Yanagi Hidehiko's Left Route Army was severely damaged by Shao Fei twice, and the death toll exceeded 200, half of the entire Left Route Army. And Shao Fei had almost no losses on his side.

The two sides are now facing each other in Songgou Village. Taking the initiative to attack the enemy's position, Shao Fei rarely did this kind of thing, because the casualties were too large. In the same way, the devil is equally powerless in the face of the main force of three companies. Now all they can do is wait for reinforcements to arrive.

"Captain, the devil in front of you is moving eastward, as if he knows that we are going to evacuate to the woods and wants to hold us back."

The pillar ran over and reported to Shao Fei the situation of the devils above.

Shao Fei replied: "Leave him alone. Troops were ordered to be ready to withdraw at any time. ”

The pillar didn't understand very well and asked, "Why don't you withdraw now?"

Shao Fei explained: "I retreated into the woods, and the devils did not dare to pursue. But Qiangzi is still blocking reinforcements in Zhaohuang Village, and the devils in front can easily outflank them. ”

The devil's strength can't stop the three main companies, so Shao Fei is not worried. Now Shao Fei and all they can do is wait, hoping that Hadron can destroy more of the devil's living force and reduce the pressure for the decisive battle in the future.

Zhao Huang Village. After Shao Fei led the main force away, Qiangzi arranged for a platoon of soldiers to bring supplies, and then escorted the female soldiers of the medical team to the woods. And he took two platoons of soldiers to block the devil reinforcements. In order to prevent accidents, Qiangzi brought Liu Jin with him.

Coming to the position designated by Shao Fei, Qiangzi led the soldiers to lay mines two hundred meters below the soil slope. Two hundred meters plus the length of the dirt slope exceeds the maximum range of the mortar gun, so the mortar gun that the devil is proud of is useless.

After the incident, the soldiers of the two platoons hid behind the dirt slope and waited for the arrival of devil reinforcements.

Time passed by a minute, but the arrival of the devil was delayed, and the soldiers were a little impatient. Hadron looked at the time, it should be almost up.

"Report to the captain." A soldier ran from behind and said, "More than thirty puppet soldiers came towards me and were captured by my squad. It's down the slope right now. ”

Qiangzi looked back, those puppet soldiers were all embarrassed, there were no weapons in their hands, they should be the prisoners released by Shao Fei's side. Continuing to the north is the base of Forte, and they are indeed to the west, there are only devils there, and it seems that they are dead and unchanging.

Hadron came to these people and asked, "Where are you going?"

Each of these puppets bowed their heads, and no one answered.

"The west is full of devils, do you want to go back to being a Japanese dog?"

This time, there was still no answer.

"It's all dead! It's a shame to be alive. ”

After saying this, Qiangzi turned to leave.

"Spare your life, Grandpa of the Eighth Route Army."

"Spare our dogs."

“……”

Those puppet soldiers immediately knelt down and kept practicing themselves in order to survive. As for the mess of dignity, they have long lost it on the devil's side.

"Dog life?" Hadron turned around and walked back and asked, "Do you admit that you are dogs?"

"Yes, yes, yes, we're dogs, it's cheap, just spare us. We promise not to be traitors anymore. ”

It was a leader, a lieutenant officer, who spoke.

"! Don't you want to be a traitor and still run this way!? The west is full of devils, if you don't go to be two dogs, do you still want to be an anti-Japanese hero! ”

Qiangzi has never seen such a faceless Chinese, and when he hears those disgusting words, he will not fight anywhere.

Qiangzi pointed to the west and said, "Okay, let's go." I promise not to shoot, the road is full of mines, and I won't kill you. ”

"Boom!" With a loud bang, the devil reinforcements had already arrived and stepped on the mine, killing and wounding five people.

The warrior above shouted: "Captain! The devil is coming! ”

"Squad leader, look at them."

After the strong son finished the order, he ran to the dirt slope to direct the battle.

There are more than 200 devils and puppet troops in the west of the minefield, which is their vanguard. There were three or four hundred people in the back, as well as baggage.

