Yan Shi'an stood with his hands down, bowed and said: "Your Excellency, I think the Imperial Japanese Army is about to carry out a summer sweep in the Luzhong region, Liu Hui doesn't want to fight the trapped beasts, so he may have evacuated Panlong Peak in advance, and then ran to the deserted place in Snake Ridge." Because the Yan family was not far from Snake Ridge, they annihilated the defenders and kidnapped my father. ”

Abe walked to the map, pointed to the location of Snake Ridge with his fingertips, and after making a few "Yo Xi" in his mouth, he turned around and said: "Director Yan, what you said is very right, I will immediately contact Major General Hirano Yi and take the momentum of an east-west flank attack, eliminate Liu Hui and his forces in one fell swoop, rescue your old father, and recapture the looted property." ”

Yan Shi'an bowed down and said, "Thank you, Your Excellency, Major General!" Leaving the headquarters of the major general, on the way back, he suddenly slapped his thigh and shouted: "Oh no." Seeing this, a subordinate asked, "Director Yan, what's wrong?" Yan Shi'an said: "If the imperial army is in a hurry, what if Liu Huigou jumps over the wall in a hurry and tears up the ticket?" Turning around to discuss countermeasures with Abe Nannan, he didn't take a few steps before the subordinate grabbed him and said, "How could Major General Abe listen to you?" Don't ask for it. Yan Shi'an spread his hands and sighed: "Alas! I'm pushing my father to the blade! He walked listlessly towards the police station with heavy steps.

After Yan Shi'an left, Abe immediately sent a telegram to Major General Hirano Yi. After reading the message, the muscles on his fat face couldn't stop shaking, and he said angrily: "Yamazaki, you stupid bull Trojan horse, Liu Hui led people to jump out of the encirclement, you are still in the dark, you are really stupid." After discussing with Abe on the phone, he ordered two telegrams to be sent to Yamazaki in quick succession.

Yamazaki Daisa never expected that Liu Hui would lead people to give up Panlong Peak. It turned out that as soon as noon was over today, he concentrated his firepower and launched a fierce artillery bombardment at the southern end of the Daxigou ditch, dumping thousands of shells on the large and small hills. When the shelling stopped, he ordered the infantry to charge, and when he saw that he had not met the attack, and was feeling proud, the signal corps sent a telegram from Hirano Yi. After reading the telegram, Yamazaki Osa slammed the telegram to the ground and roared, "Cunning, Yanagi is very cunning. Just as he was about to move his division eastward, another communications soldier sent a telegram that read: "Your Excellency Major General Yamazaki-kun orders your Takeuchi Brigade to move eastward at once, and form a three-sided attack on Liu Hui with the Shibata Brigade of the 17th Wing of the 9th Brigade and the 4th Division of the Imperial Allied Army. You led the Xiaodao Brigade and the 1st and 3rd Divisions of the Imperial Allied Army to clear out the remnants of the Communist Party in the four towns of Culai, Huama, Qinglong, and Jiaoyu. ”

Yamazaki originally wanted to devote all his troops to eliminate Liu Hui, but the brigade headquarters made such an arrangement, and he was reluctant and helpless, so he ordered someone to summon Takeuchi Miyahiko, put the map and explain the route of the march, and said: "Takeuchi-kun, after exterminating Liu Hui and his subordinates, bring me the heads of Liu Hui, Yu Lan, Gu Yue, Xia Yifan, Chu Ba, and Xu Zhihong." ”

Takeuchi Miyahiko straightened his chest and said, "Yes." "His personality was originally arrogant, but after suffering defeats under Liu Hui one after another, his self-confidence was reduced, and he was extremely cautious during the march and slowly advanced forward.

At about four o'clock in the afternoon, the Kashiwagi squadron in front of the sudden attack sent someone to report that they had found traces of the Eight Roads ahead. Takeuchi Miyahiko climbed to a high place, picked up a telescope to observe, and saw more than 30 soldiers of the Eighth Route Army in gray uniforms hurrying to the southeast, thinking: "This is a lonely Eighth Route Army, I want to destroy them." "Put down the binoculars and order the Kashiwagi squadron to chase and kill.

This small group of eight roads is none other than the Qinglong Martial Arts Team behind enemy lines led by Jiang Yun. Jiang Yun led his troops to shuttle through various villages, but life was very difficult, and everywhere he went, he was forced to retreat here. But before the buttocks were hot, he found that a large number of devils came up from the west pocket, Jiang Yun didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly led people to the direction of Snake Ridge.

After running for more than ten miles, Jiang Yun looked back and saw that most of the soldiers were swaying and could fall at any time, and thought: "The team members have not been able to rest well for many days, and their stomachs are empty, resulting in physical exhaustion. With a heavy heart, he climbed a hill covered with green grass, turned around and said: "Hu Suqing, you take the first and second classes of martial arts to continue to withdraw, cross the Snake Ridge, retreat into the depths of the dense forest and hide, and the third squad members stay behind to fight with me." ”

Hu Suqing hesitated for a moment and said, "Captain Jiang, you lead people to evacuate, and I will stay to cover." Jiang Yun's face turned pale and said, "Squad Leader Hu, obey the order and quickly lead people to withdraw." A trace of sadness flashed on Hu Suqing's haggard cheeks, and he shouted, "The members of the first and second classes come with me." ”

After Jiang Yun arranged the eleven members of the third class, he felt that his mouth was dry, so he pulled a handful of grass and put it in his mouth to chew. Soon, the green grass juice hung on the corners of both mouths, raised his hand to wipe it, looked at the devil who was getting closer and closer, suddenly swallowed the grass ball in his mouth into the empty belly, and shouted: "Throw a grenade." ”

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! …… After several explosions, Jiang Yun and the others angrily shot bullets at the devil.

The squadron leader of Kashiwagi looked at the retreating soldiers, his eyes widened, and he shouted, "Grenadier, blow up all the earth for me." More than 100 grenades hit the mountain, the smoke billowed out, and the green grass disappeared in an instant. Kashiwagi's bloodshot eyes widened, and he shouted in a cruel voice: "Kill for ......" One or two hundred devils rushed towards the hill with shiny bayonets.

The smoke on the mountain was quickly blown away by the wind, Jiang Yun endured the severe pain and raised his upper body, touched it with his hand, his left thigh had been blown off, and the blood flowed like a stream. He didn't care about his wounds, looked left and right, and saw that there were only four people left including him, rubbed his steel teeth, and shouted: "Comrades, repel the devil's charge this time." ”

The three team members all said: "Captain, the people are in the position, and they will never let the devil rush up the mountain." Jiang Yun said: "Get closer." He waited for the devil to approach a distance of forty meters and shouted, "Fight! "The grenades were gone, they shot with guns, the bullets ran out, and the three team members pounced on the devil like a whirlwind. A member of the team stabbed a devil to death, suddenly felt a pain in his armpit, and turned his head to see that a devil had stabbed a bayonet deep into his ribs. He gritted his teeth and threw it with all his might, the gun flying out of his hand, and the bayonet piercing the devil's back through his chest. He pulled out the bayonet pierced in the ribs, and pounced on one of the devils with his gun, and at the same time he was stabbed in the chest, he also stabbed the bayonet deep into the devil's chest. The other two team members, each stabbed a devil to death, fell in a pool of blood.

Jiang Yun's leg was broken, and he could no longer stand and fight, and when he saw the last team member fall, he let out a loud cry and rolled down from the top of the mountain. When he rolled to the corpse of a devil, he tore off a grenade, twisted and knocked, only to hear a bang, and died with the three devils who rushed up.
