Chapter 822 How did you become the 8th Route

The Langya Detachment fired continuous artillery fire and the shouts of killing shook the sky.

Anan Jihe was so frightened that he didn't know what to do.

At the critical moment, it was Saburo Sato who stood up.

He immediately issued an order to all the captains: "All troops should cover the division commander and the army flag to break out to the north."

"Hello!"

The captains of the Japanese battalions hurriedly received orders.

The Japanese soldiers were well-trained and burst out with powerful fighting power in the face of adversity, blocking the Langya Detachment's tidal-like offensive from the east, west, south, and underground.

After suffering heavy casualties and abandoning all their heavy weapons and supplies, the Japanese soldiers finally broke free from the pursuit of the Langya Detachment and fled wildly to the north.

Xishanlin, the temporary command post of the Langya Detachment.

Xiang Chu said with relief: "Anan Jihe finally led his troops to flee north, and fell into my trap."

Yu Xiaowan said angrily: "Wouldn't it be better to wipe them out completely? Why did we let these damn devils escape successfully?"

Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "The Japs are too strong. Not only can we not annihilate them, but we may even be killed in return."

At this time, Shima came forward with a telegram folder and reported: "Political Commissar! The superior called."

Yu Xiaowan took the telegram folder, opened it and read: "Political Commissar of the Langya Detachment! You reported the matter of reinstating Liang Chuxue and Yang Jiang. After study, if your unit is successful in resisting the mopping-up operation, you can consider it as appropriate."

Xiang Chu shouted, "This must be the reply from my master. He likes to consider the situation and is just being mysterious."

Yu Xiaowan smiled and said, "Don't let your imagination run wild. Haven't we succeeded in our counter-attack? Give the order now."

Xiang Chu ordered: "Shima! Order all troops to start chasing and intercepting Anan Geometric Division. Don't let him return to Qingdao."

"Yes!"

Shima hurriedly accepted the order.

Bolibei, Qingsong Village.

The villagers' houses were burning and the village was empty.

Anan rushed here on horseback and asked in confusion, "No! Why are there no Eighth Route Army troops in the north?"

Sato Saburo rode his horse to catch up with him and taunted him, "Mr. Commander! You don't even know this. This is what Sun Tzu's Art of War says: Be sure to leave a gap when besieging a city!"

Anan Jihe said with emotion: "It seems that the beautiful political commissar is also a person who understands military tactics. I really want to meet her."

Saburo Sato shook his head and said, "Your Excellency the Division Commander! Please stop imagining things! You're lucky she didn't kill you."

Anan frowned and said, "Sato-kun! Why are you so bad at talking?"

Saburo Sato said with a smile: "Your Excellency, the division commander! This is called honest advice, but it is all for your own good."

Anan said helplessly: "Okay! Let's get a chicken from the Chinese village."

Saburo Sato shook his head and said, "Your Excellency the Division Commander! When our army marched towards Boli, we killed all the Chinese in this village and ate all the chickens, ducks, geese and pigs."

Anan pointed at the fish pond and said angrily, "Have you eaten all the fish in the pond? Catch them and eat them all."

"Fishing again?"

Saburo Sato was in tears.

"Kill! Kill the devils."

The shouts of the Eighth Route Army soldiers came from the left, right and behind.

"Come on!"

Saburo Sato grabbed the reins of Anan Geki's horse and ran away.

"Da da da!"

Suddenly a volley of bullets shot out from the tunnel, and countless Japanese soldiers fell down.

"Boom!" a sound.

A grenade fell between Anan Jige and Sato Saburo's horses.

The warhorse was shot, neighed, and fell to the ground, throwing the two of them away.

"Plop!" a sound.

Anan fell into the pond, and his fat body caused huge splashes of water.

The fish in the pond were frightened and ran around in panic. The dorsal fin of one big fish scratched his face, and blood gushed out immediately.

Anan was so angry that he yelled, "China fish! The commander of the division will never forgive you."

