Fang Shichao was violently pushed away by Platoon Commander Wang, and saw Platoon Commander Wang, who was seriously wounded, kneeling on the side of the gate and shooting the attacking Japanese soldiers, covering him to retreat immediately, not only rushing to the front and shooting continuously to block the attacking enemy.

The Japanese army, who was surrounding the Guandi Temple at full speed, was blocked by fire, lying on the ground to increase the firepower to counterattack, Fang Shichao took advantage of the moment when the enemy suspended the attack, grabbed the Wang platoon commander and quickly evacuated the gate.

"Brother, I have been seriously wounded, it is impossible to withdraw under the enemy's strong firepower, I will stay to cover you, please be sure to withdraw from the city alive, and tell Section Chief Chen that I, Wang Yibing, will always be a glorious soldier of the Eighth Route Army."

"Comrade, I will never leave you behind to cover me from being killed by devils, even if we die, we will die together, and if we want to live, we will live together."

Wang Yibing saw that Fang Shichao refused to retreat, and this soldier of the Eighth Route Army did not want to involve Fang Shichao, not only said quickly: "In order for us to successfully withdraw from the Guandi Temple, you take me to the northeast corner of the backyard, which is the secret cave entrance from the Guandi Temple, as long as we can enter the cave, it will be safe." ”

Fang Shichao carried the platoon commander Wang who was difficult to move, and as soon as he quickly passed through the Guandi Temple and came to the hidden hole, the Japanese army rushed in from the outside and pounced on Fang Shichao and Wang platoon leader who had just arrived at the secret cave entrance with guns.

The Japanese soldier who led the team turned out to be Lieutenant Sakumoto, the leader of the third operation squad of the plainclothes brigade of the Takeda Brigade, and he ordered the plainclothes team who followed: "Surround these two dirt eight roads, arrest them, and bring them back to the gendarmerie for strict interrogation." ”

Platoon Commander Wang saw that the little devil rushed into the backyard of Emperor Guan's Temple, and was about to surround him and Fang Shichao, not only nervous Fang Shichao shouted: "Brother, you quickly retreat into the secret passage, and I will follow." ”

"No, you are injured and have difficulty moving, you retreat into the underground passage first, and I will block the devils who surround you to cover your retreat."

"Don't fight anymore, you don't know about the explosive device planted at the entrance of the tunnel, as long as you retreat into the tunnel first, I will immediately follow down and detonate the explosives at the entrance of the tunnel, and block the devils who surround the entrance, once the tunnel entrance cannot be successfully destroyed, we will ......."

Platoon Commander Wang said and suddenly pushed Fang Shichao, who was close to the tunnel entrance to block the enemy and had no preparation to retreat into the tunnel, into the tunnel, and shouted to Fang Shichao, who was half of his head exposed:

"Brother, remember, you immediately leave the tunnel mouth more than ten meters, I will repel the enemy's encirclement and attack and drill into the tunnel to detonate the explosive device planted at the tunnel entrance, I will meet you soon, I really don't want to leave your good brother, go quickly——。"

Fang Shichao was indeed unclear about the internal setting of this hidden tunnel, in order to make room for Wang Yibing to retreat into the tunnel as soon as possible, he quickly withdrew from the entrance of the cave more than ten meters and stopped, waiting for Wang Platoon Commander to withdraw from the outside and leave together.

Platoon Commander Wang saw Fang Shichao leave the cave and retreat into the tunnel, and said with a miserable smile on his face: "Good brother, I can't go out of the city with you to continue to kill devils, I hope you can remember me again alive and say goodbye to my brother forever." ”

He watched the Japanese soldiers who surrounded him at the entrance of the tunnel approaching step by step with guns, and Platoon Commander Wang suddenly laughed and said: "Little devil, I can pull a few of you on my back, and I will die without regrets." ”

When he saw that Platoon Commander Wang was able to laugh at the last moment of life and death, he suddenly felt that a danger that had never been seen before was coming.

"Quickly back ——。" Captain Gao shouted and turned around and ran back, and just a few steps after escaping, he heard Platoon Commander Wang pull the explosive device set up at the entrance of the cave, and with the two violent explosions of 'boom, boom', the dirt and stones and the corpses of the devils who were killed and injured by the explosion rose into the air. chamberlain

When everything fell silent, Lieutenant Takamoto, who was buried on the ground by the mud and rocks from the explosion, felt a strong smell of explosives in his nose, sneezed several times in succession, shook off the floating earth and rocks on his body, and stood up to look at the hidden hole that had been blown into a large pit.

