When night came, Hu Guoshan immediately decided to let the troops break out of the encirclement, they had been delaying here long enough, they had bought enough time for the troops to retreat, and now taking advantage of the arrival of night, the little devil would definitely not launch a rash attack at night with absolute superiority.

It was a sunny evening and I could see the full moon in the sky, illuminating the walls and courtyards of the village, and it was as peaceful as if there was no war here.

"The division commander has already been arranged!"

"What about the wounded?"

"The wounded are in the middle, I am with the brothers of the second battalion, and you are in the first echelon!"

"Understood, tell the soldiers that once they are discovered by the Japanese army, they will immediately open fire and shoot out, without any hesitation, whether we can get out alive or not depends on this time!" Hu Guoshan said.

"Don't worry, Master, I've already told you to go down!"

Although the Japanese army surrounded Hu Guoshan and they surrounded a three-storey outer three-storey, but there were only a few patrols, in such a small village, the Japanese army could not arrange dozens of patrols to patrol around, the little devils chased Hu Guoshan and they ran for most of the day, and fought with them here for most of the day, they were already tired, and the little devils at this time wanted to rest early, and tomorrow would definitely be a bitter battle.

In the bright moonlight, dozens of soldiers hid in the shadows of the wall, and through the bright moonlight, they could see that each of them had a * and a bright bayonet in their hands, and they were now commandos, and these soldiers wanted to fight for their comrades.

However, fortunately, the soldiers did not use their bayonets and guns, although they encountered the Japanese patrol, and because they lurked in the shadows, they managed to avoid the patrol of the little devils, and all the personnel withdrew safely from Lijiazhuang.

"Old eight, arrange for the two soldiers to go back as quickly as possible and tell the deputy division commander that we will go back soon, and you will withdraw with the wounded first, and leave the first battalion to me!"

They can't just leave, if they go like this, where will the little devil go to find them, Hu Guoshan's task is to bring the little devil to the designated location, otherwise everything is empty.

"Division Commander ......"

"Don't be tired of it, let me tell you, the wounded are the most important thing now, if it's too late to send them back, these brothers will be dead!"

The commander of the new 8th Regiment did not speak, got up and saluted Hu Guoshan, and then ordered the soldiers of the 1st Battalion to stay, and gave all the remaining ammunition of the 2nd and 3rd Battalions to the soldiers of the 1st Battalion.

"Brethren, our purpose is to tell the little devils that we are leaving, and that we are not allowed to fight! Run when you're done, but don't run too fast! ”

After the little devil knew that Hu Guoshan had escaped from their encirclement with his troops, he must have been furious.

"Da Da Da"

In the dark* spewed out tongues of fire, and more than 20 people in the little devil patrol were all knocked down by Hu Guoshan and them, and the sleeping little devils were instantly awakened and got up one after another to pick up their guns.

"Throw*!" Hu Guoshan gave an order.

The Japanese troops who had just come to support were blocked by the explosion of *, and Hu Guoshan seized the opportunity to quickly retreat!

After hearing the sound of gunfire and explosions, the lieutenant general of the Japanese Kwantung Army knew that the Chinese troops in their encirclement were breaking through: "Organize a commando team and search the village!" ”

His intuition told him that the Chinese troops in the village had already left the village under the cover of night, and it was not good for them to attack the village at night, so he organized a commando team to search the village.

Ten minutes later, the news from the little devil soldier proved that his instincts were true, and there was not a single Chinese soldier left in the village, and they had all fled.

"Chase! Let the 2nd Brigade be the vanguard, all the troops are assembled, and they can't be let go! ”

The lieutenant general of the Kwantung Army has already gone up, he doesn't care whether the other party has set a trap for him or not, even if there is a trap in front of him, he has to jump down, with their so many years of combat experience, can they be eaten by a small new 33rd Army, the dignity and honor of the soldiers told him that they let go of this Chinese army is the biggest insult to them.

Hu Guoshan got his wish, the little devil chased them non-stop after hearing the gunshots, Hu Guoshan ordered the troops to retreat while letting the troops shoot to show the direction of the little devil.

This time, Hu Guoshan and they are really fleeing for their lives, and they don't need to cover for any troops.

In the vast wilderness, with the guidance of the gunshots, the little devils don't have to worry about getting lost at all, anyway, there are still their large troops in the rear.

So the Kwantung Army of the two divisions of the little devil and the North China Japanese army of the two divisions rushed headlong into the third square line set up by Zhao Caizhu. At first, the vanguard of the little devils thought that the Chinese army they were pursuing had stopped fleeing and made a final fight with them.

The vanguard of the Japanese army reported the situation to the large forces in the rear, and then the large forces began to detour to the flanks, intending to encircle Hu Guoshan and them again. In the dark of night, the Japanese soldiers could not tell how many people were on the opposite side.

So much so that all the forces of the four divisions of the Japanese army were put into it, only to realize that this was not the unit that had fought with them before, and this was another complete line of defense of the Chinese army.

