- The six men on horseback all wore the gray military uniforms of the Eighth Route Army. The leading commander waved a shell gun, followed closely by a soldier holding a Czech machine gun. This soldier holding a machine gun kept firing. The launch seems to be opening the way for the firepower of the commander in front.
The first thought came to Iijima's mind: "Important figures in the Eighth Route Army want to break out!".
"Suspend the attack and stop the enemy!" Iijima issued such an order without thinking.
In fact, before Iijima gave the order, his soldiers had already started firing on the ground to block the sudden appearance of the cavalry. Suddenly, the Japanese bullets shot towards Zhou Yougen and others like locusts.
Zhou Yougen and others rushed to the south. This is where the main force of Iijima is located, and the firepower here is the most powerful.
To deal with fast-moving cavalry, it is almost impossible to shoot accurately. The best way is to cover the area with area-killing weapons such as artillery fire. For example, the Japanese grenade played a very good blocking role. Before Zhou Yougen and others could rush to the opponent's front line, there was already a war horse in their own team and the soldiers were injured and killed.
It was definitely impossible to rush to the south. Zhou Yougen whipped his horse and shouted loudly: "Follow me and rush to the east!"
The Japanese encirclement was not complete, and the gaps were mainly on the east and west sides. Because the mountain is the position of the National Army, there is a distance of more than 300 meters between the same Japanese group, but this distance can also be regarded as the death distance, and everything here is within the shooting range of the Japanese and the first group.
Zhou Yougen and the remaining three soldiers rushed here on horseback, and the Japanese who had been waiting for a long time opened fire. The red sun was about to set in the west. In the eyes of the devils, four people and four horsemen, covered in rays of light, came roaring like gods.
In order to block the so-called Eighth Route Army officials, the Japs spared no effort in ammunition and opened fire with machine guns, rifles and grenade launchers. Bullets whizzed by, and grenades exploded all around, in this iron and fire. A horse was shot. Zhou Yougen was about to rush in front of the enemy. Of the four people who had just started, only Zhou Yougen and the machine gunner were left. Zhou Yougen's small team that lured the enemy was about to be wiped out.
At this moment, the machine gun on the Niuwangzhai position rang out. This was fired by a machine gunner from a large group on his own. As a Chinese citizen, his compatriots were being shot and killed by the enemy indiscriminately on his own land. This machine gunner couldn't bear it anymore. Without anyone's order, he decisively pulled the trigger and fired. .
"Da da, da da da" The Japanese were startled by the sudden machine gun bullets fired from the Niu Wangzhai position. Some of the threatened Japanese soldiers began to turn their guns and shoot at the soldiers of the first brigade. The firepower directed at Zhou Yougen and the two men was finally dispersed.
Just when Zhou Yougen was about to break out of the enemy's encirclement, a Japanese machine gun fired at him. The soldier following him was shot in the chest and fell off his horse.
Almost at the same time, Zhou Yougen felt as if someone had hit him hard in the abdomen. This blow almost knocked Zhou Yougen off his horse. Zhou Yougen soon felt the wetness of the area where he was hit hard, and he knew in his heart that he had been shot.
The wound began to hurt, and Zhou Yougen covered the wound with one hand. The other hand kept whipping the horse, and he knew he couldn't stop. His only way to survive was to rush out.
The waist area is getting wetter. The wound began to hurt, and it was obvious that the wound was bleeding profusely. Zhou Yougen, who was riding the horse, felt dizzy for a while. He had to lie down on the saddle and let the horse gallop all the way to the east.
Zhou Yougen's cavalry breakout paused Iijima's attack, because Iijima really didn't know if there would be a new breakout team on the 8th Route, and he had to stabilize his position first.
The sacrifices of Zhou Yougen and others consumed some time in Iijima. The sun finally set on the horizon, and the night Liu Zhenghong had been looking forward to finally arrived.
The Japanese soldiers lit fires on three sides, and fires were also lit at the front of Niuwang Village. But the eight-pronged team sandwiched in the middle didn't have a trace of fire at all.
Not lighting a fire means there is no hot food to eat, and the soldiers will be very cold at night. Iijima, who is eating dinner beautifully with a hot lunch box in his hand, thinks that in the morning tomorrow, his soldiers will kill the enemy with just one charge. Eliminate all those cold and hungry Eight Route Army soldiers.
There seems to be no movement at all on Liu Zhenghong¡¯s side. In fact, Liu Zhenghong¡¯s side is preparing to move quickly from the bottom of the ditch. The war dead have been buried. The wounded had been carried, and some things that could not be carried were buried on the spot. Everyone gathered together, waiting for Liu Zhenghong's order.
"Let's go!" Seeing that everything was ready, Liu Zhenghong issued the order.
Originally, the best time to break out of an encirclement was at one or two o'clock at night when the enemy was most tired, but now his troops could no longer hold out for that time, so Liu Zhenghong could only?Ordering the troops to break out at this not the best time.
The troops soon reached the bottom of the ditch. There were large and small rocks at the bottom of the ditch. From time to time, people tripped over the rocks, but no one cried out in pain.