Near the entrance of the hole that had been blown into a large crater, there were several corpses with broken arms and legs that could not be recognized, but they could still be distinguished from their clothing.

Suddenly two violent explosions killed and injured five Japanese soldiers, and Wang Yibing, the platoon commander of the Eighth Route Army who was guarding the entrance of the cave, had been separated from the bones of the bomb at this time, and he couldn't find all the corpses at all.

Fang Shichao, who retreated into the cave and ran out more than ten meters, stopped and prepared to wait for the platoon commander Wang who had withdrawn into the tunnel to follow, and took this heroic enemy to cover him Fang Shichao retreated into the tunnel, and his comrade, who was seriously injured, withdrew from the city.

Suddenly, he heard two violent explosions from the mouth of the tunnel, and the tunnels that were shaken by the great impact of the explosions collapsed one after another from the outside to the inside, if Fang Shichao hadn't felt the danger brought to him by these two explosions, he would have buried him in the tunnel, and instinctively retreated frantically along the tunnel, he was likely to be buried in the collapsed tunnel.

The tunnel finally fell silent, but the soil on the roof of the cave was still crumbling in a small area.

Fang Shichao, who was terrified, stood in the safe tunnel, looking at the tunnel leading to the entrance of the cave and couldn't see anything, he shouted nervously: "Platoon Commander Wang, Wang Yibing, where are you my good comrade, tell me if you make some noise." ”

Fang Shichao, who tore his throat and screamed and rushed towards the entrance of the cave, was blocked by the collapsed tunnel less than five meters forward, he groped through the tunnel and tried to find the Wang platoon leader who retreated, but blood came out of both hands, and he didn't find Wang platoon leader.

Fang Shichao finally realized that Platoon Commander Wang had deceived him, and it was Platoon Commander Wang who blocked the entrance of the cave with his life, detonated the explosive device at the entrance of the cave, blew up the entrance to the cave, destroyed the passage into the tunnel, and blocked the enemy's attempt to use the tunnel to pursue the anti-Japanese fighters who escaped from the city.

With respect for his comrade-in-arms Wang Yibing, Fang Shichao quickly ran towards the exit along the tunnel, and when he caught up with Lei Yunfeng and Section Chief Chen, who had just appeared outside the city, he said with tears and sadness: "I'm sorry, it's me who didn't protect Wang Platoon Commander." ”

"Ah Chao, why didn't Platoon Commander Wang withdraw with you?" Lei Yunfeng looked at the grief-stricken Fang Shichao, and already knew that Platoon Commander Wang might have died, but he still didn't give up grabbing Fang Shichao's shoulder and shook it and asked.

"Boss, in order to cover me, Platoon Commander Wang kicked me into the tunnel while I was not paying attention, and he, he stayed at the tunnel entrance to block the devils who surrounded me, and finally pulled the explosive device laid at the tunnel entrance when the bullet was exhausted, and died with the enemy, it was all my ......."

"Brother Fang, Comrade Wang Yibing is a staunch anti-Japanese fighter, he sacrificed honorably in order to cover us, we must step on his blood to complete the cause he did not complete, and we must defeat the little devil with his life and blood."

Although Section Chief Chen Liang was very sad that he sacrificed three of his comrades because of the arduous reconnaissance mission of infiltrating Qinshui City this time, he gritted his teeth and raised his fist firmly, letting out a roar of bloody battle against the Japanese army to the end.

Lei Yunfeng and Section Chief Chen Liang talked secretly for more than ten minutes, and the two friendly troops who shared life and death in Qinshui City shook hands with each other.

Section Chief Chen Liang smoothly returned to the Jinnan Headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, and truthfully reported to the No. 1 Commander the information he had detected during his infiltration into Qinshui City, and then made a report on the bloody battle with Colonel Lei Yunfeng of the Western Route Army of the National Revolutionary Army in Qinshui City without concealment.

In particular, it focuses on how the two sides worked together in a time of crisis and successfully withdrew from Qinshui City without any exchange of information. said that when they met again, they would definitely kill the enemy together with flesh and blood on the battlefield, and described the person Lei Yunfeng.
