At night, 8:20.

As the last rays of light completely disappeared from the sky, more than two hundred vigorous figures suddenly burst out of the grass and bushes that had been silent. In front of them, broadswords and bayonets shimmered with a cold light, and half of them were armed with box cannons or flower traps.

This is a death squad composed of the last elite of the 70th Division, and it is the last resort that Shi Ziyu can come up with in order to break through the blocking position of the Japanese small temple.

Taking advantage of the night, this death squad, under the leadership of Shi Boying, quietly touched the Japanese position not far away.

Behind them were more than 700 remnants of the 70th Division led by Shi Ziyu himself, more than half of whom were lightly wounded and logistics civilian personnel, and the rest were mostly recruits and Shi Ziyu's guard troops.

Before dark, the herald sent by Peng Sixiang told Shi Ziyu that the Taerliang position had been lost not long ago, and the 702nd Regiment and a new battalion had been completely annihilated by the Japanese army, and all of them were martyred.

At this time, Peng Sixiang was leading more than 200 remnants of the 703rd Regiment to fight and leave with the Japanese army, desperately delaying time.

As for the direction of Yujiapo, the Japanese launched two fierce attacks before dark, and although they were repelled by Liu Jin's troops, the reserves were also killed and wounded, and the remaining troops were less than 100 men.

Liu Jin sent a letter that if the division headquarters did not break through again, the remnants of the reserve of the 70th Division in the Yujiapo position would also be wiped out.

At this point, Shi Ziyu knew that his troops had been forced to a dead end, and if they didn't break through tonight, then the 70th Division would be buried here at dawn tomorrow.

To this end, Shi Ziyu dispatched the last elite veterans and officers to form a death squad. Originally, he was going to personally lead the death squad to charge, but in the end he was robbed by his subordinate Shi Boying.

Wearing the stars and the moon, with the faint sound of guns behind him, Shi Boying rushed out of the valley with the daredevils, trotting on the open valley with his waist bent.

Bang bang ......

Suddenly, with two muffled sounds, two fluorescent dots rose into the sky.

"Lie down......

Shi Boying secretly shouted, and two hundred veterans who had experienced a hundred battles quickly fell to the ground.

As the fluorescent dots began to fall, a bright glow immediately emitted and illuminated a large area as bright as day.

Because the death squad lay in the grass in time, the Japanese army did not find them.

After the flare disappeared, Shi Boying hurriedly led the team to continue to grope forward.

After dodging three flares in a row, the death squad finally approached the Japanese position.

As the distance gradually closed, the death squads had to begin to crawl forward.

A few minutes later, just over fifty meters from the Japanese position, a Japanese Weeks armored car happened to drive by.

Inadvertently, the small searchlight on the car passed in front of the position, and a flash of light suddenly reflected in front of the devil's position.

Da-da-da-da!

Suddenly, the Japanese screams and the sound of crooked machine gun fire rang out almost simultaneously.

Seeing that it had been discovered by the Japanese army, the death squad immediately threw a burst of dense grenades, which exploded a thick flame in front of them.

In a series of earth-shattering explosions, Shi Boying and the others rushed forward like crazy in the face of the devil's bullet rain.

The Japanese army was startled by the surprise attack, and before they could react, the death squad had already rushed into the Japanese position.

For a while, the box cannon machine rang out, and the unprepared devils were knocked down in pieces, and a big hole was quickly torn open on the battlefield.

In the confusion, the Japanese Weeks armored vehicles rumbled over, aiming at the sound that appeared in the darkness and fired wildly, trying to repel the Chinese troops who broke through the position.

"Brothers, the devil armored car!"

"Sir, see you in the next life!"

Hearing Shi Boying's roar, several non-commissioned officers covered in grenades left this sentence and disappeared into the darkness.

Not long after, as several figures pounced one after another in the firelight, the Wix armored car was instantly surrounded by a large cloud of blazing flames, turning into a pile of burning scrap metal.

Soon after the armored vehicle was destroyed, hundreds of devils suddenly appeared, and immediately screamed from both sides of the position, trying to close the gap that had been opened.

On the position illuminated by the firelight, the death squads and the devils who had increased their numbers immediately became a mass. On the one hand, he is bent on death, and on the other hand, he is desperately encircled.

In the darkness, the Grim Reaper did not stop, constantly harvesting the lives of soldiers on both sides.

At this moment, Shi Ziyu and the others also arrived.

The addition of the new force made the devil's counterattack gradually lose its effect. The gap in the position that was about to be plugged was once again torn open a hole more than fifty meters wide.

Seeing that the troops were about to successfully break through, the direction of the breakthrough not far away suddenly burst into gunfire, and it seemed that the Japanese army's reinforced troops had arrived.

Finding that the reinforcements of the devils had arrived again, the troops that had broken through the 70th Division immediately fell into confusion.

Everyone was exhausted at this time, and the main forces were blocking the devils who were counterattacking on both sides of the position, and the troops that had just stood out in front were a bunch of wounded and logisticians, and their combat effectiveness was extremely weak.

The situation changed suddenly, and Shi Ziyu knew that he must not hesitate at this time, otherwise this drum would be discouraged, and the troops would be finished.

