After killing a Japanese brigade headquarters in Xia Chen, they immediately approached the side of Phoenix Ridge, a large force of their own army, because the Japanese army from Sixi had already arrived.

After all, the men and horses of a brigade of the Japanese army were not a small number for the entire wing and division, and the Japanese troops on this side of Sixi soon marched to Fenghuangling to meet and reinforce the third brigade of the 217th Wing of the Japanese army.

It's just that the 217th Wing of the Japanese Army didn't expect that the Third Brigade would lose Phoenix Ridge so quickly, and the combat power of a Japanese brigade on the Chinese battlefield can be equivalent to that of a division in the middle of the world.

If it is to occupy a favorable terrain for defense, a brigade will defend to the death, and it is estimated that a division in the middle ** will not be able to defeat it for a few days, but this Phoenix Ridge will only be lost in half a night.

This was unexpected by the 217th Wing, but Phoenix Ridge is the last barrier to the west of Sixi, and now the official bridge north of Sixi is being held by the Chinese **, and the 33rd Division can't come over, and Phoenix Ridge here is going to be lost again, wouldn't it be the life of the 34th Division.

Therefore, the 217th Wing immediately sent a squadron to pick up and rescue the third brigade, which ran into Xia Chen's platoon.

Xia Chen and they could have slipped away earlier, but they delayed a little time in dealing with Tanaka Shaosa, and now even if they retreat quickly, they are still bitten by the Japanese army.

But Xia Chen was not afraid at all, because behind him was the entire third battalion, but there was one thing that was more worried, that is, there was a serious lack of ammunition.

Just now, because of the pursuit of the Japanese officers, there was no time to replenish the ammunition, and the extra things on their bodies were lost, and the machine gunners and grenadiers all rushed to the Phoenix Ridge with rifles and stabbed the Japanese soldiers.

Now the most important weapon in the infantry platoon in Xia Chen's hand is the rifle, and many people have lost a lot of bayonets, all of which are bent and broken, and the rifle bullets are only a dozen rounds per person.

Faced with this situation, Xia Chen immediately decided that he could not touch the reinforcements of the Japanese army, and he did not just care about escaping, but guerrilla, while preserving himself, while containing the Japanese army, while waiting for the third battalion to come to the rescue, and even to open up the results.

After crossing the Phoenix Ridge, it is the boundary of Sixi, thinking that the third battalion will come over and go straight to the Japanese headquarters in Sixi, and then it will not be a devil who will be killed, it is very enjoyable, Xia Chen is much more energetic.

The squadron leader of the Japanese squadron just thought that the squadron would come over so quickly, and he was taken aback, and immediately deployed his troops, attacking and advancing while defending.

When they saw that it was only a small team of more than a dozen guns, the devil didn't think so, it was estimated that it was a search team or something, so there was nothing to be afraid of, and it was not enough to waste time.

So the leader of the devil squadron left only one squad of people to deal with Xia Chen and contain them, and the rest of the main forces all continued to search and attack on Phoenix Ridge.

If they follow this trajectory, everything is normal, Xia Chen and they should be able to wait for the third battalion to come over, or they can easily get rid of the entanglement of a class of devils.

But by chance, there was one thing that made the whole thing change qualitatively, that is, the devil reinforcements found the corpse of Tanaka, and the corpse of the entire command personnel of the third brigade was found in the periphery.

This made the Japanese reinforcement squadron immediately change its attention, very simply, the entire command system of the third brigade was devastated, and it should have been attacked and attacked by the powerful main force.

Now Phoenix Ridge must have been lost, it is estimated that the entire Third Brigade has been devastated, and now that a squadron of them goes to Phoenix Ridge, not only can they not take back Phoenix Ridge, they can't save the Third Brigade, but it is estimated that they will even get into it.

It is conceivable that not a single brigade can hold on, and the entire command system has been destroyed.

The captain of the devil squadron realized the seriousness of the situation and immediately made a change, and the whole team turned to a defensive retreat, and at the same time, avenged Tanaka Shaozo and captured the search team of the Chongqing army.

There is also another meaning, that is, to arrest or kill this team to explain to the superiors, not that he did not go to Phoenix Ridge to rescue the third brigade, but that he had to do it.

Therefore, while the Japanese squadron collected the corpses of the personnel of the command of the 3rd Brigade, it reorganized its forces and surrounded them in a roundabout way.

So Xia Chen's group of about 20 people in the seventh company and second platoon, and finally retreated to the edge of a small village called the Chen family at the bottom of the Phoenix Ridge and was surrounded.

Everyone retreated to a small hill, seized a small high ground, and used some tree trunks and grave mounds as supports, and used accurate cold guns against the Japanese army to stop the devils.

In order to achieve a quick victory, the Japanese army threw grenades and fired grenades, and the dense bullets of light machine guns broke the grass on the hill.

There were no ready-made trenches here, and now it was too late to dig and there were no tools to dig them, and the fighters of the second platoon, under the heavy blows of the enemy, suffered quick and heavy losses.

The encirclement of the devil came up quickly, and now there was only one squad of people left in the second platoon, without grenades, and now that I think about it, it was really a mistake, Xia Chen was very annoyed and remorseful.

But the top priority now is to slow down the upward siege of the Japanese army, otherwise, when all the devils are killed, everyone will be unable to escape, and the whole army will be annihilated.

Xia Chen thought of breaking through, but it was impossible, only a few bullets from the rifle, and without the opening of the machine gun burst weapon, there was no way to kill a bloody way, and now as long as he stood up, he would definitely die.

But now the situation is already very critical, if the third battalion doesn't rush over, the entire second platoon will really be gone, Xia Chen's heart is burning, but he has no better ideas.

Seeing that the Japanese army had already pounced in front of him, Xia Chen roared, and with the last dozen or so brothers, he pounced on the enemy, thinking that even if he died, he would have to pull a few devils to back his back, and it would be worth killing a few in the end.

Only in this way can we avoid the superior firepower suppression of the Japanese army, and in this way, the Japanese army will automatically stop the gun attack and fight with Xia Chen.

The number of Japanese troops was too much, at least one squad of men came to besiege Xia Chen and their ten or so people, and after a while, five or six fell in the second platoon, and only seven or eight people remained.

Xia Chen was covered in blood, I don't know how many knives I have been stabbed by the devil, and I don't know where I have been stabbed, as long as I am not dead, I have not fallen, and I can still stand, then I will continue to kill.

When the third devil was smashed by Xia Chen with a tattered rifle butt, Xia Chen couldn't hold on anymore, and suddenly felt that he no longer had severe pain, but floated up lightly and fell down on his back.

The moment he finally lay down, Xia Chen saw that he was the only one left on the battlefield, and he still regretted very much that he didn't bring a glorious bullet with him, otherwise he could have sounded at this time and killed a few more devils.

The body fell, but the pleasant sound of the charge horn could still be heard in my ears, and the rush of the brothers shouted, goodbye! Brothers! In the next life, we will kill devils side by side.

Xia Chen closed his eyes unwillingly. Fupin Chinese
