The deputy battalion commander Hua Gou led the brothers of the three companies to fight with the little devils in the afternoon, although they desperately rushed left and right, but the little devils had already prepared, and finally were surrounded by devils by a river, like iron buckets, and fell into a heavy siege.

Most of the brothers of the three companies were lost in this half-day breakout battle, and those who were still alive were exhausted, scarred and covered with mud, and they no longer looked like men.

The devil set a trap for the deputy battalion commander Huagou and them, thinking that annihilating them was a matter of being captured.

However, the little devil underestimated the tenacious combat effectiveness of the guerrilla brothers of the flower dog and them in a desperate situation, and even broke through the encirclement of the devil several times in a row, and almost stood out.

Most of the day's fighting caused heavy casualties to their brothers, and the way to break through was full of corpses, and the devils did not bargain, and they also suffered many casualties.

At this moment, the devil surrounded the flower dog and them by a river, and the devils who chased and intercepted all the way were tired enough, so they did not immediately attack, but surrounded them to eat and rest, ready to eat and drink enough to clean them up.

They knew that there was little hope of breaking through, so they simply built a position on the spot and fought with the devils, resting to replenish their strength, waiting for dark to see if they could find an opportunity.

The devil's bones reveal arrogance, but in the face of such a group of guerrillas with amazing combat effectiveness, they do not dare to rush up, they just wait for the new force to come over.

To take the words of the guerrilla brothers, now that the meat is in the pot, there is no need to remove the lid in such a hurry.

Groups of devil soldiers are rushing over from all directions, surrounding the flower dogs and them on three layers inside and three layers outside, and the situation is even more serious.

The besieged guerrilla brothers did not care about the fatigue of their bodies, and built fortifications on the spot with their hands and feet, ready to resist to the end, and it was absolutely impossible for the devils to destroy them without paying a price.

The weather had cleared, but the ground was still wet and filled with water, but the rain had penetrated into the earth, and it was much easier for the brothers to dig fortifications.

The brethren had been exposed to earthwork when they were training in the guerrilla corps of northern Jiangsu, and at the moment they did not have many tools, so they used bayonets and hand gouging.

Foxholes were formed under them, and then the foxholes were connected to form shallow trenches.

The little devil saw that the flower dogs were building fortifications, and tried to rush up, but the brothers had stabilized their positions and were not so flustered.

A flurry of guns and grenadiers smashed through, and the devil had to get out of range of his rifle after leaving dozens of corpses behind.

The devil's grenadier also fired back at the Flower Dog, blowing the ground into mud puddles, and instead helping the Flower Dog to build fortifications.

The deputy battalion commander Hua Dog and the others were building fortifications under the eyes of the little devils, and although the devils were angry, they were helpless.

By the time the devils brought in heavy machine guns and mortars, the Flower Dogs had almost finished building the fortifications.

"The number of little devils is increasing, and it will be difficult for us to break through."

Watching the teams of devils with all kinds of weapons along the ridges of the paddy field belt to reach the periphery and join the devils who surrounded them, the hearts of the flower dogs also sank to the bottom.

"As long as we hold on until dark, we will be able to find an opportunity to break out."

Flower Dog looked at the gray-haired and bloodstained brothers, and although he regretted it in his heart, he had to lift his spirits, because he was now the supreme commander here.

Hua Gou kept cheering up the demoralized brothers: "Besides, if the battalion commanders knew that we were surrounded, they would not have left us alone, and would definitely find a way to rescue us, telling the brothers that perseverance is victory." ”

"Battalion Lieutenant, but we don't have much ammunition......"

The commander and deputy commander of the first company had already been killed, and at the moment the platoon commander was also the commander of the platoon, and he bluntly stated the predicament they were facing.

After hearing the words of this platoon commander, everyone's faces became extremely solemn, their ammunition had been almost consumed in the previous battle, and it was indeed about to run out at this moment.

"How much is left?"

