Since receiving the news that the devils have occupied Minshan, the troops of the Ninth War Zone on the front line of Jinguanqiao have known that this battle can not be fought again, they have been fighting here for so long, the corpses of soldiers are everywhere, and the battle line held by human lives cannot be fought again, but these news did not dare to let the officers below the regimental level know, for fear that the retreat would turn into a rout......

By September 3, the order to retreat was finally issued, Minshan had been recaptured by the 74th Army, and the troops guarding the front line of Jinguanqiao could finally retreat with confidence, without worrying about being copied by the devils;

"Did Huang Wujun notify you?" He Jianye asked,

"Informed that they will retreat from the avenue with the help of the 15th Division and the logistics unit of the military headquarters, and we will converge at Niutou Mountain, east of Mahuiling." Lenzaki reported,

"Well, let the brethren throw away unnecessary things, and take no more jars and jars, but only guns, ammunition, and food; Advance lightly, and we will also be responsible for covering the retreat of the 3rd Division! He Jianye ordered;

In the busy position, the 16th Regiment is preparing for a retreat, this time it is a large retreat of the whole line, and the 16th Regiment is the rear guard of the entire army, and now the 16th Regiment is said to be a regiment, and there are less than 600 personnel who can fight, to cover the retreat of the large army, it is estimated that it will be another vicious battle, but the good thing is that the situation of the devil has not been very good recently, the plane has been transferred to the first line of Dao Xingzi to support the 101st Division, the heavy artillery troops cannot keep up with the advance speed in the pursuit battle, and the 16th Regiment only needs to face the cavalry and infantry of the devil;

Phoenix Village was the first blocking position of the 16th Regiment, and they had to hold out here until the evening before retreating to the next position......

The 106th Cavalry Brigade led by Uga Takenakasa was pursuing along the avenue, and the Imperial Army did not attack for only one day, and this group of hateful Shina people ran away, which was completely inconsistent with the spirit of stubborn resistance some time ago, and after learning the news of the retreat of the Chinese defenders on all fronts, the furious Lieutenant General Junrokuro Matsuura ordered an immediate pursuit, and the pursuit and killing of the rout soldiers was the best and favorite of these devils; Unlike this time, the high ground guarded by the China people was attacked head-on, and the division of more than 20,000 people of the 106th Division was defeated with less than 10,000 people, and the grassroots officers suffered heavy casualties;

"Of, of, of, 、......"

Amid the rumbling of horses' hooves, less than three hundred devil cavalry rolled up a large puff of smoke and dust, and chased after them along the avenue in the direction of the retreat of the defenders.

Matsuura did not involve the cavalry brigade in the attack on the heights this time, and a total of less than three hundred cavalry were left behind, and this pursuit battle was just right for them to play;

"Regiment commander, the devil cavalry is catching up!"

A squad leader of the reconnaissance company who was covering behind the team was tired and out of breath and chased after him from behind and reported to He Jianye;

"How many cavalry are there for the devils?" He Jianye asked, the fortifications in Fenghuang Village are complete, and the retreating troops have left a lot of machine gun bullets and mortar shells, although the 16th Regiment is now understaffed, but there is indeed no shortage of ammunition;

"It should be less than three hundred, no artillery was found; But some of the devil's empty horses carry a lot of machine guns and mortars on their backs! The brother in charge of the investigation reported,

"Commander, the devils look down on us too much, just three hundred devils, what can they do? Do you want us to eat this devil and get the horses over? "As soon as Zeng Da heard that there were horses, he immediately came to the spirit;

"Fart, this is a full cavalry brigade of devils, with two squadrons of devil cavalry, and a fire support squad; If it becomes a rout, they will use sabers to harvest the lives of our brothers, and if we have not retreated, their purpose is to entangle us and let the devil infantry brigade behind catch up, and we will not be able to leave. He Jianye shook his head and said

"What then? It's not to fight, it's even worse not to fight! "Zeng Da was stunned when he heard it, he had never fought like this before!

"We must defeat the devil's cavalry, otherwise our retreat will have heavy casualties, and we have to take advantage of the devil's brigade before the infantry comes up, time is limited!" He Jianye frowned and said,

"Commander, why don't you take the other brothers with you! I took a company to stay behind to cover and definitely complete the order of the division headquarters. Lenzaki made a decision after a little thought.

These veterans who survived the battle of Jinguanqiao were very aware of the predicament He Jianye was facing, if no one made sacrifices, the entire regiment would be dragged to death by the devils sooner or later, so after hearing the request of Deputy Regiment Commander Leng, they all said that they wanted to stay and stop the devils.

Looking at these veterans who asked to stay, He Jianye did not answer, these veterans are the wealth of China's national defense forces, as long as they go back and have new recruits to replenish, a veteran can be brought out of a squad or even a platoon.

But these are all brothers who fought side by side, and if they were thrown to the devils, it would mean being slaughtered by the devils, but if they were adorned by the devils' cavalry, the last few hundred people of the entire regiment would also be killed by the devils; He Jianye really couldn't bear it and couldn't make a decision.

"Commander, let's go." Seeing the hesitant He Jianye, Leng Qi had already ordered his brothers to prepare for battle, and these brothers also urged the regiment commander while sorting out the equipment on their bodies, preparing to fight the devil; The devil's cavalry has appeared in sight outside the village.

"Tuanza, you can't hesitate any longer, otherwise the brothers won't be able to run away."

Watching the devil cavalry stop outside the village, unload heavy machine guns and mortars from their horses, and begin preparations for the attack in the open space outside the village, Legasaki was in a hurry.

"You asked me to abandon our brothers who fought with us and let us flee for our lives, but I could not do it." He Jianye said categorically;

In fact, no one wants to stay and die, but many times it is out of helplessness, these veterans rolled back and forth in the artillery fire of the battlefield a few times, and were able to survive, in fact, they are also afraid of death, but in order for more brothers to live, so they choose to stay, they are willing to leave the hope of life to their brothers, this is the best brotherhood!

"Commander, let's go! The brethren have already had enough! "Cold Saki is still insisting,

"Yang Xiaoshi" Yang Ling pulled the bolt of the gun and turned around and shouted: "Let all the snipers gather!" ”

"Yes!" Yang Xiaoshi replied behind his back, He Jianye is not only his regiment leader, but also his young master, no matter what the order, Yang Xiaoshi will never refuse, even if he knows that it is a task to die, as long as He Jianye can live, Yang Xiaoshi will never care about other people's opinions;

"Give up the part of the village near the south side of the devil's cavalry to the devils, and all the brethren will be stationed on the west side of the village, Lenzaki, you are responsible for the arrangement of the machine-gun fire points and the setting of the defensive line, and there must be enough safe area; Wang Qiang, you are responsible for supervising the setting of bunkers for the brothers, now don't worry about the house, you can use all of them! Wu Bing, you are on standby with a mortar team at any time, watch every house in the village, and let you not drop the chain when you fire the artillery! He Jianye began to give orders;

"Yes!" Several people who received the order began to run away separately, ready to go, as long as the regiment commander has an idea, they are not afraid of little devils, no matter how difficult the situation is, they all believe that the regiment commander will take them back alive, since Songhu, they have never let them down, they believe that this time will not be an exception!
