At three o'clock in the morning, Yue Siliang was called up by the soldiers in charge of the night vigil.

After all the fighters of the second and third battalions were awakened, the soldiers of the first battalion began to rest. Now there are still a few hours left before the official breakout time.

The devils below the mountain are still patrolling back and forth. It's still early, and it will take some time before the devil is really tired.

"The noses of these little devils are really smart, it seems that the previous radio contact with the brigade commander has made the devils believe that we are in this area."

Lying beside Yue Siliang, Wang Shuangyin whispered.

"That's what it should be. However, the Sasaki United behind us is really not simple, since we came out of Lingqiu, they have always been hanging behind, and now this Sasaki United is still stationed more than ten kilometers away from us, lined up a big net, which is clearly trying to surround us. ”

Yue Siliang said this, and began to think repeatedly in his heart. The Sasaki Wing behind them is no longer like a thorn in the back, and the encirclement formed by three times their strength is simply a sword wall copper net.

……

In the cold night, time passed very slowly, and more than two hours were like two years. When the minute hand pointed to six, and the hour hand pointed to the middle of five and six, Yue Siliang's head was a spirit at that time.

"Rise up, all warriors! We're getting ready to break out! ”

“……”

The whole group was suddenly in good spirits, although there was no sound, but on the top of Mu Niang Mountain, there seemed to be an invisible aura shrouded in the sky.

The sky faintly seemed to be about to come out with a bright color, and it was when this ghost bared his teeth that the cold wind drilled into people's clothes like a knife. The devils patrolling below also yawned, and they were about to change shifts, and nothing happened this night, and the devils began to slack off.

A motorcycle, which was driving to the middle of the road, suddenly stopped, and the devil on it jumped off the ground, lifted his pants, and tightened his shirt. He yawned a lot and tilted his head up the hill at random.

At this time, the devil's ears faintly seemed to hear a gust of wind, something whirling and drilling the wind towards this side.

"It's like a bullet ......"

As soon as such a thought occurred in the heart of this devil soldier, his eyebrows were pierced by a bullet. And the source of this bullet is also their Japanese Type 38 rifle.

"Smack!"

The muzzle velocity of the 38 big cover can reach more than 700 meters, and it was only after the ghost soldier was pierced through the skull that the sound of gunfire reached here.

"Alert!"

The other devil on the motorcycle shouted when he heard the gunshot, but his shouting was meaningless. With the sound of this gunshot, a large number of soldiers rushed down from Muniang Mountain, and it was the third battalion that was the leader.

"Da Da Da ......"

At the forefront was the crooked light machine gun, and the capture in the county arsenal made the various units of the 424th Regiment come to a solid shotgun exchange. The devils on the road below the mountain didn't have time to react at all, and they who were trained in orthodox army positional warfare did not expect that the Eighth Route would choose such a time period to break through.

The devils who were patrolling tried to fight back, but the lead team that rushed down first ignored them. is still moving forward bravely, and these patrolling devils naturally have fighters behind them to deal with.

"Squadron leader, the 424th Regiment of the Eighth Route Army has appeared!"

In the temporary camp of a Japanese squadron, the Japanese squadron leader was half-asleep when he received the following report. When I heard the report, I woke up.

"Eight roads?! Where are they?! ”

"Squadron leader, the Eighth Road is directly in front of us, attacking from the direction of Mu Niang Mountain!"

"Mu Niangshan...... Mu Niangshan?! What about our patrol force?! ”

The Japanese squadron leader really woke up at this time, and said in disbelief.

"The patrol force has been completely annihilated, and the attack on the eighth road is fierce!"

The Japanese corporal reported loudly, his heart was also full of shock, and now he believed that it was not a rumor that the other party could defeat the Nishimura Brigade head-on!

……

"Regiment commander, the third battalion has advanced one kilometer forward, and it is about to come into contact with the devil's cordon. If we're optimistic, we'll be able to break out of the devil's encirclement in an hour. Shouldn't the 1st and 2nd battalions also follow? ”

Wang Shuangyin, who was observing with a telescope in his hand on the mountain, said faintly excitedly that although it was still dark, it could be seen from the huge gap in the Japanese firelight that the attack of the third battalion was going well.

