When Ma Wanzhong saw the actions of the little devil captain, he understood that the little devil didn't understand him at all, but he understood the meaning of the little devil captain, glanced at the company commander behind him, and then glanced at the company commander.

The company commander immediately understood what Ma Wanzhong meant, and just waved his hand.

"Da Da Da" "Bang Bang Bang"

The sound of gunfire and gunpowder filled the courtyard, the corpses of the little devils lay on the ground, and the muzzles of the soldiers kept emitting green smoke.

The Japanese captain watched all this in disbelief, why did he ask for a duel with the commander of the Chinese army, and the result would be that his own soldiers were shot. The Japanese captain was stunned, and rushed towards Ma Wanzhong with his command knife in his hand, wanting to fight with Ma Wanzhong.

Several soldiers standing behind the Japanese captain were already ready to face this situation, and directly smashed the back of the Japanese captain with the butt of their guns, and the Japanese captain was smashed to the ground on the spot and could not get up.

Ma Wanzhong looked at the Japanese captain who was pressed to the ground like arhats by the soldiers: "Little devil, you can't die today if you meet me, tie him up on a stretcher and carry him back, this little devil will definitely know no less." ”

This is the first time that the 33rd Independent Division has captured a little devil alive since its establishment, and it is a captain of the little devil, Ma Wanzhong is very excited, but the next news makes him immediately worried.

"Commander, the little devil is less than five miles away from us!" A soldier approached Ma Wanzhong and reported on the march of the Japanese army.

"Where is the third head now?" Ma Wanzhong frowned and wanted to find Hu Guoshan, and now they had to discuss their next plans with Hu Guoshan.

As soon as Ma Wanzhong's words fell, Hu Guoshan took a few soldiers into the courtyard: "Old Ma, the situation is critical, the little devils are getting more and more away from us, we are carrying the wounded and prisoners, and we can't go fast at all!" ”

"There are still a few Japanese troops in the courtyard in the village that have not been cleared!" Ma Wanzhong was also very worried in his heart, according to this distance, the little devil would soon be able to catch up with them.

"In this way, I will take the troops behind the palace, according to the terrain in the village, there is no problem in holding on for an hour, and you will retreat first with the captured wounded!" Hu Guoshan said to Ma Wanzhong.

"No, it's too dangerous for you to stay, I'm the commander-in-chief, if you want to stay, I should stay, you retreat with the wounded!" Ma Wanzhong immediately objected.

"I said Lao Ma, your commander-in-chief is temporary, don't use chicken feathers as arrows, you see that there is a person in the third regiment of Lao Tzu who listens to your orders." Hu Guoshan glared at Ma Wanzhong.

"Lao Hu, now is not the time to quarrel, the situation is critical, we must block the little devil, if we wait, the little devil will arrive at the entrance of the village, you must evacuate with the wounded!" Ma Wanzhong was also impatient in his heart, the little devil on Wuli Road arrived in ten minutes, and as the commander-in-chief, he had to take care of the overall situation.

"I'll stay with three regiments, that's it, you let the soldiers of the first regiment leave more grenades for us!" After Hu Guoshan finished speaking, he ignored Ma Wanzhong's answer, and left the courtyard directly with a few soldiers.

Ma Wanzhong also knew Hu Guoshan's temper, but for the sake of the overall situation, he could only do this: "Notify everyone in the first group, take the rescued prisoners of war and prisoners, immediately gather and evacuate in the east of the village, and hand over the unfinished little devils in the village to the third regiment!" ”

There were still sporadic gunshots in several courtyards of the village, but when they saw the Chinese troops withdrawing, they muttered in their hearts what had happened. A little devil couldn't help the curiosity in his heart, and raised his head and showed his cover, wanting to see what was going on outside.

"Bang"

A gunshot rang out, the little devil who looked up was killed, and the soldiers of the three regiments took over the siege of the courtyard, and instantly surrounded the courtyard again, but the battle became more violent, grenades were constantly thrown into the courtyard, and the shock wave of the explosion blew up the courtyard wall, and the soldiers of the three regiments began to move forward.

"Give up the outlying positions of the village, put the little devils in the village, and we will fight again!" Hu Guoshan instructed the company commander under his hand, "Collect the ammunition on the little devil's body, and throw the corpse of the little devil at the entrance of the village." ”

The soldiers began to nervously arrange the defense, reinforcing the courtyard wall, reinforcing the courtyard wall, and the resistance that needed to be opened was all opened, after a battle, most of the courtyard had been destroyed in the war, but the three regiments still had so many soldiers that it was easy to arrange several more fortifications.

The little devil is getting closer and closer, and the battle-hardened veterans are not the slightest nervous, but have some expectations. However, Hu Guoshan couldn't have imagined that they would never be able to wait for the little devil any longer.

"Regiment commander, this is a soldier of the artillery battalion!" A fighter came to the command with a fighter who was physically stronger than him.

"Artillery battalion? How did the fighters of the artillery battalion come here, aren't you guys stationed? Hu Guoshan's head was full of questions.

