Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 2343 Liu Jinbiao fell into the trap!

Liu Jinbiao and his men dragged their heavy steps back to the guerrilla hideout two kilometers away from Shitou City.

There is a small forest here, which is not common in the Gobi Desert.

The afterglow of the setting sun barely penetrated the clouds and sprinkled on this slightly desolate place, giving everyone's face a faint golden glow.

"Brother Ye, we are back."

Liu Jinbiao was still more than fifty meters away from Duanwu, so he shouted loudly.

Duanwu had been waiting for a long time. Liu Jinbiao and the others had left two hours ago, but they had just returned. Duanwu was even worried that something had happened to them.

If Ma Hu hadn't been saying that nothing would happen to Liu Jinbiao, Duanwu would have sent people to look for them long ago.

And judging from the time when Liu Jinbiao and others returned, it might not be so easy to rush through Stone City.

So Duanwu smiled and walked forward and asked, "How is the situation?"

Liu Jinbiao took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, as if he was organizing his thoughts, and then he spoke:

"The Stone City was even more tragic than we imagined. The city gates were completely destroyed, and the streets were littered with all kinds of crude weapons and bloodstains. Almost every step we took was filled with the bodies of the people in the city.

Most of the houses were reduced to ruins. Although the fire had gone out, the embers were still smoking, and the air was filled with a mixture of burnt and bloody smells.

At this point, Liu Jinbiao paused, a trace of pity flashed in his eyes: "Also, we found a large number of civilian bodies under the city, some were hacked to death, some died from random gunshots, and some even had their limbs missing.

There was hardly a living person in the entire city. There were only the devils and people who were tortured to death by the devils. "

Upon hearing this, Duanwu clenched his fists, and his knuckles turned slightly white from the force.

As for these devils, he would never think it was too much even if he killed as many of them as possible.

But there must be quite a lot of Japanese devils, otherwise Stone City wouldn’t be so miserable.

Duanwu learned a little about Shitoucheng from Ma Hu and Liu Jinbiao. Shitoucheng and Majiaji were both controlled by some outlaws. And it was close to Inner Mongolia, so the people in the city were also very tough.

But the most important thing is that Shitou City is located on the edge of Chaoyang near Inner Mongolia, and it is difficult for the Japanese to control it.

Of course, it's not that the Japanese can't do it, but it will cost a lot to do so. And it's not easy to defend.

However, it was a major transportation route into Inner Mongolia, so Kitahara Hiroyuki had to mobilize a large force, even at the cost of hundreds of casualties and five tons of artillery shells, before he could take it down.

Kitahara Hiroyuki had already set up his formation here, just waiting for the guerrillas to come head-on.

In other words, the Japanese did not do nothing during these two days.

At the beginning, Kitahara Hiroyuki did not know where the guerrillas were going.

He was very angry about this and led his troops to kill people everywhere.

But as luck would have it, there was one person who had seen the guerrillas. For the sake of his family's lives, he could only tell Kitahara Hiroyuki the direction in which the guerrillas left.

Kitahara Hiroyuki naturally did not let anyone go. Long-term repression and anger had made his already crazy soul even more twisted. Killing a few, dozens, or even hundreds or thousands of Chinese people could no longer satisfy him.

So when he encountered resistance from the indigenous people of Stone City, he simply ordered a massacre.

The blood flowed like a river in Stone City, and if Liu Jinbiao had not been a frequent trader and had some extraordinary means, it would have been difficult for them to come back alive. Faced with such a dilemma, Duanwu thought for a while and asked Liu Jinbiao again: "How many devils are there in the city? Can you estimate it?"

Liu Jinbiao recalled carefully, but finally shook his head and said: "I can't estimate the specifics, I can only say that there are a lot. Although Shitou City is not big, it is not small either. The east side of the city is full of Japanese. And there are also Japanese patrols in other urban areas.

The wall on the south side of the Stone City collapsed, otherwise we wouldn't be able to get in. But strangely, there aren't many devils near the South City Gate. Maybe because the South City Gate collapsed, the devils relaxed their guard there?"

Duanwu suddenly frowned. Perhaps Liu Jinbiao hadn't noticed anything yet, but he had realized that this was a trap.

Liu Jinbiao actually entered the city from the collapsed south city wall. If he was not very lucky, then we can only say that the Japanese had expected someone to enter from the south city gate, so they deliberately let Liu Jinbiao in.

So what is the purpose of the devil? This is self-evident.

Duanwu immediately ordered, "Lao Ma, go and take people to investigate in the direction of Stone City."

Ma Ping'an understood, because he had just thought of this point. Liu Jinbiao and others were deliberately released by the Japanese.

Ma Ping'an quickly took Ma Shanpao and others to investigate, but it would have been better if he hadn't looked. When he looked, he was shocked. There was smoke and dust billowing in the distance, and the Japanese devils were already coming to kill them.

The smoke and dust rolled in from the other side of the horizon like thick dark clouds, covering the sky and blurring the boundary between heaven and earth.

Those were the devil's mechanized troops. Under the guidance of the devil's scouts, they were charging forward with great momentum.

As the smoke and dust approached, the ground began to tremble slightly, as if even the earth was shaking for the impending disaster.

The Japanese troops were like a swarm of locusts, a dark mass. Their black steel guns and bright bayonets flashed cold light in the sun.

The cavalry unit actually ran ahead of the mechanized troops. The roar of the horses' feet hitting the ground sounded like the drumbeats of war, striking fiercely in the hearts of Ma Ping'an and others.

Ma Ping'an, Ma Shanpao and others looked at this scene with disbelief in their eyes.

They never expected that the Japanese would come so quickly.

"Quick! Go back and report to Leader Ye that the devils are coming. Tell him to find a solution, otherwise we won't be able to leave!"

Ma Ping'an's voice was a little hurried, because this was the Gobi Desert, and they had no other place to hide except the small woods where they lived.

In other words, if they failed to retreat successfully, they might be surrounded and killed in this grove.

"Yes!"

After receiving the order, Ma Shanpao ran away like the wind.

When Duanwu saw the Mashan artillery coming from a distance, he realized something was wrong. They were in such a hurry and came back so quickly, it must be the Japanese.

Duanwu immediately asked Long Qianyan to call all the cadres to a meeting with him, and ordered another messenger to call Ma Hu, and asked Tang Jiujiu to evacuate first with a group of wounded and baggage troops. If necessary, they could choose to abandon the baggage to ensure the safety of the wounded.

At this time, Duanwu's order was issued, and Ma Shanpao, who was out of breath, ran over and said, "Ye, Leader Ye, the devils are coming, cavalry, mechanized corps, Leader Ma asked you to find a way quickly, otherwise we will be surrounded here."

Duanwu looked solemn and asked, "How far are we from being together?"

Ma Shanpao thought for a moment and said, "Less than two kilometers."

Duanwu took a deep breath, because if the devils came on foot, he could still do something, but now, with the cavalry and mechanized corps, he had no time to prepare! .
