Time passed little by little, and the ammunition that Hong Yu and the others were carrying began to bottom out. Hong Yu ran out of the last bullet in the rifle, picked up the submachine gun in front of him and shot two shots at the Japanese soldiers who rushed up, seeing that the bullets were gone, Hong Yu immediately reached out and touched the satchel, took out the last magazine, put it into the gun, and asked, "How many more people do we have?!" ”

Gao Ming replied: "There are no casualties among our people, but there are only five or six people left in the platoon left by Lin Jun. ”

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Hong Yu turned his head to take a look, unconsciously raised his wrist, looked at the time on his watch, and said, "It's almost time." Pass my orders, alternately cover the retreat. ”

"Yes!" Gao Ming was slightly stunned for a moment, answered, and immediately conveyed Hong Yu's order.

When Hong Yu and the others took advantage of the short gap in the Japanese attack to retreat, the telegraph soldier walked up to Takeo Narita with the telegram he had just received, and saluted respectfully: "Your Excellency, Captain, Captain urgent!" ”

Takeo Narita took the telegram and quickly read the contents of the telegram, frowned, and slowly loosened it. Yasuta Takahashi, who was standing on the side, asked, "Narita-kun, what's wrong?!" ”

Takeo Narita replied, "Snipers are also urgently needed in other places, so there is no way to transfer snipers to us for the time being." However, His Excellency Wing Commander knew that we were in trouble here, so he sent an artillery squad to assist us in the battle. ”

"That's great!" When Takahashi Yasuta heard the news, he was overjoyed and wanted to ask something more. Takeo Narita's voice rang out: "Although the artillery team sent by the wing commander is already on the way, we can't relax on our side. You immediately command the troops to continue the attack. ”

"Hey!" Yasuta Takahashi replied and left quickly with someone.

When Takahashi Yasuta commanded the troops to attack again, Hong Yu and his men had already retreated to the position arranged by Lin Jun. Standing in the trenches, looking at the Japanese troops who were surging again like a tide, Lin Jun asked coldly: "Hong Yu, you take your people and withdraw first!" ”

Hong Yu glanced at Lin Jun and said, "My sister is in Suzhou now." I don't want her to shed tears for you. I hope you go back alive. ”

Lin Jun was stunned, turned his head to look at Hong Yu, his expression became gloomy, and asked, "Is she okay?!" ”

Hong Yu replied, "She's fine!" But I know she has you in her heart. Saying that, Hong Yu took out a pistol from his pocket, stuffed it into Lin Jun's hand, and said, "No matter what, you must live, even if you are disabled, you must live." With that, Hong Yu turned around and left.

Looking at Hong Yu's departing back, Lin Jun smiled bitterly and couldn't help muttering: "This kid is still as out of tune as in the past!" ”

Leaving the position, Hong Yu and the people had just bypassed the position, walked out of the two streets, and when they were about to enter the woods, Gao Mei, who ran to the side of the road to relieve his hands, saw a flickering figure not far away, and immediately lifted his pants and ran to Hong Yu's side, saying: "Hong Yu, there is a devil in front!" ”

"What?!" Hong Yu was taken aback, hurriedly picked up the binoculars and looked in the direction pointed by Gao Mei, only to see about a squadron of Japanese soldiers walking towards them slowly. Tang Xingye asked softly, "Brother Yu, what are the little devils doing here?!" ”

Hong Yu thought for a moment and replied, "What else can they do here?!" Of course, it was to outflank Lin Jun and them. Then Hong Yu said to Gao Ming: "You immediately tell Lin Jun about the situation here, and ask him to send some people over." ”

"Yes!" Gao Ming hesitated slightly, then answered and left. After Gao Ming left, Hong Yu observed the surrounding terrain and said to Tang Xingye: "You lead people to ambush in the ditch opposite, and wait a while, with the sound of my gun, and launch an attack on the Japanese army at the same time." ”

"Brother Yu, just take a look!" After that, Tang Xingye took seven or eight people and left.

Two hundred meters, one hundred and fifty meters, one hundred meters, after about ten minutes, when the Japanese army entered Hong Yu's range, Hong Yu stood up abruptly and pulled the trigger on the Japanese army. As Hong Yu's gunfire rang out, Tang Xingye and others, who were ambushed on the opposite side of the road, also launched an attack on the Japanese army.

Caught off guard, a squadron of Japanese troops lost a third of their men in an instant. The Japanese lieutenant who led the team saw that the situation was not right, and resolutely retreated with his people.

"Brother Yu, the little devil has withdrawn!" Tang Xingshang saw the little devil drop the corpse on the ground, and left in a panic, and said with a faint smile on his face.

"Hmm!" Hong Yu responded and said, "Hurry up and clean up the battlefield." I reckon the little devils will soon slow down and attack us. ”

"Oh!" When Tang Xingshang heard Hong Yu's words, he immediately took people to get busy.

Just when Tang Xingshang was cleaning up the battlefield with people, he had just been sullen by Hong Yu and them, and Lieutenant Saito Michizo, who retreated with people in embarrassment, came back to his senses and immediately gathered the remnants of the troops.

"Report to Lieutenant Saito, it's been counted, and we still have two squads left."

"Eight Ga Ya Road!" Saito Michizo heard the words of the squadron executive officer, Second Lieutenant Sakurada Rokuro, the anger in his heart instantly burst out, and he glanced in the direction of the retreat just now, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and ordered in a cold voice: "Ten minutes later, the attack will advance!" ”

When the Japanese army hurried to rest, Gao Ming ran to Lin Jun's position out of breath.

