How can a student have any skills in white-knuckle combat, even if there are no more than ten of them who know some kung fu. The Japanese army was like a wild wolf seeing fresh meat, and the samurai spirit swelled up, which was a feast for their meritorious service, and every Japanese soldier brandished the bayonet in his hand to his heart's content, taking away the lives of young people one by one.

Changkong and the others rushed into the hand-to-hand combat battlefield with all their strength, and at this time the students had already fallen more than 200 people, plus those who were killed by artillery fire before, the student corps had lost more than 700 people.

The devils are getting braver and braver, and they and the student soldiers are also fighting hard in the sky, but there are always many students on the back of the fallen Japanese army! Changkong's hands were a little numb in front of him, he had already become a bloody man, there were more than a dozen Japanese soldiers who died under his knife, and Yang Rong, Deng Zhi, and Chen Dabiao were also gradually exhausted......

The soldier who wanted to run away yesterday fought very bravely today, he saw a student fall to the ground by the Japanese army, and when the bayonet was about to poke into the student's chest, he rushed desperately and threw the Japanese soldier down, at this time he had forgotten that he was a human being, I am afraid that he had already regarded himself as a beast, and he seemed to be crazy and slammed down the head of the Japanese soldier on the ground, until the Japanese soldier's face was bleeding. "If you want to kill him, you must first make him crazy" There was a frenzied vent, and his physical exertion was also at the limit, four or five Japanese soldiers appeared behind him, and blood-stained bayonets stabbed him in the back, stabbing one after another...... The whole back was stirred into a meat flower by these four or five knives......

The wind, with the smell of blood, blew dizzy.

The sound of horses' hooves approached, shaking the corpses piled on the ground. Two companies of the Ninth Cavalry Division of the 29th Army came, and the cavalry was the nemesis of the infantry, so the devil had to retreat temporarily with the interest of killing. In fact, their retreat was nothing more than a transfer, and Nanyuan's 29th Army was entering a trap......

General Zhao Dengyu's two regiments were gone, and the defenders of Nanyuan were bombarded by enemy aircraft and artillery and suffered heavy losses. Song Zheyuan expected that Nanyuan would not be able to hold it, so he would withdraw to Beiping first and concentrate his forces before making plans!

The defenders of Nanyuan began to retreat to Beiping. More than a dozen people brought by Sima Changkong, except for Yang Rong, Deng Zhi, and Chen Dabiao, were all killed, and less than 600 student soldiers survived. Changkong asked the cavalry company to retreat first with the surviving students, leaving them alone the four who were physically exhausted, and a few students wanted to stay and take care of them, but Changkong also refused, so it was safer to return to Beiping.

In fact, they should feel fortunate in the sky, if they retreat with the cavalry, it is not certain whether they are dead or alive. Pan Yugui also told the Japanese about Song Zheyuan's retreat route for the defenders of Nanyuan, and the devils ambushed heavy troops in the area of Dahongmen. When the Nanyuan defenders retreated to the Great Red Gate, they were fiercely attacked by the Japanese army, as well as the crazy bombing of the aircraft, and the two generals Tong Linge and Zhao Dengyu were killed one after another.

Of the 7,000 people stationed in Nanyuan, more than 5,000 were killed, most of whom died in the Dahongmen area. What a traitor!

Song Zheyuan abandoned Beiping on the night of the 28th and withdrew south. From then on, the arduous eight-year War of Resistance began.

Changkong, Yang Rong, Deng Zhi, and Chen Dabiao met He Jifeng's retreating department, which was really a coincidence.

In August 1937, He Jifeng was promoted to the commander of the 179th Division of the 77th Army, Sima Changkong served as the commander of the special service battalion directly under him, and Yang Rong, Deng Zhi, and Chen Dabiao respectively served as the commanders of the 123rd Company of the special service battalion.

