The location of the explosion of that shell was so close that it was not even ten meters.

Nomura Toshio was not hit by shrapnel, he was already out of shit luck, how could he still be in the mood to pay attention to his beard?

Before he could gain a firm foothold, a Japanese soldier rushed up to him, his face dusty and sweaty, looking a little funny:

"Report to Dazuo! Artillery, artillery was attacked by surprise! ”

This sentence undoubtedly made matters worse, causing Nomura Toshio's already dizzy head to be hit again, and his eyes were black, and he almost fell to the ground.

The people next to him hurriedly held him up, and someone wet a towel with water to wipe his face.

Nomura Toshio finally took a breath, raised his hand to knock off the towel on his face, and shouted angrily and unwillingly:

"Retreat! Withdraw to the city now! Fast! ”

He was undoubtedly right to do so, and it was the way to minimize the damage.

In order to be able to surround the independent battalion, he pushed all the teams up, and only a small squad of troops was left around him.

Now that the artillery has been attacked, there is no need to ask any more questions, the result is already known from the expression on the soldier's face.

It would have been too late for the team to withdraw and retrieve the two mountain guns, and if the sneak attackers fired two shots at him at this time, he would basically have to give an account here.

Nomura Toshio didn't guess wrong at all, but Xu Zhi didn't find out where he was, but fired at the Japanese troops who were advancing up the mountain.

The Japanese soldiers who were approaching the independent battalion were already crying bitterly at this time, and they wished that they could grow their wings and fly back to the city immediately.

The shells fell one after another, and no matter how much they scattered and how they dodged, the casualties were huge.

I thought that as long as they could grit their teeth and advance to within 300 meters, those grenadiers would also relieve them of some pressure.

But when they finally advanced to within 300 meters at great cost, and the shells on the mountain gradually became a little helpless for them, the soldiers with grenadiers in their hands began to fall one by one.

Even some shells that had just been loaded onto the grenadier were directly detonated by the bullets before they could be fired.

Despite this, Liu Cheng's side was not easy, and he also gritted his teeth and insisted.

As the devil gradually approached, the role that those three cannons could play became smaller and smaller.

And, despite the fact that thirty Mauser 98K rifles with quadruple scopes were ready to strike the grenadiers of the devils, there was still an occasional shell that landed on the ground.

If it weren't for the absolute confidence in Xu Zhi and the special operations team, Liu Cheng would have ordered a retreat a long time ago.

The Japanese soldiers, who had persevered and finally saw a glimmer of hope, were poured a large basin of ice water on their heads before they had time to get excited.

Two shells whizzed down on the Japanese position, and the Japanese soldiers who had just begun to gather were suddenly scattered.

What made them most desperate was that these two shells actually hit them from behind!

Fortunately, they were immediately ordered to retreat.

When they came, they were advancing with shells, and when they retreated, they were fleeing with shells, and these Japanese soldiers couldn't even believe that it was true.

But the deafening explosions and the lethal shrapnel told them with blood and life that this was not a dream!

Seeing the explosion in the Japanese position and the Japanese soldiers who fled in a hurry, Liu Cheng finally breathed a long sigh of relief, stood up, and roared angrily:

"Brothers! Avenge! ”

Although Liu Cheng didn't have the opportunity to talk to those soldiers about the battle situation in Wudou Township after coming here, he only brought back more than thirty fighters, which already explained everything.

There were nearly 300 people in the second company, but Liu Cheng only brought back more than 30 people, and in the hearts of those soldiers, they naturally thought that the rest of them must have all been sacrificed.

The words "national hatred and family hatred" are still a little incomprehensible to these soldiers, but the familiar comrades-in-arms around them are gone, how can they not want to take revenge?

There are only two outcomes of war, either win or kill; Either defeat or be killed; Liu Cheng has told the soldiers more than once about this truth.

But this does not affect their desire to avenge the sacrifice of their comrades!

During the war years, the meaning of the word "comrade-in-arms" was completely different from that of now, it was a real "friend of fate".

Everyone may be saved by their comrades-in-arms at the moment of death, and they will also save their comrades-in-arms at critical moments.

On the battlefield, death is inevitable.

If I can't save you, I'll do my best to avenge you!

In this life, shoulder to shoulder, righteousness can be asked!

Bursts of shouts filled Liu Cheng's ears, instantly igniting all the blood in Liu Cheng's body.

He snatched a large knife from the back of a soldier and held it in his left hand, and jumped out with a German submachine gun in his right hand.

Kill!

At this time, all the fighters, including Liu Cheng, only had this one thought in their hearts.

Such an opportunity was very rare for the independent battalion, and even the first time that the Japanese army was beaten in the real sense.

The five cannons in front and behind smashed a shell into the devil's team from time to time, so that they didn't dare to stop and fight back, so they could only run back without their lives.

Dozens of Japanese soldiers who were left behind were quickly surrounded by Liu Cheng and his people, and a white-knuckle battle began.

