On 9 May, the third day of the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, enemy planes began bombing the ferry crossings on the north bank and the river defense units on the south bank.

The First Theater took the lead in issuing a retreat order to the Fifth Army stationed on the western line of Zhongtiao Mountain, so there was a scene where Staff Officer Chen took the retreat order to find Division Commander Wang on the Taizhai position, and as a result, Division Commander Wang and Staff Officer Chen were both martyred, and Deputy Division Commander Liang led his troops to evacuate, shouldering the task of breaking off the 80th Army.

At this time, the First Theater sent two regiments to cross the Yellow River and seize the Wufuzhang Ferry, which was also the retreat route for the officers and men of the 80th Army to retreat south.

Commander Zeng of the Fifth Army also received an order, but the road to the south had been blocked by the Japanese invaders, so he had to order all units to retreat to the north.

Division Commander Chen, who was holding on to the Yuanqu Ferry, also received an order to retreat, and was about to send someone to contact the 254th Regiment, but saw the signal corps rushing into the temporary headquarters in a hurry, "Regiment Commander, the brothers of the 254th Regiment are back......

"Okay," Hearing this, Head Chen was immediately overjoyed, "It's just the right time to come back, this Ouyang is really timely rain!" ”

"Regiment Commander," the signal soldier was stunned, and hurriedly added, "Regiment Commander Ouyang didn't come back...... The 254th Regiment was surrounded by little devils, and Regiment Commander Ouyang and Deputy Regiment Commander Chen were killed...... Only the hundred-and-ten brothers came back. ”

"What?" Head Chen was shocked, gritted his teeth and scolded, "Little devil of dog days......"

"Regiment Commander," before Commander Chen's words fell, a signal soldier rushed in panting, looking anxious, "Regiment Commander, the western defense line has been broken through by little devils...... He ...... deputy head of the regiment Martyrdom! ”

"Ah......h

Captain Chen raised his head to the sky and roared angrily, his figure was already shaky, and Ma Sanyan on the side hurriedly held him up, "Commander, withdraw quickly!" ”

Captain Chen shook his arms, broke free from Ma Sanyan's arms, and waved his big hand, "Give Lao Tzu ......"

"Commander," Ma Sanyan hurriedly interrupted Commander Chen, "You can't trap all the brothers here!" ”

"Holy shit," Captain Chen's big hand froze in the air, turned his head suddenly, and stared at Ma San fiercely, but finally turned into a weak lament, "Withdraw!" ”

"Yes," Ma Sanyan quickly perked up, "We ...... after the break"

The defense line of the 253rd Regiment to the west has been broken through by the Japanese invaders, and the north has also been overwhelmed by a large army, so it can only break through desperately.

It was another hard fight, Division Commander Chen rushed to the ferry with the main force to fight, and Ma Sanyan's department retreated to the bank of the Yellow River, which had been blocked by the little devils who came from the west, and the little devils from the north also began to detour to the east.

"Run east!" Ma San saw that the ferry could not go back, so he rushed to the east with a wave of his gun, "Go to the single stone ferry!" ”

At the Danshi ferry, Li Siwei also received an order to retreat, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly ordered all departments to retreat to the ferry.

At the single stone ferry, all units quickly evacuated, and Li Siwei took the special service company and cavalry company to break off.

After a short time, there was only a small black spot left on the five ferries, and Li Siwei was so relieved that he hurriedly ordered the troops to retreat.

The special service company was fast, and the cavalry company had horses to walk, and in a short time, they rushed to the ferry and boarded the boat.

The anchor had been raised, and the ferry had begun to turn around, but at this moment, the gunfire in the west suddenly became clear and was rapidly approaching.

Holy shit, it's coming so fast!

Li Siwei was startled, and hurriedly raised his binoculars to look at the avenue to the west, and saw more than a dozen routs rushing towards the ferry, and a hundred and ten meters behind them was a little devil.

Li Siwei scolded secretly, and hurriedly yelled, "Stop the boat and save people!" ”

"Help! Saving ......"

For a while, the roar of the ship came and went.

Rifles of various colors and several light machine guns equipped with cavalry companies were set up on the side of the ship, ready for battle.

The little devil naturally saw the boat on the ferry, but how could a ship stop the pursuit of the imperial warriors?

The pursuing little devil turned a blind eye to the guns on the side of the ship, and just struggled to catch Ma Sanyan and the others to the ferry.

"Da Da Da ......"

Three light machine guns were the first to fire, and the bullets flew straight at the little devil's pursuers like flying locusts.

"Puff puff...... Ahhh......h

The little devil's pursuit suddenly stalled.

"Run!"

Seeing this, Ma Sanyan and the others were in high spirits, and they threw off their legs and ran towards the ferry.

