Li Ziyuan, who knew that he didn't have much time left for him, and was eager to open a way to break through for the more than 100 ineffective villagers behind him, did not care about the consumption of ammunition at all. Command this platoon beside you, and fight and rush along the way. Everything is based on opening a breakthrough channel for fellow villagers in the shortest possible time.

And at the same time that Li Ziyuan encountered the Japanese puppet army, dense explosions and gunfire also sounded on He Sanliang's side. It's just that compared to Li Ziyuan's side, the gunfire over there is much denser. Not only the sound of Jin or miscellaneous light machine guns used by the puppet army, but also the Japanese army's Type 92 heavy machine guns also participated.

The more intensive gunfire on He Sanliang's side made Li Ziyuan's heart ache for a while. He Sanliang's side was the main offensive direction of the Japanese puppet army, and the troops in He Sanliang's hands were only one platoon. Listening to the gunshots over there, Li Ziyuan could easily judge what kind of pressure He Sanliang was under.

But Li Ziyuan also knew clearly that it was He Sanliang's side that temporarily dragged the main force of the Japanese army, so that the breakthrough action on his side could be relatively easy, and he continuously tore through the cordon of the Japanese puppet army. If you can't grasp this last opportunity, it will be almost difficult for these more than 100 fellows to stand out.

These more than 100 villagers who don't even have a kitchen knife in their hands at the moment are not well-trained troops. As soon as the gun went off, it was not easy to fall into chaos on the spot. With more than 100 villagers to break through, we must seize this last opportunity, and the slightest deviation will make all the efforts of He Sanliang's side go to waste.

At this moment, Li Ziyuan didn't care about what happened to He Sanliang, and commanded the troops to continue to attack forward. It's just that the troops who are already exhausted and have suffered certain casualties are unable to continue to assault after tearing through the three cordons of the Japanese puppet army in a row. After all, he only has a platoon of troops in his hands, so how many nails can he hit even if he is covered in iron?

Faced with the current situation that the sharp knife had been curled, Li Ziyuan commanded the remaining troops and did not continue to advance. Instead, they seized a high ground around the mountain road on the spot, and the reaction was as swift as the Japanese puppet army, which had already been reinforced, from Sanban at this time, fought fiercely. Covering Liu Yanlai and Chang Juan, with the remaining villagers, rushed out in the northwest direction.

According to Li Ziyuan's estimate, after he tore through the three cordons of the Japanese puppet army in a row, there should be no Japanese puppet army at least in the northwest direction. As long as he can keep this gap in a short period of time, there should not be much problem for those ordinary people behind him to stand out.

On the one hand, Li Ziyuan commanded the few remaining troops to block this gap. While constantly urging Liu Yanlai behind him, he rushed out to the northwest with the remaining villagers to speed up. As long as they rushed through the mountain col in the northwest and entered a mountainous area in the northwest, these villagers were basically out of danger.

Fortunately, at this time, the common people in the base areas have developed the habit of running against the enemy during the perennial anti-sweeping operations. When he broke through along the gap opened by Li Ziyuan and He Sanliang, he did not fall into a panic. Instead, with the assistance of Liu Yanlai and Chang Juan, the only five remaining militia organizations and assistance, they turned into the mountains in the northwest direction.

With his own guards and communicators, he walked at the back of the villagers who broke through and broke Chang Juan. Carrying a pistol with the same open nose in one hand, while constantly urging the fellow to go quickly, his eyes also kept looking at the back of Li Ziyuan, who was fighting fiercely on the high ground.

As a local staff member who has worked in the cruel battlefield behind enemy lines for several years, Chang Juan is no longer the kind of little girl who doesn't know anything. Knowing that this battle, whether it is for Li Ziyuan or for these more than 100 villagers, it is a battle of life and death. This parting may be the eternal separation of heaven and man.

Chang Juan, who has already tied a trace of affection to someone. Although he was organizing the villagers to transfer, his affectionate eyes never left Li Ziyuan's back. It's just that Li Ziyuan, who was organizing the few troops in his hands, was fighting fiercely with the Japanese puppet army who were desperately attacking to try to plug the gap, and he didn't know that he had been staring at his back.

After all the villagers rushed out, Chang Juan, who wanted to go up the mountain to live and die with Li Ziyuan, remembered Li Ziyuan's words. In the end, he gritted his teeth and turned his head and didn't dare to look at Li Ziyuan again. Carrying the Browning pistol that Li Ziyuan gave her with his own hands, she rushed out with the correspondent beside her.

With only one platoon in his hands, facing the Japanese puppet army swarming from three sides, Li Ziyuan was under tremendous pressure. The ratio of troops was almost disproportionate, and after the gap that was opened only existed for a short time, he was quickly surrounded by the Japanese puppet army around him, and it was tightly sealed again.

When the villagers rushed out, Li Ziyuan wanted to evacuate and couldn't evacuate. The few remaining troops in his hands have been entangled by the Japanese puppet army that is quickly rushing over and trying to re-plug the gap. The narrow retreat passage he opened had also been blocked by the firepower of the Japanese puppet army outflanked from behind.

