Both sides were fighting for the last five minutes, and in order to save the lives of the soldiers, Commander Sun made an exception and disobeyed the order and gave the order to retreat in advance.

According to the deployment of the detachment, Regiment Commander Sun ordered loudly: "All battalions, all companies, and all platoons, cross cover to withdraw from Songzhuang, rush out of the enemy's encirclement, and each platoon will immediately split up and rush to different assembly areas, and then move to the deep mountains and act immediately." ”

The first regiment, under the leadership of Commander Sun, carried out the last maximum fire blow on the enemy, and ordered the soldiers to abandon their heavy weapons and evacuate immediately with light equipment.

The first regiment took the initiative to abandon the Songzhuang position, took each platoon as the combat unit, rushed out of the village under the cover of each other, and then divided into a dozen solitary action squads to disperse and retreat in different directions to the west.

As soon as Kameda saw that the Dohachi Road in Songzhuang was about to escape, he immediately reported it to the head of the Hoshino Shusuke Brigade.

The commander of the Shusuke Hoshino Brigade ordered Taro Hashimoto Osaku of the mixed brigade: "Order the artillery bombardment of the fleeing Tsuchihachi Road and destroy all the Tsuchihachi Routes." ”

"Report to General Hoshino, Tubalu rushed out of Songzhuang, like sheep in the mountains, scattered and running around, and the artillery fire could not catch the target." Taro Hashimoto reported loudly on the phone.

The commander of the Hoshino Shusuke Brigade ordered the captain of the Kameda Wing: "Kameda-kun, it is very good for your wing to capture Songzhuang, I order you to immediately take advantage of the victory to pursue and destroy all the escaped Tsuchihachi. ”

Captain Kameda ordered the devils of the two brigades to pursue the Dohachi Road, which was fleeing in the wilderness, and the sound of guns and cannons continued to sound behind the retreating soldiers, and the soldiers who were running, some were shot and fell in pools of blood, and some were wounded and captured.

At this time, fierce gunfire sounded in the south direction, which was the intelligence received from Lei Jian, and the third regiment of the detachment ambushed in Jiming Mountain, and exchanged fire with a Tokugawa devil brigade that tried to occupy Jiming Mountain and block the Eighth Route Army's retreat to the deep mountains.

The headquarters of the detachment, which was retreating to Jiming Mountain in the south, heard the fierce gunfire in Jiming Mountain in front of him, and Commander Liu said: "It seems that this kid Lei Jian has analyzed well, it must be that the third regiment is connected with the devil who rushed over." ”

The strength of the third regiment is more complete than that of the first and second regiments, but it is still very difficult for one regiment of the Eighth Route Army to deal with the strength of one brigade of devils.

Taking advantage of the position, the 3rd Regiment found a devil unit coming from the northeast, and the regiment commander ordered the battalions to prepare for battle.

The captain of the devil brigade would never have thought that Jiming Mountain had been occupied by the Eighth Route Army, and he was still setting up an ambush here, preparing to block the invading devil troops.

The enemy showed off his strength and approached Jiming Mountain, and when he was about to reach the halfway up the mountain, some of the little devils could no longer walk, and the captain of the devil brigade scolded fiercely: "Bastard, quickly occupy Jiming Mountain, occupy the mountain, you can trim it well, bastard, act quickly." ”

Before the little devil who had just sat down had not yet stood up, he was suddenly hit by a cannonball fired from the top of the rooster mountain, and the bullets fired by light and heavy machine guns and the grenades flying in the smoke exploded in the tired group of devils, and the little devils who hit him did not have time to fight back, so he turned around and fled down the mountain.

The captain of the devil brigade fled to the bottom of the mountain in embarrassment, and ordered mortars to bombard the position of Jiming Mountain and Tubalu.

Mortar shells fell on the hilltop, and the explosion kicked up dirt, rocks and shrapnel, killing and injuring many soldiers of the Eighth Route Army.

The commander of the third regiment ordered: "The mortars are firing at the group of little devils under the mountain, and we must repel the enemy's attack and keep the passage for the main force of the five detachments of the Eighth Route Army to pass through Jiming Mountain and retreat to the deep mountains." ”

The captain of the devil brigade did not expect that there would be mortars on the Tuba Road in the Jiming Mountain position, and this shell greeted, causing the devils to flee in all directions, and the ghosts cried wolves.

Just when the devil was tired of fleeing for his life, the mortar on the hill was dumbfired, and the captain of the devil's brigade laughed and said: "Warriors of the empire, there are no shells on the Tuba Road that occupies the position of Jiming Mountain, immediately organize the most fierce attack, and we must seize Jiming Mountain." ”

Under the supervision of the brigade leader, the little devil shouted with a gun and launched the most fierce attack on the position of the third regiment of the Eighth Route Army in Jiming Mountain.

