It is said that the moment when human beings can feel the coming of fear the most is when they are isolated and helpless, when a person does not get any help, when he can't see any friends and relatives, I am afraid that it is also the most desperate time, and knowing that there are assassins around the road, danger exists all the time, but he can't predict where the danger will come from, this fear is more distracting than the fear of being isolated!

The remnants of the Yazaki Brigade in the Broken Beam Valley, at this moment, are this kind of cold fear that is numb from the soles of their feet to their scalps, and in the dense fog that gathers and disperses, there are obviously soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, but they can't see or hear, and when they consciously feel that the enemy appears, it is often either bullets or bayonets and machetes, the distance is too close! The kind of hedging on the normal battlefield when you can see each other's reactions doesn't work at all here!

Captain Yazaki still has a strong psychological quality, and immediately called the soldiers to his side, crowded back to back, retreated to the mountain beam, and ordered all the guns that could still fire bullets, do not stop shooting in the direction where the enemy may attack, whether he has anyone or not, shoot first!

In this way, these Japanese soldiers were still frightened from time to time by the screams and cries for help that suddenly sounded around them, and the whistle of sharp bullets piercing the air and the short and dull sound of grenades exploding in the vicinity were like the sound of human skin drums in the hands of the god of death, shaking the eardrums and hearts of the Japanese soldiers!

Hearing the gunshots getting closer and closer, the roars of the people during the assassination fight, and the screams of the dying people, Captain Yazaki had always had a calm face, and he could no longer hold back the fear that came from the depths of his heart. Cold sweat trickled down the back of his neck and into his uniform. The shirt made of cotton was soaked and clung to the flesh. It's getting more and more uncomfortable.

Shot in the leg and insisting on following the retreating adjutant commander, at this time pulled Captain Yazaki aside, and whispered to Captain Yazaki to take a few soldiers to go first from other directions.

Yazaki thought about it, and he had to do this, so he had to take his own guards. Holding a compass, he took refuge in a ditch overgrown with shrubs and weeds that loomed in the mist.

The fog was too great, and the two companies of the three battalions that had caught up fanned down to the west, not noticing that three or four devils had burrowed into a ditch under the mountain beam, and they were now following the devil team in front.

The two sides fought through the fog until the devils rose under their feet and went up the mountain beam, and at this time there were only a dozen soldiers still around the adjutant, and the others were either killed or scattered, and the sound of gunfire from far and near kept coming. The dozen or so Japanese soldiers around the adjutant chief basically didn't have a single bullet.

Just now, a cold bullet hit the adjutant in the shoulder again. There was no time to bandage, the broken uniforms could not hide the wounds that were still bubbling out of the blood, the adjutant sat down beside a stone, and said to the soldiers, go west and go by yourself, if you can escape, you will escape, and if you can't escape, you will commit suicide, and don't be a prisoner!

After speaking, he took out his pistol and put the barrel into his mouth, and before the other soldiers could react, he pulled the trigger, and with a muffled sound, the adjutant of the Yazaki brigade was killed.

A Japanese soldier took off his shirt and covered his face for the adjutant, and the only remaining soldier took out all the documents and belongings in the adjutant's pocket, untied his document bag and gun holster, and then bowed, the gunfire behind him was getting closer and closer, and there was no way to bury the body of the adjutant, so he had to hurriedly cross the mountain beam and flee westward.

The sun rose and the sun was shining, and soon the clouds and mist between the mountains slowly dispersed, and on the way back, the soldiers of the 3rd Battalion, who had been chasing the mountain beams, found the corpse of a Japanese officer sitting next to the bluestone on the top of the beam, and mistook it for the corpse of Captain Yazaki.

The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army were not bad, after collecting the weapons and equipment of the soldiers who died in the Japanese army, they got the corpses of the Japanese soldiers found in the area of the broken beam under an earthen beam, piled them together, chiseled off the soil on the earthen beam and buried the corpses, and carved the words on the stones, simply put, 94 Japanese corpses were buried here.

Captain Yazaki and the three guards have been hiding in the small dirt ditch and did not come out, the fog has dispersed and has not come out, until the sun is overhead, send a guard out of the city to take a look, confirm that the eight roads have withdrawn, then climb the ditch, and then run west, in the earth beam to see the eight roads carved on the stone words, Yazaki captain stood silently for a minute, instructed his subordinates, remember the location, in the future must come to collect the body!

The rescue troops from Shichengdun also accelerated their march after the fog cleared, and finally saw the first batch of Japanese soldiers who fled back at 11 o'clock at noon, that is, the dozen or so people who followed the adjutant commander, they did not know the whereabouts of Captain Yazaki, and the commander of the rescue team ordered to attack in the direction of Broken Beam Ditch!

Before he arrived at the Broken Beam Ditch, he met Captain Yazaki and his subordinates, and so far, more than 1,000 people from the Yazaki Brigade from Shuibao Township have been contained by the rescue team from Captain Yazaki below, and there are only 19 people left!

Victory on all fronts on the Western Front! The battle lasted 24 hours, of which 14 hours were the battle for the small gutter between the enemy and us, and the 181 soldiers of the 1st company of the special training battalion who were ordered to hold the position at the mouth of the small gutter lost a total of 114 people, from the deputy company commander and instructor down, a total of 114 people were killed, 28 people were seriously wounded, 39 people were lightly wounded, and not a single survivor of the whole company was not injured!

The casualties of the 1st and 2nd Battalions, which served as the main attack on the devil's position, were all over 40 percent, and the commanders and fighters of the third battalion who sacrificed their lives made a total of 476 casualties, 155 seriously wounded, and minor injuries were not counted.

