In a mountain forest behind Xiaotangba Village, Wang Shuihe looked at Zhu Aiguo and Zeng Wei and said happily: "I'll just say, we have already built fortifications in Rhino Ridge, how can it be so easy for little devils to easily enter the base area?" I think as long as your independent battalion destroys his squad again, the devil should retreat. ”

Just now, Zeng Wei received a call from three companies, saying that he had repelled the first wave of attacks by the little devils and eliminated dozens of devils.

Zhu Aiguo was not so optimistic, he looked at Wang Shuihe Road: "Secretary Wang, this time we can successfully repel the devil's attack because the devil does not know our situation, you must know that the little devil can have 700 people, plus the imperial army, the strength is several times that of us, now there is still an hour before dark, I am worried that the devil will use all his strength in the next attack." ”

It's just that now the troops have engaged the devils, and if they withdraw from their positions, they are afraid that they will be pursued and killed by the devils with all their might.

After all, the devils are well-armed, and their combat effectiveness is not weaker than that of the independent battalion.

Especially this kind of positional offensive and defensive warfare.

If the 2nd Company, 3rd Company, and 5th Company were crippled at Rhino Ridge, the Independent Battalion would not know when it would recover.

Sure enough, Oda Tashiro knew that the front was the main force of the independent battalion, and immediately showed a fierce light, and asked the first squadron to be in charge of the front, the second squadron to be in charge of the left side, the third squadron to be in charge of the right side, and the fourth squadron to bypass the rhinoceros ridge, and with the cooperation of a battalion of the Imperial Army, through the southwest of Yangcun to the center of the Fuyashan base area, Yaping Village.

This time, Oda Tashiro concentrated all the artillery fire of the brigade and fired overwhelmingly towards the Rhino Ridge, and many soldiers of the second, third, and fifth companies were unfortunately hit by shells, and as the earth and rocks flew out, the position was suddenly blown up into a wolf smoke.

Jin Zhenbiao didn't expect that the devil would spend a lot of money this time, squatting in the anti-artillery hole, listening to the explosion on the position like rolling thunder, and from time to time hearing the screams of the soldiers in the gap between the explosions.

His face was pale, his muscles were clenched tightly in his hand to the shell gun, and his eyes were full of anger staring outside.

Finally, when the devil's shelling was over, Jin Zhenbiao suddenly drilled out of the anti-artillery hole, and as soon as he grabbed the edge of the trench, he saw that countless devils had rushed to within 100 meters.

"Comrades, the devil is coming up, quick, hit me." As he spoke, Jin Zhenbiao raised his shell gun, and when he fired two shots, he knocked down the two ghost soldiers who were rushing forward, and then one rolled sharply and grabbed the other side, and his original position was beaten by the ensuing rain of bullets.

Seeing that victory was in sight, the leader of the devil squadron raised his command knife and shouted to kill Gege, and the devil soldiers rushed towards Jin Zhenbiao's position like a tide.

Jin Zhenbiao emptied the bullets of the barge gun in a blink of an eye, although the soldiers of the second company grabbed the position and shot desperately, but unfortunately the devil rushed too close, and the bullets rained down, and many soldiers were shot and died in the shooting.

Fortunately, the three crooked machine guns arranged in the back suddenly roared, and the bullets rained out, knocking the devils running in front to the ground, slightly slowing down the speed of the devils' attack, and buying precious time for the soldiers to seize the position.

It's a pity that Jin Zhenbiao's crooked handle only lasted less than five minutes, and two of them were blown away by the devil's artillery fire, and the devil rushed one after another.

Seeing that the devil was within fifty meters in a blink of an eye, Jin Zhenbiao shouted and threw the grenade, and the quick-eyed soldiers grabbed the grenade and threw it towards it, and the devil saw that the Eighth Route Army began to throw bombs, and also took off the grenade, pulled out the safety and threw it towards the position.

In the explosion of grenades and grenades, the two sides finally hit within 30 meters, Jin Zhenbiao's eyes widened, shouted comrades, put on the bayonet, fight for the little devil, after speaking, he picked up the rifle of a sacrificed soldier, quickly loaded the bayonet, and then held the rifle in both hands, shouted comrades, rushed, and suddenly jumped out of the trench and rushed towards the devil who kept rushing.

These devils also ran out of bullets in their guns at this time, and when they saw that Tubalu launched a counter-charge, they also did not show weakness with the 38 big cover with bayonets on it, and met it fiercely.

Two armies of soldiers of the same skin color and different nationalities collided together, and suddenly the sound of bayonets stabbing into flesh rang out from time to time on the battlefield, along with shouts and the painful groans of the wounded.

Jin Zhenbiao rushed out of the trench and saw a devil soldier greet him with a fierce look, and immediately greeted him without fear, and with a loud shout, there was a screeching sound of metal colliding.

When Jin Zhenbiao's bayonets of the two touched, he suddenly flipped his wrist outward, swinging the devil's bayonet away, and then collected the gun like lightning and stabbed again, the sharp bayonet stabbed directly into the devil's abdomen, Jin Zhenbiao's wrist trembled, and then suddenly retracted, the internal organs of the devil's abdomen were stirred by his shake, and blood overflowed from his mouth, and then slowly fell.

As soon as Jin Zhenbiao withdrew his gun, he heard a gust of wind behind him, and his body flashed to the side in a hurry, and a bright bayonet stabbed him in the ribs. Jin Zhenbiao felt that the devil's body rushed to his side because of inertia, and immediately turned around, and the butt of the gun smashed towards the devil violently, and this smash hit the devil's shoulder, only to hear a crisp sound, the devil's shoulder bone was shattered, let out a scream, and flew to the side.

