Gao Qixing held the heart of death, and prepared to lead the brothers guarding Zhaozhou Pass to make the last blockade.

At this critical juncture, Wang Xiaofei led a team of only more than 30 people and unexpectedly launched an attack behind the devil. Seeing their arrival, Gao Qixing also led the rangers to launch a counterattack against the devils. Under the front and rear attacks, the devil's attack was repelled by them.

Wang Xiaofei led a group of new forces to break through the blockade of the devils and joined Gao Qixing.

By this time, it was already completely dark, and the raging fire that was still burning and closed the door was gradually subsided. Gao Qixing immediately ordered the team members to quickly block the gate. Everyone rolled down some big rocks from the mountain, and then pried up some granite strips and bluestone slabs on the road, and blocked the closed door that had been blown open again.

Gao Qixing also asked everyone to quickly check the guns and ammunition, strengthen the fortifications, transfer the wounded, and bury the remains of the martyrs.

After he led everyone to finish all this, he sat down tiredly and asked about Wang Xiaofei and the troops he brought.

It turned out that Wang Xiaofei and the team member had crossed the Xiu River, and they ran towards Yunshan in the west. At dawn the next day, they finally came to the vicinity of Xiaoli Village at the foot of Yunshan. And Xiaoli Village is next to the highway from Nanchang to Jiujiang, and they only need to cross the road to Xiaoli Village, and then they can go directly to Yunshan.

However, they saw that on the highway, the devils were very strictly guarded by three steps and one post, and five steps and one sentry, and they also saw a lot of devils patrolling the highway. They didn't know that the devils had already surrounded Yunshan, and they were about to launch an attack on Yunshan after dawn

The two of them, who were tired and hungry, had to go to someone's sweet potato field to look for the sweet potatoes that remained in the field. Even if they were lucky, they really found a few sweet potatoes left in the ground that they hadn't dug up. The two of them couldn't care so much, so they wiped the soil on the sweet potato noodles with their clothes, and even ate all the sweet potatoes into their stomachs, and then they felt refreshed.

Seeing that the sky was about to dawn, their hearts couldn't help but get anxious, if they couldn't cross the highway before dawn, they wouldn't have a chance to pass after dawn. However, the commander and the wounded were still waiting for what they had brought. What to do? They lay on the side of the road, staring at the devils on the road, anxiously waiting for their opportunity.

Suddenly, the two saw several figures appear on the side of the road. I saw them creeping forward quietly, slowly approaching the road. As soon as the devil's patrol passed, the black shadows rushed onto the road like lightning, and they rushed towards a few devil sentries standing guard. Before the devil could react, a cold light flashed, and several sentries fell silently into their arms.

They quickly dragged the corpse of the devil sentry into the grass on the side of the road, and then, with a wave of his hand, one of them waved his hand, only to see dozens of figures suddenly emerge from the grass not far from Wang Xiaofei, and they crossed the road in the blink of an eye.

There were no devil sentinels on the road, and they hurriedly crossed the road with those people.

The two of them followed the group of people and ran desperately towards the mountain in front of them, which seemed taller and clearer. Suddenly, Wang Xiaofei and the others tripped under their feet, their bodies took off, and they fell to the ground at once, as if they were being held with a gun on their heads. I only heard a muffled shout:

"Who? Why follow us? ”

The two were pulled up from the ground. In the twilight of the twilight, Wang Xiaofei saw this group of people dressed like peasants. One of them, a strong man with a beard on his face, was pointing a gun at himself and asking himself.

"Oops, how are you?"

The strong man and Wang Xiaofei pointed at each other at the same time and shouted happily, and the two held each other's hands tightly.

It turned out that this big man was none other than Han Feng, the captain of the Yunshan guerrillas who were active in this area. Since Xiao Xiong sent Wang Xiaofei to Yongxiu to carry out anti-Japanese activities, the anti-Japanese armed forces in this area have been rapidly strengthened. Han Feng originally recruited a group of people to occupy the Yunshan area after the Japanese invaders occupied Yongxiu and became the king of the mountain. Later, Wang Xiaofei personally went to Yunshan, negotiated with Han Feng, and pulled their team into the anti-Japanese resistance, and became the Yunshan anti-Japanese guerrilla team of the Northern Jiangxi Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Corps.

Originally, before attacking Yangjialing Station, since the Yunshan guerrillas did not have a radio station, Wang Xiaofei sent someone to inform them to join the war. However, because they were not active in Yunshan at that time, but went to the transport convoy in the area of Zhang Gongdu to ambush the devils, they did not get in touch. By the time the guerrilla liaison sent Xiao Xiong's order to Han Feng, the time had already passed.

Later, Han Feng heard that there was a fierce battle at Yangjialing Station, and the Einsatzgruppen had withdrawn to Yunshan after the battle. Therefore, he led the guerrillas to prepare to rush to the mountains to join the Einsatzgruppen. Unexpectedly, when they crossed the highway, they found that the devils had blocked the highway. So, there was the scene that Wang Xiaofei saw.

On the way, the guerrillas found that someone was following them, so they ambushed Wang Xiaofei on the side of the road and tripped over them, and then met with Han Feng.

