Liu Hai looked at the dilapidated position and knew that it would not last long, that Division Commander Sun had been killed by Japanese planes yesterday, and that the current acting division commander had also been seriously injured by Japanese artillery fire five minutes earlier. "Regiment commander, the superior ordered us to retreat to the west of the Grand Canal and return to Sun Lianzhong's Second Army!" The adjutant came over and said, "The current 51st Army has suffered most of the casualties, and it can't hold it at all, when will we retreat!" "Withdraw in the evening! If we retreat during the day, the target is too big and easy to be bombed by Japanese planes, so we retreat to the north of the Grand Canal at night, and tell the ghost artillery and Wu Fatzi to retreat separately and concentrate at Liujiahu Lake north of Taierzhuang! Bangs said. By the way, the regiment commander, there is one more thing, we are afraid that we will retreat with this group of Northeast Army, the commander of the 51st Army has promised to integrate the remaining troops of Xiaobengbu into a battalion and belong to our regimental system! The adjutant said. That's great, now the Japanese are advancing from north to south, and they will attack Xuzhou, and now the Huai River defense line can't be held, and the Japanese army from the north and south don't know where to attack, if there is no army to protect us, a cavalry battalion of small Japan will clean us up! Tell the battalion commander tonight to retreat together! Liu Hai glanced at the Huai River, which he had guarded for half a month.

"Commander, where are we going now?" The adjutant asked. "Go to Taierzhuang, we have to help the Second Army defend Taierzhuang!" Bangs said. "Then which way are we going to go to Taierzhuang now? It is safer to go west to Liujiabao, and you can also reach Liujiahu and the other two battalion commanders relatively quickly! The adjutant said. Yes! Then go over there and tell the reconnaissance platoon in front to go to Liujiabao's side! Bangs said. Liu Hai ordered a diversion, and the convoy, dragging the cannons, began to divert. The reconnaissance platoon commander in front randomly changed the route to Liujiabao's side! After walking for about two hours, the forward squad of the reconnaissance platoon found that there was a Japanese artillery team in Liujiabao! "Quick! Inform Commander Liu that there are Japanese troops in Liujiabao! The reconnaissance platoon commander said hurriedly. The communications soldier ran back desperately and stopped Bang Hai's car. "Regiment commander, no, there is an artillery team of the Japanese army in Liujiabao!" The words of the communication soldier startled Liu Hai. "There are Japanese troops in Liujiabao!" Liu Hai was taken aback, took out the map and looked at it, "Liujiabao has the Japanese artillery team, it seems that the Japanese army has advanced to the periphery of Taierzhuang!" "So what do we do?" The adjutant was a little flustered. "It's okay! We can turn around and walk through Hejiagou, and from there, we can reach Liujiahu! After making peace with the ghost cannon and Wu Fatzi, he rushed to Taierzhuang to participate in the war! Liu Hai said, "But we have to find a way to kill the Japanese artillery in Liujiapu now, I estimate that it is also an artillery squadron, we can completely kill him!" ”

"Regiment commander, are you thinking about it, now that there are Japanese artillery in Liujiabao, then there may be all Japanese troops around us, and we will probably not be able to get out if we start here!" The adjutant reminded. "I said why are you afraid of wolves and tigers, now the Japanese are estimated to be disrupted, their vanguard is likely to have arrived in Taierzhuang, but their follow-up troops are also hurrying forward, this artillery squadron, maybe it is here to rest temporarily, the fighters are fleeting, and they can't be delayed!" Liu Hai looked at Liujiabao at the bottom of the mountain, and ten Japanese-style artillery pieces were lined up neatly on the field in the center of the village! "Tell the commander of the first battalion that the artillery does not need to dismantle the car, just shoot in the towed state, as long as the cantonment hoe is lowered, the firing coordinates are 1,200 meters, the angle is 35 degrees, and five rapid fires! After the fight, immediately retreat to Hejiagou! Liu Hai gave the order to open fire, and the adjutant quickly passed the order back.

Liu Hai used a telescope to see that the Japanese artillerymen below were gathering together in twos and threes, a few were plucking a few chickens, and the cauldron next to them was boiling water, and then looked at the surrounding situation, the Japanese army was rampant to the extreme, there was not even a sentry post around an artillery squadron, and such an army on the battlefield could not be said to be immortal. Soon the cannon sounded, Liu Hai knew that it was his own artillery fire, it was obvious that the Japanese troops below also heard it, but it was too late, Liu Hai's shells had already smashed over, Liu Hai looked at the Japanese troops below who were blown up by the shells, the first batch of shells The Japanese artillery was half knocked out, and when the second batch of shells arrived, the surrounding Japanese troops were killed and injured countless times, and the shells on the cart were also ignited, a series of explosions sounded, and the entire Liujiabao was covered by artillery fire! After the shells were fired, Liu Hai found that the other party's artillery was not around the cannon, but in a row of houses next to it, although the shelling successfully blew up the Japanese artillery, but this batch of artillery did not seem to be damaged! "Call the battalion commander Ma over, tell his people to go down and charge, and we must kill this group of artillery!" Bangs said. "Forget it, the regiment commander, we have already killed the artillery, what is the use of him just having artillery!" The adjutant said. "You know what a!" Liu Hai always felt that this adjutant was scared to death. "The Japanese have artillery, but artillery is the key, if we don't kill the artillery, we can directly participate in the battle as soon as their follow-up artillery is replenished, if the artillery is killed together, then they have to mobilize other artillery units to support, understand?" "Got it, got it!" The adjutant said. "Also," Liu Hai turned to look at him, "I will arrange a safe place for you to stay in Taierzhuang!" "Commander, I... The adjutant wanted to say something. "Needless to say, everyone is afraid of death, I just don't want you to stay next to me, you will die faster like that!"

