This time, the Japanese army was clearly determined to attack, so they almost invested a small team of troops when they came up. However, although Okazaki seemed to be bound for this attack, Squadron Leader Mizawa, who was actually the combat commander, did not really overwhelm the entire squad as soon as his brain was hot.

As an officer who has suffered big losses in this generation, he has a clear understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army in front of him.

Last time, if it weren't for Mizawa's relationship to protect him, he would have been seppuku in front of the captain to thank the emperor.......

Moreover, although he temporarily obeyed the command of Okazaki Shaoza this time, in the final analysis, he was not the direct subordinate of the other party, but the military rank was lower than that of the other party. Therefore, although Misawa was ordered to attack, the actual troops were only soldiers of only two detachments, and the rest had been following behind the forward.

At the same time that Misawa led people to attack, on the position on the west bank of the river, Xie Gouzi, who had just been increased, immediately changed his previous tactics after discovering that the Japanese army had joined the attack.

Since Xue Liqun sent more than a dozen people, plus five boxes of grenades and a few explosives bags, Xie Gouzi decided to take a gamble, simply gave up blocking the shooting for the time being, and put the enemy at the bridgehead on the west bank before attacking.

Xie Gouzi's idea was simple, that is, to minimize the time that the troops were exposed to the superior cover fire of the Japanese army, and instead use grenades to consume the Japanese in close combat.

Soon, just as Xie Gouzi and the others were waiting for them, the Japanese soldiers on the bridge also discovered the abnormal behavior of the Eighth Road on the opposite side.

However, although it was clear that the Eighth Route on the opposite side was going to play yin, the two detachments of the Japanese army, who were tactically dull, still gritted their teeth and carried bayonets and walked on the pontoon bridge under the cover of flares.

Fifty meters...... Forty meters...... Thirty-five meters.

In the afterglow of the flares, the Japanese detachment at the forefront had already begun to walk down the pontoon bridge and step onto the charred black land of the west bank that had been bombed by grenades.

Seeing this, Xie Gouzi, who was lying in the trench, knew that he couldn't wait, so he immediately pulled away the lead made in the border area in his hand.

"Three seconds delay, grenade greet!"

With Xie Gouzi's roar, more than thirty grenades immediately pulled white smoke and flew in the darkness to the Japanese army queue not far away.

Boom......

In the dense explosion, gray-black smoke rose into the air, instantly obscuring the bridgehead generation on the West Bank.

And when he found a group of white smoke flying over, the devil striker was not stupid, and almost all of them fell down immediately.

However, even though the devils reacted quickly, the dense grenades still caused heavy casualties to the Japanese troops lying on the river beach.

Boom......

Second wave, third wave...... By the time the dense explosions sounded through the third formation, the Japanese detachment that had first landed on the West Bank had almost "all killed." ”

In less than a minute, after dropping a dozen corpses, the remaining Japanese had to retreat in disarray under the cover of grenadiers and machine guns.

……

After seeing that the soldiers sent out were smashed back again by the inferior grenades of Tsuchihachi, Okazaki Shaosa's face suddenly became extremely ugly.

As a promising Lu University graduate, he feels that his self-esteem has been greatly hurt these days.

"Bagaya Road...... Grenadiers bombard me, bombard these Chinese soldiers! ”

Amid Shaozo's roar, the grenadier squad again aimed at the bombardment ...... that had begun on the West Bank.

In this way, after the Japanese attack failed, they launched two tentative attacks in succession, but they were all smashed back with grenades.

……

Boom...... Boom......

As the bombardment of the grenadiers came to an end, Xie Gouzi, supported by a soldier, struggled to crawl out of the mud.

"Brother Dog, Brother Dog, are you okay?"

Wiping the blood and dirt off the other's face, one veteran quietly put his finger under the other's nose.

"Rest assured...... Lao Tzu can't die yet...... Ahem, cough, the devil has withdrawn again? ”

Pushing away the other party's stinky hands, Xie Gouzi struggled to get up and squinted at the other side.

"Withdrawn...... But we're almost ...... out of grenades. ”

Hearing this, Xie Gouzi raised his right hand and rubbed the dirt on the table vigorously.

"Half an hour to go......

……

Hearing that there was still half an hour to complete the mission, the few remaining soldiers were all dead. By now, they know very well what the result will be if they continue to fight.

"Brother Dog...... We can't fight the devil like this, I touched it and blew up the pontoon! ”

With that, a veteran pulled a bag of explosives from behind and was about to climb out of the trench as he spoke.

"Come back!"

Grabbing the other party's clothes, Xie Gouzi took a deep breath, looked at the other party and said lightly:

"Silly boy, this river is more than 20 meters wide, and there are flares in the sky, I'm afraid you have to use the devil as a live target before you climb to the shore, stupid!"

Hearing this, the other two veterans also rushed over, picked up the explosives bag and said resolutely:

"Then the three of us go together, I don't believe that the little devil can beat me to death in one go."

……

Hearing this, his heart was hot, and Xie Gouzi reached out and touched the three immature faces.

"Good...... It's all good .......