The soldiers of the artillery battalion saluted Hu Guoshan: "Report to Regiment Commander Hu, our battalion commander Liao asked me to inform you to evacuate quickly, as for the first regiment, we have arranged for the soldiers to notify, and our artillery battalion is responsible for covering your retreat!" ”

"Brother Liao is here?" Hu Guoshan still didn't understand why the artillery battalion suddenly appeared here.

It turned out that when Liao Fan agreed with them to attack Pingsong to rescue the prisoners of war, Liao Fan was not very sure, and Liao Fan expected that no matter whether the battle of Pingsong was won or lost, the first and third regiments would inevitably evacuate from the area of Yaorengou, so Liao Fan arranged for Liao Jundong to come with an artillery battalion to respond.

Due to the heavy weight of the artillery, the marching speed was of course very slow, and the artillery battalion that came over the mountains and mountains finally felt the burning ditch at the end of the battle or just about to start the battle, and arranged the artillery position, and Liao Jundong arranged the soldiers to tell the two regiment commanders.

"Withdraw! Tell the troops not to make any movement during the retreat! Hu Guoshan ordered the troops to retreat immediately.

At this time, the little devil's troops had already arrived at the burning ditch, and the soldiers had already seen the bright bayonets of the little devil not far away, but the soldiers had to carry out the order of the regiment commander and began to quietly push out of the courtyard, and then evacuated to the east of the village.

"Battalion commander, the artillery has been adjusted, and it is ready to fire at any time!" A company commander reported to Liao Jundong on the top of the mountain.

As soon as the company commander finished reporting, news came from the artillery observation post that the Japanese army was already advancing towards the Burning Ditch attack.

"No cannon four shells in a salvo!" Liao Jundong ordered.

"Boom boom" bombs kept falling on the road into the village, and the little devil was hit directly by the oncoming bombs, but the casualties were not so big, after all, the Japanese army was in an offensive formation and was relatively sparse on the battlefield.

Blocked by the incoming shells, the Japanese began to retreat, leaving more than a dozen Japanese corpses on the battlefield. At this time, the retreating soldiers in the village were happy when they heard the sound of artillery, and they knew that reinforcements had arrived and they would survive tonight.

"A hundred meters forward of artillery fire, or four shells!" Liao Jundong kept giving one order after another.

There was only the sound of artillery on the battlefield, there was no gunfire, and the little devil was suppressed by an artillery battalion and kept retreating until he retreated to a safe place, at which time the artillery battalion had finished four rounds of shells.

"Pack up the equipment, let's transfer, if the little devil finds out our location, it will be a big trouble!"

At this time, the soldiers of the third regiment have withdrawn to the east of the village, and the little devils have also been suppressed by the artillery battalion, and the soldiers of the third regiment have been safe, so there is no need for Liao Jundong to continue to suppress the Japanese army, and it is imperative that they evacuate.

"Brother Liao, why are you here?" Hu Guoshan's first sentence after seeing Liao Jundong was the same as what Ma Wanzhong asked.

"This is not the place to talk, let's quickly withdraw to the station, Fanzi is still waiting for you at home." Liao Jundong said to Hu Guoshan.

Hu Guoshan just smiled happily, and then urged the troops to evacuate quickly. The retreating little devil did not retreat because of the suppression of artillery, but the commander of the little devil began to arrange for the troops to surround the entire burning ditch first, and then try to attack.

In the night, the little devil gradually approached the village, and they were cautious, because the enemy had not fired a single shot so far, and the little devil could only be careful and careful, for fear that there would be an ambush in the village.

Half an hour later, the Japanese army finally searched the entire burning ditch, but found nothing but the remaining ruins.

The commander of the little devil knew that the Chinese army had fled, and he not only continued to chase after him, because further east was the reckless mountain, not to mention thousands of people, even tens of thousands of people hid in it, and he could not find it.

But the little devil did not withdraw, because the Japanese captain who insisted on burning the ditch did not see anyone alive or dead.

On the way to retreat, the soldiers were very relaxed, and began to talk and laugh, whether it was the prisoners of war rescued by the 33rd Independent Division or the puppet soldiers who had just been captured, there seemed to be no worried expression on their faces, and only the Japanese captain who was tied to a stretcher in the whole team looked like ashes.

In the headquarters of the 33rd Independent Division of Taihang Mountain, Liao Fan has not slept, now the time is already early in the morning, the troops have not heard from the army so far, the night after the rain is cold, and the first flight in the command is on duty in the headquarters.

And Liao Fan was already lying on the bed tossing and turning.

"Staff Officer Li, what do you think about the next battle?" Liao Fan still had his eyes closed, judging from his voice, he was tired.

**Fei Zheng was bored flipping through the documents on the table, this is Liao Fan's task to familiarize himself with the 33rd Independent Division as soon as possible, and then start the next work.

"Brother Fan, which battle are you talking about?" Fei asked in a low voice, this was the first time he had discussed the operation of the 33rd Independent Division with Liao Fan.

"Don't pretend to be confused, Gangcun Ningci's 30,000 troops have entered Shanxi, and the 70,000 troops have also been assembled, and they can enter Shanxi at any time, and we will face at least 100,000 Japanese troops at that time, and with the addition of the Japanese troops stationed in Shanxi, we will not have a good time in the future." Liao Fan opened his eyes, then turned sideways, looked at the ** Fei under the light and said.
