The battle between the mountains continued until dawn, and the smoke of gunpowder filled the mountains, and as far as the eye could see, there were charred black traces of battle everywhere, and the corpses were scattered in the mountains.

The officers and men of the two companies after the breakoff of the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps fought bloodily and repelled several attacks by the puppet army in succession, causing heavy losses to the puppet army.

Xie Zhengxiang, the head of the puppet army, was also scratched on the head by the fragments of the explosion, and his head was wrapped like a zongzi.

The injury even stimulated Xie Zhengxiang's ferocity, and he commanded the exhausted puppet army to launch wave after wave of charges against the officers and soldiers of the broken Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps.

The officers and men of the Northern Soviet Guerrilla Corps ran out of ammunition and had to collect ammunition from the corpses, but they fought to the death, because they knew that once the puppet army broke through their defensive line, the people who retreated into the mountains would be in danger.

Zheng Gang, the commander of the patriotic battalion, whose face was as black as charcoal, climbed a commanding hill with two guards and found that only one wounded brother was left in a machine gun squad guarding here.

"Battalion commander."

Seeing Zheng Gang come up, the brother who was still holding his position couldn't help but cry, and around him, more than a dozen brothers were already cold and stiff.

"Good job, I didn't disgrace our Chinese soldiers!"

Zheng Gang patted the brother on the shoulder, his eyes moist.

"Carry him on his back, and let a few brothers come up and stay here." Zheng Gang looked at the brother who was injured in the thigh and instructed the guards.

"Battalion commander, I can still fight!"

The wounded brother was stubborn and unwilling to go down and to stay in his place.

In the end, the battalion commander Zheng Gang persuaded him not to move, and after temporarily bandaging this brother, he left two guards to assist him and continue to control the hill on this commanding height.

Zheng Gang immediately moved towards the other positions, wanting to take a look at the situation in various positions, but as far as he could see, many of the positions were covered with traces of the white-knuckle battle, scuffled corpses were stacked on top of each other, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

Although every position was fought fiercely, it was still firmly controlled by the guerrilla corps in northern Jiangsu, and even if there was only one person left, the puppet army could not occupy it.

"Where did it hurt?"

When the battalion commander Zheng Gang touched the dense forest with green smoke alone, he saw the deputy battalion commander Wang Dongming who was bandaging his wounds.

"There's a cut in the thigh, and it's out of the way." Seeing Zheng Gang arrive, Wang Dongming, the deputy battalion commander, was also very surprised: "You came here alone, and the guards didn't bring one." ”

"I let them stay on the hill." Zheng Gang looked at the brothers lying around, and asked, "How is the situation on your side?" ”

"I can hold on, the brothers are so tired that they are hurrying to rest." Deputy battalion commander Wang Dongming replied.

Zheng Gang looked at the clear sky and said, "It's already dawn, I estimate that Sir Zhang and they have withdrawn to a safe distance, inform the brothers everywhere, let's retreat after repelling the next wave of attacks of the puppet army." ”

Deputy battalion commander Wang Dongming nodded, their post-break blocking had already achieved the desired effect, and there was no need to fight the puppet army here.

The battalion commander Zheng Gang inspected the positions everywhere and passed on the orders, and then returned to his command position.

When the blocking officers and soldiers of the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps were preparing to retreat, Xie Zhengxiang, the commander of the puppet army, was losing his temper.

"You're all rubbish, you're just a bunch of rice buckets! What use do you want! ”

Although the thunderbolts fought until dawn, they suffered heavy losses, not to mention that they did not even take a single position of the guerrillas.

This is also the first battle that the pseudo army commander Xie Zhengxiang commanded independently after defecting to the enemy, and he was so disgraced, how to make his face passable, so when he called a meeting of the officers, he was scolded for his face.

The officers of these puppet armies were also full of grievances, and it was not that they did not attack hard, but the fighting will of the guerrilla corps in northern Jiangsu was too strong, and they were beaten down several times when they rushed up.

