When the artillery of the Japanese attack sounded again, all the soldiers on the mountain were ready for a final fight. The smoke from dozens of shells has not yet completely fallen. The Japanese troops at the foot of the mountain concentrated the forces of two squads, one frontal and the other from the flank, to launch the final blow on the hill held by Li Ziyuan.

Li Ziyuan's limited forces on the mountain almost shed the last drop of blood. The commander of the Japanese army under the mountain obviously judged quite clearly. So this time, he changed his previous tactics of attacking with puppet army squads, Japanese detachments or battle formations, supervising and cooperating. replaced the puppet army with the Japanese army, wanting to give Li Ziyuan the most fatal blow.

It cannot but be said that Yamashita, the commander of the Japanese army, judged the form of the battlefield quite accurately. After using the mixed establishment of the Japanese puppet army, and the puppet army mainly exhausted the blood of Li Ziyuan's department, he directly replaced it with the Japanese army that had been recuperating for a long time, because Li Ziyuan's stubborn resistance was actually a puppet army with no intention of fighting.

Looking at the Japanese troops with rifles behind them, light and heavy machine guns behind them, under the cover of dense firepower, charging towards the mountain. Li Ziyuan picked up the British-made rifle and shouted after a beating. The rifle in his hand was the first to fire, firing ten rounds out of the chamber with the maximum rate of fire.

Da Li beside him also fiercely pulled the trigger of the crooked machine gun in his hand. Thirty rounds of ammunition in the magazine were punched out of a sector in one go, after the ammunition was exhausted. The 38 rifle with a good bayonet rushed out with Li Ziyuan, who was the first to rush out.

At the same time as the two men rushed out, the only remaining soldiers around them also rushed out with their bayonet rifles in their hands. Li Ziyuan took the only eleven remaining soldiers around him and collided fiercely with the two Japanese squads that rushed up.

Several wounded, who had lost their combat effectiveness, glanced at each other and pulled the cluster * in their arms, in a situation where they had lost their ability to move. They helped each other roll down the hill from the top of the hill and met a Japanese squad that was outflanking them. After a loud bang, each of them more or less dragged a few Japanese soldiers to their deaths.

Originally, he wanted to use the remaining forces of Li Ziyuan's department, but he was no longer able to defend the front and flanks at the same time, so he could only put his remaining strength on the frontal opportunity. A squad of Japanese troops rushing from the flanks and preparing to flank the front and rear in the hope of ending the battle once and for all. * who were held in a cluster and died together in the arms of the wounded, the explosion was heavy casualties.

The captain of the Japanese squad who led the team obviously did not expect that this Eighth Route was so tenacious, and even the wounded took the approach of dying together. originally wanted to take advantage, but it turned out to hit his head first and broke the bloodstream. A small group of Japanese troops, most of whom were lost by a few wounded, had no choice but to retreat down the mountain after being unable to fight any longer.

Listening to the explosion from the flank, Li Ziyuan, who had tears flowing out, couldn't care about wiping away his tears. The 38-type rifle with a bayonet in his hand was flipped up and down by him. Back to back with Da Li behind him, after seeing the telescope on Li Ziyuan's chest, the few Japanese soldiers who tried to pick up the cheap ones did not please him at all.

Get close to the bayonet, and shoot directly from the distance. There is no doubt that the Japanese army has a strong ability to fight in white-knives, but what really gives full play to the Japanese army's ability in white-knuckle warfare is a set of tactics that they have developed to cooperate with each other. As long as they break up their tactical combinations, plus they also work the level of white-knuckle combat.

And the fighters who are also crazy do not hesitate to pull the bayonet as long as they are shot, and the last one prepared on their bodies *. , every soldier who sacrificed, had to take away two or three Japanese soldiers to accompany the burial. I didn't expect this Eighth Route Japanese army to be so tenacious, but it was a little caught off guard.

Coupled with the limitations of the terrain, the Japanese army had no choice but to fill the tank with superior forces, and for a time it fell into a stalemate. The combination of the shell gun and the bayonet in the hands of Li Ziyuan and the Japanese army suffered a great loss. With the addition of flank outflank troops, the future and engaging enemies were bombed and withdrawn. The Japanese troops who rushed up the mountain couldn't help Li Ziyuan for a short time.

It's just that even if Li Ziyuan can fight, no matter how good his subordinates' white-knuckle combat level is, they are still good and can't stand the wolves. Facing the Japanese army that was constantly rushing up, the soldiers around Li Ziyuan fought less and less. Moreover, the white-knuckle battle, which consumes a lot of physical strength, also makes Li Ziyuan tired, and even the gun in the back is a little unbearable.

Li Ziyuan, with his only remaining warriors, fell into the final bitter battle on the mountain. At this time, at the foot of the mountain, the commander of the 224th Infantry Wing of the 36th Division, who was holding a telescope and observing the battle situation on the mountain, Matsuyama Soyu Guardian Osa, looked at the two armies that were slammed together on the mountain.

