Boom Boom Boom ...... The Japanese shelling continued, and as the follow-up troops arrived, the fire became more intense. Shells whistled in, fell to the ground and blossomed, blowing up the sand, gravel and mud on the river beach.

Many soldiers and civilians were blown up by the shells, and their stumps, broken arms and even their entire bodies were blown into the sky, and blood was scattered all over the river beach for a while.

The soldiers could only lie dead in the trenches that had just been dug out, not daring to move. In this case, it is useless for you to fight, you can only pray that the shells will not fall on you.

Deputy Brigade Commander Huang spat out a mouthful of mud and scolded angrily: "Damn, how did the little devil see through it? Say hit it, no sign at all! ”

Camp Commander Meng said anxiously: "Deputy seat, don't worry about how to see through it, we have to find a way to break out!" "If the devils are allowed to blow up like this, before the Japanese army crosses the river to attack, the second battalion will be blown up.

Rumble! Another heavy artillery shell flew, and the sound of the cannon made people's ears tingle, and they couldn't hear anything clearly. Deputy Brigade Commander Huang said, "What did you say? Rush out of the water? No, no! What if there is no one to guard the ferry and the devil crosses the river? ”

Battalion Commander Meng shouted: "Deputy seat, then you take the wounded and the people to withdraw first, and I will take the brothers to stay here!" ”

Deputy Brigade Commander Huang thought for a while, felt that the wounded and innocent people could not be sent to death, and said: "Okay! You take it first, and I'll bring someone back for reinforcements right away! ”

It was not easy to retreat at this time, the Xinxiang section of the Yellow River was no more than a kilometer wide, and the Japanese army had already set up crane guns on the other side of the river.

Several young men were frightened by the shelling just now. Jump out of the trench with a yelling and run. Battalion Commander Meng shouted anxiously from behind: "Get down, get down!" ”

But the explosion was so loud that the young men couldn't hear it at all, and even if they could, they probably wouldn't listen to him at this time. Da Da Da ...... Before they had run ten meters, they were spotted by the Japanese machine gunners, and several heavy machine guns opened fire at the same time, and the poor young men were beaten to a bloody pulp, and all of them died tragically on the river beach.

Deputy Brigade Commander Huang sighed and said, "Don't look at it, prepare to evacuate!" ”

The warriors glanced hatefully across the river. Start a race against time. They work in groups of three or five. Each group took a wounded man with them and quickly retreated using the reeds and sand dunes along the river as cover. Although it was hidden enough, it was impossible to completely escape the eyes of the Japanese on the river beach. As soon as there was movement, the heavy machine guns on the other side of the river immediately roared......

In Guantai Village. Duan Shuanghu had already ordered the troops to be withdrawn. In order to prevent Japanese shelling. The battalions retreated one after another. Only a small number of troops remained on the outpost to guard the remnants of the Japanese in the village.

Looking at the fierce artillery fire in the direction of the ferry, Duan Shuanghu was so anxious that he suddenly called the communications company commander. said: "Xiao Li, have you contacted Deputy Brigade Commander Huang?" ”

Company Commander Li said anxiously: "I can't get in touch, the phone line has been blown up, and the radio station has not responded!" ”

Duan Shuanghu was so angry that he threw the kettle on the ground and said, "What about Brigade Commander Zhao?" ”

Company Commander Li hurriedly said: "The brigade seat is still holding on to Caogang Township and waiting for reinforcements, it is said that the Japanese army is attacking fiercely, and the reinforcements from the military headquarters have not yet arrived!" ”

Duan Shuanghu thought for a moment and said, "It's useless to keep so many troops here, it's better to kill Hecun Dong first!" Notify the third battalion and immediately reinforce Caogang Township! ”

"Yes!" With an order, the third battalion left only one company in Xueguozhuang Village, and rushed to Caogang Township with all its main force.

In Caogang Township, the fighting has entered the white heat. Brigadier Zhao Yunxiang was forced to have no choice, so he had to go into battle in person and play with the little devil. The Japanese army saw that it was a big official and flocked to it. After a scuffle, the guards around him fell one after another, and he soon became a bare-bones commander.

