    Support medicine is different from support ammunition, and it cannot be counted as sending troops to assist. Liang Xixian could not directly object at this time. He finally said reluctantly: "Just do what the commander said."

    Liu Zhenghong's team is retreating to the north with all its strength, while Yuan Bearded's team is currently fighting with Shimada.  .

    Although Shimada's troops are not as mobile and fast as Iijima's troops, his troops have a kind of tenacity. These Japanese soldiers will not let go if they bite Yuan Bearded's troops.  Because the fighting has been going on for the past few days, Yuan Dashu's troops are not only exhausted from fighting, but the officers and soldiers are now running out of ammunition. If the fighting continues, Yuan Dashu's team will soon be unable to support it.  .

    Liu Zhenghong broke through the siege on a moonlit night by the lake, which made Iijima furious. This time he left behind the puppet troops who were assisting in the operation and led the Japanese army to pursue Liu Zhenghong's team overnight.

    Although the Japs walked along the lakeshore on a hunchback, they were traveling quickly and lightly. In addition, Liu Zhenghong and the others were exhausted. By the evening of the next day, Iijima and the others bit Liu Zhenghong and the others again.  In order not to fall into the Japanese siege, Liu Zhenghong and others could only send out small groups of troops to block the attack, and the large troops continued to march by force.

    In order to get out of danger as soon as possible, Liu Zhenghong's troops only had one meal for the entire day. Because all the people had moved away, the sick and wounded in the team had to be carried away by their comrades, which also seriously affected the marching speed of the troops.  .  However, the Japs behind them were still in hot pursuit. Seeing that the troops would once again be surrounded by the Japs, a feeling of failure began to pervade the team.

    That night when he broke out of the cold lake, Liu Zhenghong also suffered from the wind and cold. At this time, Liu Zhenghong was suffering from a high fever.  However, he did not let his comrades carry him, and he refused to ride a horse. He held a stick and marched hard with the help of the guards.

    Seeing that the soldier Meng was in a very low mood, and there were even some remarks about failure in the team, Liu Zhenghong cheered up and said loudly: "Comrades, although the Japs are behind you, it doesn't matter. Although the Japs' offensive is powerful, they are  In the short term, we revolutionary soldiers will be invincible. Comrades, as long as we survive this hurdle, the final victory will belong to us!"

    "But, we have no reinforcements and no place to go" someone in the team whispered.

    Liu Zhenghong smiled and said: "Who said we don't have reinforcements? Who said we have nowhere to go?"

    Liu Zhenghong pointed to the north and said: "Why should we go north? Everyone knows that there is the Ninth Detachment in the north, which is also our Chinese army. The Ninth Detachment is our friendly army and a staunch force in the fight against aggression. As long as we  Things will turn around once we get there.¡±

    Liu Zhenghong¡¯s tone was extremely firm. He wanted everyone to know that he had reached an agreement with the ninth detachment long ago, and his troops would definitely be safe when they got there.  But Liu Zhenghong knew in his heart that according to the current status of the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, even if his team could reach Niuwang Village, it would not be able to get cover in the end.  That's still unknown.

    With hope comes motivation. After some mobilization by Liu Zhenghong, the soldiers' motivation was indeed aroused.  The troops marched faster.

    " However, Iijima behind them did not rest either. He directed his men to pursue them closely.

    Iijima was determined to win this time. In response to the blockade arranged by Liu Zhenghong, Iijima even began to sacrifice the lives of soldiers and let the soldiers charge again and again.  Iijima has made up his mind that he will eat up Liu Zhenghong's small team this time.

    The territory of the Eighth Route Army's Northern Henan Division was not large, and its depth was also very shallow. The team led by Liu Zhenghong retreated while fighting. After two days and nights of hard fighting and forced marching, the team led by Liu Zhenghong retreated.  They finally arrived at the foot of the mountain in Shangzhai of Niuwangzhai one evening.

    When Liu Zhenghong¡¯s team arrived here, they were really out of ammunition and food.  With the arrival of the Eighth Route Army, the Iijima troops that followed also came to the foot of the mountain.

    Under the surveillance of Liang Xixian and others, Xiao Liuzi had no choice but to put his troops on the front line, but he could not order the soldiers to attack.

    From the perspective of the Eighth Route Army, the Ninth Detachment is a friendly force.  But now they are aiming at him.  Under the surveillance of Liang Xixian and others, this friendly force not only refused to give way, they even disappeared from the contact personnel sent by Liu Zhenghong.

    They thought that the friendly forces might give them a way to clear the way, but now the friendly forces have become a wall blocking them, and Liu Zhenghong and others once again reached the point of no where to go.  Behind him, the Japanese were pressing forward in a three-sided siege, and Liu Zhenghong's team had run out of ammunition and food.

    At this moment of life and death, some soldiers began to organize their bayonets, collect the last bullets, and prepare for the final battle, while some had dim vision and their military morale began to waver.

    The devil¡¯s bagThe circle has basically been formed, and they are arranging the team, and the last-minute attack is about to be launched. At this moment, Ma Chunchang, who was wearing makeup, brought two soldiers to Liu Zhenghong.

