ONE 82MM MORTAR OF THE ARTILLERY BATTERY OF THE GUARD BATTALION WAS DESTROYED, AND SEVERAL ARTILLERYMEN WERE KILLED.

The troops of the 3rd Company of the 5th Battalion began to withdraw, and their evacuation caused a big hole in the defense system of Guanshan Town, and with the withdrawal of the 3rd Company, the 1st Squadron, the 2nd Squadron and the Machine Gun Squadron of the 1st Brigade of the 62nd Wing of the Japanese Army began to quickly break through this gap.

At 11:10 p.m., the 62nd Wing continued to capture several positions of the 5th Battalion along this gap, and the defending troops began to be compressed in a small area west of Guanshan Town, and the Japanese troops had begun to form an encirclement of the defending troops.

The evacuation of the 3rd Company seemed to be a trivial matter, but it brought a very passive situation to the troops in the town, and the troops of the 5th and 6th Battalions were attacked by the Japanese army, and they gave up part of their positions in a panic, but directly caused the machine gun company of the guard battalion and the artillery company of the guard battalion assigned to them to fight to pay a heavy price.

There were only two heavy machine guns left in the machine gun company, dozens of deputy shooters and ammunition men were killed, three mortars were left in the artillery company, and dozens of artillery crews were also killed in the artillery company.

Guanshan Town, the defending position, the commander of the fifth battalion, Ji Haotian, and the commander of the sixth battalion, Luo Chenxi, have all come to the front of Tan Tianyu, the deputy commander of the independent regiment.

The two battalions originally had more than 1,000 troops, but now there are only more than 600 people left, and the two machine gun companies originally had a total of six infantry guns and six heavy machine guns, but they were partially abandoned when they were evacuated, and now the two machine gun companies have only two infantry guns and three heavy machine guns.

"Deputy regiment commander, what are you hesitating about now, we are compressed by the Japanese army in this palm-sized place, if we don't evacuate, the troops will be exhausted, deputy regiment commander, more than 1,000 people in our army are now dead and wounded, Sun Weiguo simply wants to kill us all here."

The commander of the third company of the fifth battalion looked at the deputy regiment commander Tan Tianyu, and said with an excited expression on his face.

"Deputy commander, retreat, now the number of little devils in the town is several times that of us, and there are thousands of little devils outside, we are not their opponents, it is still too late to retreat now, if it is one step later, I am afraid that we will be wiped out."

"Yes, deputy commander, the casualties of the troops are too great, if we continue to fight like this, we will be wiped out sooner or later, while we still have some people now, let's break through immediately, holding on to Guanshan Town is tantamount to self-destruction."

"Brigadier Sun Weiguo is able to command the troops to fight, but we are not his people, this time he asked us to guard Guanshan Town, just to kill us. Deputy Commander, you can't hesitate at this time, if you hesitate to die, we will all die here. ”

Several company commanders and platoon commanders began to speak one after another, and they looked at the deputy regiment commander Tan Tianyu, with anxious expressions on their faces.

"Comrades of the guard battalion, what do you mean?"

Tan Tian didn't make a decision for a long time, and at this time he saw the officers and soldiers of the machine gun company and the artillery company of the guard battalion coming here, and he hurriedly asked.

With a "bang", the deputy platoon commander of a machine gun company of the guard battalion came directly in front of a platoon commander of the sixth battalion, and he directly punched the platoon commander.

"What are you doing, why are you beating people?" The deputy platoon commander of the machine gun company shot at the shot, and the officers of the 6th battalion had annoyed expressions on their faces.

They angrily looked at the deputy platoon commander of the machine gun company, and as long as the deputy platoon commander of the machine gun company did not give them an explanation, they would do it.

"Why do you hit people, I want to ask you something, who gave you the power to throw away heavy weapons, six infantry guns were destroyed by Japanese artillery, but you abandoned three, six heavy machine guns were destroyed one, you discarded two. You know how many comrades were sacrificed to get these heavy weapons, and the heavy machine guns you abandoned even threw away the ammunition boxes. ”

The deputy platoon commander of the machine gun company stared at his own eyes, and he said with anger on his face.

The sudden withdrawal of the 3rd Company of the 5th Battalion brought a great passive situation to the troops, and the Japanese troops continued to advance along the gap, which brought great danger to the troops of the 5th and 6th Battalions.

"This comrade, we can't make unnecessary sacrifices because of these heavy weapons." A company commander said with some unconvinced.

"Many of our comrades exchange their lives for these heavy weapons, and you don't need to sacrifice yourself for heavy weapons when they come to you, your lives are precious, and the lives of our comrades are worthless, you people are not worthy of being soldiers of the new Second Brigade, if you want to be deserters, you go to be deserters, leave the heavy weapons of our new Second Brigade, even if you fight to the last person, you will not evacuate, these heavy weapons are simply a waste to you." The deputy platoon commander of the machine gun company said in a cold tone.

"I think you just want to deliberately find fault, what are you, you say that we are not soldiers of the New Second Brigade, we will not give you these heavy weapons, we will still use them when we break through." The company commander who spoke before said with anger on his face, and his right hand was already holding the shell gun at his waist.

Some of the other officers also looked at the deputy commander of the machine gun company with unkind faces, and the commander of the third company of the fifth battalion, who was the first to evacuate, came directly to the deputy platoon commander of the machine gun company, and the commander of the third company directly slapped the deputy platoon commander.

"Fuck off, or I'll kill you." The third company commander said in a grim tone.

Many officers of the 5th and 6th Battalions looked coldly at the deputy platoon commander of the machine gun company, and their faces were full of hostility.

"It doesn't matter if he says it, I don't count if I say it, today I want to see if someone dares to kill my soldiers."

A cold voice came from outside, Sun Weiguo, who was wearing a gray military uniform and a major general's collar badge, walked in from outside, and the expression on his face was not very good.

Sun Weiguo led his troops to fight desperately into Guanshan Town, and after coming to Guanshan Town, Sun Weiguo was attacked by most of the Japanese troops.

Fortunately, with the protection of Hao Jie's guard squad, Sun Weiguo was able to join the troops of the machine gun company and artillery company of the guard battalion.

After getting the situation of Guanshan Town from the mouths of the officers and soldiers of these two companies, Sun Weiguo took Hao Jie to the deputy regimental headquarters temporarily established by the Independent Regiment.

Hearing the words of the commander of the third company of the fifth battalion, Sun Weiguo's heart was full of anger, and he quickly came to the front of the deputy platoon commander of the machine gun company.

When the deputy platoon commander of the machine gun company, who was slapped by the commander of the third company, saw Sun Weiguo, he immediately saluted.

"Did I forget what I said?" Sun Weiguo looked at the deputy platoon commander and said in an unhappy tone.

The deputy platoon commander was stunned for a moment, then he raised his right hand and slapped the third company commander in the face.
