Seeing the company commander returning, all the security troops who were resting around the fire in a certain courtyard looked expectantly, and one of them asked: "Company commander, does the battalion commander agree to fight again at dawn?"

"Do you think the battalion commander is the sky? blind you!" The company commander stopped by the fire and glanced at his subordinates: "Get up for me, get ready to continue fighting!"

"This ......"

"This, this, surrounded the house across the alley from the yard to me. ”

"The house across the alley? That's not ...... either."

"Shut up!"

The soldiers were confused, although they were reluctant one by one, but this time at least they did not say that they would attack the courtyard, as long as they were not forced to enter the hell again. One by one, they got up with guns, went around the wall, and rushed to the mission site.

Soon, the company commander also came to the position, this house is located behind the bungalow, if you come out of the back window of the bungalow, across the alleyway is this house, which is equivalent to being close at hand. A group of subordinates were only surrounded on three sides, and there was hell on the other side of the lane, and no one dared to make do with the window roots over there, for fear of being dark.

The platoon commander came to the company commander and pointed to the dark and unbroken house that was surrounded: "This counts...... Wai Wei to save Zhao?"

"You know the, this is the last point we have to pull!"

“......”

Immediately, the company commander suddenly raised his tone and shouted loudly to his subordinates gathered around the house: "Brothers, let me hear clearly. The Imperial Army said that the battle must end tonight, but there was no discussion. For now, this is the last point, work harder, and only go to sleep after finishing your work. The second company is in a hurry to clean up the battlefield! The first company is waiting for the battle to end and withdraw the outpost! No one wants to suffer this crime again! But there is one thing, after the fight, you must take a closer look at me, there can be no one living mouth, no one can move again, if there is a gunshot after the fact, someone will slip out of the village, that is, chase to the dawn, chase to the ends of the earth, and the battle will not be over! No one will be better! Do you understand?"

A group of subordinates were dizzy, and the commander shouted What kind of nonsense is this?

"What are you doing in a daze? The battle starts now, fight me!"

The platoon commander next to him put the brim of his hat crooked with the muzzle of his gun: "Where are you going?"

"What do you say? Of course, there will be a fight!"

Some of the most intelligent people first understood that the company commander was shouting this to the brothers, but to the evil spirits in hell. Without saying a word, he pulled out the grenade and threw it into the dilapidated house surrounded on three sides.

Boom Boom Boom Boom –

Bang Bang -

"Come on! The first class rushed in with me...... No one is allowed to coax them!"

"Ahh

"! I warn you not to go too far!"

"Whew, I was shot, I don't believe it!"

"I'm rubbing, you're going to spank the second row on the other side, are you missing a heart?"

The frequent flashes of light in the night, the noise and tremors in the darkness, and the impassioned shouts all confirm in many ways what a fierce finishing battle this is.

......

To the south of Meixian County, it is equivalent to the safe area of the devil, and the easternmost part of the mountain range that stretches from east to west is Xinglong Town.

Xinglong Town is equivalent to the south gate of Meixian County, the terrain is flat and empty, and there is a blockade line, but compared with the complex environment in the north of Meixian, this is a safe area, and it is a flat river, and the devil is not yet able to do six miles and one artillery tower.

Construction was proceeding slowly, and there were not enough troops, so small earthen forts were set up every few miles, and patrols were set up between each other, and patrols were used to block off the outside. Everywhere in the wilderness and fields, there are no large-scale anti-Japanese forces here in the south, and the patrols are enough to blockade them.

A squad of the security forces, carrying a gun on their backs, walked out of the outpost, clamped their clothes and bowed their backs, and walked into the night in the cold wind, they had to walk more than five miles north, to the next outpost to warm up, and then walk back, back and forth in shifts, the distance was not too far.

The squad leader was flashlighting in front, but unfortunately the flashlight column was getting darker and darker, and the battery was dead. The snow field was flat in all directions, and there was no flashlight and it didn't delay too much, and a squad continued to walk in the snow in the dark.

"What's going on over there? Do you hear that?"

"Wind, huh?"

The patrol stopped, and one by one craned their necks to look west, and although it was night, the snow on the ground stretched the line of sight quite far.

"No, how do I sound like someone herding sheep?"

"Your house is black and blind to herd sheep, I'll go over and take a look!"

At this time, the squad leader raised his foot and kicked the soldier who wanted to go west into the snow, and at the same time whispered: "Get down!

There were a few muffled thunderbolts, and a squad was thrown into the snow, although there were few decent soldiers in the security army, but their squad leader was from a military background, and no one dared to refute the order.

After a soldier lay in the snow, he asked, "Squad leader, what's wrong?"

"That's not herding sheep, it's a procession!"

"Huh......? Is it the Imperial Army back?"

"The Imperial Army has motorcycles, mules and horses, what did you hear?"

