge in front, judging from their heavy footsteps, there is no doubt that they are Japanese."
The kid was wearing leather shoes, so his footsteps sounded heavier.
The veterans of the Independence Brigade originally wore cowhide shoes seized from the Japanese, but after wearing them for more than half a year, especially after the previous three months of prison-like training, their cowhide shoes were already worn out. Now the officers and soldiers of the Independence Brigade , whether they are new soldiers or veterans, they all wear light cloth shoes.
Leng Tiefeng's eyes immediately lit up when he heard this.
Fifteen Japs were simply delivering food to them.
"Get ready to fight!" Xu Rui turned around and spoke a series of sign language to the team members who were on guard. The team members quickly dispersed after receiving the order. Xu Rui and Leng Tiefeng finally dispersed and disappeared into the thick roadside. Among the wormwood, the night breeze blew, and the deep mountain road soon returned to its original tranquility.
A few minutes later, fifteen Japanese soldiers appeared on the mountain road under the moonlight.
These fifteen Japs were very vigilant. Three Japs were leading the front, three Japs were covering behind, and the remaining nine Japs were in the middle. They kept scanning the grass and woods on both sides of the mountain road with vigilant eyes. If there is any sign of trouble, these devils will shoot without hesitation. Only after they are sure that there is no danger, will they continue to move forward.
Without warning, the Japanese sergeant walking behind the vanguard raised his right hand wearing a white glove: "Stop!"
The dozen or so Japanese who were leading the way and those who were following up stopped one after another and scanned the surroundings with vigilant eyes. However, there was nothing unusual in the surrounding grass and woods.
The Japanese Sergeant frowned, a little confused. He was quite sure that he heard a faint sound just now. The sound was very much like the sound of the leaves rubbing against each other when the branches swayed. This Japanese Sergeant was a hunter in the mountains before joining the army. He was very familiar with such a sound, but he couldn't tell whether the sound was caused by a collision between a human or a beast.
Is it a wild beast? The Japanese military commander shook his head and was about to give the order to move forward when he suddenly saw a faint cold star coming from the corner of his eye. The Japanese military commander instinctively lowered his head and a strong wind blew past his face. , and then hit the face of the private behind him with a loud bang.
"Uh-huh!" The private immediately screamed like a pig.
The Japanese soldier suddenly turned around and saw an arrow stuck in the private's cheek. The arrow entered from his left cheek and came out from his right cheek, piercing his entire face.
"There are enemies..." the Jaap Sergeant immediately roared loudly.
However, before the Japanese Army Sergeant could finish shouting out the entire sentence, another cold star struck like lightning.
This time, the Japanese Army Cao had no time to react. In an instant, the cold star had already been nailed into his throat, but it was a cold 38-style military bayonet. The sharp bayonet shot into his throat, and then It came out from the back of the neck and shot directly through the cerebellum of the Japanese soldier. He died on the spot and could no longer die.
"Pfft." The short and stocky body of the Japanese soldier fell straight forward.
Almost at the same time, nine black shadows sprang out from the grass and woods on both sides of the mountain road. The remaining thirteen Japanese hurriedly raised their guns and prepared to shoot. However, at such a close distance, the turning radius of Sanba Gai was too large. After a while, the nine black shadows disappeared from their guns in a flash, and the next moment, they were already approaching them. (To be continued...)
