The whole battle lasted for more than 2 hours, the front of the mountain was full of corpses of devils, dense, and there were fewer and fewer soldiers who could shoot on the side of the Eighth Route Army, Hu Hao himself didn't know how many soldiers he changed to change bullets for himself, loaded with bullets, anyway, as long as he went to a place, there must be soldiers who loaded themselves with bullets, and they only shot and shot.

The devil finally couldn't bear it anymore, and began to retreat, he couldn't do it if he didn't retreat, the corpses of the devils in many places were thrown very high, and in some places there was no place to put down their feet, all of them were corpses, and the devils had to lose at least 4,000 people in this battle, and there were not many people on the Eighth Road side now, and the soldiers saw that the devil had retreated, and they didn't cheer, but first looked at the injured people around them.

"Brother, brother, wake up. Wake up, the devil is back, brother," shouted a warrior pushing a warrior lying motionless in the trench.

"Brother, brother, it's okay, the devil has retreated, I'll send you to the hospital immediately, it's okay, it's okay! A soldier assured a wounded warrior in the head, and the warrior had a broken chest and blood was spitting out blood.

"Gengzi, kill more devils, take good care of yourself, and tell your parents that your son is not filial" The soldier said no.

"Brother! Yes!! Geng Zi cried loudly

Hu Hao was not idle, but kept putting on the trenches, bandaging the soldiers who were still saved to stop the bleeding, and waiting for the blind date behind him to come and take them down.

"Two stunned, two stunned" a voice calling out to himself came

"Xiao Li, why are you here" Hu Hao was bandaging a soldier when he heard the voice and looked up to see that it was the guard platoon leader Li next to Commander Zhang.

"Two stunned. Stunned, go over quickly, Captain Zhang. Captain Zhang, he," Xiao Li said crying

"What's wrong with my brother!" When Hu Hao heard that it was Regiment Leader Zhang, he grabbed Platoon Commander Li's clothes and asked fiercely

"Regiment Commander Zhang, he was injured, and the shrenchnel of the devil hit him in the abdomen" Before Platoon Commander Li finished speaking, Hu Hao grabbed his gun and ran towards the regiment headquarters.

"Brother, brother" As soon as Hu Hao ran into the command headquarters, he shouted loudly, looking for where Commander Zhang was.

"Second stunned, here, the regiment commander is here" The voice of the political commissar came, and his arm was just bandaged with a strap, and there were blood stains on the strap

"Brother" Hu Hao threw down the gun, ran over, knelt on the ground and took the hand of the chief of staff to support Commander Zhang.

"Brother, let's go to the hospital, let's go, let's go to the hospital" Hu Hao said and was about to pick up Head Zhang and walk out.

"Don't, I'm stunned, don't, my brother is fine, the shrapnel hit me in the abdomen, but it didn't hit the vital point, and I can't die," said Commander Zhang

"Brother, let's go to the hospital first, brother, let's go to the hospital" Hu Hao didn't know what to say, and tears came down.

"Second stunned, brother is the regiment commander, brother is okay now, I can't retreat, just this little injury will retreat, then how can I be the commander of this regiment, now our regiment has a lot of casualties, if I retreat, the army's morale will be scattered, if the devil is coming to attack, our defense line will be over, and the operation of our Eighth Route Army to encircle and suppress the 20th Division will be in vain," Zhang said

"Brother, then you have to go down too, shrapnel is in the body. It's going to get inflamed after a long time, so let's go to the hospital and take it out and come back again, okay? Hu Hao continued

"It's okay, my brother's own body knows by himself, what's going on with your hand, why don't you bandage it?" Head Zhang said when he saw that there was blood on Hu Hao's arm

"Oh, brother, I'm fine, the bullet has broken the skin, it didn't hurt the flesh, it's okay," Hu Hao said

"Okay, you go down to monitor the devils first, if your machine gun wasn't accurate today, you killed a lot of devils, our defense line is really hanging, let's go down first, I have to discuss something with the chief of staff," Commander Zhang said

"Brother, if it really doesn't work, let's go to the hospital, our group is not bad for you alone" Hu Hao still didn't give up, he could see the fine sweat on the forehead of the head of the regiment, you know, it's winter now, it's winter in the northwest It's very cold outside now.

"I said you go down, you just go down, I didn't hear it, if my brother has something to do, go back to the hospital by himself," Zhang scolded

Hu Hao had no choice, and he didn't dare to go against Commander Zhang's words, what he said was right, and he also knew that an army, the commander of the army is the existence of the soul of the army, as long as he is there, the soldiers can fight to the death.

So Hu Hao said to the political commissar and chief of staff, "You take care of my brother, if it really doesn't work, you will send him to the hospital, and I will kill the devil."

"Okay, you go, we will take care of the regiment commander, and you yourself must pay attention to safety," said the political commissar

After Hu Hao went out, the political commissar said to Commander Zhang, "I said Lao Zhang, don't stand up, I think you should go down, I and the chief of staff are here."

"Haha, it's not that I don't believe you, Lao Wang, you are the political commissar, although you have fought a war, but if you say that you can't command a war, Chief of Staff Sun, you can handle the details, but you still lack experience in commanding a war, if it was an ordinary battle, it would be okay to hand over the two of you, but not this time, the stakes are great, if the devil breaks through our defense line, then the base of our Eighth Route Army will be severely damaged, and it will be greatly damaged!" Head Zhang said

"Regiment commander, division commander telegram," said a communications soldier who came to the three of them with a telegram

"Read."

"Please Commander Zhang must hold out until dark tomorrow night, our division has now begun to strangle the 20th Division, and we must maintain the stability of the rear defense line, and the guard company of our division has now been sent to your department, under your command, Commander Chen of the 22nd Division." The Signal Soldier read

"It seems that our division headquarters is also nervous now, if we don't even send out the guard company, the combat mission of other regiments in our division is estimated to be very difficult," said Regiment Commander Zhang. "Lao Sun, you send someone to pick up the people from the guard company, it's 4 o'clock in the afternoon, it depends on whether the devil will attack before dark today, if he attacks, it will be a vicious battle."

"Yaga, 2 wings, you can't take a single line of defense that is not a reorganized regiment, what are you eating, and you have lost more than 4,000 people, you should cut your stomach and apologize to the emperor" Kenji Dohi scolded Major General Takashi Sakai and the two wing commanders under him.

"Hey, our army is charging without artillery support, and our army can't open here at all, that's why there are so many casualties, please give us another chance to the division commander, let's rush again, to ensure those eight-way defense lines"

Major General Takashi Sakai said

"No, your brigade has less than 4,000 people left, and I don't want to rebuild the 28th brigade after this battle is over. The next attack will be handed over to General Guan Yuwu's 27th Brigade," said Kenji Dohi

"Hey, we'll be on those eight-way defense lines right away, please rest assured by the division commander"

Major General Guan Yuwu said

"General, give us another chance, we will be able to release those eight-way lines immediately, if we don't take it, it will be a shame for my 28th Brigade!" Major General Takashi Sakai said

"I don't have that much time for you to wash away your shame," Kenji Dohi said and went out.
