The sun rises again.
Huangweishan Field Hospital.
Surrounded by mountains.
It's like a paradise.
Sporadic gunshots rang out all around, breaking the tranquility.
There are too many wounded people in the field hospital and they cannot be transferred at all.
Perimeter west.
On the mountain ridge.
A dirty figure hurriedly ran into the camouflaged temporary headquarters and saluted the soldiers lying behind the fortifications: "Report to the battalion commander that the defense line is shrinking. The leading puppet troops coming from the north have reached the first line of defense. The brothers in charge of the northern perimeter defense line have already taken up the fire."
The dark-faced battalion commander looked at the map in front of him, and his expression became more and more gloomy: "The Japanese and puppet troops went straight to our hospital. It seems that this place has been exposed a long time ago."
The horse-faced officer next to him turned pale: "All the ministries are sending people to us, and we can't hide it from the little devil!"
The battalion commander turned around and said, "Continue reconnaissance."
The horse-faced company commander whispered: "Hey, how about we."
The battalion commander's face became more gloomy and he stared at the horse's face: "Qin Laoer, do you want to surrender to the enemy before the battle?"
The horse-faced company commander was startled: "How is that possible! What I mean is that before the Japanese encircle us, we still have time to run westward."
The battalion commander's tone was cold: "Behind us, there are so many brothers lying in the cave. Now we leave them and run away? Are you still a human being?"
"We have a division of more than 6,000 people, but only a few hundred soldiers are left to move. We have to leave some seeds."
"Stop talking, as long as we can hold this ridge, the little devils can't surround the hospital."
"The battalion commander and the three battalion commanders all ran away." The company commander was a little unwilling.
The battalion commander said in a serious tone: "Whoever talks about escaping again will be punished on the spot!"
The observer nearby held up a telescope and looked at the mountain ridge to the west separated by a valley. He shouted: "Report, a group of guerrillas and the Eighth Route Guerrilla were found in the northwest!"
The battalion commander grabbed the binoculars again and looked at his men waving signal flags in Shanliang Mountain to the west: "Eighth Route guerrillas? How can there be an Eighth Route guerrilla in our defense area? Ask them. How many people are there?"
"Less than a hundred."
"It's strange. Don't they know that a large number of Japanese and puppet troops are raiding the mountains and trying to get together to die?"
The messenger and the scouts ran up the mountain ridge one after another. The scout was the first to speak: "Report to the battalion commander, something bad is going on. A large number of Japanese soldiers have come from the south and are cutting off the communication line to the west."
The ordering soldier gasped: "Report...an urgent order from the security battalion, abandon the second line of defense, shrink the entire team, and protect the hospital."
The battalion commander's heart sank. He actually only had more than a hundred men under his command, and it was impossible to defend the entire Western Front.
The organization has been in chaos for a long time, and he, the battalion commander, is serving as the company commander!
The Japs are coming. If you give up your formation and retreat, the western defense line will immediately collapse and the situation will become even more serious. Moreover, there are too many people at the division hospital and there will be no room to maneuver if the Japs planes bomb.
In a deserted valley.
The mountain people are busy.
After the pit was dug, bags of grain were thrown into the pit with a tent at the bottom, and then covered with tarpaulin and covered with soil.
Then cover the mossy side of the stone upward.
Other people were cutting bush branches and braiding hair rings to disguise themselves.
On the ridge next to it.
Hu Yi put down the telescope.
There are so many mountains and mountains that the telescope cannot see far.
An hour ago, gunfire suddenly rang out in the Huangwei Mountain area in the southeast.
Then, the buzzing Japanese plane appeared in the distance.
The soldiers who dispersed for reconnaissance did not return.
Old Bandit Qi was a little confused: "Could it be that those guys from the Second Battalion also took a fancy to Huangwei Mountain and started fighting with the defeated soldiers in the mountain?"
Xiao Hongying put down the telescope that was used to watch the aircraft circling in the distance: "It doesn't look like it. The gunshots are spread too wide. There are only 100 people in the second battalion. He is not that capable at all."
Luo Fugui suddenly said: "Boss Hu, why don't we all go back? There are broken soldiers everywhere in and outside the mountains. If it was so easy to open a mountain and establish a stronghold in Huangwei Mountain, those broken soldiers must have taken over first."