……

"Wing Commander, the movement of the Eighth Route Army has been discovered in the direction of Muniang Mountain, and they have already exchanged fire with the troops stationed there. And the attack of the eighth road was very fierce, and in less than ten minutes, they had already advanced a kilometer! ”

Kato reported a little excitedly, and at the same time secretly smacked his tongue in his heart, after coming to fight China, he really had almost never encountered such an army, not only daring to take the initiative to attack the imperial army, but also having such a strong combat effectiveness.

"Sure enough, they were there! Such an army is not in vain! ”

Sasaki said excitedly, while looking at the map on the table by the light of the kerosene lamp.

"The closest to them is the Mizuno Brigade, which is only eight kilometers away. Order the Mizuno Brigade to get there as fast as possible! And ordered the Xitian Brigade in the other direction to march towards Muniang Mountain and encircle the 424th Regiment of the Eighth Route Army together! ”

Sasaki didn't make a move, and as soon as he made a move, he ordered the two brigades to open their bows left and right and march in double lines to encircle the 424th Regiment.

As soon as the Mizuno Brigade and the Nishida Brigade, which were part of the encirclement a few kilometers away, received Sasaki's order, the two captains immediately dispatched their two squadrons to rush towards the direction of Muniangshan as fast as possible, and at the same time quickly followed up with their own large forces.

……

"Regiment commander, let the first and second battalions follow!"

Wang Shuangyin said excitedly that the attack of the third battalion now seems to be successful, and if the first and second battalions also keep up with the rhythm of the attack, it is very likely that they will complete the breakthrough in one go.

"Boom !!"

However, as soon as Wang Shuangyin's words were finished, there was a burst of cannon fire in front of him. The attack of the third battalion was stalled at that time.

"There is a brigade of devils stationed in the front, how can it be so easy to break through?"

Yue Siliang said calmly, and at the same time stretched out his hand and pointed into the distance.

"Inform the third battalion to withdraw to Mu Niangshan! One battalion covers the retreat of three battalions! Reinforcements from the devils have arrived. ”

Wang Shuangyin looked in the direction that Yue Siliang pointed, and a bright light flashed. It was the devil's truck that came with a snort!

"What is this?"

"This is the devil of Sasaki United, they have laid an encirclement a long time ago, just waiting for us to show up, and they will immediately bring people to surround them."

Yue Siliang was not extremely nervous because of the arrival of Sasaki's wing, but gave the order for the third battalion to retreat. At the same time, let the first battalion open fire at once and block the vanguard of the two squadrons of the Sasaki Wing.

It was at this time that Wang Shuangyin discovered that the second battalion did not know when, and it disappeared on the mountain!

"Commander, where did the second battalion go?"

Wang Shuangyin found that it didn't seem to be as simple as he thought, and Yue Siliang actually had other arrangements.

"After the third battalion withdrew, it immediately exchanged posts with the first battalion to be responsible for the rear. The first battalion and we carried out the transfer. The 3rd Battalion then followed us to the Shagou area north of Muniang Mountain. ”

After Yue Siliang gave this order, he immediately took Wang Shuangyin, who was still a little confused, and Di Hanming marched after the mountain, and a battalion was also divided into a company to follow them.

"Commander, what do you mean by that? Has the position of the breakout changed? You should discuss this with me first, right? Commissar, you know that, right?! ”

Walking briskly on the mountain road, Wang Shuangyin was obviously a little unemotional. Needless to say, this must be Yue Siliang directly bypassing the order he gave to Bai Lin and Liu Chuan, and according to Yue Siliang's usual style of acting, he didn't need to know it, Bai Lin and Liu Chuan definitely didn't know all of Yue Siliang's thoughts!

It was still dark, and Wang Shuangyin didn't see Di Hanming's wry smile next to him clearly. Di Hanming thought to himself: I've been following Yue Siliang for so many years, and you still don't know him as a person? On the battlefield, what does he think, who is in charge?
