In a panic, Wu Zijian still said "hey" in his heart, just as the Japanese army wing commander expressed his admiration for the tactics of the commander of the Eighth Route Army, he also had to admit at this moment that the head of the Japanese army, who was hiding behind the truck tonight, was a person who knew how to fight a war.

Li Tianlin, who was lying on top of the wilderness, discovered the squadron that the Japanese army had put into attack almost at the same time as Wu Zijian, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. The commander of the 5th company knew very well that the troops in the village had almost withdrawn, and according to the plan, the deputy company commander of the 5th company, who had rushed down from the mountain with him just now, should now withdraw from the west of the village to the mountain pass with a platoon; When the first platoon is withdrawn, the one and a half platoons under his command will also fight and retreat, thus completing all the plans for transferring into the mountain. However, the sudden dispatch of the new force of the Japanese army completely disrupted the original deployment.

What made Wu Zijian, who was standing on the roof, even more shocking was that on the Qinglong River outside the west of the village, the charge of the cavalry of the puppet Mongolian army had also become crazy, and as soon as they changed their style of being crushed at the touch of a button tonight, hundreds of cavalry were still screaming wildly while the Czech machine guns in the platoon of the 5th Company were roaring, and they were getting closer and closer to the defense line in the west of the village, which was guarded by less than 40 people.

Rao is experienced in a hundred battles, and the deputy commander of the second battalion still has a desperate thought of helplessness - is the 5th Company of the 2nd Battalion of the Lin Division really going to be wiped out here!?

Li Tianlin took the lead in reacting, he asked the second platoon commander to arrange a few soldiers, specifically aimed at the direction of the two Type 92 heavy machine guns in front of him, sniped at anyone who approached the machine guns, and resolutely did not let the two heavy machine guns that the Japanese army carried and ran around to fire; At the same time, the commander of the 5th company grabbed the Czech style and led more than 30 soldiers to crawl rapidly towards the line of the Japanese squadron that had just been dispatched.

Wu Zijian, who was condescending on the roof of a house in the northwest corner of the village, immediately understood that Tianlin was going to divide his troops to forcibly intercept the enemy army that suddenly broke out! However, with his dozens of Type 38 and a light machine gun, how could he stop more than a hundred wolf-like devils in the wilderness where there was no danger to defend? The commander of the 5th company is undoubtedly desperate!

Seeing Li Tianlin and his subordinates crawling forward on the frozen soil without hesitation, Wu Zijian, who was in a sad mood, roared angrily: Then let's fight!

He looked around at the dozen or so soldiers around him, and asked one of them to immediately run to the west of the village, telling the deputy company commander of the 5th company not to fight against the cavalry - not to mention that it would not last too long - simply let the rabbit cubs into the village, so that the cavalry would lose the advantage of impact in the cramped and complicated terrain of the village, and then clean them up with cold guns!

"Tell your deputy company commander to give me that Czech!"

There was no machine gun used in the street battle with the cavalry in the village, and Wu Zijian was ready to use it to deal with the devils charging outside the village.

"You," Wu Zijian ordered the rest of the soldiers around him: "Concentrate *, all go to the roof, and after a while, the 5th company commander will retreat, this is the last line of defense, give me condescending and smash it with *!" ”

Li Tianlin's dozens of men desperately slashed diagonally, and finally launched a flank attack before the infantry squadron of the Nara Brigade rushed to the northwest corner of the village, and the Czech light machine guns began to roar again, and more than 30 rifles also opened fire.

The squadron that commanded the last fierce battle of the Japanese army was none other than Captain Nara Shaosa himself, and he and Captain Otsuka had already seen the way for the Eighth Route Army to retreat, so Osa ordered a general attack at the most critical moment. The task of Nara Shaosa was to lead this new force, which had been recuperating for most of the night, to violently intersperse and attack the northwest corner of the village in one go, completely separating the stubborn Eighth Route Army in the west of the village from the Eighth Route Army fighting in the field outside the village.

Once the division was complete, the Wing Commander would order the two infantry squads that had just been repulsed, together with the machine gun squads, to launch a counterattack from the open field, and the Eighth Route Army, which had been pressing the field, would shrink in the direction of the village. And the squadron of Nara Shaozo was divided into two at that time, one part cooperated with the cavalry of the Mongolian Xinjiang Army to gather and annihilate the Eighth Route Army in the village, and the other part surrounded the Eighth Route Army outside the village.

