The enemy's two brigades quickly attacked the woods, although the firepower of Li Gang's three companies was fierce, but they could not block the little devils who were attacking frantically, and they were about to be surrounded by the enemy in the woods, when suddenly the enemy's rear sounded earth-shattering shouts and bursting gunfire, Li Gang knew that the cavalry battalion had begun to move, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

However, this time he ignored the enemy's combat capability and cunning combat tactics, and just when the soldiers were striking the enemy with maximum firepower, Li Gang and their position were soon surrounded by the surrounding enemy.

The reconnaissance company commander suddenly looked around and couldn't help shouting: "Commander Li, we are about to be surrounded by the enemy in the woods, and if we don't retreat, we will be all finished." ”

Li Gang was directing the assault company's firepower to attack the devils attacking frontally, when he suddenly heard the shouts of the commander of the flank reconnaissance company, quickly looked around, and when he found that the enemy was shrinking the encirclement, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

He didn't have time to give the order to retreat, so he took the most effective retreat whistle of the Thunder Sword Regiment as an order, pursed his lips and made a retreat whistle, and at the same time shouted 'Pull, pull, pull——。 ’

At this time, the retreat has been blocked by the enemy, and if you want to break out of the encirclement, you can only desperately fight with the enemy, as long as you tear a hole, you can hope to break through.

The situation on the battlefield is very critical, and every minute of delay may wipe out the entire army, Li Gang roared: "We are the only group of soldiers led by the commander of the Thunder Sword, in order to kill quickly, every soldier must fight bravely to kill the enemy, break through the encirclement, and quickly retreat to the west mountain of the military city." ”

He shouted to the communicator beside him: "Xiao Liu, you rush out immediately, pass on my order, and order the commander of the cavalry battalion, Ma Ming, to withdraw from the battle immediately, move quickly to the south-southeast and west of the woods, tear through the periphery of the Japanese army to form a weak encirclement, and cover the withdrawal of the troops from the woods. ”

Li Gang ordered the assault company close to the southwest position: "Company Commander Fang, block the enemy who is encircling with the greatest firepower, and cover Xiao Liu to break out of the encirclement." ”

Under the cover of the fire of the assault company, the correspondent Xiao Liu braved the enemy's bullets and bullets, finally broke out of the enemy's fire encirclement, and quickly rushed to the northwest to fight the enemy's cavalry battalion.

Ma Ming, who was leading the troops to the rear of the enemy, saw Xiao Liu holding a gun and shouting: "Battalion Commander Ma, Commander Li ordered the cavalry battalion to withdraw from the battle immediately, quickly go around to the southeast of the woods, tear through the devil encirclement with firepower, and cover Commander Li to lead three special companies to break through." ”

As soon as Ma Ming heard that the three special companies led by Li Gang were surrounded by the enemy in the woods, he roared angrily: "All the soldiers of the cavalry battalion, immediately withdraw from the battle and quickly reinforce Commander Li." ”

Li Gang held a telescope and found that they had been surrounded by the enemy, and decisively ordered: "The commanders of each company obey my order, once the cavalry battalion strikes the enemy from the outside in the southeast direction of the woods, covering our troops to kill the enemy from the encirclement, the assault company will be the pioneer and break through from the inside to the outside with the greatest firepower."

Did you hear the reconnaissance company from both flanks as an auxiliary, expanding the range of firepower, drawing out troops and firepower according to the strength of the enemy, and covering the retreat of the spy company that acted as a rearguard to block the enemy? ”

The company commanders of the three special companies shouted at the same time: "We heard you. ”

The enemy encircling the woods was striking with the most frenzied firepower, and with the help of powerful troops, they quickly compressed the encirclement and surrounded the positions of Li Gang's three special companies.

Li Gang saw that the situation in the position was urgent, and if the cavalry battalion could not rush to the southeast of the woods in time to reinforce, the soldiers of their three companies would be suppressed by the enemy's powerful fire and die in the woods.

He can't wait, and he doesn't dare to wait, because waiting is tantamount to self-destruction.

Li Gang resolutely ordered again: "The entire breakthrough formation remains unchanged, covered by crossfire, and break through to the southeast of the woods at the fastest speed." ”

The assault company is the commander of the strong company and leads the soldiers to attack the encircled enemy from the front, the reconnaissance company cooperates from both flanks to strike at the encircled devils, and the spy company retreats while fighting, and the three companies are like a group of lions in the encirclement formed by the enemy, rushing left and right, but they can never break through the enemy's firepower.