    Li Qinglin decided to send some medicines to Liu Zhenghong, but this action was not carried out due to the obstruction of Liang Xixian.  Ma Chunchang was able to come to Liu Zhenghong now only under the strict cover of Li Qinglin and Xiao Liuzi.

    "Political Commissar Liu, for various reasons, you cannot pass the road ahead. However, there is a drainage ditch below along our front trenches. You can move out from there and follow this ditch to the east or west.  . We have quietly placed some ammunition, as well as some food and medicine in the ditch. You should take it with you when the time comes. Also, be sure not to make any noise when you leave, our brothers will give you some cover."

    Liu Zhenghong was overjoyed. He excitedly held Ma Chunchang's hand and said, "Thank you to the friendly forces, thank you to the friendly forces!"

    Ma Chunchang said in a low voice: "Commander Li said before he came that you are his teacher and he cannot ignore death. You also know the situation in our team. The Central Commander has many eyes and ears. Commander Li hopes that your actions will be kept secret."  , move quickly, we must rush out from here tonight."

    Xiaoliuzi built a lot of fortifications in Niuwang Village. These fortifications were basically built using natural conditions and local materials.  At the foot of Niuwang Village, there is a ditch that has been eroded by rain over the years.  This ditch is about three to four meters deep and about ten meters wide. It is a dry ditch. There is water in the ditch only when it rains.  This ditch is deep enough that ordinary people walking in it cannot see it from the ground. Li Qinglin arranged for Liu Zhenghong and the others to retreat through this ditch. This is indeed a good plan.

    This place is too close to the frontier of Niuwang Village. If Liang Xixian's eyes and ears were more careful, they would also be able to discover the whereabouts of Ma Chunchang and the three men.  After saying the above, Ma Chunchang did not dare to stay long. He and the two soldiers left the ammunition on their bodies, and then quietly sneaked back to their front line.

    The sun was almost setting, but Iijima was already approaching.  Under the command of Iijima, the Japanese soldiers did not build some necessary fortifications on the spot. They directly formed a skirmish attack formation and began to attack Liu Zhenghong.

    Iijima knew that Liu Zhenghong and the others were running out of ammunition, and that the first brigade of the Ninth Detachment was eyeing the other side.  Iijima is not sure whether the KMT army will finally come to the rescue.  In order to deal with Liu Zhenghong's small team once and for all, Iijima did not want to repeat the mistakes of the lakeside again. He ordered his soldiers to launch an attack immediately.

    If the troops of the Eighth Route Army want to retreat safely, they must pass through the drainage ditch in front of a large group of fortifications.  This would not only catch the Japanese off guard, but also cover the eyes and ears of Liang Xixian and others, so they had to operate in the dark.  But it is still very bright now, and the troops must withstand the enemy's attack before dark.

    The Japanese gradually came forward, and soldiers on Liu Zhenghong's side began to shoot, but the gunshots were very sparse because they had run out of bullets. It seemed that Liu Zhenghong and the others would have difficulty withstanding this last period of time.

    At this extremely critical moment, Zhou Yougen suddenly asked the soldiers to bring in all the mules and horses.  There are six mules and horses in total. They usually carry food and ammunition for the team. Now that the food and ammunition have been exhausted, the mules and horses are currently only used to ride on wounded and sick soldiers.

    "Zhou Yougen, what do you want to do?" Liu Zhenghong grabbed the reins of the horse Zhou Yougen was riding and asked sharply.

    The speed of mules and horses is much faster than that of people. Now Zhou Yougen and five soldiers are riding on the horses. This is obviously to break out of the encirclement on his own, because Zhou Yougen's actions did not obtain Liu Zhenghong's consent. Zhou Yougen's behavior can be regarded as a battlefield escape.  .

    "Political Commissar, it's too late. I took the soldiers and pretended to be you. Now I'm riding a horse to break through. The Japanese will probably divide their troops to stop me. In this way, we can waste this time. Political Commissar, goodbye." Zhou Yougen said with all his strength.  He pulled it back and took the reins back.

    "Comrades, come with me!" Zhou Yougen shouted, and then whipped the horse under his crotch.  The horse was in pain. It stretched out its hooves and rushed forward quickly.  The five warriors who had been prepared also waved their riding whips, and they rushed out behind Zhou Yougen.

    Iijima was observing the situation on the battlefield with a telescope. Seeing that the ninth detachment was ready to block Liu Zhenghong's way, Iijima was secretly happy, and at the same time he was full of disdain for the army's team: "This group of detachments, that pig, really  It¡¯s reached a point of hopelessness!¡±

    Iijima saw from the telescope that his soldiers were approaching the Eighth Route Army step by step, but the Eighth Route Army had nowhere to escape, and the counterattack was not very powerful.  Judging from the current situation, Iijima seems to be able to solve the problem with just one charge on his side. If he can eliminate this Eighth Route Army this time, he will get military glory. This is the dream of Iijima, the emperor.?'s.

    Just when Iijima was complacent, there was a sudden burst of gunfire on the battlefield, and six war horses suddenly appeared on the battlefield. These horses riding six warriors were like a whirlwind, rushing towards the south.