The faint sound of gunfire in the distance suddenly became denser, followed by the sound of violent explosions of handgun bombs.
The old bandit Qi suddenly said: "No, there are also mortars. The distance is not more than ten miles!"
Hu Yi slid his finger back and forth on the map.
After a while, scouts from all directions returned to the mountain ridge, pointing at the map and explaining what they had discovered.
Hu Yi quickly marked on the map, then suddenly collected the map and stood up, giving the order: "Everyone gather, disguise, go east, get out!"
Huangwei Mountain has been surrounded.
The guns and cannons fired in unison, and the sound was deafening.
Clouds of gunpowder smoke billowed on the hillside and filled the air.
More than a hundred puppet troops stood on the gentle hillside.
Guard the baggage supplies.
Everyone, including the civilian husband, looked up in fear and looked at the battlefield not far away.
My eyes followed the planes in the sky. The plastered planes were like eagles catching chickens in the sky, swooping back and forth to drop bombs and strafing.
The pseudo-company commander had mixed feelings in his heart.
For the first time, the Imperial Army did not let the Imperial Alliance Army take the lead. This seemed to be something to be happy about.
It is not shameful for the imperial army to doubt one's combat ability.
Besides, fighting such a tough battle is simply something that the Imperial Alliance Army can do.
In the distance, the body of another national soldier was thrown high into the air after being knocked out of his hiding place by a bomb dropped by an airplane.
The puppet soldiers with numb scalps were talking and muttering.
Surprise: "This one must fly higher than the guy who just blew up"
Sighing: "These people are really brave. They will not surrender even if they fight to the death."
He came up with an idea: "You can save your life by surrendering to the Japanese. The worst that can happen is that you will be scolded a few times, and your body will be completely shattered by the bombing of the imperial army. I will probably have to use a cane to walk through hell in the future."
Contempt: "These idiots are really stupid."
It's a pity: "Even if you don't want to sincerely surrender to the Japanese, why don't you just find an opportunity to run away later?"
Ridiculing: "Why don't those elm-headed people understand?"
Reasoning: "There is a dilemma between loyalty and filial piety. I have not suffered any harm from my parents. Isn't it beautiful to put down the gun and raise a hand to escape this disaster first?"
Doubtful: "Hey, why didn't the imperial army let us capture prisoners this time?"
Darkness: "Hey, wouldn't it be more beautiful to collect the corpse later?"
Expectation: "Hahaha"
The two brigades and nearly two thousand Japanese soldiers were divided into multiple routes. There were Japanese messengers waving signal flags everywhere on the mountain ridge.
Every valley is filled with yellow figures.
Planes dived to drop bombs and strafed the defenders' clustered firepower, mortars cleared heavy firepower points, and grenades struck cover positions.
Light and heavy machine guns suppressed, the infantry fired accurately, and then maintained the rhythm and advanced step by step.
The bayonets stabbed the corpses on the ground one by one.
Don't rush in, don't intersperse.
The soldiers who resisted tenaciously fought back quietly.
Panicked roars and screams filled the air.
Another mortar shell was loaded into the barrel, and then the turret came out and smashed into the smoke that had not cleared in the distance.
Boom boom boom.
Three shells landed around the mortar, and the impact point was no more than ten meters from the mortar seat.
The mortar that fell to the ground was covered in blood and muscle tissue.
The machine gunner suddenly lay down behind the Maxim heavy machine gun. The soldiers in the smoke next to him immediately stepped forward and pulled the machine gunner away. Another one came up and began to organize the canvas ammunition belt.
The machine gun's bell flashed again, and the bullet chain was stretched over half a meter.
Boom boom boom. Four or five grenades hit hard next to the heavy machine gun, and the machine gun crew misfired again.
Then someone came on top again
The moaning light machine gunners were moved away, and women in white nurse uniforms moved the wounded onto stretchers and carried them away.
The light machine gun shook twice, then fired again.
After more than ten moves, bullets roared towards me again.
The soldier hiding behind the stone raised his rifle to aim and shoot.
Then he pulled the bolt and fired another bullet. With a whoosh, a bullet would penetrate into the soldier's head.
There is no time to think about the issue of death or immortality, only the difference between early death and late death.
There was no way to retreat. As long as they took one more step, the Japs would directly face the wounded defense line in Lingqiu Cave.
