Chapter 1 I am Zhao Zhi

"Company commander, withdraw quickly, if you don't leave, it's too late, the little devils are surrounding" After the explosion of a grenade grenade, Xie Jun, who was covered with dust, crawled to Ma Liancheng's side. After swallowing a mouthful of spit, Ma Liancheng's dry throat and eyes were a little more comfortable, and when he turned around, the students were only a few hundred meters away, and now if they started to retreat with their own companies, what would the students do?

"No, we can't withdraw, if we withdraw, once the little devil on the other side presses up, we can't stop it, and none of those students can escape. This is the task assigned to our third company by the superiors, those students are all baby bumps, they are injured and killed, but the losses are great, even if we are all filled here, we must also keep them safe" Ma Liancheng threw out a grenade with all his might, and saw the two Japanese soldiers howling and falling out, so he tensed his face and taught Xie Jun a lesson.

"You are the company commander, naturally you have the final say, you can build it, build dozens of us here, you will be happy" Xie Jun clicked his lips helplessly, and carried his rifle to the back of a broken wall next to him. "Pop" A bullet fired from the opposite side hit the edge of the soil in front of Ma Liancheng, and the splashed debris confused Ma Liancheng's eyes, making him rub his eyes vigorously, and it became a red rabbit eye in a few clicks.

"Everyone aims and shoots again, we don't have many bullets, save a little" When Ma Liancheng pressed the bullets into the chamber of the gun, he shouted loudly, the Japanese puppet army surrounding them exceeded 100 people, looking at the scale It should be a Japanese army squad plus an imperial alliance company, it's really a ghost, why didn't you see so many Japanese puppet troops guarding Qinghe Town when you came to pick up the students passing here?

"Snap" the muzzle jumped slightly, Ma Liancheng pulled the bolt out of the cartridge case and continued to take aim, his company was ordered to come to pick up a group of progressive students from Hebei, all the way was calm and quiet, who would have thought that this would have entered the territory of Shanxi and walked to this Qinghe Town, but was bitten by the Japanese puppet army. Ma Liancheng's company is said to be a company, but in fact there are only more than 70 people, half of the 38 rifle and half of the Hanyang made, fortunately, when Ma Liancheng was about to set off, he had more eyes, and he pestered the regiment commander to grind 1500 rounds of bullets and 100 grenades, otherwise when they were just caught up by this group of Japanese puppet troops, Ma Liancheng and they would have been killed here long ago.

"Boom" Ma Liancheng threw a grenade again, turned around and saw that the students had run away, Ma Liancheng grabbed his rifle and shouted to retreat. There are fields everywhere here, there is still a long way from the mountains, only when they enter the mountains can they be truly safe, before that, Ma Liancheng and they still need to continue to entangle with the pursuing Japanese puppet army. Stopping, chasing, running, and running, seeing that they could already see the ridge in front of them, the students who had been running wildly all the way finally couldn't run, and the soldiers who were guarding them were unwilling to move, so Ma Liancheng had to organize the soldiers in his company to occupy a dry river fork and block the enemy on the spot.

Ma Liancheng, who was in a higher position, occupied a geographical advantage and could withstand the pursuing Japanese puppet army, and made several feints in a row, and the pursuing Japanese puppet army slowed down the offensive, and instead used the Japanese army's accurate fire to suppress Ma Liancheng's firepower, and the Imperial Alliance army outflanked from both flanks. "Xie Jun, you take these students to go first, take them into the mountain" Seeing that those students seemed to have recovered some physical strength, Ma Liancheng urged Xie Jun to take them away, once the Imperial Association Army touched up from both wings, the remaining 60 people they still had could not resist the strong attack of the Japanese puppet army.

Before Xie Jun could speak, the Japanese machine guns below were still firing, and a string of bullets shot towards Ma Liancheng's hiding place, and Ma Liancheng, who was covered with bloody arrows, and the two soldiers around him fell into the riverbed in response. "Company commander, what's wrong with you, don't scare us" Xie Jun and the two soldiers helped Ma Liancheng and the three of them up, Ma Liancheng was hit in the right chest, and the two soldiers had already lost their breath.

"Let's go, let's go, if you don't leave, you really won't be able to leave, don't forget the task given to us by your superiors" Ma Liancheng pushed away the hygienist who was going to tie his wound, grabbed the roll of gauze and pressed it on the wound, and ordered Xie Jun to leave immediately with those students with a pale face. But the Japanese machine gun was too accurate, Xie Jun and they wanted to leave several times, but they were suppressed by the Japanese machine gun, seeing the two wings outflanking the Imperial Association Army getting closer and closer, Ma Liancheng, who was like ashes, felt the last grenade in his hand and held it, as the company commander of the Eighth Route Army, he must not be captured alive by the Japanese army.

After the two strange gunshots, the two machine guns of the Japanese army, which had been fighting happily, stopped firing, and not only that, Ma Liancheng and they all heard the panicked shouts of the Japanese soldiers on the opposite side. "You are a unit of the Eighth Route Army? Can I help you? Two grass balls suddenly jumped into the riverbed where Ma Liancheng was hiding, and several timid female students even screamed out in fright, "Don't scream, we are not bad people, we are people who fight little devils like you" One of the slightly short grass balls shed the disguise that was wrapped around his body, and a face younger than the students was revealed.