"Commander, you called me?" Battalion Commander Ma came over. "Battalion Commander Ma, look, there is a group of Japanese artillery in Liujiabao over there, and he dodged the artillery strike we just now, now can you take the brothers to rush!" Bangs said. "What should I do, the artillery of Little Japan is not as good as their field troops, and their melee ability is very average, I will kill them with a company!" Battalion Commander Ma said. "I have something to tell you, our artillery can't stay any longer, so after you finish fighting, you have to march to Taierzhuang by yourself, is there a problem?" Bangs said. "It's okay! Why don't you just run a few steps? If I were to run back to the Northeast now, I would be glad to die. Captain, go first, and we'll be there!" Battalion Commander Ma replied very cheerfully. Okay, then we'll see you in Taierzhuang! After Liu Hai finished speaking, Battalion Commander Ma ran away! Liu Hai immediately commanded the convoy to go to Hejiagou, thinking that Liujiahu would march forward, and when he arrived at Liujiahu's own artillery regiment, it would be considered full of formation!

Liu Hai attacked the Japanese artillery squadron, which directly affected the progress of the Japanese attack on Linyi, Pang Tongxun was defending Linyi, the Japanese artillery was attacked by the Central Artillery Brigade and suffered heavy losses. When the battalion commander Ma led the troops to rush down, the squadron leader of the Japanese artillery squadron had already committed suicide by disembowelment, and the remaining artillerymen were killed by the battalion commander Ma! After finishing the devil's artillery, Battalion Commander Ma took his company and rushed south along Liujiabao to Taierzhuang to participate in the battle!

After an hour's march, Liu Hai finally rushed to Liujiahu, the ghost cannon and Wu Fatzi in Liujiahu had already arrived, and as soon as he saw Liu Hai, he ran over to report. "Captain! How did you get there? The ghost cannon said, "The little devil is about to fight Taierzhuang, we have to go to reinforcements!" "That's it! Why did it take you so long to arrive? Wu Fatzi said. I received the order in the morning, and I felt that I couldn't walk all during the day, so I delayed leaving until the evening! Bangs said. Oh, my dear chief, if you are told to withdraw, you will withdraw quickly, and wait for death? You must know that the retreat order, those friendly and neighboring troops are retreating faster than the other, if you are one step slower, they will be copied back! When the time comes, you won't be able to run if you want to! "The ghost cannon is jumping in a hurry." I understand when you say this, our back road has been copied by the devils, but the devils only care about moving forward, and they didn't find us, I'm afraid that when we came, we were advancing in parallel with the devils, and Liujiabao already had the devil's artillery, a squadron, which was killed by me! Bangs said. Okay, I said that your Liu Shen artillery is really not simple, you came more than a day late and reimbursed a devil for an artillery squadron! Fat Wu laughed.

"What did you say?" A voice came from behind the bangs: "There are Japanese artillery soldiers in Liujiabao?" Liu Hai turned his head and saw a lieutenant general of the national army walking over. Hello sir! "Bangs hurriedly salute!" Are you Liu Shenpao bangs? I am Sun Lianzhong, commander-in-chief of the Second Army! The lieutenant general said. Hello Chief Sun, Liu Hai, the commander of the 200th Division Artillery Regiment, came to report! Bangs said hurriedly. Now that Liujiabao already has the artillery of the Japanese army, then the Tengxian County in front of us is about to receive fire, Wang Mingzhang is a man, I hope he can hold Tengxian! After Sun Lianzhong said a word, he turned to Liu Hai and said, "Commander Liu, your artillery regiment has all been established, and now I order you to enter Yixian, where to cooperate with the 31st Division to break the enemy in Yixian and Zaozhuang, and then the whole regiment will be there and the 31st Division to defend Taierzhuang from the flank!" "Aren't we going to war in Taierzhuang?" Bangs asked. "Taierzhuang is a dead end, our Second Army is planning to die here, this kind of thing just let our infantry do it, your artillery is expensive, it's better to keep it and fight devils later, besides, you are the formation of the 200 division, if you don't beat it, it will be difficult to explain it in the future, and the Japanese planes are so fierce, it doesn't matter if you are here or not, go ahead!" After Sun Lianzhong finished speaking, he left with the guards!