After the devil struck a mine, he immediately sent sappers to start clearing the mine.

One soldier asked, "Captain, what are they doing?"

"I don't know. Could it be that this is the sapper. ”

Hadron was also the first to see the sappers, they could accurately determine the location of the mine, so Hadron ordered loudly: "Give me a shot in that direction, don't aim, ask for rapid fire!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

The fighters of two platoons on the dirt slope fired rapidly in one direction, and at three hundred meters they could not aim at all, so they could only fire quickly, and they shot those sappers to death in random robbery.

"Shoot!"

The devil soldiers, on the orders of the commander, began to counterattack. They can't lock on to their targets either, so they can only make a random call.

"Hidden!"

Hadron commanded. He doesn't care about fighting devils, it's not his job.

After a round of firing from the devil, the demining began.

One of the fighters shouted: "Captain, the devils have started demining again."

Qiangzi ordered: "Loot and kill the sappers for me!"

Another round of fire from above the dirt slope killed the sappers in the distance, and then continued to hide.

Again and again, the devil has been stagnant, and many sappers have died. If this continues, they will not be able to reach the designated position until dark.

"Yaga!" The commander of the devil captain was angry and anxious, and now he still fantasized about surrounding Shao Fei's three companies, so he ordered those puppet troops to step on the mines, which was the most efficient way.

The devil randomly selected more than thirty people, and then the captain said in front of these people: "You are all the bravest soldiers, warriors, and good friends of our imperial army. Now is the time for you to show your loyalty, and the Imperial Army will not forget you. ”

These puppet soldiers knew what the devil told them to do, and they were all panicked. In the eyes of devils, he is not even as good as people, and he called them cannon fodder in wars, and now he tells them to roll mines.

"Hurry up!" "Hurry up!"

These puppet soldiers were reluctant to step forward, and the devil soldiers began to urge. Standing on the side, the puppet army officer lowered his head and was unwilling to look directly.

Suddenly, one of the puppet soldiers fled in one direction. "Bang!" was killed from behind by a ghost soldier.

The devil captain said loudly: "It's a shame to die like this! If you go and get rid of the mines ahead, you will get honors and a big pension! ”

Seeing this scene, the strong man in the distance scolded in his mouth: "A group of miscellaneous people, they don't dare to resist even if they are twice as many as them."

After scolding, Qiangzi called the puppet soldiers below to come and watch together.

"Yaga! Get out of here! ”

The devil soldiers put their guns on top and forced those puppet soldiers to roll mines. The puppet army is helpless, and if you run anyway, you will die, so it is better to exchange this cheap life for a pension.

"Hit!" Hadron couldn't stand it a little and loudly ordered the troops to shoot.

"Fight back!" The devil captain ordered, and then urged those puppet soldiers to roll mines.

"Boom!" With a bang, the first puppet soldier was blown up in the roll, and flesh and blood flew everywhere.

"We're not dogs! Opposite! ”

On the dirt slope, the lieutenant of the puppet army, who had just told Qiangzi that he was a dog, suddenly stood up and shouted desperately at the puppet soldiers below.

"Opposite! Opposite! ……”

The lieutenant shouted heartbreakingly, but none of the puppet troops below heard it. I don't know if it's too far away, or if the gunfire is too loud, or if the puppet army below doesn't want to listen. When the fate of the first bird is only death.

"Bang!" A shot, a bullet hit the lieutenant, and that's the risk you take when you get out of the way.

Qiangzi ordered him to be carried to the back and treated by the medics. However, the bullet hit the vital point and could not be cured.

The lieutenant was dying, and a group of puppet soldiers surrounded him.

"I, I want to see your sir."

The lieutenant endured his last breath and wanted to see Hadron.

After Qiangzi came over, the puppet lieutenant held Qiangzi's hand and begged with tears: "Please, let my brothers be human beings, don't be dogs anymore."

Hadron nodded: "I promise you."

The lieutenant looked at the puppet soldiers around him and said with his last strength: "Brothers, you are human beings, and you can't die like dogs."

After saying that, the puppet lieutenant swallowed his last breath and died like a human.
