How difficult it was this night, there was no bitter cold wind, no extremely cold weather, no hunger in the stomach, no thirst in the mouth, but it was so difficult.

Nesting on the roof of the devastated city, the soldiers could not find the slightest bit of energy, some leaned against the side of the city wall, some held the battlements, and some simply stretched out their legs and lay down without image like a scoundrel.

Most of these soldiers were still wounded, some were bandaged, or arms, or heads, or shoulders, and some were not even bandaged, and under the huge trauma, the coagulation of platelets had no time to stop the bleeding, and the blood was slowly dripping.

The terrain at the city gate is slightly raised, and there is also a horizontal slope on the top wall of the horizontal plane, no matter where the blood of these soldiers drip down, but if it is not solidified, there is a source of continuous absorption, and slowly converges into a small micro-stream, which flows slowly along the root of the city wall towards the distance of the low terrain.

It's red, and it smells bloody!

Fortunately, it is not daylight, and it is still unclear.

But there is no doubt that some soldiers were seriously injured, but their wounds were not bandaged at all, and they just licked their wounds like cats in the dark night and waited for death.

Cry? Wailing is useless, it is not only a waste of effort, but also a ridicule.

Everyone was waiting, waiting for the night to end, for the day to come, and for all to be better.

But this night was so hard, long and boring, so long that it was desperate, and so boring and annoying.

A gray-faced, bloodstained soldier with blood on his sideburns slumped up weakly, and the epaulettes showed that his identity was not simple, this was a lieutenant, and sure enough, the lieutenant reprimanded as soon as he spoke: "Monkey, do you have any fucking tobacco?" ”

The soldier known as the monkey said with a bitter face: "Company commander, you have asked me twice." ”

"Less nonsense, is there anything else?"

"Yes is ......"

"Hurry up and bring it, look at your trembling appearance, and when the battle is over, Lao Tzu will give you two catties of high-quality tobacco."

"Hey!"

The monkey didn't hide it anymore, and quickly took out his reserves to share, and soon the two people leaning against the city wall lit the cigarette gun, and the clouds spit out mist.

When the surrounding soldiers saw this, whether they were injured or not, bandaged or not, they all looked longing, and they all moved their butts towards the two of them, looking at the monkey with blank eyes.

The monkey was so frightened that he quickly covered his chest, "Brothers, this is the last bit of my belongings in my body." ”

Bao Song didn't know when he appeared, even if he was pretending to be majestic, it was even more empty at the moment, and the whole person was quite depressed.

Regardless of his identity, Bao Song was next to the company commander and the monkey, and without saying a word, he stretched out his hands and touched the monkey's arms.

"You kid, others bring guns when they fight, what do you do with so much tobacco when you fight?"

It's just that when the smoke rose from all directions, Bao Song sighed again: "But don't say it, it really comes in handy." ”

The monkeys were about to cry when they were wronged.

Bao Song scolded: "You are a worthless thing, Lao Tzu smokes your tobacco and doesn't pay you back, this little bit of tobacco is regarded as Lao Tzu's treat, and when the battle is over, Lao Tzu will pay you ten pounds more." ”

The monkey turned happy, "Thank you, Captain!" ”

The company commander took a few puffs of cigarette, and his originally sluggish expression improved a lot, and he propped himself up with some difficulty, and through the gap between the battlements, he poked his head out and looked down at the city.

The city was quiet and empty, and the Japanese troops besieging the city temporarily withdrew from the firing range of the soldiers defending the city.

If you can see through the telescope, you can naturally see that the devil has already set up camp not far away, resting, recuperating, waiting for the arrival of tomorrow morning, and launch the final general attack.

"Captain, the little devil is also waiting for dawn!"

Bao Song nodded, "The Japanese army is waiting for dawn to launch the final general attack on us, brothers, all hold on to Lao Tzu, the devil is waiting for dawn, let's also wait for dawn, wait until dawn, let's guard the last wave of attack of the little devil, and the reinforcements will arrive." ”

In response to Bao Song, there was silence, and after a long silence, a voice suddenly sounded:

"Commander, are there really any reinforcements?"

This question exploded in the hearts of almost every soldier like a morning bell.

Bao Song was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Of course there is, you follow Lao Tzu to eat, Lao Tzu can't take his brothers to die, even if there are no reinforcements, we can't die either." ”

His eyes flickered, looking into the distance of the night sky, if it was really a last resort, he could only choose to open the city gate and surrender to the Japanese army.

It is better to die than to live, and if you can live, who wants to choose to perish?