Since the withdrawal from Beiping, He Jifeng's troops fought and retreated along the Jinpu line, although the Japanese army could not advance quickly, but the retreat always made people feel unhappy, not to say that "attack is the best defense", keep withdrawing, keep withdrawing, when will this be withdrawn!

In November, He Jifeng retreated to the Daimyo's Mansion. The strategic location of the Daimyo Mansion is prominent, and it is located at the junction of the three provinces of Hebei and Shandong, and has always been a place where soldiers must fight. The Japanese army could easily connect the invading forces of North China, Shandong, and Henan by occupying the Daimyo's mansion, which was also a key step in their strategy of besieging Xuzhou.

The Japanese Akido Division was ordered to attack the Daimyo's Mansion, and in the headquarters, Akimichi announced the battle plan to his subordinates: "In three days, we will launch an attack on Daimyo Castle, with the Kishimoto Brigade attacking from the north and the Hattori Brigade attacking from the west." The enemy general defending the city is He Jifeng, this person cannot be underestimated, you must give full play to the advantage of the imperial army's artillery fire to smash the defense line of the Chinese army. ”

Heiji Kishimoto and Masao Hattori received the order, but these two people were transferred from China and didn't know much about He Jifeng, only knowing that although the Chinese army was brave, it was extremely poorly equipped, and there was no assistance and cooperation between them, so it would not cost much to fight a lone army.

..

"According to reliable information, the Japanese Autumn Road Division is about to attack the Daimyo's Mansion in the next few days." He Jifeng convened a meeting of officers at and above the battalion level to discuss countermeasures.

"I've always been fighting and withdrawing, and this time I can finally fight the devil!" Changkong sat at the end of the table, but he was the first to speak.

The chief of staff looked sad, raised his eyes and said: "The Japanese army is well-equipped, and there are 20,000 people in the Autumn Dao Division, so the battle situation is not optimistic!" And along the way, there were a lot of troop attrition.."

The commander of the 25th Brigade also said: "The Daimyo Mansion is located at a key point, and it is a place where soldiers must fight, and the Japanese army will inevitably go all out to capture it, with the current strength of our division, I am afraid that it will not be enough to meet the enemy!" ”

Several generals and school officials began to discuss...... Some even said that they would abandon the Daimyo Mansion and continue to retreat south......

He Jifeng slapped the table, the tea in the cup shook out, his face was serious, and his voice was even more majestic: "I asked you for a meeting to discuss how to fight this battle!" There are more than 20,000 devils, and there are more than 10,000 people in my 179th Division plus the anti-Japanese militia in the Daimyo Mansion! They are difficult for the Japanese to deal with, and we Chinese soldiers are not easy to mess with! I hate those who are as timid as mice and dare not fight! Since we are soldiers, we must always be determined to sacrifice our lives to kill the enemy! The Japanese are also human beings, if you beat him, he will die the same, what is there to be afraid of! When I killed devils on the Great Wall and in Beiping, I didn't think they were anything terrible! If anyone dares to say anything like retreat again, don't blame me for not being merciful! He Jifeng took out the gun and lined it up on the table, and all the school officials gasped, this Master He is probably more terrible than a devil!

However, Changkong and the commander of the 537th Regiment and the commander of the artillery battalion were full of blood and strength, and they were ready to fight with the devil, which made the other generals extremely ashamed.

In the end, it was decided that the 25th Brigade and the 537th Regiment would defend the Kishimoto Brigade on the north side of the Daimyo Mansion to deal with the Japanese army, the 28th Brigade, the Special Service Battalion, and the Anti-Japanese Militia would be stationed on the west side of the Daimyo Mansion to defend against the Japanese Hattori Brigade, the artillery battalion would provide cover and support according to the battlefield situation and the request of the troops, and the cavalry battalion would use mobility to respond between the two formations. He Jifeng led the division headquarters, the guard company, the reserve and part of the militia to sit in the city of the Daimyo's Mansion.

