The 57th Wing of the 52nd Division of the Little Devils, under the leadership of Wing Commander Naotoshi Sakata, reorganized the team and rushed towards Niangzi Pass in great strides.

The 57th Field Artillery Wing of the 57th Division took their artillery to a wide flat area next to the road, where they prepared to set up artillery.

Then the Jin Sui army on the Niangzi Pass was shelled.

Their heavy artillery has a range of more than 6 kilometers, and this place is less than 5 kilometers away from Niangzi Pass, so of course artillery positions can be deployed.

……

Just when they were sharpening their knives against Niangziguan, in the city of Niangziguan, in Chu Yunfei's temporary brigade headquarters, Fang Ligong said to Chu Yunfei with a worried face:

"Brigade, we have occupied Niangzi Pass for two days, why hasn't the little devil moved at all?

I always feel that it is not normal! ”

"It's not normal.

But I think it's reasonable. ”

Chu Yunfei said a contradictory sentence, which immediately filled Fang Ligong's mind with question marks.

He hurriedly asked:

"Traveler, what do you mean—"

"The little devils have suffered such a big loss, and it is their habit to fight back immediately in theory.

But now the mobile forces of the little devils in northern Hebei and Jindi are all dragged in Zhongtiao Mountain, and they can't spare their troops to recapture Niangzi Pass, which is also very reasonable.

And Li Yunlong hit the water spring, which is what the little devils can't bear even more.

Therefore, even if the little devil finally scrapes together and makes some troops out, he should go to Li Yunlong's trouble first.

It's not my turn to be the 9th Brigade alone! ”

Chu Yunfei explained.

"I see.

No wonder you sent someone to keep an eye on the water spring, presumably to see when the army of little devils launched an attack on the water spring?

And then decide on our actions? ”

Fang Ligong nodded, secretly admiring the other party's foresight.

Unexpectedly, before he took the Niangzi Pass, he sent scouts to Shuiquan.

"No?

I just want to see if Li Yunlong can keep the water spring.

As for us?

Tomorrow at the latest, we must withdraw? ”

Chu Yunfei cut categorically.

"Withdraw tomorrow?

Commander Yang said in his telegram yesterday that the reporter who was going to come for an interview has not yet arrived! ”

Fang Ligong is a little unsightly.

He is also ready to stand on the Niangzi Pass and be interviewed by reporters!

With a photo of yourself standing proudly under the military flag, it is enough to reminisce about the glory of a lifetime!

"If you don't withdraw, you can't do it!

We didn't have much food seized in Niangziguan, and the terrain here is steep, and it is difficult to transport materials.

There are 7,000 of us guarding here, and if we run out of food, it will be too dangerous!

Anyway, we have already taken enough photos to send someone to the headquarters of the Second War Zone, and it doesn't hurt whether the reporter comes or not. ”

Chu Yunfei explained.

Hearing him talk about the food problem, Fang Ligong was shocked and quickly nodded:

"Traveler Takami!

I will now go and inform the regimental commanders to prepare for the withdrawal of troops in advance. ”

However, before he could go out, a sentry outside suddenly ran in and shouted:

"Brigade, East ...... There are a lot of little devils coming to the east!

It's charging towards us, and it is estimated that it will take less than ten minutes at most to rush to us! ”

"What? Little devils?

How many people came? ”

Chu Yunfei's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly asked.

"At least one wing! Mighty! ”

The sentinels panicked.

"Good guy, you really look up to me Chu Yunfei!

I actually sent a team to recapture Niangzi Pass! ”

Chu Yunfei slapped the table fiercely.

"What do we do now?"

Fang Ligong hurriedly asked.

"Fight and retreat, quick!"

Chu Yunfei gave a resolute order.

"Yes!"

Fang Ligong immediately received the order and prepared to pass the order.

However, as soon as he walked out of Chu Yunfei's temporary brigade headquarters, he heard a whistling sound of "Xiu Xiu" outside, and hurriedly shouted in horror:

"Brigade seat, shelling!

