However, after just a few minutes of waiting, as several sharp-eyed warriors rushed out of the bunker excitedly, Zhou Yu's hanging heart finally fell.

And Xue Liqun, who was frightened on the side, saw that it was Zhao Shixun who came back, and quickly took the initiative to walk out of the bunker to meet him.

After shaking hands with Zhao Shixun habitually, Xue Liqun's eyes were suddenly attracted by the national army officer on a stretcher next to him.

"Captain Zhao, are the people of the twenty-first regiment up there?"

"Well, it's their leader."

"What? What do you say that is...... Captain Ho?! ”

Running over in a few steps with a look of disbelief, Xue Liqun grabbed the two national soldiers carrying the stretcher, then leaned over and took a closer look, and finally confirmed the identity of the other party.

"Captain Zhao, what's going on. How could Captain Ho be in our ranks? ”

Hearing Xue Liqun's question, Zhao Shixun, who was discussing things with Zhou Yu, briefly explained and told them about the rescue of He Zhendong from several rebels.

When Xue Liqun heard that the 21st Regiment was about to be destroyed, his face suddenly became a little ugly.

Xue Liqun knew in his heart that in the face of the result of half of the 21st Regiment rebelling and half annihilating, his mission this time was basically a mess.

However, when he thought that it was He Zhendong who was unconscious on the stretcher, the expression on his face suddenly stretched a little.

Obviously, in Xue Liqun's opinion, he has not done everything, at least he has rescued the commander of the 21st regiment .......

Thinking of this, Xue Liqun couldn't help but be secretly relieved, and even looked at Zhao Shixun's eyes a lot softer than just now.

"Captain Zhao, Instructor Zhou. Now that we have rescued our comrades, let's quickly lead people to retreat, after all, this place is not suitable for a long time. ”

However, just as Zhao Shixun and Zhou Yu were about to discuss with Xue Liqun about returning to the first column, the old ghost who was in charge of monitoring the enemy situation on the outside line suddenly ran over in a hurry.

"Detachment leader, the devil is coming this way, just talk!"

Pointing in the direction of the town where the fire was burning in the dark, the old ghost's hoarse voice looked extremely anxious.

"How far is it?"

"Less than a mile away, just talk!"

Hearing that the devil was so close to him, Zhao Shixun's expression suddenly became extremely solemn. Obviously, the devil's reaction speed was still much faster than he expected.

He had thought that the devil would not pay decisive attention to himself before the battle in the city was over, but now it seems that he was obviously wrong.

"Captain Zhao, the devils are less than a mile away from us, hurry up and retreat north."

Knowing that the devil had just spoken, Xue Liqun's face, which was still slightly relaxed just now, immediately took a turn of one hundred and eighty degrees.

Seeing that Chief of Staff Xue was anxious, Zhou Yu hurriedly explained in a low voice:

"Chief of Staff, we can't walk fast with the wounded, I'm afraid that we will be caught up by the devils before we enter the valley."

"What? …… That...... Then Zhou Yu, you will leave half of the people to block the devil and cover us all to retreat first! ”

Looking at the two, Xue Liqun gave an order almost semi-directly.

"Ah......, but the comrades left behind are too dangerous, and they can't be evacuated easily."

glanced at Zhao Shixun, whose face was ugly, and Zhou Yu was also stunned. Although Xue Liqun's proposal was correct, the cost was too great. He was obviously not determined to make up his mind about such a suggestion.

"Comrade Zhou Yu! There is a way that mercy is not in charge of the army, how can you still worry about these at this time, do you want everyone to be buried here? ”

Just when Xue Liqun pressed Zhou Yu again and again, the black baby on the side suddenly took the initiative to come up.

"Detachment leader instructor, you take the wounded and Doctor Shao and they go first, and I will take a platoon to stay behind! Make sure to cover your safe entry into the mountains. ”

At this moment, Heiwa hurriedly walked up to Zhao Shixun and Zhou Yu, who were embarrassed, and said with a resolute face.

……

Hearing Heiwa's words, although Zhou Yu couldn't bear it, he really couldn't think of any other way. After all, the devil is no faster than the independent detachment, and it must go much faster without the wounded. If no one is left to stop it, it won't be long before the army is all glued to the riverbank.

"Old Zhao......, give an order, this is the only way to do it for now......

Looking at Zhao Shixun, who always had a solemn face and didn't say a word, Zhou Yu could only say helplessly.

Seeing that Zhou Yu also acquiesced to his suggestion, Xue Liqun glanced at Zhao Shixun, who was still silent, and then took the initiative to step forward and pull up Heiwa's arm.

"Comrade Heiwa, I believe that you will be able to hold off the enemy for two hours and successfully complete the task assigned to you by the organization. Remember, we await the good news of your victory in the mountains. ”

"Please rest assured Chief of Staff, I promise to complete the mission!"

Looking at Xue Liqun with an encouraging face, Heiwa saluted a military salute, and there was no expression on her dark face.

