Chapter 771: Pursuing Cheng Wenxuan
The sun slowly rose from the dark blue sky in the east, at first in a semicircle, then into a circular fireball, and the light shone on the ground.
The darkness of the night was driven away, and the surroundings became unusually bright, and gradually, the temperature began to rise, and the sun began to become hot.
In Linzhang County, the fierce gunfire gradually stopped overnight, but the sparse gunfire still occasionally came.
The people don't know what's going on, and they don't even know who and who are fighting, for these people living in troubled times, as long as they can save their lives, they don't care much about even if something big happens outside.
Shuangmiao Village has become unusually quiet at this time, this was the main battlefield last night, but now there are a small number of officers and soldiers of the first battalion cleaning the battlefield, the rest of the troops have already been transferred, after the troops of the first division of the Imperial Allied Army chose to disperse and break through last night, they began to be pursued and surrounded by the troops of the first and fourth battalions.
The road was full of corpses of the Imperial Army, and many wounded puppet officers and soldiers fell to the ground and screamed in pain.
Even in some places, there are several soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who are guarding dozens of puppet officers and soldiers.
Cheng Wenxuan, the deputy commander of the First Division of the Imperial Cooperative Army, was now extremely embarrassed, and his troops of more than 300 people were desperately advancing in the direction of Ducunji at this time.
Cheng Wenxuan was no longer riding in a sedan chair, he ran away in embarrassment on a war horse, and he didn't dare to stop in the slightest.
When he heard the gunshots behind him, Cheng Wenxuan's face was full of nervous expressions, he was afraid that the Eighth Route Army was chasing after him.
Rao is some Cheng Wenxuan, who has some relatively smart command ability, and now he has completely lost control of the first division of the Imperial Cooperative Army.
Now, in addition to the more than 300 descendant troops, how many divisions of the Imperial Association Army are there, and where are all these people, Cheng Wenxuan doesn't know anything.
For the current Cheng Wenxuan, as long as he can keep his property and his life, everything else is no longer important.
"Deputy Master, let the brothers rest and rest, the brothers really can't run." A descendant officer ran in front of Cheng Wenxuan, and he shouted sweating profusely.
Cheng Wenxuan fled on a horse, and he is very tired now, but after all, he is riding a horse, but he can persevere.
However, the puppet officers and soldiers all relied on two legs to advance, and they couldn't hold on, many of the puppet soldiers were full of big heads, and some of the puppet soldiers had even fallen to the ground, gasping for breath.
This officer knew that if he didn't let these puppet officers and soldiers rest, he was afraid that they would all fall to the ground before the Eighth Route Army troops chased after them.
"Rest for what, didn't you hear the gunshots coming from behind? If we rest here, the Eighth Route Army behind will chase after us, and tell the brothers to evacuate quickly to Ducunji, as long as we arrive at Ducunji, I will reward each of them with ten pieces of Dayang, hurry up, don't waste time. ”
Cheng Wenxuan wiped the sweat on his face, he looked at the officer beside him, and said in a stern tone.
The officers of the descendant department immediately went to convey Cheng Wenxuan's words, and when the puppet officers and soldiers heard that there was a big ocean reward, they reluctantly continued to move forward.
However, at this time, one after another shells hit Cheng Wenxuan without any warning, and the sound of shell explosions rang out one after another.
When the puppet soldiers heard the explosion, they immediately fell to the ground, and everyone had a panicked expression on their faces.
They were extremely tired now, and now they had no combat ability, and they were terrified when they were bombarded.
"Don't be afraid, it's a 60MM mortar, everyone hurry up, the Eighth Route Army is still far away." A puppet army officer shouted.
Hearing the shouts of the puppet army officers, the puppet soldiers stood up one after another, and they immediately ran quickly towards the front.
"Da Da Da!" The sound of Type 92 heavy machine gun fire sounded, and one bullet after another quickly hit the puppet soldiers.
The puppet soldiers who had just stood up were knocked down in large numbers, and more than 30 puppet officers and soldiers were killed in an instant.
"Bang bang." The sound of the 38-type rifle fire sounded, and the bullets came at the puppet soldiers, and a puppet officer and soldier fell to the ground, and they were shot and killed on the spot.
Cheng Wenxuan was so frightened that he immediately jumped off the horse, he lay on the ground, and several guards immediately protected Cheng Wenxuan.
"Start defending immediately, this is only a small force of the Eighth Route Army, we will definitely be able to eat them, hurry up and set up the light machine guns."
Cheng Wenxuan lay on the ground, he shouted loudly, he himself took out a Browning pistol, and symbolically shot a few times in front.
After the puppet soldiers heard Cheng Wenxuan's words, they reacted, and several light machine guns were immediately set up, and seven Czech light machine guns immediately began to strafe, and the bullets poured towards the opposite side like rain, but at this time, there were no officers and soldiers of the Eighth Route on the opposite side.
"Company commander, the firepower of the two devils is too fierce, if we rush over immediately, the casualties will definitely be very large."
The platoon commander of the company came to the company commander Wen Zihan, and he said in an anxious tone.
Wen Zihan held the binoculars and looked ahead, with a solemn expression on his face.
"Platoon leader, I will take the second platoon and the third platoon to contain these puppet troops from the front, you take the first platoon and the machine gun platoon to immediately detour from the flank, your task is to knock out the firepower of the puppet army, cover the actions of the second and third platoons, and the speed must be fast." Wen Zihan immediately gave an order.
The platoon commander did not hesitate, he immediately took a platoon and a cannon platoon and quickly detoured from the flanks.
Six light machine guns from the second and third platoons, as well as six grenadier canisters, began to fire, and bullets and miniature grenades quickly came at the puppet army.
"Deputy division commander, retreat quickly, there are quite a few Eighth Route Army chasing after us, I don't think we may be able to resist their attack."
The officer of the descendant line quickly came to Cheng Wenxuan, and he said in a panicked tone.
BEFORE BEING ATTACKED BY TWO 60MM MORTARS, THE OFFICERS OF THE DESCENDANTS STILL FELT THAT THE EIGHTH ROUTE ARMY WAS FAR AWAY FROM HERE.
However, when they were attacked by machine guns and grenadiers, the officers of the descendants vaguely realized that the troops of the Eighth Route Army had chased after them, and there were quite a few of them.
Listening to the firing of a few light machine guns and a few grenadiers, this officer of the lineage immediately came to Cheng Wenxuan, he knew that if he didn't retreat now, he was afraid that they would all die here.
Cheng Wenxuan ran out of bullets from his pistol, he replaced a magazine, and he nodded to the officer.
"Leave a part of the people to cover, and the rest immediately retreat." Cheng Wenxuan immediately gave the order.
Dozens of people followed Cheng Wenxuan and began to evacuate, while others stayed where they were to block Wen Zihan's first company.
