Under the leadership of Ma Wanzhong, the soldiers quickly regained the advantage they had just lost, after all, the number of little devils is not much, and it is a tired division, fighting such a force, if a regiment is not sure, it will not be able to resist the county seat for so long.

The little devil who had just rushed up was pressed down in a few minutes.

"Second battalion commander, drag him over for me, I want to see what tricks the little devil does!" The battle was over, and the troops pursued by the little devils retreated, but Hu Guoshan did not let the troops pursue, because their main task at present was to retreat, and according to Ma Wanzhong's preliminary judgment, the big army of the little devils must be following behind them.

The two warriors carried a corpse to Ma Wanzhong, and Ma Wanzhong finally saw the true appearance of the monster, it turned out that the little devils were covered in mud all over their bodies, and they suddenly appeared in the dark night, and the soldiers would treat them as monsters.

"Look, the monster you see is the little devil, which means that the big army of the little devil is not far from us, and we must retreat immediately!"

Ma Wanzhong must dispel the doubts in the hearts of the soldiers, otherwise in the future, when encountering special circumstances, they will definitely be like today, and the soldiers will flee without a fight. However, the appearance of these little devils proves that the large Japanese army is very close to them, and they must go to the stone gate as soon as possible to meet the guarding troops.

Just now, a squadron of the little devils did not inflict many casualties on the second regiment, but it successfully delayed the march of the first regiment.

"Captain, we have a brother of ours over there!"

Just as Ma Wanzhong turned around and walked back, a soldier ran over to report to him, followed by two soldiers carrying a soldier covered in mud and water, and walked towards Ma Wanzhong.

Ma Wanzhong frowned, because the person who was being held by the soldiers was the same as the corpse of the little devil lying on the ground in front of him: "Whose soldier are you?" ”

The communication soldier of the third regiment supported his tired body and saluted Ma Wanzhong, and his voice was very weak: "Report to Commander Ma, I am the communication soldier of Commander Hu of the Third Regiment, and our regiment commander asked me to tell you that the little devil may already know that our troops are retreating, and we must be careful on the road." ”

The sudden appearance of the little devil just now has proved what the communication soldier said, and the little devil knows that they are retreating, and there is nothing to question about the fact that they are retreating.

"Find a stretcher to carry him away!" Ma Wanzhong saw that the communication soldiers were already exhausted and collapsed, and he must have rushed here as fast as possible along the way, in such complex road conditions, a person's physical strength was easily exhausted.

"Bang"

As soon as Ma Wanzhong's words fell, the sound of gunfire broke the silent night sky again, this time it was not the troops behind the palace who were attacked, the gunshots came from the front of the troops. Hearing the dense gunshots in front of him, Ma Wanzhong's face became solemn, and the little devil had already caught up.

"Second battalion commander, now your battalion will stay behind the palace, and the rest will come with me!" Ma Wanzhong hurriedly gave the battle order, and the rest of the soldiers quickly followed Ma Wanzhong to move.

Judging from the sound of gunshots, the number of little devils is not large, but the sudden appearance of the little devils must have caught the troops off guard. It was the battalion of the regiment that was attacked by the little devils, and the battalion was the vanguard of the regiment.

It turned out that a squadron of little devils suddenly appeared in the rear of the first regiment in order to attract the attention of the entire regiment, and then let the rest of the Japanese troops detour back to the front of the retreat of the first regiment, trying to block the retreat route of the first regiment. However, the little devils of a squadron that had just launched the attack did not expect that they would fight such a big devil that they would instantly defeat the two battalions behind the first regiment.

But just now, the little devil had already detoured back to the front of a retreat and attacked.

The first battalion was suddenly attacked by the little devils, and at first fell into chaos, but under the organization of the first battalion commander, they were able to stabilize the situation, and when the first battalion commander judged that the number of little devils in front of them was not many through the sound of gunfire, he decisively attacked the little devils.

When Ma Wanzhong came with troops to support the first battalion, the first battalion had already suppressed the little devils. However, there are more and more little devils supporting troops, and the situation that the first battalion has just stabilized is gradually pulled back by the little devils.

"Commander, why did so many little devils suddenly pop up?" After the first battalion commander saw Ma Wanzhong, he shouted loudly.

Ma Wanzhong did not answer the question of the first battalion commander: "Your third and fourth battalions support your first battalion, you must hold this place for me, we must withdraw the troops first!" ”

"Don't worry, head of the group, there is no way for us to block our retreat door if the little devils want to block us!" The commander of the first battalion was full of confidence, and if the strength of the three battalions could not stop the little devils, they would not have to fight.

Ma Wanzhong didn't dare to be careless, since the little devil had already detoured back to their front, the large army must be very close to them, so he had to retreat the troops as quickly as possible.

Under the order of Ma Wanzhong, officers at all levels began to speed up their retreat in the direction of Shimen, and at this time, gunshots were also heard from the rear, and the second battalion behind the palace also exchanged fire with the little devils, and the situation began to get worse.