"This ...... What kind of team will it be?"

"Shhhh

In the howling cold wind, there was a sound that gradually emerged, more and more distinct, it was the sound of many footsteps mixed together, getting closer, heavier and heavier, and rattling—as if flowing from the west.

Lying in the snow with their heads raised and staring, the patrol security soldiers gradually grinned one by one, and under the background of the snow, a continuous black line of shadows appeared in the field of vision under the night, like a dark giant snake, winding coming, seeing several security soldiers frozen in the snow, forgetting the cold, forgetting that the snow was melting in the cuffs, silently chanting the Bodhisattva in their hearts.

......

The procession was marching, marching through the desolate snowy fields under the cover of night.

Tired, heavy on footsteps, cold wind mixed with countless heavy gasps, but still rhythmic, evenly spaced.

The hearts of the patrolling security officers lying in the snow had already jumped to their throats, and this team was hurrying past a distance of dozens of meters in front of their eyes, and it seemed endless.

A tall figure suddenly stopped beside the group, and the rifle behind it was unusually long, because the bayonet was not removed. He seemed to be looking this way, obviously not worrying that he would find out, but several people were so frightened that they didn't even dare to breathe, and buried their faces in the snow, and then faintly heard the sound of conversation.

"Company commander, there are outposts in the north and south of the south, and we may run into the patrol. ”

"Bump into it, it doesn't matter, there's no decent structure in this place, they're all behind us. ”

"It's Xinglong Town in front of you, do you want to go around?"

"The regiment commander has an order, don't spare it, go directly into the town, you take a platoon to go in first, I will lead the second platoon behind you, don't worry about the firefight, there are not many troops in the town, you can be ruthless, we just need time, don't care about anything else!"

"Yes. ”

The tall soldier then disappeared into the flowing ranks.

Soon, a figure gasped and left the group to stop, rubbing his own waist. Another figure left the group and came behind him to help him beat his back, asking "Do you want to stop the group?"

"No, I'm fine. Inform the team that after entering Xinglong Town, take a twenty-minute break to eat. ”

"Shall we keep going east?"

"Of course not, after Xinglong Town, turn north and go on the main road. The next destination is the county seat of Meixian. ”

"Isn't that too much to hang?"

"Our greatest advantage is that we know that the main forces of the enemy are behind us. To the east may temporarily get rid of the pursuers, but the known will also become unknown, and the advantage will not be there. Maintaining the advantage to the end is victory, because the direction is in our hands, and those who chase cannot get it. ”

......

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the independent regiment entered Xinglong Town, and the battle was short enough to count in minutes, and after only a dozen gunshots, it was found that the Eighth Route was endless, and the plainclothes team, police, and a company of security troops fled cleanly. Commander Lu sat in the occupied town office, ate the captured hot food for twenty minutes by the stove left by his predecessors, and then walked out of the door tiredly with red eyes and lack of sleep, and led the team along the main road to the north overnight, in the direction of the county seat of Benmei County.

At about 9:30 p.m., the leader of a squadron of the devil entered the town office of Xinglong Town exhausted, and stared blankly at the big words painted on the office wall not long ago: The eighth road is heading north, a souvenir.

At ten o'clock in the evening, the devil Shaozuo, who was almost frozen by the cold wind, appeared in the town office of Xinglong Town, sat in the office painted with large characters, looked at the notebook left by the captain of the vanguard pursuit squadron, and confirmed that the Eighth Road had indeed gone north, and they were continuing to pursue.

Shao Zuo rested for a while, and finally figured it out, this is not a suspicious plan, the eighth road is to run back in a big circle, Meixian's troops are simply not enough to stop, and it can't be stopped this night, and nothing can be done before dawn. Originally, I thought that the Eighth Road was going to use this night to distance myself, but now I understand that the Eighth Road is going to use this night to cross the border near the county seat of Meixian County.

It turns out that this is a race with no technical content, not esoteric hide and seek at all!

Shao Zuo got up with a black face, picked up a brush on the desk, and wrote a few words under the sentence on the wall, 'Eight roads are heading north, take a memory', it is Japanese, at first glance, I don't understand, transliterated words, it seems that it should be pronounced: Eight grid tooth road!

......

In the early morning, the sky was still dark and the clouds had not dispersed.

North of Meixian County, west of Hekouying, on the bank of the Hunshui River, and south of Shiqiao.

Gao Yidao lay behind the snow on the bank of the river, his face covered with frost.

He stared at the stone bridge and was in trouble. On the north side of the stone bridge, next to the bridgehead, there is a bunker that looks like it has just been completed, and it is covered with snow and a layer of frost from last night. In this cold morning light, those shooting holes faintly lit up with fire, releasing warmth outward. At the north end of the bridge, there is a tattered wooden horse, which seems to have been burned by fire, and there is a puppet army behind the horse, carrying a gun, and it is freezing back and forth.