Fast! Dodge the guns! ”

Hearing this sound, Chu Yunfei dodged and rushed out of the room, and then saw dozens of cannonballs in the sky falling towards him.

"Bastard!

How is the guard post put on guard?

The little devil artillery is close, and they haven't noticed? ”

Chu Yunfei roared angrily, and then a hungry tiger pounced, hid in the corner, held his head in his hands, and squatted on the ground.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

……

The sound of dense shell explosions resounded throughout Niangzi Pass.

The bombing caused the soldiers of the 9th Brigade to panic and rush to the wolves.

Chu Yunfei listened to the sound of the cannon, and couldn't help but laugh angrily:

"Good guy, the little devil really looks up to me Chu Yunfei!

Actually shelled me with an artillery wing!

Haha......"

Fang Ligong climbed up to him and asked with an anxious face:

"Brigade seat, it sounds like there is still movement of 105mm howitzers!

Judging from the establishment of the little devils, what is shelling us now may be the artillery wing of the division and regiment, and we will not be surrounded by a division of the little devils, right? ”

When Chu Yunfei heard this, his brows furrowed into the word "Sichuan".

If he was really surrounded by a division of little devils, then his 9th Brigade would be difficult to fly today!

No matter how confident he is, he will not think that he can kill the encirclement of a division of a little devil with a brigade of 7,000 people!

Not to mention him Chu Yunfei, he felt that even if his immediate boss, Commander Yang Xingru, led a division or even an army, surrounded by a division of little devils, he might not be able to escape!

But for now, he can't sit back and wait for death.

After thirty seconds of high-speed operation in his brain, he yelled at the other party's meritorious order:

"Brother Meritorious Service, it's hard to say whether we are surrounded or not.

But I estimate that the enemy is all of them, and it must be a division.

With such a huge force, we are simply not capable of the enemy!

Immediately order the entire brigade to retreat!

The artillery battalion left half a battalion and shelled the wing that rushed from the east of the little devils with all its might! ”

According to common sense, in the face of enemy artillery bombardment, if your own artillery has the power to counterattack, you should go all out to fight the enemy's artillery and destroy the opponent's artillery.

But now Chu Yunfei knows very well that his artillery battalion has only 12 75mm mountain guns, and if he wants to fight against an elite artillery wing of the little devil, it is simply an egg hitting a stone.

Maybe after a few rounds of shelling, your own artillery will be wiped out.

And the enemy, probably, at most, will lose three or five artillery pieces, a hundred or so artillery.

So, instead of giving such an order, he chose to let the artillery shell the enemy's infantry.

In this way, at the very least, it can greatly delay the charge of the enemy's infantry and buy time for its own soldiers to retreat.

In the electric light and stone fire, he actually used the tactics of "Tian Ji Horse Racing", which can be regarded as a proficient knowledge of the art of war.

"Yes!"

Fang Ligong understood what he meant by sacrificing half of the artillery battalion to give the whole brigade a chance to retreat.

Although the flesh hurt the 6 mountain cannons, at this moment, he had no better way but to carry out Chu Yunfei's orders.

……

Under the "booming" artillery fire, Fang Ligong rushed into the house and frantically called the regiments and battalions stationed in various places in this Niangzi Pass.

Tell them to immediately abandon all unnecessary supplies and retreat with all their might.

This telephone line was also left by the little devils before, and after they occupied Niangzi Pass, they repaired it a little and used it.

At this moment, it has played a big role.

In less than three minutes, Fang Ligong notified the retreat order to all regiments and battalions of the 9th Independent Brigade.

Then the men immediately abandoned their positions and began to retreat to the west.

Many recruits listened to the terrible sound of the cannons, and even threw away their guns and ammunition, trying to run fast - one of them.

However, Liang Guoping, the commander of the artillery battalion, was distraught.

Fang Ligong asked him to leave half a battalion to shoot at the little devil, could he still not understand what it meant?

As an old artilleryman, he knew very well that as soon as his 6 mountain guns were fired, he was afraid that he would immediately usher in the full force of the little devil.

Even if the position is quickly shifted, it is difficult to completely avoid it.

