"Company commander, we can't hold this place any longer, otherwise the company will be wiped out." The instructor suddenly spoke, stared at Li Zhiyong and said with a painful face.

Li Zhiyong knew what it meant to continue to defend the company.

But behind him are the people who are moving, if he doesn't hold on here for even an hour, let the devils cross the cliff, he will definitely be able to catch up with them before dark, and then the company will become a sinner in the entire base area.

So he had to continue to fight at the cliff pass, even if he fought all the time.

"Company commander, the third platoon and the fire platoon have rushed over!" A voice woke Li Zhiyong up.

When I looked up, I saw more than fifty fighters carrying light and heavy machine guns and mortars rushing towards the position from the flanks.

"Company commander, the local troops have also reinforced a company!" Another voice reached Li Zhiyong's ears.

On the mountain road that must be passed two hundred meters behind him to enter and exit the cliff pass, a group of Eighth Route Army hurried over, and there were at least 100 people in the formation.

The heavy expression on Li Zhiyong's face became obviously relaxed, and he looked at the instructor and shouted: "Reinforcements are coming, and the villagers behind are saved." ”

"Pass my order: all reinforcements will enter the position immediately, the local troops will temporarily serve as reserves, all heavy machine guns and mortars will be set up, and they can only shoot according to my orders, and I will prepare a big surprise for the second wave of devils in a while."

The Japanese attacked the position, and Nakata Saburo Shaosa did not get angry because the troops retreated, because he personally gave the order to retreat.

He had been staring at the battlefield since the beginning of the attack, and he was very sure that there was not much left of the Eighth Route Army on the mountainside.

If the troops continue to attack, they will definitely be able to take the cliff pass, but the attacking troops will also be completely lost in round after round of grenade rain, and they will not be able to make it.

It's not the same with a re-attack.

Relying on the advantage of firepower, the attacking troops will be very cheap in the counter-shooting, and a large number of the Eighth Route Army will be killed.

By the time they launched their final assault, there was not much left of the Eighth Route Army on the mountainside, and no one wanted to throw grenades.

The attacking troops will be able to take the cliff pass with minimal casualties.

As soon as the first wave of attacking troops retreated, the second wave of attacking troops began to assault under his orders, without giving the Eighth Route Army the slightest respite.

When rushing to the front foot, the guns began to fire on the mountainside.

The gunfire was exactly the same as Nakata's judgment: it was at least twice as weak as the previous round.

Nakata Saburo did not underestimate the enemy because of this, but stared at the battlefield and ordered with a serious face.

"The heavy machine gun squad concentrates its firepower and gives me the remaining firepower points of the Eighth Route Army."

The light machine guns on the mountainside were dull after fire, and the sound of rifle fire became more and more sparse.

At the foot of the mountain, the attacking troops significantly increased their assault speed, and in the blink of an eye, they rushed to a position fifty or sixty meters in front of the formation.

This is a critical distance on the offensive battlefield.

The Eighth Route Army will definitely throw grenades to block the attack, and the attacking troops must rush through the grenade interception to have a chance to win this attack.

Judging from the remaining gunfire on the mountainside, there were less than 20 people in the Eighth Route Army that could still move, and a round of 20 grenades smashed out, the number was too small, and the fragments formed by the explosion could not form a separation zone at all, nor could they stop the attacking troops.

So Saburo Nakata is confident about the next attack.

But at this moment, the gunfire on the mountainside turned out to be denser, and there was also the sound of three heavy machine guns in the middle.

Saburo Nakata is a veteran of the battlefield, and judging weapons by listening to gunshots is the most basic ability.

The confident smile on his face quickly disappeared, and he shouted with a look of shock: "It's a heavy machine gun, and the Eighth Route Army on the mountain beam also hides three heavy machine guns." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a scream sounded not far away.

Thirty meters away, a heavy machine gun position screamed repeatedly, four machine gunners fell next to the heavy machine gun, two of them were no longer moving, and two were lying on the ground screaming and squirming.

The few remaining living devils were tempted to climb up to the machine guns to fight back, but the oncoming bullets were too dense and whizzing against their scalps.

Pressed them to the ground, unable to move.

The heavy machine guns were silent, and the attacking troops were completely exposed to the guns of the Eighth Route Army.

The gunfire, which was still sparse just now on the mountainside, suddenly became denser, and not only did there be more than a hundred more rifles, but there were also several more light machine guns.

Bullets rained down on the devils who were close at hand.

The scales of victory quickly shifted in favor of the Eighth Route Army, and the attacking troops were swept away like ripe wheat by bullets......

"Retreat, the attacking troops will retreat immediately!" Saburo Nakata ordered in a hurry.

If the common people are not caught today, they can continue tomorrow, but if the troops are gone, the task of catching the common people will have no chance to be completed at all.

Seeing that the herald began to wave the order flag, Saburo Nakata continued to order: "The artillery fires, destroy the firepower points of the Eighth Route Army, and cover the retreat of the attacking troops." ”

"All the remaining machine guns of the heavy machine gun squad are fired, suppress the enemy's blocking fire, and take them out!"

A fully formed infantry squadron, because Saburo Nakata gave the order to retreat in time, lost only half of the infantry squadron.

On the mountainside, the only thing that made Li Zhiyong happy was that the devil had withdrawn from the army, and he bought more than ten minutes for the villagers to transfer.

As for the results, Li Zhiyong was not satisfied.

Although sixty or seventy devils died, the first company and the local troops were not much better, especially the devils' final artillery strike.

One heavy machine gun squad was wiped out, the heavy machine guns were destroyed, two light machine gun squads were killed, and more than thirty riflemen were killed or wounded and hors de combat.

Coupled with the casualties caused by the Japanese attack, the losses of the first company were even greater than those of the Japanese attacking troops......

The former enemy headquarters of the garrison regiment located in Laishui, and the battle report of the base area forwarded by the political commissar five minutes ago was sent to Hong Linfeng.

After reading the telegram, his face became solemn at that time.

Without saying a word, he hurriedly handed the telegram to the regiment commander.

Two minutes later, Li Hao's face also became solemn.

After Hong Linfeng picked up the telegram and read it again, he was puzzled and asked: "Commander, I don't understand, the bait is obviously ready, why don't the devils be fooled." ”

"The mountain is so big? How did the little devil determine the direction of the villagers' transfer, and they all chased after each other, forcing our troops to have to block head-on.! ”

"It's certainly not a coincidence."

Li Hao frowned, thought for a few minutes and replied: "The spy ......"

"Among the villagers, there are either hidden traitors planted by devils, or there are devil scouts around."

"When they were transferred, they left marks on the way that only devils know."

"Our troops can erase the traces left by the villagers when they moved, and they can't erase the marks deliberately left by the devils and spies."

"That's the only reason why the devils always find the right direction to pursue, and don't even look at the bait we prepared in advance."

Speaking of this, Li Hao sighed and replied: "We underestimated the little devil too much, and ignored the role played by the traitor and the scout in a battle, otherwise the loss of the three independent battalions today would never be so great." ”

"With the loss of nearly two companies of troops in each battalion, even if we capture a large number of prisoners to replenish the troops, at such a rate of loss, the troops will not be able to sustain it."
