After receiving Sakagaki's order, Ikeda quickly sent a team to occupy Panshan, and then outflanked Wei Qidong and them from the back of Panshan. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

On Wei Qidong's side, the Japanese troops who attacked him were unwilling to retreat, and the M1A2, under the escort of the 4001st battalion, quickly retreated in the direction of Tianzhen, and met Dong Biao and them on the way.

At this time, there were less than 30 brothers who remained with Dong Biao, and only less than one-fifth of the more than 100 officers and soldiers in the company were less than one-fifth at this time, which shows how tragic the battle they had experienced.

"General." Seeing Wei Qidong stretching out half of his body from the mouth of the turret, Dong Biao immediately saluted, and he couldn't see his inner mood from his expression.

Wei Qidong solemnly replied with a salute and looked at all the soldiers around.

"Whoa......" Everyone saluted with serious expressions, respecting brothers, comrades-in-arms, and all those who fought.

"Target, Tianzhen, retreat......" Wei Qidong immediately ordered.

The team quickly formed and retreated in the direction of Tianzhen.

Panshan was eight miles away from Tianzhen, and before the team could withdraw to the city, the Japanese outflanking team pursued from the other direction, and the two sides quickly launched a battle.

"Erkui, Dazhu, suppress ...... firepower" Wei Qidong hurriedly ordered.

"Yes." Erkui and Dazhu responded at the same time, and the two used powerful vehicle-mounted machine gun fire to suppress the Japanese machine-gun fire point.

With a "boom", Wei Qidong blasted out with a cannon, heading towards the place where the Japanese army's firepower was most intensive, and where the artillery fire was covered, it was almost difficult to find a surviving firepower point. However, this was not enough to repel the frantic attack of the Japanese army.

Wei Qidong led the team to fight and retreat, although the Japanese army had an advantage in numbers, but in order to quickly outflank, they could not carry heavy weapons, so they did not have any advantage in firepower, and Wei Qidong had M1A2 here, which could effectively destroy some of the firepower points revealed by the Japanese army. But even so, Wei Qidong could not completely stop the Japanese attack, the forces of the little devils were too scattered, and an M1A2 could only hit a small area. The fighting between the two sides became more and more fierce, and some wounded soldiers, knowing that they could not retreat, simply took the initiative to stay and stop the Japanese army.

It is very cruel to throw one's comrades on the battlefield, but on the battlefield, there is something to give, and those injured soldiers who take the initiative to ask to stay, they are all willing. Moreover, they also know very well that if they stay, they will definitely die, but they know even more that only if they stay can the team reduce more casualties, and they are willing to exchange their lives for the lives of more comrades.

Having not personally experienced the real battlefield, he would never have thought of the cruelty on the battlefield, Wei Qidong thought that he had cultivated a hard heart, but at this moment, he felt that he was still a lot worse. Tang Xinyi couldn't hold back her tears and wet the military uniform on her chest, but she had to force herself to hold back her grief, this was a battlefield, and she couldn't let grief control her emotions, which affected the entire battle.

The tears couldn't be controlled, and Tang Xinyi desperately controlled the M1A2, so that the body of the car could not only cover the comrades on the ground during the movement, but also allow Wei Qidong to effectively counterattack the Japanese army.

The two sides fought from about two kilometers to about a kilometer from Tianzhen, and suddenly, another Japanese army appeared from the rear, which was coming from the direction of Wei Qidong's retreat, and it was the Japanese army led by Ikeda Jun himself.

The two Japanese forces formed a flank attack on Wei Qidong and them, and Wei Qidong felt even more difficult. At this moment, as countless shouts of killing sounded, a strong team was killed from the direction of Tianzhen, it was the reinforcements of the side, Li Fuying drew more than a thousand people from the troops defending Tianzhen, and let Zhang Jingjun lead the emergency support, which was a great risk.

"Kill ......"

The battle between the two sides became more and more intense, and in a short distance of one kilometer, Wei Qidong and they withdrew into the city, and it took nearly three hours, and more Japanese troops gathered from behind, and brought heavy weapons.

M1A2 was the last to enter Tianzhen, but hundreds of soldiers did not retreat into the city together, and they used their lives to pave a way for Wei Qidong and other comrades to retreat.

However, the Japanese army did not give up the attack because Wei Qidong and they retreated into the city, they followed and quickly carried out the siege battle.

"Boom, boom, boom......" The Japanese army first launched a fierce artillery bombardment of Tianzhen.

In terms of heavy firepower, the 61st Army was much worse, while the M1A2 had only one, and after retreating into the city, it played an even smaller role.

"Company Commander Dong, you go and report to Commander Li, and say that I will withdraw first from the direction of Nancheng." As soon as he entered the city, Wei Qidong immediately said to Dong Biao.

"Yes." Dong Biao didn't ask Wei Qidong why he wanted to withdraw from Nancheng first at this critical moment, if he didn't know Wei Qidong before, he might have thought that he wanted to escape, but now he would definitely not think about it.

Wei Qidong asked Erkui and Dazhu to get out of the car, and then drove the M1A2 towards Nancheng with Tang Xinyi. It should be Li Fuying or Zhang Jingjun who greeted the defenders at the city gate, and Wei Qidong and the others went out of the southern city unimpeded and continued to go south.

The M1A2 drove until the recess where the two had landed in the Apache for the first time, and it was still uninhabited as always, and the two quickly got out of the tank and put it away.

Immediately, the two climbed to a mountain bag and used binoculars to inspect the direction of Tianzhen, and found that the organic group appeared in the sky above Tianzhen to bomb. It seems that the Japanese army has another airfield in Hebei, and it is very likely that the airfield that was bombed by Wei Qidong a few days ago has been repaired and can be used again.

Wei Qidong didn't care so much, he quickly came down after observing it, and then took out the tornado.

Tang Xinyi knew that Wei Qidong was going to retaliate, but now that the Japanese army had appeared in a group, and a retaliatory attack at this position was likely to expose the target, and the Japanese planes would fly over to strike. Although it was very dangerous and even a little irrational, Tang Xinyi did not say anything against it, because even she could see the danger, and it was impossible for Wei Qidong not to see it.

Already very familiar with this area, Wei Qidong quickly calibrated the shooting of Zhuyuan, considering that the 61st Army was engaged in a fierce battle with the Japanese army in the northeast corner and north of Tianzhen, in order not to accidentally injure his troops, he deliberately extended the bullet impact point forward by about a mile.

After everything was ready, Wei Qidong took a deep breath and immediately gave the order.

"Launch ......," Wei Qidong roared.

"Whoosh...... Tang Xinyi controlled the launch vehicle and launched twelve rockets at once.

The explosion of "Boom Boom Boom ......" actually occurred a little north of the northeast corner of Tianzhen, because Wei Qidong guessed that the Japanese troops in this direction should be the most.

After launching the rocket all at once, Tang Xinyi jumped out of the car as soon as possible, and Wei Qidong quickly put away the tornado launcher, and the two didn't even have time to clean up the traces of the launch just now, so they quickly ran into the mountain recess. Sure enough, not long after the two left, several Japanese planes flew over this direction.

Several Japanese planes circled around for a while, not seeing the target, but seeing more than a dozen things on the ground like cannon barrels, scattered around in a mess, they didn't know what it was, but they thought that it should have something to do with the shelling just now, because the shelling just now was sent from this direction.

As a result, the Japanese pilots judged that the other side was hiding and quickly began to dive and bomb.

Aerial bombs were dropped one after another, covering the surrounding area, because they guessed that in a short period ......of time, the other party would not be able to escape far.
