The 769 Regiment naturally would not let go of such a good opportunity, and Regiment Commander Chen immediately ordered to cooperate with the friendly forces on the fort wall to attack, not giving the devils a chance to counterattack the fort wall. At this time, although the remnants of Izawa were still resisting, they suffered heavy casualties. If it weren't for Wu Quanfu's men's marksmanship being too rough, I'm afraid that the devil would have collapsed long ago. Therefore, as soon as the Eighth Route rushed, the forward positions of the Japanese army were lost one after another.

The captain of the pig mouth squadron found Izawa Nakasa and said, "Captain, the attack of the people is too fierce, and if you don't evacuate, all the jade will be shattered here!" ”

Staff officer Tian Chengyou also strongly persuaded Izawa to lead his troops to "move in" in order to preserve his vitality.

Izawa had already asked the wing headquarters for "tactical guidance" before, hoping to hold on a little longer, so he said: "Gentlemen, the reinforcements of His Excellency the Wing Commander are almost here, as long as we ......"

In the middle of the sentence, a mortar shell hit the vicinity, killing several soldiers in the brigade headquarters on the spot. It's a pity that it's a little off, otherwise it would have been beheaded directly.

Jing Ze's face was a little ugly, and he knew that he couldn't hold it anymore, so he had to change his words: "As long as we go south with all our strength, we will definitely be able to break out of the encirclement!" ”

Under Izawa's command, the Japanese launched a counterattack with superior firepower, and then quickly broke through to the south. The Japanese officers and soldiers all knew that this was a battle for survival, so they attacked very fiercely. In the art of war, it is said that the master should not be stopped, which refers to this situation.

A signal corpsman ran to report: "Regiment commander, the commander of the third battalion requests reinforcements!" ”

Commander Chen said: "Notify the three battalions, open the passage, and occupy the two compartments!" ”

The 3rd Battalion quickly gave way to the passage and took control of the heights on both sides, preparing to flank the Japanese from both flanks while the Japanese broke through. However, the Japanese quickly saw through this plan, and they divided one division to capture a high ground, and then counter-suppressed the 769 divisions. Due to the ferocity of the devil's automatic fire, the 769th Regiment had to abandon the plan of flanking attack and instead pursue with Ouroboros.

When the soldiers and civilians on the fort wall saw the devil fleeing, they all exclaimed: "Oh no, the devil has escaped!" "They all asked to go out of the fort and pursue. The villagers all said that it was not so easy to kill so many people and still want to run! Wu Quanfu was not good at going against the wishes of the people, so he rushed out with the soldiers and civilians. The soldiers and civilians of the Fourth District hated devils deeply, and chased them all the way out of the fort gate. Li Dazhuang was also infected by this enthusiasm for killing the enemy, and rushed forward with a loud roar.

The 769 regiment sent a liaison officer who just wanted to come forward to talk to the soldiers and civilians, but he didn't have time to catch up, so he had to run back with a wry smile and report: "Regiment commander, political commissar, the soldiers and civilians here have all chased the devils, and that battalion commander Li also rushed up with them." They turned around but couldn't find their chief. ”

Regiment Commander Chen looked at the murderous soldiers and civilians greedily, couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and said, "What a good soldier! If only ......"

The political commissar smiled: "Lao Chen, don't think about it." This time, Zheng Weiguo specially asked that he not be allowed to recruit troops on his territory. ”

Head Chen scolded with a smile: "This Zheng Weiguo, what a fucking stinginess!" Our 129th Division dispatched three main regiments, and we were reluctant to recruit a single soldier. ”

The political commissar shook his head and said: "You can't say that, the military expenses have actually been advanced a long time ago." For now, let's find a way to solve this remnant enemy! ”

After a slight adjustment, the 769th Regiment was divided into three batches to pursue the Japanese army in turn, in order to replace the soldiers and civilians of the 4th District, which had insufficient strength.

The soldiers and civilians of the fourth district can fight to the death with the devils in the narrow terrain of the fort with their enthusiasm, but it is not enough to see it in such an open place in the wild. The devils resisted one after another, evacuated in batches, and turned southward in an orderly manner, not at all looking at the peasants who had just picked up swords and guns and had not yet learned to fight. The soldiers and civilians were so angry that they screamed, but they had no choice but to watch them flee.

