In Ningwu City, the sound of guns and cannons in the fierce battle gradually stopped seven or eight minutes after Li Yunlong and others annihilated the Japanese troops at the headquarters of the devil squadron headquarters that had retreated north, such as Matsubara Youda.

An unnamed street to the north of the city is littered with the remnants of a fierce battle. The corpses of Japanese soldiers were scattered all over the ground, and there was also a new group of soldiers who had died among them!

After the gunfire of the fierce battle stopped, Li Yunlong quickly rushed from behind the attacking troops to the street area where the new regiment was fighting fiercely with Matsubara Yuda and other devils on the streets of Beicheng.

"Regiment Commander, this group of devils who came out of the headquarters of the devil squadron were all annihilated by us! According to the identification of the captured puppet soldiers, there were more than a dozen Japanese officers such as Matsubara Yuda, the squadron leader of the Japanese army stationed in Ningwu City, Matsubara Yuda, and others! Most of the Japanese puppet troops in the direction of other cities were also annihilated by us, among which all the Japanese troops were killed by us, and the puppet army captured more than 180 people, captured three light machine guns, and two grenadiers that could be used! More than 830 rifles of all kinds! There are countless ammunition, and the devil's food reserve is also occupied by us! The food there is enough for our brothers on this trip to eat for a week, and it will not be a problem! Li Yunlong, who rushed here, quickly got a report from Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the first battalion!

Li Yunlong nodded, this job is not bad! At least the little devils in Ningwu City were all killed by their own side, and as for the puppet soldiers who surrendered after the capture of the surrender, they could be released after the large army withdrew.

The puppet army that can surrender to its own side, even if it meets it in the future, will not fight to the death!

"Good!"

Li Yunlong bowed his head and said: "Special mother, it seems that the brothers are playing well!" Clean up the battlefield immediately and order the troops to rest immediately. By the way, did the second company that blocked the Japanese army in the direction of Shenchi call back again? ’。

Zhang Dabiao said: "Commander, no! But just now I have asked the telegraph operator to send another telegram to contact, and I should call back soon! ”。

"Okay, then get in touch quickly! I want to know the situation in the direction of Shenchi! Shenchi is not far from Ningwu. Although some of the mountain road sections have been destroyed by the Second Company, the little devils of Shenchi can also march to Ningwu on foot. Once the second company exchanges fire with them, order them to block it, and then the troops will quickly withdraw to Ningwuhui and us! Order the resting brothers, be ready to evacuate Ningwu City at any time! Li Yunlong pondered for a while, then ordered Zhang Dabiao to speak.

Zhang Dabiao nodded and said, "Yes, head of the regiment, I understand!" After saluting Li Yunlong, he turned around and left to prepare.

At this time, the Japanese reinforcements in the direction of Shenchi, under the leadership of Captain Seiichi Ikemoto, plus more than 300 puppet troops, with a total strength of nearly 500 people, rushed to Ningwu at the same time.

On the muddy mountain road, Seiichi Ikemoto, the leader of the Japanese Shenchi Defender Squadron, frowned and watched the Japanese puppet soldiers who were marching with difficulty stepping on the slippery mountain road and galloping towards Ningwu, but the speed was never good!

"Baga Ya Road! Hurry up! Ningwu City's situation is urgent! "Ikemoto Seiichi is anxious, if Ningwu is lost, if he can't reinforce the nearest friendly army in time, then for his future career, Ikemoto Seiichi himself feels that it will inevitably be affected.

At this time, because it was still early in the morning, the night was shrouded. Although there was a faint starlight shining in the sky, the soldiers of the Shenchi Japanese puppet army who hastily assembled troops to reinforce Ning Wu vomited blood when they ran one by one.

In addition, the mountain road is covered with rain and snow, slippery and muddy. Galloping to reinforce Ning Wu, the speed is indeed impossible to be much faster.

Therefore, Koike Tomohito, the adjutant of the Japanese squadron in Shenike, who was riding a war horse, said to Seiichi Ikemoto with a wry smile: "Your Excellency Squadron Leader, it is now a dark night, and the rain and snow are dripping, making the mountain road leading to Ningwu City extremely slippery. In the case of our rapid march on foot, the speed cannot be too fast! Right now, we can only hope that the people in Ningwu City can hold the city and wait for us to arrive! ”。

As soon as Chimoto Makoto heard this, he immediately scolded and shouted on the back of the war horse: "Bagaya Road! Anyway, speed up! Hurry up and drop! The Zhina Army that attacked Ningwu City was Li Yunlong's Eighth Route Army! You and I are all well aware of their combat effectiveness! ”。

"Hayi, Your Excellency Squadron Leader!" Koike Tomohito didn't dare to refute, so he could only urgently order a Japanese herald next to him to quickly convey Ikemoto Seiichi's order, ordering the Japanese puppet soldiers under his command to speed up the march.

Ordered, the Japanese puppet soldiers scolded in their hearts one by one, at this time, under these conditions, hurry to march, isn't this a tired panic?

But Ikemoto Cheng No. 1 said that he was an old devil who treated his own people as he did not make mistakes, and the majesty of the squadron was very beneficial. The Japanese soldiers in the control of the squadron and the puppet army soldiers under their control did not dare to refuse, so they could only spread their feet and march in the direction of Ningwu.

Suddenly, Seiichi Ikemoto and Tomohito Koike, who were riding a war horse to lead the troops, were extremely experienced in the battlefield, and they heard a whistling sound from far and near, which was a kind of cannon sound known to veterans with experience on the battlefield!

"Baga Ya Road, enemy attack, artillery bombardment, quickly hide!" Seiichi Ikemoto, who was riding a war horse, keenly heard the incoming artillery attack from the sound of the shelling on the spot, turned over and dismounted, and hid in a kang on the side of the mountain road with a brisk walk.

And the adjutant Koike Zhiren shouted and ordered the Japanese puppet soldiers to avoid the shelling, and then he was the same as Ikemoto Seiichi, and he hid not far from Ikemoto Seiichi and lay on the ground.

"Boom, boom!"

The two devils turned over and dismounted to avoid the shelling for less than three seconds, and the incoming shells quickly fell into the mountain road where the Japanese puppet soldiers were marching, exploding bursts of dazzling artillery fire, accompanied by the screams of the Japanese puppet soldiers, one by one the Japanese puppet soldiers were bombed and rushed around!

"What the hell is going on?" Seiichi Ikemoto roared amid the sound of shelling!

At this time, the squadron adjutant Koike Tomohito, who was hastily lying on the ground, hurriedly shouted to Ikemoto Seiichi: "Your Excellency Squadron Leader, this is the Imperial Army's Type 89 grenadier!" The enemy is at least at a distance of about five hundred meters! ”。

"Order the troops to fight back! Kill! Light machine gun cover! Hurry up and drop! Grenadiers fight back, drip, quick! In a panic, Ikemoto Makoto ordered in a hurry.

Tomohito Koike said loudly: "Hayi, Your Excellency Squadron Leader!" Immediately, braving artillery fire, he ordered the Japanese puppet soldiers who were in a hurry to evade the shelling to start a counterattack.

At this time, more than 100 people from the 1st Battalion and 2nd Company of the New 1st Regiment, which were responsible for reinforcing Ningwu by the Japanese army in Shenchi, had already built several blocking lines more than 580 meters away from the vanguard of the Japanese puppet army of Chengyi Chimoto, relying on the dirt slopes and boulders on both sides of the mountain road, preparing to retard the Japanese puppet army in Shenchi to reinforce Ningwu.