"Captain Wang, why are you here in the middle of the night? I thought you were on top of Cloud Mountain? ”

Han Feng asked curiously.

So, Wang Xiaofei briefly introduced the battle at Yangjialing Station and the current situation on the mountain.

After listening to the introduction, Han Feng was envious, and he said with infinite yearning and regret:

"Ah, that's so enjoyable. What a missed opportunity to kill devils. ”

Wang Xiaofei patted him on the shoulder and said:

"Don't worry, Brother Han, there is a chance. Let's go, let's hurry up the mountain. While eating the bread given by Han Feng, he ran towards the mountain with the guerrillas.

However, the team member who was exploring the road in front suddenly gestured to the back with his hand: There is someone in front!

Everyone immediately relaxed their pace and looked towards the mountain road in front of them. By this time, it was already dawn. I saw that the mountain road in front of me, starting from the mountainside and going all the way to the top of the mountain, was full of devils.

"There are so many devils, it looks like they are in the Einsatzgruppen that are going to attack the top of the mountain." Han Feng whispered to Wang Xiaofei.

"I have to inform Commander Xiao quickly, I don't know if they know."

Wang Xiaofei said anxiously.

"Let's go, let's go up the other road."

Han Feng pulled Wang Xiaofei and prepared for the mountain from another path. However, all the passages leading to the top of Cloud Mountain have devils. They had to look for an opportunity, look for the gap, and it was not until late evening that they finally made it up the mountain. At this time, it happened that the devil launched a final attack on Gao Qixing and them.

As soon as Han Feng saw that the situation was not good, he led the team to attack from behind the devils, and together with Gao Qixing, he repelled the enemy's deadly attack.

Gao Qixing let this new force stay at the pass. Let Wang Xiaofei and the others hurry up to find Xiao Xiong.

Wang Xiaofei came to the camp, he briefly reported to Xiao Xiong about the descent from the mountain, and then handed the medicine to Xiao Xiong.

Xiao Xiong handed over the medicine to the medical soldiers and asked them to quickly give medicine and injections to the wounded. He asked Gao Qixing and Xiong Qiang to be brought in. Then, with a heavy face, he said to them:

"Senior Deputy Commander, Chief of Staff, Xiao Fei, the situation we are facing now is very serious. The devils have surrounded Yunshan, and we are all trapped in the temple. Now we have only a few hours left tonight, when the day comes. There may not be a chance. We should think about what we should do now, you say? ”

"Let's fight, it's enough to kill one devil, and kill two to earn one." Wang Xiaofei didn't seem to feel anything, and said with pride.

"It's the easiest. We can do it, but there are still nearly 600 brothers here, and there are so many wounded, I don't know what to do. We can't just leave them alone, can we? ”

Xiao Xiong looked at everyone very anxiously.

Suddenly, several wounded people limped in with each other, and they said to Xiao Xiong:

"Commander, we heard what you just said. You should hurry up and lead everyone to break through, anyway, we people can't go. Let us stay and stop the devils and cover your retreat, so as not to drag everyone down. Hurry up and give the order to withdraw. ”

Xiao Xiong shook his head like a rattle, and said in his mouth:

"No, no, it's impossible to leave you alone."

An older wounded man suddenly knelt in front of Xiao Xiong and said in an almost pleading tone:

"Commander, we have received your wishes. Everyone discussed it, and then we came over to talk about it. As long as you can break out, you will all die in battle without regrets. When the devils are eliminated, you just need to remember us during the New Year's holidays. Commander, let's go. ”

Xiao Xiong silently pulled the wounded man up with tears in his eyes. Gao Qixing, Xiong Qiang, Wang Xiaofei, and several other wounded people all looked at him, waiting for his orders.

Xiao Xiong gritted his teeth, his face was blue, and he said with difficulty:

"Okay."

He walked over and hugged the wounded one by one. Then he went into the ward of the seriously wounded. These seriously injured people had just taken medicine and injections, and they all fell asleep peacefully. Xiao Xiong looked at their familiar faces, and could no longer control his emotions, and two lines of tears flowed from his eyes.

Suddenly, he walked up to each of the wounded's beds and gave them a military salute one by one. Then, he turned around and walked out.

He asked Gao Qixing and Xiong Qiang to send the wounded who had difficulty walking to the position, and then withdrew all the team members who were acting as blockers. He asked Wang Xiaofei to count the number of people, and there were more than 156 wounded who stayed to act as blockers, and more than 50 seriously injured, and a total of more than 360 people who could be evacuated.

Xiao Xiong had already heard Han Feng say that there was a secret route down the cliff behind the temple, so he asked Han Feng to hurry up and prepare to help withdraw the team. He also called four monks and told them to withdraw with the Einsatzgruppen.

When the monks heard that more than 200 wounded had remained and had not been evacuated, they said that they would not leave.

Xiao Xiong saw that it was already late at night, and he couldn't delay any longer. He sighed, and suddenly shouted loudly:

"All stand upright! Salute! ”

All the Rangers who were ready to retreat saluted the wounded brothers who were hiding in the darkness and preparing to fight the devil to the end, to the seriously wounded lying on the hospital beds, and finally to the four monks who were praying silently for them with their hands folded. With tears in their eyes, they turned and walked towards the steep mountain behind the monastery.
