The remnants of 50 men suddenly boosted the momentum of the officers and men of the 2nd Battalion who were holding their positions, and the infantry artillery also increased the frequency of firing. There were also more and more Japanese corpses on the front of the position.

Zhang Wei jumped into the trench and followed Wu Zhong to the battalion command post while fighting blindly, where the commander of the fifth company was giving orders. "What's going on, what's going on?" Wu Zhong looked at the fifth company commander and asked. "Our company and battalion headquarters have been together, the position of the sixth company on the right flank has ended, and the company commander Huang Nerd has also died, and your fourth company has been defending long enough." Wu Zhong answered and asked, "What about our battalion commander?" ”

"The battalion command post is lying down, the battalion headquarters has been shelled and fainted."

Wu Zhong patted the steel helmet: "Damn, Zhang Wei, you go in and take a look, and the rest of the people will beat me hard!" More than 260 officers and men fought against nearly one and a half Japanese troops in the last battalion main position.

Zhang Wei found Sun Zhongxian, his right arm was bandaged by a bundle of gauze in a very unprofessional way, and his arm was still gurgling with blood. Beside him were the corpses of the battalion that had been killed.

"Yingzuo, how is it, I'm Zhang Wei." Sun Zhongxian opened his eyes with great difficulty, and there was finally a hint of ruddy on his pale face. "You kid is here, how is the fight outside?" "Battalion commander, the remaining brothers in the battalion have shrunk together, and they are fighting with the little devils in the camp main position, and there are more than 200 brothers alive."

"Boom" - several shells fell on the position, the battalion command post was shaken to the ground, Sun Zhongxian grabbed Zhang Wei's hand, Zhang Wei fanned the dust for him, Sun Zhongxian seemed to use all his strength: "Help Lao Tzu up, Zhang Wei, Lao Tzu is going to fight the Japanese." ”

Zhang Wei looked at his pale face due to excessive blood loss, and couldn't help but feel sour in his heart, "Battalion commander, don't move, you rest, there is us, there is us." Sun Zhongxian's breath became weaker and weaker, and the hand holding Zhang Wei gradually lost his strength.

"Come here, Zhang Wei, let the brothers break through and retreat to the main peak of the Purple Mountain, the position of the three battalions is no longer good, you must retreat, otherwise..... otherwise there will be no chance, quickly." After speaking, holding Zhang Wei's hand fell weakly, leaving only the wound on his right arm that was still bleeding, proving that this was a man's life.

Zhang Wei dragged away Sun Zhongxian's body, side by side with the battalion attached to the command post and the corpses of other people, looking like they were collectively asleep.

"Battalion commander, I'm leaving, you guys go on the road together, and there is a care on the road,"

On the position, Wu Zhong was leading people and devils to throw grenades, he threw one, and this time the opposite side gave back 81 mortar shells. The shrapnel scattered everywhere reduced the number of remnants again, and the commander of the heavy machine gun company was shot in the neck, and the blood splattered on the hot machine gun barrel, making a tooth-aching sound of drying.

Zhang Wei walked out of the traffic ditch of the command post and crawled to the trench where the commander of the fifth company and Wu Zhong were. The sound of bullets breaking through the air made a roar, and from time to time soldiers were shot and killed, and the only remaining infantry cannon was now blown into a pile of scrap metal by rapid-fire shells and mountain shells, and the twisted gun carriage and upside-down barrel proved the pain it suffered, and the corpses of the artillery were scattered all over the place, and the surviving gunners also took the weapons of the fallen infantry into battle.

"Two company commanders, I'm back, Battalion Commander Sun has already been martyred, and when he left, he asked us to break through, saying that it would be too late if he didn't leave."

"What? The battalion commander is dead?" Although the fifth company commander had been mentally prepared, but when the bad news really came, it was still unbearable, Wu Zhong was much calmer, and glanced at the fifth company commander: "Old five, don't cry and lose your face, don't be greedy for life and afraid of death, we studied when we were in the military academy, Qiu Ba is this life, cheer up your dog day." ”

Zhang Wei got up, and the Mauser rifle was aimed at a Japanese soldier who rushed to the front, and the bullet ----- snorted into the flesh, and the one who didn't want to die became the first to lose his life.

"Company commander, fifth company commander, hurry up and order a breakthrough, it's too late to go, you can see how many gunshots are still ringing in the friendly neighboring camp." Who ordered? The two company commanders were of equal rank, and at this moment, they were bothered by this embarrassing question.

"You give the order,"

"No, Lao Wu, you are four, I am five, you come."

Both of them panicked, Zhang Wei glanced at the two of them: "Two company commanders, we are about to be dumplings now, and the friendly neighbor camp has also suffered heavy casualties, as long as you two squeak, the big guy will rush to the Purple Mountain together, it's not a big deal, how much can you run." Wu Zhong gritted his teeth and retreated. ”

The commander of the fifth company and Zhang Wei also shouted in unison, "Retreat, retreat, retreat to Purple Mountain." ”

The soldiers who got the order immediately retreated, and everyone's hearts were thinking about the word retreat, and the soldiers who were stuck in the glue immediately retreated like water, and no one cared about the Japanese soldiers behind them, even if it was the bullets behind them, they didn't care about it.

"To live, must live." Of the more than 260 remnants of the army, more than 30 were killed or wounded the moment they withdrew from their positions, and although the rest were also running, they were able to follow orders under the organization of the officers to maintain their formation, and if they were placed in other units, they would have broken up long ago.

The sound of bullets bursting through the air stimulated Zhang Wei's eardrums, and from time to time grenades and infantry shells exploded in the ranks, and more than 500 meters to the Purple Mountain, it was an open field, and more than 200 people who wanted to live and wanted to go crazy rushed forward desperately, Zhang Wei straddled his rifle diagonally, and the soldiers beside him kept falling, some fell to the ground and died, and some fell in a pool of blood and groaned. No one helped them, and now they can't care so much.

He Kun, the old boy, didn't know when he came out, and followed Zhang Wei closely, and the two rushed to the front, as if they had become the leaders of the team, Zhang Wei glanced back, but didn't see the figure of the fifth company commander and Wu Zhong.

"Hope is wrapped up in the ranks." Zhang Wei comforted himself with a little Ah Q.

The distance of 500 meters is not long for a group of people who are almost crazy, the foothills of the Purple Mountain, the fortifications, and the pillboxes have come into view, and the remaining more than a hundred people have finally reached the end.

Zhang Wei sat paralyzed on the ground, panting heavily, and the others also ran out of strength, sitting or lying down with blank eyes. At this moment, a captain came down with a platoon of men in full armor. Zhang Wei reluctantly got up and saluted.

"Hello Sir"

The black-faced lieutenant patted Zhang Wei: "You guys fought well, the first and third battalions have already retreated, I didn't expect you to hold out for so long, what about your commander?" Zhang Wei Lizheng: "Sir, our battalion commander is dead, and there are two company commanders, I'll call them over."

The captain waved his hand: "Go up the mountain first, go to the position to rest and rest." After speaking, he asked dozens of people behind him to come over to support the wounded soldiers and unconscious people who ran over from the second battalion.

"Judging by the tone and style of speaking, it should be from the regimental headquarters." Zhang Wei thought to himself.