After the village was empty, this Japanese puppet army was obviously very angry. At present, the troops of the Eighth Route have finally been captured, and these Japanese puppet troops can't care about the strength of the Eighth Route on the opposite side. When they came up, under the cover of the 92 heavy machine guns, infantry guns and mountain artillery, they launched a round of attacks on the hill that Li Ziyuan was holding.

At this moment, there are only two choices left in front of Li Ziyuan. Either all the people died on this hill, or they were pressed back to the village that was already on fire at this time according to the intention of the Japanese puppet army. Other than that, Li Ziyuan has no other choice.

As for surrendering and being a prisoner, Li Ziyuan didn't think about it at all. He would rather die on this hill than surrender, let alone be captured. In Li Ziyuan's view, being a prisoner is a shame for a soldier. After many years of military career, it is better to die than to live, and Li Ziyuan has long been thrown out of the clouds.

And the Japanese artillery who participated in the battle should have received a clear order before firing, and they did not skimp on shells at all when attacking. In less than 20 minutes, 50 or 60 shells fell on the hill that Li Ziyuan was firmly holding. The hill, which is not big in itself, was bombed into ruins.

Even when the opponent had no power to fight back, he unscrupulously advanced the mountain cannon to a place less than 300 meters away from Li Ziyuan's position, and adopted the method of shooting directly at it. It caused a lot of casualties to the troops who did not even have field fortifications and had already suffered heavy casualties.

In the face of the Japanese puppet army's repeated charges, the Japanese shells fell on the hill again and again, and Li Ziyuan commanded the only platoon around him, without even the most basic field fortifications, and could only rely on the terrain on the top of the mountain to resist tenaciously. It's just that the number of troops in his hands is limited after all, and even if the strength of a platoon is exhausted, how long can it hold out?

After repelling the Japanese puppet army's charge again, Li Ziyuan replaced the rifle and fast and slow machine in his hand with a new magazine. looked at the soldiers around him who were getting fewer and fewer, and there was only one squad left. With a wry smile, he said to the guards beside him: "I hunted all day, but I didn't expect to be pecked by geese today." ”

"Judging from the posture of the devils, they obviously found out our identity, and we will definitely not stop if we don't completely solve it. Lao Tzu stabbed the devil so many times, these guys must have been quick to get rid of Lao Tzu, otherwise they wouldn't even use the method of poisoning. ”

"Da Li, depending on the situation today, we can't rush out. If the situation is not good for a while, if Lao Tzu is injured and can't walk, or there will be only two of us left. You remember to give Lao Tzu a shot, and don't let Lao Tzu fall into the hands of devils. I can't be a prisoner of devils. ”

Originally, the political commissar of the sub-district sent two guards to Li Ziyuan, and the other one died in order to cover Li Ziyuan in the previous battle. At this time, Li Ziyuan's side was left with this guard who was the same age as him but a few months older than him, and was called Da Li by Li Ziyuan because of his surname and surname.

After listening to Li Ziyuan's words, this Da Li stiffened his neck and said, "Detachment leader, don't talk about this." Today, I am desperate, and I have to cover you to rush out. I'll hold on here with people, and you should break through quickly. A person with a small goal may still have a chance to stand out. ”

Looking at the Japanese puppet army at the foot of the mountain who was preparing for another round of charge, Li Ziyuan shook his head: "I, Li Ziyuan, have fought a lot of battles in my life, and I have not been less troublesome to my superiors. But there is one thing, I have never abandoned a brother. Whether in life or death, he has never abandoned a comrade-in-arms. Not before, and not now. ”

"Also, the devil is coming for us, for me to be exact. Do you think the devils won't be ready for our breakthrough? If I break through alone, I will fall into the hands of devils. You don't talk about the breakout anymore. Whether it's life or death, we're all in this together. ”

Speaking of which, Li Ziyuan replaced the fast and slow machine in his hand with a new magazine. The remaining more than 20 shell bullets on his body were all thrown to Da Li. His British rifle did not have a bayonet, so he picked up a 38 rifle from the hand of a martyr beside him, put the bayonet on it, and placed it with the British rifle.

And Da Li, who was beside him, took the more than 20 shell gun bullets handed over by Li Ziyuan, and filled the shell gun in his hand with bullets. Press the remaining bullets into two empty magazines, one in your mouth and the other directly into the belt. The Type 38 carbine, which was not suitable for fighting bayonets, was replaced with a Type 38 rifle that also had no owner.

After doing all this, he pressed a crooked sub-machine gun that the Heavy had already sacrificed, and the last bit of bullet that had been turned out of the sacrificed Heavy into the empty magazine, and set it up in front of him. However, the experienced Da Li, although he is ready for the last fight like Li Ziyuan. But his position has never left Li Ziyuan's side.

Li Ziyuan and the guards around him were ready for the last fight. The only squad soldier left on the mountain did not use Li Ziyuan to explain. After stoning off all the extra guns, load the rifle in your hand with a bayonet and press it into a row of bullets, and hold the last one* in your hand.

The only remaining crooked machine gun shooter refilled the magazine with bullets in addition to the fact that the secondary shooter had already died. Take a piece of Nizaku* from the hands of the fallen soldier and place it beside you. And several wounded who had lost their combat effectiveness supported each other and each held a cluster* in their arms.