"Tuanza, the brothers have chased all the way, and they have been crackling for so long, and they have not advanced the rice, and they are already tired and weak, so let's take a break and attack again, anyway, we are not in a hurry."

Deputy Regiment Commander Liu Heitan is also a fierce general, and he personally led the team to charge several times last night, and he was tired enough, so he stood up and spoke for the officers.

"Shit! If the guerrillas run away, whose is it? ”

Faced with the suggestion of the deputy head of the regiment, Liu Heitan, the head of the regiment, Xie Zhengxiang, did not hesitate to refute it.

"But the brothers have a lot of physical exertion...... "The deputy head of the regiment, Liu Heitan, said more with a black face, especially unwillingly.

"You consume a lot, but the guerrillas don't consume much? Don't make excuses for Lao Tzu! Xie Zhengxiang, the commander of the puppet legion, waved his hand and said: "The attack cannot be stopped, and the guerrillas cannot be given any respite, we must defeat them in one fell swoop and catch all those who escape!" ”

Seeing that the puppet army commander Xie Zhengxiang was so arrogant and unreasonable, the puppet army officers dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, so they could only nod and agree to continue the attack.

In fact, Xie Zhengxiang also knew very well that the troops were very tired, and the casualties were very large, and the combat effectiveness had been greatly reduced.

But he couldn't stop, because he was worried about the guerrillas' resistance, which caused Zhang Liechen and them to run into the mountains and hide, and they couldn't find it when the time came.

Also, they reported to the Yamaguchi Infantry Brigade while they were pursuing, and as expected, the Yamaguchi Infantry Brigade was also rushing towards this side.

If you let your master see that you are so incompetent, I am afraid that your good life will come to an end.

Therefore, Xie Zhengxiang must defeat the guerrillas blocking the opposite side before the arrival of the devils, otherwise he will not be able to account for such a large casualty.

"Hurry up and organize a manpower attack, I'll give you an hour, you can't take the opponent's position, come and see you!"

The puppet army commander Xie Zhengxiang transmitted all the pressure to these puppet army officers, although these officers scolded their mothers in their hearts, they still did not dare to disobey Xie Zhengxiang's orders, who made him the regiment commander.

Soon, the puppet army launched an attack again, and the deputy head of the regiment, Liu Heitan, also gave up his life and led people to personally attack.

Zheng Gang, the battalion commander of the guerrilla corps in northern Jiangsu, knew that if they wanted to evacuate safely, they had to defeat this wave of puppet troops, otherwise the other party would bite at the back like a leper dog, and no one would be able to leave at that time.

Therefore, the battalion commander Zheng Gang also concentrated his strength, played a defensive counterattack, and the two sides once again launched a white-knuckle battle on the hillside.

In the end, the willpower of the puppet army was inferior to that of the officers and soldiers of the guerrillas in northern Jiangsu, who fought to the death, and they were soon suppressed again.

"Deputy commander, the regimental seat asked you to lead people to attack, you can't stop!"

The deputy regiment commander Liu Heitan had just been beaten back, and before he had time to catch his breath, the herald of the regiment commander Xie Zhengxiang arrived again, and Liu Heitan was so angry that he scolded: "Damn, why didn't he come to fight, let us be cannon fodder!" ”

"Boss Liu, what should we do?"

"What else can I do, replenish ammunition and keep fighting!" Liu Heitan scolded angrily.

"Boss, there is a guerrilla force of hundreds of people behind our flank!" At this time, a battlefield swimming post rushed over in a panic.

Hearing this, Liu Heitan suddenly felt a pang in his heart: "See clearly? ”

"Really!"

"Damn, I'll just say how can this guerrilla force fight so well, feelings are to attract us and let other people outflank our back road!"

"Then Boss Liu, are we still attacking?" A puppet platoon commander asked.

"Attack bullshit, withdraw, hurry up!"

Liu Heitan didn't want to fight for a long time, so when he learned that the guerrillas were found on the flank, he immediately ordered a retreat.
