The arrogant death squad rushed into the position of the first squadron at this point, and the guerrillas had already unscrewed the caps of the one or two grenades left behind, put on the pull rings, and detonated them at any time, and they were all with the enemy who rushed up. Suddenly, fierce gunfire and shouts of killing came from the hillside on the right side of the death squad, and the position of the death squad was suddenly in chaos. Xia Ting's command position was on the hillside near the right, and when he looked down from the mountain, many people came out of the woods beside the road, desperately shooting at this side, and the sound of marching songs came from behind the position and a kilometer or two to the right of the woods, and it seemed that many people were rushing towards this side. Xia Ting and the surrounding soldiers watched carefully on the hillside and could understand that the reinforcements of the Zhilu Dao guerrillas had arrived, and they were outflanking them from three directions. The soldiers were frightened by this formation, and someone took the lead in shouting: "Deputy Captain Xia!" Let's withdraw, if we don't, we'll be surrounded. Xia Ting looked at the soldiers in front of him who were close to the position, and thought: It's just a little bit close, it's better to attack and occupy it for a few minutes, so that you can make a difference.

"It's useless for us to attack, in the end we are not surrounded by guerrillas, and we can't run away if we want to." Someone shouted.

Xia Ting was still hesitating.

Yang Shaobao and the remaining comrades on the position were ready to die, just waiting for the enemy to come up. However, fierce gunfire and shouts of killing came from the lower right side of the enemy, making them dare not believe their ears. Yang Shaobao looked down the mountain on the left, and in front of the woods, a group of people were desperately attacking the mountain. Familiar singing was also heard in the woods.

"Our reinforcements have arrived!" There was a faint shout, but the words were shocking. In the midst of despair, the hope of life is lit and people see the dawn of victory. invisibly injected powerful vitality into the physical energy that was about to collapse.

"Throw all the grenades out of the way!" Yang Shaobao didn't know where the strength came from, and shouted hard. The comrades threw the only grenades left in their hands at the enemy group, and the grenades exploded violently in the enemy group, causing the enemy to retreat. The front team retreated straight down, and the team behind was beaten by the guerrilla reinforcements and turned around and ran, and the team in the middle of the hill was really visible up and down. I am afraid and cold, and I have no intention of fighting. Xia Ting saw that the troops were no longer good. Hurry up. So, the troops were ordered to retreat. In fact, at this time, the death squads were already out of order, and it was useless not to give orders. The troops retreated like a tidal wave.

"Comrades! Come on! Yang Shaobao jumped up. With a swing of the shell gun in hand, he was the first to rush out of position. He had only taken a step when his eyes were dark, and he fell to the ground, and many other comrades fainted. Can the comrades of the 1st squadron still charge? No more. From the beginning of entering the position, first digging trenches, and then non-stop fighting, plus the double scorching of war and weather. The physical exertion is extremely high, and it has been half a day. How can people tolerate the lack of food and hydration? It's not hunger, thirst, or tiredness, but it's also heat stroke. In short, they can't help themselves and can't fight anymore.

Soon, the support troops led by Li Fengjiang and the logistics personnel who delivered water and food rushed to the position. They were busy feeding the comrades of the 1st Squadron, feeding the wounded, and when they recovered, feeding them.

All of this is seen by one person, he is Wei Jiade, the captain of the Xicheng County Self-Defense Corps. From a distance, through a telescope, Wei Jiade watched the whole attack. He put down his binoculars, let out a long sigh, and said to himself, "It's over, it's really over this time!" "A large number of reinforcements from the partisans have arrived, what else can he say? What else could he do? After the troops gathered, they were ordered to return to Nantuan Village. Seeing Huang Ou, Wei Jiade said with a gloomy face: "County Magistrate Huang, it's not that my troops are weak, it's just that a large number of reinforcements from all over the guerrillas have arrived, if we don't evacuate in time, I'm afraid we'll ......" Wei Jiade pointed at Huang Ou, and then pointed at himself and others, and continued: "They are all surrounded, and they won't be able to leave when they want to." When Huang Ou heard this, his face turned yellow with fright, and he quickly took over: "Since this is the case, then...... That...... Hurry up! As the head of a county, he has just taken office for a long time, and there are still many glory and wealth that he has not had time to enjoy. Therefore, he didn't want to die in this barren mountain and wilderness and in a remote place for the sake of a few "local communists".

The news of Huang Ou and Wei Jiade's withdrawal soon reached Chen Bing. Originally, Chen Bing didn't plan to go deep alone, and he would enter the guerrilla area well, as long as Huang Ou and they entered, his troops would enter, but now, they have withdrawn, what is he Chen Bing still doing here? Wait for death! Withdraw! Therefore, after ordering the troops to withdraw to Xicheng County, they rested for a few days and returned to Nanliang County with Huang Ou.

The key to the guerrilla's victory this time was the heroic operation of all the officers and men of the 1st Squadron, and also to the timely arrival of "a large number of reinforcements." However, the question is, where did the guerrillas suddenly come out of so many reinforcements? To solve this mystery, we have to start from the front.

