When it was dark, Captain Lu heard gunshots from a distance and immediately ordered those who could run first to approach the battlefield as soon as possible.
Hurrying slowly, we finally caught up with the breakout 2nd and 9th companies. As soon as they caught up, they were chased by the dark security forces behind the 2nd and 9th companies.
Captain Lu has fought many small battles, but he has not caught up with the big battles once. This time it is a big battle, but in the scene of the security army, except for the soldiers who carry the wounded number, there are no soldiers now, and the soldier who injured the arm has to do it himself He ran and didn't even have time to wrap up his injuries, so he bandaged them randomly.
Forget it.
The team in front carried the wounded soldiers away in a hurry. In addition to being exhausted, they were still tired. The one with the best spirits was Li Xiang's platoon from the Ninth Company. Not to mention sacrifices, there were only a few injured. He was carrying soldiers from the Ninth Company, including a few from the Second Company. Among them was Captain Gao Yidao.
There are only a dozen left in one row of Ma Liang, none standing, half of Luo Fugui's three rows, Tang Dagou, Xu Xiao, one ear, and Li Xiang.
The Second Company had twenty-two wounded soldiers, including Gao Yidao. Commander Lu arrived in time. If he participated in the single-frame lifting competition, he could take first place. Plus the soldiers who followed one after another, more than half of them were carrying the Second Company soldiers.
Li Youde's security forces followed behind with torches, but the muzzles of their guns were raised high. Bullets were flying in the sky. The fighting was very fierce. If it were daytime, they would have to shoot down dozens of birds.
The cunning rabbit dies and the lackeys are cooked. Li Youde knows this very well. If he wants to gain a foothold in Luoye Village, he must keep the remaining eight routes ahead.
Li Youde's words are to encourage the bandits to respect themselves.
A small group of Japanese soldiers followed behind them, panting, their legs were like lead, and they moved their bow-legged legs with difficulty.
A mile apart, both sides held torches and were not afraid of becoming targets.
The security forces have been pursuing, and the soldiers behind them take a look at the stones and small trees on the roadside behind them.
Bang, another bullet came out of the barrel and hit the stone on the roadside of the security guard. The bullet ricocheted and hit a security guard. The security guard screamed in pain, but was not injured.
"Damn it, you're serious!" He immediately raised his gun and aimed at the eight people running away in front of him.
Bang, the bullet flew out.
Missed.
It's easy to hit the sky, but it's not easy to aim and hit, and you still miss.
Human physical strength is not unlimited, and the Eighth Route Army and the security forces complained endlessly about the rapid march day and night, and the tossing back and forth.
Only the Jiulian Company was still alive and well, and without him, they stayed in the village for a day and didn't sleep much.
From the beginning of the pursuit, I don't know when, the two sides maintained a tacit understanding. When the Japanese team stepped forward, both sides fired accurately, each suffering casualties. Once the bullets flew into the sky, the bullets behind the eight-way break also flew to one side.
They had been chasing for twenty miles, and the two sides were just walking. The Japanese relied on their unwillingness to force the security forces to bite the Eighth Route Army who was still carrying the wounded in front.
There are also gun towers to the west. At the current speed, it is possible to reach the vicinity of the gun towers at dawn. Going a little further south, you can also pass by the bunker next to the stone bridge. However, the bunker has long been fortified, making it even more difficult for the Eighth Route Army to get past. .
The last time they wiped out the rout brigade, the Eighth Route Army fled into the mountains through the stone bridge, so the pursuing Japanese didn't really have much confidence.
There were serious wounded in the Eighth Route Army in front, and none of them were worth losing. The Japanese thought this was the last chance to catch up with the Eighth Route Army, so they followed behind them holding their breath. They originally thought that the Eighth Route Army would be easy to fight, so they exchanged positions with the security troops and came forward to fight. Both times, apart from losing soldiers and generals, the fart effect was ineffective. The Japanese were also discouraged and followed the security forces. Although the distance was farther away, they still had the tail of the Eighth Route Army.
The Japanese squad leader was very dissatisfied. He ran on this road three times since he came out of Meixian County. However, the pursuit mission was not given to the Japanese soldiers brought by Captain Maeda. On the contrary, they were extremely tired and were still moving their legs unluckily.
In the Eighth Route Army being pursued, more than a hundred people carried thirty or forty wounded people, and they had to take turns carrying them. No one had the physical strength to carry a wounded man weighing 100 kilograms for twenty miles, not to mention running for a day and night.
