Section 31: Expulsion

Dawn is approaching, but there is no sign of changing from darkness to light around Gao'an City, and the endless sound of guns and shouts of killing in all directions has made the whole world chaotic, and even the night seems to be even darker, making people more and more confused and uneasy.

In the south of Gao'an City, the second battalion of the 302nd Regiment under the command of Gao Da Hammer continued to attack the Japanese defense line, although their number was not much, but the attack was very flexible, one blow was retreated, and the sound of the east and west, so that the Japanese second brigade of about 1,000 people was tired to deal with, difficult to parry, but also because the Japanese army could not understand their strength and strength, did not dare to attack at will, so that this battlefield fell into a state of stalemate, who could not help anyone.

To the north of Gao'an City, the 3rd Brigade of the Japanese Army, which was on guard on the front line of Xiangfuguan, had received the news of Gao'an City and began to withdraw its troops, but just earlier, when a squadron was preparing to pass through Ruihu, it was ambushed, and the squadron leader who was moving forward to open the way was killed on the spot, causing the retreating troops to be in chaos for a while, and it may be difficult to reorganize the offensive in a short time.

The most chaotic and complicated is the situation around Gao'an City, the Japanese wing headquarters in Chazishan was attacked, and Yoshio Sonoda and others quickly retreated to Gao'an City, wanting to enter Gao'an City in the shortest possible time, relying on the strength of the city to resist the enemy's attack and stabilize the chaotic situation.

However, the enemy forces in the city took the initiative at this time! In order to meet the captain and others, the first brigade sent about half of its troops to the front line of Chazishan to respond, but the empty defense line was dealt a heavy blow, and the officers and men of the 1st Battalion of the 302nd Regiment in a desperate situation were desperate to attack the enemy's defense line frantically, and in a very short period of time they killed a bloody road, and the vigorous troops under the command of Li Wenguang attached to the battalion were killed in the direction of Chazishan. As early as when they were in the city, they could faintly hear the sound of artillery and gunfire coming from this direction, and in this case, no matter which unit appeared there, it was a glimmer of life for them!

Yoshio Sonoda was guarded by Takeji Yamada and a group of staff officers, looking embarrassed, a situation that he had encountered once when he was in Zhang Gushan half a year ago. Once, he once swore that he would never run away like a lost dog again, and he would definitely wash away his shame with victory after victory. However, the reality is cruel, and today, half a year later, not long after the 106th Division regrouped and returned to the battlefield, he reunited with the tragic times of the past in a battle that he thought would have no difficulty, and relived this kind of life and death that was like a thread.

For Takeji Yamada and others on the side, it was definitely an unimaginable experience. A moment ago, they were still discussing the battle situation on the top of the mountain, planning how to lure the enemy in front of the second brigade into the encirclement, and in the blink of an eye, the hunter and the prey changed roles, and they were forced to a dead end, running all the way.

At this time, there was a chaos ahead, and the noisy shouts and the suddenly stopped team made everyone extremely nervous, and some of the soldiers who were at a loss didn't understand how to roll directly into the ditch on the side, and picked up the weapons in their hands in horror.

The halt of the team also seemed to give Sonoda a chance to come back to his senses, and at this time, all those thoughts in his mind disappeared, and he calmly shouted, "What's the matter? What's going on up ahead? Guards, go over and take a look at it immediately. ”

Most of his guards have just stayed on Chazi Mountain, facing the enemy rushing like a wolf, the consequences can be imagined, and now a few of them are still with him, all of them are the elite of the elite, in such a situation, they can still keep calm and always guard his side, which can also be seen that these people are not bad. After hearing the order, two people quickly separated from the people in front and rushed to the front.

After a while, the two guards brought the news from the front, which made an experienced officer like Yoshio Sonoda stunned on the spot, and was a little embarrassed.

The situation was not so bad, and the reason for the chaos ahead was that they ran head-on into the first brigade that rushed to reinforce them, so that they were like frightened birds, and they almost lost control of the weapons in their hands. The first captain, Takeo Go, is worthy of being a cadre raised by Yoshio Sonoda, and he can be said to be loyal to him, and as soon as there was a situation in the direction of Chazi Mountain, he sent reinforcements.

However, their movements were a little slower, and the enemy's attack was so fast that they could only meet the officers of the wing command halfway.

Another piece of news made Yoshio Sonoda a little difficult, because the enemy in Gao'an City seemed to rush out, and it was still in their direction, which meant that their way back to Gao'an City was directly cut off, and after a while, they would have to turn back to the enemy head-on.

