The friendly troops at the forefront have already climbed the mountain ridge.
The two parties were not familiar with each other, and there was no farewell or communication.
The friendly troops who climbed the ridge went directly south.
Three submachine guns remain.
German system!
Original goods!
The long magazine is inserted from the left side.
The caliber is the same as 7.63 times 25 for a small shell gun, and the bullets are directly given to 500 rounds...
Xiao Hongying was so happy that she couldn't help but smile.
Together with the Jin-made submachine gun Wang Xiaosan has been carrying on his back, the Ninth Battalion reconnaissance platoon immediately has three submachine guns.
The sound of gunfire gradually became sparse on the hillside, and Xiao Hongying fired three hundred rounds of shells...
In the continuous fighting, most of the shell guns in the hands of the soldiers were empty of bullets.
Hu Yi, who was lying behind a stone on the mountain ridge, was holding a telescope to observe the moonlit hillside.
He could clearly see that the Qi Lao bandits to the south had repelled the Japanese who were pursuing them in a roundabout way and were retreating up the mountain ridge.
Li Xiang, who was standing behind, was bitten by an enemy.
However, the problem was not a big one. Most of the Japs did not follow him. As long as Li Xiang retreated to the top of the mountain, not a single one of the small group of Japs who were pursuing him could escape.
The current situation is not optimistic. The ninth battalion was used as bait by the Japanese a day ago, and now it has only temporarily escaped from the Japanese encirclement.
The number of wounded in the Ninth Battalion has exceeded that of combat personnel.
If we want to lift out the injured who cannot move, there are almost no combatants left.
Many of the slightly injured people who went up the mountain gritted their teeth and persisted.
After reaching the mountain ridge, the entire team almost lost their mobility.
The enemy may catch up at any time. For the Ninth Battalion, which is good at fighting guerrillas, the current situation is very fatal.
If he had been fighting against the enemy, Hu Yi might have simply left the wounded alone. Now, he seems to have begun to pay attention to every soldier under his command.
Seeing that Xiao Hongying was in a good mood, the seriously injured soldiers next to her were also happy for her from the bottom of their hearts and secretly determined not to cause any trouble to the battalion commander!
The order to continue down the mountain ridge to the west has been issued. However, there was no movement for a long time.
The wounded were not stupid, and many of the seriously wounded began to refuse to carry the stretchers to the lightly wounded who carried them up the mountain ridge.
The soldier who was slightly injured scolded his mother anxiously: "Damn it, the Japs haven't come now, we have to leave quickly..."
"You can't even walk on your own. You're carrying me down the mountain in the dark. Do you want to throw me off the cliff and throw me to death?"
"You despicable villain, do you believe I left you alone?"
"I want you to take care of me? Get out of here..."
"Stop dreaming. Even if you stay, the little devils won't give you a chance to die with them!"
"Stop being so nagging, give me two grenades quickly..."
"You want grenades? You must be dreaming. Mr. Qi took all the grenades away, but I didn't..."
"Then...give me the grenade you hid under the quilt..."
"Tch, I kept the money I used in exchange for my life with the Japanese. Do you want my life?" The lightly wounded man prepared to forcefully carry the stretcher.
"Oh... is your mother a dog? Do you dare to bite me?"
The man on the stretcher relaxed: "I told you to get out of here. Are you deaf?"
The lightly wounded soldier rubbed his buttocks: "I haven't washed this place for more than ten days, how can you say this?"
The seriously injured were unwilling to leave, and everything seemed to be in chaos.
Boxes of ammunition that were finally obtained from friendly forces also had to be moved, and manpower was already severely lacking.
Hu Yi arranged for a squad to replenish the ammunition for the shell gun to pick up Li Xiang.
He turned around and came to the seriously wounded, and said in a calm voice: "The friendly army said there is a village at the foot of the mountain. Let's go to that village first and hide in the village temporarily. Those who can leave will retreat south together later to lure the enemy away!"
"With so many people taking action, there will definitely be clues left on the ground... but it will be a waste of time." A certain soldier shook his head. No one knew whether hiding in the village could avoid being hunted by the enemy.
Hu Yi's voice sounded flat, but if you listen carefully, it was actually trembling: "Even if you have to fight for the devils, you only have a chance in the village!"
Luo Fugui, a lightly wounded man next to him, advised him: "If you stay on the ridge at this time, without any cover, you will die in vain!"
"Company commander, this is my shell gun. I want to change it for a grenade..." The first seriously wounded soldier reluctantly handed his beloved shell gun and holster to Luo Fugui.
On the holster, there is a straight character plus one horizontal and one vertical...
The team finally started slowly heading down the mountain...
Qi Lao Bandit's Ninth Battalion climbed up the mountain ridge on a path one mile south of the mountain location.
He left a squad to guard the mountain ridge and asked two soldiers to support him and jog to Hu Yi's side.
Although I don't understand guerrilla tactics very well, I have fought with the Japanese for many years, and I know the Japanese tactics and possible attack modes very well.
His judgment of the battlefield situation is extremely accurate, and his ability to avoid reality and make up for the fictitious is superb.
Who can survive a near-death encounter on the battlefield without having some unique skills?