"Yaga ......"

The pursuers of the little devils couldn't see through it at a glance, but the ones who ran fast were all the little devils with 38 big covers, and they were helpless for a while against the machine guns.

Seeing Ma Sanyan and the others getting closer and closer to the shore, Li Siwei breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly yelled, "Prepare to sail ......"

"Mmmm......mmmm

Before Li Siwei finished speaking, he heard a roar in the sky, and hurriedly looked up, only to see more than 10 enemy planes swooping down toward the ferry, "shhhh......h

"Sail! Let's get on the boat......"

"Machine gun wrenched ......"

There was a roar on the ferry, and there was chaos.

"......Shhh

But where is the time?

The screaming sound overhead was deafening, and Li Siwei hurriedly hissed and yelled, "Jump ship......

"Bang...... Puff ......"

Before Li Siwei's words fell, he was thrown to the ground by Li Sanguang on the side.

"Bang bang...... Boom ......"

At the same time, two bombs had been smashed on the ferry, one in the tail and one in the center, and suddenly the smoke and flames were churning, and the hull of the ship was torn apart.

"Ah...... Uhh......hh

The sound of terrible howls shook everywhere.

"Mmmm......mmmm

The enemy planes swept past the single stone crossing and continued to sweep eastward, leaving only a wrecked crossing and a vicious river.

"Ah......h

Li Siwei only felt the pain in his left leg, but the miserable howl in his ears and the fireworks in all directions made him even more sad and indignant.

It would have been good!

We've already received the order to retreat!

The brothers are already on the boat, and they can leave......

"Old ...... Fourth, the ship should be ......"

Li Sanguang's voice sounded in Li Siwei's ears, weak and powerless, "It's going to sink ......"

The tail of the ferry has been blown up and is slowly sinking.

"Third brother......" Li Siwei turned over and sat up with difficulty, and was about to help Li Sanguang, but at first glance, his heart was cold...... Li Sanguang's back was already a blur of flesh and blood.

"Bang bang bang...... Shhhhh......h

The battle defense artillery on the south bank rang out, and shells shot up into the sky.

"Bang...... Boom ......"

However, the enemy planes had already gone east, and only one enemy plane at the tail of the squadron was hit, and it instantly turned into a ball of brilliant fireworks and scattered in all directions.

The enemy planes went away, and the Danshi ferry was in mourning.

"Help! Save ...... Quickly"

Li Siwei's left leg was cut open by shrapnel, and Li Sanguang pressed most of his body, unable to move at all, and could only roar.

"Commander......"

Huang Hua and Sun Dali rushed over first, Huang Hua picked up Li Sanguang and jumped under the boat, and Sun Dali also picked up Li Siwei and jumped down.

After being rescued from the boat, Li Siwei hurriedly looked back, and his heart was suddenly cold.

There was also a fire farther down the river......

"Da Da Da ......"

"Bang ......"

What's even worse is that the little devil who is chasing pounces again.

"Tear down the planks and send the wounded brother away first!" Huanghua's roar resounded through the ferry, "You can still fight and walk with Lao Tzu......"

Before the voice fell, Huang Hua had already rushed out with a spear and went straight to the fortifications next to the ferry, and the brothers hurriedly followed.

Can you fight?

Li Cannon's soldiers, as long as they haven't lost their breath, they can fight!

"Dog's Day ......"

Li Siwei scolded angrily, pulled out the box cannon on his waist and was about to rush over, but was pulled by Wu Tianyou, who had just rushed over, "You go quickly, ......"

"Don't worry about Lao Tzu," Li Siwei shook his arms, broke free from Wu Tianyou, the cat bent down, and limped towards the fortifications.

"Dog," Wu Tianyou hurriedly chased two steps, grabbed Li Siwei and dragged him to the shore, "You marry my sister, I have to take care of you...... I can't let him be widowed! ”

"Let go of Lao Tzu, let go of Lao Tzu ......"

Li Siwei is still struggling desperately, but even if he is not injured, he can't earn Wu Tianyou, let alone injured?

"Acton," Wu Tianyou turned a deaf ear to Li Siwei's roar, and yelled at Acton, who stumbled over, with a solemn expression, "The head of the regiment will be handed over to you, bring him back alive...... He's here, the 66th Regiment is here! ”

"Yes!" Acton hurriedly put his legs together and wanted to salute, but his right hand was already drenched in blood and couldn't lift it at all.

"Li Cannon," Wu Tianyou finished instructing Acton, shook his hand vigorously, and threw Li Siwei, who was still struggling, to the ground, glaring at him fiercely, with a fierce voice, "Anyone in the 66th Regiment can die, but you can't die......"

