When the devil suddenly appeared around Nanma Village, the people in the village had not yet finished evacuating!

The order given the night before, because this is highly confidential, and the location and strength of the Japanese army have not yet been determined, so Yang Bangzi and Lao Feng told them to withdraw to the west platform of Dongdamao Mountain as soon as possible before dawn, he calculated according to the unhindered marching speed of the devils from the Great Wall to Nanmazhuang, and the ordinary devils have to walk for at least two whole days on this road of more than 100 miles, if Fan Daring can block the enemy for about half a day, it should be enough to leave ten hours for Nanmazhuang to evacuate.

However, Lao Feng and Gao Deputy Political Commissar, including Yang Bangzi, thought that the Japanese army's field troops were coming to attack and would not arrive immediately, so the evacuation work in Nanmazhuang was carried out step by step, evacuating the masses first at night, and at the same time, various organs and organizations were evacuating one after another, covering the troops and teaching the brigade to deploy outside the village.

Let's just talk about this common people, Nanmazhuang originally had 100 households, and the houses and courtyards were lined up from east to west between the northern slope and the Xihe river beach, and it was a long village, and after the 11 th Army sub-district moved the sub-district office here, the number of personnel increased by more than 1,000 at once, and the number of people in the special district administration office that followed it increased by nearly 2,000 people at once.

From the spring of 43 years, a lot of people and people who were evacuated from the enemy-occupied areas and Jizhong were placed one after another, and the population of the entire Nanmazhuang area increased to 7,000 at once, and the original Zhuangzi could not be arranged, Lao Feng and they opened up the land on the gentle slope of the northern foot of Xidamao Mountain opposite the river beach, and also built hundreds of adobe houses, there were more than 200 adobe grass houses in the water ditch, and more than 100 at the confluence of the Yulong River and the West River in the east.

The retreat began at the station at the fork of the Yulong River. It's past eight o'clock in the night. The sub-district offices and villagers stationed here lit torches and lanterns in groups and moved along the slopes of the mountain to the west platform, the highest peak of Damao Mountain in the southeast.

By midnight, this part of the personnel had almost evacuated with the villagers. As soon as the order to transfer was delivered, more than 2,000 people went to the fork in the river beach, and then went south to the ridge to Xitai.

In this part, the villagers accounted for more than half, and since more than half of the young and middle-aged people had been transferred to the east to participate in the war and had not yet withdrawn, most of the people who remained in Nanmazhuang were old and weak women and children, even with the help of our comrades. The speed of retreat is also very slow, people in the three places can't retreat at the same time, the mountain road to Xitai is not easy to walk, thousands of people are crowded on that road at once, and the speed of transfer is even slower!

The last team of more than 2,000 people also went up the mountain, and the central area of Nanmazhuang began to move, and it was almost five o'clock in the morning at this time, although the superiors did not clearly say where the devil had arrived and how many people came, but all the personnel were transferred to Xitai. Everyone understands that the devil must have arrived in the hinterland of the base area. Otherwise, it would not be possible to transfer like such a big move.

The villagers crossed the river and went up the mountain, and the sky was almost dawn, and when it was the turn of the rear recuperation, drama club, and other units to retreat, they crossed the river, and gunshots rang out in the west and north! The shells all hit Zhuangzili and the wooden bridge! At this time, there are still more than 1,000 people in the sub-district office in Zhuangzi who have not crossed the river!

Lao Feng was shocked when he heard the sound of gunfire, the devil came so fast! The gunfire is close! At most, two or three miles, at the bend of the river to the west, it should have been exchanged with the armed brigade of the prefecture administration, and the north was exchanged with the detachment of the teaching brigade on the west side of Beishanliang!

Hurry up, the intensity of this gunshot, the devil is indispensable! Lao Feng and Lao Gao immediately made a division of labor, and Deputy Political Commissar Gao led the teaching brigade to stay at the west end of Nanmazhuang, between the bend of the river and the mountain beam, sealing the north and south river beaches, and Lao Feng commanded all the personnel who were still in Zhuangzi to quickly cross the river and go up to Damao Mountain.

It was almost early winter in November, although the river was not deep, and the water surface was only a few dozen meters wide, but the river water was cold and biting, and the wooden bridge could go with two or three people at a time, and hundreds of personnel of the Eighth Route Army pulled up their trousers one after another, waded across the river, and only halfway through, on the slope of the ditch more than 400 meters away, the projectiles of machine gun bullets and grenadiers smashed over like hail!