After learning that this was another line of defense of the Chinese army, the lieutenant general of the Kwantung Army was extremely excited, proving that their time had come, and his troops were all thrown into battle without any rest.

"Send a telegram to Brother Fan, we have successfully attracted the little devil to the designated position!" After Hu Guoshan returned, he did not rest for a moment, and immediately devoted himself to commanding the operation.

"Lao Hu, you really didn't disappoint me! Inform Ma Wanzhong that his troops can move, but they outflank the little devils of these four divisions on both flanks, let one go, and engage in military law! ”

Liao Jundong also breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Hu Guoshan's telegram, the hard work paid off, the Japanese army had arrived at the designated location, and the New Year's gift sent to the door was not accepted in vain.

After receiving the order, more than 25,000 troops of Ma Wanzhong's division began to attack the rear of the Japanese army from both flanks to cut off the rear of the Japanese army.

"How's the situation with the artillery brigade?"

"Report to Brother Fan, the artillery brigade has left but has not yet arrived at the designated position!"

"Send a telegram to urge them, tell them that if it's too late, this gift will not be theirs!"

Liao Fan is now confident and full of confidence, since the Japanese army has arrived, he is not afraid of the Japanese army running away.

"Brother Fan, the Japanese army is the strength of four divisions, we have two divisions, and now the total is less than 60,000!" Cun Qi was worried about Liao Fan's plan, at first they only planned to surround the two divisions of the Japanese army, and then fight quickly, but now the Japanese army is coming with four divisions, which is not within the scope of their plan.

Liao Fan smiled lightly and swept away yesterday's sadness: "Don't worry, I know the combat effectiveness of our troops best, don't forget that we still have an artillery brigade!" ”

"But what if the little devil reinforcements arrive?"

"At the speed of the little devil's reinforcements, it will take at least a day to reach the battlefield, and in this day's time, our troops will be able to eat two divisions of the Japanese army! Cripple the remaining two divisions of the Japanese army, and when the little devils arrive, we will take the initiative to retreat! ”

This is a big meal, Liao Fan didn't plan to swallow it in one bite, after all, there were nearly 100,000 Japanese troops in four divisions, and they killed 100,000 with 60,000, I'm afraid they don't have this good mouth, and they killed 1,000 enemies and lost 800, Liao Fan didn't want to fight off his old book all at once, the little devil didn't have 100,000 troops and 400,000!

"Withdraw?"

Cun Qi didn't expect Liao Fan to say this.

"We don't have many troops to block the Japanese reinforcements, and the number of Japanese reinforcements is not small, the only strength in my hands now is the more than 3,000 members of the guard regiment and the armored brigade detained from Hu Guoshan, and the rest is the special operations division, these troops are not enough to block hundreds of thousands of Japanese reinforcements, our only way is to retreat!"

Liao Fan didn't have many troops in his hands, if Liu Chundao and Li Weimin were not contained, he would definitely eat all the strength of the four divisions of the Japanese army in one go, but the heavens were not beautiful, they could only cripple the Japanese army.

But in this way, Liao Fan is already very satisfied, the five fingers of the Japanese army can be broken today, and Liao Fan understands this truth when he sees it.

Under Liao Fan's order, Ma Wanzhong's troops were immediately dispersed into two troops, with the familiar terrain, they interspersed all the way, and when they encountered the little devil's defense, they concentrated their firepower to knock them out, and the defense points temporarily set up by the Japanese army could not stop Ma Wanzhong's attack at all.

In three hours, Ma Wanzhong and his men retreated from the 18 defense points that had just been set up by the Japanese army.

On both flanks of the Kwantung Army, it was the Japanese troops in North China who were responsible for the defense, and they frequently sent telegrams to the lieutenant generals of the Kwantung Army, telling them that their flanks were attacked by a large number of Chinese troops and that they had to retreat.

The lieutenant general of the Kwantung Army thought that they were deliberately creating a lie to make them retreat, after all, from the beginning Okamura Ninji began to order him to retreat, in order to make the Kwantung Army retreat, these people would lie to them about the battle situation, of course he refused to believe the Japanese army in North China, the great credit was in front of him, as long as he broke through the defense line of the Chinese army, they opened the gap into the Taihang Mountain, and he was only one step away from the general.

When the lieutenant general of the Kwantung Army was only one step away from the general, he was also only one step away from Lord Yama.

Because the Japanese pursued too quickly, their baggage troops and heavy artillery units did not feel the battlefield, and Ma Wanzhong used the method of fighting quickly to take advantage of the fact that the little devils were not ready to defend the position, and carried out continuous fierce attacks on the Japanese army.

In less than half a day, the strength of the four divisions of the Japanese army had been surrounded by Hu Guoshan and Ma Wanzhong, and when gunshots rang out behind them, the Japanese lieutenant general knew that they had really been surrounded.