As he spoke, Wu Tianyou took off the spear on his shoulder and rushed to the fortifications, leaving only one sentence, "Remember Lao Tzu ......"

"Ah......h

Looking at Wu Tianyou's back, Li Siwei roared, tears had blurred his eyes, but he could only roar angrily, "Ah......"

"Commander, let's go!"

Acton hurriedly went to pull Li Siwei, "If you go, the brothers will have a way to live!" ”

"Yes!"

Li Siwei was shocked, hurriedly got up with his hands and feet, and stumbled to the river.

Acton's words wake up the dreamer!

The matter has come to this point, if Li Siwei leaves, the brothers can still find a way to break through, but if Li Siwei wants to stay, it must be a situation of endless death.

"Commander," Acton breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly chased after him, but his eyes searched around.

On the surface of the river, the planks gradually faded away, and the planks lying on the planks were all wounded, and the planks could only drift with the current, and no one could say whether they could float to the other side.

In addition to the planks, there were also frightened war horses fluttering in the river...... Suddenly, Acton's eyes lit up, and he quickly raised his left hand and put it to his mouth.

"Shh......h

The whistle sounded, and the war horses that were fluttering in the river turned their heads to look back, and a jujube red horse suddenly swam towards the shore.

"Quick," Acton hurriedly pulled Li Siwei up and greeted him.

The turbid river water soaked the wound on his left leg, and Li Siwei gasped in pain, but the increasingly dense gunfire behind him did not allow him to hesitate at all.

The jujube red horse swam very fast, Acton dragged Li Siwei to run faster, and after a while, the river flooded to his chest, and Acton grinned in pain, but fortunately, the horse had swam to the front......

"Grab the horse's tail," Acton yelled behind Li Siwei and pushed him over.

Li Siwei was pushed onto the horse's back, and hurriedly touched the horse's tail according to his words, and grabbed it tightly.

"Got it," Li Siwei turned around and shouted at Acton, "You come over quickly...... too"

"Commander," Acton didn't move, just looked at Li Siwei and laughed, "Where can a horse hold two people?" You go first, and I'll figure it out......"

"Shh......h

The whistling sound sounded again, and the red horse looked at Acton tightly, and the big horse's eyes were full of doubts, but when he saw Acton smiling and waving his hand, he glanced at Acton reluctantly, and turned around and swam towards the middle of the river.

The horse turned its head, Li Siwei lay tightly on the horse's back, grabbed the horse's tail, stabilized his figure, and when he looked up, he only saw Acton's back.

He was walking towards the shore, his figure staggering a little, but his steps were firm.

Li Siwei understood, opened his mouth, but couldn't make a sound at all, tears slipped down, Li Siwei could only look up at the sky, the sunset in the sky was like blood, but why were the tears so salty?

The riverbank gradually faded away, the sound of guns and cannons gradually subsided, Li Siwei grabbed the horse's tail with both hands, and could only let the tears flow freely...... In a daze, he saw that Acton had already landed, picked up a spear and rushed farther away.

This section of the Yellow River's bankline, which winds for thousands of miles, is not wide, but it is not easy to rely on horses to support it.

The jujube red horse swam hard in the river water as far as the eye could see, and Li Siwei lay on the horse's back tightly, clutching the horse's tail tightly, already physically and mentally exhausted.

Originally...... Everything is fine!

The retreat of the Ninth Army was also chaotic at a few ferries further east, with the ferries bombed to the north, with many men and few boats, and pursuers behind......

As night fell, the retreat still didn't end.

The vanguard of the 80th Army broke through the encirclement of the Japanese and rushed to the Wufuzhang ferry, but the reinforcements who came to meet were nowhere to be seen, and only two overturned ferries and a river full of broken wood and planks were left on the ferry.

"Tear down the planks!" Kong Jun looked at everything in front of him and sighed weakly, "If you can cross one, it counts as a ......."

The Japanese are coming, and that's the only way!

The soldiers began to look for all the tools that could be used to cross the river, and the scene was chaotic.

When Deputy Division Commander Liang rushed to the ferry with the broken troops, he rummaged for a while, but where could he still find a few decent planks?

"Division commander," the guard platoon leader Wang ran over, "you go first......

"No," Deputy Division Commander Liang shook his head and interrupted Platoon Commander Wang, his expression was calm, and his tone was slow but firm, "I promised the division commander...... Let the brothers go first! ”

"This ......" Platoon Leader Wang was stunned, so he had to sigh helplessly and throw off his sleeves and leave.

Looking at the back of Platoon Commander Wang, Deputy Division Commander Liang slowly took off the spear on his shoulder, turned around, and ran in the direction where the gunfire came.

However, he knew that there were no more bullets in the gun.