Looking at the cannonballs flying in the sky, he knew that he chose to let those people stay, just let those people die!

They are all brothers who stir horses and spoons in a pot, how can he bear it!

He hid himself behind a wall, and then used his binoculars to observe the little devils rushing under the gate.

Seeing the thousands of people rushing towards him like tigers and wolves, he only felt a chill all over his body.

A thought flashed in my heart - if I don't withdraw, I will be made dumplings by the little devil!

Thinking of this, he could only shout and order:

"There is an order from the brigade seat, the third and fourth companies, immediately disperse the artillery, shell the little devil infantry, and interrupt their charging momentum!

Others, push the cannon and retreat!

Fast! Fast! Fast! ”

When the crisis of life and death came, he still chose "Dead Dao Friends Do Not Die Poor Dao", sacrificing his third and fourth companies.

I have to say that there are still people who are willing to carry out Chu Yunfei's orders.

With Liang Guoping's order, the soldiers of the third and fourth companies of the artillery battalion hurriedly braved the shrapnel flying in the sky, rushed out of the hiding place, pushed their own artillery and advanced to the open area of the front firing range, ready to shell.

……

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

……

The raindrops of cannonballs kept falling on the Niangzi Pass, blowing up this ancient city that had gone through thousands of years of war.

It seems like it's going to collapse at any moment.

A 105-mm howitzer is really powerful!

Often one shot goes down, within a radius of twenty or thirty meters, shrapnel flies, gravel splashes, and not a single inch of grass remains!

But fortunately, they obeyed Akiba's orders and stopped shelling after only two rounds.

It can be regarded as giving the 9th Brigade a chance to escape!

Seeing that the enemy's artillery fire had stopped, Chu Yunfei hurriedly stood up, ran to a commanding height, and then used a telescope to check the situation of the entire battlefield.

Then he saw that the soldiers of the little devil's wing, under the leadership of the officer, were rushing towards Niangzi Pass with a shout.

The momentum is extremely vicious, and the speed is as fast as the wind.

Seeing this kind of offensive of the little devil, Chu Yunfei no longer had any luck in his heart.

- This is definitely an elite field unit of little devils, and it is definitely not a second-line garrison force!

Seeing that his soldiers were throwing away their armor and retreating, he could only shout to Sun Ming who came over:

"Sun Ming, quick!

Organize a group of people to set up heavy machine guns at the commanding heights behind to cover the retreat of the troops! ”

"Yes!"

Sun Ming didn't have any fear, and after agreeing, he shouted loudly, and organized more than 100 people to set up heavy machine gun fire points at the commanding heights behind.

……

At this time, Fang Ligong rushed over and shouted at Chu Yunfei:

"Brigade, the little devil is powerful, let's withdraw too!

Their artillery positions are set up outside our line of sight, and they will continue to shell if they are not even! ”

Chu Yunfei shook his head and said:

"Brother Meritorious Service, you lead people to withdraw first and set up a fire cover point in the back!

The brothers haven't withdrawn yet, and I, Chu Yunfei, can't run first by myself! ”

He knew very well that if his brigade ran first, the already sudden retreat would become even more chaotic.

When the time comes, the 9th Independent Brigade, which it has managed to pull up with great difficulty, may completely collapse.

He Chu Yunfei must not accept this situation!

When Fang Ligong heard what he said, he couldn't help but be anxious, and hurriedly persuaded:

"Brigade, 'stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood'!

You are a golden body, you should not take risks! ”

Chu Yunfei shook his head firmly:

"Brother Meritorious Service, you don't need to persuade you.

I, Chu Yunfei, can withdraw, but I must not withdraw in front of the brothers!

Immediately carry out the order and take people to prepare for the blockade and cover!

Now we are running in such a swarm, we can't run far! ”

Seeing that his attitude was so firm, Fang Ligong could only agree to come down, and immediately took someone to do it.

Seeing Fang Ligong and the others leaving, Chu Yunfei immediately said to the soldiers of the guard company beside him:

"Come with me and stop the little devils!

These bitches want to eat me Chu Yunfei, so they have to break half of their teeth! ”
