Faced with a critical situation, Li Ziyuan, who didn't dare to really throw these slow people in the encirclement of devils. can only take the troops around him and rush into the encirclement of the Japanese army again. Concentrate all the machine-gun fire and a few grenades, taking advantage of the fact that the main forces of the Japanese have not yet rushed up.

This Japanese army rushing up the mountain through a crack was only a small force, and the opportunity for the strength and firepower to be not strong was to tear a gap in the encirclement of the Japanese army. This group of senior cadres and a group of staff members of the Northern Bureau around him were snatched out from under the bayonets of the Japanese army.

It's just that in the face of the Japanese army that is biting to the death, Li Ziyuan's actions to protect most of these non-combatants who are very poor in physical fitness and can't run, but it is extremely difficult. At this time, the personnel with good physical fitness and combat experience had already rushed out. The rest of the people who have not rushed out yet, the actual situation can be imagined.

After deploying the troops to block the Japanese troops who were charging towards the mountain, Li Ziyuan turned back and saw the secretary general of the Northern Bureau who was sitting on the stone with poor physical fitness and panting, and when he saw himself as a party school student, he shook his head and said: "Li Ziyuan, I really can't run." You give me a grenade, and the rest will be handed over to you, and you must rush out. ”

Li Ziyuan, who ignored the words of the secretary general, ignored him directly. Directly dragged a horse that the groom didn't know where he had gotten and was skewering around. He dragged down several sacks of southern Hebei banknotes on horseback, and the guards with the secretary general pushed the secretary general onto the horse.

Li Ziyuan, who dragged the horse's head, said to the chief's guard: "You are a fucking waste material, the chief is not in good health and can't run, there are so many horses carrying materials on this mountain, you don't know how to drag a horse over?" The terrain is a bit rough here, and you won't be guarding a little on the side? Hurry up and break through to the northwest with the chief, and rush through the mountain pass on the opposite side to be almost safe. ”

"I'll gather the rest of the personnel for you, and it's your duty to protect the chief. Hurry up, don't worry about anything else, and rush in the northwest direction is victory. You fucking get out of here, Lao Tzu's soldiers are not dead yet, and it is not your turn to go to war like intellectuals. ”

Li Ziyuan's last sentence was almost roaring, and the secretary general of the Northern Bureau, who was frightened by the almost hideous expression on the face of the angry Li Ziyuan, hesitated for a moment and said: "Comrade Li Ziyuan, then I will hand over these hundreds of people to you." These people are all valuable talents of the party, and you must bring them out. ”

Another chief's advice, Li Ziyuan, who was already numb to such words, just nodded calmly. It wasn't until the secretary general rushed out that Li Ziyuan realized why the division leader was so heavy when he explained his words when he was about to leave.

At present, they have not rushed out, and the people who remain in the encirclement can be described as old, weak, sick and disabled. Among them, there are young people, wounded and female soldiers, and Li Ziyuan has the most headache for a few pregnant women. The sources of personnel are even more scattered, the personnel of the organs and headquarters of the Northern Bureau, the students of Lu Yi, the Party School and other schools, as well as the female soldiers of the theater troupe and the art troupe.

That is to say, among the people who have not yet rushed out, basically all the non-combat departments of the entire organ have been captured. But there was only one thing that didn't, and that was that there was basically not a single combat unit in it, except for a dozen or so members of the guard unit who had been scattered.

What made Li Ziyuan's scalp explode the most was that a staff member of the Northern Bureau who had fallen behind told him that the wife of the deputy commander-in-chief was also blocked here at the moment, and she hadn't had time to rush out yet. In addition, he also met the wife of the vice president and deputy political commissar of Kang Da General University, as well as the wives of many senior cadres.

Seeing the actual situation of these people he had gathered, Li Ziyuan didn't know if he should cry. The vast majority of these people were unarmed, except for a few handfuls of suicide grenades that had been brought in from the troops. All the weapons combined, there were only a dozen pistols with few bullets, and a dozen rifles with no bullets.

Just such a small weapon, for increasing one's own combat effectiveness, is basically equivalent to nothing. After looking at a few directions, the breakthrough that had been closed by the swarming Japanese troops again, or after adjusting the firepower configuration, the breakthrough blocked by firepower again, plus the few planes in the sky that were always hovering above his head, Li Ziyuan couldn't help but have a headache.

The Japanese moved at a very fast pace, after the secretary general of the Northern Bureau, escorted by the guards, rushed out of the northwestern pass. The only way to survive was blocked by several heavy machine guns and several mortars of the Japanese troops on the opposite ridge. And a squadron of the Japanese army, which had already made a detour back to the foot of the northwest mountain, was also charging towards the mountain with the cooperation of the puppet army.

With this group of non-combatants in this situation, through the Japanese fire blockade line. According to Li Ziyuan's judgment, through the distance of a few hundred meters, it is estimated that there will be one-third of these people left, and he should laugh secretly. The most important thing is that the Japanese army, which is feinting, does not care about blocking the attack at all, and is outflanking the attack in many roundabouts.

