The surface of the Surabaya River is too narrow, and the route of the river is very long, so it is impossible to hold it at all, even if the Japanese army and you cross the river to the same point, it is difficult to hold it.

The main purpose of Sangou here is not to defend one place, but to find out where the core forces of the Japanese army are in the movement war by fighting with the Japanese army, and finally taking advantage of the chaos, penetrating deeply, and taking the head of the general in the army, which is the ultimate goal of Sangou.

Therefore, when the Japanese army now uses heavy machine gun fire to attack again, Sangou did not use the mortars in the village of Tombs, because at night, there were no bamboo poles, and the accuracy of the mortars' night shooting was greatly reduced.

Second, once the mortar sounds, the Japanese army will immediately judge that there are at least battalion-level units or above the Chinese army here, and they will immediately increase their troops.

Not only could they not hold it, but it was difficult to retreat, so Sangou took advantage of the fact that the Seventh Company and the devils threw grenades at each other on the river, and gave the order to go down.

Let the 7th Company abandon its position one by one, cover everyone to approach Shanbei Village in the northwest, and get close to the 2nd Battalion of the 58th Division's Field Supplement Regiment.

After Wu Dingli received the order, he saw that Zhu Dayong and Wang Weidong had also begun to withdraw, so he took two platoons of the Seventh Company, and after throwing a row of grenades at the end, he also quickly withdrew from the embankment position on the bank of the Surabaya River.

After withdrawing a few hundred meters, Zhu Dayong's troops of the Ninth Company set up a simple position on the side of the road, replacing the Seventh Company as the final echelon.

However, the Japanese army only occupied the village of Fenkou, and did not catch up quickly, and when they saw that the Chinese army was withdrawing in the northwest direction, they did not hold on tightly, but occupied the main road at the edge of the village and guarded it.

It can be seen that the current Japanese army is not mainly to consume the Chinese army, but more to implement the tactical idea of advancing forward and allowing the large army to break through as soon as possible.

Sangou is not in a hurry to duel with the Japanese army, and now he has only one company of men under his command, so he can't duel with the large army of the Japanese army, and rashly attacking or defending to the death will become a piece of cake for the Japanese 34th Division.

When the Japanese saw that a gap had opened in the Surabaya River at the edge of the village, a large number of troops immediately rushed over to this side, and at the same time, the troops were divided into several routes, and the troops in Liujia Village to the north continued to attack.

The Japanese troops who crossed the Surabaya River were also divided into two routes, one way along the Surabaya River to the north, to the direction of Liujia Village to flank the Chinese defenders in Liujia Village, together with the Japanese troops on the North Road, and the two roads flanked the Chinese defenders in Liujia Village.

On the other hand, along the main road on the edge of the tomb village, immediately went north, attacking in the direction of Guanqiao, and did not pursue a small group of troops like Sangou.

At this time, Xiucai and them, who were looking for Sangou from Sixi to the north, were blocked by the Japanese army in the south of Fenkou Village, and Xiucai collected part of the three battalions of troops in Sixi.

Including the men of the two platoons of Chen Yanxin and Luo Xian of the Eighth Company, the two platoons of Tao Wei and Liu Sole of the Ninth Company, and the main force of the machine gun company, adding up to almost two companies of people.

Xiucai concurrently served as the commander of an infantry company temporarily composed of four platoons of the Eighth Company and the Ninth Company, and Zhugan continued to command the machine gun company (missing a platoon from Wang Weidong). At the same time, it was under the unified command of Xiucai, deputy commander of the third battalion.

The personnel of the machine gun company were relatively neat, and there were four platoons in the eighth and ninth companies, and almost every platoon lost more than half of them, and this temporary infantry company only had two or three platoons of people, that is, the number of people in the early hundreds.

While leading everyone to search and advance in the direction of Guanqiao, Xiucai sent a herald to find the headquarters of the 152nd Regiment and told Commander Liu that the main force of the third battalion was now attacking in the direction of Guanqiao.

Due to the unclear information on the road ahead, and a large number of Japanese troops in Fenkou Village, cutting off the road from Sixi to Guanqiao, Xiucai knew that these soldiers under him were now very tired and had been fighting for several days.

In addition, it is not replenished with weapons and ammunition in time, and it is indeed a very unwise choice to attack a large number of enemy camps with such a tired and ammunition-poor army.

If it is in Sixi, it is very likely to kill it, after all, there are many brother units of the Chinese army there, and there is a steady stream of food and ammunition replenishment.

In addition, the current Japanese army in Sixi is like a frightened bird, and it will scatter at the slightest contact, leaving only a very small part of the broken rear troops to occupy a few points.

But now it is completely different, Xiucai's troops are already far away from the large army and fighting in the rear, there is no timely replenishment of food and ammunition, and in the face of the Japanese army in front of which is neat and unflustered, it is definitely impossible to attack rashly.

The troops had to be told to stop for a while, and several groups were sent to search and search for the three dogs in several directions to the north and northwest.

However, the Japanese army also reconnoitred Xiucai and their troops in the south of Tomb Village, but both sides did not attack, and they were safe.

The atmosphere is a little weird, and Sangou is also here, in the forward position of Shanbei Village in the northwest direction, the search team sent by Sangou has already made contact with the second battalion of the field supplement regiment of the 58th Division.

The 58th Division's Field Supplement Regiment learned that the Japanese army had broken through the village section of the Surabaya River and was now attacking to the north, and immediately ordered the whole regiment to guard the strongholds south of Guanqiao and prepare for battle.

In the early morning of 26 March, the 1st Brigade of the 218th Wing, the forward unit of the 34th Division of the Japanese Army, took the lead in attacking the position of the defending 58th Division south of Guanqiao, and the Field Supplement Regiment of the 58th Division also rose up to fight back.

For a while, all kinds of machine guns and grenadiers kept greeting each other, and in the dark night with a long drizzle, the bullets of the machine guns connected the positions on both sides like red lines.

Grenades exploded like fireworks on the ground, constantly exploding, like flowers of hell, blooming in this suffering world, demanding one life after another.

Sangou has now made up his mind, if he doesn't take their people to participate in the confrontation of this kind of large army, sending them in will only increase the number of casualties in the battle report, and there is almost no meaning.

What's more, the third battalion is not a unit under the 58th Division, and the field supplement regiment did not arrange for the three dogs to assist in the defense, and the three dogs are in the northwest of Shanbei Village, near Hongqiao, and wait and see what happens.

Like Sangou, Xiucai also constantly sent search troops, and finally asked Sangou where they were hiding in the back of the mountain, and immediately led the troops towards the northwest defense line, bypassing the Japanese army, and meeting Sangou in Shanbei Village.

When Sangou saw the other fighters of the three battalions, he immediately told them to rest on the spot, and the platoon leader went to the company that Sangou had formed temporarily to receive some food and ammunition.

In fact, this rest is also very short, and now the dawn is about to pass, but it is due to the current weather, and the sky has been dark.

Sangou knew that after dawn, there would be a big battle in this area, especially in the south of Guanqiao, and the Japanese planes would also come back to drop bombs and strafe, so they had to pull the troops to a safe place, and they had to have the opportunity to penetrate deep into the relatively empty ribs of the Japanese army.

Xiucai and Sangou have little chance and time to rest, and have been studying the map of this area and the dynamics of the forces of both the enemy and the enemy.
