Shao Fei led the special combat team to Xicheng all the way to Xicheng, and found that it was a step too late, and Xicheng was occupied by devils. 【Fengyun Reading Network. According to the retreat plan of Yang Hongtao in advance, Shao Fei led the team to the north gate quickly.

On the way, I happened to meet the adjutant Li Shaokun, who was burying the body of General Wang Mingzhang. But Shao Fei still didn't know that Wang Mingzhang had been sacrificed.

Shao Fei stepped forward and asked, "Why are you still here, the devil will come over soon."

A group of people turned around, tears in the corners of their eyes, grief-stricken. And Li Shaokun continued to bury it, and after burying it, he used hay to camouflage it, and finally made a mark on the side.

Li Shaokun stood up, walked up to Shao Fei, and asked, "For the sake of our joint defense of Teng County, do me a favor." Please remember this place, as well as General Sun Zhen, who handed these things over to Lincheng, you should know him. ”

As he spoke, Li Shaokun handed over Wang Mingzhang's military uniform, certificates, and other things that could prove Wang Mingzhang's identity to Shao Fei.

Even if the devils found out about this place, they couldn't let them know that it was their number one mortal enemy buried here, so as not to make a fuss about the general's corpse.

Shao Fei didn't take those relics, and when he saw the seven military uniforms with holes, he understood everything. Wang Mingzhang has died heroically, Shao Fei couldn't help but have tears in the corners of his eyes, revealing sadness.

"Salute!" Shao Fei ordered loudly.

The special combat team members behind him, together with Shao Fei, gave the final military salute to the place where General Wang Mingzhang was buried, as a sign of their highest respect for this famous anti-Japanese general.

After finishing, Shao Fei asked, "Why do you want me to help, can't you do it yourself?"

Li Shaokun replied with hatred: "The last order of the division commander before he died was to tell us to kill the devil!" We want revenge. ”

"I'm sorry, I can't help with this. He is your division commander, and it is your responsibility to relay the news, and you are also obliged to return the body of your division commander to the base camp. ”

Li Shaokun knew that Shao Fei's refusal was out of good intentions and wanted to evacuate Teng County safely.

Shao Fei finally said: "We are going to the north gate, that is the final evacuation route. It's up to you whether you go or not. ”

After finishing speaking, Shao Fei led the team to the north gate. Li Shaokun didn't think much about it and kept up with Shao Fei.

At the same time, the Japanese army bombarded the east gate with armor-piercing shells from the flat S cannon, and the tower caught fire. The Japanese troops at the east and south gates approached the north together.

Zhang Xuanwu, as the commander of the city defense, continued to lead the soldiers to fight bravely and bloodily. After rounds of fierce street fighting, the troops were finally exhausted by ammunition and were unable to fight back against the influx of enemy soldiers. It was only at dusk that they were forced to retreat to the northeast corner and the northern wall.

At this time, Wang Zhiyuan, commander of the 364th Brigade, and Zhang Xuanwu, commander of the city defense, were seriously wounded. The defenders of the city were left uncommanded and fell into a state of fighting on their own.

"Commander, Commander."

Hou Ziping, deputy commander of the third battalion of the 727th Regiment, shouted a few times, and Zhang Xuanwu, who was in a coma.

Zhang Xuanwu woke up slowly, looking at the dozen or so soldiers around him, all of them staring at him.

Zhang Xuanwu asked with his weak strength, "Why are you looking at me?" Go kill the devils. ”

Hou Ziping replied helplessly: "There are only three battalions left in our regiment, and the ammunition has already run out."

Zhang Xuanwu closed his eyes, and his heart was in contradiction and entanglement. If the battle continues, these dozens of people can only die in vain; If Tengxian is evacuated, it will violate the oath of coexistence in the county.

They are all the sons of Sichuan and Shu, the last seedlings of the 727th Regiment, Zhang Xuanwu ordered: "With your command, arrange for the troops to evacuate from the north gate."