Fortunately, the 769 regiment followed in time. With the addition of this regular army, the remnants of the Japanese army will no longer be able to play sequential resistance. The Eighth Route Army was biting the troops behind the Devil's Palace, and at the same time dividing its troops to outflank it. If the Japanese troops did not evacuate, there would be a danger of total annihilation. After coming like this several times, the Japanese army was never able to get rid of the 769th Regiment, and the troops behind the palace were repeatedly hit hard.

Seeing that successive resistance was useless, the Japanese army changed another method. They gathered forces as they retreated, and when the 769th Regiment was in hot pursuit, they suddenly launched a fierce counterattack. The soldiers were chasing after them, and they refused to show weakness at the moment, so they fought hard with the devils.

After Regiment Commander Chen arrived with the command organs, he hurriedly ordered all units to disengage from the Japanese army. After receiving the order, the battalions and companies of the 769th Regiment quickly retreated, but the Japanese could not catch up and had to give up.

Wu Quanfu was a little puzzled and asked, "Commander Chen, if the devils don't escape, they just want to eliminate them, why should we retreat?" ”

Li Dazhuang smiled on the side and said nothing.

Head Chen glanced at Wu Quanfu and said with a smile: "What? Didn't your brigade commander teach you? ”

Wu Quanfu blushed and said, "We also have a tactical class." However, I stayed in the fourth district for a long time, and I had time to study a lot of time. ”

Seeing that he was honest, Captain Chen didn't make fun of him anymore, and patiently explained the reasoning. Wu Quanfu listened to it with pleasure and sincerity, and nodded incessantly.

As he spoke, the devil retreated again. The 769 regiment quickly followed, chasing the devil's ass and beating it violently. The devil had no choice but to launch a counterattack again. But as soon as they counterattacked, the Eighth Route Army immediately retreated, and there was no intention of responding to the battle at all. Now it's the devil's turn to scream in anger.

However, the devil's tactical ability is really strong, and he quickly found a way to deal with it. They quickly divided a reinforced squad to occupy a small high ground and brought infantry guns and two heavy machine guns up.

The Eighth Route Army lacked heavy weapons and had a weak ability to attack fortifications, so it was really difficult for the devils to do this. Commander Chen thought for a while and said, "Battalion Commander Wu, I'm afraid I need your help now." ”

Wu Quanfu hurriedly said: "Head Chen, you give an order!" As long as it is a fight against devils, the military and civilians of our four districts will have nothing to say. ”

Head Chen smiled: "I'm not asking you to charge. You know the geography of the area, right? ”

Wu Quanfu was a little embarrassed and said, "I don't know very well. But my brothers know it! ”

Head Chen breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good! ”

The 769th Regiment left a company here to pull the devils on the hill, and the main force bypassed this hill under the leadership of the fighters of the 2nd Independent Battalion. Most of the security regiment went after the main force of the devil, but Li Dazhuang took a fancy to the cannon and stayed to deal with this group of remnants.

After running wildly, the 769th Regiment caught up with the devil again. Jing Ze really had no choice but to throw a squad to block desperately, and then the whole army fled, and the remaining Type 92 infantry cannon was also thrown into the ditch by them after the shells were fired. Without this heavy guy, the devils ran fast one by one.

The Eighth Route Army happily dragged the cannon up, but when they checked it, they found that the internal parts had been blown up by the devils, and they were so angry that they scolded. Among them, Chief Chen was the most angry, which surprised Wu Quanfu, who just felt that he was very kind.

The political commissar smiled: "Battalion Commander Wu, I have never seen such a hot person!" ”

Wu Quanfu was also happy, and said: "I've seen a lot of angry people, but this face has become too fast!" ”

Several nearby Eighth Road comrades also laughed when they heard this, and they didn't seem to be very afraid of Commander Chen, or they had already figured out his temper.

Commander Chen felt that he was being teased by the devil, and personally led the troops to catch up. The devil really had no choice, so he left another detachment and used the last two heavy machine guns in an attempt to buy time for the remnants to escape.