The first and second captains of the enemy met together, and when they saw the troops of the Eighth Route Army that had been surrounded and struggling to the death, the captain of the first Japanese army laughed wildly and said: "Yanxi, this small army of the Eighth Route has become a bag, and we will soon destroy them all." ”

The second captain of the Japanese army shouted even more arrogantly: "Warriors of the Imperial Japanese Army, the Tubalu has been surrounded, and it is difficult to fly at this time, so I order to narrow the encirclement and destroy this Tubalu without leaving one by one with the most fierce firepower." ”

Under the supervision of the commander, the little devil quickly compressed the encirclement, and the distance between the three companies of the Eighth Route Army and the enemy became closer and closer, at this time, with the strength of three companies, and the elite confrontation of the two Japanese brigades, this kind of unequal battle, Li Gang's three companies were soon at a disadvantage, although the soldiers of the troops bravely killed the enemy, risking their lives to impact the enemy's encirclement, but in the end, because they were outnumbered, under the fire of the powerful enemy all around, the troops quickly attrition a large number of troops.

As an assault company that broke through the enemy's encirclement head-on, the soldiers were constantly shot and fell to the ground in the rain of bullets.

The rear guard blocked the enemy's spy company, and every time he followed the retreating troops to take a step back, the crazy little devils rushed up, as a reconnaissance company with two wings to break through head-on, under the enemy's continuous compression of the encirclement fire, watching the soldiers fight to the last moment one by one.

Li Gang saw that the soldiers were constantly being shot and sacrificed, he scolded himself in his heart for the carelessness of his bastard, originally wanted to lure and contain the enemy, lead the enemy into the woods, use the woods, shrubs and weeds to cover, and destroy the enemy's living force with the greatest firepower.

Unexpectedly, the cunning Japanese commander actually ordered the troops to quickly surround the woods from the periphery from three directions, but Li Gang failed to see through the enemy's conspiracy in time, misjudged the situation, and missed the best opportunity to withdraw from the woods.

Li Gang misses Lei Jian even more at this time, if the head of Lei Jian is commanding here, there will definitely be no such defeat.

He watched the soldiers fall one by one under the enemy's dense light and heavy weapon fire, and couldn't help but shout with blood in his veins: "Comrades, the commander of the Thunder Sword is by our side, in order to kill more little devils, we rushed out of the enemy's encirclement alive——。 ”

The soldiers of the assault company, special agent company, and reconnaissance company of the only regiment of the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region of the Eighth Route Army who could still continue to fight, in order to continue to kill devils alive, risked everything, held weapons with flaming tongues, and fearlessly moved forward.

A group that puts life and death aside, has seen the current dangerous situation, if you don't fight, you are waiting for death, and you may still be alive in battle, so you will put yourself to death and come back to life, and the warriors will increase the courage to kill the enemy bravely and kill the enemy who surrounds them.

Just when Li Gang led three companies to fight to the death with the enemy at the cost of his life, and was inspired by the belief that dying in battle was heroic and that he could live if he rushed out, he was indomitable and slaughtered into the enemy group, when he suddenly heard fierce gunfire outside the woods.

The soldiers who were fighting into the enemy group heard the exciting gunfire of timely reinforcements, which was more pleasant than the sound of firecrackers heard in the Chinese New Year's Eve night, and they shouted: "The brothers of the cavalry battalion have come to reinforce us, kill——。 ”

When Li Gang heard that Ma Ming led the cavalry battalion to attack the encircled enemy in the southeast direction of the woods, he shed tears of mixed feelings, and led the soldiers to take the lead bravely, cooperating with the cavalry battalion outside inside and outside, and killing the enemy group that surrounded him.

The Japanese commander saw that the Japanese troops surrounding the woods were compressing the position of the Eighth Route Army resisting in the woods as quickly as possible, and laughed arrogantly: "Destroy this Dirt Eighth Road, it seems that you don't need to enjoy a cherry blossom tune to wipe out all the Dirt Eighth Route in the woods." ”

The commander of the little devil was happy too early, just when the captain of the first brigade of the Japanese army was laughing and howling, a fierce gunfire suddenly broke out from the southeast of the woods, and the arrogant Japanese commander did not realize that it was the Eighth Route Army that was attacking inside and outside, and thought that it was the Japanese troops, who were beginning to carry out the final encirclement and suppression, and the encircled Eighth Route Army was doing a dying struggle.

The little devils of the Eighth Route Army troops in the woods from the southeast of the woods surrounded the woods, holding their guns and using the most fierce firepower, to prevent the Eighth Route Army from breaking through the woods.
