With the destruction of the third attacker, the Japanese attack came to a halt again.

It's just that this time the attack was stopped not because the attack was blocked, but because the few light and heavy machine guns used by the Japanese army as cover were a little overheated, and it took more than ten minutes to cool down.

In this precious interval between battles, Xie Gouzi asked everyone to discredit the desperately reinforced bunkers, and at the same time sent people to send the last of the wounded out of the West Bank position.

After the fierce battle just now, although they repelled three attacks by the Japanese army and eliminated no less than sixty or seventy Japanese puppet soldiers, the price was also extremely heavy.

So far, more than half of the soldiers of a company in Xie Gouzi's hands have been consumed, and there are only more than 50 people left who can still get up and fight.

Not only that, but they also lost the only heavy firepower they could rely on.

After a fierce bombardment, the devil's grenadier not only killed five machine gunners, but also hit the Type 92 heavy machine gun into a problem, and it was impossible to count on in a short time.

In the dark, watching the bodies of his comrades being carried out of the trench and put aside, Xie Gouzi called a soldier with sharp legs and feet with a gloomy face.

"You go to Nanyang Village immediately, and ask Chief of Staff Xue to send us some ammunition and explosives bags. Also, you told him that the attacking Japanese army had more than a squadron of troops, and that we had already suffered more than half of the casualties, so let them plan ahead! ”

"Yes!"

……

Ten minutes later, Nanyang Village.

Looking at the soldiers of the special service battalion standing in front of him asking for ammunition support, Xue Liqun, who was directing the evacuation of the column organs, looked extremely irritable.

"I said, how did your deputy battalion commander Xie Gouzi do it? If you want ammunition, don't send someone to get it yourself!

Besides, you have sent more than 20 wounded people back and forth, and I don't even have enough people to carry stretchers, so where do you want me to go to find someone for you? ”

“…… Chief of Staff, more than half of us have already suffered casualties, and we really can't spare any manpower. ”

"What? More than half of the casualties? ”

Suddenly hearing that the troops guarding the bridge had suffered such heavy casualties, Xue Liqun was also stunned. In his impression, it is in the dark sky to wait for work, and the difficulty of guarding the bridge should not be too great.

"It's been less than an hour, how did you do that?"

In the face of Xue Liqun's questioning, the soldier who reported the news was also aggrieved in his heart. However, as soon as he thought of his battalion commander's explanation when he left, he hurriedly continued.

"Our battalion commander said that the number of devils attacking the pontoon bridge is no less than one squadron, and he asked you to think about it early."

"What, more than a squadron?!"

Hearing this, Xue Liqun's face suddenly turned pale. He thought that what he encountered was a small group of Japanese puppet army troops that went deep into the mountains to sweep, but he didn't expect that there would be so many.

And just when he was in a daze, the soldiers of several guard companies suddenly passed through the chaotic crowd and came to Xue Liqun's side.

"Chief of Staff, Chief of Staff!"

"I'm here, what's wrong?"

Seeing that the faces of the several soldiers rushing over were wrong, Xue Liqun subconsciously asked.

Hearing this, he glanced around, and a guard company squad leader leaned into Xue Liqun's ear and said a few words with a solemn face.

The next moment, Xue Liqun, who was originally just gloomy face, suddenly had a murderous look on his face, and a mouthful of unique white teeth clucked.

"These miscellaneous pieces, sure enough, there are internal ghosts hidden inside! Where are they now? ”

"Everyone was arrested by Section Chief Xu, and now they are locked up in the courtyard of the column's logistics warehouse."

"Good...... Come with me! ”

After the words were closed, Xue Liqun gritted his teeth and took out his Browning pistol, turned his head and walked towards the column headquarters.

Seeing this, the soldiers of the special service battalion who came to report the news didn't know what was going on at all, so they hurriedly walked over and stopped in front of the other party.

"Chief of Staff, you haven't given us reinforcements yet?"

"Ammunition fart, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you now, get up!"

Seeing that the chief of staff was moved with murderous intent, the fighters of several guard companies hurriedly pulled aside the soldiers who were blocking the way.

One of them was afraid that the other party would do something stupid again, so he whispered and said:

"Silly boy, we've just had a big incident...... You follow us first, and we'll talk about the ammunition later. ”

The words were closed, and the soldiers of several guard companies hurriedly followed Xue Liqun's pace and went straight to the column's logistics warehouse.

At this time, the column's logistics warehouse was actually the original ammunition reserve point of the special service battalion. Since the first column came here, Jiang Hongfei opened up an abandoned courtyard next door and directly transformed this place into a warehouse for the first column.