This insidious general offensive plan is almost about to succeed.

Although Nara Shaozo was attacked and harassed by a group of Eighth Route Army in the Diagonal Thorn, he quickly used several grenadiers to counterattack, blowing up the Eighth Route Army soldiers lying on the frozen ground without any concealment. The main force of the squadron continued to approach the periphery more than ten zhang away from the northwest corner of Hekou Village.

The cavalry of the Mongolian Xinjiang Army rushed into the village from a southerly position to the west of Hekou Village, and the Eighth Route Army guarding the village was forced to fight in the streets.

Kosuke Otsuka, who was standing on the truck bed, scanned the scene with a telescope with satisfaction: It's finally done!

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a staff officer beside Otsuka suddenly exclaimed: "Dazuo! Sneak attack of the Chinese army! ”

Kosuke Otsuka was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly looked in the direction of the staff officer's finger, only to see a group of cavalry in the northwest direction, galloping around the periphery of the entire battlefield, and actually rushed straight towards his truck berth!

The telescope of the Japanese wing commander almost fell off in shock - where did this cavalry, which is obviously the Eighth Route Army, come from?! At this moment, all his troops had been engaged in the general offensive, and in the vicinity of a few troop transport trucks, except for the artillerymen of the artillery squad who had run out of shells, there were only about 20 people in the wing headquarters, and most of them were civilian staff officers and service personnel such as telecommunications and intelligence.

"Baga! Call for help! ”

Otsuka Kosuke roared wildly, and the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army that swept over was no less than forty or fifty, and they had already rushed to the range of the cavalry guns in their hands, and several cavalry spears even opened fire on horseback, clanging trucks, and a bullet flew past Osa's side!

Just now, the staff officer of the wing headquarters, who was the first to discover this sneak attack cavalry, desperately banged on the roof of the truck cab and shouted: Drive, drive! The sleepy-eyed car soldier who was lying on the steering wheel had just been woken up by a bullet, and when he heard the shouts of the staff officer, he hurriedly and subconsciously started the car, but several other cars also started in a panic, and as a result, these trucks parked in a disorderly place collided one after another.

The cavalry that attacked by sneak attack was the cavalry company of the second battalion led by Xia Lianshan himself.

The cavalry company was urgently ordered by the deputy battalion commander to abandon their horses and walk into the mountain, and the soldiers had to abandon their horses and climb up the valley in pain in the ravine of the Qinglong River in the mountain pass. At this time, Xia Lianshan, who was halfway up the mountain pass, looked back and found that the newly invested Japanese charging team had broken through to the northwest corner of the village, while Li Tianlin, who was fighting in the field outside the village, was forced to retreat in panic by the Japanese troops in front of him.

Xia Lianshan's heart suddenly jumped wildly - the deputy battalion commander, the commander of the 5th company, the deputy of the 5th company, and most of the 5th company, were all dragged by the Japanese army and could not retreat to the mountain pass!

The other cavalrymen who had stopped their footsteps had obviously seen the danger below at this height, and they couldn't help but scream one after another. Xia Lianshan waved the pony gun in his hand and shouted:

"Deputy battalion commander, they are surrounded, brothers, go down the mountain to find the horses, we will kill back!"

The cavalrymen immediately turned around and ran down the mountain pass without hesitation.

Xiao Junping, the captain of the enemy engineer in the heavy machine gun fortifications of the mountain pass, rushed out at this time, and he limped away, shouting Xia Lianshan's name hoarsely.

Xia Lianshan, who heard the shout, turned around and waved his hand to dissuade Xiao Junping from following, but the captain of the enemy engineer who stumbled in front of him grabbed him:

"Company Commander Xia, don't be brutal, your cavalry is rushing to the village now, you can only increase the sacrifice in vain!"

Xia Lianshan was so anxious that he was about to break the other party's hand, but Xiao Junping pointed to the far end and said:

"Kill over there! See, there are Japanese trucks parked there all the time, I guess it's their headquarters, you cavalry horses are fast, bypass the battlefield, and hit their headquarters directly! ”

Xia Lianshan didn't have a telescope, but by the moonlight, he could dimly see the formation, the location of those trucks was almost at the back of the battlefield, and Captain Xiao's guidance could be called a plan to save Zhao from Wei Wei!