Saburo Sato rushed into the pond, dragged him out, and said anxiously: "Division Commander! You have offended the Chinese fish, you'd better run away quickly."

Anan Jihe sighed, "A dragon fell into a pond and was played with by fish. Alas! Let's go."

A Japanese soldier brought two horses, and the two men jumped on them and continued to gallop forward.

There were loud sounds of gunfire, and the mountains and plains were filled with Eighth Route Army soldiers chasing the Japanese invaders.

The battle extended from Boli all the way to the north, from day to night, with no sign of stopping.

No matter where the Japanese soldiers fled, Eighth Route Army soldiers would suddenly emerge from the tunnels and attack them.

The number of the Japanese soldiers that Anan fought against became fewer and fewer, and they were suffering from hunger and cold, and they couldn't get any food along the way.

The next day at noon, outside Erzhaizi Village.

Anan led less than a thousand Japanese soldiers to escape here.

His horse was so exhausted that it threw him off.

The Japanese soldiers could no longer move and all lay on the ground.

Saburo Sato helped Anan up and said with sudden realization: "Your Excellency, Division Commander! It seems that Boli is just an empty city plan of the Langya Detachment. Their real purpose is to destroy our army along the way."

Anan said arrogantly: "What a joke! The Chinese army that can destroy our army has not yet been born."

Sato Saburo joked, "I heard the Langya detachment shouting, as if they want to take your head."

Anan was so angry that he yelled, "Baga! Whoever dares to take the head of our division commander will be executed along with his entire family."

Saburo Sato said with a smile: "Your Excellency the Division Commander! The phrase 'the whole family shall be executed' is very good. I wonder which master said it."

Anan Ji said bitterly: "That bastard Doihara Xian'er!"

"Bang!" A crisp gunshot rang out.

A sniper bullet pierced through Anan Jihe's eyebrows.

Anan fell to the ground with a loud bang, ending his sinful life.

Saburo Sato hurriedly lay down and wiped Anan Ji's eyes, which were still open in death.

In the distant forest, Doihara Xianer threw the sniper rifle to Zheng Zhixing, picked up the Type 99 light machine gun and roared:

"Comrades! I have killed Anan Jige and all the Japanese. Kill!"

"kill--!"

The Eighth Route Army soldiers let out an earth-shaking roar.

"Kill the devil!"

The shouts of killing came from far away, and the Eighth Route Army soldiers who had been chasing and ambushing surrounded them from all directions.

The Japanese intelligence captain ran to Sato Saburo and said anxiously, "Brigade Commander! Give the order quickly."

Saburo Sato ordered: "Send a telegram to Commander Tada. My division has been besieged by the Chinese Langya Detachment in Erzhaizi Village, southeast of Jiao County. Division Commander Anan died for his country. Only a thousand of our troops are left. Please send reinforcements as soon as possible."

"Hello!"

The Japanese intelligence captain hurriedly took the order.

In order to save time, he sent the message quickly in plain text.

Saburo Sato held up the military flag and told the Japanese officers around him:

"Captain Linxia! You lead our battalion to stop the Eighth Route Army. Captain Ono! You lead our squadron to follow the commander of our brigade to cover the army flag and retreat."

"Hello!"

The Japanese captain Linxia and squadron leader Ono hurriedly received the order.

The Japanese Ono Squadron covered Sato Saburo as they rushed eastward.

Doihara Kan'er had sharp eyes and pointed at the military flag and shouted:

"Sharp Knife Company! Follow this company commander to capture the flag."

"Da da da!"

He fired a volley of bullets at Sato Saburo, who was carrying the flag, hitting him right in the chest.

Saburo Sato looked at the man who fired the gun, stunned, and muttered:

"Doihara Xian'er! How did you become an Eighth Route Army soldier?"

"Da da da!"

Yamashita Yoshiaki also fired a volley of bullets at Sato Saburo.

Saburo Sato fell to the ground with a bang, and Captain Ono took the flag and ran eastward.

"Want to escape?! Chase!"

Doihara Kenji roared and led the sharp knife company to chase eastward...