The deputy battalion commander Hua Gou knew that the amount of ammunition was related to whether they could hold it until dark, and after being reminded, he also paid attention to it.

"We have more than 50 brothers in our company, each with less than two bullets, and only about 20 grenades left."

"What about you?"

Hua Gou's face was solemn, and his eyes fell on the other two company commanders.

"My second company is about the same, some of the brothers have already run out of bullets, and there are no more than five bullets."

"Our heavy machine guns were lost during the breakout, and there were more than 200 rounds of ammunition for the light machine guns, five grenades for the grenadier platoon, and two more shells for the mortars......"

The remaining ammunition may not be able to last even a battle, but now there are still four or five hours before dark, and the deputy battalion commander Hua Gou has never experienced such a predicament.

"The light machine gun consumes too many bullets, so even put 100 rounds of ammunition into the hands of the brothers, leave 100 rounds for emergency use, and save some grenades." Flower Dog had to ask the brothers to use the ammunition evenly.

"Battalion deputy, I have a solution to the ammunition." The second company commander thought about it and spoke.

"What's the solution?" After hearing the words of the second company commander, everyone's spirits were shocked.

"When the little devils attack, get closer and fight, maybe you can get some ammunition."

"But what if the devil is approaching, our firepower is weak and we can't stop it?" The company commander of the machine gun company said worriedly.

A sinister color flashed on the face of the flower dog and said: "It's better for them to rush in, and the bayonet in our hands is not a burning stick, stab his mother!" ”

"Brothers, as soon as we put on this uniform, we should be prepared to die for our country, and go down to tell the brothers that we are ready to fight to the death!" Flower Dog's cold gaze swept over the platoon commanders, with a hint of determination in his tone.

"Fight to the death!"

Even the platoon commanders have crawled over from veterans, and they have experienced more vicious battles, and they have long had the consciousness of the horse leather shroud, and they all roared murderously.

"Battalion deputy, a few brothers are no longer good." While they were deliberating here, a brother came running up to them.

"Let's take a position, I'll take a look."

The deputy battalion commander, Hua Gou, waved his hand to the company platoon commanders and followed the brother straight to the place where the wounded were placed.

Because they were surrounded in battle, in order to break through lightly, the flower dogs lost almost everything they could throw when they broke through, and the stretchers were all lost.

At this moment, more than twenty dying wounded were lying on the ground, with only a layer of reed stalks from the river under them, and the blood had seeped into the mud, making the mud exude a strange bright red.

These brothers were all injured when the devils bombarded just now, and some of the fragments cut their stomachs, and they were tightly strangled with their military uniforms at the moment, but their breath was getting weaker and weaker.

"Brother, I'm sorry for your ......"

The flower dog squatted down, looking at the wounded brother, his heart was full of guilt, if he hadn't acted rashly, he wouldn't have fallen into the trap of the devil.

"Battalion, battalion deputy, don't blame you..."Looking at the flower dog with a face full of self-blame, this brother forced a smile on his painful face.

"I don't... No, when I die, bring a letter to my family and tell my father that I can't do my filial piety..."

Seeing the pain on this brother's face, his voice was choppy and his voice was choppy, and the brothers around him couldn't help but shed tears.

Hua Gou held this brother's hand, his eyes were moist, and he nodded hard: "I will definitely bring you a letter, as long as we have a brother alive, I will bring the letter." ”

"My home is in, Henan... Henan Zhongmu east of... Liujiacun...."Before the brother finished speaking, he couldn't hold back and died.

"Who knows Zhongmu?" The deputy battalion commander Hua Gou gently put down the brother, raised his head and asked the brothers around him with tears on their faces.

"My home is more than 200 miles away from Zhongmu, but two years ago, the New Eighth Division blew the Yellow River open, and it was already completely flooded......," one brother said.

After hearing this brother's words, the deputy battalion commander Hua Gou and the surrounding brothers were silent.

"Write down the address, whoever breaks out, no matter what happens over there, must carry the letter." After being silent for a long time, the flower dog commanded.

"Yes—"