According to the statistics on the battlefield, together with the 95 people who were mistakenly thought to be the corpses of Yazaki's adjutant commander, a total of 983 people were annihilated in the Battle of Xiaotiangou, 101 people were captured, 4 infantry guns, 8 mortars, 9 heavy machine guns, 22 light machine guns, more than 500 rifles, and countless other materials such as bullets were captured.

In order to prevent the Japanese army from sending planes to bomb Xiaotiangou and other places, after cleaning the battlefield. The troops quickly retreated to the southeast of Yinfang Town.

The old blind man still doesn't know what to do. In the morning they were most rearly surrounded by the remnants of the Japanese army in the northeast corner of the basin. Yang Bangzi is anxiously waiting for them to come back soon! No one thought that the other brigade of the devils who had been standing still in Heiyaogou did not go west to meet the Yazaki brigade, but at dawn, the whole army went out and went south to Yinfang Town!

The devil that Yang Bangzi has always judged is nothing more than two choices, one is to go west to rescue the Yazaki Brigade, and the other is to go north to Lianggang to open up the passage with the 224th Wing. He calculated that the devil would not dare to come south to his Yinfang Town, because the devil also knew the importance of Yinfang Town to the Eleventh Division, which must be heavily defended, and there would be no good fruit to eat.

But the captain of this brigade in Heiyaogou is called Takeyama Uchiyuki, who is dull and dull, usually taciturn, and doesn't like to deal with people, so he is in his forties, don't look at it, he also graduated from the army non-commissioned officer school, and he stopped in the position of Zhongzuo for six years.

Katsume Daisa of the 222nd Wing looked at this senior differently and asked Takeyama out of the garrison. Let him lead a brigade of his own wing, as it turns out. This Zhushan man is Mune, but his performance on the battlefield is indeed very extraordinary, the soldiers brought out by Zhushan are determined, carry out orders to the letter, and will not be defeated psychologically easily.

This is the same in the army and in society, there are people who can be clever and flattering, and there are people who can create an atmosphere to play flowers, but there must be no shortage of boring people to do real work, and those who are stupid and stupid may not be likable, but there is always no shortage of this kind of boring work, this Zhushan Zhongsa is this kind of person.

When the Yazaki brigade was besieged, Katsume's misjudgment was wrong, he thought that the Eighth Route was an old trick to use their encirclement to send reinforcements, and wanted to feint against the Yazaki troops, so as to lure out the Takeyama brigade in the black kiln ditch, and then ambush the Takeyama troops in the mountain battle.

Therefore, Katsumu Osa thought that the Eighth Route did not dare to make up his mind to eat Yazaki's troops, so he ordered Yazaki to resist with all his might, and sent troops from Laiyuan County to respond, while the Zhushan troops inserted into the black kiln ditch did not move, Katsume Osa had other arrangements for Zhushan, and he had two expectations for the Zhushan troops, one was to open up the communication line from Fugang to Yinfang Town, and the other was to wait for an opportunity to capture Yinfang Town.

But the change in the battle situation is too unexpected, and the siege of Yazaki's brigade by the Eighth Route is not a feint! By the time Katsume realized that he had made a mistake in his judgment early in the morning, the Yazaki brigade had been forced to the northeast corner of the basin, and the remnants of the army were defeated.

However, Captain Katsume still didn't let the Takeyama troops go west to rescue the rest of the Yazaki Brigade, and he understood that even if the Takeyama troops fell over at this time, they would not be able to save the rout of the Yazaki Brigade, so after thinking about it, Katsume's order to Takeyama to attack Ginfang Town! Katsume judged that the Eighth Route besieging the Yazaki Brigade must have started from Ginbo Town, and that it must be the front base of the Eighth Route, and instead of saving Yazaki, it was better to attack the rear base of the Eighth Route!

One of the people in Zhushan received the order to attack, and immediately assembled the troops, and in less than ten minutes, they were assembled, and took advantage of the vast white fog to quietly go out of the black kiln ditch.

Zhushan usually administers the army very strictly, when going out to carry out combat missions, no matter where they rest and sleep, the soldiers are undressed and do not leave their guns, the rain and the air are humid in the past two days, and the soldiers of the Zhushan unit have to wipe their guns two or three times a day!

Originally, there were several groups of our army's reconnaissance posts and small detachments in Heiyaogou, but because the fog was too big, the devils did not start from the Zhengcun entrance of Heiyaogou, and went around to the main road from Tuliangzi in the east, and several groups of reconnaissance posts did not find that the devils in the village had been pulled out!

When it was almost noon, the sun came out, and when the clouds cleared and the fog cleared, the militia on guard on the highway found that along the avenue, the black-pressed devil team actually drove over, less than ten miles away from Yinfang Town!

When Yang Bangzi received the news that the devils of the brigade were coming, he was like a normal person, and his back was soaked in a cold sweat! The little devil also gave him a siege to save Zhao! At this time, in Yinfang Town, the wounded who were transferred from the Xiaotiangou battlefield were being treated in the first aid station, and the transport team composed of ordinary people was also transporting the materials seized after cleaning the battlefield here, and the town was very busy.

At this time, the devil suddenly arrived, and Yang Bangzi gave almost all the combat troops to the old blind man! The only soldiers he could use now were his guard company, a county brigade, and some guerrilla units composed of some militia, and there were only three or four hundred people who could fight at full capacity.

And the information that came back urgently said that there were at least more than 1,000 devils, which means that the devils in Heiyaogou were dispatched! According to the devil's footsteps, this alarm should have arrived two hours ago! Why is it only being delivered now, what are the scouts who are monitoring the black kiln ditch doing!

Yang stick is angry! What a delay in the absence of these two hours of warning time! (To be continued......)