Li Fengjiang led a support detachment of more than 20 people to join the 1st Squadron day and night. When they arrived not far from Kamata Village, they heard a fierce exchange of fire coming from the direction of Nantuan Village, and Li Fengjiang estimated that the No. 1 Squadron had exchanged fire with the enemy, so he hurriedly sent personnel to check the situation first, and he led his troops to follow up. After walking for a while, the scouts came back and reported that a large number of enemies were attacking the hill, and the situation on the hill seemed to be very critical. After Li Fengjiang heard the situation, he called Su Cheng, Lin Yi, and Xiangmei to discuss, and everyone said, what are you waiting for? Then hurry up! Li Fengjiang is not in a hurry, but he is a little worried in his heart, do you think, just rely on the 20 or so people in our support detachment, how useful can it be? At best, let's take a break. However, judging from the current situation, it can only be full support, a head-to-head confrontation with the enemy, and a war of attrition, otherwise, the comrades of the 1st squadron will be in danger, alas! What else can be done? Thinking of this, Li Fengjiang pulled out the shell gun, waved the gun, and said: "We can't watch all the comrades of the first squadron die, let's go!" Rushed up the hill and fought with the enemy. ”

"Let's go!" Everyone was about to set off when one of the fighters shouted, "There is someone behind!" Surprised, the detachment personnel scattered in all directions, taking advantage of the terrain and features, and preparing for battle.

"Don't shoot! Own! There was a sound in the distance, and a group of people walked towards it.

Originally. Just when Li Fengjiang and Su Cheng were discussing the situation, they didn't notice that someone was already staring at this side in the distance. Li Fengjiang seems to be Zhang Shiqin, the liaison officer of the Working Committee of the Corps Department, who went to Mawei Village last time to find Hou Liang, the captain of the brigade. It was him, who called himself "Boss Li" at that time. Li Fengjiang put away the gun, greeted him, clasped his fists with both hands and said, "Ah! It turned out to be Boss Li! How did you meet here? Zhang Shiqin hugged his fists and smiled: "Captain Li, you just call me Lao Zhang, Zhang Shiqin." It was the commander who called me to meet you. Although Li Fengjiang has seen Zhang Shiqin, he is not sure whether he is his own person. This time, I learned that he was the liaison officer of the headquarters headquarters, and the hands of the two were tightly clasped together.

"Come on! Let me introduce that these comrades are here to deliver water and food to you and the 1st Squadron. Zhang Shiqin pointed to a group of various costumes behind him. A man who carries a burden and carries something on his back. Some of these people came from the logistics department of the headquarters headquarters, some from the cooking squad of the first squadron, and some were militia and peasant union activists......

Li Fengjiang greeted everyone. I saw so many people popping up all at once. It touched the nerve that I was thinking about just now, ah! How nice it would be if these people could fight if they all had guns in their hands! However, they are armed with burning sticks, and they can't fight! Either way, these people have to use it! Li Fengjiang told Zhang Shiqin about the situation. Zhang Shiqin looked at the support detachment and then at the logistics personnel. Looking at this forest again, after all, he often travels back and forth to this area, passing information, so he is very familiar with the terrain in this area. He waved his hand and said, "There you have it!" When Li Fengjiang heard this, he became anxious: "Lao Zhang, say it quickly!" What's up? Zhang Shiqin said: "Since I am transmitting information and am familiar with the local area, you see, in front of us is the small hill that the first squadron is holding on, with a forest on the left and a bamboo forest on the right side of the hill. I see that you don't have time to rush to the position, it is better to make a surprise attack directly from the left side of the hill, and give the enemy a blow, our logistics comrades, the soldiers are divided into two roads, all the way to the left woods, all the way to the right bamboo forest, everyone while walking to sing the song a little louder, give me a dead song, the farther the song spreads, the better, is to let the enemy hear the ......"

"Ahh Lao Zhang! I see, it's just to let the enemy know that we have a lot of reinforcements coming, isn't it? ”。“ Yes, that's what it means. Have you heard of it? During the Three Kingdoms, Zhang Fei roared on the slope of Changban, scaring Cao Cao's millions of soldiers. Cao Bing was not only afraid of Zhang Fei's bravery, but also because of the dust raised in the woods behind Zhang Fei, he thought that there were ambush soldiers and were frightened. Zhang Shiqin said with a smile.

"That's a great idea! It's sure to scare the hell out of your enemies. Everyone hugged each other excitedly.

"Lao Zhang! Or are you knowledgeable enough to come up with such a good idea? Li Fengjiang said happily.

"Where! Where! It's all the wisdom of comrades. Captain Li, there is one thing, your support detachment must fight hard, and only by playing with momentum can the enemy be convinced. Zhang Shiqin emphasized.

"Don't worry, Lao Zhang, we will beat them well." Xiangmei rolled up her sleeves on the side, raised her small fist, and replied with a smile.

"You little girl, you're pretty good!" Zhang Shiqin raised his thumb and praised.

"Go, go, little girl, don't join in the fun here!" Su Cheng pretended to push her, and Xiangmei pouted and grimaced, making everyone laugh.

"Good! Let's split up! Li Fengjiang led the support detachment to the left side of the hill, and Zhang Shiqin divided the food delivery personnel into two groups, one group was led by him to march to the left, and the other group was led by the leader of the cooking squad of the first squadron, and marched towards the bamboo forest on the right side of the mountain. After a while, on the left side of the forest and in the depths of the bamboo forest, a high-pitched song "Song of the Guiqian Border Guerrilla Corps" was stirred:

The guerrilla corps, marching forward bravely

Crisscrossing mountains and rivers to build meritorious deeds

Longcheng area, guerrilla regiments

Not afraid of hardships and dangers, not afraid of difficulties

……

The song is majestic and loud, high-pitched and exciting, walking through the jungle and roaring in the mountains! The guerrilla fighters sang this song repeatedly, and the song came from far and near, as if thousands of troops and horses were galloping towards the hill. The song was like timely rain and dew, watering the thirsty bodies and hearts of the guerrillas on the front, bringing hope for life, bursting out with strong fighting enthusiasm, and inspiring them to fight bravely to kill the enemy. The song was like a sharp sword, shattering the enemy's illusion of capturing the position, piercing the enemy's liver and gallbladder, and frightening the enemy to flee in the desert.