Hi! Brigade Commander Zhao suddenly shouted, and with a knife in his head, he slashed off a Japanese officer's head and arms diagonally. Several Japanese soldiers in the vicinity were startled, howled and rushed forward with bayonets. Brigade Commander Zhao knocked the leftmost bayonet off with the back of his knife, and then slashed at another devil with a swing of the knife.

At the same time, two bayonets suddenly stabbed under the ribs, and Brigade Commander Zhao turned around the backs of the two devils, and then chopped them down with another knife. The rest of the devil was startled, and before he could react, he was stabbed to the ground by a warrior. Immediately afterwards, a large group of warriors rushed up and stabbed all the remaining devils to death.

The commander of the sixth battalion gasped loudly and said, "Brigade, you can scare me to death!" He was commanding the soldiers to fight desperately just now, and just drove the devil out of the position, but found that the brigade commander was already under siege, so he rushed up with the battalion headquarters guard platoon, and finally rescued Brigade Commander Zhao.

Zhao Yunxiang used a knife to hit the ground, spit bloody saliva, and scolded: "Damn, I haven't been active much in the past few years, and my skills have also been pulled down." If it was a few years ago, what were these little devils, and I still need your help? ”

He didn't say anything completely bragging, thinking that Brigade Commander Zhao was the champion of the 29th Army, and he won the first place in the Northwest Army, where almost everyone knew both, which shows that his kung fu is amazing. However, over the years, he has been pampered, and his skills have indeed been wasted a lot.

The commander of the sixth battalion looked at the brothers behind him and said worriedly: "Brigade, the brothers are almost unable to hold on, what do you think?" ”

Brigade Commander Zhao said: "Let the brothers hold on a little longer, the devil will not be able to do it, at this time it will be up to who can withstand it!" ”

"Onboard!" As soon as the words fell, the Japanese soldiers on the opposite side rushed up again with a wild roar.

Brigade Commander Zhao threw the knife halfway, picked up a crooked handle and shouted at the brothers: "Brothers, you have to die together, don't let people look down on you!" ”

The warriors stood up with their bodies bracked, almost all of them were wounded, and many of them were shaken by the tiger's mouths, but they wrapped themselves in cloths and stood up with their guns in their hands.

"Hohoo!" At that moment, the ground suddenly trembled rhythmically. Immediately afterward, a shout was heard from the northwest.

"Phew~ho!" A louder roar followed.

The soldiers of the two armies, who were about to fight, looked over in unison, only to see a night owl rushing over on a big black horse with a shiny saber. Behind him was even more black and pressed a large cavalry......

The captain of the third brigade, Genda Shaoza, was frightened and shouted in horror: "Bastard. Stop them! ”

The Japanese soldiers hurriedly turned around and tried to set up the defensive line, but it was too late, and before they could shoot the bullets, the bright swords had already slashed at the head.

Many of the little devils had their heads cut off as soon as they raised their rifles, and many more were knocked over and squeezed to the ground, and then hundreds of men and horses trampled over them.

"Hohoo!" A burst of kills.

"Ho-ho! Hohoo! "Second, third, fourth...... Bands of iron horsemen came and killed. The remnants of Gentian's men are like a small tree in the wind and rain, which has been knocked down again and again, and has been ravaged again and again......

Brigadier Zhao Yunxiang suddenly shouted and shouted, "Kill! The remnants of the six battalions struggled forward one by one. These devils are theirs, and no one can snatch them!

The night owl glanced back. Grinning: "Forget it." Let's go to Huihecun Dong again, don't want this little leftover! ”

The soldiers of the 10th Cavalry Regiment were arrogant and shouted: "Don't do it! "Brigade Commander Zhao and the soldiers of the sixth battalion almost died of anger when they heard this, but they have the grace to save their lives. Seizures must not occur. can only sprinkle all the anger on the devil.

Kawamura Dong with the brigade headquarters and the 4th Independent Brigade were still waiting for reinforcements in front. But the left couldn't wait, the right couldn't wait, and suddenly heard the neighing of the war horse from the side and rear, and realized that Lu Dao had been deceived. So he hurriedly led his troops over. The night owls here pounced westward after eliminating the Genda brigade, and the two armies just collided head-on.

