In the deafening explosion, before Xue Liqun could climb to He Zhendong's side, he was knocked to the ground by a violent wave of air and fainted.

In this way, it was not until long after the end of the shelling that he got up from a pile of broken tiles with the help of several soldiers of the guard company of the 21st Regiment.

Seeing the tragic situation of the 21st Regiment with his own eyes, Xue Liqun still had the mind to ask for help. After asking He Zhendong about the situation of the 21st regiment, he hurriedly ran back.

"You two, you go and call Doctor Shao and Nurse Xiaohe out immediately, and say that I have something important to discuss with them."

"Yes! Staff Officer Xue! ”

Suddenly, Xue Liqun stood up violently, pointed at the two Eighth Route Army soldiers beside Lao Qi with a serious face, and asked them to call Doctor Shao out.

……

A few seconds later, seeing the backs of the two warriors entering the house, Xue Liqun quickly withdrew his gaze, and then walked straight to the old man who was sitting on the bunker.

When he returned the kettle to the other party, Xue Liqun suddenly raised his hand and pulled up the old man's right hand.

"Comrade Lao, now that the devils have surrounded us, if we don't break through again, I'm afraid that the whole army will be wiped out here......

You know, it's nothing if we die, but if Dr. Shao falls into the hands of devils, it will definitely be a ...... to survive and not to die. ”

Hearing this, the old man with a painful face gasped a few times, then opened his eyes slightly, stared at the other party and opened his mouth with difficulty.

"Can you stand out? ……”

"Absolutely, but I'm afraid that Dr. Shao won't go, ......, so ...... Ay....... ”

Looking at Xue Liqun, who sighed frequently, the old man's mind suddenly recalled Zhao Shixun's instructions before leaving, asking him to ensure the safety of Dr. Shao.

"What do you need me to do, straight...... Let's get to the point.......

In the flickering eyes, the old man seemed to understand something.

Secretly overjoyed when he heard this, Xue Liqun looked at the group of almost unarmed wounded soldiers of the 21st Regiment around him, and then whispered all his thoughts.

……

A few minutes later, when Shao Mengru ran over with Xiaohe, Xue Liqun gently patted the old man on the shoulder, then stood up and took the initiative to meet the other party, and directly pulled Shao Mengru aside.

"Chief Xue, you're not injured, are you?"

Seeing that Xue Liqun's military uniform was blackened, Shao Mengru immediately looked left and right worriedly, wanting to bandage the other party's wounds.

"It's okay, I just got smoked by the smoke and fire......

Feeling the fragrant snort of the woman who was so excited, Xue Liqun first took a deep breath, and then grabbed the other party's arm.

"Mengru, now that the devils are besieging the regimental headquarters of the 21st Regiment, I think it is difficult for them to protect themselves, and it is impossible to divide troops to rescue our .......

So ......, so I'm going to take you and the active soldiers and rush out through the back door to see if I can break out of the town, but go and meet Zhou Yu. ”

Between his eyes, Xue Liqun stumbled out his thoughts.

"Breakout? But what about the 21st Regiment and our wounded? ”

"Mengru, since we are breaking through, of course it is impossible to take care of everyone."

Hearing this, Shao Mengru was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the other party in surprise.

"Chief Xue, if we leave them here, then none of these wounded will survive.

And the eldest brother is also injured, he was injured to protect us, should we also throw him down? ”

Hearing this, he glanced at the pale old man not far away, Xue Liqun coughed lightly, and then pulled Shao Mengru and whispered:

"Mengru...... war kills people, we can't let more people die here in vain because of a few wounded, right? You tell me....... ”

Hearing this, Shao Mengru's head suddenly shook a few times.

"I know that war will kill people, but the eldest brother is our comrade-in-arms, how can he say give up! No, I don't agree! In short, if you want to live, everyone will live together, and if you want to die, everyone will die together....... ”

Seeing that Shao Mengru's emotions were getting more and more excited, Xue Liqun immediately subconsciously glanced at the direction of the old man with his spare eyes.

"Comrade Shao Mengru! Do you think I don't want to take everyone with me? Let me tell you, it is not my opinion to lead the wounded to leave behind to cover our breakthrough, but the opinion of Comrade Lao! Do you understand? ”

Suddenly, Xue Liqun's voice suddenly raised a few degrees, which really scared Shao Mengru for a moment. In the past, Xue Liqun had never yelled so loudly in front of Shao Mengru, and he was always polite.

was at a loss for a while by Xue Liqun's words, and Shao Mengru was stunned for more than ten seconds before slowly coming back to her senses.

"Mengru, don't let the sacrifices of your comrades become worthless, we really don't have much time!"

At this moment, the old man also slowly stood up with the support of a wounded man.

Looking at the eleven young warriors in front of him, a slight smile suddenly appeared on the wrinkled old face.