The commander of the third regiment ordered the soldiers to be sure to block the enemy's attack, and even if there was the last soldier left, they must hold their positions.

The frantic attack of the little devils forced the soldiers of the third regiment to retreat to the second line of defense, and the devils broke through the first line of defense, set up mortars, and bombarded the second line of defense of the third regiment.

The position of the second line of defense of the third regiment was not wide, and the forces of one regiment were crammed into a narrow position, and under the fire of enemy artillery and heavy machine guns, there were heavy casualties.

Seeing that the second line of defense held by the three regiments was about to be broken through by the devils, suddenly on the top of the hill 100 meters east of Jiming Mountain, more than a dozen shells fell on the first line of defense position of the third regiment of the Eighth Route Army occupied by the devils in Jiming Mountain.

Under the cover of fire from the hill to the east, the three regiments began to counterattack the attacking devil brigade, and the enemy who hit it was difficult to parry, so they retreated from their positions in panic and fled down the mountain.

The thunder sword on the hill east of Jiming Mountain commanded loudly: "The soldiers of the first battalion attacked, rushed into the enemy group, and launched a hunt. ”

Under the fierce fire of the three regiments, the devil brigade broke and fled down the mountain, and was flanked by the first battalion of Lei Jian, which was killed on Jiming Mountain and the east mountain.

Lei Jian shouted to the commander of the third regiment who ordered the troops to pursue the devil brigade: "Third commander, it is best not to chase and fight, once it is besieged by the enemy's reinforcements, it will be difficult to get out, Jiming Mountain will be lost, and the passage for the main force of the detachment to retreat will be blocked." ”

"Who do you think you are? A half-haired child, still pointing fingers in front of me, when Lao Tzu was fighting, you were still breastfeeding, get out of the way, and fill me with less garlic. ”

The commander of the third regiment said a few words of Lei Jian with a pout, waved his hand and shouted: "All battalions, order the soldiers to quickly pursue the fleeing enemy, and you must destroy this devil army." ”

Lei Jian saw that the third regiment leader was so reckless, pointed at the back of the third regiment commander and scolded: "Bastard, reckless man who doesn't know how to advance or retreat, you will know in a while whether what I, a half-grown child, said is true or false, I am really angry." ”

The commander of the third regiment led the soldiers to bravely rush towards the fleeing enemy, and under the fire blow, the speed of the devil brigade broke and fled faster and faster.

Seeing that the third regiment was about to catch up with the little devils in front, the commander of the third regiment ordered the battalions: "The seventh battalion pursues in the middle, and the eighth and ninth battalions surround the fleeing little devils from both flanks and act quickly." ”

When the captain of the devil brigade saw that the three regiments of the pursuing Eighth Route Army were encircling his troops in three ways, he laughed slyly and said: "Yanxi, the commander of this Eighth Route Army is a big stupid pig, hahaha. ”

He saw that there was a high ground in front of him, and immediately ordered the devil troops to quickly disperse and flee in a fan shape to occupy the high ground in front.

The speed of the little devil's escape was as if he had just beaten the blood of a chicken, and the speed of the escape suddenly accelerated, and the commander of the third regiment immediately caught up with the little devil, and the formation that had just been encircled was broken by the little devil, and he ordered loudly: "Quickly form an encirclement of the devil, and this devil army must be destroyed." ”

The captain of the devil's brigade immediately ordered the troops who fled to the high ground to use the high ground as a temporary position, and give full play to the firepower of light and heavy weapons to eliminate this Tu Eighth Route force, which did not know whether to live or die.

With the firepower and strength of a devil's brigade, it can be said that there will be no difficulty in defeating the three regiments with the firepower and strength of the devil's brigade condescendingly against the tired army that is desperately chasing.

This is the real purpose of the cunning devil captain, who led the elite troops not to block and flee all the way.

The commander of the third regiment saw that the little devil had occupied the small high ground, and he scolded Lei Jian a little smugly: "Big boy, I will immediately organize the troops to surround the little devil troops who have been defeated and fled on this dirt slope, and then see what you say." ”

He ordered his troops, surrounded the small heights occupied by the devils, and launched the most fierce attack on the devils.

The soldiers received the order to bravely attack the little devils surrounded on the high ground with their guns in hand, and they were about to break through to the front of the devil's position, when they were suddenly counterattacked by the fiercest fire of the devil's brigade that had long been ready for battle on the high ground.
