In the flames and smoke of the explosion, countless Japanese soldiers and Goryeo cannon fodder human bodies were torn apart and thrown into the air.

The Japanese army and Goryeo cannon fodder, who did not die, abandoned their weapons and went out with their heads in their hands to find a place to hide, but in this pushing and shoving, many people were trampled to death.

Xu Tianbao, who had already withdrawn outside the village, rushed to the entrance of the village with his soldiers, and with the last ammunition, he fired fiercely at the chaotic enemy group, beating the enemy group even more chaotic.

The Goryeo cannon fodder ran backwards like frightened birds.

Xie Zixiang saw this, laughed, rushed out with four soldiers, fired a shuttle of bullets, and threw a few grenades, forcing the group of Japanese troops to retreat two kilometers outside the village.

The captain of the Japanese army, Araki Weisaku, happened to walk to the entrance of the village at this time.

At the moment of the explosion, he slid down from the horse's back in a trembling way, using the horse as a cover to block the powerful shock wave of the explosion, the horse's body was torn open by the explosion, and the horse's intestines and feces and urine were splashed all over the body of the wild spirit, but the wild spirit felt all over his body, and he didn't find a wound, and he was secretly relieved: his luck was not bad, and he escaped again!

But the sound of guns and explosions of the Huaxia army outside the village, the absurd spirit did not dare to stay in the village, and he didn't care about the stinky dirt on his body, dragged the command knife, and the cat ran away with his waist and buttocks.

As in the previous battles, the largest casualties were still Goryeo cannon fodder, and the main force of the Japanese army company was still outside the village.

However, hordes of Goryeo cannon fodder poured out of the village, and the Japanese army could not stop them from firing, so they had to be forced to retreat again and again, until they were two kilometers away to gain a firm foothold.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, platoon commander Xie Zixiang and deputy platoon commander Xu Tianbao evacuated bouldering with the third platoon, which had more than half of the casualties.

When evacuating three kilometers away from the bouldering, the third platoon encountered an armed force with disheveled clothes and various weapons.

It turned out that this was the militia that rushed from the rear.

It was less than a year since the Huaxia army entered the Chinese mainland, and the local administration still relied on the bureaucracy left by the Qing court, and the administrative efficiency was extremely low, and it was difficult for the high-level decision-making of the Chinese empire to reach the people, and it was too late to mobilize the huge human resources of the Chinese mainland to participate in this national war related to the life and death of the country.

After Hu Zhen proposed that the Huaxia Army mobilize the people in the Northeast Theater, the Huaxia Army immediately dispatched more than 1,000 small detachments to go deep into the cities and villages in the Northeast Theater to undertake the task of mobilizing the people.

In a short period of a few months, the people in the northeast knew that the Oros were forcing the Chinese Empire to surrender the territory north of the Yellow River, and the Empress Dowager Cixi of the former Qing court actually agreed to cede the territory north of the Great Wall to the Oros.

At first, the descendants of the Eight Banners had an attitude of rejection towards the Huaxia Army, but in the Jiangdong 64tun incident, the descendants of the Eight Banners who tried to surrender to the Hubei Army, regardless of men, women, old and children, were slaughtered and humiliated by the Hubei Army.

The news spread throughout the Chinese Empire, the attitude of the descendants of the Eight Banners changed dramatically, the original Eight Banners of the Han Army, immediately abandoned the identity of the Eight Banners, and devoted themselves to the arms of the Chinese Empire, and the rest of the Eight Banners of Manchuria and Mongolia also quietly incognito, hidden into the people, no longer supported the people sent by the Empress Dowager Cixi, and no longer caused chaos for the Chinese Empire.

Therefore, when the Huaxia Army was mobilizing the people in the Northeast Theater, it received a positive response from the people, and hundreds of thousands of young and middle-aged people joined the militia organized by the Huaxia Army and went to the battlefield to transport baggage for the Huaxia Army, rescue and transport the wounded and sick, stand guard and monitor the enemy's movements, and replenish the losses of the Huaxia Army.

As a result, the pressure on the Huaxia Army's logistical work other than combat missions has been greatly reduced, and all combat units and even baggage units can concentrate on the battlefield to fight against the enemy wholeheartedly.

There were more than 500 militia members who came to join the third platoon of bouldering, and Second Lieutenant Mu Yingcai, who was sent by the Huaxia Army, led by 10 veterans of the Huaxia Army, rushed over.

The militia of more than 500 people were not worth mentioning in terms of weapons and combat effectiveness, but they carried with them what the three platoons urgently needed: 15,000 bullets, 100 recoilless shells, 100 mortar shells, and 600 grenades.

Xie Zixiang unceremoniously handed over the wounded to the militiamen and transferred them back to the rear hospital, and accepted all the ammunition that had been transported from the distant Nanyang Industrial Zone to Lushun by sea, and then from Lushun to the front line by the people from all over the country.

With enough ammunition and more than 500 young militia support, Xie Zixiang and Xu Tianbao both wanted to fight a battle here and then retreat, and the second lieutenant Mou Yingcai, who had just come up, was also itching.

At this time, there were 28 soldiers in the third platoon who could still fight, including the main and deputy platoon commanders, counting the ten veterans brought by Second Lieutenant Mou Yingcai, and 39 people who had undergone complete training and combat experience.

According to Mu Yingcai's proposal, in order to enhance the combat effectiveness of the three platoons, 50 militiamen who showed strong ability were selected from the 500 militiamen to be assigned to the third platoon, and the standard weapons of the Huaxia Army were used as soldiers in the three platoons to accompany the fighting.

This is a major matter to restore combat effectiveness, and of course Xie Zixiang and Xu Tianbao immediately agreed.

However, on the matter of how to teach the pursuing Japanese army a lesson, Mu Yingcai agreed with the opinion of Xie Zixiang and Xu Tianbao, who were familiar with the situation: Mu Yingcai commanded 450 militiamen to block the attack in the front, and Xie Zixiang and Xu Tianbao led three platoons to go around the flank and rear of the Japanese army to strike at the Japanese army.

After the battle began, the more than 450 militiamen showed great enthusiasm, and the weapons in their hands kept ringing, if it was an elite Japanese army, it was estimated that a charge would rush over, but fortunately, the Goryeo cannon fodder who walked in front was the master who stopped when he heard the gunshots.

The two sides seemed to be fighting fiercely, but there were not many people who killed each other.

When the two sides were fighting lively, seventy-eight soldiers in the third platoon quietly went around the flank of the Japanese army.

At this time, the Japanese army did not know what was happening in front, and the commanders raised their binoculars one after another to observe the situation in front, which happened to give the three rows of best shooting targets.

As soon as the guns of the third platoon rang out, more than a dozen Japanese officers and dozens of soldiers were immediately killed and wounded.

The Goryeo cannon fodder who rushed to the front heard the fierce gunfire behind them, and habitually fled in all directions, because the road was narrow, or the road to escape backwards was easy enough, most of the Goryeo cannon fodder fled backwards, and the formation of the Japanese army was also disrupted.

After putting away the binoculars and hiding in the group of Japanese troops, he ordered to retreat and prepare to reorganize the team and fight again. (To be continued.) )