Those who carry people are trying to escape, and if they carry a heavy load, they will naturally be able to withstand greater fatigue.
In his current state, he could no longer pursue, let alone fight. He didn't even consider turning around and going back to the city. He just camped temporarily near the stone bridge, ate and slept, otherwise he wouldn't have the energy to go back to the city.
Exhausted while walking on the road, Captain Lu felt as if all the bones in his body were falling apart. His whole body felt heavy, and his back pain was not appropriate and tortured his tight meridians.
He kept insisting, telling himself that this was the last section of the road. If he persisted for a while, female soldiers would come with their own reinforcements.
It had only been a day and a half since I sent my correspondent to move the reinforcements, and it was impossible for the reinforcements to arrive so quickly.
It’s just self-deception.
The ghosts behind were still lingering, and they kept following behind. The distance between the two sides was only about three hundred meters, and the security forces were too tired to move any further.
"I can't walk on the eighth road ahead. Grandma, can you take a break before running again?"
"If you don't chase me like crazy, I'll run away. Are you a pig? If you catch me, you'll be shot, so you can't stop?"
"Then, if you don't run away, we won't chase you."
"If you don't chase us, we won't run away."
An agreement was reached quickly.
Both sides sat down on the side of the road and could no longer stand up. The Japs behind them were farther away and slowly moved towards them. They couldn't run anymore. They followed the security forces and found a place to sit down. The Japs Second Lieutenant said: "Eighth Road, If you can’t run away, take a rest and then chase again.”
The soldiers of the Ninth Company were not so pretentious. They carried the wounded number and ran westward.
...
Boom - da da da da da...
Sounds coming from the northwest could be faintly distinguished, including explosions and the faint sound of Jedak machine guns.
Hu Yi felt relieved. Ma Liang and the second company soldiers who were responding were attacking the Japanese headquarters.
As the gunfire goes westward, getting farther and farther, the sound becomes smaller and smaller, and it should be prominent.
Xiao Hongying's body kept twitching. She saw Wu Shitou being pressed under the earth wall with her own eyes. She hated that wall so much that she screamed and was held tightly by Luo Fugui. She wanted to Climbing out was unsuccessful.
Hu Yi grabbed the entrance of the hole with his hand and kept shaking it. He whined and his voice gradually became smaller. Hu Yi whispered: "Let her go."
Xiao Hongying sobbed and retracted her hand. She felt her hand was a little wet. She put it in her mouth and licked it. It tasted salty: "Fox, are you injured?"
Wu Shitou, who had temporarily forgotten the sacrifice, pulled out the flashlight from his bag for a long time.
A streak of earthworm-like red on Hu Yi's right cheek stretched all the way to his hair and got into the curved-brimmed military cap.
Footsteps were heard in the village. The security forces entered the village again and began to collect weapons and corpses, carrying them all to the north of the village.
In the collapsed house, the security troops with torches looked back and forth several times. A security soldier lay on the ground and looked carefully with the help of a torch. He found a corpse under the collapsed wall and paid no attention to it.
It will take some effort to take out this corpse, but forget it. If I report it, I might be doing the hard work again.
The Japanese took away everything related to the cavalry squadron.
In the middle of the night, the security forces thoroughly cleaned the interior and found no Eighth Route Army.
It seemed that all the eight people who had sneaked in broke out from the north and ran away. There were more than thirty people in total. Li Youde's security forces and a small group of Japanese soldiers were already chasing them.
A lot of the Eighth Route Army has been annihilated. There are still gun towers and bunkers to the west. It doesn't matter whether they can all be annihilated.
The Japs began to gather, preparing to return eastward to the county town overnight. There were Japs cars parked there, and you could get on the cars after passing through the road cut off by Eighth Road.
Maeda didn't have the energy to clear out the dozens of Tuba Road, and had already ordered to return to the city.
When Captain Lu arrived, there were only soldiers from one platoon running in front. They arranged for the second and ninth companies to support the platoon's strength. The remaining people were still on the way and came over one after another.
Therefore, Maeda considered it a small force and ordered a small group of Japanese soldiers to lead Li Youde to clear out the enemy.
The Japanese mobilized the remaining security forces to serve as coolies and pushed the cannon back to the car. The 92nd Infantry Cannon struggled for two days, but no shot was fired.