The devil's withdrawal is indeed a little embarrassing, but it is definitely not a random run.

They left this broken army to buy time for the troops in front.

It was a squad, and the squad leader was a second lieutenant.

Although he didn't know Liu Cheng, he could tell which one was the commander of this team.

Liu Cheng had just felt despair on the Wudou Township position not long ago, and now he had finally found the best person to vent.

He put away the gun, held the hilt of the knife with both hands, and slashed the big knife into a tiger, cutting down several Japanese soldiers one after another, and appeared in front of the Japanese second lieutenant.

There are no words, just endless hatred and anger.

Liu Cheng's offensive method was simple and rude, and he couldn't talk about any moves at all, just blindly opening and closing the slash.

At first, the Japanese second lieutenant could barely cope with it, and even felt a little happy because of Liu Cheng's way of attacking.

From the moment he was left behind, he knew that he would definitely not be able to go back alive, and if he could kill the other party's commander before he died, he would die a very satisfying death.

However, that could only be wishful thinking on his part.

He underestimated Liu Cheng's physical strength and endurance, and wanted to wait for Liu Cheng's physical strength to be exhausted to a certain level before launching an attack with all his might.

It's a pity that Liu Cheng didn't intend to give him such an opportunity, he wanted to use the simplest and most direct way to break the confidence of this Japanese second lieutenant.

A squad of more than 50 people was surrounded by three or four hundred people, and it was an independent battalion whose combat effectiveness was no worse than theirs, and the result could be imagined.

At the beginning of the battle between Liu Cheng and the Japanese second lieutenant, the Japanese squad that had been left behind was basically dead.

After discovering this broken Japanese squad, Liu Chengcheng told Tian Liuwa not to continue to pursue the Japanese soldiers who had fled.

Although the Japanese troops were retreating, the formation was still basically neat, indicating that they were still in a controllable state.

Once the pursuit was too close, those Japanese troops could turn around at any time and immediately mix with the independent battalion.

In that case, the five cannons will immediately lose their effectiveness, and all advantages will disappear in an instant, leading to passivity.

It's true to want to get bigger, but you have to get the timing right.

Although Liu Cheng was angry, he did not lose his mind, and naturally he would not make such a low-level mistake.

As all the soldiers of the Japanese squad were wiped out, except for some of the soldiers who were alerted to evacuate the Japanese army, everyone was looking at Liu Cheng.

At this time, he had already slashed more than 30 times in succession, forcing the Japanese second lieutenant to retreat again and again.

Originally, he wanted to retain his strength, and when Liu Cheng's offensive slowed down and his strength was insufficient, he suddenly broke out, but Liu Cheng became more and more courageous the more he fought, one knife heavier than the other, and one knife more ruthless.

The Japanese second lieutenant had already had to fight with all his might to barely defuse the crisis.

The big knife in Liu Cheng's hand and the command knife of the Japanese second lieutenant had already appeared in the gaps and were broken, but Liu Cheng was still deliberately forcing the Japanese second lieutenant to use the command knife to constantly block.

The little devil's command knife is better than the big knife in Liu Cheng's hand in terms of material, steel mouth and sharpness, but after all, there is too much difference in volume and weight, and it is impossible to cut off the big knife.

Liu Cheng's attack did not show any weakness, but the hands of the Japanese second lieutenant had already been numb from the shock, and he was almost unable to hold the knife in his hand.

Finally, when Liu Cheng jumped up and slashed head-on, the Japanese second lieutenant, who had no time to dodge and could only be forced to raise his knife to block, only felt that his two arms were instantly unconscious, and the command knife in his hand was taken off.

The broadsword descended, and the tip of the knife was slashing at the collarbone of the Japanese second lieutenant, but the finger-thick bone suddenly broke, and the body fell to the ground.

Looking at the painful expression on the face of the Japanese second lieutenant, Liu Cheng raised the big knife in his hand again with an expressionless face.

Although the Japanese second lieutenant was wounded, he was able to dodge the blow.

But instead of hiding, he roared angrily:

"Please wait!"

"Whew! Burst! ”

The broadsword fell head-on, slashing at the top of the Japanese lieutenant's head, and the skull, which was known for its hardness, turned into tofu in front of the broadsword, and the blade fell to the top of the nose before stopping.

Liu Cheng let go of the handle of the knife and muttered in a low voice:

"You said you would wait? Why should I listen to you? ”

As he spoke, he raised his foot and kicked away the hand that had been stretched out to his waist by the Japanese lieutenant, and the grenade that had not had time to pull out the safety pin fell to the ground.

Tian Liuwa slowly walked to Liu Cheng's side, leaned over and used a knife to cut a piece of cloth from the clothes of a Japanese soldier's corpse, handed it to Liu Cheng, and whispered:

"Battalion commander, wipe the blood from your face."

Liu Cheng took the piece of cloth, wiped it a few times on his face, turned around and looked in the direction of Jilin City, and said to Tian Liuwa in a deep voice:

"Gather the team and alternately cover the retreat!"
