Feng Changzhi didn't realize that the battle in the west of the village was a feint attack by the Japanese army at this moment, listening to the continuous roar of the 92 heavy machine gun, the commander of the second battalion judged that the enemy was still trying to open a breakthrough from the west of the village, and he had just sent someone there to inform the commander of the 6th company, Wang Shuanglong, and told the other party that his headquarters was located on the bank of the Qinglong River behind the 6th company.

There were two Czech light machine guns in the 6th Company, both of which were at this time feverishly spraying tongues of fire on the line west of the village; There is only one in the 7th Company, which is in the hands of this platoon led by Feng Changzhi; The commander of the second battalion was thinking about whether to send this Czech style over, when suddenly, a soldier from the 7th company ran from the direction of the end of the village, and the news he brought shocked Feng Changzhi:

A large force of Japanese troops appeared at the end of the village!

Murao!?

Since the sound of gunfire faintly coming from Hekou Village was heard first tonight, and Wu Zijian also sent someone to report the enemy situation, Feng Changzhi's consciousness established the direction of the enemy's attack in the north, and the Japanese army that took the lead in attacking Xiping Village came from the west in the direction of Tongpu Road.

And the end of the village should be relatively safest, which is why Feng Changzhi asked the deputy company commander of the 7th Company to take two platoons there. However, unexpectedly, the Japanese army attacked the south side where the village was located.

The soldiers who came to report the news seemed panicked, Feng Changzhi asked him a few questions one after another, he either couldn't answer, or he didn't answer what he asked - he only had the last platoon of mobile troops in his hand, Feng Changzhi gritted his teeth and asked the deputy platoon commander to lead a squad, led by the soldiers who reported the news, to rush to the end of the village for reinforcements.

The commander of the second battalion did not believe that the Japanese army would use the end of the village as the main breakthrough, at least for the time being, the most intense gunfire was still in the west of the village. He already regretted that he had just sent a platoon to assist the instructors in their retreat, and that the enemy was rushing towards the village so quickly, and no one was sure whether the non-combat units and the baggage would have time to retreat into the mountain pass tonight.

However, if Feng Changzhi knew what kind of battle was taking place at the end of the village, he would not have sent only one squad of troops there, which was tantamount to holding a small bench and blocking an unobstructed courtyard gate.

The gunfire became more and more intense, which made Liu Shu, the instructor who commanded the retreat, feel more and more frightened. So far, Liu Shu still does not know how many Japanese troops are participating in the attack on Xiping, but he has been fighting for many years, and he undoubtedly feels the menacing enemy coming.

"Instructor, do you really have to leave immediately?"

In a large mansion in the east of the village, where the battalion health team is located, the female captain asked in a panic. Not only do the health teams now have more than a dozen lightly or seriously injured people to take care of, but all the medical equipment is in a state of use, and there is a lot of tedious preparation to be made to evacuate.

"Execute the order! Don't talk nonsense! ”

Liu Shu's eyes widened, and he yelled impatiently. At present, the retreat task in front of him, in addition to the health team, also has a large number of baggage such as ammunition, food, and clothing; There are also a large number of documents of the village field mobilization committee, mainly the accounts and deeds of the whole village rent and interest reduction, the list and file of the members of the village self-defense force (now renamed the recruit company), and so on. It can be described as a thousand things, Liu Shu didn't even know for a while which one he should retreat first.

By the way, there are also six devil captives!

This content that just came to mind gave the instructor even more headaches. The six Japanese prisoners of war, all of whom were the results of the 2nd Battalion's ambush of the cavalry of the Sena Division at Dawangyu in Xiaoyushu Mountain, were brought to Guanmen Mountain without thinking about it, but later became a burden to the 2nd Battalion: the six prisoners were very stubborn, and they could not communicate with each other due to language barriers (only Xiao Junping, the former staff officer of the Jin Army and the current captain of the enemy engineer of the 2nd Battalion of the Lin Division, interrogated them once in Japanese), so it was difficult to influence or rebel. Liu Shu once wanted to shoot them all in the form of a public trial, but the battalion commander Feng Changzhi did not agree, and the matter was put to a halt.

At present, the transfer and evacuation of non-combat units and baggage are the top priority, where is the manpower to watch these six Japanese prisoners!? If they take advantage of the chaos to flee or are rescued by the enemy, the consequences will be unimaginable. Thinking of this, Liu Shu couldn't help but kill again; He looked around, and in addition to his own communicator, a platoon led by the instructor of the 7th Company was always with him. But if he wanted to give the order to execute the prisoners of war in a grand manner, Liu Shu felt a little difficult to speak.

While he was hesitating, Zhang Xiu ran over with two staff members of the village movement committee (both of whom are the backbone of the people in the village). The beautiful female soldier was also very flustered, and since she received the order to retreat, she went to call a few backbones on weekdays and prepared to go to the village office to pack up her things. Liu Shu saw Zhang Xiu, who was drinking tea and laughing with him an hour ago, but now he looked lost and depressed, and couldn't help but feel like a knife: This is all the damn Wu Zijian in Hekou Village, a good base and a comfortable life, but he wants to attack the Japanese puppet army in the county, and now he is in trouble!