After being silent for a long time, he said to Wang Tieshi, the captain of the pseudo-Hubei garrison beside him: "Can you be sure that person is Li Ziyuan, the Eighth Road bandit in the Ludong region?" If it's this guy, I'm not surprised. With the strength of two platoons, under my nose, I can tear through three lines of defense in a row. Under the siege of my superior forces, it is indeed worthy of its reputation to be able to hold on to this day. ”

Wang Tieshi, who had also just put down the binoculars, heard the question of this Matsuyama Chief Youemon Daisa, and after turning his head to look at a person next to him and nodded, he hurriedly said, "Your Excellency, your judgment is very correct. The guy with the binoculars is Li Ziyuan, who has repeatedly brought losses to the imperial army. My people can be sure that he is Li Ziyuan, the eight-way bandit. ”

"When my men came to this village under the guise of visiting relatives, they found that the eight roads stationed here saluted this man and called him the captain of the detachment. According to our intelligence, this so-called detachment of the Eighth Route has only one detachment leader, and no other deputy positions. So I'm sure this guy is the Li Ziyuan we've been looking for. ”

"However, I don't know very well why this Eight Roads are not poisoned. My people can assure you that there is only one well in this village. Everyone depends on this well for drinking water. Why are the villagers poisoned, and they have nothing? ”

"Your Excellency, as long as you can eliminate this guy, then it will be a lot of wins for the imperial army. It can not only solve the biggest hidden danger of public security in the entire Ludong, but also clear the eight roads in the entire Hubei. The most important thing is that you can be ashamed of the 36th Division, which will inevitably make Your Excellency the Division Commander look at you differently. ”

In response to Wang Tieshi's answer, this Matsuyama Zongyouemon Dazuo nodded slightly and said: "A strong general, if it can be used by me, your Imperial Association Army will not be such a waste." As for why there was no poisoning, it doesn't matter. The important thing is that we caught the trail of this guy and closed it down. can be for Lieutenant General Iseki and Imamura Daisa, a shame before the snow. ”

"Wang Sang, you have performed very well this time, I will report truthfully to the division headquarters and give you a great reward. You, Wang Sang, are so determined to serve the imperial army, your rights should not be limited to Hubei and Ludong. I think with Wang Sang's ability, it should be taken to the next level. ”

After giving Wang Tieshi some encouragement, the Matsuyama Soyouemon said to a lieutenant beside him: "Tell the troops in front to press two more infantry squads." Remember, I'm going to live that Li Ziyuan. As for the other Eight Paths, I don't want to see any of the captives. ”

Hearing Matsuyama Soyouke Emon Daisa's order, the lieutenant immediately turned around and went to deliver the order. At this time, after a hard battle on the mountain, the Japanese troops who rushed up the mountain were pressed down again. But after the Japanese army was repulsed again, there were only three soldiers left by Li Ziyuan's side, including Da Li.

Moreover, Li Ziyuan was stabbed three times with a bayonet on his arms and legs, and even on his head. Especially the penetrating wound on his left leg, which made Li Ziyuan unable to stand up. A bayonet was cut on his head, and blood flowed out of his face, making Li Ziyuan look a little hideous at this time.

Seeing that the Japanese army under the mountain was adjusting their deployment and preparing to launch a final attack, Li Ziyuan, who knew that he had reached the last moment, took off the document bag on his body and the Browning pistol in his trouser pocket, as well as the binoculars on his body, and said to Da Li beside him: "You guys, immediately smash the excess weapons, and then go back to the village from the back mountain, and temporarily fortify the wall first." ”

"Right now, the devil's attention is here, and the village should be safe now. After the devils retreat, if you want to go back to the army, you will return to the army, and if you are not willing to return to the army, you will take off your military uniform and go home to farm. But there is one thing you remember for Lao Tzu, if anyone is a traitor, Lao Tzu will not be able to spare him even if he is a ghost. ”

Hearing Li Ziyuan's order, Da Li and the only two remaining fighters were stunned. But then they all shook their heads firmly, especially Da Li cried and said, "Detachment leader, we have to go together, or we will all stay." We can't leave you here alone, or we won't be looking up for the rest of our lives. You can't leave your brother behind, and we can't leave our own chief. ”

The other two fighters were even more straightforward, and they came up directly to hold Li Ziyuan. Regarding Da Li's answer, and the soldiers who rushed up to prepare to help him, Li Ziyuan took out a gun and pointed it at a few people: "Lao Tzu's legs are like this now, if you take Lao Tzu with you, no one can go." ”

"You guys, don't fucking let me be a prisoner. If you still think that Lao Tzu is your chief, obey the order and get rid of Lao Tzu immediately. There is also that document package, which must be handed over to the military division in its entirety, and must not fall into the hands of devils. Remember, you all give Lao Tzu a good life. ”

Seeing Li Ziyuan take out a gun, Da Li shook his head and said, "Chief, don't scare me with a gun." I was specially trained in the security department of the military district, and it was a breeze to surrender your gun. Even if you shoot now, I won't leave. I am your guard, and it is my responsibility to keep my chief safe, and I will not lose my chief under any circumstances. ”

In response to Da Li's answer, Li Ziyuan shook his head, broke the nose of the fast and slow machine in his hand, and after hitting the ground in front of Da Li, he said to Da Li and the two soldiers: "Your kid's fucking wings are hard, dare to surrender Lao Tzu's weapon." Tell you Da Li, Lao Tzu has never been disarmed in his life. ”

"Don't be delusional, don't let Lao Tzu get out of his mind immediately, don't let Lao Tzu be unhappy when he dies. You all let Lao Tzu go, no matter how much you grind, no one can go. The army needs you veterans now, and if you all die here, how will the army recover? ”

"If you don't obey orders, I'll shoot you right now. What are you two still doing in a daze, giving Lao Tzu the bastard Da Li away. Remember that you are soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, and the first of the three disciplines and eight points of attention is to obey the command in all actions. Now the three of you listen to the order, and immediately and immediately get out of the way. Do you have to die in front of you for you to be willing? ”
