There is no way back from the north, south and east, and the choice in front of Shimizu Daizo is nothing more than two options, either rush north and fight a bloody way to join the Kato United, or hold on to the spot and wait for reinforcements, but these two options are almost impossible tasks for the current Shimizu United.

With these hundreds of remnants defeated, the ammunition is almost exhausted, the men and horses are tired, and the wounded soldiers are heavy, and it is no longer a special combat wing with 4,000 strong soldiers and horses. Qing Shui was saddened, and said to the several officers who were guarding him beside him, Go to the West Peak and hold on.

The peaks on both sides of Matou Pass, the east side is shorter, but the steeper, the west side of the mountain is large, the mountain is high, the cliffs on both sides, the west and the south are integrated arc-shaped slopes, Qing Shui wants to pull the troops up the mountain peak and then make plans, at the pass of Matou Pass, this is the belly and back of the enemy, there is no way to defend.

However, there are still small forces of the Eighth Route on the West Peak, and Qing Shui ordered the veterans of the original special operations team of the First Brigade and the First Squadron of the First Brigade that he relied on the most to send them to clear the Eighth Route on the peak first, and then hold on to the spot and wait for reinforcements.

There are not many veterans of the special combat team left, and when the base in Baoding was being trained, there were still more than 70 special combat personnel who were trained by Qing Shui at the earliest, and some of them were killed and disabled one after another, and some of them were retired one after another, and there are still more than 30 people, all of whom are organized into a separate machine gun squad of the first squadron, which is not used by the first-line troops, and Qing Shui also wants to keep these veterans.

Now it is not possible to let them go, hundreds of Japanese soldiers looked at the swarming Eighth Route Army, and they were already frightened, and at this moment it was only these dozens of veterans who could stabilize the morale of the army. So Qing Shui took the peak. The task of covering the whole team up the mountain was entrusted to them.

On the west peak were Yang sticks and half a platoon of the reconnaissance company. It turned out to be a platoon, and half of the people had been lost by the devil's artillery bombardment and heavy machine gun fire, and even Yang Stick counted less than twenty people, the little devil resisted the pursuit of the eight roads from the valley, and retreated to the mountain.

The people around him can resist for a while, and so many devils really want to fall down and come up next if they play with their lives. Even if you push hard, you can push it to the top of the mountain, this mountain is unobstructed, there is neither a water source nor a soil and stone for building a position, so it is simply given to the devils, Yang Stick ordered to leave two or three good marksmanship, long-range sniping under the devils, delaying their climbing speed, and the rest of the people are all climbing the stone wall and dragging the bushes down the mountain from the north side of the cliff.

Qing Shui thought that this western mountain peak would have to go through a fierce battle to take it, and he was organizing people to resist the attack of the Eighth Route along the slope on the west side of the pass, and he felt very difficult. There was not enough ammunition, and heavy weapons were discarded. Just two light machine guns could barely hold down the position, and finally brought the eight-way counterattack entangled with the rearguard troops back down the slope, and the first squadron reported that the top of the mountain had been taken!

Immediately give the order to the whole army to go up the mountain! More than 500 devils hulala retreated to the west mountain, the defeat was like a mountain, the soldiers were not stupid, a look at the retreat was blocked, the road in front of them was also blocked, the eight roads were more and more gathered, everyone knew that they might not be able to escape, and now they are like no flies, numbly climbing up the mountain, as if as long as they are far away from the eight roads, this heart can live in peace.

Looking at Matouguan from afar, it is not like a horse's head, but like a saddle, the two ends are high and the middle is low, the two peaks of this thing are not lonely is a mountain that abruptly rises, it is the natural pass formed by the east and west two mountain beams stretching to Matouguan, and the top of the mountain can also see the remnants of the stone wall built when the ancient soldiers were stationed.

The main reason why Yang Bangzi didn't stay on the West Peak was that there were few people and the ammunition was running out, how long could twenty people stop hundreds of devils? It's better to put the devil up the mountain, this is not the same as that in Longmen Village, the devil who has reached the top is difficult to fly!

By the afternoon, the 20th Regiment, the 178th Regiment and other units had all arrived, Yang Bangzi saw that these soldiers and Liang Tianzhu, Liu Da Ass and others, the military uniforms were tattered and smoky, no need to ask, these are all dead people rolling out, the casualties of the troops Yang Bangzi was also in a heavy mood after listening to the report, these regiments were all disabled!

Annihilated 10,000 enemies and lost 3,000 themselves, but in this kind of encirclement and annihilation battle with the devils, it was almost reversed, and the Qingshui Wing was beaten to the point that there were only a few hundred people left on the mountain, and two or three thousand devils were killed, but Yang Bangzi calculated according to the rough statistics of each regiment, and the battle losses of the troops were at least more than 5,000 people.

Liu Dabutt reported that a small regiment had been broken up and replenished into the 17th and 18th regiments, and in this way, the combat effectiveness of the two regiments was also very worrisome at present, and the troops were very tired from continuous combat, and after the bloody battle, the cadres were completely lost, although each regiment was replenished with several hundred people, the overall combat effectiveness was not half of what it was before the war.