Lin Jun, who had just repelled the Japanese army and was directing the troops to rebuild the fortifications, saw Gao Ming, who suddenly appeared, and suddenly an ominous thought came out of his heart, and asked anxiously: "Old cat, why are you here?!" What about Hong Yu?! ”

Gao Ming gasped and said, "Lianza, there is about a squadron of Japanese troops outflanked from there. Hong Yu is leading people to block it! ”

"What?!" When Lin Jun heard that the Japanese army was outflanking, his face changed instantly. Because on the Songhu battlefield, they don't know how many times they have suffered losses from the outflanking of the Japanese army. Thinking of this, Lin Jun unconsciously looked at Chief of Staff Hu Hai.

Hu Hai and Lin Jun glanced at each other, took out their pocket watch and looked at the time, and said, "It is estimated that the reinforcements are already on the way here, I think I can take a picture of the company." When the reinforcements arrive, it's not too late for you to bring someone over. ”

Lin Jun frowned slightly, shook his head and said, "We don't have any reserves in our hands anymore, and if we transfer another company over, won't we defend here?!" ”

Hearing Lin Jun's words, Hu Hai couldn't help but sigh and asked, "Then what should I do?!" ”

"yes!" Gao Ming said: "Company commander, there are only a dozen of us, anyway, you can also send some people over?!" Take another 10,000 steps back and say, Hong Yu belongs to the action team of the secret service department, if he has any three strengths and two weaknesses, you can't explain it to the above, right?! ”

Lin Junzhi thought about it again and again, and said: "Old cat, I'll give you a platoon of people, you bring it over and tell Hong Yu that he must hold on for an hour." In an hour I'll take someone to reinforce him. ”

Gao Ming stared at Lin Jun for a while and said, "Okay! I'll bring it, I hope you don't break your word! ”

"Don't worry! I, Lin Jun, have always counted when I speak, and if I say an hour, it's just an hour! After saying that, Lin Jun turned his head to look at the adjutant and said, "Transfer a platoon from the guard company to him, and let them bring more ammunition." ”

"Yes!" The adjutant answered and left with Gao Ming.

Seeing Gao Ming's departing back, Hu Hai couldn't help but say, "Lin Jun, why are you bothered?!" ”

Lin Jun said lightly: "There is no way to do this!" The little devil can outflank us from the left, and he can also outflank us from the right. There is Hong Yu on the left, and I am not worried. What I'm worried about now is our right side. ”

"Right side?!" Hu Hai looked at Lin Jun with a puzzled expression.

Lin Jun nodded categorically: "Yes!" After that, Lin Jun pulled Hu Hai to the map, pointed to the map and said, "Now on our right flank is a battalion of the Tax Police Corps. After the battle of Luodian, the tax police corps has been broken. Don't forget that the Tax Police Corps was cultivated by Song Ziwen. If the opportunity is wrong, Song Ziwen will definitely give a retreat order in order to keep this army. ”

"So what do we do now?!" Hu Hai asked.

Lin Jun hesitated for a moment and said, "Send someone over to take a look and make a decision." ”

"Good!" Hu Hai nodded slightly and said, "Now it's all about that." ”

The words were divided into two ends, and when Lin Jun sent people to the position of the tax police corps to check the situation, Gao Ming took a platoon of people all the way and came to Hong Yu's side.

Hong Yu saw Gao Ming and asked, "How many people have you brought here?!" ”

Gao Ming replied, "A platoon." ”

Hong Yu was stunned when he heard Gao Ming say that there was only one platoon. Turning his head to look at Gao Ming, seeing that Gao Ming's expression was wrong, Hong Yu asked, "What's wrong with you?!" ”

Gao Ming said angrily: "He asked me to tell you, you must stay here for an hour." In an hour, he would bring reinforcements. ”

"Humph!" Hong Yu snorted coldly and said, "For an hour, he can say it!" ”

Tang Xing, who was lying on the side, said: "Brother Yu, Lin Jun sent a platoon over, not to show that he wanted to borrow a knife to kill people. I think we'd better withdraw! Even if we do go, no one will say anything about us. ”

Hong Yu shook his head and said, "He can be unjust, I can't be ruthless." Even if it weren't for him, for the sake of hundreds of thousands of brothers in the national army, we can't withdraw from here today. Then Hong Yu said to Gao Ming: "Thank you for your hard work, take a class to Tang Xingye, and then replace our people." Tell them to take a break. ”

"Got it!" Gao Ming immediately took a squad of people, brought some ammunition, and ran to the other side of the road with the people while the Japanese army had not yet launched an attack.

After resting for a while, Michizo Saito, who was holding his breath, walked to the side of the temporary artillery position, pulled out his command knife, and waved forward vigorously and shouted, "Fire!" ”

"Bang bang ......" As Saito Michizo's order was issued, mortar shells rose into the air, and in the blink of an eye, they fell around Hong Yu and exploded. After more than ten minutes, the Japanese artillery fire gradually weakened. Tang Xingshang stood up, shook off the dirt on his head that was blown up by the cannonballs, and said: "Brother Yu, there are no cannons for the little devils in Lin Jun's place, why are there not many little devils here, but they are equipped with mortars?!" ”