The cavalry who went down to the bottom of the mountain pass, most of them found the horses that had not yet run away, Xia Lianshan had no time to count, estimated that more than half of the original two cavalry platoons were left, and the cavalry company commander who turned over and got on the horse shouted: Don't run around, all must come with me! Then the war horse under his crotch with his legs between his legs galloped straight to the north.

The cavalrymen couldn't help but be stunned when they saw that their company commander had run away in the opposite direction to the battlefield, but since the company commander had spoken first, everyone chased after them.

Xiao Junping on the mountain pass saw that this cavalry first ran north, almost disappearing into the night, and after a while, they suddenly appeared on the periphery of the battlering battlefield, and were already quite close to the rear position of the Japanese army, rushing to launch a charge!

It was a successful sneak attack. The two armies in the wilderness and the village were fighting desperately, and almost no one noticed the horses running around them. And when the target of the sneak attack: Kosuke Otsuka's wing headquarters was shocked, more than forty war horses had already roared in the frozen ground.

On the way to attack, Xia Lianshan sent an order backwards: don't use a knife, after approaching the truck, get off the horse and attack with a gun on foot, and use * to blow up the car.

His order was well carried out, and when there were still more than a dozen feet away from the group of trucks that had been smashed into a ball, the cavalrymen jumped off their horses, held the 38-type cavalry guns in their hands, and charged while shooting, and the few people who rushed to the front struggled to throw out* and one hit the compartment of a truck. Amid the roaring explosion, many Japanese soldiers jumped out of their trucks in panic and fled south in confusion.

A machine gun lying under the truck suddenly fired, it was a Type 96 light machine gun left behind in the wing headquarters, and the rain of bullets swept the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army at the front to the ground. Seeing this, Xia Lianshan hurriedly ordered to lie down and fired at the machine gun under the truck.

This finally created time for the Japanese wing commander to escape.

Kosuke Otsuka's subordinates have just urgently called Nara Shaosa to come back through walkie-talkies. Nara Shaosa, who had already attacked the northwest corner of Kawaguchi Village, was taken aback when he received the report, and hurriedly ordered a retreat; Shao Zuo, who had only exited the village and opened his vision, clearly saw the attack of the Eighth Route Army on the wing headquarters.

"Help, help!"

Fearing that Wing Commander Osa would be met with an accident, Nara Shaozo desperately ordered all the troops to withdraw, and at this moment he didn't even know how many enemy troops were attacking the wing headquarters, and whether there would be enough to be able to counter-encircle the imperial army?!

The Japanese army, together with the puppet Mongolian army, withdrew one after another, and Wu Zijian and Li Tianlin, who had already fallen into a desperate and bitter battle, couldn't believe their eyes, they still didn't understand what was happening, until a few enemy engineers sent by Xiao Junping rushed over and told the deputy battalion commander that the cavalry company launched a surprise attack in the rear of the enemy, and Wu Zijian reacted.

Cavalry! It was the cavalry company that saved them in a critical moment!

"Report to the deputy battalion commander!" One of the enemy sappers panted and continued: "Captain Xiao suggested that you immediately lead your troops to retreat to the mountain pass, he said that the fighter plane is fleeting, do not make any hesitation and delay!" ”

Wu Zijian immediately understood the meaning of Xiao Junping's suggestion: he was worried that he would pursue the Japanese army in order to rescue Xia Lianshan's cavalry company! Indeed, Xia Lianshan's sneak attack was only a temporary success, and the Japanese army, which still had an absolute advantage in numbers, only needed to send a part of its troops to eliminate the trouble in the rear, once its main force turned back and entangled with Wu Zijian, it would be difficult to get out of the blue sky!

Captain Xiao was a bystander, and as the supreme commander of this battle, he must not be confused by the authorities - Wu Zijian gritted his teeth and ordered everyone to retreat to the mountain pass.

Li Tianlin was the first to quit, he rushed to Wu Zijian's side with emotion, pointed to the faintly visible rear battle scene, roared in a hoarse voice, and begged him to bring a platoon to kill alone.

"A platoon? Can a platoon save a cavalry company?! ”

Wu Zijian's eyes were almost on fire, and his face twitched and asked the commander of the 5th Company. Making this decision made him heartbroken, but as the deputy battalion commander, he had to ensure that the main force was safely transferred to Guanmen Mountain.

- Lianshan, my good brother, take care!

Li Tianlin howled and cried in the direction where the cavalry company was still fighting fiercely, and Wu Zijian blushed and ordered several soldiers to forcibly drag the commander of the 5th company into the mountain.

The day is about to dawn