……

At 5:49 a.m., the sky was already dawning, and the men and horses of the Independent Regiment and the New Third Regiment were just coming to an end cleaning the battlefield.

A part of the men and horses stationed at the south gate of Linfen, and the other part of the men and horses were divided into three teams to the north, east and west of Linfen to march towards the city gate, where the remnants of the enemy were still there, they were preparing to support the south city gate, but only walked on the middle of the road, the south gate was breached, and they could only return to the city gate under shock to guard, and finally resisted stubbornly.

It is only a matter of time before they are eliminated.

In addition, as early as half an hour ago, Han Feng ordered the second battalion of the new third regiment to march rapidly in the direction of Qinshui under the leadership of the second battalion commander Deng Pan.

Name: Rescue the 227th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army besieged in Qinshui.

But Xu Zilin, who didn't give face, revealed Han Feng's true purpose in one word, which was to prepare to demolish the bridge after crossing the river and take back Qinshui County again!

Han Feng disagreed, "Whether you believe it or not, we can send troops over at this time, and that kid from Bao Song will have to be grateful to Lao Tzule!" ”

。

Qinshui County.

East City Gate.

"Commander, we have less than 2,000 men left." The battalion commander's report was tinged with tears.

Can you not cry, although just a few hours ago he was only a company commander, and suddenly he was promoted two levels to become a battalion commander, then this is only because the battalion commander and deputy battalion commander were all killed.

In the current situation, it is estimated that whether he, the newly appointed battalion commander, can survive until tomorrow is still a question.

In the face of impending death and calamity, what position is the front? It's all, and only surviving is the most important thing.

As far as Bao Song could see, he understood the reason for the heartache of the battalion commander when he said this, the whole regiment originally had more than 6,000 horses, but there were less than 13 left at this time, and that's it, including light and serious wounded and some non-combat wounded, the real combat effectiveness is estimated to be about 1,200 people.

How long has it been?

It was just a night of defensive battles, and the Japanese firepower was too fierce.

Or rather, the 227th Regiment was really miserable this time.

Bao Song's intestines were about to repent, why was he blinded by interests and false fame at that time, and didn't find out that this was a huge trap?

Looking down the city through the hazy sky, the Japanese army had begun to approach, and from all directions, it seemed that there were more people.

Bao Song even saw several heavy platoon guns slowly advancing under the impetus of the Japanese soldiers from the telescope, and his heart was shocked, this should be the baggage that the Japanese army had just transported.

With the last remnants of the 2,000 soldiers and horses of the 227th Regiment, it is even more difficult to continue to hold the city gate.

Cowardice before fighting.

Bao Song's mind changed sharply, this remaining 2,000 people is the last capital of his Bao Song's life, if even this last capital is lost, he really has nothing.

Bao Song slowly stood up, looked at the approaching Japanese army, and his brewing thoughts gradually turned into resoluteness, and he was about to open his mouth to give an order.

A subordinate scout suddenly shouted in surprise: "Reinforcements, reinforcements, our reinforcements have arrived!" ”

Bao Sheng hurriedly raised his binoculars, and sure enough, he saw that a few miles outside the East City Gate, the blue sky and white sun flag were waving in the wind, and it was reinforcements from his national army who had arrived.

At the same time, the Second Theater Command called, the 11th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army and a mixed brigade, a total of more than 10,000 people, had arrived near the east gate of Qinshui, and were approaching the city gate, and the 227th regiment headquarters was waiting for the reinforcements to arrive.

On the city gate, the company commander rejoiced: "Regiment commander, our reinforcements and little devils have done it......"

Under the East City Gate, the little devil really suspended the siege because of the arrival of reinforcements from the national army.

Only, soon, the situation reversed.

The look of joy on the company commander's face didn't last long, and the smile completely froze, and he saw from a distance that the battle between the Blue Sky and White Sun Banner team and the plaster flag team was just a face, less than half an hour's work.

The reinforcements were routed, and they scattered in all directions faster than when they came.

In an instant, the sound of the Japanese army's killing was vast and endless!

The company commander's telescope slipped from his hand and smashed to the ground, the objective lens fell hard and shattered directly, and one of the corner umbrellas fell to the ground, scattering a few rays of brilliance through the sky with a faint light.

“…… Commander, the reinforcements are defeated! ”

Just came, and in the blink of an eye, it was defeated!

The scene was so comical that the so-called reinforcements seemed to be a joke.

Qinshui is a lonely city again, and only the 227th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army is left.

Bao Song sighed and whispered to the battalion commander: "There is no way, raise the white flag, prepare to open the city gate, surrender......"