The torches in Niuwang Village illuminated the bottom of the ditch very brightly, so there was basically no problem with the troops marching. As expected, Liu Zhenghong and the others found some sacks at the bottom of the ditch. The sacks contained some steamed buns and some ammunition, which Ma Chunchang and the others had dropped long ago. Liu Zhenghong asked everyone to divide the ammunition, and then each person took two more steamed buns. They gnawed on the steamed buns and walked eastward along the ditch.
In the afternoon, the Japanese army had discovered a deep ditch under Niuwang Village, but Iijima believed that the ditch was right under the nose of the first brigade, and judging from the current situation, it was impossible for the National Army to let the Eighth Route Army pass through. They passed here, so at night, they also sent a few people to sneak out to the ditch to guard.
In order to get out of danger as soon as possible, Liu Zhenghong and the others walked very fast. But just as they reached the exit, the gunfire from the Japanese guard post rang out.
Because this place is only forty or fifty meters away from the fortifications of Niuwang Village, in order not to irritate a large group of soldiers, the Japanese only sent two soldiers to guard. It was only seven or eight o'clock now, and the Japanese sentries were very alert. The sound of people moving at the bottom of the ditch alerted them. When they discovered Liu Zhenghong and others, they immediately fired warning shots.
The sound of gunfire alerted Iijima. Iijima soon realized that it was the Eighth Route Army breaking out of the encirclement. He immediately ordered the soldiers to attack forward and try to block Liu Zhenghong.
On the position of Niu Wangzhai, Xiao Liuzi went to the front line in person.
The gunshot rang out, and the silhouette of a person in the night was obviously a Japanese attack.
"The devil is here, beat me hard!" Xiao Liuzi ordered.
In a moment, the machine guns in the fortifications fired, and the rifles on the position also fired. Flames continued to emerge from the muzzles, and bullets shot towards the black shadows like raindrops.
At this moment, the phone in the fortification rang. It turned out to be Liang Xixian calling.
"What's going on at the forefront? Why did you shoot?" Liang Xixian seemed to realize something, and she asked sharply.
Xiao Liuzi shouted: "Report to Director Liang that the Japanese took advantage of the darkness to launch a fierce attack on my position. Are we counterattacking?"
"Is Iijima crazy? Will he attack us?" Liang Xixian seemed a little unconvinced.
Xiao Liuzi¡¯s blocking shot worked. The Japanese soldiers who were rushing upward were stopped forty or fifty meters away from the ditch by the rain of bullets. The Japanese who were attacked head-on by the First Brigade began to fight back. The angry Japanese began to vent their firepower on the First Brigade. Suddenly the gunshots exploded like fried beans, and the explosions of grenades were almost continuous. .
Xiao Liuzi was too lazy to talk to Liang Xixian. She shouted into the microphone: "The Japanese are coming up soon. Listen for yourself. They are preparing for firepower."
After saying that, Xiao Liuzi raised the microphone in his hand. He wanted Liang Xixian to hear the sound of the Japanese guns and artillery with his own ears.
On the other end of the phone, Liang Xixian held the microphone in his hand and was puzzled. The Japanese want to eliminate the Eighth Route, but our side has already blocked the Eighth Route. Is there no need for Iijima to attack him?
Li Qinglin was with Liang Xixian. He snatched the microphone from Liang Xixian's hand and said, "Why are you still standing there? Come to the front line and let's go see what's going on."
Seeing that Liang Xixian was still in a daze, Li Qinglin waved his hand and said, "Old Liang, you should stay at the headquarters. I'll just go and take a look."
By the time Li Qinglin and his men arrived at the front, the sound of gunfire had become sparse. This was not because Xiaoliuzi had reduced its firepower, but because Iijima had woken up. Iijima realized that he really should not engage in firefights with the Japanese at this time. His most important task at this time should be to pursue Liu Zhenghong. Therefore, Iijima ordered the troops to retreat from the front one by one in order to pursue Liu Zhenghong's team.
In Xiaoliuzi¡¯s fortification, Li Qinglin listened to the sound of the enemy¡¯s guns. Soon, Li Qinglin issued an order: ¡°Let the artillery platoon fire two rounds on the enemy¡¯s head!¡±
Artillery shells are already in short supply in the Ninth Detachment. Even if the gunfire was so fierce just now, Xiao Liuzi would not be willing to fire a big one. Now that Liu Zhenghong and the others have gone out safely, the Japanese also want to stop, Xiao Liuzi is thinking I didn't want to waste such precious shells, so I looked a little reluctant.
Li Qinglin patted Xiao Liuzi on the shoulder and said: "Liuzi, although the Eighth Route Army and the others have gone out, they have not gone far. If the Japanese can catch up in time, they can still catch up tonight. Let's fire a few shots at this time, maybe we can delay them longer." It¡¯ll be a while.¡±
Li Qinglin is the supreme commander. Although Xiao Liuzi was a little reluctant, Li Qinglin's orders were carried out to the letter.
"Boom!", a mortar shell exploded on the Japanese position.
"Enemy attack!", "Enemy attack!", the Japanese soldiers were in chaos. They fell to the ground one after another to prevent being injured by the shrapnel of the next mortar shell.
But after a while, there was no movement at Niuwangzhai. The Japanese soldiers thought it was okay, so they got up one after another. But at this moment, with a "Bang!" sound, the second cannonball exploded again.
