Chapter 184: Defeat and Escape
After Li Yongan held the position for two days, he could not hold it anymore, suffered heavy losses in personnel, the whole division withdrew from the position, and the entire defense line collapsed. The strength of seven or eight divisions was all withdrawn to several nearby county towns, and the Japanese army followed closely and launched another fierce attack on several county towns. The county town was blocked by a wall, and it was much better than in the simple fortifications in the field, but after holding out for a few days, several county towns also fell one after another, and all the troops began to withdraw to the rear again.
After the city defense was breached, Li Yongan's battalion was ordered to stand behind the enemy and buy time for the entire division to retreat. Their battalion set up a blocking position on the main road of the county seat, and relied on the houses on both sides of the road to engage in street battles with the Japanese army. After a few hours of fighting, only seventy or eighty people in the battalion were evacuated alive, and the battalion commander was killed! Li Yongan and their company only came out of a dozen people, company commander Zhou Zhanxiong, old eye bags, Gazi and a few others, Zhang Laosan, Kang Dali and a group of people still followed them, dozens of brothers only left a dozen people, a group of people on the way to retreat, and encountered the Japanese army from one side outflanking, was cut off the way to retreat, fortunately surrounded by mountains, a group of people under the leadership of Li Yongan immediately drilled into the mountains, when it comes to the ability to escape, no one can compare to Li Yongan, he has been on the rivers and lakes all these years, Net was chased and killed and fled for his life, so no one can escape the right way, although there is a company commander Zhou Zhanxiong, he also honestly and unceremoniously gave orders, chose a good direction, and fled with everyone wolf. Although the surrounding mountains are not high, and the forests are not particularly dense, they are continuous, and the Japanese army will not send troops into the mountains to carry out large-scale encirclement and suppression because of the team of dozens of people, and the gains outweigh the losses, so Li Yongan and others escaped lightly!
Although the Japanese army did not pursue them, but there was no way before and after, they were still in the encirclement of the Japanese army, so they had to continue to play around in the mountains, and the taste of sleeping in the open was very boiling. After going around in the mountains for a few more days, on this day they found a way out of the mountain, but there were still Japanese troops guarding the main road at the crossing, Li Yongan and they observed and found that the Japanese army only had a small team, although the number was still more than them, but it was already the place with the least number of troops on the blockade line encountered these days, and it was an excellent opportunity to get out of the mountain.
When a group of people gathered together and did not discuss whether to stand out or not, the gunshots suddenly crackled, and someone exchanged fire with the Japanese soldiers. Li Yongan and the others couldn't help but wonder, they didn't know who was fighting with the Japanese army, so they hurriedly rushed to check. At a glance, he saw that it was the Eighth Route Army wearing gray cloth uniforms, and there were dozens of people, Li Yongan couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly beckoned everyone to help attack together. The two of them combined to rush through the blockade at once. After getting out of danger, the Eighth Route Army came over to greet them, and Li Yongan was pleasantly surprised to find that there was a heroic female comrade in the crowd, who was the eldest lady Tan Suyun, and he hurriedly came up to say hello. Tan Suyun was also very pleasantly surprised to see Li Yongan, two aspects of the introduction of the situation, it turned out that the base of the Eighth Route Army was also attacked by the Japanese army on a large scale, in order to cover the safe transfer of the people in the base area, Qu Regiment Commander They organized a blocking battle, and when the blocking task was completed and retreated, the troops were scattered by the Japanese army all the way to pursuit, Tan Suqin hid in the mountains with dozens of people, and Li Yongan was in the same situation, they couldn't find a way out of the mountain everywhere and kept turning in the mountains, On this day, when encountering the Japanese blockade line, there were not many troops, so he ventured to break out, and happened to meet Li Yongan and them.
After explaining the situation, the two sides joined forces and continued to move forward. Long before breaking through the encirclement, Li Yongan and the others knew that this direction was not to retreat to the rear, but to the Japanese-occupied area in front, and they went deeper and deeper into the territory of the devils, but there was no way, the road in the rear was blocked by the devils with heavy troops, and they couldn't break through with the original, so they had to rush forward, they planned to highlight the blockade of the devils first, and then find a way to go around in a circle and return to the rear. Tan Suyun: They think the same as Li Yongan. But the truth is not as simple as imagined, the two sides walked forward together and met the Japanese army again after a short time, they did not dare to fight hard, turned to other directions, but it didn't take long to meet other Japanese troops, there were enemies on all sides, there was no way out! So in desperation, they had to go back into the mountains! This time, they didn't dare to come out lightly, just wandering around in the mountains.
The brothers who Li Yongan connected to saw that Li Yongan was usually very familiar with Tan Suyun and often chatted with her in private, which was very strange, so they asked Li Yongan what was the relationship between Tan Suyun and him. This time, Li Yongan didn't dare to brag nonsense, and honestly replied that Tan Suyun was his girlfriend's sister. If there is something good, he can't help but ask Li Yongan again: "Do you also have a leg with this future sister-in-law?" Li Yong'an thought: "How do you know? But he resolutely refused to admit it, and scolded the person who did a good thing, looking like a decent man and a gentleman. It's no wonder that if the matter of having a leg with his wife's sister spreads, his reputation will be ruined, and if Tan Suqin knows about it, he doesn't know what kind of mess will happen, Li Yongan will never dare to leak it to outsiders, except for Zhang Laosan, Kang Dali and a few other trustworthy brothers!
The big guy just asked so casually, he was poor and happy, and he just said it, but there is one person who is interested, and this person is the company commander Zhou Zhanxiong! is the so-called fair lady and gentleman, Tan Suyun's beauty is needless to say, Zhou Zhanxiong is a young man, a young man with strong blood can't help but be moved by admiration at first sight! Since then, Zhou Zhanxiong has always looked for opportunities to get close to Tan Suyun. Tan Suyun is enthusiastic, and Zhou Zhanxiong is also a young man with ideals and ambitions, and the two can talk very well. But after a few times, Tan Suyun understood Zhou Zhanxiong's motives, and she naturally couldn't have that kind of relationship with him, so she wanted to alienate him, let him understand his mind, and retreat in the face of difficulties. But when Tan Suyun learned about Zhou Zhanxiong's family background, he suddenly had another idea!
Zhou Zhanxiong's family background is very good, he can be called the son of a young master, his family is very rich because of several generations of business, and he also has close relatives who are high-ranking officials in the national government, which can be described as a promising future. If it weren't for Zhou Zhanxiong's determination to go to the battlefield to kill devils, he wouldn't have been such a small company commander on the front line, after he finished the military academy, his family had already made arrangements for him, but he felt that it was not to his liking, so he secretly ran out to join the army and went to the front line of the battlefield!
