Zhao Jinglin quickly withdrew to the position with the soldiers, and asked people to count it, and this time they brought back dozens of guns, more than 2,000 bullets, and more than 100 grenades.

Although these ammunition and ammunition are not much, they can also allow the Eighth Route Army to take off support for a while, and most importantly, now that it is dark, the Eighth Route Army has successfully held out until dark, which will win a little respite for the Eighth Route Army.

Zhao Jinglin finally couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief, although the troops suffered heavy casualties and the ammunition was basically exhausted, but now that it finally got dark, there was a little more hope, and the little devil should not attack again after dark.

Zhao Jinglin lay on a big stone and rested for a while, after fighting for so long, Zhao Jinglin was so tired that he almost collapsed.

After a while, Zhao Jinglin struggled to get up from the ground and casually ordered: "You continue to hold your position, be on strict guard, and prevent the little devils from sneaking up." I'll go back to the headquarters! ”

"Yes!" The first battalion commander and others hurriedly responded.

Zhao Jinglin took the guards and returned to the headquarters along a rugged mountain road.

As soon as Zhu Yaohui saw Zhao Jinglin, he immediately greeted him, and hurriedly asked, "Old Zhao, are you okay?" Didn't get hurt! ”

Zhao Jinglin shook his head and said, "It's a little injured, but it's not in the way, these blood are all dog blood." ”

Zhu Yaohui was obviously relieved, nodded and said, "It's okay." ”

Zhao Jinglin sat on the bench, picked up the tea jar on the table, filled half a jar of water, and said with a long sigh of relief: "By the way, how is the situation of the friendly army?" ”

Zhu Yaohui sighed softly and said: "The situation is not good, the main positions of Caoduo Mountain and Cangshuyuan have also been lost, and the casualties of each unit are not small, at present, all the troops have all shrunk into the narrow area from the west of Guanshan to Beiye, the encirclement of the little devils is getting tighter and tighter, and if it goes on like this, we really can't hold out for long." ”

Zhao Jinglin's brows furrowed deeply when he heard this, and he couldn't help but sigh deeply.

At this time, Zhu Yaohui continued: "But it is not without good news, Commander Lu sent a telegram saying that Liu Hong led the military engineering team and the special service battalion of the military region to come to support first. ”

Zhao Jinghui nodded and said: "I know about this, but there are more than 100 miles from Dingzhou to our Guanshan, even if they keep hurrying, it is estimated that they will not be able to arrive first for a while and a half, and it will be good if they can arrive tomorrow, not to mention that they may be blocked by little devils along the way, so it is even more impossible to guarantee, not to mention that they are a little person, even if they rush to Guanshan, what is the use!" ”

Zhu Yaohui said with a smile: "Then you are wrong, to tell you the truth, the troops led by Liu Hong have arrived near Guyue Town." ”

"How is this possible?" Zhao Jinglin asked with a look of surprise.

Zhu Yaohui smiled and explained: "At the beginning, I also thought it was unlikely, after asking the headquarters to get the exact news, they disguised themselves as little devils, and drove more than 100 miles in a truck last night, in the area of Gangnan and the area east of Guyue Town, they were blocked by little devils one after another, and I don't know how Liu Hong, this kid, fought a battle, and broke through the resistance of two little devils in one day, and annihilated more than 1,000 Japanese troops, and has successfully detoured back to the vicinity of Guyue Town. However, the exact location is not yet clear. ”

When Zhao Jinglin heard this, he was speechless in surprise for a while, and only after a while did he react, sigh slightly and say, "Hey! This Liu Hong is really a strange person! It seems that we underestimated him before. ”

Zhu Yaohui nodded and said: "This Liu Hong is really powerful, there is such a strange army suddenly arrived, and they are still outside the devil encirclement, which can effectively contain some little devils and relieve us of some pressure." ”

Zhao Jinglin nodded noncommittally and said: "But don't be too optimistic, according to my estimate, the main force led by Commander Lu will not arrive until tomorrow night at the earliest, with our current situation, do you think we can hold out for another day?" ”

Zhu Yaohui sighed deeply and said: "This is really not good, I can only do my best and obey the destiny of heaven." However, the Taiyue Military Region has gathered a group of troops to launch a certain offensive against the little devils from the southwest, and a group of troops from the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region have also launched an attack on the devils on the periphery in the northwest direction, so that the strength of the Japanese army's independent fourth mixed brigade is basically all contained, we only need to deal with one 110th division, so that our pressure can be reduced a lot, plus with the assistance of the military engineering team, it is not impossible to hold on for another day. ”

"Hmm!" Zhao Jinglin nodded and said: "No matter what, we have to do our best to persevere, even if there is only a glimmer of hope, we must do our best to win." ”

"Hmm!" Zhu Yaohui nodded vigorously.

……

At the headquarters of the 110th Division of the Japanese Army, Mamoru Iinuma looked at the telegram in his hand, and his anger gradually enveloped the wrinkled old face.

"Bagaya Road~!" Iinuma scolded angrily, and tore the telegram in his hand to shreds in annoyance.

The devil officer next to him hurriedly opened his mouth and persuaded him: "Your Excellency the general, stop your anger!" ”

"Anger?" Mamoru Iinuma gritted his teeth and said angrily, "You let me calm my anger? How to calm anger? There are so many people in the main force, and they can't even take a small Guanshan position, that's all! The Kawada Brigade and the Tajima Brigade, the imperial army of the two brigades were completely annihilated, which was simply a shame for the imperial army. ”

"Hello! The crushing defeat of Kawada's brigade was just an accident, and if it weren't for the heavy losses they suffered from the bombing of the army aviation, such a problem would never have arisen. The devil officer hurriedly explained that at this point, he could only comfort the angry Iinuma with an accident.

"Accident?" Mamoru Iinuma said coldly: "If all the jade shatters of the Kawada Brigade are just an accident, then what about the Tajima Brigade!" An infantry brigade, which occupied favorable terrain in advance, couldn't even stop a group of Tubalu, and finally turned around and was completely defeated by Tubalu, losing nearly a thousand imperial troops, is this just an accident? ”

"Hello! His Excellency, the division commander, calmed his anger. The devil officer was speechless for a moment.

"Hmph~!" Iinuma Shou snorted coldly, tried to suppress the anger in his heart, and gradually calmed down, this old devil also understood in his heart that no matter how angry he was now, it was useless, the top priority was to find a way to stop Liu Hong's martial arts team, and in addition, to eliminate the besieged Eighth Route Army as soon as possible, the longer the time dragged on, the more unfavorable it would be.