After the generals returned to their headquarters, they immediately ordered to reorganize their equipment and repair the fortifications, and if they want to live longer, they should start everything as soon as possible! Fighting a war is not a fight, and it is impossible to give notice in advance and wait until you are all in a posture before entering the topic.

Sima Changkong's special service battalion is a reinforced battalion, with more than 400 people, and in addition to the three subordinate companies, he also directly commands a reconnaissance company of less than 100 people. Speaking of this reconnaissance company, they are all kung fu masters who jumped out of the 179th Division, as well as some capable people who were accepted on the way to retreat. He Jifeng regarded this company as a baby bump, and a few days ago, twenty German-made submachine guns were given to the reconnaissance company of the special service battalion, because this matter also caused the high-ranking officials of the 25th Brigade and the 28th Brigade to make a fuss, but a large number of Hanyangzao were officially replaced. In those days, guns were much more expensive than people!

Sima Changkong pondered in the trenches, although the equipment of the troops is much stronger than before, there is still a big gap compared to the strength of the devil, and the other party is a reorganized division, and it will definitely suffer if it is hard to meet. He recalled pictures in his mind: the company commander sacrificed himself to blow up the turtle shell car, the battalion commander died on the Lugou Bridge, and his comrades and students died in hand-to-hand combat. Changkong closed his eyes, as if he heard the evil sounds of the 38 big cover, the crooked handle, the 92 type, and the mortar, and the bloody faces. Wailing, roaring...

"What do you think?" A familiar voice sounded behind him, so majestic and majestic.

"Divisional Commander!" Changkong stood up and saluted, and said, "It's nothing, it's just that I remembered Lugou Bridge..",

He Jifeng sighed, sat down on the ammunition box piled up in the trench, motioned for Changkong to sit down too, and said: "Lugou Bridge was badly beaten, Nanyuan was seriously injured, and how many brothers paid for their lives but failed to save Beiping City.."

Changkong wanted to say something, but He Jifeng waved his hand and continued: "Shangfeng let us endure it, and the other troops are all standing by, alas, I don't know when this battle will be fought. The Japanese have been driving straight in, and now it's up to us to see if we can hold on here. He Jifeng should have finished speaking, he seemed to remember something, and said to Changkong: "By the way, what did you want to say just now?" ”

"Division commander, we can't always be passive, as soon as the enemy attacks, we will defend, or retreat. According to this style of play, no matter how you keep it, you can't keep it. ”

"That.. What do you mean.."

Changkong looked at the soldiers who were repairing the fortifications and said, "The Japanese have stronger troops than us, and they can't fight hard. You see, our weapons and equipment are better than before, and the reconnaissance company has also been formed, so we can send a small group of centaurs to attack the enemy's command center and kill their division commanders! The devil is bound to be in chaos! ”

He Jifeng shook his head and said: "You don't know how much you have been fighting, even if you defeat his division commander, they will not evacuate, and the brigade commander below will take the initiative to shoulder the command role and carry the battle to the end!" It's not that easy! ”

"But after all, it will disrupt the devil's plan, and give them a head-on blow while their command system has not yet recovered."

"Hmph, quite a bold idea.."

He Jifeng still agreed with Sima Changkong's battle plan, remembering that he led the broadsword team to attack the devil's camp at night... Looking at the young man in front of him, he felt that victory was expected, and indeed as long as every Chinese united and dared to fight, the devil would not gain a foothold on our land.

"Your position, I'll help you defend it! Get started tonight, and remember, all you need to do is complete the Surprise Mission! You don't have to worry about the battle situation here! And don't get too entangled with the devil too much.. Come back alive! ”

Changkong immediately ordered the reconnaissance company, called Deng Zhi and Chen Dabiao, and prepared two days' food. Yang Rong stayed in the position, one came to lead the special battalion, and the other came to protect Commander He, which was Changkong's order and entrustment.
