Hearing Dapeng's roar, everyone's eyes, including Zhou Yu, were focused on Zhao Shixun again.

Although the enemy is still far away from sight, everyone knows in their hearts that the situation has reached a very dangerous juncture. At this juncture, everyone instinctively left the decision to their backbone.

After pondering for a moment, Zhao Shixun's gaze swept from the flow of people in front of him one by one, and finally stopped in front of everyone.

"Brethren, now the devil's troops have reached a position a few miles from here, and have exchanged fire with the brothers of the secret service battalion.

Their purpose is simple, they want to eliminate us and our comrades in the special battalion. ”

"Originally, the result of my discussion with Battalion Commander Yang Chenghu was that we covered the villagers to retreat to the mountains, while the brothers of the special service battalion stayed behind to be responsible for blocking the devils and buying us time. But now it seems that the speed of the devil's attack has obviously greatly exceeded our expectations. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Shixun looked at everyone's eyes, and his voice became high.

"At this moment, the brothers of the special battalion are fighting bloodily with the little devils, using their lives to fight for the people to escape."

After the words were closed, Zhao Shixun pointed to the people fleeing in the distance and continued:

"Now there are two paths in front of our separate detachment.

One is to continue to act according to the original plan and cover the villagers into the mountain.

In that case, we might be fine, but the brothers in the special battalion are hard to say. According to my estimate, few of them will survive until ...... gets dark. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Shixun glanced at everyone's expressions.

"In addition, we have a second way, which is to leave a small number of people to continue to cover the villagers, and the others to return to Nanyang Village to support the brothers of the special battalion. But the result of this is also obvious, that is, you need to fight with the devil until dark before you have a chance to withdraw from the ...... battle.

"Now, I want to ask you, if you were given a chance to choose, what would you choose?"

Hearing Zhao Shixun's inquiry, everyone's faces tightened.

At this time, in fact, everyone understands in their hearts what the results of these two choices mean.

Zhou Yu, who was on the side, heard this and also understood Zhao Shixun's intentions.

In the face of this vicious battle against the devils, the independent detachment has never had such a big test since its establishment.

As Zhao Shixun's old partner, Zhou Yu actually knew very well that Zhao Shixun would definitely bring someone to support Yang Chenghu. And now the reason why Zhao Shixun is doing this is nothing more than to mobilize everyone's morale and eliminate the psychological fear of the recruits before the battle.

After all, although the result of volunteering to go to the battlefield and being pushed to the battlefield by military orders to play for life may seem to be the same, the actual impact on morale is completely different.

After a short silence, Heiwa was the first to break the silence, and was the first to blush and shouted:

"Yes, let's not be a bad seed, go back and fight with the little devils!"

"It's just ......, with the little devil! Our independent detachment is also a standing peeing man, and he can't use others to protect him. ”

Looking at the soldiers in front of them, Zhao Shixun and Zhou Yu glanced at each other, and finally breathed a sigh of relief temporarily.

Fortunately, although the situation is extremely unfavorable to you, the energy in everyone has not yet dissipated.

……

"Independent detachment, all assembled!"

Under Zhou Yu's order, the people who were originally scattered quickly assembled into four columns.

Walking to the front of the team, Zhao Shixun first looked at the old man and shouted:

"Boss!"

"Here!"

"I'll give you a fighter of the reinforcement class, no matter what method you use, you must ensure that a fellow countryman can't be left behind or have an accident, understand?!"

"Understand ......, promise to complete the task!"

Although the old man who was nearly forty years old was still very weak due to his injuries, he still tried his best to straighten up and salute a standard military salute.

……

"The others listened to my orders, carried all their weapons and ammunition, and immediately changed from the rear team to the front team.

Target Nanyang Village, run and start! ”

……

……

East of Nanyang Village, Dushikou position.

Outside the exit of the narrow valley, a Japanese army truck was blazing.

On the hillside on the north side, Xie Gouzi led a company to lie on the bare ridge, quietly waiting for the devil's upcoming attack.

Ten minutes ago, just when the devil finally cleared the obstacles blocking the mouth of the valley and just drove out of the valley, Xie Gouzi also happened to lead people to the battlefield.

Facing the Japanese convoy that was about to rush out of the valley, Xie Gouzi immediately occupied a hillside outside the exit of the valley, and then with a burst of bullets and grenades, the first truck that was about to rush out of the valley collapsed in place.

This time, the devil was once again blocked in the mouth of the monolith.

In the face of the Eighth Route Army's resistance, the Japanese army did not have the slightest intention of retreating. After a short period of repair, the Devil Squadron Leader concentrated six grenadiers and two 90 mortars, and immediately launched a strong attack on the position occupied by Xie Gouzi!

……

Bang bang bang...... Boom!

Suddenly, a grenade pierced through the cold air and slammed into the hill where the company was located.

For a moment, the flames mixed with snow and dirt, and soon the top of the hillside was enveloped in a cloud of smoke.

Under the heavy artillery bombardment, because there were no fortifications to hide, the company occupying the hillside soon suffered more than 20 casualties under the bombardment of the devil's long-range fire.