"Instructor, I don't have enough manpower, can you send me a few people?"

Zhang Xiu saw Liu Shu, as if he saw a savior. Just now, she went to knock on the door of the villagers, but several of the backbones heard that the Japanese had knocked on the door, and they refused to follow Zhang Xiu to the village office.

Without saying a word, Liu Shu ordered the instructor of the 7th Company to transfer a squad from the platoon in front of him, obey Zhang Xiu's command, and be sure to safely move all the documents and materials of the village field mobilization committee to the mountain pass.

"Instructor, with such fierce artillery fighting, how many enemies are there? Battalion commanders, where are they? Zhang Xiu asked nervously. But Liu Shu obviously couldn't take care of her anymore, and there were still a large number of baggage distributed in several houses, which had to be carried immediately.

Liu Shu began to deploy tasks to the recruit company that had been assembled. The recruit company is completely based on the Lin Division, with six platoons and a total of 227 personnel, half of whom have rifle weapons. Liu Shu planned to let two of the platoons immediately go to the area of the mountain pass to establish a cordon and a preset blocking position to ensure that personnel and materials could safely withdraw into Guanmen Mountain; The remaining four platoons assisted in the evacuation of various non-combat units, including the handling of baggage.

However, something happened to the instructor's surprise: the members of the recruit company, all from their own village, heard that they were going to withdraw to Guanmen Mountain, and their hearts immediately floated - their parents, wives and children were still in the village, and outside were the Japanese soldiers with guns and cannons. At this moment, they were asked to leave their families and retreat to Guanmen Mountain, and many recruits suddenly found it difficult to obey.

The recruits have not been trained for a long time, and of course the discipline is not very strong; has not experienced the test of battle, at this time it is obvious that the mood of fear of war and love for home is obvious, and it quickly spreads.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Liu Shu hurriedly shouted and immediately asked the platoon commanders and deputy platoon commanders (all veterans drawn from the 6th and 7th companies) to carry out the bomb pressure. At the same time, the two platoons immediately drove to the Guanmen Mountain Pass to carry out their tasks.

In the darkness, recruits began to slip away, and they did not hesitate to run to their homes. The platoon commanders shouted warnings and blocked them, but to little avail. Liu Shu was really anxious, grabbed the pony gun in his hand (it was still the damn Wu Zijian, took away the short gun of the whole battalion and handed it to the enemy engineering team, so that he and the battalion commander had to carry the pony gun), and fired a shot into the sky, but this shot was fired, and the deserters were more and more resolute. A platoon commander of a recruit shouted angrily:

"Leave the gun! Leave the gun behind to go!! Otherwise, you will be killed!! ”

When the village was in a hurry, Wang Shuanglong, the commander of the 6th Company, who was defending on the front line in the west of the village, also sensed that something was wrong.

The devil who has made a comeback, although he has a heavy machine gun to join the attack team, is obviously not as strong as just now. Wang Shuanglong clearly remembered that just now he and the 6th Company were actually almost unable to resist, and those Japanese soldiers went crazy and approached their defense line one after another; However, in this round of attack, so far, we have not felt the enthusiasm of the attacking side, except for the strafing of the 92 heavy machine guns, the firepower from the infantry does not show that there is too much imminent meaning, and the number of troops thrown in is also not as good as just now.

Wang Shuanglong was suddenly startled: Could it be that the devil is making a noise?!

After watching for a while, the commander of the 6th company became more and more sure of this judgment, and he immediately asked people to run to Feng Changzhi to report the news-since the devils are making a feint here, then they must put the real assault force elsewhere.

As if to corroborate Wang Shuanglong's judgment, after a while, the soldiers sent to report to the battalion commander did not return, but gunshots rang out in the village, and if you listened carefully, the gunshots came from the south end of the village.

The Japanese squadron that attacked the end of the village and entered the village.

With the sacrifice of the deputy commander of the 7th Company, the Japanese squadron completely occupied the end of the village and began to infiltrate the village after paying the price of more than 30 casualties.

A squad sent by Feng Changzhi to support the end of the village encountered a large force of this Japanese squadron head-on, and the two sides quickly began to shoot at each other. After all, the firepower of a squad was too weak, and they only blocked it for less than five minutes before they were overwhelmed by more and more Japanese soldiers. What Wang Shuanglong heard was the sound of the firefight between them.

Feng Changzhi also heard the firefight in this direction, and the second battalion commander suddenly felt bad, the sound of the firefight was not at the end of the distant village, but it was very close to the center of the village where he was! At this moment, the soldiers sent by the commander of the 6th company to report the feint attack of the enemy in the west of the village arrived, and Feng Changzhi finally understood that the battle at the end of the village was the real direction of the Japanese army's attack!

"All of them come with me!"

The commander of the second battalion shouted, led a force of less than a platoon, and immediately pounced in the direction of the end of the village!
