Chapter 786: The Decisive Battle of Taihang Mountain (8)

"Since the senior brothers are here, they have no intention of going back alive, just give the order, we will definitely complete the task!"

The commander of the third company was well aware of the consequences of attacking the enemy behind enemy lines, and they could not retreat with their whole body, and when they crossed the river, they were already ready to die on the other side of the river. So many brothers have died here, but the second company commander is their old comrade-in-arms, and now they are all dead, and there is no point in him still living.

"Japanese artillery positions!" Hu Guoshan once again set his eyes on the Japanese artillery position, now the Japanese artillery is close at hand, and after they make such a fuss, the Japanese army does not know where they are hiding, the most important thing is that they have already attacked the Japanese artillery position once, the Japanese army will definitely not believe that they dare to come back, and destroy the remaining Japanese artillery by surprise.

After the Japanese artillery position was attacked, the remaining Japanese soldiers who were still alive were counting the bodies of their comrades, while the other Japanese soldiers gathered in a courtyard in frustration and waited for their commander's orders, and no one went to sleep because they could not sleep at all.

The little devils couldn't imagine that the people who had just attacked them had come back again, and when this group of ghosts stood in front of them, the little devils couldn't believe that this was true, but the fall of their companions and the fierce gunfire told them that this group of demons had really returned.

The screams were endless, the Japanese army did not have time to return fire at Hu Guoshan, everything was too sudden, the Japanese artillery commander was directly killed in his room, and the artillery of the little devil did not have the slightest power to fight back.

"Withdraw!"

After the first blow was successful, Hu Guoshan decisively ordered a retreat. However, this time Hu Guoshan was not so lucky, they had no troops to delay the Japanese reinforcements for them, and the Japanese patrol was nearby, they were looking for Hu Guoshan's traces, and after hearing the gunshots from here, they rushed directly to the village.

The Japanese patrol had only one squadron of troops, but this was enough, and before Hu Guoshan and them could withdraw from the village, the Japanese army had already arrived and blocked them back from the entrance of the village.

"Division commander, there are no little devils in the north of the village, we can break through from the north of the village!"

"Okay, you take the people to retreat first, I take a platoon of cover, and we will gather on the river bank and retreat!" Hu Guoshan knew that they would easily be stuck by the little devils when they retreated like this, and when they reached the bank of the river, they would be used as targets by the little devils if they forcibly crossed the river.

"Commander, how could I leave you here! You retreat with your troops, and I stay to cover! ”

"You also know that I am the division commander, carry out orders! Reinforcements from the little devils are coming soon, and none of us can get out if we stay here! I'll definitely be rushing to the river! ”

However, how could the commander of the third company still leave his division commander here, no matter in which unit, he could be shot if he abandoned his commander and went back, even if there was no military rule, they were all comrades-in-arms who came down from the battlefield together, how could they abandon each other.

"You stay, a long line!" The commander of the third company roared loudly, and then gave an order to the three soldiers around him, "A few of you resist the division commander away!" ”

"You dare!"

The commander of the third company ignored Hu Guoshan at all, the commander of the guard battalion was missing, and the other two company commanders were missing and one was killed, and the commander of the third company had absolute leadership over the guard battalion, which means that the direct rights of the guard battalion belonged to the commander of the third company.

Hu Guoshan had no chance to resist at all, and the soldiers in the guard battalion were all strong and well-trained, and they were not ambiguous in fighting little devils, and even more so in resisting their own division commanders.

As soon as most of the remaining forces of the guard battalion withdrew from the village, the Japanese army launched an attack on the village, leaving only a platoon of fighters, even if they had the ability to reach the sky, how could they block the frantic attack of the enemy dozens of times their size.

What's more, the strength of the Japanese army is not only in the village, the surrounding patrols are looking for Hu Guoshan, they are already crazy, and when they hear gunfire on this side of the village, they all concentrate on the village side.

Hu Guoshan: They had just withdrawn from the village and encountered another wave of Japanese troops within a quarter of an hour, and they could only retreat while fighting!

"Da Da Da"

The guns were moving, and the soldiers were falling and never getting up, their blood solidified on the cold ground, perhaps the warm sunshine of tomorrow would melt them back into the land. An inch of mountains and rivers and an inch of blood, this is the land that is exchanged for life, and the freedom won by blood donation.

The soldiers of the guard battalion were seriously attritional, and the Japanese troops were constantly charging at them on both flanks, and none of the fighters scattered to the two flanks were able to return alive.

In the last darkness before dawn, Hu Guoshan and they finally retreated to the bank of the Zhanghe River, where several rocks nearby provided them with their last refuge. Hu Guoshan looked at the dark sky in the distance, he knew that when the sun was angry, they would never have a chance to go back.

"Division Commander, what are the next orders?" The commander of the third company was shot in the arm and moved to Hu Guoshan's side with difficulty.

Hu Guoshan was also exhausted at this time, so he let the little devil chase after him and ran in the cold wind all night, and no matter how good his physical strength was, he was exhausted.

