I am God of War in Snow Leopard

Chapter 88 Escape from birth ([-])

More than half an hour later, Xu Qingfeng, Liang Shan, and Sun Kui led dozens of officers and soldiers of the Ninth Company, carrying light weapons.

After catching up with the main force of the third battalion who was lurking and resting in a lush reed field, they were also waiting for them.

At this time, they had sneaked into the waters two kilometers away from Sihang Warehouse.

Since it's already winter, being able to dive underwater for half an hour is already the limit.

Therefore, when Xu Qingfeng led the Ninth Company to join them, he found that Chen Qifeng, Zhang Zhijian and others were all shivering from the cold, and their teeth were chattering even when they spoke.

So he immediately ordered in a deep voice: "Hurry up and let the brothers eat something to replenish their strength and calories!"

"Yes!" Zhang Zhijian, Lei Xiong and others then remembered that Xu Qingfeng had prepared various high-calorie foods for them in advance and carried them with them.

Retreating by water, or under the cold and dark water, is a huge psychological test for all officers and soldiers.

It can be said that everyone is very nervous, including officers such as Zhang Zhijian and Lei Xiong.

After all, they are not Xu Qingfeng, and they have not received such special training.

So, under the extreme tension, I forgot about it.

After giving instructions to everyone, Xu Qingfeng also took out two Chaotian peppers from his backpack, stuffed them into his mouth, and chewed them vigorously.

The other people also took out all kinds of food they carried with them, including pork, chicken and duck, and canned beef.

The cooked meat is wrapped in three layers of oil paper, and packed in some empty tin cans, which are also waterproof.

After eating something, the officers and soldiers of the third battalion gradually recovered their rapidly lost calories and physical energy.

After staying for about ten minutes, Xu Qingfeng ordered the troops to continue their march.

At this time, they had actually left the 5th Brigade and were encircled around the Sixing Warehouse.

But it is still in the absolute sphere of influence of the Japanese army, especially not far enough from the Sixing Warehouse.

You have to retreat a little further before you can find an opportunity to go ashore and evacuate quickly.

……

In the forward positions of the Japanese army, due to the time-consuming and labor-intensive excavation of earthworks, Riichiro Katayama and Takamori Takamori went back to their headquarters to eat and rest when it was time for dinner.

Only Jun Takeshita and a few officers below the lieutenant commander were left guarding the front.

Because they had to wait for the engineering troops to finish their work before it was their turn to take the infantry.

Therefore, the remaining Japanese officers did not keep an eye on the warehouse.

Instead, not long after Takamori Takamori and the head of the Katayama Brigade left, they sat down and rested against the trench.

Just at this time, a cook brought them dinner.

It is a rice ball made of rice, which is similar to the sushi of later generations, but there are not so many tricks.

A major took two and stuffed them into his mouth, took two bites, and turned around to find Takeshita Jun, still standing and observing the situation.

So he couldn't help but said: "Takeshita-kun, dinner is here, would you like some?"

Hearing the sound, Jun Takeshita turned his head and looked at him and the other Japanese officers present.

He shook his head solemnly and said, "I'm not hungry, you can eat."

Shao Zuo made fun of himself, chewed on the rice ball and said angrily: "Officer Takeshita is so hardworking, I don't know if he found any clues?"

"I don't know what's interesting. Wait for the guys from the Engineering Corps to dig the tunnel to the root of the warehouse wall, and we'll just blast and attack."

"The brigade commander and wing commander are not here, why should they be so serious!"

His words resonated with several other officers present. They laughed and half-jokingly and half-sarcastically asked Takeshita Shun to come over for dinner first.

In the face of everyone's cynicism, Takeshita Jun was unmoved, but frowned and said: "Something is wrong."

The former major said disapprovingly: "What's wrong?"

"The Chinese defenders in the warehouse have stopped shooting for more than half an hour. This is very abnormal." Takeshita Toshidao.

The Japanese Major snorted coldly: "What's weird about this? They kept shooting for so long before, and if they continue to fight, the spare barrels will probably be scrapped.

It is natural to stop and let the light and heavy machine guns rest.

What's more, their strafing regardless of cost consumes a lot of ammunition.

This kind of high-intensity continuous shooting is inherently difficult to maintain for a lone army trapped in a tight siege and cut off from supplies. "

"But they have been stopped for more than half an hour, and it won't take that long to cool down the light and heavy machine guns."

Takeshita Jun said: "This is very abnormal, I must go back and report to General Katayama immediately."

After saying that, he turned around and wanted to go to the headquarters.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, he saw Riichiro Katayama, Takashi Takamori and other senior officers, supported by some adjutants and guards.

Came over from behind with strides.

Takeshita Jun immediately stood up and saluted: "General!"

Seeing this, the major and other Japanese officers who were present hurriedly got up and saluted in a panic: "Your Excellency, Brigade Commander!"

Katayama Riichiro went straight to the front, looked forward, and asked Takeshita Jundao: "Is there anything unusual? Where is the tunnel dug?"

Takeshita Jun quickly said: "General, yes, the Chinese defenders in the warehouse have been more than half an hour and have not continued to fire on the imperial army's excavation troops."

"Huh?" Riichiro Katayama was a little surprised when he heard the words, and looked at the Six Lines warehouse that would be shrouded in darkness.

Turning his head and looking at it in confusion, Takeshita Jun, who obviously hadn't finished speaking yet, waved his hand and said, "Keep talking."

"General, our engineering unit has already dug to a place less than [-] meters away from the warehouse.

Logically speaking, even if they knew about the firepower, they could not stop us from continuing to dig forward.

I will not give up easily, let alone remain silent.

Xu Qingfeng is very cunning and will definitely try his best to prevent the imperial army from approaching.

But right now, they didn't move for more than half an hour, and even the snipers they were proud of didn't shoot again.

This is very suspicious! "

Riichiro Katayama looked solemn when he heard this and said, "What do you mean, what conspiracy are the warehouse defenders doing?"

"Yes, General!" Takeshita Jun nodded: "Judging from the current situation between us and the enemy, it is very likely that the enemy has set up an ambush in the warehouse."

After a pause, Takeshita Jun continued: "Besides, there is another possibility."

"What is it?" Katayama Riichiro frowned.

"The defenders have withdrawn!" Takeshita Shun said calmly, but to the ears of Katayama Riichiro and others, it sounded like a huge wave.

Riichiro Katayama, Takamori Takamori and several senior military officers all changed their faces drastically.

"Already withdrew?" One of the lieutenants was the first to react, and said in disbelief: "How is this possible? The Sixing Warehouse is surrounded by the imperial army like an iron barrel. Even if they have wings, it is difficult for them to escape, right?"

Takeshita Jun lowered his head and suggested to Katayama Satoichiro, neither humble nor overbearing: "General, objectively speaking, any possibility exists.

Especially now, I feel more and more that the reaction of the defenders in the warehouse is too abnormal!
With Xu Qingfeng's cunningness, he would definitely not sit still and wait for death!

Therefore, just in case, I suggest that you stop digging immediately and attack the warehouse immediately to find out! "