"Are you their head? What about you, do you want us to help? The other grass ball was not so easy to speak, but asked the dumb Ma Liancheng coldly. After asking twice, Ma Liancheng still looked stupid, and the grass ball was probably a little impatient, so he turned around and gestured to the grass slope in the distance. As Ma Liancheng's eyes widened, more than a dozen figures in the same appearance as the two grass balls suddenly appeared from the grassy slope.

"I met the people of the Eighth Route Army, help them and let's go again, by the way, you can ask about the situation ahead" Although the camouflage on the tall grass ball has not faded, Ma Liancheng can hear that this person is a person who is used to giving orders, and this person should be the commander of these strangely dressed people. The straw balls pouring into the riverbed shed their disguises, revealing a military uniform that they had never seen before, but judging by the movements of these people, it was obvious that they were all veterans.

"Don't waste time, I'll show you time, more than 5 minutes, you don't have to eat dinner today" The big man who took off his disguise still had a cold tone, but the grass balls were like being pricked in the ass by needles, and quickly took off the backpacks and bits behind them one by one, leaving only the guns at hand. "Let's start" The big man looked at the watch on his wrist and gave an order in a low voice, and under the stunned gaze of Ma Liancheng and the others, the grass balls that had taken off their disguises were launched.

"The Japanese are going to get their machine guns back, and the snipers will shoot them out" The small young man who had greeted the students earlier observed the positions of the Japanese troops on the opposite side with a telescope, and gave the order in a tone that did not match his age. "The left flank of the Imperial Allied Army, grenadiers fired three rounds, and the right flank submachine gun 3, blocking the advance route of the Imperial Allied Army, and concentrating firepower to knock out the Japanese troops in front first." "Bang" "Bang" The grass balls shot, and the two strangely shaped rifles were fired first, and as two bullet casings with the smell of gunpowder were thrown out of the bomb port, the two Japanese shooters in the Japanese position on the opposite side who wanted to fire the machine guns again shot and fell to the ground.

The bombardment of the 50-mm grenadier successfully suppressed the Imperial Allied Army on the left flank and stopped an inch, and the sudden bombardment of the grenadier made the Imperial Allied Army from the right flank slow down the speed of its advance, and they were bold enough to bombard them next. "Da da" three tongues of fire suddenly burst out from the riverbed and rushed towards them, "machine gun, machine gun in the hands of the Eighth Route Army" The Imperial Association Army who was blinded dropped a few corpses and crawled back, they didn't understand that since the Eighth Route Army had a machine gun in their hands, why didn't they take it out and fire before, and they had to wait until now to shoot, could this be a trap set by the Eighth Route Army?

The rifles with small mirrors in the hands of the grass balls became more and more urgent, and every time the gunshot rang out, the Japanese soldiers on the opposite side would be shot and fall down, Ma Liancheng and they were surprised to see that the grass balls only used three rifles with small mirrors to successfully suppress dozens of Japanese soldiers on the opposite side, you must know that this group of Japanese soldiers chased them for nearly 100 people for several miles just a few minutes ago. "It's been three minutes, I don't think you want to eat dinner, why don't you even save tomorrow's breakfast" The big man sitting in the riverbed spoke, and the already dense gunfire of a dozen grass balls suddenly increased a lot.

"Submachine gun assault, submachine gun assault" The small young man threw away the binoculars in his hand, picked up the submachine gun next to him, and was the first to run out of the riverbed. The Japanese troops who had been suppressed by accurate shooting for a long time had shown their intention to retreat, and most of the 60 Japanese soldiers who pursued them were killed and wounded, and the remaining 20 or so guys who were still intact and could hold guns also lay on the ground in panic or behind the corpses of their comrades, and those who dared to show their heads were completely suppressed by the bullets fired from the riverbed.

The grass balls that rushed out of the riverbed swirled into the Japanese position like a violent wind, and the dense gunfire like a rainstorm suddenly stopped, and the big man sitting in the riverbed looked at his watch, and the time was exactly four minutes. "Sir, killed 45 Japanese soldiers, 22 Imperial Allied Army, captured 21 Japanese soldiers alive, 30 Imperial Allied Army, 27 of them were wounded Japanese puppet soldiers, and our side was not killed or injured" The little young man covered in blood ran back, and the strong smell of blood on his body made the female students in the riverbed frown secretly.

"We are Thunder's mercenary troops, I am Zhao Zhi, now you can tell me about the situation on your path to the outskirts of Taiyuan City" The big man who had been sitting in the riverbed looked at Ma Liancheng, who had been bandaged by the ambulances, but the latter still looked at Zhao Zhi a little dumbfounded. Obviously, Ma Liancheng, along with the soldiers and students of the Eighth Route Army under him, had been frightened by the combat effectiveness of Zhao Zhi and his group, and more than a dozen people killed more than 100 Japanese puppet soldiers, and it only took four minutes.