"Yes."

Immediately, Hou Ziping led the last troops to the north gate.

At this time, the north gate was in chaos. Nearly 500 people crowded at the door.

"Get these bags out of the way! We're going out! ”

"No one is allowed to go out without an order! The division commander has an order, and those who leave the city without his warrant will be engaged in military law! ”

The focus of the quarrel was Yang Hongtao and a company commander guarding the north gate. Originally, there was a regiment defending the north gate, but later the war was tight and needed reinforcements, and a regiment became a battalion, and now it is a company.

Yang Hongtao knew that the devil was approaching, pointed at the seriously wounded, and said loudly: "They are all your people, do you think they can still fight!?" To stay is to die in vain! ”

"An order is an order, and I can't help it. When they die, so will we. The company commander looked at Yang Hongtao, sneered, and asked, "It can't be that you are afraid of death and want to leave, right?"

"Cnm!"

Yang Hongtao angrily took out the shell gun and put it on the company commander's chest, and said fiercely: "Lao Tzu is leaving, I left last night!" If it weren't for the broken brigade commander who saved you just now, he would have retreated from Ximen a long time ago. And the lives of my 12 brothers in vain! ”

"Stop!"

At this time, Ziping hurriedly rushed over and stopped Yang Hongtao.

Hou Ziping asked, "What's going on?"

The company commander explained the situation. Hou Ziping ordered: "Move the sandbags away, we are going to retreat."

The company commander was also very embarrassed: "But without the order of the division commander, I can't open the door."

Hou Ziping replied: "The retreat is the order of our regiment commander, he is the commander of the city defense, and he has this right."

Since it was Zhang Xuanwu's order, the company commander did not dare to disobey it, and immediately ordered his subordinates to remove the sandbags and open the north gate.

The situation in the north is very chaotic now, and there are more than 500 people in the three parties combined.

Hou Ziping saluted Yang Hongtao and said, "Your people go first, and we will break off." The wounded are please, there is one more thing that needs your help. ”

Yang Hongtao calmed down his anger and replied politely: "You say, I will do my best."

Hou Ziping waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him carried Zhang Xuanwu and Wang Zhiyuan forward on their backs, and asked, "You have a health team, and the brigade commander and regiment commander will ask you."

When Liu Ying saw it, he quickly stepped forward and motioned to the two soldiers to gently put the two commanders down and check the injuries. Confirm that they can stick to the safe area.

After the inspection, Liu Ying was very curious. Obviously, Zhang Xuanwu is awake, why is his eyes closed. How did Liu Ying know that retreating was a great shame for Zhang Xuanwu.

Liu Ying said to Yang Hongtao: "We must set off immediately and take out the shrapnel as soon as possible." And both showed symptoms of blood loss. ”

Liu Ying's words immediately made the soldiers of the 727th Regiment nervous.

"Got it." Yang Hongtao turned to Hou Ziping and said, "We will go north for a distance, and then west." I wait for you in the woods on the west side. ”

"It's a deal!"

After the two saluted each other, Yang Hongtao led the brigade to the north.

Now that Zhang Xuanwu has left, Hou Zi'an has made up his mind and is not in a hurry to leave Teng County.

"Deputy battalion commander, they are far away, aren't we cut off?"

A soldier stepped forward and signaled that it was time for the troops to leave.

At this time, there were gunshots everywhere in the county, and Hou Ziping turned around and asked loudly: "Are you afraid of death!?"

The soldiers said in unison: "Don't be afraid!"

Monkey Ziping smiled and ordered loudly: "Go to the train station, save the division commander!"

"Yes!"

Hearing the commander of the division to save the king, the voices of the soldiers were particularly loud. After the city was separated, Hou Ziping only knew that Wang Mingzhang had gone to the Xiguan Railway Station, where he knew that General Wang Mingzhang had been buried deep under the loess of Teng County.