Yoshio Sonoda was silent for a while, although the time at this moment was precious, but at this time he had to think clearly about the next direction of action. Looking up, the soldiers at the wing headquarters were looking down on their heads, which made Yoshio Sonoda involuntarily give up the idea that had just arisen in his heart.

The enemy in the city rushed out at this time, obviously to break through, in this way, although Gao'an City can be controlled in his hands, but tonight's battle can be said to be a defeat, according to his thoughts, at this time, with a large group of reinforcements to block this enemy, after eating them, and then turn back to solve the trouble behind them, as long as the third brigade on the front line of Xiangfuguan moves fast enough, they can form a front and rear flank, in this way, although the battle situation on the side of the second brigade is not ideal, But they are enough to win brilliantly here.

Although the enemy has the upper hand at this time, the situation is not clear, after all, the two important towns of Gao'an and Xiangfuguan are basically in their hands, and the enemy has no danger to defend, as long as they block their wave of fierce offensive, the enemy who has lost his motivation will basically lose the threat. But glancing at the soldiers beside him, looking at their unmorale at all, such an idea is obviously a bit wishful thinking, how can a moraleless army block an enemy who is desperate for his life?

"Retreat, retreat to the northwest, this branch of the army, let them go." After weighing it, Yoshio Sonoda said helplessly, and then sighed, like a defeated rooster, and also lost the high fighting spirit he had before.

After hearing the order of the wing commander, a squadron leader of the first brigade naturally did not dare to disobey in the slightest, and immediately led his troops, followed by the officers of the wing headquarters, and withdrew to the northwest of the battlefield together, wanting to get out of this dangerous situation in the shortest possible time.

On Chazi Mountain, Zhao Xinyi stood a little cramped on the opposite side of the stone, looking at the stone timidly.

This kind of expression is really rare on the face of the famous Zhao Yidao, but as more and more battles are fought, the murderous aura on his body is getting stronger and stronger, and the officials are getting bigger and bigger, the power of the stone is becoming more and more obvious, and usually except for Liu Wenfeng, Li Wenguang, and Xiao Shandong, who have been with him since Luodian, other people no longer dare to joke with the stone like before.

Although the stone himself has not changed, he is happy to be with them, and even insists on the habit of sleeping in the squad platoon every day, but looking at the rank of major general on his collar and looking at his red-edged nameplate, he is always a little uncomfortable.

A smile suddenly appeared on Shishi's stern face, and this smile melted away the tense atmosphere around him like the melting snow in the spring sun, and then he asked, "Li Shijian went to chase the enemy?" ”

Zhao Xinyi saw the smile on his face, and he also took a long breath, as if a stone pressed on his chest had been moved, and quickly nodded in response: "Yes, regiment commander, that, acting battalion commander Li said that the devil was in a hurry, and he pulled down so many things here, maybe he can catch up with two big officials." ”

"One knife, Li Shi will be the commander of your third battalion in the future, and that code has already been regularized for him before the start of this battle. Battalion Commander Li dares to fight and fight, he has brains, and he will not suffer losses in the war behind him, so you must help him well and bring the three battalions well. As he spoke, he looked around again and asked, "How many people did he take with him?" ”

"A company, Li Dai...... Battalion Commander Li only took three companies with him, and the first and second companies and the machine gun company stayed here to clean up the battlefield and arrange fortifications, so that we could wait for the order of the regiment commander. Zhao Xinyi replied honestly.

Shi nodded, and Wu Zihuai, the chief of staff on the side, said with a smile: "Tuanzao, Battalion Commander Li is not afraid that you will lose your trust, so he specially caught a few more devils and came back to increase his weight!" As he spoke, he said to Liu Taiping behind him: "Liu Cannon, it seems that you want to go back to the third battalion, it's a little difficult!" The brothers you brought out are no worse than you! ”

Liu Taiping pursed his lips and said, "If I can bring one of the three battalions out, I can bring another one out!" After finishing speaking, Liu Taiping couldn't help but glance at the stone, and seemed to have a lot of thoughts about the regiment commander's order to transfer him back to the regiment headquarters, but thinking of the last time he disobeyed the order on Zhang Gushan, he was a little lacking in confidence, to put it bluntly, this matter was indeed his mistake first, and there was no way to shirk it. This is not like those previous chiefs, who simply looked at him unpleasantly, so they left him idle.

Shi smiled disapprovingly: "Let's go, don't delay here, let's go directly to Gao'an City, no matter how many devils we kill, it's not as important as those brothers in the first battalion, as long as we can cover them out, this battle will be worth it." ”
