At this time, hundreds of forwards of the 2,000 Japanese troops who drove from Luquan were already under the leadership of a Japanese lieutenant, followed by Ergou and Da Ma Monkey, and had already arrived at the place where Qiao Youhua and them were hiding before.

Looking at the empty woods, a devil second lieutenant roared angrily at Ergou and the big horse monkey: "Baga, there is no one here at all, and the drop of Tubalu is gone?" How dare you lie and deceive the Imperial Army? ”

The second dog and the big horse monkey were so frightened that their faces turned green, and they hurriedly pounced and knelt on their knees.

shook his head again and again: "No, no, Taijun Mingjian!" Even if the little ones eat the ambition, the leopard dare not lie and deceive the imperial army! ”

The Japanese lieutenant who led the team walked under a big tree, observed it, stood up and raised his hand to stop the second lieutenant's roar, and said: "They are not lying, there are obviously people here, and there are definitely more than a few, look at the bushes and grass here, there are obvious traces of trampling!" ”

The devil lieutenant took a closer look and nodded: "The chief is right, then what should we do next?" ”

"Aren't they the Imperial Association Army in Magou Town, let's go to Magou Town and camp in Magou Town first, and then send scouts to search for the whereabouts of Tubalu." Lieutenant Devil thought for a while and said, "Send someone to inform Your Excellency the Captain that Tubalu has escaped, and we will go to Magou." ”

Feiyunling Battlefield.

As the Japanese attack was repulsed again, the fierce battle finally stopped temporarily, and in front of the entire main position, the Japanese soldiers were killed and wounded, and the corpses were strewn all over the field.

The casualties of the defenders were also quite large, especially the guerrillas brought by Zhou Dasheng, because there was still a certain gap between their tactical level and the battle-hardened dragon tooth veterans, and they didn't know how to better dodge the guns and bullets in the battle, so the personnel had been sharply reduced from more than 500 people at the beginning, and now it has been sharply reduced to 300 people.

Almost half of the casualties were imposed.

After organizing troops to transport the soldiers in their hands to the mountain for treatment, Guo Meng had time to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and Zhou Dasheng was a little worried: "Chief, why hasn't Chief Qiao brought reinforcements back, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold out for long." ”

After all, more than half of the casualties of his subordinates were brought, and such a large casualty made Zhou Dasheng, the captain of the county brigade, a little drummed in his heart.

Guo Meng said: "Don't worry, Commander Qiao will definitely bring reinforcements back, and the victory must belong to us." The pressure they face is not less than ours, don't you notice, although the devil's attack seems to be more and more fierce every time, but in fact, it has some meaning of the end of the crossbow. ”

Jiang Haidong walked over with a 38 big cover and said with a smile: "Political Commissar Guo is right, in the past few days, although our casualties are not laughing, the casualties of the devils are even greater!" With such a large casualty and a long time to attack, the Japanese are also holding on to the death, and their morale and the feelings of the soldiers are now very low.

Continue to persevere, the victory will definitely belong to us, because our rear is stable, and they are different, Commander Qiao led a full regiment of troops to attack everywhere in their rear, and the little devil just wanted to sleep peacefully It became a luxury. ”

After speaking, Jiang Haidong patted Zhou Dasheng on the shoulder and said: "Captain Zhou, your mood is understandable, but please believe that as long as we stick to it, we will definitely win and avenge those comrades who sacrificed."

The troops are gone, and they can be pulled up again in the future, but if people have no soul and no seed, then life is better than death.

Little Japan wants to annihilate our Chinese nation, and we have no choice or retreat for this war, and all we can do is to fight back, nothing else.

Just for the sake of our children and grandchildren not to be slaves to the Japanese, we must survive and fight to the end with little Japan!

To put it mildly, we have 40,000 compatriots in China, but how many people are there in Little Japan? With this kind of battle we have been fighting in the past few days, this kind of exchange is not too much, it only takes a hundred more times, and the little devil will be completely finished.

In a word, no matter how big the casualties are, no matter how heavy the losses are, we can fight hard, we can afford to consume, and the little devil can't afford to fight! ”

Zhou Dasheng was in awe, and stepped forward and said: "Battalion Commander Jiang, I really didn't expect that you not only have good marksmanship, but also no worse than the head of the political commissar when you talk about it.

If nothing else, but for the brothers who died in battle! ”

…………

Outside the Feiyunling Mountain, the former enemy headquarters of the 12th Mixed Brigade.

A Japanese soldier reported the battle to Ichiro Kato and said: "Your Excellency, this is the 21st failure of our attack, and the Imperial Army has lost 200 killed and 180 wounded in this battle, and with the previous battle, our number of casualties has exceeded one and a half brigades.

The number of wounded has reached more than 1,000, of which more than 300 have lost their combat effectiveness.

And that's not counting the previous battle losses from the forest brigade and when we fought with the Shina for the first line of outer defense, if you add them all.

Three of the eight brigades of our 12th Mixed Brigade have been killed and two have been wounded, and the casualty rate has reached 70 percent.

In a sense, we have lost our combat effectiveness. ”

Kato Ichiro's face was very ugly, and he waved his hand to stop the young officer's intention to continue, and asked, "You just said, how many soldiers do we have left now?" ”

The devil Shaozuo hurriedly bowed his head and replied: "Before the humble duty was finished just now, one of the eight brigades of combat troops, one of which was a cavalry brigade, had been ambushed by the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army in the area of Shimen, and the whole army was wiped out.

Excluding the casualties of the five brigades just counted, we have a total of four brigades left, half of which were wounded in different ways.

If you don't count the two artillery brigades, there are still about 4,000 total troops, but these 4,000 are not four complete brigades, but the remnants of each brigade, and basically all the brigade formations have been disabled. ”

"Four thousand? Half of them were injured in different ways! Ichiro Kato's face was pale with weakness, and the brigade commander had also been killed in the attack, and the 12th Mixed Brigade, which was originally close to more than 10,000 combat troops, could indeed be said to be disabled.

"Sir, what are we going to do next? Is it to stop the offensive and withdraw to Luquan to rest? Japanese soldier Shaozo asked.

Ichiro Kato immediately jumped up as if he was a cat whose tail had been stepped on: "Retreat? No! We can't retreat, having paid such heavy casualties, retreating at this time, what awaits us will be the most severe punishment from the front command!

The casualties of the imperial army are so large, the casualties of the people of China will definitely not be small, the next round of support from the air force is coming, you go and organize the troops, and with the cover of this air attack, we will strike with all our might, and strive to take the position of the people of China in one fell swoop, and completely win the victory of this battle! ”