"Finish a fart!!"

At this moment, Zhao Shixun, who has always cherished words like gold, seemed to suddenly figure out something, and a shout and scolding attracted everyone's attention.

Ignoring Xue Liqun's angry eyes, Zhao Shixun strode to Heiwa's side, looked into his eyes and said sharply:

"There is not even the simplest bunker here, relying on this kind of river embankment to block the devils, one of your platoons will be dying before the shelling is over, and what will you do to block people when the time comes! Could it be that it depends on corpses? ”

was mercilessly ridiculed by Zhao Shixun, and Heiwa instantly lowered her head aggrievedly.

"Comrade Zhao Shixun! How can you belittle your comrades so much? We should believe in the great revolutionary heroic spirit in the hearts of the soldiers, who are fearless and capable of defeating all strong enemies! ”

"Fart!"

"You...... What did you say? ”

Hearing this, Xue Liqun stood in place, almost unable to believe his ears. It wasn't until Zhou Yu pulled him aside that Xue Liqun came back to his senses in a rage.

Ignoring the furious Xue Liqun, Zhao Shixun's cold eyes glanced at the soldiers, and then directly gave an order loudly.

"Listen to me! The second platoon carried all the wounded, and Instructor Zhou was fully responsible for commanding, and immediately retreated north into the valley, and there must be no mistake! ”

"Yes!"

……

"Heiwa, old ghost, Qi Baoshan!"

"Here!"

"Lead a platoon and a grenadier squad and immediately march with me along the river towards the east side of the town, ready to attack the Japanese artillery position!"

"Yes!"

……

In the face of Zhao Shixun's arbitrariness, Zhou Yu did not have the slightest objection for the first time.

He knew that Zhao Shixun was fighting for everyone to survive. And the only thing I can do at the moment is to support the other party unconditionally.

Not long after, after simply making a final explanation to Zhou Yu, Zhao Shixun led the team to disappear into the snowstorm.

……

The river called Fenshui on the edge of Lishan Town, which originates in the mountains north of the town, winds its way along the east side of the town from north to south, and then flows south into the Yellow River.

At this time, Zhao Shixun and the others were running along the dry riverbed, quickly running towards the position where the cannon was rumbling to the east of the town.

For the Japanese army's Type 92 infantry gun, Zhao Shixun can be said to be familiar with it. As the Japanese army's brigade-level support firepower, this weapon can be said to be the most common and hated Japanese army's body-barreled artillery in the Chinese army.

As a 70 mm barreled artillery, the total weight of this thing is only 227 kilograms! This, combined with its terrifying firing elevation angle, makes this gun extremely adaptable to terrain and roads, and has an extremely wide range of use!

However, the biggest drawback of this thing is that the range is very short, only less than 2.5 kilometers.

It was precisely because of this that Zhao Shixun finally decided to attack the Japanese artillery position.

……

Soon, after a rapid march of more than 30 minutes, Zhao Shixun and the others smoothly touched the vicinity of the devil's artillery position along the riverbed.

Listening to the dull sound in his ears from time to time, Zhao Shixun led everyone out of the embankment and began to crawl forward.

As soon as they climbed the embankment, they saw five huge fires not far away.

"Grandma, these little devils are too crazy to dare to arrange the position so blatantly."

Pointing to the fire more than 100 meters away and the nearby figures, Heiwa rubbed her almost frozen hands and said angrily.

After hearing the words and observing for a while, Zhao Shixun handed the glasses to Qi Baoshan beside him.

"There are a total of three ninety-two rifle guns, you take a closer look at the location."

Taking the binoculars, Qi Baoshan looked at it carefully, and then frowned.

"Judging by the fire, the artillery was about twenty meters apart. However, the devil should have arranged the cannon in a depression, and we can only see the muzzle fire here, but not the cannon body. ”

"What do you mean you don't hit?"

Asked by Zhao Shixun, Qi Baoshan hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded seriously.

"If you only shoot by the fire of the muzzle, the hit rate will definitely be greatly reduced. Add to this the fact that we only have ten shells left, which means a maximum of five salvos.

According to my optimistic estimate, hitting one is no problem, two are less probable, and three is basically impossible. ”

"One ...... is indeed a bit too little."

"Well...... and there's another question, I want you to think about it, captain."

"What's the problem?"

Hearing this, looking at Zhao Shixun with a puzzled expression, Qi Baoshan immediately coughed lightly:

"According to my understanding of the Japanese artillery, the devil's 92 artillery can be fired at a large angle of attack, so it will carry several flares to some extent. So if we can't get rid of all three guns, then our position will basically be taken care of by the flares on the opposite side.

I guess we have to be prepared to be beaten after we finish beating people, and we will be beaten very badly. ”

Speaking of this, Qi Baoshan pointed to the ditch behind him.

"That thing can't prevent the high-angle shooting of the 92 cannon at all, we can only run away after the fight."

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