After retreating, the Japs did not launch grenades on the small highland position, and they immediately understood what tricks the Japs might play.
The little devil is worried that the casualties of attacking at night will be too great. After all, in the eyes of the little devil, their lives are much more valuable than those of the Eighth Route Army!
On the other hand, there was no pursuit of the Ninth Battalion, which was full of wounded soldiers and fled up the mountain ridge.
If we had placed spies everywhere in the area a few days ago, the Ninth Battalion would not be able to escape without any wounded soldiers, let alone now!
It is naturally impossible to say that the old bandit is a good person.
Sitting down two or three meters away from Hu Yi: "I said, didn't Ma Liang go to ask for reinforcements? We have been fighting for a whole day, how come we don't even see the shadow of reinforcements?"
"Perhaps, the reinforcements have arrived!" Most of the Japs left and did not directly attack the Japs in the valley. This only shows that the combat effectiveness of the reinforcements was not very good at all.
Others may not know that Hu Yi has a general understanding of the situation in the mountains. All the troops who can really fight have gone to the plains. The troops that remain in the mountains are simply guard troops with little combat effectiveness. Many are even militiamen and guerrillas.
Otherwise, the headquarters would not have been taken over by the little devils.
Old Bandit Qi is a sensible person and immediately understood the meaning of Hu Yi's words. He was still a little confused: "You mean, the large-scale mobilization of Japanese troops in the afternoon is indeed related to reinforcements?"
Hu Yi nodded: "The reinforcements have created an opportunity for us to break out. Now that everyone has broken out, everything depends on ourselves!"
Old Bandit Qi was a little discouraged: "After a series of fierce battles, not many can move now, right?"
Hu Yi sighed: "There are not enough people to carry the wounded..."
Old Bandit Qi looked around: "How about... follow the old rules?"
Hu Yi was stunned for a moment and immediately shook his head.
The old rules mean they are simple.
Regardless of whether it is the National Army or the Eighth Route Army, when the troops are forced into a desperate situation, they will directly abandon the wounded or let the wounded stay to block the attack. In fact, everyone knows that those who stay will hardly survive.
However, almost everyone knows this tradition...
Even many injured people will take the initiative to ask to stay after knowing the situation...
Seeing that Hu Yi was silent, Qi Laoqiu lowered his voice: "If we can lead the pursuers to the road where the friendly forces left, there is a chance that the wounded will escape..."
Hu Yi still didn't speak.
Friendly forces once provided assistance to the Ninth Battalion at the critical moment of its breakout, and gave weapons as gifts when they left...
Although friendly forces had invaded the Eighth Route Army base areas in the past, these things were too far away for Hu Yi...
The point is, the little devil is not stupid...
The old bandit Qi continued to encourage: "You have also seen that the equipment of the friendly forces is not a little bit better than that of the Japanese. The Japanese are following them in the mountains and are no match for them..."
The moonlight shines on the earth.
Although the light was not bright enough, it made both parties unable to hide.
It is more than 200 meters close to the top of the mountain.
Li Xiang led a squad to retreat to the mountain with alternate cover.
Occupying the absolute terrain advantage, casualties still occurred.
The Japanese who were chasing behind also left many corpses behind, and they still followed closely.
Li Xiang's idea is very simple. No matter what the situation, the pursuing Japanese must be suppressed behind.
Fortunately, no more figures were found behind this group of devils.
The battalion commander arranged for him to have a squad of breathing soldiers arrive, and he immediately began to adjust the plan.
Li Xiang is actually an obsessive-compulsive disorder patient who combines Hu Yi's introverted, low-key, calm and insensitive personality.
Therefore, the plan he made was very different from that of ordinary commanders.
Since the little devil is still here, let you finish them all!
He immediately turned around and ordered to the squad leader who had just added: "Grenade, mines, ropes are ready..."
Before he could finish his words, he was suddenly stunned: "Gengegudan? What are you doing here?"
A small figure hiding behind the team poked his head out: "I'm here to deliver the shell gun bullets."
Li Xiang didn't bother anymore and asked the squad leader directly: "Where is the grenade I want?"
"You only need grenades to fight a dozen or so Japs?"
"Don't be wordy. Leave the grenade behind. You can go back and help carry the wounded..."
"There are no grenades, only Japanese grenades, but... there is no propellant..." The squad leader reluctantly took out the grenade.
Li Xiang immediately asked his soldiers to concentrate all the grenades.
Turning around, he found that Geng Goudan hadn't left yet: "What are you doing here? Hurry up and leave..."
"This time, Platoon Commander Hongying agreed to my participation in the battle..."
"If you don't leave...I'll whip you..."
"I asked before I came down, and the platoon leader personally agreed."
"What...did she say?"
"I said to platoon leader Hongying... Platoon commander, I am too small to lift the wounded, how about... assign me a separate task?"
"What did she say?"
"Go wherever it's cool."
"She didn't agree either?"
"I was wondering... isn't it cool here now? So I came..."

More than 1,500 wounded soldiers of the expeditionary force who had been trapped by the British set themselves on fire collectively in Yumo's village before the large forces entered Savage Mountain...