After patting each fighter on the shoulder, he pulled out a crumpled note from his bosom and handed it to a seasoned warrior.

"If you can go back alive, bring this thing to my Uncle Shunzi, and he will understand the contents at a glance."

"Don't worry, platoon commander, we'll bring something!"

After nodding with satisfaction, the old man waved his hand gently.

"All turn backwards! Target Chief of Staff Xue, step in unison ^ go! ”

Soon, eleven warriors came to Xue Liqun's side.

And after witnessing all this, Shao Mengru's eyes instantly turned red.

"No...... I'm a doctor, and I can't just leave my patients behind. I've got to stay...... I can't walk ....... ”

Looking at the old man and the resolute eyes of the wounded, Shao Mengru suddenly felt that his chest was abnormally stuffy.

"Comrade Shao Mengru...... we can't delay, we must leave here immediately!"

"No...... I'm not going....... ”

Suddenly feeling like a knife, Shao Mengru squatted down in pain.

Seeing this scene, Xue Liqun's face turned cold, and then he looked at the soldiers beside him and said:

"A few of you hurry up and help up Doctor Shao and Nurse Xiaohe, and the rest of you will come with me!"

Hearing Xue Liqun's shout, several soldiers hurriedly set up Shao Mengru and Xiaohe, and then followed everyone all the way to the backyard gate.

According to the sound of gunfire outside, Xue Liqun judged that the main direction of the Japanese army at this time was the station of the third battalion. So if they want to break through and withdraw from the battlefield at this time, the only way is to break through to the north, and then find a way to meet up with the independent detachment.

……

Soon, when the back door was slowly opened, Xue Liqun held Browning and carefully poked his head out, and quickly glanced at the situation on the street behind the back door.

When he saw the barricade dozens of meters away from the east side of the street, Xue Liqun swallowed hard, and then took a grenade from the soldier behind him.

Unscrewing the back cover, Xue Liqun stared at the soldiers beside him and said:

"Our target was the alley across the street to the west, a maximum of 50 meters away. After a while I threw a grenade at the barricade, Dr. Shao and I left first, and the rest of you shot on the spot to cover.

When we get to the position, you throw two more grenades, and then I'll shoot at the destination to cover your evacuation, understand? ”

"Understood......."

After making sure that the fighters understood what they meant, Xue Liqun took a deep breath and quickly pulled the lead away.

With the sound of squeaky fuses burning, Xue Liqun and a soldier quickly rushed out the back door, and then threw the grenade out with all their might.

"Run......!"

The moment the grenade popped out of his hand, Xue Liqun didn't even look at it, and ran towards the alley where the target was located.

Behind him, the four warriors carried Shao Mengru and Xiaohe, who were almost stupid, and also rushed out the back door one after another.

……

"Dirt Eight Road wants to escape......! Inside! Inside! ”

Because more than a dozen devils in the barricade continuously inflicted heavy losses on the breakout of the 21st Regiment Guard Company, until Xue Liqun and them broke through, the Japanese once thought that the backyard street was already a dead place, and no one would go to the street to find death at all.

So when Xue Liqun and the others suddenly rushed out in a daze, the devil once thought that what he saw was an illusion.

Therefore, it wasn't until Xue Liqun and the others had run half the distance that the devils in the barricade reacted.

However, just as they were about to shoot, a sharp-eyed devil also saw two grenades rolling near the barricade.

"Watch out for grenades!

Boom ......!

With two dull explosions, a thick cloud of smoke immediately enveloped the entire street.

Although the damage was extremely limited because the grenade failed to be thrown into the barricade, the sudden explosion successfully interrupted the devil's blocking action.

And when a few disgraced devils tried to get up and shoot again, they were interrupted by the shooting of the soldiers left behind.

In the end, Xue Liqun and the five of them all ran into the alley unscathed. The Japanese bullets failed to knock down a single person, except for a cloud of smoke and dust behind them.

……

The moment he ran into the alley, Xue Liqun felt that his heart was about to jump out.

In this short period of a few tens of meters, he realized what it means to race against death!

"Quick, cover the people behind ......!"

With his back against the cold wall, Xue Liqun gave a follow-up order out of breath.

Soon, the four soldiers who had already broken through immediately leaned out and began to cover the rest of the people to continue the breakthrough.

However, the next action ended far less than Xue Liqun's success this time.

Because the Japanese were prepared, when the second wave tried to repeat the old tricks, they were immediately met with dense fire.

In just a dozen seconds, although the seven fighters who broke through in the follow-up also tried their best, in the end, except for leaving three corpses on the street, none of them could stand out.

A few minutes later, after paying the price of three dead and two wounded one after another, Xue Liqun could only give up the operation of letting the second wave of people break through, turned around and took Shao Mengru and them to evacuate north in a hurry.