"Hohoo!" The warriors shouted in unison, and rows of sabers were raised high, looking like a forest of knives from a distance.

Kawamura Dong was shocked and shouted hysterically: "Give a few presses!" ”

The Japanese soldiers also shouted: "Onboard! ”

Seeing that the officers and men of the two armies collided head-on like a stream of iron, the night owl suddenly whistled, and the cavalry charging at high speed suddenly flew into the left and right wings and rushed along the perimeter of the Japanese column. Most of the Japanese soldiers only noticed the front, but they didn't expect the saber to come from the flank, and a large piece was cut down at once.

Kawamura Dong watched the riding ten regiments slash all the way like peeling apples, and his eyes were so angry that a mouthful of blood spurted out. The surrounding soldiers were startled and hurriedly stepped forward to protect them.

Staff Officer Qingtian rushed over in a panic and shouted, "General, how are you?" ”

Kawamura Dong's face flushed, and he spit out another mouthful of blood, and said with difficulty: "Leave me alone, quickly command the troops to rush out!" It's good to join forces with Genda-kun! ”

Just when the Japanese army was in chaos, there was a sudden rush of horses' hooves from the west. Immediately afterwards, a large group of cavalry poured out, and one cavalryman was holding a large flag, which was the 11th Cavalry Regiment.

The regiment commander Xu Mingshan looked ahead, and saw that hundreds of Japanese soldiers were being slashed in the middle of the ten regiments of cavalry, and what was even better was that these devils were still facing away from them. How could such a good fighter be let go? He laughed and yelled, "Kill! ”

The soldiers of the 11th Cavalry Regiment roared and then quickly rushed forward. When the Japanese soldiers found out that there was also a cavalry behind them, they were scared one by one.

But at this time, it was too late to say anything, and the soldiers of the 10th Cavalry Regiment were passing quickly on the left and right, and there was no way to turn around and fortify. The 11th Cavalry Regiment took advantage of the situation to kill from behind, slashing left and right and quickly killing a bloody path.

Kawamura Dong heard the sound of shouting and killing from behind, and hurriedly struggled to look back, only to see a group of Japanese soldiers being trampled to the ground, and the heads of devils flew up, so angry that he screamed, and suddenly pulled out a knife and inserted it into his abdomen......

By the time the commander of the third battalion and his brothers rushed to Caogang Township exhausted, the fighting here had stopped. The sixth battalion commander grinned and said, "Brother, you are late, and the cavalry has done all the work!" ”

The third battalion commander sat on the ground and gasped, and said, "Damn, it's finally solved all the way!" ”

Brigade Commander Zhao was talking to Deputy Division Commander Duan on the radio, when he suddenly shouted at the soldiers: "Brothers, can you still fight?" ”

The warriors gritted their teeth and stood up and roared, "Yes! ”

Brigade Chief Zhao was overjoyed and said, "Good, good!" Clean up, let's go to Guantai Village and give this bastard Tufeiyuan a good look! ”

The commander of the sixth battalion hurriedly took the lead and shouted: "Capture the soil and fertilizer alive!" The soldiers shouted as well, and their morale quickly exploded.

The commander of the third battalion secretly asked, "Brigade seat, how is it in Guantai Village?" ”

Brigade Commander Zhao's face was a little gloomy, and he said, "The devil has already crossed the river, and the second battalion has been exhausted!" We have to avenge our brethren! ”

The commander of the third battalion and the commander of the sixth battalion felt pain in their hearts when they heard this, but they did not dare to make a sound, for fear of affecting their morale.

Brigade Commander Zhao then reduced the 3rd and 6th Battalions into a reinforced battalion, and cooperated with the cavalry to rush to Guantai Village, intending to give the Japanese troops crossing the river a head-on attack.

The troops were only halfway through when there was a sudden earth-shattering noise in front of them, which shook everyone's ears and made it impossible to hear anything. Immediately after that, a more dense and violent explosion came, and several burning iron barrels were suddenly blown into the air, and Guantai Village suddenly turned into a huge torch, and the flames that came out could be seen ten miles away.

Everyone was stunned, and even the horses screamed in fright. Brigade Commander Zhao's eyes widened and he said, "This, what's the situation?" (To be continued......)