It's a pity that there are more and more devils, and many soldiers in the second company were stabbed by devils, and I don't know who took the lead, those injured soldiers bit their teeth, took out grenades, pulled the lead, and then rushed towards the group of devils regardless of a sound.

As the explosions resounded in the group of devils, the devils were frightened by the fighting style of the soldiers of the second company, and they began to retreat.

The leader of the devil squadron saw that his subordinates were timid, so he had to order a retreat.

Seeing that the devil was finally repulsed, Jin Zhenbiao withdrew to the position with the second company.

It's a pity that after this bloody battle, the second company, which was originally full, had less than one platoon left.

Zhu Aiguo received a report from Jin Zhenhu that although the Second Company held its position, its troops suffered heavy casualties, and when less than a platoon could fight, he could not help but burst into tears.

When the reports of the third and fifth companies came up, he was even more heartbroken.

It turned out that when the second company fell into a bloody battle, the third company and the fifth company also fell into a bloody battle, although they finally repelled the attack of the devils, but the third company only had half of the strength left, and the fifth company was a little better, and also lost a third.

In other words, the battle of Rhino Ridge has caused more than half of the three main companies of the independent battalion to lose.

Fortunately, it was getting late at this time, and Oda Tashiro did not let the Japanese attack again, but established a defensive position under the ridge.

When Wang Shuihe learned that the bloody battle in the afternoon had caused more than half of the three main companies of the independent battalion to lose, his face suddenly changed greatly.

You must know that the devil's sweep has just begun, and if the independent battalion is exhausted, the base area will no longer exist, and at this time, he faintly understood that it was a serious mistake for him to let the independent battalion stick to Rhino Ridge.

"Instructor, what do you think we're going to do next?" At this time, Wang Shuihe no longer wanted to grasp the command of the independent battalion in his hands.

"Secretary Wang, I think we must use the dark night to withdraw from Rhino Ridge, and the troops will move in the direction of Yaping Village, if it really doesn't work, we can only withdraw into the mountains and forests." Zhu Aiguo glanced at Zeng Wei and said.

At this moment, the signal soldier held up the phone and said, "Instructor, call the county magistrate." ”

Zhu Aiguo walked over and just took the microphone, when he heard Xiang Shuyu say anxiously on the other end of the phone: "Instructor, a devil has been found in Yang Village in the southwest of Yaping Village. ”

"What? Yangcun found a devil? Zhu Aiguo was stunned when he heard this.

Yangcun is in the southwest of Xiaotangba, although it is also possible to reach Yaping Village directly from there, but there are many detours, and after the independent battalion focuses on defending Rhino Ridge, there is only a small militia unit in Yangcun.

"Yes, according to the report of the militia in Yangxian Village, there are three or four hundred devils and puppet soldiers." Xiang Shuyu said anxiously.

"Xiang to the county magistrate, it seems that the devil wants to attack Yaping Village on two roads, for the sake of prudence, you immediately organize the villagers of Yaping Village and the people of the county party committee and county government to withdraw into the mountains, and we will arrive later." Zhu Aiguo thought for a while and said.

Since the devils have entered Yang Village, there is no point in holding on to Rhino Ridge again, and once Yaping Village is lost, not only will the Second Company, the Third Company, and the Fifth Company be in danger, but the First Company and the Fourth Company of Fukan Town will probably also be in a difficult situation.

Seeing that the independent battalion was in danger in the blink of an eye, Zhu Aiguo couldn't help but think: "If only Battalion Commander Liu was here, he would definitely have a way to break the current passive situation." ”

When Wang Shuihe heard that the devils had arrived in Yang Village, he immediately agreed to abandon Rhino Ridge and withdraw his troops to Yaping Village.

Zhu Aiguo immediately issued an order to Jin Zhenbiao, Yu Yongzhong, and Liu Sutang to evacuate to Yaping Village under alternate cover, and at the same time used the radio to explain the situation to Yang Donghu in Fukan Town.

Just when Zhu Aiguo commanded the second, third, and fifth companies of the independent battalion to retreat to Pingya Village, Liu Tianshu and Hao Mengxuan rushed all the way to Pingyuan Town.

Worried about the safety of the independent battalion and the base area, Liu Tianshu and Hao Mengxuan abandoned the car, and the two immediately walked in the direction of Pingyuan Town, and at 12 o'clock in the evening, the two finally arrived in a mountain forest outside Pingyuan Town.

Rao is Hao Mengxuan had been trained by Liu Tianshu, and he was so tired that he fell apart at this time. It was Liu Tianshu, who was also exhausted at this time.

Looking at the lights of Pingyuan Town from afar, Liu Tianshu said to Hao Mengxuan: "Mengxuan, rest for a while." ”

The two sat in the mountains and forests, took out military cans from their backpacks, devoured them for a while, and then rested on the spot for fifteen minutes, and finally recovered some physical strength.

"Battalion commander, how do you say the base area is now?" Hao Mengxuan asked with a worried face.

When Liu Tianshu heard this, he looked in the direction of Fuya Mountain, and said after a while: "The devil wants to eat our independent battalion, it's not so easy, I believe in the instructors and comrades." ”

After resting in the mountains and forests for a while, the two bypassed Pingyuan Town, and suddenly found that there was a temporary military camp in the north of the town, and two three-wheeled motorcycles were parked next to a pile of supplies.

When Liu Tianshu saw this scene, his eyes couldn't help but light up, he didn't expect that the devils who attacked Fuya Mountain would build a logistics supply station outside Pingyuan Town.

Seeing countless supplies covered with oilcloths between several military tents from a distance, Liu Tianshu began to think about how to **** a good vote.

Although Oda Tashiro set up a supply depot outside the turret in Pingyuan Town, guarded by a squad of soldiers, and built machine gun positions on two hills, in Liu Tianshu's eyes, it was still a pile of fat that made him drool constantly.