In the blink of an eye, dozens of people were hit by bullets and shrapnel, and more than 10 guards of the sub-division organs on the south bank of the river who were covering the crossing of the river were also knocked down on the river beach by the devil's heavy machine-gun strafing and grenadier projectiles.

At the same time, more than 500 people from the rest house and drama club that had just crossed the river were also attacked from the valley in the south at the fork of the Yulong River.

Lao Feng and Yang Bangzi have experienced many battles together, and immediately thought that this was the devil's detour to outflank the retreat of Nanmazhuang, it seems that this group of devils is with the west and north, and they want to surround Nanmazhuang from three sides.

The situation immediately became serious! The evacuated troops were divided into two halves, and those who crossed the river were blocked by devils at the station at the fork of the Yulong River on the way to Xitai, and they could not return to Nanmazhuang, and more than 1,000 people in the village were also in danger of being surrounded, and these nearly 2,000 people had less than 400 guns, most of which were rear agency personnel with little combat effectiveness.

And what made Lao Feng's heart even more worried was that this way of devils was different from other devils who had fought before, and the movements were very fast, in just ten minutes, the guns and cannons in the west and north were closer than a mile, and they were more than a mile away from Zhuangzi.

Among the people who were intercepted in the station at the fork of the Yulong River, there were more than 100 female comrades, and there were only a few dozen of them with guns who followed these comrades, and they could never stop the devils' attack from the east and south, and at most retreated eastward along the river beach, but how could their speed get rid of these devils!

Seeing that the devils were about to rush down the ditch on the other side of the ditch, Lao Feng was anxious and asked someone to inform the senior deputy political commissar to withdraw the troops into Zhuangzi, use the courtyard to block the devils, and the other comrades all retreated to the west and went to Sandaoling!

He himself took the guards and dozens of personnel with guns, ran more than 100 meters downstream along the river beach, and immediately waded into the river, braving the artillery fire of the devils, trying to go to the fork of the Yulong River on the opposite bank to command the troops to evacuate!

How to say that Lao Feng is also the official political commissar of the division, Yang Bangzi carefully selected the guard squad that is matched, and the two guns can make two shell guns, and the establishment of twelve people is also equipped with two flower machine guns for the captured devil special combat team, thanks to these two flower machines, Lao Feng and they crossed the river, almost at the same time as the devils who rushed over from the ditch, they arrived at the slope of the Yulong River station, if it weren't for these two flower organs and dozens of long and short guns, they fired from the side, and the devils were caught off guard, and the devils on this road were going to rush up!

Temporarily suppressed the devils on the dry river, it seems that the number of devils on this road is about a squadron, Lao Feng thought about it, and asked the guard squad leader to lead the guard squad to guard on this ridge, and he took people to the slope to lead people to break through!

This camp is built under the earthen cliff, there are devils at the south entrance, and there are also devils at the west side, if you want to go back to Zhuangzi in the south to cross the river, you can only go east along the river beach first, Lao Feng let the people he brought with him block the devils in the adobe house at the south entrance, and he commanded hundreds of people to go down the soil ridge into the river beach.

After entering the river beach, the devil had already rushed in from the south entrance, and the more than 20 people who resisted the devil over there, Lao Feng, was estimated to have died! At this time, the guard squad also withdrew to the mouth of the river beach, and there were still six of the twelve people left, and those six were all sacrificed!

Tukanzi and the stone cliff on the bank of the river formed a rock bulge similar to a partition fan, Lao Feng and six soldiers were guarding here, and hundreds of retreating comrades behind him were stumbling and running eastward on the cobblestone river beach, all of them were comrades who had not experienced this kind of cruel battle, and they were furious when they heard the gunshots, not to mention that there were more than 100 female comrades, and they couldn't run fast!

Lao Feng glanced at the situation behind him a few times, turned his head and said to the guard: "The last one is left, and it has to last for twenty minutes!" After speaking, he looked at Zhuangzi on the north bank, the smoke of the shell explosion had risen in Nanmazhuang, and the sound of gunfire like popping beans resounded in the early morning sky on the mountain beams in the west and north, and the people who retreated eastward in black and blue ran on the hillside and river beach, and from time to time someone was hit by shrapnel after the explosion of the shell, rolled down the hillside, and fell into the river.