Izawa chose this terrain very well, and it was difficult to get around. Even if you can get around, it will take a lot of time, and the daylily will be cold by then. Regiment Commander Chen hurriedly ordered the mortars to be brought up, and all battalions and companies rested on the spot. Finally, when the mortar was raised, the gunner reported: "Regiment commander, what are you calling me to do, the shells have long been gone!" ”

Head Chen was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and said, "Who approved you to shoot light?" Why don't you report it early? ”

The gunner said aggrievedly: "Regiment commander, what you said is not right! I played a little too much today, didn't you let me hit it? I wanted to report to you, but as soon as I put away the cannon, you all ran away. Forehead ......"

When the 129th Division crossed the Yellow River, there were a total of six mortars, and the three main regiments were assigned two each. However, there were very few shells, so they were reluctant to prepare with artillery fire when attacking the South Gate position before. Of course, if artillery preparations had been used at that time, and the devils would have been bombarded in advance before attacking, maybe they would have completely annihilated this group of devils. This also reflects from the side that the Eighth Route Army's application and understanding of artillery is still relatively backward.

Hearing that the gunner was going to continue, Commander Chen interrupted him angrily and said, "Okay, okay!" Mother's Xipi, how can you fight without a cannon? ”

At this time, the women's team came up, and Chen Wanchun said, "Commander Chen, let us try it!" "Why are the female soldiers coming now, because although their marksmanship is good, their physical strength is still not as good as that of male soldiers. Running such long distances is not their forte.

Seeing that they were panting and panting tired, Head Chen quipped, "Just you? Can you climb that hill? ”

Chen Wanchun was so angry that she raised her eyebrows, and led the sisters away. Before the girls left, they gave Captain Chen a roll of the eyes in turn, which made Captain Chen cry and laugh. Because the female soldiers did not walk towards the hill occupied by the devils, Commander Chen did not stop them.

Just when the 769th Regiment was preparing to organize a strong attack. The gunshots rang out suddenly, and everyone was busy looking for the source of the gunshots, but they found that it was on the opposite side of the mountain occupied by the devils. This hill is slightly shorter than the one occupied by the devils, but it can also shoot at the devils.

The devil stared at the intersection and did not guard against the nearby hills. First, they have limited troops, and second, they don't think that the Chinese army has such good marksmanship. Catching off guard is often tragic, and this group of devils is no exception. There were only twelve of them in all, and several of them were killed on the spot, and all of them were machine gunners.

The Type 92 heavy machine gun had a very fatal drawback, that is, the shooter and the secondary shooter had to show half of their bodies to shoot. In particular, the secondary shooter has to go on the bullet board, and it is difficult to complete it while lying on his stomach. So even if the devil turns the heavy machine gun around, it will still be difficult to escape the shooting of the female soldiers.

Seeing that the female soldiers had achieved miraculous results, Regiment Commander Chen was overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered heavy machine guns to cover it, and then sent a platoon to quickly pounce on the devils. The devil is really careless now, and he is no longer powerless to stop it. However, they did not forget to blow up the machine gun in the last moments. Angry, the soldiers ignored the order to capture the prisoners, and slashed the last devil alive with one sword.

After Izawa Nakasa escaped from the pursuers with the remnants, he headed all the way south. Seeing that he was about to see Ping'an County, an army came to him.

Although the Japanese army reacted quickly, it was still a beat slower, and before the formation could disperse, it was fiercely attacked by the other side. The front team resisted desperately, and all of them were killed.

In desperation, Izawa Nakazo pulled out the Wang Ba box he was carrying and shot himself in the head. I only heard a snap - it's stuck!

Tian Chengyou was shocked, and hurriedly stopped Jing Ze and said, "Captain, you can't do this, the battle is still going on, and the soldiers need you!" ”

Izawa let out a long sigh of desolation and said, "There is no hope! As a Nakasa, I can't be captured by the Shina people. As he spoke, he snatched Tian Chengyou's pistol and fired another shot at himself.

Tian Chengyou exclaimed: "No! "He thought to himself, as soon as the captain died, the responsibility for the defeat fell on my head. Thinking of the pain of seppuku, the muscles on Tian Chengyou's face twitched hard. But there was no expected thud, only a piercing sound of metal cracking—a fragile firing pin snapping.
