The Japanese puppet army suddenly appeared at the position of its headquarters, and the troops stationed around the headquarters did not raise a warning, nor did they rush to reinforce immediately after the gunshots rang out. Thinking of the poisoning incident of the villagers that happened today, this made Li Ziyuan's back chill for a while.

So many villagers were poisoned almost at the same time, which can only indicate that there are spies who have infiltrated the village. In the case that it is impossible for every household to be poisoned, the cause of this large-scale poisoning can only be explained by the poisoning of the water source. The troops were not poisoned because the troops did not use wells, but water from the springs in the back.

If the Japanese puppet spies could poison the well in this village under their noses. Then it may not be possible to do the same thing in other villages where troops are stationed. And judging from the fact that there was only a short hour between the discovery of a villager being poisoned and the death, the poison cast by the devil was very toxic.

If this were the case with the troops stationed in other villages, the losses would have been too great. Grandma's, I'm too careless. I thought that the devil might take advantage of the Spring Festival to sneak attack, but I didn't expect that the devil would send someone to poison the well.

At present, the devil can actually bypass the troops defending in front of him and feel the depth of his entire defense deployment, what is the situation of the surrounding troops at the moment, and whether they are poisoned or not. Li Ziyuan, who never thought that the devil would use such a trivial method, was somewhat anxious.

The poison shown by the devil this time made Li Ziyuan's back chill for a while. If the surrounding troops are also poisoned, let alone fighting with the devils, even if the devils rush to the opposite side of them, I am afraid they will not have the strength to resist. Grandma's, I was really careless this time.

It's just that at the moment, it is not possible to find out what kind of poison the Japanese puppet army threw into the well, and how many troops were also poisoned. Li Ziyuan could only muster up his spirit and gather the troops together. At least resist until it gets dark before you can find a way to break through.

Li Ziyuan concentrated two machine guns and desperately resisted relying on the terrain. Trying to cover the few villagers who were not poisoned, but were reluctant to have a little belongings in their homes, they rushed to stand out as soon as possible before the devils completed the encirclement. However, the speed of the surrounding Japanese puppet army still exceeded Li Ziyuan's judgment.

Most of the villagers who had not been poisoned had just withdrawn from the village, and the Japanese puppet army from the north had already rushed into the village. After rushing into the village, the Japanese soldiers saw the villagers lying on the ground and even poisoning their families, and they did not have any mercy, and went down with a bayonet.

Facing the Japanese soldiers rushing in front of them with bayonets, the poisoned villagers had no ability to resist or escape. Even if he did not die from the onset of poison, he could not escape the bayonets of the Japanese army. One by one, the Japanese soldiers sneered and stabbed the bayonets on their rifles into the chests of the villagers who were no longer able to resist.

Even the villagers who had died, these Japanese soldiers did not forget to make up for the bayonets, so that no one would pretend to be dead and escape. A small number of villagers who were not poisoned, but because they were reluctant to carry their belongings, the transfer was slightly slower and the Japanese army blocked them back into the village. They were also tied up by the Japanese army one by one and used bayonets to pick them to death one by one.

Looking at the tragic situation in the village under the mountain, the villagers who beat gongs and drums to deliver New Year's goods to themselves yesterday either died of poisoning, or were slaughtered by devils like this, Li Ziyuan's teeth were about to be crushed but there was nothing he could do. The rest of the scattered troops, what is the current situation is not known.

He didn't have any ability to fight back against at least five or six hundred puppet troops who came over. At present, it is already the limit to be able to save the more than 100 ordinary people who rushed up the mountain with him, and to cover them to stand out. As for fighting back in the village, he doesn't have any ability at the moment.

Li Ziyuan looked at the mountain with a blue face and did not speak, while the small number of unpoisoned villagers who had withdrawn from the village around him, looking at the villagers and relatives who got along day and night, died tragically under the bayonets of the Japanese army, and their homes were set on fire by the devils.

Li Ziyuan, who knew that he couldn't stay here for a long time, knew that it was impossible for him to wait until it was completely dark. The Japanese puppet army that appeared inside and outside the village was rapidly moving towards the hill where they were. The Japanese artillery fire also began to shift to this side one after another.

When other Japanese puppet troops around him arrive, he will have no chance to stand out under the situation that he still has to break through with so many ordinary people. It doesn't matter if you die in battle, but these villagers who rushed out are the roots of this village, and you can't let them be slaughtered no matter what.

Pulling out the fast and slow machine in the holster and removing the magazine, Li Ziyuan looked at the number of bullets inside, then inserted the magazine back behind the gun, broke the nose and inserted it into the belt. Then he gave the British Enfield rifle in his hand, and pressed ten rounds into the magazine and picked up the British rifle.

After preparing for the battle, Li Ziyuan gritted his teeth and turned to He Sanliang and said: "Tell the troops, give Lao Tzu all the bayonets, unscrew the safety covers, and concentrate the troops to break through to the west." You and I each take a platoon and spread out along the wings, opening a passage outward. Tell the soldiers that even if the troops are all gone, they must also cover the villagers to stand out first. ”

He Sanliang, who also knew that the situation was urgent, did not argue with Li Ziyuan. With a platoon assigned to him, he took the lead in touching the west. Although things came out quite hastily, He Sanliang did not lose his judgment. He knew that the west, east, and north sides where the guns were fired at the moment could break through, but the south, which was the calmest at the moment, must not be chosen.