"Second Battalion Commander, how's the situation?" Ma Wanzhong began to take a few soldiers to meet with the second battalion commander, he has already arranged the action plan of the troops, now as long as the first battalion commander and they hold the retreat route, they will definitely not be surrounded, but once the second battalion is entangled, it will definitely be surrounded by little devils.

The second battalion commander looked up at Ma Wanzhong and said: "Regiment commander, I just arranged for two soldiers to reconnoitre, there are a lot of little devils, there are nearly 2,000 troops on our sides and in the rear, and it is estimated that there are still a large number of troops in the rear. ”

The gunfire on the battlefield became more and more intense, and the battle became more and more intense, and some soldiers around Ma Wanzhong began to fall and could no longer get up.

"Fight and retreat, and join the first battalion first!"

The second battalion is in the most dangerous situation now, they only have one battalion of troops, the follow-up troops of the little devils continue to arrive, and the number is increasing, the second battalion does not have any advantage, as long as it follows the large army as soon as possible and retreats.

"Boom Boom"

On the orders of the commander of the second battalion, the fighters threw grenades, delaying the attack of the little devils, and then the fighters began to alternate cover, retreating. There were no troops to provide fire cover for the second battalion, so in the process of retreating, the second battalion could only leave the corpses of the fighters, and the most important thing now was to let the living people out as soon as possible.

However, the retreat of the second battalion was still a step slower, and a squadron of the little devils accidentally hit and interspersed into the gap between the second battalion and the large army, successfully blocking the retreat route of the second battalion.

When several battalion commanders of the first regiment reacted, the little devils also reacted and began to desperately surround the second battalion. Several battalion commanders of the regiment led their troops to charge the little devil, but the little devil did not let go of his mouth and desperately reinforced, and the battle between the two sides entered a white-hot state.

"Boom Boom"

In order to rescue the second battalion and Ma Wanzhong, several battalion commanders continued to bombard the little devil with artillery fire, but the reinforcements of the little devil were like dying, and constantly ordered the Japanese army to advance towards the artillery fire, and the battlefield was full of the remains of the little devil, and the scene was miserable.

However, in order to rescue the second battalion and Ma Wanzhong, the soldiers of the first regiment also worked hard, and several battalion commanders attacked the little devils like a tide, and the encirclement of the little devils was torn open, but the little devils without heavy weapons also blocked the gap again like crazy, and Ma Wanzhong had no way to withdraw with the second battalion.

The violent explosion sounded a long distance in the dark night, and Liao Jundong, who was in charge of the defense of the stone gate, felt uneasy when he heard the explosion, and immediately sent soldiers to reconnoiter what the situation was.

Hu Guoshan was on the way to arrive with his troops, and he also heard a fierce exchange of fire, and guessed in his heart that Ma Wanzhong and they were in trouble.

"Order the troops to speed up the march and support a regiment quickly!" Hu Guoshan, who heard the explosion, ordered the troops to move closer to a regiment.

At this time, the wounded and sick of the first regiment had just disengaged from the little devils with the cooperation of the large army, and had not yet reached a safe place, and the first battalion commander was also in the direction of retreat, blocking the attack of the little devils to ensure the safety of their retreat route.

There were only two battalions and an artillery company in charge of the rescue of the second battalion, and the fierce artillery fire caused huge casualties to the little devil who did not have heavy weapons, but the little devil did not have the slightest intention of retreating, and still surrounded the second battalion. Now the Japanese army surrounding the second battalion has reached nearly two thousand people.

If the two battalions responsible for the rescue of the second battalion did not open a gap and then retreated, the two battalions were also in danger of being surrounded by the troops caught up by the Japanese. Moreover, the area where the 2nd Battalion and Ma Wanzhong were compressed became smaller and smaller, and the artillery support gradually lost its effect.

The battle became more and more fierce, and the little devil resisted all the heavy weapons of the first regiment with his individual equipment alone, and suffered heavy casualties, and the commander of the little devil still sent troops from a distance as if he did not see his soldiers fall, and surrounded the second battalion tightly in the middle.

Ma Wanzhong has ordered to stop the troops from breaking through, because the number of little devils is increasing, and their hope of breaking through is getting slimmer and slimmer.

And the most important thing is that the troops are very close to the stone gate at this time, and he believes that as long as they can hold out until the reinforcements from his stone gate arrive, they will definitely be able to break through.

After hearing the sound of explosions coming from the west, Liao Jundong immediately gathered the troops stationed at Shimen, in addition to arranging for scouts to reconnoiter the situation. Liao Jundong knew that the only troops fighting in this area were the troops of the 33rd Independent Division, so he had to rush to the scene as quickly as possible.

However, it was not Liao Jundong's troops who arrived first, but the three battalions led by Hu Guoshan, and after two deserters appeared in the third regiment, Hu Guoshan decided to take the troops to support immediately, so they arrived first.
