Wang Xiaoliang led a squad all the way to the east, and in Heliu Village, which was close to the border between the base area and the enemy-occupied area, he found strong fireworks coming out of the village, accompanied by gunfire from time to time, Wang Xiaoliang ordered the soldiers: "Get close to the reconnaissance, do not expose the target." ”

Just as a squad led by Wang Xiaoliang was approaching Dawangzhuang, he saw a group of enemy puppet soldiers with guns, escorting dozens of villagers who had been tied up and strung together with ropes, walking out of the south of the village, and they didn't know where to escort the villagers.

A soldier next to him said: "Squad leader, the enemy puppet army has captured the villagers, can we save them?" ”

"The strength of the Japanese army is about a small team, and the puppet army will not be less than one company, we have only ten soldiers, the disparity in strength is too great, and we are not the opponent of the enemy puppet army, once we can't be rescued, we will be put in."

When the soldiers heard Wang Xiaoliang say this, they felt that it made sense, and hid in the ditch with their guns, watching the enemy puppet army escort the villagers past them, getting farther and farther away from them.

At this moment, a soldier asked, "Squad Leader Wang, what do you say Captain Lei would do if he encountered the enemy puppet army and brutalized our people?" ”

Wang Xiaoliang was asked by this soldier for a while difficult to answer, but he was also the deputy battalion commander of the regular army of the Eighth Route Army, and now the students take turns to lead the squad to investigate, and these students have been demoted to the squad leader. ”

As soon as the soldier who asked this question heard Wang Xiaoliang order him to go back to report the news, he said in a low voice: "Squad leader Wang, we are now more than ten miles away from Guojiadian, I just ran all the way, wait for the letter to arrive, and then wait for the troops to rush over, the enemy puppet army has not all withdrawn?" Besides, if you take ten soldiers, can you hold back a force of more than 100 people from the enemy's puppet army? ”

"You mean that I won't be saved and run back, do you? Bastard, we are the Eighth Route Army, we can't see the villagers in danger of their lives and not save them, you immediately carry out the order, and you must pass the letter to Captain Lei in the shortest possible time. ”

After Wang Xiaoliang waited for the soldier to leave, he followed behind the enemy puppet army with ten soldiers, seeing that the farther he went away from the base area, once Lei Jian could not bring the troops to catch up with the reinforcements in time, his squad would be killed in the eyes of more than a hundred enemies.

In order to hold back the enemy, Wang Xiaoliang carefully checked their weapons and ammunition, and after two sneak attacks on the little devils in Liugou Town and Jugezhuang, the captured weapons were given priority to supplement the three squads sent to reconnoitre.

Wang Xiaoliang seemed to have calculated everything, looked at his watch, estimated that the thunder sword would come over in less than an hour, and he ordered the soldiers: "Bite the enemy's ass and shoot, don't hurt the villagers, hit me." ”

The enemy puppet army was showing off its strength and punching and kicking the captured villagers, shouting and scolding to speed up the march, and suddenly was hit by fire behind him, the devil squad leader found that the firepower of the sneak attack was not fierce, and immediately ordered Cao Chang next to him to lead a squad and a platoon of puppet troops, turn around and attack the ditch where the gun was fired, and must eliminate this small force of sneak attack.

Forty or fifty enemy puppet troops, under the command of the devil Cao Chang, rushed towards Wang Xiaoliang's hidden trench position with guns, and the fire was so fierce that Wang Xiaoliang and the soldiers who suppressed him could not raise their heads.

Wang Xiaoliang saw that the enemy puppet army was about to rush to the front of their position, and ordered the soldiers around him to cross cover and retreat immediately.

After this period of intense training, the discipline and military quality of the troops have been greatly improved, and the soldiers carried out cross-fire strikes against the enemy and puppet troops in groups of three, and quickly withdrew from their positions under mutual cover.

The devil Cao Chang found that there were less than ten people in the Eighth Route Army who attacked him, and he sneered: "A small group of Tu Eighth Route Army dares to sneak attack the troops of the Imperial Army, and I will kill you all." ”

The enemy puppet army accelerated the pursuit speed, and soon formed a three-sided encirclement of Wang Xiaoliang's ten people, once surrounded by the enemy puppet army, Wang Xiaoliang and they were powerless to resist the crazy enemy puppet army attack, and they had to fight to the death.

Wang Xiaoliang fought a few battles with Lei Jian, and he also learned a little from it, he ordered the soldiers to cross cover, quickly retreat to a piece of high ground behind him, use the high ground to block the attacking enemy, and look for an opportunity to retreat again.