A Japanese army has approached this side less than 300 meters away, and if it forcibly breaks through, it is likely to be broken up again. If these old, weak, sick and disabled people really had the ability to quickly pass through the line of fire, they would have followed the deputy commander-in-chief to stand out together, why are they still left in the encirclement now? So after hesitating for a while, Li Ziyuan still gave up the idea of immediately forcibly breaking through.

For Li Ziyuan, who is in a predicament at the moment, among all the unfavorable factors at the moment, the only slightly better news is that the time is now five o'clock in the afternoon. In other words, if you insist on it for two hours, you can basically wait until it gets dark.

And waiting until after dark to break through may avoid greater losses. At least after dark, the Japanese army would not be so unscrupulous and throw in troops regardless of the terrain restrictions. This kind of night battle in the mountains, unless it is the most critical time, the Japanese army is also unwilling to fight.

After taking these personnel who had no combat effectiveness at all to a hidden place to avoid the planes in the sky that the Japanese had not yet withdrawn, and the Japanese artillery that kept firing at the bottom of the mountain, Li Ziyuan held a telescope to observe everywhere. It's just that everything in front of him made Li Ziyuan gasp. Around the hill where he was, there were Japanese puppet troops like locusts everywhere.

Li Ziyuan's limited forces at hand could not control the entire Cross Ridge at all. In addition to the hundreds of non-combatants under their own protection, on the other side of the Cross Ridge, there were already a number of prisoners who had fallen behind because they were scattered by Japanese artillery fire or because of lack of physical strength. The Japanese puppet army who was washed up the mountain was searched out of the hidden place and was escorted down the mountain.

These men did not even have a suicide pistol in their hands, and they were almost defenseless in the face of the onrushing Japanese troops. In the face of the Japanese army searching the mountains, there was no way to even commit suicide except to be a prisoner. Although the area of Cross Ridge is not small, there are not many places where the Japanese army can hide from being found by the dragnet search mountain.

Li Ziyuan was in the telescope and saw that among the captured personnel, there was actually the director of the political department of the logistics department of the headquarters. Among the prisoners were a small number of female soldiers and staff of the Logistics Department at Headquarters. Seeing the smiling Japanese soldiers and escorting them down the mountain, the corners of Li Ziyuan's eyes cracked.

But Li Ziyuan, who only has more than one company of troops in his hands at the moment, was directly stabbed to death and could not do anything in the face of the wounded who were being pushed down the mountain by the Japanese army and the prisoners. At present, the number of people he needs to cover is far more than the number of people who have been searched by the Japanese army. If he rushes down, then the four or five hundred people around him will have no soldiers to save.

Just when Li Ziyuan could only watch the captured people who were escorted down from the northeast of the Cross Ridge being taken down from the mountain by the Japanese army, he was helpless at the moment. A scene that broke everyone's hearts appeared in his telescope.

On the way down the mountain by the Japanese army, when he passed a cliff dozens of meters high. After more than a dozen prisoners, it was probably because they were women and they had no weapons on them, so it was impossible to pose any threat to the Japanese army. So the female soldier, who was not tied up with a rope, suddenly jumped down from this almost cliff.

Jumping off the cliff, none of the dozen or so female soldiers who were in the mood for love survived, leaving only a pile of corpses under the cliff. The actions of these dozen or so female soldiers with strong personalities who would rather commit suicide and die than be humiliated stunned everyone on the Cross Ridge.

More than a dozen male soldiers who were firmly tied by the Japanese army with ropes, under the leadership of the director of the Political Department of the Logistics Department, followed the idea of jumping off the cliff to commit suicide, but were caught by the Japanese army. After some fighting, more than a dozen captured male soldiers were killed by the Japanese army with bayonets on the spot, and the rest were escorted down the mountain after several struggles.

Put down the binoculars in his hand, not daring to look at Li Ziyuan over there. Listening to the suppressed cry of the timid female soldier behind him, he turned his head and smiled bitterly at the female soldier next to him, as well as the intellectual: "As long as you obey my orders and can do what you order, I promise to send you out." But the most important thing we need to do now is to look for opportunities. ”

After that, Li Ziyuan asked the people behind him: "I need combat soldiers now, if any of you have ever fought for me, I can use a gun." For the rest, go and destroy the documents that are still with you, and burn all the papers you can find around you. ”

It's just that for Li Ziyuan's inquiry, none of them stood up. On the contrary, it was the destruction of people who could still find the documents, but a large group went out. Getting this answer, Li Ziyuan could only smile bitterly and shake his head. Yes, if it was a veteran who had fought in the war, he would have found an opportunity to rush out a long time ago.

The rest of these talents, the headquarters has always been regarded as a baby, where will they go to war? The vast majority of them were armed not with bullets and rifles, but with pens, paper, and cameras. Let these people go to war, it is better to let them go to death. A third of these people can shoot, which is pretty good.

Knowing that he could only rely on his own Li Ziyuan at the moment, he kept calculating in his head what he should do next, how to bring the hundreds of female soldiers, Xiucai, and even the staff of the South Hebei Bank out of this death zone under the heavy siege of the surrounding Japanese army.

Just when those people gathered together the documents scattered on the hillside without taking them out, and were about to light a fire, they were stopped. Tell them not to burn the pile of documents that are almost several meters high, and wait for his order when to burn.