"Do you regret it?" Hu Guoshan asked the commander of the third company.

"Haha, do I have a chance to regret it, teacher?"

"Also, the Japanese army has already set up machine guns, and with our little force, there is no cover, and it is a live target on the open river!"

The commander of the third company understood, this was the last order of their division commander, they would not choose to be a live target, as Chinese soldiers, a desperate situation is coming, they have only one choice, that is, to fight the Japanese army to the end.

"I'll go and tell the brethren!"

"No need to go, the brothers know in their hearts that they are all veterans who have fought with us for two years, and they all understand this situation on the battlefield! Let the brethren be pure for a while! Hu Guoshan stopped the commander of the third company.

Everyone understands the situation at this time, as a veteran, but knowing in their hearts that it is another thing to tell it in person, it is better to let the soldiers have a trace of illusion, even if it is just this illusion, it is the only motivation to support them to fight.

"It's so cold, if only I could make a fire to warm up!"

"When I was a child, I herded cattle for the landlord's family, and I picked up cow dung after twisting my butt every day, and the cow dung I picked up was dried and stored until winter, and then I used it for fire, and I thought about when I just herded the cattle, and I didn't care about you guys, which was really good!" Hu Guoshan smiled lightly, he was just homesick, and he had never been back since he served as a soldier for the stupid son of the landlord's family.

"Hey, hey, teacher, when it's peaceful, I'll build a big house, and I'll build a fire in the house in the winter, and it'll be as warm as in summer!" The commander of the third company smirked, thinking about his future house.

"We don't have it, but they will, there are lights in the room, there are telephones, everyone has something to eat, and there are thick clothes to wear! They will definitely have it! ”

Hu Guoshan knew that he might not see that day, and when the sky in the east had a little light, the Japanese army would rush up, and I was afraid that even the morning sun would not let them see it.

"Okay, let the soldiers check the equipment, don't embarrass the Chinese soldiers, especially in front of the little devils, you have to die with backbone!"

"Da Da Da"

The crisp sound of gunfire suddenly sounded in the rear of the Japanese army, the Japanese army was not prepared for a big mess at all, and in the dark night, the Japanese army could not distinguish between their own people and the enemy, so they just opened fire, the Japanese army bombed the camp, and several Japanese squadrons were actually fighting each other.

Hu Guoshan and the others were also blinded, and they were all ready to make heroic sacrifices, but things suddenly took a turn for the better.

"Commander, what's going on? What about the little devil dog eat dog? "The commander of the third company was also blinded, he thought he was going to see Lord Yama, why did he suddenly kill a trip halfway to bite the gold.

"Withdraw! You cross the river first with the wounded! ”

Immediately decided, now is the best time for them to cross the river while the little devil troops are in chaos, and if they don't leave, they will really never be able to go again.

In fact, Hu Guoshan had already guessed in his heart who was attacking from the rear of the Japanese army, and he wanted to wait here on the river bank for a while, waiting for them to cross the river together, but he knew that it was impossible, and there was not only a squadron or a brigade of the Japanese army between them, but they could not break through the layers of Japanese blockade and come to the river bank.

Hu Guoshan glanced at the eastern sky, he could already see a glimmer of light, Hu Guoshan knew that he couldn't wait any longer, if he waited any longer, they would never have such a good chance to go back.

The warriors did not assemble, but ran as fast as they could, to the other side of the river, except for the howling cold wind, and the sound of bullets breaking through the air, and the sporadic fighters fell on the ice, convulsed a few times, and then there was no movement. At this time, no one should care about anyone, not even their division commander, this is what Hu Guoshan told them.

The morning glow had already been seen in the east, and the gunfire on the other side of the Zhanghe River had become much more sparse, but there were still people exchanging fire.

"Division commander, all the soldiers who can cross the river have already come!" The commander of the third company walked to Hu Guoshan's side.

Hu Guoshan raised his head and glanced at the scattered soldiers around him, each soldier was wounded, and the soldiers who crossed the river alive plus the wounded were only eighteen people, who went to a reinforced battalion and came back with a squad.

"Let's go, let's go back!"

Hu Guoshan got up and glanced at the other side of the Zhanghe River, they were back, and the other one they could never come back.

The wind was quiet, the gunfire disappeared, and at noon, Hu Guoshan and the others finally saw their team.

"Take the wounded to bandage and prepare food for them!" The battalion commander of the garrison instructed the fighters around him to take care of the wounded.

Hu Guoshan saw that the battalion commander of the garrison had something to tell him, and then walked to the side with him: "You'd better tell me it's good news!" ”

There was too much bad news yesterday, which made Hu Guoshan feel very sad, and he very much wanted to hear good news.

The battalion commander of the garrison shook his head gently: "Division commander, you better eat something first, and I'll tell you when I'm done!" ”

"It's already like this, what worse news can there be, besides, I haven't seen any strong winds and waves, otherwise I can become your division commander?"