After running all night, he was so tired that he felt that he could fall asleep in the snow, Gao Yidao kicked the soldier next to him to cheer up, and then turned around and ran.

"There is a bunker on the north side of the bridge, which locks the bridge, and it seems that it was built not long ago. ”

Everyone present listened to it tightly, and the devil gritted his teeth and chased after him, chasing all night, like eating chicken blood. There was a bunker in front of me, and I was in trouble.

"How about going east along the river?" Hao Ping suggested tentatively.

Gao Yidao shook his head: "There are bridges far to the east, but there are also bunkers. The most critical problem is that it is dawn now, and the change of direction at this time will make the devil chase closer, and the river is flowing to the southeast. ”

"Fight it! Across the river, you can't sneak attack, you can't go around. Wu Yan said.

Gao Yidao raised his eyebrows: "That's what I thought." Then he looked at the regimental commander and waited for orders.

Although it is only a bunker, but stuck on the bridge, even if there are not many people in the bunker, only a light machine gun, in this case it will also be a man-eating machine, not to mention the current independent regiment, not to mention the cannon, not even a bag of explosives, you can imagine what the scene will be.

Captain Lu quietly looked at Gao Yidao with red eyes, and Gao Yidao quietly waited for Captain Lu to give him an order with red eyes. Just when Regiment Leader Lu gritted his teeth and was about to nod, Hao Ping suddenly said, "Let's try it three times, right?"

A few pairs of eyes turned smoothly, Gao Yidao did not show disdain, but frowned tightly and said: "What matters now is time, in terms of filling in the life charge, my second company will be more efficient than you." ”

Hao Ping didn't mind Gao Yidao's words: "I don't want to take the three companies to the bridge, don't forget, there are a lot of people in our company who don't wear military uniforms, I want to ...... Send two people with grenades and disguise themselves as passers-by to blend around the bunker. ”

"That's it!" Commander Lu raised his hand and pointed at a high knife: "Then your second company must also prepare for the charge, no matter whether this plan can be achieved or not, you must rush over closely!"

......

The two passers-by walked onto the stone bridge, and the puppet army after rejecting the horse raised their eyes to look.

"Stop!"

The two of them covered their big cotton jackets, copied their cuffs and hurriedly stopped behind the rejection: "Boss, cross the road, cross the road." ”

"I ask you, are you a poor man?"

"We ...... Do you see our virtues, are you rich?"

"Hmm...... Come on, come on. The puppet army then lifted the horse away.

The two passers-by were a little confused, and that's it? Didn't they even check if there was a certificate of good citizenship?

A passer-by walked towards the puppet army and said with a smile: "By the way, boss, I have to ask you for directions." ”

Another passerby made a beeline for the door of the bunker and ripped his torn jacket open, revealing a bundle of grenades that had been uncovered from the back.

"Hey, you-" The puppet soldier didn't expect his arm to be grabbed by this passerby, and then saw the grenade in his sleeve.

"Nian is very polite to you, don't move, otherwise we will collapse and die at this bridge!"

The passers-by who ran to the bunker went in and pulled their padded jackets without saying a word, and the bundle of grenades dumbfounded the few puppet soldiers who were sleeping on the fire in the bunker: "Strong man!

I didn't expect to get the signal from the bridgehead so easily, Gao Yidao rushed out of the hiding place with his subordinates, rushed across the stone bridge, and successfully occupied!

First signaled to the team south of the bridge, then arranged for his men to temporarily fortify nearby, and then Gao Yidao walked to the pillbox, where there was a fire, and he wanted to go and roast in the cold and tired.

As soon as he got inside, he stared at a prisoner in the bunker: "You ......"

One of the five honest puppet soldiers also froze: "Gao Yidao, grandma, I didn't wake up, did I?"

"When did you defect to the enemy?"

"Who has defected to the enemy? Lao Tzu is now a guerrilla!"

"What are you if you don't surrender?"

"This is our brothers from the second platoon of the ninth company, and the day before yesterday, a few of us just blacked out this bunker, and we plan to stay here for a few days to avoid the cold. ”

A few puppet army captives suddenly realized, and one by one they were overjoyed, and said to the five simple puppet soldiers: "Boss, it turns out that this is our own team?"

Gao Yidao took a deep breath, and finally understood that these were those who had changed into puppet army uniforms and stayed here after beating the bunker, and hurriedly signaled the pretending passer-by of the third company to put away the grenades, it was a new soldier to the third company, and he had never seen the bear of the ninth company.

Luo Fugui finally stood up from the ground gasping for breath, and a large wooden sign with charcoal characters fell down behind him.

Gao Yidao couldn't help but glance at it, and his eyes widened for the second time, and the sign actually read: Bridge toll!