And just when everyone came to the warehouse in a hurry, they happened to find that Lao Qintou, the logistics leader of a column, was organizing the soldiers to carry grain and gunpowder, preparing to load these things onto the mule cart outside the courtyard and transport them.

"Lao Qin, what about those people who came back with the guards?"

Hearing this, he turned around and saw that it was Xue Liqun who came, and Old Qin Tou hurriedly stopped what he was doing, pointed to the people in the courtyard and said:

"There are too few people to keep busy, so I asked them to go to the yard to carry food."

"What?! Lao Qin, are you crazy, there are spies in them, how can you release them casually! ”

Xue Liqun waved his hand and ordered directly to the soldiers of the guard company behind him:

"What are you doing there, hurry up and get the people together."

After the words were closed, Xue Liqun looked at the old Qin Tou who wanted to speak and stopped, pointed to the figure in the courtyard and said in an unkind tone:

"The telephone line between us and the north and south guard posts has been vandalized, and three people have died in the communications department sent to inspect the line. I now have serious suspicions that the killer must be among those who have just been screened...... ”

Bang Bang ...... Bang bang......

Before Xue Liqun could finish speaking, several chaotic gunshots suddenly came from the courtyard, which shocked everyone.

In the next second, Xue Liqun, whose face changed greatly, subconsciously pulled the Browning bolt in his hand, pushed away Lao Qin's head and rushed into the courtyard.

Following the sound of gunfire, Xue Liqun led seven or eight soldiers from the guard company and rushed all the way to the back of an adobe house in the northwest corner of the warehouse.

"Who's shooting? Who?! ”

In the shouting, Xue Liqun, who rushed to the front, just ran to the side of the house, and happened to meet Xu Guofeng, who was walking out with a torch.

"Old Xu?"

"Chief of Staff Xue, just now there were three spies who tried to escape from the back wall while they were killed on the spot by our ......."

After the words were closed, Xu Guofeng let go of his gaze and let everyone see the three corpses lying in the corner.

"These three people are the spies mixed in the screening team, just now they used the stall where Lao Qin Tou commanded everyone to carry supplies, and sneaked to the backyard to prepare to escape. Hum...... When I found out, I tried to resist and let me slaughter him. ”

Lightly put away the smoking box cannon in his hand, Xu Guofeng said righteously.

Hearing this, he stared at the corpse on the ground and looked at it again and again, and Xue Liqun breathed a long sigh of relief after a while.

patted Xu Guofeng's shoulder with a grateful face, and Xue Liqun said earnestly:

"Thanks to you this time, when Political Commissar Jiang comes back, I will report this matter truthfully and give you a good credit!"

This old Qin Tou is really ignorant of ....... ”

After closing the conversation, he looked at the people gathered behind him, and waved his hand irritably.

"It's all gone, the spies have been corrected on the spot. Everyone quickly packed up their things and evacuated the village immediately! ”

After "successfully" eradicating the spies, Xue Liqun's mood seemed to be much better.

However, after returning to the front yard, he looked at the seventeen "personnel to be screened" in the courtyard who were controlled by the guard company, and he still felt faintly uneasy.

After this incident, he was still highly skeptical about whether there were still hidden spies among these people.

After a short period of consideration, in line with the attitude that these people must not retreat into the mountain together, Xue Liqun directly ordered these people to bring some ammunition supplies that Xie Gouzi wanted, and replenished all of them to the bridge guarding troops.

At the same time as sending these people to the river, Xue Liqun also ordered the telecommunications office to immediately send an urgent telegram to the independent detachment in the name of the column headquarters, so that it could immediately set off overnight to move closer to him.

……

At the same time, just as the first column began to withdraw from Nanyang Village, the Japanese troops on the east bank of the Xixiao River also launched the fourth attack on the pontoon bridge after twenty minutes of repair.

As in the previous attack, the Japanese first used flares to illuminate the opposite shore as bright as day, and then sent more than a dozen puppet troops to the bridge and road.

And when Xie Gouzi and the others opened fire to stop them, grenadiers and light and heavy machine guns immediately greeted them fiercely.

……

In the rumbling explosion, watching the counterattack fire on the other side being dumbed down one by one, Okazaki, who was in command at the bridgehead, smiled and raised his command knife.

"Misawa-kun, the enemy is already weak, it's up to you below!"

Hearing this, Misawa nodded, looked at the dozens of subordinates around him who were already ready to attack, and opened his throat and shouted:

"A small team, all bayonets, toast to ......!"

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