A few minutes later, as soon as the shelling ended, and before a company could catch its breath, a squad of devils came out again from the exit of the valley under the cover of machine guns.

"Brothers, give me a hard beating!"

In the face of the devil's strong attack, Xie Gouzi knew that there was no opportunistic way, so he could only order to carry it to death.

For a moment, the sudden sound of Czech machine guns and crooked handles immediately spread throughout the valley.

In the rain of bullets, the devils who were constantly charging were hit and fell to the ground, and fell to the snow on their backs. In the same way, the casualty toll on the side of the company has also begun to skyrocket.

Not long after, seeing that the devils had been killed within a distance of less than 50 meters, the soldiers of the first company hurriedly threw out a burst of grenades, blowing up an impermeable wall of smoke in front of the position.

This time, after being overturned by the grenade and overturning eight or nine people, the attacking devil also understood that the casualties were too great, and then quickly retreated to the throwing distance of the grenade of the Eighth Route Army.

In the next second, dense grenadiers and mortars smashed again.

Boom...... Boom ......!

As puffs of smoke rose up the hillside, more and more of the soldiers of the company were tossed aside by the wave of air, and there was no longer life.

In the dense explosion, seeing more and more fallen soldiers around him, Xie Gouzi's eyes were red.

He knew that if he continued to fight like this, he was afraid that it wouldn't be long before all his people had to fight out.

In desperation, Xie Gouzi could only grit his teeth and give the order to retreat.

……

For five minutes, the second lieutenant of the devil looked at the abandoned corpse of the Eighth Route Army on the hillside and smiled cruelly.

"Yo Xi......, continue the pursuit, and you must annihilate all the enemies!"

……

To the east of Nanyang Village, in a wide valley two miles away.

With more than 100 soldiers of the second company, Yang Chenghu ran all the way to this point, and suddenly heard a dense explosion in front of him again.

"Second Company Commander!"

"Here!"

"How many shelling are you?"

"Report to the battalion commander, it's the second formation!"

Hearing this, Yang Chenghu decisively shouted to stop the team.

Panting, Yang Chenghu quickly looked at the surrounding terrain. As his gaze swept over the surrounding bare mountain tops, his brows couldn't help but twist into a Sichuan character.

"Battalion commander, why don't we occupy a commanding height nearby first, and just listen to the gunshots and the devil will be there."

Hearing this, he shook his head, Yang Chenghu gritted his teeth and said:

"The enemy has grenadier mortars, and if we go up the mountain at this time, it will make no sense except to be a live target......

"Ah...... So what to do? You can't just wait here. ”

"......! Of course I know! ”

One sentence choked the commander of the second company and didn't dare to talk again, and Yang Chenghu's tiger eyes quickly skimmed over the surrounding terrain.

After a moment, he pointed to a depression dozens of meters ahead and shouted:

"The small ditch in front of the target, everyone follow me!"

……

Soon, Yang Chenghu took the second company to a dry riverbed.

Looking at the shallow depression running north-south around him, Yang Chenghu knew that this thing was not so much a ditch as a drainage ditch that was washed out by the flash flood here in the summer.

But even so, Yang Chenghu was already quite relieved at this time.

Although the ditch is very shallow, at least dozens of people can be hidden in front of it, so that everyone does not have to be directly exposed to the fire of the devils in broad daylight.

"Hide here and prepare to block the devil's attack!"

With Yang Chenghu's order, more than 100 people in the second company couldn't care about the two-foot-thick snow on the ground, and just lay down in the ditch.

……

Not long after everyone entered the position, with a faint sound of dense footsteps, dozens of gray figures suddenly appeared from the wide valley in front of them, and then stumbled straight towards Yang Chenghu and them.

Seeing someone coming, there was immediately a sound of pulling the bolt of the gun in the position.

In the next second, a sharp-eyed soldier suddenly raised his head and said loudly:

"It's Brother Dog...... It's a company of brothers! ”

Hearing this, he raised his binoculars and glanced at it, Yang Chenghu was overjoyed, and hurriedly got up and shouted to the other side, asking the other party to run over quickly.

……

Soon, under the leadership of Xie Gouzi, more than fifty blackened soldiers of the Eighth Route Army ran to Yang Chenghu and them.

As soon as they jumped into the ditch, many soldiers collapsed to the ground from exhaustion. And Xie Gouzi looked at Yang Chenghu, who was expressionless, and lowered his head in shame.

"Battalion commander...... I didn't hold the monolithic pass...... Punish me. ”

Seeing that Xie Gouzi seemed to be a little emotional, Yang Chenghu hurriedly stepped forward and patted Xie Gouzi on the shoulder, signaling that the other party was no big deal.

After comforting Xie Gouzi, Yang Chenghu glanced at the exit of the valley not far away, and then turned his head to look at his soldiers.

"Brothers......, the enemy is at present, and I don't have much nonsense.

Lao Tzu still said the same thing, today is the Lord of Yama himself, and Lao Tzu is going to pull a beard off his mouth!

Prepare for battle ......!! ”
