Comrade, your ingredients are too complicated.

Chapter 44
It has been four hours since the spy company attacked the devil's hospital, and the little days have not gained anything so far.

Although a lot of troops have been invested, it is still like finding a needle in a haystack.

In too Y city.

Yoshio Shinozuka, the commander of the First Army of the Japanese Army in Jin Province, got up from the bed naked when he heard the news that the hospital had been destroyed.

He angrily pulled out the samurai sword bestowed by the locust, and slashed at the table in his bedroom.

He never expected that the troops of the Republic of China, who were suppressed by him, would dare to do such a thing under his nose, and they would make a long-distance attack with one hand!
Even Hayao Tada, commander of the North China Front Army far away in BJ, called him and severely reprimanded him, which made Yoshio Shinozuka break out in a cold sweat.

Since the establishment of the First Army in 38, three top officials have been changed in just two years, and there are countless staff members.

After being transferred from the Tenth Division, the war has reached a stalemate and the situation is relatively stable.

At present, he has not achieved any results. Today, such a big problem happened, and he is very disturbed.

The helpless Yoshio Youzuka decided to end in person. Compared with those grassroots officers who have no rules, this old devil's solution is relatively well-organized.

He first sent people to collect which troops had been attacked recently and which troops had been reduced.

No matter how elite troops are, they will inevitably leave traces during the march.

In his heart, the suspects for this attack had already favored the Eighth Route Army.

Those indecisive and indecisive farmers armed will definitely show their feet.

Youzuka Yoshio's thoughts are correct, the Eighth Route Army is not their kind of beast, how can they be indifferent when they see ordinary people being slaughtered.

Half an hour after the order was issued, as long as there were devils stationed in the whole province, the information needed by the staff of the first army was sent one after another.

It has to be said that none of the devils who can become high-level is a waste bucket, and they are very efficient when dealing with one thing seriously.

Under the leadership of the chief of staff, these old devils carefully screened out several suspicious logs.

The devil squad that disappeared in Xiaowang Village was among them.

After selecting the points where the enemy might pass, the old devils took the hospital as the starting point and the Eighth Route Army base as the end point, and roughly analyzed several routes.

Although it is still not sure which one it is, it is better than aimlessly wandering around.

Moreover, they have a large number of people and a full range of arms, including infantry, cavalry, armor, army and aviation.

In this way, a small group of hostile forces can't be caught, so those senior officials of the First Army should stop fighting and go back to the mainland to raise pigs.

Yoshio Youzuka adjusted his glasses tremblingly. Although he already had a battle plan, he still had no idea.

He pointed to the map hanging on the wall and said:
"According to the current analysis, this group of guerrillas fled towards their base area. The number is not less than a squadron, but there is a certain probability that non-combatants are mixed in."

"We will send troops to investigate all the six routes selected at the moment! No matter if it is a road or a mountain road, we must not let them go!"

"The cavalry chased along the road, and gathered information after reaching the town along the way. After that, they spread the investigation around, and reported the information as soon as guerrillas were found."

"Squadrons under the 5th Independent Guard are chasing along the mountain road. Your task is to cooperate with the infantry to search along the way and observe whether they go in other directions."

The chief of staff of the First Army who was standing next to him agreed with him very much, and added his own opinion with a sneer.

"They can't run away. Although this kind of weather will affect both the enemy and us, we have the upper hand!"

"If they take the road, our troops are more mobile, and it's only a matter of time before we catch them. If they take the mountain road, it's no different from courting death."

"In this kind of weather, even warriors from my brother's country can only travel at most three kilometers per hour. At that time, what awaits them is a net of heaven and earth."

During the words, the old devil had strong confidence and killing intent, as if the secret service company had already captured it, and there would be no accidents.

Yoshio Youzuka regained his former self-confidence at this time, and the cold sweat on his forehead also disappeared. He, who is experienced in command, did not forget that the enemy might have support troops.

"Remember to inform the defenders bordering the base of the Eighth Route Army that they must be prepared to block enemy reinforcements and don't let me down."

"Everyone, let's act!"

"Hi!"

Everyone in the combat conference room bowed their heads and returned to their respective posts.

------------

The devils would never have guessed that the troops that attacked their hospital were not guerrillas behind enemy lines, but the most elite spy company of the 129th Division.

Even with their burdens, they can maintain a marching speed of five kilometers per hour.

And these doctors are not completely useless, they will provide help according to the physical condition of the soldiers during the rapid march in the snowy mountains and forests.

When the doctors learned that there was going to be a long-distance raid, they went to the hospital's warehouse to get some medicines that could temporarily replenish their strength.

They even negotiated in private that once it becomes a burden, they will immediately take the medicine that is still under study.

Not the methamphetamine used by the Expendables, but an experimental drug that is not addictive but has permanent damage to the body.

At the rear of the spy company, Li Yunlong, who was in charge of the guard, panted heavily.

He walked with difficulty, cursing uncontrollably.

"Damn, I'm regressing. If only I wasn't so tired before."

Marching on foot is less dependent on roads, less affected by weather seasons, and can operate in various terrains and weather conditions, which is convenient for concealment attempts.

But the shortcomings are also obvious, that is, the speed of travel is slow, and the comrades consume a lot of physical strength.

Li Yunlong's situation is not a special case, and the rest of the fighters are also very tired at this time.

But everyone is gritting their teeth and insisting that there is still more than an hour before the next rest point planned.

According to the plan, after the rescue mission is completed, they will spend most of their time concealed in the forest.

Only in the mountains can they be considered safe, and they will not be overtaken by enemy cavalry, and the devil's plane will not easily spot them.

In front of him were soldiers from the former Northeast Army.

Although he hasn't been home for a long time, the current climate is very familiar to him.

The big Northeast man was carrying a crooked handle, turned his head to look at Li Yunlong and said:

"Staff Li, you can hold back your words. Conserve your energy, if you keep being so meek, you will fall behind!"

At the forefront of the team, Dai Yu, who was an avant-garde scout, ran up to Zheng Yingqi.

Seeing the scout who obviously found something, he raised his arm and signaled everyone to stop.

"Stop, rest where you are."

Dai Yu looked at the exhausted comrades around, and said with some concern:

"I found a group of devils ahead, and it seems that we can't avoid them. But from their appearance, they probably don't know we're here. They just patrol in one direction."

　I'm coming