The situation of the 20th Regiment was slightly better, although it did not fight a tough battle like the 17th Regiment, but the encounter in the field was not easy, and they were the first to fight against the Qingshui Wing in Nandaozui, and the combat personnel were also reduced by one-third in general.

Yang Bangzi did not engage in self-centeredness, and did not distinguish between the 11th and 6th divisions, and ordered the small regiment that arrived from Liu Zhuang to be dismantled, and all of them were added to the 178th and 2nd regiments, so that the troops could rest while reorganizing and besieging the devils, and the 20th regiment had its own old foundation, so that the newly merged troops of the 20th regiment could not make the newly merged troops feel that they were outsiders, so the 20th regiment would not replenish people, and after the war, the special training camp and the teaching brigade would all be reorganized together.

The redeployment was that the 17th Regiment was on the west side, deployed along the mountain beams and valleys, blocking the way for the devils to flee west. The 18th Regiment was in the north, and the local militia who had rushed from Hongshi Lengzi were deployed to block the way of the devils to the north, and the 20th Regiment was on the south and east sides of Matouguan, and another battalion and the rest of the reconnaissance company were drawn out to confront the devils on the mountain, and the camera attacked the devils, so as not to let them be too idle.

It is said that Yang Bangzi should strike while the iron is hot, and rush up the mountain with the thousands of people in his hands now, and finish the remnants of the Qingshui Wing, and worry about it as soon as possible, but fighting is not a good family, as soon as he says that the war is over, the devil will be eliminated, Yang Bangzi is now the commander of a military division, he can't shake his family foundation clean!

The cruelty of the battle is unimaginable, the bloody battle of the 17th and 18th regiments in Nandaozui is an understatement from the mouths of Liu Da Ass and several regimental and battalion-level cadres, Yang Bangzi can imagine how hard the battle was, for example, take the captured radio station as an example, more than a dozen soldiers were sacrificed for a radio station!

The 3rd Brigade and part of the 2nd Brigade led by the adjutant general of the Shimizu Wing had two radio stations at that time, one followed the adjutant general, and later, after the lieutenant commander of Beishiba was killed in battle, several officers and soldiers carrying the radio station retreated to the stone cave on the bank of the river, and after the breakthrough was hopeless, they blew up the radio station with a grenade before committing suicide one after another.

When the leader of a squadron guarding the third line position led his subordinates to prepare to go to the north, he could not retreat and was blocked by the 17th Regiment in the stone trough under the bank of the West River, and could not get out.

The little devil desperately repelled the many attacks of the Eighth Route Army, but he also suffered heavy losses, and only a few of the dozens of people remained, but the second battalion of the seventeenth regiment finally took the stone trough under the long-fortified riverbank, and the platoon commander of the fifth company of the second battalion rushed to the front To his great surprise, only more than thirty corpses and a Japanese soldier who ran out of bullets were left on the entire devil position!

The Japanese soldier looked very young, like an immature teenager, and his face was covered in mud as he leaned against a stone wall stained with blood and mud; He trembled all over, his legs were blurred with blood and flesh as if he had been seriously wounded, and he saw the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army rushing into the stone trough, his eyes full of hatred and fear, and his mouth let out a strange cry of 'wah-wow-wow'.

Seeing that this devil didn't have a gun in his hand, the platoon commander said, 'Don't shoot'!! He's out of bullets! Capture him alive!' The Japanese soldier was still 'gurgling' something in his mouth, as if he was desperate before being captured, but no one in our Eighth Route Army could understand it, because there was no Japanese translation in ordinary companies.

'Platoon commander! There's a radio station behind him! I only heard someone shouting excitedly, and at first glance, it was true, the sky line came out from behind this little devil. And at this moment, the little devil's two hands touched behind him, and a grenade grabbed it in his hand and pulled out the pin! Our platoon commander was just about to dodge and dodge, when he saw this little devil throw the grenade towards the soldiers, reached out and took out another grenade, pulled out the pin, and held it in his hand!

This guy is going to kill himself! The grenade that was thrown over was emitting green smoke, and it was about to explode, and the place in the stone trough was too small, and more than a dozen soldiers rushed in at once, and they couldn't hide!

And the platoon commander slammed over and snatched the grenade in his hand with the devil, it doesn't matter if the little devil is dead, as soon as the grenade explodes, the radio station behind him will be finished! But the little devil was clenched so tightly that he couldn't grab it, and with a bang, the first grenade exploded! A huge shock wave and sound wave filled the entire stone trough at once, and the platoon commander desperately pushed the little devil more than a meter away, and pounced himself on the radio station placed under the stone wall!

The devil was blown into pulp, and the platoon commander was also seriously injured and died, and nine of the soldiers who rushed in were also killed and seriously injured by the flying shrapnel, which means that it took ten lives for this radio station to get back. (To be continued......)