Smiling slightly, Xie Gouzi took one last look at the Japanese army on the east bank.

Now I order, bury the explosives separately, and leave the remaining grenades here as tripmines, and everyone will evacuate their positions within three minutes. ”

……

……

Rumble...... Rumble......

A few minutes later, with two huge fireballs rising into the air, Okazaki, who had just stepped onto the pontoon, was so frightened that he almost fell into the rushing river.

After a while, a Japanese second lieutenant with a bloody face stumbled onto the pontoon bridge, came to Okazaki and cried and reported that there was a treacherous mine arranged at the head of the bridge, which had just killed and injured nearly ten people in the striker.

For the sake of safety, the second lieutenant requested that the mines be cleared first and then move on.

Hearing this, Okazaki, who was not a little frightened, was extremely angry, but he had to agree to the other party's request.

……

And while Okazaki's people were entangled with Xie Gouzi and their mines, in a ravine more than 20 miles north of Nanyang Village, the independent detachment that was camping was also holding an emergency meeting temporarily.

Because it was an emergency meeting, there were not many people attending the meeting, and there were only a few backbone personnel of the independent detachment, namely Zhao Shixun, who had just returned to the team, He Zhendong, a staff officer, Lao Bu, the deputy captain, Li Chunfeng, a political work officer, and the top leaders of each company.

At this moment, while enduring the pain of changing the dressing, Zhao Shixun asked Li Chunfeng to read the half of the message he had just received suddenly.

"Shhh...... Everyone can hear it clearly, this is the column telegram that Comrade Chunfeng has just received.

In addition, I can also tell you that just half an hour before we received this telegram, we also received a telegram from the column, but the content was diametrically opposed to this one, asking us to rest in place tonight and then rush to Nanyang Village by 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Shixun looked at Li Chunfeng on the side and asked lightly:

"Officer Li, I would like to ask a question before you speak...... I remember that your radio station would shut down every time within fifteen minutes after the telegram was sent, so how could you receive a second telegram from the column half an hour later? ”

Hearing this, everyone looked at Li Chunfeng, who was sitting on the side, and they were also puzzled.

Hearing this, looking at Zhao Shixun, Li Chunfeng pointed to the radio station not far behind him that was still sending out reports.

"Captain Zhao, our radio station should indeed be shut down within fifteen minutes after the telegram is sent, but I decided to train a new telegraph operator at that time, so I suddenly received a second telegram after the temporary start-up.

However, since the other party did not send the message at the agreed time, I only received part of the content of the message, which asked us to move closer to Nanyang Village immediately. As for what happened to the column on the ground, I don't know.

However, one thing can be confirmed, that is, after this the radio station of the column lost its signal, and no matter how much I contacted it, there was no response. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Shixun gently patted Shao Mengru's hand and signaled that the other party could go to rest, and then looked at everyone and said seriously:

"You've heard it too, so tell me what you think?"

Hearing Zhao Shixun's inquiry, everyone was silent for a moment, and then began to say what was in their hearts.

In the end, the opinions of the crowd were mainly divided into two parts.

Among them, Dapeng Heiwa and Lao Immortal thought that the message was only half received, and they didn't know what the other party meant. Therefore, they advocated that the troops should be repaired for a few hours first, and if the column radio could not be contacted by the next appointed time, it would not be too late to pull out the camp as a whole.

Unlike the old immortals, Li Chunfeng, Xizi and Qi Baoshan advocated leaving the wounded and some of the men and horses in place, and the rest of the people went into battle lightly, first approaching Nanyang Village overnight to see the situation.

As for He Zhendong, due to his special status, he has never expressed his opinion from beginning to end.

……

Soon, after everyone finished speaking, they saw that there was a big difference, so they simply gave up the dispute and directly handed over the decision to the captain Zhao Shixun.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Zhao Shixun, who had a little headache, habitually picked up a grass stalk and slowly played with the pocket watch in his hand.

After a while, he suddenly looked at He Zhendong without saying a word, and asked lightly:

"Brother Zhendong, if you have any thoughts, you might as well tell me, there are no outsiders here."

Seeing that Zhao Shixun nodded himself, He Zhendong, who had been silent, hesitated for a while, raised his head and looked at the other party and said slowly:

"As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens, since the telegram suddenly comes from the superiors, then my opinion is that it must not be taken lightly, and the worst-case scenario must be taken into account."

Speaking of this, He Zhendong's gaze swept in front of everyone one by one.

"I think we have to move immediately and move closer to Nanyang Village right away."

Hearing this, Zhao Shixun also nodded thoughtfully.

The next moment, Zhao Shixun stood up violently and looked at everyone and said:

……

"Old immortal, you take the first and second companies, the health team and all the wounded to stay here and repair, and wait until dawn to continue to march towards Nanyang Village."

"Uh-huh......."

"The others wrapped up the people of the communications platoon, prepared all the weapons and ammunition, and marched with me in the direction of Nanyang Village overnight in half an hour, striving to reach the destination at dawn!"

"Yes......!"

…… To be continued, thank you for your support, ask for recommendations, ask for collections, and ......!
