Feng Ye was hiding from the devils in the crop field, and in Sanli Town, Mei Chunhua had already received the news that the Jiufangling position was lost.

"Did anyone break through?"

Mei Chunhua asked the staff officer who came to report.

"The scouts were two kilometers away from Jiufang Ridge, and they only saw the devils of the brigade passing through Jiufang Ridge, where the gunfire had stopped."

The staff officer replied to what he knew, it doesn't matter if anyone breaks through now, the one who breaks through is the one who runs away, that is, he gives up his position without authorization, and he wants to eat military law, and if no one comes out, he will naturally fight all the devils.

"The order was recorded, ordering the battalion directly under it to withdraw from the Jiufangling position at half past three in the afternoon of July 8 and return to Sanli Town to stand by; This command is issued immediately and archived. ”

Mei Chunhua looked at his watch, it was almost four o'clock, and he deliberately set the retreat time forward a little, so that if there were remnants of soldiers who broke through, it would not be regarded as disobeying the order.

"Brigadier, this ......"

The operational staff officer didn't know what to do, and the most important thing was who he asked to convey the order?

"You don't care."

The chief of staff took over the written order from the hands of the operational staff officer, and after Mei Chuanhua signed it, the chief of staff directly asked the staff officer to file it, of course he understood what the brigade commander meant, didn't he just reserve a hope for those brothers who broke through?

"Order Long Zuocai, the devil will definitely launch an attack before dark, let him be prepared, the defense line of Sanli Town cannot be lost before dark."

Mei Chunhua then gave the order.

It's not that Mei Chunhua favors one over the other, but now there is only one defense line repaired in Sanli Town, and the second line of defense is still under intense construction.

"Yes!"

After the combat staff officer saluted, he quickly ran out of the brigade headquarters to convey the order.

Nearly a kilometer east of Jiufang Ridge, Feng Ye was still squatting in the crop field, and the devils outside did not leave, but the gunfire stopped, and the devils were very entangled now, he hoped that the rout had fled, but he was afraid that the rout was hiding inside, because he wanted to search and prove his guess.

"Your Excellency, the Chinese should have run eastward, should they continue the pursuit?"

A military cao suggested to the second lieutenant squad leader that all the devils here did not want to search in the crop fields, and the performance of these Chinese soldiers in the position had won their respect, and they were afraid that they would have a hand-to-hand encounter with the Chinese soldiers inside, so that even if they could win, I am afraid that there would not be a few soldiers left.

"Don't chase it, go back!"

The devil officer shouted loudly and signaled to retreat.

"Yes!"

The devil soldiers re-shouldered their guns and headed back towards the avenue, where the devil's brigade of infantry had just passed.

"Whew!"

"Hoo ......"

Inside the fields, all the brothers did not even dare to come out of the air, and lay on the ground.

"Is the devil gone?"

Gao Yurong guessed in a low voice that the devil's gunfire had stopped for a few minutes, but there was still no infantry entering the crop field, so there was only one possibility, that is, the devil had left.

"Don't move, we'll wait here just in time for the brethren to rest."

Feng Yi said softly, he didn't dare to bet now, because the capital was running out, in case the devils didn't leave now, as soon as they moved, their positions would be exposed, so that the devils could wait outside for them to hit the muzzle.

Time passed minute by minute, and in Feng Yi's expectation, the sun slowly sank in the west, and it was almost dark when he saw it.

"Boom, boom......"

The sound of artillery bombardment came from afar, and Feng Yi's whole body was shocked and his ears pricked up.

"Battalion commander, it's in the direction of Sanli Town."

The big man Min pointed to the southwest and said.

"The devil has arrived in Sanli Town and launched an attack."

Feng Ye said softly.

"Hmm!"

Several company platoon commanders nodded, they had already violated the military order by retreating ahead of schedule this time; Now he survived, but Feng Ye had to think about what to do when he went back.

"Let the brothers move their hands and feet, and we will go back to Sanli Town."

Feng Ye squatted up, rubbing his legs and feet alternately.

"Gollum ......"

As more and more brothers crouched up, there was a sound in the stomachs of several of the brothers, who were hungry, and they had not eaten since the morning battle.

"It's almost over, let's go!"

Feng Ye was also very hungry, but he didn't have anything to eat now.

In Sanli Town, the devil's plane had just bombed here, and the explosion that Feng Ye heard was from the explosion of the aerial bomb, and the town was plunged into a sea of fire, but fortunately, the people and materials had run out, and most of the soldiers stayed in the positions outside the town, except for the burning houses, the loss of personnel was not large.

"Enter the position, the devil is going to attack."

Long Zuocai shouted loudly, after the devil's plane was bombed, the devil's mountain artillery and field artillery would continue to shell, and then the devil's infantry attacked, which has been a routine for the devil for several years.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

As Long Zuocai judged, the bombardment of the devil's mountain artillery and field artillery came quickly, and the shells fell on the position, blowing up a puff of dirt, and the corpses of Chinese soldiers were mixed in the middle.

"Attack!"

After several rounds of artillery fire, the devil officer ordered the devil to start attacking, in front of him, Sanli Town has completely fallen into a sea of fire, there are traces of Chinese digging trenches in front of him, but he believes more in the power of mountain artillery, after a few rounds of artillery fire, there are definitely not many **** people on the position.

"Your Excellency, the Chinese should have run out!"

A ghost officer pointed to the burning town of Sanli, and there were no screams in it, and there were no Chinese fighting the fire, which only proved that the Chinese here had retreated.

"Hukou is lost, and there is no point for the Chinese to hold here, and they lost Jiufang Ridge just to buy time for the troops here to retreat."

Watching the devils of the two squads bend down and attack Sanli Town, the devil officers did not have the slightest sense of being blocked.

"Hold steady, wait for the devil to get close before firing!"

"Heavy gunner, the first strafing must be accurate."

On the position, the commander of the first battalion of the 61st Regiment shouted, let his brothers get ready, in the artillery fire just now, his brothers relied on the anti-artillery holes, and the casualties were not large, and now the devil infantry attacked, it was his turn to perform.

"Kill and give!"

The devil army Cao roared, kept waving his arms, signaling the devils to speed up the attack, they were just here to explore the way, find out the distribution of fire on the Chinese positions, and provide parameters for the next wave of shelling.

"Huhuhu......"

Getting closer and closer to the position, the devil had already seen the reflection behind the trench, it was the light of the setting sun shining on the steel helmet, and there were Chinese soldiers on the position, that was for sure.

The devils bent over, in groups of three and five, and ran forward at an accelerated pace, and a group of people crouched down after running a few steps, raising their guns to cover the devils behind.

"One hundred and fifty meters!"

A company shouted the number, indicating that the battalion commander had reached the distance of firing.

"Hold on, there aren't many devils, don't let these gourds go back."

The commander of the first battalion watched less than a hundred devils scatter and rush towards the position, and did not give the order to fire, he was waiting for the devils to enter a hundred meters, so that the devils would not be able to run if they wanted to.

"A hundred meters!"

"Brethren! Give Lao Tzu a hit! ”

With the shouting of the company commander, the commander of the first battalion gave the order to open fire, this is a positional offensive and defensive battle under the sunset, but the soldiers of the sixty-first regiment have already prepared, and the devil did not expect that they would encounter such a strong firepower defense here.

"Da Da Da ......"

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

"Bang, bang, bang......"

In the blink of an eye, the light and heavy machine guns on the position began to roar, and the rifles were designed at the same time, and suddenly more than twenty devils who bent forward were overturned.