According to common sense, the best direction to break through is to the east and south. But at this time, the Huguan side in the south is the only place where there is no gun, and it is strange that there is no weirdness in it. You must know that the terrain of Huguan is much more precipitous than that of Hubei, and if you can break through to the territory of Huguan, then it will be difficult for the Japanese army to catch up with you.

From a topographical point of view, the south is the best route to break out on your own. If the little devils don't leave a hand in that direction, then they are not little devils. There are not many troops in his hands, once he is ambushed by the devils, let alone covering the villagers to break through, even he is difficult to protect. Li Ziyuan chose the direction of the breakthrough, He Sanliang understood his intention after a little pondering.

He Sanliang, who judged very clearly, did not say anything about Li Ziyuan's choice to break through to the west, but he made firm support with his actions. At the same time, in order to create conditions for Li Ziyuan to break through, he attracted as many Japanese puppet troops as possible to his side. He Sanliang even led his troops to act first and rushed to the northwest first.

Seeing He Sanliang rushing out first, Li Ziyuan, who immediately understood He Sanliang's intentions, hurriedly rushed out with his troops. Looking at He Sanliang's back, knowing that this breakthrough was almost a life-and-death Li Ziyuan, he knew that it would be difficult to see each other again, but Li Ziyuan had no other choice.

At present, there is only He Sanliang, a military cadre around, but at this time, he can only make this decision head-on, because for He Sanliang at this time, there is really no other choice now. There were only two platoons of troops around him, and apart from the two platoon commanders, there was not even a single company-level cadre.

Early this morning, Ma Yongcheng took a few people from the detachment headquarters to the troops below, but they have not come back yet, and they don't even know whether they are alive or dead. The rest of the troops were formed in companies and were scattered in various villages. His detachment is a grass platform team.

Except for him, the military commander, and He Sanliang, the only staff officer, there are no military cadres. Even Ma Yongcheng's political office, in addition to him, the deputy political commissar and director, there are only two officers. Under the circumstance that all company commanders followed their own troops and were scattered and stationed on the periphery, He Sanliang, the only staff officer, became Li Ziyuan's only choice.

After He Sanliang set off with a platoon, Li Ziyuan turned his head, looked at Liu Yanlai and Chang Juan, who also had serious expressions on their faces, and said, "The two of you only have a few militiamen who have not been poisoned to cover the villagers on the mountain. As soon as we opened the gap, we immediately broke through to the northwest to find the local committee. ”

"After rushing out, no matter what happens on our side, don't look back. Remember that it is the most important task for the two of you to take the villagers to stand out. Remember, you must not go in any other direction than to retreat to the northwest, let alone turn back. ”

After a simple explanation, Liu Yanlai and Chang Juan came, and Li Ziyuan didn't care what he was saying. A platoon with the guns loaded and bayonets loaded and the back cover of the * unscrewed, rushed to the west. And behind him, Liu Yanlai and Chang Juan followed behind them with the villagers.

But this time Li Ziyuan's luck was quite bad, and he encountered a Japanese puppet army as soon as he got off the mountain. At this moment, when the enemy meets, it can be said that he is very angry. Li Ziyuan, who was quick and quick-eyed, took the lead in knocking down a machine gunner who was about to set up a machine gun. Then the fighters beside him were also beaten in the face*.

Taking advantage of the cover of the * explosion, he picked up the rifle with the bayonet on it and rushed forward. And the only two light machine guns in this platoon did not take into account the consumption of ammunition at all. When they came up, they took alternate shots, covering the charge of the troops, and suppressing the Japanese puppet army on the opposite side.

As soon as the two armies came into contact, Li Ziyuan did not have the slightest politeness. With the fastest rate of fire, he turned the British rifle in his hand, which had exhausted the ten rounds in the magazine, and leaned it diagonally on his shoulder. After throwing out a *, the fast and slow machine that directly pulled out the belt was a flat shot, and the Japanese puppet army that was being gathered was scattered again.

Li Ziyuan's two guns were used in turns, and the soldiers around him were also trained according to weekdays. With the squad as the formation,* plus rifle volleys, desperately firing at the Japanese puppet army. And the two guards beside Li Ziyuan also fired alternately with shell guns in their hands. On the one hand, he protected Li Ziyuan to the death, and on the other hand, he constantly scattered the Japanese puppet army.

More than 30 puppet troops under the supervision of more than 10 Japanese troops on the opposite side were beaten by the platoon led by Li Ziyuan, which looked like a mad tiger. The puppet army that had been beaten for more than 50 days was driven out of the southwest direction in one breath by Li Ziyuan's seemingly lifeless fighting style.

Driving away the Japanese puppet army in front of you does not mean that the passage to break through is completely opened. defeated this Japanese puppet army, Li Ziyuan knew that he was only tearing open the first gap. After driving away this Japanese puppet army, Li Ziyuan commanded the troops to rush towards the deep cordon of the Japanese puppet army, regardless of casualties. As long as it is intercepted by the Japanese puppet army, it will be * plus machine gun entertainment.