"Brothers, if it's a master, follow me! Kill! ”

At the critical moment, Shi Ziyu rushed over with more than 20 soldiers of the guard company in the direction of the gunshot.

Seeing the division commander taking the lead in the charge, the others were also aroused, whether it was the wounded or the logistics personnel, as long as they could move, they all followed.

In the faint firelight, Shi Ziyu rushed forward not far away, and saw a large number of yellow figures trotting towards this side, many of whom were still holding torches.

Da Da Da ......

couldn't help but say, Shi Ziyu raised his gun and swept it, and the guards around him also opened fire when they saw this.

For a while, the team in front of him screamed continuously, and they actually fell into chaos.

"Division, in front of you is the Imperial Army!"

One of the guards heard the shouts from the other side and reacted immediately.

"Brothers, rush with me!"

Finding that there was actually a puppet army on the other side, Shi Ziyu was suddenly relieved.

It is difficult for their own troops to fight devils, but they have never lost against the puppet army!

Sure enough, these puppet soldiers were rushed by Shi Ziyu and others, and the two sides were shaken as soon as they made contact with each other. When the wounded and logistic personnel arrived at the back, the resistance of the puppet army collapsed directly.

In this way, the Japanese defense in the direction of the small temple was finally torn open by the 70th Division.

After fierce fighting until midnight, the remnants of the 70th Division finally broke through the encirclement of Dingjiawa and successfully broke through into the mountain.

……

After walking and stopping with the troops all night, Shi Ziyu and the others finally got rid of the pursuit of the Japanese army at about three o'clock in the morning and came to a valley called Goudongwa.

Seeing that the troops were too tired, Shi Ziyu had to order the troops to rest in place.

Taking advantage of the break, Shi Ziyu asked Shi Boying to count the number of troops, but the result made his heart cold.

The 70th Division, including the wounded, now has less than 900 troops left.

The three main regiments were basically completely disabled, the division's independent battalion and division reserves were basically wiped out, and the 702nd regiment was completely wiped out.

Even worse than the loss of soldiers is the loss of officers.

So far, the officers above the company level in the whole division have basically been exhausted, and the three regiment commanders have survived only one Shi Boying.

Among the senior officers, Li Zhao, the commander of the 702nd Regiment, Peng Sixiang, the commander of the 703rd Regiment, Zheng Guozhi, the commander of the independent battalion directly under the 70th Division, and several major staff officers of the division headquarters all failed to break through.

……

After listening to Shi Boying's report, Shi Ziyu leaned on a tree tiredly, and he was in an irritable mood, he wanted to take out a cigarette and want to smoke one, but in the end he didn't light the fire.

"The order is to go down, the whole army is forbidden to light fires and smoke, and after resting for two hours, continue to break through to the south."

After giving the final order, Shi Ziyu leaned against the trunk of the tree and closed his eyes in pain.

……

At dawn, the east slope of the ditch is concave to the east.

The shadows of the trees swayed, and the birds and insects flew in fright. A few devils with camouflage nets wrapped around their helmets, and a Type 92 heavy machine gun erected on the top of a careful hill.

Not far away, a devil lieutenant waved his command knife, allowing his soldiers to quickly occupy a vantage point.

After a short time, the eight devil soldiers ran up the hill sweating profusely, and quickly half-squatted down in a place with a good view.

One of the devils, Scout Cao, looked at the gray figure swaying down the mountain, and closed his left eye with his right hand stretched out, and then closed his right eye after a while. Finally, he looked at the branches of the trees swaying in the wind in the distance.

"Distance 260, northwest wind! Deviation 20!

”

Hearing the data reported by the Devil Army Cao, the other three main shooters began to quickly turn the knob under the grenadier to adjust the volume of the medicine room.

Not long after, the four grenadiers were placed at forty-five degrees in turn, and the muzzles were aimed at the figures under the ravine.

At this time, the four sub-shooters skillfully took out a 50-millimeter anti-personnel grenade from their vests and handed it to the four main shooters on their sides.

Seeing that the grenadier was ready, the devil lieutenant looked down the valley, smiled and raised his command knife, and then fell heavily!

"Wutai!"

In the silent valley, many soldiers were still asleep.

Suddenly, a blazing bullet mercilessly tore through the comfort of dawn. Fifty-millimeter anti-personnel grenades set fire in the crowd, tossing broken bodies one by one, and then slamming them to the side.

In the dense explosion, the soldiers who woke up from their sleep were like a flock of frightened rabbits, quite a few people. In a panic, he tried to climb up the hill to escape, but was beaten into a sieve by merciless bullets.

Amidst screams and wails, Shi Ziyu wiped the blood from his eyes, and struggled to stand up while holding on to the broken tree, but finally collapsed on the grass.

Touching the huge wound on his chest, Shi Ziyu felt a burst of blackness in front of his eyes, and he knew that he couldn't do it.

Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded in his ears, and Shi Ziyu felt that his weak body was being picked up.

"Master! Division! Medic! Medic! ”

Feeling that life was passing quickly, Shi Ziyu stretched out his hands violently, grabbed the people around him, glared at his eyes and said with his last strength: "Boying, take the brothers and rush out, you must rush out...... ”

…… To be continued.