A soldier beside him said: "Squad Leader Wang, this high ground is too small, the enemy puppet army can easily surround us, there is a mountain a hundred meters behind us, we can only retreat to that mountain, it is possible to borrow the terrain to block the enemy, take the opportunity to retreat." ”

Wang Xiaoliang felt that his self-esteem had been hurt, and he scolded rudely: "Malegobi, you think I don't know? If we patronize and retreat, we don't have to go to that mountain, and we will be killed from behind by the little devils. ”

He lay on the small high ground and shouted: "Leave three men with me to block the enemy puppet army that rushed up, and the others quickly retreated to that hill, occupied the favorable terrain, and covered our retreat with firepower." ”

Wang Xiaoliang said to the soldiers beside him: "Aim at the little devil who rushed up, you must not empty the gun, we don't have many bullets, once the bullets are finished, then wait for death, quickly aim for me." ”

The firepower fired from the small high ground was weak and weak, and four or five guns could not withstand the fire attack of forty or fifty enemy puppet troops.

Wang Xiaoliang looked back at the retreating soldiers, quickly retreat to the bottom of the mountain, he can't wait for the soldiers to occupy the mountain peak before retreating, if he loses time to be surrounded by the enemy, he can't withdraw without foreign aid.

He shouted: "Let each person go two robs, knock down a few little devils, take the opportunity to quickly retreat to that mountain, whoever is particularly slow will wait to be shot." ”

Wang Xiaoliang saw that the few shots fired knocked down several enemy puppet soldiers, and frightened the enemy to lie on the ground and fight back, he shouted violently: "Quickly retreat." ”

The five men with guns in their hands retreated towards the mountain as if they had been driven by wolves.

This mountain peak with an altitude of nearly 1,000 meters is the Ao Mountain at the eastern foot of the Daze Mountains, the eastern slope of the mountain is relatively gentle, but the higher you go, the steeper it becomes, if you can occupy the peak, take advantage of the dangerous position, Wang Xiaoliang's squad, block forty or fifty enemy puppet troops, if there are enough bullets, there should be no problem in holding out for an hour.

However, the problem was that there was a shortage of ammunition, and each squad of soldiers was assigned to patrol the border between the base area and the enemy-occupied area, and only 50 rounds of ammunition, five grenades, and two grenades were arranged.

They can have such good weapons and equipment, and they can only have such good weapons and sufficient ammunition when they sneak attack the two strongholds of the enemy puppet army on the road with the help of the thunder sword.

Wang Xiaoliang's squad had already consumed half of its ammunition to block the enemy's puppet army on a small plateau, even if it occupied the highest peak of Ao Mountain, and used the mountain as a position cover, it could not stop the fire attack of forty or fifty enemy puppet troops.

He took four soldiers to retreat towards Aoshan at full speed, and the enemy puppet army chasing after him saw Tubalu blindly fleeing, and the devil Cao Chang howled: "Tubalu is less than ten people, rush up and catch them, bring them back to the imperial army base camp, the commander will give a big reward, kill them." ”

Wang Xiaoliang and the soldiers ran faster under the fire of the enemy puppet army, but just like that, a soldier suddenly shouted: "I was shot." ”

By the time the other warriors turned around, the warrior had fallen in a pool of blood and had already died.

Wang Xiaoliang turned the muzzle of the gun angrily, half-knelt on the ground, aimed at the little devil who ran in front of him is a shot, the bullet flew out of the chamber with a whistling sound, and it did not hit the little devil, Wang Xiaoliang fired another shot, two bullets hit a devil and a puppet army, and the enemy puppet army hurriedly lay down and fired back.

As soon as the enemy puppet army lay down, Wang Xiaoliang was like a rabbit that suddenly jumped up, turned his head and rushed quickly towards the mountain.

Besides, Lei Jian received the information that came back to report to the soldiers, and immediately realized the seriousness of the problem, he ran into Principal Yan's office, and shouted loudly before he had time to report: "Principal Yan, Wang Xiaoliang led a class of our college to be pursued by the enemy puppet army in the direction of Aoshan, life and death are unpredictable, ask for support, I will immediately lead the troops to rescue, please approve." ”

As soon as Principal Yan heard that Lei Jian said that the problem was so serious, he immediately ordered: "Lei Jian, I order you to lead a company to support immediately." ”

"No, it's not a company, I'm going to bring all the troops of the two more companies I brought, only."

"Isn't the enemy forty or fifty? One can't even handle more than a hundred people? Principal Yan frowned and asked.
